BASIS
OF PRESENTATION
|
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by management in accordance with both accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally
included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those
rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made
are adequate to make the information not misleading.
In the
opinion of management, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009,
which has been derived from audited financial statements, and these unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring
adjustments considered necessary to state fairly the results for the periods
presented. The results for the period ended September 30, 2010 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year
ending December 31, 2010 or for any future period.
These
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should
be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and the audited
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

NOTE-3

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
|
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application
of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and
elsewhere in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and
notes.
·
|
Use
of estimates
|
In
preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities in the balance sheet and revenues and expenses during the periods
reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
·
|
Basis
of consolidation
|
The
condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of
NFEC and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and
transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon
consolidation.
·
|
Cash
and cash equivalents
|
Cash and
cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits
placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid
investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the
purchase date of such investments.
·
|
Accounts
receivable
|
Accounts
receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, which
are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30 to 90 days from shipment.
Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer's financial condition, the
customer credit-worthiness and their payment history. Accounts receivable
outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due.
Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed
individually for collectibility. At the end of each period, the Company
specifically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit
history, and the current economic conditions to monitor the progress of the
collection of accounts receivables. The Company will consider the allowance
for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of
its customers to make required payments. For the receivables that are past due
or not being paid according to payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken
to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a
court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all
means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is
considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit
exposure related to its customers.

Finance
leases
|
Leases
that transfer substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership to the
lessee, other than legal title, are accounted for as finance leases.
Substantially all of the risks or benefits of ownership are deemed to have been
transferred if any one of the four criteria is met: (i) transfer of ownership to
the lessee at the end of the lease term, (ii) a lease containing a
bargain purchase option, (iii) a lease term exceeding 75% of the
estimated economic life of the leased asset, (iv) the present value of the
minimum lease payments exceeding 90% of the fair value. At the inception of a
finance lease, the Company as the lessee records an asset and an obligation at
an amount equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments. The leased
asset is amortized over the shorter of the lease term or its estimated useful
life if title does not transfer to the Company, while the leased asset is
depreciated in accordance with the Company’s normal depreciation policy if the
title is to eventually transfer to the Company. The periodic rent payments made
during the lease term are allocated between a reduction in the obligation and
interest element using the effective interest method in accordance with the
provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 835-30, “Imputation of
Interest”.

Assets”, all long-lived assets such as plant and equipment held and used
by the Company and construction in progress are reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is
evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of assets to estimated
discounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets
are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by
the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of
the assets. There has been no impairment as of September 30, 2010.

(a)
|
Sale
of products
|
The
Company derives a majority of its revenues from the sale of energy saving flow
control equipment. Generally, these products are manufactured and configured to
customer requirements. The Company typically produces and builds the energy
saving flow control equipment for customers in a period from 1 to 6 months. When
the Company completes the production in accordance with the customer’s
specification, the customer is required to inspect the finished products for
quality and product conditions, to its full satisfaction, at the Company’s
plant. Once the product is accepted by the customer, the Company usually makes
delivery to the customer within a month.
The
Company recognizes revenue from the sale of such finished products upon delivery
to the customer, whereas the title and risk of loss are fully transferred to the
customers. The Company records its revenues, net of value added taxes (“VAT”).
The Company is subject to VAT which is levied on the majority of the products at
the rate of 17% on the invoiced value of sales. The Company experienced no
product returns and recorded no reserve for sales returns for the nine months
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Service
revenue is primarily derived from energy-saving technical services or project
management or sub-contracting services that are not an element of an arrangement
for the sale of products. These services are generally billed on a time-cost

In
February 2010, NFEC, through its subsidiary Nengfa Energy, entered into a
cooperative arrangement with a biomass energy technology company in the PRC
(“Fuxin”) for the development of energy-related systems and facilities and the
provision of an economic energy saving solution to the farmers in Laoning
Province, the PRC, for a term of 1 year. Under this project arrangement, Nengfa
Energy agreed to design, build and provide the energy-related equipment and
components, as well as provide training to Fuxin to operate these energy-related
facilities. Fuxin agreed to operate the administration of this arrangement and
provide on-site training to the farmers to operate these facilities. In
consideration for this cooperative arrangement, both parties agreed to equally
share in the sales of energy-related systems during the term of the project, in
accordance with the agreed energy-saving milestone requirement. At the end of
the project term, Nengfa agreed to transfer its ownership and proprietary rights
to the energy-related system and facility to Fuxin.
Under
this cooperative arrangement, Nengfa Energy is entitled to total project income
of approximately $750,314 from the joint energy-saving project with total
project cost of approximately $618,000 over the term of the project. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2010, Nengfa Energy recognized project revenue
of $752,333 in the statement of operations under the installment

income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined
includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources.
Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying

unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive
income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or

Income
taxes
|
Income
taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”).
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
date.
ASC 740
prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure,
present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions
taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must
initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than
not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such
tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount
of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon
ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the
position and relevant facts.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not have any
interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of September 30, 2010,
the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax
positions.
The
Company conducts the majority of its businesses in the PRC and is subject to tax
in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files
tax returns that are subject to examination by a foreign tax authority. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company filed and cleared a 2009 PRC
tax return with its tax authority.

Under the
terms of the contracts, the Company offers its customers with a free product
warranty on a case-by-case basis, depending upon the type of customers, nature
and size of the infrastructure projects. Under such arrangements, a portion of
the project contract balance (usually 5-10% of contract value) is withheld by a
customer from 12 to 24 months, until the product warranty has expired. The
Company has not experienced any material returns or claims where it was under
obligation to honor this standard warranty provision. As such, no reserve for
product warranty has been provided in the result of operations for the nine

The
Company adopts ASC Topic 718, "Stock Compensation", ("ASC 718") using the fair
value method. Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation is measured using the
Black-Scholes Option-Pricing model on the date of grant.
For
non-employee stock based compensation, the Company adopts ASC Topic
505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to
Non-Employees”, stock based compensation related to non-employees is
accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the
fair value of the services on the grant date, whichever is more readily
determinable in accordance with ASC 718.
·
|
Net
income per share
|
The
Company calculates net income per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic
income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share
is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is
increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been
outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the
additional common shares were dilutive.

Transactions
denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into
the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other
than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using
the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange
differences are recorded in the statement of operations.
The
reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar ("US$"). The
Company's subsidiaries in the PRC maintain their books and records in
their local currency, the Renminbi Yuan ("RMB"), which is the functional
currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which
these entities operate.
In
general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries
whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance
with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial
Statement”, using the exchange rate on
the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates
prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of
financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate
component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of
stockholders’ equity.

