CHINA WATER GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
In these notes, the terms CHWG, we, us, our and the Company mean China Water Group, Inc. (formerly China Evergreen Environmental Corporation) and subsidiary companies.
We were organized as a Nevada corporation on September 10, 1996 under the name Discovery Investments, Inc. and were previously engaged in the business of seeking, investing and, acquiring an interest in various business opportunities.
On October 15, 2004, we were subject to the reverse acquisition by Evergreen Asset Group Limited, an International Business Company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (Evergreen), pursuant to which we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Evergreen capital stock in exchange for a controlling interest in our common stock. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated September 9, 2004, as amended, we issued 83,500,000 shares of our common stock (representing 83.5% of our outstanding capital stock) in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Evergreen capital stock transferred to us by the Evergreen shareholders at the closing (the Reverse Acquisition). Following the close of the Reverse Acquisition, we changed our corporate name from Discovery Investments, Inc. to China Evergreen Environmental Corporation. On November 7, 2006, we changed our name to China Water Group, Inc. to reflect our focus on Chinas water treatment and supply needs.
As a result of the Reverse Acquisition, Evergreen became our wholly owned subsidiary. Evergreen has three majority owned subsidiaries: Guang Dong Xin Xing Mei Biology Company Limited (Xinxingmei), and Hai Yang City Sheng Shi Environment Protection Company Limited (Haiyang). Through Xinxingmei and Haiyang, we provide wastewater turn-key engineering, equipment and chemical trading. Evergreen then holds 90% of Xinxingmei. Xinxingmei provides turn-key wastewater treatment engineering design and contracting. Xinxingmei also holds 90% and 35% respectively in the equity interest of the following two water treatment facilities operated through build, operate and transfer (BOT) arrangements with the PRC government: (i) Tian Jin Shi Sheng Water Treatment Company Limited (Tian Jin), which commissioned water treatment in November 2003 and has a daily treatment capacity of approximately 10,000 cubic meters and (ii) Xin Le Sheng Mei Water Purifying Company Limited (Xin Le), which also commissioned water treatment in November 2003 and has a daily treatment capacity of 40,000 cubic meters. Xinxingmei was retained to manage both Tian Jin and Xin Le.
The principal activities of the Company were the research and development of waste water, garbage treatment and aqueous purifying techniques, investment and construction of waste water treatment plant and sales of environment protection related products. The Company is now engaged in the production, sales and marketing of the bottled water.
On January 8, 2008, the Chinese government approved the sale of Evergreens 58% of the total equity interest in Guang Dong Xin Xing Mei Biology Company Limited (Xinxingmei) to Wenming
6
Pu at a total consideration of RMB 7,308,600. After completing the transfer formalities, Evergreen held 32% of total equity of Xinxingmei, instead of the previous 90% interest.
On January 23, 2008, the Chinese government approved China Water Group Inc.s acquisition of 90% equity interest in Guangzhou Xinchen Water Company Limited from Fortune Luck Global International Limited. Guangzhou Xinchen Water Company Limited owns 100% equity interest of Aba Xinchen Dagu Glacier Spring Co., Limited. The acquisition was completed for a consideration of $13.45 million, of which $7.5 million was paid in cash, and the remaining $5.95 million will be paid in the future. The primary reason for the acquisition was to enter into the bottled water industry. The Company recorded a liability of $5.95 million, which represented the fair value of stock calculated based on US$ 0.2 per share, with reference to contemporaneous prices of the Companys common stock on the Pink Quote, with total of 29.75 million shares. Approximately $13 million of the purchase price of $13.45 million was assigned to goodwill as the net asset of Aba Xinchen Dagu Glacier Spring Co., Limited. was minimum at the acquisition date (see Note 7). On January 26, 2011, the Company issued 29.75 million shares of its common stock to Fortune Luck Global International Limited to settle the $5.95 million remaining purchase price incurred for the acquisition.
In January, 2009, the Company sold 100% of the equity interest in Evergreen to Whole Treasure Investment Ltd. at a total consideration of RMB 19,000,000 (approximately $2,784,450). After completingthe transfer formalities, the Company no longer holds any share in Evergreen. As of September 30, 2012, the receivable for disposal of Evergreen was $0.
On February 26, 2009, Guangzhou Xinchen Water Company established a subsidiary, Chengdu Jiuqiannian Water Company, in the PRC as a wholly-owned limited liability company with registered capital of RMB 500,000 (approximately $73,250).
