On February 12, 2010, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Surmounting Limit Marketing Adviser Limited (“SLM”), a Hong Kong Corporation, through China Executive Education Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Merger Sub”) wholly owned by the Company. SLM is a holding company whose only asset, held through a subsidiary, is 100% of the registered capital of Hangzhou MYL Business Administration Consulting Co., Ltd. (“MYL Business”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Substantially all of SLM's operations are conducted in China through MYL Business, and through contractual arrangements with several of MYL Business’s affiliated entities in China, including Hangzhou MYL Commercial Services Co., Ltd. (“MYL Commercial”) and its subsidiaries. MYL Commercial is a fast-growing executive education company with dominant operation in Shanghai, the commercial center of China, providing comprehensive consulting services such as business administration, marketing strategy, designing of enterprise image, corporate investment and commerce, business conference as well as professional training programs designed to fit the needs of Chinese entrepreneurs to improve their leadership, management and marketing skills.
In connection with the acquisition, the Merger Sub issued 20 shares of the common stock of the Merger Sub which constituted no more than 10% ownership interest in the Merger Sub to the shareholders of SLM, in exchange for all the shares of the capital stock of SLM (the “Share Exchange” or “Merger”). The 20 shares of the common stock of the Merger Sub were converted into approximately 21,560,000 shares of the common stock of the Company so that upon completion of the Merger, the shareholders of SLM own approximately 98% of the common stock of the Company.
As part of the Merger, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), the Company transferred all of the outstanding capital of its subsidiary, On Demand Heavy Duty Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) to certain of its shareholders in exchange for the cancellation of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Split Off Transaction”). In addition, an aggregate of 3,070,000 shares were returned to the transfer agent for cancelation by other shareholders of Holdings. Following the Merger and the Split-Off Transaction, the Company discontinued its former business and is now engaged in the executive education business.
Upon completion of the Merger, there were 22,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding.

(Stated in US Dollars)
1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES (Continued)
As a result of these transactions, persons affiliated with the SLM and MYL Business owned securities that in the aggregate represented approximately 98% of the equity in the Company. In addition, in connection with the change of control contemplated by the Share Exchange, the directors and officers of the Company resigned from their positions and new directors and officers affiliated with MYL Business controlled the Board of Directors.
Consequently, the Company’s name was changed from “On Demand Heavy Duty Corp.” to the Merger Sub’s name “China Executive Education Corp.” in order to more effectively reflect the Company’s business and communicate the Company’s brand identity to customers.
The above mentioned merger transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger under the purchase method of accounting since there was a change of control. Accordingly, SLM is treated as the continuing entity for accounting purposes. SLM did not commence business operations until April 2009.
SLM does not conduct any substantive operations of its own. Instead, through its subsidiary, MYL Business, it had entered into certain exclusive contractual agreements with Hangzhou MYL Commercial Services Co., Ltd. (“MYL Commercial”), a company incorporated in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on March 25, 2009. Pursuant to these agreements, SLM is obligated to absorb a majority of the risk of loss from MYL Commercial’s activities and entitled it to receive a majority of its expected residual returns. In addition, MYL Commercial’s shareholders have pledged their equity interest in MYL Commercial to SLM, irrevocably granted SLM an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC Law, all or part of the equity interests in MYL Commercial and agreed to entrust all the rights to exercise their voting power to the persons appointed by MYL Commercial. Through these contractual arrangements, the Company and SLM hold all the variable interests of MYL Commercial. Therefore, the Company is the primary beneficiary of MYL Commercial.
Based on these contractual arrangements, management believes that MYL Commercial should be considered as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) under ASC 510 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and Interpretation of ARB No. 51”, because the Company is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company consolidates MYL Commercial and its subsidiary’s results, assets and liabilities

2. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On November 15, 2011, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of China Executive Education Corp. (the “Company”) concluded, based on recommendation from Albert Wong & Co., our current independent auditor that the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, each as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, should be restated. These restatements are non-cash related, and relate to following reasons:
1)
|
The Company recognized its revenue based on invoices issued other than courses delivered in years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, which resulted in the net revenues for these two years were overstated. In the restatement, the Company reversed the improperly recognized revenue and recorded as deferred revenue;
|
2)
|
The Company only consolidated 90% controlling interest of the variable interests entity (the “VIE”) and recognized 10% as noncontrolling interest in years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Pursuant to the VIE agreements, the Company should be the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and consolidate the VIEs entirely. This error was corrected in the restatement;
|
3)
|
The Company failed to disclosed its VIEs in accordance to Accounting Standard Codification (the “ASC”) 810-10-45 and 50 in the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The disclosure is amended in the restatement;
|
4)
|
The Company failed to recognized the deferred tax assets in related to the temporary difference due to deferred revenue in years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The deferred tax assets are properly recognized and disclosed in the restatement;
|
5)
|
Under and over accrual for certain liabilities as well as expenses; and
|
6)
|
Certain accounts were improperly classified.
|
The net effects of net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were decrease of approximately $7.49 million and $2.97 million, respectively. And for nine and three months ended September 30, 2010 was decrease of approximately $7.34 million and $2.69 million, respectively.
The following tables set forth the financial impacts of the restatement on the Company.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. The Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 has been taken from the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet (restated) as of the date. All other consolidated financial statements contained herein are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements (restated) and notes thereto.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. This basis of accounting differs in certain material respects from that used for the preparation of the books of account of the Company’s principal subsidiaries, which are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and the relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises with limited liabilities established in the PRC, the accounting standards used in the places of their domicile. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect necessary adjustments not recorded in the books of account of the Company's subsidiaries to present them in conformity with US GAAP.
(b)
|
Principles of consolidation
|
The consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The Company owned its subsidiaries and variable interest entity (“VIE”) soon after its inception and continued to own the equity’s interests through September 30, 2011. The following table depicts the identity of the subsidiaries and VIE:

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

(d)
|
Economic and political risks
|
The Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
(e)
|
Cash and concentration of risk
|
Cash includes cash on hand, cash in bank and demand deposits in accounts maintained within the PRC and Kong Kong. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risk on its cash in bank accounts.
(f)
|
Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets
|
The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances warrant such a review, pursuant to the guidelines established in ASC No. 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost to dispose.
During the reporting periods, there was no impairment loss.
(g)
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains bank accounts in the Hong Kong. The subsidiaries of the Company maintain bank accounts in Hong Kong and the PRC.

Foreign currency translation(Continued)
|
The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into USD at the rates used in translation. In addition, the current foreign exchange control policies applicable in PRC also restrict the transfer of assets or dividends outside the PRC.
Accounts receivable is recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for all customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience. Bad debts are written off as incurred. During the reporting years, there were no bad debts.
Outstanding accounts balances are reviewed individually for collectability. The Company does not charge any interest income on trade receivables. Accounts balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. To date, the Company has not charged off any balances as it has yet to exhaust all means of collection.
As stipulated by the PRC’s Company Law and as provided in the company’s Articles of Association, company’s net income after taxation can only be distributed as dividends after appropriation has been made for the following:
i.
|
Making up cumulative prior years’ losses, if any;
|
ii.
|
Allocations to the “Statutory surplus reserve” of at least 10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, until the fund amounts to 50% of the Company's registered capital, which is restricted for set off against losses, expansion of production and operation or increase in registered capital;
|
iii.
|
Allocations of 5-10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to the Company's “Statutory common welfare fund”, which is restricted for capital expenditure for the collective benefits of the Company's employees; and
|
iv.
|
Allocations to the discretionary surplus reserve, if approved in the shareholders’ general meeting.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The Company records all tuition as deferred revenue when students begin a class. Revenue is recognized based on a pro rata basis over the quantity of classes attended by the students. This results in the Company’s balance sheet including future revenues that have not yet been earned as deferred revenue for classes that are not yet attended.
Tuition revenue is generally recognized over the length of the course and/or program as applicable.
Refund policy permits students who apply for a refund for the portion of the course they did not attend. The Company may refund a portion of fees after negotiated. In the past practice, there are seldom cases that the students apply for refund, and it is no significant impact on revenue recognition of the Company based on the best estimation of the management. Refunds result in a reduction in deferred revenue during the period that a student drops or withdraws from a class because associated tuition revenue is recognized pro rata over the quantity of classes are delivered.
Generally, net revenue varies from period to period based on several factors, including the aggregate number of students attending classes, the number of classes held during the period, and the tuition price.
The Company’s revenue is principally derived from tuition and fees associated with two kinds of educational programs to the students: proprietary training courses, and comprehensive training courses.
Proprietary training courses, which normally take several days to complete, primarily consisted of featured lectures. These courses are provided on a roll-over basis over the year. Based on the courses attendance record, the revenue is recognized at the delivered courses to the students.
Comprehensive training courses, which are composed with sixteen individual courses with systematic training in leadership development, i.e. decision making skills, negotiation skills, presentation skills and people skills. Based on the contracts, the students are eligible to enroll the courses within three years period. The revenue is recognized on pro rata basis over the quantity of classes attended.
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach and allows for recognition of deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.
The Company is operating in the PRC, and in accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of PRC, the enterprise income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were 25%.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a consolidated financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other consolidated financial statements. The Company’s current component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.

