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.

In the opinion of management, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 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, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 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 Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

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.
The accounts of Sales Company are consolidated as a wholly-owned subsidiary from its inception through June 30, 2011, in which the Company holds 99%-majority equity interest and has the ability to exercise significant influence over Sales Company. The consolidation of 1% equity interest of Sales Company is not material to the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented.
·
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.
·
|
Accounts receivable
|
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, which are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30 to 90 days from shipment. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer's financial condition, the customer credit-worthiness and their payment history. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectibility. At the end of each period, the Company specifically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitor the progress of the collection of accounts receivables. The Company will consider the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the allowance of doubtful accounts was $6,694 and $6,545, respectively.

·
|
Retention receivable
|
Retention receivable is the amount withheld by a customer based upon 5-10% of the contract value, until the product warranty is expired.
·
|
Inventories
|
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 reviews quarterly 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, 2011, the Company did not record an allowance for obsolete inventories, nor have there been any write-offs.
·
|
Construction in progress
|
Construction in progress is stated at cost, which includes acquisition of land use rights, cost of construction, purchases of plant and equipment and other direct costs attributable to the construction of a new manufacturing facility. 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.
·
|
Land use rights
|
All land in the PRC is owned by the PRC government. The government in the PRC, according to the relevant PRC law, may sell the right to use the land for a specified period of time. Thus, the Company’s land purchase in the PRC is considered to be leasehold land and is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any recognized impairment loss. Amortization is provided over the term of the land use right agreement on a straight-line basis, which is 50 years and will expire in 2059.
Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $15,854 and $15,220, respectively.
Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $31,512 and $30,440, respectively.

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 charge for the periods presented.

Revenue recognition
|
The Company offers a number of products and service to its customers, which are:
1.
|
Sales of energy saving flow control equipment
|
2.
|
Provision of energy project management and sub-contracting service
|
3.
|
Provision of energy-saving reconstruction projects
|
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 its revenues from the sale of energy saving flow control equipment. Generally, these products are manufactured and configured to customer requirements. The Company typically produces and builds the energy saving flow control equipment for customers in a period from one to six months. When the Company completes the production in accordance with the customer’s specification, the customer is required to inspect the finished products for quality and product conditions, to its full satisfaction, at the Company’s plant. Once the product is accepted by the customer, the Company usually makes delivery to the customer within a month.
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of such finished products upon delivery to the customer, whereas the title and risk of loss are fully transferred to the customers. The Company records its revenues, net of value added taxes (“VAT”). The Company is subject to VAT which is levied on the majority of the products at the rate of 17% on the invoiced value of sales. The Company experienced no product returns and has recorded no reserve for sales returns for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
(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 two to three and six months. Revenue is recognized, net of business taxes when the service is rendered and accepted by the customer.

(c)
|
Project revenue
|
For the energy-saving reconstruction projects, the Company follows the percentage-of-completion method under ASC Topic 605-35, “Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”, to recognize revenues for energy-saving reconstruction projects that require significant modification or customization or installation subject to the customers for a term of service period exceeding 12 months. Advance payments from customers and amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as receipt in advance. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company did not recognize any project revenue.
(d)
|
Interest income
|
Interest income is recognized on a time apportionment basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.
·
|
Comprehensive income
|
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
|
Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes ” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of June 30, 2011, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.
The Company conducts major 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.

Product warranty
|
Under the terms of the contracts, the Company offers its customers with a free product warranty on a case-by-case basis, depending upon the type of customers, nature and size of the infrastructure projects. Under such arrangements, a portion of the project contract balance (usually 5% to 10% of contract value) is withheld by a customer from 12 to 24 months, until the product warranty has expired. The Company has not experienced any material returns or claims where it was under obligation to honor this standard warranty provision. As such, no reserve for product warranty has been provided in the result of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
·
|
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.
·
|
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 statement of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar ("US$"). The Company's subsidiaries in the PRC maintain their books and records in their local currency, Renminbi Yuan ("RMB"), which is the functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ 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.
Translation of amounts from RMB into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective period:

Segment reporting
|
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. The Company operates in two reportable operating segments in the PRC during the periods presented.

