Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


NOTE 1 -NATURE OF BUSINESS
 
Description of Business
 
China Bilingual Technology & Education Group Inc. (the “Company”), is an education company that owns and operates high-quality K-12 private boarding schools in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The Company established school operations in 1998 and currently operates three schools encompassing kindergarten, elementary, middle and high school levels. The Company’s schools are located in Shanxi and Sichuan Provinces and focus on fluency and cultural skills in both Chinese and English, as well as the PRC core curriculum.  The Company’s sector in education is not subject to corporate income tax.
 
Control by Principal Shareholders
 
The Company’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates or related parties, own beneficially and in the aggregate, the majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company. Accordingly, the directors, executive officers and their affiliates, if they voted their shares uniformly, would have the ability to control the approval of most corporate actions, including increasing the authorized capital stock of the Company and the dissolution, merger or sale of the Company's assets or business.
 
Financial Statements Presented

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
 
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 31, 2009 under the name Designer Export, Inc.  On June 30, 2010, the Company changed its name to China Bilingual Technology & Education Group Inc.

On June 30, 2010, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kahibah Limited (“KL”), a British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) corporation and its shareholders. According to this Agreement, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of KL. The Company issued 26,100,076 shares of its common stock, after giving effect to the cancellation of 7,748,343 shares on June 30, 2010, to KL’s shareholders in exchange for 100% of the shares of KL. After the closing of the transaction, the Company had a total of 30,000,005 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, with KL’s shareholders owning 87% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, and the balance held by those who held shares of the Company’s common stock prior to the closing of the exchange. This transaction resulted in KL’s shareholders obtaining a majority voting interest in the Company. All shares are shown effective of a 2.582781 forward stock split as of July 14, 2010.

The acquisition of KL and the operations of its subsidiaries were accounted for as a reverse merger, whereby KL is the continuing entity for financial reporting purposes and is deemed, for accounting purposes, to be the acquirer of the Company.  In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for accounting for the business combination as a reverse merger, KL is deemed to have undergone a recapitalization, whereby KL is deemed to have issued common stock to the Company’s common equity holders.  Accordingly, although the Company, as KL’s parent company, was deemed to have legally acquired KL, in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for accounting for the transaction as a reverse merger and re-capitalization, KL is the surviving entity for accounting purposes and its assets and liabilities are recorded at their historical carrying amounts with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded as a result of the accounting merger with the Company.

As part of the acquisition, the Company changed its name to China Bilingual Technology & Education Group Inc.  Share and per share amounts stated have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the acquisition. The accompanying financial statements present the historical financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of KL and its operating subsidiaries prior to the recapitalization.

The historical consolidated financial statements of the Company are those of KL, and of the consolidated entities.  The consolidated financial statements of the Company presented for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011 included the financial statements of China Bilingual, KL, KL’s subsidiary Taiyuan Taiji Industry Development co., Ltd. (“Taiyuan Taiji”), a wholly-foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”) under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”), which owns 95% of the registered capital of Shanxi Taiji Industry Development Co., Ltd. (“Shanxi Taiji”), an equity joint venture company organized under the laws of the PRC. Shanxi Taiji owns all of the registered capital of Shanxi Modern Bilingual School (“Shanxi North Campus”) and Sichuan Guang’an Experimental High School (“Sichuan Guang’an School”), both private non-enterprise entities incorporated under the laws of the PRC, collectively the “Subsidiaries.”
 
 
 
Since the ownership of KL and its Subsidiaries was substantially the same, the merger with each was accounted for as a transfer of equity interests between entities under common control, whereby the acquirer recognized the assets and liabilities of each Subsidiary transferred at their carrying amounts.  The reorganization was treated similar to the pooling of interest method with carry over basis.  Accordingly, the financial statements for KL and its Subsidiaries have been combined for all periods presented, similar to a pooling of interest.  The reorganization of entities under common control was retrospectively applied to the financial statements of all prior periods when the financial statements are issued for a period that includes the date the transaction occurred.  Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidations.

On August 31, 2011, the Company’s entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement and purchased all of the outstanding equity of Shanxi Rising Education Investment Company Limited (the “Investment Company”) from the equity holders (the “Sellers”) for a total purchase consideration of RMB 690,000,000 (approximately $108,226,806).  The net present value of the total fair value consideration transferred equals RMB 650,000,000 (approximately $102,565,721), of which RMB 370,217,933 (approximately $55,444,697) has been paid. Under the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement the balance of the purchase price is to be paid over three years in three scheduled payments as follows: (See Note 18 – Business Combination for additional details on the Equity Transfer Agreement.)
 
