FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
Statements
made in this Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) that are not historical or
current facts are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”),
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”). These statements often can be identified by the use of terms
such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate”,
“approximate”, or “continue”, or the negative thereof. Equicap, Inc. (the
“Company”) intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe
harbors for such statements. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place
undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of
the date made. Any forward-looking statements represent management’s best
judgment as to what may occur in the future. However, forward-looking statements
are subject to risks, uncertainties and important factors beyond the control of
the Company that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from
historical results of operations and events and those presently anticipated or
projected. These factors include our current dependence on a limited number of
products and customers, the focus of the business on the gear and gearbox
(transmission) markets in the Peoples Republic of China, the need to develop new
products and create demand for them, the effect of the global recession and
availability of credit, pricing pressures on our products and margins, product
quality, customer satisfaction and the ability to sustain and grow sales and
expand the customer base, warranty obligations and claims, operating a business
primarily in the Peoples Republic of China, currency controls and exchange rate
exposure, and the other risk factors discussed in our reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company disclaims any obligation to
revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after
the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or
unanticipated events.

EQUICAP,
INC.
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
March
31, 2010 and 2009
(Unaudited)
Note
1 – Organization and Nature of Business
Equicap,
Inc. (“Equicap” or “the Company”), a Nevada corporation, is a manufacturer and
distributor of gears and gearboxes, which are marketed and sold to customers in
China.
On July
6, 2007, the Board of Directors of Zhejiang Zhongchai Machinery Co., Ltd.
(“Zhongchai”), the China based and 75% owned subsidiary of the Company, approved
and finalized a Share Purchase Agreement (“Share Purchase Agreement”) with
Xinchang Keyi Machinery Co., Ltd., (“Keyi”) a corporation incorporated in the
People’s Republic of China. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, Zhongchai
purchased all the outstanding equity of Zhejiang Shengte Transmission Co., Ltd.
(“Shengte”) from Keyi, the sole owner of Shengte for approximately $3.7
million.
On March
7, 2007, the Company and Usunco Automotive, Ltd. (“Usunco”), a British Virgin
Islands company, entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”)
which was consummated on March 9, 2007. Under the terms of the Exchange
Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity securities of
Usunco in exchange for 18,323,944 shares of the Company’s common
stock.
For
accounting purposes, because the Company had been a public shell company prior
to the share exchange, the share exchange was treated as a recapitalization of
the Company. As such, the historical financial information prior to
the share exchange is that of Usunco and its subsidiaries. Historical share
amounts have been restated to reflect the effect of the share
exchange.
On June
18, 2006, Usunco acquired 100% of IBC Automotive Products Inc (“IBC”), a
California Corporation as of May 14, 2004 (date of inception), through a Share
Exchange Agreement of 28% of Usunco’s shares. IBC was considered a “predecessor”
business to Usunco as its operations constituted the business activities of
Usunco formed to consummate the acquisition of IBC. The consolidated
financial statements reflect all predecessor statements of income and cash flow
activities from the inception of IBC in May 2004.
On June
15, 2009, IBC was sold to certain of the management persons of IBC in exchange
for the following: (i) the cancellation of an aggregate of 555,994 shares of
common stock of the Company which those individuals owned, and (ii) the payment
of $60,000 in installments pursuant to the terms of an unsecured promissory
note, the final payment of which will be November 15, 2010. As part of the
transaction, the Company cancelled $428,261 through the closing date, of
inter-company debt which funds had been used in the business of IBC prior to the
transaction.
On
September 22, 2009, Xinchang Xian Lisheng Machinery Co., Ltd. (“Lisheng”) was
incorporated by Zhongchai and two individual investors. Total registered capital
of Lisheng is RMB 5 million, of which Zhongchai accounts for 60%. The Company
plans to start production of die casting products in 2010 for use in gearboxes,
diesel engines and other machinery products.
On
December 16, 2009, Equicap and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Usunco and
Zhongchai Holding (Hong Kong) Limited, a Hong Kong company (“Zhongchai
Holding”), took action to approve transfer of the shares of Zhejiang Zhongchai
Machinery Co., from Usunco to Zhongchai Holding. The transfer was completed on
December 23, 2009. The purpose of the transfer was to take advantage of the tax
treaty between the Peoples Republic of China and the Special Administrative
Region of Hong Kong which reduces the withholding tax rate of the PRC on
payments to entities outside of China. Usunco no longer has any assets after
transferring all of them to Zhongchai Holding and therefore will be dissolved in
the future. The consolidated financial statements will continue to account for
Zhejiang Zhongchai Machinery Co., in the same manner as before the transfer of
the ownership. Shareholder approval by the shareholders of Equicap was not
required under Nevada law, as there was no sale of all or substantially all the
assets of the company. The shareholder ownership and shareholder rights of
Equicap remain the same as before the transaction.

