CH
Lighting International Corporation (“CH Lighting”), formerly known as
Sino-Biotics, Inc., was incorporated on July 6, 2005 under the laws of the State
of Delaware, and adopted its existing name effective on August 25, 2008. Its
common stock is currently trade on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”)
of NASDAQ under the symbol “CHHN”.
On July
16, 2008, CH Lighting entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange
Agreement”) with CH International and KEG International Limited (“KEG”), a
company incorporated in the British Virgins Islands. Pursuant to the Share
Exchange Agreement, CH Lighting acquired all of the issued and outstanding
common stock of CH International from KEG in exchange for 93,000,000
newly-issued shares of CH Lighting’s common stock, par value of $0.001,
representing 77.5% of CH Lighting’s common stock issued and outstanding upon
completion of the share exchange (the “Share Exchange
Transaction”).
During
the year ended September 30, 2008, CH Lighting (i) implemented a 1 for 1,000
reverse stock split and issued 128 shares for fractional share issuance on
December 13, 2007, (ii) converted a $65 convertible promissory note and all
related accrued interest into 25,999,998 shares of common stock on January 28,
2008, (iii) converted a $10 convertible promissory note and all related accrued
interest into 3,000,000 shares of common stock on January 31, 2008 and (iv)
implemented a 6 for 1 forward stock split on March 31, 2008. There were
29,180,616 shares of CH Lighting’s common stocks issued and outstanding
immediately before the completion of the Share Exchange
Transaction.
Upon
completion of the Share Exchange Transaction (including, but not limited to, the
cancellation of the 2,180,616 shares of CH Lighting’s common stock concurrent
and simultaneous with the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement), there
were 120,000,000 shares of CH Lighting’s common stock issued and
outstanding.
The
acquisition by CH Lighting of CH International was deemed to be a reverse
acquisition in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In
accordance with the Accounting and Financial Reporting Interpretations and
Guidance prepared by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
CH Lighting (the legal acquirer) is considered the accounting acquiree and CH
International (the legal acquiree) is considered the accounting acquirer. The
consolidated financial statements of the consolidated entity are in substance be
those of CH International, with the assets and liabilities, and revenues and
expenses, of CH Lighting being included effective from the date of completion of
Share Exchange Transaction. CH Lighting is deemed to be a continuation of
business of CH International. The outstanding common stock of CH Lighting prior
to the Share Exchange Transaction is accounted for at net book value and no
goodwill was recognized.
On
March 31, 2010, the Company acquired from the Min Tai Lighting Corporation
(“Min Tai”) shareholders all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital
stock of Min Tai. Min Tai is a company in the lighting industry
located in Zhejiang Province of the PRC. See Note 14.
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CH Lighting
International Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form
10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for annual financial statements. However, the information included in
these interim financial statements reflects all adjustments (consisting solely
of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and
the consolidated results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year. The
condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of September 30, 2009 was
derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. These interim financial statements should
be read in conjunction with that report.

this standard had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial
statements.
Basis
of Consolidation
The
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CH Lighting
International Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Inter-company
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America 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 condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes these
estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are
made; however, actual results when ultimately realized could differ from those
estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
Operating
revenue represents the sale of goods at invoiced value to customers, net of
returns, discounts and value-added tax (“VAT”), and is recognized when goods are
delivered to customers, the significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods
have been transferred to customers, the sales price to the customers is fixed or
determinable and the collectability of consideration is reasonably
assured.
The
Company sells products to distributors and retail customers. Title
for the products passes when all of the above conditions are
met. There is no right of return for products sold unless there is a
quality problem. At March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009 there was no
accrual for sales returns because historically the Company has not encountered
returns. There were no sales returns for the six months ended
March 31, 2010 and 2009.
For
products sold to retailers that were included in the government grant program
(also see Note 15), in certain instances, distributors provided promotional and
sales assistance to the Company, and the Company paid the distributors
commissions on the sales. These products were sold and shipped directly to
the retailers from the Company. Sales commissions were $65 and $341 for
the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and were
included in selling, marketing and distribution expenses in the statements of
income.
Shipping
and handling costs related to sales to third parties are reported as sales,
marketing and distribution expenses.
Research
and Development
Research
and development activities are expensed and charged to general administrative
expenses as incurred. Research and development costs were $995 and $393 for
the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments - ASC 820-10 (formerly SFAS 157) establishes a
three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in
measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels
based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are
observable in the market.
These
tiers include:
|
(II)
|
Level
1—defined as
observable inputs such as quoted prices in active
markets;
|
|
(III)
|
Level
2—defined as
inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly
or indirectly observable; and
|
|
(IV)
|
Level
3—defined as
unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore
requiring an entity to develop its own
assumptions.
|
Cash and
cash equivalents consist primarily of highly rated money market funds at a
variety of well-known institutions with original maturities of three months or
less. The original cost of these assets approximates fair value due to their
short term maturity.
The
carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes
receivable, accounts payable, and short-term bank borrowings approximate their
fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Retirement
Plan Costs
Retirement
benefits in the form of contributions under defined contribution retirement
plans to the relevant authorities are charged to operations as incurred.
Retirement benefits amounting to $44 and $39 were charged to operations for

