On management’s recommendation and in consultation with Baker Tilly Hong Kong Limited (“BTHK”), our independent registered public accounting firm, we concluded on July 15, 2011 that the financial statements of China SHESAYS Cosmetology Inc. (the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and three months period ended March 31, 2011, as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2011 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 16, 2011, (the “2010 Annual and 2011 First Quarter Financial Statements”), should no longer be relied upon due to the accounting issues set forth below.
On July 15, 2011, as a result of the preparation of the responses to comments the Company received from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the SEC’s review of the Company’s Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on May 13, 2011, based on its communications with the Company’s auditor, the Company determined that the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, and the three months period ended March 31, 2011 should no longer be relied upon as a result of certain errors regarding:
(i) pre-operating expenses wrongly recorded as other current assets;
(ii) under-provisions of rental expenses for clinics that had not yet commenced business;
(iii) income tax expense for the above items;
(iv) foreign currency translation gain or loss for the above items; and
(v) an over statement of payments to acquire property and equipment in cash flows from investing activities and increases in other payables and accrued liabilities included in cash flows from operating activities in the statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010.
As of December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 million. We had a working capital deficit of $0.8 million, that is, our current assets were $3.1 million and our current liabilities were $3.9 million as of December 31, 2010. Our net working capital deficit may initially raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. However, we believe that our strong net cash flow from operating activities, cost reduction and delay on capital expenditure will provide sufficient liquidity to finance our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months.
We expect to need approximately $30.5 million to realize our plans for expansion in the next 3 years.

GeoTeam Note: Fourth Quarter 2010 vs. 2009 EPS was $0.04 vs. $0.04.
These results are lower than previously anticipated by the Company's management, largely due to the adverse market sentiment resulting from a high-profile incident in which a famous singer featured in the Super Girl contest in China died from complications related to plastic surgery in a clinic unaffiliated with China SHESAYS.
The 24-year-old singer, Ms. Bei Wang, suffered respiratory and circulatory failure following plastic surgery at a medical cosmetology clinic in Wuhan city of Hunan province in November 2010. As rumors state that the doctors performing the surgery lacked plastic surgery qualifications, the Ministry of Health has initiated an overhaul of the entire medical cosmetology industry in China to weed out unqualified players. Such regulatory reforms may lead to increased market concentration, ultimately benefiting licensed operators.
"We are truly sorry for what happened to Ms. Wang and our thoughts go out to her family. The effects of this unfortunate incident on the general attitudes towards cosmetic procedures may continue to negatively impact our top and bottom lines for the next few quarters," said Yixiang Zhang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China SHESAYS. "However, we anticipate a pick-up in demand in the second half of 2011 after the general public gradually reassesses the risks associated with cosmetic surgery. In addition, as we expect the regulatory overhaul to force a significant number of substandard players out of business, we believe our solid industry position, strong brand image and leading market share may allow us to ultimately benefit from the increased general and regulatory scrutiny that followed this incident. "
"In addition to the negative impact of Ms. Wang's incident, we increased marketing expenses in the fourth quarter to enhance our marketing efforts, which we expect to further improve the brand name and our leading position in Sichuan market. In addition, our three newly opened clinics in the second half of 2010 had negative impact on our bottom line because it usually takes 6-12 months to fully develop a new market. We expect these three new clinics to be profitable in the second quarter of 2011, which will generate incremental revenues and net income. We remain focused on the initiatives which will contribute to our long-term growth and increased profitability, thus enhancing shareholder value," concluded Mr. Zhang.

"We are excited about specifying a timeline for completing our second flagship hospital, which is 5 times size of current flagship hospital, in addition to the three new clinics we opened in other cities in Sichuan province in the second half of 2010. Supported by this significant increase in scale, we expect to further increase our market share and strengthen our leadership in Sichuanprovince.
