FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

     This Annual Report on Form 10-KSB contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Federal securities laws, about our business and prospects, including without limitation statements regarding our expected revenues and revenue growth rate in 2005. The forward-looking statements do not include the potential impact of any mergers, acquisitions, divestitures or business combinations that may be completed after the date hereof. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes,” “plans,” “intends,” “expects,” “goals” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Our future results may differ materially from our past results and from those projected in the forward-looking statements due to various uncertainties and risks, including those described in the section of this report titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations–Factors That May Affect Future Results.” We disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained herein after the date of this Annual Report.

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Recent Developments

     On March 11, 2005, Tsan-Kuen Wu resigned from his positions as our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, amidst two criminal proceedings involving alleged securities law violations and fraud in Taiwan. Mr. Wu is also the founder and Chairman of TKE. In one proceeding, Mr. Wu was convicted, on December 31, 2004, of manipulating the stock price of Sunfar Computer Co., Ltd. and sentenced to prison for 1 1/2 years. In the second on-going proceeding, on November 11, 2004, Mr. Wu was indicted on charges of publicly offering shares of common stock of EUPA without first obtaining the necessary governmental approvals and securities fraud. The resolution of these legal proceedings, in addition to the negative publicity generated from these legal proceedings, may have a material impact on our business, liquidity and net income.

     On March 11, 2005, Yuan-Chang Tsai was elected to our Board of Directors and as our President and Chief Executive Officer. Since August 1983, Mr Tsai had served as Sales Manager of TKE. Although we cannot provide any assurances regarding future trends, based on our current views, we are cautiously optimistic about our prospects in 2005.

Business Development

     EUPA International Corporation, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tsann Kuen U.S.A., an Illinois corporation (“TK USA”), provides sales and customer support, product design, research and development, and patent administration services to Tsann Kuen Enterprise Co., Ltd., a corporation organized and existing in the Republic of China (“TKE”), and owner of approximately 67% of EUPA’s capital stock. TKE is a major designer, manufacturer and marketer of small home and kitchen appliances, motor-driven products, vacuum cleaners and other consumer electronic products for brand name distributors worldwide.

     EUPA, formerly named Access Network Corporation (“ANC”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 8, 1998. ANC engaged in the business of marketing and selling gift packaging to small businesses and individuals as an independent sales agent for direct marketing entities. In October 2001, ANC changed its name to EUPA, acquired all of the stock of TK USA from TKE and changed its business to the business conducted by TK USA since TK USA’s formation in 1990.

     In October 2001, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Union Channel Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Union”), to be an outsourcing supplier of TKE products for TKE’s clients in Asia and Europe. Union’s operations were terminated in the third quarter of 2002 and the corporation was dissolved in November 2004. Since then, we have focused our business on providing services to TKE and its subsidiaries Tsann Kuen China (Shanghai) Enterprises Ltd. (“TKS”), Tsann Kuen (Zhangzhou) Enterprise Co. Ltd. (“TKL”) and Tsann Kuen (China) Enterprise Co., Ltd. (“TKC”), each of which are corporations organized and existing in the Republic of China (“China”).

     Our business is structured around developing and promoting TKE’s products, primarily in the U.S. Our activities include acting as an information center for TKE and its products, conducting market research, designing products and enhancements, performing research and development of products, cultivating and supporting relationships with brand name distributors and other customers and increasing U.S. product sales. We also provide sales and customer support services to each of TKS, TKL and TKC.

Principal Services

     Our principal business is acting as facilitator for the development and promotion of TKE’s products in the United States (“U.S.”). Our activities include acting as the information center for TKE and its products, conducting market research, designing products and enhancements, performing research and development of products, cultivating and supporting relationships with brand name distributors and other customers and increasing U.S. sales. TK USA also provides sales and customer support services to TKS, TKL and TKC.

Competition

     The small electronic products industry is highly competitive. Our competitive position involves assisting TKE to offer a broad range of products and continually introduce new products and enhancements to existing products. Competitive factors include market presence, price, quality, design and product features and performance, innovation and service. We believe that we have a number of competitive advantages, including our emphasis on research and development and product design and innovation.

Dependence on Customers

     As our business is focused on providing services to TKE and its subsidiaries TKL, TKS and TKC, we are dependent on TKE and its subsidiaries TKL, TKS and TKC for our business.

2


 

Patents

     We own numerous patents for various TKE products and processes. We consider these patents to be of considerable value and material importance to our business.

Governmental Regulations

     Most of TKE’s products are subject to consumer products safety regulations in the jurisdictions where they are sold. In general, we have not experienced difficulty complying with such regulations and compliance has not had an adverse effect on our business.

