NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Qingdao Footwear, Inc. (formerly Datone, Inc. (Datone)) was originally incorporated on August 9, 2000, under the laws of the State of Delaware. Datone operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of USIP.COM, Inc. (USIP). On August 24, 2006, USIP decided to spin-off its subsidiary companies, one of which was Datone. On February 1, 2008, Datone filed a registration statement on Form 10-SB, which went effective on November 13, 2008.
On February 12, 2010, Datone completed a reverse acquisition transaction through a share exchange (the Share Exchange) with Glory Reach International Limited (Glory Reach), a Hong Kong limited company, the shareholders of Glory Reach (the Shareholders), Greenwich Holdings LLC and Qingdao Hongguan Shoes Co., Ltd. (Qingdao Shoes), a Peoples Republic of China (the PRC) company, whereby Datone acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Glory Reach in exchange for 10,000 shares of Datone Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which constituted 97% of our issued and outstanding capital stock on an as-converted to common stock basis as of and immediately after the consummation of the reverse acquisition. The Series A Convertible Preferred is convertible at 1 share of preferred for 970 shares of Datone common stock. Following the effectiveness of the reverse stock split (See Note 13) and conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into common stock (See Note 13), there were approximately 10,000,000 shares of Datone common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. As a result of the reverse acquisition, Glory Reach became Datones wholly-owned subsidiary and the former shareholders of Glory Reach became Datones controlling stockholders. The Share Exchange with Glory Reach was treated as a reverse acquisition, with Glory Reach as the acquirer and Datone as the acquired party for accounting and financial reporting purposes. After the Share Exchange, Datone changed its name to Qingdao Footwear, Inc.
Datone spun off all its assets and liabilities to its prior owners prior to the reverse merger. For Glory Reach, the reverse merger is accounted for as a reverse merger with a shell company and as a recapitalization. Hereafter, Datone, Glory Reach, Qingdao Shoes is referred to as the Company, unless specific reference is made to a subsidiary.
Glory Reach was established in Hong Kong on November 18, 2009 to serve as an intermediate holding company. Mr. Tao Wang, the controlling interest holder of Qingdao Shoes also controls Glory Reach. On February 8, 2010, Glory Reach acquired 100% of the equity interests in Qingdao Shoes.
Qingdao Shoes was incorporated on March 11, 2003, in Jimo County, Qingdao City, Shandong Province, PRC, with registered capital of $320,480. Prior to December 18, 2009, Mr. Tao Wang owned 80% of Qingdao Shoes and the remaining 20% was owned by Mr. Renwei Ma. Starting from December 18, 2009, Mr. Tao Wang owned 80% of Qingdao Shoes, Mr. Renwei Ma owned 15% and Mr. Wenyi Chen owned the remaining 5%. Qingdao Shoes is the owner of the brand name Hongguan and principally engaged in the wholesale and retail sales of fashion footwear primarily in the northeast region of China.
The restructuring has been accounted for using the as if pooling method of accounting and the operations were consolidated as if the restructuring had occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented in our consolidated financial statements and the current corporate structure had been in existence throughout the periods covered by our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Restatement of Financial Statements
Mr. Tao Wang entered into the contract with the Company to assume fiscal responsibilities for all tax liabilities recorded and potential penalties relating to all the tax liabilities before December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, the assumed amount tax liabilities was $12,549,060, which mainly included VAT tax payable and income tax payable. However, these tax amounts transferred to Mr. Tao Wang were never paid to the government. As a result, the historical financial statements of the Company were restated to reflect the Company as the primary obligor of the tax liabilities. The restatement has no effect on operating income, net income or cash flows from operating activities.
Basis of Presentation
Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its consolidated financial position and the results of its operations for the interim period presented.
The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
4
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade receivables. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, substantially all of the Companys cash were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality. With respect to trade receivables, the Company generally does not require collateral for trade receivables and has not experienced any credit losses in collecting the trade receivables.
The Company operates principally in the PRC and grants credit to its customers in this geographic region. Although the PRC is economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the Companys operations.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity period of six months or less to be cash or cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value. All of the Companys cash that is held in bank accounts in the PRC is not protected by FDIC insurance or any other similar insurance in the PRC.
Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 220 Reporting Comprehensive Income which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances in a full set of general purpose financial statements.
ASC 220 defines 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, including adjustments to minimum pension liabilities, accumulated foreign currency translation, and unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities. The Companys other comprehensive income arose from the effect of foreign currency translation adjustments.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys functional currency is Chinese Currency Renminbi (RMB) and its reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar at exchange rate in effect on the date of the transactions. Exchange gains or losses on transaction are included in earnings.
The financial statements of the Company are translated into United States dollars in accordance with the provisions of ASC 830 Foreign Currency Matters, using the year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses and historical rates for the equity.

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of unpaid balances due from the whole-sale customers. Such balances generally are cleared in the subsequent month when the whole-sale customers place another order. The Company uses the aging method to estimate valuation allowance for anticipated uncollectible receivable balances. Under the aging method, bad debts percentages determined by management based on historical experience as well as current economic climate are applied to customers balances categorized by the number of months the underlying invoices have remained outstanding. The valuation allowance balance is adjusted to the amount computed as a result of the aging method. When facts subsequently become available to indicate that the amount provided as the allowance was incorrect, an adjustment which classified as a change in estimate is made. The Company did not experience any bad debt historically and as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded based on the aging method.