Fair
value measurement
|
ASC Topic
820, “Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures” ("ASC 820"), establishes a new framework for measuring
fair value and expands related disclosures. Broadly, ASC 820 framework requires
fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received
for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or
most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants. ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation
hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs. These tiers
include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active
markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets
that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as
unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore
requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
For
financial assets and liabilities, fair value is the price the Company would
receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. In the absence of
active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements
involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the
absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market
participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the
measurement date.
·
|
Financial
instruments
|
Cash and
cash equivalents, accounts and retention receivable, prepayments and other
receivable, accounts payable, customer deposits, income tax payable, other
payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost which approximates fair
value. The estimated fair value of the Company’s convertible promissory
note and its obligations under a finance lease was approximately $1.2
million as of September 30, 2010, based on current market prices or interest
rates. Any changes in fair value of assets or liabilities carried at fair value
are recognized in other comprehensive income for each period.

In April
2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718):
Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the
Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trade “.
ASU 2010-13 provides guidance on the classification of a share-based payment
award as either equity or a liability. A share-based payment that contains a
condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition is required to
be classified as a liability. ASU 2010-13 is effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15,
2010 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
In July
2010, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to require further
disaggregated disclosures that improve financial statement users’ understanding
of (1) the nature of an entity’s credit risk associated with its financing
receivables and (2) the entity’s assessment of that risk in estimating its
allowance for credit losses as well as changes in the allowance and the reasons
for those changes. This update will be effective for the Company in the second
quarter of fiscal 2011, except for the disclosures relating to activity that
occurred during a reporting period which is effective for the Company
in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Since this update addresses only
disclosures related to credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance
for credit losses, it is not expected that the adoption of this update will have
a material impact on the Company’s financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Notes
while outstanding had an effective interest at the rate of 6% per annum, and
absent an “event of default,” are payable in shares of the Company’s Common
Stock. Provided there is no “event of default,” the Notes convert upon the
earlier to occur of (i) the commencement of trading of the Company’s Common
Stock on a major US stock exchange, or (ii) one year after issuance. Upon
conversion, the holders of the Notes shall receive such number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the then-outstanding
principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes by (b) the
then-current conversion price, which currently is $7.50 per share (post 2.5-to-1
reverse stock split). The conversion price is subject to adjustment for stock
dividends, splits, combinations and similar events. The Notes while outstanding
are secured by a security interest in and lien upon all of the Company’s
assets.
The
Warrants, which are currently exercisable for shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $10 per share (post 2.5-to-1 reverse stock split), were not
exercisable until three months after issuance and will terminate five years
thereafter. The exercise price is subject to adjustment for stock dividends,
splits, combinations and similar events. The warrants also contain an exercise
price ratchet adjustment in the event the Company issues warrants having an
exercise price at less than the exercise price then in effect for the Warrants.
The Company has agreed to provide the investors with “piggy-back” registration
rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Notes and exercise of the Warrants.
The
Company engaged an independent valuer to perform the valuation of the Notes and
the Company determined that for the Notes to be recorded in accordance with ASC
Topic 470-20, “Debt with
conversion and other options”, the warrants and related convertible notes
should be accounted for as two separate instruments (equity and debt
instruments). The accounting for these instruments reflects the notion that the
consideration received upon issuance must be allocated between equity and debt
components. Proceeds from the sale of a debt instrument with stock purchase
warrants are allocated to the two elements, based on the relative fair values of
the debt instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at time
of issuance. The portion of the proceeds allocated to the warrants is accounted
for as paid-in capital. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the debt
instrument portion of the transaction as debt discount.

amounting to $2,579,891, with $254,944 of accounts payable.
(c)
|
Credit
risk
|
Financial
instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of
trade receivables. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its
trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation
process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally
require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an
allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk
of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
(d)
|
Interest
rate risk
|
As the
Company has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Company’s income and
operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest
rates.
The
Company’s interest-rate risk arises from borrowings under promissory notes and
finance leases. The Company manages interest rate risk by varying the issuance
and maturity dates variable rate debt, limiting the amount of variable rate
debt, and continually monitoring the effects of market changes in interest
rates. As of September 30, 2010, borrowings under promissory notes and finance
leases were at fixed rates.
(e)
|
Exchange
rate risk
|
The
reporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues
and costs are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the assets and
liabilities are denominated in RMB. As a result, the Company is exposed to
foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected
by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and RMB. If RMB depreciates
against US$, the value of RMB revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial
statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other
financial instruments that expose to substantial market risk.
(f)
|
Economic
and political risks
|
The
Company's operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the
political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state
of the PRC economy.

(Unaudited)
The
Company's operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and
significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and
Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the
political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The
Company's 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, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.

COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES
|
(a)
|
Operating
lease commitments
|
The
Company is committed under a non-cancelable operating lease with fixed monthly
rentals, due through February 9, 2011. Costs incurred under the operating lease,
which are considered to equivalent to the market rate, are recorded as rental
expense and totaled approximately $34,842 and $36,536 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
As of
September 30, 2010, the future minimum rental payments due under this
non-cancelable operating lease in the next twelve months is
$15,241.
(b)
|
Capital
commitments
|
As of
September 30, 2010, the Company is committed to the future contingent payments
of approximately $1.09 million on the purchase of new plant and equipment and
third party contractors relating to its construction project in the next twelve
months.
(c)
|
Unused
credit facility
|
The
Company obtained a credit facility with the available outstanding balance of
$5.88 million (equivalent to RMB40 million), with a term of 2 years, and expires
on June 28, 2012. Advances under this credit facility are unsecured and bear
interest at a rate of 1.3 times the Bank of China Benchmark Lending Rate,
payable monthly. There were no borrowings under the revolving lines of credit as
of September 30, 2010.

Litigation
|
On May
21, 2007, a civil complaint Robert Dawley vs NF Energy Saving Corp., et al. was
filed in the United States District Court, Middle District of Florida, Orlando,
Civil No. 6:07-cv-872-Orl-18DAB. The complaint accuses the defendants of
breaching a contract for payment of money that was signed by Sam Winer, former
Chief Executive Officer, before the commencement of the Company’s reverse merger
with the current subsidiary. After being initially dismissed by the Court, the
action was authorized to proceed on November 16, 2007. The trial was held in the
United States District Court, Middle District of Florida, Orlando on October 16,
2008. The District Court issued a Judgment on December 11, 2008 awarding the
plaintiff the sum of $400,000 against the company, plus prejudgment interest in
the amount of $132,822, with continuing interest of $132 per day on the $400,000
obligation until it is paid. The Court further adjudged that the plaintiff shall
surrender his stock upon payment of the $400,000. In the event the plaintiff
fails to surrender his stock after payment, the Company may cancel the stock.
Any payments or collection under the Judgment shall be credited first to
interest.
On
January 6, 2009, the Company filed a notice of appeal 09-10140-B in the United
States of Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit from the District Court’s
judgment. The Company has engaged an attorney to prosecute its appeal of the
above judgment. The Company has also accrued $200,000 for this contingent
liability to the statement of operation in fiscal year 2008. The parties have
completed briefing the appeal and are waiting for the court’s decision on the
appeal. In addition, the Company’s directors, Mr. Gang Li and Ms. Li Hua Wang
have personally agreed to guarantee and bear all contingent liabilities and
costs to be incurred from this litigation claim.

