1. 
Organization and nature of operations
 
Sound Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) are principally engaged in manufacturing and trading of denim fabrics and garments.  The Group owns production plants in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and its customers are mainly in the United States, Europe and Japan.
 
On October 25, 2007, Freedom 3, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Freedom 3”), sold one share of its common stock to Sound Worldwide Limited (“Sound Worldwide” or “SWL”) for $1.00 and redeemed 100,000 shares of its common stock from its prior sole stockholder constituting 100% of Freedom 3’s issued and outstanding shares of its common stock prior to the sale, resulting in Sound Worldwide owning 100% of Freedom 3. After the sale and redemption by Freedom 3, Sound Worldwide and Freedom 3 entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated October 25, 2007, or Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which each issued and outstanding share of Sound Worldwide’s common stock and preferred stock was converted into 350 shares of Freedom 3’s common stock and preferred stock, respectively, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of Sound Worldwide’s common and preferred stock were retired and cancelled, resulting in Freedom 3 owning 100% of Sound Worldwide (the “Exchange”). This resulted in the stockholders of Sound Worldwide to become stockholders of Freedom 3. The previous stockholder of Freedom was then issued 300,000 shares of Freedom 3 as agreed previously. The one share of Freedom’s common stock held by Sound Worldwide was then cancelled and Sound Worldwide sold one share of its common stock to Freedom 3, which resulted in Freedom 3 owning 100% of Sound Worldwide. Freedom 3 then changed its name to Sound Worldwide Holdings, Inc.
 
For accounting purposes, the Exchange has been treated as an acquisition of Freedom 3 by Sound Worldwide and as a recapitalization of Sound Worldwide (i.e. a “reverse acquisition”), in which Sound Worldwide was deemed to be the accounting acquirer. As a result of the Exchange, the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company for periods prior to the date of the transaction are those of Sound Worldwide, as the accounting acquirer, and all references to the consolidated financial statements of the Company apply to the historical financial statements of Sound Worldwide prior to the transaction and the consolidated financial statements of the Company subsequent to the transaction. The Company’s shares have been restated retroactively to reflect the share exchange ratio as at the date of the transaction in a manner similar to a stock split.

On May 27, 2008, the Company and SWL, entered into a Share Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Best Allied, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SWL, and Ms. Ivy S.K. Lam, a director and officer of Best Allied and a stockholder of an aggregate of 6,063,750 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, at a closing held on May 30, 2008, Ms. Lam purchased from the Company and SWL 10,000 shares of Common Stock of Best Allied owned by SWL, which constituted 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Best Allied, in exchange for 6,063,750 shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by Ms. Lam, which constituted 100% of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by Ms. Lam (the “Exchange”). The effective date of the Exchange is April 1, 2008.

Pursuant to the agreement, Ms. Lam had agreed to the return and cancellation of 6,063,750 shares of our common stock held by her.

Summary of principal accounting policies

Basis of presentation and consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sound Worldwide Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the years are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal.
 
The Company also evaluates consolidation of entities under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No.46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46). FIN 46 requires management to evaluate whether an entity or interest is a variable interest entity and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. Consolidation is required if both of these criteria are met. The Company does not have any variable interest entities requiring consolidation.
 
On June 29, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for all nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification does not change U.S. GAAP but takes previously issued FASB standards and other U.S. GAAP authoritative pronouncements, changes the way the standards are referred to, and includes them in specific topic areas. The Codification is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of the Codification did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Summary of principal accounting policies (continued)

Use of estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. These accounts and estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of accounts receivable, deferred income taxes and the estimation on useful lives of plant and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition.  These investments are carried at cost, which approximates market value.

Trade accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at original amount less allowance made for doubtful receivables, if any, based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year end.  An allowance is also made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to original terms of receivables.  Bad debts are written off when identified.  The Group extends unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of business and believes all accounts receivable in excess of the allowances for doubtful receivables to be fully collectible.  The Group does not accrue interest on trade accounts receivable.
 
Inventory

Inventories, which primarily consist of yarns, denim fabrics, garments and other textile materials and products, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method.  Write down of potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory is recorded based on management’s assumptions about future demand and market conditions.

Summary of principal accounting policies (Continued)

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use.  Maintenance, repairs and betterments, including replacement of minor items, are charged to expense; major additions to physical properties are capitalized.

Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The estimated useful lives are as follows:-

 
Office unit
5 years
 
 
Machinery
Furniture and office equipment
Motor vehicles
5-10 years
5 years
5 years
 

Upon sale or disposition, the applicable amounts of asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount less proceeds from disposal is charged or credited to income.

Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 360 (ASC 360) “Property, Plant and Equipment – Overall” (Formerly known as SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ), long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are 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 estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for the period presented.

Summary of principal accounting policies(Continued)
 
Revenue recognition
 
The Company recognized revenue when the following fundamental criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) our price to the customer is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection of the resulting accounts receivable is reasonably assured.  These criteria are usually met at the time of product shipment.  The Company does not recognize revenue until all customer acceptance requirements have been met and no significant obligations remain, when applicable.  Customer purchase orders and/or contracts are generally used to determine the existence of an arrangement.  Shipping documents are used to verify product delivery.  The Company assesses whether a price is fixed or determinable based upon the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment.  The Company assesses the collectability of the accounts receivable based primarily upon the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer’s payment history.

Sales of goods represent the invoiced values of goods, net of sales returns, trade discounts and allowances.  The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated product returns and pricing adjustments in the same period that the related revenue is recorded.  The amount of these reductions is based on historical sales returns, analysis of credit memo data, and other factors known at the time.  The amounts of reductions to revenue were $Nil and $2,571 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Shipping and handling fees and costs

Costs incurred by the Group for shipping and handling, including costs paid to third-party transportation companies, to transport and deliver products to customers, are included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses”. Shipping and handling fees and costs amounted to $9,512 and $8,436 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Summary of principal accounting policies (Continued)
 
Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 
FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 740 (ASC 740) “Income taxes”, (Formerly known as FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (“FIN 48”)).  ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions.  This interpretation requires that an entity recognizes in the consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position.  The adoption of ASC 740 did not have any impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Comprehensive income

Other comprehensive income refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are included in comprehensive income but are excluded from net income as these amounts are recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity. The Company’s other comprehensive income represented foreign currency translation adjustment.

Foreign currency translation

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

In translating the financial statements of the Company from its functional currency into its reporting currency of United States dollars, balance sheet accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense accounts are translated using an average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net income but are included in cumulative other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity.

Under ASC 718, the Group measures the cost of employee and consultant services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the costs over the period the employee or consultant is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the vesting period.

Share-based compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the six month ended September, 2009 and 2008 was $66,761 and $nil, respectively. Since share-based compensation is not tax deductible in Hong Kong, the PRC and the United States, no related tax benefit has been recognized.
 
Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) (formerly included under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations) contains guidance that was issued by the FASB in December 2007. It requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value, with certain exceptions. Additionally, the guidance requires changes to the accounting treatment of acquisition related items, including, among other items, transaction costs, contingent consideration, restructuring costs, indemnification assets and tax benefits. ASC 805 also provides for a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. ASC 805 also contains guidance that was formerly issued as FSP FAS 141(R), Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies which was intended to provide additional guidance clarifying application issues regarding initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. ASC 805 was effective for business combinations initiated on or after the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company implemented this guidance effective January 1, 2009. Implementing this guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations; however it will likely have an impact on the Company’s accounting for future business combinations, but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions, if any, that are made in the future.
 
ASC 855, Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events) includes guidance that was issued by the FASB in May 2009, and is consistent with current auditing standards in defining a subsequent event. Additionally, the guidance provides for disclosure regarding the existence and timing of a company’s evaluation of its subsequent events. ASC 855 defines two types of subsequent events, “recognized” and “non-recognized”. Recognized subsequent events provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet and are required to be reflected in the financial statements. Non-recognized subsequent events provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date and, therefore; are not required to be reflected in the financial statements. However, certain non-recognized subsequent events may require disclosure to prevent the financial statements from being misleading. This guidance was effective prospectively for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company implemented the guidance included in ASC 855 as of April 1, 2009. The effect of implementing this guidance was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Share based compensation
 
On March 9, 2009, the Board of Directors adopted the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Incentive Plan”) pursuant to which 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock options, and for the issuance of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and performance shares. The purpose of the 2009 Incentive Plan is to provide additional incentive to employees, directors, advisors and consultants. The 2009 Incentive Plan provides for a term of 10 years from the date of its adoption by the Board of Directors, after which no awards may be made, unless the 2009 Incentive Plan is early terminated by the Board.

