B.    CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS  Not Applicable   C.    REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS  Not Applicable   D.    RISKS FACTORS  The risks and uncertainties described below are those that we currently believe may materially affect us. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we currently deem immaterial may also become important factors that affect us. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, operating results, or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.    -3-     Risks Related to Our Business  The Company's Operating Results May Fluctuate Significantly  The Company's operating results may be affected by a wide variety of factors that could materially adversely affect revenues and profitability, including: competitive pressures on selling prices; the timing of customer orders and the deferral or cancellation of orders previously received; changes in product mix; the Company's ability to introduce new products and technologies on a timely basis; the introduction of products and technologies by the Company's competitors; market acceptance of the Company's and the Company's competitors' products; fulfilling backlog on a timely basis. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, from time to time we experience material fluctuations in future operating results on a quarterly or annual basis which could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and operating results.  We Depend On Our Subsidiaries' Factories  We have no direct business operations, other than through our ownership of our subsidiaries for the manufacturing and sales of paper principally for printing and writing in the PRC. Our results of operations and financial condition are currently solely dependent on our subsidiary's factories in the PRC. We currently maintain fire, casualty and theft insurance covering various of our stock in trade, goods and merchandise, furniture and equipment, and factory buildings in the PRC. The proceeds of this insurance may not sufficiently cover material damage to, or the loss of, any of our factories due to fire, severe weather, flooding or other cause, and such damage or loss would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business and prospects. However, we have not suffered from such material damage or loss to date.   Competition  The Company is engaged in, through its subsidiaries, the manufacturing and sales of paper principally for printing and writing in China. Yantai Dahua Paper is a leading paper manufacturer in Shandong, PRC. There are competitors in the industry that provide similar products and services to those which are provided by Yantai Dahua Paper. Yantai Dahua Paper's future success will depend to an extent upon its ability to remain competitive in the areas of service, quality, price, marketing, product development, service delivery, distribution and client processing. There can be no assurance that Yantai Dahua Paper will be able to compete successfully. Prices for the Yantai Dahua Paper's products and services are typically determined by market conditions. To remain competitive, the Company reviews and adjusts its pricing structure from time to time in response to such industry-wide price changes. To the extent that the Company may be obligated to adjust Yantai Dahua Paper's pricing policies to meet competition, the Company's financial performance may be adversely affected by its inability to reduce its costs in response to industry-wide price reductions or by its inability to increase its prices in response to increases in its costs and expenses.   -4-     Losses From Recent Operations And Poor Financial Condition  We incurred substantial net loss in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 as a result of increased costs of sales, high selling, general and administrative expenses and increased financing costs. See Items 5 and 18 elsewhere in this annual report for more complete financial information about the Company's financial condition and results of operation.  The Company's Dependence On Key Personnel  The Company's ability to compete is largely dependent on the personal efforts and abilities of its senior management. The Company believes that the loss of the services of any of these executives could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, the Company believes that its success is dependent on its ability to attract and retain additional qualified employees, and the failure to recruit and retain additional skilled personnel could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The Company currently does not maintain key employee insurance on any of its employees.   Dividend Policy  The Company anticipates that all of its earnings in the foreseeable future will  be retained for the development and expansion of its business and, therefore, has no current plans to pay cash dividends. The Company's future dividend policy will depend on the Company's earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, bank facilities and other factors considered relevant by the Board of Directors. However, at present, the Company does not have any plans to pay cash dividends in the future.   Effect Of Changes In Belize Laws Could Negatively Impact Shareholders  Because the Company is incorporated in Belize, it is subject to potential changes in Belize law. The effects of any change in Belize laws on the Company are unknown at this time, but such effects may be adverse to the Company's stockholders' best interests. These potential changes include changes in tax law, corporate law, political instability, economic collapse, and currency fluctuations.    -5-     Risks Related to Doing Business in China  Political And Economic Instability In The PRC May Result In Loss To The Company's Stockholders  The Company is organized under the laws of Belize but engages in business in the PRC. Since 1979, the PRC adopted an open-door policy and the country gradually shifting itself towards a more market-oriented economy. Such reforms have resulted in significant economic growth and social progress. Many of the reforms are unprecedented or experimental and will be refined and improved upon.  The reforms over the past 25 years have significantly opened up the country's investment and business environment compared with the past, but as the economy is now at a transitional stage, a number of reforms are subject to further refinements and readjustments. We are operating on the assumption that, in the long term, such refinements and readjustments should in most cases improve the overall investment and business environment that would be advantageous to us.  