(Unaudited)
On April
1, 2010, the Eleventh Circuit issued a unanimous opinion reversing the District
Court’s Judgment on the grounds that Dawley was not entitled to the relief that
he sought and that the law did not support the District Court’s Judgment against
NF Energy. The Eleventh Circuit, to the contrary, entered Judgment in NF
Energy’s favor. NF Energy has filed a Bill of Costs seeking an award of its
costs on appeal, which total less than $1,000, from Dawley.
The
original action by Robert Dawley against NF Energy Saving Corp of American and
Gang Li was terminated by the entry of Judgment against Mr. Dawley by the United
States Court of Appeal for the Eleventh Circuit on April 1, 2010. Subsequently,
the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, acting upon
instructions from the Court of Appeal, entered a Bill of Costs against Robert
Dawley on June 24, 2010, totaling $2,088.
Mr.
Dawley has orally advised the Company that he has filed a Petition for Writ of
Certiorari of the Eleventh Circuit’s Opinion and Judgment with the Supreme Court
of the United States. However, to date, the Company has received no indication
that the Supreme Court has accepted any filings by Mr. Dawley or has scheduled
any response to his Petition. The Company therefore has not taken any action
with respect to any such Petition.
On or
about July 1, 2010, Mr. Dawley apparently commenced a second action before the
United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, entitled Robert
Dawley v. NF Energy Corp. of America, et al. In addition to the Company, Mr.
Dawley has named as defendants Mr. Gang Li and this counsel. Mr. Dawley asserts,
among other things, that defendants committed fraud with respect to the same
agreements as were the subject of the prior action. He also complains that he is
entitled to have a restrictive legend removed from certain stock certificates
that the predecessor company had issued to him in exchange for an additional
capital contribution.
The
Company believes that the second action by Mr. Dawley has no merit, is barred by
the judgment entered by the Court of Appeals in the prior action and, in any
event, fails to state fraud claims with the specificity required by law. Mr.
Dawley has refused to withdraw the complaint, and the Company has filed motions
with the Court asking it to strike the complaint and issue monetary sanctions
against Mr. Dawley equivalent to the amount of the Company’s attorneys’ fees and
costs incurred as a result of the second action. The motions currently are
pending before the Court.
Though
the Company believes that its contemplated motion has merit, the Company cannot
predict with certainty that the Court will agree. Accordingly, the Company does
not express any opinion as to the likelihood of its motion’s success. In the
event that the Court does deny the motion, it is the Company’s intent to
continue its efforts to prevail against Mr. Dawley on behalf of all the named
defendants to the second action.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
GENERAL
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
As used
herein the terms "we", "us", "our," the “Registrant,” “NFEC” and the "Company"
means, NF Energy Saving Corporation, a Delaware corporation, formerly known as
NF Energy Saving Corporation of America, Diagnostic Corporation of America,
Global Broadcast Group, Inc., and Galli Process, Inc. These terms also refer to
our subsidiary corporations, Liaoning Nengfa Weiye Energy Technology Corporation
Ltd. (“Nengfa Energy”), formerly known as Liaoning Nengfa Weiye Pipe Network
Construction and Operation Co. Ltd., a corporation organized and existing under
the laws of the Peoples’ Republic of China, which was acquired in November 2006,
and Liaoning Nengfa Weiye Tie Fa Sales Co., Ltd. (“Sales Company”), a limited
liability corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Peoples’
Republic of China, which was established in September 2007.
NF Energy
Saving Corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in
the name of Galli Process, Inc. on October 31, 2000 for the purpose of
seeking and consummating a merger or acquisition with a business entity
organized as a private corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship. On
December 31, 2001, Galli Process, Inc. became a majority owned subsidiary
of City View TV, Inc., a Florida corporation (“City View”). On February 7, 2002,
Galli Process, Inc. changed its name to Global Broadcast Group, Inc. On
March 1, 2002, City View merged into Global Broadcast Group, Inc., which
was the surviving entity. On November 12, 2004, the Company changed its
name to Diagnostic Corporation of America. On March 15, 2007, we changed our
name to NF Energy Saving Corporation of America, and on August 24, 2009, the
Company further changed its name to NF Energy Saving Corporation, in both
instances to more accurately reflect our business after a stock exchange
transaction with Nengfa Energy. Our principal place of business is Room 3105, Block C, 390 Qingnian Avenue, Heping
District,
Shenyang, P. R. China 110003. Our telephone number is (8624)
8563-1159.
On
November 15, 2006, we executed a Plan of Exchange ("Plan of Exchange"), among
the Company, Nengfa Energy, the shareholders of Nengfa Energy (the "Neng Fa
Shareholders") and Gang Li, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer ("Mr.
Li").
Pursuant
to and at the closing of the Plan of Exchange, which occurred on November 30,
2006, we issued to the Neng Fa Shareholders 12,000,000 shares of our common
stock, or 89.4% of our then outstanding common stock, in exchange for all of the
shares of capital stock of Nengfa Energy owned by the Neng Fa Shareholders.
Immediately upon the closing, Nengfa Energy became our 100% owned subsidiary,
and the Company ceased all of its other operations and adopted and implemented
the business plan of Nengfa Energy.
Nengfa
Energy’s area of business includes research and development, processing,
manufacturing, marketing and distribution of energy saving flow control
equipment; manufacturing, marketing and distribution of energy equipment,

