The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

CHINA RUITAI INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1.
ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

China Ruitai International Holdings Co., Ltd. (“China Ruitai” or the “Company”) was initially organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 15, 1955 as Inland Mineral Resources Corp. The Company subsequently changed its name to Parker-Levitt Corporation, and in 1997 changed its name to Commercial Property Corporation.  In 2006, the Company changed its name to Shandong Ruitai Chemical Co., Ltd. On March 12, 2007, the Company changed its name to China Ruitai International Holdings Co., Ltd. Since February 26, 2007, the Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.
 
On August 29, 2007, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Pacific Capital Group Co., Ltd., (“Pacific Capital Group”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Vanuatu, and the Shareholders of Pacific Capital Group (the “Shareholders”). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Shareholders agreed to transfer all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock in Pacific Capital Group to the Company in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 22,645,348 shares of the Company’s common stock, thereby causing Pacific Capital Group to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and TaiAn RuiTai Cellulose Co., Ltd. (“TaiAn Ruitai”), Pacific Capital Group’s majority-owned operating subsidiary, a Chinese limited liability company, to become a majority owned subsidiary of the Company. The parties closed the share exchange contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement on November 8, 2007.
 
Pacific Capital Group was incorporated on November 23, 2006 under the laws of the Republic of Vanuatu as a holding company, for the purposes of seeking and consummating a merger or acquisition with a business entity. On April 26, 2007, following the approval by the relevant governmental authorities in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), Pacific Capital Group acquired a 99% ownership interest in TaiAn Ruitai, which was formed in the PRC on November 10, 1999 with registered capital of $2,391,840. As a result of the transaction, TaiAn Ruitai became a 99% majority-owned subsidiary of Pacific Capital Group.
 
TaiAn Ruitai is the only one of these affiliated companies that is engaged in business operations. China RuiTai and Pacific Capital Group are holding companies, whose business is to hold an equity ownership interest in TaiAn Ruitai. TaiAn Ruitai is engaged in the production, sales, and exportation of deeply processed chemicals, with a primary focus on non-ionic cellulose ether products. TaiAn Ruitai’s assets exist solely in the PRC, and its revenues are derived from its operations therein.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
 
In addition, the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had significant negative working capital, which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining necessary financing or achieving a consistently profitable level of operations. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
 
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

CHINA RUITAI INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
 
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2011, and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X applicable to smaller reporting companies. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been made, and all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature (or a description of the nature and amount of any adjustments other than normal recurring adjustments). The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010 that are included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Principle of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include China Ruitai, Pacific Capital Group and TaiAn RuiTai. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Non-controlling interest represents the ownership interests in the subsidiary that are held by owners other than the parent. In December 2007, the Financial Account Standards Board (“FASB”) issued “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51”, ASC Topic 810-10. ASC 810-10 requires that the non-controlling interest is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the parent’s equity and that net income or loss and comprehensive income or loss are attributed to the parent and the non-controlling interest.  If losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary exceed their interests in the subsidiary’s equity, the excess, and any further losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest, is attributed to those interests.

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 amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Management evaluates the estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to accounts receivable and useful lives of property and equipment, fair values of warrant to purchase our common stock, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent amounts earned and are collectible from customers.  Accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect.  The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make the required payments and uses the specific identification method to record such allowances.  Management of the Company considers the following factors when determining the collectability of accounts receivable:  a customer’s credit-worthiness, past collection history, and changes in a customer’s payment terms. Allowance for doubtful accounts is made based on any specifically identified accounts receivable that may become uncollectible.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Actual cost is used to value raw materials and supplies. Finished goods and work-in-progress are valued using the weighted-average-cost method. Elements of costs in finished good and work-in-progress include raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. Provision for diminution in value on inventories is made using specific identification method.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete. This generally occurs when products are shipped to unaffiliated customers or picked up by unaffiliated customers in the Company’s warehouse, title and risk of loss have been transferred, collectability is reasonably assured and pricing is fixed or determinable. The corresponding freight-out and handling costs are included in the selling expenses.

The Company does not provide an unconditional right of return, price protection or any other concessions to its customers.  Sales returns and other allowances have been immaterial in our operation.

Commercial leasing income is recognized ratably over the period of the commercial leasing asset rent contract. The commercial leasing asset is Taishan Building, which is located in Beijing and is entirely rented to Beijing Shengmei Hotel Management Company.

Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment - Overall, long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and purchased intangible asset subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

16.
INCOME TAXES

The tax payables balance of $4,662,831 and $4,336,457 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 represents the income tax accrual of TaiAn Ruitai. TaiAn Ruitai is subject to PRC income tax at a rate of 25%.

Income tax expenses were $297,976 and $646,302 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which represents PRC current income taxes.

The Company has not recorded tax provision for U.S. and Vanuatu tax purposes as they have no assessable profits arising in or derived from the United States or Vanuatu and intends to permanently reinvest accumulated earnings in the PRC operations.
 
The Company has a deferred tax asset on net operating losses of approximately $184,280 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those net operating losses are available. The Company considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making its assessment. At present, the Company does not have sufficient operations in the United States to conclude that it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be able to realize all of its tax benefits in the near future and therefore a valuation allowance of $184,280 was established for the full value of the deferred tax asset.
 
A valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal of any portion or all of the valuation allowance. Should the Company start operations in the United States in future periods with a supportable trend, the valuation allowance will be reversed accordingly.
 
17.
STATUTORY RESERVES
 
Under PRC law, TaiAn Ruitai is required to provide for certain statutory reserves, namely a general reserve, an enterprise expansion fund and a staff welfare and bonus fund. The entity is required to allocate at least 10% of its after tax profits on an individual company basis as determined under PRC GAAP to the general reserve and have the right to discontinue allocations to the general reserve if such reserve has reached 50% of registered capital. Appropriations to the enterprise expansion fund and staff welfare and bonus fund are at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the entity. These reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable to the Company in the form of loans, advances, or cash dividends.

Both of the balances of statutory reserves as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $1,369,652, and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not make appropriation in its statutory reserves since such reserve had reached 50% of registered capital. 

18.
CONCENTRATIONS AND CREDIT RISKS

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had a credit risk exposure of cash in banks of $15,764,161 and $25,286,619, respectively, that is uninsured by the government authority. To limit exposure to credit risk relating to deposits, the Company primarily places cash deposits only with large financial institutions in the PRC with acceptable credit ratings.

The Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC as well as by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The business may be influenced by, among other things, changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.

Major Customers

During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s  largest customer accounted for 18% and 10%, respectively, of the Company’s net revenue. The outstanding account receivable balance for this customer was $102,627 and $191,287 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Governmental control of currency conversion
 
The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC. The Company receives most of its revenues in Renminbi, which is currently not a freely convertible currency. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the Company’s ability to remit sufficient foreign currency to satisfy foreign currency dominated obligations.  Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from the transaction, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate governmental authorities is required where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses, such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies.
 
The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents the Company from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy its currency demands, the Company may not be able to pay certain of its expenses as they come due.
 
Guaranteed Bank Loans
 
The Company has guaranteed certain loans for third-party enterprises, which, in turn, have guaranteed loans for the Company. These guarantees require payment from the Company in the event of default on payment by the respective debtor and, if the debtor defaults, the Company may be required to pay amounts outstanding under the related agreements in addition to the principal amount guaranteed, including accrued interest and related fees.
 
The Company and these third-party enterprises have been guaranteeing loans for each other in their day-to-day operations.  Both of these enterprises and the Company are considered good reputation debtors by local banks. The banks allow these companies to guarantee loans for each other instead of requiring the loans be secured by collateral.  None of the enterprises for which the Company has guaranteed loans has defaulted on any loan repayments, and accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liabilities or losses on such guarantees.
 
Bank loans that the Company has guaranteed for third-party enterprises consist of the following as of March 31, 2011:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and related Notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Results of Operations for the Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to the Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2010

Revenue

Revenue.  During the three month period ended March 31, 2011, we had revenues of $ 9,586,817 as compared to revenues of $10,238,256 during the three month period ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of approximately 6.4%. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to: (i) as a result of the increase in the costs of raw material and labor, management made a decision to increase the unit product’s price. As major products, “HPMC” & “EC” constitute about 90% of the total sales. These two products’ average unit price increased about RMB16K per ton and RMB7K per ton, respectively; and (ii) for the 2010 year, management reduced prices to sell some storage products. However, this year, as a result of the increase in the costs of raw material and labor, revenue was decreased.

Cost of Sales.  During the three month period ended March 31, 2011, our cost of sales was $6,784,133 as compared to costs of sales of $6,929,872 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of approximately 2.1%. This decrease in cost of sales resulted primarily from a decrease in sales.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses are divided into selling expenses and general and administrative expenses, both of which are discussed below:

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses, which consist of sales commissions, freight charges, travel and other selling expenses, totaled $528,529 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $359,075 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, an increase of approximately 47.2%. This increase results primarily from: 1) the increase of sales commissions of about $80,692, which is the bonus to a salesperson for the year 2010 and is typically awarded in the first quarter of 2011; 2) the increase of freight out expense of $91,155, which resulted from the increase in fuel prices, and we covered the freight charges as a promotion to our new pharmaceutical customers.
 
