NOTE 1 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 June 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 2 ORGANIZATION
AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND
NF Energy
Saving Corporation (the “Company” or “NFEC”) was incorporated in the State of
Delaware in the name of Galli Process, Inc. on October 31, 2000. On February 7,
2002, the Company changed its name to “Global Broadcast Group, Inc.” On November
12, 2004, the Company changed its name to “Diagnostic Corporation of America.”
On March 15, 2007, the Company changed its name to “NF Energy Saving
Corporation of America.” On August 24, 2009, the Company further changed its
current name to “NF Energy Saving Corporation.”
The
Company, through its subsidiaries, mainly engages in the production of heavy
industrial components and products such as valves and the provision of technical
service and re-engineering projects in the energy saving related industry in the
People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). All the customers are located in
the PRC.
On May
27, 2010, the Company approved a reverse stock split of its common stock
outstanding at a ratio resulting in a reduction of the aggregate number of
shares of outstanding common stock from anywhere between 10% (i.e. 10:9) to 500%
(i.e. 5:1), as decided by the Board of Directors in its discretion, to take
effect at such time within three months of June 8, 2010 as determined by the
Board of Directors in its discretion. As of the date hereof, the Board has not
yet implemented the reverse stock split.

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’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 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 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. 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.
·
|
Retention
receivable
|
Retention
receivable is the amount withheld by a customer based upon 5-10% of the contract
value, until a product warranty is expired.
·
|
Inventories

are stated at the lower of cost or market value (net realizable value), cost
being determined on a weighted average method. Costs include material, labor and
manufacturing overhead costs. The Company quarterly 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. As of June 30, 2010, the Company did
not record an allowance for obsolete inventories, nor have there been any
write-offs.

cost of construction, purchases of plant and equipment and other direct costs
attributable to the construction of a new manufacturing facility in Yinzhou
District Industrial Park, Tieling City, Liaoning Province, the PRC. Total
estimated construction cost of a new manufacturing facility is approximately $16
million (including land use rights of approximately $3 million). The
construction project is expected to be fully completed in late 2010.
Construction in progress is not depreciated until such time as the assets are
completed and put into operational use. No capitalized interest is incurred
during the period of construction

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, (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”.

Impairment
of long-lived assets
|
In
accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360-10-5, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
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 June 30, 2010.

Sales
of energy saving flow control equipment
|
(b)
|
Provision
of energy project management and sub-contracting
service
|
(c)
|
Provision
of energy-saving construction

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 collectibility is reasonably assured.
(a)
|
Sale
of products
|
The
Company derives a majority of revenues from the sale of energy saving flow
control equipment. Generally, these energy saving flow control equipment 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 the quality and product conditions with the
full satisfaction at the Company’s plant. Once the product is accepted by the
customer, the Company usually makes delivery to the customer, usually within a
month.
The
Company recognizes revenue from the sale of such finished products upon delivery
to the customers, 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 has recorded no reserve for sales returns for
the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
(b)
|
Service
revenue
|
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
plus basis, for a period of service time from 2 to 3 months. Revenue is
recognized, net of business taxes when service is rendered and accepted by the
customers.

Project
revenue
|
In
February 2010, NFEC, through its subsidiary Nengfa Energy, entered into a
cooperative arrangement with one of the biomass energy technology companies in
Fuxin (“Fuxin”) for the development of 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. 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 agreed to transfer its ownership and proprietary right
to the energy-related system and facility to Fuxin.
Under
this cooperative arrangement, Nengfa Energy is entitled to total project income
of $750,314 from the joint energy-saving project with total project cost of
approximately $618,000 over the term of the project. For the six months ended
June 30, 2010, Nengfa Energy recognized the project revenue of $375,157 in the
statement of operations under the installment method.

