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 US). 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.

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. | |

|
2.3 |
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 TECT’s 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 Company’s common stock, which constituted 63.6% of the Company’s 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 Company’s controlling stockholder, pursuant to which Mr. Lu was granted an option to acquire 17,797,372 shares the Company’s 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 Company’s 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. |
||
STT deregistered on November 30, 2011. |
||
TEC US, TECT, ATEC, and ZTEC are hereafter collectively referred to as the Company. |
||
2.4 |
USE OF ESTIMATES |
|
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires us 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 AND POLITICAL RISK |
|
The Company’s business operations are conducted in the PRC and are subject to special considerations and risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. China’s political, economic and legal environments may influence the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, including adverse effects by changes in governmental policies in laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, and rates and methods of taxation. |

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. | ||

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 $223,371 and $128,510 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. | ||
2.8 |
ADVERTISING | |

These costs totaled $0 as incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

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. |

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, 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 $1,332,351 as of March 31, 2012 and $1,228,817 as of December 31, 2011. The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were translated at RMB6.33 to $1.00 and RMB6.36 to $1.00, respectively. The average translation rates applied to the statements of income and of cash flows for the three months years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were RMB6.32 to $1.00 and RMB6.59 to $1.00, respectively. | |||

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 consolidated statement 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, 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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company determined no impairment charges were necessary. |

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. |

INCOME TAXES |
|
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Topic ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes”.

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. |

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. | ||
The carrying amounts of the Companys financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. | ||
The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or a non-recurring basis, consequently, the Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011, nor gains or losses are reported in the statement of income and other comprehensive income that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date for the fiscal periods ended March 31, 2012 or March 31, 2011. | ||

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | |
The Company adopted ASC Topic 718, Compensation Stock Compensation and ASC Topic 505-50 Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees using the fair value method. Under ASC Topic 718 and ASC Topic 505-50, stock compensation expenses is measured at the grant date on the value of the option or restricted stock and is recognized as expenses, less expected forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. | ||
On June 15, 2010, HGHN issued, a warrant to purchase 80,000 shares at a price of $2.00 per share.

The new standard EIT rate of 25% replaced the 33% rate currently applicable to both DEs and FIEs. 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 is made at the unified EIT rate of 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 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 ofthe companys subsidiary ATEC is made at the local preferential EIT rate of 15% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 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.
4
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, to date, we have not 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 Shenzhen and Beijing.

Revenues. Our revenues are mainly generated from sales of our tower products. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, our revenues increased by $0.94 million, or 27.62%, to $4.37 million from $3.43 million for the same period in 2011. The increase in our revenues was mainly attributable to the increase in both selling prices and sales volume of our products. Our sales volume increased by 550 tons, or 16.38%, to 3,908 tons in the three months ended March 31, 2012, from 3,358 tons for the same period in 2011. In addition, our average selling price increased by $152/ton to $1,169/ton in the three months ended March 31, 2012, from $1,017/ton in the same period in 2011, to offset the price inflation of operating costs including wages cost, energy cost, transportation and steel price fluctuation. In the three months ended March 31, 2012, approximately 88.39% of our revenues were generated from sales to customers in the energy industry and approximately 11.61% were generated from sales to customers in the communication industry. As we emphasized overseas sales efforts, revenues generated from sales of energy transmission towers increased by approximately 577.4% while sales of communications towers decreased by approximately 82.17% period over period.
5
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 by $1.10 million, or 45.72%, to $3.52 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from $2.42 million for the same period in 2011. As a percentage of revenues, our cost of goods sold increased to 80.45% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from 70.53% for the same period in 2011. The increase in cost of goods sold was mainly due to the significant increase in per ton price of steel and galvanization cost per ton in the 2012 period. According to Shanghai Nonferrous Metals Net, in the three months ended March 31, 2012, the per ton price of our major raw material, steel, fluctuated in the range between $649 and $846, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011, when the per ton price of steel fluctuated in the range between $659 and $764. 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 is equal to the difference between our revenue and our cost of goods sold. Our gross profit decreased by $0.16 million, or 15.73%, to $0.85 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from $1.01 million for the same period in 2011. The decrease was mainly due to the increase of cost of goods sold noted above. As a result, our gross profit as a percentage of revenues (gross margin) decreased to 19.46% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to 29.47% for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
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 by $0.03 million, or 13.56%, to $0.24 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from $0.21 million for the same period in 2011. Such increase was mainly attributable to the increased shipping costs of our expanded overseas sales.
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 and other expenses incurred in connection with general operations. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $0.15 million, or 68.14%, to $0.38 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from $0.23 million for the same period in 2011. Such increase was primarily attributable to the increased travelling expenses for overseas promotion and business negotiation.
Government grant. Government grants are financial incentives offered by the local government to conduct business in certain areas. Our government grant was $3,639 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as investment incentive for investing in Jinde County, Anhui Province as compared to $0 for the same period in 2011. No present or future obligation arises from the receipt of such government grants.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased by $0.13 million, or 53.78%, to $0.38 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from $0.25 million for the same period in 2011. Such increase was mainly due to the increase in our outstanding short term loans by $6.51 million and annual interest rates.
(Loss) income before income taxes. Our income before income taxes decreased by $0.47 million, or 124.96%, to $(0.14) million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from $0.33 million for the same period in 2011, as a result of the factors described above.
Provision for income taxes. Our income tax provisions decreased by $0.04 million, or 81.70%, to $0.01 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from $0.05 million for the same period in 2011, mainly due to the decrease in taxable income. TEC Tower is subject to the income tax at a rate of 25%. Since January 2010, TEC Tower has qualified as a government recognized High- and New-Technology Enterprise and is entitled to a 10% refund of income tax according to local preferential tax policy for manufacturing of high technology products .
Net (loss) income. We incurred a net loss of $0.15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of $0.43 million, or 153.57%, from a net income of $0.28 million for the same period in 2011, as a cumulative effect of all factors discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.10 million and restricted cash of $2.91 million.
6
We have entered into factoring agreements with three banks to factor some of our accounts receivable. These receivables are factored to the bank with recourse, which means that we have pledged these receivable as collateral for the banks to advance funds to us under a line of credit arrangement. As of March 31, 2012, accounts receivable in an amount of $1.25 million was factored to the China Construction Bank to secure banking loan facilities. We continue to carry the receivables on our balance sheet as we did not satisfy the sale criteria of ASC 860-10-40-5. We have effective control over factored portion of accounts receivable.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $5.24 million, as compared to $3.73 million net cash provided by operating activities for the same period in 2011. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to the cash outflow associated with increased inventory to hedge against increasing steel price and the net loss in the 2012 period.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $1.39 million, as compared to $2.38 million for the same period in 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we invested approximately $1.39 million for the construction of our Zhejiang facilities and Anhui administration office, and the upgrade of production facilities.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $5.97 million, as compared to $1.08 million net cash used in financing activities for the same period in 2011. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to increased net notes payable of $5.61 million and advances from related parties of $2.38 million.