However, there is no assurance that such reforms will benefit us immediately, and it is difficult to determine whether such reforms may have direct or indirect negative impacts on our business and operations in the future.  The Legal And Regulatory Framework Of The PRC Could Create Losses For The Company Stockholders  The National People's Congress, or its Standing Committee, is responsible for the passing of new laws of the PRC and any amendments thereto. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes. Court judgments are therefore not legally binding - although judges in subsequent cases will often make reference to them in forming their judgments. The interpretation of the PRC laws may be subject to policy changes reflecting the domestic, political and social developments at the time. Since 1979, to facilitate foreign investments and to meet the needs of Investors, the PRC government has been developing and modifying its economic systems by promulgating a series of economic related laws and regulations. As the legal system of the PRC keeps evolving, the promulgation of new legislation, the changes to existing laws and regulations and the precedence of national laws over local regulations may have negative impacts on foreign investors. Although throughout the past 25 years, the legal system of the PRC in general has been evolving in favor of foreign investors, there is no guarantee that the changes and modifications of laws and regulations in the future will be advantageous to foreign investors as in the past. Therefore uncertainty exists as to changes to and/or development of any PRC laws and regulations and of the legal system itself. There is no assurance that any change in and interpretation of the PRC laws and regulations in future will not have any adverse effect on our business and prospects.    -6-     The Currency Of Our Operating Subsidiary Is Not Freely Convertible  The State Administration for Foreign Exchange ("SAFE"), under the authority of the People's Bank of China (the "PBOC"), controls the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currency. The value of the Renminbi is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market.  Since substantially all of our raw materials are provided by local suppliers using Renminbi and the majority of our expenses are denominated in Renminbi, restrictions on currency conversions did not and likely will not materially affect our operations. Also, since we do not expect to require any raw material that are not permitted or are limited to purchase using foreign currencies, our management believes that such restriction will not materially affect our operations in the future.  However, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiaries and our other holdings and investments, and our operating subsidiaries located in China may be subject to restrictions on the conversion of Renminbi to U.S. dollars and, as a result, may be restricted to make distributions to us.  In view of the current economy of China, the control and review of the foreign exchange rate by the central government and the People's Bank of China has announced in July 2005 that Renminbi would be pegged to a basket of foreign currencies rather than being strictly tied to the U.S. dollar. This change in policy has resulted in an appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar. Basically the international reaction the Renminbi revaluation has been positive, there is still significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which might result in further appreciation of Renminbi .    -7-     Risks Related to the Securities of Our Company   Lack Of Liquidity Or Difficulty In Buying And Selling The Company's Shares, Which Are Considered A "Penny Stock," As Defined.  The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure in connection with trades in any stock defined as a "penny stock." The SEC's regulations generally define a penny stock to be an equity security that has a price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. No exceptions are applicable to the Company. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith. In addition, unless and until the securities of the Company are listed for trading on NASDAQ or the Company has $2 million in net tangible assets, trading in the Company's securities will be subject to Rule 15c2-6 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for non-NASDAQ and non-exchange listed securities.  Under the penny stock rules, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000) must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser, receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to sale and provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents which identify certain risks associated with investing in penny stock and which describe the market as well as the purchaser's legal remedies. Further, the broker-dealer must also obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment from the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document before a transaction in a penny stock can be consummated.  These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for securities that become subject to the penny stock rules. With the Company's securities being subject to the penny stock rules, investors may find it more difficult to sell such securities, which could have an adverse effect on the market price thereof. Because our common stock would be characterized as penny stock, the market liquidity for the Company's securities could be adversely affected. In such an event, the penny stocks regulations could limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company's securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.  Indemnification Of Officers And Directors For Securities Liabilities Could Create Loss Of Return On Investment For Stockholders  The laws of Belize provide that the Company may indemnify any director,  officer, agent and/or employee as to those liabilities and on those terms and conditions as provided for by law. Further, the Company may purchase and maintain insurance (but has not done so) on behalf of any such persons whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against the liability insured against. The foregoing could result in substantial expenditures by the Company and prevent any recovery from such officers, directors, agents and employees for losses incurred by the Company as a result of their actions.  