PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

BUSINESS

Through its 90% ownership of the Ruili Group Ruian Auto Parts Co., Ltd., a Sino-foreign joint venture (the “Joint Venture”), SORL Auto Parts, Inc. (together with our subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) develops, manufactures and distributes automotive air brake systems, air controlling systems and other related components to automotive original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, and the related aftermarket both in China and internationally. Installed on the chassis, air brake systems include a collection of various air brake components using compressed air and functioning as the execution device for service braking and parking braking. The Company’s products are principally used in different types of commercial vehicles, such as trucks and buses. Air brake systems, air controlling systems and other related components are critical components that ensure driving safety.

The Joint Venture was formed in China as a Sino-foreign joint venture on January 17, 2004, pursuant to the terms of a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) between the Ruili Group Co., Ltd. (the “Ruili Group”) and Fairford Holdings Limited (“Fairford”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Ruili Group was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) in 1987 and specialized in the development, production and sale of various kinds of automotive parts. Fairford and the Ruili Group contributed 90% and 10%, respectively, of the paid-in capital of the Joint Venture, which totaled $43.4 million.

Effective January 19, 2004 the Joint Venture acquired the business segment of the Ruili Group relating to the manufacture and sale of various kinds of valves for automotive brake systems and related operations (the “Transferred Business”). The Ruili Group began the automotive air brake valve business in 1987. The acquisition was accomplished by the transfer from the Ruili Group to Fairford of the relevant assets and liabilities of the Transferred Business including trade receivables, inventories and machinery, and the assumption of short and long term borrowings for a purchase price of $6,390,000. The consideration was based on a valuation provided by Ruian Ruiyang Assets Valuation Co., Ltd., an independent PRC valuation firm. Fairford then transferred these assets and liabilities to the Joint Venture as consideration for its 90% ownership interest of the Joint Venture. The Ruili Group transferred inventory as its capital contribution for its 10% interest in the Joint Venture. The assets and liabilities transferred to the Joint Venture by Fairford and the Ruili Group represented all the assets and liabilities of the Transferred Business. Certain historical information of the Transferred Business is based on the operation of the Transferred Business when it was owned by the Ruili Group.

On November 30, 2006, the Company completed a follow-on public offering of 4,285,714 shares of common stock at $7.25 per share. Gross proceeds were approximately $31.1 million. Net proceeds after approximately $2.2 million of underwriters’ commissions and approximately $0.7 million of related offering expenses were approximately $28.2 million. On December 13, 2006, Maxim Group LLC, the lead underwriter of offering, exercised its over-allotment option in full to purchase an additional 642,857 shares of common stock. After deduction of underwriter’s discount of approximately from $0.3 million, the Company received $4.3 million. The aggregate net proceeds to the Company of this offering was approximately $32.5 million, which included the $4.3 million as a result of the exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters.

On December 8 and 26, 2006, through Fairford, the Company invested $32.67 million in its operating subsidiary, the Ruili Group Ruian Auto Parts Co., Ltd. To maintain its 10% shareholding in the Joint Venture, the Ruili Group increased its capital investment by $3.63 million. Accordingly, the Company continued to hold a 90% controlling interest in the operating subsidiary.

Our primary location is in Ruian City, Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, People’s Republic of China. Wenzhou is a southeast coastal city and is a center of automotive parts manufacturing in China. The Company’s main products include spring brake chambers, clutch servos, air dryers, and main valves and manual valves, all of which are widely used in the brake systems for various types of commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses. Reliable functioning of those valves is critical to safety both when driving and parking.

On November 11, 2009, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with MGR, a Hong Kong-based global auto parts distribution specialist firm and a Taiwanese investor. The new joint venture was named SORL International Holding, Ltd. ("SIH"). SORL holds a 60% interest in the joint venture, MGR holds a 30% interest, and the Taiwanese investor holds a 10% interest. SIH is primarily devoted to expanding SORL's international sales network in Asia-Pacific and creating a larger footprint in Europe, the Middle East and Africa with a target to create a truly global distribution network. Based in Hong Kong, SIH is expanding and establishing channels of distribution in international markets with SORL's primary products, including spring brake chambers, clutch servos, air dryers, relay valves and hand brake valves.

STRATEGIC PLAN

The Chinese government has initiated several measures to expand China’s domestic demand and to stimulate economic growth, and has provided a 4 trillion RMB economic stimulus package. These have helped drive an 8.7% increase in Chinese GDP and enhanced the development of China’s auto industry. The international macroeconomic environment and international markets remain uncertain, and have caused us to adjust our 2010 business plan and strategy. In 2010, our plan includes these elements:

Enhance sales to OEM customers. We intend to enhance sales to OEM customers by improving customer service and increasing sales of integrated systems and modular supplies.

Focus on bus market. We aim to enhance our relationships with major bus clients in order to achieve a higher profit margin. We have established a team devoted to the development of bus products, so that we can best respond to the needs of our bus customers and to help achieve higher margins.

Expand sales to the agricultural vehicle market and light-duty vehicle markets. We will attempt to take advantage of the market opportunity created by the “Automobile Go To Village” policy (a policy begun by the Chinese government in an attempt to boost the country’s auto industry), to further develop our agricultural vehicle and light-duty vehicle businesses. The agricultural vehicle market and light-duty vehicle markets are an area of focus in the government’s stimulus plan, and therefore present us with a market opportunity.

Expand sales into the railway transportation market to further extend the product line. We will continue to enhance our ability of development and supply high value-added products to our railway market customers.

Develop new products. We plan to enhance the development of several new products including automotive electronics and energy-saving products. We are working to upgrade traditional air brake drive products to electronically controlled products to achieve a higher profit margin. We are working to develop energy-saving products which will do less harm to the environment, both in the manufacturing process and in use.

Improve manufacturing technology and further computerize our manufacturing. We will continue to seek to improve our manufacturing process to enhance product quality. We anticipate that improvement of manufacturing technology will further automate our manufacturing process, thereby reducing human error, increasing manufacturing efficiency, lowering production costs and further ensuring consistent quality of our products.

Expand through strategic alliance and acquisitions. We are exploring opportunities to enter the passenger vehicle market and to expand our international sales network through new joint ventures or acquisitions of other automotive parts manufacturers in China, as well as auto parts distributors or repair factories with established sales networks outside of China. We will seek acquisition targets that can easily be integrated into our product manufacturing and corporate management, or companies that have strong joint-venture partners that would become major customers.

The Company’s Products

Through the Joint Venture, the Company manufactures and distributes commercial vehicle air brake systems, air controlling systems and other related components in China and internationally. Installed on the chassis, air brake valves include a collection of various air brake components using compressed air and functioning as the execution device for service braking and parking braking. Our products are principally used in different types of commercial vehicles, such as trucks and buses. Air brake systems and other related components are critical components that ensure driving safety.

We produce an extensive range of products covering 40 categories and over 1000 specifications in air brake system, air controlling system and others, which are widely used in different types of commercial vehicles. Additionally, we offer a more complete product line including non-valve products, which are sourced from the Ruili Group. Such outsourced non-valve products include power steering pumps and other pumps, automobile electrical components and auto meters. We seek to introduce new products, maintain high quality, and provide excellent customer support. When working with a customer, our goal is to understand the design intent and brand image for each product and leverage our extensive experience and innovative technology to deliver products. The Company supports its products with a full-range of styling, design, testing and manufacturing capabilities, including just-in -time and in-sequence delivery.

Sales from air brake systems, air controlling systems and other related components accounted for 70.7%, 15.6%, 13.7%, respectively, of our total sales in 2009. In 2008, these products accounted for 62.2%, 13.9% and 23.9% of sales, respectively.

The Company obtained ISO9001/QS9000/VDA6.1 System Certifications in 2001. We passed the ISO/TS 16949 System Certification test conducted by the TUV CERT Certification Body of TUV Industrie Service GmbH in 2004, and its annual review in 2009. The ISO/TS 16949 System, a higher standard replacing the ISO9001/QS9000/VDA6.1 System, was enacted by the International Automotive Task Force and is recognized by major automobile manufacturers all over the world. The annual reviews for other certifications which we passed in 2009 included ISO14001 on environmental management and OHSAS18001 for health and safety management, reflecting the Company’s commitment to workplace safety, health and environmental protection.

CHINA AUTOMOBILE AND AUTO PARTS INDUSTRY

The automobile industry is one of China’s key industries, contributing significantly to the growth of China’s economy. Based on statistics published by the China Association of Automobile Manufactures, in 2009, China’s automobile output and sales volume both reached record high levels of 13.79 million and 13.64 million units, increasing by 48% and 46%, respectively, compared with 2008 figures. The output and sales volume of commercial vehicles increased 33% and 28% to 3.41 million units and 3.31 million units, respectively.

Based on statistics published by the China Association of Automobile Manufactures, China is currently the largest automotive market in the world. Historically, the growth of truck and bus markets in China is a little slower than the growth of the overall automotive industry, but higher than the national GDP growth. According to China’s State Information Center, the commercial vehicle market in China has the potential to grow at a long term rate of 9% through 2020. If achieved, this growth will also spur growth in the auto parts industry.

The Chinese auto parts industry is highly fragmented. Management believes that the future trends of China’s auto parts industry will be:

To keep pace with the rapid development of new automobile technologies.

To meet the requirements of increasingly demanding OEM customers, such as zero defects, and cost reduction.

To partner with OEM customers in the entire process from product design, development and production to costing, quality control and final delivery.

To implement industry restructuring through integration to form several large sized auto parts manufacturing groups better able to compete with leading international manufacturers.

MARKET AND CUSTOMERS

We are the largest commercial vehicle air brake systems manufacturer in China. In general, our customers are divided into three groups: OEMs in China, aftermarket distributors in China, and international customers, accounting for approximately 50.5%, 25.2% and 24.3%, respectively, of the Company’s annual sales for 2009.

OEM Market - We have established long-term business relationships with most of the major automobile manufacturers in China. We sell our products to 62 vehicle manufacturers, including all of the key truck manufacturers in China. In addition to heavy-duty trucks, our products are also widely used in air brake systems for buses. Typically, bus manufacturers purchase a chassis from truck chassis manufacturers which already have incorporated our air brake systems.

The table below presents comparative information for 2009 and 2008 on the Company’s top 5 OEM customers.