Comprehensive
Income
Comprehensive
income is defined to include changes in equity except those resulting from
investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures,
items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as
components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial
statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial
statements. Comprehensive income includes net income and the foreign currency
translation gain, net of tax.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Effective
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 805 (formerly SFAS No. 141R,
Business Combinations). ASC 805 requires an acquirer to measure the
identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling
interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with
goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. The
adoption of ASC 805 did not have any effect on the Company’s condensed
consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2010.
Effective
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 810-10 (formerly SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements). This Statement
establishes accounting and reporting standards that require the ownership
interests in subsidiaries’ non-parent owners be clearly presented in the equity
section of the balance sheet; requires the amount of consolidated net income
attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly
identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income;
requires that changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains
its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for
consistently; requires that when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained
noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured
at fair value and the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary be
measured using the fair value of any noncontrolling equity; requires that
entities provide disclosures that clearly identify the interests of the parent
and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. The adoption of ASC 810-10 did
not have a significant effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial
statements as of March 31, 2010.
Effective
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 815-10 (formerly SFAS No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ), which amends
SFAS No. 133 and expands disclosures to include information about the fair value
of derivatives, related credit risks and a company’s strategies and objectives
for using derivatives. The adoption of ASC 815-10 did not have a material effect
on the condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31,
2010.

Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
Effective
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 815-40 (formerly Emerging Issues Task
Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 07-05, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded
Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-05”). ASC 815-40
addresses the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is
indexed to an entity’s own stock, which is the first part of the scope exception
in paragraph 11(a) of FASB SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”). If an instrument (or an embedded
feature) that has the characteristics of a derivative instrument under
paragraphs 6–9 of SFAS 133 is indexed to an entity’s own stock, it is still
necessary to evaluate whether it is classified in stockholders’ equity (or would
be classified in stockholders’ equity if it were a freestanding instrument).
Other applicable authoritative accounting literature, including Issues EITF
00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and
Potentially Settled in, a Company Own Stock, and EITF 05-2, The Meaning of
“Conventional Debt Instrument” in Issue No. 00-19, provides guidance for
determining whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is classified in
stockholders’ equity (or would be classified in stockholders’ equity if it were
a freestanding instrument). ASC 815-40 does not address that second part of the
scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133. The adoption of ASC
815-40 did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated
financial statements as of March 31, 2010.
On
April 1, 2009, the FASB approved ASC 805 (formerly FSP FAS 141R-1,
Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination
That Arise from Contingencies ) , which amends Statement 141R and
eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual
contingencies. Under ASC 805, an acquirer is required to recognize at fair value
an asset acquired or liability assumed in a business combination that arises
from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability
can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition-date fair
value cannot be determined, the acquirer applies the recognition criteria in
SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies and
Interpretation 14, “Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss – and
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 5,” to determine whether the
contingency should be recognized as of the acquisition date or after it. The
adoption of ASC 805 did not have a material effect on the condensed
consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2010.
ASC
320-10 (formerly FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2) amends the other-than-temporary
impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more
operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of
other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial
statements. It did not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance
related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. We are
required to adopt ASC 320-10 for our interim and annual reporting periods ending
after June 15, 2009. ASC 320-10 does not require disclosures for periods
presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. ASC 320-10 requires
comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The
adoption of ASC 320-10 did not have a material effect on the condensed
consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2010.
On
April 9, 2009, the FASB also approved ASC 825-10 (formerly FSP FAS 107-1
and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments )
to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in
interim period financial statements of publicly traded companies and in
summarized financial information required by APB Opinion
No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting . We are required to adopt
ASC 825-10 for our interim and annual reporting periods ending after
June 15, 2009. ASC 825-10 does not require disclosures for periods
presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. ASC 825-10 requires
comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The
adoption of ASC 825-10 did not have a material effect on the condensed

Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In April
2009, the FASB updated guidance related to fair-value measurements to clarify
the guidance related to measuring fair-value in inactive markets, to modify the
recognition and measurement of other-than-temporary impairments of debt
securities, and to require public companies to disclose the fair values of
financial instruments in interim periods. This updated guidance became effective
for the Company beginning 1, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a
material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements as of March
31, 2010.
In June
2009, the FASB issued ASC 810-10 (formerly SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB
Interpretation No. 46(R)). ASC 810-10 requires an enterprise to perform an
analysis and ongoing reassessments to determine whether the enterprises variable
interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable
interest entity and amends certain guidance for determining whether an entity is
a variable interest entity. It also requires enhanced disclosures that will
provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an
enterprises involvement in a variable interest entity. ASC 810-10 is
effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first
annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 and for
all interim reporting periods after that. The adoption of this
guidance did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial
statements as of March 31, 2010.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements
related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance
requires disclosure of transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and
Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the
timing of the transfers and information on purchases, sales, issuance, and
settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of the assets and liabilities
measured under Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. This guidance is
effective for the Company beginning March 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance
did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial
statements as of March 31, 2010.

EARNINGS
PER SHARE
|
Basic
earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stocks outstanding during
the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per
share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of
additional common stocks that would have been outstanding if the potential
common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
There were no potentially dilutive securities for the six months ended March 31,
2010 and 2009.