 
1)  
RMB 119,782,067 (approximately $19,017,481) to be paid by August 31, 2012, but was paid on September 3rd, 2012
 
 
 
2)  
RMB 100,000,000 (or RMB 95,286,928, approximately $15,182,022, net of discount) by August 31, 2013, and
 
 
 
3)  
RMB 100,000,000 (or RMB 89,103,000, approximately $14,196,740, net of discount) by August 31, 2014.

The net present value of the payments is discounted at the Company’s then current financing interest rate of 6.84%.
 
The Investment Company, a limited liability company established under the laws of the PRC, is an education company that owns and operates a K-12 private boarding school in Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province of the PRC, encompassing kindergarten, primary and secondary education. The Investment Company was established in 2001 and it has share capital of RMB 70,000,000. It is the parent company of Shanxi Rising School (the "Rising School"), founded in 2002, which currently serves over 5,400 students from its location in Shanxi Province, PRC. The Rising School is now known by the Company as the “Shanxi South School.”

The acquisition of the Investment Company has been accounted for as a business combination under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”).  The total purchase consideration of RMB 690,000,000 has been allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of August 31, 2011. 
 
Prior to closing the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Company became involved in the operations of the Shanxi South Campus in the spring of 2011. With the consent of the Investment Company, the Company assisted in the operations, accounting and promotion of the school to attract more and better students for the 2011-2012 school year. Some of these responsibilities included collecting deferred school fees, room & board and other school fees (“School Fees”) in advance of the school year, which combined with better operations, higher tuition rates and an increase in enrollment led to an increase in deferred revenue at the start of the 2011 – 2012 school year, which corresponds to the fiscal year from September 1, 2011 to August 31, 2012. The Company’s involvement at the Shanxi South Campus was under the direction of Investment Company management until it assumed control of the Investment Company on August 31, 2011, in accordance with the Equity Transfer Agreement.
 
For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statement, the total purchase price is allocated to the Company’s net tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of August 31, 2011.  The adjustments record the purchase price allocation entries as of August 31, 2011, including allocation of fair values of the associated tangible assets, intangible assets and acquired liabilities, to eliminate the Company's historical equity balances and to record the estimated use of cash to fund the cash portion of the acquisition.  The adjustments also include certain decreases in intercompany balances eliminated in consolidation.  Accordingly, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be materially impacted by the results of the Company’s on-going operations after the date of the Equity Transfer Agreement.

The 5% ownership is held by Ms. Ren Baiv on behalf of the Taiyuan Taiji in accordance with local Chinese regulations, therefore no non-controlling interest is recognized.  Shanxi Taiji is an equity joint venture under the laws of the PRC. The Shanxi North Campus, Modern Bilingual School and Sichuan Guang’an Experimental High School (the “Schools”) hold the requisite governmental licenses to provide private educational services within their province in China.  Each province sets its own licensing criteria and duration following the general guidelines established by the national government for education standards.

(v) Shanxi Rising School (the “Shanxi South School”) was established in 2002 by the Investment Company as a private boarding school encompassing kindergarten, primary and secondary education located in the Shanxi Province of the PRC.  The school has been assimilated in the operation of the Company and re-branded as the Shanxi South School operating as a private K-12 boarding school on an 82 acre campus comprised of over 2.3 million square feet of facilities, including 18 dormitories with capacity for 10,000 students, academic classrooms, gymnasium, theatre, natatorium, cafeteria and other administrative and academic buildings. The Shanxi South School holds a four year provincial license to be renewed April 2015.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Measurement, estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, the selection of the useful lives of property and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, fair values and revenue recognition. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however, actual results, when ultimately realized, could differ from those estimates. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.
 
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.  These accounting policies conform to US GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. 
 
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) established the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of ASB ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB ASC as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
(a)  
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company applies the provisions of accounting guidance, FASB ASC Topic 820 that requires all entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, and defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.  As of November 30, 2012, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, accounts payable, short term bank loans, and other payables approximated carrying value due to the short maturity of the instruments, quoted market prices or interest rates which fluctuate with market rates except for related party debt or receivables for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
Effective April 1, 2009, the FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in quarterly reports as well as in annual reports. 
 
The FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements.
 
Various inputs are considered when determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – observable market inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risks, etc.).

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair market value of financial instruments).

The Company’s adoption of FASB ASC Topic 820 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. The Company had no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. The Company had no financial assets and/or liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis at November 30, 2012.
 
