Corporate History

We were originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington, on November 13, 1947, under the name Silver Mountain Mining Company. From our inception until 2001, we operated various unpatented mining claims and deeded mineral rights in the State of Washington, but we abandoned these operations entirely by 2001. On August 15, 2006, we changed our domicile from Washington to Nevada when we merged with and into Point Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation. From about 2001 until our reverse acquisition of Powersmart on April 25, 2007, which is discussed in the next section entitled "Acquisition of Powersmart and Related Financing", we were a blank check company and had no active business operations. On June 11, 2007, we changed our corporate name from "Point Acquisition Corporation" to "China Minerals Technologies, Inc." and subsequently changed our name again to "China GengSheng Minerals, Inc." on July 26, 2007.

Acquisition of Powersmart and Related Financing

On April 25, 2007, we completed a reverse acquisition transaction through a share exchange with Powersmart Holdings Limited whereby we issued to the sole shareholder of Powersmart Holdings Limited, Shunqing Zhang, 16,887,815 shares of China GengSheng Minerals, Inc. common stock, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Powersmart Holdings Limited. By this transaction, Powersmart Holdings Limited became our wholly owned subsidiary and Mr. Zhang became our controlling stockholder.

On April 25, 2007, we also completed a private placement financing transaction pursuant to which we issued and sold 5,347,594 shares of our common stock to certain accredited investors for $10 million in gross proceeds. In connection with this private placement, we paid a fee of $683,618 to Brean Murray Carret & Co., LL, or Brean Murray, and Civilian Capital, Inc. for services as placement agents for the private placement. We also issued to Brean Murray Carret & Co., LLC and Civilian Capital, Inc. warrants for the purchase of 374,331 shares of our common stock in the aggregate. The warrants are immediately exercisable, have piggyback registration rights and have a three-year term, expiring on April 26, 2010. On March 10, 2010, Brean Murray Carret & Co., LLC exercised the warrant cashlessly, which was converted to 108,349 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, and on April 21, 2010, Civilian Capital, Inc. exercised the warrant cashlessly, which was converted to 27,869 shares of the Corporation’s common stock.

Also, on April 25, 2007, our majority stockholder, Shunqing Zhang, entered into an escrow agreement with the private placement investors, pursuant to which, Mr. Zhang agreed to deposit in an escrow account a total of 2,673,796 shares of the Company's common stock owned by him, to be held for the benefit of the investors. Mr. Zhang agreed that if the Company did not attain a minimum after-tax net income threshold of $8,200,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and $13,500,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the escrow agent may deliver his escrowed shares to the investors, based upon a pre-defined formula agreed to between the investors and Mr. Zhang. However, if the after-tax net income threshold is met, the shares in escrow will be returned to Mr. Zhang. In addition, on April 25, 2007, Mr. Zhang entered into a similar escrow agreement with HFG International, Limited. Under such agreement, Mr. Zhang placed into escrow a total of 638,338 shares of the Company's common stock to cover the same minimum net income thresholds as described above with respect to the investor make-good. Similarly, if the thresholds were not achieved in either year, the escrow agent must release certain amounts of the make-good shares that were put into escrow. We met the after-tax net income threshold of $8,200,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and the pro rata shares in escrow were returned to Mr. Zhang, while we did not meet the after-tax net income threshold of $13,500,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, and the pro rata shares in escrow were transferred to the investors on March 8, 2010.

On January 4, 2011, the Company and certain institutional investors entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company sold to such investors an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $4.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $10,000,000. Each purchaser received warrants, exercisable for $4.00 per share for the six-month period beginning July 10, 2011 and ending January 11, 2012, to purchase 40% of the shares of common stock purchased by the purchaser in the offering. The net proceeds from the offering was approximately $9,350,000. The Company paid an aggregate fee equal to 5.5% of the gross proceeds received to Rodman & Renshaw, LLC for services as placement agent. The shares of common stock, warrants to purchase common stock and shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the investor warrants were issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated as of January 10, 2011, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with a takedown from the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-165486), which became effective on April 28, 2010, and the base prospectus dated as of April 28, 2010 contained in such registration statement.

Refractories

Our largest product segment is the refractories segment, which accounted for approximately 59.2% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2012. Our refractory products have high-temperature resistant qualities and can function under thermal stress that is common in many heavy industrial production environments. Because of their unique high-temperature resistant qualities, the refractory products are used as linings and key components in many industrial furnaces, such as steel production furnaces, ladles, vessels, and other high-temperature processing machines that must operate at high temperatures for a long period of time without interruption. The majority of our customers are in the iron, steel, cement, chemical, coal, glass, petro-chemical and nonferrous industries.

