1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation and Organization
Jade Art
Group Inc. (the “Company” or “Jade Art”) was incorporated under the laws of the
State of Nevada on September 30, 2005, as Vella Productions, Inc.
(“Vella”). For the period from inception (September 30,
2005) through September 30, 2007, the Company generated no
revenues.
On
October 1, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Merger Agreement") with its wholly owned subsidiary, VELLA Merger Sub, Inc.,
and each of Guoxi Holding Limited ("GHL"), a British Virgin Islands holding
company founded on July 28, 2006, Hua-Cai Song, Fu-Lan Chen, Mei-Ling Chen,
Chen-Qing Luo, Mei-Qing Zhang, Song-Mao Cai, Shenzhen Hua Yin Guaranty &
Investment Company Limited, Top Good International Limited, Total Giant Group
Limited, Total Shine Group Limited, Sure Believe Enterprises Limited, Think Big
Trading Limited, Huge Step Enterprises Limited, and Billion Hero Investments
Limited.
Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, GHL merged with VELLA Merger Sub, Inc., with GHL
identified as the surviving entity (the “Merger Transaction”). GHL
was the sole stockholder of 100 percent of the capital stock of the operating
entity known as Jiangxi XiDa (“Jiangxi XiDa” and formerly known as Jiangxi Xi
Cheong Lacquer, Inc.). Jiangxi XiDa was incorporated under the laws of the
People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on December 4, 2006, and is located in
Yujiang, Jiangxi Province, PRC.
At the
time of the Merger Transaction, Jiangxi XiDa was engaged in the production of
traditional art products, including religious woodcut lacquer, woodcut decorated
furniture, and woodcut decorations used in buildings and for display. As a
result of the Merger Transaction, GHL became a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, which, in turn, made the Company the indirect owner of Jiangxi
XiDa. Under the Merger Agreement, in exchange for surrendering their shares
in GHL, the GHL stockholders received an aggregate of (i) 68,900,000 newly
issued shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.001 per share, and (ii)
$14,334,500, in the form of promissory notes resulting from declared dividends,
payable on or before the first year anniversary of the Merger
Transaction. Such consideration, including participation in the promissory
notes, was distributed pro rata among the GHL stockholders in accordance with
their respective ownership interests in GHL immediately before the completion of
the Merger Transaction. Based on the consent of Jade Art’s Board of Directors,
and all of the GHL stockholders, the due date for payment of the promissory
notes was later extended to March 31, 2009. Subsequent to December
31, 2008, the Company again amended the due date of the promissory notes to
March 31, 2010. The amendment included the payment of interest accrued at a
rate of 4 percent to be applied to the final amount owed of
$903,074. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company paid
$12,069,649 in principal related to the promissory notes. In addition,
during the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company paid an additional
$2,264,851 in principal payments on the promissory notes with accrued interest
of $5,418. As such, as of December 31, 2009, the Company had paid off all
of its obligations related to the promissory notes under the Merger
Agreement.
Under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the share
exchange completed under the Merger Agreement was considered as a capital
transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. As such, GHL
is considered to have acquired the Company by reverse merger. The reverse
merger has been recorded as a recapitalization of the Company, with the net
assets of the Company and GHL and its wholly owned subsidiary (Jiangxi XiDa)
brought forward at their historical bases. The costs associated with the
reverse merger were expensed as incurred.