Revenue
recognition
In
accordance with the ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, the Company recognizes
revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, transfer of title has
occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or
determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
- 4
-
The
Company’s revenue is principally derived from three primary sources: Sales of
energy saving flow control equipment, provision of energy project management and
sub-contracting services, and provision of energy-saving reconstruction
projects.
(a) Sale
of products
The
Company derives a majority of its revenues from the sale of energy saving flow
control equipment. Generally, the energy saving flow control equipment is
manufactured and configured to customer requirements. The Company typically
produces the energy saving flow control equipment for customers during a period
from one to six months. When the Company completes production in accordance with
the customer’s specification, the customer is required to inspect the finished
products at the Company’s plant to approve quality and conformity and final
acceptance. Once the product is accepted by the customer, the Company undertakes
delivery to the customer, usually within a month.
The
Company recognizes revenue from the sale of such finished products upon delivery
to the customers, when the title and risk of loss are fully transferred to the
customers. The Company records its revenues, net of value added taxes (“VAT”).
The Company is subject to VAT which is levied on the majority of the products it
sells at the rate of 17% on the invoiced value. The Company experienced no
product returns and has recorded no reserve for returns for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
(b)
Service revenue
Service
revenue is derived from energy-saving technical services, project management or
sub-contracting services that are not an element of the arrangement for the sale
of products. These services are generally billed on a time-cost plus basis, for
the period of service provided, which is generally from two to three
months.
Revenue
is recognized, net of business taxes, when the service is rendered and accepted
by the customer.
(c)
Project revenue
In
February 2010, NFEC, through its subsidiary Nengfa Energy, entered into a
cooperative arrangement with a biomass energy technology company in the PRC
(“Fuxin”) for the development of energy-related systems and facilities and the
provision of an economic energy saving solution to the farmers in Laoning
Province, the PRC, for a term of 1 year. Under this project arrangement, Nengfa
Energy agreed to design, build and provide the energy-related equipments and
components, as well as provide training to Fuxin to operate these energy-related
facilities. Fuxin agreed to operate the administration of this arrangement and
provide on-site training to the farmers to operate these facilities. In
consideration for this cooperative arrangement, both parties agreed to equally
share in the sales of energy-related systems during the term of the project, in
accordance with the agreed energy-saving milestone requirement. At the end of
the project term, Nengfa Energy agreed to transfer its ownership and proprietary
right of the energy-related system and facility to Fuxin.
(d)
Interest income
Interest
income is recognized on a time apportionment basis, taking into account the
principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.
Accounts
receivable
Accounts
receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not bear interest and are due
within the contractual payment terms, generally 30 to 90 days from shipment.
Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer's financial condition, the
customer’s credit-worthiness and their payment history. Accounts receivable
outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due.
Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed
individually for collectability. At the end of each period, the Company
specifically evaluates each individual customer’s financial condition, credit
history, and the current economic conditions to monitor the progress of the
collection of accounts receivable. The Company will consider an allowance for
doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of its
customers to make required payments. For the receivables that are past due or
not being paid according to payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to
exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court
of law.

Projects
|
|
Payments based on the achievement of certain milestones to be made over the term of the project. |
In
general, accounts receivable with aging within 90 days, between 91 and 180 days,
and between 181 and 360 days represent approximately 30-40%, 50-60%, and 5%-15%,
respectively, of the total accounts receivable. The Company is highly aware the
risk of default, and as a result, we actively monitor accounts receivable with
aging above 1 year and accounting for at least 1% of the total accounts
receivable.
For most
of our contracts, our customers are generally large or stated-owned construction
contractors or developers mainly engaged in government-sponsored infrastructure
projects such as large hydraulic/aqua-engineering projects, power plants and
urban sewage network projects in the PRC. Usually, these infrastructure projects
are undertaken in a number of phrases over a certain period of time. Our flow
control equipment components are generally considered as major or significant
components in the development phase of these infrastructure projects. In our
industry practice, we are paid by these construction contractors and/or
developers when they have been paid by the local government or state-owned
enterprises after the full inspection of each milestone during the construction
phrase. Given that the construction of these infrastructure projects are very
large in size and complex and require a high quality level in completion, the
inspection process may take a considerable amount of time. Therefore, we may not
collect the accounts receivable on a timely manner or only after a period longer
than our agreed payment terms.
We have a
high level of assurance on the recoverability of these accounts receivable,
based on our ongoing assessment of the customer’s credit-worthiness and their
payment history. These customers are usually large state-owned corporations with
good credit ratings. At the end of each period, we specifically evaluate the
structure and collectability of accounts receivable and for receivables that are
past due or not being paid according to the payment terms, we take appropriate
action to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in
a court of law. For customers with a large accounts receivable balance, we may
take other steps, such as limiting sales and changing payment terms and
requesting forms of security. We will consider an adjustment to the allowance
for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of
our customers to make required payments.
Account
balances are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after all
means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is
considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit
exposure related to its customers.
Product
warranty
Under the
terms of the contracts, the Company offers its customers with a free product
warranty on a case-by-case basis, depending upon the type of customers, nature
and size of the infrastructure projects. Under such arrangements, a portion of
the project contract balance (usually 5-10% of contract value) is withheld by a
customer from 12 to 24 months, until the product warranty has expired. The
Company did not experience any material returns or claims where it was
obligated to honor this standard warranty provision.
- 6
-
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value), with the cost
being determined on a weighted average method. Costs include material, labor and
manufacturing overhead costs. Quarterly, the Company reviews historical sales
activity to determine excess, slow moving items and potentially obsolete items
and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand. The
Company provides inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories
determined principally by customer demand.
Plant and
equipment, net
Plant and
equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis
over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become
fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual
values:
Depreciable life
|
Residual value

Plant
and machinery
|
1 –
20 years
|
5 | % | |||
Furniture,
fixture and equipment
|

|
5 | % |
Expenditure
for repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. When assets have been
retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from
the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of
operations.
Finance
leases
Leases
that transfer substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership to the
lessee, other than legal title, are accounted for as finance leases.
Substantially all of the risks or benefits of ownership are deemed to have been
transferred if any one of the four criteria is met: (i) transfer of ownership to
the lessee at the end of the lease term, (ii) the lease containing a bargain
purchase option, (iii) the lease term exceeding 75% of the estimated economic
life of the leased asset, and (iv) the present value of the minimum lease
payments exceeding 90% of the fair value. At the inception of a finance lease,
the Company as the lessee records an asset and an obligation at an amount equal
to the present value of the minimum lease payments. The leased asset is
amortized over the shorter of the lease term or its estimated useful life if
title does not transfer to the Company, while the leased asset is depreciated in
accordance with the Company’s normal depreciation policy if the title is to
eventually transfer to the Company. The periodic lease payments made during the
lease term are allocated between a reduction in the obligation and interest
element using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Subtopic 835-30, “Imputation of
Interest”.
Stock-based
compensation
The
Company adopts ASC Topic 718, "Stock Compensation", ("ASC
718") using the fair value method. Under ASC Topic 718, the stock-based
compensation is measured using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing model on the
date of grant.
For
non-employee stock-based compensation, the Company adopts ASC Subtopic 505-50,
“Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Stock-based compensation related to
non-employees is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or
options or the fair value of the services on the grant date, whichever is more
readily determinable in accordance with ASC 718.
In
accordance with ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with conversion and other
options”, the warrants and related convertible notes should be accounted
for as two separate instruments (equity and debt instruments). The accounting
for these instruments reflects the notion that the consideration received upon
issuance must be allocated between equity and debt components. Proceeds from the
sale of a debt instrument with stock purchase warrants are allocated to the two
elements, based on the relative fair values of the debt instruments without the
warrants themselves at time of issuance. The portion of the proceeds allocated
to the warrants is accounted for as paid-in capital. The remainder of the
proceeds is allocated to the debt instruments portion of the transaction This
usually results in a discount, which is to be amortized over the period of debt
using the interest method.

