Zungui Haixi Corporation (TSX VENTURE:ZUN), a China-based manufacturer of
sportswear and casual footwear, today announced its financial results for the
three months ended September 30, 2010. All amounts in this release are in
Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
"In our first year of being a public company, we have added almost 350 new
retail outlets, increased revenue and maintained profitability," indicated Mr.
Yanda Cai, Chief Executive Officer. "With more than 2,000 retail outlets, store
expansions continue to build our brand prominence and remain key to our growth."
Highlights for the First Quarter:
- Revenue increased 17% to $50.4 million and in RMB, revenue increased 23%
to RMB 328.5 million;
- Gross margin declined to 25.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011
compared to 27.3% in the same quarter last year as a result of subsidy
payments to distributors for new store openings which lowered the gross
margin by 3.1%;
- Opened a quarterly record of 120 net new distributor owned retail outlets
compared to 72 retail outlets for the same quarter last year;
- Corporate-owned retail outlets reported revenue of $0.7 million compared
to $0.1 million for the same quarter last year reflecting a start up phase
of development;
- Selling expenses increased 200% to $1.8 million as part of the launch of
the brand recognition strategy with increased advertising;
- Net income decreased 8% to $7.1 million reflecting payments expensed to
distributors on new store openings and increased selling expenses; and,
- Diluted earnings per share of 11 cents compared to 15 cents for the same
quarter last year based on a 25% increase in the weighted average number
of shares outstanding in the period and a 3 cent impact for subsidy
payments.
During the quarter, the Company expensed a portion of the subsidy payment that
will be made to distributors once the new stores reach the required operating
criteria. This item reduced our revenue growth by 5% but will benefit the
Company over the longer term with increased revenue. Subsequent to September 30,
2010, the Company and its distributors have opened an additional 112 retail
outlets increasing the number of retail outlets to 2,038.
On a trailing 12 month basis, the Company's revenue is $171.3 million, net
income is $26.4 million and diluted earnings per share is 44 cents.
The results were impacted by the movement of the Chinese currency relative to
the Canadian dollar. During the first quarter ended September 30, 2010 the
average foreign exchange rate used to convert one Chinese Renminbi ("RMB") was
0.1535 expressed in Canadian dollars compared to 0.1606 for the same quarter
last year. If the 2011 first quarter results were converted at the prior year's
average exchange rate for the quarter, 2011 first quarter earnings per share
would have been 12 cents.
Conference Call
Zungui will host a conference call to discuss the first quarter results at 9am
(EST) November 24, 2010. The details are as follows:

Overview
Zungui is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of athletic footwear,
apparel and accessories ("Sportswear Product Line") and casual leather footwear
("Casual Product Line") in the PRC. Both product lines are marketed under the
well-recognized ZUNGUI brand. As of September 30, 2010, Zungui distributes its
products to consumers through 44 corporate-owned retail outlets and through 47
distributors, who in turn sell products via an extensive network of 1,882 retail
outlets, 1,515 of which offer the Sportswear Product Line and 367 of which offer
the Casual Product Line. All retail outlets exclusively sell products which
carry the ZUNGUI brand.
During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company focused on revenue
growth and increased profitability through the expansion of its retail network.
It provided services and training and accrued subsidies to distributors to help
meet customer needs and increase their sales. For the three months ended
September 30, 2010, revenue grew 17% to $50.4 million from $43.0 million
compared to same period last year. In Renminbi ("RMB"), revenue grew 23% to RMB
328.5 million from RMB 267.9 million last year. The lower growth rate in
Canadian dollars is attributable to the fluctuations in the Chinese currency
relative to the Canadian dollar reporting currency in 2009 and 2010.

