We note your disclosure in regards to interest expense, that as of April 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, accrued liquidated damages related to the registration rights agreements dated in November 2010, amounted to $353,776 and $241,227, respectively. In light of the fact the guidance in ASC 825-20-30-3 states contingent obligations to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement shall be measured separately in accordance with ASC 450-20 (loss contingencies), please explain to us why you believe that the amount accrued as of March 31, 2011 represents the probable amount of the liability at that time. Absent significant changes in circumstances subsequent to March 31, 2011, it appears that the liability recorded for the liquidated damages provision should be increased as of March 31, 2011. Please advise or revise accordingly.
   
 
Response
   
 
Pursuant to ASC 450-20, an estimated loss from a loss contingency shall be accrued by a charge to income if information available before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
   
 
In our Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1 filed on July 18, 2011, we included our restated audited financial statements for the year ended December, 31, 2010. The issuance date of these financial statements was July 13, 2011. The original event that triggered the obligation of liquidated damages was the lack of filing of a registration statement by January 9, 2011, being the date 60 days from the original closing date of the November 2010 financing. The liquidated damages were fully incurred on July 8, 2011, at which time they equaled the maximum of 10% of the amount invested.
 
 
 

 
Securities and Exchange Commission
December 21, 2011
Page 4 of 19
 
 
Accordingly, as of the issuance of our audited financial statements for the year ended December, 31, 2010, pursuant to ASC 450-20 we should have accrued the full amount of the liquidated damages, being $562,746, because it was probable that the liability had been incurred, and the liability was reasonably estimable, as of the July 13, 2011 issuance date of the restated financial statements.
   
 
We have made this adjustment in the restated financial statements included in Amendment No. 2. This adjustment was also reflected in our 10-Q for the periods ended June 30 and September 30, 2011.

We note your response to our prior comment 22. Your disclosure in this section does not depict the fact that these two consulting agreements between Ningguo and Dynamic Ally and between Taiyang and Ningguo have been terminated. Please revise this section to reflect the current status of your consulting agreements and advise us why you filed them as material agreements to your registration statement if the agreements have been terminated.
   
 
Response
   
 
We have revised our disclosure to remove any reference to the consulting agreements, as they are no longer in effect. We filed the consulting agreements as material agreements in accordance with Item 601 of Regulation S-K, because they were considered material agreements, not made in the ordinary course of business and were entered into not more than two years before the filing of the registration statement.

We note your response to our prior comment 28. Your current description of Rule 144 does not take into account the holding period and public information requirements of the rule. Please advise us why you believe the company is not required to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 and tell us whether any selling shareholders are currently affiliated with you or have been affiliated with you within the last three months.
   
 
Response
   
 
We have revised our disclosure to state that we agreed to keep the prospectus effective until the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without volume restrictions under Rule 144, which is the language in the registration rights agreement between the Company and the investors. This section was not intended to provide a complete description of Rule 144 and the requirements to sell shares thereunder. The selling stockholders section provides disclosure of any selling stockholder that is currently affiliated with us or was affiliated with us within the last three months.
   
Selling Stockholders, page 60
   
13.
We note your disclosure that some of the selling stockholders are deemed an “underwriter.” Please clearly name this list of selling stockholders as underwriters in the Plan of Distribution. Please also clarify to us whether or not this list contains all of the broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers that are selling shareholders. If there are additional selling shareholders that are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker dealers not included in this list, for those additional selling shareholders, please amend your registration statement to state that your selling shareholders who are registered broker-dealers or affiliates of registered broker-dealers have (1) purchased their shares in the ordinary course of business, and (2) at the time of the purchase of the shares to be resold, they had no agreements or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the shares.
   
 
Response
   
 
We have revised our disclosure in the Plan of Distribution section to include the list of selling stockholders that are deemed affiliates, as already disclosed in the Selling Stockholders section. To our knowledge, no additional selling shareholders are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker dealers.

We note from your response to our prior comment 31 and your revised cash flow statement that amortization of debt discount is $108,786 for the year ended December 31, 2010. However, we note that this amount does not agree with the amortization of debt discount disclosed in Note 17. Please advise or revise accordingly.
   