On August 24, 2009, Guangzhou Xinchen Water Company established a subsidiary, Beijing Jiuqiannian Trading Company Ltd., in the PRC as a wholly-owned limited liability company with registered capital of RMB 300,000 (approximately $43,971).
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Companys consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included.
7
In preparing the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluated the period from September 30, 2012 through the date the financial statements were issued for material subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure. (See Note17)
INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, as not all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements are presented.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts of all financial instruments approximate their fair value. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, related party receivables, unsecured loans, accounts payable and related party payables approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these items.

NOTE 7 - GOODWILL
On January 23, 2008, the Company completed its acquisition of 90% equity interest in Guangzhou Xinchen Water Company Limited from Fortune Luck Global International Limited for a consideration of $13.45 million. Goodwill, which is equal to the excess of cost over the fair value of acquired assets, has been recorded in conjunction with the acquisition. Goodwill is accounted for in accordance with ASC 350 (formerly SFAS 142). Under ASC 350, goodwill is not amortized and is subject to impairment test, at least annually, when events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in
9
business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. The test of goodwill impairment consists of two steps. First, the identification of potential impairment is performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company estimates the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow (DCF) model. Second, if there is impairment identified in the first step, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting units goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with ASC 450-10 (formerly SFAS No 141(R)), Business Combinations. After recognizing an impairment loss of $7,499,608 at December 31, 2010 the adjusted balance of goodwill at September 30, 2012 was as follows:
Balance as of December 31, 2011 | $ 6,167,114 |
Foreign currency exchange adjustment | 62,884 |
Adjusted balance as of September 30, 2012 | $ 6,229,998 |
NOTE 8 ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

NOTE 13 INCOME TAXES
The Company is a Nevada corporation and conducts all of its business through its Chinese subsidiaries, which solely operate in the PRC. As the Company is a U.S. holding company, it did not generate any revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and therefore there was no income tax provision or benefit for U.S. income tax purpose.
The Companys Chinese subsidiaries are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC and are subject to statutory income tax rate of 25%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the income tax provision for the Company was $394 and $1,391respectively.
On February 22, 2008, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and the State Administration of Taxation (SAT) jointly issued Cai Shui [2008] Circular 1 (Circular 1). According to Article 4 of Circular 1, distributions of accumulated profits earned by a Foreign Invested Entity (FIE) prior to January 1, 2008 to foreign investor(s) in 2008 or after will be exempt from withholding tax (WHT) while distribution of the profit earned by an FIE after January 1, 2008 to its foreign investor(s) shall be subject to WHT. Since the Company intends to reinvest its earnings to further expand its businesses in
11
mainland China, its foreign invested enterprises do not intend to declare dividends to their immediate foreign holding companies in the foreseeable future.
NOTE 14 LOSS PER SHARE
The Company presents loss per share on a basic and diluted basis. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding including the dilutive effect of equity securities. The weighted average number of shares calculated for diluted loss per share excludes the potential common stock that would be exercised under the warrants granted to investors because of their anti-dilutive effect.

NOTE 15 EMPLOYEE WELFARE PLAN
The Company has established an employee welfare plan in accordance with Chinese law and regulations. The Company makes monthly contributions of 12% of all employees' salaries to the employee welfare plan.
NOTE 16 RISK OF CONCENTRATIONS IN SALES AND PURCHASES

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Much of the discussion in this Item is forward looking as that term is used in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Actual operations and results may materially differ from present plans and projections due to changes in economic conditions, new business opportunities, changes in business conditions, and other developments. Other factors that could cause results to differ materially are described in our filings with the SEC.
The following are factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated, and include, but are not limited to general economic, financial and business conditions, changes in and compliance with governmental laws and regulations, including various state and federal food regulations, our ability to obtain additional financing from outside investors and/or bank and mezzanine lenders; and our ability to generate sufficient revenues to cover operating losses and position us to achieve positive cash flow.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof. We believe the information contained in this Form 10-Q to be accurate as of the date hereof. Changes may occur after that date. We will not update that information except as required by law in the normal course of our public disclosure practices.
