SHINER INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND 2009 (unaudited)

Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared by Shiner International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company” or “Shiner”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2010.

Organization and Line of Business

The Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Hainan Shiner Industrial Co., Ltd. (“Shiner Industrial”) and Zhuhai Modern Huanuo Packaging Material Co., Ltd. (“Zhuhai”), and its 70% owned subsidiary Shanghai Juneng Functional Film Company, Ltd, are engaged in the research, manufacture, sale, and distribution of packaging film and color printing for the packaging industry.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with US GAAP.  The Company’s functional currency is the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”); however, the accompanying consolidated financial statements were translated and presented in United States Dollars ($ or “USD”).

Noncontrolling Interest

On September 20, 2010, the Company commenced operations of a joint venture, Shanghai Juneng Functional Film Company, Ltd. (“Shanghai Juneng”), with Shanghai Shifu Film Material, Co., Ltd., (‘Shanghai Shifu”).  Under the terms of the agreement, Shiner owns 70% of the joint venture, and Shanghai Shifu owns the remaining 30%. The general manager of Shanghai Juneng reports directly to Shiner’s Chief Executive Officer.  Shanghai Juneng venture will focus on pursuing sales opportunities among China’s leading food producers in the Yangtze River Delta, one of China’s largest economic centers. 

The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation,” which establishes standards governing the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests (NCIs) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability, that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses, and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance. This standard also required changes to certain presentation and disclosure requirements.
 
The net income (loss) attributed to the NCI was separately designated in the accompanying statements of operations and other comprehensive income. Losses attributable to the NCI in a subsidiary may exceed the NCI’s interests in the subsidiary’s equity. The excess attributable to the NCI is attributed to those interests. The NCI shall continue to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit NCI balance.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the account of Shiner International, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.


Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of monies restricted by the Company’s lender related to its outstanding debt obligations.

Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains 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. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.

Advances to Suppliers

The Company makes advances to certain suppliers for the purchase of its materials. The advances to suppliers are interest free and unsecured.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of the inventory’s cost (weighted average basis) or the current market price of the inventory. Management compares the cost of inventory with its market value and an allowance is made to write down inventory to market value, if lower.

Notes Receivable

Notes receivable consist of bank notes received from customers as payment of on their accounts receivable balance. The notes are guaranteed by a bank and bear no interest. The notes are generally due within six months from the date of issuance.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and improvements are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as follows:

Operating equipment
 
10 years
 
Vehicles
 
8 years
 
Office equipment
 
5 years
 
Buildings and improvements

Depreciation was $404,752 and $1,206,248 for three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and $441,828 and $1,331,282 for three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.

Construction-in-Progress

Construction-in-progress mainly consists of amounts expended to build a new manufacturing workshop in Hainan. The project was substantially completed by September 30, 2010.  Once the project is completed, the project will be transferred from “Construction-in-progress” to “Property and equipment, net.”  The total cost of the new Hainan manufacturing workshop is expected to be approximately $12 million.  In October 2009, the Company received a government grant for this project of approximately $4.3 million from the Hainan Province Finance Bureau (“HPFB”).  The Company is required to provide detailed expenses of the construction project to the HPFB.  At the end of the project, the government will determine if the funds were used in accordance with the grant.  If the funds have not been used in accordance with the government grant, the Company is required to pay back the grant.  At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the $4.3 million government grant was recorded as “Other payables” on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced to recognize the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (audited), there was no significant impairment of its long-lived assets.

The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets, other long-lived assets, and goodwill is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. In addition, the Company has long-term debt with financial institutions. The carrying amounts of the line of credit and other long-term liabilities approximate their fair values based on current rates of interest for instruments with similar characteristics.


 
·
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 
·
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 
·
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology us one or more unobservable inputs which are significant to the fair value measurement.
 
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”

As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (audited), the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policies comply with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 104. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the 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.

