BMP SUNSTONE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2010 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 of BMP Sunstone Corporation and Subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Company, we or our) ) include the accounts of BMP Sunstone Corporation (the Parent) and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries which it controls, Beijing Medpharm Co. Ltd. (BMP China), Beijing Wanwei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Wanwei), Sunstone China Limited (Sunstone China), the 100% owner of Sunstone (Tangshan) Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (Sunstone), Shanghai Rongheng Pharmaceutical, Ltd (Rongheng), Dejee Company Limited, BMP Sunstone Corporation Beijing Representative Office, and, effective beginning January 1, 2010, Sunstone Shengda (Zhangjiakou) Pharmacy Co., Ltd. (formerly named Zhangjiakou Shengda Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) (Shengda) and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and for each of the three years for the periods ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 15, 2010. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting principally of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys interim results. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for complete financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations. The operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
With respect to the basis for consolidation, control is determined based on ownership rights, management control or, when applicable, based on whether the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The Companys interest in 20% to 50%-owned companies that are not controlled is accounted for using the equity method, unless the Company does not sufficiently influence the management of the investee. The Companys 50% ownership in Shengda is included in our consolidation as we maintain management control. For investments in which the Company owns less than 20% of the voting shares or does not have significant influence, the cost method of accounting is used. Under the cost method of accounting, the Company does not record its share in the earnings and losses of the companies in which it has an investment. Non-controlling interest represents the interest not owned by the Company, and is recorded for consolidated entities in which the Company owns less than 100% of the interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Earnings Per Share: The Company calculates basic earnings per share based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares. The Company calculates diluted earnings per share based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares plus the effect of dilutive stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents have been excluded from the diluted per share calculations as of three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In December 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued new accounting guidance which amends the Codification as a result of the FASBs issuance of Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) during June of 2009. This amendment requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprises variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This guidance requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. This amendment eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, which was based on determining which enterprise absorbs the majority of the entitys expected losses, receives a majority of the entitys expected residual returns, or both. This guidance requires enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprises involvement in a variable interest entity. This amendment is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entitys 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. Earlier application is prohibited. We have adopted this new guidance as of the required effective date of January 1, 2010 and the adoptions did not have any significant impact on our consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations or disclosures.

Table of Contents
In January 2010, the Company adopted FASB ASC 810, Consolidation (FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements). ASC 810 requires that noncontrolling interests are reported as a separate line in stockholders equity. The net income for both BMP Sunstone and the noncontrolling interests is included in Net Income. The Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests is deducted from Net Income to determine the Net Income Attributable to BMP Sunstone, which will continue to be used to determine earnings per share. ASC 810 also requires certain prospective changes in accounting for noncontrolling interests primarily related to increases and decreases in ownership and changes in control. As required, the presentation and disclosure requirements were adopted through retrospective application, and the consolidated financial statement prior period information has been adjusted accordingly. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures that will provide more robust disclosures about (1) the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, (2) the valuation techniques and inputs used, (3) the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, and (4) the transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for certain disclosures which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We are in the process of evaluating this new guidance and assessing its impact on the determination or reporting of our financial results.
In February 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which addresses both the interaction of requirements per the Codifications Subsequent Events Topic, with the SECs reporting requirements, and the intended breadth of the reissuance disclosures provision related to subsequent events. The amendments in this update have the potential to change reporting by both private and public entities; however, the nature of the change may vary depending on facts and circumstances. We have evaluated this new guidance, and have determined that it will not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of our financial results.
In February 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which defers the effective date of the amendments to the Consolidation Topic to a reporting entitys interest in certain types of entities and clarifies other aspects of the Consolidation amendments. As a result of the deferral, a reporting entity will not be required to apply the new amendments to the Consolidation Topics requirements to its interest in an entity that meets the criteria to qualify for the deferral. This update also clarifies how a related partys interests in an entity should be considered when evaluating the criteria for determining when a decision maker or service provider fee represents a variable interest. In addition, the update also clarifies that a quantitative calculation should not be the only basis for evaluating whether a decision makers or service providers fee is a variable interest. We have evaluated this new guidance, and have determined that it will not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of our financial results.
In April 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which codifies an SEC Staff Announcement relating to accounting for certain tax effects within the Income Taxes Topic from the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. We have evaluated this new guidance, and have determined that it will not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of our financial results.
In April 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which amends Compensation-Stock Compensation and addresses the classification of share-based payment awards with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades. The update clarifies that a share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entitys equity securities trades shall not be considered to contain a market, performance or service condition. Therefore, such an award is not to be classified as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity classification. The objective of the amendments is to address the diversity in practice regarding such share-based payment awards. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 31, 2010. We are in the process of evaluating this new guidance and assessing its impact on the determination or reporting of our financial results.