 
Response
   
 
The amortization of debt discount reflected on the statement of cash flows includes amortization expense of $95,000 related to the discount on our convertible loan from March 2010 that was mortised to general and administrative expense. Accordingly, this amount is not reflected in the interest expense table in Note 17.
   
 
Pursuant to the guidance outlined in SEC Practice/08, debt issue costs related to a bridge financing should be recognized as interest cost during the estimated interim period preceding the placement of the permanent financing with any unamortized amounts charged to expense if the bridge loan is repaid prior to the expiration of the estimated period.
   
 
Accordingly, we have reclassified this $95,000 from general and administrative expense to interest expense in the restated 2010 financial statements. Amortization of debt discount on the statement of cash flows agrees to the same caption in Note 17 on the restated financial statements.
   
Statement of Shareholders’ Equity, page F-6
   
15.
We note from your response to our prior comment 33 and your revised disclosure in the statement of shareholders’ equity and Note 25, that you have restated the financial statements to appropriately reflect the reverse acquisition. However, we do not believe that your response and revised disclosure adequately respond to our prior comment. As previously requested, please explain to us how the amounts recorded as common stock and additional paid-in capital for the reverse merger transaction were determined. As part of your response and revised disclosure, please provide the share exchange ratio used in the transaction and indicate the shares issued by the Company (legal acquirer) in exchange the shares of Dynamic Ally Limited (accounting acquirer).
   
 
Response
   
 
The amounts recorded as common stock and additional paid in capital were recorded pursuant to the guidance in ASC 805-40-45-2(d), which prescribes that the consolidated financial statements after the reverse acquisition should reflect:
 
 
“The amount recognized as issued equity interests in the consolidated financial statements determined by adding the issued equity interest of the legal subsidiary (Dynamic Ally Ltd.) outstanding immediately before the business combination to the fair value of the legal parent (The Parkview Group, Inc.) determined in accordance with the guidance in this Topic applicable to business combinations. However, the equity structure (that is, the number and type of equity interests issued) reflects the equity structure of the legal parent (The Parkview Group, Inc.), including the equity interests the legal parent issued to effect the combination. Accordingly, the equity structure of the legal subsidiary (Dynamic Ally Ltd.)) is restated using the exchange ratio established in the acquisition agreement to reflect the number of shares of the legal parent (The Parkview Group, Inc.) issued in the reverse acquisition.”
 
 
 

 
Securities and Exchange Commission
December 21, 2011
Page 7 of 19
 
 
The number of shares of the legal parent The Parkview Group, Inc. (“Parkview”) and the legal subsidiary Dynamic Ally Ltd. (“Dynamic Ally”) exchanged in the reverse merger, and the resulting exchange ratio, were as follows:
 
a
 
Shares of Parkview issued to Dynamic Ally shareholders
 
6,577,551
b
 
Shares of Dynamic Ally issued to Parkview
 
10,000
a/b
 
 Exchange ratio
 
657.76

 
The amount recorded to common stock at the revere merger date reflects the number of shares of the legal parent Parkview outstanding immediately after the reverse merger, using Parkview’s capital structure:
 
 
 
Shares
   
Value
 
Shares of Parkview outstanding prior to the reverse merger
    527,090     $ 527  
Shares issued in the reverse merger
    6,577,551     $ 6,578  
 
    7,104,641     $ 7,105  

 
The historical shares outstanding and related common stock value on the statement of shareholder’s equity reflect the historical values of the legal subsidiary Dynamic Ally, however these value reflect the capital structure (share structure and par value) of Parkview:

 
 
Shares
   
Value
 
Balance at December 31, 2009
    6,577,551     $ 6,578  
Share issuance pursuant to recapitalization
    527,090     $ 527  
 
    7,104,641     $ 7,105  

 
The amount recorded to additional paid in capital (“APIC”) at the revere merger date was calculated as follows:

 
 