We provide a customized solution for each order of our monolithic refractory materials based on customer-specific formulas. Upon delivery to customers, the monolithic materials are applied to the inner surfaces of our customers’ furnaces, ladles or other vessels to improve the productivity of that equipment. The product benefits our customers as it lowers the overall cost of production and improves financial performance. The reasons that the monolithic materials can help our customers improve productivity, lower production costs and achieve stronger financial performance include the following: (i) monolithic refractory castables can be cast into complex shapes which are unavailable or difficult to achieve by alternative products such as shaped bricks; (ii) monolithic refractory linings can be repaired, and in some cases, even reinstalled, without furnace cool-down periods or steel-production interruptions, and therefore improve the steel makers’ productivity; (iii) monolithic refractories can form an integral surface without joints, enhancing resistance to penetration, impact and erosion, and thereby improving the equipment’s operational safety and extending their useful service lives; (iv) monolithic refractories can be installed by specialty equipment either automatically or manually, thus saving construction and maintenance time as well as costs; and (v) monolithic refractories can be customized to specific requirements by adjusting individual formulas without the need to change batches of shaped bricks, which is a costly procedure. Our refractory products and their features are described as follows:

  • Castable, coating, and dry mix materials. Offerings within this product line are used as linings in containers such as a tundish used for pouring molten metal into a mold. The primary advantages of these products are speed and ease of installation for heat treatment.
  • Low-cement and non-cement castables. Our low-cement and non-cement castable products are typically used in reheating furnaces for producing steel. These castable products are highly durable and can last up to five years.
  • Pre-cast roofs. These products are usually used as a component of electric arc furnaces. They are highly durable, and in the case of our corundum-based, pre-cast roof, products can endure approximately 160 to 220 complete operations of furnace heating.

We also have a production line for pressed bricks, which is a type of “shaped” refractory, for steel production. The annual designed production capacity of our shaped refractory products is approximately 15,000 metric tons.

Finally, we provide a full-service option to our steel customers, which include refractory product installation, testing, maintenance, repair and replacement. Refractory product sales are often enhanced by our on-site installation and technical support personnel. Our installation services include applying refractory materials to the walls of steel-making furnaces and other high temperature vessels to maintain and extend their lives. Our technical service staff assure that our customers can achieve their desired productivity objectives. They also measure the refractory wear at our customer sites to improve the quality of maintenance and overall performance of our customers’ equipment. Full-service customers contributed approximately 35.8% of the Company’s total sales in the first six months of 2012, compared with 32.4% in the same period of 2011. We believe that these services, together with our refractory products, provide us a strategic advantage.

Industrial Ceramics

Industrial Ceramics accounted for approximately 2.7% of the total revenue in the second quarter of 2012. Our industrial ceramic products, including abrasive balls and tiles, valves, electronic ceramics and structural ceramics, are components for a variety of end products such as fuses, vacuum interrupters, electrical components, mud slurry pumps, and high-pressure pumps. Such end use products are used in the electric power, electronic component, industrial pump, and metallurgy industries.

Fracture Proppants

Fracture Proppants accounted for approximately 21.5% of the total revenue in the second quarter of 2012. Our fracture proppant products are very fine ball-like pellets, used to reach pockets of oil and natural gas deposits that are trapped in the fractures under the ground. Oil drillers inject the pellets into those fractures, squeezing out the trapped oil or natural gas, which leads to higher yield. Our fracture proppant products are available in several different particle sizes (measured in millimeters). They are typically used to extract crude oil and natural gas, which increases the productivity of crude oil and natural gas wells. These products are highly resistant to pressure. In October 2007, our fracture proppant products were recognized by China National Petroleum Corporation (the “CNPC”), China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (the “Sinopec”) and China National Offshore Oil Corporation (the “CNOOC”) as their supplier of fracture proppant products for their oil and gas-drilling operation.

