PART I

Item 1.  Business.

Company Overview

We are a company in the business of developing and distributing medical devices. We have been focusing on developing respiratory and oxygen homecare products in particular since 2006.

We distribute products designed and manufactured by other companies. We broaden our product portfolio through distribution agreements with international manufacturers, and most of the products we distribute are imported. Our distribution offerings are mostly equipment used in the operating room, the intensive care unit (“ICU”) and the emergency room.

Besides distributing medical devices, we also design, develop and market our own proprietary products and medical components. Because we do not run any manufacturing facilities, we contract some of the medical components to outside manufacturers in China. Most of our proprietary products require light assembly by us before distribution.

We sell our products primarily through distributors, but we also make direct sales to hospitals, clinics, government health bureaus, government organizations and individuals. We continue to further our market reach by introducing newer and more advanced product lines that address different end-user needs.

Recent Developments

Our Products

Our proprietary and distributed products include two major categories: (i) medical devices (including supporting products) and (ii) sleep respiratory and oxygen therapy products (previously defined as respiratory and oxygen homecare products). Our medical devices proprietary and distributed products are mainly used in hospitals and clinics, while the sleep respiratory and oxygen therapy products are mainly for hospitals, sleep centers, at-home use by individual, emergency center, national defense and national disaster relief circumstances.

Our Proprietary Products

Our management believes that our proprietary products, which are generally less expensive than products from foreign companies, tend to be more attractive to smaller city and rural hospitals and healthcare facilities and other end-users for whom price is a significant factor in deciding whether to purchase our products. Our proprietary products include medical devices and related supporting/technical service products, and sleep respiratory and oxygen therapy products.

Sleep Respiratory and Oxygen Therapy Products

Research and Development of Our Proprietary Products

Our success to date has in part resulted from our strong research and development capabilities, which allow us to regularly introduce new and more advanced products at competitive prices. We increased our annual investment in research and development activities as a percentage of net revenues every year since 2003. Research and development costs were $230,854 and $268,038 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our research and development team consists of 27 engineers, representing more than one-tenth of our employees.

Our project selection goals focus on projects that we believe are commercially feasible, can generate significant revenue and can be introduced into the market in the near-term. While our research and development department may conduct research into areas that are likely to lead to short-, medium- and long-range business opportunities for our company, we focus our development of products on those solutions we believe are most likely to generate significant near-term revenues. Thus, we would generally devote more resources to a solution expected to have an immediate financial return (for example, a ventilator) than to a project with a potentially greater overall payoff that is more distant and tenuous (for example, an artificial lung).

Our management seeks feedback from our distribution network to learn about needs for future products and improvements to existing products that our research and development department can seek to address. Once we identify a product opportunity, our sales and service, research and development, and assembly teams work closely together to determine potential market demand for a product and how it fits with our current design and assembly capabilities. We organize regular meetings in which our sales and service, research and development and assembly teams review progress and, if necessary, adjust the emphasis of our research and development projects.

If we deem a new product to be commercially feasible, our research and development team will work closely with our assembly team to move assembly forward. This integrated approach allows us to identify potential difficulties in commercializing our proprietary product or product improvement. Furthermore, it enables us to make adjustments as necessary and develop cost-efficient assembly processes prior to distribution. We believe these abilities can significantly shorten the time it takes to launch a commercialized product. In the last three years, we have developed and brought to market 7 new products, which appeal to a wide range of end-users.

We maintain a 5,400 square foot research and development center in our facility in Beijing, which allows us to compete for skilled research and development technicians and managers. In addition, we are enhancing our research and development ability by cooperating with the research institutes of two top ranking Universities in China: Beijing University of Aeronautics & Astronautics and Beijing University of Technology and Science.

Principal Suppliers – Our Proprietary Products

We us the following principal suppliers to manufacture the components in the products we develop and assemble:

We believe the components provided by our suppliers are widely available and do not anticipate that we will be unable to obtain these components from other suppliers in the event our principal suppliers are unable or unwilling to supply us. We provide the technical specifications and files needed for our suppliers to manufacture components. We purchase the same components from a wide variety of suppliers.

We outsource the production of some of our oxygen concentrators and air compressors to Friend of Health under production agreements. We provide the technical specifications and files needed for Friend of Health to manufacture these proprietary products. We provide separately outsourced core parts to Friend of Health to incorporate into the components they assemble and distribute for us. We test and approve each part produced by Friend of Health before they begin mass production. We require Friend of Health to maintain minimum supplies of our proprietary products and components for use in our proprietary products, and we permit them to sell our proprietary products only in Chuzhou. Friend of Health delivers products to us on credit, and we are required to make payment within 45 days after the date of delivery. Friend of Health is the only supplier that also assembles and distributes finished proprietary products for us.

Assembly of Our Proprietary Products

After our research and development team designs the technical specifications and computer models for our proprietary products, we typically work with an independent contractor to fabricate working prototypes before we commence with the production run of a product. We test prototypes to confirm that they operate as expected and with the quality we require. During the prototyping process, we apply for SFDA approval as necessary. Once both of these processes are completed, we commission a production run of components for assembly into our proprietary products.

We depend on component and product manufacturing and logistical services provided by third parties. All of our proprietary products are manufactured in whole or in part by a variety of third-party manufacturers. While these arrangements may lower operating costs, they also reduce our direct control over production. It is uncertain what effect such diminished control will have on the quality or quantity of products or services, or on our flexibility to respond to changing conditions.

We maintain a 32,000 square foot product center in Changping Science Park in Beijing. This product center contains our research and development area and our assembly facilities. Final assembly of our products is currently performed in this facility by our 37 employees in assembly and by some of our external vendors, such as Friend of Health. Currently, the supply and manufacture of many critical components is performed by sole-sourced third-party vendors in China.

Proprietary Rights for Our Proprietary Products

We are developing a portfolio of intellectual property rights in China to protect the technologies, inventions and improvements that we believe are significant to our business in China. We have two practical patents issued in China for oxygen concentrators. We have five design patents related to our CPAP devices (2), portable sleep screening (2) and diagnostic services (1). In addition, we obtained 9 software copyrights to our C-arm X-Ray machine (1), CPAP machine (5), air compressor (1) and air concentrator (2). Moreover, we possess proprietary technology and know-how in assembly processes, design and engineering. We have not filed for any patent protection outside of China. To protect our brand name recognition, we have registered the brand name “Dehaier” for trademark protection in China.

Our success in the medical equipment industry depends in substantial part on effective management of both intellectual property assets and infringement risks. In particular, we must be able to protect our own intellectual property as well as minimize the risk that any of our proprietary products may infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others.

We enter into agreements with all our employees involved in research and development, under which all intellectual property generated during their employment belongs to us, and they waive all relevant rights or claims to such intellectual property. All our employees involved in research and development are also bound by a confidentiality obligation and have agreed to disclose and assign to us all inventions conceived by them during their term of employment.

We believe that we have successfully established our brand in China. We have registered trademarks in China for the Dehaier name and logo used on our own-brand products. As part of our overall strategy to protect and enhance the value of our brand, we actively enforce our registered trademarks against any unauthorized use by a third party.

Our Distributed Products

Our management believes that our distributed products, which are generally more expensive than products from Chinese companies, tend to be more attractive to larger city hospitals and more affluent healthcare facilities and other end-users for whom perceived quality is a significant factor in deciding which products to purchase. While we believe that the quality of our proprietary products is also strong, we understand that some consumers in China associate more well-known international brands with higher quality than they associate with domestically produced brands.

We serve as a significant distributor in China for several foreign producers of medical devices and sleep respiratory and oxygen therapy products, including IMD, Timesco, HEYER, eVent and GCE. We believe this extensive platform allows us to be responsive to local market demand. We distribute medical devices and sleep respiratory and oxygen therapy products for these companies.