Employees

     As of December 31, 2004, the Company employed 7 employees, all in the U.S. None of EUPA’s employees are represented by a labor union, and we have never suffered an interruption of business as a result of a labor dispute. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.

Available Information

     Our annual reports on Form 10-KSB, quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are available as soon as reasonably practical after such reports are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). All of these documents are available in print without charge to shareholders upon request. Our SEC filings are available to the public over the Internet at the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov. You may also read and copy any document we file at the SEC’s public reference rooms in Washington, D.C. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the public reference room.

ITEM 2. PROPERTY

     Our corporate offices are located at 89 N. San Gabriel Blvd, Pasadena, California. We own the 44,762 square foot building. We occupy 31,582 square feet of the property and lease approximately 7080 square feet of the property to a non-EUPA business. We believe that our facility is suitable and adequate for our present purposes. We believe that our property is adequately covered by insurance.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     On November 30, 2001, Mir Kazem Kashani filed a complaint against TKE and certain of its affiliates, including TK USA, alleging breach of contract and damages of approximately $10,750,000 in connection with the sale in Iran of products by TKS. On February 5, 2003, the court granted the defendants’ summary judgment motion and entered judgment for TKE and its affiliates. On August 22, 2003, the plaintiff filed an appeal with the Court of Appeals of the State of California. On May 11, 2004, the Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment for TKE and its affiliates. The time for plaintiff to seek review of the judgment has expired.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, no matters were submitted to a vote of security holders.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the range of high and low closing bid quotations for each quarter during the last two fiscal years. The quotations set forth below reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

     We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not expect to pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for our business. The payment of any future dividends on our common stock will be determined by our Board of Directors and will depend on business conditions, our financial earnings and other factors.

Recent Sale of Unregistered Securities

     For the three year period ending December 31, 2004, we did not sell any securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which appear elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The information contained in this MD&A, other than historical information, contains “forward looking statements” within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions. Actual future results could differ materially. This MD&A should also be read in conjunction with the sections entitled “Additional Factors That May Affect Future Results” and “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

     Our revenues are derived from charging TKE, TKS, TKL and TKC fees for specific services provided to them by us based on the fully-burdened costs we incur in providing these services plus a percentage mark-up. Our fully-burdened costs include salaries and other personnel expenses, such as travel and travel-related expenses, operating and overhead expenses, such as office space, administrative services, office supplies and equipment. Our costs are allocated among TKE, TKS, TKL and TKC on a reasonable cost allocation basis.

Results of Operations

     The following table presents certain consolidated statement of operations information stated as a percentage of total revenues. Certain columns may not add due to rounding.

                 
    2004     2003  
Total Revenue
  $ 915,456     $ 960,462  
Selling Expense
    11,591       7,307  
General Expense
    1,090,325       952,318  
Income (loss) from operations
  $ (186,460 )   $ 837  

Revenue from Fee Income

     In 2004, revenue from fee income was $915,456, down from $960,462 in 2003. The decrease in fee income was attributed to the decrease in the amount of sales and customer support, research and development and patent fiduciary administration services provided to TKE, TKS, TKL and TKC.

     In 2004 and 2003, research and development service fees charged to TKE were $92,286 and $187,998, respectively, and patent fiduciary and administration service fees were $34,881 and $26,373, respectively.

     In 2004 and 2003, sales and customer support fees charged to TKS, TKL and TKC were $787,744 and $745,805, respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses

     General and administrative expenses were $1,090,325 for 2004 compared with $952,318 for 2003. These expenses included accounting fees, amortization and depreciation expenses, wages and salaries and legal professional service expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses was largely attributed to the increase in general expenses incurred for business travel and delivery. The loss from operations was $(186,460) and $837 for 2004 and 2003, respectively, which was a result of the decrease in the amount of sales and customer support, research and development and patent fiduciary administration services provided to TKE in 2004, and the increase in general and administrative expenses.

     Non-operating income for 2004 was $581,747 compared with $73,381 for 2003. Included in non-operating income was $2,957 of interest income, $60,668 of rental income, $1,061 of other income and $517,061 of liquidating distribution income in 2004. During 2003, there was $5,157 of interest income, $64,325 of rental income, and $3,908 of other income. There was $1,600 and $7,040 in income tax expenses recognized on our pre-tax income for 2004 and 2003, respectively.

