PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

COMPANY HISTORY

China Automotive Systems, Inc., “China Automotive” or the “Company”, was incorporated in the State of Delaware on June 29, 1999 under the name Visions-In-Glass, Inc.

On or around March 5, 2003, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Great Genesis Holdings Limited, “Genesis”, a corporation organized under the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China, by issuance of 20,914,250 shares of common stock to certain sellers. After the acquisition, the Company continued the operations of Genesis. Presently, Genesis owns interests in eight Sino-joint ventures, which manufacture power steering systems and/or related products for different segments of the automobile industry in China.

On May 19, 2003, the Company changed its name from Visions-In-Glass, Inc. to China Automotive Systems, Inc.

Since December 17, 2009, Hanlin Chen, Qizhou Wu, Robert Tung, Bruce C. Richardson, Guangxun Xu, and William E. Thomson began serving their terms as members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The directors appointed Hanlin Chen as the chairman of the Board, Qizhou Wu as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Jie Li as Chief Financial Officer.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Unless the context indicates otherwise, the Company uses the terms “the Company”, “we”, “our” and “us” to refer to Genesis and China Automotive collectively on a consolidated basis. The Company is a holding company and has no significant business operations or assets other than its interest in Genesis. Through Genesis, the Company manufactures power steering systems and other component parts for automobiles. All operations are conducted through eight Sino-foreign joint ventures in China and a wholly-owned subsidiary in the U.S. set forth below is an organizational chart as at December 31, 2009.

“Testing Center”

Jiulong was established in 1993 and is mainly engaged in the production of integral power steering gear for heavy-duty vehicles.

Henglong was established in 1997 and is mainly engaged in the production of rack and pinion power steering gear for cars and light duty vehicles.

On March 31, 2008, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Genesis, and Wiselink Holdings Limited, “Wiselink”, both controlled by Hanlin Chen and his family, entered into an equity transfer agreement, the “Henglong Agreement”, pursuant to which Wiselink agreed to transfer and assign its 35.5% equity interest in Henglong, one of the Company’s currently consolidated subsidiaries, to Genesis for a total consideration of $32,090,000. The Company now holds an 80% equity interest in Jingzhou Henglong.

In December 2009, Henglong, a subsidiary of Genesis, formed Jingzhou Henglong Automotive Technology (Testing) Center (“Testing Center”), which is mainly engaged in research and development of new products. The registered capital of Testing Center is RMB 30,000,000 ($4,393,544 equivalent).

Under the terms of the Henglong Agreement, Genesis is deemed to be the owner of Jingzhou Henglong commencing from January 1, 2008. The Henglong acquisition is considered as a business combination of companies under common control and is being accounted for in a manner of pooling of interests.

Shenyang was established in 2002 and focuses on power steering parts for light duty vehicles.

Zhejiang was established in 2002 to focus on power steering pumps.

USAI was established in 2005 and is mainly engaged in the production and sales of sensor modules.

In 2008, Genesis and Shanghai Hongxi Investment Inc., “Hongxi”, the other shareholder of USAI, agreed to increase USAI’s capital to $2,600,000 from $1,800,000. The increased capital was wholly funded by Genesis. Therefore, the capital contributed by Genesis in USAI increased to $2,166,900 from $1,366,900, accounting for 83.34% of the total capital; while the capital contributed by Hongxi remained unchanged, accounting for 16.66% of the total capital.

Wuhu was established in 2006 and is mainly engaged in the production and sales of automobile steering systems.

Jielong was established in 2006 and is mainly engaged in the production and sales of electric power steering gear, “EPS”.

On March 7, 2007, Genesis established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Jingzhou Hengsheng Automotive System Co., Ltd, “Hengsheng”, to engage in production and sales of automotive steering systems. The registered capital of Hengsheng is $10,000,000.

The Company has business relations with more than sixty vehicle manufacturers, including FAW Group and Dongfeng Auto Group, two of the five largest automobile manufacturers in China; Shenyang Brilliance Jinbei Co., Ltd., the largest light vehicle manufacturer in China; Chery Automobile Co., Ltd, the largest state owned car manufacturer in China, Xi’an BYD Auto Co., Ltd and Zhejiang Geely Automobile Co., Ltd., the largest private owned car manufacturers. From 2008, the Company has supplied power steering pumps and power steering gear to the Sino-Foreign joint ventures established by General Motors (GM), Citroen and Volkswagen. In 2009, the Company began to supply power steering gear to Chrysler North America.

The Company currently owns two trademarks covering automobile parts and twelve Chinese patents covering power steering technology. The Company is in the process of integrating new advanced technologies such as electronic chips in power steering systems into its current production line and is pursuing aggressive strategies in technology to maintain a competitive edge within the automobile industry. In 2001, the Company signed a Ten-Year Licensing Agreement with Bishop Steering Technology Limited, a leader in automotive steering gear technology innovation which offers advanced technology for steering valves within the contract period. In 2003, the Company signed a Technology Transfer Agreement with Nanyang Ind. Co. Ltd., a leading steering column maker, for the technology necessary for electronic power steering (EPS) systems. In addition, the Company established with Tsinghua University a steering systems research institute designed to develop Electronic Power Steering (EPS) and Electronic Hydraulic Steering Systems (EHPS).

STRATEGIC PLAN

The Company’s short to medium term strategic plan is to focus on both domestic and international market expansion. To achieve this goal and higher profitability, the Company focuses on brand recognition, quality control, decreasing costs, research and development and strategic acquisitions. Set forth below are the Company’s programs:

- Brand Recognition. Under the Henglong and Jiulong brands, the Company offers four separate series of power steering sets and 310 models of power steering sets, steering columns, steering oil pumps and steering hoses.

-Quality Control. The Henglong and Jiulong manufacturing facilities passed the ISO/TS 16949 System Certification in January 2004, a well-recognized quality control system in the auto industry developed by TUVRheindland of Germany.

- Decrease Cost. By improving the Company’s production ability and enhancing equipment management, optimizing the process and products structure, perfecting the supplier system and cutting production cost, the Company’s goal is to achieve a more competitive profit margin.

- Research and Development. By partnering with Bishop Steering Technology Limited, Nanyang Ind. Co. Ltd. and Tsinghua University for the development of advanced steering systems, the Company’s objective is to gain increased market share in China.

- International Expansion. The Company has entered into agreements with several international vehicle manufacturers and auto parts modules suppliers and carried on preliminary negotiations regarding future development projects.

- Acquisitions. The Company is exploring opportunities to create long-term growth through new ventures or acquisitions of other auto component manufacturers. The Company will seek acquisition targets that fulfill the following criteria: ·

companies that can be easily integrated into product manufacturing and corporate management;

companies that have strong joint venture partners that would become major customers; and

companies involved with power steering systems or oil pump.

CUSTOMERS

The Company’s ten largest customers represent 80.2% of the Company’s total sales for the year ended December 31, 2009. The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s ten largest customers.

Name of Major Customers	Percentage of Total Revenue in 2009
BYD Auto Co., Ltd		14.8	%
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd		12.0	%
Beiqi Foton Motor Co., Ltd.		10.4	%
Zhejiang Geely Holding Co., Ltd		10.0	%
Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Limited		9.2	%
Dongfeng Auto Group Co., Ltd		7.8	%
China FAW Group Corporation		5.5	%
Great Wall Motor Company Limited		4.5	%
Chrysler Group LLC		3.8	%
Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group		2.2	%
Total		80.2	%

The Company primarily sells its products to the above-mentioned customers; it also has excellent relationships with them, including as their first-ranking supplier and developer for new product development for new models. While the Company intends to continue to focus on retaining and winning this business, it cannot ensure that it will succeed in doing so. It is difficult to keep these contracts as a result of severe price competition and customers’ diversification of their supply base. The Company’s business would be materially and adversely affected if it loses one or more of these major customers.

SALES AND MARKETING

The Company’s sales and marketing team has 105 sales persons, which are divided into an original equipment manufacturing, “OEM”, team, a sales service team and a working group dedicated to international business. These sales and marketing teams provide a constant interface with the Company’s key customers. They are located in all major vehicle producing regions to more effectively represent the Company’s customers’ interests within the Company’s organization, to promote their programs and to coordinate their strategies with the goal of enhancing overall service and satisfaction. The Company’s ability to support its customers is further enhanced by its broad presence in terms of sales offices, manufacturing facilities, engineering technology centers and joint ventures.

The Company’s sales and marketing organization and activities are designed to create overall awareness and consideration of, and therefore to increase sales of, the Company’s modular systems and components. To achieve that objective, the Company organized delegations to visit the United States, Korea, India and Japan and has supplied power steering gear to Chrysler North America. Through these activities, the Company has generated potential business interest as a strong base for future development.

DISTRIBUTION

The Company’s distribution system covers all of China. The Company has established sales and service offices with certain significant customers to deal with matters related to such customers in a timely fashion. The Company also established distribution warehouses close to major customers to ensure timely deliveries. The Company maintains strict control over inventories. Each of these sales and service offices sends back to the Company through e-mail or fax information related to the inventory and customers’ needs. The Company guarantees product delivery in 8 hours for those customers who are located within 200 km from the Company’s distribution warehouses, and 24 hours for customers who are located outside of 200 km from the Company’s distribution warehouses. Delivery time is a very important competitive factor in terms of customer decision making, together with quality, pricing and long-term relationships.

EMPLOYEES AND FACILITIES

As of December 31, 2009, the Company employed approximately 2,944 persons, including approximately 1,940 by Henglong and Jiulong, approximately 294 by Shenyang, approximately 293 by Zhejiang, approximately 38 by USAI, approximately 135 by Wuhu, approximately 202 by Hengsheng, and 5 by Henglong USA.

As of December 31, 2009, each of Henglong and Jiulong, Shenyang, Zhejiang, Wuhu, Jielong, and Hengsheng has a manufacturing and administration area of 278,092 square meters, 35,354 square meters, 100,000 square meters, 83,700 square meters, 105,735 square meters, and 170,520 square meters, respectively.

Hubei Province, which is home to Dongfeng, one of the largest automakers in China, provides an ample supply of inexpensive but skilled labor to automotive-related industries. The annual production of the Company’s main product, power steering gear, was approximately 2,200,000 units and 1,290,000 units in 2009 and 2008 respectively. Although the production process continues to rely heavily on manual labor, the Company has invested substantially in high-level production machinery to improve capacity and production quality. Approximately $43.6 million was spent over the last three years on professional-grade equipment and workshops — approximately 87% of which has been used in the production process as of December 31, 2009.

RAW MATERIALS

The Company purchases various manufactured components and raw materials for use in its manufacturing processes. The principal components and raw materials the Company purchases include castings, electronic parts, molded plastic parts, finished sub-components, fabricated metal, aluminum and steel. The most important raw material is steel. The Company enters into purchase agreements with local suppliers. The annual purchase plans are determined at the beginning of the calendar year but are subject to revision every three months as a result of customers’ orders. A purchase order is made according to monthly production plans. This protects the Company from building up inventory when the orders from customers change.

The Company’s purchases from its ten largest suppliers represent in the aggregate 26.4% of all components and raw materials it purchased for the year ended December 31, 2009, and none of them providing more than 10% of total purchases.

All components and raw materials are available from numerous sources. The Company has not, in recent years, experienced any significant shortages of manufactured components or raw materials and normally does not carry inventories of these items in excess of what is reasonably required to meet its production and shipping schedules.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Company has a ten-year consulting and licensing agreement with Bishop Steering Technology Ltd, one of the leading design firms in power steering systems. Bishop’s technology in power steering systems is currently used by carmakers such as BMW and Mercedes Benz. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has implemented the Bishop steering valve technology into the Henglong brand R&P power steering gear.

The Company owns a Hubei Provincial-Level Technical Center, which has been approved by the Hubei Economic Commission. The center has a staff of 211, including 13 senior engineers, 2 foreign experts and 102 engineers, primarily focused on steering system R&D, tests, production process improvement and new material and production methodology application.

In addition, the Company has partnered with Tsinghua University to establish a steering system research center, called Tsinghua Henglong Automobile Steering Research Institute, for the purposes of R&D and experimentation for Electronic Power Steering, “EPS”.

The Company believes that its engineering and technical expertise, together with its emphasis on continuing research and development, allow it to use the latest technologies, materials and processes to solve problems for its customers and to bring new, innovative products to market. The Company believes that continued research and development activities, including engineering, are critical to maintaining its pipeline of technologically advanced products. The Company has aggressively managed costs in other portions of its business in order to maintain its total expenditures for research and development activities, including engineering, at approximately $2,560,000, $2,260,000, and $1,700,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. In 2009, the sales of newly developed products accounted for about 26.7% of total sales.

COMPETITION

The automotive components industry is extremely competitive. Criteria for the Company’s customers include quality, price/cost competitiveness, system and product performance, reliability and timeliness of delivery, new product and technology development capability, excellence and flexibility in operations, degree of global and local presence, effectiveness of customer service and overall management capability. The power steering system market is fragmented in China, and the Company has seven major competitors. Of these competitors, two are Sino-foreign joint ventures while the other five are state-owned. Like many competitive industries, there is downward pressure on selling prices.

