CHINA WIND SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2008

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization
 
China Winds Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on June 24, 1987 under the name of Malex, Inc. On December 18, 2007, the Company’s corporate name was changed to China Wind Systems, Inc.

On November 13, 2007, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) among Fulland Limited, a Cayman Islands corporation (“Fulland”), the stockholders of Fulland, and Synergy Business Consulting, LLC (“Synergy”), the then principal stockholder of the Company, pursuant to which, simultaneously with the financing described in Note 6, the Company (i) issued 36,577,704 shares of common stock to the former stockholders of Fulland, (ii) purchased 8,006,490 shares of common stock from Synergy for $625,000 and cancelled such shares, (iii) issued Synergy 291,529 shares of common stock for professional services, and (iv) paid cash fees of $415,000 in connection with the Exchange Agreement. The Company paid $1,040,000 from the proceeds of the financing for closing costs, including the $625,000 paid for purchase of shares from Synergy. At the time of the closing, under the Exchange Agreement and the financing, the Company, then known as Malex, Inc. was not engaged in any business activity and was considered a blank check shell.

The Company is the sole stockholder of Fulland. Fulland owns 100% of Green Power Environment Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“Green Power”), which is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). Green Power is a party to a series of contractual arrangements, as fully described below, dated October 12, 2007 with Wuxi Huayang Dyeing Machinery Co., Ltd. (“Dyeing”) and Wuxi Huayang Electrical Power Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Electrical”), and together with Dyeing, sometimes collectively referred to as the “Huayang Companies”), both of which are limited liability companies headquartered in, and organized under the laws of, the PRC.

Fulland is a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on May 9, 2007, which was formed by the owners of the Huayang Companies as a special purpose vehicle for purposes of raising capital, in accordance with requirements of the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”). On May 31, 2007, SAFE issued an official notice known as Hui Zong Fa [2007] No. 106 (“Circular 106”), which requires the owners of any Chinese company to obtain SAFE’s approval before establishing any offshore holding company structure for foreign financing as well as subsequent acquisition matters in China. Accordingly, the owners of the Huayang Companies, Mr. Jianhua Wu and Ms. Lihua Tang, submitted their application to SAFE in early September 2007. On October 11, 2007, SAFE approved their application, permitting these Chinese citizens to establish an offshore company, Fulland, as a special purpose vehicle for any foreign ownership and capital raising activities by the Huayang Companies.

Additionally, on August 27, 2008, the Company incorporated Wuxi Fulland Wind Energy Equipment Co. , Ltd. (“Fulland Wind Energy”). Fulland owns 100% of Fulland Wind Energy, which is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) organized under the laws of the PRC.

In 2007, the Company recapitalized the Company to give effect to the Exchange Agreement discussed above. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the acquisition by the Company of Fulland is considered to be capital transactions in substance, rather than a business combination. That is, the acquisition is equivalent, to the acquisition by Fulland of the Company, then known as Malex, Inc., with the issuance of stock by Fulland for the net monetary assets of the Company. This transaction is reflected as a recapitalization, and is accounted for as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the acquisition is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition. Under reverse acquisition accounting, the comparative historical financial statements of the Company, as the legal acquirer, are those of the accounting acquirer, Fulland. Since Fulland and Greenpower did not have any business activities, the Company’s financial statements prior to the closing on the reverse acquisition, reflect only business of the Huayang Companies. The accompanying financial statements reflect the recapitalization of the stockholders’ equity as if the transactions occurred as of the beginning of the first period presented. Thus, the 36,577,704 shares of common stock issued to the former Fulland stockholders are deemed to be outstanding for all periods reported prior to the date of the reverse acquisition.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Under PRC laws, each of Green Power, Huayang Dye Machine and Huayang Electrical Power Equipment is an independent legal person and none of them is exposed to liabilities incurred by the other parties. The contractual arrangements constitute valid and binding obligations of the parties of such agreements. Each of the contractual arrangements and the rights and obligations of the parties thereto are enforceable and valid in accordance with the laws of the PRC.

Pursuant to the exclusive consulting services agreements between Green Power and the Huayang Companies, Green Power has the exclusive right to provide to the Huayang Companies general business operation services, including advice and strategic planning, as well as consulting services related to the technological research and development of dye and finishing machines, electrical equipments and related products (the “Services”). Under this agreement, Green Power owns the intellectual property rights developed or discovered through research and development, in the course of providing the Services, or derived from the provision of the Services. The Huayang Companies shall pay a quarterly consulting service fees in Renminbi (“RMB”) to Fulland that is equal to all of the Huayang Companies’ profits for such quarter.

Operating Agreement. Pursuant to the operating agreement among Green Power, the Huayang Companies and all shareholders of the Huayang Companies (collectively the “Huayang Companies Shareholders”), Green Power provides guidance and instructions on the Huayang Companies’ daily operations, financial management and employment issues. The Huayang Companies Shareholders must designate the candidates recommended by Green Power as their representatives on the boards of directors of each of the Huayang Companies. Green Power has the right to appoint senior executives of the Huayang Companies. In addition, Green Power agrees to guarantee the Huayang Companies’ performance under any agreements or arrangements relating to the Huayang Companies’ business arrangements with any third party. The Huayang Companies, in return, agrees to pledge their accounts receivable and all of their assets to Green Power. Moreover, the Huayang Companies agrees that without the prior consent of Green Power, the Huayang Companies will not engage in any transactions that could materially affect their respective assets, liabilities, rights or operations, including, without limitation, incurrence or assumption of any indebtedness, sale or purchase of any assets or rights, incurrence of any encumbrance on any of their assets or intellectual property rights in favor of a third party or transfer of any agreements relating to their business operation to any third party.

 NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Option Agreement.  Under the option agreement between the Huayang Companies Shareholders and Green Power, the Huayang Companies Shareholders irrevocably granted Green Power or its designated person an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of the equity interests in the Huayang Companies for the cost of the initial contributions to the registered capital or the minimum amount of consideration permitted by applicable PRC law. Green Power or its designated person has sole discretion to decide when to exercise the option, whether in part or in full. The term of this agreement is ten (10) years from October 12, 2007 and may be extended prior to its expiration by written agreement of the parties.

The accounts of the Huayang Companies are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (Revised), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - an Interpretation of ARB No. 51”. As a VIE, the Huayang Companies sales are included in the Company’s total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with the Company’s, and the Company’s net income includes all of the Huayang Companies net income. The Company does not have any non-controlling interest and accordingly, did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income attributable to the Company. Because of the contractual arrangements, the Company had a pecuniary interest in the Huayang Companies that require consolidation of the Company’s and the Huayang Companies financial statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates in 2008 and 2007 include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the allowance for obsolete inventory, the useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets, accruals for taxes due, and the calculation of the value of warrants granted upon the conversion of debt to preferred stock.