ACQUISITION
|
On
March 31, 2010, the Company acquired from the Min Tai Lighting Corporation
(“Min Tai”) shareholders all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital
stock of Min Tai for $7,860 in cash. Min Tai is a company in the
lighting industry located in Zhejiang Province of the PRC.
Min Tai
started operations from December 2009, and had no revenue or expenses up to
March 31, 2010. Therefore Min Tai’s operation has no substantial effect on the
net income of the Company for the six months ended March 31, 2010.

GOVERNMENT
SUBSIDIES
|
Since
2008 the central government of the PRC agreed to grant the Company subsidies for
selling energy - saving lighting products at a discount price on a condition
that the products are sold to retail customers. Revenues of $1,870 and
$4,283 were recorded as revenue derived from government subsidies for the six
months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. Of the total, $1,525 of the government
subsidies revenue recognized in the six months ended March 31,
2009 was associated with the sales for the year ended September 30, 2008.
As the Company sold their products to distributors rather than retail customers
for the year ended September 30, 2008, they were not able to make an appropriate
estimate for the amount of the government subsidies receivable then. Therefore,
such amount was recorded as revenue derived from government subsidies upon
receipt for the six months ended March 31, 2009. The remaining $1,870 and
$2,758 of the government subsidies revenue was associated with the sales
made during the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Since
the Company changed their selling strategy and sold products directly to retail
customers, they were able to make an appropriate estimate for the amount of
government subsidies receivable, and therefore, such amount was recorded as
revenue derived from government subsidies for the six months ended March 31,
2010. The government subsidies receivable of $1,870 is included in the
accounts receivable balance at March 31, 2010.
For the
six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 the Company was granted and
received unconditional government subsidies of $63 and $196 for its achievement
in developing new technology, which were recorded as other income. The
Company recognized such government subsidies as income upon receipt because
these subsidies are unconditional and for the Company’s past
achievement.

FINANCIAL
OBLIGATIONS, SALE-LEASEBACK
|
In
September 2007, the Company refinanced its machinery under a sale-leaseback
arrangement. Under the sale-leaseback agreement, the facility was sold for RMB
30,000 ($4,376) and concurrently, the Company leased the facility back for an
amount aggregating RMB 30,000 ($4,376) with a weighted average interest rate of
8.16%, payable in periodic installments through September 2010. Among the
selling price of RMB 30,000 ($4,376), RMB 20,000 ($2,917) was received in cash,
and the remaining balance of RMB 10,000 ($1,459) was treated as an interest
bearing security deposit to be applied to future lease payments. The transaction
was accounted for as a financing arrangement, wherein the property remains on
the Company’s books and will continue to be depreciated. A financial
obligation in the amount of RMB 20,000 ($2,917), representing the net proceeds
of the sale, was presented as “Financial obligations, sale-leaseback” in the
Company’s Balance Sheets, and is being reduced by lease payments under the
financial obligation. The Company has an option to purchase the facility for RMB
300 ($44) at the expiration of the lease. The financial obligation is guaranteed
by Yinbao Childcare, a related party of the Company. See Note 9(b).
In June
2008, the Company refinanced its machinery under a sale-leaseback arrangement.
Under the sale-leaseback agreement, the facility was sold for RMB 40,000
($5,835) and concurrently, the Company leased the facility back for an amount
aggregating RMB 40,000 ($5,835) with a weighted average interest rate of 8.16%,
payable in periodic installments through June 2011. Among the selling price of
RMB 40,000 ($5,835), RMB 26,666 ($3,889) was received in cash, and the remaining
balance of RMB 13,334 ($1,946) was treated as an interest bearing security
deposit to be applied to future lease payments. The transaction was accounted
for as a financing arrangement, wherein the property remains on the Company’s
books and will continue to be depreciated. A financial obligation in the
amount of RMB 26,666 ($3,889), representing the net proceeds of the sale, was
presented as “Financial obligations, sale-leaseback” in the Company’s Balance
Sheets, and is being reduced by lease payments under the financial
obligation. The Company has an option to purchase the facility for RMB 400 ($58)
at the expiration of the lease.

INCOME
TAXES

(a)
|
Corporation
Income Tax (“CIT”)
|
At March
31, 2010, the Company had US federal net operating loss carryforward of
approximately $266 expiring beginning in 2009 in varying amounts
through 2028.
FASB ASC
740 (formerly SFAS No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes) requires that a
valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a
portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company estimates
they will not have net operating income in the United States. As
such, the Company recorded a 100% valuation allowance against its net
deferred tax asset associated with net operating loss carry forward as
of March 31, 2010.
The
People’s Republic of China
On March
16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China approved the Corporate Income
Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “new CIT Law”), which was
effective on January 1, 2008. Under the new CIT Law, the corporate income
tax rate applicable to the Company starting from January 1, 2008 is 25%. The new
CIT Law has an impact on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of the Company.
The Company adjusted deferred tax balances as of September 30, 2009 based on
their best estimates and will continue to assess the impact of such new law in
the future. The effects arising from the enforcement of the new CIT law have
been reflected in the accounts.
The
Company uses FASB ASC 740 (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”)). – AN INTERPRETATION OF
FASB STATEMENT NO. 109, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES. The Interpretation
addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be
claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under
FIN 48, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if
it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on
examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the
position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a
position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than
fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also
provides guidance on recognition, classification, interest and penalties on
income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.
As of March 31, 2010, the Company did not have a liability for unrecognized tax
benefits.
CH
Technology received official designation by the local tax authority as a
foreign-invested enterprise engaged in manufacturing activities, and
it exempts from enterprise income tax for two years commencing from the
first profitable year in 2007, followed by a 50% reduction for the next three
years.
CH
Lighting PRC received official designation by the local tax authority as a High
and New-Tech Enterprise, and the applicable income tax is 15% from January
1, 2008 to December 31, 2010.
Dividends
payable by a foreign invested enterprise to its foreign investors are subject to
a 10% withholding tax, unless any foreign investor’s jurisdiction of
incorporation has a tax treaty with the PRC that provides for a different
withholding arrangement.

