Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Changda
International Limited
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Changda International
Limited ("Changda International") and its subsidiaries (together with Changda
International, collectively referred to as the "Company") as of December 31,
2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years
then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing auditing procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits also included
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December
31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

plan costs
Payments
to the state managed retirement benefits schemes are charged to general and
administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive income as and when the related employee services are
provided.
Income
taxes
The
charge for current income tax is based on the results for the period as adjusted
for items that are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax
rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet
date.
Deferred
tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the
balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, if the deferred tax
arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other
than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither
the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss, it is not accounted
for.
The
deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are
expected to apply to the period when the asset is recovered or the liability is
settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively
enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against
which the deductible temporary differences, tax losses and credits can be
utilized.

130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income", requires the presentation of comprehensive income, in addition
to the existing statements of operations. Comprehensive income is defined as the
change in equity during the year from transactions and other events, excluding

plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, are stated at cost
less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses.

directly attributable costs of brining the asset to its working condition and
location for its intended use. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the income
statement during the period in which they are incurred.

Property,

Depreciation
is provided to write off the cost less accumulated impairment losses of
property, plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, over their
estimated useful lives as set out below from the date on which they are
available for use and after taking into account of their estimated residual
values, using the straight-line method. Where parts of an item of property,
plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost or valuation of the
item is allocated on a reasonable basis and depreciated
separately.

Construction
in progress
Construction
in progress is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes
all construction expenditure and other direct costs, including interest costs,
attributable to such projects. Costs on completed construction works are
transferred to the appropriate asset category. No depreciation is provided in
respect of construction in progress until it is completed and available for
use.
Prepaid
lease payments
Prepaid
lease payments are up-front payments to acquire fixed term interests in
lessee-occupied land. The premiums are stated at cost and are amortised over the
period of the lease on a straight-line basis to the statement of operations and
other comprehensive income.
Intangible
assets
Trademarks
The
initial cost of acquiring trademarks is capitalised. Trademarks with indefinite
useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Trademarks
with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and
accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is provided on the straight-line
basis over their estimated useful lives of 10 years.
Impairment
of long-lived assets
Long-lived
assets are reviewed at least annually for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be
recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired
as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of
recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount
of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets.
If such assets are considered to be impaired, impairment is measured by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the
assets and recorded as a reduction of original costs. Assets to be disposed of
are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to
sell.

Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost, which comprises
all costs of purchase and, where applicable, cost of conversion and other costs
that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location
and condition, is calculated using the weighted average cost method. Net realisable value represents the
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated
costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the
sale.
Cash
equivalents
For the
purpose of consolidated statements of cash flows, cash equivalents represent
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, net of bank overdrafts.
Foreign
currency translation
Items
included in the Company's consolidated financial statements are measured using
the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates
("functional currency").
Foreign
currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the
exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency
transaction gains and losses are recognized in current operations, whilst
translation adjustments are recognized in other comprehensive income, which in a
separate component of stockholders' equity.
The
presentational currency is the United States Dollars, presented in
thousands.
Fair
value of financial instruments
The
Company's financial instruments include restricted bank balances, trade and
other receivables or payables, prepayments and borrowings. The management has
estimated that the carrying amount approximates their fair value due to their
short-term nature. The fair value of non-current financial instruments was not
materially different from their carrying value as of December 31, 2008 and
2007.
Government
grants
Government
grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance
that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied
with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over
the years necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that
it is intended to compensate. Where the grant relates to an asset, the fair
value is credited to a deferred income account and is released to the statement
of operations and other comprehensive income over the expected useful life of
the relevant asset by equal annual instalments.
Shipping
and handling
The
Company includes shipping and handling fees and costs in cost of goods sold.
Related fees and costs charged to customers are classified as
revenue.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Provisions
Provisions
are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation
as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a
reliable estimate of the amount of obligation can be made. Expenditures for
which a provision has been recognised are charged against the related provision
in the period in which the expenditures are incurred. Provisions are reviewed at
each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where
the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount provided is the
present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the
obligation. Where the Company expects a provision to be reimbursed, the
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement
is virtually certain.
Operating
leases
Leases
where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with
the leasing company are accounted for as operating leases. Rentals payable and
receivable under operating leases are recognised as expense and revenue on the
straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with USGAAP
requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reported periods. The management evaluates
these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and bases their estimates on
experience, current and expected future conditions, third-party evaluations and
various other assumptions that they believe are reasonable under the
circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities as well as
identifying and assessing the accounting treatment with respect to commitments
and contingencies.
Actual
amounts could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but not
limited to, the accounting for certain items such as allowance for doubtful
accounts, depreciation and amortization, inventory allowance, taxes and
contingencies.
Related
parties
Parties
are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or
indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over
the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also
considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common
significant influence.
Critical
accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates
and judgments are currently evaluated and are based on historical experience and
other factors including expectations of future events that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Apart from information disclosed elsewhere
in these financial statements, the following summaries estimates and assumptions
that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial
year.