Recently implemented standard
|
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in GAAP and IFRSs.” This ASU represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (the “Boards”) on fair value measurement. The collective efforts of the Boards have resulted in common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments are effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is not permitted for public entities; therefore, the Company currently expects to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2012. The Company is currently reviewing the effect this new pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. This ASU amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) to allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments are effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted; the Company currently expects to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2012. The Company is currently reviewing the effect this new pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements.
Except for the ASUs above, in the first nine months ended September 30, 2011, The FASB has issued ASU No. 2011-01 through ASU 2011-09, which is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

4. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
Financial instruments that potentially expose the company to concentrations of credit risk, consists of cash and accounts receivable as of September 30, 2011 and 2010. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its cash position and credit evaluations to ensure sound collections and minimize credit losses exposure.
As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, all the Company’s bank deposits were conducted with banks in the PRC where there is currently no rule or regulation mandated on obligatory insurance of bank accounts.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, all of the Company’s sales were generated from the PRC. In addition, all accounts receivable as of September 30, 2011 and 2010 also arose in the PRC.
The maximum amount of loss exposure due to credit risk that the Company would bear if the counter parties of the financial instruments failed to perform represents the carrying amount of each financial asset on the balance sheet.
Normally, the Company does not require collateral from customers or debtors.
5. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY
On May 1, 2009 MYL Business has entered into a series of exclusive contractual arrangements with (the “Contractual Arrangements”) MYL Commercial, pursuant to which MYL Business exercise effective control over the operations of MYL Commercial and receive the economic benefits of MYL Commercial. These agreements are summarized in the following paragraphs.
Exclusive Services Agreement. Pursuant to an exclusive services agreement by and among MYL Business, MYL Commercial and its subsidiary, dated May 1, 2009, MYL Commercial and its subsidiary irrevocably entrusted to MYL Business the management and operation of MYL Commercial and its subsidiary and the responsibilities and authorities of their shareholders and directors.

5. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY (Continued)
Voting Rights Proxy Agreement. Pursuant to a voting rights proxy agreement by and among MYL Business, MYL Commercial and MYL Commercial’s shareholders and subsidiary, dated as of May 1, 2009, the shareholders of MYL Commercial and its subsidiary have granted the personnel designated by MYL Business the right to appoint directors and senior management of MYL Commercial and its subsidiary and to exercise all of their other voting rights as shareholders of MYL Commercial and its subsidiary, as the case may be, as provided under the articles of association of each such entity. Under the voting rights proxy agreement, there are no restrictions on the number, to the extent allowed under the respective articles of association of MYL Commercial and its subsidiary, or identity of those persons we can appoint as directors and officers.
Equity Pledge Agreement. Pursuant to an equity pledge agreement by and among MYL Business, MYL Commercial and MYL Commercial’s shareholders and subsidiary, dated as of May 1, 2009, each of the shareholders has pledged his or its equity interest in MYL Commercial and its subsidiary as the case may be, to MYL Business to secure their obligations under the relevant contractual control agreements to which each is a party, including but not limited to, the obligations of MYL Commercial and its subsidiary under the exclusive services agreement, call option agreement and voting rights proxy agreement. Under this equity pledge agreement, the shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of their interest in MYL Commercial or its subsidiary, as the case may be, without the prior written consent of MYL Business.
As a result of these Contractual Arrangements, under U.S.GAAP, MYL Business is considered the primary beneficiary of MYL Commercial and thus consolidate its results in our consolidates financial statements.
As a result of the Contractual Arrangement, MYL Business was granted with unconstrained decision making rights and power over key operational functions within the MYL Commercial. As a result, MYL Business will bear all of the Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) operating costs in exchange for 100% of the net income the VIEs. There is not any income or loss of the VIEs attributed to other parties. MYL Business does not have any equity interest in the VIEs, but instead has the right to enjoy economic benefits similar to equity ownership through its Contractual Arrangements with MYL Commercial.
These contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing MYL Business with control over the MYL Commercial as direct ownership. Due to its VIE structure, MYL Business has to rely on contractual rights to effect control and management of the MYL Commercial, which exposes it to the risk of potential breach of contract by the shareholders of MYL Commercial.

(Stated in US Dollars)
5. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY (Continued)
In addition, as all of these Contractual Arrangements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through either arbitration or litigation in the PRC, they would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. The legal environment in the PRC is not as developed as in other jurisdictions, such as the United States. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could further limit the Company’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. Furthermore, these contracts may not be enforceable in China if PRC government authorities or courts take a view that such contracts contravene PRC laws and regulations or are otherwise not enforceable for public policy reasons. In the event the Company is unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, it may not be able to exert effective control over the VIEs, and its ability to conduct its business may be materially and adversely affected. At present, the equity interest pledge agreement has not been registered with the PRC regulator.
None of the assets of the VIEs can be used only to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs. Conversely, liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional claims on the Company’s general assets.
The following financial statement amounts and balances of the VIEs were included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended:

The following table sets forth key components of our results of operations for the periods indicated.
25
Revenues. We provide two kinds of training programs to students: (1) proprietary training courses and (2) comprehensive training courses. Proprietary training courses, which normally take several days to complete, primarily consist of featured lectures. These courses are provided on a roll-over basis over the year. Started in the second half of 2010, we outsourced part of our student recruiting and marketing tasks to several local recruiting agents to help promote our training courses and programs. As a result, more students were recruited and attended our course trainings, which led to the increase in our sales revenue from proprietary training courses for the period indicated. Our comprehensive training course package includes sixteen courses (covers over forty-one main topics) to students by both Chinese lecturers and foreign lecturers. It normally takes several months to complete. The following table provides a breakdown of our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively:

Our revenues increased $789,835, or 40%, to $2,787,621 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $1,997,786 for the same period of 2010. The increase in our revenue was attributable to a number of factors, including:
First, revenue from preliminary training courses increased $754,462 or 46% for the quarter ended September 30,2011 as compared to the prior period, because of increased student recruiting and attendance during the quarter. The number of students participating the proprietary training courses increased from 1,377 students in 2010 to 2,242 students in 2011 as a result of using outsourced local agents to promote our training programs, which broadened our market coverage. As more students attended the preliminary training courses, sales revenue increased accordingly. The increase in student recruiting was offset by decreased average tuition price from $1,250 per course in 2010 to $1,064 per course in 2011. The Company focused on promotional sales seminars during the quarter aiming to recruit more students to participate the training courses in the near future, as a result, the tuition collected from such promotional seminars was lower than ordinary course offerings. Our overall increase in sales revenue from preliminary training courses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 reflected the above combined factors.
Second, revenue from comprehensive training programs increased from $367,218 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to $402,591 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $35,373, or 10%. The increase was mainly because the average tuition price for the comprehensive course program increased from $5,030 per student in 2010 to $6,941 per student in 2011, representing a 37% increase. The Company’s comprehensive training programs included 16 courses, among which 10 courses are taught by Chinese lecturers, and the remaining 6 courses taught by foreign lecturers are taught by invited foreign lecturers. The 10 courses in Chinese normally completed within 3 months; and the 6 courses can normally be completed within a 6-9 month periods, because the invitations and schedule arrangements need to be made in advance. For those students who have completed their 10 courses taught by Chinese lecturers, they must wait for the foreign lecturers’ arrival in order to move forward. This may affect the student course attendance from period to period. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, one invited foreign lecturer, Mr. John Maxwell, provided the lecturers to students, as a result, 73 students attended the comprehensive course training programs. For the same period of 2011, no invited foreign lecturers appeared in China to perform the lectures; as a result, only 58 students attended the courses.
Cost of revenue. Our costs of revenue primarily include expenditures incurred in connection with providing educational services to the students, such as renting conference rooms, booking hotels, compensation for lecturers, renting training equipment and materials as well as other direct labor costs incurred. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, cost of revenue increased by approximately $504,639, or 33%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010.