Fair value of financial instruments

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
 
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other then quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
 
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s fair value measurements. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, loans payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, customer advances, and amounts due from related parties approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions mainly in the PRC and the United States. Balances in the United States are insured up to $250,000 at each bank. Balances in banks in the PRC are uninsured.

Concentrations of credit risk
 
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is maintained with state-owned banks within the People’s Republic of China of which no deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts. A significant portion of the Company's sales are credit sales which are primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in these areas; however, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivables is limited due to generally short payment terms. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk. At September 30 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company’s bank deposits by geographic area were as follows:

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company has established, based on a review of its outstanding balances, an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $843,568 and $626,218, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work in process and finished goods related to the Company’s products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the weighted average method. An allowance is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record reserves for the difference between the cost and the market value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates. The Company recorded an inventory reserve of $79,159 and $74,192 at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

Investment in non-marketable equity securities

Certain securities that the Company may invest in can be determined to be non-marketable. Non-marketable securities where the Company owns less than 20% of the investee are accounted for at cost pursuant to APB No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock” (“APB 18”). At December 31, 2007, the Company had a 5% membership interest in Wuxi Huayang Yingran Machinery Co. Ltd. (“Yingran”) amounting to $34,181, which at December 31, 2007, is reflected on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as investments in cost method investee. In March 2008, the Company sold its 5% investment in Yingran to an individual related to the Company’s chief executive officer for a price which approximated its carrying value.

Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not consider it necessary to record any impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

Advances from customers

Advances from customers at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 amounted to $65,850 and $77,357, respectively, and consist of prepayments from third party customers to the Company for merchandise that had not yet been shipped. The Company will recognize the deposits as revenue as customers take delivery of the goods, in compliance with its revenue recognition policy.

Income taxes

The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China and the United States. Income taxes are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company accounts for the product sale as a multiple element arrangement. Revenue from multiple element arrangements is allocated among the separate accounting units based on the residual method. Under the residual method, the revenue is allocated to undelivered elements based on fair value of such undelivered elements and the residual amounts of revenue allocated to delivered elements. The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of dyeing equipment, forged rolled rings, and electric equipment upon shipment and transfer of title. The other elements may include installation and generally a one-year warranty. Equipment installation revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete installation and is recognized when the labor has been completed and the equipment has been accepted by the customer, which is generally within a couple days of the delivery of the equipment. Warranty revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete a service and generally is recognized over the contract period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, amounts allocated to warranty revenues were not material. Based on historical experience, warranty service calls and any related labor costs have been minimal.
 
All other product sales with customer specific acceptance provisions, including the forged rolled rings, are recognized upon customer acceptance and the delivery of the parts or service. Revenues related to spare part sales are recognized upon shipment or delivery based on the trade terms.

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for stock options issued to employees in accordance with SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees.

Shipping costs

Shipping costs are included in selling expenses and totaled $113,367 and $664 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Foreign currency translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company is the local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. The cumulative translation adjustment and effect of exchange rate changes on cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $165,903 and $20,161, respectively. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

Asset and liability accounts at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were translated at 6.8551 RMB to $1.00 USD and at 6.8718 RMB to $1.00 USD, respectively. Equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were 6.99886 RMB and 7.67576 RMB to $1.00 USD, respectively. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows," cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Earnings (loss) per share of common stock
 
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of common shares issuable upon the conversion of Series A convertible stock (using the if-converted method) and common stock warrants.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future Research and Development Activities, (“EITF 07-3”) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. EITF 07-3 requires that nonrefundable advance payments for future research and development activities be deferred and capitalized.

The adoption of EITF 07-3 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) may have an impact on accounting for future business combinations once adopted.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on its financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 161 on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt FSP APB 14-1 beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, and this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 162 to have a material impact on the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

On June 16, 2008, the FASB issued final Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,” to address the question of whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting. The FSP determines that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to dividend payments should be included in earnings per share calculations. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1 as well as the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5 – LAND USE RIGHTS

There is no private ownership of land in China. Land is owned by the government and the government grants land use rights for specified terms. The Company’s land use rights are valued at a fixed amount, which is RMB 27,000,795 at September 30, 2008 and the dollar value of the land use right fluctuates based on the exchange rate. In 2008, in connection with the acquisition of land use rights from a related party (See Note 8), the Company was granted the transferred land use rights from the government and accordingly, the Company reclassified approximately $3,300,000 from deposits on long-term assets to prepaid land use rights and approximately $2,300,000 has been reclassified to distributions to related parties, which represents the excess paid for the land use rights to related parties over the related parties original costs. The Company’s land use rights have terms of 45 and 50 years and expire on January 1, 2053 and October 30, 2053, respectively. The Company amortizes these land use rights over the term of the respective land use right. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, amortization expense amounted to $63,346 and $7,805, respectively.

At the time of the financing, the Company did not have any authorized shares of preferred stock. On March 28, 2008, upon the filing of a restated certificate of incorporation which created a series of preferred stock and gave the board of directors broad authority to create one or more series of preferred stock as well as a statement of designation that set forth the rights, preferences, privileges and limitations of the holders of the series A convertible preferred stock, these notes were automatically converted into an aggregate of (i) 14,787,135 shares of series A preferred stock and (ii) warrants to purchase 11,176,504 shares of common stock at $0.58 per share, 5,588,252 shares of common stock at $0.83 per share, and 2,065,000 shares at $0.92 per share.

The restated certificate of incorporation increased the number of authorized shares of capital stock from 75,000,000 to 210,000,000 shares, of which (i) 150,000,000 shares are designated as common stock, par value of $.001 per share, and (ii) 60,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock, par value of $.001 per share.

·
The holders may not convert the series A preferred stock to the extent that such conversion would result in the holder and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 4.9% of the Company’s common stock. This provision may not be waived or amended.
 
(d) Securities Purchase Agreement

Pursuant to the purchase agreement, in addition to the issuance of the convertible notes:
 
 
·
The Company agreed to have appointed such number of independent directors that would result in a majority of its directors being independent directors, that the audit committee would be composed solely of not less than three independent directors and the compensation committee would have at least three directors, a majority of which shall be independent directors within 90 days after the closing, which was February 11, 2008. Failure to meet this date will result in liquidated damages commencing February 12, 2008, until the date on which the requirement is satisfied. Thereafter, if the Company does not meet these requirements for a period of 60 days for an excused reason, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, or 75 days for a reason which is not an excused reason, this would result in the imposition of liquidated damages. The investors have agreed to waive any liquidated damages related to the initial appointment of independent directors and the establishment of the committees which occurred in March 2008.
 
 
·
The Company agreed to have a qualified chief financial officer who may be a part-time chief financial officer until February 13, 2008.

