BUSINESS ORGANIZATION |
TEC Technology, Inc. (formerly known as Highland Ridge, Inc., Sea Green, Inc., Americom Networks Corp. and Americom Networks International, Inc.) was incorporated on July 22, 1988 in the State of Delaware, United States of America. (the Company or TEC Holding). On June 9, 2010, the Company changed its name from Highland Ridge, Inc. to TEC Technology, Inc. | |
On May 4, 2010, the Company completed a reverse acquisition transaction pursuant to a share exchange agreement among the Company, TEC Technology Limited, a Hong Kong limited company (TECT) and TECTs sole stockholder, Mr. Hua Peng Phillip Wong, whereby the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of TECT in exchange for 19,194,421 shares of the Companys common stock, which constituted 63.6% of the Companys issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after the consummation of reverse acquisition. As a result of the acquisition of TECT, the Company now owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of TECT, which in turn owns Anhui TEC Tower Co., Ltd. (ATEC); and Shuncheng Taida Technology Co., Ltd. (STT). ATEC currently owns 90% of Zhejiang TEC Tower Co., Ltd. (ZTEC). For accounting purposes, the share exchange transaction with TECT was treated as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization of TECT, with TECT as the acquirer and TEC US as the acquired party. Upon completion of the exchange, TECT became a wholly owned subsidiary of TEC US. On the same date, Mr. Chun Lu, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of TEC US, entered into an option agreement with TECT and Mr. Hua Peng Phillip Wong, the Companys controlling stockholder, pursuant to which Mr. Lu was granted an option to acquire 17,797,372 shares of the Companys common stock currently owned by Mr. Wong for an aggregate exercise price of $1,000,000. Mr. Lu may exercise this option, in whole but not in part, during the period commencing on the 365th day following of the date of the option agreement and ending on the second anniversary of the date thereof. | |
TECT was organized as a private corporation, under the Companies Laws of the Hong Kong on November 11, 2009. It was principally established to serve as an investment holding company and its operations are carried out in Hong Kong. On February 22, 2010, TECT entered into an equity transfer agreement with Mr. Chun Lu, the sole shareholder of ATEC. The transfer was approved by the Department of Commerce of Anhui Province on March 2, 2010. This business combination was accounted for as entities under common control because the majority shareholders of TECT and ATEC were the same person. | |
ATEC is a private corporation, incorporated under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) on July 3, 2007. ATECs principal activities are the development and manufacturing of mobile communication steel towers, microwave towers, angle steel towers, steel pipe towers and transmission cable towers. | |
ZTEC was established on December 7, 2009 as a PRC limited company with ATEC owning 90% of equity interest and Ms. Yiping Zhu, an individual, owning the remaining 10% equity interest. ZTECs production facility is still under construction and it has not yet commenced operations. ZTECs main business will include the development and manufacturing of mobile communication steel towers, microwave towers, angle steel towers, steel pipe towers and transmission cable towers. | |
STT was incorporated in the PRC on January 20, 2010. STT has not commenced operations and its main business will include engineering consultancy and design of mobile communication steel towers, microwave towers, angle steel towers, steel pipe towers and transmission cable towers. As a result of the reverse acquisition of TECT, the Company entered into new businesses. The Company is primarily engaged, through its indirect Chinese subsidiaries, in the design, production and sale of transmission towers and related products used in high voltage electric power transmission and wireless communications. |

