NOTES TO
UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30,
2010
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. Through its affiliated companies and subsidiaries, the Company
manufactures and sells high precision forged rolled rings and related products
for the wind power industry and other industries. The Company also
makes textile dyeing and finishing machines. The Company previously
manufactured electric power auxiliary apparatuses (including coking
equipment). In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company ceased the
production of electric power auxiliary apparatuses and sold its remaining units.
The Company is the sole owner of Fulland Limited, a Cayman Island limited
liability company, which was organized on May 9, 2007. Fulland owns
100% of the capital stock of Green Power Environment Technology (Shanghai) Co.,
Ltd. (“Green Power”) and Wuxi Fulland Wind Energy Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Fulland
Wind Energy”), which are wholly foreign-owned enterprises (“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
Electrical Power Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Electrical”) and Wuxi Huayang Dyeing
Machinery Co., Ltd. (“Dyeing”), both of which are limited liability companies
organized under the laws of, and based in, the PRC. Electrical
and Dyeing are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Huayang
Companies.”
Fulland
was organized 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 Fulland as a
special purpose vehicle for any foreign ownership and capital raising activities
by the Huayang Companies.
Electric
was formed on May 21, 2004, and Fulland Wind Energy was formed on August 27,
2008. Beginning in April 2007, Electric began to produce large-scaled
forged rolled rings that are up to three meters in diameter for the wind-power
and other industries. In 2009, the Company began to produce and sell
forged products through Fulland Wind Energy. Fulland Wind Energy manufactures
forged rolled rings in the Company’s new facilities. The Company
refers to this segment of its business as the forged rolled rings and related
products division. The Company’s electric power equipment business
was also included in this division prior to its discontinuation.
Dyeing,
which was formed on August 17, 1995, produces and sells a variety of high and
low temperature dyeing and finishing machinery. The Company refers to
this segment as the dyeing division.
Basis of presentation;
management’s responsibility for preparation of financial
statements
Management
acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying interim
consolidated financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair
statement of its consolidated financial position and the results of its
operations for the interim period presented.

CHINA
WIND SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30,
2010
NOTE 1 –
ORGANIZATION AND
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary
of significant accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial
statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report for the year ended
December 31, 2009.
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for China
Wind Systems, Inc., its subsidiaries and variable interest entities, have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (the “U.S.”) for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Operating
results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may
be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Fulland, Greenpower and Fulland Wind Energy, as
well as the financial statements of Huayang Companies, Dyeing and
Electric. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
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 entity 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”). 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, 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, agree to pledge their accounts
receivable and all of their assets to Green Power. Moreover, each of the Huayang
Companies agrees that, without the prior consent of Green Power, it will not

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 respective obligations under the consulting
services agreement. If the Huayang Companies or the Huayang Companies’
shareholders breach 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 pledged equity interests or take any actions that would prejudice
Green Power’s interest. The equity pledge agreement will expire two years after
the Huayang Companies’ obligations under the consulting services agreements have
been fulfilled.
The
accounts of the Huayang Companies are consolidated in the accompanying financial
statements. As VIEs, 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 requires
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 2010 and 2009 include the allowance
for doubtful accounts, the allowance for obsolete inventory, the useful life of
property and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing
impairment of long-term assets and valuation of deferred tax assets, accruals
for taxes due, the calculation of the value of any beneficial conversion feature
related to convertible debt and preferred stock, and the value of warrants
granted upon the conversion of debt to preferred stock.
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
U.S. Balances in the U.S are insured up to $250,000 at each
bank. Balances in banks in the PRC are uninsured.

Fair value of financial
instruments
The
Company adopted the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820
for fair value measurements which 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
carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets 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. The Company did not identify any
assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the consolidated
balance sheets at fair value in accordance with the accounting
guidance.
ASC
825-10 “Financial
Instruments,” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain
financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair
value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is
irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is
elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument
should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company
did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding
instruments.
Concentrations of credit
risk
The
Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the
political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state
of the PRC's economy. The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to
specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with
companies in North America. The Company's results may be adversely affected by
changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations,
anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates
and methods of taxation, among other things.
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 PRC,
and 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 June 30,
2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company’s cash balances by geographic area were

Notes
receivable represents trade accounts receivable due from various customers where
the customers’ bank has guaranteed the payment of the receivable. This amount is
non-interest bearing and is normally paid within three to six
months. Historically, the Company has experienced no losses on
notes receivable. The Company‘s notes receivable totaled $192,404 and $329,492
at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
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, a
customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current
economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at
collection. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company has established,
based on a review of its outstanding balances, an allowance for doubtful
accounts in the amount of $985,471 and $758,096, 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 $161,307 and $160,632 at June 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, respectively.
Advances to
suppliers
Advances
to suppliers represent the cash paid in advance for purchasing of inventory
items from suppliers. The advance payments are meant to ensure preferential
pricing and delivery. The amounts advanced under such arrangements totaled
$378,857 and $450,507 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009,
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.
Included
in property and equipment is construction-in-progress which consisted of
factories and office buildings under construction and machinery pending
installation and includes the costs of construction, machinery and equipment,
and any interest charges arising from borrowings used to finance these assets
during the period of construction or installation. No provision for depreciation
is made on construction-in-progress until such time as the relevant assets are
completed and ready for their intended use. Property purchased from a related
party is recorded at the cost to the related party and any payment to or on
behalf of the related party in excess of the cost is reflected as a distribution
to related party.