Additionally, the following discussion regarding our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Quarter Ended September 31, 2012 vs. Quarter Ended September 31, 2011
Total revenue. We reported total revenue of $254,161for the three months ended September 31, 2012 which increased by approximately 116,972 or 85% as compared to $137,189 for the three months ended September 31, 2011.After the year 2009 the Company reassessed its sales policy then approved more suitable channels of distribution for its bottled water. After nearly 3 years our product promotion and cultivation of sales channels until 2012, the Company has obtained more new areas and customers to increase its sales volume. The increased sales volume mainly resulted in the increased revenues.
Cost of revenue. Our total cost of revenue increased by $62,627approximately 87% from $71,578 for the three months ended September 31, 2011 to $134,205 for the three months ended September 31,2012. This was primarily due to the increased sales volume.
Gross profit. Gross profit, as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended September 31, 2012 and 2011, was approximately 47% or $119,956 as compared to 48% or $65,611. Increased gross margins were mainly due to the decreased unit cost due to increased production volume.
14
Operating expenses. Our total operating expenses for the three months ended September 31, 2012 and 2011 were $157,823 and $182,398, respectively. The principal components of operating expenses were selling and distribution expenses, administrative salaries and benefits, depreciation and amortization, travel expense, rental expense and other general administration cost. A decrease in operating expenses for the three months ended September 31, 2012 of $24,575 as compared to the three months ended September 31, 2011 was primarily due to the reduction of administrative expenses during third quarter of 2012.
Unrealized gain on financial instruments. Unrealized gains or losses on financial instruments represent the change in the fair market value of the financial instruments at each reporting date. The unrealized gain on financial instruments for the three months ended September 31, 2012 was $0. There was an unrealized gain on financial instruments of $7,497for the three months ended September 31, 2011.
Net loss. We had a net loss of $84,505 for the three months ended September 31, 2012, and $112,931 for the three months ended September 31, 2011. The decrease of net loss was primarily due to the increased sales volume, the decreased cost to the production and the decreased promotional cost.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash flow generated from investing and financing. Net cash provided by investing and financing activities during the nine months ended September 31, 2012 was $73,513 and $174,491 respectively, which was mainly attributable to the proceeds due to affiliated (related) companies. Our cash and cash equivalents were $66,982 as of September 31, 2012. We plan to secure bank loans to support our future projects. Our Chairman, the majority shareholder, has also promised to provide additional funds when needed. However, this promise is not a legally binding commitment.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and impairment of assets.
Revenue recognition. We recognize revenue using various revenue recognition policies based on the nature of the sale and the terms of the contract.
Revenues from the sale of bottled water products are recognized when goods are delivered. The contractual terms of the purchase agreements dictate the recognition of revenues by us. We recognize revenue in accordance with SAB No. 104. Accordingly, four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of
15
criteria (3) and (4) are based on managements judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. We defer any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that we and our customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.
Impairment of assets. Our policy is to periodically review and evaluate whether there has been a permanent impairment in the value of long-lived assets. Factors considered in this evaluation include current operating results, trends and anticipated undiscounted estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying value.
Allowances for accounts receivable. Our provisioning policy for bad and doubtful debt is based on the evaluation of collectability and aging analysis of accounts receivable and on management's judgment. We do not require collateral or other security to support client receivables. We conduct periodic reviews of our clients' financial condition and customer payment practices to minimize collection risks on accounts receivable. This review is based on a considerable amount of judgment which is required in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each customer. As of September 31, 2012, we had made $772,561 allowance for doubtful debts.
Financial instruments. The carrying amounts of all financial instruments approximate fair value. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, related party receivables, unsecured loans, accounts payable and related party payables approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amounts of borrowings approximate the fair value based on our expected borrowing rate for debt with similar remaining maturities and comparable risk.
Earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net income attributable to common stock for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing the net income for the year by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares (which includes incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, unvested restricted common stock and shares that may be issued on a contingent basis) are included in diluted earnings per share to the extent such shares are dilutive. In accordance with SFAS 128, Earnings Per Share, we use income from continuing operations, net of income taxes, as the control number in determining whether common equivalent shares are dilutive or anti-dilutive in periods where discontinued operations are reported.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The ASU provides entities with an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If an entity concludes that it is more than 50% likely that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is not impaired, no further analysis is required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, it would be required to determine the fair value of the
16
indefinite-lived intangible asset to measure the amount of actual impairment, if any, as currently required under US GAAP. The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) (ASU 2011-12). ASU 2011-12 allows deferral of the effective date for amendments to the presentation of reclassifications of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASU No. 2011-05. This update is effective at the same time as the amendments in ASU No. 2011-05. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
In December 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210) (ASU 2011-11). ASU 2011-11 provides enhanced disclosures that will enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entitys financial position. The objective of this update is to facilitate comparison of entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with those preparing their financial statements on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, (ASU 2011-05). ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. ASU 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This new guidance is to be applied retrospectively. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this standard will not change the presentation of its consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE and QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES about MARKET RISK.
