its advertising expenditures to build brand recognition. For the three months

compared to same period last year. In Renminbi ("RMB"), revenue grew 32% to RMB
314.7 million from RMB 238.9 million last year. The lower growth rate in

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 December 31, 2010 and
2009 was 0.1521 and 0.1547 and for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and
2009 was 0.1528 and 0.1576. The movement of the Chinese currency relative to the
Canadian dollar in the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 resulted in
the statement of operations in Canadian dollars being 2% and 4% less than would
have been reported if the Company had used the average exchange rate for the
same period of 2009, respectively.
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
and six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, immediately prior to their
conversion to Canadian dollars.

The statutory income tax rate in the PRC is 25% and in Canada is 33%. During the
first quarter, the Company implemented procedures to reduce the level of
non-deductible expenses in the PRC which lowered the effective tax rate in the
quarter to 26% compared to 31% for the same quarter last year. Tax losses in
Canada for which no accounting benefit has been recognized further increased the
effective tax rate tax to 27% for the three months ended December 31, 2010
compared to 30% last year.

Net income decreased 10% to $5.0 million for the three months ended December 31,

RMB 32.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to RMB
35.9 million in the second quarter of last year. Revenue growth of 30% generated
an additional $3.1 million of gross profit which was more than offset by
increases in selling expenses of $3.7 million, general and administrative
expenses of $0.4 million, and research and development expenses of $0.1 million
resulting in lower net income of $1.1 million, which was reduced by lower income
taxes of $0.6 million resulted in a decrease in net income of 10% or $0.5
million. Net income decreased 9% to $12.1 million for the six months ended
December 31, 2010 for the same combination of reasons.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share was 8 cents for the three months ended
December 31, 2010 compared to 11 cents for the same quarter last year and was 19
cents for the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to 26 cents for the
first six months of fiscal 2010. There were 62,128,100 shares issued and
outstanding as at December 31, 2010. The weighted average number shares
outstanding during the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was
62,208,740 and 51,375,000, respectively and for the six months ended December
31, 2010 and 2009 was 62,234,256 and 50,687,500, respectively. As a result of
the application of continuity of interest accounting, all periods prior to the
initial public offering completed on December 21, 2009 are deemed to have
50,000,000 shares issued and outstanding for the purpose of determining earnings
per share.
Summary of Quarterly Results
The following table is a summary of the selected quarterly financial information
for each of the eight quarters ended December 31, 2010. The results over the
last eight quarters are impacted by the fluctuation of the RMB against the
Canadian dollar. Revenue has increased over the past eight quarters as a result
of the expansion of the number of distributor and corporate owned retail outlets
by 32% from 1,544 retail outlets at January 1, 2009 to 2,035 retail outlets as
at December 31, 2010.

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.
The Company has been expanding and utilizing cash to increase its brand
recognition and support its' growth in retail outlets. As a result, the cash on
hand has decreased from $85.9 million as at June 30, 2010 to $81.7 million as at
December 31, 2010. The cash on hand is expected to decrease next quarter as the
Company anticipates beginning construction of its new building.
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 $2.7 million
as at December 31, 2010 from $1.6 million as at June 30, 2010 but was lower than
the level at December 31, 2009 of $9.9 million. The other components of
inventory decreased 55% to $0.9 million.
Accounts receivable decreased to $30.5 million as at December 31, 2010 compared
to $34.1 million as at June 30, 2010 and $28.7 million as at December 31, 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 62 days for the three months ended
December 31, 2010 compared to 60 days for the year ended June 30, 2010 and 58
days for the three months ended December 31, 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 used by operating activities for the three months ended December 31,
2010 was $4.9 million compared to $4.6 million for the same quarter last year.
During the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, net cash provided by
operating activities was $2.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively. During the
three months ended December 31, 2010, the increased accounts payable on subsidy
payments expected to be made in future quarters increased the use of cash in the
quarter. No dividends were paid out during the three or six months ended
December 31, 2010 or 2009. Net cash provided/(used) during the three months
ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was ($9.8) million and $28.7 million,
respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company's
initial public offering raised cash of $34.0 million.
Working capital increased from $89.5 million (RMB 572.5 million) as at June 30,
2010 to $95.7 million (RMB 634.1 million) as at December 31, 2010 as a result of
the growth in revenue and profitability.
Capital Expenditures
The Company's capital expenditures primarily relate to its investment in
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
received building permits for its planned construction of a new ten storey
building. The Company has been delayed on its construction as the City of Shishi
has been constructing an eight lane highway in front of the planned building
site. Once the highway construction has been completed, the Company will be in a
position to begin construction which we anticipate will be in April, 2011. The
Company expects to complete construction of the building and installation of two
new production lines by the second quarter of fiscal 2012 at a cost of
approximately $7 million. Additional research and development and quality
control equipment will also be installed at a cost of approximately $3 million.
Capital Structure
Shares Outstanding
As of December, 2010, the Company has 62,128,100 common shares issued and
outstanding. As of February 25, 2011, the date of this MD&A, the Company has
62,080,400 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 commenced on October 4, 2010 and
will terminate on October 3, 2011, or on such earlier date as the Bid is
completed or otherwise terminated by Zungui.
During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company repurchased 131,400
shares at an average price of $2.79 for total proceeds of $0.4 million. All of
the repurchased shares have been cancelled. Subsequent to December 31, 2010, the
Company repurchased under its normal course issuer bid 47,700 shares at an
average price of $2.67 for total proceeds of $0.1 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
On December 13, 2010, the Company granted 150,000 stock options to employee and
non-employee directors at an exercise price of $2.65 and an expiry date of
December 13, 2015.
In addition, there are 700,000 stock options outstanding granted to consultants
and 950,000 stock options outstanding previously 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.