-
Income
Taxes
The
Company adopts ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” regarding
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes which prescribes the recognition
threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement recognition and
measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. In
addition, the guidance requires the determination of whether the benefits of tax
positions will be more likely than not sustained upon an audit based upon the
technical merits of the tax position. For tax positions that are determined to
be more likely sustainable than not upon audit, the Company recognizes the
largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon
ultimate settlement in the financial statements. For tax positions that are not
determined to be more likely sustainable than not upon audit, the Company does
not recognize any portion of the benefit in the financial statements. The
guidance provides for de-recognition, classification, penalties and interest,
accounting in interim periods and disclosure.
Foreign currencies
translation
Transactions
denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into
the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other
than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using
the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange
differences are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of
operations.
The
reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar ("US$"). The
Company's subsidiaries in the PRC, Nengfa Energy and Sales Company maintain
their books and records in the local currency of the PRC, Renminbi ("RMB"),
which is the primary currency of the economic environment in which these
entities operate.
In
general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries
whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance
with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on
the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates
prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of
financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate
component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of
stockholders’ equity.

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
FOR
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND 2009
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
included in this report and is qualified in its entirety by the
foregoing.
REVENUES
Total
revenues were $8,045,358 and $18,103,810 for the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $7,566,421 and
$15,204,957 for the corresponding period in 2009. Total revenues increased by
$478,937 and $2,898,853, a 6.3% and 19.1% increase, for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to total revenues for
the corresponding period in 2009. The increase was due to a significant increase
in service revenue.
2010 is
the last year of the "Eleventh Five-Year" emission reduction targets. It is also
the first year for China to put forward its 40-45% emission reduction target,
which is a point of emphasis for the Chinese government. Mr. Zhang
Shaochun, the Vice Minister of Finance for the central government, has stated
that the special funding for the energy-saving emission reduction industry will
be up to 500 billion RMB, 70% more than the prior year. The government intends
to promote large-scaled energy-saving and efficiency products and will support
key energy-saving emission reduction projects.
- 8
-
In a 2010
government report from the office of the Chinese Premier, Wen Jiabao, it was
stated that: "We shall put greater efforts on development of low-carbon
technologies, promotion of efficient energy-saving technologies, and actively
develop new energy and renewable energy…." The report further stated
that the country "…should attempt to engage in construction characterized by
industrial carbon emissions system and consumption patterns.” This indicates
that in 2010 and thereafter low carbon initiatives "…will become a new impetus
and engine for economic development, and it will become a new weathervane for
construction of leading industrial systems and consumption
patterns.”
The
Ministry of Finance is increasing investment in the development of a low-carbon
economy. The government see promotion of energy-efficiency resulting in economic
benefits and promoting growth in higher value technologies and industries.
Therefore the expectation is that government support for energy saving projects
will be widespread and touch on many aspects of the economy, including geo-water
sources, energy management contracts, efficient motors and other energy-saving
elements in the industry. This will promote the development of energy
efficiency, industrial energy efficiency and energy-efficient power transmission
and distribution.
On April
6, 2010, the State Council of China approved the “Opinion on Accelerating the
Implementation of Energy Management Contract to Promote the Development of
Energy Service Industry,” (“the Opinion”) which was proposed by the
National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, People’s
Bank of China and the State Taxation Administration. A series of new tax
benefits will stimulate China’s domestic energy conservation projects and
services development. NF Energy will further develop its energy conservation
projects by using “Energy Management Contract” (“EMC”) and “Energy Performance
Certificate” models.
On June
3, 2010, the Ministry of Finance of the Peoples’ Republic of China and the
National Development and Reform Commission jointly released a notice policy
“Interim measurements to manage financial incentive funding on Energy Management
Contract”. The policy states that the Ministry of Finance will reward the energy
conservation companies who process industrial energy conservation projects by
using the EMC model and sharing the energy efficiency benefit, with an annual
energy saved between 500 tons of standard coal and 1,000 tons of standard coal.
The reward standard is 240 RMB per ton of standard coal saved. The policies
should stimulate the willingness of industrial companies to undertake energy
conservation projects, and should greatly benefit Nengfa Energy’s energy saving
business which fits within the government stimulus policies for building energy
saving infrastructure projects for municipalities and industrial companies. We
expect significant growth in all our lines of business in 2010.
The
Company plans to restructure its business mix during 2010. The Company expects
increasing revenue from higher margin energy conservation projects and services
as this segment grows to 30% of total revenues by 2010 from 15% of revenues in
2009, while having steady revenue growth from the sale of our products. Due to
market demand, we expect to increase delivery of our flow control equipment in
fourth quarter of 2010, the increase of project revenue has shown that the
restructuring of its business mix is proceeding as planned.
Product
Revenues
Product
revenues are derived principally from the sale of self-manufactured products
relating to energy-saving flow control equipment and new energy related
equipment. Product revenues were $3,680,336 and $9,845,180, or 45.7% and 54.4%
of total revenues, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010,
respectively, as compared to $6,697,102 and $13,426,663, or 88.5% and 88.3% of
total revenues, for the corresponding three and nine month periods in 2009,
respectively. Product revenues decreased by $3,016,766 and $3,581,483, a 45% and
26.7% decrease, over the corresponding three and nine month periods in 2009,
respectively. This decrease is primarily due to the Company moving part
of its manufacturing equipment from its current manufacturing
facility to the new facility as planned. During the moving process, in order to
limit negative effects on its manufacturing capability, the Company
sub-contracted some components of its flow control equipment to third parties,
and then assembled the whole system by itself. This manufacture process took
longer for the sub-contractors to complete their orders, and resulted in a delay
of some of our products’ delivery. The outlook of the Company’s annual
revenue follows an upward trend.