COMPETITION

We conduct our business in a complex and highly competitive industry. The global automotive parts industry principally involves the supply of systems, modules and components to vehicle manufacturers for the manufacture of new vehicles. Additionally, suppliers provide components to other suppliers for use in their product offerings and to the aftermarket for use as replacement or enhancement parts for older vehicles. In the current global automotive industry, vehicle manufacturers generally only engage in assembling but not manufacturing non-key automotive parts. Rather, they source these components through a global network of suppliers. As a result, only those automotive parts manufacturers with large-scale production, advanced technology and the ability of producing system modules, can supply their products to vehicle manufacturers directly. The automotive parts industry in China is fragmented and there are many small manufacturers which mainly target the aftermarket. However, there are not many companies who have established both nationwide aftermarket sales networks and close relationships with leading OEM manufacturers. As the largest commercial vehicle air brake system manufacturer in China, we have established long-term business relationships with most of the major automotive manufacturers in China, such as FAW Group (a.k.a. First Auto Group), Dongfeng Motors Group, Beiqi Foton Motor Co., Ltd., Baotou North-Benz Heavy Duty Truck Co., Ltd. and Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Co., Ltd. Management believes that the key success factors in the commercial vehicle air brake systems are product quality, price competitiveness, technical expertise and development capability, new product innovation, and reliability and timeliness of delivery, which may be enhanced by recruiting highly qualified managers and other employees, developing improved product design capability and facilities, and maintaining better customer service.

Domestic Competition - Our most significant competitors in China are: VIE, Weiming and CAFF.

China VIE Group: Its principal products are main valves and unloader/governors, with a majority supplied to OEM’s, such as Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Co., Ltd., and the remaining portion allocated for the aftermarket and export.

China Shandong Weiming Automotive Products Co. Ltd.: This is a joint venture with WABCO of Germany, and mainly produces air dryers, and ABS, primarily supplying to truck and bus OEM’s such as China Heavy Duty Truck Group Corp., Ltd., and some major bus manufacturers in China.

Chongqing CAFF Automobile Braking and Steering Systems Co., Ltd.: Its main products are air dryers and main valves. Its principal customer is Chongqing Heavy Vehicle Group Co., Ltd.

Management believes the Company has the competitive advantages:

Brand Name: As China’s largest commercial vehicle air brake systems manufacturer, the “SORL” brand is widely known in the country. SORL has won awards from the China Chamber of Commerce for Import & Export of Machinery & Electronic products as a “China Top Brand” and the “Export Brand of the Year 2006”.

Technology: We view technological innovation and leadership as the critical means to enhance our core competence. Our technology center includes a laboratory specializing in the research of automotive brake controlling technologies and development of air brake system products. We upgraded our test equipment in 2009, which improved system test capability.

Product Development: Because management believes that our products ultimately define our success, we continue to increase our budget for research and development activities. Through our international sales offices in the US, Australia, the Middle East and India, we are able to promptly collect information about current trends in automotive technologies, which in turn is applied to our new product development and used to enhance our ability to provide domestic OEMs with advanced products. In addition, IT application and strict implementation of ISO/TS16949 standards in the development process greatly shorten the development lead time and improve new product quality.

China Sales Networks: We have 28 authorized distributors covering 7 regions in China. We help train their sales force and improve their service quality. These authorized distributors in turn channel “SORL” products through over 850 sub-distributors throughout China.

Production Management: During 2009, we implemented an Enterprise Resource Planning system, which is an integrated computer-based system used to consolidate all business operations into a uniform and enterprise wide system environment. We follow Six Sigma management practices, which is a customer centered, systematic, data driven way of doing work more efficiently. Also we have improved our manufacturing process to better assure the stability and consistency of product quality and improved material utilization and decreased manufacturing cost.

International Competition - In the international market, our largest competitors are WABCO and Knorr. While management believes our current advantage over WABCO and Knorr is lower pricing, management also believes that the Company’s product quality and brand awareness are improving. Our competitive advantages over other competitors in the global market are:

Performance-Cost Ratio: Our products enjoy lower production costs leveraging the low labor costs in China. Through the Company’s improved product line as a result of technology and manufacturing improvements, our products’ performance-cost advantage is increasing.

Quick Adaptation to Local Market: Through our international sales channels in the US, Australia, the Middle East and India, we have been able to respond to local market needs.

Diversified Auto Products: In addition to our air brake valve products, to fully support existing export customers, we also distribute a wide range of non-valve products which are sourced from the Ruili Group. This reduces customers’ transaction costs.

SALES AND MARKETING

We strengthened our sales and marketing efforts in 2009. The sales headcount for domestic (PRC) sales and international sales was 37 and 38, respectively. Products are sold under the “SORL” trademark, which we license on a royalty free basis from the Ruili Group. The license expires in 2012.

In China, the commercial vehicle air brake systems market can be divided into 2 segments: OEM market and aftermarket.

OEM Market –In 2009, we strengthened our long-term relationships with major domestic OEM customers, and expanded into the municipal bus market and agricultural vehicle market. Currently, we have 62 OEM customers. Normally, these customers sign one-year sales contracts, which are revised as needed.

We have successfully expanded our production capacity so that we were able to increase our sales to the OEM market by $14.1 million or 28.8% for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2008.

Domestic Aftermarket - We place great emphasis on the Chinese automotive aftermarket business and sell products in the aftermarket for replacement purposes. With the rapid growth of commercial vehicles output in recent years and the increasing number of vehicles on the road, there has been an increasing demand for replacement parts in the aftermarket. We have an aftermarket sales network including 28 authorized distributors covering 7 regions nationwide in PRC. These distributors sell only products under the “SORL” trademark to over 850 Chinese distributors. We provide product technical services to these distributors, and also conduct periodic performance evaluations, and reserve the right to terminate the distributorship of those with frequent delinquencies or poor sales records. For 2009, the Company achieved total revenue of $31.5 million in domestic aftermarket sales, a decrease of 11.3% from 2008.

International Markets - Our international sales were adversely affected by global economic conditions and by protectionism. We regard increasing our export sales as an important way to upgrade brand and expand market share. We address expansion in the export market through the following measures:

Focus on both overseas aftermarket and OEM customers at the same time. The company is selling its products into 101 countries and regions, and has begun to supply our products to local OEMs in India.

Company also actively participate in international trade shows including more than ten international exhibition as Automechanika in Frankfort Equip Auto in Pairs, Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo in Las Vegas, Automechanika Middle East in Dubai and China Import and Export Fair in Guangzhou, to acquire new customers and new orders.

In 2009, we established a new joint venture in Hong Kong focused on focused on expanding SORL’s international sales network in the Asia-Pacific region and creating a larger footprint in Europe, the Middle East and Africa with a target to create a truly global distribution network. We presently have four sales centers, located in UAE, USA, Australia, and India. They carry out localization strategy to meet different market demands and to strengthen service support.

DISTRIBUTION

We ship finished products directly to OEM customers. Our products are distributed to aftermarket customers in China through a network of 28 authorized distributors, who also function as the distribution centers for their respective regions. Shipments are delivered directly to international customers.

The production process includes fixture, jig and die making, aluminum alloy die casting, metal sheet stamping, numerical control cutting, welding, numerical control processing, surface treatment, filming, rubber/plastic processing, final assembly and packaging. We have state-of-the-art manufacturing and testing facilities sourced from the US, Korea, Taiwan and mainland China, including computerized numerical control processing centers, computerized numerical control lathes, casting, stamping and cutting machines, automatic spraying and electroplating lines, cleaning machines, automatic assembly lines and three-dimensional coordinate measuring machines and projectors.

In September 2007, the Joint Venture purchased land rights, a manufacturing plant and office building with a total floor area of 712,333 square feet, from Ruili Group Co., Ltd. The Joint Venture previously leased part of the facility from Ruili and occupied approximately 50% of it. As a result of this transaction, our production space is expected to meet our growth demand for the near future.

ENVIRONMENT

In 2006, we were granted ISO14001 certification on environmental management and OHSAS18001 certification on health and safety management, which reflects the Company’s commitment to workplace safety, health and environmental protection. We conduct staff training to enhance awareness of environmental protection. We seek in all phases of our operations to employ practices for environment friendly production, reducing or preventing pollution, and reduction of energy consumption and manufacturing costs. For example, noise intensity is listed as one of the criteria in the selection of new equipment; waste water is stored, purified and recycled in the production process; and compressing machines are used in the disposal of aluminum and steel scraps, saving both storage space and power consumption.

RAW MATERIALS

Raw materials used by the Company in the manufacture of our products primarily include steel, aluminum, other metals, rubber and various manufactured components.

All of the materials used are generally readily available from numerous sources. We have not, in recent years, experienced any significant shortages of manufactured components or raw materials and normally do not carry inventories of these items in excess of what is reasonably required to meet our production and shipping schedules. Critical raw materials are generally sourced from at least two or more vendors to assure adequate supply and price competition. We maintain relationships with over twenty material suppliers. In 2009, the three largest suppliers were Shanghai Jinshi Materials Co., Ltd., Shanghai Dechen Commodity Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Guihao Shiye Co., Ltd. which together accounted for 29.3% of the aggregate of raw materials we purchased. Among these companies, only Shanghai Jinshi Materials Co., Ltd., which accounted for 18.5%, was the source of more than 10% of total raw material purchases.

When planning a purchase order, with such other terms as quality, delivery and credit terms being substantially the same, we compare prices quoted by different suppliers in an attempt to receive the lowest price. In order to secure a favorable purchase price and subsequently a predictable cost of sales, we generally make a down payment to suppliers.

Normally, the annual purchase plan for raw materials, such as aluminum ingot and steel sheet, is determined at the beginning of the calendar year according to our OEM customer’s orders and our own forecast for the aftermarket and international sales. Our purchase plans with key suppliers can be revised quarterly. Our actual requirements are based on monthly production plans. Management believes that this arrangement prevents us from having excess inventory when our orders from customers change.

For raw materials other than steel and aluminum, we normally maintain from five to seven days of inventory at our warehouse.

DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA

CHINA’S ECONOMY

Management believes that the most important factor to understand the Chinese automobile industry is the country’s rapid economic growth. According to China’s Statistics Bureau, China’s GDP growth rate for 2007, 2008 and 2009 was 11.4%, 9.0% and 8.7% respectively.

The government of China has stated its intention to purse continued economic growth and development.

THE CHINESE LEGAL SYSTEM

The practical effect of the People’s Republic of China legal system on our business operations in China can be viewed from two separate but intertwined considerations. First, as a matter of substantive law, the Foreign Invested Enterprise laws provide significant protection from government interference. In addition, these laws guarantee the full enjoyment of the benefits of corporate Articles and contracts to Foreign Invested Enterprise participants. These laws, however, do impose standards concerning corporate formation and governance, which are not qualitatively different from the general corporation laws of the several states. Similarly, the accounting laws in the People’s Republic of China mandate accounting practices, which are not consistent with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The China accounting laws require that an annual “statutory audit” be performed in accordance with People’s Republic of China accounting standards and that the books of account of Foreign Invested Enterprises are maintained in accordance with Chinese accounting laws.