Note
2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Equicap,
Inc. and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances
and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and
the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for complete financial statements. Interim results are
not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim
periods have been included.
In
preparing the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, we
evaluated the period from March 31, 2010 through the date the financial
statements were issued, for material subsequent events requiring recognition or
disclosure. No such events were identified for this period.
Interim
Financial Statements
These
interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s
audited financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, as not
all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements are presented.
The interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods
of computations as the audited financial statements for the years ended June 30,
2009 and 2008.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
On July
1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) officially launched
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which has become the single
official source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP, in addition to
guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The ASC is designed
to simplify U.S. GAAP into a single, topically ordered structure. All guidance
contained in the ASC carries an equal level of authority. The ASC is effective
for all interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The
Company’s implementation of this guidance effective July 1, 2009 did not have a
material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial
statements.
On July
1, 2009, the Company adopted the accounting and disclosure requirements of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 160, Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51,
which is now included with ASC Topic 810 Consolidation. This standard
establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership
interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation. On a
prospective basis, any changes in ownership will be accounted for as equity
transactions with no gain or loss recognized on the transactions unless there is
a change in control.
Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill
represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets
of acquired businesses. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite
lives are not amortized. All other intangible assets are amortized over their
estimated useful lives. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are
subject to annual impairment test using the guidance and criteria described in
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, (ASC 350) “Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets”. This test compares carrying values to fair values and,
when appropriate, the carrying value of these assets is reduced to fair
value.
Reclassification
Certain
amounts as of March 31, 2009 were reclassified for presentation
purposes.
6
Note
3 – Accounts Receivable
Trade
accounts receivable are stated at original invoice amount less allowance for
doubtful receivables based on management’s periodic review of aging of
outstanding balances and customer credit history. If the financial condition of
the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their
ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
The
balance of allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $18,189 and $7,732 as of
March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively.

14 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The
Company presents earnings (loss) per share on a basic and diluted basis. Basic
earnings (loss) per share have been computed by dividing net earnings by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share
has been computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of
shares outstanding including the dilutive effect of equity securities. All share
and per share data have been adjusted to reflect the recapitalization of the
Company after the share exchange agreement with Usunco. The weighted average
number of shares calculated for Diluted EPS excludes the potential common stock
that would be exercised under the options granted to employees and warrants
granted to agents because of their anti-dilutive effect.

As of
March 31, 2010, there were 366,550 outstanding options to employees (“Employee
Options”) and 422,535 outstanding warrants to the private placement agent
(“Agent Warrants”). Both the Employee Options and Agent Warrants vest over three

measurement date using Black-Scholes pricing model using the following
assumptions: volatility of 34.94%, risk free interest rate of 4.63%, dividend
yield of 0%, and expected life of 5 years. No estimate of forfeitures was made
as the Company has a short history of granting options and
warrants.
Note
16 – Employee
Welfare Plan

Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5, fraud, fraudulent inducement, professional
malpractice and negligent misrepresentation arising out of the private placement
closed on March 7, 2007. The action was settled by an agreement dated July 31,

