2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Financial
Instruments
Management
has estimated that the carrying amounts of non-related party financial
instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.
The fair value of amounts due from (to) related parties is not practicable to
estimate due to the related party nature of the underlying
transactions.
Fair Value
Accounting
Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures”, previously FAS No.157, establishes a fair value
hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure
fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1
measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3
measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are
described below:

Unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement
date for identical, unrestricted assets or
liabilities;
|

Quoted
prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable,

Prices
or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to
the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no
market activity).

At
September 30, 2009, the Company’s financial assets consist of cash placed with
financial institutions management considers to be of a high quality, which
management considers to be a Level 1 measurement..
Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company also adopted ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”,
previously SFAS No. 159, “The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115”, which allows an entity
to choose to measure certain financial instruments and liabilities at fair value
on a contract-by-contract basis. Subsequent fair value measurement for the
financial instruments and liabilities an entity chooses to measure will be
recognized in earnings. As of September 30, 2009, the Company did not elect such
option for its financial instruments and liabilities.
Foreign Currency Translation
and Other Comprehensive Income
The
reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of
Ever-Glory, Perfect Dream and Ever-Glory HK is the U.S. dollar. The functional
currency of Goldenway, New Tailun, Catch-luck, LA GO GO and Ever-Glory Apparel
is the Chinese RMB.
For the
subsidiaries whose functional currencies are the RMB, all assets and liabilities
are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; stockholders’
equity is translated at the historical rates and items in the statement of
operations are translated at the average rate for the period. Translation
adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ equity. The resulting
translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on
transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are
included in the results of operations as incurred and amounted to $3,062,
$1,561, $72,094 and $289,539 for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 , respectively. Items in the cash flow statements
are translated at the average exchange rate for the periods.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
Embedded
Derivatives
(Included
in ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, previously SFAS 133)
In June
2008, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 07-5 “Determining whether
an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF
No. 07-5”). This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. Early application is not permitted. Paragraph 11(a) of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No 133 “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging
Activities” (“SFAS 133”) specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the
definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own
stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of
financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument.
EITF No.07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether
a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own
stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception.
This standard triggers liability accounting on all options and warrants
exercisable at strike prices denominated in any currency other than the
functional currency of the operating entity in China (Renminbi). Adoption of
EITF No. 07-5 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed
consolidated financial statements.

Business
Combinations
(Included
in ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, previously SFAS No. 141(R))
This ASC
guidance revised SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” and
addresses the accounting and disclosure for identifiable assets acquired,
liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in a business combination.
Adoption of this standard on January 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on
the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, as the Company did
not enter into a business combination during the nine months ended September 30,
2009.
Noncontrolling
Interests
(Included
in ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51)
SFAS 160
establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest
in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated
financial statements. The Company adopted SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009. As a
result, the Company has reclassified financial statement line items within the
Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Income and
Comprehensive Income for the prior period to conform to this
standard.
Interim
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
(Included in ASC 825 “Financial
Instruments”, previously FSP SFAS No. 107-1)
This
guidance requires that the fair value disclosures required for all financial
instruments within the scope of SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments”, be included in interim financial statements. This
guidance also requires entities to disclose the method and significant
assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an
interim and annual basis and to highlight any changes from prior periods. FSP
107-1 was effective for interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. The
adoption of FSP 107-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Subsequent
Events
(Included
in ASC 855 “Subsequent Events”, previously SFAS No. 165)
SFAS
No.165, “Subsequent
Events” establishes accounting and disclosure requirements for subsequent
events. SFAS 165 details the period after the balance sheet date during
which the Company should evaluate events or transactions that occur for
potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the
circumstances under which the Company should recognize events or transactions
occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the
required disclosures for such events. The Company adopted this statement
and has evaluated all subsequent events through November 9, 2009.
FASB
Accounting Standards Codification
(Accounting
Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-1)
In June
2009, the FASB approved its Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”)
as the single source of authoritative United States accounting and reporting
standards applicable for all non-governmental entities, with the exception of
the SEC and its staff. The Codification is effective for interim or annual
financial periods ending after September 15, 2009 and impacts the Company’s
financial statements as all future references to authoritative accounting
literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification. There have
been no changes to the content of the Company’s financial statements or
disclosures as a result of implementing the Codification during the quarter
ended September 30, 2009.
As a
result of the Company’s implementation of the Codification during the quarter
ended September 30, 2009, previous references to new accounting standards and
literature are no longer applicable. In the current quarter financial
statements, the Company will provide reference to both new and old guidance to
assist in understanding the impact of recently adopted accounting literature,
particularly for guidance adopted since the beginning of the current fiscal year
but prior to the Codification.

The
Company’s operating subsidiaries are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC
concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and various
local income tax laws (“the Income Tax Laws”).
Beginning
January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law replaced the old laws
for Domestic Enterprises (“DES”) and Foreign Invested Enterprises
(“FIEs”).
The key
changes are:
|
a.
|
The
new standard EIT rate of 25% replaces the 33% rate applicable to both DES
and FIEs, except for High-Tech companies that pay a reduced rate of
15%;
|
|
b.
|
Companies
established before March 16, 2007 continue to enjoy tax holiday treatment
approved by local governments for a grace period of either the next 5
years, or until the tax holiday term is completed, whichever is
sooner.

