The production facilities of the Company, other than the Prefecture’s sub-processing factory located in Guizhou, are also located in Henan Province.

   

Monolithic refractory products allow steel makers and other customers to improve the productivity and longevity of their equipment and machinery. Functional ceramic products mainly include abrasive balls and tiles, valves, electronic ceramics and structural ceramics. Fracture proppant products are used to reach trapped pockets of oil and natural gas deposits, which lead to higher productivities of oil and natural gas wells. Due to their heat-resistant qualities and ability to function under thermal stress, refractories serve as components in industrial furnaces and other heavy industrial machinery. Corundum materials are major raw material for producing monolithic refractory. Fine precision abrasive is the Company’s new product, which is used for slicing the solar-silicon bar and polishing the equipment surface, and it is expected to be commercially launched in late 2009. The Company’s customers include some of the largest steel and iron producers located in 25 provinces in the PRC, as well as in the United States and other countries in Asia, and Europe.

Summary of significant accounting policies

   

Principles of consolidation

   

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

   

Concentrations of credit risk

   

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, trade, bills and other receivables, and financial guarantee issued to third parties. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality. With respect to trade and bills receivables, the Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade and other receivables and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts of trade and other receivables.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Bills receivable in China are undertaken by the banks to honor the payments at maturity and the customers are required to place deposits with the banks equivalent to a certain percentage of the bills amount as collateral. These bills receivable can be sold to any third party at a discount before maturity. The Company does not maintain allowance for bills receivable in the absence of bad debt experience and the payments are undertaken by the banks. The financial guarantees issued to third parties are located in the PRC. The management believes Gengsheng’s operating subsidiaries have high credit ratings and good reputation in their respective industries.

During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, we had only one customer, Shandong Steel Co., Ltd (formerly, “Rizhao Steel”), representing 10% or more of the company’s consolidated sales. Our sales to Shandong Steel amounted to $6,000,062 or 14.39%, $6,067,479 or 16.48% of our sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and $1,453,231 or 9.74%, $1,928,446 or 14.99% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively.

Fair value of financial instruments

The company adopted ASC 820 (previously Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of ASC 820 did not materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASC 825 requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments including those financial instruments for which fair value option was not elected. Except for collateralized borrowings disclosed as below, the carrying amounts of other financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair value due to short maturities:

    As of September 30, 2009     As of December 31, 2008  
    (Unaudited)     (Audited)  
    Carrying     Fair     Carrying     Fair  
    amount     value     amount     value  
                         
Collateralized bank loans $  13,789,800   $ 13,858,882   $  2,640,600   $  2,697,692  

The fair values of collateralized borrowings are based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2009-1). In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) approved its Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative United States accounting and reporting standards applicable for all non-governmental entities, with the exception of the SEC and its staff. The Codification is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009 and impacts our financial statements as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification. There have been no changes to the content of our financial statements or disclosures as a result of implementing the Codification.

As a result of our implementation of the Codification during the quarter ended September 30, 2009, previous references to new accounting standards and literature are no longer applicable. In the current quarter financial statements, we will provide reference to both new and old guidance to assist in understanding the impacts of recently adopted accounting literature, particularly for guidance adopted since the beginning of the current fiscal year but prior to the Codification.

Noncontrolling Interests (Included in amended Topic ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, an amendment of ARB No. 51). The amended topic establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. We adopted the amended topic on January 1, 2009. As a result, we have reclassified financial statement line items within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the prior period to conform to this amended topic.