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION (CONTINUED) | |
On May 4, 2010, the Company completed a reverse acquisition transaction pursuant to a share exchange agreement among the Company, TECT and TECTs sole stockholder, Mr. Hua Peng Phillip Wong, whereby the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of TECT in exchange for 19,194,421 shares of the Companys common stock, which constituted 63.6% of the Companys issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after the consummation of reverse acquisition. As a result of the acquisition of TECT, the Company now owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of TECT, which in turn owns ATEC and STT. ATEC owns 90% equity interest in ZTEC. For accounting purposes, the share exchange transaction with TECT was treated as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization of TECT, with TECT as the acquirer and TEC US as the acquired party. | ||
Upon completion of the share exchange, TECT became a wholly owned subsidiary of TEC US. On the same date, Mr. Chun Lu, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of TEC US, entered into an option agreement with TECT and Mr. Hua Peng Phillip Wong, the Companys controlling stockholder, pursuant to which Mr. Lu was granted an option to acquire 17,797,372 shares the Companys common stock owned by Mr. Wong for an aggregate exercise price of $1,000,000. Mr. Lu may exercise this option, in whole but not in part, during the period commencing on the 365 th day following of the date of the option agreement and ending on the second anniversary of the date thereof. | ||
Prior to the acquisition of ATEC by TECT, neither TECT nor TEC US had active business operations. For reporting purposes, the Company has assumed that Mr. Lu has exercised his option immediately and thus TEC US, TECT and ATEC were effectively under common control of Mr. Lu when the Company acquired ATEC. The acquisition transactions between (i) TEC US and TECT and (ii) TECT and ATEC are therefore accounted for as reverse mergers. | ||
For accounting purposes, the combination of the company and TECT was accounted for as a reverse merger with ATEC as the accounting acquirer and TEC US and TECT as the accounting acquiree and the acquisition of ZTEC and STT was accounted for under the acquisition method with TECT as the immediate parent corporation of both companies for legal purposes and the Company as the ultimate parent corporation. Accordingly the Companys financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis for the periods presented and the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income, stockholders equity and cash flows were presented as if the recapitalization had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented and the operations of the accounting acquired party from the date of share exchange transaction. | ||
TEC US, TECT, ATEC, ZTEC and STT are hereafter collectively referred to as the Company. | ||
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this interim report should be read in conjunction with the information included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. | ||
2.4 |
USE OF ESTIMATES | |
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. | ||
2.5 |
ECONOMIC, POLITICAL AND BUSINESS 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 and Western Europe. 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. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) | |
2.6 |
REVENUE RECOGNITION | |
The Companys revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 605. Sales revenue is recognized when all of the following have occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured. These criteria are generally satisfied at the time of shipment when risk of loss and title passes to the customer. For international sales, the revenue recognition criteria are generally satisfied under Free on Board (FOB) and Cost Insurance Freight (CIF) terms, in which the Companys responsibility ends once the goods clear the port of shipment. | ||
Technical consulting service income is recognized when the relevant service is rendered. | ||
Government grants represent local authority grants to the company for infrastructure development and the revenue is recognized on cash basis when the local authority approves the grant to the company. | ||
The Company recognizes revenue when the goods are delivered and title has passed. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). All of the Companys products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 17% of the gross sales price or at a rate approved by the Chinese local government. This VAT liability may be offset by the VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing their finished product. | ||
2.7 |
SHIPPING AND HANDLING | |
Shipping and handling costs related to costs of goods sold are included in cost of sales and selling and marketing expenses which totaled $212,124 and $282,189 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Shipping and handling costs amounted to $577,229 and $567,990 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. | ||
2.8 |
ADVERTISING | |
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $6,915 and $1,206 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $6,918 and $3,788 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. | ||
2.9 |
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS | |
Research and development costs include costs incurred to develop new products and are charged to operations when incurred. These costs totaled $0 as incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The costs for development of new products and substantial enhancements to existing products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time any additional costs would be capitalized. | ||
2.10 |
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS | |
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within three months when acquired. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) | |
2.11 |
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME | |
The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollars ($). The functional currency of the Company is United States Dollars ($) and the functional currency of its subsidiaries ATEC, ZTEC, STT and TECT is Chinese Renminbi (RMB). | ||
For those entities whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollars, all assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; shareholders equity is translated at historical rates and items in the statements of income and of cash flows are translated at the average rate for the period. Because cash flows are translated based on the average translation rate, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported in the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances in the balance sheet. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders equity. 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. | ||
Foreign currency translation gain included in accumulated other comprehensive income amounted to $1,133,747 as of September 30, 2011 and $683,041 as of December 31, 2010. The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were translated at RMB6.40 to $1.00 and RMB6.61 to $1.00, respectively. The average translation rates applied to the statements of income and of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 were RMB6.51 to $1.00 and RMB6.80 to $1.00, respectively. | ||
2.12 |
BUSINESS COMBINATION | |
The Company adopted the accounting pronouncements relating to business combinations (primarily contained in ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations), including assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies. These pronouncements established principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquire as well as provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. In addition, these pronouncements eliminate the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the initial recognition and measurement criteria and require an acquirer to develop a systematic and rational basis for subsequently measuring and accounting for acquired contingencies depending on their nature. Our adoption of these pronouncements will have an impact on the manner in which we account for any future acquisitions. | ||
2.13 |
NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST IN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | |
The Company adopted the accounting pronouncement on non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This guidance is primarily contained in ASC Topic Consolidation. The adoption of this standard has not had material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT | |
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. . | ||
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. |
Assets Classifications | Estimated useful life | |
Buildings | 50 years | |
Plant and machinery | 5 years | |
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment | 5 years | |
Motor vehicles | 5 years |
An item of property and equipment is removed from the accounts upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the sale or disposal of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the statements of income in the period the item is sold or otherwise disposed. Maintenance and repairs of property and equipment are charged to operations when incurred. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas major betterments are capitalized as additions to property and equipment. The Company reviews its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of certain assets might not be recoverable. In these instances, the Company recognizes an impairment loss when it is probable that the estimated cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset. To date, no such impairment losses have been recorded. | ||
2.15 |
LAND USE RIGHTS | |
Land use rights represent acquisition of land use rights of industrial land from local government and are amortized on the straight line over their respective lease periods. The lease period of agriculture land is 50 years. | ||
2.16 |
CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS | |
Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction as well as acquisition and design fees incurred. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to property, plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until construction is completed and the asset is ready for its intended use. | ||
2.17 |
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS | |
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived assets, including intangibles, for impairment, each reporting period. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is considered not recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flow. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company determined no impairment charges were necessary. |