Second, while the enforcement of substantive rights may appear less clear than United States procedures, the Foreign Invested Enterprises and Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprises are Chinese registered companies which enjoy the same status as other Chinese registered companies in business-to-business dispute resolution. Because the terms of the respective Articles of Association provide that all business disputes pertaining to Foreign Invested Enterprises are to be resolved by the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce in Stockholm, Sweden applying Chinese substantive law, the Chinese minority partner in the Joint Venture will not assume a privileged position regarding such disputes. Any award rendered by this arbitration tribunal is, by the express terms of the respective Articles of Association, enforceable in accordance with the “United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (1958).” Therefore, as a practical matter, although no assurances can be given, the Chinese legal infrastructure, while different in operation from its United States counterpart, should not present any significant impediment to the operation of Foreign Invested Enterprises.

ECONOMIC REFORM ISSUES

Although the Chinese government owns the majority of productive assets in China, in the past several years the government has implemented economic reform measures that emphasize decentralization and encourage private economic activity. Because these economic reform measures may be inconsistent or ineffectual, there are no assurances that:

We will be able to capitalize on economic reforms;

The Chinese government will continue its pursuit of economic reform policies;

The economic policies, even if pursued, will be successful;

Economic policies will not be significantly altered from time to time; and

Business operations in China will not become subject to the risk of nationalization.

Since 1979, the Chinese government has reformed its economic systems. Because many reforms are unprecedented or experimental, they are expected to be refined and improved. Other political, economic and social factors, such as political changes, changes in the rates of economic growth, unemployment or inflation, or in the disparities in per capita wealth between regions within China, could lead to further readjustment of the reform measures. This refining and readjustment process may negatively affect our operations.

To date reforms to China’s economic system have not adversely impacted our operations and are not expected to adversely impact operations in the foreseeable future; however, there can be no assurance that the reforms to China’s economic system will continue or that we will not be adversely affected by changes in China’s political, economic, and social conditions and by changes in policies of the Chinese government, such as changes in laws and regulations, measures which may be introduced to control inflation, changes in the rate or method of taxation, imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion and remittance abroad, and reduction in tariff protection and other import restrictions.

EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

The Company currently employs 2,419 employees, all of whom are employed full time: 58 for quality control, 143 technical staff, 75 sales and marketing staff, 2,101 production workers and 42 administrative staff. There are employment agreements with all of the employees whereby administrative staff workers agree to three years of employment and hourly workers agree to three years. Employment contracts with all employees comply with relevant laws and regulations of China.

The Joint Venture is subject to the Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Enterprise Labour Management Regulations. In compliance with those regulations, the Joint Venture’s management may hire and discharge employees and make other determinations with respect to wages, welfare, insurance and discipline of employees. The Joint Venture has, as required by law, established special funds for enterprise development, employee welfare and incentives, as well as a general reserve. In addition, the Joint Venture is required to provide its employees with facilities sufficient to enable the employees to carry out trade union activities.

DESCRIPTION OF THE JOINT VENTURE

General

The Joint Venture was established on January 17, 2004 pursuant to the terms of a Joint Venture Agreement with the Ruili Group. Below is a description of the material terms of the Joint Venture.

Management of the Joint Venture

Pursuant to the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Joint Venture consists of three directors; we have the right to designate two members of the board and the Ruili Group has the right to designate one member and we have the authority to appoint the Chairman of the Board. The majority of the Board has decision-making authority with respect to operating matters. As a result, we maintain operating control over the Joint Venture. However, at this time, our two senior executives, Messrs. Xiao Ping Zhang and Xiao Feng Zhang are the founders of the Ruili Group, and therefore there is limited independence between the two entities. The term of the Joint Venture will expire on March 4, 2019 although we anticipate that we will be able to extend such term. Extension of the agreement will be subject to negotiation with the Ruili Group and approval of the Chinese government.

JV DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS

After provision for social welfare funds for employees and provision for taxation, the profits, if any, of the Joint Venture will be available for distribution to the parties in proportion to their respective capital contributions. Any such distributions must be authorized by the Joint Venture’s Board of Directors. To date, the Joint Venture has not distributed any profits and does not anticipate doing so for the near term.

JV ASSIGNMENT OF INTEREST

Any assignment of an interest in the Joint Venture must be approved by the Chinese government. The Chinese joint venture laws also provide for preemptive rights and the consent of the other joint venture party for any proposed assignments by one party to a third party.

JV LIQUIDATION

Under the Chinese joint venture laws, the Joint Venture may be liquidated in certain limited circumstances, including expiration of the ten-year term or any term of extension, the inability to continue operations due to severe losses, force majeure, or the failure of a party to honor its obligations under the joint venture agreement or the Articles Of Association in such a manner as to impair the operations of the joint venture. The Chinese joint venture laws provide that, upon liquidation, the net asset value (based on the prevailing market value of the assets) of a joint venture shall be distributed to the parties in proportion to their respective registered capital in the joint venture.

JV RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES

In the event of a dispute between the parties, attempts will be made to resolve the dispute through friendly consultation or mediation. In the absence of a friendly resolution, the parties have agreed that the matter will first be referred to the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission in Beijing, whose decisions are final and enforceable in Chinese courts.

JV EXPROPRIATION

The Chinese joint venture laws provide that China will not nationalize or requisition enterprises in which foreign funds have been invested. However, under special circumstances, when public interest requires, enterprises with foreign capital may be legally requisitioned and appropriate compensation will be made.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business faces many risks. The risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of, or that we currently think are immaterial, may also impair our business operations or financial results. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer and the trading price of our common stock could decline.

If intensification of the current financial crisis and slowdown of global economies continues, it may promote trade protectionism which would negatively affect our export sales.

As a result of global economic conditions and little or no growth in many countries, there is a risk of increased international trade protectionism. Many countries set trade barriers which could negatively affect our export sales, as well as create potential risks for litigation in the countries to which our products are exported.

Our ability to effectively implement our business strategy depends upon, among other factors, the successful recruitment and retention of additional highly skilled and experienced management and other key personnel and we cannot assure that we will be able to hire or retain such employees.

We must attract recruit and retain a sizeable workforce of technically competent employees. Our ability to effectively implement our business strategy will depend upon, among other factors, the successful recruitment and retention of additional highly skilled and experienced management and other key personnel. These individuals are difficult to find in China and as the economy in China expands, there is increasing competition for skilled workers. We cannot assure that we will be able to find, hire or retain such employees, or even if we are able to so hire such employees, that the cost of these employees will not adversely affect our net income.

Certain of our officers and directors have existing responsibilities to other businesses in addition to our Company and as a result, conflicts of interest between us and the other activities of those persons may occur from time to time.

Certain persons serving as our officers and directors have existing responsibilities and, in the future, may have additional responsibilities, to provide management and services to other entities in addition to us. In particular, Mr. Xiao Ping Zhang, our Chief Executive Officer is an officer and a principal stockholder of Ruili Group Co. Ltd. which is engaged in the development, production and sale of various kinds of automotive parts as well as operating a hotel property and investing in the development of real property in China. The management of our joint venture is shared with the Ruili Group and therefore there may exist conflicts of interest between us and the Ruili Group in connection with its operation. Our joint venture agreement provides that the Board of Directors of the Joint Venture is comprised of three persons, two of whom are appointed by us. However, at the present time our Chief Executive Officer, Mr., Xiao Ping Zhang, is the founder of and employed at the Ruili Group. There can be no assurance that in the event of a conflict between us and the Ruili Group, our interests in the Joint Venture will not be adversely affected, or that our Company’s interests will always be fairly represented. The Ruili Group also provides certain services to the Company in the form of bank guaranties and licensing of certain technology. The Ruili Group also sells to us certain non-valve products which allow us to fill out our product lines which in 2009 represented approximately 13.6% of our sales. As a result, conflicts of interest between us and the other activities of those persons may occur from time to time. Our officers and directors are accountable to us and our shareholders as fiduciaries, which requires that such officers and directors exercise good faith and integrity in handling our affairs. However, the existing responsibilities limit the amount of time such officers and directors can spend on our affairs.

We are and will continue to be under downward pricing pressures on our products from our customers and competitors which may adversely affect our growth, profit margins and net income.

We face continuing downward pricing pressure from our customers and competitors, especially in the sales of replacement parts. To retain our existing customers and gain new ones, we must continue to keep our unit prices low. In view of our need to maintain low prices on our products, our growth, profit margins and net income will suffer if we cannot effectively continue to control our manufacturing and other costs.

Our contracts with our customers are generally short-term and do not require the purchase of a minimum amount, which may result in periods of time during which we have limited orders for our products.

Our customers generally do not provide us with firm, long-term volume purchase commitments. Although we enter into manufacturing contracts with certain of our customers who have continuing demand for a certain product, these contracts state terms such as payment method, payment period, quality standards and inspection and similar matters rather than provide firm, long-term commitments to purchase products from us. As a result of the absence of long-term contracts, we could have periods during which we have no or only limited orders for our products, but will continue to have to pay the costs to maintain our work force and our manufacturing facilities and to meet other fixed costs, without the benefit of current revenues.

We consistently face short lead times for delivery of products to customers. Failure to meet delivery deadlines in our production agreements could result in the loss of customers and damage to our reputation and goodwill.

We enter into production agreements with our customers prior to commencing production, which reduces our risk of cancellations. However, these production agreements typically contain short lead times for delivery of products, leading to production schedules that can strain our resources and reduce our profit margins on the products produced. Although we have increased our manufacturing capacity, we may lack sufficient capacity at any given time to meet all of our customers’ demands if they exceed production capacity levels. We strive for rapid response to customer demand, which can lead to reduced purchasing efficiency and increased material costs. If we are unable to sufficiently meet our customers’ demands, we may lose our customers. Moreover, failure to meet customer demands may impair our reputation and goodwill.

Because of the short lead times in our production agreements, we may not be able to accurately or effectively plan our production or supply needs.

We make significant decisions, including determining the levels of business that we will seek and accept, production schedules, component procurement commitments, facility requirements, personnel needs, and other resource requirements, based on our production agreements with our customers. Short lead times of our customers’ commitments to their own customers and the possibility of rapid changes in demand for their products reduce our ability to estimate accurately the future requirements of those customers for our products. Because many of our costs and operating expenses are fixed, a reduction in customer demand can harm our sales, margins and operating results. We may also occasionally acquire raw materials without having customer orders based on a customer’s forecast or in anticipation of an order and to secure more favorable pricing, delivery or credit terms in view of the short lead times we often have under our customers’ orders. These purchases can expose us to losses from inventory carrying costs or inventory obsolescence.

Our operations depend highly on Messrs. Xiao Ping Zhang, our Chief Executive Officer, and Bao Jian Tao, our Chief Operating Officer, and a small number of other executives and the loss of any such executive could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business.

The success of our operations depends greatly on a small number of key managers, particularly, Messrs. Xiao Ping Zhang and Bao Jian Tao. The loss of the service of Mr. Zhang, or any of the other senior executives could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. Even if we are able to find other managers to replace any of these managers, the search for such managers and the integration of such managers into our business will inevitably occur only over an extended period of time. During that time the lack of senior leadership could affect adversely our sales and manufacturing, as well as our research and development efforts.

