LONGHAI STEEL INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Longhai Steel Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Action Industries, Inc.) (the Company) was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Georgia on December 4, 1995. On March 14, 2008, the Georgia corporation was merged with and into a newly formed Nevada corporation also named Action Industries, Inc. and all of the outstanding shares of the Georgia corporation were exchanged for shares in the surviving Nevada corporation.

On March 26, 2010, the Company completed a reverse acquisition transaction through a share exchange with Kalington Limited (hereafter referred to as “Kalington”), a Hong Kong entity established on November 5, 2009, and its shareholders, whereby the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Kalington in exchange for 10,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock which constituted 98.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock on an as-converted basis as of and immediately after the consummation of the reverse acquisition. On July 16, 2010, the Company effected a 1-for-125 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Upon the date of the Reverse Stock Split all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into 9,850,000 shares of common stock. Following the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split and conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into common stock, there were 10,000,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. As a result of the reverse acquisition, Kalington became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary and the former stockholders of Kalington became our controlling stockholders. The share exchange transaction with Kalington and the Shareholders was treated as a reverse acquisition for accounting and financial reporting purposes, with Kalington as the acquirer and the Company as the acquired party. After the reverse acquisition, the Company changed its name to Longhai Steel Inc.

As a result of the reverse acquisition transaction, the Company now owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Kalington.

By virtue of its ownership in Kalington, the Company also owns Kalington Consulting, which is a wholly foreign owned subsidiary of Kalington and effectively and substantially controls Longhai, a leading producer of steel wire products in northeastern China, through a series of captive agreements known as variable interest agreements (the “VIE Agreements”) with Kalington Consulting.

Immediately prior to the reverse acquisition, the common stock of Kalington was owned by the following persons in the indicated percentages: William Hugh Luckman (3.51%); Wealth Index Capital Group LLC (a US company) (7.3%); K International Consulting Ltd. (a BVI company) (2.08%); Merrill King International Investment Consulting Ltd. (a BVI company) (0.31%); Shanchun Huang (3.12%); Xiucheng Yang (1.53%); Jianxin Wang (0.92%); Xingfang Zhang (29.45%); and Merry Success Limited (a BVI company) (51.78%) . Our Chief Financial Officer and Director, Dr. Eberhard Kornotzki, directly controls the shares held by K International Consulting Ltd. and has a beneficial interest in Wealth Index Capital Group LLC, and Chaojun Wang, our Chief Executive Officer, serves as a director of Merry Success Limited, our principal stockholder after the reverse acquisition, along with Jinhai Guo, its sole shareholder.

Kalington was established on November 5, 2009 in Hong Kong to serve as an intermediate holding company. Chaojun Wang currently serves as the director of Kalington. Kalington Consulting was established in the PRC on March 18, 2010, and is 100% owned by Kalington. On March 5, 2010, the local government of the PRC issued a certificate of approval regarding the foreign ownership of Kalington Consulting. Chaojun Wang serves as the executive director of Kalington Consulting. Longhai, our operating VIE, was established in the PRC on August 26, 2008, as a result of the carve-out of the division of the Longhai Steel Group, for the purpose of engaging in the production of steel wire. Chaojun Wang serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Manager of Longhai and owns 80% of the capital stock in Longhai. Longhai’s additional shareholders are Wealth Index International (Beijing) Investment Co., Ltd. (15% owner), an entity in which Dr. Eberhard Kornotzki, our Chief Financial Officer, has a beneficial interest, and Wenyi Chen (5% owner). Chaojun Wang also owns 80% of the capital stock of and is the chief executive officer of the Longhai Steel Group.

