CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

Certain statements in this quarterly report contain or may contain forward-looking statements that are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements were based on various factors and were derived utilizing numerous assumptions and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the risk of doing business in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), our ability to satisfy our obligations as they become due, implement our strategic initiatives, economic, political and market conditions and fluctuations, government and industry regulation, Chinese, U.S. and global competition, and other factors. Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our control.

Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the Federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this quarterly report, and you should not rely on these statements without also considering the risks and uncertainties associated with these statements and our business.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization

 

Gold Horse International, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) was incorporated on March 21, 2000 under the laws of the State of New Jersey under its former name “Segway III”. Prior to June 29, 2007, the Company was a development stage company attempting to implement its business plan to become a fully integrated online provider that links the supply and demand sides of the ground trucking industry. In November 2007, the Company filed a Certificate of Domestication in the State of Florida whereby the Company domesticated as a Florida corporation under the name Gold Horse International, Inc.

 

On June 29, 2007, the Company executed a Share Exchange Agreement (“Share Exchange Agreement”) with Gold Horse International, Inc. (“Gold Horse Nevada”), a Nevada corporation, whereby the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Gold Horse Nevada in exchange for newly-issued stock of the Company to Gold Horse Nevada shareholders. Gold Horse Nevada was incorporated on August 14, 2006 in the State of Nevada.

 

Under the Share Exchange Agreement, on June 29, 2007, the Company issued 48,500,000 shares of its common stock to the Gold Horse Nevada Stockholders and their assignees in exchange for 100% of the common stock of Gold Horse International. Additionally, the Company’s prior President, CEO and sole director, cancelled 9,655,050 of the Company’s common stock he owned immediately prior to the closing. After giving effect to the cancellation of shares, the Company had a total of 1,500,002 shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to Closing. After the Closing, the Company had a total of 50,000,002 shares of common stock outstanding, with the Gold Horse Nevada Stockholders and their assignees owning 97% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Gold Horse Nevada became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Gold Horse Nevada’s former shareholders own the majority of the Company’s voting stock.

 

Gold Horse Nevada owns 100% of Global Rise International, Limited (“Global Rise”), a Cayman Islands corporation incorporated on May 9, 2007. Through Global Rise, Gold Horse Nevada  operates, controls and beneficially owns the construction, hotel and real estate development businesses in China under a series of contractual arrangements (the “Contractual Arrangements”) with Inner Mongolia Jin Ma Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. (“Jin Ma Real Estate”), Inner Mongolia Jin Ma Construction Co., Ltd. (“Jin Ma Construction”) and Inner Mongolia Jin Ma Hotel Co., Ltd. (“Jin Ma Hotel”), (collectively referred to as the “Jin Ma Companies”). Other than the Contractual Arrangements with the Jin Ma Companies, the Company, Gold Horse Nevada or Global Rise has no business or operations. The Contractual Arrangements are discussed below.

 

On October 10, 2007, the Company established Inner Mongolia (Cayman) Technology & Development Ltd. (“IMTD”), a wholly-foreign owned enterprise incorporated in the PRC and wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Rise,

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

As a result of these Contractual Arrangements, the acquisition of Gold Horse Nevada and the Jin Ma Companies by the Company was accounted for as a reverse merger because on a post-merger basis, the former shareholders of Gold Horse Nevada held a majority of the outstanding common stock of the Company on a voting and fully-diluted basis. As a result, Gold Horse Nevada is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statement data presented are those of the Jin Ma Companies for all periods prior to the Company’s acquisition of Gold Horse Nevada on June 29, 2007, and the financial statements of the consolidated companies from the acquisition date forward.

 

PRC law currently places certain limitations on foreign ownership of Chinese companies. To comply with these foreign ownership restrictions, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Rise, operates its business in China through the Jin Ma Companies, each of which is a limited liability company headquartered in Hohhot, the capital city of the Autonomous Region of Inner Mongolia in China, and organized under PRC laws. Each of the Jin Ma Companies has the relevant licenses and approvals necessary to operate the Company’s businesses in China and none of them is exposed to liabilities incurred by the other party. Global Rise has Contractual Arrangements with each of the Jin Ma Companies and their shareholders (collectively the Jin Ma Companies Shareholders”) pursuant to which Global Rise provides business consulting and other general business operation services to the Jin Ma Companies. Through these Contractual Arrangements, Global Rise also has the ability to control the daily operations and financial affairs of the Jin Ma Companies, appoint each of their senior executives and approve all matters requiring shareholder approval. As a result of these Contractual Arrangements, which enable Global Rise to control the Jin Ma Companies, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the Jin Ma Companies. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the Jin Ma Companies’ results, assets and liabilities in its financial statements

 

The Contractual Arrangements are comprised of a series of agreements, including a Consulting Services Agreement and an Operating Agreement, through which Global Rise has the right to advise, consult, manage and operate each of the Jin Ma Companies, and collect and own all of their respective net profits. Additionally, under a Shareholders’ Voting Rights Proxy Agreement, the Jin Ma Companies Shareholders have vested their voting control over the Jin Ma Companies to Global Rise. In order to further reinforce the Company’s rights to control and operate the Jin Ma Companies, these companies and their shareholders have granted Global Rise, under an Option Agreement, the exclusive right and option to acquire all of their equity interests in the Jin Ma Companies or, alternatively, all of the assets of the Jin Ma Companies. Further the Jin Ma Companies Shareholders have pledged all of their rights, titles and interests in the Jin Ma Companies to Global Rise under an Equity Pledge Agreement.

 

Gold Horse Nevada entered into the Contractual Arrangements with each of the Jin Ma Companies and their respective shareholders on August 31, 2006. On June 29, 2007, concurrently with the closing of the Share Exchange Transaction, the Contractual Arrangements were amended and restated by and among Gold Horse Nevada and Global Rise, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the Company on the one hand, and each of the Jin Ma Companies and their respective shareholders on the other hand, pursuant to which the Company was made a party to the Contractual Arrangements.

 

Inner Mongolia Jin Ma Construction Company Ltd.

 

Jin Ma Construction is an engineering and construction company that offers general contracting, construction management and building design services primarily in Hohhot City, the Autonomous Region of Inner Mongolia in China. In operation since 1980, Jin Ma Construction was formally registered as a limited liability company in Hohhot City in March 2002.

 

Inner Mongolia Jin Ma Real Estate Development Co. Ltd.

Inner Mongolia Jin Ma Hotel Co. Ltd.

 

Jin Ma Hotel was founded in 1999 and formally registered in April 2004 as a limited liability company in Hohhot City.

Basis of presentation

 

Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its condensed consolidated financial position and the results of its operations for the interim period presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report for the year ended June 30, 2008.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for Gold Horse International, Inc., its subsidiaries and variable interest entities, 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 Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gold Horse International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Gold Horse Nevada, Global Rise and Inner Mongolia (Cayman) Technology and Development, Ltd., and its variable interest entities Jin Ma Construction, Jin Ma Hotel and Jin Ma Real Estate. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Jin Ma Companies are considered variable interest entities (“VIE”), and the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company’s relationships with the Jin Ma Companies and their shareholders are governed by a series of contractual arrangements between Gold Horse Nevada, Global Rise, and each of the Jin Ma Companies, which are the operating companies of the Company in the PRC. Under PRC laws, each of IMTD, Jin Ma Construction, Jin Ma Real Estate and Jin Ma Hotel is an independent legal person and none of them is exposed to liabilities incurred by the other parties. On June 29, 2007, as amended, the Company entered into the following contractual arrangements with each of the Jin Ma Companies:

 

Consulting Services Agreements. Pursuant to the exclusive Consulting Services Agreements with each of the Jin Ma Companies, the Company, through its subsidiary, Global Rise, exclusively provides to the Jin Ma Companies general business operations services and consulting services as well as general business operation advice and strategic planning (the “Services”). Each of the Jin Ma Companies shall pay a quarterly consulting service fees in Renminbi (“RMB”) to Global Rise that is equal to all of its net profit for such quarter.

 

Operating Agreements. Pursuant to the Operating Agreements with the Jin Ma Companies and their respective shareholders, Global Rise provides guidance and instructions on the Jin Ma Companies daily operations, financial management and employment issues. The Jin Ma Companies Shareholders must designate the candidates recommended by Global Rise as their representatives on each of the Jin Ma Companies’ board of directors. Global Rise has the right to appoint senior executives of the Jin Ma Companies. In addition, Global Rise agreed to guarantee the Jin Ma Companies performance under any agreements or arrangements relating to the Jin Ma Companies business arrangements with any third party. Each of the Jin Ma Companies, in return, agrees to pledge its accounts receivable and all of its assets to Global Rise. Moreover, each of the Jin Ma Companies agrees that without Global Rise’s prior consent, it will not

engage in any transactions that could materially affect its assets, liabilities, rights or operations, including, without limitation, incurrence or assumption of any indebtedness, sale or purchase of any assets or rights, incurrence of any encumbrance on any of its assets or intellectual property rights in favor of a third party or transfer of any agreements relating to its business operation to any third party. The term of this agreement is ten (10) years and may be extended only upon our written confirmation prior to the expiration of this agreement, with the extended term to be mutually agreed upon by the parties.

 

Equity Pledge Agreements. Under the Equity Pledge Agreements, the shareholders of the Jin Ma Companies pledged all of their equity interests in the Jin Ma Companies to Global Rise to guarantee the Jin Ma Companies’ performance of their obligations under the exclusive consulting services agreements. If the Jin Ma Companies or its shareholders breach their respective contractual obligations, Global Rise, as pledgee, will be entitled to certain rights, including the right to sell the pledged equity interests. The shareholders of the Jin Ma Companies also agreed that upon occurrence of any event of default, Global Rise shall be granted an exclusive, irrevocable power of attorney to take actions in the place and stead of the shareholders of the Jin Ma Companies to carry out the security provisions of the equity pledge agreement and take any action and execute any instrument that Global Rise may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of the equity pledge agreement. The shareholders of the Jin Ma Companies agreed not to dispose of the pledged equity interests or take any actions that would prejudice our interest. The equity pledge agreement will expire two (2) years after the Jin Ma Companies’ obligations under the exclusive consulting services agreements have been fulfilled.

