General information
Green Planet Bioengineering Co., Ltd, (the “Company”), formerly known as Mondo Acquisition II, Inc, was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 30, 2006.
On October 24, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with the shareholders of Elevated Throne Overseas Ltd. (“Elevated Throne”) to acquire their issued and outstanding common stocks in Elevated Throne by issuing 14,141,667 shares of its common stock. The acquisition, which was consummated on the same day, constituted a reverse takeover transaction (“RTO”) and thereafter Elevated Throne became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Elevated Throne was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (the “BVI”) on May 8, 2008 as a limited liability company with registered share capital of $50,000, divided into 50,000 common shares of $1 par value each. Elevated Throne formed Fujian Green Planet Bioengineering Co., Ltd. (“Fujian Green Planet”) as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on July 25, 2008. Fujian Green Planet has a registered capital of $2,000,000. Pursuant to Fujian Green Planet’s articles of association, Elevated Throne is required to contribute $300,000 to Fujian Green Planet as capital (representing 15% of Fujian Green Planet’s registered capital) before October 17, 2008. The Company has applied for an extension of the contribution period to December 31, 2009 with the relevant government bureau and contributed $300,000 to Fujian Green Planet on September 7, 2009 to satisfy the initial license payment requirement. The Company has on February 19, 2010, paid $1,700,000 and fully satisfied the business license requirement.
PRC law places certain restrictions on roundtrip investments through the acquisition of a PRC entity by PRC residents. To comply with these restrictions, in conjunction with the RTO, the Company, via Fujian Green Planet, entered into and consummated certain contractual arrangements with Sanming Huajian Bio-Engineering Co., Ltd (“Sanming Huajian”) and their respective stockholders pursuant to which the Company provides Sanming Huajian with technology consulting and management services and appoints its senior executives and approves all matters requiring shareholders’ approval. As a result of these contractual arrangements, which obligates Fujian Green Planet to absorb a majority of the risk of loss from the activities of Sanming Huajian and enables Fujian Green Planet to receive a majority of its expected residual returns, the Company accounts for Sanming Huajian as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under FASB ASC 805 Business Combinations, formerly FASB Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (the “VIE Arrangement”).
Sanming Huajian was organized under the laws of the PRC on April 16, 2004 under the name of Sanming Zhonjian Biological Technology Industry Co., Ltd as a domestic corporation. It is classified as a non-joint capital stock corporation and therefore the capital stock, consistent with most of the PRC corporations, are not divided into a specific number of shares having a stated nominal amount. Sanming Huajian is owned by Mr. Zhao Min, Ms. Zheng Minyan and Jiangle Jianlong Mineral Industry Co., Ltd with equity interest of 35%, 36% and 29% respectively. Mr. Zhao and Ms. Zheng collectively own more than 90% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the RTO.
The reverse takeover accounting was used to account for the RTO and the VIE Arrangement as Sanming Huajian was under common control of Mr. Zhao and Ms. Zheng before and after the VIE Arrangement. These financial statements, issued under the name of the Company, represent the continuation of the financial statements of Sanming Huajian.

General information (Cont’d)
Following the RTO and the VIE Arrangement, the Company is primarily engaged in the manufacture, marketing and sale of extracts from tobacco leaves residues. The Company's products include Solanesol, Ganoderma Tea, Nicotine Sulphate, organic pesticides, organic fertilizers, CoQ10 (raw format) and a patented organic health supplement called “Paiqianshu”. Paiqianshu comes in both liquid and pill forms and it is made from natural green barley shoot extraction. The Company operates manufacturing and distribution primarily in the PRC.
On June 17, 2009, the Company entered into a Preferred Share Purchase Agreement with ONE Bio Corp. (“ONE”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and ONE agreed to acquire 5,101 shares of the Company’s preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”), with par value $0.001 per share. Each share of the Preferred Stock shall (a) provide ONE with the right to vote 1,000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders and (b) be convertible into 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Summary of significant accounting policies
Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries and its 100% VIE Sanming Huajian (“VIE”). The results of the subsidiaries and the VIE made up to the end of the first quarter of 2010 have been presented under discontinued operations and all its related assets and liabilities reported have been reclassified as assets held for resale and liabilities associated with assets held for resale. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the year ended December 31, 2010, have been made. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial foot notes thereto and the Company’s Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Use of estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, 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 periods. These estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the valuation of trade receivables, inventories, fair value of available-for-sale securities, deferred taxes and stock-based compensation, and the estimation on useful lives and realizability of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is currently a public reorganized corporation and has no current business activity. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to successfully receive funding from future investors or find profitable business opportunities. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Fair Value Measurements
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) released ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (formerly SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”) that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
According to ASC 820, investment measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following hierarchy:
|
|
Level 1 -
|
Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level 1 included listed equities and listed derivatives.
|
|
Level 2 -
|
Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Investments that are generally included in this category include corporate bonds and loans, less liquid and restricted equity securities and certain over-the-counter derivatives.
|
|
Level 3 -
|
Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.
|
|
The Company did not have any investment measured at fair value as of December 31, 2010.
Accumulated other comprehensive income
Accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheet represents foreign currency translation adjustment.
Available-for-sale securities
Available-for-sale securities include securities held for indefinite periods of time that are not classified either as trading securities or as held-to-maturity securities. Available-for-sale securities are recognized at cost and carried at fair value in the balance sheet. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and recognized in a separate component of other comprehensive income, net of the related tax effects, until realized.
Assets held for resale and liabilities associated with assets held for resale
Assets and liabilities classified as held for resale represent all the assets and liabilities of the disposal group under Elevated Throne, its subsidiaries and the VIE, and is measured at fair value. As of the reporting date, all the assets held for resale and the liabilities associated were disposed of.
The accounting policies associated with the components under this category is summarized as follows:

(ii) Allowance for doubtful accounts
The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectability of trade and other receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of the allowance in which the Company considers the historical level of credit losses and applies percentages to aged receivable categories. The Company makes judgments about the creditworthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations, and monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a larger allowance may be required.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
Based on the above assessment, during the reporting periods, the management establishes the following rates of general provision provided on gross amount of trade and other receivables :-
|
Rate
|
||||
Aged within 1/2 year
|
0 | % | ||
Aged over 1/2 year but within 1 year
|
5 | % | ||
Aged over 1 year but within 3 years
|
20 | % | ||
More than 3 years
|
100 | % |
|
Additional specific provision is made against trade and other receivables aged less than 1 year to the extent which they are considered to be doubtful.
Bad debts are written off when identified. The Company extends unsecured credit to customers ranging from three to six months in the normal course of business. The Company does not accrue interest on trade accounts receivable.
(iii) Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined on a weighted-average basis and includes all expenditures incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale and putting them in a saleable condition. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventory, management makes judgments as to future demand requirements compared to current or committed inventory levels. The Company’s reserve requirements generally increase with its projected demand requirements; decrease due to market conditions, product life cycle changes. During the reporting periods, all of the Company’s products are saleable with high profit margins, the Company did not make any allowance for slow-moving or defective inventory.
No allowance for obsolete inventory was provided during the reporting periods.
(iv) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant 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.
Depreciation is provided on straight- line basis over their estimated useful lives. The principal depreciable periods are as follows :
|
Depreciable period
|
||
Buildings
|
20 years
|
|
Plant and machinery
|
10 years
|
|
Office equipment
|

|
|
Motor vehicles
|
5 years
|
|
Construction in progress represents buildings and machinery under construction, which is stated at cost less any impairment losses, and is not depreciated. Cost comprises the direct costs of construction. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for use.
Maintenance or repairs are charged to expense as incurred. 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.

(v) Land use rights
Land use rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the terms of the lease of 50 years obtained from the relevant PRC land authority.
(vi) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The principal amortization periods are as follows:
|
Amortization period
|
|
Technologies
|
5 to 10 years
|
Software
|
5 years
|
|
The Company periodically reviews the original estimated useful lives of long-lived assets and makes adjustments when appropriate. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its intangible assets for impairment by comparing the future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets to their respective carrying amounts.
Convertible loan
The Company’s convertible loan has non-detachable conversion feature, that were in-the-money with a beneficial conversion feature as of the commitment date. At issuance, the Company values separately the beneficial conversion features in convertible loan. Beneficial conversion feature is recognized by allocating to additional paid-in capital of the net proceeds from the sale of the convertible loan equal to the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature. Intrinsic value is calculated as the difference, as of the commitment date, between the conversion price of the convertible loan and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTCBB, multiplied by the number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which the convertible loan is convertible. If the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is greater than the net proceeds allocated to the convertible loan, the amount of the discount assigned to the beneficial conversion feature is limited to the amount of the proceeds. Interest expense is recognized using the effective interest method, meaning that any premium or discount upon issuance is amortized over the life of the instrument. See also Notes 4 and 9 for an update.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2010, all the cash is denominated in United States Dollars and as of December 31, 2009, almost all the cash and cash equivalents were denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”) and were placed with banks in the PRC. They are not freely convertible into foreign currencies and the remittance of these funds out of the PRC is subject to exchange control restrictions imposed by the PRC government.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes impairment of long-lived assets in the event that the net book values of such assets exceed the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. During the reporting years, the Company has not identified any indicators that would require testing for impairment.