Ever-Glory
International Group Inc. was incorporated in the United States and has incurred
net operating losses for income tax purposes through September 30, 2009.
The net operating loss carry forwards for United States income taxes may be
available to reduce future years’ taxable income. These carry forwards will
expire, if not utilized, through 2029. Management believes that the realization
of the benefits from these losses appears uncertain due to our limited operating
history and continuing losses for United States income tax purposes.
Accordingly, we have provided a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax
asset to reduce the asset to zero.
Income
tax expense was $130,479, $692,206, $273,203, and $841,850 for the three and

Amounts Due From Related Party
Jiangsu
Ever-Glory International Group Corp., (“Jiangsu Ever-Glory”) is an entity
engaged in importing/exporting, apparel-manufacture, real-estate development,
car sales and other activities. Jiangsu Ever-Glory is controlled by the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Because of restrictions on the Company’s
ability to directly import and export products, the Company utilizes Jiangsu
Ever-Glory as its agent, to assist the Company with its import and export
transactions and its international transportation projects. Import transactions
primarily consist of purchases of raw materials and accessories designated by
the Company’s customers for use in garment manufacture. Export transactions
consist of the Company’s sales to foreign markets such as Japan, Europe and the
United States. As the Company’s agent, Jiangsu Ever-Glory’s responsibilities
include managing customs, inspection, transportation, insurance
and collections on behalf of the Company. Jiangsu Ever-Glory also manages
transactions denominated in currencies other than the Chinese RMB at rates of
exchange agreed between the Company and Jiangsu Ever-Glory and based upon rates
of exchange quoted by the People’s Bank of China. In return for these services,
Jiangsu Ever-Glory charges the Company a fee of approximately 3% of export
sales. For import transactions, the Company may make advance
payments, through Jiangsu Ever-Glory, for the raw material purchases, or Jiangsu
Ever-Glory may make advance payments on the Company’s behalf. For export
transactions, accounts receivable for export sales are remitted by the Company’s
customers through Jiangsu Ever-Glory, who forwards the payments to the Company.
The Company and Jiangsu Ever-Glory have agreed that balances from import and
export transactions may be offset. Amounts due to (from) Jiangsu
Ever-Glory are typically settled within 60-90 days. Interest of 0.5% is charged
on net amounts due at each month end. Interest income for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $179,560, $443,051,
$37,752 and $113,216, respectively. Following is a summary of import and export

NOTE 9 CONCENTRATIONS
AND RISKS
The
Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the normal course of
business and generally does not require collateral. As a result, management
performs ongoing credit evaluations, and the Company maintains an allowance for
potential credit losses based upon its loss history and its aging analysis.
Based on management’s assessment of the amount of probable credit losses, if
any, in existing accounts receivable, management has concluded that no allowance
for doubtful accounts is necessary at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008
. Management reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts each reporting
period based on a detailed analysis of accounts receivable. In the analysis,
management primarily considers the age of the customer’s receivable and also
considers the credit worthiness of the customer, the economic conditions of
the customer’s industry, and general economic conditions and trends, among other
factors. If any of these factors change, the Company may also change its
original estimates, which could impact the level of the Company’s future
allowance for doubtful accounts. If judgments regarding the
collect ability of accounts receivable were incorrect, adjustments to
the allowance may be required, which would reduce
profitability.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
|
The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 should be read
in conjunction with the Financial Statements and corresponding notes included in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our discussion includes forward-looking
statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties,
such as our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions. Actual results and
the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those
set forth under the Risk Factors and Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements in this report. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,”
“plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,”
“may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify
forward-looking statements.
Overview
Our
Business
We are a
leading apparel supply chain manager and retailer in China, and are listed on
the NYSE Amex.
We
classify our businesses into two segments: wholesale and retail. Our wholesale
business consists of wholesale-channel sales made principally to established
brands, department stores and specialty stores located throughout Europe, the
U.S., Japan and the People’s Republic of China (PRC). We have a focus on
well-known, middle-to-high grade casual wear, sportswear, and outerwear brands.
Our retail business consists of retail-channel sales directly to consumers
through full-price retail stores located throughout the PRC.
Although
we have our own manufacturing facilities, we currently outsource most of the
manufacturing to our strategic alliances as part of our overall business
strategy. Outsourcing allows us to maximize our production capacity
and maintain flexibility while reducing capital expenditures and the costs of
keeping skilled workers on production lines during low season. Our management
oversees the long-term contractors and inspects products manufactured by them to
ensure that they meet our high quality control standards and timely delivery.
Our annual production capacity including outsourcing orders is in excess of 12
million pieces.
On
January 6, 2009, we established Ever-Glory International Group Apparel Inc.
(“Ever-Glory Apparel”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldenway. Ever-Glory
Apparel is principally engaged in the import and export of apparel, fabric and
accessories. On September 15, 2009, we established Ever-Glory International
Group (HK) Ltd.(“Ever-Glory HK”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Perfect Dream.
Ever-Glory Apparel and Ever-Glory HK are principally engaged in the import and
export of apparel, fabric and accessories. In order to reduce transaction
related costs, we have been gradually shifting our import and export business to
Ever-Glory Apparel and Ever-Glory HK. We previously utilized Jiangsu Ever-Glory
International Group Corporation (“Jiangsu Ever-Glory”), an entity
controlled by Mr. Edward Yihua Kang, our Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer, to assist with our import and export
transactions.
On March
23, 2009, Goldenway transferred all of its ownership interest in LA GO GO to
Ever-Glory Apparel.
Wholesale
Business
We
conduct our original design manufacturing (ODM) operations through four
wholly-owned subsidiaries which are located in the Nanjing Jiangning Economic
and Technological Development Zone and Shang Fang Town in the Jiangning District
in Nanjing, China: Ever-Glory International Group Apparel Inc. (“Ever-Glory
Apparel”), Goldenway Nanjing Garments Company Limited (“Goldenway”), Nanjing
New-Talent Garments Company Limited (“New Talent”), and Nanjing Catch-Luck
Garments Co., Ltd. (“Catch-Luck”).
19
Retail
Business
We
conduct our retail operations through Shanghai LA GO GO Fashion Company Limited
(“LA GO GO”), a joint venture of Ever-Glory Apparel and Shanghai La Chapelle
Garment and Accessories Company Limited, located in Shanghai, China. The
business objective of the joint venture is to establish a leading brand of
ladies’ garments and to build a retail and wholesale distribution channel for
the mainland Chinese market.