Further, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.  -8-     Pursuant to the International Business Companies Act (the "Act") and Articles of Association of Yantai Dahua Holdings Company Limited (previously known as Equity Finance Holding Corporation), every director or other officer of the Company shall be entitled to be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against all losses or liabilities which he may sustain or incur in or about the execution of the duties of his office or otherwise in relation thereto, and no director or other officer shall be liable for any loss, damage or misfortune which may happen to or be incurred by the Company in the execution of the duties of his office or in relation thereto. But this Article shall only have effect insofar as its provisions are not avoided by the Securities Act of 1933.   Stockholder Loss Might Result Because A U.S. Citizen Who Purchases Shares Of Common Stock May Have Difficulty In Enforcing His Rights Against The Company  The Company is incorporated in Belize and engages in business in the People's Republic of China (`PRC"); its directors and officers and certain of its advisers are citizens and/or residents of the PRC. The Company engages in, through its subsidiaries, the manufacturing and sales of paper principally for printing and writing in the PRC. The main assets of its subsidiaries are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for stockholders to initiate a lawsuit within the United States against the Company or its subsidiaries or these non-resident persons, or to enforce judgments in the United States against the Company or its subsidiaries or these persons that are obtained in a non-United States court. It also may be difficult for stockholders to enforce a judgment of a United States court or to succeed in a lawsuit in Belize or China on the assets of the Company's subsidiaries based only on the United States securities laws.   Stockholder Rights May Be At Risk As A Result Of The Company's Organizing In Belize  In Belize, there is no established body of corporate law on which stockholders can rely for clarifying and protecting their rights. These rights differ materially from typical rights of investors in most U.S. companies. For example, (1) stockholders do no have the right to approve mergers and sales of substantially all of the Company assets, and (2) dissenters' rights of appraisal do not exist by law.    ITEM 4   INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY   A.    HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY  Equity Finance Holding Corporation (Equity Finance), a Belize corporation, the predecessor of the Company, was a management consulting corporation and marketer of management and financial consulting services offered principally to small businesses.   -9-     On February 18, 2003 Equity Finance announced the closing of an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange dated January 10, 2003 pursuant to which it acquired Australia China Investments Limited ("Australia China"), a British Virgin Islands limited corporation incorporated on February 1, 2002, engaged, by and through a subsidiary, in the production and sale principally of printing and writing papers in the PRC. In connection with the exchange, Equity Finance changed its name to Yantai Dahua Holdings Company Limited.  The Companys subsidiary, Yantai Dahua Paper Industry Company Limited (Yantai Dahua), is a Sino-foreign joint venture established on April 14, 1994 and is 85% owned by Australia China. It has registered capital of Rmb38,177,000 and a joint venture term until 2024.  Yantai Longda Paper Industry Company Limited, a company incorporated in the PRC, formerly known as "Muping Paper Manufacturer", an originally state-owned enterprise that is now a private company jointly owned by management and employees, is the PRC partner holding 15% of Yantai Dahua Paper.  Yantai Dahua Paper is principally engaged in manufacturing and selling various paper products, including printing paper, writing paper and computer paper, etc.  At a meeting held on April 3, 2003, the Board of Directors resolved to issue two additional shares for each common stock issued and outstanding, as a stock split, for no consideration, to its stockholders of record on April 13, 2003, to be effected on April 23, 2003. The additional shares would be of the same class of common stock outstanding, with the same right and privileges and without change in the par value. Prior to the split, the Company has a total of 11,149,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The stock split increased the total issued and outstanding shares to 33,447,000.    B.    BUSINESS OVERVIEW  The Company, through its subsidiary, is engaged in the manufacturing and sales of paper principally for printing and writing.  The Company sells substantially all of its products in China. Yantai Dahua Paper is a one of the leading paper manufacturers in Shandong, China and employs about  staff.  The Company's production facilities are based at Yantai Dahua Paper, situated at Muping, Yantai City, Shandong Province. Yantai Dahua Paper's current designed production capacity is about 28,000 tons of paper per year.  The major types of paper products manufactured by Yantai Dahua Paper comprise of printing paper, writing paper and computer paper, etc.  In 2006, about 93% of the Companys sales were from printing paper, of which special light weight printing paper accounted for about 48% of the Companys sales.   -10-     During 2006, the Company has sold about 19,700 tons of paper, a 6.3% decrease as compared with 2005.  Sales of the Company's paper products are conducted by Yantai Dahua Paper's sales teams based at the head office in Muping and 6 representative offices located at Beijing, Shijiazhuang (capital city of Hebei Province), Guangzhou (capital city of Guangdong province), Lanzhou (capital city of Gansu Province), Shanghai and Hangzhou.  With representative offices covering the capital city and major cities in northern, eastern, western and southern China, the Company has established a sales and distribution network serving an established customer base all over China.  