     In 2004 we realized a net income of $475,163 compared to a net income of $77,776 in 2003. The increase in net income was a result of a liquidating distribution of $517,060 received from Union.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Our primary source of liquidity is our cash on hand. Net cash used in operations in 2004 was $95,760, as compared to net cash used in operations of $2,100,417 in 2003. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was a result of the significant reduction in accounts receivable. Our cash and cash equivalents were $828,091 and $971,093 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our current assets totaled $1,130,434 and $1,304,694 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our current liabilities were $93,993 and $286,893 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Working capital was $1,036,441 and $1,017,801 in 2004 and 2003, respectively.

5


 

     Net cash used in investing activities totaled $44,767 in 2004, which consisted of the costs associated with obtaining patent rights and fixed assets compared with $79,088 in 2003.

Cash Flow

     Our cash needs are currently met by our cash on hand, primarily because of the long lag time for payment of our accounts receivable. We believe we will be able to continue to meet our anticipated working capital requirements through a combination of cash on hand and revenues from service fees as our accounts receivable are paid. From time to time, primarily because of our accounts receivable lag time, our daily operations are supported by advances from TKE. These advances are offset from our fee revenues. We believe that our current financial resources are sufficient to finance our operations for at least the next twelve months. Our actual working capital needs will depend upon numerous factors, including our operating results, competition, and the availability of monies from TKE, none of which can be predicted with certainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

     We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have not established any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.

Additional Factors That May Affect Future Results

     The following risk factors and other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or which we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows could be materially adversely affected. We disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained herein after the date of this Annual Report.

Risks Relating to Resignation of Tsan-Kuen Wu

     On March 11, 2005, Tsan-Kuen Wu resigned from his positions as our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Wu is involved in two criminal proceedings involving allegations of securities law violations in China. On November 11, 2004, Mr. Wu was indicted on charges of publicly offering shares of common stock of EUPA without first obtaining the necessary Taiwanese governmental approvals and securities fraud. On December 31, 2004, Mr. Wu was convicted of manipulating the stock price of Sunfar Computer Co., Ltd. and sentenced to prison for 1 1/2 years. Mr. Wu’s prison sentence was suspended pending the outcome of a final appeal which can take two or more years to resolve. We believe that the resolution of these legal proceedings, and resulting negative publicity, may negatively impact our business. However, Mr. Wu currently has no plans to resign from his position as chairman of TKE, and, as TKE’s management is not dependent on Mr. Wu, we do not expect the impact of Mr. Wu’s indictment to significantly impact TKE’s business.

Negative Publicity May Adversely Affect Our Business

     As a result of the indictments and conviction, TKE and EUPA could become the subject of negative publicity. This negative publicity could bring regulatory scrutiny upon us. Continuing negative publicity for TKE, as well as for us, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity and the market price of our publicly traded securities.

TKE Controls Our Business

     TKE owns more than 50% of our outstanding capital stock. As a result, TKE is able to control our business and affairs and our board of directors. The interests of TKE may not necessarily be consistent with the interests of our other investors.

We Are Dependent On TKE for Our Sales and Other Revenues and Capital Requirements

     As TKE is our sole customer, any changes in its business, financial condition or liquidity could have a material impact on our ability to operate our business.

6


 

Many of Our Employees Also Perform Services for TKE Which Could Result In Their Attention Being Diverted From Our Business

     Our success will depend, to some degree, on the efforts of our employees. Many of our officers and employees are also employed by TKE. As a result, their full time, attention and energies are not directed exclusively to our business. If the attention of our officers is diverted from our business, we may not be able to realize our full potential.

If We Do Not Develop and Introduce New TKE Products, Our Ability to Grow Will Be Limited

     We believe that our future success will depend in part upon our ability to continue to develop innovative designs in the products manufactured by TKE and to develop and market new products. We may not be successful in introducing or supplying any new products or product innovations to TKE’s which will satisfy customer needs or achieve market acceptance. The failure to develop products and introduce them successfully and in a timely manner could harm our ability to grow our business.

A Slowdown in the Retail Industry Will Likely Have an Adverse Effect on Our Results

     TKE products are ultimately sold to consumers through major retail channels, primarily mass merchandisers, department stores, specialty stores and mail order catalogs. Changes in general economic conditions will cause reductions in demand among consumers and retailers for TKE’s products. As a result, our business and financial results will fluctuate with the financial condition of retail customers and the retail industry.

We Face the Effects of Intense Competition

     The market segments in which TKE competes are intensely competitive, and TKE has many competitors, including the manufacturing and retail services industries. Many of TKE’s current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition, and significantly greater financial, marketing, and other resources than TKE has. They may be able to secure comparable merchandise from vendors on more favorable terms and may be able to adopt more aggressive pricing policies. Competitors in the manufacturing industry may be able to devote more resources to new product introductions, features and enhancements, and research and development. Competitors in the retail industry also may be able to devote more resources to sales and marketing. Any negative impact on TKE’s business will have a negative impact on our business.