JUNE

(Unaudited)
On
November 8, 2007, the Company amended and restated its Articles of Incorporation
to change the name of the entity to Jade Art Group Inc. In addition, on
January 11, 2008, the Company formed a new, wholly owned Chinese subsidiary,
JiangXi SheTai Jade Industrial Company Limited (“JST”), to engage in the
processing and sale of jadeite and jade. JST is a wholly owned
subsidiary of GHL.
On
January 17, 2008, the Company entered into an Exclusive Distribution Rights
Agreement (the "Exclusive Jade Distribution Rights Agreement") with Wulateqianqi
XiKai Mining Co., Ltd. ("XiKai Mining"). Under the terms of the Exclusive
Jade Distribution Rights Agreement, XiKai Mining agreed to sell to the
Company 90 percent of the raw jade material produced from its SheTai Jade
mine, located in Wulateqianqi, PRC, for a period of 50 years. In exchange
for the Exclusive Jade Distributions Rights, the Company agreed to pay RMB 60
million (approximately $8.8 million) to XiKai Mining by March 31, 2009, and
XiKai Mining has granted the Company a five-year security interest and first
priority lien on XiKai Mining’s 100 percent ownership interest of Jiangxi XiDa
Wooden Carving Lacquerware Co., Ltd which were contained in and conducted by
Jiangxi XiDa. The transfer of Jiangxi XiDa to XiKai Mining under the
Exclusive Jade Distribution Rights Agreement was completed on February 20,
2008.
The
Exclusive Jade Distribution Rights Agreement further provides that, if the
Company requests, production of jade by XiKai Mining will be no less than 40,000
metric tons per year (the "Minimum Commitment"), with an initial average cost
per ton to be paid by the Company of not more than RMB 2,000 (approximately
$295). The cost per ton paid by Jade Art is subject to renegotiation every
five years during the term of the Exclusive Jade Distribution Rights Agreement,
with adjustments not to exceed 10 percent of the cost for the immediately
preceding five-year period. Failure by XiKai Mining to supply raw jade
material ordered by the Company within the Minimum Commitment level during any
of the initial five years of the Exclusive Jade Distribution Rights Agreement
entitles the Company to payment from XiKai Mining of RMB 18,000 (approximately
$2,630) for each ton ordered by but not supplied to the Company during any such
fiscal year.
The
Company’s current business operations include the sale and distribution of raw
jade. For the period from the date of completion of the Exclusive Jade
Distribution Rights Agreement through June 30, 2010, the principal operations of
the Company have been the sale and distribution of raw jade.
Principles
of Accounting and Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly
owned subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), and include the
assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows of all
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances, transactions,
and cash flows have been eliminated in consolidation.
Unaudited
Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
The
interim consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of June 30, 2010, and
December 31, 2009, and the interim consolidated results of operations and cash
flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, and June
30, 2009, are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, these
interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly Jade Art Group
Inc.’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2010, and December, 2009,
the results of its operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2010, and June 30, 2009, and its cash flows for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 2010, and June 30, 2009. These consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for interim reporting, and in accordance with
the requirements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The accompanying interim
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included within the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2009, filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full
year ending December 31, 2010.

Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
consolidated assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the
reported amounts of consolidated revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various
other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign
Currency Translation
The
Company accounts for foreign currency translation pursuant to ASC Topic
830,
Foreign Currency
Matters
(formerly SFAS No. 52,
Foreign Currency
Translation
). The functional currency of Jade Art is the Chinese
Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”). Under ASC Topic 830-30, all consolidated
assets and liabilities are translated into United States Dollars using the
current exchange rate in effect at the end of each fiscal period. The
currency exchange rates used by the Company as of June 30, 2010, and December
31, 2009, to translate the assets and liabilities into United States
dollars were 6.7909:1 and 6.8282:1, respectively. Consolidated
revenues and expenses were translated using the average exchange rates
prevailing throughout the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010,
and June 30, 2009, which amounted to 6.8171:1 and 6.833:1,
respectively. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, the only components of
comprehensive income were the net income for the periods and the foreign
currency translation adjustments. The effect of the foreign currency
translation adjustment was to increase comprehensive income by
$3,371,244 and $3,373,370 for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 2010, respectively, including $3,269,010 of the
increased net dollar value of the Exclusive Jade Distribution Rights from
its original recorded value in January 2008 to June 30,
2010.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
For
purposes of reporting within the consolidated statements of cash flows, the
Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal
restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid investments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts
Receivable
The
Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of
business and mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and
actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is
established and recorded based on management’s assessment of the aging of the
payment credit history with the customers and current relationships with them.
Specific provisions are applied to related-party receivables and third-party
receivables where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances
may not be collectible. As of June 30, 2010, and December 31, 2009, the
balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts was $251,373 and $250,000,
respectively. While management uses the best information available upon which to
base estimates, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic
conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used for the purposes of
analysis.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment is stated at cost. Betterments and improvements are
capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Leaseholds
are depreciated over the lesser of lease life or useful life. Repairs and
maintenance expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. When assets
are disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation (the net book
value of the assets) are eliminated, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected
in operations. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenues when goods are shipped, when a formal arrangement
exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other
significant obligations of the Company exist, and, collectability is reasonably
assured. Typical shipment terms for all customers are FOB shipping
point. Goods are considered shipped and delivered when a customer’s truck
picks up goods at the finished goods inventory location.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company has adopted ASC Topic 820,
Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures
, (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“
SFAS”) No.157,
Fair Value
Measurements
) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in US GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. It does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides
guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used
to classify the source of the information.
Level
1: Pricing inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted market prices
(unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active
markets.
|
Level
2: Pricing inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for
similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for
substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
|
Level
3: Pricing inputs to valuation methodology are generally unobservable, are
not corroborated by market data and are significant to the fair
measurement.
|
The carrying amounts reported in the
consolidated balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, receivables and
current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable
estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the
origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current
market rate of interest.
Earnings
per share
The
Company reports basic earnings per share in accordance with FASB Topic 260,
Earnings Per Share
(Formerly SFAS No.128). Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the periods
presented. The weighted average number of shares of the Company
represents the common stock outstanding during the reporting
periods.
Diluted
earnings per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive securities were
converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock
method. Under this method, the dilutive securities are assumed to be exercised
at the time of issuance, and as if the funds obtained thereby were used to
purchase and retire the company’s common stock at the average market price
during the period.
Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation
The
Company uses the fair value recognition provision of FASB ASC Topic
718,
Compensation-Stock
Compensation
(formerly SFAS No. 123(R)), which requires the
Company to expense the cost of employee services received in exchange for an
award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of such
instruments over the vesting period.
JADE
ART GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE
30, 2010, AND 2009
(Unaudited)
The
Company also applies the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 505-50,
Equity Based Payments to
Non-Employees
(formerly EITF 96-18) to account for stock-based
compensation awards issued to non-employees for services. Such awards
for services are recorded at either the fair value of the consideration received
or the fair value of the instruments issued in exchange for such services,
whichever is more reliably measurable.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
In
accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360 (formerly SFAS No. 144),
Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived
Assets
, Jade Art would record an impairment of long-lived assets
held and used or to be disposed of when indicators of impairment are present and
the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less
than the carrying amount.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 740,
Income Taxes
(formerly SFAS
No. 109). Income taxes are provided on an asset and liability approach for
financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Current tax is based on the
profit or loss adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowable for
income tax purposes and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. ASC Topic 740 also requires the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact
of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and
liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax
losses and tax credit carryforwards. ASC Topic 740 additionally requires the
establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization
of deferred tax assets. Realization of deferred tax assets, including those
related to the U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, are dependent upon future
earnings, if any, of which the timing and amount are uncertain. The company is
subject to US taxation, and to PRC taxation on its Chinese
subsidiaries.
The
Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 740-10-05
, Income Taxes
,
(formerly FASB Interpretation No. 48), which provides guidance for recognizing
and measuring uncertain tax positions and prescribes a threshold condition that
a tax position must meet for any of the benefits of the uncertain tax position
to be recognized in the financial statements. It also provides accounting
guidance on derecognizing, classification, and disclosure of these uncertain tax
positions. The Company’s policy on classification of all interest and
penalties related to unrecognized tax is to record such items, if any, as a
component of income tax provisions.
Value
Added Tax
Operations
of Jade Art in the PRC are subject to a value added tax (“VAT”) imposed by the
PRC government on the purchase and sales of goods. The output VAT is
charged to customers that purchase goods from the Company, and the input VAT is
paid by the Company when it purchases goods from its vendors. The VAT rate
is approximately 17%, depending on the types of products purchased and
sold. The input VAT can be offset against the output VAT.
Concentrations
of Risk
All of
the Company’s operations and operational assets are located in the PRC. The
Company may be adversely affected by possible political or economic instability
in the PRC. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately
predicted.
The
Company’s cash accounts are held in PRC bank accounts which are not insured by
the FDIC. As of June 30, 2010, and December 31, 2009, the Company’s cash
balances, net of outstanding checks, in these bank accounts were $ 5,716,854 and
$147,392, respectively.