Revenue recognition
The Company generates revenue from sales of extracts from tobacco leaves residues. Revenue is recognized when products are delivered and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable.
Deferred revenue
Deferred revenue represents subsidy income received from the government. It mainly consisted of receipt of granted funds to subsidize the Company’s research and development activities and recognized as income when the relevant criteria are met.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales consists primarily of materials costs, freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, wages, employee compensation, depreciation and related costs, which are directly attributable to the production of products.
Expenses
Expenses include administrative, selling expenses, research and development expenses. Selling expenses mainly consist of advertising, commission, entertainment, salaries, and traveling expense which are incurred during the selling activities. Research and development expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
Stock-based compensation
The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 718 formerly SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”, which requires the use of the fair value method of accounting for share-based compensation. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost related to employee stock options or similar equity instruments which are equity-classified awards, is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the requisite service period, which is usually the vesting period. ASC Topic 718 also requires measurement of cost of a liability-classified award based on its current fair value.
The fair value of warrants granted is determined using the Black-Scholes model. Under this model, certain assumptions, including the risk-free interest rate, the expected life of the warrants and the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock and the expected volatility, are required to determine the fair value of the warrants. If different assumptions had been used, the fair value of the warrants would have been different from the amount the Company computed and recorded, which would have resulted in either an increase or decrease in the compensation expense.
Income taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to ASC Topic 740 formerly FAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carry forwards and their respective tax bases. 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.

Off-balance sheet arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Basic and diluted earnings per share
The Company reports basic earnings per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260 formerly SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The weighted average number of shares of the Company represents the common stock outstanding during the reporting periods.
Diluted earnings per share are computed using the sum of weighted average number of shares outstanding and dilutive potential shares and warrants outstanding during the periods presented. During the year ended December 31, 2010, there is an anti dilutive effect on the earnings per share.
Comprehensive income
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 220 formerly SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Components of comprehensive income include net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Foreign currency translation
As of December 31, 2010, the Company no longer maintains the financial statements in Renminbi, the functional currency. All the monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in United States Dollars.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB has published ASU 2010-01 “Equity (Topic 505) - Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force,” as codified in ASC 505, ASU No. 2010-01 clarifies the treatment of certain distributions to shareholders that have both stock and cash components. The stock portion of such distributions is considered a share issuance that is reflected in earnings per share prospectively and is not a stock dividend. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In January 2010, the FASB has published ASU 2010-02 “Consolidation (Topic 810) - Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary—a Scope Clarification,” as codified in ASC 810, “Consolidation.” ASU No. 2010-02 applies retrospectively to April 1, 2009.

