Summary of significant accounting policies

   

Basis of presentation and consolidation

   

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC in the Company’s Form 10-K on April 1, 2013.

   

In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the three-month period have been made. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year.

6


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

Fair value of financial instruments

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments including those financial instruments for which fair value option was not elected. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities approximated their fair values due to short maturities or the applicable interest rates approximated the current market rates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period for the comparative purposes.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2013-02”). Under ASU 2013-02, an entity is required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this pronouncement effective January 1, 2013 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830)—Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity”. These amendments provide guidance on releasing Cumulative Translation Adjustments when a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. In addition, these amendments provide guidance on the release of CTA in partial sales of equity method investments and in step acquisitions. For public entities, the amendments are effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments should be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. Prior periods should not be adjusted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

7



In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”. These amendments provide that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except to the extent that a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes that would result from disallowance of a tax position, or the tax law does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, then the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Sales revenue. Our sales revenue is generated from sales of heat exchange products. Sales revenue increased by $1.25 million, or 10.02%, to $13.76 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $12.51 million for the same period in 2012. Our sales volume in the three months ended September 30, 2013 amounted to 421 units, a decrease of 283 units, from 704 units for the same period in 2012. Unit price increased by $14,921, or 83.98%, to $32,688 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $17,767 for the same period in 2012. The increase in unit price was caused by we manufactured more special products with high price and high costs according to our customers’ higher requirements. Sales revenue increase was mainly due to the increased sales revenue from plate heat exchanger, heat exchange units and air-cooler in the 2013 period as compared with the 2012 period. Sales revenue from plate heat exchanger increased by $1.10 million, or 25.19%, to $5.48 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $4.37 million for the same period in 2012. Heat exchange units increased by $0.66 million, or 14.51%, to $5.18 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $4.52 million for the same period in 2012. Air-cooler increased by $0.30 million, or 241.74%, to $0.43 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $0.13 million for the same period in 2012. Although sales revenue from shell-and-tube heat exchangers decreased, the decrease was not enough to offset the increased sales revenue from plate heat exchanger, heat exchange units and air-cooler.

The following table shows our sales revenue by product for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

TOTAL

Cost of sales. Our cost of sales is primarily comprised of the costs of our raw materials, labor and factory overhead. Our cost of sales increased by $2.17 million, or 29.60%, to $9.49 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $7.33 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. We manufactured more special products with high price and high costs according to our customers’ higher requirements in the third quarter which led to increased cost of sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales revenue were 68.99% and 58.57% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, an increase of 10.42 percentage points. The increase was mainly attributable to the costs of manufacturing the special products.

Gross profit. Our gross profit is equal to the difference between our sales revenue and our cost of sales. Our gross profit decreased by $0.92 million, or 17.66%, to $4.27 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $5.18 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease in our gross profit was mainly attributable to we manufactured more special products with high price and high costs according to our customers’ higher requirements, so the cost of sales increased significantly. The average unit selling price of our products increased 83.98% in the three months ended September 30, 2013 in comparison with the same period in 2012. Gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2013 decreased to 31.01% from 41.43% for the same period in 2012. The decrease in our gross profit margin was mainly attributable to the increase in labor costs and raw material costs associated with the special products as noted above.

15


Administrative expenses. Our administrative expenses consist of the costs associated with staff and support personnel who manage our business activities. Our administrative expenses decreased by $1.03 million, or 43.43%, to $1.35 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $2.38 million for the same period in 2012. As a percentage of sales revenue, administrative expenses decreased to 9.80% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to 19.05% for the same period in 2012. The decrease in administrative expense was primarily due to the decrease in bad debt expense in the third quarter of 2013. Bad debt expense decreased by $0.95 million, or 85.47%, to $0.16 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared with $1.1 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease in the bad debt expense was mainly due to the account receivables collection for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was much better than the same period in 2012. The decrease was mainly because we established special department to collect the bad debt in the third quarter in 2013.

Research and development expenses. Our research and development expenses consist of the costs associated with research and development personnel and expense in research and development projects. Our research and development expenses increased by $0.24 million, or 76.70%, to $0.56 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $0.32 million for the same period in 2012. The increase in research and development expenses was mainly attributable to the increase in the costs of raw materials used in R&D.