Inventories
Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis and includes all expenditure incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale and putting them in a salable condition. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, the management makes adjustments as to future demand requirements compared to current or committed inventory levels. Our reserve requirements generally increase as our projected demand requirements; or decrease due to market conditions and product life cycle changes. The Company estimates the demand requirements based on market conditions, forecasts prepared by its customers, sales contracts and orders in hand.
In addition, the Company estimates net realizable value based on intended use, current market value and inventory aging analysis. The Company writes down inventories for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventories and their estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. There is no reserve on inventory as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. Major renewals and betterments are charged to the property accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed in the current period.
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets as set out below.

Land Use Right
Land use right is stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the designated terms of the lease of 50 years obtained from the relevant PRC land authority.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for impairment of property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets in accordance with ASC 360, Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, which requires the Company to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability when there is event or circumstance that indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable (when carrying amount exceeds the gross, undiscounted cash flows from use and disposition) and is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over the assets (or asset groups) fair value. There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and year ended December 31, 2010.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenues from the retail and wholesale of shoes. Sales revenues are recognized when the following four revenue criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales are presented net of value added tax (VAT). No return allowance is made as product returns have been insignificant in all periods.
Retail sales are recognized at the point of sale to customers. Wholesale to its contracted customers are recognized as revenue at the time the product is shipped and title passes to the customer on an FOB shipping point basis. Wholesale prices are predetermined and fixed based on contractual agreements. The Company does not allow any discounts, credits, rebates or similar privileges.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes the cost of purchasing merchandise. Receiving and warehousing cost are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, and these costs have been insignificant in all periods.
Advertising Expenses
The Company expenses cost of advertising, including the cost of TV commercials, outdoor bulletin boards, promotional materials, and in-store displays as advertising expense, when incurred. Advertising expenses included in selling, general and administrative expenses were $297,642 and $117,683 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling costs related to cost of goods sold are included in selling, general and administrative expense.
Shipping and handling costs were the packing and transportation expenses for the goods sold. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, shipping and handling costs were nil and nil respectively.
Store Opening Costs
Non-capital expenditures associated with opening new stores are expenses as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain. There was no deferred tax asset or liability for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
Value Added Taxes
7
The Company is subject to value added tax (VAT) for selling merchandise. The applicable VAT rate is 17% for products sold in the PRC. The amount of VAT liability is determined by applying the applicable tax rate to the invoiced amount of goods sold (output VAT) less VAT paid on purchases made with the relevant supporting invoices (input VAT). Under the commercial practice of the PRC, the Company pays VAT based on tax invoices issued. The tax invoices may be issued subsequent to the date on which revenue is recognized, and there may be a considerable delay between the date on which the revenue is recognized and the date on which the tax invoice is issued. In the event that the PRC tax authorities dispute the date on which revenue is recognized for tax purposes, the PRC tax office has the right to assess a penalty based on the amount of the taxes which are determined to be late or deficient, and will be expensed in the period if and when a determination is made by the tax authorities that a penalty is due.
VAT on sales and VAT on purchases amounted to $2,337,237 and $1,276,292, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2011. VAT on sales and VAT on purchases amounted to $1,912,375 and $46,684, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Sales and purchases are recorded net of VAT collected and paid as the Company acts as an agent for the government.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, adopted January 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current receivables and payables qualify as financial instruments. Management concluded the carrying values 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 stated interest rate approximates current rates 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.
It is managements opinion that as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented on the balance sheets. This is attributed to the short maturities of the instruments (less than two years) and that interest rates on the borrowing approximately those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective balance sheet dates. The carrying amounts of the loans approximately their fair values because the applicable interest rates approximate current market rates.
Segment Reporting
We operate as a single operating segment for purpose of presenting financial information and evaluating performance. As such, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present financial information in a format that is consistent with the internal financial information used by management. We do not accumulate operating expenses by wholesale and retail operations and, therefore, it is impractical to present such information.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each 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. As the exercise price of the option granted to Crone Law Group (Note 13) is higher than the current share price of common stock, the option did not affect the weighted average number of shares of common stock as of June 30, 2011. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, the Company had no common stock equivalents that could potentially dilute future earnings per share.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary a Scope Clarification. The amendments in this update affect accounting and reporting by an entity that experiences a decrease in ownership in a subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity. The amendments also affect accounting and reporting by an entity that exchanges a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for an equity interest in another entity. The amendments in this update are effective beginning in the period that an entity adopts SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial
8
Statements An Amendment of ARB No.51. If an entity has previously adopted SFAS No.160 as of the date the amendments in this update are included in the Accounting Standards Codification, the amendments in this update are effective beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted SFAS No.160. The management does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosure as follows: (1) Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. (2) Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarifies existing disclosures as follows: (1) Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities. (2) Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The management does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
On February 25, 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09 Subsequent Events Topic 855 Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, effective immediately. The amendments in the ASU remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclosure a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of US GAAP. The FASB believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the SECs literature. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
On March 5, 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11 Derivatives and Hedging Topic 815 Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives. This ASU clarifies the guidance within the derivative literature that exempts certain credit related features from analysis as potential embedded derivatives requiring separate accounting. The ASU specifies that an embedded credit derivative feature related to the transfer of credit risk that is only in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another is not subject to bifurcation from a host contract under ASC 815-15-25, Derivatives and Hedging Embedded Derivatives Recognition. All other embedded credit derivative features should be analyzed to determine whether their economic characteristics and risks are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and whether bifurcation is required. The ASU is effective for the Company on July 1, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB codified the consensus reached in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 08-09, Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition. FASB ASU No. 2010-17 provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research and development transactions. FASB ASU No. 2010-17 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved after the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on its financial statements on adoption on January 1, 2011.