 

 
The availability of inputs observable in the market varies from instrument to instrument and depends on a variety of factors including the type of instrument, whether the instrument is actively traded, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. For many financial instruments, pricing inputs are readily observable in the market, the valuation methodology used is widely accepted by market participants, and the valuation does not require significant management discretion. For other financial instruments, pricing inputs are less observable in the market and may require management judgment.

 (b)  Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There are no restrictions to cash at November 30, 2012. A substantial amount of the Company’s cash is held in bank accounts in the PRC and is not protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance or any other similar insurance. Given the current economic environment and the financial conditions of the banking industry there is a risk that deposits may not be readily available. Cash held in the PRC amounted to $9,032,544 and $30,410,983 at November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012, respectively.  The PRC places limitations on expatriating cash out of the country, which may limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends.
 
(c)  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company’s long-lived assets and other assets (consisting of property and equipment and purchased land use rights) are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the guidance of the FASB ASC Topic 360-10, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” and FASB ASC Topic 205, “Presentation of Financial Statements.”  The Company tests for impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.  Impairment evaluations involve management’s estimates on asset useful lives and future cash flows.  Actual useful lives and cash flows could be different from those estimated by management which could have a material effect on our reporting results and financial positions.  Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. Through November 30, 2012, the Company had not experienced impairment losses on its long-lived assets.  However, there can be no assurances that demand for the Company’s services will continue, which could result in an impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
 
(d)  Income taxes

On March 16, 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress passed the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (“New EIT Law”) which became effective on January 1, 2008.  Pursuant to the New EIT Law, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standards will be applied consistently to both domestic-invested enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises.

Shanxi Taiji, Taiyuan Taiji and the Investment Company are taxed pursuant to the New EIT Law with a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25%. Shanxi Taiji, Taiyuan Taiji and the Investment Company did not pay any income taxes during the three months ended November 30, 2012 due to net losses experienced in the past reporting periods. The three entities may apply the past periods’ net operating losses to futures years’ profits in order to reduce tax liability. Since Shanxi Taiji, Taiyuan Taiji and Investment Company have minimal business operations, the three entities are unlikely to have profits in future periods. As a result, all deferred tax assets and liabilities are deminimus, and management would have a 100% valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets.
 
The Company has three subsidiaries registered as private schools (the “school-subsidiaries”), which are not subject to income taxes determined in accordance with the Law for Promoting Private Education (2003) and school-subsidiaries registered as private schools not requiring reasonable returns (similar to a not-for-profit entity) are treated as public schools and are generally not subject to enterprise income taxes. Therefore, the school-subsidiaries are tax exempt, including Shanxi North Campus, Shanxi South Campus and Sichuan Guangan School.

Kahibah Limited is exempt from income tax on all sources of income pursuant to the tax law in the British Virgin Islands. However, pursuant and subsequent to the reverse merger, the parent company in the U.S. may be subject to income tax in future years.

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 basis.  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 taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.  The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current or non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  A provision has not been made at November 30, 2012, and 2011 for U.S. or additional foreign withholding taxes of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries because it is the present intention of management to reinvest the undistributed earnings indefinitely in foreign operations.  Generally, such earnings become subject to U.S. tax upon the remittance of dividends and under certain other circumstances.  It is not practicable to estimate the amount of deferred tax liability on such undistributed earnings.
 
 

 
The Company recognizes that virtually all tax positions in the PRC are not free of some degree of uncertainty due to tax law and policy changes by the government.  However, the Company cannot reasonably quantify political risk factors and thus must depend on guidance issued by current government officials.

Based on all known facts and circumstances and current tax law, the Company believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012 are not material to its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.  The Company also believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012, if recognized, would not have a material effect on its effective tax rate. The Company further believes that there are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible, based on the current PRC tax law and policy, that the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease over the next twelve months producing, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows as of November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012, but the 2012 and 2013 tax years are still open for examination.
 
(e)  Revenue Recognition and Deferred School Fees

Revenues consist primarily of tuition, room & board and other fees (the "School Fees") derived from providing meals and housing for students living on campus. Revenues from School Fees are recognized pro-rata (on a straight-line basis) over the relevant period attended by the student of the applicable grade or program. The school year typically runs September 1 through August 31 and deferred School Fees are recognized over the twelve-month period. If a student withdraws from a course or program within three months after the school year starts, the paid but unearned portion of the student’s School Fees is 67% refunded. If a student withdraws after the first three months in a school year, no School Fees will be refunded. As a result, the Company has recorded deferred School Fees as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheet in the event a student withdraws from school and the Company has to return a portion of the deferred School Fees. In past years there were minimal students who withdrew from a course or program before the end of a school year.