Selling expenses. Our selling expenses include sales commissions, the cost of advertising and promotional materials, salaries and fringe benefits of sales personnel, after-sale support services and other sales-related costs. Our selling expenses decreased by $0.07 million, or 4.37%, to $1.57 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $1.64 million for the same period in 2012. As a percentage of sales revenue, selling expenses decreased to 11.38% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to 13.09% for the same period in 2012. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decreased travelling expenses of our sales personnel. Traveling expense decreased by $0.33 million, or 41.93%, to $0.46 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $0.79 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease in travelling expenses was mainly due to less orders received in the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Income before income taxes. Income before income taxes increased by $0.13million, or 19.43%, to $0.79 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $0.66 million for the same period in 2012. Such increase was mainly attributable to the increase in our sales revenue.

Income taxes. Our income taxes decreased to $0.09 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $0.12 million for the same period in 2012, as a result of the prepayment of income tax decreased in the third quarter in 2013.

Net income attributable to common stockholders. As a result of the cumulative effect of the foregoing factors, our net income attributable to common stockholders increased by $0.20 million, or 38.35%, to $0.70 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $0.50 million for the same period in 2012.

Sales revenue. Our sales revenue decreased by $2.57 million, or 7.31%, to $32.58 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from $35.15 million for the same period in 2012. Our sales volume in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 amounted to 1,403 units, a decrease of 540 units, from 1,943 units for the same period in 2012. Unit price increased by $5,133, or 28.37%%, to $23,225 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from $18,092 for the same period in 2012. The increase in unit price was caused by we manufactured more special products with high price and high costs according to our customers’ higher requirements. Sales revenue decrease was mainly due to the decreased sales revenue from shell-and-tube heat exchangers and heat exchange units in the 2013 period as compared with the 2012 period. Sales revenue from shell-and-tube heat exchangers decreased by $2.34 million, or 54.85%, to $1.93 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from $4.27 million for the same period in 2012. Sales revenue from heat exchange units decreased $1.64 million, or 13.84%, to $10.20 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $11.84 million for the same period in 2012. Although sales revenue from air coolers and other products increased, the increase was not enough to offset the decreased sales revenue from the products noted above.

The following table shows our sales revenue by product for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

Cost of sales. Our cost of sales increased by $0.76 million, or 3.72%, to $21.31 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from $20.55 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. We manufactured more special products with high price and high costs according to our customers’ higher requirements in the third quarter which led to increased cost of sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales revenue were 65.41% and 58.46% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, an increase of 6.95 percentage points. The increase was mainly attributable to the costs of manufacturing the special products.

Gross profit. Our gross profit decreased by $3.33 million, or 22.83%, to $11.27 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from $14.60 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease in our gross profit was mainly attributable to decreased sales revenue from shell-and-tube heat exchangers and heat exchange units. The average unit selling price of our products increased 28.37% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 in comparison with the same period in 2012. Gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 dropped to 34.59% from 41.54% for the same period in 2012. The decrease in our gross profit margin was mainly attributable to the increase in labor costs and raw material costs associated with the special products as noted above.

Administrative expenses. Our administrative expenses decreased by $0.57 million, or 12.90%, to $3.85 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from $4.42 million for the same period in 2012. As a percentage of sales revenue, administrative expenses decreased to 11.82% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to 12.58% for the same period in 2012. The decrease in administrative expense was primarily due to the decrease in bad debt expense for the nine month ended September 30, 2013. Bad debt expense decreased by $1.11 million, or 75.30%, to $0.36 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with $1.47 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts was mainly due to the account receivables collection for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is much better than the same period in 2012. The decrease was mainly because we established special department to collect the bad debt in the third quarter in 2013.

Research and development expenses. Our research and development expenses increased by $0.38 million, or 46.23%, to $1.19 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from $0.81 million for the same period in 2012. The increase in research and development expenses was mainly attributable to the increase in the costs of raw materials used in R&D.