On March 19, 2010, prior to the reverse acquisition transaction, Kalington Consulting and Longhai entered into a series of agreements, the VIE Agreements, pursuant to which Longhai became Kalington Consulting’s variable interest entity. The use of VIE agreements is a common structure used to acquire PRC corporations, particularly in certain industries in which foreign investment is restricted or forbidden by the PRC government. The VIE Agreements include:

  • A Consulting Services Agreement through which Kalington Consulting has the right to advise, consult, manage and operate Longhai and collect and own all of the net profits of Longhai;

  • an Operating Agreement through which Kalington Consulting has the right to recommend director candidates and appoint the senior executives of Longhai, approve any transactions that may materially affect the assets, liabilities, rights or operations of Longhai, and guarantee the contractual performance by Longhai of any agreements with third parties, in exchange for a pledge by Longhai of its accounts receivable and assets;

  • a Proxy Agreement under which the three owners of Longhai have vested their collective voting control over Longhai to Kalington Consulting and will only transfer their respective equity interests in Longhai to Kalington Consulting or its designee(s);

  • an Option Agreement under which the owners of Longhai have granted to Kalington Consulting the irrevocable right and option to acquire all of their equity interests in Longhai; and

  • an Equity Pledge Agreement under which the owners of Longhai have pledged all of their rights, titles and interests in Longhai to Kalington Consulting to guarantee Longhai’s performance of its obligations under the Consulting Services Agreement.

On March 18, 2010, prior to the reverse acquisition transaction, Mr. Wang entered into a call option agreement, the Merry Success Option Agreement, with Jinhai Guo, the sole shareholder of Merry Success Limited, pursuant to which Mr. Wang has the right to acquire up to 100% of the shares of Merry Success Limited for fixed consideration within the next three years. The Merry Success Option Agreement also provides that Mr. Guo shall not dispose any of the shares of Merry Success Limited without Mr. Wang’s consent. As a result of the Merry Success Option Agreement, Chaojun Wang, our Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns a majority of our capital stock and voting power, as well as of Longhai and the Longhai Steel Group. Because of the common control between Kalington, Kalington Consulting and Longhai, for accounting purposes, the acquisition of these entities has been treated as a recapitalization with no adjustment to the historical basis of their assets and liabilities based on FASB rules on business combinations and transactions among entities under common control. The restructuring has been accounted for using the “as if” pooling method of accounting and the operations were consolidated as if the restructuring had occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented in our consolidated financial statements and the current corporate structure had been in existence throughout the periods covered by our consolidated financials.

Prior to the reverse acquisition of Kalington, the Company was primarily in the business of providing prepaid long distance calling cards and other telecommunication products, was in the development stage, and had not commenced planned principal operations. As a result of our reverse acquisition of Kalington, the Company was no longer a shell company and active business operations were revived.

All of the Company’s business operations are now conducted through its Hong Kong and Chinese subsidiaries, Kalington and Kalington Consulting, respectively, and controlled affiliate, Longhai. The Company’s principal business is the production of steel wire ranging from 6.5mm to 10mm in diameter. The Company operates two wire production lines which have a combined annual capacity of approximately 900,000 metric tons per year. The Company’s products are sold to a number of distributors who transport the wire to nearby wire processing facilities. The Company’s wire is then further processed by third party wire refiners into a variety of products such as nails, screws, and wire mesh for use in reinforced concrete and fencing. The Company’s facilities and head office are located in the town of Xingtai in southern Hebei Province.

Kalington was established in Hong Kong on November 5, 2009 to serve as an intermediate holding company. Chaojun Wang currently serves as the director of Kalington. Kalington Consulting was established in the PRC on March 18, 2010.

Longhai PRC was originally formed on August 26, 2008 as a carve-out from the Longhai Steel Group of companies. Chaojun Wang serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Manager of Longhai PRC and owns 80% of the capital stock of Longhai PRC. Longhai’ PRC's additional shareholders are Wealth Index International (Beijing) Investment Co., Ltd. (15% owner) and Wenyi Chen (5% owner). Chaojun Wang also owns 80% of the capital stock of and is the chief executive officer of the Longhai Steel Group.

Longhai leases a five-story office space and the building which houses our production facilities from the Longhai Steel Group. Until 2008, Longhai purchased 100% of its steel billet directly from the Longhai Steel Group. Since 2009, Longhai has purchased steel billet from third party vendors. Steel Billet is the principal raw material used in our production of steel wire. Longhai also purchases production utilities from the Longhai Steel Group.