Service
Revenues
Service
revenues are derived principally from energy-saving technical services and
product collaboration processing services. The energy-saving technical services
include providing energy saving auditing, conservation plan, and/or related
service reports. These services are generally billed on a time-cost plus basis.
Revenue is recognized, net of business taxes, when service is rendered and
accepted by the customers. Service revenues were $3,987,846 and $7,506,297, or
49.6% and 41.5%, of total revenues, for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $869,319 and $1,778,294, or
11.5% and 11.7% of total revenues, for the corresponding three and nine month
periods in 2009, respectively,. Service revenues increased by $3,118,527 and
$5,728,003, a 358.7% and 322.1% increase, over the corresponding three and nine
month periods in 2009, respectively,. This increase is primarily due to the
increase in service contracts. In particular, the Company signed out-sourcing
service contracts for making steel structured welding mechanical parts in the
amount of RMB 32.5million (approximately $4,8 million). These contracts are part
of the Shenyang underground construction project. In addition, the Company
completed energy-saving retrofitting and technical services for two
energy-saving projects. In one project, the Company provided retrofitting
services to an Indonesia Sugar Refinery on its dehydration and drying process.
During this period, we recognized RMB 1million (approximately $149,000) as
service revenue for this project. In the other project, the Company provided
energy retrofitting technical services for a Shenyang hospital, and recognized
RMB 8 million (approximately $1.2 million) as service revenue for such
project.
Project
Revenues
Project
revenues are derived principally from energy-saving, re-engineering projects
that require significant modification, customization and installation. Project
revenues were $377,176 and $752,333, or 4.7% and 4.2% of the total revenues, for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, For the same
period ended in 2009, there was no project revenue. The Company has been
continuously trying to develop energy-saving projects; actively developing
energy conservation and energy saving projects and restructuring the Company’s
business mix. In February 2010, NFEC, through its subsidiary Nengfa Energy,
entered into a cooperative arrangement with a Fuxin Biological Energy
Development Company (“Fuxin”) for the development to energy-related systems and
facilities and the provision of an economic energy saving solutions to the
farmers in LaoNing Province, the PRC for a term of 1 year.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2010, Nengfa Energy recognized $752,333 as
project revenue from this cooperative arrangement in the statement of operation
under the installment method.
COSTS
AND EXPENSES
Cost
of Revenues
Cost of
revenues consists primarily of material costs, direct labor, depreciation and
manufacturing overhead, which are directly attributable to the manufacture of
products and the rendering of services. Total cost of revenues was $5,195,957
and $12,551,714 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010,
respectively, as compared to $4,848,371 and $10,282,666 for the corresponding
three and nine month periods in 2009, an increase of $347,586 and $2,269,048, or
approximately 7.2% and 22.1%, respectively. This increase was primarily due to
the increase services provided and projects commenced during this
period.
The
overall gross profit for the Company was $2,849,401 (35.4% margin) and
$5,552,096 (30.7% margin) for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2010, respectively, as compared to $2,718,050 (35.9% margin) and $4,922,291
(32.4% margin) for the corresponding three and nine month periods in 2009, a
increase of $131,351 and $629,805, respectively. There is no significant change
for the overall gross margin of the Company in this period. Due to the revenue
structure of the Company being changed, each gross margin of the revenue
segments were changed accordingly.
Cost
of Products
Total
cost of products was $2,569,018 and $6,833,561 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $4,200,439 and $9,016,453
for the corresponding three and nine month periods in 2009, a decrease of
$1,631,421 and $2,183,892, or approximately 38.8% and 24.2%, respectively. This
decrease is primarily due to the Company moving part of its manufacturing
equipment from its current manufacturing current facility to the new facility,
which delayed the delivery of some of its products.

The gross
profit for products was $1,111,318 (30.2% margin and 39.0% of total gross
profit) and $3,011,619 (30.6% margin and 54.2% of total gross profit ) for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to,
$2,496,663 (37.3% margin and 91.9% of total gross profit) and $4,410,210 (32.8%
margin and 89.6% of total gross profit) for the corresponding three and nine
month periods in 2009, a decrease of $1,385,345 and $1,398,591, or approximately
55.5% and 31.7%, respectively. This decrease is primarily due to the Company
moving part of its manufacturing equipment from its current manufacturing
facility to the new one, which caused a delay in the delivery of some of its
products.
Cost
of Services
The cost
of services was $2,318,911 and $5,103,747 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $647,932 and $1,266,213 for the
corresponding three and nine month periods in 2009, an increase of $1,670,979
and $3,837,534, or approximately 257.9% and 303.1%, respectively,. This increase
is primarily due to the increase of out-sourcing service
contracts..
The gross
profit for services was $1,668,935 (41.9% margin and 58.6% of the total gross
profit) and $2,402,550 (32% margin and 43.3% of the total gross profit) for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to
$221,387 (25.5% margin and 8.1% of total gross profit) and $512,081 (28.8%
margin and 10.4% of total gross profit) for the corresponding three and nine
month periods in 2009, an increase of $1,447,548 and $1,890,469, or
approximately 653.9% and 369.2%, respectively. This increase is primarily due to
increase of service contracts in this period.
Cost
of Projects
In 2007,
the Company began contracting for energy-saving re-engineering projects that
require significant modification, customization and/or complex installation. The
cost of projects was $308,028 and $614,406 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2010, respectively. There was no project implemented in the same
period accordingly in 2009. Therefore the cost was zero.
The gross
profit for projects was $69,148 (18.3% margin and 2.4% of total gross margin)
and $137,927 (18.3% margin and 2.5% of total gross margin) for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. This increase is primarily
due to an increase in project revenue. The Company continuously develops other
energy-saving projects, to ensure a steady growth in project
revenue.
Operating
Expenses
Total
operating expenses were $316,758 and $702,920 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $225,995 and $988,694 for
the corresponding three month and nine month periods in 2009, an increase of
$90,763 and a decrease of $285,774, or approximately an increase of 40.2% and
decrease of 28.9%, respectively. The increase for the three month period is
primarily due to the increased general and administration fees such as legal
fees and listing fees to Nasdaq. The decrease for nine months period is
primarily due to there being no stock based compensation incurred during this
period, and relatively lower sales and marketing expenses.
Selling
and Marketing Expenses
Sales and
marketing expenses were $25,786 and $58,438 for the three and nine month ended
September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $32,040 and $106,493 for the
corresponding three and nine month periods in 2009, a decrease of $6,254 and
$48,055, or approximately 19.5% and 45.1%, respectively. This decrease is
primarily due to the revenue structure of the Company being changed and
management’s implementation of improved the cost control measures.
General
and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses were $290,972 and $644,482 for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $193,955 and
$533,201 for the corresponding three and nine month periods in 2009, an increase
of $97,017 and $111,281, or approximately 50.0% and 20.9%, respectively. The
reason of this increase was mainly due to the Nasdaq listing fees amounting to
$95,000 and other legal fees.

