NOTES
TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
1.
COMPANY OVERVIEW AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1
Business Description
Universal
Solar Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation in the
development stage. It is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of Silicon
ingots, wafers, solar cells, modules, and other PV application
products.
The
Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 24, 2007.
It operates through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Kuong U Science
& Technology (Group) Ltd. (“KUST”), a company incorporated in Macau, Peoples
Republic of China (“PRC”) on May 10, 2007, and Nanyang Universal Solar
Technology Co., Ltd. (“NUST”), a company incorporated in Nanyang, PRC on
September 8, 2008.
On May
9th, 2008, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and raised capital of $300,000 from a
self-underwritten offering of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock.
1.2
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The
unaudited financial statements, as of and for the three months ended March 31,
2010 and 2009, have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles in the United States for interim financial information and
with instructions to Form 10-Q.
In the
opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements have been prepared on
the same basis as the annual financial statements, and reflect all adjustments,
which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the
financial position as of March 31, 2010 and the results of operations and cash
flows for the periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. The results for the three
months ended March 31, 2010 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for any subsequent quarter of the entire year ending December 31, 2010.
5
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and
Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations. These unaudited financial
statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements
and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009 as included in our report
on Form 10-K.
1.3
Currency Translation
The
reporting currency of the Company is U.S. dollars (USD). The functional currency
of KUST is Hong Kong dollars (HKD). The functional currency of NUST is Renminbi
(RMB). The subsidiaries’ functional currencies have been translated into USD for
reporting purpose.
Income
statement items were converted at the average exchange rates during the three
month period. Balance sheet items were converted at the period-end exchange
rates, except for equity accounts which were calculated at the historical rates.
Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions were recognized on an actual
basis.
RMB
related transactions must take place through PRC authorized institutions. No
representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be,
converted into USD at the rates applied in the translation.
1.4
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions. These estimates and assumptions could affect the application of
accounting policies, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and
reported amounts of revenues and expenses.
Accounting
estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. Appropriate adjustments to estimates are made as management
becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the
estimates.
1.5
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive
income (loss) is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting
from investments by shareholders and distributions to shareholders. Among other
disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current
accounting standards as components of comprehensive income (loss) are required
to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same
prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income includes net
income (loss) and the foreign currency translation adjustment, net of
tax.
1.6
New Accounting Pronouncements
In August
2009, the FASB updated the accounting standards to provide additional guidance
on estimating the fair value of a liability in a hypothetical transaction where
the liability is transferred to a market participant. The standard is effective
for the first reporting period, including interim periods, beginning after
issuance. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the
Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial
condition
In June
2009, FASB established Accounting Standards Codification TM (“ASC”) as the
single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB in
the preparation of financial statements in conformity with the GAAP. The
Codification supersedes Codification supersedes all non-SEC accounting and
reporting standards. The Codification was effective for financial statements
issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The
company adopted the new guidance for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Adoption of the Codification did not have any impact on the Company’s results of
operations or financial position.
6
In May
2009, FASB issued new guidance establishing general standards of accounting for
disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, or subsequent
events. An entity should apply the requirements to interim or annual financial
periods ending after June 15, 2009. Adoption of this standard did not have a
material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial
position.
2.
GOING CONCERN
The
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States, which contemplate continuation of the
Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred an operating loss since
inception and its cash resources are insufficient to meet its planned business
objectives. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.

Lakshmi Enterprises. The sales to Kotak Urja Private Limited accounted for
approximately 97% of total revenue in 2009. Under the terms of the purchase
agreements, the Company is obligated to replace nonworking modules for a period
of one year from the date of deliveries. Up to the expiration date of the
warranty, there is no request for replacement.
5.
INCOME TAXES
The
Company has not recorded a provision for United States federal income tax for
the periods presented due to its consecutive net loss since the inception of
business.
The
Company’s Chinese subsidiaries are governed by the Income Tax Law of the
People’s Republic of China concerning private enterprises, which are generally
subject to tax at a statutory rate of 25% on taxable income.

financial statements at March 31, 2010 and the management will continue to
review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as
appropriate.

Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements
and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
DISCLAIMER
REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
document contains certain forward-looking statements, which are made under the
safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Terms such as “anticipate”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “believe”, “estimate”,
“expect”, “intend”, “plan”, predict”, “project”, “target”, “will likely result”,
“will continue” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statement and based upon our expectations at the time they made. The
forward-looking statements are not guarantee for future performance and actual
results may differ from those indicated or implied in the forward-looking
statements due to a various factors including, but not limited to changes to our
assumptions, risks and uncertainties involved, many of which are beyond our
control. We discuss risks and uncertainties in great details under item IA “Risk
Factors” below.
The
company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. However, your attention is directed to any further
disclosures made on related subjects in our subsequent annual and periodic
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 10-K, 10-Q
and 8-K.
The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
accompanying notes and the other financial information appearing in Part I, Item
1 and elsewhere in this report. The Company’s fiscal year end is December
31.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The
company’s focus during 2010 has been on completing the development of its
Nanyang factory. With the newly finished manufacture, the annual production
capacity can reach to 38MW silicon ingots, 7MW solar wafers, and 30 MW solar PV
modules by the end of third quarter of 2010.
Revenue
Recognition
Affected
by the significant price decrease for solar products, it was not cost effective
for the Company to sell products manufactured by a related party as it has done
in the past. As a result, there were no revenues recognized during the first
quarter of 2010 compared to $659,948 for the three months ended March 31, 2009,
generated from our major two customers of solar PV modules manufactured by a
related party. Instead, the Company has focused its efforts on completing the
construction of its manufacturing facilities in order to become more vertically
integrated. As a vertically integrated company, we will be able to increase the
profit margin of our products and sell our products at lower
prices.
Cost
of Sales
The cost
of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was zero, as we had no
sales, comparing to $589,368 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The
cost of sales in the amount of $589,368, mainly including raw material, was
contributed to the revenue generated by KUST last year.
Gross
Profit
Gross
profit is affected by numerous factors, including our average selling prices,
foreign exchange rates, our manufacturing costs and the effective utilization of
our production facilities. Our gross profit for the three months ended March 31,
2010 was zero, compared to $70,580 for the three months of 2009 because we had
no sales for reasons discussed above.
9
Selling,
General and Administrative
Selling,
general and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and other
personnel-related costs, professional fees, advertisement, and other selling
expenses. It was $161,488 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to
$83,469 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was mainly
associated with the expenses related to consulting, legal and audit fees in
relation to our registration of our common stock with the SEC. We expect these
expenses to increase further in the near future, both in absolute dollars and as
a percentage of net sales, in order to support the completion of manufacturing
construction, installation of equipment, improvement of our information
processes and systems, compliance and other infrastructure required for a public
company.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense was $85,309 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to
$8,239 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The majority of the $85,309
interest expense was attributable to the imputed interest expense on the loans
from related parties.
Net
Loss
Net loss
for the first quarter was $248,642 compared to $21,382 for the first quarter of
2009 as a combination result of the absence of revenue, and increased
administration and personal expenses. The number of employees has increase from
4 to 54 at the end of the first quarter of 2010.
Foreign
Currency Gain (Loss)
Foreign
currency gain (loss) consists of gains and losses resulting from holding assets
and liabilities and conducting transactions denominated in currencies other than
our functional currencies. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we
recognized a foreign currency translation gain of $15,797, compared to $28,451
for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our
operation is primarily funded through paid-in capital and short term and long
term loans from the related parties. As of March 31, 2010, we had $1,068,206 in
cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, compared with $169,145 ended
March 31, 2009. We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
operating results and cash flows.
Operating
Activities
For the
three months ended March 31, 2010, cash used in operating activities was
$379,419 compared with $409,872 used during the three months ended March 31,
2009. This was primarily attributable to cash used in prepaid expenses, other

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As of
March 31, 2010, we have not entered any financial guarantees or other
commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any other parties. We do not
have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a
current or future effect on our financial condition, operating results and cash
flows.
The
recent and unprecedented disruption in the credit markets has had a significant
impact on a number of financial activities. Additional financing is desirable
within the next 9 months in order to meet our current and projected cash flow
deficits from business operations and future development.
As of
March 31, 2010, our liquidity and capital resources have not been materially
adversely impacted and we believe that they will not be materially adversely
impacted in the near future.

Procedures
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND

supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). The purpose of this
evaluation is to determine if, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure
controls and procedures were operating effectively such that the information,
required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
reports (i) was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) was accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Based on
this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and
procedures were operating effectively.

Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, during the fiscal quarter covered by this report, and
they have concluded that there was no change to the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
CEO
AND CFO CERTIFICATIONS
We have
attached as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q the certification of
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer which are required in
accordance with the Exchange Act. We recommend that this Item 4 be read in
conjunction with those certifications for a more complete understanding of the
subject matter presented.
LIMITATION
ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS
The
inherent limitations of the control systems, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control
system’s objectives are being met. These inherent limitations include the
realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns
can occur because of simple error or mistake. Control systems can also be
circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more
people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of
controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future
events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving
its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the
degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