Fair value of financial instruments
|
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding obligation under finance lease, short-term bank borrowing, note payable and convertible promissory notes): cash, accounts and retention receivable, prepayments and other receivables, accounts payable, income tax payable, amount due to a related party, convertible promissory notes, other payables and accrued liabilities approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of its obligation under finance lease, short-term bank borrowings, note payable, related party and convertible promissory notes approximate the carrying amount.
The Company also follows the guidance of ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ” ("ASC 820-10"), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
●
|
Level 1 : Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets;
|
●
|
Level 2 : Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. Black-Scholes Option-Pricing model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs; and
|
●
|
Level 3 : Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.
|
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

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.
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-04, which is an update to Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”. This update establishes common requirements for measuring fair value and related disclosures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sates and international financial reporting standards. This amendment did not require additional fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, which is an update to Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”. This update eliminates the option of presenting the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income and requires reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income to be shown on the financial statements. ASU 2011-05 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
|
On February 24, 2010 and March 4, 2010, the Company sold, through a private placement to two accredited investors, convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $960,000 and warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase 64,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"). The Company used the net proceeds of approximately $900,000 from the private placement for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Notes while outstanding had an effective interest at the rate of 6% per annum and, absent an “event of default,” are payable in shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Provided no "event of default" has occurred and is not then continuing, the Notes initially were to convert upon the earlier to occur of (i) the commencement of trading of the Company's Common Stock on a major US stock exchange, or (ii) one year after issuance. Upon conversion, the holders of the Notes shall receive such number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the then-outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes by (b) the then-current conversion price, which currently is be $7.5 per share.

On October 4, 2010, the Company entered into a Note Modification Agreement and agreed to amend the terms of the Notes, as follows:
(1)
|
The Notes shall, on the maturity date, automatically convert into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the then outstanding obligations by (b) the conversion price then in effect;
|
(2)
|
Interest due under the Notes shall not accrue past October 4, 2010;

(3)
|
The security interest in and lien upon all of the Company’s assets is terminated and shall be of no further force or effect.

The Warrants, which were exercisable for shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $10 per share and were to terminate five years thereafter. The exercise price is subject to adjustment for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events. The warrants also contained an exercise price ratchet adjustment in the event the Company issues warrants having an exercise price at less than the exercise price then in effect for the Warrants. The Company has agreed to provide the investors with “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.
The Company engaged an independent appraiser to perform a valuation of the Notes and the Company determined that the notes should be recorded in accordance with ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with conversion and other options”. The Company allocated the proceeds received between the notes and the warrants on a relative fair value basis. The relative fair values of the notes and the warrants determine the debt discount attributable to the warrants and are recorded as additional paid-in capital. The resulting discount on the Notes is being amortized over the life of the Notes using the effective interest method.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized $70,271 as amortization of debt discount and recorded as interest expense in the statement of operations. As of June 30, 2011, the carrying value of the convertible promissory notes is amounted to $960,000.

(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 borrowing under note payable, finance lease and short-term bank borrowings. The Company manages interest rate risk by varying the issuance and maturity dates, limiting the amount of variable rate debt, and continually monitoring the effects of market changes in interest 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 it 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.

