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 shares from former
principal stockholders. 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
Peoples’ 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 Dye Machine Co., Ltd. (“Huayang
Dye Machine”) and Wuxi Huayang Electrical Power Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Huayang
Electrical Power Equipment”, and together with Huayang Dye Machines, 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 Hi Zhong 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.
In
2007,
the Company recapitalized the Company to give effect to the share 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 takeover 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.

ORGANIZATION
AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The
Huayang Companies are considered variable
interest
entities
(“VIE”), and the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company’s relationships
with the Huayang Companies and their shareholders are governed by a series
of
contractual arrangements between Green Power, the Company’s wholly foreign-owned
enterprise in the PRC, and each of the Huayang Companies, which are the
operating companies of the Company in the PRC. 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. On October 12,
2007, the Company entered into the following contractual arrangements with
each
of Huayang Dye Machine and Huayang Electrical Power Equipment:
Consulting
Services Agreement.
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”).

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. The term of this agreement is ten (10) years from October 12, 2007 and
may be extended only upon Green Power’s written confirmation prior to the
expiration of the this agreement, with the extended term to be mutually agreed
upon by the parties.
Equity
Pledge Agreement.
Under
the
equity pledge agreement between the Huayang Companies Shareholders and Green
Power, the Huayang Companies Shareholders pledged all of their equity interests
in the Huayang Companies to Green Power to guarantee the Huayang Companies’
performance of their obligations under the consulting services agreement. If
the
Huayang Companies or the Huayang Companies Shareholders breaches their
respective contractual obligations, Green Power, as pledgee, will be entitled
to
certain rights, including the right to sell the pledged equity interests. the
Huayang Companies Shareholders also agreed that upon occurrence of any event
of
default, Green Power shall be granted an exclusive, irrevocable power of
attorney to take actions in the place and stead of the Huayang Companies
Shareholders to carry out the security provisions of the equity pledge agreement
and take any action and execute any instrument that Green Power may deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of the equity pledge
agreement. The Huayang Companies Shareholders agreed not to dispose of the

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 and warrants.
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 $100,000 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 March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the
Company’s bank deposits by geographic area were as follows:

Accounts

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
March 31, 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 $652,249 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 $77,276 and $74,192 at March 31, 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 three months ended March
31, 2008 and 2007.
Advances
from customers
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 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
three months ended March 31, 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, including 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.
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.

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 three months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007
was $120,480 and $9,311, 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 March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were translated
at
7.0222 RMB to $1.00 USD and at 7.3141 RMB to $1.00 USD, respectively. Equity
accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates
applied to income statements for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007
were 7.17568 RMB and 7.77136 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 common share
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 the common shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt
(using the if-converted method). The following table presents a reconciliation

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No.
159, The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities
(“SFAS
159”). SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material
impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or
liquidity.
In
September 2006, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-1,
Accounting
for Consideration Given by a Service Provider to Manufacturers or Resellers
of
Equipment Necessary for an End-Customer to Receive Service from the Service
Provider (EITF 06-1).
EITF 06-1 provides that consideration provided to the manufacturers or
resellers of specialized equipment should be accounted for as a reduction of
revenue if the consideration provided is in the form of cash and the service
provider directs that such cash be provided directly to the customer. Otherwise,
the consideration should be recorded as an expense. The provisions of
EITF 06-1 are effective on January 1, 2008. The
adoption of EITF 06-1 had no effect on the Company’s financial position or
results of operations.
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. It is expected that adoption of EITF 07-3 will 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.

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

interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount

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

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

(d) Securities
Purchase Agreement
Pursuant
to the purchase agreement, in addition to the issuance of the convertible

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

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 liquidating
damages related to the 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. If the
Company

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

The
Company and the investors entered into a registration rights agreement

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 registration
rights agreement also provides for additional demand registration
rights
in the event that the investors are not able to register all of the
shares
in the initial registration statement.

the
filing is required, after giving effect to any extension permitted

in
escrow shall be delivered to the
Investors.