In January 2010, the FASB has published ASU 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): - Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU No. 2010-06 clarifies improve disclosure requirement related to fair value measurements and disclosures – Overall Subtopic (Subtopic 820-10) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure about purchase, sales, issuances, and settlement in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In March 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-11 “Derivatives and Hedging” (Topic 815). ASU No. 2010-11 update provides amendments to subtopic 815-15, Derivatives and hedging. The amendments clarify about the scope exception in paragraph 815-10-15-11 and section 815-15-25 as applicable to the embedded credit derivatives. The ASU is effective on the first day of the first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. Therefore, for a calendar-year-end entity, the ASU becomes effective on July 1, 2010. Early application is permitted at the beginning of the first fiscal quarter beginning after March 5, 2010. The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-12. “Income Taxes” (Topic 740). ASU No.2010-12 amends FASB Accounting Standard Codification subtopic 740-10 Income Taxes to include paragraph 740-10-S99-4. On March 30, 2010 The President signed the Health Care & Education Affordable Care Act reconciliation bill that amends its previous Act signed on March 23, 2010. FASB Codification topic 740, Income Taxes, requires the measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets to be based on provisions of enacted tax law. The effects of future changes in tax laws are not anticipated.” Therefore, the different enactment dates of the Act and reconciliation measure may affect registrants with a period-end that falls between March 23, 2010 (enactment date of the Act), and March 30, 2010 (enactment date of the reconciliation measure). However, the announcement states that the SEC would not object if such registrants were to account for the enactment of both the Act and the reconciliation measure in a period ending on or after March 23, 2010, but notes that the SEC staff “does not believe that it would be appropriate for registrants to analogize to this view in any other fact patterns.” The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-13 “Stock Compensation” (Topic 718). ASU No.2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity's equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this Update should be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be calculated for all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are initially applied, as if the amendments had been applied consistently since the inception of the award. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be presented separately. Earlier application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-17. “Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method” (Topic 605) ASU No.2010-17 provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions. An entity often recognizes these milestone payments as revenue in their entirety upon achieving a specific result from the research or development efforts. A vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone in its entirety as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone meets all criteria to be considered substantive. Determining whether a milestone is substantive is a matter of judgment made at the inception of the arrangement. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. Entities can apply this guidance prospectively to milestones achieved after adoption. However, retrospective application to all prior periods is also permitted. The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-18. “Receivables” (Topic 310). ASU No.2010-18 provides guidance on accounting for acquired loans that have evidence of credit deterioration upon acquisition. Paragraph 310-30-15-6 allows acquired assets with common risk characteristics to be accounted for in the aggregated as a pool. Upon establishment of the pool, the pool becomes the unit of accounting. When loans are accounted for as a pool, the purchase discount is not allocated to individual loans; thus all of the loans in the pool accrete at a single pool rate (based on cash flow projections for the pool). Under subtopic 310-30, the impairment analysis also is performed on the pool as a whole as opposed to each individual loan. Paragraphs 310-40-15-4 through 15-12 establish the criteria for evaluating whether a loan modification should be classified as a troubled debt restructuring. Specifically paragraph 310-40-15-5 states that “a restructuring of a debt constitutes a troubled debt restructuring for purposes of this subtopic if the creditor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider.” The ASU is effective for modification of loans accounted for within pools under subtopic 310-30 occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-20 (ASU No. 2010-20) “Receivables” (Topic 310). ASU No. 2010-20 provides financial statement users with greater transparency about an entity’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financing receivables. This update is intended to provide additional information to assist financial statement users in assessing an entity’s credit risk exposures and evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses. The amendments in this update apply to both public and nonpublic entities with financing receivables, excluding short-term trade accounts receivable or receivables measured at fair value or lower of cost or fair value. The objective of the amendments in ASU No. 2010-20 is for an entity to provide disclosures that facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of (1) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, (2) How that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and (3) The changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. The entity must provide disclosures about its financing receivables on a disaggregated basis. For public entities ASU No. 2010-20 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. For nonpublic entities ASU No. 2010-20 will become effective for annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2011. The Company is evaluating the impact ASU No. 2010-20 will have on the financial statements.

In September 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-25 (ASU No. 2010-25) “Defined Contribution Pension Plans” (Topic 962). ASU No. 2010-25 clarifies how loans to participants should be classified and measured by defined contribution pension benefits. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-25 affect any defined contribution pension plan that allows participant loans. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-25 require that participant loans be classified as notes receivable from participants, which are segregated from plan investments and measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. ASU No. 2010-25 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2010 and should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-26 (ASU No. 2010-26) “Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts.” ASU No. 2010-26 addresses diversity in practice regarding the interpretation of which costs relating to the acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts qualify for deferral. Costs that meet the definition of acquisition costs, as stated in the Master Glossary of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, are typically recognized as assets and are commonly referred to as deferred acquisition costs. The amendments in this update affect insurance entities that are within the scope of Topic 944 Financial Services – Insurance (which includes but is not limited to stock life insurance entities, mutual life insurance entities, and property and liability insurance entities), that incur costs in the acquisition of new and renewal insurance contracts. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively upon adoption. Retrospective application to all prior periods presented upon the date of adoption also is permitted, but not required. Early adoption is permitted, but only at the beginning of an entity’s annual reporting period. The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
|
|
In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-28 (ASU No. 2010-28) “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350).” ASU No. 2010-28 addresses questions about entities with reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts because some entities concluded that Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test, as stated in Topic 350, is passed in those circumstances because the fair value of their reporting unit will generally be greater than zero. The amendments in this update do not provide guidance on how to determine the carrying amount or measure the fair value of the reporting unit. The amendments in this update modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For public entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Nonpublic entities may early adopt the amendments using effective date for public entities. The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-29 (ASU No. 2010-29) “Business Combinations (Topic 805).” ASU No. 2010-29 addresses the diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations. The amendments in this update specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments in this update also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Other ASUs not effective until after December 31, 2010, are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