The following table sets forth selected financial information for the periods
indicated. The selected financial information has been derived from the
Company's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three

Factors Affecting Results of Operations
Foreign Currency
All of the Company's revenues and expenses, other than the corporate expenses,
are generated in the PRC. Accordingly, the results of operations are impacted by
the fluctuation of the RMB against the Canadian dollar when converted for
financial reporting purposes. The weighted average exchange rate for one RMB,
expressed in Canadian dollars, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and
2009 was 0.1535 and 0.1606. The movement of the Chinese currency relative to the
Canadian dollar in the three months ended September 30, 2010 resulted in the
statement of operations in Canadian dollars being 6% less than would have been
reported if the Company had used the average exchange rate for the same period
of 2009.
Financial Highlights in RMB
The following table sets forth selected financial information for the Company
for the periods indicated in RMB which is the Company's functional currency for
its wholly owned subsidiary in China. The Company's head office's functional
currency is Canadian dollars. The Company uses Canadian dollars as its reporting
currency. This information has been derived from the Company's records
supporting the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three
months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, immediately prior to their conversion
to Canadian dollars.

$38.7 million (Q1 2010 - $32.3 million) in revenue from athletic footwear and
$6.0 million (Q1 2010 - $4.8 million) from casual footwear. The growth in
revenue was the result of increased number of retail outlets (1,926 retail

demand for the Company's products and price increases implemented late in March,
2010.

pricing increased 8% this quarter, however, higher selling prices compared to

Outsourced production accounted for 61% of the units sold compared to 58% for
the same quarter last year. There has been a shift in the mix of shoes selected

earnings per share.
Summary of Quarterly Results

for each of the eight quarters ended September 30, 2010. The results over the
last eight quarters are impacted by the fluctuation of the RMB against the

of the expansion of the number of distributor and corporate owned retail outlets
by 27% from 1,514 retail outlets at October 1, 2008 to 1,926 retail outlets as