INCOME
FROM OPERATIONS
Income
from operations was $2,532,643 and $4,849,176, for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $2,492,055 and
$3,933,597 for the corresponding three and nine month periods in 2009, an
increase of $40,588 and $915,579, respectively.
Other
(expense) Income
Other
expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $152,176 and
$386,362, respectively , as compared to other income of $1,497 and $54,276 for
the corresponding three and nine month periods in 2009, an absolute difference
of $153,673 and $440,638, respectively. This difference is primarily due to an
accumulated $278,528 in discount of convertible notes and $34,402 in interest
expense, resulting from the issuance of $960,000 convertible promissory notes
during the first quarter of 2010, as well as $55,661 in interest expense,
resulting from a financial lease for two machines used in the production of our
products.
Income
Tax Expense
For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, income tax expense was $310,705
and $655,550, respectively, as compare to $317,084 and $560,544 for the
corresponding three and nine month periods in 2009, or a decrease of 2% and
increase of 17%, respectively. By the end of September 2010, the increase of 17%
for the nine month period is due to the increase of the Company’s revenue. The
Company continues to enjoy the tax holiday in the PRC due to Nengfa Energy's
foreign company status. During 2007, the Tieling City local government tax
bureau in the PRC approved Nengfa Energy as a foreign investment enterprise.
Hence, retroactively effective from January 1, 2007, Nengfa Energy is entitled
to a two-year exemption from corporate income tax and a reduced corporate income
tax rate of 12.5% for the following three years. The Sales Company is a domestic
company, which is subject to the unified statutory income tax rate of
25%.
As of
September 30, 2010, the operations in the United States of America have resulted
in $2,185,063 of cumulative net operating losses, which can be carried forward
to offset future taxable income. The net operating loss carry forward will begin
to expire in 2030, if not utilized. The Company has provided for a valuation
allowance against the deferred tax assets of $742,921 on the expected future tax
benefits from the net operating loss carry forward as management believes it is
more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the
future.
The
Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2010 was 13.1% and 14.7%, respectively.
NET
INCOME
Net
income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $2,069,762 and
$3,807,264, approximately 25.7% and 21.0% of the total revenue, respectively, as
compared to $2,176,468 and $3,472,329, approximately 28.8% and 22.5% of the
total revenue, respectively, , a decrease of $106,706, or approximately 4.9%.
from the corresponding three month period in 2009, and an increase of $334,935,
or approximately 9.6%, from the corresponding nine month period in 2009. The
change in Net Income is primarily due to the increase in revenue and a change of
the Company’s revenue structure.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operating
activities
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2010, net cash provided by operating activities
was $3,161,233. This was attributable primarily to net income of 3,807,264,
adjusted by non-cash items of depreciation of $218,760, non-cash warrant expense
of $278,528 and a $477,290 increase in working capital. The increase in cash
flow from operating activities in nine months of 2010 was due primarily to the
decrease in accounts receivable by $1,506,879, a increase in accounts payable by
$624,753, a increase in income tax payable by $107,681, which was offset by an
increase in retention receivables by $172,046, and an increase in inventories by
$915,044, the increase in prepayment and other receivables by $870,742, the
decrease in customer deposits by $100,580, and a decrease in other payables and
accrued liabilities by $1,323,997 in this period.

At
September 30, 2010, accounts receivable was $11,237,197, which had decreased by
$1,273,678, from $12,510,875 at the beginning of 2010. By the December 31, 2009,
the outstanding accounts receivable was due to a number of large State owned
projects which experienced delayed installation of the systems in which our
products are used and therefore the whole system’s operating tests were not
completed, and as a result, the payment for the products which we provided to
these projects was also delayed. According to our contract, we recognize revenue
once a customer has inspected and has accepted the products and we have
delivered the products to the customer. One of our customers is one of the
contractors to the large state owned infrastructure projects, and our products
are a small part of these projects’ installation. The Company’s receipt of
payment schedule was impacted, not due to the Company’s products, but due to the
customer of the Company meeting its project installation schedule and completion
of the whole system operating test. Although the delayed payment represents a
customer breach of contract, we are willing to work with the contractor to
resolve this issue. Although accounts receivable has decreased by September 30,
2010, with an expected increase in the Company’s revenue for the year, accounts
receivable may increase according to the contracts’ terms.
At
September 30, 2010, the Company had accounts receivable of $11,237,197, 70% and
30% of the accounts receivable are product revenue accounts receivable and
service revenue account receivable, respectively. The accounts receivable with
aging within 90 days, between 91 and 180 days, and between 181 and 365 days, and
above 365 days are $6,781,048, $2,549,102, $1,598,613 and $320,183,
respectively, representing 60.3%, 22.7%, 14.2% and 2.8% of the total account
receivables, respectively, as of September 30, 2010. The Company restricted the
accounts receivable with aging above 1 year within 1% of the total account
receivables. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure
related to its customers. The detailed account receivable aging, starting from
the invoice date, at September 30, 2010 is as follows:

Most of
our customers make payments in accordance with the agreed payment terms in a
timely manner. In rare cases, we may offer extended payment terms to certain
customers for equipment sales. These customers are usually large state-owned
corporations with good credit ratings. At the end of each period, we evaluate
the structure and collectability of accounts receivable and for those
receivables that are past due or not being paid according to the payment terms,
we take appropriate actions to exhaust all means of collection, including
seeking legal resolution in a court of law, for our collection
efforts.
We offer
our customers a free product warranty on a case-by-case basis, depending upon
the type of customer, nature and size of the infrastructure projects. Under such
arrangements, a portion of the project contract balance (usually 5-10% of
contract value) is withheld by a customer for 12 to 24 months, until the product
warranty has expired. On September 30 2010, the retention receivables were
$649,542.
The
increase in inventories to $1,583,246 reflects a reasonable inventory level
which corresponds to purchase some key raw materials, in order to fulfill large
order manufacturing requirement in fourth quarter. The reason for the large
increase in the prepayments and other receivables to $1,564,466, as compared to
year end December 31, 2009, is due to increases in prepayments to vendors for
raw materials, as the current price of raw materials are uncertain and in order
to lock in the current price, we prepay the vendor. To increase operating cash
flow, the Company obtain a delay of the payment terms from the construction
suppliers to its new manufacturing facility. Therefore at September 30, 2010,
accounts payable was $2,734,320. During this period, a decrease in
other payables and accrued receivables was due to the Company paying $1,018,682
to the PRC government for land use rights, and a decrease in accrued operating
expense of $216,490.
Investing
activities
In 2008,
the Company was approved by the local government to construct a new
manufacturing facility for energy-saving products and equipment in Yingzhou
District Industrial Park, Tieling City, Liaoning Province, in the PRC. Total
estimated construction cost of the new manufacturing facility is approximately
$16 million (including land use rights for approximately $3 million). The
construction project is expected to be fully completed by the end of 2010. Upon
completion, the estimated manufacturing capacity of the new facility will be
more than 3 times the capacity at the Company’s current manufacturing
facility.
- 13
-
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2010, net cash used in investing activities was
$3,548,507, and was primarily attributable to the purchase of plant and
equipment of $36,345 and payments for construction in progress of $3,513,416.
There were also proceeds of $1,254 from the disposal of equipment.
As of
September 30, 2010, the Company has incurred and capitalized $12,808,645 as
construction in progress.
The new
facility and the installation of new and higher quality machines should enhance
the Company’s equipment manufacturing capacity and improve the productivity and
precision level of its products. Furthermore, the Company will have the ability
to expand the sale of its flow control equipment products into other
markets.
Financing
activities
For the
three months ended September 30, 2010, net cash provided by financing activities
was $640,762, of which $447,738 was attributable to the payments on a finance
lease and $900,000 was generated by a private placement financing of convertible
promissory notes. As of September 30, 2010, the Company also received $188,500
in temporary advances made by the Company’s major stockholder, Pelaris
International Ltd, which is controlled by Ms. Li Hua Wang (the Company’s CFO)
and Mr. Li Gang (the Company’s CEO), and both directors of the Company, which is
unsecured, interest-free with no fixed repayment term. Imputed interest on this
amount is considered insignificant.
During
the first quarter of 2010, the Company sold, through a private placement to two
accredited investors, convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal
amount of $960,000 and warrants to purchase 64,000 shares of its common stock.
The Notes while outstanding had an effective interest at the rate of 6% per
annum, and absent an “event of default,” are payable in shares of the Company’s
common stock. Provided there is no “event of default,” the Notes convert upon
the earlier to occur of (i) the commencement of trading of the Company’s common
stock on a major US stock exchange, or (ii) one year after issuance. Upon
conversion, the holders of the Notes shall receive such number of shares of
common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the then-outstanding
principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes by (b) the
then-current conversion price, which currently is $7.50 per share (post 2.5-to-1
reverse stock split). The conversion price is subject to adjustment for stock
dividends, splits, combinations and similar events. The warrants, which are
exercisable for shares of common stock at a current exercise price of $10.00 per
share (post 2.5-to-1 reverse stock split), were not exercisable until three
months after issuance and will terminate five years thereafter. The exercise
price is subject to adjustment for stock dividends, splits, combinations and
similar events. The warrants also contain an exercise price ratchet adjustment
in the event the Company issues warrants having an exercise price at less than
the exercise price then in effect for the Warrants The Company has agreed to
provide the investors with “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to the
shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.
As the
Company adopts ASC Topic 470-20 “ Debt with conversion and other
options”, the convertible notes are recorded in accordance with this
topic. Although this accounting treatment has affected our balance sheet and
income statement by increasing the stock based compensation and non-cash
interest expense, it will not affect our cash flow.
On July
27, 2010, the Company signed a two year unsecured credit facility with a
domestic bank to borrow up to RMB 40 million (approximately $5.88 million based
upon current exchange rates).Under the agreement, we will be able to draw up to
a maximum of RMB 40 million ($5.88 million) over a 24 month period ending June
28, 2012. Outstanding balances under the facility will accrue interest at a rate
of 1.3 times the Bank of China benchmark lending rate. Any amounts of
principal repaid may be redrawn during the 24 month period. Drawings under the
facility will be used to complete the Company’s new manufacturing plant and for
general corporate purposes. The Company has not yet drawn down on this
facility.
We
anticipate we will need additional working capital in 2010 and beyond to fund
the Company’s new business plans to establish a manufacturing base for new
energy equipment and to develop comprehensive energy saving infrastructure
projects for municipalities and energy conservation projects that include blast
furnace power generation, low concentration coal bed methane power generation
and bio-mass gas generation. Furthermore, we may consider expanding the
Company’s business lines. In order to maintain our lead position in
energy-efficient flow control equipment manufacturing, we anticipate a continued and steady growth
of the manufacture and sale of our flow control equipment. We may decide to
pursue additional investments through the sale of equity or equity linked
securities or debt financing to obtain the additional cash resources to fund our
business and other future projects; however, there can be no assurance that we
will be able to obtain additional funds on terms acceptable to the Company or at
all. If we cannot obtain debt or equity financing to fund our working capital
needs, our business development plan may be delayed and we may not be able to
achieve the estimated revenue growth from service and projects or we may not be
able to achieve our total revenues projections for this year.