6


Since there is common control between the Company and Longhai PRC, for accounting purposes, the acquisition of Longhai PRC has been treated as a recapitalization with no adjustment to the historical basis of the assets and liabilities of the consolidated company. The restructuring has been accounted for using the “as if” pooling method of accounting and the operations were consolidated as if the restructuring had occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented in our consolidated financial statements and the current corporate structure had been in existence throughout the periods covered by our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The consolidated financial statements in this report should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2010 audited financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto included. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period numbers are reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Longhai Steel Inc. and its 100%-owned subsidiary Kalington and variable interest entity (“VIE”) Longhai as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated 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 dates of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those results.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.

Concentration of Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade and bills receivables. As of as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality. With respect to trade receivables, the Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade receivables. The Company operates principally in the PRC and grants credit to some of its customers in this geographic region. Although the PRC is economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the Company’s operations.

7


Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of two components, net income and other comprehensive income/(loss). Other comprehensive income refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are recorded as an element of stockholders’ equity but are excluded from net income. During the periods presented, other comprehensive income includes cumulative translation adjustment from foreign currency translation.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company's PRC subsidiaries is the RMB. Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in a local currency environment, where that local currency is the functional currency, are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date; with the resulting translation adjustments directly recorded to a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are recorded in other income (loss), net. The functional currency is the local currency for all non-U.S. subsidiaries.

The balance sheet amounts at March 31, 2011, with the exception of shareholders' equity, were translated at the exchange rate of 6.5701 RMB to the U.S. $1.00 compared to the exchange rate of 6.6118 RMB to the U.S. $1.00 at December 31, 2010. The equity accounts were stated at their historical exchange rates. The average translation rates applied to the income and cash flow statement amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were 6.5987 RMB and 6.83604 RMB to the U.S. $1.00, respectively.

Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in "accumulated other comprehensive income" in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity and were $2,455,200 and $2,166,544 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For Statement of Cash Flow purposes, the Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including accounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash with various banks and trust companies located in China. Cash accounts are not insured or otherwise protected. Should any bank or trust company holding cash deposits become insolvent, or if the Company is otherwise unable to withdraw funds, the Company would lose the cash on deposit with that particular bank or trust company.

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s 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. Accounts are written off against the allowance when it becomes evident collection will not occur. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the accounts receivable were $60 and $908,327, respectively.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis and includes all expenditures incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale and putting them in a saleable condition. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, the management makes judgments as to future demand requirements compared to current or committed inventory levels. Our reserve requirements generally increase as our projected demand requires; or decrease due to market conditions and product life cycle changes. The Company estimates the demand requirements based on market conditions, sales contracts and orders in hand.

In addition, the Company estimates net realizable value based on intended use, current market value and inventory ageing analyses. The Company writes down inventories for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventories and their estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Historically, the actual net realizable value has been close to management’s estimate. There was no allowance for inventory impairment as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

8


Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and betterments are charged to the property accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed in the current period.

Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets as set outlined below.

  Estimated Useful Life
Plant and building 20 years
Machinery and equipment 10 years
Office furniture and equipment 10 years
Transportation equipment 5 years

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, previously SFAS No. 144, the Company reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets, whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an asset is considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs of disposal. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company performed an annual impairment review of long-lived assets and concluded that there was no impairment loss for long-term investments.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes sales in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” and SAB No. 104, “Revenue Recognition.”

The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria are met:

(i) Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

(ii) Delivery has occurred or services were rendered;

(iii) The price to the customer is fixed or determinable and,

(iv) Collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue is not recognized until title and risk of loss is transferred to the customer, which occurs upon delivery of goods, and objective evidence exists that customer acceptance provisions were met.

The Company bases its estimates on historical experience taking into consideration the type of products sold, the type of customer, and the type of specific transaction in each arrangement. Revenues represent the invoiced value of goods, net of value added tax (“VAT”).

