NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Organization

Jade Art Group, Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 30, 2005, , under the name of Vella Productions, Inc. ("Vella") and entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement"). On October 1, 2007, with its wholly-owned subsidiary, VELLA Merger Sub, Inc., and each of Guoxi Holding Limited ("GHL"), Hua-Cai Song, Fu-Lan Chen, Mei-Ling Chen, Chen-Qing Luo, Mei-Qing Zhang, Song-Mao Cai, Shenzhen Hua Yin Guaranty & Investment Company Limited, Top Good International Limited, Total Giant Group Limited, Total Shine Group Limited, Sure Believe Enterprises Limited, Think Big Trading Limited, Huge Step Enterprises Limited and Billion Hero Investments Limited.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, GHL merged with VELLA Merger Sub, Inc, with GHL as the surviving entity. GHL has an operating subsidiary, Jiangxi XiDa (formerly known as Jiangxi Xi Cheong Lacquer, Inc.) (the "Merger Transaction"). Jiangxi XiDa was incorporated under the laws of the People's Republic of China on December 4, 2006. JiangXi XiDa is located in Yujiang, Jiangxi Province. Jiangxi XiDa then was engaged in the production of traditional art products, including religious woodcut lacquer, woodcut decorated furniture and woodcut decorations used in buildings and for display. As a result of the Merger Transaction, GHL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which, in turn, made the Company the indirect owner of Jiangxi XiDa. Under the Merger Agreement, in exchange of surrendering their shares in GHL, the GHL shareholders received an aggregate of (i) 206,700,000 (68,900,000 before forward split) newly-issued shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock") and (ii) $14,334,500, in the form of promissory notes (representing payment for dividends). Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the share exchange is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. Thus, the share exchange is equivalent to the issuance of stock by GHL for the net monetary assets of Vella Productions, Inc. Based on the consent of the Jade Art Group's Board and all the GHL shareholders, the promissory notes are due to be paid on or before March 31, 2009. Druing the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company paid an additional $1,361,777 in dividend payments. The remaining $903,074 is due and payable on or before March 31, 2010, and has been amended to include a 4% interest rate.

Consideration, including participation in the promissory notes, was distributed pro ratably among the GHL shareholders in accordance with their respective ownership interests in GHL immediately before the completion of the Merger Transaction.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a recapitalization and, accordingly, these consolidated financial statements represent historical operations of Jiangxi XiDa and the capital structure of the former Vella Productions, Inc.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)

On November 8, 2007, the Company amended and restated its Articles of Incorporation to reflect Jade Art Group, Inc. as its new corporate name. On January 11, 2008, the Company formed a new wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary, JiangXi SheTai Jade Industrial Company Limited ("STJ"), to engage in the processing and sale of jadeite and jade.

On January 17, 2008, the Company entered into an Exclusive Distribution Rights Agreement (the "Agreement") with Wulateqianqi XiKai Mining Co., Ltd. ("XiKai Mining"). Under the Agreement, XiKai Mining commited to sell to the Company 90% of the raw jade material produced from its SheTai Jade mine, located in Wulateqianqi, China, for a period of 50 years (the "Exclusive Rights"). In exchange for these Exclusive Rights, the Company agreed to pay RMB 60 million (approximately $8.8 million) by March 31, 2009 to XiKai Mining and, to transfer to XiKai Mining 100% of our ownership interest in all of the Company's woodcarving operations, which were contained in Jiangxi XiDa. This transfer of Jiangxi XiDa was made on February 20, 2008.

The Agreement further provides that, if the Company requests, production from XiKai Mining will be no less than 40,000 metric tons per year (the "Minimum Commitment"), with an initial average cost per ton to be paid by the Company not to exceed RMB 2,000 (approximately $285). The cost per ton paid by the Company shall be subject to renegotiation every five years during the term of the Agreement, with adjustments not to exceed 10% of the cost for the immediately preceding five year period. Failure by XiKai Mining to supply raw jade material ordered by the Company within the Minimum Commitment level during any of the initial five years of the Agreement entitles the Company to payment from XiKai Mining of RMB 18,000 (approximately $2,500) for each such ton ordered by but not supplied to the Company during any such fiscal year.

Production of raw jade by XiKai Mining is limited to 40,000 metric tons per year under applicable Chinese regulations.

The Company's approved scope of business operations includes the production and sale of jade and related products. For the period ended March 31, 2009, the principal activity of the Company was the distribution of raw jade.