On May
21, 2007, a civil complaint Robert Dawley v. NF Energy Saving Corp. of America,
et al. was filed in the United States District Court, Middle District of
Florida, Orlando, Civil No. 6:07-cv-872-Orl-18DAB. The complaint accused the
defendant of breaching a contract for payment of money that was signed by Sam
Winer, former Chief Executive Officer of the Company, before the commencement of
the Company’s reverse merger. After being initially dismissed by the court, the
action was authorized to proceed on November 16, 2007. A trial was held in the
United States District Court, Middle District of Florida, Orlando on October 16,
2008. The District Court issued a judgment on December 11, 2008, awarding the
plaintiff the sum of $400,000 against the Company, plus prejudgment interest in
the amount of $132,821.92, with continuing interest of $131.51 per day on the
$400,000 obligation until it is paid. The Court further adjudged that the
plaintiff shall surrender certain shares of common stock he holds in the Company
upon payment of the $400,000. In the event the plaintiff fails to surrender the
specified shares of stock after payment, the Company may cancel the stock. Any
payments or collection under the judgment shall be credited first to
interest.

On
January 6, 2009, the Company filed a notice of appeal 09-10140-B in the United
States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit from the District Court’s judgment.
The Company has also accrued $200,000 for this contingent liability to the
statement of operation in 2008. In addition, two of the Company’s executive
officers and directors, Mr. Gang Li and Ms. Li Hua Wang have personally agreed
to guarantee and bear all contingent liabilities and costs to be incurred from
this litigation claim.
On April
1, 2010, the Eleventh Circuit issued a unanimous opinion reversing the District
Court’s Judgment on the grounds that Dawley was not entitled to the relief that
he sought and that the law did not support the District Court’s Judgment against
NF Energy. The Eleventh Circuit, to the contrary entered Judgment in NF Energy’s
favor. Subsequently, the United States District Court for the Middle District of
Florida, acting upon instructions from the Court of Appeal, entered a Bill of
Costs against Robert Dawley on June 24, 2010, totaling $2,088.
Mr.
Dawley has orally advised the Company that he has filed a Petition for Writ of
Certiorari of the Eleventh Circuit’s Opinion and Judgment with the Supreme Court
of the United States. However, to date, the Company has received no
indication that the Supreme Court has accepted any filings by Mr. Dawley or has
scheduled any response to his Petition. The Company therefore has not
taken any action with respect to any such Petition.
On or
about July 1, 2010, Mr. Dawley apparently commenced a second action before the
United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, entitled Robert
Dawley v. NF Energy Corp. of America, et al. In addition to the Company,
Mr. Dawley has named as defendants Mr. Gang Li and the Company’s litigation
counsel. Mr. Dawley asserts, among other things, that the defendants
committed fraud with respect to the same agreements as were the subject of the
prior action. He also complains that he is entitled to have a restrictive
legend removed from certain stock certificates that the predecessor company had
issued to him in exchange for an additional capital contribution. Though
he has served copies of the Complaint, he has yet to serve a Summons requiring
the defendants to respond to the Complaint.
The
Company believes that the second action by Mr. Dawley has no merit, is barred by
the judgment entered by the Court of Appeals in the prior action and, in any
event, fails to state fraud claims with the specificity required by law.
Mr. Dawley has refused to withdraw the complaint, and so it is the Company’s
intention to ask the Court to strike the complaint and issue monetary sanctions
against Mr. Dawley equivalent to the amount of the Company’s attorneys’ fees and
costs incurred as a result of the second action. The motions currently are
pending before the Court.
Though
the Company believes that its contemplated motion has merit, the Company cannot
predict with certainty that the Court will agree. Accordingly, the Company
does not express any opinion as to the likelihood of its motion’s success.
In the event that the Court does deny the motion, it is the Company’s intent to
continue its efforts to prevail against Mr. Dawley on behalf of all the named
defendants to the second action.