A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to the consolidated statements.

NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY BALANCES AND TRANSCATIONS
Related Party Transactions
The Company leases one of its stores from Mr. Tao Wang under a four-year operating lease, expiring August 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, related party rent expense of $17,454 and $8,800, respectively, was included in total rent expense of the year.
The Company leases one of its warehouse buildings to Weidong Liang, brother-in-law of Mr. Tao Wang, for three years starting May 2008. Per the agreement, the lessee shall pay equal amount of advertising expense on behalf of the lessor as the lease payment. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded other income of $30,620 and $44,007, respectively, from leasing the aforementioned building and advertising expense of the same amount respectively.
Mr. Tao Wang entered into the contract with the Company to assume fiscal responsibilities for all tax liabilities recorded and potential penalties relating to all tax liabilities before December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, the assumed amount was $12,549,060, which mainly included VAT tax payable and income tax payable. However, these tax amounts transferred to Mr. Tao Wang were
12
never paid to the government. As a result, the historical financial statements of the Company were restated to reflect the Company as the primary obligor of the tax liabilities. According to PRC tax law, late or deficient tax payment could subject to significant tax penalty.
A long-term loan for $263,036, was issued in December 2009 by JMRB, with a 2 year repayment period and annual interest rate of 7.02%. The loan is guaranteed by the relative of Mr. Tao Wang, the Chief Executive Officer and major shareholder of the Company and is collateralized by the property of his relative.
On February 12, 2010, we issued 10,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred stock (Series A Preferred Stock) to the shareholders of Glory Reach. The total consideration for the 10,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock was 10,000 ordinary shares of Glory Reach, which is all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Glory Reach. The number of our shares issued to the shareholders of Glory Reach was determined based on an arms-length negotiation. The issuance of our shares to these shareholders was made in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. 722 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock was received by Belmont Partners, as an original shareholder in Glory Reach and 51 shares of Convertible Preferred stock were received by Joseph Passalaqua in return for allowing certain debts of the Registrant to be assumed by DT Communications.

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the accounting standards that 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. Additionally, the accounting standards require 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.
Accordingly, the net deferred tax asset related to the U.S. net operating loss carryforward has been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the Peoples Republic of China and the United States. In 2010 and 2009, under the Income Tax Laws of PRC, Chinese companies are generally subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. The Companys PRC subsidiaries are subject to these statutory rates. The Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, Glory Reach was incorporated in Hong Kong, and is subject to their income tax rules and regulations. Currently, the Companys management believes that they have no Hong Long liability as their Hong Kong subsidiary has conducted no operations in Hong Kong.
The Company is incorporated in the United States and has incurred an aggregate net operating loss of approximately $2,365,000 for income tax purposes through December 31, 2010, subject to the Internal Revenue Code Section 382, which places a limitation on the amount of taxable income that can be offset by net operating losses after a change in ownership. Such change in ownership might have occurred with the Companys reverse merger on February 12, 2010. The net operating loss carries forward for United States income taxes, and may be available to reduce future years taxable income. These carryforwards will expire, if not utilized, through 2030. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses appears not more than likely due to the Companys limited operating history and continuing losses for United States income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset benefit to reduce the asset to zero. Management will review this valuation allowance periodically and make adjustments as warranted.

The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning the private-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at a statutory rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriated tax adjustments in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

NOTE 13 - SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
During February 2010, upon the closing of the reverse merger, one of the shareholders transferred 338 of the 874 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to him under the share exchange to certain service providers of the Company. The underlining common shares were valued at $1.35 (post-reverse split common stock price) per share resulting in stock compensation expense of $442,611 for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company issued 10,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in February 2010 related to the reverse merger.
Shares of Series A Preferred Stock automatically convert into shares of common stock on the basis of one share of Series A Preferred Stock for 970 shares of common stock immediately. Upon the effectiveness of the reverse merger, the 10,000 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock had automatically converted into 9,700,000 shares of common stock, which constitutes 97% of the outstanding common stock of the Company subsequent to the reverse stock split.
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock vote with the holders of common stock on all matters on an as-converted to common stock basis, based on an assumed post 1-for-27 reverse split (to retroactively take into account the reverse stock split) on June 9, 2010.
Following the effectiveness of the Companys reverse stock split and conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into common stock, there were approximately 10,000,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
For accounting purposes, we treated the Series A Preferred Stock as being converted fully to common stock on a post reverse stock split basis.