Fine Precision Abrasives

Fine Precision Abrasives accounted for approximately 16.6% of our total revenue in the second quarter of 2012. Fine precision abrasives are used for producing a super-fine, super-consistent finish on certain products. A high-strength polyester backing provides a uniform base for a coating of micron-graded mineral particles that are uniformly dispersed for greater finishing efficiency. Our fine precision abrasives are made from silicon carbide (“SiC”). They are ultra-fine, high-strength pellets with uniform shape, and they are used for surface-polishing and slicing of precision instruments such as solar panels. Currently, the type of abrasives that we produce is in high demand among solar-energy companies. Solar energy companies use fine precision abrasives to cut silicon bars and to polish equipment surfaces so that they can be smooth and reflective. Our products can be utilized in a broad range of areas including machinery manufacturing, electronics, optical glass, architecture, industry development, semiconductor, silicon chip, plastic and lens.

Second Quarter of 2012 Summary

Our financial performance in the second quarter of 2012 is summarized as follows:

  • Sales revenue decreased by approximately $816,000, or 4.0%, to approximately $19.6 million for the second quarter of 2012, from approximately $20.4 million for the same period in 2011.

  • Gross profit decreased by approximately $2.2 million, or 42.7%, to approximately $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2012, from approximately $5.3 million for the same period in 2011. Gross profit margin was 15.6% for the second quarter of 2012, compared with 26.1% for the same period in 2011. The decrease in gross profit margin was largely attributed to the lower gross profit margin in our fine precision abrasives segment as sales of lower-grade products continued in the second quarter, the lower gross profit margin in fracture proppants segment as well as the rising costs of raw materials and energy in refractories segment. Net loss increased by approximately $3.5 million, to approximately $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2012, from a net loss of approximately $247,000 for the same period in 2011.

  • Our condensed consolidated balance sheet (unaudited) as of June 30, 2012 included current assets of approximately $136.9 million and total assets of approximately $178.9 million, with working capital of approximately $5.3 million.

Uncertainties that Affect our Financial Condition

Continued Industry Consolidation of Steel Makers Further Squeezed Our Profit in Refractories Segment

Although the crude steel output in China reached a new record of approximate 696 million metric tons in 2011, the steel industry still faces overcapacity and weak demand from both domestic and international market. In addition, the PRC government’s continued policy to squeeze out small to mid-sized steel makers reduced the overall demand for refractories. As refractories is our largest product segment and many of our customers are in the steel industry, the continued industry consolidation of steel makers have a deep impact on us and further squeezed our profit in the refractories segment.

8


Considerable Increase of Raw Material Prices and Decrease in Gross Profit Margin

In 2011, China saw its highest inflation rate in over 10 years. While the overall inflation started to ease in 2012, the increase in raw materials prices, labor costs and fuel and utilities costs continued to impact us. Also, in a fragmented market, hardly could the selling price of our products keep pace with the increase in raw materials prices on a timely basis.

Increase in Financing Costs Further Limited Our Ability to Expand Business

The unfavorable payment term offered by our customers in refractories segment and fine precision abrasives segment strained our working capital needs, and as a result significantly increased our financing costs, as banks charged higher interest rates when we discounted more bills receivables to meet our working capital needs.

Uncertainties Facing Our Fracture Proppants Segment

Starting from 2012, more and more Chinese manufacturers of fracture proppants products started to sell their products directly in the U.S. market. Since our sales of fracture proppants products in the U.S. market were mainly through wholesalers and distributors, the change in the market condition made it nearly impossible for us to continue sales in the U.S. market while still maintaining a reasonable profit margin. As a result, our sales in the U.S. market were discontinued temporarily in the first six months of 2012. We are currently looking at other alternatives to increase our sales of fracture proppants products, especially restore our profitable sales in the U.S. market; however, we cannot guarantee sales and gross profit margin in fracture proppants segment can maintain the level seen in 2011.

Deteriorating Market for Our Fine Precision Abrasives Segment

China’s solar industry is experiencing severe challenge with many large solar panel manufacturers struggling to survive. As a supplier of solar-energy companies, we are facing remarkable uncertainties in maintaining our current customers. If we cannot continue our sales of fine precision abrasives products to solar industry or have to reduce selling price significantly, our revenue will decline and we may need to discontinue our production.

The average conversion rates between RMB and U.S. dollar used for the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss increased approximately 3.7% during the reporting period of 2012 compared with the reporting period of 2011. As substantially all of our revenues and most expenses are denominated in RMB, the appreciation in the value of RMB relative to the U.S. dollar affected our financial results reported in the U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations.

Sales revenues. Sales revenues decreased approximately $816,000, or 4.0% to approximately $19.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from approximately $20.4 million in the same period of 2011. Excluding foreign currency translation, the revenue decreased approximately $1.5 million, or 7.2% compared with the same period of 2011. Our sales revenue is currently generated from sales of our mineral-based products, primarily our refractory products, fracture proppant products, fine precision abrasives products and industrial ceramic products. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decreased sales of our fracture proppant products.