CAPITALIZED INTERNAL-USE SOFTWARE | |
The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred to purchase or create internal-use software in accordance with ASC Topic 350-40, Internal Use Software. To date, such costs have included external direct costs of materials and services incurred in the implementation of internal-use software and are included within computer hardware and software. Once the capitalization criteria have been met, such costs are classified as software and are amortized on a straight-line basis over five years once the software has been put into use. Subsequent additions, modifications, or upgrades to internal-use software are capitalized only to the extent that they allow the software to perform a task it previously did not perform. Software maintenance and training costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. | ||
2.19 |
INVENTORY | |
Inventory consists primarily of raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods. Raw materials are stated at cost. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable direct labor costs and applicable overhead costs that have been incurred in bringing the inventory to its present location and condition. Finished goods are stated at the lower of cost (determined on first in first out method) and net realizable value. | ||
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. | ||
The Company provides for inventory losses based on obsolescence and levels in excess of forecasted demand In these cases, inventory is reduced to estimated realizable value based on historical usage and expected demand. Inherent in the Companys estimates of market value in determining inventory valuation are estimates related to economic trends, future demand for the Companys products, and technical obsolescence of products. | ||
2.20 |
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE | |
The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are primarily on a specific identification basis. | ||
The standard credit period of the Companys most of clients is three months. Management evaluates the collectability of the receivables at least quarterly. The estimated average collection period was 90 days as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. | ||
2.21 | INCOME TAXES | |
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Topic ASC 740 Accounting for Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted taxes rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. |
||
Provision for income taxes consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Since the Company had no operations within the United States there is no provision for US income taxes and there are no deferred tax amounts as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. |
||
Deferred income taxes are calculated at the 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 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 relate 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. |

INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) | |
The provision for income tax 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 at 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 probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. | ||
Deferred income taxes are calculated at the 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 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 relate 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. | ||
Topic ASC 740 also prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statements recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. Topic ASC 740 also provide guidance related to, among other things, classification, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and disclosure requirements. Any interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded in tax expense. | ||