14
The 1-for-27 Reverse Stock Split
The Companys board of directors unanimously approved the 1-for-27 reverse split of our issued and outstanding common stock. The reverse split reduced the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Companys common stock outstanding prior to the split. The reverse split increased the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Companys common stock subsequent to the split by triggering the automatic conversion of the Companys Series A Preferred Stock into 9,700,000 shares of common stock. The reverse split became effective on June 10, 2010, the date when the Company filed the amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, following the expiration of the 20 day period mandated by Rule 14c of the Exchange Act.
For accounting purposes, we treated the reverse stock split as being effective and all shares are retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split.
Common Stock Options
In March 2010, the Company granted common stock purchase options to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share to the Crone Law Group for services provided related to the reverse merger. The options are exercisable for three years after the issue dates of the options.

Issuance of Common Shares
On December 1, 2010, the Company issued 13,500 and 200,000 shares to the Crone Law Group and Richard E. Barsom in liu of compensation for the legal and investor relation service they provided. On December 21, 2010, the Company issued 25,000 shares to Belmont Partners LLC for the compensation to Joseph Meuse, the former CFO, 300,000 shares to Mr. Lanhai Sun for the consulting service he provided, and 75,000 shares to Aegis Capital for the financial service they provided.
In April 2011, the Companys board of directors deemed it advisable, and in the best interests of the Company, to issue the Crone Law Group or its designee 50,000 shares of the Companys common stock (market value per share of $0.42) for prior legal services.
On April 15, 2011, the Company issued 260,000 shares (market value per share of $0.42) to Lanhai Sun for his consulting services to be provided from April 1, 2011 to June 30, 2011, 600,000 shares (market value per share of $0.42) to Mr. Tao Wang for the services to be provided from April 1, 2011 to June 30, 2011 and 500,000 shares (market value per share of $0.42) to Mr. Chongliang Liu for his commission during April 1, 2011 to June 30, 2011.
On April 7, 2011, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend, whereby common stock shareholders shall receive restricted common shares equal to one and one half (1.5%) percent of each common stock shareholding as of the record date. The first quarterly dividend was payable to all common stock shareholders of record on May 16, 2011, with a payable date of May 23, 2011. The shares are to be restricted for a period of six months. Additionally, the Company announced that the board of directors approved the continuance of the dividend for each of the remaining quarters in 2011. Dates for the remaining dividends will be released as available.
Statutory Surplus Reserve
The Company is required to make appropriations to statutory surplus reserve, based on after-tax net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the PRC (the PRC GAAP). Appropriations to the statutory surplus reserve should be 10% of the after-tax net income determined in accordance with the PRC GAAP until the reserve equals 50% of the entities
15
registered capital or members equity. We appropriated $160,240 to the statutory surplus reserve in the year of 2010. As of June 30, 2011, the Companys statutory surplus reserve amounted to $160,240.
NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Tax Liabilities
The Company did not pay much of its significant value added tax liabilities and income tax liabilities, which amounted to $12,549,060.
The tax authority of the PRC Government conducts periodic and ad hoc tax filing reviews on business enterprises operating in the PRC after those enterprises had completed their relevant tax filings, hence the Companys tax filings may not be finalized. It is therefore uncertain as to whether the PRC tax authority may take different views about the Companys tax filings which may lead to additional tax liabilities.
Mr. Tao Wang entered into the contract with the Company to assume fiscal responsibilities for all tax liabilities recorded and potential penalties relating to all the tax liabilities before December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, the assumed amount was $12,549,060, which mainly included VAT tax payable and income tax payable. However, these tax amounts transferred to Mr. Tao Wang were never paid to the government. As a result, the historical financial statements of the Company were restated to reflect the Company as the primary obligor of the tax liabilities. According to PRC tax law, late or deficient tax payment could subject the Company to significant tax penalty.
NOTE 15 - OPERATING RISKS
(a) Country risk
The Company has significant investments in the PRC. The operating results of the Company may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC and by changes in Chinese government policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. The Company can give no assurance that those changes in political and other conditions will not result in a material adverse effect upon the Companys business and financial condition.
(b) Exchange risk
The Company cannot guarantee the Renminbi, US dollar exchange rate will remain steady, therefore the Company could post the same profit for two comparable periods and post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of Renminbi and US dollars. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in the political and economic environments without notice.
(c) Interest risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from short-term variable rate borrowings from time to time. The Companys future interest expense will fluctuate in line with any change in borrowing rates. The Company does not have any derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and believes its exposure to interest rate risk is not material.

Item 2.Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements that include the words believes, expects, anticipates, or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements concerning our expectations regarding our working capital requirements, financing requirements, business, growth prospects, competition and results of operations, and other statements of expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends, and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this Report on Form 10-Q for the year ended June 30, 2011, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained herein.
Throughout this report, the terms we, us, our company, our and Qingdao Footwear refer to the combined business of Qingdao Footwear, Inc., formerly Datone, Inc., and its wholly owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, (i) Glory Reach International Limited, or Glory Reach, a Hong Kong limited company; and (ii) Qingdao Hongguan Shoes Co., Ltd., a PRC limited company, or QHS, as the case may be.