We
believe the strength of our wholesale business is due to our consistent emphasis
on innovative and distinct product designs with exceptional styling and quality.

proven ability to design, market and distribute our own brand through

|
Despite
the various risks and uncertainties associated with the current global economy,
we believe our core strengths will continue to allow us to execute our strategy
for long-term sustainable growth in revenue, net income and operating cash
flow.
Seasonality
of Business
Our
business is affected by seasonal trends, with higher levels of wholesale sales
in our third and fourth quarters and higher retail sales in our first and fourth
quarters. These trends result primarily from the timing of seasonal wholesale
shipments and holiday periods in the retail segment.
Collection
Policy
Wholesale
business
For our
new customers, we generally require orders placed to be backed by letters of
credit. For our long-term and established customers with a good payment track
record, we generally provide payment terms between 30 to 120 days following
delivery of finished goods.
Retail
business
For
store-in-store shops, we generally receive payments from the stores between
60-90 days following the time of register receipt. For our own stores, we
receive payments at the point of sale. .
Global
Economic Uncertainty
Our
business is dependent on consumer demand for our products. We believe that the
significant uncertainty in the global economy and a slowdown in the U.S. and the
European economy have increased our clients’ sensitivity to the cost of our
products as reflected in our revenues for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009 when compared to the same periods in 2008. We have
experienced continued pricing pressure this year. If the global economic
environment continues to be weak, these worsening economic conditions could have
a negative impact on the Company’s sales growth and operating margins in our
wholesale segment in this year.
In
addition, economic conditions in the United States and in foreign markets in
which we operate could substantially affect our sales and profitability and our
cash position and collection of accounts receivable. Global credit
and capital markets have experienced unprecedented volatility and disruption.
Business credit and liquidity have tightened in much of the world. Some of our
suppliers and customers may face credit issues and could experience cash flow
problems and other financial hardships. These factors currently have not had an
impact on the timeliness of receivable collections from our customers. The
Company cannot predict at this point in time how this situation will develop and
whether accounts receivable may need to be allowed or for written off in the
coming quarter.
21
Summary
of Critical Accounting Policies
We have
identified critical accounting policies that, as a result of judgments,
uncertainties, uniqueness and complexities of the underlying accounting
standards and operation involved could result in material changes to our
financial position or results of operations under different conditions or using
different assumptions.
Revenue
Recognition
We
recognize revenue, net of value added taxes, upon delivery for domestic sales
and upon shipment of the products for international sales, at which time title
passes to the customer provided that there are no uncertainties regarding
customer acceptance, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales
price is fixed and determinable and collectability is deemed probable. Retail
sales are recorded at the time of register receipt.
Estimates
and Assumptions
In
preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we use estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Our estimates are
often based on complex judgments, probabilities and assumptions that we believe
to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. We are
also subject to other risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to
differ from estimated amounts. Significant estimates in 2009 and 2008 include
the estimated residual value and useful lives of property and equipment, and the
assumptions we made when we used the Black-Scholes option price model to value
warrants granted.
Inventory
Inventories,
consisting of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods related to our
products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the specific
identification method. From July 1, 2009 we purchased raw materials through
Goldenway which previously purchased through Jiangsu Ever-Glory and then
deliveried those raw materials to the factories for manufacturing. Those raw
materials deliveried for manufacturing are included in work-in-process. Because
of this change the raw material and work-in-process increased rapidly by the end
of this quarter.
Details
regarding our use of these policies and the related estimates are described in
the accompanying notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. There
have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies that impacted
our financial condition or results of operations.