Compliance with Governmental Regulations Could Increase Our Operating Costs and Interfere with Our Business Efforts

     Most federal, state and local authorities require certification by Underwriters Laboratory, Inc., an independent, not-for-profit corporation engaged in the testing of products for compliance with certain public safety standards, or other safety regulation certification prior to marketing electrical appliances. Foreign jurisdictions also have regulatory authorities overseeing the safety of consumer products. TKE products, or additional electrical appliances which we may develop, may not meet the specifications required by these authorities. A determination that our products are not in compliance with these rules and regulations could result in the imposition of fines or awards of damages to private litigants.

We May Experience Significant Fluctuations in Our Operating Results and Rate of Growth

     Due to our limited operating history, our evolving business model, and the unpredictability of our industry, we may not be able to accurately forecast our rate of growth. We base our current and future expense levels and our investment plans on estimates of future net sales and rate of growth. Our expenses and investments are to a large extent fixed. We may not be able to adjust our spending quickly enough if our net sales fall short of our expectations.

     Our revenue and operating profit growth depends on the continued growth of demand for the products offered by TKE, and our business is affected by general economic and business conditions throughout the world. A softening of demand, whether caused by changes in consumer preferences or a weakening of the U.S. or global economies, may result in decreased revenue or growth. Terrorist attacks and armed hostilities create economic and consumer uncertainty that could adversely affect our revenue or growth. Such events could create delays in, and increase the cost of, product shipments, which may decrease demand. Revenue may not be sustainable and may decrease in the future.

7


 

     Our sales and operating results will also fluctuate for many other reasons, including our ability to retain and increase sales to existing customers, attract new customers, and satisfy our customers’ demands; the introduction by our competitors of products, services, or improvements; and seasonal fluctuations in the retail industry.

The Loss of Key Senior Management Personnel Could Negatively Affect Our Business

     We depend on the continued services and performance of our senior management and other key personnel. The loss of any of our executive officers or other key employees, including, but not limited to, Mr. Wu, could harm our business.

We May Not Be Able to Adequately Protect Our Intellectual Property Rights or May Be Accused of Infringing Intellectual Property Rights of Third Parties

     We regard our patents, trade secrets, proprietary technology, and similar intellectual property as critical to our success, and we rely on patent law, trade secret protection, and confidentiality agreements with our employees, TKE, and other rights granted to us under international, federal and state statutory and common law, to protect our proprietary rights. We may be unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon or diminish the value of our proprietary rights.

     Policing unauthorized use of our proprietary rights is inherently difficult, and we may not be able to determine the existence or extent of any such unauthorized use. The protection of our intellectual property may require the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. Moreover, we cannot be certain that the steps we take to protect our intellectual property will adequately protect our rights or that others will not independently develop or otherwise acquire equivalent or superior technology or other intellectual property rights.

     Other parties may claim that we infringed their proprietary rights. Such claims, whether or not meritorious, may result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources, injunctions against us or the imposition of damages that we must pay. We may need to obtain licenses from third parties who allege that we have infringed their rights, but such licenses may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.

We May Be Subject to Product Liability Claims if People or Property Are Harmed by the Products We Sell

     Some of the products we sell may expose us to product liability claims relating to personal injury, death, or property damage caused by such products, and may require us to take actions such as product recalls. Although we maintain liability insurance, we cannot be certain that our coverage will be adequate for liabilities actually incurred or that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all.

Forward-Looking Statements

     This Annual Report on Form 10-KSB includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact, made in this Annual Report Form 10-KSB are forward-looking. We use words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “future,” “intends,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ materially for a variety of reasons, including, among others, the rate of growth of the economy in general, customer spending patterns, changes in customer demand for TKE’s products, effectiveness of marketing programs, our success in designing and developing products, our research and development costs, the length of development and product acceptance cycles, world events, the amount that we invest in new business opportunities and the timing of those investments, competition, the degree to which we enter into commercial agreements and strategic transactions and maintain and develop commercial relationships, foreign exchange risks, seasonality, international growth and expansion and changes in laws and regulations. These risks and uncertainties, as well as other risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ significantly from management’s expectations, are described in greater detail in “Additional Factors That May Affect Future Results,” which, along with the previous discussion, describes some, but not all, of the factors that could cause actual results to differ significantly from management’s expectations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of

8


 

contingent assets and liabilities. A summary of the critical accounting policies and the judgments that we make in the application of those policies is presented in Note B to our consolidated financial statements.