2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations or Plan of
Operations.
Equicap,
Inc. (“Equicap”), a Nevada corporation, does business through its subsidiary,
Zhongchai Holding (Hong Kong) Limited, a Hong Kong company (“Zhongchai
Holding”), which in turn operates through Zhejiang ZhongChai Machinery Co., Ltd.
(the “ZhongChai JV”), a 75%-owned joint venture established under the laws of
the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”), Zhejiang Shengte
Transmission Co., Ltd. (“Shengte”) a company established under the laws of the
PRC and wholly owned by ZhongChai JV, and Xinchang Xian Lisheng Machinery Co.,
Ltd. (“Lisheng”), a company established under the laws of the PRC and 60% owned
by ZhongChai JV. Through its operating subsidiaries, Equicap is
currently engaged in the manufacturing and sale of gears and gearboxes
(transmissions) in China.
Results
of Operations
Three
Months Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,
2009
Sales
Sales
increased by $2,225,383 or 228% to $3,202,350 for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 compared to $976,967 for the three months ended March
31, 2009. Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010 consisted solely of
sales of gears and gearboxes in China, as a result of the Company’s sale of IBC,
the North America / Auto Parts segment in June 2009. Sales for the three months
ended March 31, 2009, consisted of sales of automotive parts in North America
and sales of gears and gearboxes in China, for $241,374 and $735,593,
respectively. The sales of gears and gearboxes for the period grew by approximately 335%
compared to the sales of the same products in China for the comparable period in
the prior fiscal year. The increase in gear and gearbox sales was
attributable to the Company’s introduction of new gearbox products, expansion in
production capacity and its continued marketing efforts to develop its customer
base. Sales during the period were also beneficially affected by the
recovery of the domestic market in China for gear and gearbox products as a
result of Chinese government’s economic stimulus plan.
Cost
of Sales and Gross Profit Margin
Cost of
sales was $2,454,953 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, increasing by
$1,684,407, or 219%, from $770,546 for the three months ended March 31,
2009. The gross profit margin was approximately 23% for the three months ended
March 31, 2010, compared to approximately 20% (excluding auto parts business)
for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in gross profit
margin in this quarter as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year
was attributable mainly to the decrease in gearbox unit cost and therefore the
increase in gearbox margin after the expansion in gearbox production capacity
and sales.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
Selling,
general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consisted primarily of labor
costs and overhead costs for sales, marketing, finance, legal, human resources
and general management. Such costs also include the expenses recognized for
stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS 123R (ASC 718).
11
SG&A
expenses decreased by $339,052 to $284,340 in the three months ended March
31, 2010, from $623,392 in three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease
primarily was attributable to the exclusion of the expenses associated with IBC,
reduction in rental expense for less office space leased, and reduction in some
professional and consulting service expenses due to less capital market related
services incurred in the period compared to the same period in the prior fiscal
year.
Net
Income (Loss)
Net
income was $263,861 in three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to a net loss
of ($319,817) in the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Company became
profitable in the quarter mainly attributable to increased sales and gross
profit and lower operating expenses.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable was $2,426,475 after reduction of $18,189 for doubtful accounts at
March 31, 2010, compared to accounts receivable of $1,540,402 after reduction of
$7,732 for doubtful accounts at June 31, 2009. The increase in the amount of
accounts receivable is mainly attributable to the increased operations of the
Company during the period reported upon. The payment term for sold products
usually is 60-90 days, and, to date, it has experienced that the accounts
receivable are within the payment terms.
Note
Receivable
Notes
receivable was $1,058,565 at March 31, 2010, compared to $448,655 at June 31,
2009. The increase in the amount was from the increase sales of products. Of the
total amount, $46,000 was an unpaid balance of promissory notes due from two
individuals, and $1,012,565 was from product sales to customers using
bank accepted forward notes.
Nine
Months Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to Nine Months Ended March 31,
2009
Sales
Sales increased
by $4,056,515 or 136% to $7,040,579 for the nine months ended March
31, 2010 compared to $2,984,064 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Sales
for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 consisted solely of sales of gears and
gearboxes in China, as a result of the Company’s sale of IBC, the North America
/ Auto Parts segment in June 2009. Sales for the nine months ended March 31,
2009, consisted of sales of automotive parts in North America and sales of gears
and gearboxes in China, for $869,407 and $2,114 ,657, respectively. The sales of
gears and gearboxes for the period grew by approximately
233% compared to the sales of the same products in China for same period in
the prior fiscal year. The increase in gears and gearboxes sales was
attributable to the Company’s introduction of new gearbox products, expansion in
production capacity and its continued marketing efforts to develop its customer
base. Sales during the period were also beneficially affected by the
recovery of the domestic market in China for gear and gearbox products as a
result of Chinese government’s economic stimulus plan.
Cost
of Sales and Gross Profit Margin
Cost of
sales was $5,481,480 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, increasing by
$3,164,950 or 137%, from $2,316,530 for the nine months ended March 31,
2009. The gross profit margin was approximately 22% for the nine months ended