Our Relationships with Suppliers of Our Distributed Products

While we develop, assemble, market and sell our proprietary products, we also serve as the distributor for a number of international companies looking to sell their brands of products in China. We are a distribution agent for some or all products marketed in China by IMD (Italy), Timesco (UK), HEYER (Germany), eVent (USA) and GCE (Sweden). In this capacity, we are responsible for sales, marketing and after-sale services of these products.

We sign agency agreements with these international suppliers annually with the aim of settling marketing promotion modes, costs, product training and resolution of customer service issues. The agency agreements cover purchasing price, purchasing intervals, order quantity, transportation and type of payment, spare part supply and after-sale service terms. We negotiate renewal of these agency agreements as they expire to confirm ongoing distributor expectations.

We seek to enlarge the scope of products we are able to sell as agent for these companies and constantly try to identify competitive suppliers and products on the international market to assist them with marketing and selling their products in China.

Principal Suppliers – Our Distributed Products

In addition to the products we design, we distribute products designed and manufactured by the following companies:

The exact products from these suppliers are available only from such suppliers; however, we believe that we will be able to obtain similar products from other suppliers in the event our principal suppliers are unable or unwilling to supply us.

Our Service Centers

We maintain a 24-hour customer service center in Beijing for technical support and repair. We staff our customer service center with senior technical support engineers who provide preliminary support. Our engineers attempt to quickly diagnose and assist in repairing problems over the phone, or determine whether a service visit to the customer’s premises is necessary. In some instances, our engineers will provide on-site operating guidance and repair service. We periodically review customer calls to ensure that any issues raised by our customers are resolved to their satisfaction.

Customers

We have three categories of customers: (i) distributors, (ii) hospitals and government agencies and (iii) individual consumers to whom we sell directly. Our customer base is widely dispersed on both a geographic and revenues basis.

Our distributors. Sales to our distributors make up the substantial majority of our revenues as over 90% of our sales are to distributors. Based on the expected use of products sold to distributors, we estimate that they sell approximately 60% of our products to hospitals, 20% to clinics and 10% to individuals. As a result, we estimate that approximately 67% of our products (on a revenue basis, rather than unit basis) are sold to hospitals, approximately 21% to clinics and approximately 12% to individuals. We have contractual distribution relationships with over 2,000 independent distributors. We do not own, employ or control these independent distributors.

Hospital and governmental agency customers.  Our hospital and governmental agency customers primarily include hospitals as well as provincial level public health bureaus and population and family planning bureaus. We also refer to these customers as our “Key Accounts.” These customers typically place large volume orders that are awarded based on bids submitted by competing medical equipment companies through a state-owned bidding agent.

Individual consumers. We sell our home respiratory therapy products directly to consumers through our customer experience centers, or “CECs”, and plan to sell through third-party E-commerce platforms.

Dependence on Major Customers. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately 13% of the Company’s revenues were received from each of two customers.

Concentration of Receivables. At December 31, 2011, receivables from two customers were approximately 12% and 10%, respectively. No customer represented more than 10% of amounts receivable at December 31, 2012.

Dependence on Major Suppliers. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, payables due to three suppliers were approximately 34%, 33%, 19% and 50%, 8%, 6%, respectively.

Competition

The medical device industry is characterized by rapid product development, technological advances, intense competition and a strong emphasis on proprietary information. Across all product lines and product tiers, we face direct competition from both domestic and international competitors. We compete based on factors such as price, value, customer support, brand recognition, reputation, and product functionality, reliability and compatibility. Each of our proprietary products competes against functionally similar products from domestic and international companies.

Our competitors include publicly traded and privately held multinational companies, such as Respironics, Inc., ResMed Inc., and Covidien, as well as domestic Chinese companies such as Beijing Aoji, Beijing Ya’ao, Jiangsu Yuyue and Zhejiang Longfei. We believe that we can continue to compete successfully in China because our established domestic distribution network and customer support and service network allows us significantly better access to China’s small and medium-sized hospitals. In addition, our strong investment in research and development, coupled with our low-cost operating model, allows us to compete effectively for sales to large hospitals.

We believe our competitive position in China varies depending on the product in question. While we are a much smaller company overall than, for example, General Electric, Siemens or Philips and are unable to offer the range or depth of products each of those companies offers, we believe our market position is favorable in several segments. The following charts provide our marketing department’s estimations of our primary competitors by product, both as to our proprietary products and as to our distributed products:

*A “greater than average” position indicates Dehaier estimates its competitive position in the top third of all competitors. “Average” indicates Dehaier estimates its competitive position in the middle third of all competitors. “Smaller than average” indicates Dehaier estimates its competitive position in the bottom third of all competitors.

As we expand into international markets, our competitors will include publicly traded and privately held multinational companies such as Respironics and Covidien. These companies typically focus on the premium segments of the market. We believe we can successfully penetrate certain international markets by offering products of comparable quality at lower prices. We will also face competition in international sales from companies that have local operations in the markets in which we sell our proprietary products. We believe that we can compete successfully with these companies by offering high quality proprietary products at comparable prices.

Methods of Competition

China’s medical device market currently features a significant number of small distributors. We seek to distinguish our company from our competitors by being able to offer proprietary and distributed products that address the device needs of customers that may have very different needs.

For example, China is currently investing heavily in health care nationwide; however, money for healthcare is currently unevenly distributed. There are a number of large hospitals that have significant resources and a number of rural clinics that have extremely limited budgets. We are able to provide distributed products that reach the more affluent customers, as these customers frequently tend to ascribe more perceived value to products made by well-known foreign companies, such as Timesco and HEYER. We are also able to supply our proprietary products to customers who tend to care less about perceived value and more about functionality. One of our strategies in competing in this market is to make our products as mobile as possible. For this reason, our air compressors, mobile X-ray devices, trolleys and the like are all portable. This portability addresses the budgetary limitations of, for instance, a rural clinic that can only afford to purchase a single air compressor.

We currently compete on three levels. First, we have well-established distribution channels and close relations with more than 2,000 dealers and distributors, reaching an estimated 3,000 hospitals. We maintain relationships with healthcare bureaus as well as other key accounts to actively participate in state-level contracted procurement projects. Second, our proprietary homecare medical products are designed to provide an all-in-one solution for end users. Together with our new home oxygen therapy service, we provide homecare medical solutions that combine products and services. Third, we have emphasized international growth, including seeking approval to sell our products in Europe and other countries and establishing a U.S. subsidiary to enable us to compete in North America. We focus on maintaining a high quality to price ratio in our proprietary products. In addition, being a NASDAQ-listed company has helped to build our brand image and reputation with potential customers and business partners.

Employees

As of March 18, 2013, we have 165 full-time employees, of which, 37 are employed in assembly; 27 are in research and development; 15 are in general administration; 78 are in marketing, sales, and customer support and service; and 8 are in procurement and supply management. As required by PRC regulations, we participate in various employee benefit plans that are organized by municipal and provincial governments, including pension, work-related injury benefits, maternity insurance, and medical and unemployment benefit plans. We are required under PRC law to make contributions to the employee benefit plans at specified percentages of the salaries, bonuses, housing funds and certain allowances of our employees, up to a maximum amount specified by the local government from time to time. We make contributions to employee benefits equal to 10% of employee salaries.

Generally, we enter into a three-year standard employment contract with all of our officers, managers and other key employees and a one-year standard employment contract with all other employees. According to these employment contracts, all of our employees are prohibited from engaging in any activities that compete with our business during the period of their employment with us.

Under Chinese law, we may only terminate employment agreements without cause and without penalty by providing notice of non-renewal one month prior to the date on which the employment agreement is scheduled to expire. If we fail to provide this notice or if we wish to terminate an employment agreement in the absence of cause, then we are obligated to pay the employee one month’s salary for each year we have employed the employee. We are, however, permitted to terminate an employee for cause without penalty to our company, where the employee has committed a crime or the employee’s actions or inactions have resulted in a material adverse effect to us.