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
The purpose of liquidity management is to ensure there is sufficient cash to
meet all of the Company's financial commitments and obligations as they fall
due. The Company believes that it has the flexibility to obtain, from current
cash holdings and ongoing operations, the funds needed to fulfill its cash
requirements during the current financial year. The Company's main source of
funds is from the sales of its products to distributors and cash on hand. The
Company's use of funds is primarily for its operating expenses including the
payment for its production of footwear and outsourced production to third party
suppliers.
Through the Company's growth and expansion, with cash from operations of $7.6
million, it has increased its cash on hand from $85.9 million as at June 30,
2010 to $91.5 million as at September 30, 2010.
The Company commences its manufacturing or outsourcing of most products at the
time that it enters into a binding production contract with the distributor to
limit its inventory levels. Finished goods inventory increased to $2.4 million
as at September 30, 2010 from $1.6 million as at June 30, 2010 but was lower
than the level at September 30, 2009 of $5.6 million. The other components of
inventory decreased 52% to $0.9 million.
Accounts receivable increased to $35.7 million as at September 30, 2010 compared
to $34.1 million as at June 30, 2010 and $24.0 million as at September 30, 2009
as sales continued to increase and extended payment terms continued to be
offered to certain distributors to provide support to them to open more retail
stores. The days sales outstanding is 63 days for the three months ended
September 30, 2010 compared to 60 days for the year ended June 30, 2010 and 49
days for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The Company has not
experienced any increase in bad debts or increased provision for allowance for
doubtful accounts.
At present, there are no known demands, commitments, events or uncertainties
that would adversely affect the trends and expected fluctuations in the
Company's liquidity. The Company believes it has the funds required to meet its
business objectives and working capital and other cash requirements for at least
twelve months. However, there can be no assurances that these funds will be
sufficient and the Company may have to evaluate additional means of financing,
including additional debt or equity financing.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended September
30, 2010 was $7.6 million compared to $7.7 million for the same quarter last
year. The growth in the business has been the main driver of the increased cash
generated from operating activities and the decreased working capital
requirement for the period. No dividends were paid out during the three months
ended September 30, 2010 or 2009. Net cash generated during the three months
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $5.6 million.
Working capital increased from $89.5 million (RMB 572.5 million) as at June 30,
2010 to $95.1 million (RMB 618.1 million) as at September 30, 2010 as a result
of the growth in revenue and profitability.
Capital Expenditures
The Company's capital expenditures primarily relate to its investment in the
equipment to upgrade its production lines and leasehold improvements for the
corporate-owned retail outlets. The Company expects to complete the upgrade
and/or replacement of its existing equipment by April, 2011. The Company has
submitted plans for the construction of a new building of ten storeys and is
awaiting approval from government officials. The Company expects to complete
construction of the building and installation of two new production lines by
June, 2011.
Capital Structure
Shares Outstanding
As of September 30, 2010 and current date, November 23, 2010, the Company has
62,259,500 common shares issued and outstanding.
Normal Course Issuer Bid
On September 17, 2010 the Company announced approval from the TSX Venture
Exchange to proceed with a normal course issuer bid. The Company can purchase
for cancellation, at market prices, up to 3,112,975 of its issued and
outstanding common shares, representing 5% of the 62,259,500 common shares
outstanding as at September 29, 2010. The Bid will commence on October 4, 2010
and terminate on October 3, 2011, or on such earlier date as the Bid is
completed or otherwise terminated by Zungui.
As of November 23, 2010, the Company repurchased 70,800 shares at an average
price of $2.88 for total proceeds of $0.2 million. All of the repurchased shares
will be cancelled.
Reorganization and Share Capital
On December 21, 2009, the Company completed a share exchange agreement with
Southern whereby the 10,000 issued and outstanding common shares of Southern
were exchanged for 50,000,000 common shares of the Company. On June 25, 2009,
Southern, an investment holding company, acquired 100% ownership interest in
Honorable Int'l Investment Co., Limited ("Honorable") which is an investment
holding company based in Hong Kong. Honorable acquired 100% interest in
Mengshida Shoes Co., Ltd Shishi City ("Mengshida") on July 25, 2008. Mengshida
manufactures and sells athletic footwear and related apparel and accessories as
well as leisure leather shoes in the PRC.
These reorganization transactions were accounted for on a continuity of interest
basis of accounting whereby the various assets and liabilities are accounted for
at the carrying value in the combining companies' records. Current and
comparative consolidated financial results are presented as if the companies
have always been combined. The number of common shares outstanding has been
restated for the purpose of determining earnings per share to reflect the
reorganization.
Initial Public Offering
On December 21, 2009, the Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO")
by issuing 11,500,000 common shares at a price of $3.25 per common share,
resulting in net proceeds of $33,040 after deducting the underwriters' fees and
other related expenses of the offering of $4,355.
The Company granted the underwriters an over-allotment option exercisable for a
period of 30 days from closing of the IPO to purchase up to an additional
1,725,000 common shares at the issue price. No stock based compensation was
recorded for this option. On January 12, 2010, the underwriters exercised the
over-allotment option and purchased 759,500 common shares at $3.25. Net proceeds
of $2,278 were received after deducting the underwriters' fees and related
expenses of $190.
In addition, the underwriters received compensation options entitling them to
acquire up to 7% of the number of common shares issued under the IPO including
any shares exercised under the over-allotment option. On December 21, 2009, the
underwriters received an option to purchase 805,000 common shares ("compensation
options") at $3.25 for a period of 24 months. On January 12, 2010, the
underwriters received a further 53,165 compensation options in conjunction with
the exercise of the over-allotment that will be exercisable for common shares at
$3.25 per share until January 12, 2012.
Stock Options
There are 700,000 stock options outstanding granted to consultants and 950,000
stock options outstanding granted to employees and non-employee directors. The
stock options have the same terms and conditions and were granted on December
21, 2009 at an exercise price of $3.25 and an expiry date of December 21, 2014.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Use of Proceeds
The Company completed its initial public offering on December 21, 2009 and
received net cash proceeds of $34,759 after deducting the underwriter fees but
prior to the issue costs of $1,719. On January 12, 2010, the Company received a
further $2,278 of net cash proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment
option.

