1. ORGANIZATION
AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
China
Agritech Inc. (the “Company” or “China Agritech”) is a
holding company whose direct and indirect subsidiaries manufacture and sell
organic liquid compound fertilizers, organic granular compound fertilizers and
related agricultural products. The Company conducts its business operations
primarily through its subsidiaries including Anhui Agritech Agriculture
Development Limited (“Anhui Agritech”),
Beijing Agritech Fertilizer Ltd. (“Beijing Agritech”),
China Tailong Holdings Company Limited (“Tailong”) and Pacific
Dragon Fertilizers Co. Ltd. (“Pacific Dragon”). The
Company’s revenues are derived from the sale of fertilizers and related
agricultural products to customers.
Changes
in Capital Structure
On
September 8, 2009, the Company effected a reverse split of its common stock on
the basis of one share for every four outstanding shares, so that every four
outstanding shares of common stock before the reverse stock split was converted
into one share of common stock after the reverse stock split. On February 1,
2010, the Company effected a 2 for 1 forward split of its common stock on the
basis of two shares for every one outstanding shares, so that every outstanding
share of common stock before the forward stock split was converted into two
shares of common stock after the forward stock split. Except as otherwise noted,
all references to common share and per common share amounts (including warrant
and option shares, shares reserved for issuance and applicable exercise prices)
for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements have been
retroactively restated to reflect the reverse and forward splits.
2. BASIS
OF PRESENTATION
These
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of China Agritech and all
of its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
These
interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim
consolidated financial statements have been included. The results
reported in the consolidated financial statements for any interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire
year. These interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and do not include all information and footnotes necessary
for a complete presentation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These unaudited
interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31,
2009 and 2008, and accompanying footnotes included in Company’s annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

3. RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS
Effective
January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the provisions in ASU 2009-17,
“Consolidation (ASC Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by
Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities”, which changes how a
company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not
controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The
adoption of the provisions in ASU 2009-17 did not have an impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Effective
January 1, 2010, the Company adopted ASU 2010-01, “Equity (ASC Topic 505):
Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash”,
which clarifies that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that
allow them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the
total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate
is considered a share issuance that is reflected prospectively in earnings per
share and is not considered a stock dividend for purposes of ASC Topic 505 and
ASC Topic 260. The adoption of the provisions in ASU 2010-01 did not have an
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Effective
January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the provisions in ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair
Value Measurements, which requires new disclosures related to transfers in and
out of levels 1 and 2 and activity in level 3 fair value measurements, as well
as amends existing disclosure requirements on level of disaggregation and inputs
and valuation techniques. The adoption of the provisions in ASU 2010-06 did not
have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Other
accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other
standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are
not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial
Statements upon adoption.
4. EARNINGS
PER SHARE
Basic
earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the assumption that all
dilutive warrant and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is
computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and
warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the
time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to
purchase common stock at the average market price during the
period.
On
September 8, 2009, the Company effected a 1-for-4 reverse split of its common
stock. On February 1, 2010, the Company effected a 2-for-1 forward split
of its common stock. The weighted average number of shares for the purposes of
calculating the earnings per share has been retroactively adjusted as if the
reverse split and the forward split had taken effect as of the beginning of the
earliest period presented.

5. FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
ASC Topic
820, Fair Value Measurement
and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be
received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the
principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also
establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on
observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value
hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable
inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy
consists of three levels:
Level one
— Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities;
Level two
— Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly
observable; and
Level
three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are
developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market
participant would use.
Determining
which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires
significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each
quarter.
The
Company had no assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
basis as of June 30, 2010.
The
following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair
value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2010 and December 31,

5. FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – CONTINUED
Derivative
Instruments – Warrants
As of
December 31, 2009, the Company’s only derivative instruments included warrants,
the exercise price of which are denominated in a currency other than the
Company’s functional currency, as follows:
▪
|
1,857,024
warrants (“2009 Warrants”) exercisable at approximately $5.385 per share
at any time during the period from April 19, 2010 through April 2012, that
were issued in conjunction with a private placement of the Company’s
common stock completed in October
2009.
|
Effective
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the guidance provided in FASB ASC
815-40-15-5 through 815-40-15-8 (formerly EITF 07-5, Determining Whether an
Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock”). ASC
815-40-15-5 through 815-40-15-8 applies to any freestanding financial
instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative,
as defined in ASC paragraph 815-10-15-83 (formerly SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,”) and to any freestanding
financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common
stock.
The 2009
warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and were recorded
at their fair value as derivative liabilities. In addition, they did not qualify
for hedge accounting, and as such, all changes in the fair value of these
warrants were recognized as other income or expenses. These warrants were
reported as liability until such time as they were exercised or
expire.
As of
June 21, 2010, a total of 1,857,024 warrants were exercised at $5.385 per share,
with total consideration of $10,000,074. Carlyle Asia Growth Partners IV, L.P
and CAGP IV Co-Investment, L.P received 1,705,249 common shares and 151,775
common shares respectively as a result of their exercise of the
warrants.
As of
June 21, 2010, the Company estimates the fair value of warrants using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following
assumptions:
On June
21, 2010, all of the 2009 Warrants were exercised at $5.385 each in cash. The
Company accounted for the exercise of these warrants as extinguishment of debts
in accordance with ASC 815-10-40-1, “Derivatives and Hedges – De-recognition”.
In accordance with ASC 470-50-40, “Debt – Modification and Extinguishments –
De-recognition”, a gain of $1,629,465 in aggregate was recognized as the
difference between the reacquisition price (determined based on the closing
price of the common stock of $13.3 each issued to settle the warrant liabilities
less the exercise price of $5.38 each received) and the fair value of the
warrants of $8.7925 each at the date of exercise. The fair values of the 2009
Warrants on June 21, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were determined using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following
assumptions:

INCOME
TAXES
|
The
entities within the Company file separate tax returns in the respective tax
jurisdictions that they operate.
The
Company’s operating subsidiaries are subject to PRC enterprise income tax
(“EIT”). Before January 1, 2008, the PRC EIT rate was generally 33%.
In March 2007, the PRC government
enacted a new PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the New EIT
Law, and promulgated related regulation, Implementation Regulations for the PRC Enterprise Income Tax
Law. The New EIT Law and
Implementation Regulations became effective from January 1, 2008. The New EIT
Law, among other things, imposes a unified income tax rate of 25% for both
domestic and foreign invested enterprises registered in the PRC. The New
EIT Law provides for a grandfathering and five-year transition period from its
effective date for those enterprises which were established before the
promulgation date of the New EIT Law and which were entitled to a preferential
EIT treatment. Accordingly, Beijing Agritech and Anhui Agritech as wholly foreign-owned
enterprises have continued to be entitled to tax exemption for the two years
ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and a 50% reduction on its EIT rate for the
ensuing three years ended December 31, 2010 through 2012.
The provision for income taxes for three and six
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 consisted of the following:

value of warrants of $13,307,462 and gain on extinguishment of warrant liability
of $1,629,465. Non-taxable income for the six months ended June 30,
2010 consisted of the change in fair value of warrants of $3,829,985 and
gain on extinguishment of warrant liability of $1,629,465.
Non-deductible
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 primarily consisted of the
share-based compensation of $812,025 and other operating expenses incurred in
other tax jurisdiction where no tax benefit would be realized. Non-deductible
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily consisted of the
share-based compensation of $4,224,382 and other operating expenses incurred in
other tax jurisdiction where no tax benefit would be realized.
Currently,
the Company has considered share based compensation to be a non-deductible
expense and has treated it as such in the computations of the estimated tax
provisions. The Company intends to pursue the deductibility of this
expense with appropriate government officials and if successful negotiations
ensue, these expenses could at least in part be deductible. Should this occur,
future tax provisions would reflect the change in this treatment and the
revised treatment would be applied to those expenses currently considered
non-deductible.”

Company, with varying vesting periods among different grantees in accordance
with the terms of the agreements entered into by the Company and the
grantees.
The fair value of the options granted
during the six months ended June 30, 2010 has been estimated on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the
weighted-average assumptions noted in the following table. Expected
volatilities are based on
historical volatility of the Company’s stock, and reflect the assumption that
the historical volatilities are indicative of future trends, which may not
necessarily be the actual outcome. Expected term of each option award represents
the period of time that options granted
are expected to be outstanding and is estimated based on the historical exercise
behavior of separate groups of employees or officers. The risk-free rate
reflects the interest rate for United States Treasury Note with similar
time-to-maturity to that of the options.

On
January 6, 2005, the Company’s subsidiary Pacific Dragon entered into a license
agreement with Mr. Yu Chang, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and
President. Under this license agreement, Mr. Chang granted an exclusive license
to Pacific Dragon for the use of certain know-how in manufacturing organic
liquid compound fertilizer on a royalty-free basis. The Company continues to
refine the manufacturing know-how of the product at its expense. In order to
translate such know-how to practicable applications in commercial production,
the Company has continued to develop the manufacturing know-how of the product
at its expense. The Company considers that the know-how would have had an
insignificant value without the Company’s development initiatives. On December
3, 2005, Mr. Chang and Pacific Dragon entered into another license agreement
pursuant to which the term of the license was extended to a permanent license.
In accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated June 29, 2007, among

The shares of common stock were valued by using the closing share price of
$17.61 per share at approximately $5,751,426 and amortized over the vesting
period. The Company omitted to record the stock compensation expense
of $3,257,410 for three months ended March 31, 2010.
Also, the
Company incorrectly eliminated the inter-company sales and cost of sales for
three months ended March 31, 2010 and as a result, the sales and cost of sales
were understated and the profit on inter-company sales of $115,200 was
incorrectly recorded as other operating income offset against operating
expenses. The incorrect treatment of the inter company transactions had no
impact on net income.
The
comparison of income statements for three months ended March 31, 2010, which
presented in Form 10-Q and filed with the SEC with the revised income statements
for three months ended March 31, 2010; income statements for three months ended

Our
Business
We
manufacture and sell organic liquid compound fertilizers, organic granular
compound fertilizers and related agricultural products in the PRC through our
direct and indirect subsidiaries: Anhui Agritech Development Co.
Ltd. (“Anhui Agritech”), Agritech Fertilizer Limited (“Beijing
Agritech”), China Tailong Holdings Company Limited (“Tailong”), Pacific Dragon
Fertilizer Co. Ltd. (“Pacific Dragon”), and Xinjiang Agritech Agriculture
Resources Co., Ltd (“Xinjiang Agritech”).
Our
annual liquid fertilizer production capacity in 2008 was approximately 13,000
metric tons of organic liquid compound fertilizers. We commenced sales of our
organic granular compound fertilizers in the third quarter of
2008. Until September 2009, our annual production capacity for
granular fertilizers was approximately 150,000 metric tons, consisting of
100,000 metric tons in Anhui and 50,000 metric tons in Harbin. In
September 2009, we expanded our annual production capacity for granular
fertilizers to approximately 200,000 metric tons by completing another 50,000
granular plant in Xinjiang. Our Xinjiang
granular plant commenced its commercial production in the second quarter of
2010.
We
believe that our brand reputation and ability to tailor our products to meet the
requirements of various regions of the PRC affords us a competitive advantage.
We purchase the majority of our raw materials from suppliers located in the PRC
and use suppliers that are located in close proximity to our manufacturing
facilities, which helps us to contain our cost of revenue.
The
demand for our products has steadily increased. Our half year production
capacity as of June 30, 2010 was approximately 5,809 metric tons of organic
liquid compound fertilizers whereas our annual production capacity for granular
fertilizers was approximately 73,881 metric tons.
We
currently plan to build and operate approximately 10 and 45 branded
large-scale distribution centers in central and eastern provinces in 2010 and
2011, respectively, to sell our organic fertilizers and third party sourced
products, including seeds, pesticides, and other agricultural products to
franchised retail stores, and intend to expand into southern and western
provinces starting from 2012. We anticipate that each distribution center will
cost approximately $1 million to build and can supply 80 to 100 franchised
retail stores in its geographic area. Because we do not expect that the
distribution centers will sell products on a retail basis, we intend to
initially engage our current distributors to become the franchisees of such
retail stores. We will not own the retail stores and will not receive
any franchise fees from the stores, but we will provide product sourcing,
training, expertise and logistic services to our franchisees In
return, the retail stores will be required to commit to sell our organic
fertilizers, together with third party products sourced by us. We
believe that our planned distribution centers and franchised retail stores in
the PRC could enable us to introduce farmers, especially individual
farmers, to our products, educate them about the benefits of organic fertilizer
over chemical fertilizer, and teach them how to properly use our products in a
more cost effective manner. We believe that these franchised stores could also
introduce our products to a vast network of farmers who otherwise operate
outside of our existing distribution network and outside of the reach of
traditional advertising media. Our anticipated schedule of building and
operating these branded distribution centers depends upon a variety of
factors, many of which are outside of our control. Accordingly, our current
build-out schedule, may change.

Net
Revenue.
Our net
revenue rose to $34.3 million for the three-months period ended June 30, 2010,
an increase of approximately $13.3 million, or 63% as compared to $21 million
for the same period in 2009. The increase in our net revenues was mainly
attributable to the increase in sales in both organic liquid fertilizer and
organic granular compound fertilizer. Sales of organic liquid fertilizer
recorded $20 million, whereas organic granular compound fertilizer attributed
$14.3 million for the three-months period ended June 30, 2010 which was an
increased of 43% and 103% respectively as compared to last year same period,
which recorded $14 million and $7 million sales of organic liquid fertilizer and
organic granular compound fertilizer respectively. The increase in sales was
mainly due to the introduction of a new product, organic granular compound
fertilizer in the second quarter of 2009. The Company received good
market response since the product was launched, especially the first half 2010.
Higher market demand on organic granular compound in first half year due to
organic granular compound fertilizer used as base manure before seeding, whereas
organic liquid fertilizer used when the plantation to grow, normally the demand
on organic liquid fertilizer will increase from May onwards. The introduction of
organic granular compound fertilizer solved the seasonality problem which
normally occurs in the first half of year during the traditionally slow period
for organic liquid fertilizer.
19
The
increase in sales of our traditional organic liquid compound fertilizer products
was mainly due to the expansion of our customer base to newly established
markets in the central and southern regions of China.
Cost of
Revenue.
Our cost
of revenue for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 increased by $10.4
million, or 86%, as compared to the same period in 2009. Cost of goods sold
reported $22.4 million whereas the same period in 2009 recorded $12 million. Our
cost of revenue primarily consists of the cost of our raw materials, direct
labor and manufacturing overhead expenses. Our increase in cost of revenue is
generally consistent with the increase in sales especially for granular
fertilizer which contributed 42% of total sales and with a higher cost of
materials used as compared to organic liquid fertilizer.
Gross
Profit.
Our gross
profit for three-month period ended June 30, 2010 recorded $11.9 million,
increased by $2.9 million or 33%, as compared to the same period in 2009 which
was reported $9 million. Overall gross profit margin for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2010 was 34.7%, as compared to 42.7% for the same period in 2009.
The decrease in overall gross profit margin was mainly due to the increase in
organic granular compound fertilizer‘s sales which granular fertilizer sales
incurred higher material costs and recorded a lower profit margin than liquid
fertilizer.
Our
organic granular compound fertilizer products recorded a gross profit margin of
20.3% for three-month period ended June 30, 2010, there was no significant
change as compared with same period 2009, which recorded as 21.7%. There was
slight decrease of gross profit margin organic liquid fertilizer products, which
recorded a gross profit margin of 45% for the three-month period ended June 30,
2010, as compared with 53.3% for the same period in 2009. The decrease in gross
profit margin was mainly due to the company has improved its formula of organic
liquid fertilizer. More raw materials used in new formula to enhance the
quality of product, thus, the material costs increase accordingly.
Selling
Expenses.
Our selling expenses consist primarily
of advertising and promotion expenses, freight charges salaries and travelling
expenses. Our selling expenses were $1.3 million for the three-month
period ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $0.6 million for the same period in
2009, an increase of $0.7 million. The increase in selling expenses was mainly
due to significant increase in promotion expenses which were reported at $0.4
million, an increase of $0.37 million compared to the three-month period ended
June 2009. This increase is in line with the increase in sales volume, and
handling charges accordingly. There was slight increase in selling expenses as a
percentage to net revenue, from approximately 3% for the three months ended June
30, 2009 to approximately 4% for three months ended June 30, 2010.
General and Administrative
Expenses.
Our
general and administrative expenses were $2.6 million for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2010, an increased of $1.7 million, representing a 200% increase
as compared to $0.87 million for the same period in 2009. General and
administrative expenses consist primarily of staff costs,
such as salaries and bonus, stock-based compensation expenses for management,
professional fees, audit fees, rental and others. The increase in administrative
expenses was primarily due to non-cash charges $0.81 million which related to
shares option and stock granted to our director and management. Besides,
franchise tax, insurance expenses, research and development costs and
audit fees increased by $0.18 million, $0.12 million, $0.26 million, $0.17
million, and $ 0.19 million respectively.
20
Income from
Operations.
Income
from operations was $8.0 million for the three months period ended June 30, 2010
and increased by $0.5 million or 7%, as compared to $7.5 million for the same
period in 2009. The increase was primarily because of the increase in
gross profit by $2.9 million but offset by the increase in selling and general
and administrative expenses by $0.7 million and $1.7 million
respectively.
Other
Income
Other
income consists of the change in fair value of warrant classified as
derivatives, recognition of gain on extinguishment of warrants classified as
derivatives, interest income and exchange gain/loss. The increase in other
income was mainly attributable to a non-cash charge of $13.3 million resulting
from the change in the fair value of the warrants classified as derivative
instruments and recognition of gain on extinguishment of warrants classified as
derivatives of $1.6 million.
Income
tax.
The
Company incurred income tax expense of $1.5 million, representing an effective
tax rate of 6.6%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, as compared
to 21.5% for the same period in 2009. The decrease in the effective tax rate was
primarily caused by the non-taxable income from the gain on extinguishment of
warrant liability of $1.6 million and gain on changes in fair value of warrants
of $13.3 million, which in aggregate had a tax effect of 16.6% on the Company’s
income before tax.
Net
Income
We
recorded a net income attributable to common shareholders of $21 million for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2010 as compared to a net income of $5.9
million for the same period in 2009, increase of $15.6 million, or 266%. If we
excluded the non-cash gain resulting from the change in the fair value of the
warrants of $13.3 million, the gain on extinguishment of warrants classified as
derivatives $1.6 million, and share based compensation expenses $1.3 million, we
would have recorded a net income of $7.4 million, an effective increase of $1.4
million, or 24.4% growth, as compared to the same period in
2009.

attributable to the increase in sales of organic granular compound fertilizer
which was reported as $25.3 million, increase by $18.2 million, or representing
259%, as compared with same period in 2009. Our traditional organic liquid
fertilizer product reported net revenue of $28.9 million for six-month period
ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $7.6 million, or 35.7%, as compared to $21
million for the same period in 2009. The increase in sales was mainly due to the
introduction of a new product, organic granular compound fertilizer in second
quarter of 2009. The Company received good market response since product
launched, especially in the first half of 2010. Higher market demand on organic
granular compound in first half year due to organic granular compound fertilizer
used as base manure before seeding, whereas organic liquid fertilizer used when
the plantation to grow, normally the demand on organic liquid fertilizer will

43% for the same period in 2009. The slight decrease was due to increase in
sales of organic granular compound fertilizer which has a lower profit margin
earned.

19.6% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, whereas our traditional
organic liquid fertilizer products recorded a gross profit margin of 46.4%.
Organic granular compound fertilizer products and organic liquid fertilizer

charge of $4.2 million as a result of the amortization of the stock granted to
our directors and management under our option plan, and franchise tax of $0.2
million. In addition, increase in legal and professional fees, listing fees and
audit fees were also incurred as a result of the successful listing of our
shares on the NASDAQ Global Market.
Income from
Operations.
Income
from operations was $9.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010,
as compared to $9.4 million for the same period in 2009, decrease of
approximately $0.4 million, or 5%. See note 12 - Income Taxes - for the
explanation of why the effective tax rate varied from the statutory
rate.
23
Other
Income.
Other
income was consisted of the change in fair value of warrant classified as
derivatives, interest income and exchange gain/loss. The increase in other
income was mainly attributable to a non-cash charge of $3.8 million resulting
from the change in fair value of warrants classified as derivative instruments
and recognition of gain on extinguishment of Carlyle warrant liability of $1.6
million in June 2010.
Income
tax.
We
incurred income tax expense of $2.7 million, representing an effective tax rate
of 18.4%, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to 24.5% for
the same period in 2009. See note 12 - Income Taxes - for the explanation of why
the tax rate varies from the statutory rate.
Net
Income.
We recorded a net income of $11.8
million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the net
income of $7.1 million for the same period in 2009. If we excluded the non-cash
charge resulting from the change in fair value of the warrants liability of $3.8
million, gain on extinguishment of warrant liability of $1.6 million, and stock
compensation costs $4.2 million, we would have recorded a net income of $10.6
million, an effective increase of $3.5 million, or 49% growth, as compared to
the same period in 2009.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
June 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $51.7 million, an increase of
$31.4 million, from $20.3 million as at December 31, 2009, which is principally
attributable to the cash proceeds from public offering transaction in May, 2010
and the exercise of the warrants in June 2010. Our current assets totaled $140.3
million as of June 30, 2010, while our current liabilities totaled $6.4 million,
which results in a current ratio of 20 times.
We had no bank loans or other interest
bearing borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2010.
We believe that our currently available
working capital will be sufficient to maintain our operations at the current
level and for at least the next twelve months.

Operating
Activities
We generated $1 million of net cash
from operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, as
compared to net cash generated of $8 million from operating activities for the
same period in 2009. The decrease in net cash from operating activities was
mainly attributable to the increase in advances to suppliers, increase in other
payables, accrued expenses which amounted to $1.4 million, $4.4 million, $2
million respectively. The increase was offsetting with the decrease in accounts
receivable, other receivable and accrued expenses.
Investing
Activities:
Net cash used in investing activities
was $0.52 million for six months ended June 30, 2010, which was an decrease
of $2.5 million from the $3 million net cash used in investing activities for
the same period in 2009. Net cash used in investing activities decreased was due
to reduce in additional fixed assets and no acquisition of subsidiary activity
as compared to the same period of last year.
Financing
Activities
Net cash generated from financing
activities increase of $30.8 million, which is principally attributable to
the cash proceeds from the public offering of 1,243,000 shares of our common
stocks and the exercise of the warrants 186,450 shares with exercise price
$16.10 per share with total consideration $20.1 million and on June 21, 2010,
the Company received net proceeds $10 million from the exercise of the 2009
warrants, with 1,857,024 shares, exercise price $5.385 per share. The proceeds
was netting off with listing expenses. No cash provided from financing
activities in the same period of last year due to no financing activities
incurred.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires our
management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related
disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We consider our critical
accounting policies to be those that require the most significant judgments and
estimates in the preparation of financial statements, including the
following:
|
·
|
Accounts
Receivable. Our policy is to maintain reserves for potential
credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition
of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer
concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and
changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these
reserves.
|
25
|
·
|
Inventories.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a
weighted average basis) or net market value. Our management compares the
cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made
for inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for
inventories with net realizable value, if lower than the
cost.
|
|
·
|
Impairment.
We apply the provisions of ASC 360-10-35, “Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets Subsections” (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets’), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”). ASC Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
Subsections require that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated
undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual
disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an
impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying
value exceeds the fair value.
|
|
·
|
Fixed
Assets. We test long-lived assets, including property, plant and
equipment and intangible assets subject to periodic amortization, for
recoverability at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of
an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is
greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the
lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely
independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. We consider
historical performance and future estimate results in our evaluation of
potential impairment and then compare the carrying amount of the asset to
the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the
asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected
undiscounted future cash flows, we measure the amount of impairment by
comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The
estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected
future cash flows at the rate we utilize to evaluate potential
investments. We estimate fair value based on the information available in
making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered
necessary.

·
|
Revenue
Recognition. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of
shipment from the Company’s facilities to customers when a formal
arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is
completed, no other significant obligations of our company exist and
collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the
relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as
unearned revenue. Our revenue consists of invoiced value of goods, net of
a value-added tax (“VAT”). No product return or sales discount allowance
is made as products delivered and accepted by customers are normally not
returnable and sales discounts are normally not granted after products are
delivered.

Foreign
currency translation. We use U.S. dollars for financial reporting
purposes. Our subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their
functional currency, RMB, being the primary currency of the PRC, the
economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general,
for consolidation purposes, we translate our subsidiaries’ assets and
liabilities into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates
prevailing at the balance sheet date, and the statement of income is
translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. Gain or
loss on foreign currency transactions are reflected on the income
statement. Gain or loss on financial statement translation from foreign
currency are recorded as a separate component in the equity section of the
balance sheet, as component of comprehensive income. The functional
currency of our Company is RMB. Until July 21, 2005, RMB had been pegged
to the U.S. dollar at the rate of RMB 8.28:$1.00. On July 21, 2005, the
PRC government reformed the exchange rate system into a managed floating
exchange rate system based on market supply and demand with reference to a
basket of currencies. In addition, the exchange rate of RMB to U.S.
dollars was adjusted to RMB 8.11:$1.00 as of July 21, 2005. The People’s
Bank of China announces the closing price of a foreign currency such as
U.S. dollar traded against RMB in the inter-bank foreign exchange market
after the closing of the market on each working day, which will become the
unified exchange rate for the trading against RMB on the following working
day. The daily trading price of U.S. dollars against RMB in the inter-bank
foreign exchange market is allowed to float within a band of 0.3% around
the unified exchange rate published by the People’s Bank of China. This
quotation of exchange rates does not imply free convertibility of RMB to
other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to
take place either through the People’s Bank of China or other banks
authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted
by the People’s Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by
the People’s Bank of China or other institutions require submitting a
payment application form together with invoices, shipping documents and
signed contracts.

Stock-based
Compensation. The Company accounts for stock-based
compensation arrangements in accordance with ASC 718-10 (formerly SFAS No.
123R “Share-Based Payment”) and measures the cost of services received as
consideration for equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred in
share-based compensation transactions based on the grant-date fair value
of the equity instruments issued or the liabilities settled, net of any
amount that an employee pays for that instrument when it is granted. The
Company recognizes compensation cost for an award with only service
conditions that has a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis
over the requisite service period for the entire award, provided that the
compensation cost recognized for any date must at least equal the portion
of the grant-date value of the award that is vested at that date. No
compensation cost is recognized for awards that do not vest (i.e. awards
for which the requisite service is not rendered). If an award is
cancelled, any previously unrecognized compensation cost is recognized
immediately at the cancellation date. However, if the cancellation is
accompanied by the concurrent grant of a replacement award, an incremental
compensation cost is recognized and measured as the excess of the fair
value of the replacement award over the fair value of the cancelled award
at the cancellation date.

ITEM
3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk
We do not
use derivative instruments for any speculative, trading or hedging purposes. As
of June 30, 2010, we did not have any interest bearing investment or borrowings.
Because most of our transactions including sales and purchases are denominated
and settled in RMB, any exchange rate change of RMB against U.S. dollar could
have an effect on our financial results which are reported in U.S. dollars. If
the RMB were to depreciate against the U.S. dollar, amounts reported in U.S.
dollars would correspondingly be reduced. If the RMB were to appreciate against
the U.S. dollar, amounts reported in U.S. dollars would correspondingly be
increased.

4 Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
Under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness, as of June 30, 2010, of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based on this evaluation, our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that,
as of June 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act
reports was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information was
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes
in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.
During
the course of the evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures as of
June 30, 2010 and in connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, management discovered it was
necessary to adjust the previously reported results for the first quarter ended
March 31, 2010 as a result of two accounting errors, which were the failure by
the Company to account for 326,600 shares of common stock awarded to directors
and officers for services during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and
incorrectly accounting for certain intercompany transactions for the quarter
ended March 31, 2010.
As a
result of these errors, management subsequently concluded that there was a
material weakness in its disclosure controls and procedures and internal
controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010. Management has
identified this material weakness to be inadequate supervision and review of the
financial reporting process relating to the preparation of US GAAP based
financial statements. As a result, management has determined it is necessary to
make changes in its internal controls over financial reporting, which would
specifically entail providing further training to the Company’s finance team to
improve their reporting skill levels with respect US GAAP technical issues.
Additionally, management will enhance controls over the review of its US
GAAP prepared financial statements prior to their release giving added emphasis
to the identification and accounting of unusual
transactions.
Due to
the material weakness described above, management has determined to provide
further training to the Company’s finance team and other relevant personnel of
the Company in respect of identification of U.S. GAAP accounting guidance
applicable to the Company’s financial statements in order to address the
material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting.