Value
 
APIC value of Dynamic Ally immediately before reverse merger
  $ 8,271,399  
Fair value of the consideration effectively transferred by Dynamic Ally (a)
  $ 1,054,180  
Adjust shares outstanding to reflect share structure of Parkview (b)
  $ 2,895  
 
  $ 9,328,474  

 
(a)
Pursuant to ASC 805-40-55-14, the amount recognized as issued equity interests in the consolidated financial statements is determined by adding the issued equity of the legal subsidiary immediately before the business combination and the fair value of the consideration effectively transferred, measured in accordance with paragraph 805-40-30-2. The consideration effectively transferred is based on the number of equity interests the legal subsidiary (Dynamic Ally) would have had to issue to give the owners of the legal parent (Parkview) the same percentage equity interest in the combined entity that results from the reverse acquisition. To achieve the same 7.42% ownership, Dynamic Ally would have had to issue 801 shares to Parkview. The fair value of these shares would be $1,054,180, calculated as 801 shares times $1,315.51 per share value. The per share value is calculated as 6,577,551 shares of Parkview issued in the reverse merger times $2.00 per share price of Parkview, divided by 10,000 shares of Dynamic, yielding $1,315.51 per share fair value of Dynamic Ally shares immediately before the reverse merger.

(b)
Equals Dynamic Ally common stock value of $10,000, less value of Parkview shares outstanding immediately after the reverse merger of $7,105 (=7,104,641 shares x $0.001 par value). This adjustment is made to common stock par value, with the offset to APIC.

 
We have revised the disclosure in Note 1(a) to reflect the exchange ratio and the number of shares issued by Parkview and Dynamic Ally.

We note your response to our prior comment number 40. Please revise your disclosure to clarify the timing of when the amount related to the sale price of Jinyatai was written off, the loan from the Company to Jinyatai occurred and the reason why Jinyatai pledged its assets as partial collateral for a bank loan in the amount of $2,268,673 borrowed by the company. Specifically disclose whether such pledge of collateral was stipulated by the terms of the loan by the Company to Jinyatai.

Furthermore, please explain to us and revise to disclose in the footnotes the purpose and underlying economic business reasons for the loans to unrelated parties of which $4,268,057 and $2,816,943 were outstanding as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
 
 

 
Securities and Exchange Commission
December 21, 2011
Page 9 of 19
 
 
Response
   
 
The underlying business reason for loans receivable is that local prominent businesses in China often create an informal lending and borrowing arrangement amongst each other whereby short term working capital loans are made between parties in order to allow businesses to borrow in excess of what banks are willing to lend. The Company has historically both borrowed and loaned under such arrangements, without cash interest. We have revised the disclosure accordingly to reflect this fact.
   
Note 12. Derivative Financial Instruments and Financing, page F-28
   
19.
We note from your response to our prior comment 42 that you have revised your disclosure in Note 12 to indicate that under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is required to have a registration statement filed with the SEC within 60 days after the closing date (being March 7, 2011 with respect to 550,000 shares and March 17, 2011 with respect to 125,000 shares) and declared effective by the SEC not later than 120 days from the closing date. However, we note that these dates are not consistent with the January 9, 2011 date of required filing of the registration statement as disclosed in Note 25(c) and on page 4 of your filing, and the disclosure appears to be related to the shares of stock sold subsequent to year end. Please revise Note 12 to reflect the appropriate dates. Also, please revise your disclosure to clarify the nature and amount of shares of stock that are included under the Registration Rights Agreements entered into in November 2010.
   
 
Additionally, in light of the fact that it appears you are subject to a liquidated damages provision if the filing deadlines were not met, and the filing deadline appears to be January 9, 2011, please explain to us how you evaluated this liquidated damages provision as a contingent liability under ASC 825-20-35 as of December 31, 2010. Please also revise to include the disclosures required by ASC 825-20-50, as applicable.
   
 
Response
   
 
We have revised Note 12 to reflect the appropriate dates and to clarify the nature and amount of shares of stock that are included in the Registration Rights Agreements.
   
 
Pursuant to the requirements of ASC 825-20-35, we have revised our financial statements for the year ended December, 31, 2010 to include the provision for the liquidated damages in 2010. See response to Comment 8 for a full explanation of the timing and facts considered.
   