(Unaudited)
Upon motion of the Defendants, in an order dated December 29, 2010, the District Court dismissed six of Dawley’s ten claims on the grounds that they were precluded by the Eleventh Circuit’s prior judgment. Dawley attempted to appeal the District Court’s order to the Eleventh Circuit. (Dawley v. NF Energy Saving Corp. of America, U.S.C.A. 11th Cir. appeal no. 11-10201-F.) But, the Eleventh Circuit dismissed Dawley’s appeal as premature. Dawley asked the Eleventh Circuit to reconsider, but it declined.
The District Court, in an order dated July 19, 2011, dismissed Dawley’s remaining four claims with prejudice on the grounds that he had failed to plead them with the specificity required by law. The District Court then entered Judgment against him on July 20, 2011. Dawley filed a Notice of Appeal of the District Court’s Judgment on July 25, 2011.
As of June 30, 2011, the Company accrued $200,000 for this contingent liability and the Company’s executive officers and directors, Mr. Gang Li and Ms. Li Hua Wang have personally agreed to guarantee all contingent liabilities and costs to be incurred in connection with this litigation claim. At this point, the Company does not believe that the judgment would have a material impact on, or result in significant contingencies to, the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
As used herein the terms "we", "us", "our," the “Registrant,” “NFEC” and the "Company" means, NF Energy Saving Corporation, a Delaware corporation, formerly known as NF Energy Saving Corporation of America, Diagnostic Corporation of America, Global Broadcast Group, Inc., and Galli Process, Inc. These terms also refer to our subsidiary corporations, Liaoning Nengfa Weiye Energy Technology Corporation Ltd. (“Nengfa Energy”), formerly known as Liaoning Nengfa Weiye Pipe Network Construction and Operation Co. Ltd. (“Neng Fa”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Peoples’ Republic of China, which was acquired in November 2006, and Liaoning Nengfa Weiye Tie Fa Sales Co., Ltd. (“Sales Company”), a limited liability corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Peoples’ Republic of China, which was established in September 2007.
NF Energy Saving Corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in the name of Galli Process, Inc. on October 31, 2000 for the purpose of seeking and consummating a merger or acquisition with a business entity organized as a private corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship. On December 31, 2001, Galli Process, Inc. became a majority owned subsidiary of City View TV, Inc., a Florida corporation (“City View”). On February 7, 2002, Galli Process, Inc. changed its name to Global Broadcast Group, Inc. On March 1, 2002, City View merged into Global Broadcast Group, Inc., which was the surviving entity. On November 12, 2004, the Company changed its name to Diagnostic Corporation of America. On March 15, 2007, we changed our name to NF Energy Saving Corporation of America, and on August 24, 2009, the Company further changed its name to NF Energy Saving Corporation, in both instances to more accurately reflect our business after a stock exchange transaction with Neng Fa. Our principal place of business is Room 3106, Tower C, 390 Qingnian Avenue, Heping District, Shenyang, P. R. China 110015. Our telephone number is (8624) 8563-1159.
On November 15, 2006, we executed a Plan of Exchange ("Plan of Exchange"), among the Company, Neng Fa, the shareholders of Neng Fa (the "Neng Fa Shareholders") and Gang Li, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer ("Mr. Li").
Pursuant to and at the closing of the Plan of Exchange, which occurred on November 30, 2006, we issued to the Neng Fa Shareholders 12,000,000 shares of our common stock, or 89.4% of our then outstanding common stock, in exchange for all of the shares of capital stock of Neng Fa owned by the Neng Fa Shareholders. Immediately upon the closing, Neng Fa became our 100% owned subsidiary, and the Company ceased all of its other operations and adopted and implemented the business plan of Neng Fa.
Nengfa Energy’s area of business includes research and development, processing, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of energy saving flow control equipment; manufacturing, marketing and distribution of energy equipment, wind power equipment and fittings; energy saving technical reconstruction; and energy saving technology consulting services, providing comprehensive solutions for energy-saving emission reduction. The Sales Company, which is a subsidiary of Nengfa Energy, is 99% owned by Nengfa Energy. The Sales Company engages in the sales and marketing of flow control equipment and products in the PRC.
On August 26, 2009, the Company completed a 3 for 1 reverse stock split. The total number of then outstanding shares of common stock changed from 39,872,704 pre-split to 13,291,387 post-split.
On September 15, 2010, the Company completed a 2.5 for 1 reverse share split of its common stock, the total number of outstanding shares of common stock changed from 13,315,486 pre-split to 5,326,501 post-split.
On October 4, 2010, our common stock commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Market, under the ticker symbol “NFEC”.