-----------------

The disbursement of the network expansion proceeds is expected to continue to
increase during the next two quarters of fiscal 2011 as more stores are opened
and distributors achieve the criteria for payment of the subsidy payments. The
Company does not expect to pay out all of the expansion use of proceeds for the
original 350 new retail outlets as outlined in the final prospectus dated
December 11, 2009 and filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. This will not affect the
Company's ability to achieve its business objectives and milestones. The Company
will use the remaining funds to construct a larger building and implement growth
plans in fiscal 2011 and beyond in the same manner as outlined above. The
Company recently launched a new strategy in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 on
brand recognition, awareness and image. While the Company intends to use the net
proceeds as stated above, circumstances may arise where, for sound business
reasons and in order to account for currency fluctuations, a reallocation of
monies may be necessary or advisable.
Related Party Transactions
Directors of Mengshida have jointly provided personal guarantees to indemnify
Mengshida on certain potential tax exposures including related interest and
penalties for periods prior to 2006. As a result, the Company has recorded an
other receivables from the directors of $1.3 million as at September 30, 2010
and June 30, 2010.
A loan was received from a director of Honorable for $0.4 million as at
September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010. The loan is not secured, is interest free
and payable on demand.
Directors of Mengshida have jointly made personal guarantees to indemnify the
Company for any premiums for social insurance in arrears in excess of RMB
4,465,000 relating to periods prior to December 31, 2009. One of the Directors
has pledged 2,000,000 common shares of the Company owned by him for any
potential liability that may become payable under this undertaking.
A corporation owned 50% by one of Zungui's Directors received $400,000 in cash
and 700,000 stock options of the Company in trust for various parties as
consideration for services rendered in connection with the initial public
offering. The stock options were granted at $3.25 and vest in equal amounts over
three years. A company controlled by the same Director received 440,000 of the
700,000 stock options granted by the Company. The above transactions were
conducted in the normal course of business and are measured at the exchange
amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the
parties.
Financial Instruments and Other Instruments
The Company held cash of $91.5 million on its balance sheet as at September 30,
2010. The Company does not have any cash equivalents or invested assets. The
Company does not currently utilize any other instruments such as derivative
financial instruments to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk. The
Company's location in the Fujian Province is in close proximity to a large
number of suppliers of raw materials required in the manufacturing of the
Company's products creating procurement efficiency and, as a result, the Company
does not need to enter into any forward future contracts to purchase raw
materials. All of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities are
short term in nature and are measured on an ongoing basis at fair value or
amortized cost.
Adoption of New Accounting Policies
The Company has a stock based compensation plan. The Company estimates the fair
value of options granted to employees, non-employees directors and consultants
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company recognizes the fair
value as a compensation expense over the period that the stock options vest,
with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. When these stock options
are exercised, the amount of the proceeds together with the amount recorded in
contributed surplus, is recorded in share capital.
The CICA has amended Handbook Section 3862 to require enhanced disclosure on the
fair value of certain financial instruments. The Company adopted these
recommendations effective June 30, 2010 and the required disclosures are
included in the note 16 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements. The Company does not have any financial instruments measured at fair
value that require disclosure of the hierarchy levels. These amendments did not
impact the company's results of operations or financial position.
Future Accounting Changes
Transition to IFRS
Canada's Accounting Standards Board ratified a strategic plan that will result
in Canadian GAAP, as used by public companies, being evolved and converged with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") over a transitional period
to be complete by 2011. The Company will be required to report using IFRS
effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2012.
The Company expects the transition to IFRS to have an impact on financial
reporting, business processes and information systems. The Company began a
preliminary assessment during the year ended June 30, 2010. The Company will
invest in training and resources through the transition process to facilitate a
timely conversion.
Business Combinations, Consolidations and Non-Controlling Interests
In January 2009, the CICA issued Handbook Section 1582, Business Combinations
replacing Section 1581, Business Combinations. Section 1582 will apply to a
transaction in which the acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses (as
defined in the Section). Most assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including
contingent liabilities that are considered to be probable, will be measured at
fair value. A bargain purchase will result in the recognition of a gain.
Acquisition costs will be expensed. These standards are applicable to interim
and annual financial statements of the Company beginning on July 1, 2011. The
Company does not anticipate any significant impact upon the adoption of these
standards.
In January 2009, the CICA issued Handbook Section 1601, Consolidated Financial
Statements and 1602, Non-Controlling Interests replacing Section 1600,
Consolidated Financial Statements. Section 1601 establishes standards for the
preparation of consolidated financial statements and Section 1602 establishes
standards for accounting for a non-controlling interest. These standards are
applicable to interim and annual financial statements of the Company beginning
on July 1, 2011. The Company does not anticipate any significant impact upon the
adoption of these standards.
Outlook
The PRC domestic footwear market remains a high growth industry consistent with
the growth of the PRC's economy. Zungui's focus is on the domestic market and
the Company allocates its resources and efforts to meet the demands of China's
growing local markets. Zungui is currently working to increase its presence in
Tier 2 and 3 Cities, with populations ranging up to 5 million people, throughout
the PRC, where both population and disposable income are growing. This increased
presence will be achieved by opening additional corporate-owned retail outlets
and by assisting distributors in expanding their retail presence.
Corporate-owned retail outlets typically offer higher margins than sales through
distributors as well as greater operating flexibility. By increasing the number
of corporate-owned retail outlets, Zungui believes it can focus its growth
strategy in certain regions while complementing its current distribution
network. During the period October 1 - November 23, 2010, the Company has opened
an additional 55 corporate-owned retail outlets and distributors have opened an
additional 57 retail outlets. The number of new stores opened during calendar
year 2010 now totals 341 compared to the target for the full calendar year 2010
of 350 new retail outlets.