 
We have also added the disclosures to Note 12 required by ASC 825-20-50.
   
Note 13. Other Accounts Payable, page F-31
   
20.
We note from your response to our prior comment 43 and revised disclosure in Note 13 that deposits from contract farmers securing loans are advanced to the Company from the proceeds of loans taken by the farmers. We also note from your response that the Company uses the cash received from the farmers to acquire feed raw materials and fund the incubation of new ducks that will be raised by the farmers on behalf of the Company (Step 3). However, it is unclear to us how the transaction(s) described in Step 3 are accounted for within your financial statements. As part of your response, tell us whether the purchases are on behalf of the farmers and if so, how you account for such transactions within your financial statements. You may use journal entries to assist with your explanation. You response should include the point cash is received as a deposit to when the cash is returned to the borrower.

Furthermore, you note in your response that the loan agreements are between the farmer and the bank; however, this is inconsistent with the disclosure in Note 22(b) on page F-45 which states that the loans are taken by the Company on behalf of the local farmers. Please advise and reconcile the discrepancy between your response and disclosure in the footnote.
   
 
Response
   
 
The “loans to farmers” are loans that are taken directly by the contract farmers from banking institutions, and guaranteed by the Company’s general credit. The process is as follows:
   
 
Step 1: the farmer borrows money from the bank, with the loan being guaranteed by the Company’s general credit. The farmer enters into a loan agreement directly with the bank for this loan. The Company is not a party to the actual loan documentation, aside from signing a guarantee agreement with the bank. There is no journal entry on the Company’s books at this point, as the bank loan agreement is between the farmer and the bank.
   
 
Step 2: the farmer advances the funds to the Company as a deposit to ensure repayment of the loan. The journal entry at this stage is:
   
 
    Debit – Cash
 
       Credit – Deposit from contract farmer securing loans (current liability)
   
 
Step 3: the cash from the farmer deposit described in Step 2 is mixed with general working capital. The Company does not separate inventory purchases into materials to be used by farmers or by our owned and operated facilities. We do not purchase raw materials on behalf of farmers, we purchase the materials (consisting mostly of feed materials) outright and then use them both internally and provide them to farmers. When we purchase raw materials, we make the following journal entry:
   
 
    Debit – Inventory (raw materials)
 
       Credit – Cash or accounts payable
   
 
Step 4: When farmers procure materials from us, consisting primarily of feed product, medicine and duck seedlings, we make the following journal entry:
   
 
    Debit – Inventory (work in process)
 
       Credit – Inventory (raw materials)
 
 
 

 
Securities and Exchange Commission
December 21, 2011
Page 11 of 19
 
 
Step 5: The farmer grows the duck for approximately 45 days. The fee payable to the farmer is accrued in work in process inventory during this time:
   
 
    Debit – Inventory (work in process)
 
       Credit – Accounts payable and accruals
   
 
Step 6: The farmer returns a grown duck to us at the end of the growing cycle, and we make the following journal entry for the full value of the duck, including raw materials and fee payable to farmer:
   
 
    Debit – Inventory (finished goods)
 
       Credit – Inventory (work in process)
   
 
Step 7: when the loan matures, we return cash to the farmer, and make the following journal entry:
   
 
    Debit – Deposit from contract farmer securing loans (current liability)
 
       Credit – Cash
   
 
Step 8: the farmer repays the bank loan. We do not make any journal entries at this stage as we are not party to the lending arrangement.
   
 
We have revised the disclosure in Note 22(b) to properly reflect the above described transactions.
   
Note 14. Loans Payable, page F-32
   
21.
We note from your response to our prior comment 36 and your revised disclosure in Note 14(c) that prior to the closing of the Reverse Merger Transaction, the Company assessed the fair value of the commitment to issue 650,000 shares of the newly formed public entity and recorded a charge to interest expense in the amount of $165,431 in the fourth quarter of 2010. Please revise your disclosure in Note 14(c) to explain how you calculated the $165,431 charge to interest expense, including how you determined the value of the shares of stock. Also, please explain to us why you valued the shares using a Capitalization of Earnings methodology rather than using a value based on the shares that were sold for cash during November 2010. It appears that the value of the shares sold for cash in November 2010 was higher than the value you attributed to the shares in recognizing the $165,431 interest expense. Please advise or revise accordingly. Also, please clarify for us whether these shares of stock have been or will be issued in the future.
   