The Company normally deferred school fees from students at their initial admission or before the start of the school year on September 1. As of August 31, 2012, all students are required to fully prepay school fees at the beginning of the school year by September 1, 2012 for the 2012-2013 school year. In prior periods this policy was not fully enforced. Some students will benefit from a discount of fees if they prepay School Fees for two to three years of school term. Deferred School Fees is the portion of payments received but not earned and is reflected as a current liability under deferred school fee  in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as such amounts are expected to be earned, but may be refundable within the next year.
 
Below is a schedule of deferred school fees as of November 30, 2012 expected to be recognized into revenue over twelve months for the next year ended August 31 (corresponds to the school year – September 1 through August 31) and thereafter as follows:

(f)  Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s principal country of operations is The PRC. The financial position and results of operations of the Company are determined using the local currency (“Renminbi or RMB”) as the functional currency.  The results of operations denominated in foreign currency are translated at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period.

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date.  The results of operations are translated from Renminbi to US Dollar at the weighted average rate of exchange during the reporting period.  The registered equity capital denominated in the functional currency is translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of capital contribution.   All translation adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements into the reporting currency (“US Dollars”) are dealt with as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.  
 
 

 
Translation adjustments net of tax totaled $526,014 and $19,609, for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

As of November 30, 2012 and 2011, the exchange rate to the U.S. Dollar was RMB 6.2763 and RMB 6.3726, respectively. The average exchange rate for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011 was RMB 6.3063 and RMB 6.3742, respectively.

 (g)  Comprehensive Income

The Company reports comprehensive income in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income,” which established standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.

Total comprehensive income is defined as all changes in stockholders' equity during a period, other than those resulting from investments by and distributions to stockholders (i.e., issuance of equity securities and dividends). Generally, for the Company, total comprehensive income equals net income plus or minus adjustments for currency translation.  Total comprehensive income represents the activity for a period net of related tax and was $3,146,850 and $1,355,976, for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

While total comprehensive income is the activity in a period and is largely driven by net earnings in that period, accumulated other comprehensive income or loss (“AOCI”) represents the cumulative balance of other comprehensive income as of the balance sheet date.  For the Company, AOCI is primarily the cumulative balance related to the currency adjustments and increased comprehensive income and equaled $3,216,780 and $2,690,766, as of November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012, respectively.

(h)  Concentrations, Risks, and Uncertainties

All of the Company’s operations are located in the PRC.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully continue to provide the services offered and failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  Also, the success of the Company’s operations is subject to numerous contingencies, some of which are beyond management’s control.  These contingencies include general economic conditions, teacher salaries, competition, governmental and political conditions, and changes in regulations.  Because the Company is dependent on trade in the PRC, the Company is subject to various additional political, economic and other uncertainties.  Among other risks, the Company’s operations will be subject to risk of restrictions on transfer of funds, domestic and international customs, changing taxation policies, foreign exchange restrictions, and political and governmental regulations.

(i)  Advertising

The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred or, as appropriate, the first time the advertising takes place.  Advertising costs for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011 were not significant.

(j)  Research and Development

The Company expenses the cost of research and development as incurred.  Research and development costs for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, were not significant.

(k)  Basic and diluted earnings per share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.”  Basic earnings per share is calculated dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares, stock options, warrants and other equity awards were converted or exercised during the period. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, warrants and options are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.  In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.09 and $0.09 per share and $0.04 and $0.04 per share, respectively for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011.
 

 
(l)  Statement of Cash Flows

In accordance with ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation 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.

(m)  Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements as of November 30, 2012 and for the three months ended November 30, 2012 in order to conform to the condensed consolidated financial statement presentation as of November 30, 2012. These reclassifications had no effect on net income as previously reported.
 
(n)  Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2010-09 (ASC Topic 855), which amends subsequent events recognition and disclosures, ASU No. 2009-16 (ASC Topic 860), which amends accounting for transfer of financial assets, ASU No. 2009-05 (ASC Topic 820), which amends fair value measurements and disclosures - overall, ASU No. 2009-08, earnings per share, ASU No. 2009-12(ASC Topic 820), investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share, and various other ASU’s No. 2009-2 through ASU No. 2012-07 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued.  These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant, except for ASU 2011-05 (ACS Topic 220 comprehensive income) which will affect the presentation of Comprehensive Income and is effective for periods after December 15, 2011 and early adoption is allowed.

