CHINA CRESCENT ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
September 30, 2010


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of China Crescent Enterprises, Inc. (formerly known as NewMarket China, Inc. or “NewMarket China”) a Nevada corporation (“we”, “our” or the “Company”), and our consolidated subsidiaries. To date, the majority of our sales have been information technology products and services sold within mainland China through our wholly-owned and majority owned foreign subsidiaries. The Company’s headquarters is located in Dallas, Texas.

The Company is a majority-owned subsidiary of NewMarket Technology, Inc. (“NewMarket”), a Dallas, Texas based systems integration company.
 
In October 2004, we discontinued the operations of Brunetti and implemented steps to liquidate the assets of Brunetti.  On March 1, 2005, Brunetti filed a voluntary petition for relief in the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Colorado under Chapter 7 of Title 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Note 3).

In April 2009, we filed a certificate of amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation to (1) increase the number of authorized common shares from two hundred million (200,000,000) to one billion (1,000,000,000); and  (2) effect a reverse split of the common stock issued and outstanding on a one new share for twenty-five old shares basis. These actions were effective on May 12, 2009 and the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Statement of Shareholder’s Equity and information presented in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by general accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2010 and the results of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for all periods presented. The consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto of the Company included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Certain amounts included in the financial statements are estimated based on currently available information and management's judgment as to the outcome of future conditions and circumstances. Changes in the status of certain facts or circumstances could result in material changes to the estimates used in the preparation of financial statements and actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions. Management makes estimates and assumptions for, but not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, revenue recognition, purchase price allocation, inventory reserves, tax assets and liabilities, depreciation and amortization lives, stock-based compensation, fair value of derivative liabilities, impairment of tangible and intangible assets and other contingencies.

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of China Crescent Enterprises, Inc., and all our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

On January 1, 2008, we adopted the standard that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This standard defines fair value as the amount that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the types of inputs to valuation techniques that companies may use to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1). The next highest priority is given to inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (Level 2). The lowest priority is given to unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available and which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions (Level 3).

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less and money market instruments to be cash equivalents.

Inventory

Inventory, which consists primarily of finished goods, is stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined using the weighted average method.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is provided by use of the accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from five to seven years.

Revenue Recognition

We are engaged in the business of resale of computer hardware and software and IT consulting services in the People’s Republic of China (“China”).  Revenue from product sales, which accounts for the substantial majority of revenue, is recognized upon delivery.  IT Consulting services are invoiced under a time and materials contract.  Revenue is recognized as time is spent on hourly rates, which are negotiated with the customer, plus the cost of any allowable material costs and out-of-pocket expenses.

Translation Adjustment

The Chinese Renminbi ("RMB"), the national currency of the China, is the primary currency of the economic environment in which our operations are conducted. We use the United States dollar ("U.S. dollars") for financial reporting purposes.  Our results of operations and cash flows are translated at the average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates, and equity is translated at the historical exchange rates. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets.

Derivative Instruments

ASC 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging , establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at fair value, and that changes in fair value be recognized currently in earnings (loss) unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have two  stock  option  plans which permit the granting of shares to attract,  retain  and  motivate  employees,  directors  and consultants.  We record compensation expense for share-based awards issued to employees and directors in exchange for services provided. The amount of the compensation expense is based on the estimated fair value of the awards on their grant dates and is recognized over the requisite service periods. Our share-based awards include stock options, warrants and restricted stock awards. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model (“Black-Scholes”) to measure fair value of these share-based awards. The Black-Scholes model requires us to make significant judgments regarding the assumptions used within the model, the most significant of which are the expected stock price volatility, the expected life of the option award, the risk-free rate of return and dividends during the expected term.

There were no options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share.   Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented. Diluted net income (loss) per share for the period is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, increased by potentially dilutive common shares (“dilutive securities”) that were outstanding during the period.  Dilutive securities include options granted pursuant to our stock option plan, stock warrants and convertible debt and convertible preferred stock.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for by the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income (loss) in the period that includes the enactment date.  A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources.  For the Company, comprehensive income (loss) consists of its net income (loss), the change in the currency translation adjustment.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”) which established guidance for accounting for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.  This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable; eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method; and requires a vendor to determine its best estimate selling price in a manner consistent with that used to determine the selling price of the deliverable on a stand-alone basis.  This guidance also expands the required disclosures related to a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.  The guidance is effective beginning July 15, 2010 with early adoption permitted.  The Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or disclosures.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”).  ASU 2010-06 amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”), to require additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements.  The amended guidance requires entities to disclose additional information regarding assets and liabilities that are transferred between levels of the fair value hierarchy.  This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for Level 3 reconciliation disclosures which are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report.