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
17
by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Material Weaknesses identified prior to Fiscal 2011
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as this term is defined under the rules of the SEC) as of August 10, 2006. Based on this evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Executive Chairman concluded that, as of August 10, 2006, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.
In the process of filing our registration statement, we identified certain accounting errors in our reported US GAAP annual results for fiscal 2004 and 2005 and certain quarterly results in 2005 and 2006. As a result, we have restated the amounts and disclosures in those annual financial statements.
The financial statements which should no longer be relied upon include:
(i) | the audited consolidated financial statements contained in our report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 (the 2004 10-KSB), filed with the SEC on April 15, 2005, Amendment No. 1 to the 2004 10-KSB filed on July 15, 2005, and Amendment No. 2 to the 2004 10-KSB filed on January 13, 2006,
|
(ii) | the audited consolidated financial statements contained in our report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 (the 2005 10-KSB), filed with the SEC on April 17, 2006;
|
(iii) | the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in our quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2005 (the March 31, 2005 10-QSB), filed with the SEC on May 24, 2005;
|
(iv) | the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in our quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2005 (the June 30, 2005 10-QSB), filed with the SEC on August 15, 2005;
|
(v) | the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in our quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2005 (the September 30, 2005 10-QSB), filed with the SEC on November 15, 2005 and Amendment No. 1 to the September 30, 2005 10-QSB filed on January 13, 2006; and
|
(vi) | the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in our quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2006 (the March 31, 2006 10-QSB), filed with the SEC on May 15, 2006. |
18
Gain on disposal of XY
As previously disclosed in our 2004 10-KSB, including amendments thereto, and comparative figures in our 2005 10-KSB, we recorded a gain on disposal of $2,029,720 in 2004 for the disposal of our 90% attributable interest in Xian Yang Bai Sheng Water Purifying Company Limited (XY) to True Global Limited (TGL), an independent party, at a consideration of $4,130,435 (RMB34.2 million). The disposal was made pursuant to a tri-party framework agreement between Evergreen Asset Group Limited (EGAG), TGL and Guang Dong Xin Sheng Environmental Protection Company Limited (GDXS) in which EGAG transferred 90% of its equity interest in XY to TGL while GDXS continued to own 10% of its equity interest in XY. The transaction was consummated on October 26, 2004 and the gain represents the difference between the disposal proceeds and our attributable share of net assets of XY at the date of disposal. In the same year, we also recognized an amount of $9,115,942 for the construction revenue of XY using the percentage-of-completion method, estimated costs and claim recognition for construction contracts. The amount accounted for 97% of our total revenue in 2004.
In the previously filed 2004 10-KSB, as amended to date, and comparative figures in our previously filed 2005 10-KSB, the accounting treatment for the construction revenue of XY does not comply with SOP 81-1 or EITF 00-21. As a result, we will file an amendment to the 2004 10-KSB and 2005 10-KSB with adjusted disclosure to record the transaction as part of the gain on the disposal of the XY subsidiary rather than as revenue from construction of wastewater treatment plant. As such our adjusted total revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 was $250,571 and the adjusted gain on disposal of interest in a subsidiary - XY was $5,220,299. Due to the same reason, account receivable from TGL amounted to $9,416,039 as of December 31, 2004 will be reclassified to prepayment, deposits and other receivables in our upcoming amendment to the 2004 10-KSB, comparative figures in this amendment to the 2005 10-KSB and comparative figures in the upcoming or recently filed amendments to the June 30, 2005 10-QSB and September 30, 2005 10-QSB.