(CONTINUED)
Critical
accounting estimates and judgements (continued)
Allowance
of bad and doubtful debts
The
provisioning policy for bad and doubtful debts of the Company is based on the
evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of the receivables. A
considerable amount of judgement is required in assessing the ultimate
realisation of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the
past collection history of each debtor. If the financial conditions of these
debtors were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make
payments, additional allowance will be required.
Allowance
for inventories
The
Company's management reviews an ageing analysis of inventories at each balance
sheet date, and make allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventory items
identified that are no longer recoverable or suitable for use in production. The
management estimates the net realisable value for finished goods and
work-in-progress based primarily on the latest invoice prices and current market
conditions. The Company carries out an inventory review on a product-by-product
basis at each balance sheet date and makes allowances for obsolete
items.
Recently
issued accounting pronouncements
"Effective
Date of FASB Statement No. 157", which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157
for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are
recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on at least an
annual basis, to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are to be
applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is
applied, with any transition adjustment recognized as a cumulative effect
adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company does not
anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and
liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis will have a material
impact on its financial position and results of operations.
On
January 1, 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51," (SEAS 160).
SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial
Statements," to establish accounting and reporting standards for the
non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. This standard defines a non-controlling interest, previously called
a minority interest, as the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable,
directly or indirectly, to a parent. SFAS 160 requires, among other items, that
a non-controlling interest be included in the consolidated statement of
financial position within equity separate from the parent's equity; consolidated
net income to be reported at amounts inclusive of both the parent's and
non-controlling interest's shares and, separately, the amounts of consolidated
net income attributable to the parent and non-controlling interest all on the
consolidated statement of operations; and if a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any
retained non-controlling equity investment in the former subsidiary be measured
at fair value and a gain or loss be recognized in net income based on such fair
value. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company's
adoption of SFAS No. 160 will not have a material impact on its financial
position and results of operations.

On
January 1, 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business
Combinations," (SFAS 141(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 141, "Business
Combinations," (SFAS 141) but retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141,
including that the purchase method be used for all business combinations and for
an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This standard
defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more
businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as
the date that the acquirer achieves control instead of the date that the
consideration is transferred. SFAS 141(R) requires an acquirer in a business
combination, including business combinations achieved in stages (step
acquisition), to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any
non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at
their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. It also requires the
recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from certain
contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date, measured at their
acquisition-date fair values. Additionally, SFAS 141(R) requires
acquisition-related costs to be expensed in the period in which the costs are
incurred and the services are received instead of including such costs as part
of the acquisition price. This Statement applies prospectively to business
combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the
first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 31, 2008. Early
adoption is not allowed. The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will not have
a material impact on its financial position and results of
operations.
On
January 1, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 142-3,
"Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets," (FSP FAS 142-3). FSP
FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or
extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets," (SFAS 142) in order to improve the consistency between the useful life
of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash
flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other
GAAP. This Statement shall be effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008, and interim periods within those
fiscal years. Early adoption is not allowed. The Company's adoption of SFAS No.
142-3 will not have a material impact on its financial position and results
of operations.
On
January 1, 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, "Determining Whether
Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating
Securities," (FSP EITF 03-6-1). FSP EITF 03-6-1 states that unvested share-based
payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend
equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be
included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class
method. This Statement shall be effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those

In
December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FSP No. FAS
132(R)-1, "Employers' Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets,"
(FSP FAS 132(R)-1). FSP FAS 132(R)-1 amends SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003),
"Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," to
provide guidance on an employer's disclosures about plan assets of a defined
benefit pension or other postretirement plan. This guidance is intended to
ensure that an employer meets the objectives of the disclosures about plan
assets in an employer's defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan to
provide users of financial statements with an understanding of the following:
how investment allocation decisions are made; the major categories of plan
assets; the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of
plan assets; the effect of fair value measurements using significant
unobservable inputs on changes in plan assets; and significant concentrations of
risk within plan assets. FSP FAS 132(R)-1 becomes effective for Changda
International on December 31, 2009. As FSP FAS 132(R)-1 only requires enhanced
disclosures, management has determined that the adoption of FSP FAS 132(R)-1
will not have an impact on the Financial Statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles" ("SFAS No. 162"). SFAS No. 162 is intended to improve
financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for
selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements
that are presented in conformity with US GAAP for nongovernmental entities.
SFAS No. 162 is effective on November 15, 2008, which is 60 days following the
SEC's September 16, 2008 approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board amendments to AU Section 411, the meaning of "Present Fairly in Conformity
with GAAP". Any effect of applying the provisions of SFAS No. 162 is to be
reported as a change in accounting principle in accordance with FASB Statement
No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections". The Company's adoption of
SFAS No. 162 will not have a material impact on its financial position and
results of operations.