EARNINGS PER SHARE | |
As prescribed in ASC Topic 260 Earning per Share, Basic Earnings per Share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year plus potential dilutive instruments such as stock options and warrants. The effect of stock options on diluted EPS is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase the Companys common stock at the average market price during the period. | ||
For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, basic and diluted earnings per share amount to $0.05 and $0.03, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, basic and diluted earnings per share amount to $0.06 and $0.13, respectively. | ||

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | |
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Paragraph 820-10-35-37) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below: | ||
Level 1 Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. | ||
Level 2 Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting. | ||
Level 3 Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |

INCOME TAXES |
No provision for income taxes in the United States has been made as the Company has no income taxable in the United States. | |
No Hong Kong corporate income tax has been provided in the financial statements, as TECT did not have any assessable profits for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. | |
Beginning January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax (EIT) law replaced the existing laws for Domestic Enterprises (DEs) and Foreign Invested Enterprises (FIEs). The new standard EIT rate of 25% replaced the 33% rate currently applicable to both DEs and FIEs. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the new EIT will have on its financial condition. Beginning January 1, 2008, China unified the corporate income tax rule on foreign invested enterprises and domestic enterprises. The unified corporate income tax rate is 25%. | |
Provision for income tax of the companys subsidiary ATEC was made at the unified EIT rate of 25% for the year ended December 31, 2010 but ATEC is entitled to a refund of 10% according to local preferential tax policy for manufacturing of high technology products for the three years from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2013. Therefore, the provision for income tax of the companys subsidiary ATEC was made at the local preferential EIT rate of 15% for the year ended December 31, 2010. | |

STOCK OPTIONS & WARRANTS |
The Company accounts for its stock options and warrants in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation Stock Compensation and ASC Topic 505-50 Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees which were adopted by the Company on June 15, 2010. The company issued a warrant to CCG Investor Relations Partners LLC (CCG), an investor relations firm, for the purchase of 80,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The warrant vested in four equal installations on June 30 , September 30, December 31 of 2010 and March 31, 2011. The warrant will expire on June 15, 2015. | |
The Company determines the estimated fair value of share-based awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model is affected by the Companys stock price as well as by assumptions regarding certain complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to; the Companys expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards and the actual and projected option exercise behaviors. The Company calculated a stock based compensation of $93,800 and recognized $93,800 in stock based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the prepaid compensation expense amount was $0 and $31,600, respectively. | |
The initial value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes model using the following assumptions: |
. | Expected volatility of 125% | |
. | Risk-free interest rate of 3% | |
. | Year to maturity of 5 years | |
. | Market price at issuance date of $3.50 | |
. | Strike price of $2.00 |
The value of the warrants was based on the Companys common stock price of $3.50 on the date the warrants were issued. The warrants were valued at $186,000 when they vested in four equal installations on June 30 , September 30, December 31 of 2010 and March 31, 2011. |

Overview of our Business
We are primarily engaged in the design, production and sale of transmission towers and related products used in high voltage electric power transmission and wireless communications. We sell our tower products to prime contractors on large transmission projects for electric utility companies or telecommunications service providers, who are developing and constructing projects for end customers. Our electric transmission towers currently support 35kv, 110kv, 220kv, and 500kv transmission lines and we plan to build towers that support Ultra High Voltage (UHV) tower lines of 750+kv DC or 1000+kv AC transmission lines. Our wireless communication towers include single-tube towers, 4-strut towers and roof top towers for the 2G, 3G, and microwave market. We plan to expand our business in the near future to enter the communication base station system integration market and to offer tower installation and maintenance services. Our towers are primarily made of steel, but some contain aluminum or other alloy materials.
2
Our revenues currently are, and historically have been, generated from the sale of our tower products. In the future, we expect to offer installation and technical services that we believe will generate an additional revenue stream; however, we have not yet generated material revenues from such services.
Our headquarters are located in Anhui Province in southeastern China and our international sales network is primarily operated from our branch offices in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and Beijing.