9


The Company does not offer promotional payments, customer coupons, rebates or other cash redemption offers to its customers. Deposits or advance payments from customers prior to delivery of goods and passage of title of goods are recorded as advances from customers.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 “Income Taxes”, previously SFAS No. 109. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the estimated tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts and each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized when, in management’s opinion, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes represents current taxes payable net of the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Earnings Per Share

The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock using the treasury method.

Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of the outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, at either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of issuance, whichever is later, and only if the common stock equivalents are considered dilutive based upon the Company’s net income (loss) position at the calculation dates. As of March 31, 2011, the stock options issued to the Company’s executive were anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company does not have any dilutive securities.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, previously FAS 157, adopted January 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current receivables and payables qualify as financial instruments. Management concluded the carrying values are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and if applicable, their stated interest rate approximates current rates available. The three levels are defined as follows:

· Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) 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, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

· Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

10


The assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of March 31, 2011 are as follows:

    Carrying value     Active markets     Significant other     Significant  
          for identical     observable inputs     Unobservable  
          assets           Inputs  
    March 31, 2011     (Level 1)   (Level 2)   (Level 3)
                         
Cash and cash equivalents $  591,259   $  591,259     -     -  

The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, notes payable. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of high rated money market funds at a variety of well-known institutions with original maturities of three months or less. Management estimates that the carrying amounts of the non related party financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On February 25, 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09 Subsequent Events Topic 855 “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” effective immediately. The amendments in the ASU 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 this ASU 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.” This ASU clarifies the guidance within the derivative literature that exempts certain credit related features from analysis as potential embedded derivatives requiring separate accounting. The ASU 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 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. The ASU is effective for the Company on July 1, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-17 (ASU 2010-17), Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition. The amendments in this Update are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year, the entity should apply the amendments retrospectively from the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company did not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-17 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

NOTE 10– SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

On March 25, 2010, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation establishing the Series A Preferred Stock and setting forth the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock. On or about March 25, 2010, the Company issued 10,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock automatically convert into shares of common stock on the basis of one share of Series A Preferred Stock for every 985 shares of common stock immediately subsequent to the effectiveness of the Company's 1-for-125 reverse split of its outstanding common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split").

The Reverse Stock Split was effective on July 16, 2010 and the 10,000 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into 9,850,000 shares of common stock, which constitutes 98.5% of the Company's outstanding common stock. For accounting purposes, we treated the Series A Preferred Stock as being converted fully to common stock on a post- reverse split basis for all periods presented.

Following the Reverse Stock Split and the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into common stock, the Company has 10,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Statutory Reserve

Our PRC subsidiary is required under PRC laws and regulations to allocate at least 10% of our annual after-tax profits determined in accordance with PRC GAAP to a statutory general reserve fund until the amounts in said fund reach 50% of our PRC subsidiary’s registered capital. Allocations to these statutory reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable to us in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends.

NOTE 11– STOCK OPTION PLAN

On April 1, 2010, the Company granted a newly appointed executive officer a 5-year option to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. According to the stock option agreement, the option has a per share exercise price equal to $6.00, the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. Half of the options are immediately exercisable and one-fourth will vest on each anniversary date of the grant over the next two years.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock options. The fair value of options was estimated on the date of grant. Valuation assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for options issued include (1) discount rate of 1.63% based upon United States Treasury yields in effect at the time of the grant, (2) expected term of 2.875 years based upon simplified calculations due to the limited period of time the Company’s equity shares have been publicly traded, (3) expected volatility of 88%, and (4) zero expected dividends. The calculated fair value of the grant at grant date was $664,328. No stock options were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Social insurance for employees

According to the prevailing laws and regulations of the PRC, the Company is required to cover its employees with medical, retirement and unemployment insurance programs. The Company fully complies with these laws and regulations and has ensured all employees are properly covered.

Tax issues

The tax authority of the PRC Government conducts periodic and ad hoc tax filing reviews on business enterprises operating in the PRC after those enterprises had completed their relevant tax filings, hence the Company’s tax filings may not be finalized. It is therefore uncertain as to whether the PRC tax authority may take different views about the Company’s tax filings which may lead to additional tax liabilities.