Other accounting standards have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Property and equipment are located at the Company’s three school locations in Shanxi and Sichuan Provinces in the PRC and are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the expected useful life of the asset, after the asset is placed in service. Major repairs and betterments that significantly extend original useful lives or improve productivity are capitalized and depreciated over the period benefited.  Maintenance and repairs are generally expensed as incurred.  When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations.
 
The estimated useful lives for each major category of fixed assets are as follows: 

Description
 
Useful Lives
Buildings
 
40 years
Transportation Equipment
 
10 years
Kitchen Equipment
 
 5 years
Furniture, Education Equipment, Computers

NOTE 8 - OTHER PAYABLE

Other payables included traveling and the related expenses incurred by employees on behalf of the Company. These amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and generally are short term in nature.

NOTE 9 – HOME PURCHASE DOWN PAYMENT

According to the Company’s Employee Welfare Policy, the Company may sign a home purchase agreement with teachers which would allow teachers to purchase home property at a discounted market rate. Pursuant to the home purchase agreement between the Company and teachers, teachers were given the right to purchase a home property upon their 8th year of service. There were two payment options:

(1) one-time full payment of the home purchase price based on the signed agreement; or (2) RMB 20,000 down payment with remaining balance to be paid in 8 equal annual installments until their 8th year of service. Those teachers who selected option (2) would be charged an interest of 7% if they do not make payment on time during the 8 year period. If teachers resign or leave the school for any reasons, they will be entitled to a refund based on the terms of the home purchase agreement. There were minimal refunds for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011. For accounting purposes, cash received from teachers through payment options (1) and (2) and late interest payments are recorded as deposits at the time of receipt. The Company recognizes profit when the sale is consummated.

The Company records the home purchase transactions in accordance to the deposit method pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 360-20, “Real Estate Sales”. Under the deposit method, the seller does not recognize any profit, does not record notes receivable, and continues to report in its financial statements the property which has been assumed by the buyer. Cash received from the buyer, including the initial investment and subsequent collections of principal and interest, is reported as a deposit. Interest collected that is subject to refund and is included in the deposit account before a sale is consummated is accounted for as part of buyer’s initial investment at the time the sale is consummated. There were no apartments sold for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, and as such the Company recognized no income from selling apartments. As of November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012, home deposits were $917,809 and $919,458, respectively.

NOTE 15 – TAXES

Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”)

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (formerly “FIN 48”, an interpretation of FASB statement No. 109), Accounting for Income Taxes. The interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.

Under ASC 740-10, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740-10 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
 
 
The Company’s estimated income tax savings for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011 are summarized as follows:

The Company’s operating subsidiaries are tax exempt, since primary and secondary education is not subject to income tax in the PRC.  As such, the Company and its subsidiaries have no deferred tax asset or liability.  The Company does not anticipate any change in the current PRC regulations regarding the tax exemption for its education sector.
 
 
 
NOTE 16 – EARNING PER SHARE

FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share (EPS) computations. 

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive securities for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011.

NOTE 17 – EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT BENEFITS AND POST RETIREMENT BENEFITS

  NOTE 19 – Restatement of November 30, 2011

The Company has restated its unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the balance sheet ended November 30, 2011 and the statement of operations and comprehensive income and cash flow for the three months ended November 30, 2011. The Company used 14% instead of 6.84% for the fair value discount rate, which resulted in improperly recording fixed assets, land use rights, short-term payable acquisition, long-term payable acquisition, interest expense, net income, comprehensive income and earnings per share. The consolidation of the balance sheet resulted in an increase to fixed assets of $2,162,226 and to land use rights of $3,167,081, and an increase to short-term payable acquisition of $1,383,107 and an increase to long-term payable acquisition of $3,946,200. The consolidation of the statement of operations and comprehensive income resulted in a decrease in interest expense for the three months ended November 30, 2011 of $683,929 and corresponding increase in net income and comprehensive income of $683,929.

The following is a summary presentation of corrections made to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 2011 and the statement of operations and comprehensive income and cash flow for the three months ended November 30, 2011 previously filed on Form 10-Q on January 17, 2012.