These benefits include for the EMC projects awarded energy conservation status, 1) as the service company, Nengfa Energy’s taxable operating income is temporarily tax free. This means Nengfa Energy is entitled to three-year exemption from corporate income tax from the year of the beginning of generating operating income from an energy conservation project. In addition, the Company is entitled to a reduced corporate income tax rate of 12.5% for the following three year.; and 2) when Nengfa Energy transfers the value-added taxable goods to the energy consuming enterprises, its customers are eligible for value-added tax refunds.
Our principal development focus is to complete the construction of our new manufacturing facility which will enhance the Company’s product lines and expand the manufacturing capacity for our products. In conjunction with the planned facility expansion, we also will undertake efforts to optimize the business structure of the Company, develop other low-carbon technologies, and promote energy-saving technologies efficiency as part of our sales efforts. We aim to become a leader in the energy saving service industry by integrating products and services in new energy sources, energy conservation and environmental protection.

The words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “optimistic”, “intend”, “will”, and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made.

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.
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 over 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 make final acceptance. Once the product is accepted by the customer, the Company undertakes delivery to the customer, usually within a month.
5
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 of sales.

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
|
For energy-saving reconstruction projects, the Company follows the percentage-of-completion method under ASC Subtopic 605-35, “Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts” to recognize revenues for energy-saving reconstruction projects that require significant modification or customization or installation for a term of service period exceeding 12 months. Advance payments from customers and amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as receipt in advance.
(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. 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.