In June 2008, the FASB
issued Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 07-5 “Determining whether an Instrument
(or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 07-5”).
This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. Early application is not permitted. Paragraph 11(a) of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No 133 “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging
Activities” (“SFAS 133”) specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the
definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own
stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of
financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument.
EITF No.07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether
a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own
stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception.
This standard triggers liability accounting on all options and warrants
exercisable at strike prices denominated in any currency other than the
functional currency of the operating entity in China (Renminbi). Adoption of
EITF No. 07-5 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed
consolidated financial statements.
22
Business
Combinations
(Included
in ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, previously SFAS No. 141(R))
This ASC
guidance revised SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” and
addresses the accounting and disclosure for identifiable assets acquired,
liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in a business combination.
Adoption of this standard on January 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on
the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, as the Company did
not enter into a business combination during the nine months ended September 30,
2009.
Noncontrolling
Interests
(Included
in ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51)
SFAS 160
establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest
in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated
financial statements. The Company adopted SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009. As a
result, the Company has reclassified financial statement line items within the
Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Income and
Comprehensive Income for the prior period to conform to this
standard.
Interim
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
(Included in ASC 825 “Financial
Instruments”, previously FSP SFAS No. 107-1)
This
guidance requires that the fair value disclosures required for all financial
instruments within the scope of SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments”, be included in interim financial statements. This
guidance also requires entities to disclose the method and significant
assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an
interim and annual basis and to highlight any changes from prior periods. FSP
107-1 was effective for interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. The
adoption of FSP 107-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Subsequent
Events
(Included
in ASC 855 “Subsequent Events”, previously SFAS No. 165)
SFAS
No.165, “Subsequent
Events” establishes accounting and disclosure requirements for subsequent
events. SFAS 165 details the period after the balance sheet date during
which the Company should evaluate events or transactions that occur for
potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the
circumstances under which the Company should recognize events or transactions
occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the
required disclosures for such events. The Company adopted this statement
and has evaluated all subsequent events through November 9, 2009.
FASB
Accounting Standards Codification
(Accounting
Standards Update “ASU”) 2009-1)
In June
2009, the FASB approved its Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”)
as the single source of authoritative United States accounting and reporting
standards applicable for all non-governmental entities, with the exception of
the SEC and its staff. The Codification is effective for interim or annual
financial periods ending after September 15, 2009 and impacts the Company’s
financial statements as all future references to authoritative accounting
literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification. There have
been no changes to the content of the Company’s financial statements or
disclosures as a result of implementing the Codification during the quarter
ended September 30, 2009.
23
As a
result of the Company’s implementation of the Codification during the quarter
ended September 30, 2009, previous references to new accounting standards and
literature are no longer applicable. In the current quarter financial
statements, the Company will provide reference to both new and old guidance to
assist in understanding the impacts of recently adopted accounting literature,
particularly for guidance adopted since the beginning of the current fiscal year
but prior to the Codification.

We
generate revenues primarily from our wholesale business from international
markets. We also generate revenues from our retail business from the Chinese
domestic market focusing on our own apparel brand: LA GO GO.
Total
sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $24.9 million a
decrease of 21.8% from the three months ended September 30, 2008. Although
sales in our retail business increased significantly during the third quarter of
2009, sales in our wholesale business decreased 27.7% due to the global economic
slowdown.
Sales
generated from our wholesale business contributed 89.5%% or $22.3 million of our
total sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $30.8
million in the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Sales

total sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of
152.8% compared to $1.0 million in the three months ended September 30,
2008 due to we had 154 LA GO GO stores by the end of this quarter while 55 LA GO
GO stores in the same time of 2008 . In the third quarter of 2009 we opened 25