RECENTLY ISSUED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (FAS 123R), “Share-based Payment.” FAS 123R requires compensation costs related to share-based payments to be recognized in the income statement over the vesting period. The amount of the compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the instrument issued. FAS 123R is effective as of July 1, 2005, for all awards granted or modified after that date and for those awards granted prior to that date that have not vested. FAS 123R will have no earnings impact on us because we expense all share-based payments in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123R.

Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Board of Directors

EUPA International Corporation and Subsidiaries
Pasadena, California

We have audited the consolidated statements of financial position of EUPA International, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations and stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Union Channel, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total assets and revenues of 0% and 0% for 2004 and 21% and 0% for 2003, of the related consolidated totals. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Union Channel, Ltd., is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit and the report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of the other auditor, the 2004 and 2003 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EUPA International, Inc. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and International auditing guidelines.

EUPA International Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2004 and 2003

NOTE A Organization:

      EUPA International Corporation (“EUPA”), was incorporated on September 8, 1998 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Tsann Kuen U.S.A. (“TK USA”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois in June 1990. Union Channel Limited (“Union”) was incorporated in Hong Kong on September 28, 2001.
 
      On October 23, 2001, TK USA became a wholly owned subsidiary of EUPA through a reverse merger. EUPA acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of TK USA from Tsann Kuen Enterprise Co., Ltd. (“TKE”) Pursuant to an Exchange Agreement dated as of October 10, 2001 by and among TKE, TK USA and EUPA (the “Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, TK USA became a wholly owned subsidiary of EUPA and, in exchange for the TK USA shares; EUPA issued 12,000,000 shares of its common stock to TKE, representing 60% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of EUPA at that time. Prior to the merger, EUPA had nominal business activity. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003 TKE owns approximately 67% of the issued and outstanding stock of EUPA.
 
      TK USA is a service company providing sales and customer support, product design, research and development, and patent administration services to TKE, Tsann Kuen China (Shanghai) Enterprise Co., Ltd. (“TKS”), Tsann Kuen China (Zhangzhoui) Enterprise Co., Ltd. (“TKL”), and Tsann Kuen (China) Enterprise Co., Ltd. (“TKC”).
 
      Union was established to become the leading outsource supplier for TKE in Asia and Europe. Union had sales and purchasing arrangements with TKE, TKC, and TKS. TKC, TKL and TKS are subsidiaries of TKE. The activities of Union were discontinued in the third quarter of 2002 and the Company officially dissolved operations as of November 6, 2004.

Note B Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

      Basis of Consolidation:

      The consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2004 and 2003 include the accounts of EUPA and its wholly owned subsidiaries TK USA and Union. All references herein to the Company include the consolidated results of EUPA and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transaction have been eliminated upon consolidation.

NOTE B Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

      Revenue Recognition:

      Revenues from sales and customer support services, patent fiduciary and administration services and research and development services are recognized at the ended of each quarter for services performed during that calendar quarter.

      Cash and Cash Equivalents:

      For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less which are not securing any corporate obligations.

      Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

      The Company provides an allowance for loss on receivables based on a review of the current status of existing receivables, historical collection experience, subsequent collections and management’s evaluation of the effect of existing economic conditions.

      Property and Equipment:

      Property and Equipment are carried at cost. Property additions and betterments are charged to the property accounts, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Whenever an asset is retired or disposed of, its cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is credited or charges to income.
 
      Depreciation is computed using the straight-line and declining-balance methods over the following estimated useful lives:

     
Building and improvements
  15 to 60 years
Automobiles
  4 to 6 years
Machinery and equipment
  5 to 12 years
Furniture and fixtures
  7 years

      Intangible Assets:

      Effective July 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The adoption of SFAS No. 142 required an initial impairment assessment involving a comparison of the fair value of trademarks, patents and other intangible assets to current carrying value. No impairment loss was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.
 
      Trademarks and other intangible assets determined to have indefinite useful lives are not amortized. We test such trademarks and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. Trademarks and other intangible assets determined to have definite lives are amortized over their useful lives or the life of the trademark and other intangible asset, whichever is less.

      Exchange Gain (Loss):

      During 2004 and 2003, the transactions of Union, denominated in foreign currency, are recorded in Hong Kong dollars at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Exchange gains and losses are recognized for the different foreign exchange rates applied when the foreign currency assets and liabilities are settled.

NOTE B Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

      Translation Adjustment:

      As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the accounts of Union were maintained, and its financial statements were expressed, in Hong Kong dollars. Such financial statements were translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation,” with the Hong Kong dollar as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate, stockholder’s equity are translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.”
 