Revenues. Our revenues are mainly generated from sales of our tower products. Our revenues increased $4.08 million, or 55.96%, to $11.36 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $7.29 million during the same period in 2010. For the three month period ended September 30, 2011, approximately 81.34% of our revenues were generated from sales to customers in the energy industry and approximately 18.19% were generated from sales to communications industry customers. The period-over-period increase in revenues resulted mainly from an increase of approximately 87.87% in revenues generated by sales of energy transmission towers as compared to the same period in 2010 which more than offset a decrease of approximately 18.79% in revenues generated by sales of communications towers. In this quarter, we benefited from our strategic efforts in expanding international markets as generated approximately $7.4 million from overseas orders for energy transmission towers.
3
Cost of goods sold. Our cost of goods sold includes the direct costs of our raw materials, primarily steel, as well as the cost of labor and overhead. Our cost of goods sold increased $1.01 million, or 18.88%, to $8.42 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $5.36 million during the same period in 2010. We believe the dollar increase in cost of goods sold was generally in line with the increase in sales volume and revenues. As a percentage of revenues, our cost of goods sold increased slightly to 74.08% in the three months ended September 30, 2011 from 73.51% for the same period last year.
Gross profit and gross margin. Our gross profit is equal to the difference between our revenue and our cost of goods sold. Our gross profit increased $1.01 million, or 52.61%, to $2.94 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $1.93 million during the same period in 2010. The dollar increase was mainly due to the increase of sales volume and revenues. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross margin) was 25.92% and 26.49% for three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Although our overseas orders generally had higher gross margins, gross margins for our domestic orders remained constrained due to continuing increases of steel prices, which is our primary raw material, and market competition.
Selling and marketing expenses. Our selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits to our sales and marketing staff, sales commission, cost of advertising, promotion, business travel, after-sale support, transportation costs and other sales related costs. Our selling and marketing expenses increased $0.10 million, or 30.09%, to $0.44 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $0.34 million during the same period in 2010. Such increase was largely attributable to increased sales volume and our continuing marketing efforts.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits to our general management, finance and administrative staff, professional advisor fees, bad debts reserve and other expenses incurred in connection with general operations. Our general and administrative expenses increased $0.09 million, or 31.03%, to $0.38 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $0.29 million during the same period in 2010. Such increase was mainly attributable to increased labor costs.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased $0.16 million, or 55.33%, to $0.46 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $0.30 million during the same period in 2010. Such increase was mainly due to the increase in our outstanding short term loans and annual interest rate.
Income before income taxes. Our income before income taxes increased $0.66 million, or 64.96%, to $1.67 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $1.01 million during the same period in 2010, as a result of the factors described above.

Net income. We generated a net income of $1.41 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $0.55 million, or 63.95%, from $0.86 million during the same period in 2010, as a cumulative effect of all factors discussed above.

Revenues. Our revenues decreased $2.33 million, or 10.64%, to $19.56 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $21.89 million during the same period in 2010. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, approximately 60.71% of our revenues were generated from sales to customers in the energy industry and approximately 38.96% were generated from sales to communications industry customers. The decrease was mainly concentrated in the first half of 2011 and mostly resulted for lower sales volume. Revenues generated by sales of energy transmission towers and sales of communications towers decreased approximately 2.76% and 21.26% as compared to the same period in 2010, respectively.
Cost of goods sold. Our cost of goods sold decreased $1.11 million, or 7.25%, to $14.20 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $15.31 million during the same period in 2010. The decrease in cost of goods sold was mainly due to the decrease in sales volume and revenues in the first two quarters of 2011. As a percentage of revenues, our cost of goods sold increased to 72.61% in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from 69.9% for the same period last year, mainly because the price of steel increased. We are closely monitoring our pricing policy in an effort to reduce the risk of inflation and fluctuations of raw material prices.
Gross profit and gross margin. Our gross profit decreased $1.22 million, or 18.58%, to $5.36 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $6.58 million during the same period in 2010. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease of sales revenues in the first two quarters of 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross margin) was 27.39% and 30.1% for nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in gross margin was mainly due to the increased price of steel as discussed above.
Selling and marketing expenses. Our selling and marketing expenses decreased $0.06 million, or 5.53%, to $1.07 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $1.13 million during the same period in 2010. Such decrease was largely attributable to reduced operations in our sales and marketing department in the first two quarters of 2011.
General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased $0.33 million, or 35.11%, to $1.30 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $0.94 million during the same period in 2010. Such increase was primarily attributable to expenses associated with being a public company and increased labor costs.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased $0.55 million, or 48.67%, to $1.13 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $0.98 million during the same period in 2010. Such increase was mainly due to the increase in our outstanding short term loans and annual interest rate.
Income before income taxes. Our income before income taxes decreased $1.62 million, or 43.42%, to $2.11 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $3.74 million during the same period in 2010, as a result of the factors described above.