Government Grants

Government grants received by the Company are initially recorded as a liability.  At the end of the project for which the government grant is received, the government will determine if the funds were used in accordance with the grant.  If the government determines that the funds have been used for their intended purpose, the amount of the government grant is then offset against the cost of the project.  If the funds have not been used in accordance with the government grant, the Company is required to pay back the grant.  At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company recorded a $4.3 million government grant as “Other payables” on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Other Income

Included in other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 is $73,960 and $220,650, respectively, arising from a payment from the Company’s former landlord for vacating leased space at the request of the landlord.  The Company expects to receive one additional payment of $73,225 in 2010.  The Company recognizes other income in the period that the Company has earned the revenue and collectability is reasonably assured.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred or, as appropriate, the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were not significant.

Research and Development
 
The Company expenses its research and development costs as incurred. Research and development costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $725,839 and $1,211,626, respectively, as compared to $143,281 and $282,148, respectively, for the comparable 2009 periods.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.”  ASC 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees. There were 190,000 options outstanding as of September 30, 2010.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the ASC Topic 260, “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 convertible shares and stock warrants were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, 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.  There were 190,000 options and 970,050 warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2010. There were 250,000 options and 970,050 warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2009.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s average stock price was not greater than any of the exercise prices.

Foreign Currency Translation

The accounts of the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries are maintained in RMB and the accounts of the U.S. parent company are maintained in USD.   The accounts of the Chinese subsidiaries were translated into USD in accordance with ASC Topic 830, “Foreign Currency Matters,” with the RMB as the functional currency for the Chinese subsidiaries.  According to ASC Topic 830, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statement of operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income.”  Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operations.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income

US GAAP generally requires recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain statements, however, require entities to report specific changes in assets and liabilities, such as gain or loss on foreign currency translation, as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. The functional currency of the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries is the RMB. Translation gains of $3,625,700 and $2,980,077 (audited) at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, are classified as an item of other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets.

Statement of Cash Flows

In accordance ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rates. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets.

Segment Reporting

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company has determined it has two reportable segments. See Note 10.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-15 regarding accounting for own-share lending arrangements in contemplation of convertible debt issuance or other financing.  ASU No. 2009-15 requires that at the date of issuance of the shares in a share-lending arrangement entered into in contemplation of a convertible debt offering or other financing, the shares issued shall be measured at fair value and be recognized as an issuance cost, with an offset to additional paid-in capital. Further, loaned shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs, at which time the loaned shares would be included in the basic and diluted earnings-per-share calculation.  ASU No. 2009-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU No. 2009-15 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On December 15, 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, Topic 820 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.”  ASU No. 2010-06 requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurements as set forth in ASC Subtopic 820-10. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting.  The adoption of ASU No. 2010-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On February 25, 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events, Topic 855, “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” which was immediately effective. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-09 remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of US GAAP. The FASB believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the SEC’s literature. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On March 5, 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11, Derivatives and Hedging, Topic 815, “Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives.”  ASU No. 2010-11 clarifies the guidance within the derivative literature that exempts certain credit related features from analysis as potential embedded derivatives requiring separate accounting. ASU No. 2010-11 specifies that an embedded credit derivative feature related to the transfer of credit risk that is only in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another is not subject to bifurcation from a host contract under ASC Subtopic 815-15-25, Derivatives and Hedging — Embedded Derivatives — Recognition.  All other embedded credit derivative features should be analyzed to determine whether their economic characteristics and risks are “clearly and closely related” to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and whether bifurcation is required. ASU No. 2010-11 is effective for the Company on July 1, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2010-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We develop, manufacture and distribute packaging film and color printed packaging through our operating subsidiaries. Our products include coated film, shrink-wrap film, common film, anti-counterfeit laser holographic film and color printed packaging materials. All of our operations are based in China and each of our subsidiaries was formed under the laws of the PRC.