Business Combinations (Included in amended Topic ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, previously SFAS No. 141(R)). This ASC guidance addresses the accounting and disclosure for identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in a business combination. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Included in amended Topic ASC 350”, previously FASB staff position (“FSP”) FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets). The amended topic amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. The amended topic is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Business Combinations (Included in amended Topic ASC 805, previously FSP No. 141R-1 “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies”). Amended topic ASC 805 amends the requirements for the provisions in FASB Statement 141R for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations. The amended topic eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the initial recognition and measurement criteria and instead carries forward most of the provisions for acquired contingencies. The amended topic is effective for contingent assets and contingent liabilities acquired. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this amended topic on the Company’s financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Included in amended Topic ASC 820, previously FSP No. 157-4, “Determining Whether a Market is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed”.) The amended topic clarifies when markets are illiquid or that market pricing may not actually reflect the “real” value of an asset. If a market is determined to be inactive and market price is reflective of a distressed price then an alternative method of pricing can be used, such as a present value technique to estimate fair value. The amended topic identifies factors to be considered when determining whether or not a market is inactive. The amended topic would be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Investments - Debt and Equity Securities - Overall - Transition and Open Effective Date Information (Included in amended Topic ASC 320, previously FASB Staff Position No. 115-2 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”). The amended topic amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities through increased consistency in the timing of impairment recognition and enhanced disclosures related to the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. In addition, increased disclosures are required for both debt and equity securities regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and securities with unrealized losses. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Included in amended Topic ASC 825 “Financial Instruments”, previously FSP SFAS No. 107-1). This guidance requires that the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments be included in interim financial statements. This guidance also requires entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an interim and annual basis and to highlight any changes from prior periods. The amended topic was effective for interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Subsequent Events (Included in amended Topic ASC 855 “Subsequent Events”, previously SFAS No. 165). The amended topic establishes accounting and disclosure requirements for subsequent events. The amended topic details the period after the balance sheet date during which we should evaluate events or transactions that occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which we should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the required disclosures for such events. We adopted this amended topic effective June 1, 2009.

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (included in amended Topic ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing”, previously SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.”). The amended topic addresses information a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about the transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. Also, the amended topic removes the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity, limits the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a financial asset, defines participating interest and enhances the information provided to financial statement users to provide greater transparency. The amended topic is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this amended topic on the Company’s financial statements.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – Amended (included in amended Topic ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”). The amended topic require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The amended topic also requires enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. The amended topic is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this amended topic on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05 (“ASC Update 2009-05”), an update to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This update provides amendments to reduce potential ambiguity in financial reporting when measuring the fair value of liabilities. Among other provisions, this update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the valuation techniques described in ASC Update 2009-05. ASC Update 2009-05 will become effective for the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASC update on the Company’s financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements - A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” This update provides application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables should be separated and how the consideration should be allocated to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific or third-party evidence is available. The Company will be required to apply this guidance prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011; however, earlier application is permitted. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASC update on the Company’s financial statements.

Goodwill and intangible assets (Cont’d)

Note a: Refractories entered into a contract with an independent third party to purchase technical unpatented technology in relation to the production of mortar, at a cash consideration of $342,750 (translated at historical rate). This consideration was mutually agreed between Refractories and such third party and this unpatented technology can be used for an unlimited period of time. Since its acquisition, annual impairment review was performed by management and no impairment was identified and accordingly, it is stated at cost as at September 30, 2009.

Note b: In late 2008, Gengsheng International, entered into a contract with an individual third party (licensor) for a patented technology license for use up to 2021. This patented technology represents “know-how” on methods and installation for removal particles from the powder for Abrasive. As the commercial production has yet to be launched, no amortization and no impairment is expected. It would be amortized when the relevant production line is available for use.

The estimate aggregate amortization for patented technology for the five succeeding years are as follows:

  Year   Amount  
       
   2010 $  48,900  
   2011   48,900  
   2012   48,900  
   2013   48,900  
   2014   48,900  
       
  $  244,500  

Note c: The goodwill was identified upon the acquisition of 100% equity interest in Prefecture, which represented the excess of the purchase price of $875,400 over the fair value of acquired identified net assets of Prefecture of $434,311 at the time of acquisition on June 12, 2008. Since its acquisition, an annual impairment review was performed by management and no impairment has been identified.

Income taxes

UNITED STATES

The Company is incorporated in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and is subject to U.S. tax law. No provisions for income taxes have been made as the Company has no U.S. taxable income for reporting periods. The applicable income tax rate for the reporting periods is 34%. The Company has not provided deferred tax on undistributed earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008, as it is the Company’s current policy to reinvest these earnings in non-U.S. operations.

BVI

Gengsheng International Corporation and Smarthigh were incorporated in the BVI and are not subject to income taxes under the current laws of the BVI.

PRC

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress approved the Corporate Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “New CIT Law”). The New CIT Law reduces the corporate income tax rate from 33% to 25% with effect from January 1, 2008.