Group reorganization
In Note 2(ii) and 2(iii) to the consolidated financial statements contained in the previously filed 2004 10-KSB and 2005 10-KSB and Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the previously filed March 31, 2005 10-QSB, June 30, 2005 10-QSB, September 30, 2005 10-QSB and March 31, 2006 10-QSB, we disclosed group reorganization transactions. Pursuant to rules promulgated by the SEC, the merger or acquisition of a private operating company into a non-operating public shell corporation with nominal net assets is considered a capital transaction, rather than a business combination. As such, no disclosures are required under FAS 141 because the transactions described were not business combinations. For accounting purposes, the transaction has been treated as a reverse acquisition and a recapitalization, and pro-forma information is not presented. Accordingly, the upcoming amendments to the 2004 10-KSB, this amendment to the 2005 10-KSB, and the recent or upcoming amendments to the March 31, 2005 10-QSB, June 30, 2005 10-QSB, September 30, 2005 10-QSB and March 31, 2006 10-QSB will not include references to the group reorganization transactions throughout the financial statements. We will also restate the common stock immediately after the recapitalization to $100,000 in the upcoming amended March 31, 2005 10-QSB and have done so in the recent amended June 30, 2005 10-QSB.
19
Reclassification of April warrants
In our previously filed 2005 10-KSB, June 30, 2005 10-QSB and March 31, 2006 10-QSB, we recorded as equity the warrants issued as part of the units sold in our April 2005 convertible debt issuance. Under EITF No. 00-19, the fair value of these warrants should be reported as a liability. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, because there is currently no effective registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying these warrants, these warrants are currently subject to a cashless exercise whereby the warrant holders may surrender their warrants to the company in exchange for shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock into which a warrant would be exchangeable in such a cashless exercise depends on both the exercise price of the warrants and the market price of the common stock, each at or near the time of exercise. Because both of these factors are variable, it is possible that the company could have insufficient authorized shares to satisfy a cashless exercise. In this scenario, if the company were unable to obtain shareholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares, the company could be obligated to settle such a cashless exercise with cash rather than by issuing shares of common stock. Further, EITF No. 00-19 requires that we record the potential settlement obligation at each reporting date using the current estimated fair value of the warrants, with any changes being recorded through our statement of operations. We will continue to report the potential settlement obligation as a liability until such time as the warrants are exercised or expire or we are otherwise able to modify the warrant agreement to remove the provisions which require this treatment. In addition to this restatement of our 2005 10-KSB, we will restate our June 30, 2005 10-QSB and our March 31, 2006 10-QSB to reclassify the April 2005 warrants as a liability.
April and September 2005 Private Placementsnon-cash financing charges
In our June 30, 2005 10-QSB, we did not record any non-cash financing charges and in our September 30, 2005 10-QSB, as amended to date, we did not properly record the non-cash financing charges. Non-cash financing charges represent the amount by which the fair value of derivative liabilities issued exceeds the amount of proceeds received, as an expense at the date of issuance of the April convertible debenture and the September private placement. We will restate our June 30, 2005 10-QSB and our September 30, 2005 10-QSB to record the non-cash financing charges, which represent the amount by which the fair value of derivative liabilities issued exceeds the amount of proceeds received, as an expense at the date of issuance of the April convertible debenture and the September private placement. As a result of the recording of non-cash financing charges, certain expenses which were previously recorded under general and administrative expenses in our September 30, 2005 10-QSB will be reclassified under non-cash financing charges.
April 2005 Private Placementsunrealized gains or losses in financial instruments
In our June 30, 2005 10-QSB and our September 30, 2005 10-QSB, as amended to date, we did not record properly the unrealized gains or losses in financial instruments, which represent the change in fair market value of the financial instruments at each reporting date for the April warrants and the bifurcated conversion feature for the convertible debenture. The unrealized gains or losses in financial instruments should have been reported in those filings. We will restate the June 30, 2005 10-QSB and September 30, 2005 10-QSB, as amended to date, to record the unrealized gains or losses in financial instruments which represent the change in fair market value of the financial instruments at each
20
reporting date for the April warrants and the bifurcated conversion feature for the convertible debenture.
Interest in associate
In our June 30, 2005 10-QSB and our September 30, 2005 10-QSB, as amended to date, the comparative figures for our interest in associate as of December 31, 2004 were recorded based on an effective percentage of equity attributable to the group of 31.5% instead of a direct interest of 35%. We will restate the comparative figures for our interest in associate as of December 31, 2004 in the June 30, 2005 10-QSB and September 30, 2005 10-QSB to include our interest in associate based on a direct interest of 35%.