We may not be able to respond effectively to rapid growth in demand for our products and of our manufacturing operations which could adversely affect our customer relations and our growth prospects.

If we continue to be successful in obtaining rapid market penetration of our products, we will be required to deliver large volumes of quality products to customers on a timely basis at a reasonable cost to those customers. Meeting such increased demands will require us to expand our manufacturing facilities, to increase our ability to purchase raw materials, to increase the size of our work force, to expand our quality control capabilities and to increase the scale upon which we produce products. Such demands would require more capital and working capital than we currently have available.

We may not be able to finance the development of new products which could negatively impact our competitiveness.

Our future operating results will depend to a significant extent on our ability to continue to provide new products that compare favorably on the basis of cost and performance with the products of our competitors. Some of our competitors have design and manufacturing capabilities and technologies that compete well with our products, particularly in markets outside of China. We are currently conducting research and development on a number of new products, activities requiring a substantial outlay of capital. To remain competitive, we must continue to incur significant costs in product development, equipment, facilities and invest in research and development of new products. These costs may increase, resulting in greater fixed costs and operating expenses. All of these factors create pressures on our working capital and ability to fund our current and future manufacturing activities and the expansion of our business.

We receive a significant portion of our revenues from a small number of customers which may make it difficult to negotiate attractive prices for our products and exposes us to risks of substantial losses if we lose certain of these customers.

Although no customer individually accounted for more than 10% of our revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, our three largest customers accounted for approximately 19.2% of our revenues in each of 2009 and 2008. Dependence on a few customers could make it difficult to negotiate attractive prices for our products and could expose us to the risk of substantial losses if a single major customer stops purchasing our products.

Our business depends on our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property effectively which may be difficult particularly in China.

The success of our business depends in substantial measure on the legal protection of proprietary rights in technology we hold. We hold 22 patents in China and one in the United States, and have filed applications for 26 others in China and an additional two in the United States. We claim proprietary rights in various unpatented technologies, know-how, trade secrets and trademarks relating to products and manufacturing processes. We protect our proprietary rights in our products and operations through contractual obligations, including nondisclosure agreements. If these contractual measures fail to protect our proprietary rights, any advantage those proprietary rights provide us would be negated. Monitoring infringement of intellectual property rights is difficult, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property and know-how, particularly in China and other countries in which the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as the laws of the United States. Accordingly, other parties, including competitors, may improperly duplicate our products using our proprietary technologies. Pursuing legal remedies against persons infringing our patents or otherwise improperly using our proprietary information is a costly and time consuming process that would divert management’s attention and other resources from the conduct of our other business, and could cause delays and other problems with the marketing and sales of our products, as well as delays in deliveries.

It may be difficult to find or integrate acquisitions which could have an adverse effect on our expansion plans.

An important component of our growth strategy is to invest in or acquire companies such as other automotive parts manufacturers and distribution companies. We may be unable to identify suitable investment or acquisition candidates, or to make these investments or acquisitions on a commercially reasonable basis, if at all. If we complete an investment or acquisition, we may not realize the anticipated benefits from the transaction.

Integrating an acquired company is complex, distracting and time consuming, as well as a potentially expensive process. The successful integration of an acquisition would require us to:

integrate and retain key management, sales, research and development, and other personnel;

incorporate the acquired products or capabilities into our offerings both from an engineering and sales and marketing perspective;

coordinate research and development efforts;

integrate and support pre-existing supplier, distribution and customer relationships; and

consolidate duplicate facilities and functions and combine back office accounting, order processing and support functions.

The geographic distance between the companies, the complexity of the technologies and operations being integrated and the disparate corporate cultures being combined may increase the difficulties of combining an acquired company. Acquired businesses are likely to have different standards, controls, contracts, procedures and policies, making it more difficult to implement and harmonize company-wide financial, accounting, billing, information and other systems. Management’s focus on integrating operations may distract attention from our day-to-day business and may disrupt key research and development, marketing or sales efforts.

With the automobile parts markets being highly competitive and many of our competitors having greater resources than we do, we may not be able to compete successfully.

The automobile parts industry is a highly competitive business. Criteria for our customers and potential customers include:

Quality;

Price/cost competitiveness;

Product performance;

Reliability and timeliness of delivery;

New product and technology development capability;

Degree of global and local presence;

Effectiveness of customer service; and

Overall management capability.

Depending on the particular product market (OEM or aftermarket) and geographic market, the number of our competitors varies significantly. Many of our competitors have substantially greater revenues and financial resources than we do, as well as stronger brand names, consumer recognition, business relationships with vehicle manufacturers, and geographic presence than we have, especially where we intend to enter a new geographic market. We may not be able to compete favorably and increased competition may substantially harm our competitive position.

Internationally, we face different market dynamics and competition. We may not be as successful as our competitors in generating revenues in international markets due to the lack of recognition of our brands, products or other factors. Developing product recognition overseas is expensive and time-consuming and our international expansion efforts may be more costly and less profitable than we expect. If we are not able to execute our business expansion in our target markets, our sales could decline, our margins could be negatively impacted and we could lose market share.

A disruption at our sole manufacturing site would significantly interrupt our production capabilities, which could have drastic consequences to us, including threatening our financial viability.

We currently manufacture all of our products at our sole commercial manufacturing facility, which is located near Ruian City, Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, People’s Republic of China. Accordingly, we face risks inherent in operating a single manufacturing facility, since any disruption, such as a fire, or natural disaster, could significantly interrupt our manufacturing capability. We currently do not have alternative production plans in place or disaster-recovery facilities available. In case of a disruption, we will have to establish alternative manufacturing sources. This would require substantial capital on our part, which we may not be able to obtain on commercially acceptable terms or at all. Additionally, we would likely experience months or years of production delays as we build or locate replacement facilities and seek and obtain necessary regulatory approvals. If this occurs, we will be unable to satisfy customer orders on a timely basis, if at all. Also, operating any new facilities may be more expensive than operating our current facility. For these reasons, a significant disruptive event at our manufacturing facility could have drastic consequences on us, including threatening our financial viability.

The cyclical nature of commercial vehicle production and sales could result in a reduction in automotive sales, which could adversely affect our financial liquidity.

Our sales to OEMs depend on automotive commercial vehicle production and sales by our customers, which are highly cyclical and affected by general economic conditions and other factors, including consumer spending and preferences. They also can be affected by government policies, labor relations issues, regulatory requirements, and other factors. In addition, in the last two years, the price of commercial vehicles in China has generally declined. As a result, the volume of commercial vehicle production in China has fluctuated from year to year, which has caused fluctuations in the demand for our products.

Increasing costs for manufactured components and raw materials may adversely affect our profitability.

We use a broad range of manufactured components and raw materials in our products, including castings, electronic components, finished sub-components, molded plastic parts, fabricated metal, aluminum and steel, and resins. Because it may be difficult to pass increased prices for these items on to our customers, a significant increase in the prices of our components and materials could materially increase our operating costs and adversely affect our profit margins and profitability.

Longer product life of parts may reduce aftermarket demand for some of our products.

In 2009, approximately 49.5% of our sales were to the aftermarket. The average useful life of original equipment parts has been steadily increasing in recent years due to improved quality and innovations in products and technologies. The longer product lives allow vehicle owners to replace parts of their vehicles less often. Additional increases in the average useful life of automotive parts are likely to adversely affect the demand for our aftermarket products.

We may be subject to product liability and warranty and recall claims, which may increase the costs of doing business and adversely affect our financial condition and liquidity.

We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability and warranty claims if our products actually or allegedly fail to perform as expected or the use of our products results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury and/or property damage. We have not obtained product liability insurance and therefore may be exposed to potential liability without any insurance. We cannot ensure you that we will not incur significant costs to defend these claims or that we will not experience any product liability losses in the future. In addition, if any of our designed products are or are alleged to be defective, we may be required to participate in a recall of such products. We cannot assure you that the future costs associated with providing product warranties and/or bearing the cost of repair or replacement of our products will not have an adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity.

We are subject to environmental and safety regulations, which may increase our compliance costs.

We are subject to the requirements of environmental and occupational safety and health laws and regulations in China and other countries where we sell our products. To the extent that we expect to expand our operations into other geographic areas, we will become subject to such laws and regulations of those countries as well. We cannot provide assurance that we have been or will be at all times in full compliance with all of these requirements, or that we will not incur material costs or liabilities in connection with these requirements. The capital requirements and other expenditures that may be necessary to comply with environmental requirements could increase and become a material expense of doing business.

Non-performance by our suppliers may adversely affect our operations by delaying delivery or causing delivery failures, which may negatively affect demand, sales and profitability.

We purchase various types of equipment, raw materials and manufactured component parts from our suppliers. We would be materially and adversely affected by the failure of our suppliers to perform as expected. We could experience delivery delays or failures caused by production issues or delivery of non-conforming products if our suppliers failed to perform, and we also face these risks in the event any of our suppliers becomes insolvent or bankrupt.

Our commercial viability depends significantly on our ability to operate without infringing the patents and other proprietary rights of third parties.

In the event that our technologies infringe or violate the patent or other proprietary rights of third parties, we may be prevented from pursuing product development, manufacturing or commercialization of our products that utilize such technologies. There may be patents held by others of which we are unaware that contain claims that our products or operations infringe. In addition, given the complexities and uncertainties of patent laws, there may be patents of which we know that we may ultimately be held to infringe, particularly if the claims of the patent are determined to be broader than we believe them to be. As a result, avoiding patent infringement may be difficult.

If a third party claims that we infringe its patents, any of the following may occur:

we may become liable for substantial damages for past infringement if a court decides that our technologies infringe upon a competitor’s patent;

a court may prohibit us from selling or licensing our product without a license from the patent holder, which may not be available on commercially acceptable terms or at all, or which may require us to pay substantial royalties or grant cross-licenses to our patents; and

we may have to redesign our product so that it does not infringe upon others’ patent rights, which may not be possible or could require substantial funds or time.

In addition, employees, consultants, contractors and others may use the trade secret information of others in their work for us or disclose our trade secret information to others. Either of these events could lead to disputes over the ownership of inventions derived from that information or expose us to potential damages or other penalties. If any of these events occurs, our business will suffer and the market price of our common stock will likely decline.

Our international expansion plans subject us to risks inherent in doing business internationally.

Our long-term business strategy relies on the expansion of our international sales outside China by targeting markets, such as Europe and the United States. Risks affecting our international expansion include challenges caused by distance, language and cultural differences, conflicting and changing laws and regulations, international import and export legislation, trading and investment policies, foreign currency fluctuations, the burdens of complying with a wide variety of laws and regulations, protectionist laws and business practices that favor local businesses in some countries, foreign tax consequences, higher costs associated with doing business internationally, restrictions on the export or import of technology, difficulties in staffing and managing international operations, trade and tariff restrictions, and variations in tariffs, quotas, taxes and other market barriers. These risks could harm our international expansion efforts, which could in turn materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

If we cannot continue to satisfy the Nasdaq Global Market’s listing maintenance requirements and other Nasdaq rules, our common stock could be delisted, which could negatively affect the price of our ordinary shares and your ability to sell them.

