NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Basis of preparation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2011.

In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all normal adjustments that are necessary to provide a fair presentation of the financial results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for an entire fiscal year. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

b. Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of Good Wealth is Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”). The Company maintains its financial statements using the functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the respective periods.

The functional currency of TMK Shenzhen and Borou is the Renminbi (“RMB”), the PRC’s currency. These two companies maintain their financial statements using their own functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the respective periods.

For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of Good Wealth, which are prepared in HKD, are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, United States Dollars (“USD”); the financial statements of TMK Shenzhen and Borou, which are prepared in RMB, are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, USD. Balance sheet accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense accounts are translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.

The exchange rates used for foreign currency translation were as follows (USD$1 = RMB):

Period Covered Balance Sheet Date Rates Average Rates
     
Year ended December 31, 2010 6.61201 6.75950
Nine months ended September 30, 2010 6.69792 6.82175
Nine months ended September 30, 2011 6.41272 6.50618

The exchange rates used for foreign currency translation were as follows (USD$1 = HKD):

c. Fair values of financial instruments

US GAAP requires certain disclosures about fair value of financial instruments. The Company defines fair value, using the required three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement, the enhanced disclosures requirements for fair value measures. Current assets and current liabilities qualified as financial instruments and management believes their carrying amounts 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 if applicable, their current interest rate is equivalent to interest rates currently available. The three levels are defined as follows:

  • Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
  • Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
  • Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows:

    Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using  
    Quoted Prices     Significant              
    in Active     Other     Significant        
    Markets for     Observable     Unobservable        
    Identical Assets     Inputs     Inputs        
    (Level 1)     (Level 2)     (Level 3)       Total  
At September 30, 2011

Ending balance $  -   $  (1,255,314 )

d. Derivative liability

The Company granted a total of 3,401,320 warrants in connection with its private placement in February 2010. Because of the reset provision, the warrant agreement is considered not indexed to the Company’s stock and therefore the 3,401,320 warrants were determined to be derivative liability under ASC 815-15 and ASC 815-20. The fair value of these warrants were valued using the Multinomial Lattice models at each reporting periods, gain or loss from change in fair value of derivative liability are recorded in other income (expense).

e. Short-term investment

The short-term investments include time deposit of $9,143,712 with various financial institutions for a term of 120 days with 6.8% -7.8% fixed annual interest rate.

d. Recent Accounting Developments

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, the amendments to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments represent clarifications of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, but also include some changes in particular principles and requirements for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments specify that the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise in a fair value measurement are relevant only when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets and are not relevant when measuring the fair value of financial assets or of liabilities. The amendments include requirements specific to measuring the fair value of those instruments, such as equity interests issued as consideration in a business combination. The amendments clarify that a reporting entity should disclose quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in a fair value measurement that is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The amendments result in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the amendments to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, the amendments to ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. Under the amendments an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. The amendments eliminate the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The amendments should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of the amendments to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