Regulations

Our products are medical devices and are subject to regulatory controls governing medical devices. As a distributor of medical equipment and supplies we are subject to regulation and oversight by different levels of the food and drug administration in China, in particular the SFDA. We are also subject to other PRC government laws and regulations. SFDA requirements include obtaining certifications, permits, compliance with clinical testing standards, assembly practices, quality standards, applicable industry standards and adverse event reporting, and advertising and packaging standards.

China’s Regulation of Medical Devices

Classification of Medical Devices

In China, medical devices are classified by the SFDA into three different categories, Class I, Class II and Class III, depending on the degree of risk associated with each medical device and the extent of control needed to ensure safety and effectiveness. Classification of a medical device is important because the class to which a medical device is assigned determines, among other things, whether a company needs to obtain a permit and the level of regulatory authority involved in obtaining such permit. Classification of a device also determines the types of registration required and the level of regulatory authority involved in effecting the product registration.

Class I devices require product certification and are those with low risk to the human body and are subject to “general controls.” Class I devices are regulated by the city level food and drug administration where the company is located. Class II devices are those with medium risk to the human body and are subject to “special controls.” Class II devices require product certification, usually through a quality system assessment, and are regulated by the provincial level food and drug administration where the company is located. Class III devices are those with high risk to the human body, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices. Class III devices also require product certification and are regulated by the SFDA under the strictest regulatory control.

The majority of our products are classified as Class II or Class III devices. Our anesthesia machines and ventilators are classified as Class III medical devices, while the remainder of our products are either classified as Class II or, in the case of our ventilator trolleys and sterilizers, not categorized devices.

Assembly Permit

A company must obtain a permit from the provincial level food and drug administration before commencing the assembly of Class II and Class III medical devices. No assembly permit is required for Class I devices, but the company must notify the provincial level food and drug administration where the company is located and file for record with it. An assembly permit, once obtained, is valid for five years and is renewable upon expiration.

We have a single assembly permit, which covers all products we assemble and is scheduled to expire on September 15, 2013. To renew an assembly permit, a company needs to submit to the provincial level food and drug administration an application to renew the permit, along with required information six months before the expiration date of the permit. If we are unable to renew the permit before it expires, we could lose our ability to assemble our medical devices until the situation is rectified. Although we have not yet renewed our permit, we anticipate filing our renewal application in the near future.

Distribution License

A manufacturer or distributor must obtain a distribution license in order to engage in sales and distribution of Class II and Class III medical devices in China. A distribution license is valid for five years and is renewable upon expiration. Our distribution license will expire on September 15, 2013. If we are unable to renew the permit before it expires, we could lose our ability to distribute medical devices until the situation is rectified. Although we have not yet renewed our permit, we anticipate filing our renewal application in the near future.

Registration Requirement

Before a medical device can be manufactured for commercial distribution, a company must affect medical device registration by proving the safety and effectiveness of the medical device to the satisfaction of respective levels of the food and drug administration. In order to conduct a clinical trial on a Class II or Class III medical device, the SFDA requires companies to apply for and obtain in advance a favorable inspection result for the device from an inspection center jointly recognized by the SFDA and the Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. The application to the inspection center must be supported by appropriate data, such as animal and laboratory testing results. If the inspection center approves the application for clinical trial, and the respective levels of the food and drug administration approve the institutions which will conduct the clinical trials, the company may begin the clinical trial. A registration application for a Class II or Class III device must provide required pre-clinical and clinical trial data and information about the device and its components regarding, among other things, device design, production and labeling. The provincial level food and drug administration, within 60 days of receiving an application for the registration of a Class II device, and the SFDA, within 90 days of receiving an application for the registration of a Class III device, will notify the applicant whether the application for registration is approved. If approved, a registration certificate will be issued within ten days of written approval. If the food and drug administration requires supplemental information, the approval process may take much longer. The registration is valid for four years.

The SFDA may change its policies, adopt additional regulations, revise existing regulations or tighten enforcement, each of which could block or delay the approval process for a medical device.

The following table discloses the current registration expiration dates for the products we sell. It is the obligation of that produces the product to seek registration and any renewals. We are responsible for registering our proprietary products but must rely on the suppliers of other products to seek registration for those products. We will either cease to sell such product or seek comparable products from other suppliers in the event the registration is not renewed on expiration.

Medical Devices (Including Related Supporting Products)

Respiratory and Oxygen Homecare Products

Continuing SFDA Regulation

We are subject to continuing regulation by the SFDA. In the event of significant modification to an approved medical device, its labeling or its assembly process, a new premarket approval or premarket approval supplement may be required. Our products are subject to, among others, the following regulations:

Class II and III devices may also be subject to special controls applicable to them, such as supply purchase information, performance standards, quality inspection procedures and product testing devices which may not be required for Class I devices. We believe we are in compliance with the applicable SFDA guidelines, but we could be required to change our compliance activities or be subject to other special controls if the SFDA changes or modifies its existing regulations or adopts new requirements.

We are also subject to inspection and market surveillance by the SFDA to determine compliance with regulatory requirements. If the SFDA decides to enforce its regulations and rules, the agency can institute a wide variety of enforcement actions such as:

China Compulsory Certification Requirements

China Compulsory Certification, or CCC, inclusive of a certificate and a mark, serves as evidence that the covered products can be imported, marketed or used in China. The CCC mark is administered by the China National Certification and Accreditation Administration, which designates the China Quality Certification Center to process CCC mark applications. Some medical devices are required to have a CCC mark. We have received a certificate and a mark for each of our proprietary products for which a CCC mark is required.

Other National and Provincial Level Laws and Regulations in China

Beyond those laws and regulations we consider material to our business, we are subject to evolving regulations under many other laws and regulations administered by governmental authorities at the national, provincial and city levels, some of which are, or may be, applicable to our business. Our hospital customers are also subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations that could affect the nature and scope of their relationships with us.

Laws regulating the conduct of business in our industry cover a broad array of subjects. We must comply with numerous additional state and local laws relating to matters such as safe working conditions, environmental protection and fire hazard control, which affect all companies doing business in China. We believe we are currently in compliance with these laws and regulations in all material respects. We may be required to incur significant costs to comply with these laws and regulations in the future. Unanticipated changes in existing regulatory requirements or adoption of new requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Restriction on Foreign Ownership

The principal regulation governing foreign ownership of medical device businesses in the PRC is the 2011 Foreign Investment Industrial Guidance Catalogue (the “Catalogue”). The Catalogue classifies the various industries into four categories: encouraged, permitted, restricted and prohibited. As confirmed by the government authorities, BDL is engaged in an encouraged industry. Such a designation offers businesses distinct advantages. For example, businesses engaged in encouraged industries:

The National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce periodically jointly revise the Foreign Investment Industrial Guidance Catalogue. As such, there is a possibility that our company’s business may fall outside the scope of the definition of an encouraged industry in the future. Should this occur, we would no longer benefit from such designation.

Regulation of Foreign Currency Exchange

The principal regulations governing foreign currency exchange in China are the Foreign Exchange Administration Regulations (1996), as amended, and the Administration Rules of the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange (1996). Under these regulations, Renminbi are freely convertible for current account items, including the distribution of dividends, interest payments, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not for most capital account items, such as direct investment, loan, repatriation of investment and investment in securities outside China, unless the prior approval of SAFE or its local counterparts is obtained. In addition, any loans to an operating subsidiary in China that is a foreign invested enterprise, cannot, in the aggregate, exceed the difference between its respective approved total investment amount and its respective approved registered capital amount. Furthermore, any foreign loan must be registered with SAFE or its local counterparts for the loan to be effective. Any increase in the amount of the total investment and registered capital must be approved by the PRC Ministry of Commerce or its local counterpart. We may not be able to obtain these government approvals or registrations on a timely basis, if at all, which could result in a delay in the process of making these loans.