In order to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, we will be required to comply with Nasdaq rules which include rules regarding minimum shareholders’ equity, minimum share price, and certain corporate governance requirements. We may not be able to continue to satisfy the listing maintenance requirements of the Nasdaq Global Market and other applicable Nasdaq rules. If we are unable to satisfy the Nasdaq criteria for maintaining listing, our common stock could be subject to delisting. If our common stock is delisted, trading, if any, of our common stock would thereafter be conducted in the over-the-counter market, in the so-called “pink sheets” or on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.’s “electronic bulletin board.” As a consequence of any such delisting, our share price could be negatively affected and our stockholders would likely find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the prices of, our common stock.

We do not intend to pay dividends on shares of our common stock in the foreseeable future.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. Our current Board of Directors does not anticipate that we will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Instead, we intend to retain future earnings for reinvestment in our business and/or to fund future acquisitions. Determination of net income under PRC accounting standards and regulations may differ from determination under U.S. GAAP in significant aspects, such as the use of different principles for recognition of revenues and expenses. Under PRC law, our PRC joint venture is required to set aside a portion of its net income each year to fund designated statutory reserve funds.

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

We operate from facilities that are located in China. Our principal operating subsidiary, Ruili Group Ruian Auto Parts Co., Ltd., is a Sino-foreign joint venture organized under the laws of the PRC.

Changes in China’s political and economic policies and conditions could cause a substantial decline in the demand for our products and services.

Historically, we have derived a substantial portion of our revenues from China. We anticipate that China will continue to be our primary production location and an important sales base in the near future and currently almost all of our assets are located in China. While the PRC government has pursued economic reforms to transform its economy from a planned economy to a market-oriented economy since 1979, a large part of the PRC economy is still being operated under varying degrees of control by the PRC government. By imposing industrial policies and other economic measures, such as restrictions on lending to certain sectors of the economy, control of foreign exchange, taxation and restrictions on foreign participation in the domestic market of various industries, the PRC government exerts considerable direct and indirect influence on the development of the PRC economy. Many of the economic reforms carried out by the PRC government are unprecedented or experimental and are expected to be refined and improved. Other political, economic and social factors may also lead to further adjustments of the PRC reform measures. This refining and adjustment process may not necessarily have a positive effect on our operations and our future business development. For example, the PRC government has in the past implemented a number of measures intended to slow down certain segments of the PRC economy that the government believed to be overheating, including placing additional limitation on the ability of commercial banks to make loans by raising bank reserve-against-deposit rates. Historically, this restrictive policy on loans had the effect of decreasing infrastructure projects resulting in a decrease in demand for heavy trucks, thus adversely impacting our product sales to our OEM Customers. Because of the negative impact of the Chinese government policies on the truck manufacturers, we also were required to extend our normal credit terms to certain of these manufacturers. Our operating results may be materially and adversely affected by changes in the PRC economic and social conditions and by changes in the policies of the PRC government, such as measures to control inflation, changes in the rates or method of taxation and the imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion.

Changes in foreign exchange regulation in China may affect our ability to pay dividends in foreign currencies.

Currently, the RMB is not a freely convertible currency and the restrictions on currency exchanges in China may limit our ability to use revenues generated in RMB to fund our business activities outside China or to make dividends or other payments in U.S. dollars. The PRC government strictly regulates conversion of RMB into foreign currencies. Over the years, the PRC government has significantly reduced its control over routine foreign exchange transactions under current accounts, including trade-and service-related foreign exchange transactions, foreign debt service and payment of dividends. In accordance with the existing foreign exchange regulations in China, our PRC joint venture may pay dividends in foreign currencies, without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements. The PRC government may, however, at its discretion, restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions and prohibit us from converting our RMB-denominated earnings into foreign currencies. If this occurs, our PRC joint venture may not be able to pay us dividends in foreign currency without prior approval from SAFE. In addition, conversion of RMB for most capital account items, including direct investments, is still subject to government approval in China and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items.

Fluctuation in the value of RMB could adversely affect the value of, and dividends payable on, our shares in foreign currency terms.

The value of RMB is subject to changes in PRC government policies and depends to a large extent on China’s domestic and international economic, financial and political developments, as well as the currency’s supply and demand in the local market. For over a decade from 1994, the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies, including the U.S. dollar, was based on exchange rates set and published daily by the People’s Bank of China, the PRC central bank, based on the previous day’s interbank foreign exchange market rates in China and exchange rates on the world financial markets. The official exchange rate for the conversion of RMB into U.S. dollars remained stable until RMB was revalued in July 2005 and allowed to fluctuate by reference to a basket of foreign currencies, including the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, RMB will be permitted to fluctuate within a band against a basket of foreign currencies. There remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt a substantially more liberalized currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation in the value of RMB against the U.S. dollar. Further revaluations of RMB against the U.S. dollar may also occur in the future.

The uncertain legal environment in China could limit the legal protections available to you.

The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike the common-law system, the civil law system is a system in which decided legal cases have little precedential value. In the late 1970s, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations to provide general guidance on economic and business practices in China and to regulate foreign investment. Our PRC joint venture is a Sino-foreign joint venture and is subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in China in general and laws and regulations applicable to foreign-invested enterprises in particular. China has made significant progress in the promulgation of laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. However, the promulgation of new laws, changes of existing laws and abrogation of local regulations by national laws may have a negative impact on our business and prospects. In addition, as these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively recent and because of the limited volume of published cases and their non-binding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of those laws, regulations and legal requirements involve significant uncertainties. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to foreign investors, including you. For example, it is not clear if a PRC court would enforce in China a foreign court decision brought by you against us in shareholders’ derivative actions.

Moreover, the enforceability of contracts in China, especially with governmental entities, is relatively uncertain. If counterparties repudiated our contracts or defaulted on their obligations, we might not have adequate remedies. Such uncertainties or inability to enforce our contracts could materially and adversely affect our revenues and earnings.

Our primary source of funds for dividend and other distributions from our operating subsidiary in China is subject to various legal and contractual restrictions and uncertainties as well as the practice of such subsidiary in declaring dividends, and our ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to our shareholders is negatively affected by those restrictions, uncertainties and dividend practices.

We conduct our core business operations through our PRC joint venture. As a result, our profits available for distribution to our shareholders are dependent on the profits available for distribution from our PRC joint venture. Under current PRC law, our PRC joint venture is regarded as a foreign-invested enterprise in China. Although dividends paid by foreign invested enterprises are not subject to any PRC corporate withholding tax, PRC law permits payment of dividends only out of net income as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Determination of net income under PRC accounting standards and regulations may differ from determination under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in significant aspects, such as the use of different principles for recognition of revenues and expenses. Under PRC law, our PRC joint venture is required to set aside 10% of its net income each year to fund a designated statutory reserve fund until such funds reach 50% of registered share capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. As a result, our primary internal source of funds for dividend payments is subject to these and other legal and contractual restrictions and uncertainties, which in turn may limit or impair our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders although we do not presently anticipate paying any dividends. Moreover, any transfer of funds from us to our PRC joint venture, either as a shareholder loan or as an increase in registered capital, is subject to registration with or approval by PRC governmental authorities. These limitations on the flow of funds between us and our PRC joint venture could restrict our ability to act in response to changing market conditions. Additionally to date, our PRC Joint Venture has not distributed any profits and does not anticipate doing so for the near term.

PRC’s economic reform policies, nationalization or domestic or global economic conditions could result in a total investment loss in our common stock.

We will be able to capitalize on economic reforms;

The Chinese government will continue its pursuit of economic reform policies;

The economic policies, even if pursued, will be successful;

Economic policies will not be significantly altered from time to time; and

Business operations in China will not become subject to the risk of nationalization.

There can be no assurance that the reforms to China’s economic system will continue or that we will not be adversely affected by changes in China’s political, economic, and social conditions and by changes in policies of the Chinese government, such as changes in laws and regulations, measures which may be introduced to control inflation, changes in the rate or method of taxation, changes affecting currency conversion and remittance abroad, and changes in tariffs and other import controls. A material change in reforms on economic policy could cause instability or other harmful results.

Because our principal operating company is organized under the laws of China, and substantially all of our assets are located in China, you may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in China based on U.S. or other foreign law against our management and us.

Our joint venture operating company is incorporated under the laws of China and substantially all of our assets are located in China. In addition, all of our directors and executive officers reside within China, and substantially all of the assets of these persons are located within China. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside China upon certain directors or executive officers, including with respect to matters arising under U.S. federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws. Moreover, China does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts with the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan or many other countries. As a result, recognition and enforcement in China of judgments of a court in the United States and any of the other jurisdictions mentioned above in relation to any matter may be difficult or impossible. Furthermore, an original action may be brought in China against us, our directors, managers, or executive officers only if the actions are not required to be arbitrated by Chinese law and only if the facts alleged in the complaint give rise to a cause of action under PRC law. In connection with any such original action, a Chinese court may award civil liability, including monetary damages.

Any occurrence of serious infectious diseases, such as recurrence of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) causing widespread public health problems, could adversely affect our business operations.

A renewed outbreak of SARS or other widespread public health problems in China, where a substantial portion of our revenue is derived, and in Ruian City, where our operations are headquartered, could have a negative effect on our operations. Our operations may be impacted by a number of public health-related factors, including the following:

quarantines or closures of our factories or subsidiaries which would severely disrupt its operations;

the sickness or death of the key officers and employees; and

general slowdown in the Chinese economy resulting from an outbreak.

Any of the foregoing events or other unforeseen consequences of public health problems could result in reduction in net sales of our products.

It is likely that China will adopt additional environmental regulations and additional or modified regulations relating to the manufacture, transportation, storage, use and disposal of materials used to manufacture our products or restricting disposal of waste, which would likely increase our operating costs.

National, provincial and local laws impose various environmental controls on the manufacture of automotive parts and/or of certain materials used in the manufacture of automotive parts. Although we believe that our operations are in substantial compliance with current environmental regulations, there can be no assurance that changes in such laws and regulations will not impose costly compliance requirements on us or otherwise subject us to future liabilities. In addition, China is experiencing substantial problems with environmental pollution. Accordingly, it is likely that the national, provincial and local governmental agencies will adopt stricter pollution controls. Any such regulation relating to the manufacture, transportation, storage, use and disposal of materials used to manufacture our products or restricting disposal of any waste would likely increase our operating costs.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

The market price for our common stock may be volatile which could result in a complete loss of your investment.