In the fiscal year 2004, Refractories was a domestic enterprise in the PRC and subject to the enterprise income tax at 33%, of which 30% was national tax and 3% was local tax, of the assessable profits as reported in the statutory financial statements prepared under China Accounting regulations. Following the change of the legal form of Refractories from a domestic enterprise to a wholly foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”) (after its entire equity interest was acquired by Gengsheng International), Refractories became subject to a preferential enterprise income tax rate at 30%. Further, according to the PRC tax laws and regulations, Refractories being a WFOE is entitled to, starting from the first profitable year, a two-year exemption from the enterprise income tax followed by a three-year 50% reduction in its enterprise income tax rate (“Tax Holiday”). As such, after the application by Refractories and approval by the relevant tax authority, Refractories was exempted from the enterprise income tax for the fiscal years 2005 and 2006 and was subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 15% for the fiscal year 2007. However, as a result of the new unified tax law mentioned above, for the fiscal years 2008 and 2009, Refractories is subject to enterprise income tax at a rate of 12.5% and starting from the fiscal year 2010, Refractories will be subject to enterprise income tax at a unified rate of 25%.

High-Temperature engages in an advanced technology industry and has passed the inspection of Henan Province, so its was granted a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15% for two years upon the issuance of certificate by the relevant government authority. High-Temperature received such certificates in 2004 and 2006. Accordingly, High-Temperature was subject to a preferential tax rate of 15% for fiscal years 2004 to 2007. Pursuant to the notices issued by the State Administration Taxation dated January 30, 2008 and April 14, 2008, High-Temperature continued to enjoy the preferential tax rate of 15% in 2008. As its high technology industry status has not been re-registered and approved by the relevant PRC authority, High-Temperature is subject to enterprise income tax at the unified rate of 25% after 2008.

Duesail, being a WFOE, is subject to a preferential enterprise income tax rate at 30% and is entitled to the Tax Holiday upon application. In fiscal year 2007, Duesail did not apply for such Tax Holiday as no assessable profit was generated by Duesail since its establishment on August 25, 2006. Under the New CIT Law, the Tax Holiday will be deemed to commence in 2008 and therefore Duesail is exempted from the enterprise income tax for the fiscal years 2008 and 2009. Duesail will be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 12.5% for fiscal years from 2010 to 2012 and a rate of 25% thereafter.

Prefecture, being a domestic enterprise established in the PRC was subject to enterprise income tax at 33%. Prefecture is located in Guizhou, in accordance with the Guizhou Province of Western Development Scheme and the City Investment Policy issued by the central government of the PRC, and was entitled to a three-year exemption from the enterprise income tax followed by a two-year 50% reduction in its enterprise income tax, starting from 2005. As such, Prefecture was exempted from the enterprise income tax for fiscal years 2005 to 2007 and under the New CIT Law mentioned above; Prefecture is subject to enterprise income tax at a rate of 12.5% for fiscal years 2008 and 2009. Starting from the fiscal year 2010, Prefecture will be subject to the enterprises income tax at the unified rate of 25%.

Segment information

     

The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. In our management’s view, including that of chief operating decision make, we operate through four operating segments that offer distinct products and services, consisting of monolithic refractory products, functional ceramic products, fracture proppant products and fine precision products. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer.

     

As such, the Company has determined that it has four reportable segments under ASC 820 (previously SFAS 131), “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”: Monolithic refractory products, functional ceramic products, fracture proppant products and fine precision products. However, since the Company has not yet commenced the commercial abrasive production of fine precision products, there is not yet any revenue from this new product line.

     

The following were details of each of the Company’s reporting segments:

Overview

We are a Nevada-based holding company operating in the materials technology industry through our directly and indirectly controlled subsidiaries in China. We develop, manufacture and sell a broad range of mineral-based, heat-resistant, and efficiency-enhancing industrial material products for industries such as steel and oil. Our four product segments are refractory products, industrial ceramics and fracture proppants, and fine precision abrasives.

The following chart reflects our organizational structure as of the date of this report.