Overview
We are a designer and retailer of branded footwear in Northern China. We were organized to service what we believe is an unmet and increasing demand for high quality formal and casual footwear throughout the PRC. We are focused on providing footwear that rises to the style, quality and comfort demands of a high-end consumer at affordable prices within reach of middle market office employees. Our products can be divided into mens and womens casual and formal footwear. Along with the growth in urbanization and individual purchasing power in China, the demand for leather footwear has also grown. Since our organization in 2003, we have grown rapidly throughout Shandong province, a province that has approximately one-third the numbers of people of the United States.
Our principal business includes (1) designing and selecting designs for mens and womens leather shoe lines; (2) sourcing and purchasing contract-manufactured footwear; and (3) selling these lines of footwear under our proprietary brand, Hongguan (sometimes presented as HonGung). We do not manufacture or assemble any shoes. We operate a number of flagship stores throughout greater Qingdao. Our products are also brought to market through our extensive distribution network of authorized independent distributors, as well as through third party retailers selected to operate exclusive Hongguan brand stores on our behalf. We believe that the sale of our products through distributors and third parties has enabled us to grow by exploiting their local retail expertise and economies of scale while minimizing our expenditure on fixed asset and human resources. Our Company headquarters and main sales office is located in Shandong province in northern China, in the city of Jimo, less than 25 miles from the major urban center of Qingdao.
Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial and Operational Results
Our financial results of operations have been and will continue to be affected by a number of factors, including but not limited to the following factors:
Growth in the Broader PRC Economy
Our financial condition and results of operations have been driven by macro-economic conditions, increased disposable income and consumer spending in the PRC. Since our formation, we have derived 100% of our income from operations in China. Along with growth in the economy as a whole, Chinese domestic consumption has increased in line with rapid urbanization and increases in disposable income over the past 15 years. Per capita urban disposable income has increased by an annualized rate of 12.9% over the 5 years ending in 2008, and is anticipated to top $2,000 in 2012. The urban population as a percentage of the total population increased from 40.6% in 2003 to 46.6% at the end of 2009, and this trend is expected to continue into the future (National Bureau of Statistics of China, www.stats.gov.cn). We expect that financial performance will continue to be driven by the positive trends in retail consumption, urbanization and increased consumer spending in the future.
Increased Consumer Demand for Leather Footwear Products in the PRC
Consumer demand for leather footwear products in the PRC is a key driver of our continued growth. The success of our enterprise depends in large part on the growth in the PRC consumer market, particularly consumer demand for high quality, affordable leather shoes. As average living standards in the PRC continue to improve and a larger percentage of employment opportunities become available in an urban office or service economy setting, we expect consumer demand in the PRC to shift increasingly towards footwear appropriate to such settings, such as fine leather footwear. While Chinese per capita footwear consumption is lower than a number of other countries, China surpassed the United States in 2008 as the country that purchases the most pairs of footwear in the aggregate. Because the average Chinese consumer purchases an average of two pairs of shoes annually, far fewer than consumption
17
levels in Korea, Japan or the West, Chinas shoe consumption rate is expected to approach levels of other nations with similar cultural consumption characteristics if Chinas consumer wealth continues to grow (Footwear in China, www.datamonitor.com). For this reason, we expect the market to continue to grow for the immediate future.
Management and Expansion of Our Distribution Network
The majority of our sales are derived through third party distributors. As such, management of our brand through and collection of receivables from these parties is paramount to our success and future growth. We manage our brand by controlling how our products are placed, selecting store locations and decoration, and other qualitative measures. We regularly visit and inspect third party stores in order to ensure they meet our high standards for appearance, quality and service.
In the past, we had managed receivables from our third parties by requiring full payment for goods within one month of delivery. Beginning with our sales fair in February 2010, we extended credit to certain distributors. These distributors were selected based on outstanding track records in both sales and timely payments. We extended this credit in order to enhance their ability to increase sales responsibly and reward them for past success and loyalty. The extension of credit allows these distributors to grow cost effectively in accordance with our goal of achieving greater penetration in the Shandong retail market. It also encourages them to purchase our new models of footwear. We monitor our receivables carefully and reserve the right to terminate contracts with any supplier whose payments are not timely. We have maintained strong and positive long term relationships with all the distributors that we extended credit periods to and have rarely encountered any difficulties on collection of accounts receivable and do not anticipate collection issues in the future. We encourage such timely repayment by maintaining regular communication with these distributors. Management believes that it has already taken adequate measures to ensure timely settlement by the distributors, and the extended credit period has not and will not materially adversely affected our liquidity or working capital.
Effective Cost Management and Quality Control in our Supply Chain
Our footwear is designed in house, but production of our footwear is entirely outsourced. To meet production requirements and to remain profitable, we must be able to count on our suppliers for quality product delivered in a timely manner at commercially reasonable prices. Therefore, it is vital to our success that we are able to maintain control of our supply chain. We believe that we will be able to offset a portion of any such increased costs through improvement of production efficiency and use of economies of scale. Historically, we have been successful in containing cost of goods sold as a percentage of total cost of sales. For 2009 and 2010, our cost of goods sold accounted for 57% and 55% of total sales, respectively. We seek to capitalize on overcapacity in the footwear manufacturing industry in the PRC and leverage our purchasing power to continue to obtain favorable prices from our major suppliers. Should costs increase in the markets from which we currently source products, we are confident that we will be able to find alternative footwear providers throughout Southeast Asia. We actively work with our suppliers to maintain quality and reserve the right to return goods that do not meet our standards.