General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses totaled $721,495 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $284,252 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, an increase of approximately 153.8%. There were three primary drivers behind this increase. First, payroll increase due to the bonus awarded to employees in the first quarter of 2011. Second, in 2010, we had collected some of the accounts receivable which we previously perceived as bad debt, but no similar events happened in the first quarter of 2011, leading to a $415,001 increase in bad debt expense in the first quarter of 2011 compared with the first quarter of 2010.

 
18

 

Income from Operations

For the three month period ended March 31, 2011, our income from operations was $1,552,660 as compared to income from operations of $2,665,057 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of approximately 41.7%. This decrease was primarily attributable to a dramatic increase in selling, marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses, combined with a decrease in sales.

Commercial Leasing Income and Cost
 
For the three month period ended March 31, 2011, our commercial leasing income was $368,783 as compared to $303,183 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, an increase of approximately 21.6%. The increase was due to the appreciation of RMB. Rental income was from a newly acquired commercial property in Beijing. On December 31, 2009, we entered into a Set-Off Agreement with our related party, Shandong Ruitai Chemicals Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Ruitai”).  TaiAn, our subsidiary, agreed to permit Shandong Ruitai to satisfy a total of $31,745,649 in debt owed by Shandong Ruitai in exchange for Shandong Ruitai’s transfer of 100% of its ownership interest in real property located in Beijing, China, commonly known as Taishan Building, or Building No. 36, Xibahe Dongli, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China (the “Taishan Building”).

Interest Income

For the three month period ended March 31, 2011, our interest income was $87,441 as compared to $391,180 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of approximately $303,739, or 77.7%. This decrease resulted primarily from the decrease of our average cash and restricted cash deposit in the bank.

Interest Expense

For the three month period ended March 31, 2011, we incurred interest expense in the amount of $739,953 as compared to $578,487 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, an increase of approximately 27.9%. The increase in interest expense resulted primarily from the increase of the weighted-average interest rate for the bank loan from 5.62% at March 31, 2010 to 5.97% at March 31, 2011, as well as the increase of the interest paid for discounted notes receivable.

Income Tax Expense

Our income tax expense was $297,976 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $646,302 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $348,326, or approximately 53.9%.  This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in profits before income taxes decreased from $2,605,221 in the three month period ended March 31, 2010 to $1,041,303 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of approximately 60%.

Net Income attributable to China RuiTai

We had net income attributable to China RuiTai of $735,893 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $1,939,530 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $1,203,637, or approximately 62.1%.  This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in sales revenue and an increase in selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses net of a decrease in income tax expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company anticipates obtaining additional financing to meet the working capital requirements for its on-going projects and to sustain the business operations for the next twelve months. The Company is exposed to certain risks for significant negative working capital as indicated on the balance sheet, which increases the concern for management’s ability to fulfill the Company’s working capital requirements as well as the ability to continue as a going concern.  The risk is mainly the result of a high level of short-term bank borrowings pursuant to which China RuiTai has a proven record of excellent credit history with the local bank for the past ten years. We do not believe additional debt financing from the bank to fulfill the working capital requirements will be an issue due to the track record of the Company’s credit history and the solid relationship with the local bank. In the event of a default under the bank borrowings, the Company has a $37,092,812 commercial leasing asset, “Taishan Building”, located at Building No. 36, Xibahe Dongli, Chaoyang District, Beijing, which can be sold in the open market. As a result, management’s view of our going concern risk is low.

Total Current Assets & Total Assets

As of March 31, 2011: (i) our total current assets were $55,751,007 as compared to total current assets of $54,837,199 at December 31, 2010, an increase of $913,808, or approximately 1.7%; and (ii) our total assets were $111,928,649 as of March 31, 2011 compared to $110,977,589 as of December 31, 2010, an increase of $951,060, or approximately 0.9%  Our total assets increased due to changes that we experienced in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and advance to suppliers, and all of which are discussed below.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents. As of March 31, 2011, our cash and cash equivalents were $15,764,161 as compared to $25,286,619 at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $9,522,458, or approximately 37.7%.  This decrease was primarily attributable to payment to the related party for outstanding debt, additional spending on working capital and an additional $5,057,397 cash required to be deposited as restricted in the bank to serve as collateral for increased notes payable.