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

Beneficial
Conversion Feature; Deemed Dividend
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 debenture has 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 debenture was amortized using the
straight-line method over the shorter (1) the term of Debenture, (2) the
conversion of the debenture to common stock and warrants, or (3) upon filing
by
the Company of certificate
of designation
and
automatic conversion of the debenture to the series A preferred stock and
warrants. 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 during
the three months ended March 31, 2008. The non-cash, deemed dividend did not
have an effect on net earnings or cash flows for the three months ended March
31, 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 three months ended March 31, 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 accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The
amortization of debt discounts for the three months ended March 31, 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 secured convertible
debentures 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
secured convertible debentures had a fixed conversion rate of $0.374, the
secured convertible debt was not a derivative instrument. 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.
The
convertible debenture liability is as follows at March 31, 2008 and December

In
May 2007, the Company sold its 33% interest in Boiler to an individual
related to the Company’s chief executive officer for 500,000 RMB or
approximately $65,000. The remaining 67% of Boiler is owned by the
spouse
and son of the Company’s chief executive officer. The amount outstanding
at March 31, 2008 reflects the unpaid receivable from the sale. No
amount
is shown at December 31, 2007, since Boiler’s obligation to the Company

PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued)
Due
to related parties
The
chief
executive officer of the Company and his spouse, from time to time, provided
advances to the Company for operating expenses. At March 31, 2008 and December
31, 2007, the Company did not have any payable to the chief executive officer
and his spouse. These advances were short-term in nature and non-interest
bearing.
Boiler,
from time to time, provided advances to the Company for working capital
purposes. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had a payable
to
Boiler of $0 and $98,541, respectively. These advances were short-term in nature
and non-interest bearing.
Deposits
on long-term assets –related party and other
In
July
2007, the Company agreed to acquire long-term assets from Boiler for an
aggregate price of 89,282,500 RMB or approximately $12,207,000. 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 atrtributable 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 March 31, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, payments totaling 80,086,159 RMB and 79,458,230 RMB or
approxmately $11,405,000 and $10,864,000 had been made to Boiler, respectively,
and are reflected on the accompanying consolidiated balance sheets as Deposits
on Long-term Assets. As of May 13, 2008, the Company has not received title
to
the facilities and land use rights 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 second quarter of 2008
at
which time the deposit on long-term assets will be reclassified to property
and
equipment.
Additionally,
during the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company’s subsidiary, Green
Power made of cash deposit of $750,762 for factory equipment for the new
factory. As of the date of this report, the Company has not received the

– OPERATING
RISK
(a)
Country risk
Currently,
the Company’s revenues are primarily derived from the sale of machinery to
customers in China. A downturn or stagnation in the economic environment of
the
PRC could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial
condition.
(b)
Exchange risk
The
Company cannot guarantee that the current exchange rate will remain steady,
therefore there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount
of
profit for two comparable periods and because of a fluctuating exchange rate
actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of Chinese
Renminbi (RMB) converted to U.S. dollars on that date. The exchange rate could
fluctuate depending on changes in the political and economic environments
without notice.
NOTE

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 three months ended March 31, 2008,

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 three
months ended March 31, 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
design, manufacture and sale of electric power auxiliary apparatuses (including
coking equipment), sewage-treatment equipment and related parts or fittings,
and
the design and sales of rolled rings for use in windmills. 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.
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 the
outstanding common stock of the Company 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 – the manufacturing of dyeing
and finishing equipment and the manufacture of electrical power equipment.
We
market products from these two segments with independent marketing groups to
different customer bases. The dyeing and finishing equipment business has been
the principal source of our revenue and operating income, accounting for 55.1%
of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 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.
26
In
our
electrical power equipment segment, we manufacture specialty equipment used
in
the production of coal generated electricity. In 2007, we commenced the
manufacturing of rolled rings as part of our electrical power equipment segment.
Revenue from our electrical power equipment segment accounted for 44.9% of
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 18.9% of revenues for
the
year ended December 31, 2007. We market the 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.
During
2007, we began to generate revenue from the forging of rolled rings, primarily
for the wind power industry. These activities accounted for 13.5% and 7.8%
of
revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and for the year ended
December 31, 2007, respectively.
In
order
to develop the rolled rings business, we agreed to acquire 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 March 31, 2008, we had paid approximately $11,405,000.
As of
the date of this report, we have not received title to the facilities and land
use rights and the property has not been placed in service. We intend to use
this new facility to manufacture components in our rolled ring operations for
use in the wind power industry. 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.
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 2007 and 2006 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.
27
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.
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.
Intangible
assets
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 with a term of
50
years. Any transfer of the land use right requires government approval. We
have
recorded as an intangible asset the costs paid to acquire a land use right.
The
land use rights are amortized on the straight-line method over the term of
the
50-year term of the land use right.
Intangible
assets are reviewed periodically or more often if circumstances dictate, to
determine whether its 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.
28
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 years ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006, 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 March 31, 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 taxation 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
February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No.
159, The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities
(“SFAS
159”). SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material
impact on our results of operations, financial position or
liquidity.
In
September 2006, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-1,
Accounting
for Consideration Given by a Service Provider to Manufacturers or Resellers
of
Equipment Necessary for an End-Customer to Receive Service from the Service
Provider (EITF 06-1).
EITF 06-1 provides that consideration provided to the manufacturers or
resellers of specialized equipment should be accounted for as a reduction of
revenue if the consideration provided is in the form of cash and the service
provider directs that such cash be provided directly to the customer. Otherwise,
the consideration should be recorded as an expense. The provisions of
EITF 06-1 are effective on January 1, 2008. The
adoption of EITF 06-1 had no effect on our financial position or results of
operations.
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. It is expected that adoption of EITF 07-3 will not have a material
impact on tour 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.