Impairment of long-lived
assets
In
accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least
annually. 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 record any
impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
Advances from
customers
Advances
from customers at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 amounted to $321,755
and $143,261, respectively, and consist of prepayments from customers for
merchandise that had not yet been shipped. The Company will recognize the
deposits as revenue as customers take delivery of the goods, in accordance with
its revenue recognition policy.
Revenue
recognition
Pursuant
to the guidance of ASC Topic 605 and ASC Topic 360, 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 other components, 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. Grant income is recognized when funds
have been received and all significant terms of the grant have been fulfilled by
the Company. Warranty revenue is valued based on estimated service person
hours to complete a service and generally is recognized over the contract
period. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, 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.
Income
taxes
The
Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China and
the United States. The Company accounts for income taxes using the
liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which
the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation
allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available
evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax
rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment
date.

Income taxes
(continued)
Pursuant
to accounting standards related to the accounting for uncertainty in income
taxes, the evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is
to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be
sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or
litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to
measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to
determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A
tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than
50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that
previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should
be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met.
Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not
criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting
period in which the threshold is no longer met. The accounting standard also
provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and
transition.
Stock-based
compensation
Stock
based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based
Payment topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements
of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award
of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to
perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting
period). The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards
Codification (”ASC”) also requires measurement of the cost of employee and
director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair
value of the award.
Pursuant
to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other
third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The
expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the
measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains
uncertain. The Company records compensation expense based on the fair value of
the award at the reporting date. The awards to consultants and other
third-parties are then revalued, or the total compensation is recalculated based
on the then current fair value, at each subsequent reporting date.
Shipping
costs
Shipping
costs are included in selling expenses and totaled $693,424 and $99,704 for the
six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Employee
benefits
The
Company’s operations and employees are all located in the PRC. The
Company makes mandatory contributions to the PRC government’s health, retirement
benefit and unemployment funds in accordance with the relevant Chinese social
security laws, equal to approximately 25% of salaries. The costs of these
payments are charged to income in the same period as the related salary costs
and are not material.
Advertising
Advertising
is expensed as incurred and is included in selling, general and administrative
expenses on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and was not
material.
Research and
development
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred. For the six months ended June

Foreign currency
translation
The
reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of
the parent company is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the
Company’s operating subsidiaries is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). For the
subsidiaries and affiliates whose functional currencies are the 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. As
a result, amounts relating to assets and liabilities reported on the statements
of cash flows may not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding
balances on the balance sheets. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $5,024 and $585,
respectively. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into
the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction
dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance
sheet date with any 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.
All of
the Company’s revenue transactions are transacted in the functional currency.
The Company does not enter any material transaction in foreign currencies and,
accordingly, transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to
have, a material effect on the results of operations of the
Company.
Asset and
liability accounts at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were translated at
6.8086 RMB to $1.00 and at 6.8372 RMB to $1.00, respectively, which were the
exchange rates on the balance sheet dates. Equity accounts were stated at their
historical rate. The average translation rates applied to the statements of
income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were 6.83475 RMB and
6,84323 RMB to $1.00, respectively. 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 sheets.
Reverse stock
split
The
Company effected a one-for-three reverse stock split on September 22,
2009. All share and per share information has been retroactively
adjusted to reflect the reverse split.
Income per share of common
stock
ASC 260
“Earnings Per Share,”
requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with
a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation
to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS
excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur
if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that
then shared in the earnings of the entity.
Basic net
income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common
shareholders 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 preferred stock (using the if-converted
method) and common stock warrants (using the treasury stock method). The
following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income per
share:

For

Recent accounting
pronouncements
In
October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue
Arrangements.” This ASU establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for
arrangements including multiple revenue-generating activities. This ASU provides
amendments to the criteria for separating deliverables, measuring and allocating
arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The amendments in
this ASU also establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling
price of a deliverable. Significantly enhanced disclosures are also required to
provide information about a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements,
including information about the nature and terms, significant deliverables, and
its performance within arrangements. The amendments also require providing
information about the significant judgments made and changes to those judgments
and about how the application of the relative selling-price method affects the
timing or amount of revenue recognition. The amendments in this ASU are
effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially
modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early
application is permitted. The adoption of this new ASU is not expected to have
any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In
October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, “Certain Revenue Arrangements
That Include Software Elements.” This ASU changes the accounting model for
revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements
that are “essential to the functionality,” and scopes these products out of
current software revenue guidance. The new guidance will include factors to help
companies determine what software elements are considered “essential to the
functionality.” The amendments will now subject software-enabled products to
other revenue guidance and disclosure requirements, such as guidance surrounding
revenue arrangements with multiple-deliverables. The amendments in this ASU are
effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially
modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early
application is permitted. The adoption of this new ASU is not expected to have
any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In
November 2009, the FASB issued an ASU regarding accounting for stock dividends,
including distributions to shareholders with components of stock and cash. This
ASU clarifies that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that
contains components of cash and stock and allows shareholders to select their
preferred form of the distribution (with a limit on the amount of cash that will
be distributed in total) should be considered a stock dividend and included in
EPS calculations as a share issuance. The adoption of this guidance did not
have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