21


Currently, we conduct our operations in China through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Henan Gengsheng Refractories Co., Ltd. (the “Refractories”), ZhengZhou Duesail Fracture Proppant Co., Ltd. (the “Duesail”), Henan Gengsheng Micronized Powder Materials Co., Ltd. (the “Micronized”), and Guizhou Southeast Prefecture Gengsheng New Materials Co., Ltd. (the “Prefecture”) and through our majority owned subsidiary, Henan Gengsheng High-Temperature Materials Co., Ltd. (the “High-Temperature”). We manufacture and sell monolithic refractory products, industrial ceramic products, fracture proppants, and, soon, fine precision abrasives products as the 20,000-ton annual capacity production facility was completed in April 2009 and trial production began in July 2009. Through our direct, wholly owned BVI subsidiary, Gengsheng International and its direct and wholly owned Chinese subsidiary, Duesail, we manufacture fracture proppant products.

We sell our products to over 200 customers in the iron, steel, oil, glass, cement, aluminum and chemical businesses located in China and other countries in Asia, Europe and North America. Our refractory customers are companies in the steel, iron, petroleum, chemical, coal, glass and mining industries and our fracture proppant products are sold to oil and gas companies. Our industrial ceramics are products used by the utilities and petrochemical industries. The Company’s new product segment, fine precision abrasives, is targeted for photovoltaic (PV) equipment and optical equipment manufacturers. Our largest customers, measured by their percentage of our revenue, mainly operate in the steel industry. Currently, most of our revenues are derived from the sale of our monolithic refractory products to customers in China.

Corporate Background

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 to “China Gengsheng Minerals, Inc.” on July 26, 2007 as we found that a Delaware company, which also manufactures refractories, uses a similar corporate name.

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 Shunqing Zhang, the sole shareholder of Powersmart Holdings Limited, 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. Powersmart Holdings Limited thereby became our wholly owned subsidiary and Mr. Zhang became our controlling stockholder. Upon the closing of the reverse acquisition, Timothy P. Halter, our sole officer and director, submitted his resignation letter pursuant to which he resigned from all offices of our company that he held effective immediately and from his position as our director on May 31, 2007. Shunqing Zhang is currently our sole director.

Our Products

The Company has four reportable segments: Monolithic refractory products, functional ceramic products, fracture proppant products and fine precision products. Below are the detail descriptions about each of the segment:

Monolithic refractory products

The manufacture of refractories has historically been the core business of the company as measured by revenue. A refractory is a nonmetallic material that is used in heavy industrial processes in which extremely high temperatures are present. Since refractory products possess excellent high-temperature-resistant properties. They are key components in various industrial furnaces, such as steel production furnaces, ladles, vessels, and other high-temperature processing machines for the iron, steel, cement, chemical, coal, glass, petrochemical, and non-ferrous industries. The majority of the company’s refractories are unshaped (monolithic) refractories, which are superior to brick refractories as they consume less energy and are more adaptable to complicated configurations. We manufacture refractories products through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Henan Gengsheng Refractories Co., Ltd, in Gongyi City, Henan Province.

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.

22


As of September 2009, the total capacity for our refractory product lines, which include both monolithic and “shaped” (or “brick”) products, was 115,000 tons per year. The company’s monolithic refractory products include castable, coating, and dry mix materials used as linings in containers, low-cement and non-cement castables used in steel-producing furnaces, and pre-cast roofs used in electric arc furnaces. Our major customers are in the iron, steel, cement, chemical and nonferrous industries.

Functional ceramic products

Our functional ceramic products, including abrasive balls and tiles, valves, electronic ceramics and structural ceramics, are components for a variety of end-use 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. These products are critical components due to their resistance to high heat, abrasion, and significant impact. The company’s industrial ceremic products include: (i)Ceramic plates, tubes, elbows, and rollers, which are used in heavy machines for steel production, power generation, and mining; (ii)Ceramic cylinders and plugs, used in plug pumps for drilling crude oil; (iii)Wearable ceramic valves, that are used for transferring gas and liquid products. The operations are held through our 89.33% held subsidiary Henan Gengsheng High-Temperature Materials Co., Ltd, in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province.

Fracture proppant products

We first produced fracture proppant products in December 2006, through our direct, wholly owned Chinese subsidiary, Duesail. Our fracture proppants are very fine ball-like pellets, highly resistant to pressure, and 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.