 
Response
   
 
We acknowledge your comment and provide the following explanations to your questions contained therein.
   
 
As noted in your comment, management concluded that the capitalization of earnings method was most representative of how the investors in the convertible debentures would have assigned value to the 650,000 inducement shares (the “Inducement Shares”) committed to be issued at inception of the convertible debentures. The reason for this was simply that there was no market for these future shares at inception (March 2010) due to the fact that the commitment to issue the shares was made while the Company was a private enterprise and there would have been no better method available to these investors at the time the transaction took place. Management concluded that these investors were afforded protective rights through the issuance of notes bearing a market rate of interest, and the incremental value assigned to the Inducement Shares would have been based upon cash flow, representing the Company’s ability to repay the debt.
 
 
 

 
Securities and Exchange Commission
December 21, 2011
Page 12 of 19
 
 
Management also considered the fact that shares were sold to accredited investors in subsequent private placement transactions (the “PIPE Shares”). It was determined that the PIPE Shares were substantially different from the Inducement Shares for the following reasons:

 
·
The PIPE Shares included registration rights and punitive liquidated damages in the event registration was not affected. It should be noted that the Company has recorded $562,746 in contingent liabilities associated with liquidated damages related to the PIPE Shares, providing empirical evidence that there was significant value associated with these registration rights.
     
 
·
The PIPE Shares included the issuance of one warrant with an exercise price of $4.00 for every 4 shares purchased; the Inducement Shares included no warrants.
     
 
·
Due to the large blocks of securities sold, investors in the PIPE Shares were not representative of market participants that should be considered in calculating the exit price of the Inducement Shares.
     
 
·
The PIPE shares were issued on the closing date of Reverse Merger Transaction, whereas the commitment to issue the Inducement Shares was made prior to the completion of offshore restructuring, historical audits, commitment of outside capital, and other actions required to complete the Reverse Merger Transaction.

 
For these reasons, the PIPE Shares were deemed to have specific valuable rights that were not afforded to the investors in the bridge loan who received the Inducement Shares. As such, the securities issued were not considered to be comparable, and we did not value the Inducement Shares using the offering price for the PIPE shares.
   
 
The value of $165,431 was determined by use of the capitalization of earnings method. We calculated a discount rate using the “Ibbotsons build up method” and applied the resultant calculated discount rate to the selected benefit stream. The selected benefit stream was 2009 after tax earnings. In arriving at the discount rate, a company-specific risk factor was applied. While other risks are not specified, the concept of fair value that is reflected in ASC Topic 820 suggests that any potential risk that could affect the fair value should be considered and adjusted for in the fair value estimate. Measurement of fair value under ASC Topic 820 explicitly requires that the value be adjusted for known risks that would affect the value of the asset or liability. While any such risk should be evaluated and incorporated as a discounting of the fair value, ASC Topic 820 specifically identifies “nonperformance risk,” being the risk related to the potential that payments or other obligations may not be fulfilled (e.g., paid, service rendered, and so forth), as factor that should be integrated into the fair value calculation.

In valuing any subject interest, all facts and circumstances known as of the measurement date are to be factored into the calculation of fair value. Additionally, fair value is based upon “Exit” not “Entry.” Accordingly, for a hypothetical investor to be willing to buy in (i.e. company exits), all risks associated with performance must be factored in. For purposes of this calculation, performance relates to achieving public status, generating liquidity in the public market, and maintaining public status. The Company achieved public status in November 2010, but has yet to achieve registration of the PIPE Shares or the Inducement Shares. Additionally, as described in our Risk Factors, our legal structure (namely, the Variable Interest Entity structure whereby there is not direct ownership of the PRC entity, but rather contractual agreements that give the US shareholders rights to the profits of the PRC entity in the form of management fees) presents incremental risk in ultimate performance, that is, the ability of the equity holder to take possession of projected cash flows and accordingly a significant company specific risk factor is warranted.