A summary of non-vested equity share units issued under the 2009 Incentive Plan is as follows:

Fair value measurement

A significant number of the Company’s financial instruments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each period. The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 820 (ASC 820), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (Formerly known as SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurement”). Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation techniques. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
 
The following discussion and analysis is provided to increase the understanding of, and should be read in conjunction with, our unaudited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Report. Historical results and percentage relationships among any amounts in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of trends in operating results for any future period. This report contains “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The statements, which are not historical facts contained in this Report, including this Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation, and notes to our unaudited financial statements, particularly those that utilize terminology such as “may” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “believes,” or “plans” or comparable terminology are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on currently available operating, financial and competitive information, and are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Future events and our actual results may differ materially from the results reflected in these foward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, dependence on existing and future key strategic and strategic end-user customers, limited ability to establish new strategic relationships, ability to sustain and manage growth, variability of operating results, our expansion and development of new service lines, marketing and other business development initiatives, the commencement of new engagements, competition in the industry, general economic conditions, dependence on key personnel, the ability to attract, hire and retain personnel who possess the technical skills and experience necessary to meet the service requirements of our clients, the potential liability with respect to actions taken by our existing and past employees, risks associated with international sales, and other risks described herein and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 excludes issuers of “penny stock” (as defined under Rule 3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Our common stock currently falls within that definition.
 
All forward-looking statements in this document are based on information currently available to us as of the date of this report, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward looking statements.
 
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report.
 
Organizational History and Operations
 
Sound Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) are principally engaged in manufacturing and trading of denim fabrics and garments. The Group owns production plants in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China and its customers are mainly in the United States, Europe and Japan.
 
On October 25, 2007, Freedom 3, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Freedom 3”), sold one share of its common stock to Sound Worldwide Limited (“Sound Worldwide” or “SWL”) for $1.00 and redeemed 100,000 shares of its common stock from its prior sole stockholder constituting 100% of Freedom 3’s issued and outstanding shares of its common stock prior to the sale, resulting in Sound Worldwide owning 100% of Freedom 3. After the sale and redemption by Freedom 3, Sound Worldwide and Freedom 3 entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated October 25, 2007, or Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which each issued and outstanding share of Sound Worldwide’s common stock and preferred stock was converted into 350 shares of Freedom 3’s common stock and preferred stock, respectively, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of Sound Worldwide’s common and preferred stock were retired and cancelled, resulting in Freedom 3 owning 100% of Sound Worldwide (the “Exchange”). This resulted in the stockholders of Sound Worldwide to become stockholders of Freedom 3. The previous stockholder of Freedom was then issued 300,000 shares of Freedom 3 as agreed previously. The one share of Freedom’s common stock held by Sound Worldwide was then cancelled and Sound Worldwide sold one share of its common stock to Freedom 3, which resulted in Freedom 3 owning 100% of Sound Worldwide. Freedom 3 then changed its name to Sound Worldwide Holdings, Inc.
 
18

 
For accounting purposes, the Exchange has been treated as an acquisition of Freedom 3 by Sound Worldwide and as a recapitalization of Sound Worldwide (i.e. a "reverse acquisition"), in which Sound Worldwide was deemed to be the accounting acquirer. As a result of the Exchange, the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company for periods prior to the date of the transaction are those of Sound Worldwide, as the accounting acquirer, and all references to the consolidated financial statements of the Company apply to the historical financial statements of Sound Worldwide prior to the transaction and the consolidated financial statements of the Company subsequent to the transaction. The Company’s shares have been restated retroactively to reflect the share exchange ratio as at the date of the transaction in a manner similar to a stock split.
 
On May 27, 2008, the Company and SWL, entered into a Share Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Best Allied, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SWL, and Ms. Ivy S.K. Lam, a director and officer of Best Allied and a stockholder of an aggregate of 6,063,750 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, at a closing held on May 30, 2008, Ms. Lam purchased from the Company and SWL 10,000 shares of Common Stock of Best Allied owned by SWL, which constituted 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Best Allied, in exchange for 6,063,750 shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by Ms. Lam, which constituted 100% of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by Ms. Lam (the “Exchange”). The effective date of the Exchange is April 1, 2008.
 
Pursuant to the agreement, Ms. Lam had agreed to the return and cancellation of 6,063,750 shares of our common stock held by her.
 