entity. An approach that is expected to be primarily qualitative will be more
effective for identifying which reporting entity has a controlling
financial interest in a variable interest entity. The amendments in this Update
also require additional disclosures about a reporting entity’s involvement in
variable interest entities, which will enhance the information provided to users
of financial statements. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01- Accounting for Distributions to
Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. The amendments in this Update
clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows
them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total
amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is
considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a
stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings
Per Share). The amendments in this update are effective for interim and
annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a
retrospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 – Accounting and Reporting for
Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary – a Scope Clarification. The amendments
in this Update affect accounting and reporting by an entity that experiences a
decrease in ownership in a subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity.
The amendments also affect accounting and reporting by an entity that exchanges
a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for an
equity interest in another entity. The amendments in this update are
effective beginning in the period that an entity adopts SFAS No. 160,
“Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment
of ARB No. 51.” If an entity has previously adopted SFAS No. 160 as of the
date the amendments in this update are included in the Accounting Standards
Codification, the amendments in this update are effective beginning in the first
interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The
amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to the first period
that an entity adopted SFAS No. 160. The adoption of this ASU did not have any
material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair
Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 requires additional disclosures about fair
value measurements including transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and a higher
level of disaggregation for the different types of financial
instruments. For the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements,
information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements are presented
separately. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2009 with the exception of revised
Level 3 disclosure requirements which are effective for interim and annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. Comparative
disclosures are not required in the year of adoption. The Company adopted the
provisions of the standard on January 1, 2010, which did not have a
material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Recent accounting
pronouncements (continued)
In
February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855):
Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This
amendment addresses both the interaction of the requirements of this Topic with
the SEC’s reporting requirements and the intended breadth of the reissuance
disclosure provision related to subsequent events (paragraph
855-10-50-4). All of the amendments in this Update are effective upon
issuance of the final Update, except for the use of the issued date for conduit
debt obligors. That amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending
after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this ASU did not have an
important impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In March 2010, the FASB
issued ASU 2010-11, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related
to Embedded Credit Derivatives. The amendments in this Update are
effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter
beginning after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted at the
beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after issuance of this
Update. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-11 to
have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash
flows of the Company.
In April 2010, the FASB
issued ASU 2010-13, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of
Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency
of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades - a consensus of
the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. The amendments in this Update
are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Earlier application is
permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-13
to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or
cash flows of the Company.
In May
2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-19, Foreign Currency (Topic 830): Foreign
Currency Issues: Multiple Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. The
amendments in this Update are effective as of the announcement date of March 18,
2010. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on the
financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the
Company.
Other
accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not
require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact
on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

EQUITY
(a) Common
stock
On
January 31, 2010, the Company issued 1,500 shares of common stock to its Chief
Financial Officer for services rendered and will be rendered pursuant to an
employment agreement. The shares were valued at fair value on the date of grant
and the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $7,226 and prepaid expense
of $424.
On
February 10, 2010, the Company issued 28,000 shares of common stock to its Chief

The shares were valued at fair value on the date of grant and the Company
recorded stock-based compensation of $276,480.
The
Company has a consulting agreement with a company that provides the services of
its vice president of financial reporting. Pursuant to this
agreement, the Company issued 2,000 shares of common stock on March 31, 2010 and
June 30, 2010 for an aggregate of 4,000 shares of common stock. The
shares were valued at fair value on the date of grant and the Company recorded
stock-based compensation of $9,660 for the March 31, 2010 issuance and $8.940

and 2,380,176 shares of its series A preferred stock to investors upon the
exercise of warrants, for which the Company received cash proceeds of

of series A preferred stock, the investor entered into an agreement with the
Company’s chief executive officer, who is the Company’s principal beneficial
owner of common stock, pursuant to which the chief executive officer has the
right to vote the series A preferred stock and the underlying common stock as to

affiliate of the investor, the voting agreement terminates as to the transferred
shares and the chief executive officer has no voting rights with respect to the
transferred shares. The investor had executed similar agreements in

the series A preferred stock, in the event that the Company issues stock at a
price which is less than the conversion price of the series A preferred stock;
and the warrant holder agreed to delete from the warrants the provisions that
provide for a reduction in the exercise price of the warrants in the event that
the Company issues stock at a price which is less than the exercise price of the
warrants. The Company agreed not to issue shares of Common Stock at a price, or
options, warrants or convertible securities with an exercise or conversion
price, that is less than the conversion price of the then outstanding series A
preferred stock or the exercise price of the then outstanding warrants, as the
case may be. Accordingly, the Company did not record a derivative
liability related to the warrants at December 31, 2009.

On March
23, 2009, the Company sold to two investors, for $250,000, its 18-month, 15%
notes in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000 and five-year warrants
purchasing 145,833 shares at an exercise price of $1.20 per
share. These warrants were treated as a discount on the secured notes
and were valued at $92,985 to be amortized over the 18-month note term. The fair
value of these warrants was estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted-average
assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 137.51%;
risk-free interest rate of 1.69% and an expected holding period of five
years. The Company repaid the notes in full in February 2010 and fully
amortized the balance of the debt discount in February 2010. For the
six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, amortization of debt discount to
interest expense was $44,993 and $16,997, respectively.

incentive and non-qualified options and stock grants to employees, including
officers, directors and consultants. The plan is to be administered by a
committee of not less than three directors, each of whom is to be an independent
director. In the absence of a committee, the plan is administered by
the board of directors. Members of the committee are not eligible
for stock options or stock grants pursuant to the plan unless such stock options
or stock grant are granted by a majority of the Company’s independent directors
other than the proposed grantee. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had
issued a total of 65,500 shares of common stock, for which it expensed
compensation in the amount of $345,386.

INCOME
TAXES
The
Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the accounting standards that
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. Additionally,
the accounting standards require 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 2010
and 2009, under the Income Tax Laws of PRC, Chinese companies are generally
subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 25% on income reported in the
statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. The Company’s
VIEs (Dyeing and Electric) and the Company’s subsidiary, Fulland Wind Energy,
are subject to these statutory rates. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary,
Fulland Limited was incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Under the current laws
of the Cayman Islands, this entity is not subject to income taxes.

SEGMENT
INFORMATION
For the
three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company operated in two
reportable business segments - (1) the manufacture of dyeing and finishing
equipment and (2) the manufacture of forged rolled rings and related components
for the wind power and other industries and, in the three and six months ended
June 30, 2009, electric power auxiliary apparatuses (including coking equipment)
although no revenue was generated from and no expenses were incurred in
connection with the electric power auxiliary equipment business, which was
discontinued in the fourth quarter of 2009. The Company's reportable segments
are strategic business units that offer different products. They are managed
separately based on the fundamental differences in their
operations. All of the Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC.