Additionally, we note that you have revised your disclosure in Note 1(a) to disclose that Dynamic Ally also issued 988 additionally ordinary shares to the holders as prescribed by the debentures prior to the closing of the Reverse Merger Transaction, and you refer to Note 14(c). Please explain to us, and disclose in Note 14(c), how these 988 shares were accounted for as part of the debenture exchange discussed in Note 14(c).
   
 
Response
   
 
These 988 shares of Dynamic Ally were issued immediately prior to the Reverse Merger Transaction, then exchanged for 650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the share exchange pursuant to the share exchange ratio of 1:657.7551. The 988 shares were valued using the capitalization of earnings method as described in greater detail in Response #21. The fair value was calculated as $165,431, which was recorded as interest expense on the books of Dynamic Ally, with an offsetting entry to additional paid in capital, in November 2010. Shares were exchanged in the Reverse Merger Transaction were recorded pursuant to ASC 805-40-45-2(d), as described in greater detail in Response #15.

We note from your response to our prior comment 48 that income earned by Parent from November 10, 2010 through December 31, 2010 from management fees, net of expenses incurred by Parent and Dynamic Ally Limited, is subject to tax at a rate of 35%. However, we still do not understand how this amount has been included, if at all, in your detailed tax expense calculations disclosed in Note 20. Please tell us the amount of this management fee that is subject to the 35% income tax rate and explain to us how this amount has been included in your income tax expense.

The 35% tax rate was not applied to the calculation of income tax for the year ended December 31, 2010, because the US parent company did not have any taxable income. Taxable income for 2010 was calculated as the amount of income earned by our operating entity in China, Anhui Taiyang Poultry Co., Ltd (“Taiyang”), which was paid to Ningguo Taiyang Incubation Plant Co., Ltd, the wholly foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”) in the form of a management fee pursuant to agreements between Taiyang and WFOE. These agreements were put in place on May 26, 2010. Prior to May 26, 2010, the Company was a tax-free enterprise pursuant to PRC tax laws. Income earned by Taiyang (and subsequently payable to WFOE) from January 1, 2010 to May 25, 2010 was not taxable. Tax on income earned by Taiyang (and subsequently payable to WFOE) from May 26, 2010 to December 31, 2010 was accrued at a rate of 10% as a non-resident enterprise, as profits of WFOE were payable to Dynamic Ally Limited (“Dynamic Ally”), a British Virgin Islands company that is the sole shareholder of WFOE.
   
 
In April 2011, the agreements between WFOE and Dynamic Ally were terminated with an effective date of November 10, 2010. Accordingly, 2010 income should have been calculated as follows as a result of these terminated agreements:

 
·
0% from January 1, 2010 to May 25, 2010 since no contractual agreements were in place and Taiyang was a tax free enterprise;
     
 
·
10% from May 26, 2010 to November 9, 2010 since profits of Taiyang were payable to WFOE, and it turn payable from WFOE to Dynamic Ally, resulting in 10% non-resident enterprise tax; and
     
 
·
25% PRC statutory tax rate from November 10, 2010 to December 31, 2010, since management fees paid from Taiyang to WFOE during this period were not paid up to Dynamic Ally, and therefore were subject to ordinary income tax at 25%.

 
The difference in applying a 25% rate vs. a 10% rate for the period from November 10, 2010 to December 31, 2010 is $198,631 of additional income tax. We have recorded this adjustment in the 2010 restated financial statements.
   
 
We have also revised the disclosure in Note 20 to more clearly explain the application of the 35% tax rate.

Please revise the introductory section of Note 24 to include disclosure of the nature and amount of this restatement.