We maintain a RMB 50,000,000 (approximately $7.91 million) revolving line of credit with Huishang Bank, Sub-branch of Xuancheng Branch. This line of credit is secured by TEC Tower’s land use rights in Anhui, our restricted cash and third party’s guarantee. We have utilized RMB 50,000,000 (approximately $7.91 million) of the line of credit as of March 31, 2012.
We maintain a RMB 20,000,000 (approximately $3.16 million) revolving line of credit with China Construction Bank, Jindge Branch. This line of credit is secured by TEC Tower’s land use rights in Anhui and our restricted cash and accounts receivable. We have utilized RMB 20,000,000 (approximately $3.16 million) of the line of credit as of March 31, 2012.
We maintain a RMB 16,700,000 (approximately $2.64 million) line of credit with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank Limited. This line of credit is secured by letter of credit. We have utilized RMB 16,700,000 (approximately $2.64 million) of the line of credit as of March 31, 2012.
We also maintain a RMB 30,000,000 (approximately $4.74 million) line of credit with Export Import Bank of China, Anhui Province. This line of credit is secured by third party’ guarantee. We have utilized RMB 30,000,000 (approximately $4.74 million) of the line of credit as of March 31, 2012.
The above loan agreements contained regular provisions requiring timely repayment of principals and accrued interests, payment of default interest in the event of default without specific financial covenants. We believe we are in material compliance with the terms of these loan agreements.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $1.39 million and $2.38 million, respectively, representing the total amount of investment activities.
To date, we have financed our operations primarily through proceeds from notes payable and advance from third parties. 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, 2011.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Topic 210 - Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. ASU 2011-11 will be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with retrospective application for all comparable periods presented. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
Not Applicable.
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, Dr. Peter Lim Boon-Lum, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2012. Based upon that evaluation, Mr. Lu and Dr. Lim 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, 2011, which we are still in the process of remediating as of March 31, 2012, 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, 2011 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.
9
During its evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, our management identified material weaknesses relating to: (1) our internal audit function, which are management determined to be significantly deficient due to insufficient qualified resources and appropriate system to perform such function; and (2) our lack of sufficient accounting personnel with an appropriate understanding of United States generally accepted accounting principles and SEC reporting disclosure requirements. As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, our management has identified the steps necessary to address the material weakness, and in the first quarter of 2012, we continued to implement these remedial procedures.
Other than in connection with the implementation of the remedial measures described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