NOTE 13 - OPERATING RISKS

Country risk

Currently, the Company’s revenues are primarily derived from the sale of steel wire to customers in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The Company hopes to expand its operations to other countries, however, such expansion has not commenced and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve such expansion. Therefore, a downturn or stagnation in the economic environment of the PRC could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

Products risk

In addition to competing with other manufacturers of steel wires, the Company competes with larger PRC companies which have greater funds available for expansion, marketing, research and development and the ability to attract more qualified personnel. These PRC companies may be able to offer products at a lower price. There can be no assurance the Company will remain competitive should this occur.

Exchange risk

The Company cannot guarantee that the Renminbi - U.S. Dollar exchange rate will remain steady, therefore the Company could post the same profit for two comparable periods based on Renminbi and post higher or lower profit in U.S. Dollars depending on this exchange rate. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in the political and economic environments without notice.

Political risk

Currently, the PRC is in a period of growth and is openly promoting business development in order to bring more business into the PRC. Additionally, the PRC currently allows a Chinese corporation to be owned by a United States corporation. If the laws or regulations relating to ownership of a Chinese corporation are changed by the PRC government, the Company's ability to operate the PRC subsidiaries could be affected.

15


Interest risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from short-term variable rate borrowings from time to time. The Company’s future interest expense will fluctuate in line with any change in borrowing rates. The Company does not have any derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2011 and believes its exposure to interest rate risk is not material.

NOTE 14 - MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND MAJOR VENDORS

The Company generated 59.9 percent and 60.4 percent of its revenues from five customers during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively.

The Company incurred 78.5 percent of its total purchases from three vendors during the three months ended March 31, 2011, and 83.5 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Overview of our Business

Through our PRC operating variable interest entity, or VIE, Longhai, we are a manufacturer of steel wire products in eastern China. We produce steel wire ranging from 6.5 mm to 10 mm in diameter on two wire production lines which have a combined annual capacity of approximately 0.9 million metric tons (MMT) per year. Our products are sold to a number of distributors who transport the wire to nearby wire processing facilities. Our wire is then further processed by these third party wire refiners into a variety of products such as nails, screws, and wire mesh for use in reinforced concrete and fencing.

Demand for our steel wire is driven primarily by spending in the construction and infrastructure industries. We have benefited from strong fixed asset investment and construction growth as the PRC has rapidly grown increasingly urbanized and invested in modernizing its infrastructure.

We sell our products to a number of distribution companies that transport our wire to nearby wire processors. Our products are manufactured on an on-demand basis, and we usually collect payment in advance. Sales prices are set at the market price for wire on a daily basis. Our customers generally prepay for their orders, and the final price may be adjusted to the market price on the day of pick up. This allows us to maintain a low inventory of both wire and billet and protects us from exposure to commodity price volatility. In order to increase sales and be competitive in the market, we occasionally offer discounted wholesale prices to customers at our discretion. Our sales efforts are directed toward developing long-term relationships with customers who are able to purchase in large quantities. During the year ended December 31, 2010, our top five distributors accounted for approximately 35% of our revenues, and during the year ended December 31, 2009, our top five distributors accounted for approximately 39% of our revenues.

Our production facilities are located at a 107,000 square meter property in Xingtai, Hebei Province. Our production facilities include a steel rolling mill, the unique feature of which is that two rolling lines are arranged in a “Y”-layout, i.e. two wire drawing lines share one furnace, one coarse and intermediate rolling mill, and other supporting equipment. This particular design facilitates cost savings and higher output at higher quality.

All our business has been conducted in Renminbi, the official currency of China. The Renminbi is still not a free floating currency. The value of the Renminbi is subject to changes in the Chinese government’s policies and depends to a large extent on China’s domestic and international economic and political developments, as well as supply and demand in the local market. The Renminbi has slowly but steadily appreciated against the U.S. dollar since July 2005.