Accounting Method

The consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company changed its fiscal year-end from July 31 to December 31 in fiscal year 2007.

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company's functional currency is the Chinese Yuan Renminbi ("RMB"), and reporting currency is the United States Dollar. The financial statements of the Company are translated to United States Dollars in accordance with SFAS No.52 "Foreign Currency Translation". Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Transactions affecting the Company's revenue and expense accounts are translated using an average exchange rate during the period presented. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in RMB. Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments are included in Other Comprehensive Income and disclosed as a separate category of Stockholders' Equity.

Accounts Receivable and Notes Receivable

The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and recorded based on management's assessment of the credit history with the customer and current relationships with them.

The Company makes provision for bad debts based on an assessment of the recoverability of accounts receivable. Specific provisions are applied to related-party receivables and third-party receivables where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible. However, due to the Company's experience in the sale and distribution of raw jade in 2009, and the nature of the Company's business, management did not expect any uncollectible receivables. As of March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, there was no allowance recorded for the doubtful accounts.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Betterments and improvements are depreciated over their estimated useful lives and leaseholds are depreciated over the lesser of lease life or useful life. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation (the net book value of the assets) is eliminated and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Furniture and equipment 5 years

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of financial statement presentation, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, from the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition

The Company applies the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ("SAB 104"), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB 104 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. Sales revenue is recognized when (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company determines whether criteria (3) and (4) are met based on judgments regarding the nature of the price charged for products and the collectibility of those fees. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as advances from customers. Advances from customers at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are $146,314 and $146,314, respectively. Returns are not permitted after the customer accepts the product.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The carrying value of notes payable approximates fair value because negotiated terms and conditions are consistent with current market rates as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 respectively.

Earnings per share

The computation of net earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period presented. The Company utilizes the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings per share, which considers potentially issuable shares on common stock equivalents. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," common stock warrants and options have a dilutive effect when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the warrants and options. The average market price of the Company's common stock during the year ended December 31, 2008 was $3.43. As such, potentially issuable common shares related to options were not considered in the earnings per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2008 because the average fair market value of the Company's common stock was below the exercise price of all outstanding options. Potentially issuable common shares totaling 1,000,000 related to warrants were considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and the incremental shares of 548,117 and 760,000 related to the warrants have been included in the calculation, respectively.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123R. Share Based Payments ("SFAS 123R."). The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which involves certain subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them ("expected term"), the number of options for which vesting requirements will not be completed ("forfeitures"). Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair value stock-based compensation, and the related amount recognized on the consolidated statement of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," we record impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, ("FSP EITF 03-6-1"). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore need to be included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method as described in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share." FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited. We are not required to adopt FSP EITF 03-6-1; neither do we believe that FSP EITF 03-6-1 would have material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations if adopted.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 163, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-and interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60". SFAS No. 163 clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claims liabilities. This statement also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS No. 163 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. SFAS No. 163 has no effect on the Company's financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". SFAS No. 162 sets forth the level of authority to a given accounting pronouncement or document by category. Where there might be conflicting guidance between two categories, the more authoritative category will prevail. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days after the SEC approves the PCAOB's amendments to AU Section 411 of the AICPA Professional Standards. SFAS No. 162 has no effect on the Company's financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This standard requires companies to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has not yet adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 161, but does not expect it to have an impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As discussed in Note 1, on January 18, 2008, the Company announced that it would transfer 100% of its ownership interest in Jiangxi XiDa and pay approximately $8.8 million to XiKai Mining and in return it would receive the Exclusive Rights to purchase 90% of the raw jade produced by XiKai Mining's SheTai jade mine at a predetermined price. The Company commenced its purchasing and subsequent resale of raw jade in late January 2008. Jiangxi XiDa held all of the Company's woodcarving operations, which constituted all of the Company's previous business operations. The results of operations for the woodcarving business and the gain resulting from the transfer are presented in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations as Discontinued Operations.

Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions" ("APB 29"), requires that the cost of a non-monetary asset acquired in exchange for another non-monetary asset be the fair value of the asset surrendered to acquire it and that a gain or loss be recognized as a result of the exchange. The Company's woodcarving business was appraised at RMB 430,035,000 (then equivalent to approximately $60,400,000). The value of the exclusive jade distribution rights is determined as follows:

Fair value of Jiangxi XiDa wood carving (RMB 430,035,000) $ 60,390,543
Cash consideration (RMB 60,000,000) 8,778,861

NOTE 7 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Jade Distribution Rights

The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which requires that intangible assets that have indefinite lives not be amortized but instead be tested at least annually for impairment, or more frequently when events or a change in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. For indefinite lived intangible assets, impairment is tested by comparing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value and assessing the ongoing appropriateness of the indefinite life classification. For intangible assets with a definite life classification, the Company amortizes the asset over its useful or economic life, whichever is shorter. At least quarterly, the Company performs an analysis of impairment of the definite life intangible assets. In performing this assessment, management considers current market analysis and appraisal of the asset, along with estimates of future cash flows. The Company recognizes impairment losses when undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated from long-lived assets are less than the amount of unamortized assets. If the Company determines that the asset has been impaired, a charge to the Company's statements of operations is recorded. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company determined that there was no impairment to the intangible assets.

As discussed in Note 2, the Company transferred its woodcarving operations and agreed to pay RMB 60 million (approximately $8.8 million) to XiKai Mining. In return, the Company received the Exclusive Distribution Rights to purchase 90% of the raw jade produced by XiKai's SheTai mine at a fixed price for 5 years, subject to adjustment every 5 years thereafter. The woodcarving operations were assessed as having a fair value of $60,400,000 at the time of the exchange agreement. The assessed value plus the cash payment (approximately $8.8 million) is the basis of the exclusive distribution rights.

Introduction

Overview

The Company is a seller and distributor in China of raw jade, ranging in uses from decorative construction material for both the commercial and residential markets to high-end jewelry. For more than 30 years, the Company's business consisted of manufacturing and selling hand and machine-carved wood products, such as furniture, architectural accents and Buddhist figurines in China. Commencing in 2007, we experienced a reduction of revenue from our woodcarving business, which largely resulted from increased competition. As a result, we decided to dispose of our wood products business and to enter the business of raw jade sales and distribution, which management believed presented a better long-term growth potential. On January 11, 2008, we formed a new wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary, JiangXi SheTai Jade Industrial Company Limited ("STJ"), to engage in the sale and distribution of raw jade throughout China. Our goal is to meet China's increasing demand for jade and to eventually vertically integrate our raw jade distribution activities with jade processing, carving, polishing, and, at a later date, retail sales.

On January 17, 2008, the Company entered into an Exclusive Distribution Rights Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with Wulateqianqi XiKai Mining Co., Ltd. ("XiKai Mining"). Under the Exchange Agreement, XiKai Mining committed to sell to the Company 90% of the raw jade material produced from its SheTai Jade mine, located in Wulateqianqi, China, for a period of 50 years (the "Exclusive Rights"). In exchange for these Exclusive Rights, the Company agreed to pay XiKai Mining RMB 60 million (approximately $8.8 million) by March 31, 2009 and, to transfer to XiKai Mining 100% of our ownership interest in all of the Company's woodcarving operations, which were contained in Jiangxi XiDa. This transfer of Jiangxi XiDa was made on February 20, 2008.

XiKai Mining is the Company's sole source for raw jade. Under the Exchange Agreement, the price for the raw jade material has been set for the first five years at RMB 2000 (approximately $285) per metric ton, and is subsequently subject to renegotiation every five years with adjustments not to exceed 10%. This mine commenced operation in 2002 and is estimated to have an annual operating capacity of approximately 40,000 metric tons by 2009. It has one of the largest jade reserves in China. According to a survey report issued by the Inner Mongolia Geological Institution, the mine has proven and probable reserves of approximately six million metric tons. SheTai Jade is a form of jadeite found in the mountain ranges of Inner Mongolia, China. The jade from the SheTai mine is stainless, non-corrosive, non-weathering and unfadable. It has a glassy luster and a pure and an attractive green color. It is also much harder and more durable than other forms of jade. As a result of such characteristics, SheTai Jade has a broad spectrum of applications, ranging from commercial and residential construction, and decorative jade artwork to intricately carved jade jewelry.

We commenced the distribution and sale of jade in January 2008. During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, we entered into five contracts for the sale of raw jade. During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company entered into one additional contract. The total value of these contracts is approximately $42 million. The contracts require the customers to purchase specified amounts raw jade over periods ranging from six months to one year at times which are at the discretion of the customer. The contracts for the sale of raw jade generally provide that the Company is to receive 30% of the contracted value of the order before shipment, with the balance to be paid within 10 days after customer's inspection and acceptance of the jade. However, the Company's customers generally have, instead, paid the balance within 45 days after shipment. Xikai Mining mines the raw jade and prepares the raw jade for pick-up by the Company's customers at a warehouse which Xikai Mining maintains near its She Tai Jade mine.