 

Option Agreements. Under the Option Agreements, the shareholders of the Jin Ma Companies irrevocably granted us or our designee an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of the equity interests in the Jin Ma Companies for the cost of the initial contributions to the registered capital or the minimum amount of consideration permitted by applicable PRC law. Global Rise, or its designee, has sole discretion to decide when to exercise the option, whether in part or in full. The term of this agreement is ten (10) years and may be extended prior to its expiration by written agreement of the parties.

 

Proxy Agreements. Pursuant to the Proxy Agreements, the shareholders of the Jin Ma Companies agreed to irrevocably grant a person to be designated by Global Rise with the right to exercise their voting rights and their other rights, in accordance with applicable laws and their respective Article of Association, including but not limited to the rights to sell or transfer all or any of their equity interests of the Jin Ma Companies, and appoint and vote for the directors and chairman as the authorized representative of the shareholders of the Jin Ma Companies.

 

The accounts of the Jin Ma Companies are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (Revised), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - an Interpretation of ARB No. 51”. As a VIE, the Jin Ma Companies sales are included in the Company’s total revenues, its income from operations is consolidated with the Company’s, and the Company’s net income includes all of the Jin Ma Companies net income. The Company does not have any non-controlling interests and accordingly, did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income attributable to the Company. Because of the contractual arrangements, the Company had a pecuniary interest in the Jin Ma Companies that require consolidation of the Company’s and the Jin Ma Companies financial statements.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings, and the calculation of the value of any beneficial conversion feature and warrants related to convertible debt.

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company adopted SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

 

Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

 

The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s fair value measurements. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, loans payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and customer advances approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value in accordance with SFAS 157.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions mainly in the PRC and the United States. Balances in the United States are insured up to $250,000 at each bank. Balances in banks in the PRC are uninsured.

 

Concentrations of credit risk

 

The Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is maintained with state-owned banks within the People’s Republic of China of which no deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts. A significant portion of the Company’s sales are credit sales which are primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in these areas; however, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivables is limited due to generally short payment terms. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk.

Accounts and other receivables

 

The Company has a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable and other receivables to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. At March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, the Company has established, based on a review of its outstanding accounts receivable balances, an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $890,683 and $1,025,431, respectively, on its total accounts receivable.

 

Other receivables amounts were primarily related to advances made to various vendors, subcontractors and other parties in the normal course of business and the allowance was established when those parties deemed to be unlikely to repay the amounts. At March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, the Company has established, based on a review of its outstanding other receivable balances, an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $739,297 and $883,875, respectively. The significant portion of the allowance for doubtful accounts for the Company’s outstanding other receivables was recorded in fiscal 2007 after the Company made several attempts to collect. Management is still attempting to collect these other receivables and has not yet netted the other receivable balance against the specific allowance. At such time as management exhausts all collection efforts, the other receivable balance will be netted against the allowance account.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories, consisting of construction materials and consumable goods related to the Company’s hotel operations are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out method.

 

Advances to suppliers  

 

The Company advances to certain vendors for purchase of construction materials and services. The advances to suppliers are interest free and unsecured. The advances to suppliers amounted to $98,161 and $95,754 at March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Real estate held for sale

 

The Company capitalizes as real estate held for sale the direct construction and development costs, property taxes, interest incurred on costs related to land under development and other related costs (i.e. engineering, surveying, landscaping, etc.) until the property reaches its intended use. At March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, real estate held for sale amounted to $0 and $125,070, respectively.

 

Construction in process

 

Properties currently under development are accounted for as construction-in-process. Construction-in-process is recorded at acquisition cost, including prepaid land use rights cost, development expenditure, professional fees and the interest expenses capitalized during the course of construction for the purpose of financing the project. Upon completion and readiness for use of the project, the cost of construction-in-progress is to be transferred to an appropriate asset such as real estate held for sale. Construction in progress is valued at the lower of cost or market. Management evaluates the market value of its properties on a periodic basis for impairment. As of March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, construction in process amounted to $5,091,074 and $4,537,240, respectively.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not consider it necessary to record any impairment charges during the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China and the United States. The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Laws, prior to January 1, 2008, the Company is subject to Enterprise Income Taxes (“EIT”) at a statutory rate of 33%, which comprises 30% national income tax and 3% local income tax. Beginning January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law replaced the existing laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DES”) and Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIEs”). The key changes include the new standard EIT rate of 25% which replaced the 33% rate previously applicable to both DES and FIEs, except for High Tech companies who pay a reduced rate of 15%

 

The Company adopted FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 109,” as of January 1, 2007. Under FIN 48, the evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Advances from customers

 

Advances from customers at March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008 of $311,997 and $192,356, respectively, consist of prepayments from third party customers to the Company for construction and real estate transactions to ensure sufficient funds are available to complete the real estate and construction projects. The Company will recognize the advances as revenue upon transfer of title to the buyer, in compliance with its revenue recognition policy.

 

Basic and diluted earnings per common share

 

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), “Earnings per share”. Earnings per share, for all periods presented, have been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the common shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt (using the if-converted method) and warrants (using the treasury stock method). The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenues streams of the Company:

 

Real estate sales which primarily involve the sale of multi-family units and community environments are reported in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”. Generally, profits from the sale of development properties, less 5% business tax, is recognized by the full accrual method when the sale is consummated. A sale is not considered consummated until (1) the parties are bound by the terms of a contract, (2) all consideration has been exchanged, (3) any permanent financing of which the seller is responsible has been arranged, (4) all conditions precedent to closing have been performed, (5) the seller does not have substantial continuing involvement with the property, and (6) the usual risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. In November 2007, Jin Ma Real Estate entered into an agreement to construct new dormitories for the Inner Mongolia Electrical Vocational Technical School (“Vocational School”). Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Jin Ma Real Estate constructed the buildings and, upon completion, pursuant to a sale-type capital lease, leased the buildings to the Inner Mongolia Electrical Vocational Technical School and will receive payments for a period of 26 years at an amount of 4,800,000 RMB or approximately $700,000 per annum. In November 2008, Jin Ma Real Estate completed the construction and in December 2008, Jin Ma Real Estate received the first payment of 4,800,000 RMB. In accordance with FAS 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”, the gain was deferred because the minimum initial investment by the buyer was less than the required 20% initial investment expressed as a percentage of the sales value (FAS 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”, paragraph 54). Therefore the gain will be recognized into income as payments are received using the installment method. The installment method apportions each cash receipt and principal payment by the buyer between cost recovered and profit. The apportionment is in the same ratio as total cost and total profit bear to the sales value. Accordingly, revenue and cost of sales is recognized based on this apportionment, and the Company recognized imputed interest income on the accompanying statement of income as summarized below.

 

Since the agreement did not have a stated interest rate, the Company used an imputed interest rate of interest of 6.12% and is reflecting payments due under the agreement as a note receivable on the accompanying balance sheets. The property sold had a sales value of $61,691,138 RMB (approximately $9,000,000). The deferred gain on the sale of the property was approximately $51,730 of which $859 was recognized pursuant to the installment method and is reflected in the accompanying statements of income follows:

As March 31, 2009, the remaining deferred gain of $50,939 is reflected as a reduction to the note receivable in the accompanying balance sheet. The recorded imputed interest discount will be realized as the balances due are collected. In the event of early liquidation, interest is recognized on the simple interest method. Principal and the related imputed interest are receivable annually at approximately $700,000 per year.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

The Company allocated the first payment received in December 2008 as follows:

 

Amount applied to principal balance of note receivable

$      149,495

Interest income recognized on statement of income

550,920

Total payment received

$      700,415

 

Revenue from the performance of general contracting, construction management and design-building services is recognized upon completion of the service.

 

In accounting for long-term engineering and construction-type contracts, the Company follows the provisions of the AICPA’s Statement of Position 81-1—Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts. The Company recognizes revenues using the percentage of completion method of accounting by relating contract costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion. Contract price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as work progresses and adjustments proportionate to the percentage of completion are reflected in contract revenues and gross profit in the reporting period when such estimates are revised. This method of revenue recognition requires the Company to prepare estimates of costs to complete contracts in progress. In making such estimates, judgments are required to evaluate contingencies such as potential variances in schedule, the cost of materials and labor, and productivity; and the impact of change orders, liability claims, contract disputes, and achievement of contractual performance standards which may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. The asset, “costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings,” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, “billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings,” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.

 

Revenue primarily derived from hotel operations, including the rental of rooms and food and beverage sales, is recognized when rooms are occupied and services have been rendered.

 

Foreign currency translation and comprehensive income

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company is the local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of the Company are translated into United States dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”. Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. The cumulative translation adjustment and effect of exchange rate changes on cash for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $11,779 and $115,147, respectively. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. All of the Company’s revenue transactions are transacted in the functional currency. The Company does not enter any material transaction in foreign currencies and accordingly, transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Asset and liability accounts at March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008 were translated at 6.8456 RMB to $1.00 USD and at 6.8718 RMB to $1.00 USD, respectively. Equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statements for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were 6.84659 RMB and 7.39687 RMB to $1.00 USD, respectively. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations is calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.

 

Stock-based compensation  

 

The Company accounts for stock options issued to employees in accordance with SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. There were no options outstanding as of March 31, 2009 and 2008. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with EITF No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquisition, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.”

 

Advertising

 

Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were not material.

 

Accumulated other comprehensive income  

 

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130) “Reporting Comprehensive Income” to recognize the elements of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. For the Company, comprehensive income for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 included net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Segment reporting  

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (“SFAS 131”), “Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. During the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company operated in three reportable business segments - (1) the Construction segment (2) Hotel segment and (3) Real estate development segment.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements  

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) may have an impact on accounting for future business combinations once adopted.