The market price for our common stock may be volatile and subject to fluctuations in response to factors including the following:

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly operating results,

announcements of new products by us or our competitors,

changes in financial estimates by securities analysts,

conditions in the automotive market,

changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other companies involved in the production of automotive parts,

announcements by our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments,

additions or departures of key personnel, or

potential litigation.

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We may issue additional shares of our capital stock to raise additional cash for working capital. If we issue additional shares of our capital stock, our stockholders will experience dilution in their respective percentage ownership in us.

We may seek to further expand our operations and therefore we may issue additional shares of our capital stock to raise additional cash for working capital. If we issue additional shares of our capital stock, our stockholders will experience dilution in their respective percentage ownership in us.

A large portion of our common stock is controlled by a small number of stockholders and as a result, these stockholders are able to influence the outcome of stockholder votes on various matters.

A large portion of our common stock is held by a small number of stockholders. Mr. Xiao Ping Zhang, our Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and his brother, Xiao Feng Zhang, a member of our Board of directors, hold approximately 49.7% and 6.2% as of December 31, 2009, respectively, of the Company’s common stock. As a result, these stockholders are able to control the outcome of stockholder votes on various matters, including the election of directors and other corporate transactions including business combinations.

The occurrence of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock, or the perception that these sales could occur, may affect our stock price and could impair our ability to obtain capital through an offering of equity securities. This would have an adverse affect on our business by restricting access to working capital to fund growth and operations. Furthermore, the comparatively small public float of our common stock could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We are responsible for the indemnification of our officers and directors which could result in substantial expenditures, which we may be unable to recoup.

Our Bylaws provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on behalf of us. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures, which we may be unable to recoup.

Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley act costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, requires additional personnel and requires hundreds of man hours of effort, and there can be no assurance that we will have the personnel, financial resources or expertise to continue to meet requirements of these regulations.

The US Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002, better known as Sarbanes-Oxley, was the most sweeping legislation to affect US publicly traded companies in 70 years. Sarbanes-Oxley created a set of complex and burdensome regulations. Compliance with such regulations imposes substantial burdens in terms of financial expense and commitment of personnel. There can be no assurance that we will have the personnel, financial resources or expertise to continue to meet requirements of these regulations.

Additionally, amounts available for dividends are dependent on the profits available for distribution from our PRC joint venture. Under current PRC law, our PRC joint venture is regarded as a foreign invested enterprise in China. Although dividends paid by foreign invested enterprises are not subject to any PRC corporate withholding tax, PRC law permits payment of dividends only out of net income as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Determination of net income under PRC accounting standards and regulations may differ from determination under U.S. GAAP in significant aspects, such as the use of different principles for recognition of revenues and expenses. Under PRC law, our PRC joint venture is required to set aside a portion of its net income each year to fund designated statutory reserve funds. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management. This report includes forward-looking statements. Generally, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “continue,” and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth in this report and other reports or documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those presented. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and other financial information contained elsewhere in this Form 10K.

OVERVIEW

On May 10, 2004, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Fairford Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong limited liability company (“Fairford”). Until we acquired Fairford, we had only nominal assets and liabilities and limited business operations. Although Fairford became a wholly-owned subsidiary following the acquisition, because the acquisition resulted in a change of control, the acquisition was recorded as a “reverse merger” whereby Fairford is considered to be the accounting acquirer. As such, the following results of operations are those of Fairford.

Fairford was organized in Hong Kong as a limited liability company on November 3, 2003. Fairford owns 90% of the equity interest of Ruili Group Ruian Auto Parts Co., Ltd., a Sino-foreign joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) established pursuant to the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). The Joint Venture is a joint venture between our wholly-owned subsidiary, Fairford, and Ruili Group Co., Ltd. (the “Ruili Group”).

The Ruili Group was incorporated in the PRC in 1987 to specialize in the development, production and sale of various kinds of automotive parts. Its headquarters are located in Ruian City of Wenzhou Area, one of the leading automotive parts manufacturing centers of China with more than 1400 auto parts manufacturing companies. Its major product lines include valves for air brake systems, auto metering products, auto electric products, anti-lock brake systems and retarders. Some of those products were developed and are manufactured through affiliated companies of Ruili Group. Due to its leading position in the industry, the Chairman of the Ruili Group, Mr. Xiao Ping Zhang, has been elected as the Chairman of Wenzhou Auto Parts Association, one of the leading auto parts trade associations in China. Mr. Zhang is also Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Joint Venture was established in the PRC as a Sino-foreign joint venture company with limited liability by the Ruili Group and Fairford. Fairford and Ruili Group contributed 90% and 10%, respectively, of the paid-in capital in the aggregate amount of approximately $43.4 million.

In connection with its formation, effective January 19, 2004 the Joint Venture acquired the business of the Ruili Group relating to the manufacture and sale of various kinds of valves for automotive brake systems and related operations (the “Transferred Business”). This was accomplished by the transfer from the Ruili Group to Fairford of the relevant assets and liabilities of the Transferred Business including trade receivables, inventories and machinery, and the assumption of short and long term borrowings, at a consideration of approximately $6.39million.

The consideration was based on a valuation by an independent PRC valuation firm. Fairford then contributed these assets and liabilities as a capital contribution for its 90% interest in the Joint Venture. The Ruili Group also transferred inventory as its capital contribution for its 10% interest in the Joint Venture. The assets and liabilities transferred to the Joint Venture by Fairford and the Ruili Group represented all the relevant assets and liabilities of the Transferred Business.

Pursuant to the formation of the Joint Venture, on January 17, 2004, the Ruili Group and Fairford signed a binding Joint Venture agreement (the “JV Agreement”). Pursuant to the JV Agreement, the Board of Directors consists of three directors; Fairford has the right to designate two members of the board and the Ruili Group has the right to designate one member. The majority of the Board has decision making authority with respect to operating matters. As a result, Fairford maintains operating control over the Joint Venture.

The transactions were accounted for as a reverse spin-off in accordance with EITF 02-11 “Accounting for Spin-offs.” Accordingly SORL Auto Parts, Inc. was deemed to be the “spinnor” for accounting purposes.

In December 2006, through Fairford, SORL invested a further approximately $32.67 million in its operating subsidiary- the Joint Venture. To maintain its 10% shareholding in the Joint Venture, the Ruili Group increased its capital investment by approximately $3.63 million. SORL Auto Parts, Inc. continues to hold a 90% controlling interest in the operating subsidiary.

As a result of the foregoing, through Fairford’s 90% interest in the Joint Venture, the Company manufactures and distributes automotive air brake systems, air controlling systems and other related components in China and internationally for use primarily in different types of vehicles, such as trucks and buses. There are forty categories of valves with over one thousand different specifications in air brake systems, air controlling systems and others. Management believes that it is the largest manufacturer of automotive air brake systems for commercial vehicles in China.

On November 11, 2009, we entered into a joint venture agreement with MGR, a Hong Kong-based global auto parts distribution specialist firm, and with a Taiwanese investor. The new joint venture was named SORL International Holding, Ltd. (the "SIH"). SORL holds a 60% interest in the joint venture. SIH was primarily devoted to expanding SORL's international sales network in Asia-Pacific and creating a larger footprint in Europe, the Middle East and Africa with a target to create a truly global distribution network. Based in Hong Kong, SIH seeks to open up and establish channels of distribution in international markets with SORL's primary products, including spring brake chambers, clutch servos, air dryers, relay valves and hand brake valves.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with those accounting principles requires us to make judgments and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Those judgments and estimates have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements because they result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We periodically re-evaluate our judgments and estimates that are based upon historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.

We believe that the following critical accounting policies set forth below involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We evaluate these policies on an ongoing basis, based upon historical results and experience, consultation with experts, trends and other methods we consider reasonable in the particular circumstances, as well as our forecasts as to how these might change in the future.

WARRANTIES

Estimated product warranty expenses are accrued in cost of goods sold at the time the related sales are recognized. We base our estimate on historical trends of units sold and payment amounts, combined with our current understanding of the status of existing claims and discussions with our customers.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is calculated on the weighted-average basis and includes all costs to acquire and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The Company evaluates the net realizable value of its inventories on a regular basis and records a provision for loss to reduce the computed weighted-average cost if it exceeds the net realizable value.

INCOME TAXES

Taxes are calculated in accordance with taxation principles currently effective in the PRC. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

Under a Tax Holiday in PRC, the Company is granted an exemption from income taxes for two years commencing from the first cumulative profit-making year and a 50% reduction in the income tax rates for the following three years. Fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 was the first cumulative profit-making year. As a result of the Joint Venture obtaining its Sino-foreign joint venture status in 2004, in accordance with applicable PRC tax regulations, the Joint Venture was exempted from PRC income tax in both fiscal 2004 and 2005. Thereafter, the Joint Venture is entitled to a tax concession of 50% of the applicable income tax rate of 26.4% for the two years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007. With the new PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, effective on 1st January 2008, the China’s enterprises are generally subject to a PRC income tax rate of 25% and the Joint Venture is entitled to a tax concession of 50% of the applicable income tax rate of 25% for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The above taxation exemption was superceded, because the Joint Venture has been awarded the Chinese government's "High-Tech Enterprise" designation. The High-Tech Enterprise certificate is valid for three years and provides for a reduced tax rate of 15% for years 2009 through 2011. So, the effective income tax rate will be 15% for years 2009 through 2011.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

In accordance with the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 103, revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer including factors such as when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exits, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed and determinable, and collection is probable. The Company generally records sales upon shipment of product to customers and transfer of title under standard commercial terms. Revenue consists of the invoice value for the sale of goods and services net of value-added tax (“VAT”), rebates and discounts and returns. The Company nets sales return in gross revenue, i.e., the revenue shown in the income statement is the net sales. The Company is subject to the following surtaxes, which are recorded as deductions from gross sales: Education Tax.

The Company does not receive revenue for shipping and handling costs to customers. Shipping and handling expenses incurred by the Company are included in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations with respect to the financial condition of its creditors, but does not require collateral. In order to determine the value of the Company’s accounts receivable, the Company records a provision for doubtful accounts to cover probable credit losses. Management reviews and adjusts this allowance periodically based on historical experience and its evaluation of the collection of outstanding accounts receivable.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to year ended December 31, 2008:

	Years Ended December 31,
Sales	2009		%			2008		%
	(U.S. dollars in million)
Air brake systems & related components	$	108.0		86.4	%	$	99.7		76.2	%
Non-valve products	$	17.0		13.6	%	$	31.2		23.8	%

Total	$	125.0		100	%	$	130.9		100	%

Sales consisted of air brake systems and related components manufactured by SORL and sold to Chinese domestic OEM and Chinese aftermarket customers and international customers; as well as distribution of non-valve auto parts sourced from related parties.