Net Proceeds $ 34,800
-------------------
The disbursement of the network expansion proceeds is expected to continue to
increase during the next two quarters of fiscal 2011 as distributors achieve the
criteria for payment of the subsidies. The Company does not expect to utilize
approximately $5.7 million of the expansion proceeds for the original 350 new
retail outlets opened in calendar 2010. 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. 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 $1.4 million as at December 31, 2010 and
June 30, 2010.
A loan was received from a director of Honorable for $0.4 million as at December
31, 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.
On January 5, 2011, the Company entered into a consulting contract with a China
based firm to provide management training, over a two year period, to the 50
most senior executives at Mengshida. The consideration for these services will
be an option on 800,000 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of
$2.60 per share. The options have been granted and is settled upon exercise
through the transfer of shares of the Company from the holdings of the Chairman
and controlling shareholder. The options have an expiry date of January 5, 2013.
The Company has the right to terminate this agreement by July 1, 2011 and
require the consultant to return the option on 800,000 common shares of the
Company if it is not satisfied with the services provided.
Financial Instruments and Other Instruments
The Company held cash of $81.7 million on its balance sheet as at December 31,
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 will issue its financial statement in the
first quarter of 2012 in accordance with IFRS including comparative data for
2011.
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. During the second
quarter of 2011, the Company engaged an external advisor to assist with the
initial assessment phase of the process and develop a conversion plan for the
detailed assessment, design and implementation phase of the project. The Company
has completed its initial analysis of key areas for which changes to accounting
policies may be required and is currently in the detailed analysis phase of the
project reviewing all relevant IFRS requirements and identification of areas
requiring accounting policies changes or those with accounting policy
alternatives. The Company will continue to assess the first-time adoption
requirements and alternatives (IFRS 1) throughout the next two quarters and
finalize the first-time adoption alternatives prior to June 30, 2010. The
Company will review the impact on information technology, internal controls and
contractual arrangements during the next two quarters. 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. Through to June 30, 2011, the Company expects to open an additional 40
corporate-owned retail outlets and 100 distributor retail outlets.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009
(Unaudited)
(Expressed in thousands of Canadian Dollars except
per share and share amounts)
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. 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 $4,335.
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, resulting in
net proceeds of $2,278 after deducting the underwriters' fees and other 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. Refer to Note 7(d).
3. 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 8.
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 15. 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 will issue its financial statement in the first quarter of
2012 in accordance with IFRS including comparative data for 2011.
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. During the second
quarter of 2011, the Company engaged an external advisor to assist with the
initial assessment phase of the process and develop a conversion plan for the
detailed assessment, design and implementation phase of the project. 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.

average assumptions:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Six Months Ended
December 31, 2009
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Risk-free interest rate 1.59-2.46
Expected dividend yield 0.0%
Expected volatility 54.3%
Expected option life (in years) 2 - 4
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of companies in

Government of Canada T-bills with similar maturities. The expected option life
was estimated based on vesting schedule and the expiry date for the compensation
options.

assumptions:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
(e) See Note 17.
14. CONTINGENCY
Pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations of the PRC, the Company makes
contributions to the local Labour and Social Security Bureaus based on a rate
determined by the local bureaus. The process of determining this rate involves
uncertainties and judgments on the part of the Bureaus. Significant estimates
and judgement are applied by management to determine the appropriate amount of
social insurance to be paid. The Directors of Mengshida have jointly made
personal guarantees to indemnify the Company for any premiums for social
insurance in arrears and all related fines, penalties, interest and other
payments in excess of RMB 4,465,000 ($674) that the Company may be required to
make relating to periods prior to December 31, 2009 in the event of a dispute or
settlement with the applicable government authorities. See Note 13(c).
15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured on an ongoing basis at
fair value or amortized cost. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point
in time, using available information about the financial instrument. These
estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and the exercise of
significant judgement. The fair value of financial assets and financial
liabilities approximates their carrying value due to their short term maturity.
The classification of the financial instruments as well as their carrying values
is shown in the table below:

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 or six months ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2010, the Company had $20,269 in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related party $433. All
financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than one year as of
December 31, 2010.
16. 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:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 31, June 30,
2010 2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shareholders' equity excluding accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss) $ 109,583 $ 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 December 31, 2010.
17. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On January 5, 2011, the Company entered into a consulting contract with a China
based firm to provide management training, over a two year period, to the 50
most senior executives at Mengshida. The consideration for these services is an

controlling shareholder. The options have an expiry date of January 5, 2013. The
Company has the right to terminate this agreement by July 1, 2011 and require
the consultant to return the option on 800,000 common shares of the Company if