No

Credit
risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognized at the reporting
date if counter parties failed to perform as contracted. Concentrations of
credit risk (whether on or off balance sheet) that arise from financial economic
characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations
to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. The major
concentrations of credit risk arise from the Company's accounts receivable. Even
though the Company has major concentrations, it does not consider itself exposed
to significant risk with regards to the related receivables.
(b) Country
risks
The
Company's principal operation is conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, its
business, financial condition and result of operation maybe influenced by the
political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state
of the PRC economy.
The
operation in the PRC is subject to special considerations and significant risks.
These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and
legal environment and foreign currency exchange and remittance restrictions. The
Company's results maybe adversely affected by changes in the political and
social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with
respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency
conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, inter alia.
The management does not believe these risks to be significant. There can be no
assurance, however, those changes in political and other conditions will not
result in any adverse impact.

(CONTINUED)
(c)
Cash and time
deposits
The
Company mainly maintains its cash balances with various banks located in the
PRC. In common with local practice, such amounts are not insured or otherwise
protected should the financial institutions be unable to meet their liabilities.
There has been no history of credit losses. There are neither material
commitment fees nor compensating balance requirements for any outstanding loans
of the Company.
4. INCOME
TAXES
Changda
International had a net operating loss carry-forward for income tax reporting
purposes that might be offset against future taxable income. These net operating
loss carry-forwards are severely limited when Changda International experiences
a change in control. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial
statements, because Changda International believes that it is more likely than
not that the carry-forwards will finally expire and therefore cannot be used.
Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carry-forwards are offset by
a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Changda
International's subsidiaries are subject to income taxes on an entity basis on
income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdictions in which each entity
domiciles and operates.
In 2006,
the local government of economic development area has granted a special tax
exemption to Changda Fertilizer. In this connection, Changda Fertilizer is
entitled to receive the whole amount of Enterprise Income Tax ("EIT") payable
for its first two profitable years of operation starting from 2006 and followed
by an entitlement to receive 50% of EIT payable for the following three years.
The exemption is not applicable upon the successful listing of any holding
company vehicle in overseas stock market.
For
accounting purpose, taxation for the years has been estimated based on the
assessable profit for the period at a rate of 25% according to the newly
effective EIT Law of the PRC in 2008 ("new EIT Law") (2007:
33%). The respective tax liability has been recognized as tax liability
and the related receivable from the local government of economic development
area has been recognized as government grant receivable in respect of taxation,
as reported in the balance sheet.
Starting
from January 1, 2009, the special tax exemption previously granted to Changda
Fertilizer ceased to effect since it became a subsidiary of a public company
listed in the US stock market. Changda Fertilizer is subject to EIT at a rate of
25% thereafter.
Heze
Changda is subject to EIT at a rate of 25%. EIT has not been provided as the
subsidiary has no assessable profit since establishment.
Changda
Chemical was entitled to a special tax exemption granted by the local government
of economic development area since 2006. In this connection, the Company is
entitled to receive a refund of the whole amount of EIT paid for its first two
profitable years of operation starting from 2006.

During
the year ended December 31, 2007, Changda Chemical became a WOFE and is subject
to Foreign Enterprise Income Tax. The local government of economic development
area has confirmed that the Company is still entitled to receive the tax
concession granted for the whole year.
In
practice, the amounts entitled to be received have been reported as an exemption
in the respective tax returns submitted by Changda Chemical to the tax bureau
and no assessment of tax payable had been raised by the local tax
bureau.
For
accounting purpose, taxation for the year ended December 31, 2007 has been
estimated based on the assessable profit at a rate of 33%. The respective tax
liability has been recognized and the related receivable from the local
government of economic development area has been recognized as government grant
receivable in respect of taxation, as reported in the balance
sheet.
On
December 29, 2008, Changda Chemical was approved as a high-tech enterprise.
Pursuant to the newly effective Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC, tax rate
for an approved high-tech enterprise is 15%. Taxation for the year ended
December 31, 2008 has been estimated based on the assessable profit for the year
at a rate of 15%.
According
to the previous applicable tax law, Shangdong Fengtai was entitled to a tax
holiday of a tax-free period for 2 years from its first profit-making year of
operations and followed by a 50% reduction for the following 3 years ("Tax
Holidays."). Pursuant to the transitional arrangement under the new EIT Law,
Shangdong Fengtai continues to enjoy Tax Holidays, however, the tax-free period
has to be started in 2008 irrespective whether it is
profit-making.

for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109"
("FIN 48") issued by the FASB clarifies the accounting and disclosure for
uncertainty in tax positions, as defined, and prescribes the measurement process
and a minimum recognition threshold for a tax
position, taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, that is required to be
met before being recognized in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the
Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain position only if it is
more-likely-than-not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the
taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax
benefits recognized in the financial statements attributable to such position
are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood
of being realized upon the ultimate resolution of the
position.

Subject
to the provision of FIN 48, the Company has analyzed its filing positions in all

tax returns. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company has identified the
jurisdictions at PRC as "major" tax jurisdictions, as defined, in which it is
required to file income tax returns. Based on the evaluations noted above, the
Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions
requiring recognition in its consolidated financial
statements.
As of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits or
accruals for the potential payment or interest and penalties. The Company's
policy is to record interest and penalties in this connection as a component of
the provision for income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and