Revenues.
During
the 2008 Period, we had revenues of $8,447,074, as compared to revenues of
$4,129,210 for the 2007 Period, an increase of $4,317,864 or approximately
104.6%. The increase in total revenue was attributable to increases from both
of
our segments. Revenues from our electric power equipment segment increased
from
$250,453 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $3,793,936 for the three
months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $3,543,483, or 1414.8%. This
increase resulted from an increase in revenues from forging services to new
customers of $3,217,702 and an increase in the sale of coking and electric
equipment of $324,781. Forging is a manufacturing process where metal is
pressed, pounded or squeezed under great pressure into high strength parts
including the forging of rolled rings with a three-meter diameter for use in
large-scaled wind-powered electricity generators, which accounted for
approximately $1.14 million or 30% of Electric revenues. Revenues from dyeing
and finishing equipment increased $774,381, or 20%, from $3,878,757 for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 to $4,653,138 for the three months ended
March
31, 2008. This
increase primarily resulted from our marketing efforts to develop new customers.
Revenues to new Dyeing customers accounted for approximately $2.9 million or
64%
of total Dyeing revenues for the 2008 period.
Cost
of sales.
Cost of
sales for the 2008 Period increased $3,210,707 or 104.9%, from $3,062,119 for
the 2007 Period to $6,272,826 for 2008 Period. Cost of goods sold for
Dyeing
was

$1,213,911 for the 2008 Period as compared to $1,000,833 for the 2007 Period,
representing gross margins of approximately 26.1% and 25.8%, respectively.
The

Since
the share exchange in November 2007, we have incurred professional

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.
|
·
|
Travel
expense in 2007 increased by $43,643, or 112.6%, as compared to the
2007

Income
from operations. For
the
2008 Period, income from operations was $1,479,660 as compared to $888,296
for
the 2007 Period, an increase of $591,364 or 66.6%.
Other
income (expenses).
For the
2008 Period, other expense amounted to $2,275,490 as compared to other expenses
of $7,947 for the 2007 Period. In the 2007 Period, other expenses consisted

reversal of accrued interest of $20,719 and ii) amortization of debt issuance
costs of $21,429 and iii) interest income of $5,633.
Income
tax expense.
Income
tax expense increased $155,447 or approximately 52.1% during the first quarter
of 2008 primarily as a result of the increase in taxable income generated by
our
operating entities.
Net
income (loss). For
the
three months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded a net loss of $(1,249,861) as
compared to net income of $581,765 for the 2007 period.
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 $1,007,245 for the 2008 Period as compared to $83,161 for
comparable period in 2007. This non-cash gain had the effect of decreasing
our
reported comprehensive loss.
Comprehensive
income (loss). For
the
2008 period, comprehensive loss of approximately $243,000 is derived from the
sum of our net loss of approximately $1,250,000 less foreign currency
translation gains of $1,007,245.