Provision for income taxes. Our income tax provisions decreased $0.20 million, or 37.03%, to $0.34 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $0.54 million during the same period in 2010, mainly due to decrease in taxable income in the first two quarters of 2011.
Net income. We generated a net income of $1.78 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $1.42 million, or 44.37%, from $3.20 million during the same period in 2010, as a cumulative effect of all factors discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.38 million, primarily consisting of cash on hand and demand deposits. The following table provides a summary of our net cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $5.55 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $1.70 million net cash provided by operating activities for the same period in 2010. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the cash outflow associated with increased accounts payables and decreased net income in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Due to the tightening of lending policy in China, some of our suppliers required shorter payment terms.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $4.18 million, as compared to $0.66 million during the same period in 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we invested approximately $2.18 million in the form of an installment payment for land use right and approximately $1.78 million for construction of our Zhejiang facilities and Anhui administration office, and upgrade of production facilities.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $9.90 million, as compared to $1.06 million net cash used in financing activities for the same period in 2010. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to increased net short term borrowings.

Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $4.18 million and $0.66 million, respectively, representing the total amount of investment activities.
To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations, augmented by short-term bank loans and equity contributions by our stockholders. We believe that our cash on hand and cash flow from operations will meet a portion of our present cash needs and we will require additional cash resources to meet our expected capital expenditures and working capital requirements for the next 12 months. We may, however, in the future, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our marketing efforts and increase brand awareness, or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.
Inflation
Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business, and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future. However, our management will closely monitor price changes in the Chinese economy and our industry and continually maintain effective cost controls in operations.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to an investment in our securities.
Seasonality
Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have been subject to seasonal variations. Our revenues usually increase over each quarter of the calendar year with the first quarter usually the slowest quarter because fewer projects are undertaken during and around the Chinese spring festival.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are those we believe are most important to portraying our financial conditions and results of operations and also require the greatest amount of subjective or complex judgments by management. Judgments and uncertainties regarding the application of these policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under various conditions or using different assumptions. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements (ASU 2011-03), intended to improve financial reporting of repurchase agreements and refocus the assessment of effective control on a transferors contractual rights and obligations rather than practical ability to perform those rights and obligations. The guidance in ASU 2011-03 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011.The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-03 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) on fair value measurement. A variety of measures are included in the update intended to either clarify existing fair value measurement requirements, change particular principles requirements for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of requirements, the FASB does not intend to change the application of existing requirements under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and early application is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact adoption of ASU 2011-04 and does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), intended to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of accounting guidance in this area with that of the IASB. The amendments require that all non-owner changes in stockholders equity be presented in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Amendments under ASU 2011-05 for public entities should be applied retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning December 15, 2011. The Company is evaluating the impact adoption of ASU 2011-05 and does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). 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 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.
As required by Rule 13a-15(e), our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Chun Lu, and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Yuhua Yang, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of September 30, 2011. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, Messrs. Lu and Yang, determined that, because of the material weaknesses described in Item 9A Controls and Procedures of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which we are still in the process of remediating as of September 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Investors are directed to Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for the description of these weaknesses.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.
8
During its evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, our management concluded that we still need to hire qualified accounting personnel and enhance the supervision, monitoring and review of the financial statements preparation processes. Although our accounting staff is professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generally accepted in the PRC, management has determined that they require additional training and assistance in U.S. GAAP. We are actively searching for additional personnel with relevant accounting experience, skills and knowledge in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting disclosure requirements under SEC rules. In addition, we plan to establish an audit committee and appoint qualified committee members to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting.
Other than the foregoing changes, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