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on its financial statements.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 161 on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2008, the FASB finalized Staff Position No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). This position amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 (“SFAS 142”), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. FSP 142-3 applies to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets and both intangible assets acquired in business combinations and asset acquisitions. This position is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of FSP 142-3 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt FSP APB 14-1 beginning on July 1, 2009, and this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 162 to have a material impact on the preparation of its condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

On June 16, 2008, the FASB issued final Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,” to address the question of whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting. The FSP determines that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to dividend payments should be included in earnings per share calculations. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1 as well as the impact of the adoption on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2008, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-5”). EITF 07-5 mandates a two-step process for evaluating whether an equity-linked financial instrument or embedded feature is indexed to the entity’s own stock. Warrants that a company issues that contain a strike price adjustment feature, upon the adoption of EITF 07-5, are no longer being considered indexed to the company’s own stock. Accordingly, adoption of EITF 07-5 will change the current classification (from equity to liability) and the related accounting for such warrants outstanding at that date. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of EITF 07-5 will have on its financial statement presentation and disclosures.

 

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, “Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities” (“FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8”). FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 amends FAS 140 and FIN 46(R) to require additional disclosures regarding transfers of financial assets and interest in variable interest entities. FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 is effective for interim or annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 will not have an impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

NOTE 2 – NOTE RECEIVABLE

 

Note receivable, which was attributable to the leasing of the Vocational School pursuant to a sale-type capital lease (see Note 1), is accounted for using the installment method of accounting as well as original note value. In accordance with FAS 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”, a gain was deferred on notes not meeting the minimum initial 20% investment by the buyer expressed as a percentage of the sales value (See Note 1). Management believes that the note receivable is fully collectable. Therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts is deemed to be required.

NOTE 5 – DEPOSITS ON PREPAID LAND USE RIGHTS

 

For the development of a new commercial real estate projects, the Company must first obtain granted land use rights. Land use rights can be granted through bidding, auction and listing. The Company then will enter into a land use right grant contract with the relevant government authority. At March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, the Company made deposits with various governmental agencies to acquire a long-term interest’s to utilize certain land to construct real property for sale or development. In order to obtain the provincial government’s permission to build on top of the land, the Company will need to make additional payments to the respective governmental agency. Since the Company has not received the final land use rights contract or the license to build on these lands, the Company has reflected these deposits as “deposits on prepaid land use rights” on the accompanying balance sheets. Upon obtaining the land use contracts, the deposit on land use rights is to be transferred to construction in process.

NOTE 11 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT (continued)

 

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, on the first closing which occurred on November 30, 2007, the Company issued $2,183,000 principal amount 10% secured convertible debentures to the purchasers together with the common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,345,930 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company paid Next Generation Equity Research, LLC (“Next”), a broker dealer and member of FINRA, a commission of $174,640 and issued Next common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 507,674 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.50 per share. Additionally, the Company reimbursed one of the investors $30,000 to defer its legal fees in connection with the financing. The Company used the balance of the proceeds for general working capital.

 

Within five days following the effectiveness of the registration statement described below, a second closing was suppose to occur and the Company was to issue the remaining $1,092,000 principal amount 10% secured convertible debentures to the purchasers together with the common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,174,422 shares of the Company’s common stock. The registration statement was declared effective on August 11, 2008 and, as of the date of this report, the Company does not expect to receive the funds from the second closing.

 

The secured convertible debentures, which bear interest at 10% per annum, were due on March 31, 2009. The Company did not repay the debentures when due and they are currently in default. Interest is payable in cash quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 beginning on the first date after the issuance. At the Company’s option, and providing certain conditions precedent have been met, interest can be paid in shares of our common stock valued at the lesser of (i) the conversion rate, or (ii) 90% of the lesser of (a) the average VWAP (as defined in the debenture) for the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the interest payment date or (b) the average VWAP for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the delivery of the interest conversion shares. The Company is not permitted to prepay the debentures without the prior written consent of the holders. The debentures are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock based upon an initial conversion rate of $0.344 per share, subject to adjustment as hereinafter set forth.

 

The Company agreed that so long as the debentures remain outstanding, unless the Company receives the prior written consent of the holders of at least 85% of the outstanding principal amount of the debentures, the Company agreed that it will not:

 

 

incur additional indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions,

 

incur any liens on any of our property or assets,

 

repurchase any of its common stock, subject to certain exceptions,

 

amend its charter documents in a manner that would be adverse to the debenture holders,

 

pay any cash dividends or distributions on any equity securities, or

 

enter into any transaction with an affiliate unless it is made on an arm’s-length basis and approved by a majority of the disinterred directors.

 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the holders have the right to immediately accelerate the maturity date of the principal amount of the debentures as well as any accrued but unpaid interest and liquidated damages and these amounts shall be immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount. Mandatory Default Amount means the sum of (i) the greater of (A) 130% of the outstanding principal amount of the debentures, plus 100% of accrued and unpaid interest, or (B) the outstanding principal amount of the debentures, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the conversion price on the date the Mandatory Default Amount is either (a) demanded (if demand or notice is required to create an event of default) or otherwise due or (b) paid in full, whichever has a lower Conversion Price, multiplied by the VWAP on the date the Mandatory Default Amount is either (x) demanded or otherwise due or (y) paid in full, whichever has a higher VWAP, and (ii) all other amounts, costs, expenses and liquidated damages due in respect of the debentures.

NOTE 11 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT (continued)

 

If such amount is not satisfied within five days the interest rate on the debentures increases to 18%. Events of Default include customary clauses such as failure to make payments when required, failure to observe any covenant contained in the debentures, a default under any other document executed in connection with the transaction, bankruptcy or default under any other obligation greater than $150,000. In addition, an event of default would occur if the Company’s common stock should no longer be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, if the Company were a party to a change of control transaction involving in excess of 33% of its assets or if the registration statement described below is not declared effective within 180 days after the first closing date, among other provisions.

 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the outstanding principal amount of the debentures, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, are, at the holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount. Commencing five days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of the debentures, the interest rate on the debentures begins accruing at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.

 

The warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of issuance at an initial exercise price of $0.50 per share, subject to adjustment as hereinafter set forth. The warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis at any time when there is not an effective registration statement covering the underlying shares. The Company is permitted to call the warrants on 30 trading days’ prior notice at $0.001 per warrant at any time after the effective date of the registration statement covering the shares underlying the warrants when, (i) the VWAP (as defined in the warrant) for each of 20 consecutive trading days beginning with the effective date of the registration statement exceeds $1.50, (ii) the average daily volume for during this period exceeds 500,000 shares of common stock per trading day and (iii) the holder is not in possession of any information that constitutes, or might constitute, material non-public information which was provided by the Company to the holder.

 

The conversion price of the debentures and the exercise price of the warrants are subject to the proportional adjustment in the event of a stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar corporate events. Both the conversion price of the debentures and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures as well as the exercise price of the warrants and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is subject to adjustment if the Company should issue shares of common stock or other securities convertible or exercisable into shares of common stock or otherwise reprice any existing conversion or exercise prices to a price less than the then current conversion and/or exercise prices.

 

The debentures are not convertible and the warrants are not exercisable to the extent that (i) the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the holder and (ii) the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of the debentures and/or the exercise of the warrants would result in the beneficial ownership by holder of more than 4.99% of our then outstanding common stock. This ownership limitation can be increased to 9.99% by the holder upon 61 days notice to the Company.

 

In conjunction with the transaction, Mr. Liankuan Yang, Ms. Yang Yang and Ms. Runlan Ma, officers and directors of the Company, pledged an aggregate of 19,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by them as additional security for the Company’s obligations under the transaction. Mr. Liankuan Yang, Ms. Yang Yang and Ms. Runlan Ma have also entered into lock-up agreements whereby they are agreed not to offer or sell any shares of the Company’s common stock owned by them until the 180th trading day after the effective date of the registration statement described elsewhere herein.

NOTE 11 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT (continued)

 

So long as the debentures are outstanding, should the Company issue any common stock or common stock equivalent, the Company granted the purchasers a right of first refusal whereby each purchaser in this offering has the right to participate in such subsequent financing up to an amount equal to 100% of such subsequent financing upon the same terms and conditions of that financing. If the Company undertakes such a financing while the debentures remain outstanding, other than an underwritten offering, the holders are entitled to exchange the debentures on a dollar for dollar basis for any securities which the Company may issue in the subsequent financing.

 

In addition, during the period from the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement until 90 days following the effective date of the registration statement described below, the Company agreed not to issue any shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of common stock subject to certain exceptions which includes the offer and sale of up to $3,000,000 of equity securities limited solely to offshore purchasers. The Company also agreed that so long as the purchasers own any of the securities sold or to be issued in the transaction, the Company will not enter into any agreement which would involve a variable rate transaction, which includes floating conversion prices, conversion prices with reset mechanisms or equity lines of credit among others.

 

The Company granted the purchasers certain piggy-back registration rights. In addition, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the shares of common stock underlying the $3,275,000 principal amount debentures and the warrants so as to permit the public resale thereof within 45 days from the first closing date. The Company is subject to the payment to the holders liquidated damages if it fails to file the registration statement within 45 days from the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, or if the registration statement is not declared effective within 120 days from the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement (or 150 days if the staff of the SEC reviews the filing), or if all the securities are not registered by April 30, 2008 as well as certain other events. The liquidated damages, which are payable in cash, will be calculated at 1.5% of the aggregate purchase price paid by each holder for every 30 day period, with a maximum of 18% of the aggregate purchase price. If the Company fails to pay all or any portion of these liquidated damages, they accrue interest at 18% per annum. The Company is obligated to pay all expenses associated with the registration statement, other than fees and expenses of the holders counsel, if any, any commissions payable by the holders on the sale of the underlying securities.

 

The registration statement was declared effective on August 11, 2008. Pursuant to FASB Staff Position, or FSP, EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements, in fiscal 2008, the Company has recorded a registration penalty of $117,882. Additionally, for the nine month ended March 31, 2009, the Company accrued interest expense of $10,609 related to the non-payment of the liquidated damages.