3.
|
Projects
|
Payments based on the achievement of certain milestones to be achieved over the term of the project.
|
||
In general, accounts receivable with aging within 90 days, between 91 and 180 days, and between 181 and 360 days represent approximately 30-40%, 50-60%, and 5%-15%, respectively, of the total accounts receivable. The Company is highly aware the risk of default, and as a result, we control accounts receivable with aging above one year, which account for 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. As is standard in our industry practice, we are paid by these 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 each construction phrase. Given that the construction of these infrastructure projects are very large, complex, and require a high quality level at completion, the inspection process may take a considerable amount of time. Therefore, we may not collect the accounts receivable in a timely manner or only after a period longer than our agreed payment terms.
7
We have a high level of assurance on the recoverability of these accounts receivable, based on our ongoing assessment of customers’ 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 Warranties
Under the terms of the contracts, the Company offers the customers a free 12 to 24 month 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 from 12 to 24 months, until the product warranty has expired. The Company has not experienced any material returns under this warranty provision.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value), with the cost being determined on a weighted average method. Costs include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. Quarterly, the Company reviews historical sales activity to determine excess, slow moving items and potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand. The Company provides inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand.
Plant and Equipment
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:
Expected useful 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.
Land Use Rights
All land in the PRC is owned by the PRC government. The government in the PRC, according to the relevant PRC law, may sell the right to use the land for a specified period of time. Thus, the Company’s land purchase in the PRC is considered to be leasehold land and is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any recognized impairment loss. Amortization is provided over the term of the land use right agreement on a straight-line basis, which is 50 years and will expire in 2059.
8
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”.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes ” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.
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$"). The Company's subsidiaries in the PRC, Nengfa Energy and Sales Company maintain their books and records in the local currency of the PRC, the Renminbi ("RMB"), which is the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ 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 the respective period:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010
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.
RECENT POLICY INITIATIVE WITH THE POTENTIAL TO AFFECT FUTURE REVENUES
A 2010 government report from the office of the Chinese Premier, Wen Jiabao 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.”
On April 6, 2010, the State Council of the PRC 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, the 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 the “Energy Management Contract” (“EMC”) and “Energy Performance Certificate” models.
The stimulation plan of expanding environmental infrastructure that the Chinese government is implementing should provide the Company with an opportunity to provide energy saving services to government-supported infrastructure projects and to industrial companies’ energy saving infrastructure improvements. In October 2010, the Company was recommended as one of the first batch of “Energy Saving Service Companies” by China’s National Development and Reform Commission, and consequently, we believe that we will benefit from the government’s new tax incentive policy for energy saving service companies.
China’s Twelfth Five-Year Plan, promulgated in early 2011, promotes seven strategic emerging industries including new energy and renewable energy. The production of hydropower development continues to increase in major river valleys, and it is anticipated that the expected scale of the projects will be over 20 million kilowatts, with total installed capacity will reaching 220 million kilowatts. Over the next 10 years, fixed asset investment in hydro development is expected to be 4 trillion RMB, which is 400 billion RMB annual investment on average. In 2009, hydro investment stood at 180 billion RMB, implying an annual growth rate of 122% over the next decade. Investment in hydro power is expected to be between 800 and 900 billion RMB for the next 5 years; the investment on re-installed incremental capacity in Twelfth Five- Year Plan should triple the actual investment realized during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan.
The Company believes that the above measures of energy-saving technological improvements have considerable economic benefits after their implementation by the end-user. As noted, the benefits are not only in the improved operations, but are also reflected in cleaner operations, pollution reduction, and lower energy consumption and costs. Some of these elements also can also make a company eligible to receive pollution credits, which can add directly to the bottom line of operation of a plant. Additionally, the by-products may also provide a source of additional income.
10
Therefore, the Company believes that it has market opportunities not only in terms of intelligent flow control equipment and energy efficient flow control equipment it supplies to power plants, hydropower plants and water transportation projects, but also in terms of energy conservation services and energy saving projects by using the EPC model. The Company already has experience in energy project management in China. Going forward, the Company plans to further develop its business model and regularly seek projects to develop comprehensive energy conservation and emission reduction solutions for energy saving reconstruction of steam heat energy system projects, industrial waste heat electricity generation, industrial boiler and furnace retrofitting and reconstruction, biomass utilization and other energy conservation fields.