The supply of Jade from XiKai Mining was interrupted on June 10, 2008, when an earthquake damaged the sole road on which raw jade is transported from Xikai Mining's warehouse. A smaller service road was still navigable, allowing basic mining operations to continue. The mine was able to continue to mine raw jade, cut jade and prepared for pick-up by the Company's customers at warehouse, however due to the larger tonnage requirements, the shipment of raw jade from the warehouse by the Company's customers was completely halted. The road was subsequently repaired and the shipment of raw jade from the mine commenced again on September 23, 2008. As a result of the interruption in the shipment of raw jade from the SheTai Jade mine, the Company's revenues in its second quarter ended June 30, 2008, and its third quarter ended September 30, 2008, were substantially below the levels which the Company had anticipated.

The Company had sales revenue of $4,967,029 during the quarter ended March 31, 2009. These sales resulted from orders for raw jade received by the Company from existing customers in 2008. As more fully described below because of the downturn in the Chinese economy, the Company did not acquire any new customers or enter into any new contracts with existing customers during the first quarter of 2009.

REVENUE

Subsequent to the acquisition of the Exclusive Rights pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, The Company's sales revenue has been derived solely from the sale of raw jade. The revenue from the sale of raw jade was $4,967,029 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $10,663,024 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $5,695,995, or 53%. The decrease in revenue resulted from a decrease in orders of raw jade received by the Company from existing customers in 2008 and a lack of new customers. The Chinese economy has experienced a slowing growth rate due to a number of factors explained in more detail below. This has had a negative impact on the commercial and residential construction markets and the high-end jewelry market into which the company sells raw jade. As demand has declined, our customers have been negatively affected which, in turn, has resulted in a slowdown of customer orders and an inability of the company to obtain new customers in the second half of 2008 and first quarter of 2009.

COST OF SALES

The cost of sales was $1,090,642 during the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $1,574,831 during the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $484,189, or 31%. The decrease is primarily due to the decrease in sales in the first quarter of 2009.

GROSS PROFIT

The resulting gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $3,876,387, which represented approximately 78% of revenue, compared to $9,088,193 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, which represented approximately 85% of revenue. The decrease of $5,211,806 in gross profit is primarily due to the decrease in sales in the first quarter of 2009.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A) were $334,631 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $718,715 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in SG&A was mainly due to the decrease in the Company's normal operational activities.

INCOME BEFORE TAXES FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Income before taxes from continuing operations was $3,541,756 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $8,369,478 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, which resulted primarily from the sale of raw jade from SheTai mine by the Company. Comparing the Income before taxes from continuing operations of the first quarter of 2009 with the first quarter of 2008, there is a decrease of $4,827,722, or a 58% decrease is primarily due to the same reason that affects our revenue above.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

The income tax expense pertaining to continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $1,092,992, compared to $2,330,560 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $1,237,568, or 53%. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in revenue.

NET INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

The Company recorded Net Income from Continuing Operations of $2,449,045 during the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $6,018,644 recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $3,569,599, or 59%. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in our revenue as explained above.

NET INCOME

The Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $2,449,045 compared to $70,809,483 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $68,360,438, or 97%. This decrease is primarily due to the fact that net income from discontinued operations, totaling $55,419,366, was included in net income for the first quarter of 2008, which contributes 81% of the difference between the first quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 2009, the Company's cash was $850,713 as compared to $684,103 as of March 31, 2008. The components of this $507,290 increase are reflected below.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company had net cash flow from operating activities of $2,143,340, compared to $6,231,316 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a $4,087,976 decrease or 66%, primarily attributable to the decrease in net income from continuing operation.

Net Cash Provided (Used) by Investing Activities and Financing Activities

The Company used $0 in its Investing Activities during the three months ending March 31, 2009, compared to $13,019,930 used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The Company spent $6,792,244 in purchasing distribution rights and $33,353 in purchasing property and equipment, and $6,194,333 for notes receivable.