 

In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (‘‘EITF’’) 98-5 and EITF 00-27, the debentures were considered to have an embedded beneficial conversion feature because the effective conversion price was less than the fair value of the Company’s common stock. The debentures were fully convertible at the issuance date, therefore the portion of proceeds allocated to the debentures of $1,295,233 was determined to be the value of the beneficial conversion feature and was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized over the 16-months note term. Additionally, the Company evaluated whether or not the debentures contained embedded conversion options, which meet the definition of derivatives under SFAS 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and related interpretations. The Company concluded that since the debentures have a fixed conversion price of $0.344, the debentures are not a derivative.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the warrants, the Purchasers are entitled to purchase up to 6,345,930 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The warrants have a term of five years after the issue date of November 30, 2007. These warrants were treated as a discount on the debentures and were valued at $887,768 to be amortized over the 16-month debenture term. The fair market value of each stock warrant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model in accordance with SFAS No. 123R using the following weighted-average assumptions: expected dividend yield 0%; risk-free interest rate of 3.41%; volatility of 25% and an expected term of five year.

NOTE 11 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT (continued)

 

Amortization of debt discounts and debt issue costs for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $1,227,938 and $115,110, respectively, which has been included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

 

The Company evaluated whether or not the secured convertible debentures contain embedded conversion options, which meet the definition of derivatives under SFAS 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and related interpretations. The Company concluded that since the secured convertible debentures had a fixed conversion rate of $0.344, the secured convertible debenture was not a derivative instrument. The Company analyzed this provision under EITF 05-04 and, although the debt is unconventional, the reset provision is deemed within the Company’s control and therefore it qualified as equity under EITF 00-19.

 

The Company did not pay the debentures when due pursuant to their terms. Accordingly, under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the debentures, an Event of Default occurred for failure to repay the debt and related interest on the due date. Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and debentures, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which includes the failure to pay the debentures at maturity) the outstanding principal amount of the debenture, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, becomes, at the holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount which is defined in the debentures:

 

 

as the greater of:

 

 

130% of the outstanding principal amount of the debenture, plus 100% of accrued and unpaid interest thereon, or

 

 

the outstanding principal amount of the debenture, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, divided by the conversion price on the date the Mandatory Default Amount is either (i) demanded (if demand or notice is required to create an Event of Default) or otherwise due or paid in full, whichever has a lower Conversion Price, multiplied by the VWAP on the date the Mandatory Default Amount is either (x) demanded or otherwise due or (y) paid in full, whichever has a higher VWAP, and

 

 

All other amounts, costs, expenses and liquidated damages due in respect of the debentures.

 

Commencing five days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of the debentures, the interest rate on the debentures accrues at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.

 

Pursuant to current negotiation with investors, during the nine months ended March 31, 2009, the Company accrued default interest of $218,300 representing 10% of the outstanding principal balance which is management’s estimate of default payments that will be due upon successful negotiation with the investors which management believes is more than likely to occur.

 

The convertible debenture liability is as follows at March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008:

NOTE 13 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (“SFAS 131”), “Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company operated in three reportable business segments - (1) the Construction segment (2) Hotel segment and (3) Real estate development segment. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products. The Company’s reportable segments, although integral to the success of the others, offer distinctly different products and services and require different types of management focus. As such, these segments are managed separately.

NOTE 15 – MAJOR CUSTOMERS & VENDORS (continued)

 

At March 31, 2009, the Company had $11,547,489 of accounts receivable due from its major customers. At June 30, 2008, the Company had $7,573,850 of accounts receivable due from the same customers. Any disruption in the relationships between the Company’s construction segment and one or more of these customers, or any significant variance in the magnitude or the timing of construction projects from any one of these customers, may result in decreases in our results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.

 

The Company uses five to seven subcontractors to perform its construction services and to develop its real estate projects. Management is aware of similar subcontractors that are available to perform construction services if required and management has plans to engage their services if necessary.

 

NOTE 16 – RESTRICTED NET ASSETS

 

Schedule I of Article 5-04 of Regulation S-X requires the condensed financial information of registrant shall be filed when the restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries exceed 25 percent of consolidated net assets as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year. For purposes of the above test, restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries shall mean that amount of the registrant’s proportionate share of net assets of consolidated subsidiaries (after intercompany eliminations) which as of the end of the most recent fiscal year may not be transferred to the parent company by subsidiaries in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends without the consent of a third party (i.e., lender, regulatory agency, foreign government, etc.).

 

The condensed parent company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 12-04, Schedule I of Regulation S-X as the restricted net assets of the subsidiaries of Gold Horse International, Inc. exceed 25% of the consolidated net assets of Gold Horse International, Inc. The ability of our Chinese operating affiliates to pay dividends may be restricted due to the foreign exchange control policies and availability of cash balances of the Chinese operating subsidiaries. Because substantially all of our operations are conducted in China and all of our revenues are generated in China, revenues being earned and currency received are denominated in Renminbi (RMB). RMB is subject to the exchange control regulation in China, and, as a result, we may be unable to distribute any dividends outsides of China due to PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert RMB into US Dollars.

 

The condensed parent company financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting principles and policies described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, with the only exception being that the parent company accounts for its subsidiaries using the equity method. Refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes presented above for additional information and disclosures with respect to these financial statements.

The Company did not have significant capital and other commitments, long-term obligations, or guarantees as of March 31, 2009.

 

NOTE 18 – CONTINGENT LIABILITY

 

As discussed in Note 11, pursuant to current negotiation with investors, during the nine months ended March 31, 2009, the Company accrued default interest of $218,300 representing 10% of the outstanding principal balance which is management’s estimate of default payments that will be due upon successful negotiation with the investors which management believes is more than likely to occur. If the Company pays the principal balance of $2,183,000 prior to December 31, 2009, the 10% penalty will be waved. If the negotiations fail and the Company does not consummate the final agreement, the Company shall be required to pay a penalty equal to 130% of the outstanding principal amount or $654,900.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operation should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

Neither Gold Horse International nor its subsidiaries Gold Horse Nevada, Global Rise or IMTD are engaged in any business or operations other than pursuant to the terms of the various Contractual Arrangements with the Jin Ma Companies as described elsewhere in this report. As such, we are completely dependent on the Contractual Arrangements. We do not generate any revenues and have no assets. Pursuant to the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46R “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, under generally accepted accounting principles the Jin Ma Companies which are deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) we are required to consolidate the financial statements of the Jin Ma Companies with our financial statements. Accordingly, and as described elsewhere in this quarterly report, the assets and liabilities at March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 an 2008 are those of the Jin Ma Companies. All of those assets and operations are located in the PRC and the Contractual Arrangements are subject to enforcement under the laws of the PRC. There are no assurances we will be able to enforce these agreements if necessary. If we are unable to enforce any legal rights we may have under these contracts or otherwise, our ability to continue as a going concern is in jeopardy. In addition, the terms of these contracts expire in August 2016 and there are no assurances these agreements will be renewed. If the Contractual Arrangements are not renewed or are significantly modified, unless we have expanded our business and operations, of which there are no assurances, we will in all likelihood be forced to cease our operations.

 

Default of 10% secured convertible debentures

 

As described later in this section and elsewhere in this report, in November 2007 we issued and sold $2,183,000 principal amount secured convertible debentures which matured on March 31, 2009. We did not pay these debentures when due and they are currently in default. At March 31, 2009 we owed a total of $2,366,522 to the debenture holders which included $2,183,000 of principal, $55,031 of accrued but unpaid interest, and liquidated damages of $128,491. We advanced $1,800,000 of the net proceeds of this offering to the Jin Ma Companies for working capital. In conjunction with the transaction Messrs. Liankuan Yang and Yang Yang and Ms. Runlan Ma, executive e officers and directors of both our company and the Jin Ma Companies, pledged an aggregate of 19,000,000 shares of our common stock owned by them as additional security for our obligations under the debentures.

 

As previously disclosed, the Jin Ma Companies had previously represented to us that they intended to either pay all or a portion of the management fees due us which totaled approximately $11,300,000 at March 31, 2009 and/or repay all or a portion of the amounts advanced to them to ensure that we had sufficient capital to make the interest and principal payments on the 10% secured convertible debentures. Mr. Liankuan Yang, our CEO, is also the CEO and controlling person of the Jin Ma Companies.

 

These amounts, however, were not paid to us which led to the default in the repayment of the debentures. We entered into negotiations with the debenture holders to restructure the payment terms and reached an understanding, subject to the execution of definitive documents, to extend the due date of the debentures and cure the default. This arrangement, which would have resulted in an increase in the amounts due under the debentures as a penalty for our failure to pay the original principal amount at maturity, would have also required us to make principal and interest payments of approximately $382,000 to the debenture holders concurrent with the execution of the definitive agreement. The source of the funds for these repayments was a repayment to us by the Jin Ma Companies of a portion of the amounts owed our company. To date, however, we have been unable to consummate this restructure. Cash on deposit in China is subject to the regulations of the PRC which restricts the transfer of cash from that country, except under certain specific circumstances. These currency laws have served to hinder Mr. Yang’s and the Jin Ma Companies’ ability to provide the funds to us necessary to restructure the debenture terms.

 

37



Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and debentures, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which includes the failure to pay the debentures at maturity) the outstanding principal amount of the debenture, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, becomes, at the holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount which is defined in the debentures:

 

 

as the greater of:

 

 

130% of the outstanding principal amount of the debenture, plus 100% of accrued and unpaid interest thereon, or

 

 

the outstanding principal amount of the debenture, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, divided by the conversion price on the date the Mandatory Default Amount is either (i) demanded (if demand or notice is required to create an Event of Default) or otherwise due or paid in full, whichever has a lower Conversion Price, multiplied by the VWAP on the date the Mandatory Default Amount is either (x) demanded or otherwise due or (y) paid in full, whichever has a higher VWAP, and

 

 

all other amounts, costs, expenses and liquidated damages due in respect of the debentures.

 

Commencing five days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of the debentures, the interest rate on the debentures accrues at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.

