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

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 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
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.

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.
The
Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate fair value of its
warrant liabilities. Key assumptions used to apply these models are as

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 (expense)/income for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was ($14,071),

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

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 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.
20
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

The
following table summarizes our results of operations for the three months ended

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

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

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.

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.
Net
Income
Net
income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $800,773, a decrease of
51.6% compared to the same period in 2009. Our diluted earnings per share were

Selling
expenses were $3.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of
107.6% or $1.9 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. The
increase was attributable to an increase in salaries and the number of retail
staff, as well as increased decoration and marketing expenses associated with
the promotion of LA GO GO.
General and administrative expenses were $3.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of 11.7% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of total
sales, general and administrative expenses decreased
to 7.4% of total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 10.0%
of total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease was due to better control over
these expenses.
Income
from Operations
Income
from operations decreased 22.7% to $2.5 million for the six months ended June
30, 2010 from $3.3 million in six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease was
mainly due to the substantial increase of selling expenses in association with
the promotion of LA GO GO.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense was $232,820 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, a slight decrease
compared to the same period in 2009.
Change
in fair value of derivative liability
Change in
fair value of derivative liability was $71,202 and ($581,792) for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and was calculated based
on the Black-Scholes pricing model.

Income
Tax Expenses
Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $404,780, a decrease of 27.9% compared to the same period of
2009.
Net
Income
Net
income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $2,435,149, an increase of
10.8% compared to the same period in 2009. Our diluted earnings per share were
$0.16 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
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 from 2008, and the 40% interest held by La Chapelle is
classified as a noncontrolling interest. As of March 31, 2010, the
noncontrolling interest was $724,267. On April 23, 2010, Ever-Glory Apparel
acquired the noncontrolling interest in LA GO GO from La Chapelle for
approximately RMB6 million (US $0.9 million).
Summary
of Cash Flows
Net cash
provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was
$7,398,218 compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $2,983,193
during the six months ended June 30, 2009. This increase was mainly attributable
to decreased amounts due from Jiangsu Ever-Glory and increased accounts payable,
offset by increased accounts receivable as we allow longer collection periods
for our long-term customers with good payment track records.
Net cash
used in investing activities was $685,831 for the six months ended
June 30, 2010, compared with used in $116,069 during the six months ended
June 30, 2009. The increase was mainly due to increased equipment
purchases.
Net cash
used in financing activities was $5,523,688 for the six months ended June 30,
2010, compared with cash used in financing activities of $3,312,482 during the
six months ended June 30, 2009. During 2010 we repaid $11,999,242 of bank loans
and received bank loan proceeds of $7,125,584. During 2010 we also repaid
$650,030 of loans from a related party.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
June 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4,758,558, other current
assets of $40,151,062 and current liabilities of $24,309,056. We presently
finance our operations primarily from cash flows 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.
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.
29
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.
30
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

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

1,2010, we issued 27,565 shares of restricted common stock to Beijing Zhongheng
Yitai Investment Consulting Co. Ltd ("Zhongheng Yitai") as part of the
compensation to Zhongheng Yitai for their advisory services in relation to
the acquisition of Catch-Luck and New-Tailun.