      As of November 6, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the exchange rates between the Hong Kong dollar and the U.S. dollar was HK$1=US$0.1286 and US$0.1288 and the average exchange rate for the period ended November 6, 2004 and December 31, 2003 was HK$1=US$0.12836 and US$0.12845. Total translation adjustment recognized as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 is ($532) and $1,943 respectively.

      Use of Estimates:

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) of America 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

      The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including accounts receivable (trade and related party), notes receivable and accounts payable (trade and related party), and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The amounts owed for long-term debt and revolving credit facility also approximate fair value because interest rates and terms offered to the Company are at current market rates.

      Statement of Cash Flows:

      In accordance with SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations is based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

      Concentration of Credit Risk:

      Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. However, cash balances have exceeded the FDIC insured levels at various times during the year and at year-end. The Company has a diversified customer base, most of which are related parties. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.

December 31, 2004 and 2003

NOTE B Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

      Stock Based Compensation:

      The Company accounts for employee stock options in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion “(APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under APB 25, the Company recognizes no compensation expense related to employee stock options, as no options are granted at a price below market price on the date of grant.
 
      In 1996, SFAS No 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” became effective for the Company. SFAS No. 123, which prescribes the recognition of compensation expense based on the fair value of options on the grant date, allows companies to continue applying APB 25 if certain pro forma disclosures are made assuming hypothetical fair value method, for which the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For non-employee stock based compensation the Company recognizes an expense in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and values the equity securities based on the fair value of the security on the date of grant. For stock-based awards the value is based on the market value for the stock on the date of grant and if the stock has restrictions as to transferability a discount is provided for lack of tradability. Stock option awards are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model where applicable or alternatively a book value approach. During the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company recognized consulting expenses of $22,000, in each year, for the granting of stock options to non-employees.

      Income Taxes:

      Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements.
 
      Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
 
      Types of temporary differences for which deferred taxes have been recognized occur from the difference between book and tax depreciation, amortization and allowance reserves. During the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 there were no material differences.

      Comprehensive Income:

      SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. During 2004 and 2003, the Company has other comprehensive income relating to foreign currency translations.

      Earnings Per Share:

      The Company uses SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” for calculating the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include common stock equivalents as if the potential common shares had been issued.

December 31, 2004 and 2003

NOTE B Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

      Derivative Instruments:

      In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 133 requires the Company to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value. It further provides criteria for derivative instruments to be designated as fair value, cash flow and foreign currency hedges and establishes respective accounting standards for reporting changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments. Upon adoption, the Company was required to adjust hedging instruments to fair value in the balance sheet and recognize the offsetting gains or losses as adjustments to be reported in net income or other comprehensive income, as appropriate. For the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company had no derivative instruments.

      Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of:

      The Company adopted the provision of SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of.” This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair values of the assets. In assessing the impairment of these identifiable intangible assets, identifiable goodwill will be allocated on a pro rata basis using fair values of the assets at the original acquisition date. In estimating expected future cash flows for determining whether an asset is impaired and if expected future cash flows are used in measuring assets that are impaired, assets will be grouped at the lowest level (entity level) for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. In recording an impairment loss, any related goodwill would be reduced to zero before reducing the carrying amount of any identified impaired asset.
 
      For goodwill not identifiable with an impaired asset, the Company will establish benchmarks at the lowest level (entity level) as its method of assessing impairment. In measuring impairment, unidentifiable goodwill will be considered impaired if the fair value at the lowest level is less than its carrying amount. The fair value of unidentifiable goodwill will be determined by subtracting the fair value of the recognized net asset at the lowest level (excluding goodwill) from the value at the lowest level. The amount of the impairment loss should be equal to the difference between the carrying amount of goodwill and the fair value of goodwill. In the event that impairment is recognized, appropriate disclosures would be made.

NOTE B Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

      New Accounting Pronouncements:

In January 2003, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN46”). This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, requires companies to consolidate the operations of all variable interest entities (“VIE’s”) for which they are the primary beneficiary. The term “primary beneficiary” is defined as the entity that will absorb a majority of expected losses, receive a majority of the expected residual returns, or both. This interpretation was later revised by the issuance of Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN 46R”). The revision was issued to address certain implementation issues that had arisen since the issuance of the original interpretation and to provide companies with the ability to defer the adoption of FIN46 to period after March 15, 2004. The implementation of FIN No. 46 and FIN 46R, had no material impact on our financial statements.

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values, beginning with the first interim or annual period after June 15, 2005. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. We are required to adopt SFAS 123R in its three months ending September 30, 2005. Under SFAS 123R, we must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments, the amortization method for compensation cost and the transition method to be used at date of adoption. The transition methods include prospective and retroactive adoption options. Under the retroactive options, prior periods may be restated either as of the beginning of the year of adoption or for all periods presented. The prospective method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted stock at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of SFAS 123R, while the retroactive methods would record compensation expense for all unvested stock options and restricted stock beginning with the first period restated. We are evaluating the requirements of SFAS 123, and we expect that the adoption of SFAS 123R will have no material impact on our financial statements.