The change in cost of revenue was attributable to the cumulative effect of the following factors:
First, cost of lecturer’s compensation amounted to $61,981, or 3% of the total cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011, representing a $354,871 decrease as compared to the corresponding period of 2010. Normally, compensation paid to invited foreign lecturers is higher than compensation paid to Chinese lecturers. The decrease in lecturer’s compensation cost for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was due to decreased compensation paid to invited foreign lecturers. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, we paid about $400,000 to invited foreign lecturer Mr. John Maxwell for providing lecture to student in China. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, no invited foreign lecturers provided lectures to our students.
Second, the cost of hotel and conference rooms for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased $1,221,565, or 267%, as compared to the prior comparative period. The increase in hotel and conference room costs was mainly because more students have attended the trainings as discussed above. In addition, in August 2011 we organized and held a training conference in Australia named “Anthony Robin dating the life”. Hotel and conference expense incurred to send students to participate in the training held overseas was higher than in the domestic market.
Gross profit and gross margin. Our gross profit is equal to the difference between our revenues and our cost of revenues. Our gross profit increased by $285,196, or 63%, to $741,305 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $456,109 for the same period in 2010. Our gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross margin) also increased to 27% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from 23% in the prior comparative period. The increase in our gross profit and gross margin was primarily due to the increased revenues as discussed above.
Selling expenses. Our selling expenses mainly include advertising expense, sales commission paid to outside agents for student recruiting and salaries paid to our own sales forces. Selling expenses decreased $540,395, or 52%, when comparing the three months ended September 30, 2011 with the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in our selling expenses was primarily because salary paid to our own sales forces reduced when we outsourced part of our student recruiting to several local agents. This strategy enabled us to focus more on course design and training organization and arrangements rather than sales promotion. For the same period of 2010, we used both local agents and our own sales force to conduct student recruiting. As a result, more salary was paid to our own sales force. As a result, selling expense was higher in 2010 than in 2011. We expect our selling and marketing expense to remain at a relatively stable level in the near future as we continue to use outsourced sales agents to help promote our training courses and conduct part of the student recruiting tasks.
General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses principally include staff salaries and benefits, traveling and entertainment expenses, professional fees, such as consulting, audit and legal fees, rent expense and other associated fees. Our general administrative expenses decreased $89,030, or 9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in our general and administrative expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was due to decreased professional and consulting fee paid to maintain our Company’s public status in the United States. For the same period of 2010, since we had just become a publicly-listed Company, we paid more professional and consulting fees to various service providers in order to organize a road show and familiarize us with the U.S. capital market. As a result, such professional fees were higher in the same period of 2010.
Provision for income taxes and deferred tax benefit. Our variable interest entity are governed by the income tax laws of the PRC and are subject to a statutory rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred income taxes of $506,491. For the same period in 2010, we reported a deferred income tax benefit of $373,415 resulting in a net operating loss carry-forward.
Net income (loss). As a result of the cumulative effect of the foregoing factors, we reported a net loss of $1.11 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to a net loss of $1.46 million for the same period of 2010, a decrease of $344,161, or 24%. The decrease in our net loss was due to the restatements of several line items in our income statement and was also affected by decreased operating expenses for the period indicated as discussed above.

The decrease in our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the prior period, was attributed to a number of factors, including:
28
First, revenue from preliminary training courses increased $167,699, or 4%, for the nine ended September 30,2011, as compared to the prior period, because of increased student recruiting and attendance during the period. The number of students participating the proprietary training courses increased from 3,158 students in 2010 to 4,715 students in 2011 as a result of using outsourced local agents to promote our training programs, which broadened our market coverage. As more students attended the preliminary training courses, sales revenue increased accordingly. The increase in student recruiting was offset by decreased average tuition price from $1,509 per course in 2010 to $1,046 per course in 2011 because the Company focused on promotional sales seminars during 2011 aiming to recruit more students to participate the training courses in the near future. As a result, the tuition collected from such promotional seminars was lower than ordinary course offerings. Our overall increase in sales revenue from preliminary training courses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 reflected the above combined factors.
Second, revenue from comprehensive training programs decreased from $983,732, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $731,370 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $252,362, or 26%. The Company’s comprehensive training programs included 16 courses, among which 10 courses are taught by Chinese lecturers, and the remaining 6 courses are to be taught by invited foreign lecturers. The 10 courses normally are completed within 3 months; and the 6 courses can normally be completed within a 6-9 month periods, because the invitation and arrangement schedule need to be made in advance. For those students who have completed their 10 course taught by Chinese lecturers, they must wait for the foreign lecturers’ arrival in order to move forward. This may affect the student course attendance from period to period. The decrease in revenue from comprehensive training programs was primarily affected by decreased student participation in comprehensive trainings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, three invited foreign lecturers, Mr. John Grey , Mr. John Maxwell and Mr. Colin Powell provided lecturers to students. As a result, 120 students attended the comprehensive course training programs. For the same period of 2011, two invited foreign lecturers went to China to perform the lectures; as a result, only 98 students attended the courses. In addition, average tuition price also dropped from $8,198 per students in 2010 to $7,463 in 2011. This was because students paid higher price in order to attend the lecture given by Mr. Colin Powell in 2010.
Cost of revenue. Our cost of revenue increased by approximately $0.54 million, or 11%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010. The following table summarizes the cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

The increase in our cost of sales was primarily due to the following reasons:
First, cost of lecturer’s compensation amounted to $1.49 million, or 28% of the total cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing a $207,428 increase as compared to the corresponding period of 2010. The increase in lecturers’ compensation cost was in line with the increased students attendance. As discussed above, a total of 4,813 students participated in the trainings during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to 3,278 students in the same period of 2010. As more students attended the trainings, more lecturers' compensation was paid.
Second, the cost of hotel and conference rooms for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $874,986, or 43%, as compared to the prior period. The increase in hotel and conference room costs was mainly because more students attended the trainings as discussed above. In addition, in August 2011 we organized and held a training conference in Australia named “Anthony Robin dating the life”. Hotel and conference expense incurred to send students to participate in the training held overseas was higher than in the domestic market. Furthermore, in 2011, in order to create a more comfortable educational environment for student trainings, we raised the hotel and conference room selection standards which led to an increase in our hotel and conference room costs as well.