Supplier
For the
period ended June 30, 2010, and 2009, the Company had one major supplier of raw
jade, XiKai Mining, from which the Company purchased all of its raw jade. The
total cost of raw jade purchased during the six months ended June 30, 2010,
and 2009, from this supplier was $624,561 and $516,024, respectively. If
there are any interruptions of this source of supply, the Company would have to
cease operations until an alternative source of supply of jade could be
found.
Comprehensive
Income
The
Company presents comprehensive income in accordance with ASC 220
Comprehensive Income
(formerly SFAS No. 130). ASC 220 states that all items that are
required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in the consolidated financial
statements. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the
only components of comprehensive income were the net income for the periods and
the foreign currency translation adjustments.
Note
2 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Effective
July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 105-10,
Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles – Overall
(“Topic 105-10”). Topic 105-10
establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as
the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be
applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements
in conformity with US GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the
SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative
US GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the
Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification
superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting
standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature
not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will
not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or
Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue
Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU’s”). The FASB will not consider
ASU’s as authoritative in their own right. ASU’s will serve only to
update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and
provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the
Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this
document have been updated for the Codification.

In
January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06,
Improving Disclosures about Fair
Value Measurements
. This update requires additional disclosure
within the roll forward of activity for assets and liabilities measured at fair
value on a recurring basis, including transfers of assets and liabilities
between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the separate
presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of assets and
liabilities within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition,
the update requires enhanced disclosures of the valuation techniques and inputs
used in the fair value measurements within Levels 2 and 3. The new
disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual periods beginning
after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure of purchases, sales,
issuances and settlements of Level 3 measurements. Those disclosures
are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2010. As ASU 2010-06 only requires enhanced disclosures, the Company
does not expect that the adoption of this update will have a material effect on
its consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09,
Amendments to Certain Recognition
and Disclosure Requirements
, which eliminates the requirement for SEC
filers to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent
events. ASC No. 2010-09 is effective for its fiscal quarter beginning
after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASC No. 2010-06 will not have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging
Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by
management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future
consolidated financial statements.

3 Acquisition Deposit
On
November 1, 2009, and effective November 15, 2009, the Company entered into an
Investment Agreement with Shenzhen Huanyatong Investment Development Co.,
Ltd. Per the Investment Agreement, the Company agreed to pay
Huanyatong RMB 60,000,000 equivalent to USD$8,835,348 as an acquisition deposit,
and Huanyatong agreed to assist the Company in finding an acquisition
target. The term of the Investment Agreement was nine months, and based on
the agreement, the acquisition deposit was to be returned to the Company with no
interest before August 14, 2010, if there are no investments or acquisitions
presented for consideration as of July 15, 2010. On August 3, 2010 Shenzhen
Huanyatong Investment Development Co., Ltd returned RMB 60,000,000 equivalent to
USD $8,835,348, to Jade Art Group.
Note
4 Exclusive Jade Distribution Rights Agreement
The
Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with ASC Topic 350,
Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets
(formerly named as SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets
,) which requires that intangible assets that have indefinite lives
not be amortized but instead be tested at least annually for impairment, or more
frequently when events or a change in circumstances indicate that the asset
might be impaired. For indefinite lived intangible assets, impairment is
tested by comparing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value and
assessing the ongoing appropriateness of the indefinite life
classification. For intangible assets with a definite life classification,
the Company amortizes the asset over its useful or economic life, whichever is
shorter. At least annually, the Company performs an analysis of impairment
of the intangible assets. In performing this assessment, management
considers current market analysis and appraisal of the asset, along with
estimates of future cash flows. The Company recognizes impairment losses
when undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated from long-lived assets
are less than the amount of unamortized assets. If the Company determines
that an asset has been impaired, a charge to the Company’s statements of
operations is recorded. As of December 31, 2009, and 2008, the Company
determined that there was no impairment to the intangible assets, and the
Company is not aware of any changes that would indicate an impairment as of June
30, 2010.