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Zungui Haixi Corporation ("Zungui" or "Company") was incorporated under the
Ontario Business Corporation Act on August 11, 2009. Zungui is a holding company
listed on TSX Venture Exchange. Through its subsidiaries, Zungui manufactures
and sells sports footwear and related apparel and accessories as well as leisure
leather shoes in the People's Republic of China ( the "PRC" or "China").
Zungui's wholly owned subsidiaries include Southern Trends International Holding
Company Ltd. ("Southern"), Honorable Int'l Investment Co., Limited ("Honorable")
and Mengshida Shoes Co., Ltd. Shishi City ("Mengshida").
On December 21, 2009, the Company completed a share exchange agreement with
Southern whereby the 10,000 issued and outstanding common shares of Southern
were exchanged for 50,000,000 common shares of the Company. On June 25, 2009,
Southern, an investment holding company, acquired 100% ownership interest in
Honorable which is an investment holding company based in Hong Kong. Honorable
acquired 100% interest in Mengshida on July 25, 2008.
These reorganization transactions were accounted for on a continuity of interest
basis of accounting whereby the various assets and liabilities are accounted for
at the carrying value in the combining companies' records. Current and
comparative consolidated financial results are presented as if the companies
have always been combined. The number of common shares outstanding has been
restated for the purpose of determining earnings per share to reflect the
reorganization.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim
financial statements and are consistent with the accounting policies and methods
of computation as were used in the preparation of the audited consolidated
financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2010. The interim consolidated
financial statements do not contain all the information and disclosures required
by GAAP applicable for annual consolidated financial statements and accordingly
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
for the year ended June 30, 2010. The results of the operations for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the full-year results.
(a) Foreign currency translation
The Company's primary economic activities are in China and the functional
currency is Chinese Renminbi ("RMB") for its wholly owned subsidiary, Mengshida,
located in China. The Company's head office, Honorable and Southern's functional
currency is Canadian dollars. The Company uses Canadian dollars as its reporting
currency. Mengshida is considered to be a self-sustaining foreign operation and
its' financial statements are translated into the reporting currency using the
current rate method. Under this method, revenue and expenses are translated into
the reporting currency using the weighted average exchange rates for the period
and assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at the end of
the period. Capital transactions are translated using historical rates. All
resulting exchange differences are reported as accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss), which is presented as a separate component of shareholders'
equity.
(b) Changes in accounting policies
(i) Stock-based compensation plan
The Company has a stock based compensation plan which is described in Note 7.
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense using the fair value
method. Under this method, the Company estimates the fair value of options
granted to employees, non-employee directors and consultants at the grant date
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company recognizes the fair
value as a compensation expense over the period that the stock options vest on a
straight line basis, with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. When
these stock options are exercised, the amount of the proceeds together with the
amount recorded in contributed surplus, is recorded in share capital.
(ii) Financial Instruments
The CICA has amended Handbook Section 3862 to require enhanced disclosure on the
fair value of certain financial instruments. The Company adopted these
recommendations effective June 30, 2010 and the required disclosures are
included in Note 14. The Company does not have any financial instruments
measured at fair value that require disclosure of the hierarchy levels. These
amendments did not impact the Company's results of operations or financial
position.
(c) Future accounting changes
(i) Transition to IFRS
Canada's Accounting Standards Board ratified a strategic plan that will result
in Canadian GAAP, as used by public companies, being evolved and converged with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") over a transitional period
to be complete by 2011. The Company will be required to report using IFRS for
interim and annual financial statements relating to the fiscal year ended June
30, 2012.
The Company expects the transition to IFRS to have an impact on financial
reporting, business processes and information systems. The Company began a
preliminary assessment during the year ended June 30, 2010. The Company will
invest in training and resources through the transition process to facilitate a
timely conversion.
(ii) Business Combinations, Consolidations and Non-Controlling Interests
In January 2009, the CICA issued Handbook Section 1582, Business Combinations
replacing Section 1581, Business Combinations. Section 1582 will apply to a
transaction in which the acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses (as
defined in the Section). Most assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including
contingent liabilities that are considered to be probable, will be measured at
fair value. A bargain purchase will result in the recognition of a gain.
Acquisition costs will be expensed. These standards are applicable to interim
and annual financial statements of the Company beginning on July 1, 2011. The
Company does not anticipate any significant impact upon the adoption of these
new standards.
In January 2009, the CICA issued Handbook Section 1601, Consolidated Financial
Statements and 1602, Non-Controlling Interests replacing Section 1600,
Consolidated Financial Statements. Section 1601 establishes standards for the
preparation of consolidated financial statements and Section 1602 establishes
standards for accounting for a non-controlling interest. These standards are
applicable to interim and annual financial statements of the Company beginning
on July 1, 2011. The Company does not anticipate any significant impact upon the
adoption of these new standards.