The Chinese economy has experienced a slowing growth rate due to a number of factors, including the global economic crisis, the appreciation of the RMB and economic and monetary policies adopted by the Chinese government aimed at preventing overheating of the Chinese economy and inflation. This has had a negative impact on the commercial and residential construction markets and the high-end jewelry markets into which the Company sells raw jade. As demand has declined, our customers have been negatively affected which, in turn, has resulted in a slowdown in customer orders and the inability of the Company to obtain new customers in the second half of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. The Company cannot predict how long the downturn in the Chinese economy will last, the continuing impact of the downturn on its business and operating results and the timing of any subsequent recovery.

The Company has continued to receive orders from and make sales to its existing customers through its first quarter ended March 31, 2009. However, the Company has not obtained new customers since the second quarter ended June 30, 2008. Four of the Company's six customers have fulfilled their purchase obligations under their respective contracts with the Company. Two of the Company's customers remain obligated to purchase a total of 3,750 metric tons of raw jade, for a total purchase price of $11.5 million. However, as a result of the adverse impact of the downturn in the Chinese economy on these customers, the Company has informally agreed to extend the period in which the customers must fulfill their purchase obligations to a date to be mutually agreed upon in the future.

Due to the nature of the Company's business as a reseller and distributor of raw jade, principal components of the Company's overhead, such as salaries and lease obligations, are relatively low. Management presently anticipates that the Company's present cash on hand and cash expected to be generated from operating activities will, under current conditions, be sufficient to finance the Company's planned operations until December 31, 2009. Subsequent to that time, in the event that the Company does not obtain new customers or new orders from existing customers, the Company will not be able to meet its operating expenses with cash flow from operations. Under such circumstances, the Company would need to obtain additional debt or equity financing.

The Company does not have any credit facilities with banks or other lenders. Furthermore, the economic downturn and the deterioration in equity and credit markets generally has made obtaining financing more difficult and costly and potentially more dilutive to our existing investors. The failure to secure any necessary additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse affect on our ability to conduct our operations, satisfy our existing debt obligations and to implement our expansion plans.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company's significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain accounting estimates are particularly important to the understanding of the Company's financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by the Company's management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside the control of management. The Company's management uses their judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on historical operations, future business plans and projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, the observance of trends in the industry, information provided by customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. The following discusses the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates.

Accounting Method

The consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company changed its fiscal year-end from July 31 to December 31 in fiscal year 2007.

Principles of Consolidation

Use of Estimates

Foreign Currency Translation

Accounts Receivable and Notes Receivable

The Company makes provision for bad debts based on an assessment of the recoverability of accounts receivable. Specific provisions are applied to related-party receivables and third-party receivables where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible. However, due to the Company's experience in the sale and distribution of raw jade in 2008, and the nature of the Company's business, management did not expect any uncollectible receivables. As of March 31, 2009, there was no allowance recorded for the doubtful accounts.

Inventories

During 2007, raw materials and supplies are stated at the lower of cost (computed on an average cost basis) or market. Work-in-process and finished goods are stated at the lower of average cost or market. If required, the Company provides inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand. This policy only applied to the Company's woodcarving business that was discontinued in early 2008.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company's principal wholly owned subsidiary operates in China, and is exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations related to the translation of the financial results of our operations in China into U.S. dollars during consolidation. The value of the RMB-to-U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions. As exchange rates fluctuate, these results, when translated, may vary from expectations and adversely impact overall expected profitability.

Since 1994, the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, had been based on rates set by the People's Bank of China, which are set daily based on the previous day's inter-bank foreign exchange market rates and current exchange rates on the world financial markets. Since 1994, the official exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to U.S. dollars had generally been stable and RMB had appreciated slightly against the U.S. dollar.

However, on July 21, 2005, the Chinese government changed its policy of pegging the value of RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, RMB may fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. Recently there has been increased political pressure on the Chinese government to decouple the RMB from the United States dollar. At the recent quarterly regular meeting of People's Bank of China, its Currency Policy Committee affirmed the effects of the reform on RMB exchange rate.

Since February 2006, the new currency rate system has operated; the currency rate of RMB has become more flexible while basically maintaining stability and the expectation for a larger appreciation range is shrinking.

The Company has never engaged in currency hedging operations and has no present intention to do so.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), 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 based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2009, the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports was recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis.

The Company's independent registered public accounting firm advised the Company of the following material weakness in its financial reporting: lack of sufficient resources to identify and properly address technical SEC reporting issues.

There were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