In our refractory segment, we sold 22,842 metric tons of refractory products in the second quarter of 2012, compared with 27,686 metric tons sold in the same period of 2011. The revenue from our refractory products was approximately $11.6 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared with $12.5 million in the same period of 2011. Excluding foreign currency translation, the revenue decreased approximately $1.3 million, or 10.4% compared with the same period of 2011. The average selling price increased to $509 per metric ton compared with $452 per metric ton in the second quarter of 2011 and the price increase partially offset the impact of decrease in sales volume on our revenue. Excluding foreign currency translation, the average selling price increased to $491 per metric ton in the second quarter of 2012.

The decrease in net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to fewer activities related to our construction of manufacturing and administrative facilities and no acquisition of land use right occurred.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $16.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared with net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $18.4 million in the same period of 2011.

Statutory Reserves

Under PRC regulations, all our subsidiaries in the PRC may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC GAAP. In addition, these companies are required to set aside at least 10% of their after-tax net profits each year, if any, to fund the statutory reserves until the balance of the reserves reaches 50% of their registered capital. The statutory reserves are not distributable in the form of cash dividends to the Company and can be used to make up cumulative prior year losses.

Special Reserve

Before the reorganization, a former subsidiary of Refractories, Gongyi GengSheng Refractories Co., Ltd., was entitled to a special tax concession (“Tax Concession”) because it employed the required number of disabled staff according to the relevant PRC tax rules. In particular, this Tax Concession exempted the subsidiary from paying enterprise income tax. However, these tax savings can only be used for future development of its production facilities or welfare matters, and cannot be distributed as cash dividends. Accordingly, the same amount of tax savings was set aside and taken to special reserve which is not available for distribution. This reserve as maintained by the subsidiary has been combined into Refractories upon the reorganization and is subject to the same restrictions in its usage.

Restrictions on net assets also include the conversion of local currency into foreign currencies, tax withholding obligations on dividend distributions, the need to obtain SAFE approval for loans to a non-PRC consolidated entity and the covenants or financial restrictions related to outstanding debt obligations. We did not have these restrictions on our net assets as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The following table provides the amount of our statutory reserves, special reserve, the amount of restricted net assets, consolidated net assets, and the amount of restricted net assets as a percentage of consolidated net assets, as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

    As of June
30, 2012
(Unaudited)
    As of
December 31,
2011
 
             
Statutory reserves $ 4,554,936   $ 4,554,936  
Special reserve   3,556,036      3,556,036  
             
Total restricted net assets $ 8,110,972   $ 8,110,972  
Consolidated net assets $ 47,086,388   $ 53,589,986  
Restricted net assets as percentage of consolidated net assets   17.2 %   15.1 %

Total restricted net assets only accounted for approximately 17.2% of our consolidated net assets as of June 30, 2012. As our subsidiaries usually set aside only 10% of after-tax net profits each year to fund the statutory reserves and are not required to fund the statutory reserves when they incur losses, we believe the potential impact of such restricted net assets on our liquidity is limited.

Accounts Receivable and Bills Receivable

Accounts receivable represents amounts due to GengSheng by our customers on the sale of products or services on credit.

Bills receivable represents bank undertakings that essentially guarantee the payment of amounts owed by our customers to us. The undertakings are provided by banks upon receipt of collateral deposits from the customers. Bills receivable can be sold by us at a discount before maturity.

The following is the aging analysis for accounts receivable as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

    As of June
30, 2012
(Unaudited)
    As of
December 31,
2011
 
             
Due within 1 year $ 48,113,370   $  43,781,105  
Due from 1 to 2 years    4,758,536      4,863,486  
Due from 2 to 3 years    1,405,758     1,037,185  
Due over 3 years    1,684,379     1,532,792  
             
Total $  55,962,043   $ 51,214,568

The following is the aging analysis for bills receivable as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

    As of June
30, 2012
(Unaudited)
    As of
December 31,
2011
 
             
Due within 6 months $ 12,363,231   $ 6,331,997  
             
Total $ 12,363,231   $ 6,331,997  

We generally provide our customers in the refractories segment a payment period of 90 days and our customers in the fine precision abrasives segment a payment period of 180 days. As there are many producers in the refractories and fine precision abrasives market competing with us, we find it difficult to change these payment terms.