Highlights and Executive Summary
 
China Bilingual Technology & Education Group Inc.  (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is an education company that owns and operates high-quality K-12 private boarding schools in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The Company established school operations in 1998 and currently operates three schools encompassing kindergarten, elementary, middle and high school levels with approximately 14,583 students and 2,150 faculty and staff. The Company’s schools are located in Shanxi and Sichuan Provinces and provide students with an innovative and high-quality education with a focus on fluency and cultural skills in both Chinese and English, as well as a strong core curriculum.  The schools regularly rank among the top schools in their respective regions for college entrance exam scores and national college entrance rates. The Company’s schools have earned excellent teaching reputations and are recognized for the success of their students and strong faculty. As the PRC experiences rapid industrialization and economic growth, the government is focused on education as a means to increase worker productivity and raise the standard of living. Parents in the PRC’s new middle and upper classes are sending their children to receive private school education to give them an advantage in the PRC’s increasingly competitive workforce. The Company’s sector in education is not subject to corporate income tax, and the Company anticipates its growth will come from both organic growth through increased enrollment and expansion of its business model and teaching methods into new schools, which may be acquired by the Company.
 
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 31, 2009 under the name Designer Export, Inc.  On June 30, 2010, the Company changed its name to China Bilingual Technology & Education Group Inc.

 
 
 Results of Operations
 
For the Three Months Ended November 30, 2012 Compared to the Three Months Ended November 30, 2011
 
Revenues

For the three months ended November 30, 2012, we had total revenues of $11,643,327, an increase of $1,217,341 or 11.7% as compared to total revenues of $10,425,986 for the three months ended November 30, 2011. The revenue growth was primarily attributable to the increase in enrollment of 1,363 students, or 10.3% to approximately 14,583 students for the current 2012-2013 school year from approximately 13,220 students during the 2011-2012 school year.

For the 2012-2013 school year we have fully implemented our campus transition for the Shanxi North School campus to become the Taiyuan-area campus for kindergarten, primary and lower middle school classes. Our Shanxi South School campus has now become the Taiyuan-area campus for upper middle school and high school.  We believe this transition makes the schools operate more efficiently and competitively as we fully integrate the two schools.

The school year typically runs from September 1 through August 31 and corresponds to the fiscal year end on August 31.  The Company recognizes prepaid school fees (including tuition, room & board and other school fees, herein after "School Fees") evenly over the twelve month period. Unrecognized school fees are a liability recorded as deferred school fees until earned.

Cost of Revenue
 
For the three months ended November 30, 2012, our cost of revenue was $7,749,835 (66.6% of revenues), an increase of $516,805 or 7.1% as compared to cost of revenue of $7,233,030 (69.4% of revenues) for the three months ended November 30, 2011. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily the result of the increased enrollment of 1,363 students. Teacher and staff salaries increased $547,744 or 18.2% to $3,554,255 for the three months ended November 30, 2012 compared to $3,006,511 for the three months ended November 30, 2011.  Teacher and staff positions increased 274, or 14.6% to approximately 2,150 teachers and staff for the current 2012-2013 school year from approximately 1,876 teachers and staff during the 2011-2012 school year to support the increased enrollment.


The Shanxi South School campus acquired on August 31, 2011 was previously underutilized and our overall capacity utilization rate decreased from over 90% for our two schools during the year ended August 31, 2011 to approximately 66% for the three schools during the year ended August 31, 2012. For the three months ended November 30, 2012 the capacity utilization increased to 72.9% due to the increased enrollment.  The Company continues to work toward increasing the capacity utilization rate of all three schools, which lowers the fixed costs per student based on higher enrollment.  The increased costs for the three months ended November 30, 2012 was from the increase in teacher and staff salaries to support the increase in enrollment, as well as $895,379 in depreciation and amortization expense allocated to cost of revenue primarily associated with the approximately $108.2 million acquisition of the Shanxi South School.

We continue to maintain our strict enrollment standards to preserve our strong academic reputation.   We seek quality applicants to maximize our enrollment, which lowers our cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues as our overhead costs are primarily fixed.  We intend to maintain our current balance between enrollment and admission standards in accepting new students as we build back up to our historical capacity utilization rate.  
   
General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased $23,894 or 4.7% to $480,628 for the three months ended November 30, 2012 from $504,522 for the same period of 2011.  The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease in administrative expenses as compared to the three months ended November 30, 2011 when we incurred additional audits costs to account for our change in fiscal year end to August 31.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $558,352 or 40.4% to $822,331 for the three months ended November 30, 2012 from $1,380,683 for the same period of 2011.  The bank financing costs of the Company decreased $218,170 based on a lower negotiated interest rate.  The Company also recorded lower accretion of the implied interest in the long-term and short-term portion of the payable-acquisition resulting from the fair value discount recorded as interest expense based on payments to the seller of the Shanxi South School.  The net present value of the payments is discounted at the Company’s current financing interest rate of 6.84%.

 
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”)

EBITDA increased $745,096 or 19.4% to $4,579,468 for the three months ended November 30, 2012 from $3,834,372 for the same period of 2011.  The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in revenues as a result of the increased enrollment of 1,363 students for the three months ended November 30, 2012.