ASC Topic
220, “Comprehensive
Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
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
condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity, consists of changes in
unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive
income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or
benefit.
·

Income
taxes
|
The
provision for income taxes is 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
three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not have any
interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of June 30, 2010, the
Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax
positions.
The
Company conducts 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 the foreign tax authority. For the
six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company filed and cleared 2009 PRC tax
return by its tax authority.

Under the
terms of the contracts, the Company offers the customers a free 12-months’
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 for 12 months, until the product warranty is expired. The
Company has not experienced any material returns 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 three and six
months ended June 30, 2010.

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$”). The
Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC, Nengfa Energy and Sales Company maintain
their books and records in their local currency, the Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”),
which is the functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic
environment in which these entities operate.
In
general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries
whose functional currency is not the US$ 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 convertible promissory note, note payable and
obligation under finance lease was approximately $2.3 million as of June 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.

Recent
accounting pronouncements
|
The
Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting
pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such
pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial
condition or the results of its operations, as follows:
In March
2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)
— Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives.” ASU 2010-11
clarifies that the only form of an embedded credit derivative that is exempt
from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements are those that relate to the
subordination of one financial instrument to another. As a result, entities that
have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other
than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit
derivative feature. The provisions of ASU 2010-11 will be effective on July 1,
2010 and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
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
Trades. 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.

Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-19 to have a material
effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of
the Company.
In July
2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that will require additional
disclosures about the credit quality of loans, lease receivables and other
long-term receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. Certain
additional disclosures in this new accounting guidance will be effective for the
Company on December 31, 2010 with certain other additional disclosures that will

Saving Technology Engineering Design & Research Institute. The Company
intends to use the fund for capital expenditure purpose. The Note becomes
repayable in full on June 19, 2011 and carries interest at 16.5% per annum
payable at its due date
NOTE 9 CONVERTIBLE
PROMISSORY NOTES
On
February 24, 2010 and March 4, 2010, the Company sold, through a private
placement to two accredited investors, ARC China Investment Funds and ARC Semper
China Investment Funds, convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the
aggregate principal amount of $960,000 and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase
160,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”).
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of approximately $900,000 from the
private placement for working capital and general corporate
purposes.
The Notes
bear an effective interest at the rate of 6% per annum, absent an “event of
default,” are payable in shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Provided an
“event of default” has not occurred and is not then continuing, the Notes will
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 initially shall be $3.00 per
share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment for stock dividends,
splits, combinations and similar events. The Notes are secured by a security
interest in and lien upon all of the Company’s assets.
The
Warrants, which are exercisable for shares of Common Stock at an initial
exercise price of $4.00 per share, are not exercisable until six 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
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 has engaged an independent valuer to perform the valuation of the Notes
and the Company has determined that the Notes are 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.

FOR

(Currency

(Unaudited)
(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 note payable, borrowings under
promissory notes and finance lease. 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 June 30, 2010, note payable, borrowings under
promissory notes and finance lease was 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.
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.
NOTE 15 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 equivalent to the market rate, are recorded as rental
expense and totaled approximately $23,776 and $25,573 for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
As of
June 30, 2010, the future minimum rental payments due under this non-cancelable
operating lease in the next twelve months is $26,621.

(b) Capital
commitments
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, the PRC. Total
estimated construction cost of a new manufacturing facility is approximately $16
million (including land use rights of approximately $3 million). The
construction project is expected to be fully completed in late
2010.
As of
June 30, 2010, the Company is committed to the future contingent payments of
approximately $0.85 million on the purchase of new plant and equipment and third
party contractors in the next twelve months.
(c) 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
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, 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 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.

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.
NOTE 16 SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
On July
27, 2010, the Company announced that it has signed a two year unsecured credit
facility with a domestic Chinese bank to borrow up to RMB 40 million
(approximately $5.88 million based on current exchange rates).
Under the
terms of the agreement, the Company will be able to draw up to a maximum of RMB
40 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.

CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
An
appreciation of our critical accounting policies is necessary to understand our
financial results. These policies may require management to make difficult and
subjective judgments regarding uncertainties, and as a result, such estimates
may significantly impact our financial results. The precision of these estimates
and the likelihood of future changes depend on a number of underlying variables
and a range of possible outcomes. We applied our critical accounting policies
and estimation methods consistently in all periods presented.
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.
24
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 months
ended June 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 one of the biomass energy technology companies in
Fuxin (“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. 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 agreed to transfer its ownership and proprietary right
of the energy-related system and facility to Fuxin.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2010, Nengfa Energy is recalled project income of
$375,157 from the cooperative arrangement which it recognized as project revenue
in the statement of operations under the installment method.
(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.
25
The
payment terms for our accounts receivable from each source of revenue is set
forth below:
Revenue items
|
General payment terms:
|
||
1.
|
Sales
of products
|
(a)
10%
of the contract value will be paid by the customer upon signing the
contract.
(b)
50%
of the contract value will be paid by the customer after the physical
inspection (with a credit term from 30 to 90 days).
(c)
30
to 35% of the contract value will be paid upon the delivery to the
customer (with a credit term from 30 to 90 days).
(d)
5
to 10% of the contract value will be paid within 12 months (from the
delivery date) as warranty retention for the product.
|
|
2.
|
Services
|
(a)
10
to 15 % of the contract value will be paid by the customer upon signing
the contract.
(b)
The
remaining contract value will be paid by the customer upon the completion
of the service (with a credit term from 30 to 90 days).
|
|
3.
|
Projects
|
Payments
based on the achievement of certain milestones to be made over the term of
the project.
|
In
general, accounts receivables 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 requires 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 large amounts of accounts receivable, 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 a free 12-months of
product warranty on a case-by–case basis, depending upon the type of customer,
and the nature and size of the infrastructure project. Under such arrangements,
a portion of the project contract balance (usually 5-10% of contract value) is
withheld by a customer for 12 months, until the product warranty has expired.
The Company has not experienced any material returns under this warranty
provision. As such, no reserve for product warranty has been provided for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2010.
26
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. As of June 30, 2010, the Company did
not record an allowance for obsolete inventories, nor have there been any
write-offs.
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
|
3 –
20 years
|
5%
|
||
Furniture,
fixture and equipment
|
5 –
8 years
|
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.
27
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.
For the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not
have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of June 30,
2010, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax
positions.
The
Company conducts its majority of business in the PRC and is subject to tax in
that 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
period ended June 30, 2010, the Company filed and cleared its 2009 PRC tax
return by such tax authority.
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$, in accordance
with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on
the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates
prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of
financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate
component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of
stockholders’ equity.
Translation
of amounts from RMB into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
FOR
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 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 $7,217,969 and $10,058,452 for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $ 5,218,704 and $7,638,536 for
the corresponding period in 2009. Total revenues increased by $1,999,265 and
$2,419,916, a 38% and 32% increase for the three and six months ended June 30,
2010, respectively, as compared to total revenues for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2009. These increase were due to a significant increases in