As of September 30, 2008, the subsidiaries of the Company include the following:
 
þ Sound Worldwide Limited (“SWL”), incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on July 28, 1999, 100% of which is owned by the Company. SWL’s primary business is as an investment holding company;
 
þ Asian Point Investment Limited (“Asian Point”) , incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on March 26, 1997, 100% of which is owned by the Company. Asian Point’s primary business is manufacturing and trading denim fabrics.
 
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of presentation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require 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 reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
 
Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sound Worldwide Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal.
 
19

 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognized revenue when the following fundamental criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) our price to the customer is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection of the resulting accounts receivable is reasonably assured. These criteria are usually met at the time of product shipment. The Company does not recognize revenue until all customer acceptance requirements have been met and no significant obligations remain, when applicable. Customer purchase orders and/or contracts are generally used to determine the existence of an arrangement. Shipping documents are used to verify product delivery. The Company assesses whether a price is fixed or determinable based upon the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. The Company assesses the collectability of the accounts receivable based primarily upon the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer’s payment history.
 
Sales of Goods represent the invoiced values of goods, net of sales returns, trade discounts and allowances. The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated product returns and pricing adjustments in the same period that the related revenue is recorded. The amount of these reductions is based on historical sales returns, analysis of credit memo data, and other factors known at the time. The amounts of reductions to revenue were $2,571 and $27,005 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Trade Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable are stated at original amount less allowance made for doubtful receivables, if any, based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year end. An allowance is also made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to original terms of receivables. Bad debts are written off when identified. The Group extends unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of business and believes all accounts receivable in excess of the allowances for doubtful receivables to be fully collectible. The Group does not accrue interest on trade accounts receivable.
 
Inventory
 
Inventories, which primarily consist of yarns, denim fabrics, garments and other textile materials and products, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. Write down of potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory is recorded based on management’s assumptions about future demand and market conditions.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
Share-based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Group adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”). Under SFAS No. 123R, the Group measures the cost of employee and consultant services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the costs over the period the employee or consultant is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the vesting period.
 
20

 
Share-based compensation expense of $66,761 and $nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Since share-based compensation is not tax deductible in Hong Kong, the PRC and the United States, no related tax benefit has been recognized.
 
Item 3.  Controls and Procedures.
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed 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.
 
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting. There was no change in our internal controls, which are included within disclosure controls and procedures, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls.
 
Item 3A(T). Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation of disclosure and controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and treasurer, the sole officers and directors of the company, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The purpose of the Company’s establishment and maintenance of such controls is to identify material weaknesses that have more than a remote likelihood of leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements. While identifying control deficiencies and significant deficiencies represents an important component of management's assessment, the overall focus of internal control reporting is on those items that could result in material errors in the Company’s financial statements. As of the end of the period covered by this report, our chief executive officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15b under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on his review of our disclosure controls and procedures, he concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting him to material information relating to us that is required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. Management is in the continuing process of analyzing and adopting new policies and procedures to improve the design and operations of our disclosure controls. These efforts include identifying and tasking available staff to better segregate duties; the review and consideration of more sophisticated software and other office procedures that would aid us in timely flagging potential material information that requires staff and management review and possible action prior to filing; and consideration of hiring additional staff geared towards review of our financial data and reporting. We continue to train to our existing staff in order to achieve reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the financial statements.
 
We also expect that through the natural learning process management will achieve efficiencies as they complete future assessments of internal control. For example, management's knowledge of the prior year's assessment results will impact its current year risk-based analysis of the significant accounts and the related required documentation and testing that may be necessary. Management may determine that certain controls require more extensive testing, while other controls require little testing in a given year. Additionally, in reaching its conclusion of reasonable assurance, management may find it appropriate to adjust the nature, extent and timing of testing from year to year - in some years delving deeply into selected internal control areas while performing less extensive testing in other areas and changing that focus from year to year and quarter to quarter.
 
21

 
In any event, we will, consistent with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, implement reasonable assurance, risk-based reviews of our internal financial reporting controls; evaluate internal control deficiencies; disclose material weaknesses; review information technology issues; and seek communications with auditors in order to periodically review our control procedures, and create new controls to address perceived material issues regarding financial reporting

22

 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense, net, increased for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $5,721 from $3,248 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. This increase was due to the increase in average bank borrowing balances.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

We were not impacted by inflation during the past two fiscal years in any material respect. Interest rate hikes have increased the rental cost of our vault cash. As the interest rates increase and vault cash costs increase, this will have a less favorable impact on our income.