purchase 90 percent of the raw jade produced by XiKai’s SheTai mine at a fixed
price for five years, subject to adjustment every five years
thereafter. The woodcarving operations were appraised as having a fair
value of USD$60,400,000 at the time of the Exchange Agreement. The
appraised value plus the RMB 60 million cash payment are the basis of the
valuation of the Exclusive Jade Distribution Rights Agreement.

The
Company amortizes the Exclusive Jade Distribution Rights using the straight-line
method over an economic useful life of 25 years. Management of the Company
is of the opinion that the useful life of the Exclusive Jade Distribution Rights
(25 years) is shorter than the 50-year term of the agreement due to
uncertainties regarding the practical life of the SheTai Jade mine, its
production capacity, quality of jade produced, the market price of jade
acquired, and the strength of the Company’s markets in the PRC. In
addition, the use of the straight-line method of amortization of the value of
Exclusive Jade Distribution Rights is based on management’s uncertainty of the
future level of production and sale of jade.
Amortization
expense of the intangible asset has been included in Cost of Sales, as it
represents a component of the cost of the jade product acquired by the Company.
The amortization expenses were $ 1,437,664, and $1,434,046, for the six
months ended June 30, 2010, and June 30, 2009, respectively.

the "PRC") in which our operating subsidiaries operate.
Overview
The
Company is a seller and distributor in the PRC of raw jade, ranging in uses from
decorative construction material for both the commercial and residential markets
to high-end jewelry. For more than 30 years, the Company's business had
consisted of manufacturing and selling hand and machine-carved wood products,
such as furniture, architectural accents and Buddhist figurines, in China.
Commencing in 2007, we experienced a reduction of revenue from our woodcarving
business, which largely resulted from increased competition. As a result, we
decided to dispose of our wood products business and to enter the business of
raw jade sales and distribution, which management believed presented a better
long-term growth potential. On January 11, 2008, we formed a new wholly owned
Chinese subsidiary, JiangXi SheTai Jade Industrial Company Limited ("JST"), to
engage in the sale and distribution of raw jade throughout China. Our goal was,
and continues to be, to develop a meaningful participation in China’s raw jade
market and to eventually vertically integrate our raw jade distribution
activities with jade processing, carving, polishing, and, at a later date,
retail sales.
On
January 17, 2008, the Company entered into an Exclusive Distribution Rights
Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with Wulateqianqi XiKai Mining Co., Ltd.
("XiKai Mining"). Under the Exchange Agreement, XiKai Mining committed to sell
to the Company 90 percent of the raw jade material produced from its SheTai Jade
mine, located in Wulateqianqi, China, for a period of 50 years (the "Exclusive
Rights"). In exchange for these Exclusive Rights, the Company agreed to pay
XiKai Mining RMB 60 million (approximately $8.8 million) by March 31, 2009, and
to transfer to XiKai Mining 100 percent of our ownership interest in all of the
Company's woodcarving operations, which were contained in Jiangxi XiDa. This
transfer of Jiangxi XiDa was made on February 20, 2008.
XiKai
Mining is the Company's sole source for raw jade. Under the Exchange Agreement,
the Company’s price for the raw jade material has been set for the first five
years at RMB 2,000 (approximately $295) per metric ton, and is subsequently
subject to renegotiation every five years with price adjustments not to exceed
10 percent. This mine commenced operation in 2002, and its annual capacity in
2009 was estimated to be approximately 25,000 metric tons. It has one of the
largest jade reserves in China. According to a survey report issued by the Inner
Mongolia Geological Institution, the mine has proven and probable reserves of
approximately six million metric tons. SheTai Jade is a form of jadeite found in
the mountain ranges of Inner Mongolia, China. The jade from the SheTai mine is
stainless, non-corrosive, non-weathering and resists fading. Observers have
stated that it has a glassy luster and a pure and an attractive green color. It
is also harder and more durable than many other forms of jade. As a
result of such characteristics, the Company believes that SheTai Jade has a
broad spectrum of applications, ranging from commercial and residential
construction and decorative jade artwork to intricately carved jade
jewelry.
The
supply of Jade from XiKai Mining was interrupted on June 10, 2008, when an
earthquake damaged the only road on which raw jade is transported from XiKai
Mining's warehouse. A smaller service road was still navigable, allowing basic
mining operations to continue. The mine was able to continue to mine raw jade,
cut jade, and to prepare the jade for transport by the Company's customers.
However, due to the tonnage load, the actual shipment of raw jade from the
warehouse by the Company's customers was completely halted. The road was
subsequently repaired, and the shipment of raw jade from the mine commenced
again on September 23, 2008.