There are
two operational patterns in our apparel making and trading business CMT or
“Cutting, Making and Trim”, and FOB or “Freight on Board”. Under the CMT model,
our buyers supply us with the main raw materials, and we charge them for
production, whereby cash flow are reduced. FOB is a generally adopted business
model where the price is composed of both raw material and production
charges.
Total raw
materials costs decreased 20.6% to $10.9 million in the quarter ended September
30, 2009 versus $13.7 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2008. As a
percent of sales, raw materials cost for our wholesale business accounted for
48.9% of our total wholesale sales in the three months ended September 30, 2009,
an increase of 4.4% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008.
This increase was primarily due to an increase in our FOB orders during the
quarter.
Total
labor costs decreased 4.8% to $808,145 during the three months ended September
30, 2009 versus $849,187 million during the three months ended September 30,
2008. As a percent of sales, labor costs for our wholesale business accounted
for 3.6% of our total wholesale sales during the three months ended September
30, 2009, an increase of 0.8% compared to the three months ended September 30,
2008. This increase was primarily due to decreased outsourcing
orders during the quarter.
Total
outsourced production costs decreased 42.2% to $6.8 million during the three
months ended September 30, 2009 versus $11.8 million during the three months
ended September 30, 2008. This decrease was primarily due to decreased
sales during the quarter. As a percent of sales, outsourced production
costs for our wholesale business accounted for 30.7% of our total sales during
the three months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of 7.7% compared to the
three months ended September 30, 2008.
Total
other costs and overhead decreased 15.3% to $0.17 million during the three
months ended September 30, 2009 versus $0.20 million during the three months
ended September 30, 2008. As a percent of sales, overhead and other expenses for
our wholesale business accounted for 0.7% of our total sales during the three
months ended September 30, 2009, a slight increase compared to the three months
ended September 30, 2008.
26
Production
costs for our retail business were $0.67 million or 26.1% of our total retail
sales during the three months ended September 30, 2009 versus $0.21 million or
20.5% during the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase was
due to the reduced selling prices and increasing the sales volume. Rent costs
for our retail business were $0.89 million or 33.9% of our total retail sales
during the three months ended June 30, 2009 versus $0.45 million or 43.8% during
the three months ended September 30, 2008.The decrease in rent costs as a
percentage of total retail sales was due to an increase of same store sales
during the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Total
cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $20.3 million, a
decrease of 25.6% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008. As a
percentage of total sales, our cost of sales decreased to 81.4% of total sales
for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to 85.6% of
total sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Consequently,
gross margins increased to 18.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2009
from 14.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Gross
profit in our wholesale business for the three months ended September 30, 2009
was $3.6 million, a decrease of 15.1% compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2008. Gross margin was 16.1% for our wholesale business for the
three months ended September 30, 2009 an increase of 2.4% compared to the three
months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in our gross margin was primarily
because we decreased lower margin orders as a continued effort to pursue higher
added value operation.
Gross
profit in our retail business for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was
$1.0 million and gross margin was 40.0%. Gross profit in our retail
business for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $0.4 million and
gross margin was 35.7%.The increase was primarily due to an increase in same
store sales during the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Selling,
General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses
Our
selling expenses consist primarily of freight-out, unloading costs, product
inspection charges, salaries for retail staff, store renovation and marketing
expenses.
Our
general and administrative (G&A) expenses consist primarily of payroll for
executive, finance, accounting, and human resources personnel, office expenses
and professional fees.

expenses were $1.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009 an
increase of 94.7% or $0.53 million compared to the three months ended September
30, 2008. The increase was attributable to an increase of approximately $0.29

for store renovation and marketing expenses associated with the
promotion of LA GO GO.

G&A
expenses were $1.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009 a

management, design and marketing staff as a result of our business expansion,
the total G&A expenses decreased because non-occurrence of the expenses
related to our AMEX listing which occured in the third quarter of 2008.

from Operations
Income
from operations decreased 15.7% to $2.0 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 from $2.3 million in the three months ended September 30,

Interest
Expense
Interest
expense was $0.09 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, a
decrease of 93.6% compared to the same period during 2008. This decrease was
mainly due to the conversion of convertible notes into common stock in
2008.
Income
Tax Expense
Income
tax expense was $0.13 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, a
decrease of 52.2% compared to the same period of 2008. The decrease is primarily
attributable to $1.2 million of pre-tax income being recorded by Perfect-Dream,
a BVI company which has no liabilities to income tax.
Our PRC
subsidiaries are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning Foreign
Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and various local income tax laws
(“the Income Tax Laws”). Each of our consolidating entities files its own
separate tax return.

International Group Inc. was incorporated in the United States and has incurred
net operating losses for income tax purposes through September 30, 2009. The net
operating loss carry forwards for United States income taxes may be available to
reduce future years’ taxable income. These carry forwards will expire, if not
utilized, through 2029. Management believes that the realization of the benefits
from these losses appears uncertain due to our limited operating history and
continuing losses for United States income tax purposes. Accordingly, we have
provided a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset benefit to reduce
the asset to zero.

decreased 20.1% due to the global economic slowdown.
Sales

and average revenue per store was approximately $7,200 per
month.