In September 2004, the EITF Issue No. 04-08, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share,” (“EITF 04-08”) was issued stating that contingently convertible debt should be included in diluted earnings per share computations regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. EITF Issue No. 04-08 is effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004. The adopted EITF 04-08 will have no material impact on our financial statements.

      Reclassification:

Certain amounts have been reclassified in prior years to be consistent with the classification as of December 31, 2004.

NOTE E Incentive and Non Statutory Stock Option Plan:

      The 2001 Plan
 
      In October 2001, the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan providing for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to the Company’s key employees and others. Incentive stock options may be granted at prices not less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of the grant. Non-qualified stock options may be granted at prices not less than 75% of the fair market value at the date of the grant. The Company has not granted any options pursuant to this Plan during 2004 and 2003.
 
      Non-Employee Options
 
      In December 2001, the Company issued an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.001, vesting over a period of five years. The options were issued in exchange for future ongoing marketing services to be rendered to the Company. The per unit weighted-average fair value of unit options granted was $0.11 at the date of grant using a book value approach. The book value approach best estimated the value of the services to be provided. During the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company recognized consulting expenses of $22,000 in each year, for the granting of stock options to non-employees.

NOTE F Earnings Per Share:

      Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Other obligations, such as stock options, are considered to be potentially dilutive common shares. Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period and adjust for any changes in income and the repurchase of common shares that would have occurred from the assumed issuance unless such effect is anti-dilutive.

NOTE H Operating Segments:

      Since January 1, 2003 the Company has organized its business units in two reportable segments: sales and customer support, and research and development. The sales and customer support segment assisted with the product sales of home appliances, for TKE, TKS, TKL and TKC in the United States. The research and development segment designs and develops products in the home appliance market for TKE.
 
      The segments’ accounting policies are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before interest, amortization of intangibles, corporate activities and income taxes.
 
      The reportable business segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. Each segment is managed separately because they are significantly different types of businesses and market to distinct customers.

NOTE I Discontinued Operations:

      In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS 144 established criteria beyond that previously specified in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, to determine when a long-lived asset is classified as held for sale, and it provides a single accounting model for the disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS 144 was effective beginning January 1, 2002. In accordance with SFAS 144, the Company now reports as discontinued operations assets held for sale (as defined by SFAS 144) and assets sold in the current period. All results of these discontinued operations are included in a separate component of income on the Consolidated Statements of Income under Discontinued operations.
 
      The components of income(loss) from operations related to discontinued operations for the period ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 are shown below. These include the results of the full year of operations for those assets classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

NOTE K Contingencies:

      The Company is party to certain litigation that has arisen in the normal course of its business and that of its subsidiary. In the opinion of management, none of the litigation is likely to result in a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

      On November 31, 2001 an individual filed a complaint for breach of contract against TKS. The complaint included TKE, TK USA, TKC and TKS for allegedly being “alter egos” of each other and should be responsible for TKS’s breach of contract. On December 7, 2001, the plaintiff amended the complaint to include EUPA International as a defendant. On February 5, 2003, the judge granted a summary judgment motion for the defendants. Plaintiffs appealed the summary judgment, and the appeal was fully briefed as of January 30, 2004. On May 11, 2004, the Court affirmed the judgment for the Company and its affiliates. Plaintiff has not sought further review in the California Supreme Court for the judgment in the Court of Appeal and the time for such a request has now passed.

