TSTC revenue recognition, and a benevolent IRS - only in China.
We recognize our revenue upon the completion of contracts and have made full tax provision in accordance with relevant national and local laws and regulations of the PRC. A contract is considered completed upon completion of all essential contract work and when installation has been accepted by the customer. It is the common practice in the PRC that invoices are not issued to customers until payments are received. We follow the practice of reporting our revenue for PRC tax purposes when invoices are issued. All unbilled revenue will become taxable when invoices are issued. For PRC tax reporting purposes, we recognize revenue on an "invoice basis" instead of when goods are delivered and services are rendered. This is not in strict compliance with the relevant laws and regulations. Accordingly, despite the fact that we have made full tax provision in the financial statements, we may be subject to a penalty for the deferred reporting of tax obligations. The exact amount of any penalty cannot be estimated with any reasonable degree of certainty. The Board of Directors considers it is unlikely that the tax penalty will be imposed.