The Company’s major competitors, including Shanghai ZF and FKS, are component suppliers to specific automobile manufacturers. Shanghai ZF is the joint venture of SAIC and ZF Germany, which is an exclusive supplier to SAIC-Volkswagen and SAIC-GM. First Auto FKS is a joint venture between First Auto Group and Japan’s Koyo Company and its main customer is FAW-Volkswagen Company.

While the Chinese Government limits foreign ownership of auto assemblers to 50%, there is no analogous limitation in the automotive components industry. Thus, opportunities exist for foreign component suppliers to set up factories in China. These overseas competitors employ technology that may be more advanced and may have existing relationships with global automobile assemblers, but they are generally not as competitive as the Company in China in terms of production cost and flexibility in meeting client requirements.

CHINESE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

The Company is a supplier of automotive parts and most of its operations are located in China. An increase or decrease in the output and sales of Chinese vehicles could result in an increase or decrease of the Company’s results of operations. According to the latest statistics from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, “CAAM”, in 2009, the output and sales volume of vehicles in China have reached 13,791,000 and 13,645,000 units respectively, with an increase of 48.3% and 46.2% compared to 2008. The output and sales volume of passenger vehicles have reached 10,384,000 and 10,331,000 units respectively, with an increase of 54.1% and 52.9% compared to 2008. The output and sales volume of commercial vehicles have reached 3,407,200 and 3,313,500 units respectively, with an increase of 33.0% and 28.4% compared to 2008. Accordingly, the Company’s sales of steering gear for passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles and steering pumps in 2009 increased by 60.4%, 46.8% and 57.7% compared with the year 2008.

To bolster auto consumption in China, the government continued a series of stimulus measures including a reduction in purchase taxes of 25% on smaller cars, scrapping some road fees and granting subsidies for farmers who trade in their polluting vehicles for more fuel-efficient ones.

CHINESE ECONOMY

Management believes that the most important factor in understanding the Chinese automobile industry is the country’s rapid economic growth. During 2008, Chinese economic growth slowed down, as it suffered from the global financial crisis since the third quarter of 2008. In early 2009, a series of economic stimulation policies were issued by the Chinese Government, which rapidly reversed the great drop on economic growth. According to data from the State Statistical Bureau, Chinese economic growth reached 8.7% in 2009. With incentives provided by Government action, management believes that the investment by Chinese enterprises and consumption by Chinese residents will continue to increase relatively rapidly in 2010.

Management believes that the continued investment and consumption growth will have a favorable effect on the sales of commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles.

HIGHWAY DEVELOPMENT

Management believes that the continuing development of the highway system will have a significant positive impact on the manufacture and sale of private automobiles. Statistics from the Ministry of Communications show that 980,000 kilometers of highway and 4,719 kilometers of expressway were developed in 2009. Total highways and expressways now amount to 3,771,000 kilometers and 65,020 kilometers, respectively.

DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA

CHINESE LEGAL SYSTEM

The practical effect of the Chinese legal system on the Company’s business operations in China can be viewed from two separate but intertwined considerations. First, as a matter of substantive law, the Foreign Invested Enterprise Laws provide significant protection from government interference. In addition, these laws guarantee the full enjoyment of the benefits of corporate articles and contracts to Foreign Invested Enterprise participants. These laws, however, do impose standards concerning corporate formation and governance, which are not qualitatively different from the general corporation laws of other countries. Similarly, the Chinese accounting laws mandate accounting practices, which are not consistent with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Chinese accounting laws require that an annual “statutory audit” be performed in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and that the books of account of Foreign Invested Enterprises be maintained in accordance with Chinese accounting laws. Article 14 of the People’s Republic of China Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise Law requires a Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise to submit certain periodic fiscal reports and statements to designated financial and tax authorities. Otherwise, there is risk that its business license will be revoked.

Second, while the enforcement of substantive rights may appear less clear than those in the United States, the Foreign Invested Enterprises and Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprises are Chinese registered companies which enjoy the same status as other Chinese registered companies in business dispute resolution. Because the terms of the Company’s various Articles of Association provide that all business disputes pertaining to Foreign Invested Enterprises will be resolved by the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce in Stockholm, Sweden applying Chinese substantive law, the Chinese minority partner in the Company’s joint venture companies will not assume any advantageous position regarding such disputes. Any award rendered by this arbitration tribunal is, by the express terms of the various Articles of Association, enforceable in accordance with the “United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (1958).” Therefore, as a practical matter, although no assurances can be given, the Chinese legal infrastructure, while different from its United States counterpart, should not present any significant impediment to the operation of Foreign Invested Enterprises.

ECONOMIC REFORM ISSUES

Although the Chinese Government owns the majority of productive assets in China, in the past several years the Government has implemented economic reform measures that emphasize decentralization and encourage private economic activity. Because these economic reform measures may be inconsistent or ineffectual, there is no assurance that:

The Company will be able to capitalize on economic reforms;

The Chinese Government will continue its pursuit of economic reform policies;

The economic policies, even if pursued, will be successful;

Economic policies will not be significantly altered from time to time; and

Business operations in China will not become subject to the risk of nationalization.

Negative impact resulting from economic reform policies or nationalization could result in a total investment loss in the Company’s common stock.

Since 1979, the Chinese Government has reformed its economic system. Because many reforms are unprecedented or experimental, they are expected to be refined and readjusted. Other political, economic and social factors, such as political changes, changes in the rates of economic growth, unemployment or inflation, or disparities in per capita wealth between regions within China, could lead to further readjustment of the reform measures. This refining and readjustment process may negatively affect the Company’s operations.

Over the last few years, China’s economy has registered a high growth rate. Recently, there have been indications that the rate of inflation has increased. In response, the Chinese Government recently has taken measures to curb the excessively expansive economy. These measures included implementation of a unitary and well-managed floating exchange rate system based on market supply and demand for the exchange rates of Renminbi, restrictions on the availability of domestic credit, reduction of the purchasing capability of its citizens, and centralization of the approval process for purchases of certain limited foreign products. These austerity measures alone may not succeed in slowing down the economy’s excessive expansion or control inflation, and may result in severe dislocations in the Chinese economy. The Chinese Government may adopt additional measures to further combat inflation, including the establishment of freezes or restraints on certain projects or markets.

To date reforms to China’s economic system have not adversely affected the Company’s operations and are not expected to adversely affect the Company’s operations in the foreseeable future; however, there can be no assurance that reforms to China’s economic system will continue or that the Company will not be adversely affected by changes in China’s political, economic, and social conditions and by changes in policies of the Chinese Government, such as changes in laws and regulations, measures which may be introduced to control inflation, changes in the rate or method of taxation, imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion and remittance abroad, reduction in tariff protection and other import restrictions.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

The Company is subject to the requirements of U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S., including China’s, environmental and occupational safety and health laws and regulations. These include laws regulating air emissions, water discharge and waste management. The Company has an environmental management structure designed to facilitate and support its compliance with these requirements globally. Although it is the Company’s intent to comply with all such requirements and regulations, it cannot provide assurance that it is at all times in compliance. The Company has made and will continue to make capital and other expenditures to comply with environmental requirements, although such expenditures were not material during the past two years. Environmental requirements are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. Accordingly, the Company cannot assure that environmental requirements will not change or become more stringent over time or that its eventual environmental cleanup costs and liabilities will not be material.

During 2009, the Company did not make any material capital expenditures relating to environmental compliance.

WEB SITE ACCESS TO SEC FILINGS

The Company files electronically with the SEC its annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy information and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. The address of that website is http://www.sec.gov. The materials are also available at the SEC’s Public Reference Room, located at 100 F Street, Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information through the public reference room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.

Risks Related to the Company’s Business and Industry

Because the Company is a holding company with substantially all of its operations conducted through its subsidiaries, its performance will be affected by the performance of its subsidiaries.

The Company almost has no operations independent of those of Genesis and its subsidiaries, and the Company’s principal assets are its investments in Genesis and its subsidiaries. As a result, the Company is dependent upon the performance of Genesis and its subsidiaries and will be subject to the financial, business and other factors affecting Genesis as well as general economic and financial conditions. As substantially all of the Company’s operations are and will be conducted through its subsidiaries, the Company will be dependent on the cash flow of its subsidiaries to meet its obligations.

Because virtually all of the Company’s assets are and will be held by operating subsidiaries, the claims of the Company’s stockholders will be structurally subordinate to all existing and future liabilities and obligations, and trade payables of such subsidiaries. In the event of the Company’s bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, its assets and those of its subsidiaries will be available to satisfy the claims of the Company’s stockholders only after all of its and its subsidiaries’ liabilities and obligations have been paid in full.

The Senior Convertible Notes are the Company’s unsecured obligations, but are not obligations of its subsidiaries. In addition, the Company’s secured commercial debt is senior to the Senior Convertible Notes.

With the automobile parts markets being highly competitive and many of the Company’s competitors having greater resources than it does, the Company may not be able to compete successfully.

The automobile parts industry is a highly competitive business. Criteria for the Company’s customers include:

	•	Quality;

	•	Price/cost competitiveness;

	•	System and product performance;

	•	Reliability and timeliness of delivery;

	•	New product and technology development capability;

	•	Excellence and flexibility in operations;

	•	Degree of global and local presence;

	•	Effectiveness of customer service; and

•

Overall management capability.

The Company’s competitors include independent suppliers of parts, as well as suppliers formed by spin-offs from the Company’s customers, who are becoming more aggressive in selling parts to other vehicle manufacturers. Depending on the particular product, the number of the Company’s competitors varies significantly. Many of the Company’s competitors have substantially greater revenues and financial resources than it does, as well as stronger brand names, consumer recognition, business relationships with vehicle manufacturers, and geographic presence than it has. The Company may not be able to compete favorably and increased competition may substantially harm its business, business prospects and results of operations.

Internationally, the Company faces different market dynamics and competition. The Company may not be as successful as its competitors in generating revenues in international markets due to the lack of recognition of its products or other factors. Developing product recognition overseas is expensive and time-consuming and the Company’s international expansion efforts may be more costly and less profitable than it expects. If the Company is not successful in its target markets, its sales could decline, its margins could be negatively impacted and it could lose market share, any of which could materially harm the Company’s business, results of operations and profitability.

The cyclical nature of automotive production and sales could result in a reduction in automotive sales, which could adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations.

The Company’s business relies on automotive vehicle production and sales by its customers, which are highly cyclical and depend on general economic conditions and other factors, including consumer spending and preferences and the price and availability of gasoline. They also can be affected by labor relations issues, regulatory requirements, and other factors. In addition, in the last two years, the price of automobiles in China has generally declined. As a result, the volume of automotive production in China has fluctuated from year to year, which gives rise to fluctuations in the demand for the Company’s products. Any significant economic decline that results in a reduction in automotive production and sales by the Company’s customers would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. Moreover, if the prices of automobiles do not remain low, then demand for automobile parts could fall and result in lower revenues and profitability.

Increasing costs for manufactured components and raw materials may adversely affect the Company’s profitability.

The Company uses a broad range of manufactured components and raw materials in its products, including castings, electronic components, finished sub-components, molded plastic parts, fabricated metal, aluminum and steel, and resins. Because it may be difficult to pass increased prices for these items on to the Company’s customers, a significant increase in the prices of the Company’s components and materials could materially increase the Company’s operating costs and adversely affect its profit margins and profitability.

Pricing pressure by automobile manufacturers on their suppliers may adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations.

Recently, pricing pressure from automobile manufacturers has been prevalent in the automotive parts industry in China. Virtually all vehicle manufacturers seek price reductions each year, including requiring suppliers to pay a “3-R Guarantees” service charge for repair, replacement and refund in an amount of about 1% - 4% of the total amount of parts supplied. Although the Company has tried to reduce costs and resist price reductions, these reductions have impacted the Company’s sales and profit margins. If the Company cannot offset continued price reductions through improved operating efficiencies and reduced expenditures, price reductions will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

The Company’s business, revenues and profitability would be materially and adversely affected if it loses any of its large customers.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, approximately 14.8% of the Company’s sales were to BYD Auto Co., Ltd, approximately 12.0% were to Chery Automobile Co., Ltd, approximately 10.4% were to Beiqi Foton Motor Co., Ltd, and approximately 10.0% were to Zhejiang Geely Holding Co., Ltd, the Company’s four largest customers. The loss of, or significant reduction in purchases by, one or more of these major customers could adversely affect the Company’s business.

The Company may be subject to product liability and warranty and recall claims, which may increase the costs of doing business and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and liquidity.

The Company may be exposed to product liability and warranty claims if its products actually or allegedly fail to perform as expected or the use of its products results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury and/or property damage. The Company started to pay some of its customers’ increased after-sales service expenses due to consumer rights protection policies of “recall” issued by the Chinese Government in 2004, such as the recalling flawed vehicles policy. Beginning in 2004, automobile manufacturers unilaterally required their suppliers to pay a “3-R Guarantees” service charge for repair, replacement and refund in an amount of about 1% - 4% of the total amount of parts supplied. Accordingly, the Company has experienced and will continue to experience higher after sales service expenses. Product liability, warranty and recall costs may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

The Company is subject to environmental and safety regulations, which may increase the Company’s compliance costs and may adversely affect its results of operation.