The dividends paid by the subsidiary to its shareholder are deemed shareholder income and are taxable in China. Pursuant to the Administration Rules of the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange (1996), foreign-invested enterprises in China may purchase or remit foreign exchange, subject to a cap approved by SAFE, for settlement of current account transactions without the approval of SAFE. Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account are still subject to limitations and require approvals from, or registration with, SAFE and other relevant PRC governmental authorities.

Regulation of Dividend Distribution

The principal regulations governing the distribution of dividends by foreign holding companies include the Foreign Investment Enterprise Law (1986), as amended, and the Administrative Rules under the Foreign Investment Enterprise Law (2001).

Under these regulations, foreign investment enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their retained profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, foreign investment enterprises in China are required to allocate at least 10% of their respective retained profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds unless these reserves have reached 50% of the registered capital of the enterprises. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends.

Notice 75

On October 21, 2005, SAFE issued Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005. According to Notice 75, prior registration with the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents to establish or to control an offshore company for the purposes of financing that offshore company with assets or equity interests in an onshore enterprise located in the PRC. An amendment to registration or filing with the local SAFE branch by such PRC resident is also required for the injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise in the offshore company or overseas funds raised by such offshore company, or any other material change involving a change in the capital of the offshore company.

Moreover, Notice 75 applies retroactively. As a result, PRC residents who have established or acquired control of offshore companies that have made onshore investments in the PRC in the past are required to complete the relevant registration procedures with the local SAFE branch. Under the relevant rules, failure to comply with the registration procedures set forth in Notice 75 may result in restrictions being imposed on the foreign exchange activities of the relevant onshore company, including the increase of its registered capital, the payment of dividends and other distributions to its offshore parent or affiliate and capital inflow from the offshore entity, and may also subject relevant PRC residents to penalties under PRC foreign exchange administration regulations.

PRC residents who control our company are required to register with SAFE in connection with their investments in us. Such individuals completed this registration in 2007, and 2008, as amended. If we use our equity interest to purchase the assets or equity interest of a PRC company owned by PRC residents in the future, such PRC residents will be subject to the registration procedures described in Notice 75.

Trademark Rights

The PRC Trademark Law, adopted in 1982 and revised in 2001, with its implementation rules adopted in 2002, protects registered trademarks. The Trademark Office of the State Administration of Industry and Commerce (“SAIC”), handles trademark registrations and grants trademark registrations for a term of ten years.

Regulations on Offshore Parent Holding Companies’ Direct Investment in and Loans to Their PRC Subsidiaries

An offshore company may invest equity in a PRC company, which will become the PRC subsidiary of the offshore holding company after investment. Such equity investment is subject to a series of laws and regulations generally applicable to any foreign-invested enterprise in China, which include the Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise Law, the Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Enterprise Law, the Sino-foreign Contractual Joint Venture Enterprise Law, all as amended from time to time, and their respective implementing rules; the Tentative Provisions on the Foreign Exchange Registration Administration of Foreign-Invested Enterprise; and the Notice on Certain Matters Relating to the Change of Registered Capital of Foreign-Invested Enterprises.

Under the aforesaid laws and regulations, the increase of the registered capital of a foreign-invested enterprise is subject to the prior approval by the original approval authority of its establishment. In addition, the increase of registered capital and total investment amount shall both be registered with SAIC and SAFE.

Shareholder loans made by offshore parent holding companies to their PRC subsidiaries are regarded as foreign debts in China for regulatory purpose, which is subject to a number of PRC laws and regulations, including the PRC Foreign Exchange Administration Regulations, the Interim Measures on Administration on Foreign Debts, the Tentative Provisions on the Statistics Monitoring of Foreign Debts and its implementation rules, and the Administration Rules on the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange.

Under these regulations, the shareholder loans made by offshore parent holding companies to their PRC subsidiaries shall be registered with SAFE. Furthermore, the total amount of foreign debts that can be borrowed by such PRC subsidiaries, including any shareholder loans, shall not exceed the difference between the total investment amount and the registered capital amount of the PRC subsidiaries, both of which are subject to the governmental approval.

The following discussion contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those described herein.

Company Overview

We are a company in the business of developing and distributing medical devices. We have focused on developing respiratory and oxygen homecare products in particular since 2006.

We distribute products designed and manufactured by other companies. We broaden our product portfolio through distribution agreements with international manufacturers, and most of the products we distribute are imported. Our distribution offerings are mostly equipment used in the operating room, the intensive care unit (“ICU”) and the emergency room.

Besides distributing medical devices, we also design, develop and market our own proprietary products and medical components. Because we do not run any manufacturing facilities, we contract some of the medical components to outside manufacturers in China. Most of our proprietary products require light assembly by us before distribution.

We sell our products primarily through distributors, but we also make direct sales to hospitals, clinics, government health bureaus and individuals. We continue to further our market reach by introducing newer and more advanced product lines that address different end-user needs.

Macro-Economic Factors and Business Trends

In 2011, the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology announced a medical technology development policy under the “12th Five-Year Plan,” proposing to transfer business focus to the development of new drugs, medical equipment and advanced traditional Chinese medicine, and to the development of the emerging industries of biomedicine. The plan focuses on researching and developing the medium- and high-level diagnostic and curative medical devices which are in high demand and widely used, actively promoting the development of cost-effective medical devices for use in primary health care institutions, enhancing the stability and reliability of medical services and products and researching and developing supplementary medical equipment which can be easily operated for family and self-healthcare. Under the 12th Five-Year Plan, China will proactively promote the reform of healthcare infrastructure system and offer safe, effective, convenient and low-cost medical services to its residents. As a result, management anticipates growth in the Chinese pharmaceutical market.

Current medical device purchases by individuals in China are much lower than they are in Europe and the U.S. It is estimated that twenty percent of individual expenditures on home medical care in China are for medical devices, compared to 50% of such expenditures in Europe and the U.S. As China’s population continues to age, management expects a rapid increase in demand for medical devices, and, as a result, growth in China’s medical device industry.

It is the initial stage of rapid growth of China’s home medical equipment market. As residents’ living standards and consumption structure change, the demand for healthcare services and self-care will substantially increase, creating growth opportunities for participants in the market.

In summary, as a vital component of China’s current health system reform, the medical device industry has been incorporated into the national strategic development plan. In 2013, we anticipate new opportunities, combined with favorable government policies, will position us for continued growth.

New Opportunities in Our Business

Chinese government programs are aimed at rebuilding and renovating urban health centers, and building hospitals and medical centers in rural areas. The government is setting up the goal of having one up-to-standard hospital in every county, one government-run medical center in every township and one clinic in every administrative village. Major portion of the domestic large-scale medical equipment procurement is government centralized procurement. For example, China Development Bank launched the “Supporting Health Infrastructure in Rural Areas” Program with a $690 million budget in the three years from 2011 through 2013.

Fortune magazine predicted homecare medical equipment to be ranked first among the fastest-growing industries in the 21st century. In western countries with mature and large health care markets, home medical equipment accounts for 40% of the entire medical device output. However, in China because of the limited health insurance coverage and level of treatment in the public health systems, residents tend to be more aware of their health and wellness and to seek treatment at home before resorting to public health systems. Thus, management expects that homecare medical equipment could become as abundant as home appliances.

In addition, the UN estimates that the Chinese population over the age of 60 will increase from 167 million in 2010 to 440 million in 2050; hence, the aging population and increasing incidence of respiratory disorders are expected to drive additional growth in respiratory homecare products in the Chinese marketplace.

In 2011, the Shanghai government launched its medical insurance program to subsidize its citizens on homecare oxygen tanks. We anticipate Beijing and other cities will be pushing for similar legislation. Accordingly, in 2011 we partnered with two other companies to provide homecare oxygen tank services in Beijing.