REVENUES
Total revenues were $4,886,396 and $7,501,797 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $7,217,969 and $10,058,452 for the corresponding period in 2010. Total revenues decreased by $2,331,573 and $2,556,655, a 32.30% and 25.42% decrease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in products and service revenue as described below.
Product Revenues
Product revenues are derived principally from the sale of self-manufactured products relating to energy- saving flow control equipment and new green energy related equipment. Product revenues were $4,103,236 and $5,254,668, or 83.97% and 70.05% of total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $3,650,612 and $6,164,844, or 50.58% and 61.29% of total revenues, for the corresponding period in 2010, respectively. Product revenues increased by $452,624, a 12.4% increase over the three months ended June 30, 2010 and decreased by $910,176, or 14.76% decrease over the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in product revenue was primarily due to the disruption in the Company's operations due to the need to transfer equipment to the Company’s new production facilities and recalibrate it once on site.
Service Revenues
Service revenues are derived principally from energy-saving technical services and product collaboration processing services. The energy-saving technical services include providing energy saving auditing, conservation plans, and/or related service reports. The product re-processing 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 $783,160 and $2,247,129, or 16.03% and 29.95% of total revenues, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $3,192,200 and $3,518,451, or 44.23% and 34.98% of total revenues, for the corresponding period in 2010, respectively. Service revenues decreased by $2,409,040 and $1,271,322, or 75.47% and 36.13% decrease over the same period in 2010. This decrease is primarily due to the effect of the moving of machineries to the new plant.
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. There was no project revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $375,157 for the same period ended in 2010. Given the economic uncertainity of the small-cap Chinese companies in the U.S. market, a project originally planned for the first half of the year was postponed several times, which hindered the investment in energy-saving project. We expect to continue to develop our projects business and to further adjust the Company’s revenue structure, expanding domestic financing resources. We believe that revenues from energy saving projects will grow in 2011 and beyond.
11
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 $3,763,915 and $5,579,834 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $5,194,725 and $7,355,757 for the corresponding three and six months in 2010, respectively, a decrease of $1,430,810 and $1,775,923 or approximately 27.54% and 24.14% decrease. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in products sold during this period.
The overall gross profit for the Company was $1,122,481 and $1,921,963 (22.97% and 25.62% margin) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $2,023,244 and $2,702,695 (28.03% and 26.87% margin) for the corresponding three and six months in 2010, respectively, a decrease of $900,763 and $780,732, a 44.52% and 28.89% decrease compared to the corresponding period in 2010. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in total revenues.
Cost of Products
Total cost of products was $3,180,480 and $3,963,709 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $2,316,196 and $4,264,543 for the corresponding three and six months period in 2010, respectively, a increase of $864,284, or 37.31% and decrease of $300,834 or approximately 7.05%, respectively. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in the number of products sold.
The gross profit for products was $922,756 (22.49% margin) and $1,290,959 (24.57% margin) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $1,334,416 (36.55% margin) and $1,900,301(30.82% margin) for the corresponding three and six months in 2010, respectively, a decrease of $411,660 (30.85%) and $609,342 (32.07%). This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in product revenues. Due to having to move our equipment to a new manufacturing facility, the company had to purchase products directly from other manufacturers, resulting the lower margins and higher costs.
Cost of Services
The cost of services was $583,435 and $1,616,125, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $2,572,151 and $2,784,836 for the corresponding three and six month period in 2010, respectively, a decrease of $1,988,716 and $1,168,711 or approximately 77.32% and 41.97%. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in service revenues.
The gross profit for services was $199,725 (25.5% margin) and $631,004 (28.08% margin), for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $620,049 (19.42% margin) and $733,615 (20.85% margin) for the corresponding period in 2010, respectively, a decrease of $420,324 and $102,611, or approximately 67.79% and 13.99%.
Cost of Projects
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. There was no project revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, therefore there was no cost of projects recognized during these periods. In 2011, we will continue to develop domestic financing resources and try to develop energy-saving projects.
12