The Company is subject to the requirements of environmental and occupational safety and health laws and regulations in China. The Company cannot provide assurance that it has been or will be at all times in full compliance with all of these requirements, or that it will not incur material costs or liabilities in connection with these requirements. Additionally, these regulations may change in a manner that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The capital requirements and other expenditures that may be necessary to comply with environmental requirements could increase and become a material expense of doing business.

Non-performance by the Company’s suppliers may adversely affect its operations by delaying delivery or causing delivery failures, which may negatively affect demand, sales and profitability.

The Company purchases various types of equipment, raw materials and manufactured component parts from its suppliers. The Company would be materially and adversely affected by the failure of its suppliers to perform as expected. The Company could experience delivery delays or failures caused by production issues or delivery of non-conforming products if its suppliers fail to perform, and it also faces these risks in the event any of its suppliers becomes insolvent or bankrupt.

The Company’s business and growth may suffer if it fails to attract and retain key personnel.

The Company’s ability to operate its business and implement its strategies effectively depends on the efforts of its executive officers and other key employees. The Company depends on the continued contributions of its senior management and other key personnel. The Company’s future success also depends on its ability to identify, attract and retain highly skilled technical staff, particularly engineers and other employees with mechanics and electronics expertise, and managerial, finance and marketing personnel. The Company does not maintain a key person life insurance policy on Mr. Hanlin Chen or Mr. Qizhou Wu. The loss of the services of any of the Company’s key employees or the failure to attract or retain other qualified personnel could substantially harm the Company’s business.

The Company’s management controls approximately 75.3% of its outstanding common stock and may have conflicts of interest with the Company’s minority stockholders.

As of February 27, 2010, members of the Company’s management beneficially own approximately 75.3% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, these majority stockholders have control over decisions to enter into any corporate transaction and have the ability to prevent any transaction that requires the approval of stockholders, which could result in the approval of transactions that might not maximize stockholders’ value. Additionally, these stockholders control the election of members of the Company’s board, have the ability to appoint new members to the Company’s management team and control the outcome of matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the Company’s common stock. The interests of these majority stockholders may at times conflict with the interests of the Company’s other stockholders. The Henglong Transaction was a transaction involving the Company and a counterparty controlled by Mr. Hanlin Chen, the Company’s Chairman and controlling stockholder. The Company regularly engages in transactions with entities controlled by one or more of its officers and directors.

Covenants contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Senior Convertible Notes restrict the Company’s operating flexibility.

There is a limited public float of the Company’s common stock, which can result in the Company’s stock price being volatile and prevent the realization of a profit on resale of the Company’s common stock or derivative securities.

There is a limited public float of the Company’s common stock. As of February 27, 2010, approximately 24.7% of the Company’s outstanding common stock is considered part of the public float. The term “public float” refers to shares freely and actively tradable on the NASDAQ Capital Market and not owned by officers, directors or affiliates, as such term is defined under the Securities Act. As a result of the limited public float and the limited trading volume on some days, the market price of the Company’s common stock can be volatile, and relatively small changes in the demand for or supply of the Company’s common stock can have a disproportionate effect on the market price for its common stock. This stock price volatility could prevent a security holder seeking to sell the Company’s common stock or derivative securities from being able to sell them at or above the price at which the stock or derivative securities were bought, or at a price which a fully liquid market would report.

Provisions in the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the General Corporation Law of Delaware may discourage a takeover attempt.

Provisions in the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the General Corporation Law of Delaware, the state in which it is organized, could make it difficult for a third party to acquire the Company, even if doing so might be beneficial to the Company’s stockholders. Provisions of the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws impose various procedural and other requirements, which could make it difficult for stockholders to effect certain corporate actions and possibly prevent transactions that would maximize stockholders’ value.

The Company does not pay cash dividends on its common stock.

The Company has never paid common stock cash dividends and does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. In addition, the Securities Purchase Agreement prohibits the Company from paying cash dividends on common stock without the approval of the holders of the Senior Convertible Notes.

Because the Company’s operations are mostly located outside of the United States and are subject to Chinese laws, any change of Chinese laws may adversely affect its business.

Most of the Company’s operations are outside the United States and in China, which exposes it to risks, such as exchange controls and currency restrictions, currency fluctuations and devaluations, changes in local economic conditions, changes in Chinese laws and regulations, exposure to possible expropriation or other Chinese government actions, and unsettled political conditions. These factors may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations or on its business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company’s international expansion plans subject it to risks inherent in doing business internationally.

The Company’s long-term business strategy relies on the expansion of its international sales outside China by targeting markets, such as the United States. Risks affecting the Company’s international expansion include challenges caused by distance, language and cultural differences, conflicting and changing laws and regulations, foreign laws, international import and export legislation, trading and investment policies, foreign currency fluctuations, the burdens of complying with a wide variety of laws and regulations, protectionist laws and business practices that favor local businesses in some countries, foreign tax consequences, higher costs associated with doing business internationally, restrictions on the export or import of technology, difficulties in staffing and managing international operations, trade and tariff restrictions, and variations in tariffs, quotas, taxes and other market barriers. These risks could harm the Company’s international expansion efforts, which could in turn materially and adversely affect its business, operating results and financial condition.

The Company faces risks associated with currency exchange rate fluctuations; any adverse fluctuation may adversely affect its operating margins.

Although the Company is incorporated in the State of Delaware, in the United States, the majority of its current revenues are in Chinese currency. Conducting business in currencies other than US dollars subjects the Company to fluctuations in currency exchange rates that could have a negative impact on its reported operating results. Fluctuations in the value of the US dollar relative to other currencies impacts the Company’s revenues, cost of revenues and operating margins and results in foreign currency translation gains and losses. Historically, the Company has not engaged in exchange rate hedging activities. Although the Company may implement hedging strategies to mitigate this risk, these strategies may not eliminate its exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations and involve costs and risks of their own, such as ongoing management time and expertise requirements, external costs to implement the strategy and potential accounting implications.

If relations between the United States and China worsen, the Company’s stock price may decrease and the Company may have difficulty accessing the U.S. capital markets.

At various times during recent years, the United States and China have had disagreements over political and economic issues. Controversies may arise in the future between these two countries. Any political or trade controversies between the United States and China could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock and its ability to access US capital markets.

The Chinese Government could change its policies toward private enterprise, which could adversely affect the Company’s business.

The Company’s business is subject to political and economic uncertainties in China and may be adversely affected by China’s political, economic and social developments. Over the past several years, the Chinese Government has pursued economic reform policies including the encouragement of private economic activity and greater economic decentralization. The Chinese Government may not continue to pursue these policies or may alter them to the Company’s detriment from time to time. Changes in policies, laws and regulations, or in their interpretation or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, restrictions or prohibitions on dividend payments to stockholders, devaluations of currency or the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. Nationalization or expropriation could result in the total loss of the Company’s investment in China.

The economic, political and social conditions in China could affect the Company’s business.

Most of the Company’s business, assets and operations are located in China. The economy of China differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange, and allocation of resources. The economy of China has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. Although the Chinese Government has implemented measures recently emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of sound corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the Chinese Government. In addition, the Chinese Government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry by imposing industrial policies. It also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Therefore, the Chinese Government’s involvement in the economy could adversely affect the Company’s business operations, results of operations and/or financial condition.

The Chinese Government’s macroeconomic policies could have a negative effect on the Company’s business and results of operations.

The Chinese Government has implemented various measures from time to time to control the rate of economic growth. Some of these measures benefit the overall economy of China, but may have a negative effect on the Company.

Government control of currency conversion and future movements in exchange rates may adversely affect the Company’s operations and financial results.

The Company receives substantially most of its revenues in Renminbi, the currency of China. A portion of such revenues will be converted into other currencies to meet the Company’s foreign currency obligations. Foreign exchange transactions under the Company’s capital account, including principal payments in respect of foreign currency-denominated obligations, continue to be subject to significant foreign exchange controls and require the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange in China. These limitations could affect the Company’s ability to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing, or to obtain foreign exchange for capital expenditures.

The Chinese Government controls its foreign currency reserves through restrictions on imports and conversion of Renminbi into foreign currency. In July 2005, the Chinese Government has adjusted its exchange rate policy from “Fixed Rate” to “Floating Rate”. During July 2005 to July 2008, the exchange rate between RMB and US dollars has experienced a big fluctuation, for RMB 1.00 to US$0.1205 and RMB 1.00 to US$0.1462, respectively. Since August 2008, the exchange rate has been stable, and was approximately at RMB 1.00 to US$0.1464. There can be no assurance that the exchange rate will remain stable. The Renminbi could appreciate against the US dollar. The Company’s financial condition and results of operations may also be affected by changes in the value of certain currencies other than the Renminbi in which its earnings and obligations are denominated. In particular, an appreciation of the Renminbi is likely to increase the costs of export products and decrease the Company’s cash flow.

Because the Chinese legal system is not fully developed, the Company and its securityholders’ legal protections may be limited.

The Chinese legal system is based on written statutes and their interpretation by the Supreme People’s Court. Although the Chinese government introduced new laws and regulations to modernize its business, securities and tax systems on January 1, 1994, China does not yet possess a comprehensive body of business law. Because Chinese laws and regulations are relatively new, interpretation, implementation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties and inconsistencies and it may be difficult to enforce contracts. In addition, as the Chinese legal system develops, changes in such laws and regulations, their interpretation or their enforcement may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business operations. Moreover, interpretative case law does not have the same precedential value in China as in the United States, so legal compliance in China may be more difficult or expensive.

It may be difficult to serve the Company with legal process or enforce judgments against its management or the Company.

Most of the Company’s assets are located in China and eleven of its directors and officers are non-residents of the United States, and all or substantial portions of the assets of such non-residents are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons to originate an action in the United States. Moreover, there is uncertainty that the courts of China would enforce judgments of U.S. courts against the Company, its directors or officers based on the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state, or an original action brought in China based upon the securities laws of the United States or any state.

The Company may be subject to fines and legal sanctions imposed by State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) or other Chinese government authorities if it or its Chinese directors or employees fail to comply with recent Chinese regulations relating to employee share options or shares granted by offshore listed companies to Chinese domestic individuals

On December 25, 2006, the People’s Bank of China, or PBOC, issued the Administration Measures on Individual Foreign Exchange Control, and the corresponding Implementation Rules were issued by SAFE on January 5, 2007. Both of these regulations became effective on February 1, 2007. According to these regulations, all foreign exchange matters relating to employee stock holding plans, share option plans or similar plans with Chinese domestic individuals’ participation require approval from the SAFE or its authorized branch. On March 28, 2007, the SAFE issued the Application Procedure of Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Individuals Participating in Employee Stock Holding Plan or Stock Option Plan of Overseas-Listed Company, or the Stock Option Rule. Under the Stock Option Rule, Chinese domestic individuals who are granted share options or shares by an offshore listed company are required, through a Chinese agent or Chinese subsidiary of the offshore listed company, to register with the SAFE and complete certain other procedures. As the Company is an offshore listed company, its Chinese domestic directors and employees who may be granted share options or shares shall become subject to the Stock Option Rule. Under the Stock Option Rule, employees stock holding plans, share option plans or similar plans of offshore listed companies with Chinese domestic individuals’ participation must be filed with the SAFE. After the Chinese domestic directors or employees exercise their options, they must apply for the amendment to the registration with the SAFE. The Company is reviewing the procedures for such SAFE registration. If the Company or its Chinese domestic directors or employees fail to comply with these regulations, the Company or its Chinese domestic directors or employees may be subject to fines or other legal sanctions imposed by the SAFE or other Chinese government authorities.

General and administrative expenses were $12,239,867 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $12,097,500 for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $142,367, or 1.2%.

The expense items that increased more than $100,000 in 2009 compared to 2008 were salaries and wages, labor insurance expenses, and tax expenses. The expense items that decreased more than $100,000 in 2009 compared to 2008 were business entertainment expenses, and provision for bad debts expenses.

The increased salaries and wages were due to increased staff and performance bonuses resulting from enlarged business size and improved earnings.

The Company’s labor insurance expenses were pension, medicare, injury insurance, unemployment insurance, and housing fund expenses. The increase in labor insurance expenses for 2009 was a result of an increase in the number of employees.

The Company’s tax expense was property tax such as land use right, housing property tax, vehicle and vessel usage license plate tax. The increase in tax expense was a result of an increase in the property usage of the Company.

The decrease in business entertainment expenses has resulted from the control of such expenses by the Company’s management in 2009.

The Company recorded provision for bad debts based on aging of accounts receivable. The decrease in provision for bad debts in 2009 was mainly due to decreased receivables in excess of credit terms, as most domestic automobile manufacturers were in good financial situation, and paid the Company under their credit terms.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

Research and development expenses were $2,561,170 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $2,255,892 for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $305,278, or 13.5%.