Total net sales were $124,979,741 and $130,893,422 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, representing a decrease of $5.9 million or 4.5% year over year. A breakdown of net sales revenue for our three principal markets, Chinese domestic OEM market, Chinese domestic aftermarket and international markets, in 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

	Years Ended December 31,
			Percent of
	2009		Total sales			2008		Percent of Total sales			Percentage Change
	(U.S. dollars in million)
China OEM market	$	63.1		50.5	%	$	49.0		37.4	%		28.8	%
China Aftermarket	$	31.5		25.2	%	$	35.5		27.1	%		-11.3	%
International market	$	30.4		24.3	%	$	46.4		35.5	%		-34.5	%

Total	$	125.0		100	%	$	130.9		100	%		-4.5	%

With the approaching of implementation of the China III emission standard beginning July 1, 2008, the consumption of trucks equipped with China II engines was significantly spurred before the policy was enforced. This increased the output and sales volume of vehicles made in China in the first half of 2008. As a result, our Chinese OEM sales achieved a strong growth in the first half year of 2008. With the worsening financial crisis, our OEM sales sharply decreased in the second half year of 2008.

Global financial conditions, involving a worldwide macroeconomic decline and weak global auto market, caused the demand for our products to decline during the first half of 2009. However, the Chinese’s government’s 4 trillion RMB stimulus package, which positively affected the development of China’s automobile industry, materially benefited our results in the second half of 2009. Further, we promoted our integrated system and modular supplies of air brake systems to our OEM customers and we increasingly focused on the light duty, bus and agricultural vehicle market in 2009. As a result of these positive factors, our sales to the Chinese OEM market increased by $14.1 million or 28.8% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as compared with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we generated revenues of $31.5 million from Chinese domestic aftermarket sales, a decrease of $4.0 million, or 11.3% from the year ended December 31, 2008. Accelerated replacement of medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks, and rising new vehicle usage in recent years resulted in the decreased sales in aftermarket in the short term.

The global financial crisis has negatively affected our international customers, and caused local currencies to depreciate against the US dollar, while the lack of confidence in the growth of the world macro-economy has made our customers decrease their inventories in order to lower their risk. Consequently, our export sales decreased by $16.0 million or approximately 34.5% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, from $46.4 million for 2008.

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 decreased to $89.5 million from $97.2 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, a $7.7 million or 7.9 % decrease, consistent with the decrease in revenues.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, increased by approximately $1.8 million or 5.3% to $35.5 million from $33.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Gross margin increased by approximately 2.7 percentage points, from 25.7% in 2008 to 28.4% in 2009.

We believe that the improvements in gross profits and gross margin reflect our focus in 2009 on increasing production efficiency, improving the technologies of products, and improving our product portfolio. We believe that our continued expansion to higher-profit new products will also help us to maintain or increase our gross profit margins.

SELLING EXPENSES

Selling expenses were $8,137,377 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $8,423,124 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $285,747 or 3.4%. The decrease was mainly due to the decreased transportation expense as a result of decreased international sales. As a percentage of sales revenue, selling expenses increased to 6.5% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to 6.4% for the same period in 2008.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses were $7,282,110 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $6,075,404 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $1,206,706 or 19.9%. As a percentage of sales revenue, general and administrative expenses increased to 5.8% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to 4.6% for the same period in 2008. The increase was mainly due to increased staff salary and welfare costs, rent expenses, travel expenses and business entertainment expenses, which together increased by $987,777 as compared with the total for these items during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE

Research and development expense was $4,335,464 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as compared with $3,219,895 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $1,115,569. The Company will continue to invest in new product development, particularly in upgrading traditional valve products and in developing electronically controlled products.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $3.0 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, compared with depreciation and amortization expense of $2.71 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to the addition of purchased production equipment.

FINANCIAL EXPENSE

Financial expense mainly consists of foreign exchange loss. Financial expense for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $721,560 to $131,080 from $852,640 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, which was mainly due to the lesser exchange loss incurred as compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

OTHER INCOME

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, other income included subsidy income of $190,167 compared with $307,520 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Through local governments, these subsidies were provided to the Company as economic incentives to secure business commitments and no repayment is required.

INCOME TAX

The Joint Venture is registered in the PRC, and is therefore subject to state and local income taxes within the PRC at the applicable tax rate on taxable income as reported in the PRC statutory financial statements in accordance with relevant income tax laws. According to applicable tax laws regarding Sino-Foreign Joint Ventures, the Joint Venture was exempt from income taxes in the PRC for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Thereafter, the Joint Venture was entitled to a 50% income tax deduction for each of the three years ended December 31, 2008. Thus, the Joint Venture was exempted from PRC income tax in both fiscal 2004 and 2005, and entitled to a tax concession of 50% of the applicable income tax rate of 26.4% for the two years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007. With the new PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, effective on 1st January 2008, China’s enterprises are generally subject to a PRC income tax rate of 25% and the Joint Venture was entitled to a tax concession of 50% of the applicable income tax rate of 25% for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The Company increased its investment in the Joint Venture as a result of its financing in December, 2006. In accordance with the Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China on Foreign-invested Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises, the Joint Venture was eligible for additional preferential tax treatment for the years 2007 and 2008. In those years, the Joint Venture was entitled to an income tax exemption on all pre-tax income generated by the Company above its pre-tax income generated in the fiscal year 2006. In 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Joint Venture will enjoy a 50% exemption from the applicable income tax rate of 25% on any pre-tax income above its 2006 pre-tax income. The above taxation exemption was superceded, because the Joint Venture has been awarded the Chinese government's "High-Tech Enterprise" designation. The High-Tech Enterprise certificate is valid for three years and provides for a reduced tax rate of 15% for years 2009 through 2011. So, the effective income tax rate will be 15% for years 2009 through 2011.

In addition, the Joint Venture was entitled to a PRC tax credit equal to 40% of the additional investment in the Joint Venture used to purchase eligible domestic equipment, subject to certain limitations.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Joint Venture received an abovementioned income tax benefit of $694,746 and $377,147 respectively, which has been reflected as a reduction to current income tax expense. As a result of the factors discussed above, income tax expense was $1,796,622 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 compared with $1,586,503 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $210,119.

STOCK—BASED COMPENSATION

On March 1, 2006, the Board of Directors approved a total of 60,000 options to be issued to the four independent members of the Board of Directors. The contractual term of the options is three years. Total deferred stock-based compensation expenses related to stock options amounted to $178,904. This amount is amortized over the three year vesting period in a manner consistent with FASB ASC 505-50. The amortization of deferred stock-based compensation for these equity arrangements were $9,935 and $59,636 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As of December 31, 2009, the 60,000 options had expired unexercised.

On June 20, 2007, the Company granted to its previous senior manager of investor relations, David Ming He, options to purchase 4,128 shares of its common stock with an exercise price of $7.25 per share. In accordance with the agreement, the option became vested and exercisable immediately on the date thereof. Total deferred stock-based compensation expenses related to the 4,128 stock options granted amounted to $23,201. This amount was charged to G&A during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. On November 13, 2009, David Ming He exercised the options on a cashless basis and received 460 shares of common stock, based on a formula provided for in the initial grant.

On January 5, 2006, the Company issued 100,000 warrants for financial services to be provided by Maxim Group LLC and Chardan Capital Markets, LLC, with an exercise price of $6.25 per share. In accordance with the common stock purchase warrant agreement, the warrants became vested and exercisable immediately on the date thereof. As set forth in the agreement, the Company retained Maxim Group LLC and Chardan Capital Markets, LLC as its exclusive financial advisors and investment bankers for a period of twelve months from the date of January 5, 2006. The agreement has now expired. Total expense associated with the 100,000 warrants amounted to $299,052, which, consistent with FASB ASC 505-50, was recognized during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

On November 9, 2009, Maxim Group LLC transferred 35,000 warrants to OTA LLC and 35,000 warrants to Maxim Partners, LLC respectively. OTA LLC exercised the warrants on a cashless basis on November 12, 2009 and received 6,609 shares of common stock, based on a formula provided for in the initial grant. Maxim Partners, LLC and Chardan Capital Markets, LLC transferred 35,000 warrants and 30,000 warrants to OTA LLC on December 15, 2009 and December 11, 2009, respectively. OTA LLC exercised the warrants on a cashless basis on December 18, 2009 and received 18,598 shares of common stock, based on a formula provided for in the initial grant.

There were no options or warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2009.

Although the Company anticipates future issuances of stock awards could have a material impact on reported net income in future financial statements, we do not expect them to have a material impact on future cash flow.

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARIES

Non-controlling interest in subsidiaries represents a 10% non-controlling interest in the Chinese located Joint Venture and 40% non-controlling interest in the Hong Kong located Joint Venture. Net income attributable to non-controlling interest in subsidiaries amounted to $1,376,791 and $1,381,230 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO STOCKHOLDERS

The net income attributable to stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 increased by $385,206, to $12,756,066 from $12,370,860 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 due to the factors discussed above. Earnings per share (“EPS”), both basic and diluted, for 2009 and 2008, were $0.70 and $0.68 per share, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

OPERATING - Net cash provided from operating activities was $9,703,198 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $9,673,487 of net cash provided by operating activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $29,711.

Our primary cash flows from net income were realized through the sale of automotive parts. Net income after deducting non-cash items provided cash inflows at approximately $17.2 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $16.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $0.6 million. Cash flows from accounts receivable and notes receivable decreased by approximately $13.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 as compared with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, as a result of the high level of accounts receivable and notes receivable at December 31, 2009. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to the increase of the sales for the OEM market. The ending balance of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2009 was consistent with our normal practice. Additionally, most of accounts receivable were collected through bank acceptance during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, causing the increase in notes receivable. The Company established more distribution warehouses close to major OEM customers and maintained more stock in those warehouses to ensure timely deliveries at the request of major OEM customers. As a result, the Company maintained a high inventory level as of the end of fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Because we normally require certain overseas and after-market customers to pay in advance before delivering goods, and due to the decreased sales in the overseas and after-market segments, cash flow generated from deposits received from customers decreased approximately $6.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 as compared with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. These declines in cash flow from operations were largely offset by cash flows in 2009 associated with inventory and other current assets reductions, and changes in liabilities.

At December 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $10,255,259, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $7,795,987 at December 31, 2008. The Company had working capital of $75,909,745 at December 31, 2009, as compared to working capital of $61,586,125 at December 31, 2008, reflecting current ratios of 5.05:1 and 5.36:1, respectively.

INVESTING - During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Company expended net cash of $7,252,359 in investing activities, mainly including the funds for acquisition of new equipment to support the growth of business. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Company utilized $3,136,574 in investing activities.

FINANCING –Net cash used by financing activities was $3,482,360 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, while cash flow from financing activities were positive, in an immaterial amount, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, due to the fact that during fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Company repaid all its outstanding debt.