Prior Restatements
On January 13, 2006, we amended our 2004 10-KSB. Prior to the January 13, 2006 amendment, in our 2004 10-KSB we recorded our interest in associate based on an effective percentage of equity attributable to the group of 31.5% instead of a direct interest of 35%. In the January 13, 2006 restatement of our 2004 10-KSB, we reported our interest in associate based on a direct interest of 35%. In addition, we have restated the common stock immediately after the recapitalization to $100,000.
On January 13, 2006, we amended our September 30, 2005 10-QSB. Prior to the January 13, 2006 amendment, the September 30, 2005 10-QSB classified as equity the proceeds of our April Debenture and September 2005 private placement allocated to the warrants issued in these transactions. For reasons both the April warrants and September warrants should have been classified as a liability. The restated financial statements in the January 13, 2006 amendment of the September 30, 2005 10-QSB reflect this reclassification. In addition, prior to the January 13, 2006 amendment, the September 30, 2005 10-QSB did not originally report the unrealized gains or losses in financial instruments, which represent the change in fair market value of the financial instruments at each reporting date. The unrealized gains or losses in financial instruments should have been reported in the original filing. Accordingly, the January 13, 2006 restatement of the September 30, 2006 10-QSB reported the unrealized gains or losses in financial instruments, which represent the change in fair market value of the financial instruments at each reporting date. The restatement to the unrealized gains or losses in financial instruments, however, required to be further restated (refer discussion above). In addition, we have restated the common stock immediately after the recapitalization to $100,000.
Steps Undertaken with respect to Material Weaknesses Prior to 2011
In connection with the above matters, we have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which weaknesses we have reported to our auditors. These material weaknesses comprise:
| (a) | insufficient knowledge and experience among our internal accounting personnel regarding the application of US GAAP and SEC requirements; |
| (b) | insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and |
| (c) | insufficient emphasis by management on compliance with US GAAP requirements. |
21
We have communicated with our auditors, Canuswa Accounting & Tax Services Inc. and concluded that these deficiencies constituted material weaknesses, as defined by Auditing Standard No. 2, An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Performed in Conjunction with an Audit of Financial Statements, established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB.
In order to address these material weaknesses our senior management is in the process of conducting a thorough review of our US GAAP financial reporting processes and will prepare and implement a US GAAP action plan. This plan will be designed to generally improve our US GAAP reporting processes and to strengthen our control processes and procedures in order to prevent a recurrence of the circumstances that resulted in the need to restate our quarterly financial statements. Our senior management intends to complete its review and implement a US GAAP action plan as soon as practicable. The US GAAP action plan will incorporate, among other matters, the following initiatives.
| 1. | arrange for our senior management and certain accounting and finance-related personnel to attend training sessions on US GAAP and financial reporting responsibilities and SEC disclosure requirements;
|
| 2. | modify the mandate of our internal audit function to place greater emphasis on the adequacy of, and compliance with, procedures relating to internal controls over US GAAP financial reporting and engage an experience accountant familiar with USGAAP which is not affiliated with Canuswa Accounting & Tax Services Inc., to assist our accounting department and internal audit function in the preparation of our US GAAP consolidated financial statements;
|
| 3. | recruit an accounting staff member with US GAAP expertise and who is not affiliated with Canuswa Accounting & Tax Services Inc.; and
|
| 4. | engage an internationally recognized accounting firm, which is not affiliated with ,Canuswa Accounting & Tax Services Inc., to provide us with technical advice on US GAAP matters and SEC disclosure requirements on an ongoing basis. |
We have fully implemented items 1, 2, and 3, while item 4 remains in the planning stage.
Our board of directors discussed the matters disclosed in this filing with the registrants independent accountant. On September 25, 2006, we filed a current report on Form 8-K relating to these matters, including a response from our independent account relating to the statements contained therein.
Other than those disclosed above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of our 2011 fiscal year.
Material Weaknesses as at September 31, 2012
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
22
As of the end of the period covered by this report, China Water Groups management, with the participation of Wenge Fang, our principal executive officer, and Ding Rencai, our principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). In designing and evaluating its disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based upon that evaluation, Messrs. Fang and Rencai concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered in this report and that they provided reasonable assurance that the goals of the disclosure controls were met.
(b) Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Companys system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Based on its assessment, management has concluded that the Companys internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2010. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that occurred during the first quarter of our year ended December 31, 2009 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
This report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only managements report in this annual report.