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 PRC (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. Prior to December 31, 2009,
the Company appropriated the required maximum 50% of its registered capital to
statutory reserves for Dyeing and Electric.

RESTRICTED NET
ASSETS
Regulations
in the PRC permit payments of dividends by the Company’s PRC VIEs only out of
their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting
standards and regulations. Subject to certain cumulative limit, a statutory
reserve fund requires annual appropriations of at least 10% of after-tax profit,
if any, of the relevant PRC VIE’s and subsidiary. The statutory reserve funds
are not distributable as cash dividends. As a result of these PRC laws and
regulations, the Company’s PRC VIE’s and subsidiary are restricted in their
abilities to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company. Foreign
exchange and other regulation in PRC may further restrict the Company’s PRC VIEs
and subsidiary from transferring funds to the Company in the form of loans
and/or advances.
As of
June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, substantially all of the Company’s net
assets are attributable to the PRC VIE’s and subsidiary. Accordingly, the
Company’s restricted net assets were approximately $59,843,000 and $51,652,000,
respectively.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Overview
We are
engaged in two business segments – the forged rolled rings and other components
segment, in which we manufacture and sell high precision forged rolled rings,
shafts, flanges, and other forged components for the wind power and other
industries, and the dyeing and finishing equipment segment, in which we
manufacture and sell textile dyeing and finishing machines.
Through
our forged rolled rings and other related products division, we supply precision
forged rolled rings and other forged components to the wind industry.
These components are used in wind turbines, which are used to generate wind
power. The government of the PRC has announced its desire to expand
significantly its goal for installed wind energy capacity. We began to
manufacture shafts and forged rolled rings for gear rims, flanges and other
applications in our new 108,000 square foot manufacturing facility which became
operational in March 2009.
We
produce precision forgings using axial close-die forging technology, which is a
new technology for producing rotary precision forgings, using forging equipment
which we manufactured for our own use. The axial close-die forging technology
reduces the use of raw materials by as much as 35%, provides a high precision
and surface flatness, reduces the cutting output, has excellent mechanical
strength and high flexibility, and is a fully automatic operation. We believe
that our forging capabilities will continue to increase as we implement our
expansion plans.
In
October 2009, we ordered the initial machinery to expand our completed
state-of-the-art forged product facility with a new production line, enabling us
to manufacture electro-slag re-melted forged products for the high performance
components market of the wind power industry. We believe that electro-slag
re-melted forged products will be important components in the next generation of
larger wind turbines, which will require stronger steel alloy precision forged
components than the smaller turbines. Electro-slag re-melted technology is
used to increase the durability and quality of steel and to blend specific
alloys that are required to meet the anticipated strength requirements of the
next generation of wind turbines. We delivered the initial units from this
production line in July2010.
In
addition to the wind industry, we sell our forged rolled rings and other forged
components in other industries, including heavy machinery manufacturing,
petrochemical, metallurgical, sea port machinery, defense and radar
manufacturing industries, which use our forged rolled rings railway as
components in the manufacture of equipment.
The
forged rolled rings segment has become a more significant percentage of our
total revenues since we expanded 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. Our rolled rings are essentially
hollow cylindrical sections forged from a stainless steel stock piece with
varying thickness and height; the rings are created from the forging process.
Forging is a manufacturing process where metal is pressed, pounded or squeezed
under great pressure into high strength parts. Rolled ring forging turns a
hollow round piece of metal under extreme pressure against a rotating roller,
thereby squeezing out a single-piece ring without any welding required. We
believe that there is a market for our rolled rings in the wind power industry.
Through this division, which was formerly known as the forged rolled ring and
electric power equipment division, until the end of 2009, we designed,
manufactured and sold both standard and custom auxiliary equipment used to
improve and promote efficient coal use at both coking and power plants. In the
fourth quarter of 2009, we sold our remaining units of auxiliary electrical
equipment and we no longer produce these products.
Prior to
2009, the manufacturing of textile dyeing and finishing machines was our
principal source of revenue. We have changed our focus to the manufacture of
forged rolled rings, shafts, gear rims and yaw bearings in order to meet the
growing demands of China’s wind energy industry. We believe that there is
a shortage of wind components in China’s wind energy supply chain. The shortage
is caused by the lack of forged products including rolled rings, shafts, and
gear rims which are used in the gearbox, and rolled rings used in yaw
bearings.