In October 2007, our fracture proppant products were certified by PetroChina Company Limited (the "PetroChina"), China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (the "Sinopec") and the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (the "CNOOC") as we became a first-tier supplier of fracture proppants for their oil and gas-drilling operations. Our products have also passed the tests conducted by the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association (CPCIA), which will enhance our competitiveness in the market compared to our competitors. Our main competitors for the production of fracture proppants are Carbo Ceramics Inc. and Saint-Gobain Proppants (Guanghan) Co., Ltd. Carbo Ceramics, Inc. is our strongest competitor with approximately 5% share of the domestic market share and 40% share of the international market share in this segment.

In April 2009, we installed a new production line for proppants in a newly built facility, which brought our fracture proppant production capacity from 30,000 tons per year to 60,000 tons per year. The new production line, Phase II for proppants, uses a proprietary revolving kiln technology which cuts down production time and costs by up to 10%. The Phase II improvements also include the ability to produce a wider range of proppants catering to oil wells with different underground pressures.

Fine precision products

Precision Abrasives are essentially very fine, uniformly round, silicon carbide (SiC) based particles. These ultra-fine high-strength particles are applicable in a broad range of applications including machine manufacturing, electronics, optical glass, architecture, semiconductors, silicon chips, plastics and lenses. In particular they are ideal for polishing the surface of solar panels, silicon wafers, or other high precision instruments. On July 30, 2009, we announced the start of the trial production of this new product, at our newly completed facilities, Henan Gengsheng Micronized Powder Materials Co., Ltd, in Gongyi City, Henan Province. The new facilities have an annual production capacity of 20,000 metric tons.

Currently, the type of abrasives that we plan to launch is in high demand among solar-energy companies. Solar energy companies use such products to slice the silicon bar and to polish the equipment surface to become very smooth and shining. Currently, most precision abrasives used in China are imported from Japan. Compared with Japanese products, our strengths are our ability to eliminate the big particle, reduce the cost for polishing larger particles and remove disqualified particles during the production process. Our products can be applicable in a broader range of areas including machine manufacture, electronics industry, optical glass, architecture industry development, semiconductor, silicon chip, plastic and lens.

Highlights of Third Quarter of 2009

The sales of monolithic refractory products in the third quarter of 2009 grew 4.7% to $12.2 million, compared with the third quarter in 2008, as China’s economic activities expanded and slightly decreased over the second quarter of 2009. Sales of fracture proppants in the third quarter of 2009 increased 174.2% to a new record of $2.6 million compared with revenues in the third quarter of 2008, and increased 74.6% quarter over quarter.

23


On July 8, 2009, the Company reported that it won a supply contract for fracture proppants with PetroChina's Liaohe Oilfield. The total value of the contract is $3 million (RMB 20.6 million) and Gengsheng started shipping immediately. On July 30, 2009, the Company announced that it started trial production of Fine Precision Abrasives, at the company’s newly completed facilities in Gongyi City, Henan Province. The facilities were completed in April 2009, providing an annual production of 20,000 tons. On September 22 2009, the company declared that it has introduced new-generation Light Castable products, to meet steel makers’ need to cut energy costs and increase efficiency during steel-making. The new product had been officially accepted for trial use at Baosteel, one of the biggest steel makers in China.

The following are some unaudited financial highlights for the third quarter of 2009:

  • Sales revenue approximated $14.92 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared with approximately $12.86 million for the same quarter in 2008.

  • Net income increased to approximately $1.67 million for the third quarter of 2009 from $1.17 million for the same period in 2008.

  • Our consolidated balance sheet (unaudited) as of September 30, 2009 includes current assets of approximately $64.30 million and total assets of approximately $88.17 million.

Recent Developments

On October 1, 2009, we announced a major breakthrough in industrial material technology with the invention of a new type of castables. The new castable product, called Si-Enhanced Anti-Creep High-Aluminum Castable (SEAC HAC), is created by adding silicon and other minerals to the traditional raw materials such as bauxite so that the finished product has the characteristic of much lower probability of creep, which is a gradual change of shape under stress during high-temperature industrial processes, for heating furnaces at steel mills and other industrial plants.