·
Liquidated damages for failure to comply with the preceding two covenants are computed in an amount equal to 12% per annum of the purchase price, up to a maximum of 12% of the purchase price, which is $663,000, which is payable in cash or series A preferred stock, at the election of the investors. If payment is made is shares of series A preferred stock, each share is valued at $.374 per share.
 
 
·
The Company and the investors entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to file, by January 12, 2008, a registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon conversion of the series A preferred stock and exercise of the warrants and to have the registration statement declared effective by June 11, 2008. The failure of the Company to have the registration statement declared effective by June 11, 2008 and other timetables provided in the registration rights agreement would result in the imposition of liquidated damages, which are payable through the issuance of additional shares of series A preferred stock at the rate of 4,860 shares of series A preferred stock for each day, based on the proposed registration of all of the underlying shares of common stock, with a maximum of 1,770,000 shares. The number of shares issuable per day is subject to adjustment if the Company cannot register all of the required shares as a result of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s interpretation of Rule 415.

The Company’s officers and directors agreed, with certain limited exceptions, not to publicly sell shares of common stock for 27 months or such earlier date as all of the convertible securities and warrants have been converted or exercised and the underlying shares of common stock have been sold.
 
 
·
The Company entered into an escrow agreement pursuant to which the Company issued into escrow its 3% convertible promissory note due March 31, 2008 in the principal amount of $3,000,000. Upon the filing of the Restated Certificate this note automatically was converted into 24,787,135 shares of series A preferred stock. These shares of series A preferred stock are in addition to the 14,787,135 shares of series A preferred stock issued to the investors upon conversion of the convertible notes held by them. The series A preferred stock is to be held in escrow subject to the following.
 
 
o
Prior to September 17, 2008, 14,787,135 shares were held pursuant to the following provisions. If, for the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s pre-tax earnings per share are less than the target numbers, all or a portion of such shares are to be delivered to the Investors. The agreement also had a target for 2007, which was met, and no shares were delivered with respect to 2007. If the pre-tax earnings are less than 50% of the target, all of the shares are to be delivered to the Investors. If the shortfall is less than 50%, the number of shares to be delivered to the Investors is determined on a formula basis. On September 12, 2008, the Investors agreed to eliminate the provisions of the securities purchase agreement that provided for the delivery of shares held in escrow and a reduction in the warrant exercise price if certain levels of pre-tax income were not reached. Pursuant to this agreement, 14,787,135 shares of Series A preferred stock of the 24,787,135 shares held in an escrow account were returned to the Company, with the remaining 10,000,000 reserved to cover potential tax liabilities for 2007 and 2008.
 
 
o
The target number for 2008 is $0.13131 per share. The per share numbers are based on all shares that are outstanding or are issuable upon exercise or conversion of all warrants or options, regardless of whether such shares would be used in computing diluted earnings per share under GAAP.
 
 
o
If the Company does not file its Form 10-K for 2008 within 30 days after the filing is required, after giving effect to any extension permitted by Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any shares remaining in escrow shall be delivered to the Investors.
 
 
o
The remaining 10,000,000 shares of series A preferred stock are to be delivered to the Investors in the event that, based on the Company’s audited financial statements for 2007 and 2008 the Company or certain affiliated companies owes any taxes to the PRC government or any authority or taxing agency of the PRC for any period ended on or prior to September 30, 2007. For each $1.00 of such tax liability, four shares of series A preferred stock are to be delivered to the Investors. At December 31, 2007, the Company did not have any tax liabilities for the period ended on or prior to September 30, 2007.
 
 
·
In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, $30,000 was deducted from the gross proceeds and was paid to an investor as reimbursement for due diligence expenses, which was deferred as a debt discount and was amortized over the life of the convertible notes. Other fees incurred in connection with the debt issuance include $25,000 of legal fees, which were treated as a deferred debt issue costs and are being amortized to debt issue cost expense over the life of the notes. The unamortized portion of this debt discount on March 28, 2008, the date on which the convertible notes were automatically converted, was recognized at that time.

The Company evaluated the application of EITF 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios,” and EITF 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments” and concluded that the convertible notes have a beneficial conversion option Pursuant to EITF 00-27, Issue 15, the Company computed the intrinsic value of the conversion option at $2,610,938 based on a comparison of (a) the proceeds of the convertible debt allocated to the common stock portion of the conversion option by first allocating the proceeds received from the convertible debt offering to the debt and the detachable warrants on a relative fair value basis, and (b) the fair value at the commitment date of the common stock to be received by the Company upon conversion. The excess of (b) over (a) is the intrinsic value of the embedded conversion option of $2,610,938 that has been recognized by the Company as discount to the notes were amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter (1) the term of Notes, (2) the conversion of the notes to common stock, or (3) upon filing by the Company of certificate of designation and immediate conversion of the notes to the series A preferred stock and warrants.

September 30, 2008

The Company filed the Restated Certificate on March 28, 2008 and accordingly, the Company recognized the value of the warrants and any remaining debt discount upon conversion of the debt.

The conversion features for the convertible notes have been evaluated under FAS 150, FAS 133, and EITF 00-19 and are deemed not to be an embedded derivative and any value attributable to these features would be classified as equity.

As discussed above, upon filing of the Company’s restated certificate of incorporation on March 28, 2008, the Company issued warrants to purchase 18,829,756 shares of the common stock. At November 13, 2007, the fair value of the warrants used to calculate the intrinsic value of the conversion option was estimated at $2,884,062 and was computed using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the assumed issuance of the warrants on the date the notes were issued. Variables used in the option-pricing model include (1) risk-free interest rate at the date of grant (3.84%), (2) expected warrant life of 5 years, (3) expected volatility of 150%, and (4) 0% expected dividend.

As the series A preferred stock does not require redemption by the Company or have a finite life, upon issuance of the warrants, a one-time preferred stock deemed dividend of $2,884,062 was recognized immediately as a non-cash charge at March 28, 2008. The non-cash, deemed dividend did not have an effect on net earnings or cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The estimated fair market value of the warrants of $2,884,062 has been recorded as additional paid-in capital and a reduction to retained earnings.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, amortization of debt issue costs was $21,429 and included any remaining balance of debt issue costs that was expensed upon conversion of the convertible debt to the series A preferred stock. At December 31, 2007, deferred debt costs of $21,429 were included in prepaid expenses and other on the consolidated balance sheets. The amortization of debt discounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $2,263,661, which has been included in interest expense on the accompanying statement of operations and included any remaining balance of the debt discount that was expense upon conversion of the convertible debt to the series A preferred stock, which occurred on March 28, 2008.