Competitive Pricing Points and Attractive Product Designs
We have been able to maintain strong gross profit margins through competitive pricing of our products and effective cost management. To increase sales volumes, our pricing policy is to offer a range of products set at different price points with the aim of targeting different segments within the mid-range market. In order to maintain our price competitiveness and sales volumes, we review our pricing strategy regularly to make adjustments based on various factors, including the market response to existing recommended retail prices, the level of sales, the expected product margin on individual products, the prices of our competitors products and the anticipated market trends and expected demand from customers.
We pursue a variety of designs that offer a diversified product mix and provide a wide range of leather footwear styles to our customers, which we believe to be vital to attracting customers and to increasing our revenue. Our designers have historically produced more than 300 unique designs annually which vary by season and target demographic. We strive to find innovative styles and technologies to incorporate into our shoes and always meet the highest and most popular styles for our customers. In the coming years, we will monitor demand and adjust our products accordingly to maximize sales and profit.
Ability to Maintain Brand Recognition and Marketing Success
We believe that brand recognition drives consumer product selection. We will continue to invest our efforts in brand building and establishing Hongguan as a quality affordable footwear brand rising to the highest fashion standards while remaining within reach of a smaller budget consumer. We place great emphasis on our brand and promote Hongguan products through advertisements in the media, sales fairs and various other promotional activities. We intend to increase our marketing budgets for promotional activities in the future in order to further strengthen our brand and market position.

Net Sales
Our net sales increased to $8,300,187 in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $6,483,625 in the same period of 2010, representing 28% revenue growth. As retail sales trends and broader economic growth in the PRC have been positive despite a global economic downturn, during the three months ended June 30, 2011, we increased prices by 3% in order to achieve higher gross profit, which resulted in an increase in sales volume of 24.7% as compared to the same period of 2010.
Net sales from our wholesale operations increased $1,742,685, or 38.3%, to $6,293,359 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $4,550,674 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The average selling price per pair within our wholesale operations increased to $18.58 per pair for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $17.76 per pair in the same period last year, an increase of 5%, primarily due to acceptance of new designs and higher pricing of the products we promoted. Apart from the increase in our selling price, our sales volume also contributed a 32.2% increase, as compared to the same period of 2010.
Net sales from our retail operations increased $73,877 to $2,006,828 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, a 3.8% increase over sales of $1,932,951 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The average selling price per pair within our retail operations increased to $27.15 per pair for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $25.90 for the same period in 2010. Meanwhile, it resulted in a sales volume decrease of 0.9% to 74 thousand pairs of shoes during the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in our unit selling price was mainly the result of our sales strategy to promote more high-unit price products to the market to achieve higher gross profit. The number of our sales outlets increased from 9 as of June 30, 2010 to 13 as of June 30, 2011. The total size of our stores was 1,250 and 1,030 square meters as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The average size per store was 96 and 114 square meters as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The average size of our newly opened stores is 75 square meters, which is lower than our older stores due to limited available locations. Our sales volume per square meter per month was 5 and 6 pairs for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our sales volume per outlet per month was 5,687 and 8,291 pairs for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Cost of Sales
For the three months ended June 30, 2011, cost of sales amounted to $4,695,323 or approximately 57% of net revenues, as compared to cost of sales of $3,422,563 or approximately 53% of net revenues for the same period of 2010. The increase of cost of sales of 37% over the same period of 2010 was mainly caused by an increase in sales of 28%. The increase is mainly resulted from selling more high-unit price model products during this period, compared to more low priced products sold during the same period of 2010.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2011, increased $543,843 to $3,604,864 from $3,061,021 for the same period in 2010. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales, or gross margin, reduced 4% as the same period in 2010.
19
Gross profit for wholesale operations increased $543,378, or 28.2%, to $2,467,171 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $1,923,793 for the same period in 2010. Wholesale contributed margins of 39.2% and 42.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
Gross profit for retail operations increased $465, or 0.0%, to $1,137,693 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $1,137,228 for the same period in 2010. Retail margins decreased to 56.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from 58.8% for the same period in 2010. The increase of gross profit was mainly caused by increased unit selling prices and sales volume in retail operations as explained above.
Operating Expenses
Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $2,968,793 in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $443,454 in the same period in 2010. This was mainly due to the increase of sales commission.
Other Income & Interest Expense
Other income and interest expense decreased to ($27,662) in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $14,246 in the same period in 2010. This is mainly due to the increase of bank loans this year.
Income before Income Taxes
Our income before income taxes decreased to $608,409 in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $2,631,854 in the same period in 2010. The decrease was mainly due to increased operating expenses of sales commission.
Income Taxes
Income tax increased to $306,619 in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $657,964 in the same period in 2010. The increase was due to an increase in taxable income, as our tax rate remained constant.
Net Income/ (loss)
In the three months ended June 30, 2011, we generated net income of $301,790, a decrease from $1,973,890 in the same period in 2010. The decrease was mainly due to increased operating expenses of sales commission.

Net Sales
Our net sales increased to $13,748,451 in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $11,249,437 in the same period of 2010, representing 22% revenue growth. As retail sales trends and broader economic growth in the PRC have been positive despite a global economic downturn, during the six months ended June 30, 2011, we increased prices by 3% in order to achieve higher gross profit, which resulted in an increase in sales volume of 19%, as compared to the same period of 2010.