Value
Added Tax (“VAT”)
|
Enterprises
or individuals, who sell commodities, engage in repair and maintenance or import
or export goods in the PRC are subject to a value added tax in accordance with
Chinese Laws. The VAT standard rate is 17% of the gross sale price. A credit is
available whereby VAT paid on the purchases of semi-finished products or raw
materials used in the production of the Company’s finished products can be used
to offset the VAT due on the sales of the finished products.
On
January 1, 2002, the export policy of VAT "Exemption, Credit and Refund" began
to apply to all exports by manufacture-based enterprises. In accordance with
this policy, exported goods are exempted from output VAT and the input VAT
charged for purchases of the raw materials, components and power consumed for
the production of the exported goods may be refunded. Beginning July 1, 2008,
the refund rates of lighting source products applicable to Zhejiang CH and CH
Technology were ranging from 17% to 13%.
The
refundable VAT of $334 and $390 at March 31, 2010 and September 30,
2009, respectively, are included in other receivables in the accompanying

DISTRIBUTION
OF INCOME
|
As
stipulated by the relevant laws and regulations for sino-foreign joint
enterprises in the PRC, the PRC Subsidiaries are required to maintain certain
statutory reserves, which include a general reserve fund, an enterprise
expansion fund and staff welfare and incentive bonus fund. The statutory
reserves are to be appropriated from statutory net income as stipulated by
statute or by the board of directors of respective subsidiaries and recorded as
a component of stockholders' equity.
All PRC
subsidiaries are required by relevant laws and regulation to transfer at least
10% of their after tax profit determined in accordance with the PRC accounting
rules and regulations to a statutory surplus reserve until such reserve balance
reaches 50% of the PRC Subsidiaries’ registered capital.
For the
six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company transferred $70 and $131
to the statutory surplus reserve respectively.
The
statutory surplus reserve can only be utilized to offset prior years' losses or
for capitalization as paid-in capital. No distribution of the remaining reserves
shall be made other than upon liquidation of the PRC Subsidiaries.

STOCK-BASED
EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT
|
On June
15, 2008, Mr. Zhao and certain key management personnel of CH Lighting (the
“Employees”) entered into stock-based employee compensation agreements, which
enable those key management personnel to acquire 470 shares (4.7%) of the issued
and outstanding common stocks of KEG (the “Award Stocks”) from Mr. Zhao.
Pursuant to the stock-based employee compensation agreements, 125 shares of
Award Stocks were fully vested immediately and the remaining 345 shares of Award
Stocks will be vested on each anniversary date of the original grant on a pro
rata basis over 5 years until all awards are vested (the “Vesting Period”). If
the Employees are unable to remain in office during the Vesting Period, Mr. Zhao
is entitled to re-purchase the unvested Award Stocks.
The
Company adopted FASB ASC 718 (formerly SFAS No. 123R, Share-based payment) to
recognize an expense for unvested share-based compensation that has been issued
or will be issued after that date. The Company adopted FASB ASC 718 on
a prospective basis.
Compensation
expense attributed to the stock-based employee compensation agreements is based
on the fair value of the Award Stocks on the grant date. Compensation expense is
recognized between the grant date and the vesting date on a straight-line basis
for each individual award stock. Fair value of stock awards is determined using
a Direct Comparison Method under Market Approach which assumes sale of the
awarded stock in its existing state with the benefit of immediate availability
and by making reference to comparable sale transactions as available in the
relevant markets. This valuation method was used because at the time of grant
the fair value was not determinable by the market price because KEG is a private
company. The fair value of the Award Stocks of $8 per award stock was determined
by the management with reliance on a valuation report prepared by an independent
firm of qualified professional valuation consultants not connected to the
Company which has appropriate qualifications and recent experience in the
valuation of similar instruments.
As
of March 31, 2010, 216 shares of Award Stocks were outstanding
and unvested.