In November 2007, the Company evaluated whether or not the convertible notes contain embedded conversion options, which meet the definition of derivatives under SFAS 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and related interpretations. The Company concluded that since the convertible notes had a fixed conversion rate of $0.374, the convertible notes were not derivative instruments. The Company analyzed this provision under EITF 05-04 and, although the debt is unconventional, the reset provision is deemed within the Company’s control and therefore it qualified as equity under EITF 00-19

This original purchase price was reduced by 9,196,341RMB or approximately $1,257,000 which represents 33% of the appreciation in the long-term assets attributable to Boiler prior to the Company’s sales of its interest in Boiler.The long-term assets consist of i) an approximately 100,000 square foot factory which was substantially completed in 2005, ii) land use rights, iii) employee housing facilities and iv) other leasehold improvements. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, payments totaling 80,086,159 RMB and 79,458,230 RMB or approxmately $11,682,000 and $10,864,000, respectively, had been made to Boiler, adjusted by the foreign exchange rate. In 2008, in connection with the acquisition of land use rights from a related party, the Company was granted the transferred land use rights from the government and accordingly, the Company reclassified approximately $3,300,000 from deposits on long-term assets to land use rights (See Note 5) and the remaining amount of $2,300,000, which represents the excess of amount paid for land use rights over the original cost of the land use rights, has been reflected as a distribution to related parties. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has not received title to the facilities and the property has not been placed in service. The Company has initiated the transfer of the title to the facilities and the transfer is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2008 at which time the deposit on long-term assets will be reclassified to property and equipment. In connection with the remaining deposit on long-term assets, the Company reclassified approximately $404,000 from a deposit on long-term assets to a distribution to related parties, which represents the excess of amount paid for the facilities including the factory and other buildings, over the original cost of the facilities.

At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, deposits on long-term assets are as follows:

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, ‘‘Accounting for Income Taxes’’ (‘‘SFAS 109’’). SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carryforwards. SFAS 109 additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Realization of deferred tax assets, including those related to the U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, are dependent upon future earnings, if any, of which the timing and amount are uncertain. Accordingly, the net deferred tax asset related to the U.S. net operating loss carryforward has been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China and the United States.

In 2008 and 2007, under the Income Tax Laws of PRC, Chinese companies are generally subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 25% and 33%, respectively, on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. The Company’s VIE, Dyeing is subject to these statutory rates. In 2007, pursuant to local taxing regulations, the Company’s VIE, Electric, paid tax under a simplified method of recording under the following formula: (Net revenues x 5% x 33%). China Wind Systems, Inc. was incorporated in the United States and has incurred net operating losses of approximately $100,000 for income tax purposes for the year ended December 31, 2007 subject to the Internal Revenue Code Section 382, which places a limitation on the amount of taxable income that can be offset by net operating losses after a change in ownership. The net operating loss carries forward for United States income taxes, which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income. These carry forwards will expire, if not utilized, through 2027. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses appears uncertain due to the Company’s limited operating history and continuing losses for United States income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset benefit to reduce the asset to zero. Management will review this valuation allowance periodically and make adjustments as warranted.

NOTE 11 – STATUTORY RESERVES

The Company is required to make appropriations to reserve funds, comprising the statutory surplus reserve, statutory public welfare fund and discretionary surplus reserve, based on after-tax net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC GAAP”). Appropriation to the statutory surplus reserve should be at least 10% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with the PRC GAAP until the reserve is equal to 50% of the entities’ registered capital or members’ equity. Appropriations to the statutory public welfare fund are at a minimum of 5% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP. Commencing on January 1, 2006, the new PRC regulations waived the requirement for appropriating retained earnings to a welfare fund. As of December 31, 2006, the Company appropriated the required maximum 50% of its registered capital to statutory reserves for Dyeing. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, statutory reserve activity is as follows:

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

From October 1, 2008 to November 10, 2008, the Company issued 303,434 shares of its common stock pursuant to an exercise of warrants for proceeds of $175,992.

On October 17, 2008, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Eos Holdings LLC for the sale of a 17.4% subordinated note, due six months from the date of issuance (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $575,000, for a purchase price of $575,000. Under the terms of the purchase agreement and the Note, the Company may prepay the Note, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the maturity date of the Note upon five days’ oral or written notice to Eos Holdings. On November 14, 2008, the Company repaid the principal balance of this note in full.
 
As a condition to the sale of the Note, the purchase agreement requires that Eos Holdings exercise certain common stock purchase warrants having a total exercise price of not less than $175,000, at a per share exercise price of $.58. On October 17, 2008, Eos Holdings purchased the Note and exercised the warrants.
 
Payment of the Company’s obligations of the Note were initially secured by a pledge of and conversion right with respect to 959,000 shares (the “Pledged Shares”) of the Company’s common stock owned by Jianhua Wu, the Company’s chief executive officer and principal beneficial owner of common stock. The pledge and conversion right enables Eos Holdings to convert any or all of the principal amount of the Note into Pledged Shares at any time or from time to time until the Note is paid in full or until Eos Holdings exercises the conversion right in full, at an initial conversion price of $.60 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The number of Pledged Shares to be delivered shall be determined by dividing the principal amount of the Note being converted by the Conversion Price, with any fractional shares to be rounded to the nearest whole share. The Pledged Shares shall be held in escrow.
 
On October 23, 2008, pursuant to a restated pledge and conversion right agreement, the number of Pledged Shares was increased to 1,437,500 shares of common stock and the Conversion Price was reduced to $0.40 per share.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

The following analysis of the results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and notes thereto contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

Prior to November 13, 2007, we were a public reporting blind pool company with no assets. On November 13, 2007, we executed and completed the transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement with Fulland and its stockholders and Synergy, which was then principal stockholder. Pursuant to this agreement, simultaneously with the financing as discussed below, (i) the Company issued 36,577,704 shares of common stock to the former stockholders of Fulland, (ii) purchased 8,006,490 shares of common stock from Synergy for $625,000 and cancelled such shares, (iii) issued Synergy 291,529 shares of common stock for professional services, and (iv) paid cash fees of $415,000 in connection with the exchange agreement. Aggregate payments of $1,040,000 were made from the proceeds of the financing, including the $625,000 paid to Synergy as described above.

Fulland conducts its business operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Green Power, in PRC as a wholly-owned foreign limited liability company. Green Power, through the Huayang Companies, is engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of a variety of high and low temperature dyeing and finishing machinery, the manufacture of high precision forged rolled rings for the wind power industry and other industries and the design, manufacture and sale of electric power auxiliary apparatuses (including coking equipment), sewage-treatment equipment and related parts or fittings. Green Power operates and controls the Huayang Companies through contractual arrangements. Fulland used the contractual arrangements to acquire control of the Huayang Companies, instead of acquiring the business of Huayang Companies in order not to violate the laws of the PRC that significantly restrict a PRC company from selling its assets to a foreign entity other than for cash and otherwise impose restriction on foreign investment in PRC companies.