Our corporate headquarters is located at No. 1 Jingguang Road, Neiqiu County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province, 054000, People’s Republic of China, and our telephone number is (86) 319 686-1111.

Net Revenues Net revenues consist of revenue from the sale of steel wire and scrap metal. Roughly 99% of revenues are derived from wire. Our net revenues increased to $126.32 million in the period ended March 31, 2011 from $105.98 million in the same period in 2010, representing a 19.2% increase. This increase was due to a period over period increase in our revenue per ton of wire sold of 20.4%, due primarily to an increase in average wire prices. Our tons sold decreased from 218,168MT to 210,880MT, representing a period over period decrease of 3.3% .

Cost of Sales Our cost of sales increased $20.44 million, or 20.0%, to $122.37 million in the period ended March 31, 2011, from $101.93 million in the same period in 2010. The cost of sales as a percentage of revenues increased from 96.2% to 96.9% between the periods. Our cost of sales is largely dictated by movements in steel billet prices as billet typically represents more than 95% of our cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold per ton of wire sold increased 20.0% period over the period.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin Our gross profit decreased $0.1 million to $3.95 million in the period ended March 31, 2011 from $4.04 million in the same period in 2010. Gross margin declined from 3.8% for the period ended March 31, 2010 to 3.1% for the period ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the narrowing of the spread between billet purchase prices and wire sales prices discussed above, as billet prices increased more than wire prices.

General and Administrative Expenses Our general and administrative expenses increased $0.64 million to $0.79 million in the period ended March 31, 2011, from $0.15 million in the same period in 2010. The increase was due to expenses related to audit, legal, consulting and travel expenses associated with Longhai’s public offering.

Income Before Income Taxes Our income before income taxes decreased to $2.57 million in the period ended March 31, 2011 from $3.84 million in the same period in 2010. This decrease was due to a decrease in our gross profit and an increase in our general and administrative expenses as discussed above. In addition, we experienced higher interest expenses in association with increased use of bank acceptance bills.

Bank acceptance bills are common instruments used by companies in China to secure credit terms from their suppliers. These instruments feature a local bank guarantee of the payment risk, which is provided for a fee. In these arrangements, a company and a bank enter into a bank acceptance agreement pursuant to which the bank agrees to accept and pay when due the company's bills payable to the supplier. Cashing in such bank acceptance bills before they mature enables us to purchase more steel billet, our main production input, at a discount. The discounts are greater than the cost of cashing in said bank acceptance bills early.

Income Tax. Income tax decreased to $0.66 million in the period ended March 31, 2011 from $0.96 million in the same period in 2010 as we had lower taxable income at our Chinese operating entity.

19


Net Income. In the period ended March 31, 2011, we generated net income of $1.91 million, compared to $2.88 million in the same period in 2009. This decrease was primarily attributable to the factors discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $591,259, consisting primarily of cash on hand and demand deposits. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flows for the period ended March 31, 2011. To date, we have financed our operations organically and through cash flows from equity contributions by our shareholders.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Cash Flows

    Three Months Ended  
    March 31,  
    2011     2010  
             
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities $  15,423,115     (41,508,356 )
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities   (14,642,858 )   41,603,246  
             
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities   (488,208 )   0

Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of the year   293,445     116,540  
Cash and cash equivalents at end of the year   591,259     211,416  

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $15.42 million for the period ended March 31, 2011, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $41.50 million for the same period in 2010.

Our cash flows from operating activities changed significantly because we took measures to eliminate loans to related parties. We had previously passed prepayments from our wholesale customers straight to the Longhai Steel Group to provide liquidity to the Longhai Steel Group for iron ore purchases. In consideration of those prepayments, these wholesale customers would receive a discount on our steel wire, and Longhai Steel Group would reimburse us for these discounts by way of a reduced purchase price for steel billet. This was treated as a loan to a related party, and the reimbursement for the discounts granted to wholesale customers were recorded as financing income according to US GAAP. The passed-through prepayments were recorded as cash used in financing activities.