20
Net sales from our wholesale operations increased $1,952,439, or 23.0%, to $10,427,487 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $8,475,048 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The average selling price per pair within our wholesale operations increased to $18.49 per pair for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $18.04 per pair in the same period last year, an increase of 3%, primarily due to acceptance of new designs and higher pricing of the products we promoted. Apart from the increase of our selling price, our sales volume also contributed a 20% increase, as compared to the same period of 2010.However, it resulted in a sales volume increase of to 563 thousand pairs of shoes during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Net sales from our retail operations increased $546,575 to $3,320,964 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, a 19.7% increase over sales of $2,774,389 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The average selling price per pair within our retail operations increased to $27.62 per pair for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $26.24 for the same period in 2010. Apart from the increase of our selling price, our sales volume also contributed a 13.7% increase, as compared to the same period of 2010, which was mainly the result of an increase in the number of our sales outlets from 9 as of June 30, 2010, to 13 as of June 30, 2011. The increase in our unit selling price was mainly the result of our sales strategy to promote more high-unit price products to the market to achieve higher gross profit. The total size of our stores was 1,250 and 1,030 square meters as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The average size per store was 96 and 114 square meters as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The average size of our newly opened stores is 75 square meters which is lower than our older stores due to limited available locations. Our sales volume per square meter per month was 8 and 9 pairs for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our sales volume per outlet per month was 9,250 and 11,748 pairs for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Cost of Sales
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, cost of sales amounted to $7,732,028 or approximately 56% of net revenues as compared to cost of sales of $6,079,318 or approximately 54% of net revenues for the same period of 2010. The increase of cost of sales of 27% over the same period of 2010 was mainly caused by an increase in sales of 22%. The increase is mainly resulted from selling more high-unit price model products during this period, compared to more low price products sold during the same period of 2010.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2011, increased $846,212 to $6,016,423 from $5,170,119 for the same period in 2010. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales, or gross margin, reduced 2% as the same period in 2010.
Gross profit for wholesale operations increased $593,511, or 16.8%, to $4,127,212 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $3,533,701 for the same period in 2010. Wholesale contribute appropriately margins of 39.6% and 41.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
Gross profit for retail operations increased $252,701, or 15.4%, to $1,889,211 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $1,636,510 for the same period in 2010. Retail margins decreased to 56.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from 59.0% for the same period in 2010. The increase of gross profit was mainly caused by increased unit selling prices and sales volume in retail operations as explained above.
Operating Expenses
Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $3,449,551 in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $1,164,180 in the same period in 2010. This was mainly due to increase of sales commission.
Other Income & Interest Expense
Other income and interest expense decreased to ($24,525) in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $13,427 in the same period in 2010. This is mainly due to the increase of bank loans this year. Other income and interest expense is a negligible percentage of our revenue.
Income before Income Taxes
Our income before income taxes increased to $2,542,347 in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $4,019,366 in the same period in 2010. The decrease was mainly due to increased operating expenses of sales commission.
Income Taxes
Income tax increased to $783,637 in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $1,115,495 in the same period in 2010.
21
Net Income
In the six months ended June 30, 2011, we generated net income of $1,758,710, a decrease from $2,903,871 in the same period in 2010. This decrease was primarily due to increased operating expenses of sales commission.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $827,869, primarily consisting of cash on hand and demand deposits. This compares with December 31, 2010, when we had cash and cash equivalents of $49,325, primarily consisting of cash on hand and demand deposits. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statement periods presented in this report. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations and equity contributions by our shareholders. We do not expect our daily operations to be constrained by cash flow as we are currently able to fund our operations through our existing cash flow from operations. However, our future expansion plans (which include increasing the number of sales points, advertising actively, and increasing inventory) rely entirely on the completion of an offering of our common stock. If an offering is not completed then we will need to rely on organic growth or commercial loans to facilitate our expansion plans and we cannot guarantee that we will be successful at obtaining loans or growing organically at a rate sufficient to support our expansion plans.
The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,528,839 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $3,730,637 for the same period in 2010.
The cash provided by operating activities for the ended June 30, 2011, was mainly derived from our net profit of $1,758,710, offset by an increase of the prepayments of $804,506. The prepayment mainly represents payment during the period for advertising and long term leasing for our newly established outlets. These prepaid amounts are related to rent for operating stores, advertisement board and pole and landscaping maintenance contracts. These prepaid amounts are amortized based on the lease terms (for the prepaid rent), contracted terms for advertisement board and pole and contract terms for landscaping maintenance contract. The amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011, is $52,055. We may choose to lease or buy outlets in future. We may also continue to do advertising to promote our sales and increase our brand acceptance.
The cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010, was the result of net profit of $2,903,871, tax payable of $3,040,504 and offset a decrease in prepayments of $2,263,033.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was $604,406, as compared to $3,348,912 net cash used in investing activities during the same period of 2010. The cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2011, represents payment of $604,406 to acquire property and equipment. The cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2010,represents the loan made to other of $441,900, advance to related party of $117,840, cash paid for property and equipment of $130,127 and cash paid for land use right of $2,659,045.