We noted that turnover days of accounts receivable in our refractories segment increased in 2012 due to the macro economic situation. However, we are usually willing to continue the relationship with our customers in the refractory segment and allow for additional time for them to make payments. In the meantime, since most of our large customers are state-owned steel producers and our products are essential for their daily operations, we have not seen a significant increase of risk related to the collection of accounts receivables.
 

Critical Accounting Policies

Basis of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These accounts and estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of trade receivables, other receivables, inventories, deferred income taxes, provision of warranty, the estimation on useful lives of property, plant and equipment and the impairment of goodwill, know-how and deposit for acquisition of a non-consolidated affiliate. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

20


Allowance for doubtful accounts

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectability of trade receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of the allowance. The Company considers the historical level of credit losses and applies percentages to aged receivable categories. The Company makes judgments about the creditworthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations, and monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a larger allowance may be required.

Based on the above assessment, during the reporting periods, the management established the general provisioning policy to make allowance equivalent to 5% (2011: 5%) of trade receivables due from 1 to 2 years, 40% (2011: 40%) of trade receivables due from 2 to 3 years and 90% (2011: 70%) of trade receivables due over 3 years. Additional specific provision is made against trade receivables to the extent which they are considered to be doubtful.

Bad debts are written off when identified. The Company does not accrue interest on trade receivables.

Acquisition of a non-consolidated affiliate

Investment in an entity over which the Company does not have control, but has significant influence, is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s investment in Yili YiQiang Silicon Limited ("Yili") is reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as investment in a non-consolidated affiliate.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes impairment of long-lived assets in the event that the net book values of such assets exceed the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. During the reporting periods, the Company has not identified any indicators that would require testing for impairment.

Financial guarantee issued

The Company has acted as guarantor for bank loans granted to certain local authorities and certain business associates. The Company assessed its obligation under this guarantee pursuant to the provision of ASC 460 “Guarantee”. The Company recognized in its consolidated financial statements a liability for that guarantee at fair value at the date of inception and recognized as an expense in profit or loss immediately. The amount of guarantee liability is amortized in profit or loss over the term of the guarantee as income from financial guarantees issued.

Revenue recognition

Pure products sales - Sales revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer at the time when the products are delivered to and accepted by customers, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

Products sales with installation, testing, maintenance, repair and replacement - This kind of contract is signed as a whole such that all of these services are provided for one fixed fee, and it does not separate the components of products, installation, testing, maintenance, repair and replacement. After delivery of products/materials to customers, the Company will do the installation and testing works, which takes one to two days, before acceptance and usage by customers. The product life cycle is very short and can normally be used for 80 cycles of production by customers (about two to three days). Thereafter the customers will need maintenance, repair and replacement of the Company’s materials. For each maintenance, repair and replacement, the Company will supply materials and do the installation and testing works again, which are regarded as separate sales by the Company. In other words, the Company will have sales to this kind of customers every couple of days. This kind of sales revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer at the time when the installation and testing works are completed and after acceptance by customers, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

Revenue from sales of the Company’s product represents the invoiced value of goods, net of the value-added tax (“VAT”). The Company’s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to VAT at a rate of 17 percent of the gross sales price. The VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials, other materials or costs included in the cost of producing the Company’s products.

Stock-based compensation

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718, which requires the use of the fair value method of accounting for share-based compensation. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost related to employee stock options or similar equity instruments which are equity-classified awards, is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the requisite service period, which is usually the vesting period. ASC 718 also requires measurement of cost of a liability-classified award based on its current fair value.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)”. The amendments in this update will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU has no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-09, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Multiemployer Plans (Subtopic 715 - 80)”. The amendments in this update require additional disclosures about an employer's participation in a multiemployer plan. ASU 2011-09 is effective for annual periods for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011, and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2011-09 should be applied retrospectively for all prior periods presented. The adoption of this ASU has no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210)”. The objective of this update is to provide enhanced disclosures that will enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position. This includes the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with an entity’s recognized assets and recognized liabilities within the scope of this update. The amendments require enhanced disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. An entity is required to apply the amendments retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this ASU has no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)”. The amendments in this update supersede certain pending paragraphs in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, to effectively defer only those changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments will be temporary to allow the Board time to redeliberate the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income for annual and interim financial statements for public, private, and non-profit entities. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this ASU has no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02 on impairment testing for indefinite-lived intangible assets. This ASU amends FASB Codification Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other to allow, but not require, an entity, when performing its annual or more frequent indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test, to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount. ASU2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2012-02. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