Based on the data shown above, both from a market and a government perspective, we are leveraging our broad sales network in order to introduce additional products from leading international brands into the Chinese market and participating in government healthcare projects. At the same time, we will also increase our investment in R&D, continue marketing penetration for our proprietary products, expand coverage for home oxygen therapy service and focus on broadening international markets. We believe that the favorable market conditions will support growth in sales and that our market expansion strategy will benefit our business growth in the future.

Growth Strategy

We plan to build our brand name domestically as both a distributor and a trusted partner by leveraging our relationships with healthcare professionals, agents and other downstream distributors, maintaining and expanding our customer base, and promoting steady business growth.

We plan to broaden the portfolio of products we distribute for other companies by cooperating with more internationally recognized medical equipment manufacturers. We also intend to take advantage of our well-established distribution network to grow sales revenues. By actively participating in state-level contracted healthcare programs, we will continue to expand our key account business and build a higher level of contact and relationships with the government and other healthcare industrial insiders.

We plan to expand our product portfolio through continued investment in research and development and pursuing attractive opportunities to acquire complementary products and technologies. We will establish an efficient and innovative sleep diagnostic system by developing advanced technologies, continuously strong efforts in research and development of proprietaries and will broaden the market by seeking cooperation with first-class sleep centers in nationwide.

We will continue developing sleep respiratory and oxygen therapy business domestically. We will launch a series of product combinations to address the each specific market of oxygen therapy, including emergency treatment, disaster relief and homecare oxygen therapy services.

We will continue to expand into overseas markets and establish a distribution network, through distribution agreements, OEM partnerships and direct sales force efforts. We will build our brand name by actively participating in international trade shows and other marketing activities. To the extent we have adequate demand for our sleep respiratory and oxygen therapy products abroad, we will continue seeking regulatory approval to sell these products in the United States and Europe.

Results of Operations

Overview

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, our total revenues amounted to approximately $21.37 million and $21.64 million, respectively. Our revenues are subject to value added tax (“VAT”), sales returns and trade discounts. We deduct these amounts from our gross revenues to arrive at our total revenues. Our net income attributable to Dehaier for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $3.21 million and $3.10 million, respectively. Although revenue decreased slightly, net income attributable to Dehaier increased slightly, mainly due to the Company’s operating strategy changes that reduced expenses. While we continuously developed our sales channels on traditional medical devices sales, we have also been adjusting our strategy to expand into government procurement projects and the burgeoning respiratory and oxygen homecare market.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations – Generally

We believe the most significant factors that directly or indirectly affect our sales revenues and net income are: 

Revenues

Our total revenues are derived from our medical devices and our respiratory and oxygen homecare products and services. In 2012, our revenues decreased slightly as we saw a weakening in our traditional medical sales due to increased competition in our market. While we have been successful in growing our higher-margin sales in 2012, we believe that we are still at an early stage in this market and have not yet overcome the traditional market decrease.

Medical Devices (Including Related Supporting Products) – Our Proprietary and Distributed Products

We derive revenues in our medical devices product line from the sale of C-arm X-ray systems, anesthesia machines, medical ventilators, general hospital products and related supporting products (previously defined as technical service products). Our medical device line is our largest product line and has the most extensive market penetration. We anticipate that we will continue to experience revenue growth in our medical devices line as we further develop our market through the introduction of new advanced product offerings and the participation in favorable government programs. In addition, we have begun to engage in state-level healthcare projects recently. We may procure high-end medical equipment for our clients, which may not necessarily be part of our existing distributed brands portfolio. We refer to these kinds of contracted projects as “key account business.” Although this business may carry lower margins, the contract value for such business is typically larger and can contribute materially to our revenues.

Sleep Respiratory and Oxygen Therapy Products

We derive revenues in our sleep respiratory and oxygen therapy line from sales of oxygen concentrators, CPAP devices, and portable sleep diagnostics devices. We anticipate that, on a percentage basis, revenues from sleep respiratory and oxygen therapy product line will increase more rapidly than total revenues in the near term, as we introduce new and more advanced products. We expect to develop our market for sleep respiratory and oxygen therapy market in China and internationally through the use of distributors as well as through our direct sales platform. In addition, we launched the new Effective Oxygen Supplement System in 2012. This system is able to satisfy more demands from a much more detailed and specific market. While we strongly believe in the tremendous growth potential of sleep respiratory and oxygen therapy business in coming years, we are still in the early stage of this business. In 2013, management will be focusing on laying solid foundation, such as introducing more advanced products and penetrating the market, for sleep respiratory and oxygen therapy business, rather than generating considerable revenue from this business.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Our operating costs and expenses consist of cost of revenues, general and administrative expenses, selling expenses and other expenses. Our total operating costs and expenses slightly decreased both as a percentage of our total revenues and in absolute amount for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to the decrease in spending in the homecare and oxygen therapy clients and international market development. Further, our research and development investments and efforts in maintaining capital market relationships contributed to our operating expenses. The following table sets forth the components of our costs and expenses both in U.S. dollar amounts (in thousands) and as a percentage of total revenues for the years indicated.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues primarily includes finished goods, parts for assembly, wages, handling charges, and other expenses associated with the assembly and distribution of product.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits and related costs for our administrative personnel and management, fees and expenses of our outside advisers, including legal, audit and valuation expenses, expenses associated with our administrative offices and the depreciation of equipment used for administrative purposes. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase, both on an absolute basis and as a percentage of revenue, as we hire additional personnel and incur costs related to the anticipated growth of our business. In addition, we expect to continue to incur significant general and administrative expenses as a public company.

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits for our sales and marketing staff, expenses for promotional, advertising, travel and entertainment activities, lease payments for our sales offices, and depreciation expenses related to equipment used for sales and marketing activities. Going forward, we expect our selling expenses to increase, both on an absolute basis and as a percentage of revenue, as we increase our efforts to promote our products, especially our new respiratory and oxygen homecare products.

Results of Operations

We believe that period-to-period comparisons of operating results should not be relied upon as indicative of future performance.

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011.

Revenues

Our total revenues decreased by 1.24% from $21.64 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 to $21.37 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. In 2012, we continuously developed our sales channels for traditional medical devices sales. At the same time, we also began to adjust our operating strategy to expand into government procurement projects and the burgeoning respiratory and oxygen homecare market. Management believes revenues have decreased slightly in traditional device sales due to an increasingly challenging market and new competitors. Further, our government procurement efforts and homecare business are still at a relatively early stage. As a result, our overall revenues are slightly lower than in 2011.

Cost of Revenues

Our cost of revenues decreased by 3.23% from $13.70 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 to $13.25 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Our efforts to manage our inventory and costs allowed us to decrease our cost of revenues slightly more quickly than our decrease in revenues.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit increased from $7.94 million in 2011 to $8.12 million in 2012, and our gross margin increased slightly from 36.70% in 2011 to 37.98% in 2012. Management believes the shift in the Company’s revenue mix away from traditional device sales resulted in increases in gross margin and net income.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses decreased by 12.02% from $4.50 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 to $3.96 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. The expenses decreased more than revenues, largely due to our efforts to reduce traveling and marketing expenses by leveraging our increasingly mature distribution network and shifting away from in-person marketing visits when appropriate. We analyzed our operating expenses by general and administrative expenses and selling expenses in the following parts.

Operating Expenses—General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits and related costs for our administrative personnel and management, and expenses associated with our research and development, registration of patent and intellectual property rights in China and abroad.

Our general and administration expenses decreased by 0.82% from $2.62 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 to $2.60 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. This decrease was mainly due to a reduction in R&D expenses.

We expect that our general and administration expenses will increase in the near future as a result of business expansion..