In 2007,
we purchased property from an affiliated company for a net price of
approximately $10,950,000. The property consists of an approximately 100,000
square foot factory, land use rights, employee housing facilities and other
leasehold improvements. We are using this facility to manufacture forged
rolled rings and related products for use in the wind power and other
industries. With our expanded facilities designed to accommodate the
manufacture of rolled rings with larger diameters, we plan to develop products
designed to meet the needs of 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.
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
including wind power industries, is uncertain. Although we believe that
over the long term, the wind power segment will expand, and the government of
the PRC has announced its desire to increase the use of wind power as an energy
source, 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.
A major
element of our cost of revenues is raw materials, principally steel and other
metals. These metals are subject to price fluctuations, and recently these
fluctuations have been significant. In times of increasing prices, we need
to try to fix the price at which we purchase 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. Three major suppliers provided
approximately 61% of our purchases of raw materials for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 primarily consisting of steel for the forged rolled rings and
related components segment. No supplier provided more than 10% of the Company’s
purchases of raw materials for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We
continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts,
inventories, recovery of long-lived assets, income taxes, and the valuation of
equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on
various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause
a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies
affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of
the financial statements
28
Variable
Interest Entities
Pursuant
to Accounting Standards Codification, we are required to include in our
consolidated financial statements the financial statements of variable interest
entities (“VIEs”). The accounting standards require a VIE to be
consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk
of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual
returns. VIEs 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 VIEs, 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 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. As VIEs, the Huayang Companies sales are included in our total
sales, their income from operations is consolidated with ours, and our net
income includes all of the Huayang Companies’ net income, and their assets and
liabilities are included in our consolidated balance sheet. The VIEs do not have
any non-controlling interest and accordingly, we 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 the Huayang Companies financial statements with our financial
statements.
Accounts
receivable
We have a
policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on our best estimate of the
amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts
receivable. We periodically review our accounts receivable to
determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due
accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account
may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are
charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and
the potential for recovery is considered remote.
As a
basis for accurately estimating the likelihood of collection has been
established, we consider a number of factors when determining reserves for
uncollectable accounts. We believe that we use a reasonably
reliable methodology to estimate the collectability of our accounts receivable.
We review our allowances for doubtful accounts on at least a quarterly basis. We
also consider whether the historical economic conditions are comparable to
current economic conditions. If the financial condition of our customers or
other parties that we have business relations with were to deteriorate,
resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional
allowances may be required.
Inventories
Inventories,
consisting of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, 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 additional reserves for
the difference between the cost and the market value. These reserves are
recorded based on estimates. We review inventory quantities on hand
and on order and record, on a quarterly basis, a provision for excess and
obsolete inventory, if necessary. If the results of the review determine that a
write-down is necessary, we recognize a loss in the period in which the loss is
identified, whether or not the inventory is retained. Our inventory reserves
establish a new cost basis for inventory and are not reversed until we sell or
dispose of the related inventory. Such provisions are established based on
historical usage, adjusted for known changes in demands for such products, or
the estimated forecast of product demand and production
requirements.
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
|
29
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.
Included
in property and equipment is construction-in-progress which consists of
factories and office buildings under construction and machinery pending
installation and includes the costs of construction, machinery and equipment,
and any interest charges arising from borrowings used to finance these assets
during the period of construction or installation. No provision for depreciation
is made on construction-in-progress until such time as the relevant assets are
completed and ready for their intended use.
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 with a term of 45
or 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 land use right terms.
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 six months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009, 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 forged rolled rings, 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. We incurred minimal
research and development expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2010 and
2009. Product development expenses 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.

Income
taxes
We are
governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC and the United States. Income taxes
are accounted for pursuant to accounting standards, 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.
Deemed
preferred stock dividend
When we
issue shares of convertible preferred stock at a price that is, on an “as if
converted” basis, less than the market price of the underlying shares of common
stock, the difference between the value of the underlying shares of common stock
and the purchase price of the convertible preferred stock is treated as a deemed
preferred stock dividend.
Stock-based
compensation
Stock
based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based
Payment topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements
of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award
of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to
perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting
period). The Accounting Standards Codification also requires measurement of the
cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based
on the grant-date fair value of the award.
Pursuant
to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other
third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The
expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the
measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains
uncertain. The Company records compensation expense based on the fair value of
the award at the reporting date. The awards to consultants and other
third-parties are then revalued, or the total compensation is recalculated based
on the then current fair value, at each subsequent reporting date.
Recent
accounting pronouncements
In
October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue
Arrangements.” This ASU establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for
arrangements including multiple revenue-generating activities. This ASU provides
amendments to the criteria for separating deliverables, measuring and allocating
arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The amendments in
this ASU also establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling
price of a deliverable. Significantly enhanced disclosures are also required to
provide information about a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements,
including information about the nature and terms, significant deliverables, and
its performance within arrangements. The amendments also require providing
information about the significant judgments made and changes to those judgments
and about how the application of the relative selling-price method affects the
timing or amount of revenue recognition. The amendments in this ASU are
effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially
modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early
application is permitted. The adoption of this new ASU is not expected to have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
31
In
October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, “Certain Revenue Arrangements
That Include Software Elements.” This ASU changes the accounting model for
revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements
that are “essential to the functionality,” and scopes these products out of
current software revenue guidance. The new guidance will include factors to help
companies determine what software elements are considered “essential to the
functionality.” The amendments will now subject software-enabled products to
other revenue guidance and disclosure requirements, such as guidance surrounding
revenue arrangements with multiple-deliverables. The amendments in this ASU are
effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially
modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early
application is permitted. The adoption of this new ASU is not expected to have
any material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
November 2009, the FASB issued an ASU regarding accounting for stock dividends,
including distributions to shareholders with components of stock and cash. This
ASU clarifies that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that
contains components of cash and stock and allows shareholders to select their
preferred form of the distribution (with a limit on the amount of cash that will
be distributed in total) should be considered a stock dividend and included in
EPS calculations as a share issuance. The adoption of this guidance did not
have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-17, Improvements to Financial
Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. This
Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification
for the issuance of FASB Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R). The amendments in this Accounting Standards Update replace the
quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which reporting
entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest
entity with an approach focused on identifying which reporting entity has the
power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most
significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (1) the obligation to
absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the
entity. An approach that is expected to be primarily qualitative will be more
effective for identifying which reporting entity has a controlling
financial interest in a variable interest entity. The amendments in this Update
also require additional disclosures about a reporting entity’s involvement in
variable interest entities, which will enhance the information provided to users
of financial statements. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01- Accounting for Distributions to
Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. The amendments in this Update
clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows
them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total
amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is
considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a
stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings
Per Share). The amendments in this update are effective for interim and
annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a
retrospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on
our consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 – Accounting and Reporting for
Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary – a Scope Clarification. The amendments
in this Update affect accounting and reporting by an entity that experiences a
decrease in ownership in a subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity.
The amendments also affect accounting and reporting by an entity that exchanges
a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for an
equity interest in another entity. The amendments in this update are
effective beginning in the period that an entity adopts SFAS No. 160,
“Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment
of ARB No. 51.” If an entity has previously adopted SFAS No. 160 as of the
date the amendments in this update are included in the Accounting Standards
Codification, the amendments in this update are effective beginning in the first
interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The
amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to the first period
that an entity adopted SFAS No. 160. The adoption of this ASU did not have any
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair
Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 requires additional disclosures about fair
value measurements including transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and a higher
level of disaggregation for the different types of financial
instruments. For the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements,
information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements are presented
separately. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2009 with the exception of revised
Level 3 disclosure requirements which are effective for interim and annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. Comparative
disclosures are not required in the year of adoption. The Company adopted the
provisions of the standard on January 1, 2010, which did not have a
material impact on our financial statements.
32
In
February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855):
Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This
amendment addresses both the interaction of the requirements of this Topic with
the SEC’s reporting requirements and the intended breadth of the reissuance
disclosure provision related to subsequent events (paragraph
855-10-50-4). All of the amendments in this Update are effective upon
issuance of the final Update, except for the use of the issued date for conduit
debt obligors. That amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending
after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this ASU did not have an
important impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2010, the FASB
issued ASU 2010-11, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related
to Embedded Credit Derivatives. The amendments in this Update are
effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter
beginning after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted at the
beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after issuance of this
Update. We do not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-11 to have a
material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In April 2010, the FASB
issued ASU 2010-13, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of
Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency
of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades - a consensus of
the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. The amendments in this Update
are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Earlier application is
permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-13
to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or
cash flows of the Company.
In May
2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-19, Foreign Currency (Topic 830): Foreign
Currency Issues: Multiple Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. The
amendments in this Update are effective as of the announcement date of March 18,
2010. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other
accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not
require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact
on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Currency
Exchange Rates
All of
our sales are denominated in RMB. As a result, changes in the relative values of
U.S. dollars and RMB affect our reported levels of revenues and profitability as
the results of our operations are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting
purposes. In particular, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could have a
significant impact on our financial stability due to a mismatch among various
foreign currency-denominated sales and costs. Fluctuations in exchange rates
between the U.S. dollar and RMB affect our gross and net profit margins and
could result in foreign exchange and operating losses.
Our
exposure to foreign exchange risk primarily relates to currency gains or losses
resulting from timing differences between signing of sales contracts and
settling of these contracts. Furthermore, we translate monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in other currencies into RMB, the functional currency of
our operating subsidiaries. Our results of operations and cash flow are
translated at average exchange rates during the year, and assets and liabilities
are translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by the Peoples’ Bank of
China at the end of the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this
process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in our statement
of shareholders’ equity. We have not used any forward contracts, currency
options or borrowings to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.
We cannot predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our results
of operations and may incur net foreign currency losses in the future. As our
sales denominated in foreign currencies, such as RMB, continue to grow, we will
consider using arrangements to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange
risk.
Our
financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars and the functional
currency of our parent company is U.S. dollars. The functional currency of our
operating subsidiaries and affiliates is RMB. To the extent we hold
assets denominated in U.S. dollars, any appreciation of the RMB against the
U.S. dollar could result in a charge in our statement of operations and a
reduction in the value of our U.S. dollar denominated assets. On the other
hand, a decline in the value of RMB against the U.S. dollar could reduce
the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of our financial results, which may have
a material adverse effect on the price of our stock.