22
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was nil, as compared to $41,243, used in the same period of 2010. The cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2010, represents distribution to owner of $483,143 and proceeds from loans of $441,900.
Bank loans
Our bank loans include short-term loans and long-term loans. In our industry, it is customary to obtain such loans to meet cash flow and inventory needs.
Short term loans of $1,810,305 as of June 30, 2011, were issued by Bank of Qingdao and JiMo Rural Bank, with annual interest rates ranging from 6.372% to 8.896%, and with terms of 12 months and 24 months which will mature in September, November and December 2011, respectively. All bank loans were secured either by the property of the Company or third parties.
Capital resources
We believe that our cash on hand and cash flow from operations will meet part of our present cash needs and we will require additional cash resources, to meet our expected capital expenditure and working capital for the next 12 months. We may, however, in the future, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions, implementation of our strategy to ramp up our marketing efforts and increase brand awareness, or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.
Inflation
Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future. However, our management will closely monitor the price change in the industry and continually maintain effective cost control in operations.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.
Seasonality
We may experience seasonal fluctuations in our revenue in some regions in the PRC, based on the seasonal changes in the weather and the tendency of customers to make purchases relating to their apparel suitable for the time of year. Any seasonality may cause significant pressure on us to monitor the development of materials accurately and to anticipate and satisfy these requirements. Our revenues are usually higher in the first and fourth quarters due to seasonal purchases.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial conditions and results of operations and require managements difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from managements current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements:
23
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenues from the retail and wholesale of shoes. Sales revenues are recognized when the following four revenue criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales are presented net of value added tax (VAT). No return allowance is made as product returns have been insignificant in all periods.
Retail sales are recognized at the point of sale to customers. Wholesales to our contracted customers are recognized as revenue at the time the product is shipped and title passes to the customer on an FOB shipping point basis. Wholesale prices are predetermined and fixed based on contractual agreements. We do not allow any discounts, credits, rebates or similar privileges.
We do not grant any inventory pricing protection or other inventory adjusting policies to our distributors. The distributors are responsible for their purchased products types and volumes, unless any quality problems arise. If quality issues arise with our products, the products will be fully replaced by our manufacturers in accordance with the purchase agreement. As a result, we recognize our sales on delivery of our products to our wholesalers. For the retail customers, we only allow returns due to quality problems. We do not permit returns based on any other reason, and we do not believe such liberal return policies are common in China. Should there be any quality defects; customers have the right to return the shoes to the stores from which they purchased them. The stores then return them to our company, and we negotiate an acceptable solution with the manufacturers, which tend to vary with the facts in each case. According to our historical data, such returns are at approximately 0.01% of total sales and are not material to our financial statements.
In light of the low level of revenue dilution, we do not generally assess returns of products, levels of inventory, expected introductions of new products or external sources.
We have not experienced any purchases of products in excess of ordinary course of business levels as a result of any incentives. In our experience, customers merely purchase their seasonal footwear needs more quicklybut not in greater numbersthan they might otherwise purchase in the absence of such incentives. This result is not surprising in an industry like the footwear industry, which is marked by seasonal sales on, for example, sandals during summer and boots during winter. As a result of such seasonal fluctuations, our customers endeavor not to maintain excessive inventory but do try to purchase seasonally-specific shoes shortly before the season.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of unpaid balances due from the whole-sale customers. Such balances generally are cleared in the subsequent month when the whole-sale customers place another order. The Company does not provide an allowance for doubtful accounts because the Company has not experienced any credit losses in collecting these amounts from whole-sale customers.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for impairment of property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets in accordance with ASC 360, Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, which requires the Company to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability when there is an event or circumstance that indicates the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable (when the carrying amount exceeds the gross, undiscounted cash flows from use and disposition) and is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over the assets (or asset groups) fair value. There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Inventories
Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis and includes all expenditures incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale and putting them in a salable condition. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, the management makes judgments as to future demand requirements compared to current or committed inventory levels. Our reserve requirements generally increase as our projected demand requirements; or decrease due to market
24
conditions and product life cycle changes. The Company estimates the demand requirements based on market conditions, forecasts prepared by its customers, sales contracts and orders in hand.
In addition, the Company estimates net realizable value based on intended use, current market value and inventory ageing analyses. The Company writes down inventories for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventories and their estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.
Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 220 Reporting Comprehensive Income which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances in a full set of general purpose financial statements.
ASC 220 defines 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, including adjustments to minimum pension liabilities, accumulated foreign currency translation, and unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities. The Companys other comprehensive income arose from the effect of foreign currency translation adjustments.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys functional currency is Chinese Renminbi (RMB) and its reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar at exchange rate in effect on the date of the transactions. Exchange gains or losses on transaction are included in earnings.
The financial statements of the Company are translated into United States dollars in accordance with the provisions of ASC 830 Foreign Currency Matters, using the year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses and historical rates for the equity. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income.
Segment Reporting
We operate as a single operating segment for purposes of presenting financial information and evaluating performance. As such, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present financial information in a format that is consistent with the internal financial information used by management. We do not accumulate operating expenses by wholesale and retail operations and, therefore, it is impractical to present such information.
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys principal executive officer (CEO) and principal financial officer (CFO), evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
25