Operating Expenses—Selling Expense

Our selling expenses decreased by 27.66% from $1.88 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 to $1.36 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

These selling expense decreases are a result of operating efficiency improvements related to more focused marketing efforts that reduced travel expenses when appropriate. We expect our selling expenses will grow as we invest in strengthening our distribution network, growing relationships with our customers, developing the homecare device market (in particular our oxygen therapy service initiative) and driving top-line growth in these areas.

Operating Income

As a result of the foregoing, we generated an operating income of approximately $4.39 million in 2012, compared to approximately $3.61 million in 2011. Operating income increased by 21.46% largely due to the decrease in selling expenses.

Taxation

Our income tax expense was approximately $0.86 million in 2012, compared to approximately $0.66 million in 2011. Our taxable income increased primarily due to the increase in net income.

Net Income

As a result of the foregoing, we had net income of approximately $3.22 million in 2012, compared to approximately $3.13 million in 2011. After deduction of non-controlling interest in income, net income attributable to Dehaier was approximately $3.21 million and $3.10 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows and Working Capital

As of December 31, 2012, we had $3,505,330 in cash and cash equivalents. As a result of decreased cash flow associated with intellectual property investment, partially offset by increased cash flow from operating activities, net cash decreased from $3,694,486 at December 31, 2011. We believe that our currently available working capital of $28,852,500, including cash, should be adequate to meet our anticipated cash needs and sustain our current operations for at least 12 months. To the extent we engage in acquisitions in the future, we may need to rely on a variety of sources of funding, including but not limited to operating cash, and debt and/or equity financing.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,704,876 for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $3,161,752 used in operating activities for the same period in 2011. The reasons for this change are mainly as follows:

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $2,726,507, compared to $155,419 for the same period of 2011. The cash used in investing activities in each year was mainly attributable to capital expenditures for the purchase of new equipment. The increase in 2012 was mainly because the Company completed software copyright registrations for which it had previously invested in research and development.

Financing Activities

We received $2.4 million in proceeds from a short-term bank loan in 2012, which was fully paid during the year, as compared to $1.5 million in 2011.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

The following table sets forth our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2012:

The leased properties are principally located in the PRC, and we use such properties for administration and warehouse facilities. The leases are renewable subject to negotiation.

Short-term borrowings represent short-term loans from two banks, which are due in May 2013 and March 2014.

Capital Expenditures

We made capital expenditures of approximately $2.73 million and $0.15 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, representing 12.73% and 0.69% of our total revenues, respectively. Our capital expenditures were used to purchase machinery for our assembly line and obtain software copyrights. As of December 31, 2012, we had no capital expenditure obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements

We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

Tax Matters Applicable to Our Company

Generally

Dehaier is a tax-exempt company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. BDL and BTL were incorporated in the PRC and are governed by PRC laws.

The Company pays PRC enterprise income taxes, value added taxes and business taxes in China for revenues from BDL, and is governed by British Virgin Islands tax laws as to Dehaier.

British Virgin Islands Tax

We are exempt from all provisions of the Income Tax Act of the British Virgin Islands, including with respect to all dividends, interests, rents, royalties, compensation and other amounts payable by or to persons who are not resident in the British Virgin Islands. Capital gains realized with respect to any of our shares, debt obligations or other securities by persons who are not resident in the British Virgin Islands are also exempt from all provisions of the Income Tax Act of the British Virgin Islands. No estate, inheritance tax succession or gift tax rate, duty, levy or other charge is payable by persons who are not resident in the British Virgin Islands with respect to any of our shares, debt obligations, or other securities. No stamp duty is payable in the British Virgin Islands in relation to a transfer of shares in a British Virgin Islands Business Company.

PRC Enterprise Income Taxes

PRC enterprise income tax is calculated based on taxable income determined under PRC accounting principles.

The Company is subject to the Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”) which provides for a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25%. We are eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the currently prevailing tax laws and administrative regulations through December 31, 2012.

Furthermore, under the EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “de facto management bodies” within the PRC is considered a resident enterprise and will normally be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on its global income. If the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we or any of our non-PRC subsidiaries should be classified as a PRC resident enterprise, then such entity’s global income will be subject to PRC income tax at a tax rate of 25%. In addition, under the EIT Law, payments from BDL to us may be subject to a withholding tax. The EIT Law currently provides for a withholding tax rate of 20%. If Dehaier is deemed to be a non-resident enterprise, then it will be subject to a withholding tax at the rate of 10% on any dividends paid by its Chinese subsidiaries to Dehaier. In practice, the tax authorities typically impose the withholding tax rate of 10% rate, as prescribed in the implementation regulations; however, there can be no guarantee that this practice will continue as more guidance is provided by relevant government authorities. We are actively monitoring the proposed withholding tax and are evaluating appropriate organizational changes to minimize the corresponding tax impact.

In addition, entities that qualify as “high and new technology enterprises” will enjoy a 15% preferential tax rate under the EIT Law. Enterprise that have been certified as “high and new technology enterprises” shall pre-pay EIT at the rate of 25% temporarily until re-certified as “high and new technology enterprises” under Circular 172.

Under the current PRC laws, PRC government grants a preferential income tax rate of 15% to government-certified high technology companies, and under the new standard the period of validity for the certification of high technology companies is three years. In 2009, BDL renewed its certification for “high technology” company, and qualified for the 15% income tax rate to calculate the income tax expense for the periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. In 2012, the Company renewed the high technology company status to maintain its 15% income tax rate. The current preferential rate is scheduled to expire unless renewed in 2015.The income tax rate for BTL was 25% in 2011 and 2012.

PRC Value Added Tax

All entities and individuals that are engaged in the businesses of sales of goods, provision of repair and placement services and importation of goods into China are generally subject to a VAT at a rate of 17% (with the exception of certain goods which are subject to a rate of 13%) of the gross sales proceeds received, less any VAT already paid or borne by the taxpayer on the goods or services purchased by it and utilized in the production of goods or provisions of services that have generated the gross sales proceeds.

PRC Business Tax

Companies in China are generally subject to business tax and related surcharges by various local tax authorities at rates ranging from 3% to 20% on revenue generated from providing services and revenue generated from the transfer of intangibles.

United States Tax

As of December 31, 2012, Breathcare LLC was treated as a pass-through entity under the Internal Revenue Code, so Breathcare LLC does not pay U.S. federal income tax at the entity level. Moreover, to date, Breathcare LLC has not generated any revenues.

Critical Accounting Policies

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dehaier, and its majority-owned and wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

A group of shareholders, including the Chief Executive Officer, originally held more than 50% of the voting ownership interest of Dehaier, BDL and BTL. BTL is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and BDL is the primary beneficiary. BTL owns a building which is pledged as collateral for BDL’s bank loans. In exchange, BDL loans money to BTL to finance its operations. BTL’s primary operation is to provide repairs and transportation services to BDL’s customers. Because of these arrangements, BDL is the primary beneficiary of BTL, as the entity that is most closely associated with BTL. Management makes ongoing reassessments of whether BDL is the primary beneficiary of BTL.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are adjusted to reflect actual experience when necessary. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty obligation, warrants liability, stock-based compensation and useful lives of property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value. Accounts receivable terms typically are 60-180 days from the end of the month in which services are provided or goods are delivered. Our typical trade receivable terms vary based on the type of customer. We general require 100% prepayment before delivering our products to individual clients. Our contract terms general require 10%-30% prepayment for our hospital and healthcare center clients, and the trade receivable term in contracts for those clients is generally between 60 and 90 days. Our contract terms general require 10% prepayment from our distributor clients, and the trade receivable term in contracts for those clients is generally between 60 and 180 days. With the exception of the prepayments we require in some cases, we generally do not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. An allowance, if required, is based on a combination of historical experience, aging analysis, and an evaluation of the collectability of specific accounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements for current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements for both financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flows) and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). For purposes of ASC 820-10-15, nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities would include all assets and liabilities other than those meeting the definition of a financial asset or financial liability as defined in ASC 820-10-15-15-1A.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 815 (formerly Emerging Issue Task Force 07-5), “Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock.” ASC Topic 815 provides a framework for determining whether an instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. ASC Topic 815 became effective for the Company this period when warrants were issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”). Such warrants are indexed to the Company’s common shares, which is traded in US dollars. Since the Company’s functional currency is the RMB, such warrants are considered liabilities. The fair value of the warrant liabilities is measured each reporting period with the resulting change in fair value recorded in the statement of operations. An increase of the warrants liability due to a change in fair value would decrease net income and earnings per share. A decrease in warrants liability due to a change in fair value would increase net income and earnings per share of the Company.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when all the followings conditions have been satisfied:

· Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

· Delivery and/or installation has occurred (e.g., risks and rewards of ownership has passed);

· The sales price is fixed or determinable; and,

· Collectibility is reasonably assured.