$21,445,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $14,373,000,
or 67.0%. The increase in revenue was attributable to the increases in revenue
from both our forged rolled rings and our dyeing and finishing equipment
segments, and is summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

The
increase in revenues from the sale of dyeing and finishing equipment was
primarily attributable to the effects of the policy of the PRC government to
encouragement the development of the textile industry as the Chinese economy
improved. In the 2009 period, due to the financial crisis, we experienced a
decline in demand for our dyeing and finishing equipment. During the 2010
period, we have seen a steady increase in orders and we expect demand to remain
steady.
Revenues
from forging of rolled rings and related products totaled $25,600,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2010, with revenues from the wind power industry
amounting to $16,134,000 and revenues from other forging operations amounting to
$9,466,000. Due to the deliberate shift in focus of our sales effort
to the wind segment, we increased sales of forged rolled rings to the wind power
industry by 153.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2009. We also experienced a 22.1% increase in forging
revenues from other industries, such as the railway, heavy machinery
manufacturing, petrochemical, metallurgical, sea port machinery, and defense and
radar industries. During 2010, we have been able to secure new
customers though our marketing efforts.
Cost of revenues. Cost of
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased $9,680,000 or 57.8%,
from $16,744,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $26,424,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2010. Cost of revenues for Dyeing was $8,128,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $5,737,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2009. Cost of revenues related to the manufacture of forged
rolled rings and related products was $18,296,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2010 as compared to $11,007,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2009.
Gross profit and gross
margin. Our gross profit was $9,394,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2010 as compared to $4,701,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009,
representing gross margins of 26.2% and 21.9%, respectively. Gross profit for
Dyeing was $2,090,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to
$1,590,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, representing gross margins of
approximately 20.5% and 21.7%, respectively. The decrease in our gross margin
for Dyeing was attributable to a reduction of our sales price due to stronger
competition in the textile industry in China. Gross profit from
forged rolled rings and related products segment was $7,304,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $3,112,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2009, representing gross margins of approximately 28.5% and 22.0%,
respectively. The increase in our gross margin was mainly attributed to
operational efficiencies from the increase in our production in the first half
of fiscal 2010 as compared to the comparable period of 2009. We believe that our
gross margins will improve to the extent that we are able to utilize our factory
capacity more efficiently.
35
Depreciation. Depreciation
was $1,201,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and $697,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2009, of which $1,040,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2010 and $536,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 is included in cost
of revenues and $161,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and $161,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 is included in operating expenses. The
overall increase in depreciation is attributable to an increase in our
depreciable production equipment, primarily relating to our forged rolled rings
and other related products segment. We expect depreciation to
increase in future periods, as we install and place in service new equipment and
facilities related to our new production line for electro-slag re-melted forged
products.
Selling, general and administrative
expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $2,296,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $1,010,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $1,286,000 or approximately 127.3%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses consisted of the following (dollars