Financial risk management
Financial risk is the risk to the Company's earnings that arises from
fluctuations in market risk (including interest rate risk, foreign currency
risk), credit risk and liquidity risk and the degree of volatility of these
rates. The Company's business practices seek to minimize any potential adverse
effects on the Company's financial performance.
The Company's financial instruments that are included in the consolidated
balance sheets are comprised of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related party. As at the
balance sheet date, there are no significant differences between the carrying
value of these items and their estimated fair values because they are short-term
in nature.
Market risk
Interest risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a
financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
The Company repaid its bank loan on June 25, 2010 and no longer has exposure to
interest rate fluctuations. The Company does not use any derivative financial
instruments to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk.
Foreign Currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a
financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. The Company has financial assets and liabilities in foreign
currencies that expose the Company to foreign exchange risks. The Company has
not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations. The translation of foreign
operations to the reporting currency is not taken into account.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will
default on its obligations. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk
consists of the carrying value of its cash, accounts receivable and other
receivables. The Company places the majority of its cash with a PRC regulated
financial institution.
Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is mitigated through the sales
to numerous different customers. No customer accounted for more than 10% of
total sales. In addition, the Company evaluates the financial position of its
customers and regularly reviews their credit limit. Allowances are established
with regards to potential losses. The Company was not exposed to any particular
credit risk concentration for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and
2009, respectively.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is not able to meet its financial
obligations as they become due. The Company finances its operations through cash
flows from operating activities. The Company's goal is to maintain an optimal
level of liquidity through the active management of the assets and liabilities
as well as the cash flows. As at September 30, 2010, the Company had $33,275 in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related party $449. All
financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than one month as of
September 30, 2010.
15. CAPITAL DISCLOSURE
The Company's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard the entity's
ability to continue as a going concern and continue to provide returns and
benefits for its shareholders. The Company's capital is defined as shareholders'
equity as presented on the consolidated balance sheet excluding accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss). The Company's capital is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 30, 2010 June 30, 2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shareholders' equity excluding
accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) $ 104,840 $ 97,668
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for
management or internally imposed restrictions, but rather promotes
year-over-year sustainable profitable growth. The Company may adjust its capital
mix in order to manage its capital structure. There has been no change with
respect to the overall capital risk management strategy during the three months
ended September 30, 2010.