Revenue
Subsequent
to the Company’s acquisition of the Exclusive Distribution Rights pursuant to
the Exchange Agreement, the Company's sales revenue has been derived solely from
the sale of raw jade.
The
revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 from the sale of raw
jade was $2,783,244 and $8,694,115, compared to $1,957,997 and $6,925,026 for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $825,247 and
$1,769,089, or 42% and 26%, respectively. This resulted from a higher volume of
orders for raw jade received by the Company from its customers due, we believe,
in part, to an improved economic environment. Tonnage shipped increased by 20.4%
to 2,488, and price per metric ton increased 4.5% during the first six months of
2010 as compared to the first six months of 2009 which reflecting slightly
higher size and grade of jade being shipped. After a slowing of its growth, the
Chinese economy appears to be showing improvement. This has had a positive
impact on the commercial and residential construction markets and the jade
jewelry market into which the Company sells raw jade.

Cost
of Sales
The cost
of sales was $ 2,061,538 during the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to
$1,950,070 during the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $111,468 or
6%. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, and 2009, cost of sales were
$918,902 and $859,428 respectively, reflecting an increase of $59,474 or 7%. The
increases are due to the increased tonnage shipped in 2010.
These
costs for the first six months of 2010, and 2009, include the amortization of
Exclusive Jade Distribution Rights, which were $1,438,298 and $1,434,666,
respectively.
Gross
Profit
The
resulting gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, was
$1,864,342 and $6,632,577, which represented approximately 67% and 76% of
revenue, compared to $1,098,569 and $4,974,956 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2009, which represented approximately 56% and 72% of revenue. The
increase in the gross profit as a percentage of revenue reflects the benefit of
the amortization of the Exclusive Distribution Rights Agreement being spread
over a higher level of revenue.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
Selling,
general and administrative expenses were $473,698 for the six months ended June
30, 2010, compared to $642,869 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a
decrease of $169,171, or 26%. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, and
2009, Selling, General and Administrative Expenses were $184,684 and $308,238
respectively, a decrease of $123,554, or 40%. These decreases were
mainly attributable to the decrease in the Company's promotional expenses, since
the Company’s sales in 2010 were solely derived from our existing
customers.
Income
before Taxes
Income
before taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, was $1,684,687
and $6,168,506, respectively, compared to levels for the three and the six
months ended June 30, 2009, of $785,219 and $4,327,256, due to the increase in
sales in 2010.
Provision
for Income Tax
The
provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, was
$609,419 and $1,854,127, respectively, compared to $424,941 and $1,517,933 for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. These variances
represent increases of 43.4% and 22%, respectively, and these percentage
increases are lower than the respective increases in the pre-tax income due to
the non-deductibility of the amortization of the Exclusive Distribution Rights
Agreement for Chinese tax purposes.
Net
Income
The net
income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, was $1,075,268 and
$4,314,379, respectively, compared to $360,278 and $2,809,323, respectively, for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, such increases were $714,990 and $
1,505,056, or 198% and 54%, respectively. These increases are due to the
increases in our sales revenue during those periods relative to the prior year’s
comparable period.