Professional
fees decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2010 by $53,000, as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease is primarily
attributed to a decrease in accounting expense of approximately $74,000
related to a change in the method of accruing for our auditing
fees. In the 2009 period, we expensed the 2008 auditing fees
reflecting the period in which the services were performed. In order to
reflect the audit and review fees in the period in which the services
relate to, in December 2009, we accrued the entire 2009 auditing
fee. Accordingly, accounting fees for the six months ended June
30, 2010 only reflects the fee for our quarterly reviews. The
decrease in professional fees also reflected a decrease in investor
relations expenses of approximately $33,000 offset by an increase in legal
fees of approximately $14,000, an increase in stock transfer fees of
approximately $14,000 and an increase in consulting expenses of
approximately $26,000.

·
|
Bad
debt expense increased for the six months ended June 30, 2010 by $79,000.
Based on our periodic review of accounts receivable balances, we adjusted
the allowance for doubtful accounts after considering management’s
evaluation of the collectability of individual receivable balances,
including the analysis of subsequent collections, the customers’
collection history, and recent economic
events.

Payroll
and related benefits increased for the six months ended June 30, 2010 by
$492,000, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase
was mainly attributable to an increase in stock-based and other
compensation for our management of approximately $337,000 and an increase
in compensation and related benefits of approximately $165,000 in our
forged rolled rings and related products segment resulting from increased
operations offset by a decrease in compensation and related benefits of
approximately $10,000 in our dyeing and finishing
segment.

Travel
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased by $95,000, as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase is primarily
related to an increase in travel for investor road shows and
conferences.

|
Shipping
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased by $593,000, as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. For the six months ended
June 30, 2009, we charged partial shipping fees to our customers while,
for the six months ended June 30, 2010, we paid the related shipping fees
for our customers. Therefore, our selling expense was substantially
increased. For customers that we have absorbed shipping costs, we
negotiated a higher selling price with these customers to offset the
shipping costs, which also had a modest positive effect upon our gross
margins.

·
|
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $80,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared with the six months ended June
30, 2009. The increase was primarily attributed to an increase in
advertising expense of approximately $12,000 and an increase in
entertainment expenses of approximately $13,000 and other miscellaneous
expenses of approximately $55,000.

Income tax expense. Income
tax expense totaled $1,918,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as
compared to $1,038,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of
$880,000, or approximately 84.8%, which was primarily attributable to the
increase in taxable income generated by our operating entities.
Net income. As a result
of the foregoing, our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was
$4,970,000, or $0.29 per share (basic) and $0.20 per share
(diluted). Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was
$2,427,000, or $0.16 per share (basic) and $0.12 per share
(diluted).
Foreign currency translation gain.
The functional currency of our subsidiaries and variable interest
entities 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 and were minimal. As a result of
unrealized foreign currency translations, which are a non-cash adjustment, we
reported a foreign currency translation gain of $216,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $45,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2009. This non-cash gain had the effect of increasing our reported comprehensive
income.
Comprehensive income. As a
result of our unrealized foreign currency translation gains, we had
comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $5,186,000,
compared with $2,471,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Three
Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
Revenues. For the three
months ended June 30, 2010, we had revenues of $18,977,000, as compared to
revenues of $13,584,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of
approximately 39.7%. The increase in total revenue was attributable to the
increases in revenue from forged rolled rings related to wind power industry and
revenue from dyeing and finishing equipment, offset by the decrease in revenue
from forged rolled rings related to other industries and is summarized as
follows (dollars in thousands):

The
increase in revenues from the sale of dyeing and finishing equipment was
primarily attributable to the effects of the policy of the PRC government to
encouragement the development of the textile industry as the Chinese economy
improved as discussed above.
Revenues
from forging of rolled rings totaled $13,752,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2010, with revenues from the wind power industry amounting to $9,181,000 and
revenues from other forging operations amounting to $4,571,000. Due
to the deliberate shift in focus of our sales effort to the wind segment, we
increased sales of forged rolled rings to the wind power industry by 152.1% for
the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30,
2009. We also experienced a 25.6% decrease in forging revenues from other
industries, such as the railway, heavy machinery manufacturing, petrochemical,
metallurgical, sea port machinery, and defense and radar industries. The
decrease in forging revenues from other industries was mainly attributable to
the timing of shipments to our customers during the quarterly periods. Overall,
for the six months ended June 30, 2010, we had an increase in revenues in
forging from other industries of 22.1%.
Cost of revenues. Cost of
revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased $3,521,000 or 33.6%,
from $10,479,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $14,000,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2010. Cost of goods sold for Dyeing was $4,144,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $2,959,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2009. Cost of revenues related to the manufacture of
forged rolled rings and related products was $9,856,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $7,520,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2009.
Gross profit and gross
margin. Our gross profit was $4,977,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2010 as compared to $3,105,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009,
representing gross margins of 26.2% and 22.9%, respectively. Gross profit for
Dyeing was $1,081,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to
$838,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, representing gross margins of
approximately 20.7% and 22.1%, respectively. The decrease in our gross margin
for Dyeing was attributable to a reduction of our sales price due to
stronger competition in the textile industry in China. Gross profit
from forged rolled rings and related products segment was $3,896,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $2,267,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2009, representing gross margins of approximately 28.3% and
23.2%, respectively. The increase in our gross margin was mainly attributed to
operational efficiencies from the increase in our production in the second
quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2009.
We believe that our gross margins will improve to the extent that we are able to
utilize our factory capacity more efficiently.
38
Depreciation. Depreciation
was $616,000 and $522,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively, of which $538,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and
$439,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 is included in cost of
revenues and $78,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $83,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2009 is included in operating expenses. The
overall increase in depreciation is attributable to an increase in our
depreciable production equipment, primarily relating to our forged rolled rings
and other related products.
Selling, general and administrative
expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $895,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $509,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $386,000 or approximately 75.7%.