The global automotive parts industry is highly competitive; winning and maintaining new business requires suppliers to rapidly produce new and innovative products on a cost-competitive basis. In order to maintain the Company’s competitiveness, the Company needs to invest in more R & D expenses. In 2009, the Company not only developed new products for foreign OEMs, but also increased R & D expenses for power steering gear for domestic OEMs.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE

For the year ended December 31, 2009, depreciation and amortization expenses excluded from that recorded under cost of sales were $2,955,159, compared to $5,846,290 for the year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $2,891,131, or 49.5%, as a result of the full depreciation of certain fixed assets of the Company.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

Income from operations was $37,664,652 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $16,923,421 for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $20,741,231, or 122.6%, mainly consisting of an increase of $25,409,019, or 53.8%, in gross profit, an increase of $104,442, or 14.2%, in net sales from materials and others, and a decrease of operating income of $4,772,230, or 15.4%, as a result of increased operating expenses.

OTHER INCOME

Other income was $94,534 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $1,067,309 for the year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $972,775, or 91.1%, primarily as a result of decreased government subsidies.

The Company’s government subsidies consisted of interest subsidy and investment subsidy. Interest subsidy is the refund by the Chinese Government of interest charged by banks to companies which are entitled to such subsidies. Investment subsidy is subsidy to encourage foreign investors to set up technologically advanced enterprises in China.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company received $94,534 for interest subsidy, and no investment subsidy. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s received $264,978 for interest subsidy, and $802,331 for investment subsidy.

Interest subsidies apply only to loan interest related to production facilities expansion. During 2006 and 2007, the Company had used this special loan to improve technologically its production line in order to enlarge capability and enhance quality. The expansion project was completed and new facilities were put into use at the end of 2007 and 2008, respectively.

During 2009 and 2008, the experts sent by the Chinese Government reviewed and assessed the actual usage of technologically improved production facilities on site in order to confirm whether the improvement has achieved its expected goal of production expansion and quality enhancement. Whether or not a company can receive interest subsidies from the Chinese Government depends on the company’s achieving the two goals set forth above after the technological improvement.

Chinese Government also provided incentives to foreign investors for setting up technologically advanced enterprises in China. During 2008, Genesis, a foreign investor, has received $802,331 for re-investment in Jiulong and Henglong with profit distribution because these two entities were technologically advanced enterprises entitled to such subsidies.

Since such government subsidy is similar to an investment income, the Company has recorded it as other income.

FINANCIAL EXPENSES

Financial expenses were $ 1,986,200 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to financial expenses of $1,296,218 for the year of 2008, an increase of $689,982, or 53.2%, primarily as a result of a decrease in interest expense of $152,383, an increase in convertible notes discount amortization of $294,013 and an increase in bank service fee of $19,659, as well as a decrease of foreign currency exchange gain of $295,282 and an increase in notes discount expenses of $233,411.

The decrease in interest expense was due to decreased bank loan and convertible notes. The increase in convertible note discount amortization was due to the redemption of three Convertible Notes with a total principal amount of $5,000,000 on March 17, 2009, with unamortized convertible note discount being written-off on the redemption date. The increase in notes discount expenses was mainly due to Chinese bank’s increase of its notes discount rate in 2009.

GAIN ON CHANGE IN FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVE

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the gain on change in fair value of the derivatives embedded in the convertible notes was $624,565, as compared to $998,014 for the year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $373,449, or 37.4%

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the decrease of change in fair value of the derivatives resulted from reduced gain on adjustment of fair value of liabilities in connection with convertible notes, and increased gain on change in fair value of compound derivatives embedded in the convertible notes.

During 2008, the opening fair value of warrant liabilities on February 15, 2008 was $798,626, closing fair value of warrant liabilities on December 31, 2008 was $1,977, and gain on change in fair value of warrant liabilities was $796,649. The significant reduction in fair value of warrant liabilities was due to the reduced remaining term and the significant difference between trading price of the Company’s common stock ($3.39) and opening trading price ($6.09). During 2009, the opening fair value of warrant liabilities was $1,977, closing fair value of warrant liabilities on December 31, 2009 was $0. Since the trading price of the Company’s common stock ($3.30) on exercise date (February 15, 2009) was significantly below the contractual exercise price ($8.55), no warrant was exercised. The warrant has expired, and its fair value was zero, and the gain on change in fair value was $1,977. (See Note 15)

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the gain on change in fair value of compound derivatives embedded in the convertible notes was $622,588, compared to $201,365 for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $421,223, mainly as a result of the recent stock market recovery. The Company’s stock price rose dramatically. On December 31, 2009, the Company’s stock price has risen to $18.71, from $3.39 on December 31, 2008, which is 2.64 times the contractual exercise price ($7.08). The convertible note holders will gain more potential income if they convert or continue to hold than redeem. Therefore, the Company estimated the probability of redemption was low, which led to a decrease in the fair value of derivative liabilities. (See Note 14)

INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES

Income before income taxes was $36,397,551 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $17,692,526 for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $18,705,025, or 105.7%, consisting of increased income from operations of $20,741,231, decreased other income of $972,775, decreased finance expenses of $689,982, and decreased gain on change in fair value of derivative of $373,449.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense was $5,110,475 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $185,877 for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $4,924,598, mainly because of:

(1) Increased taxable income resulted in an increased tax of $2,650,717.

(2) The Company has received $1,053,092 of government income tax benefit during the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $2,762,823 for the year of 2008, a decrease of $1,709,731. The Chinese Government cancelled the income tax benefit for purchase of domestically manufactured equipment in 2009.

(3) Decrease in average income tax rate resulted in decreased income tax expenses of $333,882.

(4) An increase in provision for impairment of deferred income taxes assets led to an increased income tax expenses of $757,359.

(5) Other adjustments led to an increased income tax expenses of $140,673.

NET INCOME

Net income was $31,287,076 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $17,506,649 for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $13,780,427, or 78.7%, consisting of increased income before income taxes of $18,705,025, or 105.7%, and a decrease of $4,924,598 due to increased income tax expenses.

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

The Company recorded net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $7,872,813 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $5,071,408 for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $2,801,405, or 55.2%.

The Company owns different equity interests in eight Sino-foreign joint ventures, through which it conducts its operations. All the operating results of these eight Foreign Investment Enterprises were consolidated in the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. The Company records the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of the respective Sino-foreign joint ventures for each period.

In 2009, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests has increased compared to 2008, primarily resulting from increased net income.

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO PARENT COMPANY

Net income attributable to parent company was $23,414,263 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $12,435,241 for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $10,979,022, or 88.3%, consisting of increased net income of $13,780,427, or 78.7%, and an increased net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $2,801,405, or 55.2%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Capital resources and use of cash

The Company has historically financed its liquidity requirements from a variety of sources, including short-term borrowings under bank credit agreements, bankers’ acceptance, issuances of capital stock and internally generated cash. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $43,480,176, compared to $37,113,375 as of December 31, 2008, an increase of $6,366,801, or 17.2%.

The Company had working capital of $62,342,953 as of December 31, 2009, compared to $42,032,901 as of December 31, 2008, an increase of $20,310,052, or 48.3%.

Financing activities:

The Company’s main financing activities were bank loans and banker’s acceptance bill facilities. In such financing activities, the Company’s banks require the Company to sign documents to repay such facilities within one year. On the condition that the Company can provide adequate mortgage security and has not violated the terms of the line of credit agreement, such one year facilities can be extended for another year.

The Company had bank loans maturing in less than one year of $5,125,802 and bankers’ acceptances of $38,041,602 as of December 31, 2009.

The Company currently expects to be able to obtain similar bank loans and bankers’ acceptance bills in the future if it can provide adequate mortgage security following the termination of the above mentioned agreements (See the table in section (a) Bank loan). If the Company is not able to do so, it will have to refinance such debt as it becomes due or repay that debt to the extent it has cash available from operations or from the proceeds of additional issuances of capital stock. Owing to depreciation, the value of the mortgages securing the above-mentioned bank loans and banker's acceptance bills will be devalued by approximately $7,965,902. If the Company wishes to obtain the same amount of bank loans and banker's acceptance bills, it will have to provide $7,965,902 additional mortgages as of the maturity date of such agreements (See the table in section (a) Bank loan). The Company still can obtain a reduced line of credit with a reduction of $3,712,000, which is 46.6% (the mortgage rates) of $7,965,902, if it cannot provide additional mortgages. The Company expects that the reduction of bank loans will not have a material adverse effect on its liquidity.

On February 15, 2008, the Company issued $35,000,000 of convertible notes to Lehman Brothers Commercial Corporation Asia Limited, LBCCA, and YA Global Investments, L.P., YA Global, maturing in 5 years. According to the terms of the Senior Convertible Notes (as described in Note 13 of the financial statement), convertible notes may be required to be repaid in cash on or prior to their maturity. For example, Convertible Note holders are entitled to require the Company redeem all or any portion of the Convertible Notes in cash, if the Weighted Average Price (WAP) for twenty (20) consecutive trading days is less than $3.187 at any time following February 15, 2009, the “WAP Default”, by delivering written redemption notice to the Company within five (5) business days after the receipt of the Company’s notice of the WAP Default.

As a result of the 2008 and 2009 worldwide financial turmoil, the Company’s stock’s WAP for twenty (20) consecutive trading days ended on March 16, 2009 was below $3.187. On March 17, 2009, the Company delivered two WAP Default notices to the Convertible Note holders. On March 27, 2009, the Company received a letter dated March 26, 2009 via fax from YA Global, one of the Convertible Note holders, electing to require the Company to redeem all the three Convertible Notes it held in the total principal amount of $5,000,000, together with interest, late charges, if any, and the Other Make Whole Amount as defined in Section 5(d) of the Convertible Notes. After negotiation, on April 15, 2009, the Company paid YA Global $5,041,667 for the total principal amount ($5,000,000), together with interest and late charges. YA Global has waived its entitlement to the Other Make Whole Amount.

Following the WAP Default notices, the Company received a letter from the provisional liquidator acting on behalf of LBCCA, the “LBCCA Liquidator”, requesting that it be granted an extension until April 24, 2009 to consider its rights under the Convertible Notes. The Company granted an extension to April 15, 2009. The LBCCA Liquidator requested another extension to April 24, 2009. On April 24, 2009, LBCCA’s lawyers sent three Holder Redemption Notices via fax electing to redeem the entire outstanding principal of $30,000,000, together with interest, late charges, if any, and the Other Make Whole Amount, to be paid on July 23, 2009. The Company discussed settlement with the LBCCA Liquidator, and on or about July 22, 2009, the Company and the LBCCA Liquidator agreed to extend the applicable holder mandatory redemption date for two months to September 23, 2009 to give more time to the Company and the LBCCA Liquidator to pursue settlement discussion. The Company received a letter dated September 22, 2009 from the LBCCA Liquidator stating that upon the Company’s acceptance of the revocation, all holder redemption notices dated April 24, 2009 shall be immediately revoked as if they were never issued, and the letter and the revocation did not purport to amend, restate or supplement any other terms and conditions under the three Notes and Securities Purchase Agreement dated 1 February 2008 between the Company and the LBCCA Liquidator. The Company accepted such revocation on September 23, 2009.

The Company’s ability to redeem the Convertible Notes and meet its payment obligations depends on its cash position and its ability to refinance or generate significant cash flow, which is subject to general economic, financial and competition factors and other factors beyond the Company’s control. The Company cannot assure you that it has sufficient funds available or will be able to obtain sufficient funds to meet its payment obligations under the Convertible Notes, and the Company’s redemption of the Convertible Notes would result in a material adverse effect on its liquidity and capital resources, business, results of operations or financial condition.

The Company must use the loan for the purpose described in the table. If it fails, the banks will no longer issue the notes payable, and it may have an adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity and capital resources. The Company has to deposit sufficient cash in the designated account of the bank on the due date of notes payable for payment to the suppliers. If the bank has advanced payment for the Company, it will be charged a penalty interest at 150% of the specified loan rate. Management believes that the Company had complied with such financial covenants as of December 31, 2009, and will continue to comply with them.

The Company had approximately $10,788,625 of capital commitment as of December 31, 2009, arising from equipment purchases for expanding production capacity. The Company intends to pay $10,006,373 in 2010 using its working capital. Management believes that it will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity.

Cash flows:

(a) Operating activities

Net cash generated from operations during the year ended December 31, 2009 was $34,956,534, compared with $16,373,966 for the year of 2008, an increase of $18,582,568, primarily due to increased net income.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the most important factor of cash outflow of operation activities is increased accounts receivables, notes receivables, and pledged cash deposits.

First, cash outflow caused by the increased accounts receivable was about $44,000,000, mainly due to increased sales in 2009 than in 2008. The credit terms on sale of goods between customers and the Company generally range from 3 - 4 months, which resulted in increased accounts receivable as sales increased. This is a normal capital circulation and the Company believes that it will not have a material adverse effect on future cash flows. Second, cash outflow caused by increased notes receivable was about $15,000,000, mainly due to the Company having sufficient working capital, thus having less notes receivable discounted during this period. Since the notes receivable were based on bank credit standing, they may turn into cash any time the Company elects. Therefore, the increase of notes receivable will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future operating activities. Third, increased pledged cash deposits caused cash outflow of $6,000,000. In order to save interest expenses, the Company arranged interest free banker’s acceptance bill facilities with various banks to facilitate purchasing activities to pay purchase expenditure. Such banker’s acceptance bill facilities required 30%-40% pledged rate for cash deposits, which led to an increased pledged cash deposits for increased purchase expenditure in 2009 than 2008.