Prior
Operations of the Company
The
Company’s predecessor, Innovative Coatings, a Georgia corporation, ceased
operations in June 2003. On August 1, 2003, ICC Holdings Corp. was formed
as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Innovative Coatings. Also on August 1,
2003, Instachem Systems was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ICC Holdings
Corp. and ICC Merger Corp. was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Instachem
Systems. On August 11, 2003, ICC Holdings Corp. merged with its parent
company, Innovative Coatings, to change its U.S. state of incorporation from
Georgia to Oklahoma. On August 12, 2003, ICC Merger Corp. bought ICC
Holdings Corp. A new corporation with ownership unrelated to the above,
Sino-Biotics, Inc. was formed in Delaware on July 6, 2005. On July 18,
2005, Instachem Systems sold ICC Merger Corp. to an individual for $500.
On July 19, 2005, Sino-Biotics, Inc. bought Instachem Systems. As a result
of the above, the pre-existing creditors of the original operating entity,
Innovative Coatings, were spun off through the sale of ICC Merger in July
2005.

outstanding securities of CH International from the Stockholder in exchange for
Ninety-Three Million (93,000,000) newly-issued shares of Sino-Biotics, Inc.’s
common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”),
representing seventy-seven and one half percent (77.5%) of the issued and
outstanding Common Stock as of the Closing Date (the “Exchange”). As
a result of the Exchange, CH International became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Sino-Biotics, Inc.
From
its inception through the closing of the Exchange, the Company has not had any
operations. Prior to the Exchange, the Company was considered a “blank check”

Description
of Company Business Segments
The
Company is dedicated to developing, manufacturing and selling healthy,
energy-saving, green and innovative high-end products and relevant services in
the fluorescent lighting field. The Company sets very high and strict quality
and environmental standards for all of our products. Our revenues are
mostly generated from the sales of our products in China and
abroad. For the most part, our sales are seasonal, with the first
calendar quarter being the low season, in light of the Chinese New Year
festivities, and the fourth calendar quarter being our peak season.
We are not required to carry
significant amounts of inventory to meet rapid delivery requirements of our
foreign customers as most of our foreign sales are “made to order” products.
However, we are required to carry significant amounts of inventory to
meet rapid delivery requirements of our domestic (Chinese)
customers. We have not experienced serious problems with the quality
of our products, therefore we do not provide extra warranties or guarantees to
our customers unless they return the goods because of issues with
quality. The Company has standard payment terms and for the most
part, it does not provide payment extensions to customers.
Our revenues from the sale of our
products were US$14,047,000 for fiscal year 2005 (100% of all revenues),
US$15,225,000 for fiscal year 2006 (100% of all revenues), US$32,379,000 for
fiscal year 2007 (100% of all revenues), US$90,864,000 for fiscal year 2008
(100% of all revenues) and US$57,459,000 for fiscal year 2009 (100% of all
revenues). A list of our products and services can be found in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on December 29, 2009 and on our website at

Enterprise
Marketing Strategy and Methods of Distribution
Domestic
Marketing Strategy
The Company owns patents for special
lighting lamps and currently holds a leading position in the Chinese domestic
market. The Company’s sale of products has yielded positive results since 2006
when it entered the Chinese market. Set forth below are some key features of the
Company’s domestic marketing strategy:
|
·
|
Effective
and Professional Sales Team. The Company is aware of the
importance of effective and professional sales teams. As a
result, we recruit dynamic and enthusiastic personnel. We offer
a very competitive package and we provide full-scale trainings to
continuously enhance our personnel’s performance. In addition to
day-to-day sales training, the Company’s domestic marketing center holds

improve points of sales. At present, it has 32 offices and has
relationships with more than 480
distributors.
|
|
·
|
Energy
Savings and Emission Reduction. The Company intends to
participate actively in government projects involving replacement and
procurement of green lighting, group procurement of enterprises and
institutions and bidding for major projects. The Company plans to
establish contacts with provincial and municipal governments to promote
its energy-saving products. Through the Company’s implementation of a
corresponding discount policy, the Company plans to increase the intensity
of cultivation in the market, making the design and concepts of its
products fully recognized by channel partners, consumer groups and
lighting designers. At the same time, consistent with national policies of
energy-savings and emissions reduction, the Company intends to fully
utilize its advantage in advanced lighting technology to enhance
development with innovative lighting design, to provide complimentary
products and to accelerate the upgrading of products. The Company plans to
continue to maintain extensive cooperation with key branded enterprises to
ensure increasing orders from old customers and to develop new
customers.

|
·
|
Strengthen
Brand Promotion. In
order to continuously enhance our customers’ awareness, the Company
intends to continue to collaborate with various media sources to promote
its brand. It has established strategic cooperation with CCTV2 (China
Television) and with the print media as well as purchased large-scale
outdoor advertising on the Shanghai-Hangzhou and Hangzhou - Ningbo
Expressways. The Company also plans to continue to maintain its
professional website (http://chlighting.com), search engines and exhibitions
in China and abroad to develop new customer groups. Furthermore, the
Company plans to continue to employ the top products planning corporation
in China (Guangzhou Zhonghe Jiuding Planning Company) as the Company’s
products promotion planning
consultant.
|