During

requirements by using its operating cash flows.
Net
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
During
the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company had net cash flows from
operating activities of $5,516,650, compared to $2,170,868 for the six months
ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $ 3,345,782. The increase was primarily
attributable to an increase in net income of $1,505,056, and a reduction in
accounts receivable due to intensified collections.
Net
Cash Used in Investing Activities and Financing Activities
The
Company had no Investing Activities during the six months ended June 30, 2010,
and none for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
During
the first six months of 2009, the Company paid $2,264,851 on its outstanding
notes. There was no financing activity during the first six months of
2010.
The
Company has received orders from, and make sales to, its existing customers
through the six months ended June 30, 2010. However, the Company has not
obtained new customers since the second quarter of 2008. The Company and its
existing customers have agreed to have future sales orders based on verbal
contracts.
Due to
the nature of the Company's business as a seller and distributor of raw jade,
principal components of the Company's overhead, such as salaries and lease
obligations, are relatively low. Management presently anticipates that the
Company's cash on hand and cash expected to be generated from operating
activities will be sufficient to finance the Company's current operations
through December 31, 2010.
The
Company does not currently have any credit facilities with banks or other
lenders. Furthermore, obtaining such financing may be difficult and
costly and potentially more dilutive to our existing investors. The failure to
secure such financing, if it were to be required, on favorable terms could have
a material adverse affect on our operations.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates

Significant Accounting Policies”

herein for a discussion of the critical accounting policies and estimates
adopted in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item

Item
4T. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). The evaluation of our
disclosure controls and procedures included a review of our processes and the
effect on the information generated for use in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q. In the course of this evaluation, we sought to identify any material
weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and to confirm that any
necessary corrective action, including process improvements, was taken. The
purpose of this evaluation is to determine if, as of the Evaluation
Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively
such that the information, required to be disclosed in our Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) was recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) was
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
As of
June 30, 2010, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial
Officer have concluded that, as of that date, the Company’s controls and
procedures were not effective due to some significant deficiencies in the
Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This is due to the fact
that the Company lacks sufficient personnel with the appropriate level of
knowledge, experience and training in the application of U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (US GAAP) standards, especially related to complicated
accounting issues. This could cause the Company to be unable to fully identify
and resolve certain accounting and disclosure issues that could lead to a
failure to maintain effective controls over preparation, review and approval of
certain significant account reconciliation from Chinese GAAP to US GAAP and
necessary journal entries.
The
Company employs a relatively small number of professionals in bookkeeping and
accounting functions, which prevents the Company from appropriately segregating
duties within its internal control systems. The inadequate segregation of duties
is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and
resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to
perform timely and effective reviews.
Based on
the control deficiency identified above, we have designed and plan to implement,
or in some cases have already implemented, the specific remediation initiatives
described below:
|
·
|
We will
evaluate the roles of our existing accounting personnel in an effort
to realign the reporting structure of our internal auditing staff in China
that will test and monitor the implementation of our accounting and
internal control procedures.
|
|
·
|
We
are in the process of completing a review and revision of the
documentation of the Company’s internal control procedures and
policies.
|
|
·
|
We
will begin implementation an initiative and training in China to ensure
the importance of internal controls and compliance with established
policies and procedures are fully understood throughout the organization
and will provide additional U.S. GAAP training to all employees involved
with the performance of or compliance with those procedures and
policies.
|
|
·
|
We
will implement a formal financial reporting process that includes review
by our Chief Executive Officer and the full Board of Directors of
financial statements prior to filing with the
SEC.
|
|
·
|
We
will increase our accounting and financing personnel resources, by
retaining more US GAAP knowledgeable financial
professionals.
|
The
remedial measures being undertaken may not be fully effectuated or may be
insufficient to address the significant deficiencies we identified, and there
can be no assurance that significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our
internal control over financial reporting will not be identified or occur in the
future. If additional significant deficiencies (or if material weaknesses) in
our internal controls are discovered or occur in the future, among other similar
or related effects: (i) the Company may fail to meet future reporting
obligations on a timely basis, (ii) the Company’s consolidated financial
statements may contain material misstatements, (iii) the Company’s business
and operating results may be harmed.
Based on
this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and
procedures were not operating effectively.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