All revenues are based on firm customer orders with fixed terms and conditions. Because the products are assembled to the customers’ specification, there is no right of return. The Company does not provide its customers with price protection or cash rebates. For products which include software, the software is an off-the-shelf package and an integral part of the products being delivered. The Company does not provide any significant post-sale customer support services and does not provide customers with upgrades. The software is incidental to the product as a whole. For products that do not require installation, revenues are recognized when the products are delivered. For products that require installation, revenues are recognized when the installation is completed.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year; and, (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740-10, a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination, based on its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position under ASC 740-10 would equal the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all the relevant information. A liability (including interest and penalties, if applicable) is established in the financial statements to the extent a current benefit has been recognized on a tax return for matters that are considered contingent upon the outcome of an uncertain tax position. Related interest and penalties, if any, are included as components of income tax expense and income taxes payable. The Company is awaiting resolution of certain complex tax issues and has not yet filed its 2008 and 2009 Value Added Tax (“VAT”) returns for some of its customers. However, all the potential VAT liabilities on these VAT returns were accrued and included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718-10, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” The Company has a share incentive plan which authorizes the issuance of up to 10% of the number of shares outstanding. Pursuant to the plan, the Company may issue options to purchase its common shares to employees and directors of the Company and its affiliates. The Company fair values share-based awards granted under the plan. Accordingly, compensation is measured on the grant date using appropriate valuation models.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item because the Company is a smaller reporting company.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

The Company’s financial statements and the related notes, together with the report of Friedman LLP are set forth following the signature pages of this report.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A/9A(T). Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of December 31, 2012 (the “Evaluation Date”), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on the foregoing, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of the Evaluation Date the company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that all material information required to be included in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decision regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to consolidated financial statement preparation and presentation and may not prevent or detect misstatements, Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. Based on this assessment, the Company’s management believes that, as of the Evaluation Date, its internal control over financing reporting is effective based on the criteria established in the Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the three or twelve months ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting.

None.

PART III

Regulation S-K Item 401:

Executive Officers and Directors

The following table sets forth our executive officers and directors, their ages and the positions held by them:

Ping Chen. Mr. Chen is our Chief Executive Officer. Prior to his service as our Chief Executive Officer, from 1993-2000, Mr. Chen served as the CEO of Beijing Chengcheng Medical Electronic Equipment Co.

Mr. Chen received his bachelor’s degree in 1984 from the National University of Defense Technology and his master’s degree in 1987 from the Ministry of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Mr. Chen has been chosen as a director because he is our CEO, the leader of our Company and a key experienced member of management.

Employment Agreements

Under Chinese law, we may only terminate employment agreements without cause and without penalty by providing notice of non-renewal one month prior to the date on which the employment agreement is scheduled to expire. If we fail to provide this notice or if we wish to terminate an employment agreement in the absence of cause, then we are obligated to pay the employee one month’s salary for each year we have employed the employee. We are, however, permitted to terminate an employee for cause without penalty to our company, where the employee has committed a crime or the employee’s actions or inactions have resulted in a material adverse effect to us.

Our employment agreements with our executive officers generally provide for a term of three (3) years and a salary to be paid monthly. The agreements also provide that executive officers are to work an average of forty hours per week and are entitled to all legal holidays as well as other paid leave in accordance with PRC laws and regulations and our internal work policies. Under such agreements, our executive officers can be terminated for cause without further compensation. The employment agreements also provide that we will pay for all mandatory social security programs for our executive officers in accordance with PRC regulations. During the agreement and for one (1) year afterward, our executive officers are subject to keep trade secrets confidential.

Share Option Pool

In connection with our initial public offering, we established a pool for share options for our employees. This pool contains options to purchase up to 450,000 of our common shares. The options will vest at a rate of 20% per year for five years and have an exercise price of the market price of our shares on the date the options are granted. As of the date of this report, we have issued all 450,000 options out of our employee share option pool.

Board of Directors and Board Committees

Our board of directors currently consists of 5 directors. There are no family relationships between any of our executive officers and directors. The directors are divided into three classes. Class I directors shall face re-election at our annual general meeting of shareholders in 2013 and every three years thereafter. Class II directors shall face re-election at our annual general meeting of shareholders in 2014 and every three years thereafter. Class III directors shall face re-election at our annual general meeting of shareholders in 2015 and every three years thereafter.

A director may vote in respect of any contract or transaction in which he is interested, provided, however that the nature of the interest of any director in any such contract or transaction shall be disclosed by him at or prior to its consideration and any vote on that matter. A general notice or disclosure to the directors or otherwise contained in the minutes of a meeting or a written resolution of the directors or any committee thereof of the nature of a director’s interest shall be sufficient disclosure and after such general notice it shall not be necessary to give special notice relating to any particular transaction. A director may be counted for a quorum upon a motion in respect of any contract or arrangement which he shall make with our company, or in which he is so interested and may vote on such motion. There are no membership qualifications for directors. Further, there are no share ownership qualifications for directors unless so fixed by us in a general meeting.

The Board of Directors maintains a majority of independent directors who are deemed to be independent under the definition of independence provided by NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 4200(a)(15). Messrs. Fan, Zhang and Genhui Chen are our independent directors.

Mr. Ping Chen currently holds both the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. These two positions have not been consolidated into one position; Mr. Chen simply holds both positions at this time. We do not have a lead independent director because of the foregoing reason and also because we believe our independent directors are encouraged to freely voice their opinions on a relatively small company board. We believe this leadership structure is appropriate because we are a smaller reporting company in the process of listing on a public exchange; as such we deem it appropriate to be able to benefit from the guidance of Mr. Chen as both our principal executive officer and Chairman of the Board.

Board Committees

Currently, three committees have been established under the board: the audit committee, the compensation committee and the nominating committee. The audit committee is responsible for overseeing the accounting and financial reporting processes of our company and audits of the financial statements of our company, including the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of our independent auditors. The compensation committee of the board of directors reviews and makes recommendations to the board regarding our compensation policies for our officers and all forms of compensation, and also administers our incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans (but our board retains the authority to interpret those plans). The nominating committee of the board of directors is responsible for the assessment of the performance of the board, considering and making recommendations to the board with respect to the nominations or elections of directors and other governance issues. The nominating committee considers diversity of opinion and experience when nominating directors.

Duties of Directors

Under British Virgin Islands law, our directors have a duty to act honestly, in good faith and with a view to our best interests. Our directors also have a duty to exercise the care, diligence and skills that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. In fulfilling their duty of care to us, our directors must ensure compliance with our third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. We have the right to seek damages if a duty owed by our directors is breached. The functions and powers of our board of directors include, among others:

Limitation of Director and Officer Liability

British Virgin Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the British Virgin Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.