Management determined to eliminate this type of related party transactions and instead conduct business with the Longhai Steel Group on an arms-length basis as of the second quarter of 2010. This action required that the loan granted to Longhai Steel Group be repaid. This resulted in an increase of approximately $43 million in operating cash that was accompanied by a matching increase in cash from financing activities.

Wholesale customers prepay large amounts in order to get a discount on our steel wire. These prepayments cover up to 3 months’ of deliveries. We continue to deliver steel wire until the prepayments are exhausted, at which time the prepayments are replenished by the customer. Occasionally, delivery takes place before the top-up payments arrive, which may result in comparatively small accounts receivable that are usually cleared during the course of the following month. We collect cash on or before delivery from non-wholesale customers. This practice does not cause any cost risk as all purchases and sales are priced according to market price in effect on the day delivery is taken.

20


Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the period ended March 31, 2011 was $14.64 million, as compared to net cash provided in investing activities of $41.60 million during the same period of 2010. This decrease in cash used in investing activities was mainly due to no payment to related parties and advances to others.

Financing activities

Net cash used by financing activities for the period ended March 31, 2011 was $0.49 million, as compared to zero activities during the same period of 2010. The cash outflow in financing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 mainly consisted of payment to related party as discussed above.

Other than a lease contingent on the completion of a wire facility, we have no material commitments for capital expenditures.

We believe that our cash on hand and cash flows from operations will meet our present cash needs, but we may require additional cash resources to implement our expansion through the acquisition of additional facilities. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects. On July 20, 2010, we filed a registration statement with the SEC in order to be able to issue additional common stock at a proposed maximum aggregate offering price of 20 million U.S. Dollars for the purpose of expanding our business through acquisitions and to better meet our working capital needs.

Inflation

Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future. However, our management will closely monitor price changes in the steel industry and continually maintain effective cost control in operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements 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 or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.

Seasonality

Our operating results and operating cash flows have not historically been subject to seasonal variations, however, the first quarter is usually the slowest quarter because fewer projects are undertaken during and around the Chinese spring festival.

Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial conditions and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements:

Revenue Recognition

Retail sales are recognized at the point of sale to customers, are recorded net of estimated returns, and exclude VAT. Wholesales to contracted customers are recognized as revenue at the time the product is shipped and title passes to the customer FOB shipping point.

21


Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 dates of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those results

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists of unpaid balances due from wholesale customers. Such balances generally are cleared in the subsequent month when the wholesale customers place another order. We do not provide an allowance for doubtful accounts because we have not experienced any credit losses in collecting these amounts from whole-sale customers.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We account for impairment of property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets in accordance with ASC 360, “Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of”, which requires us to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability when there is event or circumstance that indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable (when carrying amount exceeds the gross, undiscounted cash flows from use and disposition) and is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over the asset’s (or asset group’s) fair value. There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the period ended March 31, 2011 or the period ended March 31, 2010.

Inventories

Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis and includes all expenditures incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale and putting them in a salable condition. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, the management makes judgments as to future demand requirements compared to current or committed inventory levels. Our reserve requirements generally increase as our projected demand requirements or decrease due to market conditions and product life cycle changes. We estimate the demand requirements based on market conditions, forecasts prepared by customers, sales contracts and orders in hand.

In addition, we estimate net realizable value based on intended use, current market value and inventory ageing analyses. We write down inventories for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventories and their estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.

Comprehensive Income

We have adopted the provisions of ASC 220 “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances in a full set of general purpose financial statements.

ASC 220 defines comprehensive income as comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders, including adjustments to minimum pension liabilities, accumulated foreign currency translation, and unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities. Our other comprehensive income arose from the effect of foreign currency translation adjustments.

Foreign Currency Translation/Transactions

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company's PRC subsidiaries is the RMB. Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in a local currency environment, where that local currency is the functional currency, are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date; with the resulting translation adjustments directly recorded to a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are recorded in other income (loss), net. The functional currency is the local currency for all non-U.S. subsidiaries.