Additionally, on August 27, 2008, the Company incorporated Wuxi Fulland Wind Energy Equipment Co. , Ltd. (“Fulland Wind Energy”). Fulland owns 100% of Fulland Wind Energy, which is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) organized under the laws of the PRC.

The acquisition of Fulland was accounted for as a reverse merger because on a post-merger basis, the former shareholders of Fulland held a majority of our outstanding common stock on a voting and fully-diluted basis. As a result of the share exchange, Fulland was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the financial statement data presented are those of Fulland (including the Huayang Companies) for all periods prior to our acquisition of Fulland on November 13, 2007, and the financial statements of the consolidated companies from the acquisition date forward. Since Fulland did not have any separate operations prior to November 13, 2007, the financial statements of Fulland reflect the operations of the Huayang Companies.

Our revenues are derived from two unrelated businesses – (1) the manufacture of dyeing and finishing equipment and (2) the manufacture of forged rolled rings and other components for the wind power and other industries and electric power auxiliary apparatuses (including coking equipment). We market products from these two segments with independent marketing groups to different customer bases.

Dyeing and finishing equipment segment
 
The dyeing and finishing equipment business has been the principal source of our revenue and operating income, accounting for 54.5% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 81.1% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007. Substantially all of our sales of these products are made to companies in the PRC. As a result, we are dependent upon the continued growth of the textile industry in the PRC. To the extent that growth in this industry stagnates in the PRC, whether as a result of export restrictions from countries such as the United States, who are major importers of Chinese-made textiles, or shifts in international manufacturing to countries which may have a lower cost than the PRC or overexpansion of the Chinese textile industry, we will have more difficulty in selling these products in the PRC, and we may have difficulty exporting our equipment. Further, as the textile industry seeks to lower costs by purchasing equipment that uses the most technological developments to improve productivity, reduce costs and have less adverse environmental impact, if we are not able to offer products utilizing the most current technology, our ability to market our products will suffer. Although we seek to work with our customers in designing equipment to meet their anticipated needs, we cannot assure you that we will be able to develop products and enhancements that are required or desired by the industry.

28

 
Forged rolled rings and electric power equipment segment
 
In our forged rolled rings and electrical power equipment segment, we manufacture high precision forged rolled rings for the wind power industry and other industries. Additionally, we also manufacture specialty equipment used in the production of coal generated electricity. Revenue from our forged rolled rings and electrical power equipment segment accounted for 49.4% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008, 45.5% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, and 18.9% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 and is summaries as follows:

During 2007, we began to generate revenue from the forging of rolled rings for the wind power and other industries. These activities accounted for 44.7% of net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008, 40.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 7.8% for the year ended December 31, 2007. We expect that rolled rings will become a more significant percentage of total revenues in the future, and, in this connection we are expanding our manufacturing facilities to enable us to manufacture forged rolled rings with a larger diameter in order to meet the perceived needs of the wind power industry.

We acquired from an affiliated company for a net price of approximately $10,950,000, an approximately 100,000 square foot factory which was substantially completed in 2005 together with the related land use rights, employee housing facilities and other leasehold improvements. As of September 30, 2008, the purchase price was fully paid. Furthermore, through September 30, 2008, we have incurred additional costs of approximately $2.2 million for leasehold improvements to upgrade this facility for the eventual manufacture of larger roll rings and other components with a focus on the wind power industry. Although we have received the land use rights, as of the date of this report, we have not received title to the factory facilities and the property has not been placed in service. We intend to use this new facility to manufacture forged rolled rings and other components for use in the wind power and other industries. To date, most of our rolled ring sales have been for non-wind applications.  As we expand our facilities to accommodate the manufacture of rolled rings with larger diameters, we plan to develop products for which the wind industry is a more important target market. Wind power accounts for an insignificant percentage of the power generated in the PRC, and our ability to market to this segment is dependent upon both the growth of the acceptance of wind power as an energy source in the PRC and the acceptance of our products.

In addition to manufacturing forged roll rings, we market electrical power equipment to operators of coal-fired electricity generation plants. Our ability to market these products is dependent upon the continued growth of coal-generated power plants and our ability to offer products that enable the operators of the power plants to produce electricity through a cleaner process than would otherwise be available at a reasonable cost. To the extent that government regulations are adopted that require the power plants to reduce or eliminate polluting discharges from power plants, our equipment would need to be redesigned to meet such requirements.

Our products are sold for use by manufacturers of industrial equipment. Because of the recent decline in oil prices and the general international economic trends, the demand for products used in manufacturing in general, in the dyeing and finishing as well as wind power industries may be uncertain. Although we believe that over the long term, the wind power segment will expand, in the short term these factors may affect the requirements by our customers and potential customers for our products. To the extent that the demand for our forged rolled rings declines, our revenue and net income will be affected.

29


A major element of our cost of sales is raw materials, principally steel and other metals. These metals are subject to fluctuation prices, and recently these fluctuations have been significant. In times of increasing prices, we need to try to fix the price at which we purchases raw materials in order to avoid increases in costs which we cannot recoup through increases in sales prices. Similarly, in times of decreasing prices, we may have purchased metals at prices which are high in terms of the price at which we can sell our products, which also can impair our margins. During both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, are gross margins decreased from the prior year largely as a result of increases in the price of steel and other metals that we were not able to pass on to our customers.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Significant estimates in 2008 and 2007 include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the allowance for obsolete inventory, the useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets, and accruals for taxes due.

Variable Interest Entities

Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (Revised), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46R”) we are required to include in our consolidated financial statements the financial statements of variable interest entities. FIN 46R requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the variable interest entity or is entitled to receive a majority of the variable interest entity’s residual returns. Variable interest entities are those entities in which we, through contractual arrangements, bear the risk of, and enjoy the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity, and therefore we are the primary beneficiary of the entity. 

The Huayang Companies are considered variable interest entities (“VIE”), and we are the primary beneficiary. On November 13, 2007, we entered into agreements with the Huayang Companies pursuant to which we shall receive 100% of the Huayang Companies net income. In accordance with these agreements, the Huayang Companies shall pay consulting fees equal to 100% of its net income to our wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, Green Power, and Green Power shall supply the technology and administrative services needed to service the Huayang Companies.  

The accounts of the Huayang Companies are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements pursuant to FIN 46R. As a VIE, the Huayang Companies sales are included in our total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with our, and our net income includes all of the Huayang Companies net income. We do not have any non-controlling interest and accordingly, did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income attributable to us. Because of the contractual arrangements, we have pecuniary interest in the Huayang Companies that require consolidation of our financial statements and the Huayang Companies financial statements.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting of raw materials and finished goods related our products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the weighted average method. An allowance is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, we will record reserves for the difference between the cost and the market value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates.

30


Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

 
 
Useful Life
 
Building and building improvements
   
20 Years
 
Manufacturing equipment
   
5 – 10 Years
 
Office equipment and furniture
   
5 Years
 
Vehicle
   
5 Years
 

The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition.