We note from your disclosure in Note 12 that the fair value of the warrants issued during 2010 decreased significantly between December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011. In light of the fact that it appears that the assumptions used to value the warrants at December 31, 2010 did not vary significantly from the assumptions used at March 31, 2011, please explain to us and disclose in MD&A why you have recorded such a significant decrease in the fair value of these warrants during this period. Also, please explain to us and disclose in MD&A why you believe that the warrants issued in March 2011 experienced such a decrease in fair value in the relatively short period between the date of issuance and March 31, 2011.
   
 
Response
   
 
The significant decrease in value of the warrants from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011 is due almost exclusively to the fact that the underlying price of our common stock decreased from $2.50 at December 31, 2010 to $1.50 at March 31, 2011, a 67% decrease. The other underlying assumptions used in the Black Scholes formula to calculate the fair value of the warrants at each balance sheet date did not change materially between December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011. We have revised the assumptions table in this and other filings to also reflect the underlying share price, and have added a disclosure following the paragraph regarding the value of the stock at December 31, 2010. We have also updated the MD&A describing the underlying stock price as the reason for the significant change in fair value.
   
 
We have made these corrections in the 10-Q/A for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and subsequent filings.

Please tell us, and revise your notes to the interim financial statements to disclose whether this commitment still exists at March 31, 2011.

We note your disclosure that you have accrued liquidated damages pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreements dated November 10, 2010 and November 16, 2010 in the amount of $241,227. We also note from your disclosure in Note 16(k) that you entered into a registration rights agreement with a liquidated damages provision in connection with the sale of shares of common stock in March 2011. Please tell us how you have analyzed the potential payment of the liquidated damages related to the March 2011 registration rights agreement as a contingent liability under the guidance in ASC 825-20-30. Please note that under ASC 825-20-30-3, the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be measured separately in accordance with ASC 450-20. Please advise or revise accordingly.
   
 
Response
   
 
Pursuant to ASC 450-20, an estimated loss from a loss contingency shall be accrued by a charge to income if information available before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
   
 
With respect to the shares of common stock issued in March 2011, these shares were subject to a registration rights agreement that required that a registration statement be filed within 60 days after the closing date (being May 6, 2011) and declared effective by the SEC not later than 180 days from the closing date in the event of a full review (being September 3, 2011), with respect to 575,000 shares of common stock and 189,750 shares of common stock underlying warrants.
   
 
The shares issued in the March 2011 financing are included in this registration statement, which was originally filed on April 25, 2011, prior to the required filing deadline. The effectiveness date has not yet been reached, and at the time of filing we did not deem it probable that such a loss would be incurred. Furthermore, while the maximum potential amount of liquidated damages payable pursuant to the March 2011 financing is known ($115,000, being 10% of the total amount invested) the actual damages accrue over a period of approximately 5-6 months, so there is no way to reasonably estimate what portion of the maximum would be accrued.
   
 
Accordingly, we did not accrue any liquidated damages related to the March 2011 financing in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

We note from your disclosure in Note 17 that you did not recognize any imputed interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Please explain why.

Imputed interest expense incurred in 2009 and 2010 was recorded on loans taken by the Company from unrelated parties which did not bear interest. All of these loans were repaid by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2010. No new loans of this nature were entered into by the Company during 2011. Accordingly, no imputed interest expense was recorded in 2011.

The number of securities issued on November 10, 2011 does not appear to be consistent with the number of securities issued on the same date on page F-11. Please revise for consistency or advise.
   
 
Response
   
 
The number of securities issued is consistent between the disclosure in the recent sales of unregistered securities section as well as disclosed on page F-11. The paragraph in the recent sales of unregistered securities section aggregates the securities issued in November, which consisted of two closings, one on November 10, 2010 and the second on November 16, 2010. The disclosure on page F-11 breaks down the closings by date, however, the number of securities issued is consistent between the two sections.

Response
   
 
The power-of-attorney was granted by each director in connection with the initial registration statement filed on April 25, 2011. The power-of-attorney granted Wu Qiyou and David Dodge the authority to file amendments on behalf of the signatories. Therefore, the power-of-attorney language was deleted from the signature page, as it was not necessary to grant further power-of-attorneys. The original power-of-attorney is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 24.01 to the Exhibits Index.