Information contained herein contains forward-looking statements,  You should not place undue reliance on those statements because they are subject to numerous uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.  Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible and assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business strategy.  The statements often include words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate” or other similar expressions.  These statements are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our experience and well as perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances.  Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual financials results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those on the forward-looking statements.  These factors include, but are not limited to, competition from existing and future competitors, failure to maintain and develop business, failure to increase or maintain the number of customers we have, downturns in the economies and/or industries that we serve, and the failure to attract or keep qualified professionals we employ.  These factors and others discussed in detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” You should keep in mind that any forward-looking statements made by us herein, or elsewhere, speaks only as of the date on which we made it.  New risks and uncertainties come up from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us.  We have no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date hereof, except as required by federal securities laws.

Links to all of our filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, information statements and other material information concerning us are available on the Investor Relations page of our website at www.ChinaCrescent.com .
 
Critical accounting policies
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Our management evaluates these estimates on an on-going basis including those related to the collection of accounts receivable, inventory, sales returns, and non-monetary transactions such as stock-based compensation, impairment of intangible assets and derivative liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates. A discussion of critical accounting policies and the related judgments and estimates affecting the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is included in our Annual Report on our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  There have been no material changes to these critical accounting policies as of September 30, 2010.
 
Plan of Operations

In February 2010, Paul K. Danner resigned as our Chief Executive Officer and a Director and Dr. James Jiang was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

In March 2010, we executed a non-binding letter of intent (the “Fonix LOI”) under which CLPTEC, our wholly-owned subsidiary based in Shanghai, China, would acquire 100% of Shanghai Gaozhi Software Systems, Ltd. (“Gaozhi”), a telecommunications software developer, from Fonix Corporation (“Fonix”) in exchange for the issuance of a newly authorized series of preferred stock, the terms and conditions of which are subject to negotiation.  The transaction was subject to the parties successfully entering into a definitive agreement which we originally projected would occur in the third quarter of 2010.
 
 
 
 
 
11

 

 
Simultaneous with the execution of the Fonix LOI, we planned to enter into a one-year management agreement with Fonix under which CLPTEC would assist in the management of Gaozhi until the execution of a definitive agreement between the parties for the acquisition of Gaozhi by CLPTEC.  In August 2010, we determined that the parties would be unable to negotiate a mutually satisfactory definitive agreement regarding the intended transaction, therefore the aforementioned relationships between the parties were subsequently terminated.

In recent years, we have funded our working capital requirements principally through borrowings under bank lines of credit, term loans, and issuances of common stock in exchange for debt.  To the extent our operations are not sufficient to fund our capital requirements, we may enter into additional revolving loan agreements with a financial institution, or attempt to raise additional capital through the sale of additional common or preferred stock or through the issuance of additional debt.  To the extent that we raise additional capital or settle existing liabilities through the sale or issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our stockholders.  Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. The current financing environment in the United States is exceptionally challenging and we can provide no assurances that we could raise capital either for operations or to finance an acquisition.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

Impact of Inflation

We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, including fluctuations in the functional currency of foreign operations.  The functional currency of operations outside the United States is the respective local currency.  Foreign currency translation effects are included in accumulated comprehensive income in shareholder’s equity.   We do not utilize derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency fluctuation risk.

Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (1) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and (2) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. There was no change to our internal controls or in other factors that could affect these controls during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A.   Risk Factors

As of September 30, 2010, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1 to our  annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Set forth below is information regarding the issuance and sale of our securities without registration during the three month period ended September 30, 2010:

We issued 123,837,555 shares of common stock pursuant to two agreements to exchange $402,000 in trade payables for equity.

We received no proceeds from the issuance of these securities.  Each of the above issuances was deemed to be exempt from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.   The issuance of these shares did not involve a public offering or general solicitation and no underwriters were involved.  The recipients of the shares were afforded an opportunity for effective access to relevant information needed to make their investment decision including access to our filings with the SEC.  We reasonably believed that the recipients had such knowledge and experience in our financial and business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investment.