Form 10-KSB for the Year Ended December 31, 2004
Filed March 31, 2005
File No. 0-26539 (the “Form 10-KSB”)
Dear Messrs. Jacobs and Maulbeck:
On behalf of EUPA International Corporation (the “Company”), the following are the Company’s responses to the corresponding numbered comments in the October 24, 2005 letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The Company has filed on the EDGAR system an amended Form 10-KSB, entitled Form 10-KSB/A (No. 1) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 (the “Amended Form 10-KSB/A (No. 1)”) to conform the Amended Form 10-KSB/A (No. 1) to the Commission’s comments in its above-referenced letter. Marked copies of the relevant pages of the Amended Form 10-KSB/A (No. 1) have been sent by facsimile to your attention.
Form 10-KSB/A (No.1) for the year ended December 31, 2004
Item 8A. Controls and Procedures, page 9
  1.   Please revise to disclose whether there were any changes in your internal controls over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter. Reference is made to Item 308(c) of Regulation S-B.
     Response
      The Company has revised its disclosure contained in its Amended Form 10-KSB/A (No. 1) to state that there was no change in its internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Auditor’s Report, page F-1
  2.   Please revise to state that the audit was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversights Board (United States) as opposed to auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Refer to PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 1.
     Response
      The Independent Auditor’s Report has been revised to state that the audit was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversights Board (United States).
Note D – Intangible Assets, page F-12
  3.   We note your statement in Note B that “intangible assets determined to have indefinite useful lives are not amortized.” Please tell us whether you have determined that any of your intangible assets have indefinite useful lives and if so, please provide a detailed description of your basis for concluding that such assets have indefinite useful lives. In addition, please explain the nature of the transactions in which intangible assets were acquired during each reporting period.
     Response
      The Company does not have any intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. The Company maintains and administers a portfolio of patents currently consisting of approximately 100 patents issued in the United States and abroad and certain trademarks. Costs incurred in the maintenance and administration of these patents and trademarks are expensed when incurred. However, when the Company applies for new patents and trademarks, the costs associated with such applications are capitalized and amortized accordingly. The Company’s intangible assets are comprised of the costs associated with the pursuit of these new patents and trademarks. These costs are amortized based on their useful life in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 142 (“SFAS 142”) on the date such costs are incurred.
Note G — Income Taxes, page F-13
  4.   Please explain to us why you have not been liable for any federal or international income taxes during the reporting periods.
     Response
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company had pre-tax consolidated income from continuing operations of $395,287. As of December 31, 2004 the Company’s consolidated net income was $475,163. Although the Company recognized $517,061 as other income due to a liquidating distribution from its

 


 

Messrs. Jacobs and Maulbeck
November 28, 2005
Page 3
      wholly-owned subsidiary, Union Channel Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Union”), in accordance with Internal Revenue Service Code Sec. 332 (a), a parent entity does not recognize any gain or loss as a result of a liquidating distribution by a subsidiary entity which is at least 80% owned by the parent entity. The Company had a loss of approximately $121,774 in its continuing operations. As a result, the Company’s provision for federal income tax was zero.
 
      For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company had pre-tax consolidated income from continuing operations of $74,218. As of December 31, 2003 the Company’s consolidated net income was $77,776. The Company’s provision for income tax of $7,040 for this period was for state income tax due on taxable income. The Company had a net operating loss carryover from prior years which fully eliminated the Company’s federal income tax liability.
 
      The Company discontinued operations of Union in the third quarter of 2002. Union had no operations and thus no revenues during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and only a nominal amount of interest earnings on cash balances, $1,480 for 2004 and $10,598 for 2003. The Company had over accrued its provision of income tax for the fiscal year ended 2002 and the over accrual covered the minimal international income taxes for 2003 and 2004. As a result, the Company did not accrue additional amounts for the provision of income tax for the years ended December 2004 and 2003. The Company had no international income tax liability associated with its discontinued operations of Union for the year ended December 31, 2004 and only minimal international income tax liability for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Note I – Discontinued Operations, page F-17
  5.   Please tell us why you recognized a $79,996 income tax benefit in 2004 with respect to this discontinued operation.
     Response
      As mentioned in Response No. 4 above, the Company discontinued operations of Union in the third quarter of 2002. Union had no operations during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company’s provision for income tax on its consolidated statement of operations, which was related to Union, was $79,996 higher then its actual income tax liability. This over accrual of $79,996 for income taxes for Union was reversed during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
Note M – Liquidation Distribution, page F-20
  6.   We are unclear as to the nature of this transaction. Please provide us with a detailed description of this liquidating distribution and your accounting basis for simultaneously recognizing the $517,061 amount as other income on the statement of operations and a reduction of retained earnings on the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.

 


 

Messrs. Jacobs and Maulbeck
November 28, 2005
Page 4
     Response
      During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 the Company received a liquidating distribution of cash from Union as the final step prior to the dissolution of Union. The Company accounted for this transaction by debiting cash, crediting its investment in Union and crediting other income for the balance. Union accounted for this transaction by crediting cash and capital stock and debiting retained earnings. Union closed its books showing zero assets, liabilities and stockholder’s equity. The Company’s retained earnings were reduced proportionately by the amount of this distribution, as the Company had previously included this amount in its consolidated revenues.
The Company acknowledges that:
    the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filings;
 
    staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the commission from taking any action with respect to the filings; and
 
    the Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under federal securities laws of the United States.
The Company’s officers and I are available to discuss with you any further comments or questions you may have to assist your review of the Amended Form 10-KSB/A (No.1).
         
  Very truly yours,
 
 
  /s/ Paula Winner Barnett