working capital position increased $4,219,326 to $7,404,601 at March 31, 2008
from working capital of $3,185,275 at December 31, 2007. This increase in
working capital is primarily attributable to the conversion of convertible
debt
of $3,261,339 into shares of our series A preferred stock and warrants and
a

the 2008 Period was mainly due to the decrease in accounts payable of
$1,225,962, an increase in accounts receivable of 1,263,740 and an increase
in
inventories of $1,136,507, which was offset by the add-back of non-cash items
of
depreciation and amortization of $161,846, the amortization of debt discount
of
$2,263,661, the amortization of deferred debt costs of $21,429 and the add-back
of stock-based compensation of $45,000. Net cash flow provided by operating
activities for the 2007 period was mainly due to our net income of $581,765,
a
decrease in inventories of $806,749, and increase in accounts payable of
$487,098, an increase in VAT and services taxes payable of $287,500, an increase
in income taxes payable of $275,060, and the add-back of non-cash items of
depreciation and amortization of $148,861 offset by an increase in accounts
receivable of $1,818,385.
Net
cash
flow used in investing activities was $694,629 for the 2008 Period and compared

and from the sale of our cost-method investee of $34,840 offset by the purchase
of property and equipment of $3,907 and the payment of deposits on long-term
assets of $822,212. For the 2007 Period, we used cash for advances for amounts
due from related parties of $1,009, for the purchase of property and equipment
of $3,337 and the payment of deposits on long-term assets of
$316,319.
Net
cash
flow provided by financing activities was $226,259 for the 2008 Period as
compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $386,033 for the 2007
Period. For the 2008 Period, we received proceeds from short-term bank loans
of
$139,360, and proceeds from the exercise of warrants of $187,340 offset by
the
repayment of related party advances of $100,441. For the 2007 Period, we
received proceeds from short-term bank loans of $386,033.
In
July
2007, in connection with the expansion of our electrical equipment segment
to
develop and market rolled rings and related equipment to the wind power
industry, we agreed to acquire 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 $10,950,000. As of March 31,
2008, the amount was paid in full.
On
November 13, 2007, we raised gross proceeds of $5,525,000 from the sale of
our
3% notes in the principal amount of $5,525,000. On March 28, 2008, the notes
were automatically converted into an
aggregate of 14,787,135 shares of series A preferred stock and 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 of common stock at
$0.92 per share upon the filing of the restated certificate of incorporation
and
a statement of designations setting forth the rights of the holders of the
series A convertible preferred stock.
34
The
purchase agreement pursuant to which we issued the notes includes the following
provisions.
·
|
We
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 that is not an excused reason, this would result in the imposition
of liquidated damages. The investors have agreed to waive through
March
31, 2008 any liquidating damages related to the appointment of independent
directors and the establishment of the committees. In March 2008,
we
elected independent directors and have the required
committees.
|
·
|
We
agreed to have a qualified chief financial officer who may be a part-time
chief financial officer until February 13, 2008. If the Company cannot
hire a qualified chief financial officer promptly upon the resignation
or
termination of employment of a former chief financial officer, the
Company
may engage an accountant or accounting firm to perform the duties
of the
chief financial officer. In
no event shall the Company either (i) fail to file an annual, quarter
or
other report in a timely manner because of the absence of a qualified
chief financial officer, or (ii) not have a person who can make the
statements and sign the certifications required to be filed in an
annual
or quarterly report under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
|
·
|
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

share, at
the election of the investors.

We
and the investors entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant
to
which we 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 we cannot register all of the required
shares
as a result of the SEC’s interpretation of Rule 415. The registration
rights agreement also provides for additional demand registration
rights
in the event that the investors are not able to register all of the
shares
in the initial registration statement. We
filed a registration on February 14, 2008 and the registration statement
has not been declared effective as of the date of this report.
However,
pursuant to FASB Staff Position, or FSP, EITF 00-19-2, Accounting
for Registration Payment Arrangements,
we
have determined that it is unlikely that circumstances allowing for
the
aforementioned liquidated damages would arise, and therefore no contingent
liability has been recorded.
|
·
|
The
Investors have a right of first refusal on future
financings.
|
·
|
Until
the earlier of November 13, 2011 or such time as the Investors shall
have
sold all of the underlying shares of common stock, we are restricted
from
issuing convertible debt or preferred
stock.
|
·
|
Until
the earlier of November 13, 2010 or such time as the Investors have
sold
90% of the underlying shares of common stock, our debt cannot exceed
twice
the preceding four quarters earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization.
|
·
|
Our
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.