On September 22, 2009, we announced the introduction of a new refractory product for its steel company customers to cut energy costs and increase efficiency during steel-making. The Company held a teach-in last week on the new, high-performance, thermo-insulating and light castables at China's largest steel and iron conglomerate, Shanghai Baosteel, where our CEO, Vice President of Product Development and technology adviser shared product specifications and testing results with Shanghai Baosteel's directors of the procurement department, the technology department and various other managers and in-house experts.

On September 14, 2009, we announced the receipt of $337,000 (RMB 2.3 million) from the Henan Provincial Government in subsidy for the development and commercialization of our new product line, the fine precision abrasives.

On September 1, 2009, we announced that we established a new government-supported R&D center on the premise of the Company's subsidiary, Henan Gengsheng Refractories Co., Ltd., in Gongyi City, Henan Province, for the purpose of integrating R&D and speedy commercialization of mineral-based industrial materials. The new center, named Henan Monolithic Refractory Materials Technology Research Center, is one of the 64 key industrial engineering and technology centers designated by the Henan Provincial Government this year. The government is expected to provide grants and low-interest loans for the said institutes to develop new products and key innovations.

Sales revenue. Our sales revenue is generated from sales of our mineral-based refractory products, primarily our monolithic refractory products and, increasingly, our industrial ceramic products and fracture proppant products. Sales revenues increased approximately $2.1 million, to $14.92 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $12.86 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase came mainly from the sales growth of fracture proppant products, which generated growth rate of 174.2% year-over-year, and quarterly growth rate of 74.6%.

Cost of goods sold. Our cost of goods sold is primarily comprised of the costs of our raw materials, components, labor and overhead. Our cost of goods sold increased $1.9 million, or approximately 21.7%, to $10.7 million for the three months period ended September 30, 2009 from $8.79 million during the three months period ended September 30, 2008. As a percentage of net revenues, the cost of goods sold increased approximately to 71.7% in the three months period ended September 30, 2009 from 68.3% during the three months period ended September 30, 2008. The increase in cost of goods sold resulted primarily from the increased prices of raw materials, mainly bauxite, along with the cost increase of outsourcing products.

Gross profit. Our gross profit increased by $0.15 million, or approximately 3.6%, to $4.22 million for the three months period ended September 30, 2009 from $4.08 million for the three months period ended September 30, 2008. This increase was mainly attributable to the increase in our sales. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was 28.3% for the three months period ended September 30, 2009, as compared to 31.7% for the three months period ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in gross margin was mainly due to the increase in raw material prices and the gross margin decrease from our refractory segment.

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses consisted of the costs associated with staff and support personnel who administer our business activities and professional fees paid to third parties, and the expense of amortization and depreciation. Our general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $0.09 million, or approximately 7.3%, to $1.09 million for the three months period ended September 30, 2009, from $1.17 million for the same period in 2008. As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 7.3% for the three months period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to 9.1% for the three months period ended September 30, 2008.

Selling expenses. Our selling expenses included sales commissions, the costs of advertising and promotional materials, transportation expenses, benefits for sales personnel, after-sale support services and other sales related costs. Selling expenses decreased by $0.05 million, or approximately 3.1%, to $1.47 million for the three months period ended September 30, 2009 from $1.51 million for the three months period ended September 30, 2008. As a percentage of net revenues, our selling expenses decreased to 9.8% for the three months period ended September 30, 2009, as compared with 11.8% for the same period in 2008. The decrease in selling expenses was primarily because we have established stable and established market of fracture proppant products, which saved a lot of the market development expense in the same period of 2008.

Income before income taxes and noncontrolling interest. Income before income taxes and noncontrolling interest was approximately $1.71 million for the three months period ended September 30, 2009, a increase of 33.8% from $1.28 million for the same period in 2008. Besides of the revenue increase, the increase of Income before income taxes and noncontrolling interest was primarily attributable to other income, which recognized income of $0.27 million, from one long-term unpaid commercial bank loan, according to accounting rules, and government grant income of 44,082.

Income taxes. Our income taxes were $0.04 million for the three months period ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $0.07 million or 63.1% from $0.10 million for the three months period ended September 30, 2008.

On March 16, 2007, the National People's Congress of the PRC determined to adopt a new corporate income tax law in its fifth plenary session. The new corporate income tax law unifies the application scope, tax rate, tax deduction and preferential policy for both domestic and foreign-invested enterprises. The new corporate income tax law became effective on January 1, 2008. According to the new corporate income tax law, a 5-year transitional period is applicable for foreign-invested enterprises. As a result, the income tax rates for our operating subsidiaries this year are as follows: Refractories 12.5%, High-Temperature 25%, Duesail 0%.