Our
working capital increased $199,000 to $4,940,000 at June 30, 2010 from working
capital of $4,741,000 at December 31, 2009. This increase in working capital is
primarily attributable to an increase in accounts receivable, net of allowance
for doubtful accounts, of $605,000, an increase in inventories, net of reserve
for obsolete inventory, of $1,236,000 attributable to the purchase of steel
forged rolled rings and other related products division and for our new
production line to manufacture electro-slag re-melted forged products for the
high performance components market of the wind power industry which we began
manufacturing in July 2010, an increase in prepaid VAT taxes on purchases of
$333,000, a decrease in loans payable of $1,012,000 due to the repayment of
certain loans, a decrease in accrued expenses of $203,000 offset by a decrease
in cash and cash equivalents of $898,000, a decrease in notes receivable of
$137,000, a decrease in advances to suppliers of $72,000, a decrease in prepaid
expenses and other current assets of $147,000, an increase in accounts payable
of $1,667,000, an increase in VAT and service taxes payable of $56,000, an
increase in advances from customers of $178,000 and an increase in income taxes
payable of $34,000.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2010, we used cash of approximately $8,000,000 for
the construction of and equipment for our new electro-slag re-melted production
line. In early July 2010, the Company incurred minimal costs to
complete the installation of the new production line and all construction in
progress was transferred to its respective property and equipment
account.
41
We plan
to add an additional electro-slag re-melted production line. We are currently
preparing a budget in connection with this plan which would require us to
construct or purchase a new factory and to purchase equipment. In the
near term, in response to growing demand for our forged products for the wind
industry, we plan to add an additional small-scale production line to complement
our current forging facility and support strong order flow. The estimated cost
of this small-scale production line is $1,200,000. We may not have sufficient
working capital to fund this expansion as well as providing working capital
necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. We will need to raise
additional capital to complete this project. We may seek to raise additional
capital through the sale of equity securities. At this time, we have no
commitments or plans to obtain additional capital.
Net cash
flow provided by operating activities was $6,539,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 as compared to net cash flow provided by operating activities of
$2,024,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $4,515,000.
Net cash flow provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
2010 was mainly due to net income of $4,970,000 and the add-back of non-cash
items such as depreciation of $1,201,000, the amortization of debt
discount to interest expense of $45,000, the amortization of land use rights of
$43,000, the increase in allowance for doubtful accounts of $223,000,
and stock-based compensation of $345,000, and changes in operating assets and
liabilities such as a decrease in notes receivable of $138,000, a decrease
in prepaid and other current assets of $147,000, a decrease in advances to
suppliers of $73,000, an increase in accounts payable of $1,647,000, an increase
in VAT and service taxes payable of $55,000, an increase in income taxes payable
of $30,000 and an increase in advances from customers of $177,000, offset by an
increase in accounts receivable of $800,000, an increase in inventories of
$1,222,000, an increase in prepaid value-added taxes on purchases of $330,00 and
a decrease in accrued expenses of $204,000. Net cash flow provided by operating
activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was mainly due to net income
of $2,427,000, the add-back of non-cash items of depreciation of $697,000, the
amortization of debt discount of $17,000, the amortization of land use rights of
$43,000, the increase in our allowance for bad debt of $143,000, the
add-back of interest expense of $128,000 resulting from the issuance

Net cash
flow used in investing activities was $7,980,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2010 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $2,849,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we
purchased property and equipment of $7,980,000. For the six months ended June
30, 2009, we used cash to purchase of property and equipment of $2,849,000.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we acquired property and equipment in
connection with our expansion into a new production line, enabling us to
manufacture electro-slag re-melted forged products for the high performance
components market of the wind power industry. We believe that electro-slag
re-melted forged products will be important components in the next generation of
larger wind turbines, which will require stronger steel alloy precision forged
components than the smaller turbines.
Net cash
flow provided by financing activities was $538,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2010 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1,217,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010,
we received $1,600,000 from the exercise of warrants offset by the repayment of
loans payable of $1,062,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we received
proceeds from loans of $1,134,000 and proceeds from the exercise of warrants of
$83,000.
Contractual
Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
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 June 30, 2010
(dollars in thousands), and the effect these obligations are expected to have on
our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

Bank
indebtedness consists of short term bank loans. Historically, we have
refinanced these bank loans for an additional term of one year and we
expect to refinance these loans upon
expiration.

Off-balance
Sheet Arrangements
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.
Foreign
Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We
produce and sell almost all of 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, we had
unrealized foreign currency translation gain of $216,083, because of the change
in the exchange rate.
ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK.
Not
required for smaller reporting companies.
Our
management, including Jianhua Wu, our chief executive officer, and Teresa Zhang,
our chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30,
2010.
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, our management, including Mr. Wu and Miss Zhang,
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 June 30, 2010.

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”) on an annual basis. As previously reported on our
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, management identified
significant deficiencies related to (i) the U.S. GAAP expertise of our internal
accounting staff, (ii) our internal audit functions and (iii) a lack of
segregation of duties within accounting functions.
In order
to correct the foregoing deficiencies, we have taken the following remediation
measures:
|
·
|
Our
chief financial officer Teresa Zhang and Adam Wasserman, our vice
president of financial reporting have extensive experience in
internal control and U.S. GAAP reporting compliance, and, together with
our chief executive officer oversees and manages our financial reporting
process and the 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 second
quarter of 2010. However, we will increase our search for qualified
candidates with assistance from recruiters and through
referrals.
|
|
·
|
We
elected two independent directors and they, along with a third
independent director, serve on our audit committee. We have
also adopted a charter for our 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.
|
Changes
in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the
period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