In 2006, the Company has a list of more than 240 customers throughout China. Of these, the top five major customers account for about 30% of the yearly sales. These major customers include book publishers, printers, and state-owned enterprises and they are material to the Company's business and profitability. The loss of any one or more of these major customers would have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operation.  The Company's sales in the second half of the year are usually higher than those in the first half of the year because the Company usually repairs the equipment during the Chinese New Year. The sales are affected by the drop in production because of the repairs.  Due to the environmental requirement, the Company has ceased the production of wheat stalk pulp and waste paper pulp in its plant.  At present, the Company purchases of its raw materials, i.e. wheat stalk pulp and wood pulp, from local suppliers.  It also imports some high-quality wood pulp from North America.  The manufacturing of paper products also requires substantial amount of water, heat and electricity. At present, the Company supplies its own heat with its 35 metric tons boiler, which commenced operation in April 2001. The Company has built in 2001 a new 3,000 kilowatt electricity generator within its site at Muping by using internally generated funds for the new generator. With this new facility, the Company is no longer dependent on the local grid to supply its electricity, and the Company expects to save on its electricity bill.  In 2006, we estimate there are more than 500 paper manufacturers in the PRC. Of these, about 200 have an annual production capacity of over 20,000 tons. In Shandong province alone, there are about 70 paper manufacturers. The Company competes with them mainly in the aspects of brand name recognition, distribution capability, product quality and capability of mass production.   -11-     The paper manufacturing industry, because of the process of cleaning and bleaching of the pulp, does produce effluents which contaminate the environment and consume a great deal of water. In a country where water is a valuable resource, the PRC government is implementing stringent measures to protect the environment. A number of these paper plants that fail to meet the environmental standards have been and will be closed. Only those that comply with the environmental standards can continue to produce. The Company has complied with the said standards.   New Associate Company  On April 3, 2004, Australia China entered into an agreement with Yantai Longda to establish Yantai Longxiang Paper Industry Limited ("YLXP"), a sino-foreign equity joint venture with registered capital of US$2,491,200. Each of Australia China and Yantai Longda beneficially owns 25% and 75% equity interest, respectively, in YLXP and is classified as an associate of the Company.  As at December 31, 2006, YLXP was still in development stage and has not yet in operation.   C.    ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE  The Company100%Australia ChinaYantai Longda85%15%Yantai Dahua Paper  D.    PROPERTY, PLANTS AND EQUIPMENT  Yantai Dahua Paper is situated at Muping East at a site close to the Yantai-Weihai Highway. The area of the site is about 110,000 square meters. On the site, the total built-up area is about 22,000 square meters. The built-up area includes 4 paper making plants, storage warehouse, administration block, boiler plant, electricity generation plant, effluent treatment plant, and other amenities.  There are 4 paper-making plants in Yantai Dahua Paper, with a total production capacity of 28,000 tons of paper per year. In each of these plants, there is one paper making machine. Three of the plants produce up to a maximum of 22,000 tons of paper with a width of 1.76 meters and one produces up to 6,000 tons of paper with width of 1.575 meters.  -12-       ITEM 5   OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS   A.    OPERATING RESULTS   General -"Forward Looking Statements"  All statements contained herein that are not historical facts, such as statements regarding the Company's current business strategy and plans for future operations are "Forward-Looking Statements" based upon current expectations. These statements are forward-looking in nature and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described herein under "Risk Factors" under Item 3 and also include, among others:  (1)   significant increases in competitive pressure in the paper industry; (2)   general global economic conditions; (3)   changes in the regulatory environment; and (4)   changes in the securities markets.  Therefore, the information set forth in such Forward-Looking Statements should be carefully considered when evaluating the business prospects of the Company.   Financial Results   Fiscal year 2006 vs. Fiscal year 2005  For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company had a net loss of US$584,899 compared to a net loss of US$3,066,089 for the previous year.  Sales slightly increased from $12,034,363 in 2005 to $12,954,196 in 2006 whereas gross profit margin increased from 12.5% in 2005 to 14.6% in 2006.  This is mainly due to the increase in the sales of light weight printing paper which generally has a higher profit margin.

See Item 19 for a list of exhibits filed as part of this annual report or incorporated herein by reference.   B.    MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION  This information, contained in the by-laws of Equity Finance Holding Corporation and the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association of Equity Finance Holding Corporation, IBC No. 6825, incorporated, Belize, 6 March 1998, is hereby incorporated by specific reference in this annual report to Exhibits 1 and 2 to the registration statement on Form 8-A12G dated February 20, 2003.   -20-     C.    MATERIAL CONTRACTS  None/Not applicable  D.    EXCHANGE CONTROLS  Belize has no system of exchange controls. There are no Belize restrictions on the repatriation of capital or earnings of a Belize public company to non-resident investors. There are no laws in Belize or exchange restrictions affecting the remittance of dividends, profits, interest, royalties and other payments to non-resident holders of the Company's securities.  Chinas government imposes control over the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies. The conversion of RMB into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the Peoples Bank of China. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the Renminbi is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximately 3.0% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar by the end of 2005. While the international reaction to the RMB revaluation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar.  Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations issued by the State Council on January 29, 1996 and effective as of April 1, 1996 (and amended on January 14, 1997) and the Administration of Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange Regulations which came into effect on July 1, 1996 regarding foreign exchange control, or the Regulations, conversion of RMB into foreign exchange by foreign investment enterprises for current account items, including the distribution of dividends and profits to foreign investors of joint ventures, is permissible. Foreign investment enterprises are permitted to remit foreign exchange from their foreign exchange bank account in China on the basis of, inter alia, the terms of the relevant joint venture contracts and the board resolutions declaring the distribution of the dividend and payment of profits. Conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and remittance of foreign currencies for capital account items, including direct investment, loans, security investment, is still subject to the approval of SAFE, in each such transaction. On January 14, 1997, the State Council amended the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations and added, among other things, an important provision, as Article 5 provides that the State shall not impose restrictions on recurring international payments and transfers.  Under the Regulations, foreign investment enterprises are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items (but not for other items). In addition, foreign investment enterprises may only buy, sell and/or remit foreign currencies at those banks authorized to conduct foreign exchange business upon the production of valid commercial documents and, in the case of capital account item transactions, document approval from SAFE.  -21-     Currently, foreign investment enterprises are required to apply to SAFE for foreign exchange registration certificates for foreign investment enterprises. With such foreign exchange registration certificates (which are granted to foreign investment enterprises, upon fulfilling specified conditions and which are subject to review and renewal by SAFE on an annual basis) or with the foreign exchange sales notices from the SAFE (which are obtained on a transaction-by-transaction basis), foreign-invested enterprises may enter into foreign exchange transactions at banks authorized to conduct foreign exchange business to obtain foreign exchange for their needs.   E.    TAXATION  Yantai Dahua Paper is subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdictions in which it operates. The tax jurisdiction of the Company is National Tax Bureau of Yantai District, Shandong Province.  Yantai Dahua Paper is established and is carrying on business in the PRC and subject to the PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 24%.  As the Company has encountered losses for both 2005 and 2006, it records no deferred tax liabilities at both December 31, 2005 and 2006.  The Company is incorporated in Belize and the Belize tax laws are summarized as follows. Unless exempt under an investment incentive, resident companies are liable for corporate income tax on all of their income, whether derived from Belize or not, although foreign earned income is taxed only on remittances to Belize. A company is resident if it is incorporated in Belize or if it's central management and control are exercised in Belize. If a company does not operate under a Fiscal Incentives (Approved Enterprise Order) the total tax payable is 35% of the chargeable income. The Company status is a resident company in Belize.  Corporate income tax is charged on net profits, as adjusted for tax purposes.  Net profits comprise the aggregate amount of net income derived from conducting business in Belize. Inventory valuation is not specifically addressed in income tax law and, in any event, is inapplicable to the Company. Methods that conform to generally accepted accounting principles may be used as long as they are consistently applied. Dividends are taxable in the hands of recipients, the cash amount of the dividends paid being grossed up by the amount of corporate income tax paid by the distributing company, although the latter is liable only for corporate income tax and does not actually account to the tax authorities for any withholding. Some dividends are not taxable on recipients, including those a paid to exempt entities and those paid under specified tax incentives.   F.    DIVIDENDS AND PAYING AGENTS  The Company has not paid any dividends and does not expect to in the future, but rather to use any earnings in the growth and development of its business.

F-5     Yantai Dahua Holdings Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements  1.    ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES  Yantai Dahua Holdings Company Limited ("YDHC") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Company") are principally engaged in manufacturing and selling various paper products, including printing, writing paper and computer paper, etc. The head office of its operating subsidiary is located at East of Muping City, Yantai, Shandong, the People's Republic of China (the "PRC").  Yantai Dahua Paper Industry Limited ("YDPI"), the Company's principal operating subsidiary, was established in the PRC on April 14, 1994 as a sino-foreign equity joint venture which was planned to operate for a term of 15 years until April 14, 2009. On July 30, 2002, Yantai Foreign Investment Bureau also approved YDPI's application for the extension of operating period for an additional 15 years to 2024. As of the balance sheet date, the Company owns an 85% equity interest in YDPI through its wholly owned subsidiary, Australia China Investment Limited ("ACIL"), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.  On April 3, 2004, ACIL entered into an agreement with Yantai Longda Paper Industry Limited ("YLDP") (see relationship in note 8(a) to the financial statements) to establish Yantai Longxiang Paper Industry Limited ("YLXP"), a sino-foreign equity joint venture with registered capital of US$2,491,200. ACIL and YLDP beneficially own 25% and 75% equity interest respectively in YLXP and is classified as an associate of the Company.  