Long-lived assets are reviewed periodically or more often if circumstances dictate, to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. We consider assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. We also re-evaluate the amortization periods to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.
 
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” we examine the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. We recognize an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.

Land use rights

There is no private ownership of land in the PRC. All land in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to any individual or company. The government grants a land use right that permits the holder of the land use right to use the land for a specified period. Our land use rights were granted for a term of 50 years. Any transfer of the land use right requires government approval. We have recorded as land use rights the costs paid to acquire a land use rights. The land use rights are amortized on the straight-line method over the land use right terms which range from 45 to 50 years.

Revenue recognition

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We account for the product sales as a multiple element arrangement. Revenue from multiple element arrangements is allocated among the separate accounting units based on the residual method. Under the residual method, the revenue is allocated to undelivered elements based on fair value of such undelivered elements and the residual amounts of revenue allocated to delivered elements. We recognize revenue from the sale of dyeing and electric equipment upon shipment and transfer of title. The other elements may include installation and generally a one-year warranty. Equipment installation revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete installation and is recognized when the labor has been completed and the equipment has been accepted by the customer, which is generally within a close to the date of delivery of the equipment. Warranty revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete a service and generally is recognized over the contract period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, amounts allocated to warranty revenues were not material. Based on historical experience, warranty service calls and any related labor costs have been minimal.
 
All other product sales, including the forging of parts, with customer specific acceptance provisions, are recognized upon customer acceptance and the delivery of the parts or service. Revenues related to spare part sales are recognized upon shipment or delivery based on the trade terms.

Research and development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, and are included in general and administrative expenses. These costs primarily consist of cost of material used and salaries paid for the development of our products and fees paid to third parties. Our total research and development expense through September 30, 2008 has not been significant.

Income taxes

We are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC. Income taxes are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. The charge for taxes is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
 
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they related to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

We adopted FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no affect on our financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements 

In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future Research and Development Activities, (“EITF 07-3”) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. EITF 07-3 requires that nonrefundable advance payments for future research and development activities be deferred and capitalized. Such amounts will be recognized as an expense as the goods are delivered or the related services are performed. The adoption of EITF 07-3 did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) may have an impact on accounting for future business combinations once adopted.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We have not determined the effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on our financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 161 on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt FSP APB 14-1 beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, and this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 162 to have a material impact on the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

On June 16, 2008, the FASB issued final Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,” to address the question of whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting. The FSP determines that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to dividend payments should be included in earnings per share calculations. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1 as well as the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

* Because the sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was minimal, the percentage increase is not meaningful.

Our revenue increases were attributable to:
 
 
·
The increase in revenues from the sale of dyeing and finishing equipment was attributable to continued strong sales of our equipment to the textile industry. However, the recent economic slowdown has affected various countries, especially the export sector in China. We expect to see a decreasing trend in our dyeing and finishing equipment business as we see the textile industry impacted by recessions in other countries. Yet, we remain confident with the outlook of our forging business for the wind power industry as the Chinese government is committed to supporting wind power in order to reduce the Country’s reliance on coal.
 
 
·
We have experienced an increase in revenues from the sale of forged rings to the other industries such as the railway, heavy machinery manufacturing, petrochemical, metallurgical, sea port machinery, and defense and radar industry. This source of revenue was nominal for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
     
 
·
Revenue from the sale of forged rings to the wind power industry, which was nominal in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased to $5 million and is attributable to the demand for our forged rolled rings that will be used in the production of wind turbine components such as gear boxes and yaw bearings. During the period, the wind power industry experienced tremendous growth and the industry faced a serious shortage of various components, principally gearboxes and bearings.
     
 
·
The change in revenues from the sale of standard and custom auxiliary equipment for use in the power industry in China was minimal and is attributable to the continued sale of additional pieces of equipment to the power industry.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased $11,677,174 or 98.7%, from $11,831,546 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $23,508,720 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Cost of goods sold for Dyeing was $12,655,396 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $10,259,754 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Cost of sales related to the manufacture of forged rolled rings and other components and electric power generating equipment and was $10,853,324 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $1,571,792 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Gross margin. Our gross profit was $7,891,466 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $4,757,929 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, representing gross margins of 25.2% and 28.7%, respectively. Gross profit for Dyeing was $4,470,523 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $4,227,467 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, representing gross margins of approximately 26.1% and 29.1%, respectively. The modest decrease in our gross margin was attributable to an increase in raw material costs such as steel and other metals which could not be passed on to our customers during that period. Gross profits from forged rolled rings and electric power equipment segment were $3,420,944 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $530,462 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, representing gross margins of approximately 24.0% and 25.2%, respectively.

35


Depreciation and amortization expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, depreciation expense amounted to $482,376 and $450,881, of which $254,187 and $243,006 is included in cost of sales and $228,189 and $207,875 is included in operating expenses, respectively. The overall increase in depreciation and amortization reflects addition equipment which we purchased.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,681,177 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $566,106 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $1,115,071 or approximately 197.0%. Selling, general and administrative expenses consisted of the following:

Since the share exchange in November 2007, we have incurred professional fees, principally as a result of our status as a public company. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, professional fees amounted to $398,724 as compared to $0 in the 2007 period. Our professional fees consisted primarily of legal fees of $165,027, audit fees of $103,020, investor relation fees of $108,055, and other professional fees.
 
·
Payroll and related benefits increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 by $279,148, or 506.0%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007. In November 2007, we hired additional personnel in accounting, our chief financial officer, a translator, and administration staff due to our increased operations and additional workload in connection with being a public company. Additionally, the increase in payroll and related benefits reflected stock based compensation of $75,000 resulting from the issuance of common stock to two independent directors,
 
·
Travel expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased by $44,950, or 34.5%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase is related to increased travel by sales personnel and engineers as well as increased travel due to investor road shows.
 
·
Bad debts expenses decreased by $11,066 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007 based on our analysis of accounts receivable balances.
 
·
Other selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $403,315 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007 due to increased operations, increases in insurance expense due to our directors’ and officers’ liability policy, and increase in rent expense related to our land use rights.

Income from operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, income from operations was $5,982,100 as compared to $3,983,948 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $1,998,152 or 50.2%.

Other income (expenses). For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, other expense amounted to $2,308,584 as compared to other income of $6,740,454 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, other expenses included i) interest expense of $2,298,874 consisting of non-cash interest expense of $2,263,661 from the amortization of the balance of debt discount arising from the valuation of the beneficial conversion features recorded in connection with our November 2007 private placement offset by the reversal of accrued interest of $20,719 and ii) amortization of debt issuance costs of $21,429 and iii) interest income of $11,719. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, other income consisted of interest expense of $31,360 offset by interest income of $372.
Additionally, in the 2007 period, other income includes a gain from the forgiveness of income and value-added taxes of $6,771,442 and reflects the reversal of tax accruals previously made resulting from the grant by the local tax agency to the Huayang Companies of a special tax exemption and release from any unpaid corporate income tax and value added tax liabilities and any related penalties through September 30, 2007. This waiver covered all tax reporting periods through September 30, 2007.
 