We currently conduct our business through our operating subsidiaries Shiner Industrial located in Haikou, Hainan Province and Zhuhai located in Guangdong Province.  We have two segments:  packaging film and color printed packaging.  We operate several product lines within the packaging film segment: coated film, biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) tobacco film, and anti-counterfeit film. The following table sets forth the product line and the percentage of total revenue each product line generated for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:

    6 %     9 %

Our current production capacity consists of:

 
·
five coated film lines with a total capacity of 15,000 tons a year;
 
·
one BOPP tobacco film production line with a total capacity of 3,500 tons a year;
 
·
one BOPP film production line with a total capacity of 7,000 tons a year;
 
·
three color printing lines; and
 
·
four anti-counterfeit film lines with a total capacity of 2,500 tons a year.

We are targeting growth through four main channels:

 
·
continuing our efforts to gain international market share in coated film through better pricing and excellent after-sale service;
 
·
expanding our sales in anti-counterfeit film, especially to high-end brand spirits and cigarette manufacturers;
 
·
developing “next generation” films; and
 
·
exploring the possible acquisition of a technology or distribution company.

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased 79.2%, or $6.9 million, to $15.5 million compared to $8.7 million in the third quarter of 2009. The revenue from goods sold was $15.1 million at September 30, 2010 and $8.7 million at September 30, 2009, representing approximately 97.3% and 100%, respectively, of total revenue. This increase was mainly a result of increased sales across all of our product lines.  BOPP tobacco revenue increased 19.3%, or $0.6 million, in the third quarter of 2010 to $3.7 million from $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2009. Coated film revenue increased 154.6%, or $3.7 million, to $6.1 million in the third quarter of 2010 from $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2009. Our anti-counterfeit revenue increased 103.9%, or $2.3 million, to $4.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $2.2 million in the comparable period of 2009. Our color printing segment revenues decreased 15.2%, or $0.2 million, to $0.8 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2010 from $1.0 million in the comparable period of 2009.

The increase in revenue was primarily caused by two factors: an increase in domestic product volume and an improvement in our sales prices.  Approximately 80.9%, or $12.2 million, of our total sales in the third quarter 2010 were made domestically to Chinese companies.  For the comparable period in 2009, approximately 64%, or $5.56 million, of our total sales were made domestically.  The Company provides coated film to its largest customer who manufactures snack cakes and its remaining top 3 customers are tobacco manufacturers who use our BOPP tobacco film.

Internationally, we sell only three lines of products: anti-counterfeit film, coated film, and color printing.  International sales for the three months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $2.9 million, or 19%, of our total revenues and represented a $0.2 million decrease, or 7%, from the $3.1 million in international sales for the comparable period in 2009. The decrease was not significant. All international sales are indirect using a network of distributors and converters. For the third quarter of 2010, no international customer represented 5% or more of total sales.

Our five largest customers accounted for 14%,7%,6%, 6% and 4% of our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 14%, 10%, 9%, 7% and 6% of our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold increased $4.9 million, or 69%, from $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This increase was a result of increased volumes and represented 77.9% and 82.7% of our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The decrease in the cost of goods sold as a percentage of our revenues primarily resulted from declines in the per unit costs of our packaging film segment.

 
20

 

For the third quarter of 2010, our coated film line experienced a 9% decrease in per unit costs as a result of decreases in raw material costs, decreases in variable costs, and higher volumes, which produced a 60% decrease in overhead rates on a unit cost basis. Our unit cost in the BOPP tobacco film line decreased by 10% in the third quarter of 2010 as a result of a stable raw material unit costs and lower variable costs, which were a result of the restructuring of our operations in the fourth quarter of 2009. Overhead rates decreased 13% due to an increase in factory utilization for 2010. The unit cost of production of our anti-counterfeit film increased 23% in the third quarter of 2010. Raw material prices increased and increased volumes lowered overhead rates in the anti-counterfeit film line.