International
Marketing Strategy
|
·
|
Participating
in International Lighting Fair. The Company currently
participates in more than 10 exhibitions abroad annually, such as
international lighting fairs in Hong Kong, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, New York,
Las Vegas and Italy and plans to continue to do so. The Company continues
to improve its influence and to expand its sales in the international
market. The purpose of participation in the exhibitions is not only to
contact new customers but also to exhibit the strength of the Company and
its brand image.
|
|
·
|
International
Market District Management. The global market of the Company
is divided into several regions, including Europe, America, Asia and the
Middle East. There is a sales team responsible for the promotion of our
products and negotiation of the business arrangements in each regional
market. The Company plans to adopt specific strategies and practices for
each of the regional
markets.
|
|
·
|
Brand
Enterprise (Manufacturer) Cooperation. There are two (2) methods
employed with respect to the manufacturing of our products. The first is
“ODM”, whereby the structure, appearance and technical aspects of our
products are developed and designed by the Company. However
after the completion of their development and production, such products
are sold with trademarks of certain clients. These products are usually
mass produced in accordance with the placement of orders by such clients.
The other method is “OEM”, whereby our products are made in cooperation
with certain third party enterprises such as GE Lighting, Sylvania, and
other large multinational groups. For example, our plant growth lamp
co-developed by the Company and Huazhong Agricultural University is sold
in Europe, the United States and Australia. We have established
cooperation with a number of large enterprises such as Interpet, Arcardia
of Britain, Croci SpA of Italy, PENN-PLAX and SUNPARK of United States,
AVK LIGHTING of Australia and Narva of Germany to develop the global
market for plant growth
lamps.

Product
Sales Strategy (Domestic and International Sales)
Domestic
Sales through Distributors
The Company entered the high-tech
domestic Chinese lighting market in 2006. Currently, 32 offices exist in China,
forming a three-level sales network in counties, cities and provinces, with
point-of-sale locations across the country. These contribute toward
an efficient marketing system. Each office is responsible for providing
professional services to its local dealers and consumers. The Company has
implemented a regional distribution system in the Chinese domestic market,
establishing long-term cooperative relationships with approximately 450
distributors. The Company builds up composite-end sales channels including
franchise stores, lighting centers and counters to increase its market
competitiveness.
International
Sales through Distributors
The Company also implements its
distribution system in the international market. In the Middle East, the Company
has a regional agent in Saudi Arabia that is solely responsible for the product
in the local Middle East market. In the European market, the Company
has a regional agent in Belgium who is in charge of regional marketing. The
Group has also set up a branch in Hong Kong responsible for marketing the
businesses to the Asia-Pacific region.

Domestic
Replacement Market
In 2007,
the size of China's domestic for the T8 halogen powder lamp was 1 billion lamps.
Currently, as a result of the requirements for energy savings and emissions
reduction policies, According to
[ ],
T8 halogen powder lamps are one of the main products which should be replaced.
The total replacement market for T8 halogen powder lamps, which have an average
useful life of about 2 years, is estimated to be not less than 2 billion sets
per year. If 10% of the lamps are to be replaced, the replacement market would
be at least 200 million per year. Users that are pressing for replacement of
such lamps in China include manufacturing enterprises, large-scale commercial
enterprises (especially supermarket chains and large stores), colleges and
universities, primary and secondary schools and other educational institutions,
hospitals, railway stations, airports, libraries and other public buildings and
facilities, government agencies, institutions and office buildings.
Our
T5-integrated conversion stand product (also known as the “Power-Saving
Treasure”) is most suitable to replace the T8 halogen powder lamp and ballast
without changing the original lamps, and can provide significant energy-saving
benefits to users. It can be used as the energy-saving replacement for units,
enterprises, schools, stores, supermarkets and hospitals.
Since the
Company offers energy-saving lighting products such as the “Power-Saving
Treasure”, we believe that we have the competitive edge in the replacement
market and the marketing model of “contract energy management” (as described
below). We believe that participation and engagement of the Company in
energy-saving lighting rebuilding (and replacement) projects is an important
growth point for the development of the Company. The Company has already begun
to provide replacement services for users. This has given us positive
evaluations and a good reputation in the field of energy-saving lighting since
2005. Typical users include the following:

Offices. In October
2007, the Company was the first domestic enterprise appointed by

ten (10) years of hard work, the Company’s products have obtained critical
certifications in a number of countries (such as the EU's CE, TUV and GS, UL in