 

As of the date of this report the debenture holders have not made a formal demand for payment under the terms of the debentures, nor have they taken any actions to foreclose on the collateral pledged to secure the obligations. If the Jin Ma Companies are able to repay us a portion of the amounts due us we intend to use our best efforts to consummate a transaction with the debenture holders to restructure these obligations. However, we have no agreement or understanding with the debenture holders that the terms of the restructure are still acceptable to them. If the debenture holders should be unwilling to consummate the restructure, it is likely that the debenture holders will institute legal proceedings against us to collect the amounts due under the debentures and to foreclose on the pledged collateral. Unless the Jin Ma Companies pay us the amounts due us we do not have the funds necessary to satisfy our obligations to the debenture holders. If the debenture holders successfully foreclose on the pledged collateral that would result in a change of control of our company as those securities represent approximately 36% of our outstanding common stock. The occurrence of any of these events would be materially adverse to our ability to continue as a going concern and investors could lose their entire investment in our company.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and present the financial statements of the Company and our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries including VIEs for which we are the primary beneficiary.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gold Horse International and our wholly owned subsidiaries Gold Horse Nevada and Global Rise, and our variable interest entities Jin Ma Construction, Jin Ma Hotel and Jin Ma Real Estate. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

38



We have 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 VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns. VIEs are those entities in which we, through contractual arrangements, bear the risks of, and enjoy the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entities, and therefore we are the primary beneficiary of these entities.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. If actual results significantly differ from management’s estimates, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially, adversely impacted. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in 2009 and 2008 include the allowance for doubtful accounts and the useful life of property and equipment, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings.

 

Accounts and other receivables

 

We have a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We periodically review our accounts receivable and other receivables to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

 

Prior to the time when the Jin Ma Companies financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting policies, the Jin Ma Companies did not record reserves for uncollectable accounts. Following the Contractual Arrangements, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting policies we initially estimated reserves based solely upon the age of the receivable as a historical basis by which the collectability could be reasonably estimated did not exist. In fiscal 2007 and 2008 the Jin Ma Companies bad debt expense related to its accounts receivable and other receivables was approximately $531,000 and approximately $295,000, respectively. Subsequently, a portion of those receivables have been collected. As a basis for accurately estimating the likelihood of collection has been established, the Jin Ma Companies consider a number of factors when determining reserves for uncollectable accounts. We believe that we use a reasonably reliable methodology to estimate the collectability of the Jin Ma Companies accounts receivable and other receivables. We review our allowances for doubtful accounts on at least a quarterly basis. We also consider whether the historical economic conditions are comparable to current economic conditions. If the financial condition of our customers or other parties that we have business relations with were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Should we become unable to reasonably estimate the collectability of our receivables, our results of operations could be negatively impacted. At March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, the Company has established, based on a review of its outstanding accounts receivable balances, an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $890,683 and $1,025,431, respectively, on its total accounts receivable.

 

Other receivables amounts were primarily related to advances made to various vendor, subcontractors, and other parties in the normal course of business and the allowance was established when those parties deemed to be unlikely to repay the amounts. At March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, the Company has established, based on a review of its outstanding other receivable balances, an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $739,297 and $883,875, respectively. The significant allowance for doubtful accounts for the Company’s outstanding other receivables was recorded in fiscal 2007 after the Company made several attempts to collect and significant other receivable amounts were still outstanding for a extended period of time. Management is still attempting to collect these other receivables and has not yet netted the other receivable balance against the specific allowance. At such time as management exhausts all collection efforts, the other receivable balance will be netted against the allowance account.

 

39



Inventories

 

Inventories, consisting of construction materials and consumable goods related to our operations are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out method.

 

Real estate held for sale

 

We capitalize as real estate held for sale the direct construction and development costs, property taxes, interest incurred on costs related to land under development and other related costs (i.e. engineering, surveying, landscaping, etc.) until the property reaches its intended use. At March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, real estate held for sale amounted to $0 and $125,070, respectively.

 

Advances from customers

 

Advances from customers at March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008 of $311,997 and $192,356, respectively, consist of prepayments from third party customers to the Company for construction and real estate transactions to ensure sufficient funds are available to complete the real estate and construction projects. The Company will recognize the deposits as revenue upon transfer of title to the buyer, in compliance with its revenue recognition policy.

 

Construction in process

 

Properties currently under development are accounted for as construction-in-process. Construction-in-process is recorded at acquisition cost, including land use rights cost, development expenditure, professional fees and the interest expenses capitalized during the course of construction for the purpose of financing the project. Upon completion and readiness for use of the project, the cost of construction-in-progress is to be transferred to an appropriate asset such as real estate held for sale. Construction in progress is valued at the lower of cost or market. Management evaluates the market value of its properties on a periodic basis for impairment. As of March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, construction in process amounted to $5,091,074 and $4,537,240, respectively.

 

Revenue recognition

 

We follow the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenues streams of the Company:

 

Real estate sales which primarily involve the sale of multi-family units and community environments are reported in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”. Generally, profits from the sale of development properties, less 5% business tax, are recognized by the full accrual method when the sale is consummated. A sale is not considered consummated until (1) the parties are bound by the terms of a contract, (2) all consideration has been exchanged, (3) any permanent financing of which the seller is responsible has been arranged, (4) all conditions precedent to closing have been performed, (5) the seller does not have substantial continuing involvement with the property, and (6) the usual risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. In November 2007, Jin Ma Real Estate entered into an agreement to construct new dormitories for the Inner Mongolia Electrical Vocational Technical School (“Vocational School”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Jin Ma Real Estate constructed the buildings and, upon completion, pursuant to a sale-type capital lease, leased the buildings to the Inner Mongolia Electrical Vocational Technical School and will receive payments for a period of 26 years at an amount of 4,800,000 RMB or approximately $700,000 per annum. In November 2008, the Company completed the construction and in December 2008, Jin Ma Real Estate received the first payment of 4,800,000 RMB. Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, for accounting purposes, we treat the transaction as a sales type capital lease and record the amount which will be paid to us over the next 26 years as a note receivable. As payments are made to us under this note receivable we reduce the principal amount of note receivable due us and we will recognize interest income using the effective interest method. We allocated the first payment received in December 2008 as follows:

 

40



Amount applied to principal balance of note receivable

$      149,495

Interest income recognized on statement of income

550,920

Total payment received

$      700,415

 

In accordance with FAS 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”, any gain from sales-type capital lease was deferred because the minimum initial investment by the buyer was less than the required 20% initial investment expressed as a percentage of the sales value (FAS 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”, paragraph 54). Therefore the deferred gain will be recognized into income using the installment method as payments are received. The installment method apportions each cash receipt and principal payment by the buyer between cost recovered and profit. The apportionment is in the same ratio as total cost and total profit bear to the sales value. Accordingly, revenue and cost of sales is recognized based on this apportionment and are presented on the income statement. Since the agreement did not have a stated interest rate, the Company used an imputed interest rate of interest of 6.12%. Principal and the related imputed interest are receivable annually at approximately $700,000 per year. As March 31, 2009, the remaining deferred gain of $50,939 is reflected as a reduction to the note receivable in the accompanying balance sheet. The recorded imputed interest discount will be realized as the balances due are collected. In the event of early liquidation, interest is recognized on the simple interest method.

 

Revenue from the performance of general contracting, construction management and design-building services is recognized upon completion of the service.

 

Revenue primarily derived from hotel operations, including the rental of rooms and food and beverage sales, is recognized when rooms are occupied and services have been rendered.

 

In accounting for long-term engineering and construction-type contracts, we follow the provisions of the AICPA’s Statement of Position 81-1 -Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts. The Company recognizes revenues using the percentage of completion method of accounting by relating contract costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion. Contract price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as work progresses and adjustments proportionate to the percentage of completion are reflected in contract revenues and gross profit in the reporting period when such estimates are revised. This method of revenue recognition requires the Company to prepare estimates of costs to complete contracts in progress. In making such estimates, judgments are required to evaluate contingencies such as potential variances in schedule, the cost of materials and labor, and productivity; and the impact of change orders, liability claims, contract disputes, and achievement of contractual performance standards which may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. The asset, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings,” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings,” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized. We believe that this methodology is reasonably reliable to estimate our costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings. Historically, our estimates have been accurate. Changes to the actual cost of material and labor, liability claims, contract disputes, and achievement of contractual performance standards may result in additional costs being recorded. If actual costs are greater than estimated costs, our revenues would be understated and if actual costs are less than estimated costs, our revenues would be overstated. These factors could cause our revenues to vary from period to period.

 

Warranty policy  

 

In accordance with SFAS 5, the Company estimates its liabilities for construction defect, product liability and related warranty claims based on the possible claim amounts resulting from injury or damage caused by its construction defect and expected material and labor costs to provide warranty replacement products. The methodology used in determining the liability is based upon historical information and experience. Based on historical experience, there possible clams made for construction defects and the warranty service calls and any related labor material costs have been minimal. As such, the warranty provision amounts for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were immaterial.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) may have an impact on accounting for future business combinations once adopted.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We have not determined the effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on our financial statements.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 161 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt FSP APB 14-1 on July 1, 2009, and this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on our condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We do not expect SFAS No. 162 to have a material impact on the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

On June 16, 2008, the FASB issued final Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,” to address the question of whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting. The FSP determines that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to dividend payments should be included in earnings per share calculations. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the requirements of (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1 as well as the impact of the adoption will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

42



In June 2008, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-5”). EITF 07-5 mandates a two-step process for evaluating whether an equity-linked financial instrument or embedded feature is indexed to the entity’s own stock. Warrants that a company issues that contain a strike price adjustment feature, upon the adoption of EITF 07-5, are no longer being considered indexed to the company’s own stock. Accordingly, adoption of EITF 07-5 will change the current classification (from equity to liability) and the related accounting for such warrants outstanding at that date. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of EITF 07-5 will have on our financial statement presentation and disclosures.

 

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, “Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities” (“FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8”). FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 amends FAS 140 and FIN 46(R) to require additional disclosures regarding transfers of financial assets and interest in variable interest entities. FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 is effective for interim or annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 will not have an impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Jin Ma Construction was recently awarded the Lanyu Garden Number 3 residential building project, which covers a construction area of 28,000 square meters. It began the Lanyu project in October 2008 and expects to complete it in December 2009. Jin Ma Construction was also awarded The Fu Xing Committee Bath Center project, with estimated revenues amounting to RMB 165.8 million ($24.2 million) and an estimated gross profit of approximately $4,500,000, contains one building with a construction area of 46,054 square meters. It began the Fu Xing project in November 2008 and expects to complete the project in August 2009.