(b) Investing activities:

The Company expended net cash of $17,335,687 in investment activities during the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $22,356,060 during the year of 2008, a decrease of $5,020,373, as a result of the following factors:

First, as in 2008, the Company invested cash for equipment purchases and building facilities to expand production to meet market needs. Cash used for equipment purchases and building facilities in 2009 and 2008 were $17,498,957 and $12,245,383, respectively.

Second, the Company acquired a 35.5% equity interest in Henglong, one of the Company’s Joint-Ventures in 2008, while there was no such investing activity in 2009.

On March 31, 2008, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Genesis and Wiselink, both controlled by Hanlin Chen and his family, entered into an equity transfer agreement, pursuant to which Wiselink transferred and assigned its 35.5% equity interest in Henglong, one of the Company’s currently consolidated subsidiaries, to Genesis for a total consideration of $32,090,000. The Company now holds an 80% equity interest in Henglong.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Consideration was paid as follows: $10,000,000 cash was paid by Genesis to Wiselink on April 30, 2008, and the balance of the purchase price, $22,090,000, was paid by issuance of 3,023,542 shares of common stock of the Company, in its capacity as the 100% parent company of Genesis.

(c)	Financing activities

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company expended net cash of $11,290,625 in financing activities, compared to obtaining net cash of $21,981,953 through financing activities for the same period of 2008, a decrease of $33,272,578 as a result of the following factors:

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company sold $30,000,000 and $5,000,000 of convertible notes to Lehman Brothers Commercial Corporation Asia Limited, and YA Global Investments, L.P., respectively. During the same period in 2009, there is no such financing activity.

The Company repaid YA Global $5,000,000 for its convertible notes upon its request during the year ended December 31, 2009.

During the year 2009 and 2008, the Company had sufficient working capital from its operating activities. To save interest expenses, the Company repaid bank loans of $2,196,367 and $7,567,697 during the year 2009 and 2008, respectively.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 24, 2010, Genesis entered into a sino-foreign equity joint venture contract with Beijing Hainachuan Auto Parts Co., Ltd., to establish a sino-foreign joint venture company, Beijing Henglong Automotive System Co., Ltd. “Beijing Henglong”, to design, develop and manufacture both hydraulic and electric power steering systems and parts. Under PRC laws, the establishment of Beijing Henglong and the effectiveness of the equity joint venture contract are subject to the approval by the local Ministry of Commerce and the registration of the same with the local Administration of Industries and Commerce in Beijing. The Company expects that the approval and registration will be obtained and completed within 2 months from the date of the equity joint venture contract.

Due to the continued increase of market demand for its products, the Company decided to expand its production capacity. On February 24, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company decided to increase the registered capital of Hengsheng, one of the Company’s subsidiaries, to $16,000,000 from $10,000,000. The additional investment will be used for expansion of plant and purchase of machinery and equipment and will be funded by the Company’s working capital balances. As of the date of this report, the additional investment has been injected into Hengsheng.

INFLATION AND CURRENCY MATTERS

In the most recent decade, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid economic growth as well as relatively high rates of inflation, which in turn has resulted in the periodic adoption by the Chinese Government of various corrective measures designed to regulate growth and contain inflation.

Foreign operations are subject to certain risks inherent in conducting business abroad, including price and currency exchange controls, and fluctuations in the relative value of currencies. During 2009, the Company has supplied products to North America and settled in cash in US dollars. As a result, appreciation or currency fluctuation of the RMB against the US$ would increase the cost of export products, thus adversely affect the Company’s financial performance.

In July 2005, the Chinese Government adjusted its exchange rate policy from “Fixed Rate” to “Floating Rate”. During July 2005 to July 2008, the exchange rate between RMB and US dollars experienced a big fluctuation, for RMB 1.00 to US$0.1205 and RMB 1.00 to US$0.1462, respectively. Since August 2008, the exchange rate has maintained stable, and was approximately at RMB 1.00 to US$0.1464. There can be no assurance that the exchange rate will remain stable. The Renminbi could appreciate against the US dollar. The Company’s financial condition and results of operations may also be affected by changes in the value of certain currencies other than the Renminbi in which the Company’s earnings and obligations are denominated. In particular, an appreciation of the Renminbi is likely to increase the cost of export products, thus decrease the Company’s cash flow.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 3 to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions. The following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:

• It requires the Company to make assumptions about matters that were uncertain at the time it was making the estimate, and

• Changes in the estimate or different estimates that the Company could have selected would have had a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

The table below presents information about the nature and rationale for the Company critical accounting estimates:

Balance Sheet Caption	Critical Estimate Item	Nature of Estimates Required	Assumptions/Approaches Used	Key Factors
Accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities	Warranty obligations	Estimating warranty requires the Company to forecast the resolution of existing claims and expected future claims on products sold. VMs are increasingly seeking to hold suppliers responsible for product warranties, which may impact the Company’s exposure to these costs.	The Company bases its estimate on historical trends of units sold and payment amounts, combined with its current understanding of the status of existing claims and discussions with its customers.	• VM (Vehicle Manufacturer) sourcing • VM policy decisions regarding warranty claims

Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and other long-term assets	Valuation of long- lived assets and investments	The Company is required from time-to-time to review the recoverability of certain of its assets based on projections of anticipated future cash flows, including future profitability assessments of various product lines.	The Company estimates cash flows using internal budgets based on recent sales data, independent automotive production volume estimates and customer commitments.	• Future Production estimates • Customer preferences and decisions

Accounts and notes receivables	Provision for doubtful accounts and notes receivable	Estimating the provision for doubtful accounts and notes receivable require the Company to analyze and monitor each customer’s credit standing and financial condition regularly. The Company grants credit to its customers, generally on an open account basis. It will have material adverse effect on the Company’s cost disclosure if such assessment were improper.	The Company grants credit to its customers for three to four months based on each customer’s current credit standing and financial data. The Company assesses allowance on an individual customer basis, under normal circumstances ； the Company does not record any provision for doubtful accounts for those accounts receivable amounts which were in credit terms. For those receivables out of credit terms, certain proportional provision, namely 25% to 100%, will be recorded based on respective overdue terms.	•Customers’ credit standing and financial condition

Deferred income taxes	Recoverability of deferred tax assets	The Company is required to estimate whether recoverability of its deferred tax assets is more likely than not based on forecasts of taxable earnings in the related tax jurisdiction.	The Company uses historical and projected future operating results, based upon approved business plans, including a review of the eligible carryforward period, tax planning opportunities and other relevant considerations.	• Tax law changes • Variances in future projected profitability, including by taxing entity

Convertible notes payable, discount of convertible note payable, warrant liabilities, compound derivative liabilities	Warrant liabilities and compound derivative liabilities	The Company is required to estimate the fair value of warrant liabilities and compound derivative liabilities at conception and completion of each reporting period	The Company uses Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine fair value of warrant; uses forward cash-flow valuation techniques to determine fair value of compound derivative liabilities	• Expected term • Expected volatility • Risk-free rate or market interest rate similar with such instrument •Dividend distribution •Common stock trading price and exercise price •Credit risk • Probability of certain default event occurred • Derivative liabilities redeemed on a price of exercise plus premium

In addition, there are other items within the Company’s financial statements that require estimation, but are not as critical as those discussed above. These include the allowance for reserves for excess and obsolete inventory. Although not significant in recent years, changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the management of China Automotive Systems, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The company is not required to have nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal controls over financing reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of China Automotive Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its earnings and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

During early 2003, the Directors of the Company and the other joint venture partners in the Company’s Sino-foreign joint ventures executed “Act in Concert” agreements, resulting in the Company having voting control in such Sino-foreign joint ventures.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company is of an opinion that the significant items were warranty reserves, long term assets and investment, the realizable value of accounts receivable and inventories, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, accruals warranty liabilities and deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include all highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.

Pledged Cash Deposits - The Company has pledged cash deposits to secure trade financing provided by banks.

Accounts Receivable - In order to determine the value of the Company’s accounts receivable, the Company records a provision for doubtful accounts to cover estimated credit losses. Management reviews and adjusts this allowance periodically based on historical experience and its evaluation of the collectability of outstanding accounts receivable. The Company evaluates the credit risk of its customers utilizing historical data and estimates of future performance.

Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is calculated on the moving-average, first-in-first-out basis and includes all costs to acquire and other costs to bring the inventories to their present location and condition. The Company evaluates the net realizable value of its inventories on a regular basis and records a provision for loss to reduce the computed moving-average cost if it exceeds the net realizable value.

Advance Payments - These amounts represent advances or prepayments to acquire various assets to be utilized in the future in the Company’s normal business operations. Such amounts are paid according to their respective contract terms and are classified as a current asset in the consolidated balance sheet.

Property, Plant and Equipment – Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized; minor replacements and maintenance and repairs are charged to operations. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

Category		Estimated Useful Life (Years)
Land use rights and buildings:
Land use rights		45-50
Buildings		25
Machinery and equipment		6
Electronic equipment		4
Motor vehicles		6

Assets under construction- represent buildings under construction and plant and equipment pending installation— are stated at cost. Cost includes construction and acquisitions, and interest charges arising from borrowings used to finance assets during the period of construction or installation and testing. No provision for depreciation is made on assets under construction until such time as the relevant assets are completed and ready for their intended commercial use.

Gains or losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset, and are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations on the date of disposal.

Interest Costs Capitalized - Interest costs incurred in connection with specific borrowings for the acquisition, construction or installation of property, plant and equipment are capitalized (if significant) and depreciated as part of the asset’s total cost when the respective asset is placed into service.

However, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, interest costs which were incurred before achieving the expected usage as result of using such specific borrowings for the acquisition, construction or installation of property, plant and equipment were not significant. For example, the interest cost incurred in connection with specific borrowings for acquisition of Henglong’s equity was $262,500 and $343,750 in 2008 and 2009, respectively, and such amount can achieve the expected usage without preparation time. Interest cost incurred in connection with specific borrowings for construction or installation of property, plant and equipment was $264,978 and $94,534 in 2008, and 2009, respectively. Interest cost in preparation time was $$90,000, and $30,000, in 2008 and 2009, respectively.

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets, representing patents and technical know-how acquired, are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Amortization is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 5 to 15 years.

In January 2002, the Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 350 (formerly SFAS No. 142), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The Company did not have any goodwill at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Long-Lived Assets - The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 360 (formerly SFAS No.144), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed periodically for impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. If required, an impairment loss is recognized as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the assets.

In assessing long-lived assets for impairment, management considered the Company’s product line portfolio, customers and related commercial agreements, labor agreements and other factors in grouping assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent. The Company considers projected future undiscounted cash flows, trends and other factors in its assessment of whether impairment conditions exist. Whilst the Company believes that its estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions regarding such factors as future automotive production volumes, customer pricing, economics and productivity and cost saving initiatives, could significantly affect its estimates. In determining fair value of long-lived assets, management uses appraisals, management estimates or discounted cash flow calculations.

The Company recorded asset impairment charges of $781,373 for the year ended December 31, 2009, to adjust certain long-lived assets to their estimated fair values and included such charges in other sales income in the income statement.

During 2009, the Company recorded impairment charges of $383,434 to reduce the net book value of long-lived assets associated with the Company’s sensor products to their estimated fair value. This amount was recorded pursuant to impairment indicators including lower than anticipated current and near term future customer volumes, the related impact on the Company’s current and projected operating results and cash flows resulting from a change in product technology.

During 2009, the Company planned to sell the idle and unused machinery equipment of Henglong. The Company determined to fully write off these machinery and equipment. This results in asset impairment charges of approximately $397,939.

Long-Term Investments - Investments in which the Company owns less than 20% of the investee company and does not have the ability to exert significant influence are stated at cost, and are reviewed periodically for realizability.

Revenue from Product Sales Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer pursuant to PRC law, including factors such as when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, sales and value added tax laws have been complied with, and collectability is probable. The Company recognizes product sales generally at the time the product is shipped. Concurrent with the recognition of revenue, the Company reduces revenue for estimated product returns. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. Revenue is presented net of any sales tax and value added tax.

Revenue from Materials and Other Assets Sales Recognition – Normally, the Company purchases materials only for its production. Occasionally, some materials will be sold to other suppliers in case of temporary inventory overage of such materials and to make a profit on any price difference. The Company is essentially the agent in these transactions because it does not have any risk of product return. When there is any quality or quantity loss, the suppliers are obligated to restitution. Income generated from selling materials is recorded as the net amount retained, that is, the amount billed to the customers less the amount paid to suppliers, in the consolidated statement of operations in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 350 (formerly EITF 99-19).

Revenue from other asset sales represents gains or losses from other assets, for example, used equipment. Income generated from selling other assets is recorded as the sales amount less cost of the assets. The Company has classified such revenue from materials and other asset sales into gain on other sales in its consolidated statement of operations.