YLXP was established on May 11, 2004 and plans to operate for a term of 20 years until May 10, 2024. As of December 31, 2006, the registered capital of YLXP was not fully paid-up by ACIL and YLDP.  2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  Basis of accounting  The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("USGAAP"). The measurement basis used in the preparation of the financial statements is historical cost.  Principles of consolidation  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yantai Dahua Holdings Company Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.  Subsidiary  A subsidiary is an affiliate controlled by the Company directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries. The term control (including the terms controlling, controlled by and under common control with) means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting stocks, by contract, or otherwise.     F-6     Yantai Dahua Holdings Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements  2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)  Associate  An associate is an enterprise in which the Company has significant influence but not control or joint control, over its management. The Company has significant influence in the financial and operating policy decisions.  The interest in an associate is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements under the equity method and is initially recorded at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post acquisition change in the Company's share of the associate's net assets, unless it is acquired and held exclusively with a view to subsequent disposal in the near future or operates under severe long-term restrictions that significantly impair its ability to transfer funds to the investor, in which case the investment is accounted for as trading securities or non-trading securities. The consolidated income statement reflects the Company's share of the post-acquisition results of the associate for the year, including any amortization of goodwill. When the Company's share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of the associate, the carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Company has incurred obligations in respect of the associate.  Revenue recognition  Net sales represent the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added tax ("VAT") and returns. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Nos. 101 and 104, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", when the title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the sales price is determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.  Income taxes  The Company did not carry on any business and did not maintain any branch office in the United States of America.  Provision for income and other related taxes has been made in accordance with the tax rates and laws in effect in the PRC.  Income tax expense is computed based on pre-tax income included in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company provides for deferred income taxes using the liability method, by which deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. The tax consequences of those differences are classified as current or non-current based upon the classification of the related assets or liabilities in the financial statements.    F-7      Yantai Dahua Holdings Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements  2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)  Property and equipment and depreciation  Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Major costs incurred in restoring assets to their normal working conditions are charged to the statement of operations. Improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their expected useful lives.  The gain or loss arising from the retirement or disposal of property, and equipment is determined as the difference between the estimated net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and is recognized as income or expense in the income statement.  Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values, using the straight-line method, at the annual rate per       annum:   Building and fixtures 13-33 years Plant and machinery 10-25 years Motor vehicles 10 years  Impairment of long-lived assets  Long-lived assets are reviewed at least annually for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.  Goodwill will not be allocated to long-lived assets when tested for impairment.  Inventories  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost, which comprises all costs of purchase and, where applicable, other costs that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition, is calculated using the weighted average cost method.  Estimated losses on inventories represent reserves for obsolescence, excess quantities, irregular and slow moving inventory. The Company estimates the loss / write-down on the basis of its assessment of the inventory's net realized value based upon current market conditions and historical experience.    F-8     Yantai Dahua Holdings Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements  2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)  Statement of cash flows  Cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. An investment normally qualifies as a cash equivalent only when it has a maturity of three months      or less from its acquisition date.  Translation of foreign currency  Subsidiaries maintain their accounting books and records in Renminbi ("RMB"). Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated to RMB at the approximate rates of exchange on the dates of transactions.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end are translated at the approximate rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the time the asset or liability was acquired. Exchange gains or losses are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.  On consolidation, the financial statements of the subsidiaries are translated into US$ using the closing rate method, whereby the balance sheet items are translated into US$ using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The share capital and various reserves are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year.  