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
This
section should be read together with the Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies included as Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 filed
with the SEC.
Estimates
Affecting Accounts Receivable and Inventories
The preparation of our consolidated
financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect our reporting of assets and liabilities (and contingent assets and
liabilities). These estimates are particularly significant where they affect the
reported net realizable value of the Company’s accounts receivable and
inventories.
At March 31, 2010, the Company provided
a $2,095 reserve against accounts receivable. Management’s estimate of the
appropriate reserve on accounts receivable at March 31, 2010 was based on the
aged nature of these accounts receivable. In making its judgment, management
assessed its customers’ ability to continue to pay their outstanding invoices on
a timely basis, and whether their financial position might deteriorate
significantly in the future, which would result in their inability to pay their
debts to the Company.
At March 31, 2010, the Company provided
an allowance against its inventories amounting to $158. Management’s
determination of this allowance is based on potential impairments to the current
carrying value of the inventories due to slow moving of aged
inventories. In making its estimate, management considered the
probable demand for our products in the future and historical trends in the
turnover of our inventories.
While the
Company currently believes that there is little likelihood that actual results
will differ materially from these current estimates, if customer demand for our
products decreases significantly in the near future, or if the financial
condition of our customers deteriorates in the near future, the Company could
realize significant write downs for slow-moving inventories or uncollectible
accounts receivable.
Estimates
Affecting Fair Value of Stock Based Compensation
Compensation
expense attributed to the stock-based employee compensation agreements is based
on the fair value of the Award Stocks on the grant date. Compensation expense is
recognized between the grant date and the vesting date on a straight-line basis
for each individual award stock. Fair value of stock awards is determined using
a Direct Comparison Method under Market Approach which assumes sale of the
awarded stock in its existing state with the benefit of immediate
availability and by making reference to comparable sale transactions as
available in the relevant markets. This valuation method was used because at the
time of grant the fair value was not determinable by the market price because
KEG is a private company. The fair value of the Award Stocks of $8 per stock
award was determined by the management with reliance on a valuation report
prepared by an independent firm of qualified professional valuation consultants
not connected to the Company which has appropriate qualifications and recent
experience in the valuation of similar instruments.
As
of March 31, 2010, 216 shares of Award Stocks were outstanding
and unvested. The fair value of the stock-based compensation expense for the six
months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $207 and $0, respectively. The
intrinsic value of the remaining 216 shares at March 31, 2010 is approximately
$1,663.
10
Policy Affecting Recognition of
Revenue
Among the most important accounting
policies affecting our consolidated financial statements is our policy of
recognizing revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-10. Under
this policy, all of the following criteria must be met in order for us
to recognize revenue:
|
1.
|
Persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists;
|
|
2.
|
Delivery
has occurred or services have been
rendered;
|
|
3.
|
The
seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or
determinable;
|
|
4.
|
Collectability
is reasonably assured.
|
The majority of the Company’s revenue
results from sales contracts with distributors and revenue is recorded upon the
shipment of goods. Management conducts credit background checks for new
customers as a means to reduce the subjectivity of assuring collectability.
Based on these factors, the Company believes that it can apply the provisions of
FASB ASC 605-10 with minimal subjectivity.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncement
A description of recent accounting
pronouncements is set forth under “New Accounting Standards” in Note 2 of the
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and such description is incorporated herein by

recovery.
The
central government of the PRC has agreed to grant the Company subsidies for
selling energy - saving lighting products at a discounted price on the condition
that the products are sold to retail customers. The decrease in
governmental subsidies was primarily due to the fact that there were two
government purchasing projects for the three months ended March 31, 2009, while
there was only one government purchasing project for the three months ended
March 31, 2010.

power-saving lamp and the 42.90% increase in revenues.
Gross
profit increased by $647, or 28.60%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010

is attributable to higher sales. Gross profit as a percentage of
revenues decreased from 26.98% in the prior period to 24.28% in the same period
of 2010 due to the fact that in 2009 the Company sold energy - saving lighting
products in connection with a government purchasing project with a higher margin
and also due to the higher price of raw materials.

increased by $72, or 11.6%, to $691 as compared to $619 for the three months

distribution expenses was primarily due to the following factors: (1) The
Company assigned agents to perform sales promotions and supporting activities in
connection with a government purchasing project and paid them promotion fees
based on their actual sales numbers. Sales commissions also decreased
following the conclusion of a government purchasing project for Power-Saving
Treasure on March 31, 2009. (2) Transportation fees and
traveling fees increased by $143 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as
compared with the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase
was due to the increase in sales volume and management’s efforts to expand into
new markets.

and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased
by $148, or 18%, to $970 as compared to $822 for the three months ended March
31, 2009. Our increase in general and administrative expenses was
primarily due to the following factors: (1) A payroll increase of $79 for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared with the three months ended March
31, 2009. This increase was due to the increase in the average salary
of our administrative employees because they worked 6 days in the three months
ended March 31, 2010, while they worked 5 days in the prior period; and (2) an
increase in research and development expenses of $53 for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 as compared with the three months ended March 31,
2009. This increase was due to the Company’s new product plans in
2010 as we spent more to develop new products for the three months ended March

of Discount on Notes Receivable
Amortization

receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2010. There was no
such discount on notes receivable for the three months ended March 31,
2009.

$26,574 for the six months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was
primarily due to revenues from overseas sales which increased $2,638 due to the
favorable impact caused by the economic recovery.
The
central government of the PRC has agreed to grant the Company subsidies for
selling energy - saving lighting products at a discounted price on the condition
that the products are sold to retail customers. The decrease was
primarily due to the fact that there were two government purchasing projects for
the six months ended March 31, 2009, while there was only one government
purchasing project for the six months ended March 31, 2010.

in the prior period to 21.50% in the same period of 2010 due to the fact that in
2009 the Company sold energy - saving lighting products in connection with a

tax expense for the six months ended March 31, 2010 was $169 as compared to $532

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We generally finance our operations
through our operating profits and borrowings from banks.
During the reporting periods, we
arranged a number of bank loans to satisfy our financing needs. As of the date
of this report, we have not experienced any difficulty in raising funds through
bank loans, and we have not experienced any liquidity problems in settling our
payables in the normal course of business and repaying our bank loans when they
fall due.