Unit costs in our color printing segment increased in the third quarter of 2010 as a direct result of increased overhead due to the decline in factory utilization rates and higher raw material costs.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $3.4 million, which resulted in a gross margin of 22.1% and an increase of 4.8% from a gross margin of 17.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase in gross margin was a direct consequence of an increase in the selling prices of our products, and a decrease in overhead unit rates as a result of increased production volume.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 46.2%, or $0.6 million, to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $1.2 million for the comparable period in 2009. General and administrative expenses include rent, management and staff salaries, insurance, marketing, accounting, legal, and R&D expenses.  Although we have strict standards to control our general and administrative expenses, we have increased our R&D expenditures in the last three months.  As a result, our general and administrative expenses grew significantly compared to the comparable period in 2009. R&D expenses increased $0.58 million or 407.53%, to $0.73 million in three months ended in September 2010, from $0.14 million in the comparable period in 2009.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased by 64.3%, or $25,282, to $64,604 compared to $39,322 for the comparable period in 2009. We have obtained additional short-term loans in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared with the comparable period in 2009, so our interest expense has increased.

Income Tax Expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded a tax provision of $312,191 compared to a tax provision of $89,800 for the comparable period in 2009.  Our effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were 19% and 23%, respectively.

Net Income

The increase in our net income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the comparable period of 2009 was the result of increased sales, and increased margins on those sales resulting in significant part from the application of lower overhead rates due to the increase in capacity utilization and a higher realized sales price.

Revenues

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased 69.9%, or $16.6 million, to $40.3 million compared to $23.7 million in the comparable period of 2009. The revenue from goods sold was $39.9 million at September 30, 2010 and $23.7 million at September 30, 2009, representing approximately 99% and 100%, respectively of total revenues.  For the first nine months of 2010, BOPP tobacco revenue increased 22.5%, or $2.2 million, to $11.9 million from $9.7 million in the comparable period of 2009. Coated film revenue increased 143.5%, or $9.4 million, to $15.9 million in the first nine months of 2010 from $6.5 million in the comparable period of 2009. Our anti-counterfeit revenue increased 82.3%, or $4.3 million, to $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $5.3 million in the comparable period of 2009. Our color printing segment sales increased 13%, or $0.3 million, to $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $2.3 million in the comparable period of 2009.

The increase in revenue was primarily caused by two factors: an increase in domestic product volume and an improvement realized sales prices. Approximately 80%, or $32 million, of our total sales in the first nine months of 2010 were made domestically to Chinese companies.  For the comparable period in 2009, approximately 68%, or $16.2 million, of our total sales were made domestically.  The Company provides coated film to its largest customer who manufactures snack cakes and its remaining top 3 customers are tobacco manufacturers who use our BOPP tobacco film products.

Internationally, we sell only three lines of products: anti-counterfeit film, coated film, and color printing.  International sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $8 million, which accounts for 20% of revenues and represented a $0.4 million increase, or 5%, from the $7.6 million in international sales for the comparable period in 2009.  This increase was primarily due to a 24.54% increase in coated film sales to $4.1 million from $3.3 million in the comparable period in 2009. Revenue from the anti-counterfeit film product line decreased 12% during the first nine months of 2010 to $3.7 million from $4.2 million for the comparable period of 2009. Color printing revenue accounted for $0.1 million in international sales from no revenue in the comparable period in 2009. All international sales are indirect using a network of distributors and converters. For the first nine months of 2010, no international customer represented 5% or more of our total sales.

Our five largest customers each accounted for 11%, 9%, 7%, 5% and 4%, respectively, of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 10%, 8%, 8%, 7% and 6%, respectively, of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold increased $12.1 million, or 58.6%, from $20.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $32.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Cost of goods sold represented 81.3% and 87.0% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The decrease in the cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenues primarily resulted from declines in the per unit costs in our packaging film segment.

 
22

 

For the first nine months of 2010, our coated film line experienced an 11% decrease in per unit costs as a result of decreases in raw material costs, decreases in variable costs, and higher volumes, which produced a 55% decrease in overhead rates on a unit cost basis. Our unit cost in the BOPP tobacco film line decreased by 14.6% in the first nine months of 2010 as a result of a stable raw material unit costs and lower variable costs, which were a result of the restructuring of our operations in the fourth quarter of 2009. Overhead rates decreased 24% due to an increase in factory utilization for 2010. The unit cost of production of anti-counterfeit film increased 12% for the first nine months of 2010. Raw material prices increased and increased volumes lowered overhead rates in the anti-counterfeit film line.