The Company’s management has taken a number of steps to restructure its customer base and phase out accounts that failed to make prompt payment. The Company also placed more emphasis on accounts receivable collection. In addition, the Company maintains good relationships with local banks. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, including the proceeds of our February 2010 stock offering, and anticipated cash flow generated from operations and our bank lines of credit, will be sufficient to finance our working capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET AGREEMENTS

At December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures or have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company did not have any material market risk with respect to such factors as commodity prices, equity prices, and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive investments.

Although our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, the functional currency of Joint Venture is RMB. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB. If the RMB depreciates against the U.S. dollar, the value of our Renminbi revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. dollar financial statements will decline. In recent years, the RMB has been appreciating against the U.S. dollar.

Assets and liabilities of our operating subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, their equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rate and their income and expenses items are translated using the average rate for the period. Any resulting exchange differences are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. The Company is adopting such steps as the diversification of currencies used in export sales, and the negotiation of export contracts with fixed exchange rates to reduce the risk of foreign exchange changes.

As the Company is currently free of indebtedness for borrowed money, we are not presently exposed to interest rate risk. However, to the extent that the Company borrows money in the future, an increase in market interest rate would cause a commensurate increase in the interest expense related to such borrowings.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

SORL Auto Parts, Inc. (“the Company”) is principally engaged in the manufacture and distribution of automotive air brake systems, air controlling systems and other related components for different types of commercial vehicles, such as trucks, and buses, through its 90% ownership of Ruili Group Ruian Auto Parts Company Limited (“Ruian”) in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). The Company distributes products both in China and internationally under SORL trademarks. The Company’s product range includes 40 categories of brake systems with over 1000 different specifications.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ACCOUNTING METHOD

The Company uses the accrual method of accounting for financial statement and tax return purposes.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SORL Auto Parts, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles requires 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 the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes its best estimate of the outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Changes in estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes available to management. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, prepaid expenses, deposits and other current assets, short-term bank borrowings, and other payables and accruals, the carrying amounts approximate fair values due to their short maturities.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. The Company conducts business with its related parties in the ordinary course of business. All transactions have been recorded at fair market value of the goods and services exchanged.

FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company is exposed to the following risk factors:

(i) Credit risks - The Company has policies in place to ensure that sales of products are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations with respect to the financial condition of its creditors, but does not require collateral. In order to determine the value of the Company’s accounts receivable, the Company records a provision for doubtful accounts to cover probable credit losses. Management reviews and adjusts this allowance periodically based on historical experience and its evaluation of the collection of outstanding accounts receivable. The Company has two customers that each respectively account for more than 5.5% of its total revenues for the period. The Company also has a concentration of credit risk due to geographic sales as a majority of its products are marketed and sold in the PRC.

(ii) Liquidity risks - Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and ability to close out market positions.

(iii) Interest rate risk - The interest rate and terms of repayments of short-term and long-term bank borrowings are approximately 5.4% per annum. The Company’s income and cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Company has no significant interest-bearing assets. The Company’s policy is to maintain all of its borrowings in fixed rate instruments.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost computed on a weighted-average basis. Cost includes all costs of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is 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. The Company has made salability evaluation and did not find material impairment as December 31, 2009.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The initial cost of the asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the respective assets as follows:

Category	Estimated Useful Life(Years)

Buildings		10-20

Machinery and equipment		5-10

Electronic equipment		5

Motor Vehicles		5-10

Significant improvements and betterments are capitalized where it is probable that the expenditure resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset beyond its originally assessed standard of performance. Routine repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Gains and losses on disposal of fixed assets are recognized in the income statement based on the net disposal proceeds less the carrying amount of the assets.

LAND USE RIGHTS

According to the law of China, the government owns all the land in China. Companies or individuals are authorized to possess and use the land only through land use rights granted by the Chinese government. Land use rights are being amortized using the straight-line method over its useful lives. The land use rights is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 45 years.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets, including intangible assets, are reviewed periodically for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets represent mainly the patent of technology, plus the computer software. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Intangible assets are recognized if it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any impairment losses. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR BAD DEBTS

The Company presents accounts receivables, net of allowances for doubtful accounts and returns, to ensure accounts receivable are not overstated due to uncollection. Accounts receivables generated from credit sales have general credit terms of 90 days for domestic aftermarket customers.

The allowances are calculated based on a detailed review of certain individual customer accounts, historical rates and an estimation of the overall economic conditions affecting the Company’s customer base. The Company reviews a customer’s credit history before extending credit. If the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

The Company will write off the uncollectible receivables once the customers are bankrupt or there is a remote possibility that the Company will collect the outstanding balance. The write-off must be reported to the local tax authorities and receive official approval from them. To date, the Company has not written off any account receivable.

NOTES RECEIVABLE

Notes receivable generally due within 30 to 60 days are issued by some customers to pay certain outstanding receivable balances to the Company with specific payment terms and definitive due dates. Notes receivable do not bear interest.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer including factors such as when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exits, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed and determinable, and collection is probable. Revenue consists of the invoice value for the sale of goods and services net of value-added tax (“VAT”), rebates and discounts and returns. The Company nets sales return in gross revenue, i.e., the revenue shown in the income statement is the net sales.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provision of FASB ASC 740-10 (Prior authoritative literature: Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,”) whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary; to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The Company maintains its books and accounting records in Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency of the PRC, The Company’s functional currency is also RMB. The Company has adopted FASB ASC 830-30 (Prior authoritative literature: SFAS No.52) in translating financial statement amounts from RMB to the Company’s reporting currency, United States dollars (“US$”). All assets and liabilities are translated at the current rate. The shareholders’ equity accounts are translated at appropriate historical rate. Revenue and expenses are translated at the weighted average rates in effect on the transaction dates.

Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are include in the results of operations as incurred.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB ASC 505-50 (Prior authoritative literature: Statement No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”). FASB ASC 505-50 revises FASB Statement No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. FASB ASC 505-50requires all public and non-public companies to measure and recognize compensation expense for all stock-based payments for services received at the grant-date fair value, with the cost recognized over the vesting period (or the requisite service period). The Company has adopted FASB ASC 505-50as of January 1, 2005. Refer to Note 20: stock compensation plan for additional information on our stock option plan and related stock-based compensation expense.

EMPLOYEES’ BENEFITS

Mandatory contributions are made to Government’s health, retirement benefit and unemployment schemes at the statutory rates in force during the period, based on gross salary payments. The cost of these payments is charged to the statement of income in the same period as the related salary costs.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

Research and development costs are classified as general and administrative expenses and are expensed as incurred.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS

Shipping and handling cost are classified as selling expenses and are expensed as incurred.

ADVERTISING COSTS

Advertising costs are classified as selling expenses and are expensed as incurred.

WARRANTY CLAIMS

The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties when the products are sold. Such estimates of product warranties were based on, among other things, historical experience, product changes, material expenses, service and transportation expenses arising from the manufactured product. Estimates will be adjusted on the basis of actual claims and circumstances.

PURCHASE DISCOUNTS

Purchase discounts, if applicable, are netted in the cost of goods sold.

LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Company has adopted FASB ASC 840 (Prior authoritative literature: FASB Statement No. 13, “Accounting for Leases”). If the lease terms meet one or all of the following four criteria, it will be classified as a capital lease, otherwise, it is an operating lease: (1) The lease transfers the title to the lessee at the end of the term; (2) the lease contains a bargain purchase option; (3) the lease term is equal to 75% of the estimated economic life of the leased property or more; (4) the present value of the minimum lease payment in the term equals or exceeds 90% of the fair value of the leased property.

RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STANDARDS

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB ASC 810-10-65 (Prior authoritative literature: FASB Statement No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No.51") of which the objective is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards by requiring all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the same way - as an entity in the consolidated financial statements. Moreover, FASB ASC 810-10-65 eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions.

FASB ASC 810-10-65 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of these standards has not had any significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 860-10-05 (Prior authoritative literature: FASB Statement No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”). FASB ASC 860-10-05 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. FASB ASC 860-10-05 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. As such, the Company is required to adopt this standard in January 2010. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FASB ASC 860-10-05 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 810-10-05 (Prior authoritative literature: FASB Statement No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”). FASB ASC 810-10-05 improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to address (1) the effects on certain provisions of prior authoritative literature FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in prior authoritative literature SFAS 166 and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of prior authoritative literature Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. FASB ASC 810-10-05 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. As such, the Company is required to adopt this standard in January 2010. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of FASB ASC 810-10-05 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 105-10 (Prior authoritative literature: FASB Statement No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”). FASB ASC 105-10 replaces prior authoritative literature SFAS 162 and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. FASB ASC 105-10 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company does not believe that the adoption of FASB ASC 105-10 has had a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES

The Joint Venture is registered in the PRC, and is therefore subject to state and local income taxes within the PRC at the applicable tax rate on the taxable income as reported in the PRC statutory financial statements in accordance with relevant income tax laws. According to applicable tax laws regarding Sino-Foreign Joint Venture, the Joint Venture is exempted from income taxes in the PRC for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Thereafter, the Joint Venture is entitled to a 50% income tax deduction for the following three years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, and 2008. As a result of the Joint Venture obtaining its Sino-foreign joint venture status in 2004, in accordance with applicable PRC tax regulations, the Joint Venture was exempted from PRC income tax in both fiscal 2004 and 2005. Thereafter, the Joint Venture is entitled to a tax concession of 50% of the applicable income tax rate of 26.4% for the two years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007. With the new PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, effective on 1st January 2008, the China’s enterprises are generally subject to a PRC income tax rate of 25% and the Joint Venture is entitled to a tax concession of 50% of the applicable income tax rate of 25% for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Additionally, the Company increased its investment in the Joint Venture as a result of its financing in December, 2006. In accordance with the Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China on Foreign-invested Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises, the Joint Venture is eligible for additional preferential tax treatment. For the years 2007 and 2008, the Joint Venture entitled to an income tax exemption on all pre-tax income generated by the company above its pre-tax income generated in the fiscal year 2006. Thereafter, the Joint Venture will enjoy a 50% exemption from the effective income tax rate on any pre-tax income above its 2006 pre-tax income, to be recognized in the years 2009, 2010 and 2011. The above taxation exemption was superceded, because the Joint Venture has been awarded the Chinese government's "High-Tech Enterprise" designation. The High-Tech Enterprise certificate is valid for three years and provides for a reduced tax rate of 15% for years 2009 through 2011. So, the effective income tax rate will be 15% for years 2009 through 2011.

In addition, in accordance with China's relevant regulations of income taxes, there is a benefit, which 40% of the additional investment in the Joint Venture used to purchase eligible domestic equipments can be used as a tax credit to reduce the current income taxes to the limit of any incremental income taxes in addition to the prior year. The Company received an income tax benefit of $694,746 and $377,147 in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The reconciliation of the effective income tax rate of the Joint Venture to the statutory income tax rate in the PRC for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

	2009			2008
Statutory tax rate		25.0	%		25.0	%
