Stock Split
On June 13, 2011, the Company effected a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a ten (10) to one (1) basis with all fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole share. The capital stock accounts, all share data and earnings per share data give effect to the stock split, applied retrospectively, to all periods presented.
Going Concern
The Companys financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company requires additional capital to continue its limited operations. Furthermore, the Companys officers and directors serve in their capacities without compensation. The Company assumes that these arrangements and the availability of future capital sources will continue into the future, but no assurance thereof can be given. A change in these circumstances would have a material adverse effect on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in FASC 740-20, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized.
The Company does not accrue United States income tax on unremitted earnings from foreign operations, as it is the Companys intention to invest these earnings in the foreign operations indefinitely. The Company also believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2014, if recognized, would not have a material effect on its effective tax rate. The Company further believes that there are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible, based on current Chinese tax law and policy, that the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease over the next 12 months producing, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on the Companys results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly-liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Management believes that Companys cash and cash equivalents held by major banks located in the PRC are of high credit quality as of March 31, 2014.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue derived from hotel services is recognized when the rooms are occupied and the services are performed. Travel agency services revenues are recognized when the travel-related service, golf package service or transportation is provided, or when the organization service of corporate conferences, exhibitions and show events is commenced. Deferred revenue consisting of deposits
31
paid in advance is recognized as revenue when the services are performed for hotels and upon commencement of travel agency services.
Credit risk
The Company may be exposed to credit risk from its cash and fixed deposits at banks. No allowance has been made for estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to past default experience and the current economic environment.
Property, plant and equipment
Fixed assets, comprising building are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation for building is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 20 years.
Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. For the Company, comprehensive income for the periods presented includes net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Foreign currency translation
Assets and liabilities of the Company with a functional currency other than US$ are translated into US$ using year end exchange rates.
Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the year. Foreign currency translation differences are included as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Stockholders Equity.
The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into USD for the purposes of preparing the combined financial statements were as follows:
|
| |
|
2014
|
2013
|
Year end RMB : USD exchange rate
|
6.2163
|
6.2076
|
Year-average RMB : USD exchange rate
|
6.1185
|
6.2390
|
The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into USD at the rates used in translation.
Post-retirement and post-employment benefits
The Company contributes to a state pension plan in respect of its PRC employees. Other than the above, the Company does not provide any other post-retirement or post-employment benefits.
Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed using the net loss applicable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share does not differ from basic net loss per common share since potential shares of common stock from conversion of preferred stocks are anti-dilutive for all periods presented.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements originally established by ASU 2011-11. The new ASU addresses preparer concerns that the scope of the disclosure requirements under ASU 2011-11 was overly broad and imposed unintended costs that were not commensurate with estimated benefits to financial statement users. In choosing to narrow the scope of the offsetting disclosures, the Board determined that it could make them more operable and cost effective for preparers while still giving financial statement users sufficient information to analyze the most significant presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those prepared under IFRSs. Like ASU 2011-11, the amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning on, or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

The carrying values of all of our other financial instruments, which include accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