Unit costs in our color printing segment increased in the third quarter of 2010 as a direct result of increased overhead due to the decline in factory utilization rates and higher raw material costs.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $7.6 million, which represented a gross margin of 18.7% and an increase of 5.8% from a gross margin of 13.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase in gross margin was a consequence of an increase in the selling prices of our products, and a decrease in overhead unit rates as a result of increased production volume.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 16.4%, or $550,068, to $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $3.3 million for the comparable period in 2009.  General and administrative expenses include rent, management and staff salaries, insurance, marketing, accounting , R&D and legal expenses.

Although we have strict standards to control our general and administrative expenses, we have increased our R&D expenditures in the last three months so that the general and administrative expenses grew significantly compared to the comparable period in 2009.  R&D expenses increased $0.9 million or 330.3%, to $1.21 million in nine months ended in September 2010, from $0.3 million in the comparable period in 2009.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased by 26.9%, or $34,337, to $161,948 compared to $127,611 for the comparable period in 2009. The increase was not significant.

Income Tax Expense

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded a tax provision of $628,725 compared to $52,097 for the comparable period in 2009.  Our effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were 17% and (26)%, respectively. During 2009, one of our subsidiaries made a profit and had a tax expense of $153,840 or 15% of net income before taxes.  The other subsidiaries all had losses which resulted in an overall loss before taxes.  Another subsidiary had a tax benefit of $101,743.  As losses from one subsidiary cannot be used to offset gains from another subsidiary, we had an overall tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 even though as a company, we had an overall loss before income taxes.

Other Income

Other income increased by $238,679 or 193.6% to $361,948 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $123,269 for the comparable period for 2009.  The increase is related to the $73,345 quarterly payment we began receiving during 2010 from our former landlord for vacating the leased space at the landlord’s request.  We have received approximately $220,000 through the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  We expect to receive one more payment of $73,345 throughout 2010.

 
23

 

Net Income

The increase in our net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to 2009 was the result of increased sales, and increased margins on those sales resulting in significant part from the application of lower overhead rates due to the increase in capacity utilization and a higher realized sales price.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

At September 30, 2010, we had $3.0 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand. Our principal demands for liquidity are: increasing capacity, purchasing raw materials, sales distribution and the possible acquisition of new subsidiaries in our industry, as well as other general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2010, we had five short-term loans outstanding for a total of $4.8 million, with interest rates of 5.31% to 5.841%.  The loans have due dates on various dates between November 30, 2010 through September 20, 2011 and are collateralized by buildings and equipment.  As of September 30, 2010, we had working capital of $11.9 million, an increase of $0.5 million from December 31, 2009. We anticipate we will have adequate working capital to fund our operations and growth in the foreseeable future.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $2.1 million, which was comprised primarily of net income of $3.2 million, depreciation expense of $1.2 million, and an increase in accounts payable of $2.3 million, offset by increases in accounts receivable of $3.3 million, and advances to suppliers of $1.5 million.
 
We used $4.2 million from our investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 for the acquisition of property and equipment including construction in progress.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.5 million from the issuance of short-term loans.  The loans have due dates on various dates between July 14, 2010 through June 25, 2011 and are collateralized by buildings and equipment.

Assets

As of September 30, 2010, our accounts receivable increased by $3.3 million compared with the balance as of December 31, 2009. The increase in accounts receivable during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was due primarily to increased sales.  We intend to continue our efforts to maintain accounts receivable at reasonable levels in relation to our sales.  Advances to suppliers increased $1.5 million and inventory remained relatively stable with an increase of $76,703.

Liabilities

Our accounts payable increased by $2.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and unearned revenues (payments received before all the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied) increased by $84,449 over the comparable period.