Under our third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, we may indemnify our directors, officers and liquidators against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings to which they are party or are threatened to be made a party by reason of their acting as our director, officer or liquidator. To be entitled to indemnification, these persons must have acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interest of the company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, they must have had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors or officers under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable as a matter of United States law.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has been convicted in a criminal proceeding, excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors, or has been a party to any judicial or administrative proceeding during the past ten years that resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining the person from future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or a finding of any violation of federal or state securities or commodities laws, any laws respecting financial institutions or insurance companies, any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud in connection with any business entity or been subject to any disciplinary sanctions or orders imposed by a stock, commodities or derivatives exchange or other self-regulatory organization, except for matters that were dismissed without sanction or settlement.

Information with respect to beneficial ownership has been furnished by each director, officer or beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common shares. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally requires that such person have voting or investment power with respect to securities.

DEHAIER MEDICAL SYSTEMS LIMITED AND AFFILIATE

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Dehaier Medical Systems Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dehaier Medical Systems Limited and Affiliate as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, cash flows and equity for the years then ended. Dehaier Medical Systems Limited and Affiliate’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Dehaier Medical Systems Limited and Affiliate as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

DEHAIER MEDICAL SYSTEMS LIMITED AND AFFILIATE

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Dehaier Medical Systems Limited (“Dehaier”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands in 2003 as a limited liability company. Dehaier distributes and provides after-sale services for medical equipment in China mainly through its majority-owned subsidiary Beijing Dehaier Medical Technology Co. Limited (“BDL”) and its affiliate Beijing Dehaier Technology Limited (“BTL”). On November 9, 2011, Dehaier established a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United States, Breathcare LLC (“Breathcare”). Both BDL and BTL were incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Dehaier, through its subsidiaries and affiliate, distributes branded, proprietary medical equipment, such as sleep apnea machines, ventilator air compressors, and oxygen generators. Standard product registration, product certification and quality management system have been established; ISO13485 industry standard has also already been passed. It also has the distribution rights for a number of international medical equipment suppliers for products including anesthesia equipment, patient monitors, mobile C-arm X-ray machines and other medical equipment accessories.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dehaier, and its majority-owned and wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

A group of shareholders, including the Chief Executive Officer, originally held more than 50% of the voting ownership interest of Dehaier, BDL and BTL. BTL owns a building which is pledged as collateral for BDL’s bank loans. In exchange, BDL loans money to BTL to finance its operations. BTL’s primary operation is to provide repairs and transportation services to BDL’s customers. Because of these arrangements, BDL is the primary beneficiary of BTL, as the entity that is most closely associated with BTL. BTL is considered a variable interest entity(“VIE”). Management makes ongoing reassessments of whether BDL is the primary beneficiary of BTL.

The carrying amount and classification of BTL’s assets and liabilities included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows:

The accounts of BTL are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10, “Consolidation”. As a VIE, BTL’s revenues are included in the Company’s service income, and its income from operations is consolidated with the Company’s. Because of the arrangements, the Company had a pecuniary interest in BTL that requires consolidation of the Company’s and BTL’s financial statements.

DEHAIER MEDICAL SYSTEMS LIMITED AND AFFILIATE

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are adjusted to reflect actual experience when necessary. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty obligation, warrants liability, stock-based compensation and useful lives of intangible assets, and property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have maturities of three months or less when purchased. The Company maintains uninsured cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions mainly in the PRC and the States.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value. Accounts receivable terms typically are net 60-180 days from the end of the month in which the services were provided, or when goods were delivered. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. An allowance, if required, is based on a combination of historical experience, aging analysis, and an evaluation of the collectibility of specific accounts. Management considers that receivables over 1 year to be past due. Management has determined that an allowance of $865,769 (RMB5,394,874) and $859,509 (RMB5,419,725) was appropriate at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Other Receivables, Net

Other receivables primarily include advances to employees and advance to suppliers. Management regularly reviews aging of receivables and changes in payment trends and records a reserve when management believes collection of amounts due are at risk. Accounts considered uncollectible are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. Management has determined that an allowance of $598,747 was appropriate at December 31, 2012.

Advances to Suppliers and Advances from Customers

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements for current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

The Company follows the provisions of ASC topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. ASC topic 815 provides a framework for determining whether an instrument is indexed to an entity's own stock. Warrants are indexed to the Company's stock, which is traded in US dollars. Since the Company's functional currency is the RMB, such warrants are considered liabilities. The fair value of the warrants liability is measured each reporting period with the resulting change in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (see Note 14).

The accounting standards regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements define fair value, and establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value.

The three levels are defined as follows:

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black Scholes Model, with level 2 inputs.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and consist of assembled and unassembled parts relating to medical devices. The Company reviews its inventory annually for possible obsolete goods and to determine if any reserves are necessary. The reserve for obsolescence was $51,764 (RMB322,556) for each of 2012 and 2011, and the provision, when necessary, is included in the operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company compares the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company applies a discount rate to the estimated cash flows, and an impairment loss, equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset, is recognized. Management has determined no impairment exists at the balance sheet dates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when all the followings conditions have been satisfied:

*Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

*Delivery and/or installation has occurred (e.g., risks and rewards of ownership have passed);

*The sales price is fixed or determinable; and,

*Collectibility is reasonably assured.

All revenues are based on firm customer orders with fixed terms and conditions. Because the products are assembled to the customers’ specification, there is no right of return. The Company does not provide its customers with price protection or cash rebates. For products that include software, the software is an off-the-shelf package and an integral part of the products being delivered. The Company does not provide any significant post-sale customer support services and does not provide customers with upgrades. The software is incidental to the product as a whole. For products that do not require installation, revenues are recognized when the products are delivered. For products that require installation, revenues are recognized when the installation is completed.

For all service income, the Company recognizes the revenue upon the completion of the repairs when the equipment has been returned to and accepted by the customers.

In the PRC, value added tax (VAT) of 17% of the invoice amount is collected in respect of the sales of goods on behalf of tax authorities. The VAT collected is not revenue of the Company; instead, the amount is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet until such VAT is paid to the authorities.

Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated as a separate component of equity

Earnings per Share

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 260-10, “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to holders of common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the years. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares. Common stock equivalents having an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Value Added Tax

The Company reports revenues net of PRC’s value added tax for all the periods presented in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718-10, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. The Company has a share incentive plan which authorizes the issuance of up to 10% of the number of shares outstanding. Pursuant to the plan, the Company may issue options to purchase its common shares to employees and directors of the Company and its affiliates. The Company fair values share-based awards granted under the plan. Accordingly, compensation is measured on the grant date using appropriate valuation models.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year; and, (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company recorded a deferred tax asset for the temporary differences arising from allowance for doubtful accounts and certain accrued expenses. The Company believes it can utilize the deferred tax asset to offset future taxable income. Therefore, no valuation allowance has been provided as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Income Taxes (Continued)

ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740-10, a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination, based on its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position under ASC 740-10 would equal the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all the relevant information. A liability (including interest and penalties, if applicable) is established in the financial statements to the extent a current benefit has been recognized on a tax return for matters that are considered contingent upon the outcome of an uncertain tax position. Related interest and penalties, if any, are included as components of income tax expense and income taxes payable. The Company had filed its 2008 and 2009 Value Added Tax (“VAT”) returns for some of its customers during the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2012. All the potential VAT liabilities on these VAT returns occurred in current period were also accrued as incurred and included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The implementation of ASC 740-10 resulted in no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statements of income and comprehensive income. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not incur any interest or penalties.

Income tax returns for the year prior to 2010 are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in the ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, for private companies. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption will not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The main objective in developing this Update is to address implementation issues about the scope of Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The objective of this Update is to clarify the scope of the offsetting disclosures and address any unintended consequences. The amendments clarify that the scope of Update 2011-11 applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The amendments in this Update affect entities that have derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Entities with other types of financial assets and financial liabilities subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement also are affected because these amendments make them no longer subject to the disclosure requirements in Update 2011-11. An entity is required to apply the amendments for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this accounting standard will not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