Income tax expense. Income tax expense increased $336,237 or approximately 25.5% during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 primarily as a result of the increase in taxable income generated by our operating entities.

36


 Net income (loss). For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded net income of $2,022,185 as compared to net income of $9,409,308 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded a deemed beneficial dividend related to the fair value of warrants granted in March 2008 as a result of the automatic conversion of our convertible debt into series A preferred stock and warrants upon the amendment of our certificate of incorporation to create a class of preferred stock and the creation of the series A preferred stock. This deemed dividend reduced the net income available to common stockholders. Accordingly, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we generated a net loss available to common stockholders of $861,877 or $(0.02) per share (basic and diluted) as compared to net income per common share of $0.26 (basic and diluted) for the nine months September 30, 2007.

Foreign currency translation gain. The functional currency of our subsidiaries operating in the PRC is the Chinese Yuan or Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of our subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for the period) for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations. As a result of these translations, which are a non-cash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of $1,679,553 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $523,986 for comparable period in 2007. This non-cash gain had the effect of increasing our reported comprehensive income.
 
Comprehensive income (loss). For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, comprehensive income of $3,701,738 is derived from the sum of our net income of $2,022,185 plus foreign currency translation gains of $3,701,738.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 

Revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, we had revenues of $11,770,162, as compared to revenues of $8,000,293 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $3,769,869 or approximately 47.1%. The increase in total revenue was attributable to increases from both of our segments and is summarized as follows:

·
Increases in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007 are attributable to similar explanations provided in our discussion of results of operations for the nine month period. We had a decrease in revenues of dyeing and finishing machines. The recent economic slowdown has affected various countries, especially the export sector in China. We expect to see a decreasing trend in our dyeing and finishing equipment business as we see the textile industry impacted by recessions in other countries. Yet, we remain confident with the outlook of our forging business for the wind power industry as the Chinese government is committed to supporting wind power in order to reduce the China’s reliance on coal. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, we had recognized increased revenues from the shipment of more units of electrical equipment as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased $3,182,412 or 56.4%, from $5,633,977 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $8,816,389 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Cost of goods sold for Dyeing was $4,388,985 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $4,419,881 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Cost of sales related to the manufacture of forged rolled rings and other components, and electric power generating equipment and was $4,427,404 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $1,214,096 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Gross margin. Our gross profit was $2,953,773 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $2,366,316 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, representing gross margins of 25.1% and 29.6%, respectively. Gross profit for Dyeing was $1,569,642 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $1,867,907 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, representing gross margins of approximately 26.3% and 29.7%, respectively. Gross profit related to the forged rolled rings and electric power equipment was $1,384,131 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $498,409 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, representing gross margins of approximately 23.8% and 29.1%, respectively. The decrease in our gross margin was attributable to an increase in raw material costs such as steel and other metals which could not be passed on to our customers during that period as well as a decrease in revenues.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization amounted to $159,454 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and $151,430 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, of which $89,742 and $82,823 is included in cost of sales and $69,712 and $68,607 is included in operating expenses, respectively. The overall increase in depreciation and amortization reflects addition equipment which we purchased.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $483,790 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $291,771 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $192,019 or approximately 86%.

Since the share exchange in November 2007, we have incurred professional fees, principally as a result of our status as a public company. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, professional fees amounted to $18,204 as compared to $0 in the 2007 period.
 
·
Payroll and related benefits increased for the three months ended September 30, 2008 by $79,256, or 243.6%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007. In November 2007, we hired additional personnel in accounting, our chief financial officer, a translator, and administration staff due to our increased operations and additional workload in connection with being a public company.
 
·
For the three months ended September 30, 2008, travel expense increased by $26,722, or 57.7%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007 as a result of increased travel by sales personnel as well as increased travel for investor road shows.
 
·
Bad debts expenses increased by $1,792 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007 based on our analysis of accounts receivable balances.
 
·
Other selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $114,130 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2007 primarily resulting from an increase in insurance expense and rent expense related to prepaid land use rights.

Income from operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, income from operations was $2,469,983 as compared to $2,074,545 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $395,438 or 19.1%.

38


Other income (expenses). For the three months ended September 30, 2008, other expense amounted to $18,352 as compared to other income of $6,761,587 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, other expenses reflected interest expense of $20,427 offset by interest income of $2,075. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, other income consisted of interest expense of $9,946 offset by interest income of $91. Additionally, for the three months ended September 30, 2007, other income includes a gain from the forgiveness of income and value-added taxes of $6,771,442 and reflects the reversal of tax accruals previously made resulting from the grant by the local tax agency to the Huayang Companies of a special tax exemption and release from any unpaid corporate income tax and value added tax liabilities and any related penalties through September 30, 2007. This waiver covered all tax reporting periods through September 30, 2007.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense decreased $124,071 or approximately 17.4% during the three months ended September 30, 2008 primarily as a result of the increase in taxable income generated by our operating entities offset by a reduction in the statutory rate from 33% to 25%.
 
Net income. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded net income of $1,860,862, or $0.05 per share (basic) and $0.03 per share (diluted) as compared to net income of $8,121,292, or $0.22 per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended September 30, 2007. 

Foreign currency translation gain. The functional currency of our subsidiaries operating in the PRC is the Chinese Yuan or Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of our subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for the period) for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations. As a result of these translations, which are a non cash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of $67,269 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $299,690 for comparable period in 2007. This non-cash gain had the effect of increasing our reported comprehensive income.
 
Comprehensive income. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, comprehensive income of $1,928,131 is derived from the sum of our net income of $1,860,862 plus foreign currency translation gains of $67,269.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had cash balances of $744,885 and $5,025,434, respectively. These funds are located in financial institutions located as follows:

Our working capital position decreased $1,112,090 to $2,073,185 at September 30, 2008 from working capital of $3,185,275 at December 31, 2007. This decrease in working capital is primarily attributable to a decrease in cash of $4,280,549 and an increase in accounts payable of $1,356,837 offset by a net increase in accounts receivable of $1,784,182 and the conversion of convertible debt of $3,261,339 into shares of our series A preferred stock and warrants.

Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $5,039,650 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to net cash flow provided by operating activities was $6,168,220 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $1,128,570. Net cash flow provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was mainly due to net income of $2,022,185, the add-back of non-cash items of depreciation and amortization of $482,376, the amortization of debt discount of $2,263,661, the amortization of deferred debt costs of $21,429, the increase in our allowance for bad debt of $171,816, non-cash rent expense associated with prepaid land use rights of $63,346, and the add-back of stock-based compensation of $75,000, the decrease in prepaid and other assets of $280,762 and advances to suppliers of $726,728 and an increase in accounts payable of $1,189,915 offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $1,777,797, inventories of $124,107, and the payment of VAT and service taxes of $389,946. Net cash flow provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was mainly due to our net income of $9,409,308, a decrease in inventories of $426,386, and increase in accounts payable of $1,153,705, an increase in VAT and services taxes payable of $1,011,064, an increase in income taxes payable of $957,899, and increase in advanced from customers of $1,830,260, and the add-back of non-cash items of depreciation and amortization of $450,881 offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $2,538,272, increases in advances to suppliers of $127,886, and the add back of other income from forgiveness of income and VAT taxes of $6,771,442.

Net cash flow used in investing activities was $11,537,578 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $6,269,587 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we received cash from the repayment of amounts due from related parties of $145,808 and from the sale of our cost-method investee of $35,720 offset by the purchase of property and equipment of $11,629,385 and the payment of deposits on factory equipment of $89,721. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we used cash for advances for amounts due from related parties of $486,032 and for the purchase of property and equipment of $17,581, and cash used deposits on long-term assets – related party of $5,792,030.

Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $2,051,476 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $260,561 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we received proceeds from short-term bank loans of $142,880, and proceeds from the exercise of warrants of $2,011,575 offset by the repayment of related party advances of $102,979. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we received proceeds from short-term bank loans of $260,561.

In July 2007, in connection with the expansion of our forged rolled ring and electrical power equipment segment to develop and market forged rolled rings and related equipment to the wind power industry, we acquired a factory, together with the related land use rights, employee housing facilities and other leasehold improvements from a related party for a net price of approximately $10,500,000. As of September 30, 2008, the amount was paid in full. We also incurred additional construction and improvement costs and acquired new equipment of approximately $11.6 million for our planned expansion of our rolled ring business to enable us to manufacture larger rolled rings and other components.

At September 30, 2008, we required approximately $2,000,000 in order for us to continue the planned expansion of our business. We raised funds in October 2008 through the sale of debt and equity securities. On October 17, 2008, we entered into a purchase agreement with Eos Holdings LLC for the sale of a 17.4% subordinated note, due six months from the date of issuance (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $575,000, for a purchase price of $575,000. Under the terms of the purchase agreement and the Note, we may prepay the Note, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the maturity date of the Note upon five days’ notice to Eos Holdings. On November 14, 2008, we repaid the principal balance of $575,000 in full.
 
As a condition to the sale of the Note, the purchase agreement requires that Eos Holdings exercise certain common stock purchase warrants having a total exercise price of not less than $175,000, at a per share exercise price of $.58. On October 17, 2008, Eos Holdings purchased the Note and exercised the warrants.
 
Payment of our obligations of the Note were initially secured by a pledge of and conversion right with respect to 959,000 shares (the “Pledged Shares”) of the Company’s common stock owned by Jianhua Wu, the Company’s chief executive officer and principal beneficial owner of common stock. The pledge and conversion right enables Eos Holdings to convert any or all of the principal amount of the Note into Pledged Shares at any time or from time to time until the Note shall be paid in full or until Eos Holdings shall have exercised the conversion right in full, at an initial conversion price of $.60 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The number of Pledged Shares to be delivered shall be determined by dividing the principal amount of the Note being converted by the Conversion Price, with any fractional shares to be rounded to the nearest whole share. The Pledged Shares shall be held in escrow.
 
On October 23, 2008, pursuant to a restated pledge and conversion right agreement, the number of Pledged Shares was increased to 1,437,500 shares of common stock and the Conversion Price was reduced to $0.40 per share.

40


In connection with the issuance of the Note, on October 17, 2008, we entered into a consulting agreement with Eos Asia Investments Ltd., an affiliate of Eos Holdings, for the provision of consulting services. Pursuant to the consulting agreement, we shall pay consulting fees at a rate of $31,662.50 per month until the Company repays the Note in full or until Eos Holdings LLC exercises its right to receive the Pledged Shares. Assuming the Note is paid on the maturity date of April 20, 2009, the total payments made by us as interest on the $575,000 Note and as consulting fees under the consulting agreement would total $240,000. On November 14, 2008, we repaid the principal balance of $575,000 in full.

During the period from October 23, 2008 through November 7, 2008, we sold an aggregate of 3,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price of $0.40 per share, for an aggregate of $1,360,000.

Certain of the investors had previously signed subscription agreements for the purchase of shares at a price of $0.60 per share. These investors signed a restated subscription agreement that reflected the $0.40 per share purchase price.
 
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
Contractual Obligations
 
We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

The following tables summarize our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2008, and the effects of these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

We have not entered into any other 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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We produce and sell almost all our products in China. Thus, most of our revenues and operating results may be impacted by exchange rate fluctuations between RMB and US dollars. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we has unrealized foreign currency translation gain of $1,679,553, because of the change in the exchange rate.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2008.

Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.

Management conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer. Based on that evaluation, we concluded that because of the significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2007.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act.  Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”).   Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.  In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework.  During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, management identified significant deficiencies related to (i) the U.S. GAAP expertise of our internal accounting staff, (ii) our internal audit functions and, and (iii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions.

Although we were a black check shell company prior to November 13, 2007 with reporting obligations, our present business did not become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act until November 13, 2007.  We began preparing to be in compliance with the internal control obligations, for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. During most of 2007 our internal accounting staff was primarily engaged in ensuring compliance with PRC accounting and reporting requirements for our operating affiliates and was not required to meet or apply U.S. GAAP requirements.  We addressed this condition by hiring of our chief financial officer who is familiar with U.S. GAAP and, under his supervision, we are implanting the related internal control procedures required of U.S. public companies, including providing training and assistance of our accounting staff in U.S. GAAP matters.  We also have elected independent directors and have established an audit committee which meets with management and our independent auditors. Management has determined that our internal audit function is also deficient due to insufficient qualified resources to perform internal audit functions, and we are seeking to address this deficiency.

Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible.  However, to the extent possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals.  

We believe that the foregoing steps have significantly remediated the deficiencies previously reported, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.  

42


A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company's financial reporting.

Our management is not aware of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and we are addressing the significant weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting. Nothing has come to the attention of management that causes them to believe that any material inaccuracies or errors exist in our financial statement as of September 30, 2008.  The reportable conditions and other areas of our internal control over financial reporting identified by us as needing improvement have not resulted in a material restatement of our financial statements. We are not aware of any instance where such reportable conditions or other identified areas of weakness have resulted in a material misstatement of omission in any report we have filed with or submitted to the Commission.   

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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 and procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
