VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES [Abstract]

NOTE 3.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

To satisfy PRC laws and regulations, the Company conducts certain business in the PRC through its Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”).

Risks in Relation to the VIE Structure:

The Ministry of Commerce of PRC (“MOFCOM”) published a discussion draft of the proposed Foreign Investment Law (the “Draft”) in January 2015 aiming to, upon its enactment, replace the trio of existing laws regulating foreign investment in China. The Draft embodies an expected PRC regulatory trend to rationalize its foreign investment regulatory regime in line with prevailing international practice and the legislative efforts to unify the corporate legal requirements for both foreign and domestic investments.

The MOFCOM is currently soliciting comments on the Draft and substantial uncertainties exist with respect to its enactment timetable, interpretation and implementation. The Draft, if enacted as proposed, may materially impact the viability of our current corporate structure, corporate governance and business operations. The Draft expands the definition of foreign investment and introduces the principle of "actual control" in determining whether a company is considered a Foreign Investment Enterprise (“FIE”).

Under the Draft, Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) that are controlled via contractual arrangement would be deemed as FIEs, if they are ultimately "controlled" by foreign investors. Therefore, for any companies with a VIE structure in an industry category that falls under restricted to foreign investment or prohibited from foreign investment, the VIE structure may be deemed legitimate only if the ultimate controlling persons) is/are of PRC nationality (either PRC companies or PRC citizens). Conversely, if the actual controlling person(s) is/are of foreign nationalities, then the VIEs will be treated as FIEs and any operation in the industry category falls under restricted to foreign investment or prohibited from foreign investment, without market entry clearance may be considered as illegal. Moreover, for the enterprises which are not incorporated under the laws of China (foreign investors) but are "controlled" by Chinese investors, they may submit documentary evidence to apply for identifying their investment as the investment by Chinese investors when they applying for the market entry clearance to engage in any investment as set out in industries restricted to foreign investment or prohibited from foreign investment in China. The competent authorities of foreign investment will grant the review opinion on whether the said investment is identified as the investment by Chinese investors.

In conclusion, if the Draft enacted as proposed, it is possible that the Company's conduct of certain of its operations and businesses through the VIEs could be found by PRC authorities to be in violation of PRC laws and regulations prohibiting or restricting foreign ownership of companies that engage in such operations and businesses. If such a finding were made, regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over the licensing and operation of such businesses would have broad discretion in dealing with such a violation, including levying fines, confiscating the Company's income, revoking the business or operating licenses of the affected businesses, requiring the Company to restructure its ownership structure or operations, or requiring the Company to discontinue all or any portion of its operations. Any of these actions could cause significant disruption to the Company's business operations, and have a material adverse impact on the Company's cash flows, financial position and operating performance. The Company's management considers the possibility of such a finding by PRC regulatory authorities to be remote.

These contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing the Company with control over the VIEs as direct ownership. Due to its VIE structure, the Company has to rely on contractual rights to effect control and management of the VIEs, which exposes it to the risk of potential breach of contract by the shareholders of the VIEs for a number of reasons. For example, their interests as shareholders of the VIEs and the interests of the Company may conflict and the Company may fail to resolve such conflicts; the shareholders may believe that breaching the contracts will lead to greater economic benefit for them; or the shareholders may otherwise act in bad faith. If any of the foregoing were to happen, the Company may have to rely on legal or arbitral proceedings to enforce its contractual rights, including specific performance or injunctive relief, and claiming damages. Such arbitral and legal proceedings may cost substantial financial and other resources, and result in a disruption of its business, and the Company cannot assure that the outcome will be in its favor. 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 that the Company is unable to enforce any of these agreements, the Company would not be able to exert effective control over the affected VIEs and consequently, the results of operations, assets and liabilities of the affected VIEs and their subsidiaries would not be included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. If such were the case, the Company's cash flows, financial position and operating performance would be materially adversely affected.

The Company's agreements with respect to its consolidated VIEs are approved and in place. The Company's management believes that such agreements are enforceable, and considers it a remote possibility that PRC regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over the Company's operations and contractual relationships would find the agreements to be unenforceable under existing laws.

The significant terms of the VIE Agreements are summarized below:

Exclusive Technical Consulting Service Agreement: During the term of this Agreement, Science & Technology Trading shall provide the following technical consulting services to Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian) in accordance with this Agreement: (i) Provision of advanced management skills to offer a framework for the construction of a new management platform; (ii) Provision of technology information and materials related to Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian)'s business development and operation. The content of the technology information and documents may be enhanced or diminished during the performance of this Agreement and upon mutual agreement to address each Party's requirements; and (iii) Training of technical and managerial personnel for Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian) and provision of required training documents. Science & Technology Trading will send technologists and managerial personnel to Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian) to provide related technology and training services as necessary. Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian) hereby agrees to accept the technical consulting services provided by Science & Technology Trading.

Exclusive Equity Interest Purchase Agreement: Under the Exclusive Option Agreements entered into by and among Science & Technology Trading, each of the PRC Shareholders irrevocably granted to Science & Technology Trading the exclusive right to purchase or designate one or more persons to purchase all or any portion of the Equity Interest from the PRC Shareholders subject to compliance with legal restrictions under applicable PRC laws. The PRC Shareholders shall not sell or transfer all or any portion of the Equity Interest to any party other than Science & Technology Trading and/or the Specified Person.