Sales Taxes - The Company is subject to value added tax, “VAT”. The applicable VAT tax rate is 17% for products sold in the PRC. The amount of VAT liability is determined by applying the applicable tax rate to the invoiced amount of goods sold less VAT paid on purchases made with the relevant supporting invoices. VAT is collected from customers by the Company on behalf of the PRC tax authorities and is therefore not charged to the consolidated statements of operations.

Product Warranties - The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties when the products are sold. Such estimates of product warranties were based on, among other things, historical experience, product changes, material expenses, service and transportation expenses arising from the manufactured product. Estimates will be adjusted on the basis of actual claims and circumstances.

Pension - All the employees are located in China. The Company records pension costs and various employment benefits in accordance with the relevant Chinese social security laws, which is approximately at a total of 31% of salary as required by local governments. Base salary levels are the average salary determined by the local governments.

Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations with respect to the financial condition of its debtors, but does not require collateral. In order to determine the value of the Company’s accounts receivable, the Company records a provision for doubtful accounts to cover probable credit losses. Management reviews and adjusts this allowance periodically based on historical experience and its evaluation of the collectability of outstanding accounts receivable.

Interest Rate Risk- Bank loans are charged at fixed interest rates.

Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method whereby deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of certain assets and liabilities, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, if any, include the impact of any tax rate changes enacted during the year. ASC Topic 350 (formerly SFAS No.109), “Accounting for Income Taxes,” requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on all available evidence, it is considered more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. If the amount of the Company’s taxable income or income tax liability is a determinant of the amount of a grant, the grant is treated as a reduction of the income tax provision in the year the grant is realized.

Research and Development Costs - Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Advertising, Shipping and Handling Costs - Advertising, shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Per Share - Basic income per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the parent by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is calculated based on the treasury stock method, assuming the issuance of common shares, if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of options and warrants. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the “if converted” method.

Comprehensive Income - The Company has adopted ASC Topic 220 (formerly SFAS No. 130), “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. ASC Topic 220 establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances in a full set of general purpose financial statements. ASC Topic 220 defines comprehensive income to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners, including adjustments to minimum pension liabilities, accumulated foreign currency translation, and unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments -The company follows, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820-10), which among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Fair valued assets and liabilities that are generally included in this category are assets comprised of cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and notes receivable, and liabilities comprised of bank loans, accounts and notes payable, convertible notes payable, accrued payroll and related costs, accrued expenses and other payables, accrued pension costs and amounts due to shareholders/directors.

Level 2 – Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not have any fair value assets or liabilities classified as Level 2.

Level 3 – Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

Fair valued assets and liabilities that are generally included in this category are assets comprised of other long-term receivables; and liabilities comprised of advances payable.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 are classified below based on the three fair value hierarchy tiers described above:

			Fair value measurements using

Stock-Based Compensation - The Company may issue stock options to employees and stock options or warrants to non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs.

In July 2004, the Company adopted a stock incentive plan. The maximum number of common shares for issuance under this plan is 2,200,000 with a period of 10 years. The stock incentive plan provides for the issuance, to the Company’s officers, directors, management and employees, of options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Since the adoption of the stock incentive plan, the Company has issued 433,850 stock options and 1,766,150 stock options remain to be issuable in the future. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had 343,850 stock options outstanding.

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 718 (formerly SFAS 123R), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, which establishes a fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. In accordance with guidance now incorporated in ASC Topic 718, the cost of stock options and warrants issued to employees and non-employees is measured on the grant date based on the fair value. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period.

Financial instruments - Derivative financial instruments, as defined in ASC Topic 815 (formerly FAS 133), Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities (ASC Topic 815), consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying, e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable, require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets.

The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, the Company has entered into certain other financial instruments and contracts, such as debt financing arrangements that embody features that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. As required by ASC Topic 815 (formerly FAS 133), these instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in the Company’s financial statements.

Registration Payment Arrangements - The Company has entered into registration payment arrangements with certain investors that provide for the payment of damages for failures to register common shares underlying the investor’s financial instruments. ASC Topic 825 (formerly FASB Staff Position 00-19-2), Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements, provides for the exclusion of registration payments, such as the liquidated damages, from the consideration of classification of financial instruments. Rather, such registration payments would be accounted for pursuant to ASC Topic 450 (formerly FASB No. 5), “Accounting for Contingencies”, which is the Company’s current accounting practice. That is, all registration payments will require recognition when they are both probable and reasonably estimable. The Company does not currently believe that damages are probable.

Fair Value Measurements - The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820 (formerly SFAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements”, except as it applies to those nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) - The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 470 (formerly FSP APB 14-1), “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)”.ASC Topic 470 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. ASC Topic 470 (formerly FSP APB 14-1) is effective beginning from January 1, 2009 for the Company, and this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. Since the Company’s Convertible Notes agreement do not have a term for cash (or other assets) settlement upon conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement), the adoption of ASC 480 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Foreign Currencies - The Company maintains its books and records in Renminbi, “RMB”, the currency of the PRC, its functional currency. In accordance with guidance now incorporated in ASC Topic 830 (formerly FAS 52), foreign currency transactions in RMB are reflected using the temporal method. Under this method, all monetary items are translated into the functional currency at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items are translated at historical rates. Income and expenses are translated at the rate in effect on the transaction dates. Transaction gains and losses, if any, are included in the determination of net income for the period.

In translating the financial statements of the Company from its functional currency into its reporting currency of United States dollars, balance sheet accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense accounts are translated using an average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in cumulative other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) launched its Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or the Codification), the single source of nongovernmental authoritative generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP), and was effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification is a reorganization of U.S. GAAP into a topical format that eliminates the previous U.S. GAAP hierarchy. References to accounting standards in this Form 10-K refer to the relevant ASC topic. As the Codification was not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, it did not impact the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted guidance (originally issued as SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — An Amendment of ARB No. 51) amending existing GAAP to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The adopted guidance, now included in ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (ASC 810), clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity and should be reported as equity on the financial statements. ASC 810 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. Furthermore, disclosure of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest is required on the face of the financial statements. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated finance position and result of operation.

In April 2009, the FASB issued three accounting standard updates which were intended to provide additional application guidance and enhanced disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities. The first update, as codified in ASC 820-10-65, provides additional guidelines for estimating fair value in accordance with fair value accounting. The second update, as codified in ASC 320-10-65 established a new model for measuring other-than-temporary impairments for debt securities, including establishing criteria for when recognize a write-down through earnings. The third accounting update, as codified in ASC 825-10-65, increases the frequency of fair value disclosures. These updates were effective for fiscal year and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. There was no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of these standards.

In the second quarter of 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard for subsequent events, as codified in ASC 855-10. The updated modifies the names of the two types of subsequent events either as recognized subsequent events (previously referred to in practice as Type I subsequent events) or non-recognized subsequent events (previously referred to in practice as Type II subsequent events). In addition, the standard modifies the definition of subsequent events to refer to events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued (for public entities) or available to be issued (for nonpublic entities). The update did not result in significant changes in the practice of subsequent event disclosures, and therefore the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In February 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-09 Subsequent Event (Topic 855) Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. ASU 2010-09 removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of GAAP. All of the amendments in ASU 2010-09 are effective upon issuance of the final ASU, except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors. That amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company adopted ASU 2010-09 in February 2010 and did not disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-13 Revenue Recognition (ASC 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangement, which changes the requirements for establishing separate units of accounting in a multiple element arrangement and requires the allocation of arrangement consideration to each deliverable based on the relative selling price. The selling price for each deliverable is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available, third-party evidence if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price if neither VSOE or third-party evidence is available. ASU 2009-13 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently assessing the impact to its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2010, the FASB issued new standards in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. These standard required new disclosures on the amount and reason for transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements. The standards also require disclosure of activities, including purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within the Level 3 fair value measurements. The standards also clarifies existing disclosure requirements on levels of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures regarding Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and clarification of existing disclosures are effective for the Company beginning with its first interim filing in 2010. The disclosures about the rollforward of information in Level 3 are required for the Company with its first interim filing in 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact these standards will have on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01, Equity (ASC 505): Accounting for distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This amendment to ASC 505 clarifies the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allow them to elect to receive cash or stock with a limit on the amount of cash that will be distributed is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying ASC 505 and 260. Effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and would be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU No. 2010-01 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

4. Pledged cash deposits

Pledged as guarantee for the Company's notes payable, the Company regularly pays some of its suppliers by bank notes. The Company (the drawer) has to deposit a cash deposit, equivalent to 10%- 40% of the face value of the relevant bank note, in a bank (the drawer) in order to obtain the bank note.

10. Deferred Income Tax Assets

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (formerly SFAS 109), the Company assesses, on a quarterly basis, its ability to realize its deferred tax assets. Based on the more likely than not standard in the guidance and the weight of available evidence, the Company believes a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets is necessary. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considered the following significant factors: an assessment of recent years’ profitability and losses; the Company’s expectation of profits based on margins and volumes expected to be realized (which are based on current pricing and volume trends); the long period - ten years or more in all significant operating jurisdictions — before the expiry of net operating losses, noting further that a portion of the deferred tax asset is composed of deductible temporary differences that are subject to an expiry period until realized under tax law. The Company will continue to evaluate the provision of valuation allowance in future periods.

The components of deferred income tax assets at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

	December 31,
	2009			2008
Losses carryforward (U.S.)	$	3,855,426		$	2,300,322
Losses carryforward (PRC)		421,629			287,285

All other		395,649			154,348
		10,110,959			7,247,931
Valuation allowance *		(6,556,448	)		(4,864,866	)
Total deferred tax assets	$	3,554,511		$	2,383,065

*As of December 31, 2009, valuation allowance was $6,556,448, including $3,855,426 allowance for the Company’s deferred tax assets in the U.S. and $2,701,022 allowance for the Company’s non-U.S. deferred tax assets. Based on the Company’s current operations in the U.S., the management believes that the deferred tax assets in the US are not likely to be realized in the future. For the non-U.S. deferred tax assets, pursuant to certain tax laws and regulations in China, the management believes such amount will not be used to offset future taxable income.

**Approximately $2,172,643 and $2,383,065 of deferred income tax asset as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, is included in non-current deferred tax assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The remaining $1,381,868 and $ nil of deferred income tax asset as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively, is included in the current deferred tax assets.

In February 2008, the Company sold to two accredited institutional investors $35 million of convertible notes, the "Convertible Notes", with a scheduled maturity date of February 15, 2013. The Convertible Notes, including any accrued but unpaid interest, are convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $8.8527 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

The Convertible Notes bear annual interest rates of 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5% and 5% for each year of 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. The interest on the Convertible Notes shall be computed commencing from the issuance date and will be payable in cash in arrears semi-annually on January 15, and July 15 of each year with the first interest payable date being July 15, 2008. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default defined in the relevant Convertible Note agreements, the interest rate then in effect shall be increased by two percent (2%) until the event of default is remedied.

The holders of the Convertible Notes will be entitled to convert any portion of the conversion amount into shares of common stock at the conversion price at any time or times on or after the thirtieth (30th) day after the issuance date and prior to the thirtieth (30th) Business Day prior to the expiry date of the Convertible Notes. A damage penalty will be paid if share certificates are not delivered timely after any conversion.

The Company will have the right to require the Convertible Note holders to convert all or any portion of the conversion amount then remaining under the Convertible Note obligation into shares of common stock, “ Mandatory Conversion”, if at any time during a six-month period, the beginning day of each such six-month period, a “Mandatory Conversion Period Start Date”, the arithmetic average of the weighted average price of the common stock for a period of at least thirty (30) consecutive trading days following the Mandatory Conversion Period Start Date equals or exceeds the percentage of $8.8527 set forth in the chart below as applicable to the indicated six month period:

0-6 months:	125	%
6-12 months:	125	%
12-18 months:	135	%
18-24 months:	135	%
24-30 months:	145	%
30-36 months:	145	%
36-42 months:	155	%
42-48 months:	155	%

On each six month anniversary of the issuance date beginning August 15, 2008, the conversion price will be adjusted downward to the Reset Reference Price, as defined below, if the weighted average price for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the applicable six month anniversary, the “Reset Reference Price”, is less than 95% of the conversion price in effect as of such applicable six month anniversary date. The foregoing notwithstanding, the conversion price will not be reduced via such reset provision to less than $7.0822. The conversion price is also subject to weighted-average antidilution adjustments, but in no event will the conversion price be reduced to less than $6.7417. If and whenever on or after the issuance date, the Company issues or sells its shares of Common Stock or other convertible securities, except for certain defined exempt issuances, for a consideration per share less than a price equal to the conversion price in effect on the issuance date immediately prior to such issue or sale, the original conversion price then in effect shall be adjusted by a weighted-average antidilution formula, but in no event to a new conversion price less than $6.4717.

The Company will not effect any conversion of the Convertible Notes, and each holder of the Convertible Notes will not have the right to convert any portion of the Convertible Notes to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, such holders would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.