service and project revenue.
28
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.
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 save. 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
third and fourth quarter of 2010, the increase of project revenue has shown that
the Company is undertaking a good development 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 $3,650,612 and $6,915,157, respectively, or 51%
and 61% of total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, as
compared to $4,627,735 and $6,164,844, respectively or 89% and 88% of total
revenues, for the corresponding period in 2009. Product revenues decreased by
$977,123 and $564,717, respectively, a 21% and 8% decrease, over the
corresponding periods in 2009. This decrease is primarily due to most of the
Company’s orders are being delivered in third and fourth quarters of 2010. The
Company’s total revenue for the whole year is following a steady upward
trend.
29
Service
Revenues
Service
revenues are derived principally from energy-saving technical services and
product collaboration processing services. 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
$3,192,200 and $3,518,451, respectively, or 44% and 35%of total revenues, for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $590,969 and
$908,975, respectively, or 11% and 12% of total revenues, for the corresponding
period in 2009. Service revenues increased by $2,601,231 and $2,609,476,
respectively, a 440% and 287% increase over the same period in 2009. This
increase is primarily due to the increase in service contracts.
Project
Revenues
Project
revenues are derived principally from energy-saving, re-engineering projects
that require significant modification, customization and installation. The
Company applies the percentage-of-completion method to recognize project
revenues. Project revenues were $375, 157, or 5% and 4% of the total revenues
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. For the same period ended in
2009, there was no project revenue. The Company has been continuously conducting
energy-saving projects’ developments; 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 one of the biomass energy technology companies in
Fuxin (“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. 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 system
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 to the energy-related system and
facility to Fuxin.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2010, Nengfa Energy is recognized $375,157 as project
revenue from the 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 $5,194,725
and $7,355,757, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010,
as compared to $3,693,925 and $5,434,295, respectively, for the corresponding
three month period in 2009, an increase of $1,500,800 and $1,921,462, or
approximately 41% and 35%. This increase was primarily due to the increase
services provided and projects commenced during this period.
The
overall gross profit for the Company was $2,023,244 (28% margin) and $2,702,695
(27% margin), respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, as
compared to $1,524,779 (29% margin) and $2,204,241 (29% margin), respectively,
for the corresponding three and six month period in 2009, a increase of $498,465
and $498,454, respectively. The reason for the increase in gross profit was due
to an increase of product sold gross profit. Because the steel structured
casting processes for some of the service contracts are simpler than others, the
related gross margin for these contracts is lower. Therefore the average overall
gross margin decreased 1% and 2%, respectively, for three and six month ended
June 30, 2010, compare to the corresponding period in 2009.
Cost
of Products
Total
cost of products was $2,315,196 and $4,264,543, respectively, for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $3,250,140 and $4,816,014,
respectively, for the corresponding three and six month period in 2009, a
decrease of $933,944 and $551,471, respectively, or approximately 29% and 11%.
This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in the number of products
delivered in this period. In addition, for some contracts with regular product
orders, the raw material waste is less. Therefore, the cost was relatively
low.
30
The gross
profit for products was $1,334,416 (37% margin and 65% of total gross profit)
and $1,900,301 (31% margin and 70% of total gross profit ), respectively, for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to, $1,377,595 (30%
margin and 90% of total gross profit) and $1,913,547 (28% margin and 87% of
total gross profit), respectively, for the corresponding three and six month
period in 2009, a decrease of $43,179 and $13,246 or approximately 3% and 1%.
This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in product revenues being greater
than the decrease in cost of products.
Cost
of Services
The cost
of services was $2,572,151 and $2,784,836, respectively for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $443,785 and $618,281, respectively,