Total raw
materials costs decreased 22.7% to $27.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 versus $34.9 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2008. As a percent of sales, raw materials cost for our wholesale business
accounted for 45.4% of our total sales for the nine months ended September 30,
2009, a decrease of 1.5% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
This decrease was primarily due to our recently implemented centralized
purchasing function to increase our negotiation power and the increased CMT
orders in the second quarter. Because no material supplied by the buyers is
included in the pricing, only production charges account for the sales
volume. As a result the sales volume appears low while the gross profit is
higher.
Total
labor costs increased 1.5% to $2.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2009 versus $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. As a
percent of sales, labor costs for our wholesale business accounted for 3.8% of
our total sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of 80
basis points compared to the nine months ended September
30, 2008.
Total
outsourced production costs for our wholesale business decreased 24.6% to $18.5
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 versus $24.6 million in the
nine months ended September 30, 2008. As a percent of sales, outsource
production costs were 31.2% of our total sales in the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, a 1.9% decrease compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2008. This decrease in total cost was primarily due to lower
sales volume during the nine months ended September 30,
2009.
30
Overhead
and other expenses for our wholesale business accounted for 1.0% of our total
sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to 0.8% of total
sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease was due
to lower sales volume.
Production
costs for our retail business were to $1.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 as compared to $0.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008. As a percent of sales, retail production costs accounted for
25.0% of our total sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared
to 23.5% of total sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The
increase was due to reduced selling prices in exchange for higher selling
volume.
Rent
costs for our retail business were $2.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 compared to $0.5 for the nine months ended September 30,
2008. As a percent of sales, rent costs accounted for 36.1% of our total sales
in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to 32.2% of total sales in
the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase was due to opening more
flagship stores, which generally have a higher cost per square foot, during
the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Total
cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $52.7
million, compared to $63.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008,
a decrease of 16.4%. As a percentage of total sales, cost of sales decreased to
79.2% of total sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared
to 83.3% of total sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Consequently, gross margin increased to 20.8% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 from 16.7% for the nine months ended September 30,
2008.
We
purchase the majority of our raw materials directly from numerous local fabric
and accessories suppliers. Some of our customers also furnish us with raw
materials so that we can manufacture their products. For our wholesale business,
purchases from our five largest suppliers represented approximately 18.3% and
21.2% of raw materials purchases for the nine months ended September 30, 2009
and 2008, respectively. No one supplier provided more than 10% of our raw
materials purchases for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. For
our retail business, purchases from our five largest suppliers represented
approximately 31.8% and 49.1% of raw materials purchases for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009. No supplier provided more than 10% of our total
purchases for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Three suppliers provided
14.5%, 12.7%, 11.2% of our total purchases for the nine months ended September
30, 2008. We have not experienced difficulty in obtaining raw materials
essential to our business, and we believe we maintain good relationships with
our suppliers.
We also
purchase finished goods from contract manufacturers. For our wholesale business,
purchases from our five largest contract manufacturers represented approximately
41.6% and 37.9% of finished goods purchases for the nine months ended September
30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Two contract manufacturers provided
approximately 17.9% and 11.4% of our finished goods purchases for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009. One contract manufacturer provided
approximately 17.9% of our finished goods purchases for the nine months
ended September 30, 2008. For our retail business, our five largest contract
manufacturers represented approximately 37.8% and 67.9% of finished goods
purchases for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
One contract manufacturer provided 10.0% of our finished goods purchases for the
nine months ended September 30, 2009. Two contract manufacturers provided 40.8%
and 10.0% of our finished goods purchases for the nine months ended September
30, 2008. We have not experienced difficulty in obtaining finished products
from our contract manufacturers and we believe we maintain good
relationships with our contract manufacturers.
Gross
profit in our wholesale business for the nine months ended September 30, 2009
was $11.1 million, a decrease of 8.1% compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2008. Gross margin was 18.6% for our wholesale business for the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 an increase of 2.4% compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in our gross margin
was primarily due to the increase in CMT orders versus FOB orders in
2009.
31
Gross
profit in our retail business for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008 was $2.8 million and $0.62 million respectively. Gross margin in our retail
business for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was 38.9% and
44.3% respectively.