(In

Cash
Our cash
balance at March 31, 2010 was $3,303, representing an increase of $511, or
18.3%, compared with our cash balance of $2,792 at September 30,
2009. The increase was mainly attributable to the net cash used in
operating activities of $2,780, used in investing activities of $892 and net
cash provided in financing activities of $3,977.
Cash
Flow
Cash flow used in operations for the
six months ended March 31, 2010 amounted to $2,780, representing a decrease of
approximately 188.90% compared with cash flow provided by operations of $3,127
for the six months ended March 31, 2009. This decrease in cash flow
was primarily due to the decrease in our net income by 87.12%, to $565 for the
six months ended March 31, 2010, compared with operating income of $4,387 for
the six months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was also primarily due to the
increase in our accounts receivable of $1,805 since we provided longer credit
terms to major customers for sales promotion, and the decrease in accounts
payable and accrued expenses and other accrued liabilities by
$2,456.
Our cash
flow used in investing activities amounted to $892 for the six months ended
March 31, 2010. During that period, we provided $5,710 short-term
notes receivable to unrelated parties for their assistance in providing
guarantees for bank loans. We received a $10,573 repayment of
short-term notes receivable from a related party during the six months ended
March 31, 2010. We also paid $7,845 for the acquisition of Min Tai
during this period. On March 31, 2010, the Company acquired from
the Min Tai Lighting Corporation (“Min Tai”) shareholders all of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of Min Tai for $7,860 in
cash. Min Tai is a company in the lighting industry located in
Zhejiang Province of the PRC.
Our cash
flows provided by financing activities amounted to $3,977 for the six months
ended March 31, 2010. During that period, we repaid $45,306 in
short-term bank borrowings and received $77,232 from short-term bank
borrowings.
We may
determine from time to time to raise capital through private debt or equity
financing to strengthen the Company’s financial position, to expand our
facilities and to provide us with additional flexibility to take advantage of
business opportunities. No assurances can be given that we will
be successful in raising such additional capital on terms acceptable to us.
Working
Capital
We had a
working capital deficiency of $2,358 at March 31, 2010 as compared to a working
capital deficiency of $31,161 at September 30, 2009, a decrease of
$28,803. The decrease is primarily due to the increase in notes
receivable from related parties, the current portion of which is $35,607,
short-term notes receivable from unrelated parties of $5,721, restricted cash of
$25,391, accounts receivable of $1,805 and a decrease in accounts payable of
$1,351. The decrease was partly offset by a decrease in short-term
notes receivable from related parties of $10,573, an inventory of $904, and an
increase in short-term bank borrowings of $32,211. The increase in restricted
cash represented our pledge deposit for the issuance of notes
payable. The increase in notes receivable from related parties,
current portion represent the relevant principals transferred from long term to
short term, which will come to maturity during the coming year.
The increase in short-term notes
receivable from unrelated parties represented the increase in relevant
principals, which will come to maturity during the coming year.
We
currently generate our cash flow through operations. We believe that
our cash flow generated from operations will be sufficient to sustain operations
for at least the next twelve months. From time to time, we may
identify new expansion opportunities for which there will be a need for use of
cash.

Contingencies
As of

required to repay the outstanding balance. As of March 31, 2010, the
amount of the guarantee for the bank loans borrowed by Company A was
approximately $3,668, which consists of the following:

3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
RMB
Appreciation
The
Company believes that inflation has not had a material effect on its operations
to date. However, continued appreciation of the RMB against the
U.S. Dollar and its effect on the Company's export business, could have a
material adverse effect on the Company. In the even of a material
adverse effect on the Company, our strategy would be to reduce our reliance on
exports and to increase domestic sales. And we have use forward
exchange transactions to compensate the possible losses.

Non-tariff
technical trade barriers imposed by governments such as the European Union’s EuP
Directive, could adversely affect our export business. In response to the
EuP Directive, the Company has launched a project to evaluate the impact of our
products on the environment during each stage of a product’s life, from design,
material procurement and manufacture, to maintenance, recovery and
treatment. This project conforms with the trend of reducing resource
consumption and pollution as laid out in the EuP
Directive. Our major products have the qualification
under the European Union’s EuP Directive.
The
Development of High-Tech Products Takes a Long Time and There Are Many
Uncertainties in the Process
The
special light source products developed by the Company are an innovation in the
industry. As a result there might be unpredictable or presently
unavoidable technical flaws in the products, or the new products may not fit
into the market demand. Either way, the new products might not be
able to enter mass production and be sold in the markets. To avert
such a risk, the Company has set up a new products decision committee and has
hired senior experts in China to better oversee and grasp the developmental
tendencies of the industry. Prior to the development and trial of new
products, we plan on conducting systematic and in-depth research to find market
space and identify technical problems and key targets for
breakthrough.
Theft of our Key Technologies Could
Have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company’s Business and
Development
To avert
the risk of theft of our technologies, the Company uses management measures,
such as performance bonuses and other project rewards, to maintain the stability
of its technical team. The Company (and its subsidiaries) also has in
place confidentiality agreements with certain technical employees to prevent
leakage of core technologies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
The
Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s
filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure
controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the
reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and
principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. It
should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon
certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no
assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all
potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

In Internal Controls

no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that was
identified in connection with such evaluation that occurred during the period

reporting.