for the corresponding three and six month period in 2009, an increase of
$2,128,366 and $2,166,555 or approximately 480% and 350%. This increase is
primarily due to an increase in service contracts.
The gross
profit for services was $620,049 (19% margin and 31% of the total gross profit)
and $733,615(21% margin and 27% of the total gross profit), respectively, for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010., as compared to $147,184 (25%
margin and 10% of total gross profit) and $290,694 (32% margin and 13% of total
gross profit) for the corresponding period in 2009, an increase of $472,865 and
$442,921, respectively, or approximately 321% and 152%. This increase is
primarily due to the significant increase in service contract revenue. The gross
margin decreased due to a relative high percentage of production collaboration
processing service contracts compare to the total service revenue. These
contracts have lower gross margin, which led the overall decrease in service
gross margin.
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 $306,378 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.
There was no project implemented in the same period accordingly in 2009.
Therefore the cost was zero.
The gross
profit for projects was $68,779 (18% margin and 3% of total gross margin) and
$68,779 (18% margin and 3% of total gross margin) for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2010, respectively. This increase is primarily due to an increase
in project revenue. The cost of the project in this period was primarily the
equipment purchasing cost. In China, the benefit sharing period for energy
saving or energy conservation projects are usually 5 to 10 years, with a gross
margin between 35%-40%. The project we had in this period only shares 50% of the
first year energy saving benefit, although the gross margin is relatively lower
than general energy conservation projects, the return and payment are stable.
The Company continuously develops other energy-saving projects, to ensure a
steady growth in project revenue.
Operating
Expenses
Total
operating expenses were $213,675 and $386,162 for the three month and six month
ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $568,681 and $762,699 for the corresponding
three month and six month period in 2009, respectively, a decrease of $355,006
and $376,537, or approximately 62% and 49%. This decrease 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 $14,905 and $32,652 for the three and six month ended
June 30, 2010, as compared to $25,628 and $74,453 for the corresponding three
and six month period in 2009, respectively, a decrease of $10,723 and $41,801 or
approximately 42% and 56%. This decrease is primarily due to an increased number
of contracts with lower gross margin during this period. These contracts have
relative lower selling and marketing expenses, and therefore reduced the total
amount of selling and marketing expenses. While the Company’s products sold, and
projects’ revenue increasing through the rest of year 2010, the selling and
marketing expenses will increase accordingly.
31
General
and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses were $198,770 and $353,510 for the three months and
six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $194,053 and $339,246 for the
corresponding three and six month period in 2009, respectively, an increase of
$4,717 and $14,264 or approximately 2% and 4%. The reason of this increase was
due to, the Company issuing $0.96 million of convertible notes to two qualified
investors in February and March 2010. During the three and six month ended June
30, 2010, the Company amortized $14,959 cost of financing. Additionally, due to
a general increase in prices in this period, the Company’s transaction costs
increased as well, the Company also paid a director remuneration amounting
62,000 for six month period.
INCOME
FROM OPERATIONS
Income
from operations was $1,809,569 and $2,316,533, for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $956,098 and $1,441,542
for the corresponding three and six month period in 2009, respectively, an
increase of $853,471 and $874,991, respectively, or approximately 89%and 61%.
This increase is primarily due to the 33% increase in gross revenue and the 62%
decrease in operating expenses. The decrease for the six months ended
June 30, 2010, from the corresponding period in 2009 primarily consists of
a zero expense in stock based compensation expense incurred for the six months
ended 2009 for a commitment to issue warrants to purchase up to 450,000 shares
of common stock to several investors relations firms for their work on behalf of
the Company in the coming years. The number of shares subject to these warrants
was adjusted to 150,000 as the result of a 3 to 1 reverse stock split effective
on August 26, 2009. Subsequent to the ended by September 30, 2009,
warrants for the exercise of 47,222 shares of common stock (on a post-share