Selling
expenses were $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 an
increase of 140% or $1.7 million compared to the nine months ended September 30,
2008. The increase was attributable to an increase of approximately $0.86
million of salaries for retail staff, and approximately $0.87 million for store
renovation and marketing expenses associated with the promotion of LA GO
GO.
G&A
expenses were $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 an
decrease of 16.0% or approximately $0.78 million compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 2008. The increase was attributable to an increase
of payroll for additional management, design and marketing staff as a result of
our business expansion.
Income
from Operations
Income
from operations decreased 19.8% to $5.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 from $6.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008
as the result of the increasing operating expenses.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense was $0.33 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, a
decrease of 87.6% compared to the same period of 2008. This decrease was mainly
due to the conversion of convertible notes into common stock in
2008.
32
Income
Tax Expense
Income
tax expense was $0.69 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, a
decrease of 17.8% compared to the same period of 2008. The decrease is primarily
attributable to $1.2 million of pre-tax income being recorded by Perfect-Dream,
a BVI company which has no liabilities to income tax.
Net
Income
Net
income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $4.7 million,
an increase of 47.5% compared to the same period of 2008. Our diluted
earnings per share were $0.35 and $0.27 for the nine months ended September 30,
2009 and 2008, respectively.
Noncontrolling
Interest
On
January 9, 2008, Goldenway entered into an Agreement with La Chapelle to form a
joint venture to develop, promote and market a new line of women’s wear in
China. Goldenway agreed to initially invest RMB 6 Million (approximately
$826,200) in cash, and La Chapelle agreed to invest RMB 4 Million (approximately
$553,040) in cash, for a 60%- and 40%- interest in the joint venture,
respectively. The joint venture is included in the Company’s consolidated
financial statements beginning in 2008, and the 40% interest held by La Chapelle
is classified as noncontrolling interest. As of September 30, 2009, the carrying
value in the noncontrolling interest was $557,726.
Summary
of Cash Flows
Net cash
provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009
was $4,196,364 compared with net cash provided by operating activities of
$2,722,697 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This increase was
mainly attributable to increases in accounts receivable and inventories,
partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and decreased amounts
due from related parties as we began to purchase raw materials through Goldenway
during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Net cash
used in investing activities was $955,809 for the nine months ended September
30, 2009, compared with $2,161,350 during the nine months ended September 30,
2008. On January 9, 2008, Goldenway entered into a Capital Contribution
Agreement with La Chapelle, pursuant to which Goldenway invested $1,397,700 in
cash (RMB 10 million) in La Chapelle for a 10% ownership interest in La Chapelle
resulting in the decrease used in net investing activities during the nine
months ended September 30, 2009.
Net cash
used in financing activities was $1,143,402 for the nine months ended September
30, 2009, compared with cash used in financing activities of $411,987
during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 we repaid $13,134,464 of bank loans while receiving loan
proceeds of $11,991,062 from the bank. During the nine months ended September
30, 2008 we repaid $1,990,000 to Blue Power Holding Ltd, an entity
controlled by Mr. Edward Yihua Kang, offset by $553,040 from La Chapelle’s
investment in LA GO GO.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3,561,116, other
current assets of $33,962,897 and current liabilities of $19,059,765. We
presently finance our operations primarily from cash flow from operations and we
anticipate that this will continue to be our primary source of funds to finance
our short-term cash needs.
Bank
Loan
In 2006,
we acquired a fifty-year land use right for 112,442 square meters (approximately
1,209,876 square feet) of land in the Nanjing Jiangning Economic and
Technological Development Zone, which houses our existing facility of 26,629
square meters (approximately 286,528 square feet), including our manufacturing
facility and office space. In 2006, we completed the construction of our new
facilities and moved our headquarters into the new office building and
consolidated part of our operations into our new manufacturing facility in
January 2007. The new manufacturing facility occupies an area of 10,000 square
meters (approximately 107,600 square feet) and is equipped with state-of-the-art
equipment. The land and building are being used as collateral for bank
loans.
33
On July
31, 2008, Goldenway entered into credit agreements with a PRC Bank which allows
the Company to borrow up to $7.3 million (RMB50million) for a 24 month
period. Bank loans are secured by our facilities and are used to fund daily
operations. As of September 30, 2009, we had borrowed approximately $5.1 million
which matures in December 31, 2009, January 14, 2010 and March 11, 2010, at an
interest rate of 5.35% per annum. The maturity of these borrowings can be
extended at our option.
On June,
30, 2009, HSBC Bank (China) Company Limited, Shanghai
Branch,(“HSBC”) granted revolving banking facilities in three
tranches ( “Banking Facilities”) to Perfect Dream. Term of these
Banking Facilities is up to (and including) March 31, 2010, subject to annual
review and renewal at the Lender's sole discretion. Tranche I, import
facilities of up to $0.5 million for up to 90 days, shall be solely used to
facilitate the Borrower's raw material sourcing needs. Tranche II, a
post-shipment finance of up to $1 million up to 60 days with an advance ratio of
85%, shall be solely used to finance receivables due from
Tesco. Tranche III, a pre-shipment finance of up to $1 million with
maximum 90 days before shipment with 70% prepayment ratio, shall be solely used
to finance sourcing and production against copy of purchase order from Tesco.
The applicable interest rate for the Tranche I import facility and the Tranche
III pre-shipment finance shall be 2.5% per annum over Singapore Interbank Money
Market Offer Rate (SIBOR) of USD for 3 months or any other interest period as
may be determined by the Lender and the principal and all accrued interests
shall be paid on the due date of each drawing to the debit of Borrower’s
account. The applicable interest rate for the Tranche II post shipment financing
shall be 2% per annum over SIBOR of USD for 2 months or any other interest
period as may be determined by the Lender and the principal and all accrued
interests shall be paid on the due date of each drawing to the debit of the
Borrower’s account. The Company shall apply the loan proceeds for the
purpose as set out above and shall comply with the relevant PRC laws and
regulations. HSBC may, at its sole and absolute discretion, refuse to allow
drawings under the facilities if the drawee is considered to be unacceptable and
/ or if the transaction in question does not meet HSBC’s operational
requirements in respect of these Banking Facilities. HSBC may renegotiate any of
the interest margins, fees and the applicable period of base rate in the event
of any change occurring in any applicable law or regulation or in PRC's
financial markets or the need to comply with any requirement of any
regulatory/governmental authority. The Banking Facilities are secured by a
guarantee of $2.75 million from Ever-Glory International Group, Inc., and a
personal guarantee of up to $2.75 million from our Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Edward Yihua Kang. To date nothing has been
drawn down on this line of credit.
On July
3, 2009, Ever-Glory Apparel, entered into a one-year revolving line of credit
agreement (“Revolving Line of Credit Agreement”) with Bank of Nanjing Co.
Ltd., a PRC Bank, which allows the Company to borrow up to
approximately $5.9 million (RMB 40 million ) during the
period from June 1, 2009 to June 1, 2010. Borrower is required to apply
for each loan when it needs to draw from this revolving line of
credit. The Revolving Line of Credit is guaranteed by Jiangsu
Ever-Glory, and Goldenway pursuant to certain guaranty agreements. We did
not pay any fee to Jiangsu Ever-Glory International Group Corporation or
Goldenway for such security. In the third quarter of 2009 the company borrowed
$2.2 million and repaid $2.2 million under this agreement.
Long-term
Loan
As of
September 30, 2009, the long-term loan to Blue Power was $2,247,879. Interest
accrued
on the loan to Blue power totaled $29,265 and $87,794 for the three and nine
months
ended September 30,2009.