 

Jin Ma Construction also began construction of the second phase of the Ai Bo Garden residential apartment after successfully completing the first phase in November 2008. With estimated revenues of RMB 128.4 million ($18.8 million) and estimated gross profit of $3,500,000, this project contains nine buildings with a construction area of 116,700 square meters. Jin Ma Construction expects to complete this project in June 2009.

 

We expect that revenues from the construction segment will continue to generate the majority of revenue in fiscal 2009.

Revenues for Jin Ma Hotel’s operations increased approximately 11.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from the nine months ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to increased sales for the restaurant. Excluding the effect of the favorable foreign currency exchange rate, revenues from our hotel operations increase approximately 3.6%. As China has also been impacted by the current global economy downturn, potential visitors to the Jin Ma Hotel might have less disposable income to spend on leisure activities which in turn will limit its future growth and reduce its profitability.

 

Revenues for Jin Ma Real Estate’s development operation decreased approximately 75.5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 to the nine months ended March 31, 2008 due to a lack of inventory of apartment units available for sale. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, following the effect date of the PRC Property Right Law in October 2007 which impacted the method by which Jin Ma Real Estate could obtain land use rights to build additional residential projects coupled with a softening in the residential real estate market, Jin Ma Real Estate put more of its focus on completing the two school projects. Accordingly, it has sold all remaining units available for sale in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 which impacted its revenues. Accordingly, we do not presently anticipate that Jin Ma Real Estate will generate any revenues from its historical real estate development operations in future periods.

 

In November 2007, Jin Ma Real Estate entered into an agreement to construct new dormitories for the Inner Mongolia Electrical Vocational Technical School. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Jin Ma Real Estate constructed the buildings and, upon completion, pursuant to a sale-type capital lease, leased the buildings to the Inner Mongolia Electrical Vocational Technical School and it will receive payments for a period of 26 years at an amount of 4,800,000 RMB or approximately $700,000 per annum. Since Jin Ma Real Estate does not have any construction licenses, Jin Ma Construction performed all of the construction services on behalf of Jin Ma Real Estate. This project was completed in November 2008 and received the first annual payment in December 2008. Additionally, Jin Ma Real Estate and Jin Ma Construction are responsible for the cost of construction of student apartments for the Inner Mongolia Chemistry College situated in Inner Mongolia University City, a compound where many higher education institutions are located. Jin Ma Construction is performing all of the construction services on behalf of Jin Ma Real Estate for this project as well. Once completed, Jin Ma Real Estate will lease the buildings to the college for a period of 20 years pursuant to a sale-type capital lease. The cost of construction is estimated to be RMB 50 million ($7.4 million). Upon completion, Jin Ma Real Estate will receive an annual payment of RMB 7 million (approximately $1 million) for 20 years. Jin Ma Construction began developing the 51,037 square-meter project in July 2008 and expects to complete the project in August 2009. Through March 31, 2009, the Jin Ma Companies have invested approximately $1.4 million in this project. Currently, the JinMa Companies have no plans to continue this business model for its real estate segment due to its capital intensive requirements and in future periods it will recognize revenues, cost of sales and the related gross profit as payments are received based on the installment method.

 

In 2008, in accordance with the overall arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council of China to tightening monetary policy, the People’s Bank of China (“PBC”) raised the reserve requirements for RMB deposits of depository institutions and increased loan interest rates several times. The higher reserve requirements and loan interest rates make it more difficult for builders to obtain construction loans in China. This economic event will likely impact both the Company and its customers. Although Jin Ma Construction’s operations were not impacted in 2008, as a result of the tightened monetary policy in China, construction progress might be delayed on current projects and new projects might be deferred as its customers might have problems receiving funding. Accordingly, Jin Ma Construction’s future revenues may decline, although it is not able to quantify any anticipated amount of decline. In addition, as a portion of its operating expenses are fixed, if Jin Ma Construction’s revenues do decrease, it does not expect to have significant decrease in its operating costs which will adversely impact the profit of in Jin Ma Construction in future periods. In September 2008, in an effort to solve prominent problems in China economy, the PBC decided to cut the benchmark lending rate by 0.27 percentage points and lowered the RMB reserve requirement ratio by one percentage point for most depository financial institutions. The rate cut in September 2008 was not significant enough to materially impact Jin Ma Construction’s operations as the rate cut has not increased the number of the local banks and credit unions giving loans. We cannot predict if the PBC will continue to lower the rates and reserve requirements which in turn will improve the overall performance for the construction industry as it will be easier for construction companies to obtain capital funding. If Jin Ma Construction cannot obtain necessary bank loans, it will need to delay some of its future projects. Jin Ma Construction’s customers mainly consist of governmental agencies and third party developers. It does not believe that governmental agencies have been impacted by the tightening credit markets and will continue investing in development projects. Jin Ma Construction is currently bidding on several projects with governmental agencies and third-party developers. Although it is confident that it will secure several new construction projects in the near future, it cannot predict with certainty the outcome of securing these jobs.

Cost of Sales. Overall, cost of sales increased from approximately 79.8% of net revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, to approximately 84.2% of net revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues from JinMa Construction for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 increased to approximately 85.9% from approximately 84.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The slight increase in cost of sales from in the construction segment was partly attributable to increases in costs for building supplies and labor costs incurred on projects. While material and labor costs worldwide are on the rise, Jin Ma Construction anticipates minimal direct impact on its business because of its ability to factor in rising material costs into its budgets when selecting subcontractors. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues for Jin Ma Hotel’s operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 decreased to approximately 53.4% from approximately 56.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. This decrease in cost of sales was primarily attributable to a slight decrease in food and beverage costs. Cost of sales for Jin Ma Real Estate development segment as a percentage of net revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 increased to approximately 78.6% from approximately 53.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 due to a decrease in the sale price per unit to reflect the sell-off of all remaining units available for sale as well as the slight gross margin of approximately 1% the Jin Ma Companies recognized on the Vocational School project.

 

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased approximately 88.8% from $4,333,942 (20.2% of overall net revenues) for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 to $8,180,791 (15.8% of overall net revenues) for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.

 

Operating Expenses. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, overall operating expenses decreased approximately 32.4% from the nine months ended March 31, 2008. This decrease was mainly due to the recording of a one-time gain from bad debt recovery related to the collection of previously written off accounts receivable, a slight decrease in general and administrative expense and a decrease in hotel operating expenses offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits and depreciation and amortization expense as discussed below.

 

Hotel Operating Expenses. Hotel operating expense, represent costs and expenses associated with operating Jin Ma Hotel’s restaurant and banquet facilities and hotel operating expenses except for food and beverage costs which have been included in cost of revenues. Hotel operating expenses decreased approximately 42.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Hotel operating expenses were approximately 1.7% of hotel revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to approximately 3.2% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 period is primarily attributable to a reduction in operating costs from period to period.

 

Bad Debt Expense. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, bad debt recovery income amounted to $171,351 as compared to bad debt expense of $796,875 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of approximately 121.5%. We have a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts and other receivables. We periodically review our accounts receivable and other receivables to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Jin Ma Companies periodically review its credit policies and are aggressively pursuing overdue accounts. Accordingly, the Jin Ma Companies bad debt allowance decreased during the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2008 since we collected balances previously written off. We cannot guarantee that the Jin Ma Companies bad debt expenses will continue to decrease as China government tightened its monetary policy, some of its customers might begin experiences difficulties in obtaining the necessary capital funding to repay their outstanding receivables.

 

Salaries and Employee Benefits. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, salaries and employee benefits amounted to $579,895 as compared to $550,262 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of approximately 5.4% and related to an increase in bonuses given out during the Chinese spring festival to encourage employee loyalty.

 

Depreciation and Amortization. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, depreciation and amortization increased approximately 78.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same period 2008. This increase was primarily due to the depreciation of construction equipment of approximately $5,800,000, which primarily included cranes and other heavy equipment, together with approximately $200,000 of additional vehicles purchased during fiscal 2008.

 

46



General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist of office expenses and supplies, utilities, insurance, telephone and communications, maintenance and automobile expense incurred by the Jin Ma Companies as well as expenses incurred by us which primarily consist of professional and other fees. General and administrative expenses decreased by $10,158 or approximately 2.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in professional fees of $46,417 offset by an increase of $36,259 in other general and administrative expenses which was primarily attributable to an increase in amortization of land use rights of $32,725.

 

Total Other Expenses. Total other expenses increased approximately 84.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The increase is primarily attributable to a increase in interest expense of approximately $1,367,377 primarily attributable to an increase of interest incurred on additional borrowings of $280,910, the accrual of a 10% penalty of $218,300 related to the default provision for non-payment of the convertible debt on the due date, amortization of non-cash debt discount and debt issuance costs of $746,138 related to our 10% convertible secured convertible debentures. These increases were offset by an increase of other income of $4,079, a decrease in registration right penalty of $55,000, and an increase in interest income of approximately $552,000 attributable to the recording of imputed interest income on a note receivable from the sale of the Vocational School project.

 

Provision for Income Taxes. Total provision for income taxes increased approximately 100.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 (35% of income before income taxes) from the nine months ended March 31, 2008 (69.2% of income before income taxes). The increase is attributable to an increase in income before income taxes. The decrease in income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes was attributable to the decrease in the statutory PRC income rate from 33% to 25% on January 1, 2008.

 

Net Income. Net income increased approximately 738.0% from the nine months ended March 31, 2008 to the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The increase for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2008 was due primarily to an increase in revenue and related gross profits and the decrease in operating expenses offset by an increase in interest expense and income taxes. This translates to basic earnings per common share of $0.06 and $0.01, and diluted earnings per common share of $0.05and $0.01, for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

 

Comprehensive Income. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009 we reported unrealized gain on foreign currency translation of $93,659 as compared to $1,173,805 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 which reflects the effect of the declining value of the U.S. dollar. These gains are non-cash items. As described elsewhere herein, our functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi; however the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions, if any, are included in the consolidated statements of income and do not have a significant effect on our financial statements. As a result of this non-cash foreign currency translation gain, we reported comprehensive income of $3,380,774 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $1,566,074 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008.