Net Income

As a result of the factors described above, we had net income attributable to shareholders in the amount of $2,620,836 for the three months ended November 30, 2012, as compared to $1,336,367 for the three months ended November 30, 2011. The increase of $1,284,469 or 96.1% between the periods resulted primarily from the increased enrollment of students and the decrease in interest expense.

Earnings per share increased to $0.09 per share for the three months ended November 30, 2012 from $0.04 per share for the three months ended November 30, 2011 due to the increase of net income.
 
Comprehensive Income

The functional currency of the Company is Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), but we report our results in U.S. Dollars. The conversion of our accounts from RMB to U.S. Dollars results in translation adjustments. As a result, we achieved a currency translation adjustment gain of $526,014 during the three months ended November 30, 2012, as compared to a gain of $19,609 during the three months ended November 30, 2011. Our comprehensive income was $3,146,850 for the three months ended November 30, 2012, as compared to $1,355,976 for the three months ended November 30, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of November 30, 2012, our cash and cash equivalents were $9,032,544.  Our principal source of cash is prepaid School Fees from students who attend our schools. The Company collects tuition in advance of the school year and therefore has no accounts receivable.  We also use our other current assets balance of $1,924,991 to finance school related activities as advances or prepayment for the purchase of school and boarding related materials for the day-to-day operations of the schools.  Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing resources, including cash flow generated from operations as well as available bank loans, will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirement for our current operations and any prepaid tuition obligations. Our bank loans have terms of one to three years, and the Company believes they may be renewed as needed based on the credit worthiness of the Company.  The Company also has $821,504 on November 30, 2012 in related party receivable from its Chairman, which is non-interest bearing and is expected to be re-paid by the end of January 2013.  The Company’s installment payment of $19,017,481 for the acquisition of the Shanxi South Campus (Short-term payable acquisition) was due on August 31, 2012, but was paid from our cash balance on September 3, 2012.  The Company has collected substantially all of its prepaid tuition for the 2012 – 2013 school year and recorded it as a liability under deferred school fees of $45,902,425.  Based on our profit margin and available debt sources, we believe we have sufficient cash to operate our business.  We are also considering alternatives for longer-term outside financing of debt or equity based on the asset strength of our balance sheet.  In order to fully implement our business plan and continue our growth, however, we will require additional capital either from our shareholders or from outside sources, although there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional capital at suitable terms if and when it is needed.
 
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
 
Cash used in operating activities increased $2,192,296 or 94.9% to $4,502,254 for the three months ended November 30, 2012 compared to $2,309,958 used in operating activities for the three months ended November 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to the decrease in prepayment and other current assets, higher refundable deposits and the lower accretion of the interest payable because of lower interest rates.
 
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
 
Cash used in investing activities increased $985,905 or 232.7% to $1,409,517 for the three months ended November 30, 2012 as compared to $423,612 used in the three months ended November 30, 2011. The increase in cash used by investing activities resulted primarily from a related party receivable.




Cash Flow from Financing Activities
 
Cash used in financing activities increased $12,331,671 or 370.6% to $15,659,594 for the three months ended November 30, 2012 as compared to $3,327,923 used in the three months ended November 30, 2011. The increase in cash used in financing activities resulted from the repayment of loans associated with the acquisition of the Shanxi South School.

Plan of Operations

As described herein, the Company completed the Equity Transfer Agreement dated August 31, 2011 for the acquisition of the Shanxi South School, formerly known as the Shanxi Rising School.  We expect to continue to expand our enrollment base utilizing the excess capacity at our existing schools in addition to marketing and expanding enrollment at the Shanxi South School.  Our strategy is to leverage our strong academic reputation to develop additional business.  We are also actively seeking opportunities to expand our business that we consider accretive to earnings.  We intend to grow our business model through the acquisition of existing schools to increase our total enrollment.  In order to fully implement our business plan and continue our growth, however, we will require additional capital either from our shareholders or from outside sources, although there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional capital at suitable terms if and when it is needed.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships that are currently material or reasonably likely to be material to our financial position or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In connection with the preparation of consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and the related disclosures. The assumptions, estimates and judgments included within these estimates are based on historical experience, current trends and other factors the Company believes to be relevant at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared. On a regular basis, the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments are reviewed to ensure that the consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from the assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but are not limited to: (1) asset impairments (2) revenue recognition. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty, and accordingly, accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes. The Company evaluates and updates these assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist with these evaluations. Actual results could differ from the estimates that have been used.

Significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company believes the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating the Company’s reported financial results, as they require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments, and to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
 
 

 
Impairment analysis for long-lived assets and intangible assets

The Company’s long-lived assets and other assets (consisting of property and equipment and purchased intangible assets) are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the guidance of the FASB Topic ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment”, and FASB ASC Topic 205 “Presentation of Financial Statements”.  The Company tests for impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.  Impairment evaluations involve management’s estimates on asset useful lives and future cash flows.  Actual useful lives and cash flows could be different from those estimated by management which could have a material effect on our reporting results and financial positions.  Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. Through November 30, 2012, the Company had not experienced impairment losses on its long-lived assets. 
  
Revenue Recognition

In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 13, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenues when it is realized or realizable and earned.  The Company records revenues when the following four fundamental criteria under SAB 104 are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.  Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as prepaid tuition.
 
Revenues consist primarily of tuition and fees derived from providing meals and housing for students living on campus. Revenues from tuition and fees are recognized pro-rata (on a straight-line basis) over the relevant period attended by the student of the applicable grade or program. The school year runs September 1 through August 31 and prepaid tuition is recognized over the twelve-month period. If a student withdraws from a course or program within three months after the school year starts, the paid but unearned portion of the student’s tuition is 67% refunded. If a student withdraws after the first three months in a school year, no tuition will be refunded. As a result, the Company has recorded prepaid tuition as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheet in the event a student withdraws from school and the Company has to return a portion of the prepaid tuition. In past years there were minimal students who withdrew from a course or program before the end of a school year.

The Company normally receives prepaid tuition and fees from students at their initial admission or before the start of the school year on September 1. Some students will benefit from a discount of fees if they prepay tuition for two to three years of school term. Prepaid tuition is the portion of payments received but not earned and is reflected as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as such amounts are expected to be earned, but may be refundable within the next year.

Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the Board of Directors and the Board has reviewed the disclosures presented above relating to them.

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

As of November 30, 2012, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Ren Zhiqing, and Chief Financial Officer, Michael Toups, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.

During the three months ended November 30, 2012, the Company and Ren Zhiqing, our chairman and president, inadvertently violated Section 402 of Sarbanes-Oxley and Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.  Ren Zhiqing borrowed $821,504 from the Company during the three month period ended November 30, 2012.  The amount due from Ren Zhiqing as of November 30, 2012 represent a loan from the Company, which is unsecured, interest-free and payable to the Company.

Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act provides that it is unlawful for a company such as ours, which has a class of securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, to directly or indirectly, including through any subsidiary, extend or maintain credit in the form of a personal loan to or for any director or executive officer of the company. Issuers violating Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act may be subject to civil sanctions, including injunctive remedies and monetary penalties, as well as criminal sanctions. The imposition of any of such sanctions on the Company may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Ren Zhiqing has made arrangements with the Company to repay the full loan amount by the end of January 2013.  In addition, in response to the matter set forth above, our board of directors will adopt a policy regarding approval of related party transactions. Under the policy, any related party transaction involving an aggregate amount that is expected to exceed $50,000 must be approved by the audit committee of our board of directors, and no director may participate in any discussion or approval of a transaction that would be considered to be a related party transaction in which such person is interested.
 
 
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

During the three months ended November 30, 2012, we have taken additional measures to strengthen our financial controls, which have included training for our accounting staff and allocating financial and human resources to strengthen our internal control structure.  We also plan to contract with an outside consulting firm to assist the Company in our Sarbanes Oxley (“SOX”) compliance and internal controls.  The Company has internally begun the processes toward SOX compliance, including mapping, testing, analysis and assessment.  The Company has hired a person to work directly with external consultants regarding internal controls.  This person’s experience included eight years of audit and business advisory work with a “Big 4” accounting firm, as well as an affiliate of an international accounting and consulting firm.  With the addition of the Shanxi South School, the Company will also be hiring additional accounting and administrative support personnel to work with our accounting staff on our month-end, quarter-end and year-end closings and procedures.  We are in the process of bringing all three schools onto the same accounting platform and procedures.
 
The Company's efforts are designed to address our internal controls for financial reporting and to strengthen our overall control environment. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that disclosure controls or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors, even as the aforementioned remediation measures are implemented and further improved to address all deficiencies.  The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
 
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
 

We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding, nor is our property the subject of a pending legal proceeding, that is not in the ordinary course of business or otherwise material to the financial condition of our business. None of our directors, officers or affiliates is involved in a proceeding adverse to our business or has a material interest adverse to our business.