Net income attributable to Company’s stockholders. Our net income increased approximately $0.47 million, or 39.6%, to approximately $1.67 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $1.20 million for the same period of 2008. The increase was due to the comprehensive factors of sales increase, expense control and streams from other incomes.

Sales revenue. Sales revenue increased approximately $4.9 million, or approximately 13.2%, to $41.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 from $36.8 million for the same period in 2008. The overall increase for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 was primarily driven by the sales growth of our fracture proppant products.

Cost of goods sold. Our cost of goods sold increased $5.59 million, or approximately 23.5%, to $29.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 from $23.7 million during the same period in 2008. As a percentage of net revenues, our cost of goods sold was 70.3% and 64.5% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in our cost of goods sold resulted primarily from the increased prices of raw materials, mainly bauxite and cost increase of outsourcing products.

Gross profit. Our gross profit decreased approximately $0.72 million, or approximately 5.5%, to $12.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 from $13.1 million for the same period in 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was 29.7% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to 35.5% during the same period in 2008. The decline in gross profit and as a percentage of net revenue was mainly due to significantly increased prices for raw materials and gross margin decrease of refractory products.

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased $0.34 million, or approximately 11.4%, to $3.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 from $3.0 million for the same period in 2008. As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses slightly decreased to 8.0% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 from 8.1% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008.

As a percentage of net revenues, our selling expenses decreased to 10.5% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 from 12.2% for the same period in 2008. This decrease in selling expenses and as a percentage of net revenue was primarily because of the cut of marketing fees for fracture proppant products, and lower selling expense ratio for international sales.

Income before income taxes and noncontrolling interest. Income before income taxes and noncontrolling interest was $5.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, a slightly decrease of 1.5% from the $5.2 million during the same period in 2008. Our income before income taxes and noncontrolling interest decreased primarily because of gross margin decrease from higher raw materials.

The decrease in income taxes resulted from the tax holiday for our fracture proppants subsidiary.

Net income attributable to Company’s stockholders. Net income attributable to Company’s stockholders decreased slightly to approximately $4.67 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to approximately $4.70 million for the same period in 2008, a decrease of approximately $0.03 million or approximately 0.7%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.9 million. The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

    Nine-month period ended September30,  
    2009     2008  
(Dollars in thousands)            
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities   (3,313 )   8,492  
Net cash (used in) investing activities   (5,280 )   (5,370 )
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities   9,495     (4,481 )
Net cash inflow (outflow)   903     (1,398 )

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $3.31 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, which is a decrease of $11.8million from $8.49 million net cash provided by operating activities for the same period in 2008. The net outflow from our operating activities was mainly due to a significant decrease in down payments received from our clients, whose business was influence negatively, especially in the first two quarters.

As of September 30, 2009, we had $1.5 million in bills receivable, which we received from our customers in the form of bankers' acceptance drafts. In China, bankers' acceptance drafts are used to settle trade debts between companies. A banker's acceptance draft is issued by a depositor who maintains an account at an acceptance bank. The acceptance bank ensures unconditional payment to the draft holder on the designated maturity date specified on the draft. Typically, our customers pay us with bankers' acceptance drafts with maturity dates ranging from 60 to 90 days. We reasonably expect that all of our bankers' acceptance drafts will be paid upon maturity. In addition, we can endorse and transfer those bankers' acceptance drafts to pay our suppliers. Overall, we believe that our cash flow from operating activities should be adequate to sustain our operations at our current levels through the rest of the 2009 year.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $5.28 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, which is an decrease of $0.09 million from $5.37 million cash used in investing activities for the same period in 2008. The cash used investing activities was mainly due to the payment of construction work for our new fine precision abrasives business segment and the construction of fracture proppants production line.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $9.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, which is an increase of $13.98 million from $4.48 million net cash used by financing activities for the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily because we obtained short-term bank loans in favor of the Chinese government’s new initiatives to stimulate the economy by the PRC government policy.