March 31, 2010, compared to approximately 24% (excluding auto parts business)
for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in gross profit margin in
the period as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year was
attributable mainly to a general decrease in gear prices and the launch of new
gearbox products, the margin of which is lower than for gears. The shift in
product mix and development of new products has been implemented by the Company
as a strategy to quickly penetrate the market for its products and build
sales.
12
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
Selling,
general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consisted primarily of labor
costs and overhead costs for sales, marketing, finance, legal, human resources
and general management. Such costs also include the expenses recognized for
stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS 123R (ASC 718).
SG&A
expenses decreased by $689,078 to $916,530 in the nine months ended March
31, 2010, from $1,605,608 in nine months ended March 31, 2009. The
decrease primarily was attributable to the exclusion of the expenses associated
with IBC, reduction in rental expense for less office space leased, and
reduction in some professional and consulting service expenses due to less
capital market related services incurred in the period compared to the same
period in the prior fiscal year.
Net
Income (Loss)
Net
income was $281,838 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, compared to a net
loss of ($817,056) for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The Company became
profitable for the period mainly attributable to increased revenue and gross
profit and lower operating expenses.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
March 31, 2010, Equicap had current assets equal to $12,249,212, current
liabilities equal to $5,480,930 and working capital of $6,768,282. Equicap
believes that it has sufficient operating capital for its current
operations.
Operating
Activities
Net cash
used in operating activities was approximately $0.48 million for the nine months
ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $3.43 million net cash provided by
operating activities for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The change
was because Zhongchai was refunded approximately $3.4 million out of the total
$5 million advance payment from Zhejiang Xinchai Holdings Co., Ltd. ( "Xinchai
Holdings"), a corporation in China, in the nine months ended March 31, 2009.
This amount was used to secure Zhongchai's exclusive right to acquire 100%
interest of a project from Xinchai Holdings. Zhongchai, however, decided not to
pursue the project, and Xinchai Holding agreed to refund the
payment.
Investing
Activities
Net cash
used in investing activities was $2.72 million for the nine-month period ended
March 31, 2010, increased from $0.45 million for the same period in fiscal year
2009. The increase was mainly due to $2.2 million advance payment made during
the nine-month period ended March 31, 2010. The advance payment was made
by the Zhongchai JV to Xinchai Holdings, for the purchase of land use rights and
building for Zhongchai JV’s future expansion of its production
capabilities.
Financing
Activities
Net cash
used in financing activities was $0.48 million for the nine-month period
ended March 31, 2010. During this period, the Company repaid bank loan of $0.78
million. There was also $0.29 million capital contribution to Lisheng from
minority shareholders.
As
Equicap expands its operations and considers additional acquisitions of private
companies, divisions or product lines, it may require additional capital for its
business development and operations. Equicap does not have any
specific sources of capital at this time, therefore, it would need to find
additional funding for its capitalization needs. Such capital may be
in the form of either debt or equity or a combination. To the extent
that financing is in the form of debt, it is anticipated that the terms will
include various restrictive covenants, affirmative covenants and credit
enhancements such as guarantees or security interests. The terms of
any proposed financing may not be acceptable to Equicap. There is no
assurance that funding will be identified or accepted by Equicap or, that if
offered, it will be concluded.
13
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
The
Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other
relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as
“special purpose entities” (SPEs).
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Please
refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
June 30, 2009, for disclosures regarding Equicap Inc.’s critical accounting
policies and estimates. The interim financial statements follow the
same accounting policies and methods of computations as those for the year ended
June 30, 2009. There was no new accounting policies and estimates
during the period ended March 31, 2010 which affects the Company.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
On July
1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) officially launched
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which has become the single
official source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP, in addition to
guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The ASC is designed
to simplify U.S. GAAP into a single, topically ordered structure. All guidance
contained in the ASC carries an equal level of authority. The ASC is effective
for all interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Accordingly,
the Company refers to Codification in respect to the appropriate accounting
standards throughout this document as “ASC”. Implementation of the Codification
did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The
information is not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item
4. Controls and
Procedures.
As of the
end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation,
under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on
this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that
it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange
Commission rules and forms. There was no change in the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed
fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