The balance sheet amounts at March 31, 2011, with the exception of shareholders' equity, were translated at the exchange rate of 6.5501 RMB to the 1.00 U.S. dollar compared to the exchange rate of 6.8161 RMB to the 1.00 U.S. dollar at March 31, 2010. The equity accounts were stated at their historical exchange rates. The average translation rates applied to the income and cash flow statement amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was 6.5713 RMB and 6.8193 RMB to the 1.00 U.S. dollar, respectively.

22


Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in "accumulated other comprehensive income" in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity and were $288,656 and $4,977 as of March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On February 25, 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09 Subsequent Events Topic 855 “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” effective immediately. The amendments in the ASU 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 this ASU 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.” This ASU clarifies the guidance within the derivative literature that exempts certain credit related features from analysis as potential embedded derivatives requiring separate accounting. The ASU 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 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. The ASU is effective for the Company on July 1, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-17 (ASU 2010-17), Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition. The amendments in this update are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year, the entity should apply the amendments retrospectively from the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company did not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-17 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

All of our revenues are collected in and substantially all of our expenses are paid in Chinese RMB. We face foreign currency rate translation risks when our results are translated to U.S. dollars. The registered equity capital denominated in the functional currency is translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of capital contribution.

The Chinese RMB was relatively stable against the U.S. dollar at approximately 8.28 RMB to the $1.00 U.S. dollar until July 21, 2005 when the Chinese currency regime was altered resulting in a 2.1% revaluation versus the U.S. dollar. This move initially had the effect of pegging the exchange rate of the RMB at 8.11 RMB per U.S. dollar. Now the RMB exchange rate is no longer linked to the U.S. dollar but rather to a basket of currencies with a 0.3% margin of fluctuation resulting in further appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. Since June 30, 2009, the exchange rate had remained stable at 6.8307 RMB to 1.00 U.S. dollar until June 30, 2010 when the Chinese Central Bank allowed a further appreciation of the RMB by 0.43% to 6.798 RMB to 1.00 U.S. dollar. On May 10, 2011, the RMB traded at 6.4866 to the U.S. dollar.

There remains international pressure on the Chinese government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy and the exchange rate of RMB is subject to changes in China’s government policies which are, to a large extent, dependent on the economic and political development both internationally and locally and the demand and supply of RMB in the domestic market. There can be no assurance that such exchange rate will continue to remain stable in the future amongst the volatility of currencies, globalization and the unstable economies in recent years. Since (i) our income and profit are denominated in RMB, and (ii) the payment of dividends, if any, will be in U.S. dollars, any decrease in the value of the RMB against other foreign currencies would adversely affect the value of the shares and dividends payable to shareholders, in foreign currency terms.

Commodity Prices

We are generally exposed to commodity price swings. Although there is no guaranteed correlation, steel wire prices generally fluctuate with steel prices, but the differential between market prices of steel billet and steel wire also fluctuates. Although we generally hold inventory for the duration of our 24-hour production cycle, sudden changes in the market price of steel and wire may directly impact the valuation of inventory and goods in progress, which influences earnings. So long as the market price differential between billets and wire does not shrink disproportionally, rising steel prices generally work in our favor as inventory purchased at lower prices would appreciate in such a scenario, resulting in additional profits when the wire is sold.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15(e), our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Chaojun Wang, and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Eberhard Kornotzki, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of March 31, 2011. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, Messrs. Wang and Kornotzki, determined that, because of the material weaknesses described in Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which we are still in the process of remediating as of March 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Investors are directed to Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for the description of these weaknesses.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

During its evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, our management concluded that we still need to hire qualified accounting personnel and enhance the supervision, monitoring and review of the financial statements preparation processes. Although our accounting staff is professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generally accepted in the PRC, management has determined that they require additional training and assistance in U.S. GAAP. We are actively searching for additional personnel with relevant accounting experience, skills and knowledge in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting disclosure requirements under SEC rules. In addition, we plan to establish an audit committee and appoint qualified committee members to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting.

Other than the foregoing changes, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these, or other matters, may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