We have $13.79 million in total loans that will mature on or before the end of October 9, November 23, 2009 and March 8, March 22, March 25, May 25, June 03, September 11, 2010, respectively.

We believe that our currently available working capital, after receiving the aggregate proceeds of our credit facilities listed to above should be adequate to sustain our operations at our current levels through at least the next twelve months.

Below is a brief summary of the payment obligations under material contacts to which we are a party:

Recent accounting pronouncements

FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2009-1). In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) approved its Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative United States accounting and reporting standards applicable for all non-governmental entities, with the exception of the SEC and its staff. The Codification is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009 and impacts our financial statements as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification. There have been no changes to the content of our financial statements or disclosures as a result of implementing the Codification.

28


As a result of our implementation of the Codification during the quarter ended September 30, 2009, previous references to new accounting standards and literature are no longer applicable. In the current quarter financial statements, we will provide reference to both new and old guidance to assist in understanding the impacts of recently adopted accounting literature, particularly for guidance adopted since the beginning of the current fiscal year but prior to the Codification.

Noncontrolling Interests (Included in amended Topic ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, an amendment of ARB No. 51). The amended topic establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. We adopted the amended topic on January 1, 2009. As a result, we have reclassified financial statement line items within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the prior period to conform to this amended topic.

Business Combinations (Included in amended Topic ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, previously SFAS No. 141(R)). This ASC guidance addresses the accounting and disclosure for identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in a business combination. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Included in amended Topic ASC 350”, previously FASB staff position (“FSP”) FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets). The amended topic amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. The amended topic is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company's financial statements.

29


Business Combinations (Included in amended Topic ASC 805, previously FSP No. 141R-1 “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies”). Amended topic ASC 805 amends the requirements for the provisions in FASB Statement 141R for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations. The amended topic eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the initial recognition and measurement criteria and instead carries forward most of the provisions for acquired contingencies. The amended topic is effective for contingent assets and contingent liabilities acquired. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this amended topic on the Company’s financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Included in amended Topic ASC 820, previously FSP No. 157-4, “Determining Whether a Market is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed”.) The amended topic clarifies when markets are illiquid or that market pricing may not actually reflect the “real” value of an asset. If a market is determined to be inactive and market price is reflective of a distressed price then an alternative method of pricing can be used, such as a present value technique to estimate fair value. The amended topic identifies factors to be considered when determining whether or not a market is inactive. The amended topic would be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Investments - Debt and Equity Securities - Overall - Transition and Open Effective Date Information (Included in amended Topic ASC 320, previously FASB Staff Position No. 115-2 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”). The amended topic amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities through increased consistency in the timing of impairment recognition and enhanced disclosures related to the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. In addition, increased disclosures are required for both debt and equity securities regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and securities with unrealized losses. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Included in amended Topic ASC 825 “Financial Instruments”, previously FSP SFAS No. 107-1). This guidance requires that the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments be included in interim financial statements. This guidance also requires entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an interim and annual basis and to highlight any changes from prior periods. The amended topic was effective for interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Subsequent Events (Included in amended Topic ASC 855 “Subsequent Events”, previously SFAS No. 165). The amended topic establishes accounting and disclosure requirements for subsequent events. The amended topic details the period after the balance sheet date during which we should evaluate events or transactions that occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which we should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the required disclosures for such events. We adopted this amended topic effective June 1, 2009.

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (included in amended Topic ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing”, previously SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.”). The amended topic addresses information a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about the transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. Also, the amended topic removes the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity, limits the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a financial asset, defines participating interest and enhances the information provided to financial statement users to provide greater transparency. The amended topic is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this amended topic on the Company’s financial statements.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – Amended (included in amended Topic ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”). The amended topic require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The amended topic also requires enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. The amended topic is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this amended topic on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05 (“ASC Update 2009-05”), an update to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This update provides amendments to reduce potential ambiguity in financial reporting when measuring the fair value of liabilities. Among other provisions, this update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the valuation techniques described in ASC Update 2009-05. ASC Update 2009-05 will become effective for the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASC update on the Company’s financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements - A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” This update provides application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables should be separated and how the consideration should be allocated to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific or third-party evidence is available. The Company will be required to apply this guidance prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011; however, earlier application is permitted. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASC update on the Company’s financial statements.