Restricted Cash. As of March 31, 2011, our restricted cash was $15,311,791 as compared to $10,254,394 at December 31, 2010, an increase of $5,057,397, or approximately 49.32%.  The Company is required to make  restricted security deposits between 50% and 100% of the face amount of the notes with the banks until the notes are settled. This increase was primarily attributable to an overall increase in notes payable.

Accounts Receivable. As of March 31, 2011, our accounts receivable were $7,835,553 as compared to $4,896,665 at December 31, 2010, an increase of $2,938,888, or approximately 60.02%.  This increase was primarily attributable to a better credit policy for our newly targeted pharmaceutical customers.
 
Advance to suppliers. As of March 31, 2011, we have an advance to suppliers of $2,367,966 as compared to $1,171,477 at December 31, 2010, an increase of $1,196,489, or 102.14%.  This increase was primarily attributable to our prepayments to our suppliers to secure favorable raw material prices.
 
Inventories. As of March 31, 2011, we had inventories of $10,758,530 as compared to $9,468,211 as of December 31, 2010, an increase of $1,290,319, or approximately 13.6%. The increase in inventories from 2011 to 2010 was the result of the anticipation of an increase in demand for the second quarter sales.

Total Current Liabilities

As of March 31, 2011, our total current liabilities were $81,088,736 as compared to $81,072,866 at December 31, 2010, an increase of $15,870, or approximately 0.02%.  This increase was primarily attributable to changes in accounts payable, notes payable, and due to related parties as discussed below.

Accounts Payable. As of March 31, 2011, our accounts payable was $6,742,824 as compared to $7,691,017 as of December 31, 2010, a decrease of $948,193, or approximately 12.33%. The decrease in our accounts payable was attributable to different ways of purchasing the raw material.

Notes Payable. As of March 31, 2011, our notes payable were $11,567,556 as compared to $15,124,474 as of December 31, 2010, a decrease of $3,556,918, or approximately 23.52%. This decrease was attributable to the changes in the suppliers’ preference of payment method.

 
20

 

Due to related parties. As of March 31, 2011, due to related parties were $1,288,680 as compared to $2,526,474 as of December 31, 2010, a decrease of $1,237,794, or approximately 48.99%. The decreases in due to related parties were attributable to continued repayment of the money owed to the related parties to lower interest expense.

Operating Activities

Net cash of $12,698,220 was used by operating activities during the three month period ended March 31, 2011 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $730,568 during the three month period ended March 31, 2010, representing a decrease of $13,428,788. The decrease in net cash provided by our operating activities was primarily attributable to the following five reasons: (i) a $4,977,691 increase in restricted cash for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 and a $ 879,900 decrease in restricted cash for three month period ended March 31, 2010, a net change of $5,857,591.  The increase in restricted cash is in proportion to the increase in notes payable; (ii) there was a $1,226,621 increase in inventories for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 and a $575,753 decrease in inventories for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, a net change of $1,802,374. The increase of inventories is a result of an increase in the price of raw materials; (iii) there was a $1,212,063 increase in advance to suppliers for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 and a $201,892 decrease in advance to suppliers for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, a net change of $1,413,955; (iv) there was a $994,087 decrease in accounts payable for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 and a $770,749 increase in accounts payable for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, a net change of  $1,764,836, and was due to our prompt payment to our supplier to secure favorable raw material prices in 2011; and (v) there was a $3,642,213 decrease in the notes payables for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 and a $1,613,150 decrease in  notes payables for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, a net change of $2,029,063, which reflects the Company’s flexibility in choosing the payment method to our suppliers which will be most favorable to the Company.

Investing Activities

During the three month period ended March 31, 2011, the net cash used in investing activities was $386,971 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $609,265 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $222,294. This decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in the purchase of fixed assets.

Financing Activities

During the three month period ended March 31, 2011, the net cash provided by financing activities was $3,430,725 as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $2,372,572 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $5,803,297. This change in financing activities was primarily attributable to the increase in loans from a related party.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2011, the Company has unconditionally guaranteed certain loans and notes for third-party enterprises in the aggregate amount of approximately $42,770,642.  These third-party enterprises, in turn, have guaranteed loans for the Company in the aggregate amount of approximately $23,439,521 as of March 31, 2011. The unconditional guarantees made by the Company require payment from the Company in the event of default on payment by the respective debtor and, if the debtor defaults, the Company may be required to pay amounts outstanding under the related agreements in addition to the principal amount guaranteed, including accrued interest and related fees.