Selling expenses. Our selling expenses decreased by $1.78 million, or 30.48%, to $4.06 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from $5.85 million for the same period in 2012. As a percentage of sales revenue, selling expenses decreased to 12.47% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to 16.63% for the same period in 2012. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decreased travelling expenses of our sales personnel. Traveling expense decreased by $2.09 million, or 66.04%, to $1.07 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from $3.16 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease in travelling expenses was mainly due to less orders received in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Income before income taxes. Income before income taxes decreased by $1.02 million, or 36.18%, to $1.79 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from $2.81 million for the same period in 2012. Such decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in our gross profit.

Income taxes. Our income taxes increased to $0.38 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from $0.23 million for the same period in 2012, as a result of the adjustment of income taxes rebates which requested us to pay back adjusted amount of taxes from 2008 to 2012 in the second quarter of 2013.

Net income attributable to common stockholders. As a result of the cumulative effect of the foregoing factors, our net income attributable to common stockholders decreased by $1.14 million, or 45.43%, to $1.36 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from $2.50 million for the same period in 2012. As a percentage of sales revenue, our net income attributable to common stockholders was 4.19% and 7.11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.75 million, primarily consisting of cash on hand and demand deposits. We can use our land as collateral to borrow approximately 6.18 million. In addition, we have an approximately $15.95 million credit line from Agriculture Bank and Construction Bank of China. We anticipate that cash on hand and borrowing capacity under our bank loans will be sufficient to satisfy our ongoing obligations.

We believe our allowance for doubtful accounts is appropriate. We have an installment payment arrangement with our customers. The current economic slowdown and China’s tightened credit policy led to delayed payments and delayed delivery schedules by our customers, which in turn caused us to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts from a reversal of allowance of $1.47 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $0.36 million in the same period in 2013. To control inflation after a massive stimulus plan, the Chinese government tightened its credit policy. As a result, state-owned banks limited their lending to large state-owned corporations and privately held companies continue to have difficulty accessing capital. Most of our customers have been affected by the tightened credit policy and have limited access to capital. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts at a rate of 25% for receivables aged between 1 to 2 years, 50% for receivables aged between 2 to 3 years and 100% for receivables aged over 3 years.

Our allowance of obsolete inventory is also appropriate because we purchase raw materials after we receive purchase orders. Although our customers may delay their payment or delivery schedules, which increase our inventories, they do not cancel their orders so as to cause us to classify the delayed inventories as obsolete inventories.

We expect that the trend of delayed customer payments and delayed delivery schedules will continue in the future. We have been taking the following measures to mitigate the situation: 1) send the collection letters or call the customers to request payment; 2) appoint specialists to visit our customers to collect payment; 3) file law suits.

PRC legal restrictions permit payments of dividends by our PRC subsidiaries only out of their accumulated after-tax profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Our PRC subsidiaries are also required under PRC laws and regulations to allocate at least 10% of their annual after-tax profits determined in accordance with PRC GAAP to a statutory general reserve fund until the amounts in said fund reaches 50% of our 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. Given that the Company and the PRC subsidiaries do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, we consider the impact of restrictions on our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations is not significant.

Seasonality

Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have been subject to seasonal variations. Our revenues usually increase over each quarter of the calendar year with the first quarter usually the slowest quarter because fewer projects are undertaken during and around the Chinese spring festival.

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 Chinese economy and our industry and continually maintain effective cost controls 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, sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to an investment in our securities.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those we believe are most important to portraying our financial conditions and results of operations and also require the greatest amount of subjective or complex judgments by management. Judgments and uncertainties regarding the application of these policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under various conditions or using different assumptions. See Note 3 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not Applicable.

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 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. Guohong Zhao, and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Zhigang Xu, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of September 30, 2013. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, Messrs. Zhao and He 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, 2012, which we are still in the process of remediating as of September 30, 2013, 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, 2012 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.

20


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, 2012, our management identified material weakness related to our lack of: (1) sufficient and adequately trained accounting and finance personnel; (2) qualified resources to perform the internal audit functions properly; and (3) an internal audit department which renders ineffective our ability to prevent and detect control lapses and errors in the accounting of certain key areas. As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, our management has identified the steps necessary to address the material weaknesses, and in the third quarter of 2013, we continued to implement these remedial procedures.

Other than in connection with the implementation of the remedial measures described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION

We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse affect on our business, cash flows, financial condition or operating results.
