BUSINESS
|
·
|
We
start with the respective skills and abilities that children already
have
because the teaching system must consider
adaptability;
|
·
|
We
encourage interaction because the ultimate goal of learning a language
is
to communicate with others;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
We
assist students’ comprehension with the language in various ways through
conversation coordination, for example, interactive games and
activities;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
We
encourage children to participate fully in the learning process through
role-playing games;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
We
foster our students’ abilities to learn independently; our teaching
focuses on guiding and inspiring a child’s self-learning
abilities;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
We
create a relaxed, happy, and supportive learning environment so as
to
encourage children’s learning; and
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
We
use consistent testing and learning methods for
children.

Hosting
the 2008 Olympics has triggered country-wide modernization, investments
in
infrastructure, and policy changes that encourage economic growth
in
China. In particular, the service industry has enjoyed significant
investment and modernization since the announcement of the 2008 Olympics.
Due to industry’s demand for employees with English-language skills, we
believe such modernization and growth will offer broader opportunities
for
private foreign business entities in general and English-language
education providers in particular;
|
·
|
China’s
preparations for the 2008 Olympics have encouraged broad scientific
and
cultural advancements. Such advancements further China’s emphasis on
education and on its children. We believe that this will translate
into an
increased demand for English-language instruction;
|
·
|
Encouraging
multi-lingual abilities and improving the quality of education are
primary
concerns for the PRC government. Consequently, the English-language
instruction industry has seen a relaxation in government regulation
that
will allow us to better realize our potential in
China;
|
·
|
As
a result of joining the World Trade Organization, China is transforming
its education systems to match international standards, including
English-language instruction;
|
·
|
Many
college graduates leave China to continue their academic careers
in
foreign countries where proficiency in the English language is a
necessity;
|
·
|
Many
foreign companies are establishing and have established operations
in
China. The benefits of working for a foreign international company
compared to that of a domestic company motivate parents to ensure
their
children acquire strong English-language skills that will qualify
them for
such employment;
|
·
|
China
has a long-term plan to develop a more international orientation
for its
economy and its government. Such plan requires a larger pool of workers
with English-language skills. In 1996, the then Premier Mr. Zhu Rongi
stated that education is the key to promoting the PRC’s economy. This
fundamental principle evolved into specific policies implemented
by the
PRC in 2001 and 2003. These policies relaxed entry restrictions to
foreign
investment in the education industry and made it easier for foreign
education providers to operate in China. Article Three to the PRC
Private Education Promotion Law
stated that private education organizations are a beneficial and
desirable
attribute to society and should be highly encouraged and supported.
The
Chinese government has recently encouraged development of privately
operated elementary schools and has launched a cooperative program
aimed
at improving Chinese educational systems using foreign knowledge
and
resources. We believe such government policy will greatly expand
the
private elementary school market and create enormous market potential;
and
|
·
|
On
February 1, 2005, the PRC Government implemented the “Special Commercial
Permit Management Regulation” (the “Management Rule”), which superseded
the “Special Commercial Permit Management Regulation”. The Management Rule
promotes predictability for private businesses in China’s mixed economy.
It provides clear guidelines as to market entry requirements, disclosure
mechanisms, and regulations that affect and regulate private businesses.
The adoption of the Management Rule exemplifies the PRC Government’s
determination to support foreign investment in private business;
it
increased transparency and set out clear guidelines that allow us
to
better comply with regulations, which in turn led to better efficiency
and
operational performance. Because China needs foreign resources and
know-how in the English-language education market, it has utilized
its
relaxed regulatory scheme to entice companies like us to enter its
market.

Note
1.
|
In
the fourth quarter of 2005, Mr. Yang loaned $1,050,000 to the Company,
and
third parties, Olympic Well International Ltd. (“Olympic”) and Chen-Chen
Shih (“Shih”), investors introduced to the Company by Mr. Pai, loaned
$690,000 and $60,089, respectively. The loans were treated as short-term
loans, due in three months, with a per annum interest rate of 7%.
A
portion of the loan made by Olympic in the amount of US$342,364 was
assigned to Mr. Pai on or about December 30, 2005. That amount, along
with
$209,211 which was owed Mr. Yang, were forgiven in exchange for the
Company’s forgiveness of Mr. Chiu’s debt to the Company of $551,575
(NT$18,500,000 based on the exchange rate prevailing at the time
of the
loans). Effective December 28, 2006 we entered into a loan settlement
and
conversion agreement with Messrs. Pai and Yang related to settlement
of
the above loans to the Company. Pursuant to the loan settlement and
conversion agreement, the parties agreed to convert a portion of
the loans
to stock at the conversion price $0.15 per share and to issue promissory
notes for the remaining amount. The promissory notes had a term of
one
year and had an annual interest rate of 7%. The amount of residual
promissory notes for Messrs. Pai and Yang were $107,680 and $240,789,
respectively, and as of December 31, 2006, accumulated interest on
the
notes was $2,346 and $4,838, payable for Messrs. Pai and Yang
respectively. For further information, please refer to the Company’s Form
8-K/A filed on January 24, 2007.
|
As
of December 31, 2007, the promissory notes held by Mr. Pai and Mr.
Yang
were fully repaid.
In
July 2007, Mr. Yang loaned $40,713 (RMB300,000) to KCEI. The loan
bears
interest at 6% per annum and is due in March 2008.

Note

|
Amount
due from ex-CFO:
|
|
During
the year ended December 31, 2004, certain improper withdrawals and
subsequent repayments by the Company ’ s then Chief Financial Officer
Yu-En Chiu have been recognized in the Consolidated Statements of
Cash
Flows as short term non-interest bearing advances to Mr. Chiu.
Mr. Chiu made cash repayments and withdrawals to and from the Company
on an intermittent basis during the year. During the year ended December
31, 2004, the highest balance of the advances to Mr. Yu-En Chiu was
$328,546. As of December 31, 2004, Mr. Yu-En Chiu had repaid all
outstanding advances to the Company. However, Mr. Chiu initiated
further
withdrawals on January 13, 2005. During 2005, the total amount of
withdrawals were NT$95,000,000($2,953,337), and as of December 31,
2005,
the highest balance of the deemed loan to Mr. Chiu at any time was
NT$21,660,000 ($673,361). Mr. Chiu has repaid all such withdrawals to
the Company and the amount due from officers was nil. The circumstances
surrounding Mr. Chiu’s fund misappropriation is more fully described
in our June 23, 2006 Form 8-K. (The currency in 8-K’s disclosure have been
translated from New Taiwan Dollars to US dollars based on an exchange
rate
of US$1 = NT$33.42.)
On
June 1, 2006 Mr. Yu-En Chiu resigned as Chief Financial Officer and a
Director of the Company following events that lead to the identification
by current management of these improper cash advances and repayments.
Mr.
Chiu was temporarily reassigned to act as the chairman of the Company’s
PRC operations, and on December 29, 2006, the Company notified Mr.
Chiu
that the termination of his employment with the Company was effective
at
February 28, 2007.