Net Revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, our overall net revenues increased 102.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from the three months ended March 31, 2008. As with the increase in revenues in the nine month period, the increase in revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2009 from the comparable period in 2008 was mainly due to increased activity in construction operations which are summarized as follows:

Net revenues for JinMa hotel’s operations increased slightly from $766,158 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $922,826 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $156,668 or 20.4%, primarily due to a favorable foreign currency exchange rate used to converts RMB to U.S dollars.

 

Net revenues for Jin Ma Real Estate’s development operation decreased from $304,755 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $362 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $304,393 or 99.9% due to a lack of inventory of apartment units available for sale. Its revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 related to the Inner Mongolia Electrical Vocational Technical School Jin Ma Real Estate as discussed above.

 

Cost of Sales. Overall, cost of sales increased from approximately 80.1% of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008, to approximately 82.3% of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues from JinMa Construction’s operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased to approximately 85.7% from approximately 85.9 % for three months ended March 31, 2008. The slight increase in cost of sales from construction operations was partly attributable to increases in costs for building supplies and labor costs incurred on its projects as described above. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues for Jin Ma Hotel’s operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 decreased to approximately 51.3% from approximately 59.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 which was primarily attributable to a slight decrease in food and beverage costs. Cost of sales for Jin Ma Real Estate’s development operation as a percentage of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased to approximately 78.5% from approximately 64.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 due to change in exchange rate.

 

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased approximately 80.4% from $914,718 (19.9% of overall net revenues) for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $1,650,351 (17.7% of overall net revenues) for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

 

Operating Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, overall operating expenses decreased approximately 39.3% from the three months ended March 31, 2008. This decrease was mainly due to the recording of an increase in depreciation expense and salaries and employee benefits offset by a decrease in bad debt expense, general and administrative expenses and hotel operating expenses, as discussed below.

 

Hotel Operating Expenses. Hotel operating expenses decreased approximately 42.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from the three months ended March 31, 2008. Hotel operating expenses were approximately 1.2% of hotel revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to approximately 2.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2009 period is primarily attributable to a reduction in operating costs from period to period.

 

Bad Debt Expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, bad debt expense amounted to $22,550 as compared to bad debt expense of $489,184 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of approximately 95.4%.

 

Salaries and Employee Benefits. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, salaries and employee benefits amounted to $278,047 as compared to 231,764 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of approximately 20.0% due to the payment of Spring festival bonuses to employees.

 

Depreciation and Amortization. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, depreciation and amortization increased approximately 53.1% as compared to the same period 2008. This increase was primarily due to the depreciation of construction equipment of approximately $5,800,000, which primarily included cranes and other heavy equipment, together with approximately $200,000 of additional vehicles purchased during fiscal 2008.

 

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased by $20,910 or approximately 24.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in professional fees of $11,413 related to a decrease in legal fees associated with our private placement in December 2008 offset by an increase of $53,021 in other general and administrative expenses which included an increase in amortization of land use rights and of approximately $6,200, utility expense of $8,200 and other expenses of $38,000.

 

49



Total Other Expenses. Total other expenses increased 44.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense of $323,556 attributable to an increase in amortization of non-cash debt discount and debt issuance costs of $889,529 offset by an decrease in interest income of $4,433 attributable to the recording of imputed interest income on a note receivable from the sale of the Vocational School project of approximately $550,000, decrease of $55,000 in registration rights penalty and an increase in other income of $29.

 

Provision for Income Taxes. Total provision for income taxes increased approximately 78.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 (149.3% of income before income taxes) from the three months ended March 31, 2008 ((22.6%) of income before income taxes). The increase is attributable to an increase in income before income taxes. The decrease in income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes was attributable to the decrease in the statutory PRC income rate from 33% to 25% on January 1, 2008.

 

Net Income or Loss. Net loss decreased approximately 89.1% from the three months ended March 31, 2008 to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 was due primarily to an increase in revenue and related gross profits and the decrease in operating expenses offset by an increase in other expense and income taxes. This translates to a basic and diluted loss per common share of $0.00 and $0.02 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

 

Comprehensive Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 we reported unrealized gain on foreign currency translation of $29,935 as compared to $615,780 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 which reflects the effect of the declining value of the U.S. dollar. As a result of this non-cash foreign currency translation gain, we reported comprehensive loss of $58,145 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $196,009 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash.

 

At March 31, 2009, we had a cash balance of $190,211, substantially all of which is located in financial institutions in China under the control of the Jin Ma Companies.

 

Our working capital position decreased $4,373,480 to $9,075,442 at March 31, 2009 from $13,448,922 at June 30, 2008. This decrease in working capital is primarily attributable to:

 

 

an increase in accounts receivable of $4,414,577,

 

an increase of construction in progress of $553,834,

 

an increase of note receivable of $158,818, and

 

a decrease in taxes payable of $1,727,930

 

Offset by:

 

 

a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $1,447,775,

 

a decrease in due from related party of $1,683,208,

 

a decrease in deposit on prepaid land use rights of $852,203,

 

an increase of convertible debt of $1,227,938 due to the amortization of debt discount,

 

an increase of accounts payable $3,480,288, and

 

an increase of current loans payable $1,352,667.

 

50



Our balance sheet at March 31, 2009, reflects notes payable to third parties of $4,799,580 due through September 2012 which were working capital loans made to us by these third parties. These loans bear annual interest rates ranging from 13.24% to 18% and are due between August 2009 and September 2012. Of this amount, approximately $2,900,000 is secured by the assets of the Jin Ma Hotel and the remaining balances are unsecured. Additionally, we have a convertible debt of $2,183,000 that was due in March 2009. This debt bears an annual interest rate of 10% and is secured by 19,000,000 shares of our common stock owned by Mr. Liankuan Yang, Ms. Runlan Ma and Ms. Yang Yang, officers and directors of our company. As described below, we did not repay the convertible debt when it became due. .

 

Our balance sheet at March 31, 2009 reflects a due from related parties of $16,828 which represents advances to a related party for working capital. These advances could also be deemed to be in violation of Section 402 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 which prohibits a public company from extending or maintaining credit or arranging for the extension of credit in the form of a “personal loan” to an officer or director. If it is determined that these working capital advances violated Section 402 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, we could become subject to SEC investigations and/or litigation, which may not be resolved favorably and will require significant management time and attention, and we could incur costs, which could negatively affect our business, results of operations and cash flows. We expect to receive repayment of this remaining balance during the three months ending June 30, 2009.

 

As disclosed elsewhere herein, during the nine months ended March 31, 2009, four construction customers accounted for approximately 95.8% of Jin Ma Construction’s revenue. The nature of Jin Ma Construction’s business is that at any given time it will have a concentration of significant customer depending upon the number and scope of construction projects. These significant customers may not be the same from period to period depending upon the percentage of completion of the specific projects. Any disruption in the relationships between Jin Ma Construction and one or more of these customers, or any significant variance in the magnitude or the timing of construction projects from any one of these customers, may result in decreases in our results of operations, liquidity and cash flows. In addition, if Jin Ma Construction does not successfully manage its business so that it has new projects ready to start as current projects are completed its revenues will decline which will materially adversely impact our liquidity and operations in future periods.

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash flow used in operating activities was $5,644,976 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $621,580 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $6,266,556. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, net cash flow used in operating activities was primarily due to by an increase in accounts receivable of $4,247,794, an increase in construction in progress of $9,495,098, and a decrease in taxes payable of $1,736,158 offset by net income of $3,287,115, the add back of non-cash items such as interest expense from amortization of debt discount of $1,227,938 and depreciation expense of $644,927, an increase of $174,040 in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, an increase of note receivable of $200,568, and an increase of $3,853,331 in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $621,580 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. This was primarily due to our net income of $392,269, add add-back of non-cash items such as depreciation of $362,126, bad debt expense of $796,875, stock-based compensation of $156,680, interest expense from amortization of debt discount of $545,750, a decrease in real estate held for sale of $815,288, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,698,293, offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $647,734, an increase in cash used to fund construction in process of $2,719,216, the payment of taxes payable of $346,164, a decrease in advances from customers of $433,432, and an increase in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings of $122,978.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash flow provided by investing activities was $3,921,364 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to cash used in investing activities of $3,160,851 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, cash provided by investing activities consisted of cash provided by repayment of amounts due from related party of $1,689,469 and cash received from the return of deposit on prepaid land use rights of $2,249,295 offset by $17,400 cash used for purchase of property and equipment. For the nine months ended March 31, 2008, cash used in investing activities consisted of cash used for the purchase of property and equipment of $1,900,345, $854,866 which included heavy equipment for the construction segment and the payments of a deposit on land use rights of $1,351,923, offset by an increase in due from related parties of $83,424.

 

51



Financing Activities

 

Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $264,058 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 which was attributable to proceeds from sale of common stock of $118,000 and proceeds from loans of $146,058. Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $4,202,927 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 which was primarily attributable to proceeds received from the sale of our common stock of $2,219,252, net proceeds from convertible debt of $2,183,000, and capital contributions of $140,507 offset by the repayment of loans of $135,192 and the payment of placement fees of $204,640.

 

Other than our existing cash we presently have no other alternative source of working capital. We have no operations other than the Contractual Arrangements with the Jin Ma Companies and, accordingly, we are dependent upon the quarterly service fees due us to or for the receipt of working capital from the Jin Ma Companies to provide cash to pay our operating expenses. To date, no quarterly service fees have been tendered to us and those funds are being retained by the Jin Ma Companies to fund their operations. At March 31, 2009 we were owed $11,300,000 in service fees, which such amount remains outstanding as of the date of this report. In addition, we transferred $1,800,000 of the net proceeds from the November 2007 sale of the 10% secured convertible debentures to the Jin Ma Companies in the form of an unsecured, interest free advance for use by the Jin Ma Companies in their operations and to fund their registered capital requirements under PRC wholly-owned foreign enterprise rules. This amount remains outstanding and we do not have an understanding with the Jin Ma Companies regarding the repayment of the amounts advanced to that company.