Equity Interest Pledge Agreement: Under the Equity Pledge Agreements entered into by and among Science& Technology Trading, the PRC Operating Entities and each of the PRC Shareholders, the PRC Shareholders pledged all of their equity interests in the PRC Operating Entities as security to ensure that Science& Technology Trading collects the Consulting Fee under the Service Agreement. The Pledge shall be effective as of the date that the Pledge is recorded in the register of shareholders of Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian) and shall remain effective so long as this Agreement remains in effect. During the Term of the Pledge, Science& Technology Trading shall be entitled to foreclose on the Pledge in accordance with this Agreement in the event that Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian) fail to pay the Consulting Fees in accordance with the Service Agreement. Science& Technology Trading shall be entitled to exercise, dispose of or assign the Pledge in accordance with this Agreement.

Powers of Attorney: The PRC Shareholders have each executed an irrevocable power of attorney to appoint Science& Technology Trading as their sole representative with full authority to perform and exercise any and all shareholder's rights associated with the Equity Interest, including but not limited to, the right to attend shareholders' meetings, the right to execute shareholders' resolutions, the right to sell, assign, transfer or pledge any or all of the Equity Interest and the right to vote the Equity Interest for all matters, including but not limited to, the appointment of legal representatives, board members, executive directors, inspectors, chief managers and other senior management officers and the submission of all the Company's related documentations to the competent authorities. The term of each power of attorney is valid so long as such shareholder is a shareholder of the respective PRC Operating Entity.

As a result of these VIE Agreements, the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Science& Technology Trading, was granted with unconstrained decision making rights and power over key strategic and operational functions that would significantly impact the PRC Operating Entities or the VIEs' economic performance, which includes, but is not limited to, the development and execution of the overall business strategy; important and material decision making; decision making for merger and acquisition targets and execution of merger and acquisition plans; business partnership strategy development and execution; government liaison; operation management and review; and human resources recruitment and compensation and incentive strategy development and execution. Science& Technology Trading also provides comprehensive services to the VIEs for their daily operations, such as operational technical support, OA technical support, accounting support, general administration support and technical support for products and services. As a result of the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreements, the Equity Pledge Agreements and the Exclusive Option Agreements, the Company will bear all of the VIEs' operating costs in exchange for 100% of the net income of the VIEs. Under these agreements, the Company has the absolute and exclusive right to enjoy economic benefits similar to equity ownership through the VIE Agreements with our PRC Operating Entities and their shareholders.

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.

The assets of the variable interest entities (the “VIEs”) can be used to settle obligations ofthe consolidated entities. Conversely, liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional claims on the Company's general assets.

Most of our operations are conducted through our affiliated companies which the Company controls through contractual agreements in the form of variable interest entities. Current regulations in China permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only out of its accumulated distributable profits, if any, determined in accordance with their articles of association and PRC accounting standards and regulations. The ability of these Chinese affiliates to make dividends and other payments to us may be restricted by factors that include changes in applicable foreign exchange and other laws and regulations.

Under PRC law, our subsidiary may only pay dividends after 10% of its after-tax profits have been set aside as reserve funds, unless such reserves have reached at least 50% of its registered capital. Such cash reserve may not be distributed as cash dividends.

The PRC Income Tax Law also imposes a 10% withholding income tax on dividends generated on or after January 1, 2008 and distributed by a resident enterprise to its foreign investors, if such foreign investors are considered as non-resident enterprise without any establishment or place within China or if the received dividends have no connection with such foreign investors' establishment or place within China, unless such foreign investors' jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.

As of March 31, 2015, there were no such retained earnings available for distribution.

The following financial statement amounts and balances of the VIEs were included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively:

	March 31, 2015		December 31, 2014
	(Unaudited)

Total assets	$	834,476	$	1,063,768

Total liabilities	$	856,631	$	1,247,265

	For Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015		2014
	(Unaudited)		(Unaduited)
Revenues	$	397,276	$	282,212

Net income (loss)	$	140,471	$	(63,874	)

All of our current revenue is generated in PRC currency Renminbi (“RMB”). Any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use net revenues generated in Renminbi to make dividends or other payments in U.S. dollars or fund possible business activities outside China.

Foreign currency exchange regulation in China is primarily governed by the following rules:

Foreign Exchange Administration Rules (1996), as amended in August 2008, or the Exchange Rules;

Administration Rules of the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange (1996), or the Administration Rules.

Under the Administration Rules, RMB is freely convertible for current account items, including the distribution of dividends, interest payments, trade and service related foreign exchange transactions, but not for capital account items, such as direct investments, loans, repatriation of investments and investments in securities outside of China, unless the prior approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) is obtained and prior registration with the SAFE is made. Foreign-invested enterprises like ours that need foreign exchange for the distribution of profits to their shareholders may affect payment from their foreign exchange accounts or purchase and pay foreign exchange rates at the designated foreign exchange banks to their foreign shareholders by producing board resolutions for such profit distribution. Based on their needs, foreign-invested enterprises are permitted to open foreign exchange settlement accounts for current account receipts and payments of foreign exchange along with specialized accounts for capital account receipts and payments of foreign exchange at certain designated foreign exchange banks.