The Company will not effect a Mandatory Conversion of more than twelve percent (12%) of the original principal amount of the Convertible Notes, with the applicable accrued but unpaid interest, in any six month period or twenty-four percent (24%) of the original principal amount of the Convertible Notes, with the applicable accrued but unpaid interest, in any twelve (12) month period.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default with respect to the Convertible Notes, the Convertible Note holders may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Convertible Notes. Each portion of the Convertible Notes subject to redemption by the Company will be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the sum of (i) the conversion amount to be redeemed and (ii) the Other Make Whole Amount. The “Other Make Whole Amount” will mean a premium to the conversion amount such that the total amount received by the Convertible Note holder upon redemption represents a gross yield to the Convertible Note holders on the original principal amount as of the redemption date equal to thirteen percent (13%), with interest computed on the basis of actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. The events of default includes the Company’s failure to cure a conversion failure by delivery of the required number of shares of Common Stock, the Company’s failure to pay to the Convertible Note holder any amount of principal, interest, late charges or other amounts when and as due under the Convertible Notes and other events as defined in the Convertible Note agreements.

Upon the consummation of a change of control as defined in the Convertible Note agreements, the Convertible Note holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Convertible Notes. The portion of the Convertible Notes subject to redemption shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the sum of the conversion amount of being redeemed and the Other Make Whole Amount as defined above.

On each of February 15, 2010 and February 15, 2011, the Convertible Note holders will have the right, in their sole discretion, to require that the Company redeem the Convertible Notes in whole but not in part, by delivering written notice thereof to the Company. The portion of this Convertible Note subject to redemption pursuant to this annual redemption right will be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the sum of the conversion amount being redeemed and the Annual Redemption Make Whole Amount. The “Annual Redemption Make Whole Amount” will mean a premium to the conversion amount such that the total amount received by the Convertible Note holder upon any annual redemption represents a gross yield on the original principal amount of eleven percent (11%), with interest computed on the basis of actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.

In the event that the Company has not completed the necessary filings to list the conversion shares on its principal market by the date that is ninety (90) days after the issuance date or has not so listed the conversion shares by the date that is ninety (90) days after the issuance date or the shares of the Company’s common stock are terminated from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, the Convertible Note holders will have the right, in its sole discretion, to require that the Company redeem all or any portion of the Convertible Notes. The portion of the Convertible Notes subject to redemption in connection with this listing default will be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the sum of the conversion amount being redeemed and the Other Make Whole Amount as mentioned above.

At any time following February 15, 2009, if the Weighted Average Price (WAP) for twenty (20) consecutive trading days is less than 45% of the Conversion Price in effect on the Issuance Date, as adjusted, namely $3.187, the Convertible Note holder shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require that the Company redeem all or any portion of the Convertible Notes. The portion of this Convertible Note subject to redemption in connection with the share price change of the underlying common stock will be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the sum of the conversion amount being redeemed and the Other Make Whole Amount as mentioned above.

Since the Company’s stock Weighted Average Price for twenty (20) consecutive trading days ended on March 16, 2009 was below $3.187, which is less than 45% of the Conversion Price in effect as of the Issuance Date, as adjusted, the “ WAP Default” , each Convertible Note holder had the right, at its sole discretion, to require that the Company redeem all or any portion of the Convertible Notes by delivering written redemption notice to the Company within five (5) business days after the receipt of the Company’s notice of the WAP Default.

On March 17, 2009, the Company delivered two WAP Default notices to the Convertible Note holders. On March 27, 2009, the Company received a letter from YA Global, one of the Convertible Note holders, electing to require the Company to redeem all the three Convertible Notes it held in the total principal amount of $5,000,000, together with interest, late charges, and the Other Make Whole Amount as defined in Section 5(d) of the Convertible Notes. After negotiation, the Company and YA Global reached a settlement agreement on April 8, 2009 and under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company paid on April 15, 2009 a redemption amount of $5,041,667 to YA Global and YA Global waived its entitlement to the Other Make Whole Amount.

Following the WAP Default notices, the Company received a letter from the provisional liquidator acting on behalf of Lehman Brothers Commercial Corporation Asia Limited, the “LBCCA Liquidator”, the other Convertible Note holder, requesting an extension until April 24, 2009 to consider its rights under the Convertible Notes. The Company granted an extension to April 15, 2009. The LBCCA Liquidator further requested another extension to April 24, 2009. On April 24, 2009, LBCCA’s lawyers sent three Holder Redemption Notices via fax electing to redeem the entire outstanding principal of $30,000,000, together with interest, late charges, if any, and the Other Make Whole Amount, to be paid on July 23, 2009. The Company discussed settlement with the LBCCA Liquidator, and on or about July 22, 2009, the Company and the LBCCA Liquidator agreed to extend the applicable holder mandatory redemption date for two months to September 23, 2009 to give more time to pursue settlement discussion. The Company received a letter dated September 22, 2009 from the LBCCA Liquidator stating that upon the Company’s acceptance of the revocation, all holder redemption notices dated April 24, 2009 shall be immediately revoked as if they were never issued, and the letter and the revocation did not purport to amend, restate or supplement any other terms and conditions under the three Notes and the Securities Purchase Agreement dated 1 February 2008 between the Company and LBCCA Liquidator. The Company accepted such revocation on September 23, 2009.

In connection with the Convertible Notes, the Company issued 1,317,864 detachable warrants, the “Warrants,” to purchase from the Company shares of common stock of the Company at the exercise price of $8.8527 per share. The Warrants are exercisable immediately and expired on February 15, 2009. The Warrants require net cash settlement in the event that there is a fundamental transaction, contractually defined as a merger, sale of substantially all assets, tender offer or share exchange. Due to this contingent redemption provision, in accordance with guidance now incorporated in ASC Topic 480 (formerly SFAS 150), the warrants require liability classification and must be recorded at fair value each reporting period. As of the issuance date, i.e., February 15, 2008, the fair value of warrants was $798,626, which was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The Company has evaluated the convertible notes for terms and conditions that are not clearly and closely associated with the risks of the debt-type host instrument. Generally, such features require separation from the host contract and treatment as derivative financial instruments. Certain features, such as the conversion option, were found to be exempt. Other features, such as puts and redemption features, were found to require bifurcation and recognition as derivative liabilities. These derivative liabilities are recognized initially at fair value, using forward cash-flow valuation techniques. As of February 15, 2008, the compound derivative value amounted to $1,703,962. This derivative will be adjusted to its estimated fair value at the completion of each reporting period until the debt arrangement is ultimately settled, converted or paid.

When a financial instrument contains embedded derivatives that require bifurcation, such as the redemption put, and freestanding instruments that are recorded at fair value each period, such as the warrants, the accounting is to record the embedded derivative and the freestanding instruments at fair value on inception and the residual proceeds are allocated to the debt instrument. Based on this premise, upon inception of the debt instruments, the Company recorded the redemption put at fair value $1,703,962 and the Company recorded the warrants at fair value $798,626. The remaining proceeds were then allocated to the debt instrument.

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 470 (originally issued as FSP APB 14-1), “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement). ASC Topic 470 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. ASC Topic 470 (formerly FSP APB 14-1) is effective beginning from January 1, 2009 for the Company, and this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. Since the Company’s Convertible Notes agreement do not have a term for cash (or other assets) settlement upon conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement), the adoption of ASC 480 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

As indicated above, according to the terms of the Convertible Notes, the conversion price was reset to $7.0822 as of August 15, 2008 based on the weighted average price of the stock on that date. In accordance with ASC Topic 470 (formerly EITF 00-27), a contingency feature that cannot be measured at inception of the instrument, should be recorded when the contingent event occurs. Therefore, on the date of the reset, the difference in the number of indexed shares prior to the reset was compared to the indexed shares subsequent to the reset and this incremental number of shares was multiplied by the commitment date stock price to determine the incremental intrinsic value that resulted from the adjustment to the conversion price. This difference was recorded in equity as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) and the related discount reduced the carrying value of the note and is being amortized over the remaining life of the instrument.

As of August 15, 2008, the number of indexed shares was 3,953,596 and 4,941,967 at the inception conversion price and reset conversion price, respectively. At the commitment date, the stock price was $6.09, and the “effective” conversion price was $6.93. Accordingly, since the effective conversion price was higher than the market value of the stock, the debt instruments are not considered "in the money" and no beneficial conversion feature is present.

On the date of inception, allocation of basis in the financing arrangement to the warrants and derivative liability has resulted in an original issue discount to the face value of the convertible notes in the amount of $2,502,588, which amount is subject to amortization over the Convertible Note’s term using the effective method. As of December 31, 2009, the amortization expense balance recorded by the Company was $1,143,343 (including unamortized discount on the YA Global Convertible Note $276,448, which has been written off after its redemption. As the YA Global convertible note has been elected by its holder to be redeemed, the unamortized discount on the convertible note has been written off as expense on the redemption date), remaining $1,359,245 will be amortized over the remaining life of the instrument.

14.	Compound derivative liabilities

The Company has evaluated the convertible notes for terms and conditions that are not clearly and closely associated with the risks of the debt-type host instrument (see Note 13). Generally, such features require separation from the host contract and treatment as derivative financial instruments. Certain features, such as the conversion option, were found to be exempt, as they satisfied the conditions for equity classification in ASC Topic 815 (formerly the paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133) for instruments (1) indexed with the Company’s own stock, and (2) classified as equity in financial position statement. Other features, such as puts and redemption features were found to require bifurcation and recognition as derivative liabilities based on the provision of ASC Topic 815 (formerly the paragraph 12 of SFAS 133). These derivative liabilities are recognized both at inception and the end of each reporting period at fair value, using forward cash-flow valuation techniques, until such liabilities arrangement are eventually settled, converted or paid. As of February 15, 2008, the compound derivative value amounted to $1,703,962. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the compound derivative value amounted to $880,009 and $1,502,597. The income from adjustment of fair value of compound derivative has been recorded in the income statement as gain or loss on change in fair value of derivative. (See note 13 and 25)

The fair value of compound derivative liabilities at inception and the end of each reporting period was calculated based on the following assumptions:

(1) Credit risk adjusted based on publicly available research/investigation: The Company develops credit risk assumptions by reference to corporate bond spreads in the market that the Company's equity security trades. Bond yields were selected as the principal market indicator because such yields are presumed to provide information that assigns yields directly to any company's assumed credit rating. Credit ratings are established through formal analysis of bond inception and trading activity by Standard & Poor, Moody's and Fitch. The Company believes that it is likely that a market-participant would look to this indicator for purposes of assessing the credit risk associated with the investment. The calculation of the risk adjusted yield requires its measurement against a risk-free rate. The Company has chosen the publicly quoted yields on zero-coupon US Government Securities.

(2) Probability of certain default event occurred: Compound derivatives are bifurcated pursuant to SFAS 133.12. The fair value of compound derivatives is predicated on a probability assessment of the likelihood of a triggering event and the incremental value embodied in the hybrid instrument (See Note 13 regarding the assessment of compound derivatives. For example: mandatory redemption requires the gross yield arrived at 13% and annual redemption requires the gross yield arrived at 11%. ). The Company has assessed the probability of the likelihood of a triggering event at inception and completion of each reporting period:

	February 15, 2008 (Inception)	December 31, 2008	December 31, 2009	Comments
Default put:	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%
Service default	Low	Low	Low	The Company has an established history of debt service and projections indicate ability to service.
Bankruptcy/liquidation	Low	Low	Low	This event is within the Company's control.
Material judgments	Low	Low	Low	The Company is not aware of any asserted or unasserted claims that would trigger such event.
Suspension of listing*	Low	Low	Low	The Company is not aware of any indications that would result in suspension.

Non-registration events:	0.5%	0.5%	0.5%

Filing*	Low	Low	Low	The filing of a registration statement is highly probable.
Effectiveness*	Low	Low	Low	Management has a history of making its filings and maintaining listing of its securities.
Continuous Effectiveness*	Low	Low	Low	Management has a history of making its filings and maintaining listing of its securities.
Share non-delivery	0.5%	0.5%	0.5%	The risk is low because delivery is within the Company's control.
Mandatory redemption put:	4.0%	15.0%	1.5%
Maintenance of share price at a certain level**	4.0%	15.0%	1.5%	This is not within the Company’s control. This put is only available subsequent to February 15, 2009 and only if the stock price is <45% of the conversion price for 20 trading days. Therefore, the risk of mandatory redemption was low at February 15, 2008 (Inception date). On December 31, 2008, the stock price has maintained a value barely above 45% of the adjusted conversion price, so the risk of mandatory redemption was high. On December 31, 2009, the stock price was 164% above the adjusted conversion price, so the risk of mandatory redemption was low.
Suspension of listing and non-registration events*	Low	Low	Low	The Company is not aware of any indications that would result in suspension, and filing of a registration statement is highly probable.

Annual Redemption Rights:	25.0%	30.0%	11.7%

Allows for redemption rights on specific dates**	25.0%	30.0%	11.7%	This is not within the Company’s control. On February 15, 2008 (Inception) and December 31, 2008, the stock prices were below the adjusted conversion price, so the risk of annual redemption was high. On December 31, 2009, the stock price was 164% above the adjusted conversion price, so the risk of annual redemption was low.