split basis) were cancelled by mutual agreement with the warrant holders. By
June, 2010, the Company’s previous Investor Relation contract has expired, all
issued service warrants has been calculated by using Black-Scholes model, and
amortized in previous quarters. Therefore, there was no stock based compensation
in this period.
Other
(expense) Income
Other
expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $153,785 and
$234,186, respectively , as compared to other income of $34,763 and $52,779,
respectively, for the corresponding three and six month period in 2009, an
absolute difference of $188,548 and $286,965. This difference is primarily due
to accumulated $181,696 in interest expense, resulting from the issuance of
$960,000 convertible promissory notes during the first quarter of 2010, as well
as $49,679 in interest expense, resulting from a financial lease for two
machines used in the production of our products, incurred during the first
quarter 2010, compared to $33,610 of subsidy income recognized in the in the
first quarter of 2009, and a decrease in interest income as bank saving interest
was lower than financial transaction cost.
Income
Tax Expense
For the
three and six months ended June 30, 2010, income tax expense was $285,465 and
$344,845, respectively, as compare to $181,912 and $243,460 for the
corresponding three and six month period in 2009,respectively. 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.
As of
June 30, 2010, the operations in the United States of America have resulted in
$1,603,931 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 $545,336 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.
Effective
from January 1, 2008, the Corporate Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of
China (the “New CIT Law”) became operative. Under the New CIT Law, Nengfa
Energy, as a foreign investment enterprise, continues to enjoy the unexpired tax
holiday of 50%-reduction on the unified income tax through 2011, subject to a
transitional policy. The Sales Company is a domestic company, which is subject
to the unified statutory income tax rate of 25%.
The
Company’s effective income tax rates for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 2010 were 12.5%.
32
NET
INCOME
Net
income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $1,370,319 and
$1,737,502, approximately 19% and 17% of the total revenue, respectively, as
compared to $808,949 and $1,250,861, approximately 16% and 16% of the total
revenue, respectively, for the corresponding three and six month period in 2009,
an increase of $561,370 and $486,641 or approximately 69% and 39%. This increase
is primarily due to a restructured business mix in the Company’s whole business,
resulting in service and project revenue increasing significantly, as well as
the Company has improved its internal control such that its costs and expenses
have decreased.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operating
activities
For the
six months ended June 30, 2010, net cash provided by operating activities was
$1,922,555. This was attributable primarily to net income of 1,737,502, adjusted
by non-cash items of depreciation of $145,395, non-cash interest expense of
$160,984 and a $121,103 decrease in working capital. The decrease in working
capital in the first six months of 2010 was due primarily to the decrease in
accounts receivable by $3,159,179 and decrease in retention receivable by
$469,637, a increase in customer deposits by $467,627, an increase in income tax
payable by $44,417, which was offset by an increase in inventories by
$1,322,393, the increase in prepayment $1,389,196 and increase in other
receivable by $1,013,717, a decrease in the accounts payable by $181,458, and a
decrease in other payables and accrued liabilities by $1,368,916 in this
period.
By June
30, 2010, the account receivable was $9,392,115, which had decreased by
$3,159,179, from $12,510,875 at the beginning of 2010. By the December 31, 2010,
the outstanding account receivable was due to a number of large State owned
projects 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 coordinate with the contractor to resolve this
issue. Although the account receivable has decreased by June 30, 2010, with an
expected increase in the Company’s revenue though out of the year, the account
receivable may increase according to the contracts’ terms.
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 takes appropriate actions to exhaust all means of collection, including
seeking legal resolution in a court of law, for its collection
efforts.
At June
30, 2010, the Company had accounts receivable of $9,392,115, 86%, 9%and 5% of
the accounts receivable are product revenue accounts receivable, service revenue
account receivable and project 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 $4,871,701, $1,677,790,
$2,643,937 and $198,687, respectively, representing 52%, 18%, 28% and 2% of the
total account receivables, respectively, as of June 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, by June 30, 2010 is as following:

We offer
the customers a free 12-months of 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 for 12 months, until
the product warranty has expired. On June 30 2010, the retention receivables
were $406,993.
In
addition, it is the Company practice to build up a larger inventory to be able
to fulfill its contracts during the installation of the large infrastructure
projects. The increase in inventories of $1,322,393 reflects a reasonable
inventory level which corresponds to pre-purchased raw materials to be able to
fulfill manufacturing requirement in third and fourth quarter; and a number of
contracts for products which have not been delivered or recognized as revenue by
June 30, 2010. The reason for the large increase in the prepayments and other
receivables of $1,389,196 as compared to year end December 31, 2009, is due to
increases in prepayments to vendors for raw materials, and prepayment to
projects. During this period, an increase in customer deposits of $467,627 was
due to increase in contracts.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2009, net cash provided by operating activities was
$2,683,173. This was primarily attributable to our net income of $1,250,861,
adjusted by non-cash items of depreciation of $148,963 and stock based
compensation of $349,000, and a $934,349 increase in working capital. The
increase in working capital in the first six months of 2009 were due primarily
to the decrease in inventories by $681,231, the increase in accounts payable by
$658,202, customer deposits by $7,295, and income tax payable by 181,825,
partially offset by the increase in accounts receivable by $540,094,
prepayments, and other receivables by $7,781, and other payables and accrued
liabilities by $61,891 in this period.
The large
increase in accounts receivable of $540,094, an increase of 6% over the accounts
receivables balances of $8,907,497 at December 31, 2008, is mainly due to
several large contracts. For these large contracts, the construction and
installation period is much longer. The collection period for receivables is
also longer. In addition, we have to produce a larger inventory in order to
prepare for the installation anticipated for these large projects. The decrease
in inventories of $681,231 reflects the lower inventory level the company
maintains for the current sales level. The reason for the large increase in the
prepayments and other receivables of $263,154, a 40.3% increase over the
prepayments and other receivables balance of $652,842 at December 31, 2008 is
due to increases in prepayment to vendors for raw materials, prepayment to
equipment vendors and prepaid operating expense. The increase in accounts
payable of $658,202 corresponds to the increased purchase of materials required
for the production for several large contracts. The increase in customer
deposits of $7,295 is due to the increase in sales this period. The increase in
income tax payable of $181,825 is because the Company started to pay a reduced
income tax rate in PRC in 2009 whereas the Company enjoyed tax holidays in 2008.
The decrease of $61,891 in other payables and accrued liabilities is due to the
decrease in welfare payable and other accrued expenses.
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 in late
2010.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2010, net cash used in investing activities was
$2,775,310, and was primarily attributable to the purchase of plant and
equipment for $16,728 and the payments for construction in progress of
$2,759,833. There were proceeds of $1,251 from the disposal of plant and
equipment.
As of
June 30, 2010, the Company has incurred and capitalized $11,853,759 as
construction in progress.
The
Company currently rents its manufacturing facility from a third party. The
current facility has a designed capacity of approximately 6,000 tons per year.
During the months ended December 31, 2009, the Company utilized approximately
average of 70% of its capacity. The new energy equipment manufacturing facility
currently under construction will have two high standard numerical control
machines installed, plus the current equipment, which will be moved to the new
facility. If fully operated, the new facility will have a designed capacity to
manufacture approximately 20,000 tons of flow control equipments on a yearly
basis, and will also be able to manufacture 300 sets of key components of wind
power equipment or other new energy related equipments annually. Upon
completion, the estimated manufacturing capacity of the new facility will be
more than three times the capacity of the Company’s current
facility.
34
The new
facility and the installation of new and high 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 June 30, 2010, net cash provided by financing activities was
$1,132,227, of which $294,493 was attributable to the payments on finance lease
and $900,000 was generated by a private placement financing of convertible
promissory notes. The Company also received $526,720 note payable from Liaoning
Dongda Nengfa Weiye Energy Saving Technology Engineering Design & Research
Institute
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 160,000 shares of its common stock,
par value $0.001 per share. The notes bear simple interest at the rate of 6% per
year and, absent an “event of default,” are payable in shares of the Company’s
common stock. Provided an “event of default” has not occurred and is not then
continuing, the notes will 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 note by (b) the then-current conversion price, which
initially shall be $3.00 per share. The conversion price is subject to
adjustment for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events. The
notes are secured by a security interest in and lien upon all of the Company’s
assets. The warrants, which are exercisable for shares of common stock at an
initial exercise price of $4.00 per share, are 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 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
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, NF Energy 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 NF Energy’s new manufacturing plant,
increasing capacity from 6,000 tons to 20,000 tons per year, 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 power 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 developments; 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.
Inflation
We
believe that the relatively moderate rate of inflation over the past few years
has not had a significant impact on our results of operations.
35
OFF-BALANCE
SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not
have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.
IMPACT
OF RECENTLY ISSUED NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
We do not
expect adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a
significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash
flow.

Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2010. The term “disclosure
controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and

company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits
under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s
management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on
the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2010,
our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of
such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

1. Legal Proceedings.
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 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 Appeal 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.
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.