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were $443,602 and $771,355 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $213,675 and $386,162 for the corresponding three and six months period in 2010, respectively, an increase of $229,927 and $385,193, or approximately 107.61% and 99.75%. The increase of operating expenses is primarily due to the Company receiving its land use rights for the new facility located in Yinzhou District Industrial Park, starting to pay the land use rights tax and occurring the amortization of intangible assets for the land use right. The Company also starts to pay the NASDAQ listing fees. There was an increase in legal and professional fees, and IR fees during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
The selling and marketing expenses were $26,873 and $44,137 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $14,905 and $32,652 for corresponding three and six months period in 2010, respectively, an increase of $11,968 and $11,485, or 80.30% and 35.17%. This increase is primarily due to the expenses of $15,271 incurred in the first half of 2011 for technology consultant services.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $416,729 and $727,218 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $198,770 and $353,510 for the corresponding three and six months period in 2010, respectively, an increase of $217,959 and $373,708 or approximately 109.65% and 105.71%. The increase of general and administrative expenses is primarily due to the Company receiving its land use right for the new facility located in Yinzhou District Industrial Park, and starting to pay the land use right tax. Moreover, the increase of general and administrative expenses is also due to an increase in legal and professional fees and IR fees during the six month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period for the prior year.
INCOME FROM OPERATIONS
Income from operations was $678,879 and $1,150,608, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $1,809,569 and $2,316,533 for the corresponding three and six months period in 2010, respectively, a decrease of $1,130,690 and $1,165,925 or approximately 62.48% and 50.33%. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in product revenue and the increase in operating expenses.
Other (Expenses) Income
Other expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were $82,049 and $203,863, as compared to $153,785 and $234,186, respectively, for the corresponding three and six months period in 2010, respectively, a decrease of $71,736 and $30,323, or approximately 46.65% and 12.95%. This is primarily due to the decrease in interest expense for the loans the company obtained from two Chinese financial institutions in December 2010 and February 2011, in the total amount of $3,094,059 (RMB 20 million). In addition, the expenses for the convertible note issued to the investors in 2010 was fully amortized in the first quarter of 2010, cause the decrease of the expense. Therefore, the interest expenses were $82,631 and $205,109 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $154,136 and $234,780 for the corresponding period in 2010, respectively, a decrease of $71,505 and $29,671 or approximately 46.39% and 12.64%.
Income Tax Expense
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, income tax expense was $98,200 and $155,789, respectively, as compared to $285,465 and $344,845 for the same period in 2010, respectively, a decrease of $187,265 and $189,056, or 65.60% and 54.82%. This decrease was due to the decrease in income tax. The Company continues to enjoy a tax holiday in the PRC due to Nengfa Energy's foreign company status. 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.
13
As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s operations in the United States of America have resulted in $2,530,402 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 2031, if not utilized. The Company has provided for a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets of $860,337 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 rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was 16.5%.
NET INCOME
Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were $498,630 and $790,956, respectively, as compared to $1,370,319 $1,737,502 for the corresponding three and six months period in 2010, respectively, a decrease of $871,689 and $946,546 or approximately 63.61% and 54.48%. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in product revenue and an increase the operating expenses as the Company started to pay its land use right tax on its new production facility. Therefore the overall net income decreased.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operating activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net cash used in operating activities was $628,488. This was attributable primarily to net income of $790,956, adjusted by non-cash items of depreciation and amortization of $289,976, non-cash interest expense of $70,271 and a $1,779,691 of net cash utilization from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The net cash utilization of $1,779,691 was due primarily to an increase in accounts and retention receivable by $653,791, an increase in inventories by $355,780, a decrease in prepayment and other receivable by $595,195, a decrease in the accounts payable by $1,213,686, a decrease in income tax payable of $57,797, and a decrease in other payables and accrued liabilities by $93,832 in this period.
As of June 30, 2011, our outstanding accounts receivable was $15,638,806. This large accounts receivable balance is mainly due to the large increase in re-processing contracts for making steel structured welding mechanical parts. These contracts are part of the Shenyang underground (metro) construction project, in the amount of RMB 9.74 million (approximately $1.49 million). Therefore the amount of accounts receivable and retention receivables at June 30, 2011 increased by $653,791 from December 31, 2010.
As of June 30, 2011, accounts receivable was $15,638,806, 76% of which is product revenue account receivable and 24% of which is service revenue 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 those accounting for at least 1% of the total accounts receivable. There is no credit risk from the Company’s customer’s balance sheet. As of June 30, 2011, the Company will consider an allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company’s accounts receivable aging was as follows:

Most of our customers make payments in accordance with the agreed payment terms in a timely manner. In rare cases, we may offer extended payment terms to certain customers for equipment sales. These customers are usually large state-owned corporations with good credit ratings. At the end of each period, we evaluate the structure and collectability of accounts receivable and for those receivables that are past due or not being paid according to the payment terms. We take appropriate action to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law, for its collection efforts.
We offer the customers a free 12 to 24 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 from 12 to 24 months, until the product warranty has expired.
In addition, it is the Company's 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 $355,780 is for the raw materials purchased in advance to meet the Company’s production needs, the increase reflects a reasonable inventory level which corresponds to a number of contracts for products which have not been delivered or recognized as revenue by June 30, 2011. The reason for the large decrease in the prepayments and other receivables of $595,195 as compared to the same period of 2010 is due to decreases in prepayments to vendors for raw materials. The accounts payable decreased by $1,213,686, this is mainly due to the Company having made payments to the vendors. Because the decrease in revenue, the income tax payable decreased $57,797 for six month period ended June 30, 2011. The decrease of $163,531 in other payables and accrued liabilities was due to the decrease of value added tax.
Investing activities
For six months ended June 30, 2011, the net cash used in investing activities was $2,566,246, which is mainly due to amounts paid to contractors or equipment vendors in connection with the construction of our new facility.
In 2008, the Company was approved by the local government to construct a new manufacturing facility for energy-saving products and equipment in Yinzhou District Industrial Park, Tieling City, Liaoning Province. Total estimated construction cost of the new manufacturing facility is approximately $16 million (including land use rights of approximately $3 million). The construction project was partially completed and put into operational use in the fourth quarter of 2010. The remainder of the construction project is expected to be fully completed during 2012.
The Company rents its current manufacturing facility from a third party. The current facility has a designed capacity of approximately 6,000 tons per year. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company utilized approximately 65% of its capacity. The new energy equipment manufacturing facility has two high standard numerical control machines installed. If fully operated, the new facility will have a designed capacity to manufacture approximately 20,000 tons of flow control equipment on a yearly basis. Upon completion, the estimated manufacturing capacity of the new facility will be more than three times the capacity of the Company’s previous facility.
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 six months ended June 30, 2011, net cash provided by financing activities was $2,755,141.
In 2010, the Company obtained a short-term bank loan of $1,5247,,029 (equivalent to RMB10,000,000) from a financial institution in the PRC, due December 21, 2011, which is secured by properties owned by its vendor and carries interest at a rate of 1.3 times the People’s Bank of China Benchmark Lending Rate, payable monthly. The borrowing is guaranteed by Mr. Gang Li (the Company’s CEO) and a related party to him.
In February 2011, the Company obtained another short-term bank loan of $1,547,030 (equivalent to RMB10,000,000) from a financial institution in the PRC, due February 16, 2012, which carries interest at a rate of 1.3 times the People’s Bank of China Benchmark Lending Rate, payable monthly. The borrowing was guaranteed by a guarantee company in Shenyang, with a monthly fee of $3,044 for a term of twelve months. The effective interest rate is 7.9628% per annum for the period ended June 30, 2011.
As of June 30, 2011, the amount due to a related party of $386,335 represented a temporary advance made by the Company’s major stockholder, which is controlled by Ms. Lihua Wang (the Company’s CFO) and Mr. Gang Li (the Company’s CEO), which is unsecured, interest-free and bears no fixed repayment term. Imputed interest on this amount is considered insignificant.
In June 2011, the Company obtained a new short-term loan of $1,500,000 from a related company which is controlled by Ms. Lihua Wang (the Company’s CFO) and Mr. Gang Li (the Company’s CEO), to repay a short-term loan due June 10, 2011. This note is unsecured, carries interest at 2.5% per annum, payable at maturity and repayable on May 31, 2012.
In March 2011, the Company obtained a short-term loan of $1,500,000 from an independent third party, due June 10, 2011. The borrowing carries interest at 2.5% per annum, payable at maturity. The loan was repaid in full at maturity.
We anticipate we will need additional working capital in 2011 and beyond to fund the Company’s new business plans to establish a manufacturing base for new green 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, steam heat energy saving projects and bio-mass gas generation. Furthermore, we may consider expanding the Company’s business lines. In order to maintain our leading position in energy-efficient flow control equipment manufacturing in China, we anticipate a continued and steady growth of the manufacture and sale of our flow control equipment. We may decide to pursue additional investments through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities or debt financing to obtain the additional cash resources to fund our business and other future projects; However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funds on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. If we cannot obtain 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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Robert E. Dawley v. NF Energy Corp. of America, M.D. Fla. case no. 6:10-cv-1015-Orl-22DAB. Robert Dawley commenced this action in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against the Company, Mr. Gang Li and the Company's litigation counsel on October 1, 2010. The allegations in this action are identical to those that Dawley raised in a prior proceeding in which the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit entered judgment against him and in favor of the Company.
Upon motion of the Defendants, in an order dated December 29, 2010, the District Court dismissed six of Dawley’s ten claims on the grounds that they were precluded by the Eleventh Circuit’s prior judgment. Dawley attempted to appeal the District Court’s order to the Eleventh Circuit. (Dawley v. NF Energy Saving Corp. of America, U.S.C.A. 11th Cir. appeal no. 11-10201-F.) But, the Eleventh Circuit dismissed Dawley’s appeal as premature. Dawley asked the Eleventh Circuit to reconsider, but it declined.
The District Court, in an order dated July 19, 2011, dismissed Dawley’s remaining four claims with prejudice on the grounds that he had failed to plead them with the specificity required by law. The District Court then entered Judgment against him on July 20, 2011. Dawley filed a Notice of Appeal of the District Court’s Judgment on July 25, 2011.