 

Our CEO is also the CEO and principal shareholder of the Jin Ma Companies. Accordingly, we are solely reliant upon his judgment to ensure that quarterly services fees are paid and that the funds advanced to the Jin Ma Companies are repaid to us. The Jin Ma Companies had previously represented to us that they intended to either pay all or a portion of the fees due us and/or repay all or a portion of the amounts advanced to them to ensure that we had sufficient capital to make the interest and principal payments on the 10% secured convertible debentures. The interest payments are due quarterly and the principal in the aggregate amount of $2,183,000 was due in March 2009. The Jin Ma Companies, however, did not pay such amounts and, accordingly, we were unable to pay the debentures when they become due on March 31, 2009. As described earlier in this section, under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and debentures, and Event of Default occurred as a result of our failure to timely pay the principal and interest on the debentures. These amounts remain outstanding as of the filing date of this report.

 

We continue to be reliant on the Jin Ma Companies to pay the service fees due us and/or to repay all or a portion of the funds advanced to the Jin Ma Companies. Even if the Jin Ma Companies pay all the past due amounts to us, it is possible that the Jin Ma Companies will continue to fail to timely pay our management fees. If the quarterly service fees due us under the Contractual Arrangement are not paid to us on a timely basis, it is possible that we will not have sufficient funds to pay our operating expenses in future periods, our ability to continue as a going concern is in jeopardy and investors could lose their entire investment in our company.

 

The Jin Ma Companies have historically funded their capital expenditures and ongoing development projects from their working capital. The Jin Ma Companies intend to meet their liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures related to the purchase of land for the development of our future projects, through cash flow provided by operations and additional funds raised by future financings. Upon acquiring land for future development, the Jin Ma Companies will need to raise funds to develop their projects by obtaining mortgage financing from local banking institutions with which it has done business in the past. As the PRC raised the reserve requirements for RMB deposits of depository institutions and increased loan interest rates several times in 2008, which will result in stricter bank loan qualification and longer approval time, Jin Ma Companies expect some of its customers might have problems obtaining necessary capital to make payments and/or start new projects with Jin Ma Companies in 2009. As a result, Jin Ma Companies’ ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet their obligations and fund operations could be negatively impacted. Additionally, Jin Ma Companies might also face increased scrutiny when securing loans for working capital purposes. The Jin Ma Companies believe that adequate cash flow will be available to fund its historic operations.

On May 8, 2008 Jin Ma Construction signed an agreement to form a joint venture with two development stage companies, Erlianhaote Hengyuan Wind Power Company, Ltd. and Inner Mongolia Inner Mongolia Tianwei Wind Power Equipment Company, Ltd.. Under the agreement, Jin Ma Construction is proposing to invest approximately $100 million (RMB 700 million) which will be used to construct a wind power plant and as capital to fund the construction of a manufacturing facility to build wind power generator modules to be used at the wind power plant. It is anticipated that Jin Ma Construction will own 60% of these new entities. Additional capital investments are intended to be made by all parties based upon a 60%/40% relationships. As of the date of this report, the Jin Ma Companies have not made any capital investments into the wind power project. According to the signed wind power project agreement, the Jin Ma Companies will only be obligated to make capital investments after the government has approved the two wind power companies to change their business licenses, patent certificate, registered trademark certificate with property rights, and other related documents to include the Jin Ma Companies as a 60% owner of the two wind power companies. The two wind power companies have not met the criteria to transfer the related certificates and documents mentioned above to include the Jin Ma Companies as required. As a result, the Jin Ma Companies are not presently obligated to make any of the investment.

 

In addition to the satisfaction of these contractual commitments, Jin Ma Construction’s ability to proceed with the proposed joint venture is subject to its raising the capital necessary to fund the project. As described elsewhere herein, the ability of the Jin Ma Companies to raise capital is somewhat limited and the debentures contain certain contractual restrictions on our ability to raise additional debt financing. As a result, the Jin Ma Companies have not been successful in its efforts to raise the necessary capital to proceed with this project once the contractual commitments have been satisfied. There are no assurances the Jin Ma Companies will be able to raise the necessary capital and, if necessary capital cannot be raised in the future, it is likely that it will terminate this project.

 

No assurances can be given that we will be successful in obtaining additional capital, or that such capital will be available in terms acceptable to our company. Even if we are successful in raising additional capital, it is likely that the terms of such capital will be dilutive to our existing shareholders. If we are not able to assist the Jin Ma Companies in their capital needs, it is unlikely that our revenues will grow beyond current levels.

 

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Jin Ma Real Estate guarantees a customer’s mortgage until the home and the title of ownership are delivered to the customer. If a property buyer defaults under the loan, Jin Ma Real Estate is required, during the guarantee period, to repay all debt owed by the defaulting property buyer to the mortgage bank. Jin Ma Real Estate’s liability for guarantor’s obligation is valued based on the actual outstanding mortgage amount at each reporting period. For the nine months ended marc h31, 2009 and 2008, the liability for guarantor’s obligation was not material.

 

We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

ther indebtedness includes long-term loans borrowed from individuals and credit unions.

 

We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures. Other than working capital and loans, we presently have no other alternative source of working capital. We need working capital to fund our construction and real estate projects. We may not have sufficient working capital to fund new construction projects line as well as providing working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. We may need to raise additional working capital to complete these projects. We may seek to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in obtaining additional capital, or that such capital will be available in terms acceptable to our company. At this time, we have no commitments or plans to obtain additional capital.

 

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as stockholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our condensed 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. 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 or hedging services with us.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of March 31, 2009, the end of the period covered by this report, our management concluded its evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC rules and regulations, and to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

54



Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

As of the evaluation date, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that we do not maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC rules and regulations, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In May 2008 we were required to restate our financial statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008 to correct an accounting error to properly reflect the accounting for a certain construction project that Jin Ma Construction is currently constructing. We originally recorded this project as a third-party construction project pursuant to our normal revenue recognition policies. However, because Jin Ma Real Estate is a party to an agreement to sell these buildings to a third party and will received annual payments for a period of 26 years, we have subsequently determined that the proper accounting for this construction project should have been to reflect the costs incurred to date a construction ion process as part of our property and equipment and to eliminate any revenues, cost of sales and related gross profit. This control deficiency in our ability to properly record construction in progress is a material weakness in both our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting. While we have taken certain remedial steps to correct these control deficiencies, we have an inadequate number personnel in China with the requisite expertise in generally accepted accounting principles to ensure the proper application thereof. Due to the nature of these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, there is more than a remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to our annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 3.

Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

 

As described later in this section and elsewhere in this report, in November 2007 we issued and sold $2,183,000 principal amount secured convertible debentures which matured on March 31, 2009. We did not pay these debentures when due and they are currently in default. At March 31, 2009 we owed a total of $2,366,522 to the debenture holders which included $2,183,000 of principal, $55,031 of accrued but unpaid interest, and liquidated damages of $128,491. We advanced $1,800,000 of the net proceeds of this offering to the Jin Ma Companies for working capital. In conjunction with the transaction Messrs. Liankuan Yang and Yang Yang and Ms. Runlan Ma, executive e officers and directors of both our company and the Jin Ma Companies, pledged an aggregate of 19,000,000 shares of our common stock owned by them as additional security for our obligations under the debentures.

 

As previously disclosed, the Jin Ma Companies had previously represented to us that they intended to either pay all or a portion of the management fees due us which totaled approximately $11,300,000 at March 31, 2009 and/or repay all or a portion of the amounts advanced to them to ensure that we had sufficient capital to make the interest and principal payments on the 10% secured convertible debentures. Mr. Liankuan Yang, our CEO, is also the CEO and controlling person of the Jin Ma Companies.

 

These amounts, however, were not paid to us which led to the default in the repayment of the debentures. We entered into negotiations with the debenture holders to restructure the payment terms and reached an understanding, subject to the execution of definitive documents, to extend the due date of the debentures and cure the default. This arrangement, which would have resulted in an increase in the amounts due under the debentures as a penalty for our failure to pay the original principal amount at maturity, would have also required us to make principal and interest payments of approximately $382,000 to the debenture holders concurrent with the execution of the definitive agreement. The source of the funds for these repayments was a repayment to us by the Jin Ma Companies of a portion of the amounts owed our company. To date, however, we have been unable to consummate this restructure. Cash on deposit in China is subject to the regulations of the PRC which restricts the transfer of cash from that country, except under certain specific circumstances. These currency laws have served to hinder Mr. Yang’s and the Jin Ma Companies’ ability to provide the funds to us necessary to restructure the debenture terms.

 

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and debentures, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which includes the failure to pay the debentures at maturity) the outstanding principal amount of the debenture, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, becomes, at the holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount which is defined in the debentures:

 

 

as the greater of:

 

 

130% of the outstanding principal amount of the debenture, plus 100% of accrued and unpaid interest here on, or

 

 

the outstanding principal amount of the debenture, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, divided by the conversion price on the date the Mandatory Default Amount is either (i) demanded (if demand or notice is required to create an Event of Default) or otherwise due or paid in full, whichever has a lower Conversion Price, multiplied by the VWAP on the date the Mandatory Default Amount is either (x) demanded or otherwise due or (y) paid in full, whichever has a higher VWAP, and

 

 

all other amounts, costs, expenses and liquidated damages due in respect of the debentures.

 

Commencing five days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of the debentures, the interest rate on the debentures accrues at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.

 

56



As of the date of this report the debenture holders have not made a formal demand for payment under the terms of the debentures, nor have they taken any actions to foreclose on the collateral pledged to secure the obligations. If the Jin Ma Companies are able to repay us a portion of the amounts due us we intend to use our best efforts to consummate a transaction with the debenture holders to restructure these obligations. However, we have no agreement or understanding with the debenture holders that the terms of the restructure are still acceptable to them. If the debenture holders should be unwilling to consummate the restructure agreement, it is likely that the debenture holders will institute legal proceedings against us to collect the amounts due under the debentures and to foreclose on the pledged collateral. Unless the Jin Ma Companies pay us the amounts due us we do not have the funds necessary to satisfy our obligations to the debenture holders. If the debenture holders successfully foreclose on the pledged collateral that would result in a change of control of our company as those securities represent approximately 36% of our outstanding common stock. There occurrence of any of these events would be materially adverse to our ability to continue our business as it is presently conducted.