Optional Redemption Feature:	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%
Allows for redemption if < 10% of note is outstanding	Low	Low	Low	This is at the Company's option.
Henglong Make Whole Amount and Redemption Right	Low	Low	Low	This is not within the Company's control, however, the funds related to the Henglong transaction were held in an escrow account until March 31, 2008 at which time the Henglong transaction was completed. The Henglong Make Whole and Redemption amounts were not applicable unless the Company did not consummate the Henglong transaction by April 15th. Since the transaction did consummate prior to April 15, 2008 and the funds were held in escrow prior to that time, there was no value assigned to the puts associated with the Henglong transaction.
Change in Control Put:	0.5%	0.5%	0.5%
Change in control*	0.5%	0.5%	0.5%	Not within Company's control- however, there are no impending or planned events.

*Represent the event is not within the Company's control, but the probability of a triggering event is low.

**Represent the event is not within the Company's control, and the probability of a triggering event is high. The assessment of such probability was based on the probability of the historical trading price of the Company's common stock above or under Strike price for previous periods (same with the remaining period of the instruments). For example, the triggering event of maintaining the stock price at a certain level, is the Company's stock weighted average price for twenty (20) consecutive trading days below $3.187, which is 45% of the reset Conversion Price of $7.0822. The triggering event allows for redemption rights on specific dates, is maintaining the stock price at $8.6 or lower.

According to the analysis and data above, change of the fair value of compound derivative liabilities for the reporting period was mainly based on the price change of the Company’s trading common stock. It was estimated that, if the probability of the stock price above $8.6 was high, the probability of redemption was low, because the Convertible notes holders would gain 11% or more income by converting into common stock at this price level, which was higher than the income from bond market or redemption of Convertible notes upon any occurrence of triggering events as defined in the debt agreement. As of December 31, 2009, the fair value of compound derivative liabilities was $880,009, significantly lower than $1,502,597 on December 31, 2008, mainly as a result of the recent market recovery, the Company’s stock price rose dramatically, the probability of the Company’s stock price trading above $8.6 rose, accordingly, the probability of redemption declined.

15.	Accrued expenses and other payables

The Company’s accrued expenses and other payables at December 31, 2009 and 2008 are summarized as follows:

	December 31,

*The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties when the products are sold. Such estimates of product warranties were based on, among other things, historical experience, product changes, material expenses, service and transportation expenses arising from the manufactured product. Estimates will be adjusted on the basis of actual claims and circumstances.

For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the warranties activities were as follows:

	December 31,
	2009			2008
Balance at the beginning of year	$	6,335,613		$	4,919,491
Additions during the year		10,192,749			5,861,782
Settlement within the year		(7,442,984	)		(4,797,457	)
Foreign currency translation		7,084			351,797
Balance at end of year	$	9,092,462		$	6,335,613

The Company has recorded $9,092,462 and $6,335,613 product warranty reserves as at December 31, 2009 and 2008, which were included in the accrued expenses and other payables in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

**In connection with the Convertible Debt, the Company issued 1,317,864 of detachable warrants, “Warrants,” to purchase from the Company shares of common stock at the exercise price of $ 8.8527 per share, subject to adjustments upon certain events occurring as defined in the debt agreement. The Warrants were exercisable immediately and expired on February 15, 2009.

The exercise price or the number of shares to be converted by the Warrant will be adjusted in the event of no effective Registration Statement or delayed effectiveness of the Registration Statement. In addition a damage penalty will be paid if the delivery of share certificates occurs upon the Warrants conversion.

The Company will not effect any conversion of a Warrant, and each holder of any Warrant will not have the right to convert any portion of such Warrant to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, each of these two holders would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.

If and whenever on or after the issuance date, the Company issues or sells its shares of common stock or other convertible securities for a consideration per share less than a price equal to the exercise price of a Warrant in effect on the issuance date immediately prior to such issue or sale, the exercise price of such Warrant then in effect will be adjusted.

The warrants issued in connection with the financial arrangement were derivative instruments. The warrants require net cash settlement in the event that there is a fundamental transaction, contractually defined as a merger, sale of substantially all assets, tender offer or share exchange.

In accordance with guidance now incorporated in ASC Topic 480 (formerly SFAS 150), it appears that the warrants require liability classification due to the possible cash redemption upon the event of an all cash acquisition. The FSP clarifies that warrants that contain any redemption features, including contingent redemption features, must be recorded as liabilities and marked to fair value each reporting period. As of the issuance date, i.e., February 15, 2008, the fair value of warrants was $798,626. Such warrant liabilities will be adjusted to its estimated fair value at the completion of each reporting period until the maturity of February 15, 2009.

The warrant agreements contain strike price adjustment provisions. In accordance with Section 8(iii), if the rate at which any Convertible Instruments are convertible into changes at any time, the warrant exercise price in effect at the time of the change will be adjusted based on the formula provided in Section 8(a) of the warrant agreement. Accordingly, the warrants will be valued at the exercise price of $8.55 as of August 15, 2008 and thereafter.

As of August 15, 2008, the Company valued the warrant using conversion price at inception and reset respectively. The fair value of the warrant is $489,719 at the inception conversion price of $8.8527, and $551,131 at the reset conversion price of $8.55, respectively.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the fair value of warrant was $0 and $1,977, respectively. On February 15, 2009, the warrant matured and was unexercised, and the right of exercising the warrants was forfeited. The income from adjustment of fair value of liabilities in connection with warrants has been recorded in the income statement as gain or loss on change in fair value of derivative. (See note 25)

As of Issuance Date (February 15, 2008), Reset date (August 15, 2008) and the end of each reporting period, the fair value of liabilities in connection with warrants was calculated using Black-Scholes option pricing model and based on the following assumptions:

	February 15, 2008			August 15, 2008			August 15, 2008			December 31,			February 15, 2009
	Issuance Date			Prior to reset			Subsequent to reset			2008			Maturity date

*** The volatility for the remaining contractual term was calculated and was consistent with historical term.

**** The Risk-free rate elected was zero-coupon US Government Securities, and have the same term as the remaining contractual term. Is was considered an appropriate index because it is a general index that a market participant will used to trade in the Company’s common stock market.

***** It was estimated that the Company would not distribute any dividend.

As above, the significant change in fair value of warrant between reporting period and inception, primarily due to a decrease of trading price of the Company’s common stock and a decrease of days for contract execution deadline or un-exercised on maturity date (February 15, 2009), the right of warrant forfeited.

***In July 2004, the Company adopted a stock incentive plan. The maximum number of common shares for issuance under this plan is 2,200,000 with a period of 10 years. The stock incentive plan provides for the issuance, to the Company’s officers, directors, management and employees who served over three years or have given outstanding performance, of options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Since the adoption of the stock incentive plan, the Company has issued 433,850 stock options under this plan, and there remain 1,766,150 stock options issuable in the future as of December 31, 2009.

Stock options granted under the aforementioned plans have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock traded on NASDAQ on the date of grant, and will expire two to five years after the grant date. Except for the 298,850 options granted to management on December 2008, which become exercisable on a ratable basis over the vesting period, the others were exercisable immediately on the grant date. Stock options will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock upon exercise and are recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Additional paid-in capital.” As of December 31, 2009, the Company has sufficient unissued registered common stock for settlement of stock incentive plan mentioned above.

The fair value of stock option was determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option model requires management to make various estimates and assumptions, including expected term, expected volatility, risk-free rate, and dividend yield. The expected term represents the period of time that stock-based compensation awards granted are expected to be outstanding and is estimated based on considerations including the vesting period, contractual term and anticipated employee exercise patterns. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in relation to the contractual life of stock-based compensation instrument. The dividend yield assumption is based on historical patterns and future expectations for the Company dividends.

Assumption used to estimate the fair value of stock options on the granted date are as follows:

Issuance Date	Expected volatility			Risk-free rate			Expected term (years)		Dividend yield
September 10, 2009		153.6	%		2.38	%		5		0.00	%
December 10, 2008		134.39	%		1.21	%		3		0.00	%
June 25, 2008		98.29	%		3.34	%		5		0.00	%

The stock options granted during 2009 were exercisable immediately, the fair value on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was $196,650, and have been recorded as compensation costs.

The stock options granted during 2008 were partially exercisable immediately, and partially exercisable pro rata during the grant term. The stock options' fair value on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was $845,478, of which $345,426 have been recorded as compensation costs. $250,026 of the remaining unrecognized cost of $500,052 has been recognized in 2009, and thereafter the remaining unrecognized cost of $250,026 will be recognized in 2010.

The activities of stock options are summarized as follows, including granted, exercised and forfeited.

	Shares			Weighted-Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Contractual Term (years)
Outstanding - January 1, 2008		67,500		$	7.26		4.7

The following is a summary of the range of exercise prices for stock options that are outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2009:

Range of Exercise Prices	Outstanding Stock Options		Weighted Average Remaining Life		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Number of Stock Options Exercisable

$2.00 - $4.49		291,350		1.94	$	2.93		194,733
$4.50 - $10.00		52,500		3.05	$	7.54		52,500
		343,850						247,233

As of December 31, 2009, as the fair value of the Company’s stock options that were outstanding and exercisable were both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company did not assess their intrinsic value. The average weighted fair value of stock options granted were $2.63 and $8.74 in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

As of March 20, 2006 and February 15, 2008, the Company issued 156,250 shares and 1,317,864 shares of warrant to different investors, with term of three years and one year, respectively. Such warrants have not been exercised on March 20, 2009 and February 15, 2009 (their maturity dates), and the right of warrants was forfeited. As of December 31, 2009, the Company did not have any warrant outstanding. The fair value of warrant was determined on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. (See Note 15)

22 .Retained earnings

Pursuant to the relevant PRC laws and regulations of Sino-foreign joint venture enterprises, the profits distribution of the Company’s Sino-foreign subsidiaries, which are based on their PRC statutory financial statements, are available for distribution in the form of cash dividends after these subsidiaries have paid all relevant PRC tax liabilities, provided for losses in previous years, and made appropriations to statutory surplus at 10%.

The Company recorded $798,756 statutory surplus reserve for the year 2009.

When the statutory surplus reserve reaches 50% of the registered capital of a company, additional reserve is no longer required. However, the reserve cannot be distributed to joint venture partners. Based on the business licenses of the Sino-foreign joint ventures, the registered capital of Henglong, Jiulong, Shenyang, Zhejiang, USAI, Jielong, Wuhu, and Hengsheng are $10,000,000, $4,283,170 (RMB35,000,000), $8,132,530 (RMB67,500,000), $7,000,000, $2,600,000, $6,000,000, $3,750,387 (RMB30,000,000), and $10,000,000 respectively.

Net income as reported in the US GAAP financial statements differs from that reported in the PRC statutory financial statements. In accordance with relevant laws and regulations in the PRC, profits available for distribution are based on the statutory financial statements. If the Company has foreign currency available after meeting its operational needs, the Company may make its profit distributions in foreign currency to the extent foreign currency is available. Otherwise, it is necessary to obtain approval and convert such distributions at an authorized bank.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company received $94,534 for interest subsidy, and had no investment subsidy. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company received $264,978 for interest subsidy, and $802,331 for reinvestment subsidy.

During 2008, Genesis, as a foreign investor, has received $802,331 for re-investment in Jiulong and Henglong with their profit distribution, and those entities were technologically advanced enterprises and entitled to such subsidies.

The calculations of diluted income per share attributable to Parent company were:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2009		2008

31.	Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.

32. Subsequent Events

On January 24, 2010, Genesis entered into a sino-foreign equity joint venture contract with Beijing Hainachuan Auto Parts Co., Ltd., to establish a sino-foreign joint venture company, Beijing Henglong Automotive System Co., Ltd. “Beijing Henglong”, to design, develop and manufacture both hydraulic and electric power steering systems and parts. Under PRC laws, the establishment of Beijing Henglong and the effectiveness of the equity joint venture contract are subject to the approval by the local Ministry of Commerce and the registration of the same with the local Administration of Industries and Commerce in Beijing. As of the date of releasing this report, the approval has not been obtained.

On February 24, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to increase the registered capital of Hengsheng, one of the Company’s subsidiaries, to $16,000,000 from $10,000,000. The additional investment will be used for expansion of plant and purchase of machinery and equipment and will be funded by the Company’s working capital balances. As of the date of this report, the additional investment has been injected into Hengsheng.

33.	Segment reporting

The accounting policies of the product sectors are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies except that the disaggregated financial results for the product sectors have been prepared using a management approach, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which management internally disaggregates financial information for the purposes of assisting them in making internal operating decisions. Generally, the Company evaluates performance based on stand-alone product sector operating income and accounts for inter segment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, at current market prices.

During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had nine product sectors, five of them were principal profit makers, which were reported as separate sectors which engaged in the production and sales of power steering (Henglong), power steering (Jiulong), power steering (Shenyang), power pumps (Zhejiang), and power steering (Wuhu). The other four sectors which were established in 2005, 2006 and 2007 respectively, engaged in the production and sales of sensor modular (USAI), electronic power steering (Jielong), power steering (Hengsheng), and provider of after sales and R&D services (HLUSA). Since the revenues, net income and net assets of these four sectors are less than 10% of its segment in the consolidated financial statements, the Company incorporated these four sectors into “other sectors”.

The Company’s product sectors information is as follows:
