JUNE 30, 2010 (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Ever-Glory International Group, Inc. (the “Company”), together with its subsidiaries, is an apparel manufacturer, supplier and retailer in China, with a wholesale segment and a retail segment. The Company’s wholesale business consists of recognized brands for department and specialty stores located in Europe, Japan and the United States. The Company’s retail business consists of flagship stores and store-in-stores for the Company’s own-brand products. The Company’s wholesale operations are provided primarily through the Company’s wholly-owned PRC subsidiaries, Goldenway Nanjing Garments Co. Ltd. (“Goldenway”), Nanjing Catch-Luck Garments Co. Ltd. (“Catch-Luck”) and Nanjing New-Tailun Garments Co. Ltd (“New-Tailun”). The Company’s retail operations are provided through its wholly owned subsidiary, Shanghai LA GO GO Fashion Company Limited (“LA GO GO”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Ever-Glory International Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they have been condensed and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. 

In April, 2010, Goldenway sold its 10% equity interest in Shanghai La Chapelle Garment and Accessories Company Limited (“La Chapelle”) to two unrelated third parties for approximately RMB12 million (US$1.8 million) and recorded a gain on the sale of approximately RMB2 million(US$300,000).

Also in April , 2010, Ever-Glory Apparel Inc. acquired 100% of the noncontrolling interest in LA GO GO from La Chapelle for approximately RMB6 million ( US$900,000) which in accordance with ASC 810-10-45-23, was allocated to the reduction of the noncontrolling interest balance of approximately US$0.7 million and additional paid in capital of approximately US$0.2 million.

NOTE 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.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2010 (UNAUDITED)
 
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:

Level 1
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2
Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
 
Level 3
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 June 30, 2010, 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.
 
The Company also applies ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, previously SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesIncluding 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 June 30, 2010, 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 subsidiaries whose functional currency is the RMB, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; equity was translated at historical rates and items in the statement of income were translated at the average rate for the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. 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. Items in the cash flow statement are translated at the average exchange rate for the period.

Note 5 DERIVATIVE WARRANT LIABILITY
(Included in ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, previously SFAS 133)
 
The Company has outstanding certain warrants that, in accordance with accounting guidance effective January 1,2009, require liability classification because of certain provisions that may result in an adjustment to their exercise price. Accordingly, these warrants were retroactively reclassified as liabilities at January 1, 2009, resulting in a decrease in paid in capital of $976,000, an increase in retained earnings of $494,000, and the recognition of a liability of $482,000. The liability has been adjusted to fair value as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, resulting in a (decrease) increase in the liability of ($13,317), $71,202, $484,702 and ($581,792) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

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.

The accrued interest is included in the carrying amount of the loan in the accompanying balance sheets. During 2010, the Company repaid $650,030 to Blue Power Holdings Limited.

NOTE10 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 June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 . 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 collectability of accounts receivable were incorrect, adjustments to the allowance may be required, which would reduce profitability.
 
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, the Company had two wholesale customers that represented approximately 30% and 10% of the Company’s revenues. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, the Company had two wholesale customers that represented approximately 30% and 14% of the Company’s revenues. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, the Company had one wholesale customer that represented approximately 34% of the Company’s revenues. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, the Company had one wholesale customer that represented approximately 31% of the Company’s revenues.
 
For the Company’s wholesale business during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, no supplier represented more than 10% of the total raw materials purchased.
 
For the Company’s retail business, no one supplier supplied more than 10% of raw materials during the six months ended June 30, 2010. The Company purchased 10% of its raw materials from one supplier during the three months ended June 30, 2010, and 11% of its raw materials from one supplier during the six months ended June 30, 2009. No one supplier supplied more than 10% of raw materials during the three months ended June 30, 2009.
 
For the wholesale business, during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company relied on one manufacturer for 15% and 20% of purchased finished goods, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company relied on one manufacturer for 11% and 18% of purchased finished goods.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENTS 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 months and six months ended June 30, 2010 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,” “target”, “forecast” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.
  
Overview
 
Our Business
 
We are a leading apparel supply-chain manager and retailer in China. We are listed on the NYSE Amex under the symbol of “EVK”.
 
We classify our businesses into two segments: Wholesale and Retail. Our wholesale business consists of wholesale-channel sales made principally to owners of famous 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. We oversee our long-term contractors with our advanced management solutions and inspect products manufactured by them to ensure that they meet our high quality control standards and timely delivery. 
 
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-Tailun Garments Company Limited (“New Tailun”), and Nanjing Catch-Luck Garments Co., Ltd. (“Catch-Luck”).

Retail Business
 
We conduct our retail operations through Shanghai LA GO GO Fashion Company Limited (“LA GO GO”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ever-Glory Apparel.
 
Business Objectives

Wholesale Business

We believe the enduring strength of our wholesale business is mainly due to our consistent emphasis on innovative and distinctive product designs that stand for exceptional styling and quality. We maintain long-term, satisfactory relationships with a portfolio of well-known, mid-class global brands.
 
The primary business objective for our wholesale segment is to expand our portfolio into higher-class brands, expand our customer base and improve our profit. We believe that our growth opportunities and continued investment initiatives include:

 
19

 
 
 
··
to expand our global sourcing network;
 
·
to invest in our overseas low-cost manufacturing base (outside of mainland China);
 
·
to focus on high value added products and continue our strategy to produce mid to high end garment;
 
·
to emphasize product design and new technology utilization; and
 
·
to seek strategic acquisitions of international distributors that could enhance global sales and our distribution network
 
Retail Business
 
The business objective for our retail segment is to establish a leading brand of women’s apparel and to build a nationwide retail network in China. As of June 30, 2010, we have 210 stores which include 40 stores that were opened in the first half of 2010. We expect to open additional 50-70 stores in the second half of 2010. We believe that our growth opportunities and continued investment initiatives include:

 
·
to build the LA GO GO brand to be recognized as a major player in the mid-end women's apparel market in China;
 
·
to expand the LA GO GO retail network;
 
·
to improve the LA GO GO retail stores efficiency and increase same-store sales
 
·
to launch LA GO GO flagship stores in Tier-1 Cities and increase penetration and coverage in Tier-2 and Tier-3 Cities
·      to become a multi-brand operator by seeking opportunities for long-term cooperation with reputable international brands and by facilitating international brands entry into the Chinese market;
 
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 primarily result 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 and 90 days following the date of the register receipt. For our own flagship stores, we receive payments on the same date as the register receipt.
 
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 EU economies have increased our clients’ sensitivity to the cost of our products. 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 our sales growth and operating margins in our wholesale segment in 2010.
 
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. We cannot predict at this time how this situation will develop and whether accounts receivable may need to be allowed for or written off in the coming quarters.

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.

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 wholesale revenue from product sales, net of value-added taxes, upon delivery for local sales and upon shipment of the products for export sales, at such time title passes to the customer provided however that (i) there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance (ii) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (iii) the sales price is fixed and determinable, and (iv) collectability is deemed probable. We recognize wholesale revenue from manufacturing fees charged to buyers for the assembly of garments from materials provided by the buyers upon completion of the manufacturing process and upon delivery to the buyer for local sales and upon shipment of the products for export sales, provided that (i)there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance (ii) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (iii) the sales price is fixed and determinable, and (iv)  collectability is deemed probable. Retail sales are recorded at the time of register receipt.
 
Estimates and Assumptions
 
In preparing our 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 2010 and 2009 include the assumptions used to value warrants and the estimates of the allowance for deferred tax assets.

Results of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

The following table summarizes our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The table and the discussion below should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Revenues from our wholesale business mainly come from international markets. We also generate revenues from our retail business from Chinese domestic markets focusing on our own brand, LA GO GO.

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $23,102,498, an increase of 9.4% from the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in our sales was primarily attributable to the increased sales in our retail business.

Sales generated from our wholesale business contributed 79.1% or $18.3 million of our total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of 4.3% compared to $19.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to our discontinuing some of our lower margin orders in the fourth quarter of 2009. The majority of our sales in the second quarter of 2010 resulted from orders taken in the fourth quarter of 2009, at which time some of our customers sought significant discounts due to the economic slowdown. In view of the discounts being sought we voluntarily discontinued some lower margin orders.

Sales generated from our retail business contributed 20.9% or $4.8 million of our total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $2.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009. In the second quarter of 2010 we opened 26 new LA GO GO stores. As of June 30, 2010, we had 210 LA GO GO retail stores.

Costs and Expenses
 
 Cost of Sales and Gross Margin

Gross Profit
  $ 4,507,983       19.5 %   $ 4,507,561       21.3 %     0.0 %

Raw material costs for our wholesale business were 47.0% of our total sales in the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 46.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was mainly due to increased raw materials prices.
 
Labor costs for our wholesale business were 4.7% of our total sales in the three months ended June 30, 2010, representing a  0.4% increase from the 4.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was mainly due to increased salaries for our workers.
 
Outsourced manufacturing costs for our wholesale business were 33.5% of our total sales in the three months ended June 30, 2010, and increased by 10.4% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was mainly due to increased salaries for employees of the manufacturers.
 
Overhead and other expenses for our wholesale business accounted for 0.8% of our total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 1.2% of total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease was due to improved control over these expenses.
 
Gross profit in our wholesale business for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $2.5 million, a decrease of 29.2% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. Gross margin was 13.9% for our wholesale business for the three months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of 4.9% compared to 18.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in labor and raw material prices. When customers placed orders with us in the fourth quarter of 2009, the negotiated sales prices were based on the labor costs and raw materials costs at that time. In the second quarter of 2010, when we fulfilled the orders placed in the fourth quarter of 2009, the average labor and raw material costs increased significantly. Therefore, the margin on these orders decreased.
 
Production costs for our retail business were $1.7 million or 35.5% of our total retail sales during the three months ended June 30, 2010 versus $0.5 million or 23.3% during the three months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of total retail sales the increase in the production costs was due to reduced sales prices for increased sales volume. Rent costs for our retail business were $1.2 million or 23.8% of our total retail sales during the three months ended June 30, 2010 versus $0.6million or 31.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2009.The increase in rent costs resulted from an increase in the number of our stores.
 
Gross profit in our retail business for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $2.0 million and gross margin was 40.6%. Gross profit in our retail business for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $0.9 million and gross margin was 44.9%. The decrease was primarily due to the fact that we reduced our sales prices in order to increase our sales volume.
 
Total cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $18.6 million, an increase of 11.9% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of total sales, our cost of sales increased to 80.5% of total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 78.7% of total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Consequently, gross margins decreased to 19.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from 21.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Perfect Dream Limited was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on July 1, 2004, and has no income tax.

Ever-Glory International Group Inc. was incorporated in the United States and has incurred net operating losses for income tax purposes through June 30, 2010. 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 2030. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses is 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.

Revenues from our wholesale business are mainly from international markets. We also generate revenues from our retail business from Chinese domestic markets focusing on our own brand, LA GO GO.

Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $49,242,044, an increase of 18.3% from the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in our sales was primarily attributable to the increased sales in our retail business.
 
Sales generated from our wholesale business contributed 76.5% or $37.7 million of our total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010, a slight increase compared to the same period of 2009. Although sales orders from our customers in China, France and Europe-other increased during 2010, sales orders in other areas decreased due to increased raw material and labor costs which resulted in some lower margin orders which we discontinued.

Sales generated from our retail business contributed 23.5% or $11.6 million of our total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $4.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009.

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.

On July 31, 2008, Goldenway entered into credit agreements with Nanjing Bank which allow the Company to borrow up to $7.3 million (RMB50million) for a 24 month period. As of June 30, 2010, we repaid all bank loans under this agreement. On July 6, 2010, Goldenway entered into a new two-year line of credit agreement for approximately $7.3 million (RMB50 million) with Nanjing Bank. On July 29,2010 we loaned $1.5 million (RMB10 million) under this new agreement. Bank loans are guaranteed by Jiangsu Ever-Glory and secured by our facilities. 