We
paid Barron Partners $30,000 for its due diligence
expenses.

We
entered into an escrow agreement pursuant to which we issued our
3%
convertible promissory note due March 31, 2008 in the principal amount
of
$3,000,000, which is in addition to the notes in the principal amount
of
$5,525,000 which were issued to the investors. Upon the filing of
the
restated certificate of incorporation and the certificate of designation
relating to the Series A preferred stock, this note automatically
converted into 24,787,135 shares of Series A preferred stock. The
series A
preferred stock are held in escrow subject to the
following.
|
o
|
14,787,135
shares are held pursuant to the following provisions. If, for either
the
year ended December 31, 2007 or 2008, our 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. If, for either year, 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. The
target
number for 2007 was met and there were no deliveries from
escrow.
|
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. Based on the formula in the agreement,
there is no adjustment for 2007.
|
o
|
If
we do not file our Form 10-KSB 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 or 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 covered by this
covenant, as a result of which there was no delivery from escrow
with
respect to 2007.
|
·
|
With
certain exceptions, until the investors have sold all of the underlying
shares of common stock, if we sell common stock or issues convertible
securities with a conversion or exercise price which is less than
the
conversion price of the Series A preferred stock and the exercise
price of
the warrants is reduced to the lower
price.
|
The
warrants have a term of five years, and expire on November 13, 2012. The
warrants provide a cashless exercise feature; however, the holders of the
warrants may not make a cashless exercise during the twelve months commencing
on
November 13, 2007 in the case of the $0.58 warrants, and during the 18 month
period commencing on November 13, 2007 in the case of the $0.83 warrants and
$0.92 warrants, and after these respective periods only if the underlying shares
are not covered by an effective registration statement.

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

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 three months ended March 31, 2008, we has unrealized
foreign currency translation gain of $1,007,245, because of the change in the
exchange rate.
As
required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including
Jianhua
Wu, our
Chief Executive Officer, and Adam Wasserman, our Chief Financial Officer,
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls
and procedures
as of December 31, 2007.
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.
37
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, Messrs. Wu and Wasserman 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 March 31, 2008.
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.
The
Company became a reporting company in November 2007. We began preparing to
be in compliance with the internal control obligations, including Section 404,
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. As a result, with the
exception of certain additional persons hired at the end of 2007 to address
these deficiencies, including the hiring of our chief financial officer, our
current internal accounting department responsible for financial reporting
of
the Company, on a consolidated basis, is relatively new to U.S. GAAP and the
related internal control procedures
required of U.S. public companies. Although our accounting staff is professional
and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures
generally accepted in the PRC, management has determined that they require
additional training and assistance in U.S. GAAP matters. Management has
determined that our internal audit function is also significantly deficient
due
to insufficient qualified resources to perform internal audit functions.
Finally, management determined that the lack of an Audit Committee of the
board of directors of the Company also contributed to insufficient oversight
of
our accounting and audit functions.
In
order
to correct the foregoing deficiencies, we have taken the following remediation
measures:
(i)
·
|
In
late 2007, we engaged Adam Wasserman, a senior financial executive
from
the U.S. to serve as our Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Wasserman has
extensive experience in internal control and U.S. GAAP reporting
compliance, and together with our chief executive officer will oversee
and
manage our the financial reporting process and required training
of the
accounting staff.
|
·
|
We
have committed to the establishment of effective internal audit functions,
however, due to the scarcity of qualified candidates with extensive
experience in U.S. GAAP reporting and accounting in the region, we
were
not able to hire sufficient internal audit resources before end of
2007.
However, we will increase our search for qualified candidates with
assistance from recruiters and through
referrals.
|
·
|
On
March 28, 2008, we elected an independent director to serve on an
audit
committee and we have set up a compensation committee to be headed
by one
of our independent directors. On April 28, 2008, we hired an additional
director who will serve on the audit
committee.
|
·
|
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 will remediate the significant deficiency
identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these
steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.
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.
38
Our
management is not aware of any material weaknesses in our internal control
over
financial reporting, and 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 March 31, 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
Except
as
described above, there were no changes in our internal controls
over financial reporting during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 that
have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
PART