Table of Contents
In April 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which amends Revenue Recognition and provides guidance on defining a milestone under Revenue Recognition and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research and development transactions. Consideration that is contingent on achievement of a milestone in its entirety may be recognized as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone is judged to meet certain criteria to be considered substantive. Milestones should be considered substantive in their entirety and may not be bifurcated. An arrangement may contain both substantive and nonsubstantive milestones that should be evaluated individually. The objective of the amendments is to provide guidance related to the use of the milestone method as authoritative guidance on this topic did not previously exist. The amendments are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We have evaluated this new guidance, and have determined that it will not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of our financial results.
In April 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which amends Receivables and clarifies that modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool under Receivables-Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, which provides guidance on accounting for acquired loans that have evidence of credit deterioration upon acquisition, do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. An entity will continue to be required to consider whether the pool of assets in which the loan is included is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. The amendments do not affect the accounting for loans under the scope of Receivables-Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality that are not accounted for within pools, which will continue to be subject to troubled debt restructuring accounting provisions. The objective of the amendments is to address the diversity in practice regarding such modifications. The amendments are effective for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Receivables- Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. We have evaluated this new guidance, and have determined that it will not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of our financial results.
2. Acquisitions:
Acquisition of Zhangjiakou Shengda Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
On December 19, 2008, Sunstone entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement with Beijing Penn Pharmaceutical Sci-Tech Development Co., Ltd. (Beijing Penn) to purchase 50% of the outstanding equity interests of Shengda for RMB 20.0 million (or $2,920,000 as of February 16, 2009) in cash. On February 16, 2009 we received the business license of Shengda and closed on the acquisition. Shengda has changed its name from Zhangjiakou Shengda Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. to Sunstone Shengda (Zhangjiakou) Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
The purchase price was paid in installments as follows:

For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, there were 2,677,162 and 2,857,215 shares, respectively, of the Companys ordinary shares attributable to the stock options and warrants that were excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share because the conversion price or exercise price exceeded the average price of the Companys ordinary shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, there were 2,672,996 and 3,416,977 shares, respectively, of the Companys ordinary shares attributable to the stock options and warrants that were excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share because the conversion price or exercise price exceeded the average price of the Companys ordinary shares.
10. Stock-Based Compensation:
The Companys 2007 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the Plan) which merged with the Companys 2004 Stock Incentive Plan as of April 26, 2007, provides for grants of stock options (incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, other stock grants and other stock-based awards to all employees (including employees who are directors or officers), non-employee directors, consultants and independent contractors of the Company and its affiliates. The Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock, subject to adjustment, and provides that no more than 400,000 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment, may be awarded to any one individual in any calendar year if the value of the award is based solely on an increase in the value of shares of the Companys common stock after the date of grant of the award. The Plan also provides that no more than 100,000 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment, may be awarded to any one individual in any calendar year if the value of the award is not based solely on an increase in the value of shares of the Companys common stock after the date of grant of the award. Options are granted for a term of ten years and vest over a four year period. Options granted under the Plan from 2005 through June 30, 2010 vest 25% after the first year of the date of grant and ratably each month over the remaining 36 month period. Options granted in 2004 under the Plan vest 50% after the first two years of the date of hire and ratably each month over the remaining 24 month period. The Plan is administered by the Companys Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has the authority to determine the individuals who will receive grants, the type of grant, the number of shares subject to the grant, the terms of the grant, the time the grants will be made and the duration of any exercise or restriction period, and has the authority to deal with any other matters arising under the Plan. Options granted under the Plan may be incentive stock options, which are intended to qualify with the requirements of section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and nonqualified stock options, which are not intended to so qualify. The Companys board of directors may amend or terminate the Plan at any time if required under the Plan, subject to stockholder approval. Unless terminated earlier by the board of directors or extended by the board of directors, with the approval of the Companys stockholders, no awards may be granted under the Plan after April 25, 2012.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
Six months ended June 30, 2010 |
|||
Expected life (years) |
5.0 | ||
Risk-free interest rate |
2.41 | % | |
Expected volatility |
65 | % | |
Expected dividend yield |
0.00 | % |
There were no options granted for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The weighted average estimated fair value of the options granted for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $3.04. The weighted average estimated fair value of the options granted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $2.21.
13
Table of Contents
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock volatility. Because the Companys employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in managements opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. Compensation cost which is based on the fair value of options granted is recognized on a straight line basis over the service period.
A summary of the options issued by the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2010 is as follows:

Actual results may vary materially from the expectations contained in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements herein include, among others, statements regarding derivative liabilities and accounting treatment thereof, statements addressing managements views with respect to future financial and operating results, our ability to obtain an increased market share in the Chinese pharmaceutical marketing and distribution markets, the dependence of our future success on obtaining additional promotional and market research agreements and licensing rights for China and on acquiring additional distribution companies, the significance of our acquisition of Wanwei and Sunstone, our cash and cash equivalents investments, our anticipated use of cash resources, our ability to fund our current level of operations through our cash and cash equivalents, our hiring goals for the next twelve months, our capital requirements and the possible impact on us if we are unable to satisfy these requirements, our approaches to raise additional funds and our expectation to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions in the near future. Various factors, including competitive pressures, success of integration, market interest rates, changes in customer mix, changes in pharmaceutical manufacturers pricing and distribution policies or practices, regulatory changes, changes in the Peoples Republic of Chinas policies, customer defaults or insolvencies, acquisition of businesses that do not perform as we expect or that are difficult for us to integrate or control, adverse resolution of any contract or other disputes with customers and suppliers, or the loss of one or more key customer or supplier relationships, could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements. Certain additional factors that management believes could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements are set forth in this report in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors Risks Relating to Our Business in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Overview
BMP Sunstone Corporation, or the Company, a Delaware corporation, is a specialty pharmaceutical company with over-the-counter, or OTC, prescription drugs, manufacturing, marketing and distribution based in China. Through our subsidiaries, Sunstone (Tangshan) Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., or Sunstone, and Sunstone Shengda (Zhangjiakou) Pharmacy Co., Ltd. (formerly named Zhangjiakou Shengda Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.), or Shengda, we manufacture, market and distribute OTC products in China. In addition, through Beijing Medpharm Co. Ltd., or BMP China, Beijing Wanwei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., or Wanwei and Shanghai Rongheng Pharmaceutical Company, or Rongheng, we offer to foreign and domestic pharmaceutical manufacturers in China, services focused primarily on marketing and promotional services and distribution services. The Company, Sunstone, Shengda, BMP China, Wanwei and Rongheng are collectively referred to as the Company, we or our.
Financial Overview
Our future success will depend on the continued growth of Sunstones OTC and our licensed products. Sunstones sales and operating profit growth rate historically has been higher than Chinas pharmaceutical industry average growth rate. Sunstones strong brands of Goodbaby and Confort have helped Sunstone expand its revenue and increase its profitability. Sunstones brand name and product portfolio are critical to the continued success of its business. Sunstone has been broadening its products pipeline through internal development, acquisition and licensing of the domestic products. Through the acquisition of Shengda, we now have antibiotic products in our Goodbaby brand of products. The consumption of antibiotics has the highest market share for the pediatric drugs market in China. In addition, we expect that the acquisition of Shengda will enrich our product brands and allow us to provide additional high, medium and low end drugs.
On January 7, 2010, the Company appointed Yanping Zhao, the Companys Chief Operating Officer and Corporate Vice President, and Zhijun Tong, one of the Companys directors and General Manager of Sunstone, as its representatives on the Board of Shengda. Zhijun Tong was elected Chairman of the Board of Shengda and is Shengdas legal representative.

Table of Contents
Sunstone, as of January 7, 2010 has management control of Shengda and has consolidated its 50% ownership interest effective January 1, 2010.
On July 9, 2010, the Company appointed Zhijun Tong, one of the Companys directors and General Manager of Sunstone, as the Companys President.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash
As of June 30, 2010, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $22.3 million which represented 8.8% of our total assets. Our cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase and are primarily invested in short-term money market instruments and investments. However, we do not anticipate any losses with respect to such cash balances because the balances are invested in government backed securities.
Cash Flow
We anticipate that our June 30, 2010 balance of approximately $22.3 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our current level of operations for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including those factors described in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors Risks Relating to Our Business in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 as well as our ability to maintain our existing cost structure and return on sales, fund obligations for additional capital that will occur on additional product licenses and acquisitions and execute our business and strategic plans as currently conceived.
Net cash used in operating activities was $913,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This amount reflected our profit of $1,285,000, increased by $5,346,000 in net non-cash charges including bad debt and obsolesce expense of $369,000 amortization of intangible assets of $1,961,000, amortization of debt discount, debt premium and debt issuance costs of $174,000, stock based compensation expense of $1,341,000 depreciation and amortization of equipment and leasehold improvements of $1,516,000, loss on Alliance BMP payment of $300,000, decrease in deferred taxes of $300,000, increase on loss on disposal of assets of $8,000, and a decrease in non controlling interest of $23,000. In addition, we generated $7,544,000 of operating cash as a result in changes in certain of our operating assets and liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2010. The most significant changes were an increase in accrued expenses of $1,328,000 and decreases in Value Added Tax Receivable of $88,000, notes receivable of $2,518,000 and inventory of $320,000. Offsetting these changes were increases in accounts receivable of $8,819,000, prepaid and other current assets of $1,307,000 and other receivables of $27,000 and decreases due to related parties of $128,000, accounts payable of $1,437,000 and deferred revenues of $80,000.
Cash provided by investing activities was $7,347,000 which includes the proceeds from the disposal of Alliance BMP of $7,250,000, and cash received from the consolidation of Shengda of $700,000, reduced by the acquisition of property, plant and equipment of $603,000.
Net cash used in financing activities was $5,760,000, which consisted of the repayment of long term debt of $5,969,000 offset by proceeds from the exercise of options of $209,000.
Results of Operations
Critical Accounting Policies
Our managements discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets or liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other factors and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results might differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our critical accounting policies are described in Managements Discussion and Analysis included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. There have been no changes in these accounting policies.

(1) | Revenue and cost of goods sold for the Manufactured Products segment includes Sunstone for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 and Shengda for the three months ended June 30, 2010. |
Manufactured Products. The gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2010 of manufactured products was $16,135,000, which included $164,000 of amortization resulting from the Sunstone and Shengda acquisitions. The gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2009 of manufactured products was $12,695,000, which included $115,000 of amortization resulting from the Sunstone acquisition.

The gross profit for manufactured products was 71.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to 75.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Table of Contents
Debt Issuance Cost Amortization:
Our issuance cost amortization is the result of the long term debt financing costs we incurred in November 2007, January 2009 and March 2009. The Company defers debt issuance costs and amortizes the amount over the life of debt on a straight-line basis which approximates the effective interest method. The unamortized debt issuance cost was $483,000 as of June 30, 2010, and $109,000 of debt issuance costs had been amortized for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $97,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Loss on Derivatives:
The loss on derivative liability is in connection with the warrants which were issued as part of the common stock issuance in February 2009. The loss on derivatives was $447,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Equity Method Investment Income:
For our 50% investment in Shengda that was not fully consolidated but instead is included in our financial statements under the equity method of accounting for the three months ended June 30, 2009, the difference between our cost of our investment and our proportionate share of the equity in the underlying net assets is accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting we allocate the purchase price to the net assets acquired in the transaction at their respective estimated fair market values. The premium we pay that represents the excess cost over the underlying fair value of our proportionate share of the net assets acquired is referred to as equity method goodwill.
The following table provides a reconciliation of our equity method investment income. Prior to purchase accounting adjustments, Shengda generated net income of $334,000, or $167,000 for our 50% equity ownership. The total of amortization for the period was $102,000 which resulted in an equity method investment income of $65,000.

Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized $669,000 of income tax expense on profit before income taxes of $1,267,000. This compared to income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 of $372,000 on loss before income taxes of $1,360,000. China does not permit the filing of a consolidated tax return for the entities which are wholly owned by the Company, which results in Sunstone having income tax expense on profit before income taxes while the Companys has a consolidated loss before income taxes.

Interest Income:
Our interest income primarily consists of income earned on our cash and cash equivalents. We received interest income on our balances of cash and cash equivalents of $39,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and $63,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2010, the unamortized debt premium amounted to $110,000. Total premium amortization was $61,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and $45,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Interest Expense:
Our interest expense primarily consists of incurred interest from our long term debt financings. We had interest expense of $2,347,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and $2,475,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, of which total amortization of debt discount was $450,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we received the remaining balance from Alliance BMP. The company recorded $300,000 discount on the early receipt of the cash.
Debt Issuance Cost Amortization:
Our issuance cost amortization is the result of the long term debt financing costs we incurred in November 2007, January 2009 and March 2009. The Company defers debt issuance costs and amortizes the amount over the life of debt on a straight-line basis which approximates the effective interest method. The unamortized debt issuance cost was $483,000 as of June 30, 2010, and $235,000 of debt issuance costs had been amortized for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $225,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Gain on Derivatives:
The gain on derivative liability is in connection with the convertible notes issued in January 2009 which were amended in March 2009 and the warrants which were issued as part of the common stock issuance in February 2009. The gain on derivatives was $1,204,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Equity Method Investment Income:
For our 50% investment in Shengda that was not fully consolidated but instead is included in our financial statements under the equity method of accounting for the period February 16, 2009 through June 30, 2009, the difference between our cost of our investment and our proportionate share of the equity in the underlying net assets is accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting we allocate the purchase price to the net assets acquired in the transaction at their respective estimated fair market values. The premium we pay that represents the excess cost over the underlying fair value of our proportionate share of the net assets acquired, is referred to as equity method goodwill.
The following table provides a reconciliation of our equity method investment income. Prior to purchase accounting adjustments, Shengda generated net income of $474,000, or $237,000 for our 50% equity ownership. The total of amortization for the period was $155,000 which resulted in an equity method investment income of $82,000.

Income Taxes
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized $1,585,000 of income tax expense on profit before income taxes of $2,847,000. This compared to income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $1,154,000 on loss before income taxes of $2,497,000. China does not permit the filing of a consolidated tax return for the entities which are wholly owned by the Company, which results in Sunstone having income tax expense on profit before income taxes.
ITEM 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Foreign Exchange Rate Sensitivity
We are exposed to cash flow and earnings fluctuations resulting from foreign exchange rate variation because our operations are in China. This exposure arises from the translation of financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries Sunstone, Shengda, BMP China, Wanwei and Rongheng, from RMB, the functional currency of China, into United States dollars, our functional currency. For additional information on the risks associated with the RMB, see Item 1A Risk Factors Risks Related to Doing Business in China Fluctuations in the Chinese Renminbi could adversely affect our results of operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
We do not, as a routine matter, use hedging vehicles to manage foreign exchange exposures. As of June 30, 2010, a 10% unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rates affecting balance sheet transactional exposures would have resulted in a reduction in pre-tax profit of approximately $0.9 million. This hypothetical reduction on transactional exposure is based on the difference between June 30, 2010 actual foreign exchange rates and hypothetical rates assuming a 10% unfavorable change in foreign exchange rates on that date.
The translation of the balance sheets of our Chinese operations from RMB into U.S. dollars is sensitive to changes in foreign exchange rates. These translation gains or losses are recorded as translation adjustments within shareholders equity on our balance sheet. Using the example above, the hypothetical change in translation adjustments would be calculated by multiplying the net assets of our Chinese operations by a 10% unfavorable change in the applicable foreign exchange rates. As of June 30, 2010, our analysis indicated that these hypothetical changes would reduce shareholders equity by approximately $18.5 million or 11.7% of our June 30, 2010 shareholder equity of $158.1 million.

Interest Rate Sensitivity
We invest in high-quality financial instruments, primarily money market funds, federal agency notes, corporate debt securities, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper and United States treasury notes, which we believe are subject to limited credit risk. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. Due to the short-term nature of our investments, we do not believe that we have any material exposure to interest rate risk arising from our investments.
ITEM 4. | Controls and Procedures |
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our first fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