All exchange differences arising on consolidation are recorded within. Historically, foreign exchange transactions have not been material to the financial statements.  (Loss) Earnings per share  Basic (loss) earnings per share are computed by dividing (loss) income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stocks outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per share except that the weighted average number of common stocks outstanding is adjusted to include estimates of additional shares that would be issued if potentially dilutive common stocks had been issued. In addition, income available to common stockholders is adjusted to include any changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed issuance of the dilutive common stocks.  There were no dilutive securities outstanding during the period.  Uses of estimates  The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company's 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 reported periods. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for certain items such as allowances for doubtful accounts, depreciation, taxes and contingencies.  Allowance for doubtful accounts  The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company's estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company's estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change.   F-9     Yantai Dahua Holdings Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements  2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)  Allowance for doubtful accounts (Continued)  The charge for the year ended December 31, 2006 of US$24,198 is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.  Segment information  Operating segments are defined as components of a company about which separated financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates in a single business segment of manufacturing and selling of paper products which are sold in the PRC. There are no reportable business or geographical segments identified and no segment information is disclosed accordingly.  Related parties  Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, or indirectly, to control the other party, or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.  New accounting pronouncements  In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 151 "Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4". This statement amends ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and spoilage should be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal" and that fixed production overheads should be allocated to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The guidance is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005; however, earlier application is permitted for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after November 23, 2004. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 should be applied prospectively.  The Company believes that SFAS No. 151 will not have a significant impact on its financial statements when it is adopted.  In December, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)).  SFAS 123(R) will provide investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and neutral financial information by requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements.  That cost will be measured based on the fair value of he equity or liability instruments issued.  SFAS 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans.  SFAS 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.  SFS 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees.  However, that statement permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in Opinion 25, as long as the footnotes to financial statements disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value-based method had been used.  Public entities (other than those filing as small business issuers) will be required to apply SFAS 123(R) as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005.     F-10     Yantai Dahua Holdings Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements   This pronouncement is effective for the Company, a small business issuer, as of the first interim annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005.  The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123(R), and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Companys overall results of operations or financial position.  In May, 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, entitled Accounting Changes and Error Corrections  a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB  Statement No. 3.  This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle.  This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle.  It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions.  Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principles be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle.  This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change.  This Statement defines as the application of a different accounting principle to prior accounting periods as if that principle had always been used or as the adjustment of previously issued financial statements to reflect a change in the reporting entity.  This statement also redefines restatement as the revising of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error.  The adoption of SFAS 154 did not impact the financial statements.  In July 2005, the FASB issued FSP No APB 18-1, "Accounting by an Investor for Its Proportionate Share of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income of an Investee Accounted for under the Equity Method in Accordance with APB Opinion No. 18 upon a Loss of Significant Influence". This pronouncement states that an investor's proportionate share of an investee's equity adjustments for other comprehensive income (OCI) should be offset against the carrying value of the investment at the time significant influence is lost. To the extent that the offset results in a carrying value of the investment that is less than zero, an investor should (a) reduce the carrying value of the investment to zero and (b) record the remaining balance in income. This guidance is effective as of the first reporting period beginning after July 12, 2005.  In June, 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN48).  FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transition.  FIN 48 is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  Management believes that this statement will not have a significant impact on the financial statements.  Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income  Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the change in equity of the Company during the periods presented from foreign currency translation adjustments.  These transactions are deemed immaterial for the year presented.  F-11     Yantai Dahua Holdings Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements  3.    PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES  The Company is subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdictions in which it operates.  The operating subsidiary is established and is carrying on business in the PRC. It is subject to the PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 24%.

CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS  As of December 31, 2006, the company did not have any contingent liabilities and commitments.   F-14      Yantai Dahua Holdings Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements  10.   STATUTORY RESERVES  According to the Articles of Association of YDPI, its income is distributable to its joint venture partners after any required transfer to statutory reserves. Being a sino-foreign equity joint venture, YDPI is required to maintain a reserve fund, an enterprise development fund and a staff welfare and bonus fund.  Statutory reserves include the reserve fund and the staff welfare and bonus fund. Pursuant to the Articles of Association, YDPI's board of directors determines the percentage of appropriations to the reserve fund and the staff welfare and bonus fund. The reserve fund can be used to make good losses in previous years. The staff welfare and bonus fund, which is to be used for the welfare of the staff and workers of YDPI, is of a capital nature.  The nature of enterprise development fund is set aside for future development.   11.   RETIREMENT BENEFITS AND OTHER EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS  As stipulated by the PRC rules and regulations, YDPI participates in a retirement plan for all employees. Pursuant to the plan, all retired employees of YDPI are entitled to certain retirement benefits. YDPI is required to make contributions to a state sponsored retirement plan at approximately 20% of the base amount which is within the range from US$57 to US$278 per employee as stipulated by the PRC government. YDPI determines the base amount with reference to the basic salary of its employees and has no further obligations for the actual payments of any post-retirement benefits. The state sponsored retirement plan is responsible for the entire pension obligations payable to the employees.  The pension expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 was US$517,644   12.   OPERATING RISK  (a)   Country risk  Currently, revenues are derived from sale of paper products to customers in the PRC. The results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. The management does not believe these risks to be significant. There can be no assurance, however, those changes in political and other conditions will not result in any adverse impact.  (b)   Credit risk  Financial instruments consist principally of temporary cash investments and accounts receivable.  The Company places its temporary cash investments with various financial institutions in the PRC. The management believes that no significant credit risk exists as these investments are placed principally with financial institutions with fair reputation in the PRC.  The business activities and accounts receivable are principally with customers in the PRC. Management assesses credit risks associated with accounts receivable critically on the basis as set out in note 3 to the financial statements. The management believes that no   F-15     Yantai Dahua Holdings Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements  12.   OPERATING RISK (CONTINUED)  (b)   Credit risk  significant credit risk exists for the balance carried on the balance sheet. No single customer accounted for greater than 10% of total revenue in each year.  The fair values of all of the financial instruments approximate their carrying values.   13.   VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES  In January, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 151(FIN 46).  In December, 2003, the FASB modified FIN 46 to make certain technical corrections and address certain implementation issues that had arisen.  FIN 46 provides a new framework for identifying variable interest entities and determining when a company should include the assets, liabilities, interests and results of activities of a VIE in its consolidated financial statements.  In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, limited-liability corporation, trust, or any other legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets that either (1) has an insufficient amount of equity to carry out its principal activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) has a group of equity owners that are unable to make significant decisions about its activities, or (3) has a group of equity owners that do not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns generated by its operations.  FIN 46 requires a VIE to be consolidated by the party with an ownership, contractual or other financial interest in the VIE (a variable interest holder) that will absorb a majority of the risk of loss from the VIEs activities, is entitled to receive a majority of the VIEs residual returns (if no other variable interests absorb a majority of the VIEs losses), or both.  A variable interest holder that consolidates the VIE is called the primary beneficiary.  Upon consolidation, the primary beneficiary generally must initially record all of the VIEs assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling interests at fair value and subsequently account for the VIE as if it were consolidated based on majority voting interest.  FIN 46 also requires disclosures about VIEs that the variable interest holder is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant variable interest.  FIN 46 was effective immediately for VIEs created after January 31, 2003.  For VIEs created before January 31, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46, as revised, were adopted as of March 31, 2004.    F-16