Gross profit and gross margin. Our gross profit decreased by $0.63 million, or 74%, to $0.22 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared with $0.85 million for the same period in 2010, due to decreased revenue and increased cost of revenue as discussed above. Our gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 15% in the prior comparative period for the same reasons indicated.
Selling expenses. Our selling expenses mainly include advertising expense, sales commission paid to outside agents for student recruiting and salaries paid to our own sales forces. Selling expenses increased $0.24 million, or 10%, when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2011 with nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in our selling expenses was in line with the increased students recruiting for the period indicated. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a total of 4,813 students have been recruited and participated the trainings as compared to 3,278 students in the same period of 2010. We expect our selling and marketing expense to remain at a relatively stable level in the near future as we continue to use outsourced sales agent to help promote our training courses and conduct part of the student recruiting tasks.
General and administrative expenses. Our general administrative expense decreased by $506,109, or 17%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the prior period. The decrease was mainly due to decreased professional fees paid in connection with maintaining our public status in the United States. We went public in February 2010 and incurred a significant amount of professional fees, such as shell company purchase, audit, legal and other consulting fees paid to various service providers. For the same period of 2011, we only paid routine professional and consulting fees to service providers to maintain our Company’s public status.
We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase as we expand our business and operations. In addition, as a result of the Company’s shares of common stock being quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, we need to enhance our management’s skills to adapt to a more complex business environment, because we are subject to the rules and regulations of United States securities laws, including those pertaining to corporate governance and internal controls. We believe that we will need to hire more personnel as our business continues to grow, and that we will incur additional general and administrative costs in the near future to support our business.
Deferred income tax benefit. Due to the operating loss and carry-forward, we reported deferred income tax benefits of $476,377 and $1,107,897 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This was affected by the restatement of certain line items included in our previously issued financial statements.
Net income(loss). As a result of the cumulative effect of the foregoing factors, we reported a net loss of $3.99 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to a net loss of $3.46 million for the same period of 2010, an increase of $526,496, or 15%. The decrease in our net loss was due to the restatement of several line items in our income statement and was also affected by decreased operating expenses for the period indicated as discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $5.75 million. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations. Based on our current operating plan, we believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital requirements for our current operations.
The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $3,564,383 which mainly consisted of our net loss of $3,987,366, offset by net changes in operating assets and liabilities due to our operating activities, including a deferred tax benefit of $1,009,448 resulting from a net operating loss carry-forward. In addition, our advance to vendors increased by $778,156, which mainly represents our payments made to invited foreign lecturers in order to provide educational training service to Chinese students, and our deferred revenue increased $4,037,794 representing amounts received in advance from students for tuition paid to attend our professional training courses and featured lectures.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,899,787 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, which mainly consisted of our net loss of $3,460,870, offset by net changes in operating assets and liabilities due to our operating activities, including deferred tax benefit of $2,595,961 resulting from a net operating loss carry-forward, decrease in advance to vendors of $246,029, which represents cash paid to several well-known foreign lecturers for educational services provided to students in 2010. In addition, an increase of deferred revenue of $10,383,844, which were cash advances made to us by our students to attend our training courses or featured lectures.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011and 2010 amounted to $610,887 and $117,424, respectively, representing acquisition of property and equipment in the same amount.
Financing Activities
There were no financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $1,785,244, including a receivable from a shareholder of $1,804,620, a dividend payment of $1,401,024 and proceeds from issuance of common shares under a private placement of $1,420,400.
As a result of the above factors, as of September 30, 2011, we have $5.75 million available cash on hand. We expect to use such funds to continue to emphasize expanding and enhancing marketing and sales in fiscal year 2011 and beyond. Part of this strategy involves increasing and improving marketing and sales activities to enhance the market position of our key course offerings, solidifying our market coverage, and increasing promotional activities. Management also plans to selectively pursue strategic acquisition opportunities to further consolidate our resources and expand our market coverage.
Obligations Under Material Contracts
We have no material obligations to pay cash or deliver cash to any other party.
Seasonality
Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have not been subject to seasonal variations.
Inflation
Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business, and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future. However, our management will closely monitor price changes in the Chinese economy and our industry and continually maintain effective cost controls in operations.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to an investment in our securities.

Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are those we believe are most important to portraying our financial conditions and results of operations and also require the greatest amount of subjective or complex judgments by management. Judgments and uncertainties regarding the application of these policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under various conditions or using different assumptions. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(e), our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kaien Liang, and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Zhiwei Huang, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of September 30, 2011. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, Messieurs. Liang and Huang determined that, because of the material weaknesses described in Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which we are still in the process of remediating as of September 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Investors are directed to Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for the description of these weaknesses.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.
During its evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, our management concluded that we still need to hire qualified accounting personnel and enhance the supervision, monitoring and review of the financial statement preparation process. Although our accounting staff is professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generally accepted in the PRC, management has determined that they require additional training and assistance in U.S. GAAP. We are actively searching for additional personnel with relevant accounting experience, skills and knowledge in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and financial reporting disclosure requirements under SEC rules.
Other than the foregoing changes, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