On July 3, 2009, Ever-Glory Apparel entered into a one-year line of credit agreement for approximately $5.9 million (RMB40 million) with Bank of Nanjing Co. Ltd. On March 11, 2010, Ever-Glory Apparel entered into a new one-year line of credit agreement for approximately $7.3 million (RMB50 million) with Bank of Nanjing Co. Ltd. The loan is guaranteed by Jiangsu Ever-Glory and Goldenway. As of June 30, 2010, $1.2 million of bank loans were outstanding under this agreement and approximately $6.1 million was unused and available.

On June 29, 2010, Ever-Glory Apparel borrowed $260,000 from Bank of Communications which was guaranteed by Jiangsu Ever-Glory, Mr Kang and the approximately $330,000 accounts receivable from wholesale customers. The maturity date for this loan is September 27, 2010. If we receive a certain payment from customers before September 27,2010 we must repay this loan at the same time the payment is received.

On December 7, 2009, Ever-Glory Apparel borrowed approximately $0.7 million (RMB5 million) from Bank of Jiangsu. The loan is due in December 2010, bears interest at 5.31% and is guaranteed by Jiangsu Ever-Glory.

All bank loans are used to fund our daily operations.

Loans from related party
 
As of June 30, 2010, the amount owing to Blue Power Holding Ltd, an entity controlled by Mr. Edward Yihua Kang, was $1,970,575. Interest accrued on the loan to Blue power totaled $18,583 and $44,848 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.
 
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 2010 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, 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 2010. 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 June 30, 2010, we had access to $14.6 million in lines of credit, of which $13.4 million was unused and is currently available. These credit facilities do not include any covenants.
 
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 June 30, 2010, the market foreign exchange rate had increased to 6.79 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 expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. All exchange differences are recorded within equity. The foreign currency translation  gain (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $138,315, $172,448, ($39,103) and ($83,311), respectively.

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, bank loans 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 June 30, 2010, we had $4,758,558 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 June 30, 2010, the exchange rate between the RMB and U.S. Dollar was 6.79RMB 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, 2009. 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 June 30, 2010, 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 as a result of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting discussed in item 9A(T) of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (“2009 Form 10-K”), our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not 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.

Remediation Measures for Material Weaknesses

As stated in our 2009 Form 10-K, our management concluded that, based on the assessment of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2009.
    
 
31

 
  
We are in the process of taking remedial measures to address the material weaknesses identified in our 2009 Form 10-K.  In April 2010 we appointed a new independent director who serves as the Audit Committee Chairman, and who together with the other members of the Audit Committee, oversees the preparation of the financial statements included in Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. During the first quarter of 2010, we also reorganized our accounting department and we now have a dedicated internal control department headed by a full-time internal control manager. Management believes the measures described above improved our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) with respect to the preparation of the financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. We will continue to develop and implement our remediation plan to address the material weaknesses identified in the 2009 Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
We know of no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party which are material or potentially material, either individually or in the aggregate. We are from time to time, during the normal course of our business operations, subject to various litigation claims and legal disputes. We do not believe that the ultimate disposition of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
There has been no material change in the information provided in Item 1A of Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2010.
 
ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 On January 5, 2010, we issued 6,634 shares of common stock to our three independent directors as compensation for their services in the third and fourth quarters of 2009. The shares were valued at $2.84 per share, which was the average market price of the common stock for the five days before the grant date.

On May 3, 2010, we issued 1,153,846 shares of restricted common stock to Ever-Glory Enterprises (HK) Ltd,( “Ever-Glory Hong Kong”) which owns more than 10% of our shares of common stock, as part of the consideration for the acquisition of Catch-Luck. Pursuant to the Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Stock dated June 26, 2006, as amended on August 31, 2006 by and between us, Perfect Dream Ltd., Ever-Glory Hong Kong and Catch-Luck, we agreed to issue 1,153,846 shares of restricted common stock to Ever Glory Hong Kong if Catch-Luck achieves certain 2009 financial targets.  As a result of Catch-Luck’s achievement of the 2009 financial targets, we issued the above-mentioned shares to Ever Glory Hong Kong.