We have entered into a formal agreement with a vendor whereby we agreed to purchase new equipment at the cost of approximately $13.2 million.  We already paid approximately $1.3 million toward the purchase of this equipment and have issued a letter of credit for the remaining amount.  The equipment is expected to be delivered and installed in the first quarter of 2011, and be operational in the second quarter of 2011.

On August 2, 2010, Hainan Shiner Industrial Co., Ltd. (“Hainan Shiner”), our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a credit facility with the Hainan Branch of the Bank of China.  The credit facility is comprised of seven-year 70 million RMB, or approximately $10.3 million, secured revolving credit facility.  Hainan Shiner may not make any draw downs under this facility after December 31, 2011.   To date, no takedowns from this credit facility have been made.  Hainan Shiner may only use the loan proceeds to improve the technology of its BOPP film and to purchase certain equipment necessary for these improvements.  Proceeds under the facility not used for these purposes may be subject to a misappropriation penalty interest rate of 100% of the current interest rate on the loan.

 
24

 
 
The initial interest rate on each withdrawal from the facility will be the above 5-year benchmark lending rate announced by the People’s Bank of China on the date of such withdrawal, and is subject to adjustment every 12 months based upon the this benchmark.  Additional interest will be paid on an overdue loan under this credit facility of 50% of the current interest rate on the loan. Hainan Shiner and certain of its affiliates, including the Company, have provided guarantees and certain land, buildings, and property as collateral under this facility.
 
The credit facility includes financial covenants that prohibit Hainan Shiner from making distributions to its sole shareholder if (a) its after-tax net income for the fiscal year is zero or negative, (b) its after-tax net income is insufficient to make up its accumulated loss for the last several fiscal years, (c) its income before tax is not utilized in paying off the capital, interest and expense of the lender, or (d) the income before tax is insufficient to pay the capital, interest and expense of the lender.

We intend to meet our liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures related to the purchase of equipment, purchase of raw materials, and the expansion of our business, through cash flow provided by operations, the forgoing credit facility, and funds raised through private placement offerings of our securities.

The majority of our revenues and expenses were denominated primarily in RMB, the currency of the PRC.

There is no assurance that exchange rates between the RMB and the USD will remain stable. We do not engage in currency hedging. Inflation has not had a material impact on our business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There were no off-balance sheet arrangements during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our interests.


In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-15 regarding accounting for own-share lending arrangements in contemplation of convertible debt issuance or other financing.  This ASU No. 2009-15 requires that at the date of issuance of the shares in a share-lending arrangement entered into in contemplation of a convertible debt offering or other financing, the shares issued shall be measured at fair value and be recognized as an issuance cost, with an offset to additional paid-in capital. Further, loaned shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs, at which time the loaned shares would be included in the basic and diluted earnings-per-share calculation.  This ASU No. 2009-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of those fiscal years. The adoption of this ASU No. 2009-15 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On December 15, 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic 820 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”.  This ASU requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in ASC Subtopic 820-10.  The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting.  The adoption of this ASU No. 2010-06 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On February 25, 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events, Topic 855, “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” which was immediately effective. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-09 remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of US GAAP.  The FASB believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the SEC’s literature. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-09 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On March 5, 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11, Derivatives and Hedging, Topic 815, “Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives.”  ASU No. 2010-11 clarifies the guidance within the derivative literature that exempts certain credit related features from analysis as potential embedded derivatives requiring separate accounting. ASU No. 2010-11 specifies that an embedded credit derivative feature related to the transfer of credit risk that is only in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another is not subject to bifurcation from a host contract under ASC Subtopic 815-15-25, Derivatives and Hedging — Embedded Derivatives — Recognition. All other embedded credit derivative features should be analyzed to determine whether their economic characteristics and risks are “clearly and closely related” to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and whether bifurcation is required. ASU No. 2010-11 is effective for the Company on July 1, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-11 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB codified the consensus reached in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 08-09, “Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition.”  ASU No. 2010-17 provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research and development transactions.  ASU No. 2010-17 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved after the adoption date. The Company does not expect that ASU No. 2010-17 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations when it adopts this update on January 1, 2011.