Capital
Commitments
We have a
continuing program for the purpose of improving our manufacturing facilities and
extending our LA GO GO stores. We anticipate that cash flows from operations and
borrowings from banks will be used to pay for these capital
commitments.
Uses
of Liquidity
Our cash
requirements through the end of 2009 will be primarily to fund daily operations
and the growth of our business.
Sources
of Liquidity
Our
primary sources of liquidity for our short-term cash needs are expected to be
from cash flows generated from operations, cash and cash equivalents currently
on hand. We believe that we will be able to borrow additional funds if
necessary.
We
believe our cash flows from operations together with our cash and cash
equivalents currently on hand will be sufficient to meet our needs for working
capital, capital expenditure and other commitments through the end of 2009. No
assurance can be made that additional financing will be available to us if
required, and adequate funds may not be available on terms acceptable to us. If
funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we will develop or enhance
our products or services and expand our business through our own cash flows from
operations.
As of
September 30, 2009, we had access to a $7.3 million line of credit from a bank
located in Nanjing China. Of this line of credit, $2.2 million was unused and is
currently available. This credit facility include the standard covenants as
contemplated in agreement of such nature.
Foreign
Currency Translation Risk
Our
operations are, for the most part, located in the PRC, which may give rise to
significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of
volatility of foreign exchange rates between the United States dollar and the
Chinese RMB. Most of our sales are in dollars. During 2003 and 2004 the exchange
rate of RMB to the dollar remained constant at 8.26 RMB to the dollar. On July
21, 2005, the Chinese government adjusted the exchange rate from 8.26 to 8.09
RMB to the dollar. From that time, the RMB continued to appreciate against the
U.S. dollar. As of September 30, 2009, the market foreign exchange rate had
increased to 6.82 RMB to one U.S. dollar. We are continuously negotiating price
adjustments with most of our customers based on the daily market foreign
exchange rates, which we believe will reduce our exposure to exchange rate
fluctuations in the future, and will pass some of the increased cost to our
customers.
In
addition, the financial statements of Goldenway, New-Tailun, Catch-Luck,
Ever-Glory Apparel and LA GO GO (whose functional currency is the RMB) are
translated into US dollars using the closing rate method. The balance sheet
items are translated into US dollars using the exchange rates at the respective
balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at
historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while
income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the
period. All exchange differences are recorded within equity. The foreign
currency translation (loss) gain for the three months ended September 30, 2009
and 2008 was $46,364 and $107,468, respectively. The foreign currency
translation (loss) gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008 was ($36,947) and $1,818,706, respectively.
35
OFF-BALANCE
SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources that are material to our
investors.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We do not
use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and have no
foreign exchange contracts. Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash
equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term
obligations. We consider investments in highly-liquid instruments purchased with
a remaining maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash
equivalents.
Interest
Rates. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily to our short-term investments and short-term obligations; thus,
fluctuations in interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair
value of these securities. On September 30, 2009, we had approximately
$3,532,391 in cash and cash equivalents. A hypothetical 5% increase or decrease
in either short term or long term interest rates would not have any material
impact on our earnings or loss, or the fair market value or cash flows of these
instruments.
Foreign
Exchange Rates. We pay our suppliers and employees in Chinese RMB, however, we
sell to customers in the U.S., Japan and Europe and we generate sales in
U.S. Dollars, Euros and British Pounds. Accordingly, our business has
substantial exposure to changes in exchange rates between and among the Chinese
RMB, the U.S. Dollar,the Euro and the British Pound. In the last decade, the RMB
has been pegged at 8.2765 RMB to one U.S. Dollar. On July 21, 2005 it was
revalued to 8.11 per U.S. Dollar. Following the removal of the peg to the U.S.
Dollar and pressure from the United States, the People’s Bank of China also
announced that the RMB would be pegged to a basket of foreign currencies, rather
than being strictly tied to the U.S. Dollar, and would be allowed to float trade
within a narrow 0.3% daily band against this basket of currencies. The PRC
government has stated that the basket is dominated by the U.S. Dollar, Euro,
Japanese Yen and South Korean Won, with a smaller proportion made up of the
British Pound, Thai Baht, Russian Ruble, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar and
Singapore Dollar. There can be no assurance that the relationship between the
RMB and these currencies will remain stable over time, especially in light of
the significant political pressure on the Chinese government to permit the free
flotation of the RMB, which could result in greater and more frequent
fluctuations in the exchange rate between the RMB, the U.S. Dollar and the Euro.
On September 30, 2009, the exchange rate between the RMB and U.S. Dollar was
6.82RMB to one U.S. Dollar. For additional discussion regarding our foreign
currency risk, see the section titled Risk Factors in the Annual Report on Form
10-K for fiscal year ended on December 31, 2008.Fluctuation in the value of
Chinese RMB relative to other currencies may have a material adverse effect on
our business and/or an investment in our shares.
ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ( the “Exchange Act”) is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated
to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures,
management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the
desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its
judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and
procedures.

As of
September 30, 2009, the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report, we
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial
officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and
chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were
effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required
to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.

Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended
