Corporate History & 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 again to "China GengSheng Minerals, Inc." on July 26, 2007 as we found a Delaware company with 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 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.

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 does 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 ending 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 are not achieved in either year, the escrow agent must release certain amounts of the make-good shares that were put into escrow. As a result, 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.

Refractories

Our largest product segment is the refractories segment, which accounted for approximately 84.0% of the total revenue in 2009. 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 the customer’s uniquely requested formula. 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 is beneficial because it lowers the overall cost of production and improves financial performance for our customers. 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 a description of their features are 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 includes 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 provides assurances that our customers will 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 47.9% of the Company’s total sales in 2009, compared with 41.0% in 2008. We believe that these services together with our refractory products provide us with a strategic advantage to secure our profits.

Industrial Ceramics

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. We install and maintain some of these products.

Some examples and description of our products and their benefits are introduced as follows:

Ceramic plates, tubes, elbows, and rollers. These products are used in heavy machines for steel production, power generation, and mining. They are highly resistant to heat, erosion, abrasion, and impact.
Ceramic cylinders and plugs. Our ceramic cylinders and plugs are often used in plug pumps for drilling crude oil. They are highly resistant to pressure.
Wearable ceramic valves. Our wearable ceramic valves are used for transferring gas and liquid products. They are highly resistant to wash out, erosion, abrasion, and impact.

We signed a five-year collaboration agreement with the Ceramics Research Institute of Zhengzhou University (the "CRI") in Henan province of China in 2008, to research and develop innovative ways of improving the manufacturing process and functionality of an array of bauxite-based materials. Specifically, we will work with CRI to optimize and reduce costs for the production of fine precision abrasives, which are bauxite-based, ultra-fine, grain-like materials used to polish fine-metal or optical equipment surfaces, including solar panels. CRI will also help us develop next-generation industrial ceramics that can reduce energy use and pollution. In addition, we and CRI will jointly apply for government grants for bauxite-based materials research.

Fracture Proppants

Our fracture proppants 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 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.

On April 27, 2009, Duesail finished construction of its second production line for fracture proppants, and successfully doubled its capacity for fracture proppants, from 33,000 tons per year to 66,000 tons per year. The newly completed production line ("Phase II") adopts a so-called 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 abrasives

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 instrument 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 shining. Our products can be utilized in a broad range of areas including machinery manufacturing, electronics industry, optical glass, architecture industry development, semiconductor, silicon chip, plastic and lens. Our fine precision abrasives product was launched in 2009 and we will begin selling in the first quarter of 2010. A description of its features is as follows:

Ultrafine precision abrasives. This product is a fine alumina or silicon carbide powder whose size is in microns. This product has characteristics suitable for wire slicing and specific polishing.

Our Competition Strength and Challenges

With over 1,500 manufacturers, the refractory market in which we compete is highly fragmented and highly competitive. In each of our product segments, there is at least one major competitor. Many of our products are made to industry specifications and may be interchangeable with our competitors’ products. Some of our competitors are large and well-established companies, such as Puyang Refractories Co., Ltd., Wuhan Ruisheng Specialty Refractory Materials Co., Ltd., and Beijing Lier Refractories Co., Ltd., and their financial resources and ability to gain market share may be greater than ours, which limits our pricing power in the market. Due to the diversity of our product offering, we believe that we enjoy a competitive advantage because most of our competitors do not offer the entire spectrum of our product line.

Refractories and Industrial Ceramics

Through our wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary Henan Gengsheng and its direct majority-owned Chinese subsidiary, High-Temperature, we manufacture refractory products and industrial ceramic products in China. We are well positioned to compete in the refractories segment and the industrial ceramics segment, because of our long-standing business relationships with the major steel companies, the quality and diversity of our products and our price differential. Major steel companies purchase our mixers and furnaces and the company is the top 1 provider of furnace products. In particular in 2004 our line of furnace products won awards in Henan Province. In addition, our patented integral casting technology for mixer furnaces has been licensed by more than twenty steel plants since 2000. Furthermore, we recently took the lead in developing small and medium-sized aluminum-magnesium spinel castables which were recognized in May 1995 by the Henan Science and Technology Committee as “key new products” of the State. Refractories, our wholly owned subsidiary, was granted the AAA credit rating by the Zhengzhou Enterprise Creditworthiness Evaluation Committee ("the Committee") in Henan Province in December of 2008.

We have distinguished ourselves through our excellent customer service team that provides a full-range of refractory services, including refractory construction and on-site maintenance and technical support. Our national registered laboratory with its excellent research team is available to meet our customer’s diverse product requirements in a timely manner based on the differences of construction sites. Our products are largely marketed based on our comparatively more efficient operations, our price differential and our quality of service. We have also made ourselves more competitive through competitive pricing.

Our largest customers, measured by percentage of our revenue, operate in the steel industry. The steel industry is characterized by intense price competition, which results in a continuing emphasis on our need to increase product productivity and performance. We are generally able to keep our prices lower than those of our competitors because we have contracted a supplier who provides high quality products at relatively lower prices. Our strategy has been to fulfill the steel industry’s need by developing technologically advanced refractory products to help our customers increase their productivity. We believe that the trend towards even greater productivity in the highly competitive steel industry will continue to provide a growing opportunity for our products, especially monolithic refractories.

As a result of the foregoing factors, we are in a more advantageous position than our major competitors Puyang Refractories Co., Ltd., Wuhan Ruisheng Specialty Refractory Materials Co., Ltd., and Beijing Lier Refractories Co., Ltd., all of whom offer less service and product choices but with similar prices to ours. We are confident that we will continue to be competitive based on our diverse product offerings, comprehensive maintenance services and better prices.

Fracture Proppants

We first produced fracture proppant products in December 2006, through our direct, wholly-owned BVI subsidiary, Smarthigh, and its direct and wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary, Duesail. Our products have passed the testing conducted by the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association (CPCIA), which strengthens our competitiveness in the market compared to our competitors. We have to be certified to be tier-1 fracture proppant provider for China's National Petroleum Company (CNPC), China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) and China National Offshore Oil Corp. (CNOOC), who monopolize the oil and gas drilling business in China, and we are the sole signed provider for China National Offshore Oil Corp. (CNOOC). Our main competitors for the production of fracture proppants are Carbo Ceramics Inc. and Saint-Gobain Proppants (Guanghan) Co., Ltd, while the two companies are both subsidiaries of international magnates, which focus on international sales. Besides, we doubled our production capacity in April 2009, to enlarge the production capacity to 66,000 tons from 33,000 tons, and the new Revolving Kiln technology in the second production line can shorten the production cycle and save energy cost to be more efficient. After completion of the second production line, we can now provide wide range of products, sizing from 52M Pa 69M Pa to 86M Pa and 102M Pa.

Fine Precision Abrasives

We finished construction of facility and started trial production for fine precision abrasives in July 2009, and commercially launched the abrasives products through our direct, wholly-owned BVI subsidiary, Smarthigh, and its direct and wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary, Micronized. Our fine precision abrasives facility is designed to have capacity of 22,000 tons per year, which is one of the leading domestic providers in the micro-powder market. From the trial use feedback we got from potential customers, our products are qualified for used in wire slicing of solar ingots for solar cell makers to make wafers and polishing surface of solar panels or high-precision instruments. Currently the fine precision abrasives market in China is controlled by two Japanese companies, namely Nanxing and FUJIMI. We source our key raw material, green silicon carbide (SiC) from a mine in Xinjiang province to ensure we get the most highly purified material to provide high quality products. Our new patented production technology, differentiates the company from other domestic competitors, in fractionating the abrasives in water, to provide products that have higher purity and more accuracy in sorting out different sizes. Our combined cost advantage and patented technology help us to be well positioned to become the market leader in the market.

Overall, we believe that our competitive strengths include the following:

• Market Position. We believe that we hold a competitive position in the monolithic refractory marketplace. According to a Chinese steel industry publication, during 2009, total national sales of refractories were approximately $15 billion, 70% of which were from refractories applied in steel making, of which 30-35% are monolithic refractories. Based on our sales of monolithic refractories during fiscal 2009, which was approximately $47.8 million, we believe that our market share for monolithic refractories applied in steel making is approximately 1.5%. Our industry is highly competitive and consists of more than 2,000 manufacturers. However, we believe that our market share of 1.5%, as well as our well recognized “Gengsheng” brand and leading position in research and development place us in a strong competitive position in the monolithic refractory marketplace. Our position affords us a broad customer base, superior recognition of the “GengSheng” brand, procurement leverage and pricing advantages with our suppliers, flexible manufacturing capabilities and easily accessed distribution channels. These capabilities and distribution channels enable us to introduce new refractory products and product categories to our customer base efficiently and cost effectively.

• Broad Product Offering. Our refractory product segment offers over 25 product categories that can be tailored to a wide range of customers’ specifications for use in the iron and steel manufacturing industries, in industrial furnaces, and in other heavy machinery. Our broad product offerings allow us to offer our customers a single source for many of their refractory product requirements.

• Diversified End Markets/Customer Base. We sell our refractory products in over 25 provinces in China and 11 overseas countries. In the 2009 fiscal year, for the refractories segment, we had 200 customers, none of which accounted for more than 20% of 2009 net sales. One customer, Shandong Steel Co., Ltd, Rizhao Subsidiary accounted for 14.2% of 2009 net sales. We believe that our broad product line and diverse target markets and customer base have contributed to greater stability in our sales and operating profit margin. We have long term relationships with significant steel and iron industry leaders in China, such as Bao Steel, Anshan Steel and Shandong Steel.

• Experienced Management Team. Our senior management team has, on average, over 20 years of experience in the refractory industry and with the company.

• Access to Raw Materials. We are located in Gongyi, Henan Province, an area of China which has an abundant reserve of bauxite and other key raw materials used in refractory manufacturing. We have diversified our access to raw materials by acquiring the Guizhou, a subsidiary of our wholly own subsidiary Refractories to secure and stabilize the supply and the prices of raw materials. We also entered into deep cooperation with a raw material, green silicon carbide provider in Xinjiang, to give us priority purchase right.

• Research and Development Capabilities. We utilize our research and development capabilities to supply our customers with cutting edge refractory products designed to meet their specific demands. To ensure the highest quality product developments, we established a modern, state-of-the-art laboratory in China dedicated to quality control and testing.

• Maintenance Service Capabilities. The sale price of our refractory products also includes installation and ongoing maintenance services, which we believe can be developed into a high margin business if our products continue to be reliable and do not require extraordinary servicing other than ordinary maintenance. We dedicate over 300 employees to the installation and service of our products. We believe that this service offering solidifies a positive business relationship with our customers and makes our products more attractive to them.

Our Customers

We have over 200 customers in 25 Chinese provinces, as well as in greater Asia, North America and Europe. Our customers include some of the largest steel and iron producers and petroleum & chemical producers in China and elsewhere. During each of fiscal years 2009 and 2008, only one of our customers, Shandong Steel Co., Ltd, Rizhao Subsidiary, represented 10% or more of our consolidated sales. Our sales to Shandong Steel Co., Ltd, Rizhao Subsidiary amounted to 14.2% or $8.1 million of our revenues for 2009 and 17.5%, or $8.7 million of our revenues for 2008.

During the fiscal year of 2009, our top ten customers among our segmental lines, which are listed below, accounted for approximately 53.9% of our consolidated revenues.

Our Suppliers of Raw Materials

The principal raw materials used in our refractory products and fracture proppants are various forms of aluminum oxide, including bauxite, corundum, processed AI203, magnesia, calcium aluminates cement, resin, and silica. Bauxite is used in the production of refractory materials, fracture proppants and some industrial ceramic products. Bauxite is abundantly available from mines nearby our manufacturing facilities. We purchase a significant portion of our magnesia requirements from sources in Liaoning province. We strive to source raw materials from geographically proximate suppliers as higher shipping costs increase the cost of raw materials when they are bought from other regions. If we experience supply interruptions of our refractory raw material requirements, we believe that we could obtain adequate supplies from alternate sources in local areas or elsewhere in China at reasonable costs. The costs of some of our raw materials from 2008 to 2009 are as follows:

(State in US dollar)
	2009	2008	% Change

Ordinary bauxite	61.15	58.23	5.0%
Refined bauxite	249.79	223.41	11.8%
Middle class magnesia	176.18	181.82	-3.1%
High class magnesia	213.52	262.56	-18.7%
Silica	308.21	297.18	3.7%
Calcium aluminates cement	799.48	750.00	6.6%
Processed aluminum oxide	626.10	721.14	-13.2%
Brown fused corundum	506.85	509.71	-0.6%
White fused corundum	676.58	816.72	-17.2%

We typically have supplier agreements with terms of one to two years that do not impose minimum purchase requirements. The cost of raw materials purchased during the term of a supplier agreement usually is the market price for the raw materials at the time of purchase. Our centralized procurement department makes an ongoing effort to reduce and contain raw material costs. We generally do not engage in speculative raw material commodity contracts and attempt to reflect raw material price changes in the sale price of our products. Our ability to achieve anticipated operating results depends in part on having an adequate supply of raw materials for our manufacturing operations. We will share the cost of any increase in the price of raw materials with customers if and when such prices increase.

Our Sales and Marketing

Our sales and marketing group is comprised of over 100 employees who focus on managing specific product lines across several distribution channels. Our marketing process involves an integrated process of screening sales leads, preparing bid documents (in response to customer requests for a proposal, or RFP), making competitive bids and negotiating and executing definitive sales agreements.

To maximize the accessibility of our product offerings to a diverse group of end users, we market our products through a variety of distribution channels. We have separate sales and marketing groups that work directly with our customers in each of our target markets. Marketing and sales are accomplished through the mailing of brochures, industry trade advertising, trade show exhibitions, website applications and sales presentations.

Our Growth Strategy

We are committed to growing our business in the coming years. The key elements of our growth strategy are summarized below:

• Adjust Cost Structure Through Operating Efficiency and Productivity Improvements. We regularly evaluate our operating productivity and efficiency and focus on decreasing our manufacturing and distribution costs. We have planned to advance internal capacity for new refractory products and new product development while continuing to enhance our order completing capabilities throughout our supply chain. We believe that these initiatives will provide significant costs savings and improve operating profits.

• Expand Product Lines and Specialty Product Lines. We are actively seeking to identify, develop and commercialize new products that use our core technology and manufacturing competencies. In particular, we intend to develop a variety of specialty, high margin mineral-based products, including fracture proppant and fine precision abrasive.

• Pursue Sales Opportunities in Existing and New Markets. We believe that we have significant opportunities to grow our business by increasing our penetration within our existing customer base, adding new customers, expanding our already broad refractory product offering, and pursuing additional marketing channels for other segmental line products. In addition to continuing to target leading steel and iron manufacturers and become their single source provider of refractory products, we have been receiving contracts with major oil & chemical manufacturers in China which has started to exploit further prosperity for our proppant products.

• Selectively Pursue Strategic Acquisitions. As a strong competitor in our core refractory manufacturing market, we believe that we are well-positioned to benefit from the consolidation of manufacturers in these markets. We also believe that our management has the ability to identify and integrate strategic acquisitions. We will continue to selectively consider acquisitions that will improve our market position within our existing target markets, expand our product offerings or end markets, or increase our manufacturing efficiency.

• Expand International Operations. We have alternatively expanded the operations to our potential oversea market for leveraging resources from our existing operations to increase our presence and our sales efforts in countries outside of China. We have started to receive supply contract from 11 other countries in Asia, Europe and North America. We expect seeing more export volumes in the future.

Regulation

Because our operations are based in China, we are regulated by the national and local laws of the People’s Republic of China. The refractory materials industry is generally subject to state, local laws and regulations relating to the environment, health, and safety. The operation of refractory materials involves the release of powder and dust which are classified as environmental pollutants under applicable government laws and regulations. We regularly monitor and review our operations, procedures, and policies for compliance with these laws and regulations. We have made substantial capital investments in our facilities to ensure compliance with environmental and regulatory laws. We believe that our operations are in substantial compliance with the laws and regulations and that there are no violations that would have a material effect on us. The cost of compliance with these laws and regulations is not expected to have a large financial impact on our operations.

There is no private ownership of land in China. All land ownership is held by the government of the PRC, its agencies and collectives. Land use rights can be obtained from the government for a period up to 50 years, and are typically renewable. Land use rights can be transferred upon approval by the land administrative authorities of the Chinese State Land Administration Bureau upon payment of the required land transfer fee. We have received the necessary land use right certificates for our primary operating facility which are located at No. 88 Gengsheng Road, Dayugou Town, Gongyi, Henan Province.

In addition, we are also subject to PRC’s foreign currency regulations. The PRC government has control over Renminbi reserves through, among other things, direct regulation of the conversion or Renminbi into other foreign currencies. Although foreign currencies which are required for “current account” transactions can be bought freely at authorized Chinese banks, the proper procedural requirements prescribed by Chinese law must be met. At the same time, Chinese companies are also required to sell their foreign exchange earnings to authorized Chinese banks and the purchase of foreign currencies for capital account transactions still requires prior approval of the Chinese government.

We do not face any significant government regulation of in connection with the production of our products. We do not require any special government permits to produce our products other than those permits that are required of all corporations in China.

Our Intellectual Property

While we consider our patents and trademarks to be valuable assets, we do not consider any single patent or trademark to be of such material importance that its absence would harm or cause a material disruption of our business. We also consider the production of our refractories to involve proprietary know-how, and we adjust and test the specific composition formulas to ensure optimal product performance.

Trademark	Registered Number	Termination Date	Use

	560614	August 9, 2011	Used for products with high-carbon black lead catalogued as class number 1
	561260	August 9, 2011	Used for refractories catalogued as class number 19

Our Research and Development

We believe that the development of new products and new technology is critical to our success. We are continuously working to improve the quality, efficiency and cost-effectiveness of our existing products and develop technology to expand the range of specifications of our products.

We have spent $478,422 and $308,431 on Company-sponsored research and development activities in fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively. The expenses on research and development include salary, cost of raw material consumed, testing expenses and other costs incurred for research and development of potential new products. We have not spent any money on customer-sponsored research and development activities.

Litigation

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. We are currently not a party to any legal proceeding and are not aware of any legal claims that we believe will have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Our Employees

As of December 31, 2009, we had approximately 1,400 employees, all of whom are all salaried employees and members of a labor union. Over 25% of our employees hold a bachelor’s degree, and approximately 1% of our employees hold a master’s degree. We actively recruit our employees from the local market and expect to focus our recruiting efforts on bachelor degree candidates in the fields of material science, refractory materials and marketing as we implement our expansion plans. We have implemented a comprehensive training program for our employees that focus not just on skills and knowledge training for their specific duties, but also on our corporate philosophy and our product concepts.

Our employees participate in a mandated state pension scheme and social insurance programs organized by Chinese municipal and provincial governments which cover pensions, unemployment and injury insurance. We are required to contribute to the scheme at a rate of 20% of the average monthly salary for employee pensions, 2% of the average monthly salary for the state unemployment fund and 1% of the monthly average salary for injury insurance. Our compensation expenses related to this scheme were $356,076 and $336,157 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Our Chinese subsidiaries have trade unions which protect employees’ rights, aim to assist in the fulfillment of our economic objectives, encourage employee participation in management decisions and assist in mediating disputes between us and union members. We believe that we maintain a satisfactory working relationship with our employees and we have not experienced any significant labor disputes or any difficulty in recruiting staff for our operations.

China enacted a new Labor Contract Law, which became effective on January 1, 2008. We have updated our employment contracts and employee handbook and been in compliance with the new law. We will work with the employees and the labor union to ensure that the employees obtain the full benefit of the law. We do not anticipate that changes in the law will materially impact the Company balance sheet.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of other companies in the same industry, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

The slow recovery of the global economic crisis could affect the overall availability and cost of external financing for our operation.

The slow recovery of the global financial markets from the global economic crisis and turmoil may adversely impact our business, the business and financial condition of our customers and the business of potential investors from whom we expect to generate our potential sources of capital financing. Presently it is unclear to what extent the economic stimulus measures and other actions taken or contemplated by the Chinese governments and other governments throughout the world will mitigate the effects of the negative impact caused by the economic turmoil on our industry and other industries that affect our business. Although these conditions have not presently impaired our ability to access credit markets and finance our operations, the impact of the current crisis on our ability to obtain capital financing in the future, and the cost and terms of same, is unclear.

A downturn or negative changes in the highly volatile steel and iron industry will harm our business and profitability.

The iron and steel industries accounted for approximately 60%-70% of the consumption in the Chinese refractory industry according to the industry association statistics. Because our largest customers are in the steel industry, our business performance is closely tied to the performance of the steel industry. The sector as a whole is cyclical and its profitability can be volatile as a result of general economic conditions, labor costs, competition, import duties, tariffs and currency exchange rates. These macroeconomic factors have historically 12 resulted in wide fluctuations in the Chinese and the global economies in which steel companies sell their products. In our case, future economic downturns, stagnant economies or currency fluctuations in China or globally could decrease the demand for steel products both in China and overseas and, in turn, could negatively impact our sales, margins and profits.

Industry growth rate for refractory products may decelerate and may affect our future revenue growth.

In China, the production of refractory materials has experienced fast growth in recent years driven largely by growth in China’s steel production. China has become the largest country for producing and consuming refractories, among which 60%-70% were demanded by companies in the steel industry. Our industry’s growth has been primarily driven by the growth in the Chinese steel industry. According to figures provided by the National Statistics Bureau of China, the Chinese steel output grew from an annual output of 157 million tons in 2001 to 568 million tons in 2009, representing a compounded average growth rate of 17.4%. Going forward, however, the forecast provided by the China International Capital Corporation suggests that the annual output of steel in China will not maintain this growth rate.

If the steel industry experiences such a slowdown, our growth prospects will likewise be curtailed. Additionally, the market for monolithic refractories in China is still in the developmental stage, and successful market penetration of the monolithic refractories depends heavily on two factors. First, successful market penetration depends on technological progress that results in products that provide better performance by our customers, new varieties of products that meet our customer’s future requirements, and more efficient and effective installation and maintenance methods. Second, successful market penetration also depends on our marketing strategy and our ability to execute that strategy while maintaining a high quality of service to our customers. Our future revenue growth—without acquisitions—may maintain growth, but nevertheless, we may not match our past growth rate.

Our inability to overcome fierce competition in the highly fragmented and highly competitive Chinese refractory market could reduce our revenue and net income.

The refractory market in China is highly fragmented with over 2,000 producers of refractory products, according to the Chairman of the Association of China Refractory Industry. Our competitors manufacture products that are similar to and directly compete with the products that we manufacture and market. We compete with many other refractory manufacturers in China, on a region-by-region basis, and with international competitors on a world-wide basis. Our main competitors are located in China and include Puyang Punai High-temperature Materials Co., Ltd., Wuhan Ruisheng Specialty Refractory Materials Co., Ltd., Beijing Lirr Refractories Co., Ltd. and others. Currently, our primary international competitor is Mineral Technologies, Inc. in the United States.

As a market leader in the monolithic refractory marketplace in China, we can buy raw materials in large quantities allowing us to negotiate volume pricing that result in lower prices than what is offered to our smaller competitors. As our smaller competitors consolidate and grow larger, they may be able to negotiate similar volume pricing from raw material suppliers. Under that scenario, any cost advantage that we currently enjoy may be reduced or eliminated altogether. Although our smaller competitors may pay higher materials costs relative to our material costs, their operating and administrative costs may be lower than ours, which may allow our competitors to quote very competitive prices for their products and services. Their competitive prices may force us to lower our prices, and to sell products and services at a loss in order to maintain our market share. Currently, we have a policy for setting a pricing floor so that we do not sell products at a loss; however, we cannot assure that we can maintain this policy indefinitely. Thus, increased competition in our industry could reduce our revenue and net income.

Any decrease in the availability, or increase in the cost, of raw materials and energy could materially increase our costs and jeopardize our current profit margins and profitability.

The principal raw materials used in our refractory products are several forms of the minerals SiO2, Al203, and MgO, including bauxite, mullite, corundum, processed Al203, Spinel, magnesia, calcium aluminates cement, and silica. We primarily use bauxite in the production of refractory materials, fracture proppants and some industrial ceramic products. The availability of these raw materials and energy resources may decrease and their prices can become volatile as a result of, among other things, changes in overall supply and demand levels and new laws or regulations. Our ability to achieve our sales target depends on our ability to maintain what we believe to be adequate inventories of raw materials to meet reasonably anticipated orders from our customers. In 2009, raw material costs accounted for 83. 4% of the production cost for refractory products, 51.8% for fracture proppant products and 60.8% for industrial ceramics products.

Our production facilities are located in Gongyi, Henan Province, where there is currently an abundant reserve of bauxite and corundum for refractory manufacturing. Although our proximity to bauxite allows us to benefit from a relatively short delivery time and lower shipping costs, we may experience supply shortages or price increases or both due to sharp increases in overall industry demand for bauxite. Besides purchasing bauxite from local suppliers, we also purchase bauxite, mullite, magnesia, calcium aluminates cement and other raw materials from suppliers in Shanxi Province, Shandong Province, Liaoning Province and Gansu Province. All of these locations are outside of Henan Province. Any increase in shipping costs will increase our cost of raw materials from these sources and will decrease our revenues and profitability.

Further, if our existing suppliers are unable or unwilling to deliver our raw materials requirements on time to meet our production schedules, we may be unable to produce certain products, which could result in a decrease in revenues and profitability, a loss of good will with our customers, and could tarnish our reputation as a reliable supplier in our industry. In the event that our raw material and energy costs increase, we may not be able to pass these higher costs on to our customers in full or at all due to contractual agreements or pricing pressures in the refractory market. Any increase in the prices for raw materials or energy resources could materially increase our costs and therefore lower our earnings and profitability.

Actions by the Chinese government could drive up our material costs and could have a negative impact on our profitability.

In the past years, the Chinese government has shut down some outdated mineral mines in China. These shutdowns have decreased the overall supply of raw materials needed to produce refractory products. As a result, the materials costs for our products have increased. If the Chinese government shuts down more mineral mines, we could experience further supply shortages and price increases that could have a negative impact on our profitability.

We may not be able to implement our business plan because we may be unable to both fund the substantial ongoing capital and maintenance expenditures that our operations require and invest in new projects at the same time.

Our operations are capital intensive and the nature of our business and our business strategy will require substantial additional working capital investment. We require capital for building new production lines, acquiring new equipment, maintaining the condition of our existing equipment and maintaining compliance with environmental laws and regulations, and to pursue new market opportunities. We may not be able to fund our capital expenditures from operating cash flow and from the proceeds of borrowings available for capital expenditures under our credit facilities, and we may require additional debt or equity financing. We cannot assure that this type of financing will be available or, if available, it may result in increased interest expenses, increased leverage and decreased income available to fund further expansion. In addition, future debt financings may limit our ability to withstand competitive pressures and render us more vulnerable to economic downtowns. If we are unable to fund our capital requirements, we may be unable to implement our business plan and our financial performance may be adversely impacted.

Approximately 53.9% of our sales revenues were derived from our ten largest customers, and any reduction in revenues from any of these customers would reduce our revenues and net income.

While we have over 200 active customers, approximately 53.9% of our sales revenue came from our top ten customers in 2009, with Shandong Steel Co., Ltd, Rizhao Subsidiary alone accounting for approximately 14.2% of our sales revenue in the same period. If we cease to do business at or above current levels with Shandong Steel Co., Ltd, Rizhao Subsidiary or any one of our other largest customers which contribute significantly to our sales revenues, and we are unable to generate additional sales revenues with new and existing customers that purchase a similar amount of our products, then our revenues and net income would decline considerably.

A significant interruption or casualty loss at any of our facilities could increase our production costs and reduce our sales and earnings.

Our manufacturing process requires large industrial facilities for crushing, smashing, batching, molding and baking raw materials. After the refractory products come off the production line, we need additional facilities to inspect, package, and store the finished goods. Our facilities may experience interruptions or major accidents and may be subject to unplanned events such as explosions, fires, inclement weather, acts of God, terrorism, accidents and transportation interruptions. Any shutdown or interruption of any facility would reduce the output from that facility, which could substantially impair our ability to meet sales targets. Interruptions in production capabilities will inevitably increase production costs and reduce our sales and earnings. In addition to the revenue losses, longer-term business disruption could result in the loss of goodwill with our customers. To the extent these events are not covered by insurance, our revenues, margins and cash flows may be adversely impacted by events of this type.

Environmental regulations impose substantial costs and limitations on our operations.

Our products are not considered environmentally hazardous materials, however, the dust produced during our production process is considered hazardous to the environment. We have environmental liability risks and limitations on operations brought about by the requirements of environmental laws and regulations. We are subject to various national and local environmental laws and regulations concerning issues such as air emissions, wastewater discharges, and solid and hazardous waste management and disposal. These laws and regulations are becoming increasingly stringent. While we believe that our facilities are in material compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, the risks of substantial unanticipated costs and liabilities related to compliance with these laws and regulations are an inherent part of our business. It is possible that future conditions may develop, arise or be discovered that create new environmental compliance or remediation liabilities and costs. While we believe that we can comply with environmental legislation and regulatory requirements and that the costs of compliance have been included within budgeted cost estimates, compliance may prove to be more limiting and costly than anticipated.

Climate change and related regulatory responses may impact our business.

Climate change as a result of emissions of greenhouse gases is a significant topic of discussion and may generate U.S. federal and other regulatory responses in the near future, including the imposition of a so-called “cap and trade” system. It is impracticable to predict with any certainty the impact of climate change on our business or the regulatory responses to it, although we recognize that they could be significant. The most direct impact is likely to be an increase in energy costs, which would increase slightly our operating costs, primarily through increased utility and transportations costs. In addition, many of our customers operate in the manufacturing industry. Any restrictions or penalties imposed under a cap and trade system might significantly impact their operations, which in turn, would adversely affect their demand for our products. However, it is too soon for us to predict with any certainty the ultimate impact, either directionally or quantitatively, of climate change and related regulatory responses.

If our customers and/or the ultimate consumers of products which use our products successfully assert product liability claims against us due to defects in our products, our operating results may suffer and our reputation may be harmed.

Our products are widely used as protective linings in industrial furnaces operating in highly hazardous environments because those furnaces must operate under extremely high temperatures in order to produce iron, steel and other industrial products. Significant property damage, personal injuries and even death can result from the malfunctioning of high temperature furnaces as a result of defects in our refractory products. The costs and resources needed to defend product liability claims could be substantial. We could be responsible for paying some or all of the damages if found liable. We do not have product liability insurance. The publicity surrounding these sorts of claims is also likely damage our reputation, regardless of whether such claims are successful. Any of these consequences resulting from defects in our products would hurt our operating results and stockholder value.

If we are not able to adequately secure and protect our patent, trademark and other proprietary rights our business may be materially affected.

We hold patents for (a) an integral casting technology in mixer furnaces (which expires on December 29, 2020), (b) a light-slag heat-retaining refractory castables in high-furnaces clinders (which expires on December 27, 2025), (c) a ceramic sealing double-gate valve (which expires on January 24, 2015), (d) a direct-fired gas generator (which expires on May 23, 2015) (e) a Ceramic plunger in pumps (which expires on January 24, 2015), (f) a ceramic cylinder in slurry pumps (which expires on July 25, 2018) , (g) a Ceramic plunger pump (which expires on July 21, 2018) , (h) a ceramic lining in abrasion-resistance tubes (which expires on July 21, 2018) and (i) an oversized particles removal method (which expires on October 30, 2021). We also rely on non-disclosure agreements and other confidentiality procedures to protect our intellectual property rights in various jurisdictions. These technologies are very important to our business and it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy or reverse engineer our products, or otherwise obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Furthermore, third parties could challenge the scope or enforceability of our patents. In certain foreign countries, including China where we operate, the laws do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Decided court cases in China’s civil law system do not have binding legal effect on future decisions and even where adequate law exists in China, enforcement based on existing law may be uncertain and sporadic and it may be difficult to obtain enforcement of a judgment by a court of another jurisdiction. In addition, the relative inexperience of China’s judiciary in many cases creates additional uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation, and interpretation of statutes and regulations may be subject to government policies reflecting domestic political changes. Any misappropriation of our intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations, and we cannot assure you that the measures we take to protect our proprietary rights are adequate.

Expansion of our business may pull our management and operational infrastructure and impede our ability to meet any increased demand for our products.

Our business plan is to significantly grow our operations by meeting the anticipated growth in demand for existing products and by introducing new product offerings. Growth in our business may place a significant strain on our personnel, management, financial systems and other resources. Our business growth also presents numerous risks and challenges, including:

Our ability to successfully and rapidly expand sales to potential customers in response to potentially increasing demand;
The costs associated with such growth, which are difficult to quantify, but could be significant; and
The costs associated with developing new products to keep pace with rapid technological changes.

To accommodate this growth and compete effectively, we may need to obtain additional funding to improve information systems, procedures and controls and expand, train, motivate and manage existing and additional employees. Funding may not be available in a sufficient amount or on favorable terms, if at all. If we are not able to manage these activities and implement these strategies successfully to expand to meet any increased demand, our operating results could suffer.

Improvements in the quality and lifespan of refractory products may decrease product turnover and our sales revenues.

Technological and manufacturing improvements have made refractory products more durable and more efficient. While making products more durable and more efficient is generally a positive development, the increased quality and durability of refractory products could lead to declining consumption and turnover of refractory products. With the growth rate in the steel industry decelerating and with the consumption rate of refractory products per metric ton of steel produced decreasing, the refractory industry’s future growth rate may decelerate. We can increase our prices to offset a decrease in product consumption, but we cannot assure that price increases will be acceptable to our customers.

Our new products are complex and may contain defects that are detected only after their release to our customers, which may cause us to incur significant unexpected expenses and lost sales.

Our products are highly complex and must operate at high temperatures for a long period of time. Although our new products are tested prior to release, they can only be fully tested when they are used by our customers. Consequently, our customers may discover defects after new products have been released. Although we have test procedures and quality control standards in place designed to minimize the number of defects in our products, we cannot guarantee that our new products will be completely free of defects when released. If we are unable to quickly and successfully correct the defects identified after their release, we could experience significant costs associated with compensating our customers for damages caused by our products, costs associated with correcting the defects, costs associated with design modifications, and costs associated with service or warranty claims or both. Additionally, we could lose customers, lose market share and suffer damage to our reputation.

Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.

We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should we decide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. In addition, our operating subsidiaries, from time to time, may be subject to restrictions on their ability to make distributions to us, including as a result of restrictive covenants in loan agreements, restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions as discussed below. If future dividends are paid in RMB, fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB into U.S. dollars may reduce the amount received by U.S. stockholders upon conversion of the dividend payment into U.S. dollars.

Chinese regulations currently permit the payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits as determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. Our subsidiaries in China are also required to set aside a portion of their after-tax profits according to Chinese accounting standards and regulations to fund certain reserve funds. Currently, our subsidiaries in China are the only sources of revenues or investment holdings for the payment of dividends. If they do not accumulate sufficient profits under Chinese accounting standards and regulations to first fund certain reserve funds as required by Chinese accounting standards, we will be unable to pay any dividends.

We completed our new fine precisions production line in 2009 but it will not earn any revenue until 2010 and we cannot guarantee that we will earn the estimated revenues in the future or that it ultimately will be profitable.

We initiated the construction of our fine precisions line in 2008 and completed it in 2009. We entered into trial production in July 2009 and after making various technological adjustments and remolding, we shipped some test products for trial use by potential customers in November 2009 and received positive feedback from these potential customers. There can be no assurance that we will be able to rollout the production of our fine precisions line in an efficient and timely manner, ensure future revenues from sales will be significant, ensure any sales will be profitable or that we will have sufficient funds available to continue the manufacturing and marketing of these products. However, we do not expect our other operations to be materially affected by our failure to successfully market our new fine precisions products.

We may incur significant costs to ensure compliance with United States corporate governance and accounting requirements.

We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, our ability to accurately and timely report our financial results or prevent fraud may be adversely affected and investor confidence and the market price of our ordinary shares may be adversely impacted.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our independent auditors addressing these assessments. We are in the process of documenting and testing our internal control procedures, and we may identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and other deficiencies. If material weaknesses and deficiencies are detected, it could cause investors to lose confidence in our Company and result in a decline in our stock price and consequently affect our financial condition. In addition, if we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our Common Stock could drop significantly. In addition, we cannot be certain that additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls will not be discovered in the future.

We may have difficulty raising necessary capital to fund operations as a result of market price volatility for our shares of common stock.

In recent years, the securities markets in the United States have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations that have not necessarily been related to the operations, performances, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. For these reasons, our shares of common stock can also be expected to be subject to volatility resulting from purely market forces over which we will have no control. If our business development plans are successful, we may require additional financing to continue to develop and exploit existing and new products and services related to our industries and to expand into new markets. The exploitation of our services may, therefore, be dependent upon our ability to obtain financing through debt and equity or other means.

RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA

Chinese corporate income tax law could adversely affect our business and our net income.

China passed a new Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the New EIT Law, and its implementation regulations, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the New EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a “resident enterprise,” meaning that it can be treated in a manner similar to a Chinese domestic enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define de facto management as “substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. On April 22, 2009, the State Administration of Taxation issued the Notice Concerning Relevant Issues Regarding Cognizance of Chinese Investment Controlled Enterprises Incorporated Offshore as Resident Enterprises pursuant to Criteria of de facto Management Bodies, or the Notice, further interpreting the application of the New EIT Law and its implementation with respect to non-Chinese enterprises or group controlled offshore entities. Pursuant to the Notice, an enterprise incorporated in an offshore jurisdiction and controlled by a Chinese enterprise or group will be classified as a “non-domestically incorporated resident enterprise” if (i) its senior management in charge of daily operations reside or perform their duties mainly in China; (ii) its financial or personnel decisions are made or approved by bodies or persons in China; (iii) substantial assets and properties, accounting books, corporate chops, board and shareholder minutes are kept in China; and (iv) at least half of its directors with voting rights or senior management often resident in China. A resident enterprise would be generally subject to the uniform 25% enterprise income tax rate as to its worldwide income. Although the Notice is directly applicable to enterprises registered in an offshore jurisdiction and controlled by Chinese domestic enterprises or groups, it is uncertain whether the PRC tax authorities will make reference to the Notice when determining the resident status of other offshore companies, such as China GengSheng Minerals, Inc., Gengsheng International Corporation and Smarthigh Holding Limited. Since substantially all of our management is currently based in China, it is likely we may be treated as a Chinese resident enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. The tax consequences of such treatment are currently unclear, as they will depend on how local tax authorities apply or enforce the New EIT Law or the implementation regulations.

In addition, under the New EIT Law and implementation regulations, PRC income tax at the rate of 10% is applicable to dividends payable to investors that are “non-resident enterprises” (and that do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC, or that have such establishment or place of business but the relevant income is not effectively connected with the establishment or place of business) to the extent that such dividends have their source within the PRC unless there is an applicable tax treaty between the PRC and the jurisdiction in which an overseas holder resides which reduces or exempts the relevant tax. Similarly, any gain realized on the transfer of shares by such investors is also subject to the 10% PRC income tax if such gain is regarded as income derived from sources within the PRC.

If we are considered a PRC “resident enterprise”, it is unclear whether the dividends we pay with respect to our shares, or the gain you may realize from the transfer of our shares, would be treated as income derived from sources within the PRC and be subject to PRC tax. If we are required under the New EIT Law to withhold PRC income tax on our dividends payable to our foreign shareholders, or if you are required to pay PRC income tax on the transfer of your shares, the value of your investment in our shares may be materially and adversely affected.

Future inflation in China may inhibit our ability to conduct business in China.

In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and highly fluctuating rates of inflation. During the past ten years, the rate of inflation in China has been as high as 20.7% and as low as -2.2%. These factors have led to the adoption by the Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation. High inflation may in the future cause the Chinese government to impose controls on credit or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic activity in China, and thereby harm the market for our products and our company.

Our business is largely subject to the uncertain legal environment in China and our legal protection could be limited.

The Chinese legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which precedents set in earlier legal cases are not generally used. The overall effect of legislation enacted over the past 20 years has been to enhance the legal protections afforded to foreign-invested enterprises in China. However, these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively recent and are evolving rapidly, and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to foreign investors, such as the right of foreign-invested enterprises to hold licenses and permits such as requisite business licenses. In addition, all of our executive officers and our directors are residents of China and not of the U.S., and substantially all the assets of these persons are located outside the U.S. As a result, it could be difficult for investors to effect service of process in the U.S., or to enforce a judgment obtained in the U.S. against our Chinese operations and subsidiaries.

The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities.

China only recently has permitted provincial and local economic autonomy and private economic activities. The Chinese government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. We believe that our operations in China are in material compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. However, the central or local governments of the jurisdictions in which we operate may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations.

Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties or joint ventures.

Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenues effectively.

The majority of our revenues are settled in Renminbi, or RMB. Any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use revenue generated in RMB to fund any future business activities outside of China or to make dividend or other payments in U.S. dollars. Although the Chinese government introduced regulations in 1996 to allow greater convertibility of the RMB for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain, including primarily the restriction that foreign-invested enterprises may only buy, sell or remit foreign currencies after providing valid commercial documents at those banks in China authorized to conduct foreign exchange business. In addition, conversion of RMB for capital account items, including direct investment and loans, is subject to governmental approval in China, and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items. We cannot be certain that the Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose more stringent restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB.

Failure to comply with PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident stockholders to personal liability, limit our ability to acquire PRC companies or to inject capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute profits to us or otherwise materially adversely affect us.

In October 2005, the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, issued the Notice on Relevant Issues in the Foreign Exchange Control over Financing and Return Investment Through Special Purpose Companies by Residents Inside China, generally referred to as Circular 75, which required PRC residents to register with the competent local SAFE branch before establishing or acquiring control over an offshore special purpose company, or SPV, for the purpose of engaging in an equity financing outside of China on the strength of domestic PRC assets originally held by those residents. Internal implementing guidelines issued by SAFE, which became public in June 2007 (known as Notice 106), expanded the reach of Circular 75 by purporting to cover the establishment or acquisition of control by PRC residents of offshore entities which merely acquire “control” over domestic companies or assets, even in the absence of legal ownership; adding requirements relating to the source of the PRC resident’s funds used to establish or acquire the offshore entity; covering the use of existing offshore entities for offshore financings; purporting to cover situations in which an offshore SPV establishes a new subsidiary in China or acquires an unrelated company or unrelated assets in China; and making the domestic affiliate of the SPV responsible for the accuracy of certain documents which must be filed in connection with any such registration, notably, the business plan which describes the overseas financing and the use of proceeds. Amendments to registrations made under Circular 75 are required in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, mergers and acquisitions, equity investment or creation of any security interest in any assets located in China to guarantee offshore obligations, and Notice 106 makes the offshore SPV jointly responsible for these filings. In the case of an SPV which was established, and which acquired a related domestic company or assets, before the implementation date of Circular 75, a retroactive SAFE registration was required to have been completed before March 31, 2006; this date was subsequently extended indefinitely by Notice 106, which also required that the registrant establish that all foreign exchange transactions undertaken by the SPV and its affiliates were in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Failure to comply with the requirements of Circular 75, as applied by SAFE in accordance with Notice 106, may result in fines and other penalties under PRC laws for evasion of applicable foreign exchange restrictions. Any such failure could also result in the SPV’s affiliates being impeded or prevented from distributing their profits and the proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation to the SPV, or from engaging in other transfers of funds into or out of China.

We believe our stockholders who are PRC residents as defined in Circular 75 have registered with the relevant branch of SAFE, as currently required, in connection with their equity interests in us and our acquisitions of equity interests in our PRC subsidiaries. However, we cannot provide any assurances that their existing registrations have fully complied with, and they have made all necessary amendments to their registration to fully comply with, all applicable registrations or approvals required by Circular 75. Moreover, because of uncertainty over how Circular 75 will be interpreted and implemented, and how or whether SAFE will apply it to us, we cannot predict how it will affect our business operations or future strategies. For example, our present and prospective PRC subsidiaries’ ability to conduct foreign exchange activities, such as the remittance of dividends and foreign currency-denominated borrowings, may be subject to compliance with Circular 75 by our PRC resident beneficial holders. In addition, such PRC residents may not always be able to complete the necessary registration procedures required by Circular 75. We also have little control over either our present or prospective direct or indirect stockholders or the outcome of such registration procedures. A failure by our PRC resident beneficial holders or future PRC resident stockholders to comply with Circular 75, if SAFE requires it, could subject these PRC resident beneficial holders to fines or legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions or pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects.

Changes in China's political or economic situation could harm us and our operating results.

Economic reforms adopted by the Chinese government have had a positive effect on the economic development of the country, but the government could change these economic reforms or any of the legal systems at any time. This could either benefit or damage our operations and profitability. Some of the things that could have this effect are:

Level of government involvement in the economy;
Control of foreign exchange;
Methods of allocating resources;
Balance of payments position;
International trade restrictions; and
International conflict.

The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD, in many ways. For example, state-owned enterprises still constitute a large portion of the Chinese economy and weak corporate governance and a lack of flexible currency exchange policy still prevail in China. As a result of these differences, we may not develop in the same way or at the same rate as might be expected if the Chinese economy was similar to those of the OECD member countries.

The value of our securities will be affected by the currency exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB.

The value of our common stock will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB, and between those currencies and other currencies in which our sales may be denominated. For example, if we need to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for our operational needs and the RMB appreciate against the U.S. dollar at that time, our financial position, our business, and the price of our common stock may be harmed. Conversely, if we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of declaring dividends on our common stock or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the RMB, the U.S. dollar equivalent of our earnings from our subsidiaries in China would be reduced.

Our procurement strategy is to diversify our suppliers both in the PRC and overseas. And some of our raw materials and major equipments are currently imported. These transactions are often settled in U.S. dollars or other foreign currency. In the event that the U.S. dollars or other foreign currency appreciate against RMB, our costs will increase. Our profitability and operating results will suffer if we cannot pass the resulted cost increase to our customers. In addition, because our sales to international customers are growing, we are subject to the risk of foreign currency depreciation.

A slowdown or other adverse developments in the Chinese economy may materially and adversely affect our customers’ demand for our products and services.

All of our operations are conducted in China and part of our revenues are generated from sales to businesses operating in China. Although the Chinese economy has grown significantly in recent years, such growth may not continue. We do not know how sensitive we are to a slowdown in economic growth or other adverse changes in Chinese economy which may affect demand for our products. A slowdown in overall economic growth, an economic downturn or recession or other adverse economic developments in China may materially reduce the demand for our services and in turn reduce our results of operations.

Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign corrupt practices act and Chinese anti-corruption laws could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

Our executive officers, employees and other agents may violate applicable law in connection with the marketing or sale of our products, including China’s anti-corruption laws and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. In addition, we are required to maintain records that accurately and fairly represent our transactions and have an adequate system of internal accounting controls. Foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, are not subject to these prohibitions, and therefore may have a competitive advantage over us. The PRC also strictly prohibits bribery of government officials. However, corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in the PRC.

While we intend to implement measures to ensure compliance with the FCPA and Chinese anti-corruption laws by all individuals involved with our company, our employees or other agents may engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our brand and reputation, our sales activities or the price of our ordinary shares could be adversely affected if we become the target of any negative publicity as a result of actions taken by our employees or other agents.

The implementation of the new PRC employment contract law and increases in the labor costs in China may hurt our business and profitability.

A new employment contract law became effective on January 1, 2008 in China. It imposes more stringent requirements on employers in relation to entry into fixed-term employment contracts, recruitment of temporary employees and dismissal of employees. In addition, under the newly promulgated Regulations on Paid Annual Leave for Employees, which also became effective on January 1, 2008, employees who have worked continuously for more than one year are entitled to paid vacation ranging from 5 to 15 days, depending on the length of the employee’s service. Employees who waive such vacation entitlements at the request of the employer will be compensated for three times their normal daily salaries for each vacation day so waived. As a result of the new law and regulations, our labor costs may increase. There is no assurance that disputes, work stoppages or strikes will not arise in the future. Increases in the labor costs or future disputes with our employees could damage our business, financial condition or operating results.

RISKS RELATED TO THE MARKET FOR OUR STOCK

As our common stock is thinly traded, the stock price may be volatile and investors may have difficulty disposing of their investments at prevailing market prices.

On March 4, 2010, our common stock began trading on the NYSE Amex stock exchange (formerly the American Stock Exchange) under the symbol “CHGS”. Prior to March 4, our common stock traded over-the-counter under the symbol CHGS.OB. Despite the new listing on the larger stock exchange, our common stock remains thinly and sporadically traded and no assurances can be given that a larger market will ever develop, or if developed, that it will be maintained.

Our Common Stock is subject to price volatility unrelated to our operations.

Our President and CEO holds a significant percentage of our outstanding voting securities.

As of December 31, 2009, Mr. Shunqing Zhang, our President and CEO, was the beneficial owner of approximately 68.9% of our outstanding voting securities. As a result, he possessed significant influence, giving him the ability to elect a majority of our board of directors and to authorize or prevent significant corporate transactions. His ownership and control may impede or delay any future change in control through merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combinations and may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer.

Certain provisions of our articles of incorporation may make it more difficult for a third party to effect a change-in-control.

Our articles of incorporation authorize the Board of Directors to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the board of directors without further action by the stockholders. These terms may include voting rights including the right to vote as a series on particular matters, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights and redemption rights provisions. The issuance of any preferred stock could diminish the rights of holders of our common stock, and therefore could reduce the value of such common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with, or sell assets to, a third party. The ability of the board of directors to issue preferred stock could make it more difficult, delay, discourage, prevent or make it more costly to acquire or effect a change-in-control, which in turn could prevent the stockholders from recognizing a gain in the event that a favorable offer is extended and could materially and negatively affect the market price of our common stock.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

All land in China is owned by the State. Individuals and companies are permitted to acquire rights to use land or land use rights for specific purposes. In the case of land used for industrial purposes, the land use rights are granted for a period of up to 50 years. This period may be renewed at the expiration of the initial and any subsequent terms. Granted land use rights are transferable and may be used as security for borrowings and other obligations.

We have obtained the right from the relevant governmental authority for periods ranging from 39 to 50 years to use the land on which our facilities are located. We currently have about 27 manufacturing facilities located on five manufacturing sites in China. In our Refractories subsidiary in Gongyi City, Henan Province, we have offices and workshops that total approximately 316,663 square feet. In our High-Temperature subsidiary in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, we have offices and workshops that total approximately 115,777 square feet. In our Duesail subsidiary in Gongyi City, Henan Province, we have offices and workshops that total approximately 401,449 square feet. In April 2009, we finished constructing our production line for fine precision abrasives, with 22,000 tons of designed annual capacity, and we have offices and workshops that total approximately 739,114 square feet in the Micronized subsidiary.

We believe that our facilities, which are of varying ages and are of different construction types, have been satisfactorily maintained. They are in good conditions and are suitable for our operations and generally provide sufficient capacity to meet our production and operational requirements.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

Overview

We are a Nevada holding company that operates through our direct and indirect subsidiaries. Through our direct, wholly-owned BVI subsidiary, Smarthigh, and its direct and wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary, Refractories, and its direct majority-owned Chinese subsidiary, Shunda, and High-Temperature, we manufacture monolithic refractory products and industrial ceramic products in China. Through our direct, wholly-owned BVI subsidiary, Smarthigh, and its direct and wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary, Duesail, we manufacture fracture proppant products. Through Micronized, wholly-owned subsidiary of Refractories, we manufacture fine precisions.

We have four primary business segments: refractories, industrial ceramics, fracture proppants and fine precision abrasives. Refractories product is a nonmetallic material that is used in heavy industrial processes in which extremely high temperatures are present, and the main customers for the segment are steel makers. Our industrial 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. 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. The newly introduced segment, fine 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. The company finished construction for the fine precision abrasives facility in April 2009, and entered into trial production in late July 2009. In fiscal year 2009, the refractories segment accounted for $47.8 million or 84.0%, of our total revenue of $57.0 million, industrial ceramics accounted for approximately $1.1 million or 1.9% of the total revenue and fracture proppants contributed $8.0 million or 14.1% of our total revenue.

We sell our products to over 200 customers in the iron, steel, oil, glass, cement, aluminum and chemical businesses located in China and 11 other countries in Asia, Europe and North America. Our refractory customers are companies in the steel, iron, petroleum, chemical, coal, glass and mining industries. 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 fine precision abrasives target solar companies and optical equipment manufacturers in the early stage of product manufacturing. Our largest customers, measured by 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. We expect significant revenue growth from fracture proppants, and from fine precision abrasives in 2010.

The following table provides a percentage breakdown for our regional sales in China as of December 31, 2009:

Region	Proportion
East China	42.2%

Central China	11.9%

Highlights of Business Operations in 2009

During the fiscal year of 2009, our company maintained a steady growth, although we faced significant challenge from both the refractory and fracture proppant markets as the global economic slowdown continued. From the beginning of 2009, the PRC central government has labeled the steel sector in China an overcapacity-burdened industry and the government is resolved to cut back the industry's excessive capacity. Since then some small and mid-sized steel millers have been shut down, which decreased the demand of refractories. To face the changing market environment, we have adjusted our products offered to our customers, in order to provide more efficient and environmental friendly products. We have also focused our marketing efforts on premium customers. Our newly introduced monolithic refractories used in magnesium reduction furnaces grew significantly in 2009. Our newly secured full-service client, Shandong Steel Co. Ltd., Zhangdian subsidiary, will generate stable monthly revenue. Since the second quarter of 2009, the demand for fracture proppant from overseas customers has declined, however at the same time we have identified significant market potential for fracture proppant products in Northwest China, and we have rapidly gained market penetration domestically.

During the fiscal year of 2009, we also made efforts to extend the production lines. In April 2009, we finished building our second production line for fracture proppant segment, which applies the revolving kiln technology to shorten the production cycle and save energy cost, as well as provide us with a broader products offering. In July 2009, we finished construction of the fine precision abrasives segment and entered into trial production. By the end of December 2009, the segment was able to produce stable qualified products, and we had good sales in the beginning of 2010. To fully support the construction of those projects, we borrowed some short-term bank loans from domestic commercial banks, and we propose to pay back the loans through cash flow from normal operating activities.

In addition, we continued to enhance our research and development, and we established a new provincial government-supported R&D center. The Refractories subsidiary was designated as the National High & New Tech Enterprise (HNTE) by Henan Province. We have received several government grants to encourage our energy conservation and emission reduction project of the fracture proppant segment, for R&D related to the industrial ceramic segment and to support for construction within the fine precision abrasive segment.

The followings are some financial highlights for fiscal year 2009:

• Sales revenue increased by approximately $7.2 million, or approximately 14.5%, to approximately $57.0 million for the fiscal year of 2009 from approximately $49.8 million for the same period of 2008.

• Net income increased by approximately $1.6 million, or 38.3%, to approximately $5.6 million for the fiscal year of 2009 from $4.1 million for the same period of 2008.

• Our consolidated balance sheet for the fiscal year of 2009 included current assets of approximately $73.5 million and total assets of approximately $98.0 million.

Major Factors that Affect our Financial Condition in 2009

Industry Consolidation of Steel Millers

Although in China, the crude steel output in 2009 reached a new record of approximate 570 million metric tons, keeping a steady year to year growth rate of 13.5%, China's steel industry faces overcapacity and the global economic recession. In addition, the PRC government’s policy to make China’s steel industry more efficient and energy-saving will squeeze out small to mid-sized steel makers which may reduce the market’s demand towards refractories. To face the challenges, we will focus on providing low carbon, more efficient and environmental friendly monolithic refractories.

Considerable Increase of Raw Material Prices and Decreasing Gross Margin

During 2009, the inflation expectation and upstream pressure of higher prices for raw materials, fuel and utilities continued. In a relatively fragmented market, our products’ selling price did not increase in step with the increased price of the raw materials. Although we are less impacted by the soaring materials costs and slower sales growth than our competitors, our gross margin and net income were impacted by the continued economic distress around the world. We will continue to optimize our products offering to allocate the available resources more efficiently.

Declined Export Due to Decreasing Global Demand

Due to the global economic slowdown, our export volumes were substantially reduced, and the purchase prices from our international customers have been reduced, resulting in declining revenues and profits from exports in 2009.

Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2008

Sales revenues. Sales revenues increased by approximately $7.2 million, or 14.5%, to $57.0 million in 2009 from approximately $49.8 million in 2008. Our sales revenue at present is generated from sales of our mineral-based refractory products, primarily our refractory products, industrial ceramic products and fracture proppant products. The increase was mainly attributable to both our referactories segment and fracture proppant segment, with quantity sold both growing steadily.

In our refractory segment, we sold approximately 115,400 metric tons of refractory products in 2009 compared to 105,200 metric tons sold in 2008. The revenue from our refractory products increased to approximately $47.8 million in 2009 from approximately $43.1 million in 2008, with the average selling price increasing from $410 per metric ton in 2008 to $415 per metric ton in 2009. We increased our selling prices as a result of our increased cost of raw materials. Because of the fierce rivalry in the market, the selling price did not increase to a higher degree to keep pace with the increased price of raw materials.

In our fracture proppant segment, we sold approximately 23,700 metric tons of fracture proppant products in 2009, which grew by 69.2% compared with the 14,000 metric tons we sold in 2008. Revenue from fracture proppant products was approximately $8.0 million in 2009, which increased by 57.0% compared with approximately $5.1 million in 2008. Average selling price decreased to $340 per metric ton in 2008, compared with $365 per metric ton in 2008, mainly due to more low-grade fracture proppant products we sold in 2009. In 2009, we extended our production line, to achieve the capacity of 66,000 tons, which now produces a wider product offering, compared with 33,000 tons in 2008.

In our industrial ceramics segment, revenue was approximately $1.1 million in 2009 compared with approximately $1.5 million in 2008.

Cost of sales. Our cost of sales increased by approximately $6.9 million, or 20.5%, to approximately $40.7 million in 2009 from approximately $33.8 million in 2008. As a percentage of net revenues, the cost of goods sold increased by approximately 3.6% to 71.5% in 2009, from 67.9% in 2008. This increase was mainly attributable to the cost increase from refined bauxite, which amounted to about 24.3% of the total cost of sales. In 2009, the cost of refined bauxite was $9.9 million, which increased by $1.4 million or 16.4% compared to that of $8.5 million for the year 2008, mainly due to higher average purchase prices, which increased by 11.8% from $223 per metric ton in 2008 to $250 per metric ton in 2009. In 2009, the cost of sales for refractory, industrial ceramic and fracture proppant was approximately $34.5 million, $0.8 million and $5.4 million, respectively.

Gross profit. Our gross profit increased by approximately $0.3 million, or 1.6%, to approximately $16.2 million in 2009 from approximately $16.0 million in 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues decreased by 3.6% to 28.5% in 2009 as compared with 32.1% in 2008, mainly due to the high increase in the costs of goods sold, which exceeded the increase in revenues. In fiscal year 2009, the gross margin for refractory, industrial ceramic and fracture proppant segments were 27.9%, 25.6% and 32.4%, respectively.

(Recovery of) provision for doubtful accounts. Based on an assessment of our steel mill customers, which concluded their good reputation and satisfactory track record of collection, the management established the general provisioning policy that, no allowance is provided for the trade receivables aged below six months. Consequently, we released provision of approximately $0.1 million based on the new estimate.

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses maintained flat at approximately $4.4 million in 2009 and 2008. As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased by 1.0% to 7.8% in 2009, as compared with 8.8% in 2008. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the long term as we hire additional personnel and incur additional costs in connection with the expansion of our business and being a publicly traded company, including costs of enhancing our internal controls. As a percentage of net revenue, the general and administrative expenses ratio will not increase.

Research and development cost. Our research and development cost increased by 55.1% from approximately $308,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 to approximately $478,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. This increase was primarily due to more resources we had allocated to further extend our R&D strength. We established a new government-supported R&D center in 2009.

Selling expenses. Our selling expenses increased by approximately $0.2 million, or 3.4%, to approximately $6.3 million in 2009 from approximately $6.1 million in 2008. Selling expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased by 1.2% to 11.0% in 2009 as compared with 12.2% in 2008. The increase in our selling expenses was mainly contributable to an approximate $0.6 million increase in traveling expenses for growing sales activity, and a $0.1 million export related expense, mainly for the export of fracture proppant, offset by a $0.6 million decrease in transportation expense, due to lower freight charges per metric ton Government grant income. Our government grant income increased by approximately $1.1 million, to approximately $1.2 million in 2009 from approximately $0.1 million in 2008. In 2009, our High-Temperature subsidiary was rewarded with $0.7 million for research and development efforts that High-Temperature had made to obtain 3 new patents in 2008, and our Duesail subsidiary was awarded $0.4 million government grant for its energy conservation and emission reduction contribution it had made by applying the Revolving Kiln technology in its second production line.

Finance costs, net. Our finance cost decreased by approximately $0.2 million, or 25.3%, to approximately $0.6 million in 2009 from approximately $0.8 million in 2008. As a percentage of net revenues, our finance cost was 1.0% in 2009 and 1.6% in 2008. This significant decrease was primarily due to an approximately $0.1 million decrease in discounted interest cost, and an approximate $0.1 million decrease in interest expense, which was compensated an approximate $0.3 million capitalized interest as the cost of construction by the Micronized subsidiary, due to the reallocation related to the capitalization.

Income before income taxes and noncontrolling interest. Our income before income taxes and minority interests increased by approximately $1.6 million, or 35.0%, to approximately $6.1 million in 2009 from approximately $4.5 million in 2008. As a percentage of net revenues, our income before income taxes and minority interests increased by 1.6% to 10.7% in 2009, as compared with 9.1% in 2008. This increase in percentage was primarily attributable to the increases in sales revenue, lower operating expenses due to effective cost control, and higher government grant income in 2009, as discussed above.

Income taxes. We incurred income taxes of approximately $0.4 million, which decreased by approximately $0.1 million or 11.4% in 2009, compared with approximately $0.5 million in 2008. As a percentage of income before income taxes and noncontrolling interest, income taxes accounted for 6.8% in 2009, compared with 10.3% for the same period in 2008. The decrease in income taxes we paid was mainly because of the government grants we received during the year were tax exempt.

Net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders. As a result of the foregoing, our net income increased by 38.3% to $5.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 from $4.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 million and restricted cash of $16.0 million. Our current assets were $73.5 million and our current liabilities were $48.9 million as of December 31, 2009 which resulted in a current ratio of approximately 1.5 to 1. Total stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2009 was $48.9 million. The following table provides detailed information regarding our net cash flow for all financial statement periods presented in this report.

(in thousands of US dollar)	2009	2008

Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities	(3,775)	$8,426
Net cash used in investing activities	(6,224)	(8,265)

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	36	(1,009)
Cash and cash equivalents – beginning of year	956	1,964
Cash and cash equivalents – end of year	992	956

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities in 2009 totaled $3.8 million, which is an increase of $12.2 million from net cash provided by operating activities of $8.4 million in 2008. The increase in net cash used by operating activities was mainly due a $6.7 million increase in bills receivables, a $4.1 million increase in other receivable and prepayment, and a $4.9 million decrease in bills payable, due to increased sales and material purchases, offset by a $5.7 million decrease in inventories, due to improved inventory turnover rate.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities in the fiscal year of 2009 was $6.2 million, which is a decrease of $2.0 million from net cash used in investing activities of $8.3 million in 2008. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities for 2009 was primarily due to our construction of fine precision abrasive facility and the expansion of fracture proppant second-production line, which caused a $5.0 million decrease in deposit paid for property, plant and equipment, and an increase of $3.8 million cash payment for these PPE and construction in progress and land use right.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided in financing activities was $10.0 million in 2009, which is a significant increase of $11.4 million from net cash used in financing activities of $1.4 million in 2008. The main reason for increased net cash provided by financing activities was mainly because of an increase of $37.2 million bank loans and borrowings from domestic commercial banks, offset by a $14.9 million increase of restricted cash, which is collateral for bank borrowing, and a $8.0 million increase in cash outflow for repayment of bank loans.

Loan Facilities

In 2009, we borrowed new loans for a total $37.2 million from banks for the working operation needs and we repaid $14.9 million in loans borrowed during the year ended on December 31, 2009. As a result, the balance of all our bank loans and borrowing as on December 31, 2009 was approximately $28.5 million, which includes $11.9 million short-term bank loans and $16.6 million of bank borrowing secured by bank deposits . We might need additional credit facilities for possible new production line construction and productions.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company and its subsidiaries have the following credit facilities with the following terms:

We have $11.9 million of loans maturing on or before the end of March 8, March 22, March 25, May 25, June 03, and September 11, 2010, respectively. We will repay each loan when it matures with our working capital. We will also consider refinancing debt; however, we cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to refinance any of our debt on terms favorable to us in a timely manner.

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

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, our 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 not limited to, the valuation of trade receivables, other receivable, inventories, deferred income taxes and the estimation on life expectancy of property, plant and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Allowance of doubtful accounts

We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectibility of trade receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of the allowance. We consider the historical level of credit losses and apply percentages to aged receivable categories. We make 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 establishes the general provisioning policy to make allowance equivalent to 1% of trade receivables due over 6 months but within 1 year, 5% of gross amount of trade receivables due from 1 to 2 years, 40% of gross amount of trade receivables due from 2 to 3 years and 70% of gross amount of trade receivables due over 3 years. Additional specific provision is made against trade receivables to the extent that they are considered to be doubtful.

Bad debts are written off when identified. We do not accrue interest on trade receivables.

Historically, losses from uncollectible accounts have not significantly deviated from the general allowance estimated by our management and no significant additional bad debts have been written off directly to the profit and loss. This general provisioning policy has not changed in the past since establishment and our management considers that the aforementioned general provisioning policy is adequate and not too excessive and does not expect to change this established policy in the near future. The factors we considered in determining not to change our provisioning policies are:

a) our customers have solid reputations;

b) the delay in payment was mostly temporary; and

c) the overall macro environment in China for the steel industry will improve in the next year.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use.

Depreciation is provided on straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The principal depreciation rates are as follows:

	Annual rate	Residual value

Buildings	5- 7 %	3-10%
Plant and machinery	9-33%	3-10%
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	9-20%	3-10%
Motor vehicles	9-18%	3-10%

Maintenance or repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the applicable amounts of asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount less proceeds from disposal is charged or credited to income.

Intangible assets

We account for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350 (previously SFAS No. 142). The provisions of ASC 350 (i) prohibit the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, (ii) require that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested annually for impairment (and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating that the carrying value may be impaired), and (iii) require that reporting units be identified for the purpose of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill.

Our intangible assets are comprised of unpatented and patented technologies. Unpatented technology is determined to have an indefinite useful life pursuant to the purchase contract as detailed in Note 7a to the Consolidated Financial Statements. It is not subject to amortization until its useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite. Accordingly, unpatented technology is stated at cost of purchase less any identified impairment losses in the annual impairment test.

Patented technology is determined to have useful life of 12 years pursuant to the purchase contract as detailed in Note 7b to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Patented technology is stated at cost of purchase less any accumulated amortization and any identified impairment losses in the annual impairment review.

Assets may not be recoverable. We recognize 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, we have not identified any indicators that would require testing for impairment.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recognized upon acquisition of the equity interest in Prefecture, which represent the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired identified net assets of Prefecture at the time of acquisition. It is stated at cost less annual impairment. 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.

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. We recognize 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, we have not identified any indicators that would require testing for impairment.

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 whole such that all of these service 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, we 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 our materials. For each maintenance, repair and replacement, we will supply materials and do the installation and testing works again, which are regarded as separate sales by us. In other words, we 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 work and testing are completed and after acceptance by customers, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

Warranty

We maintain a policy of providing after sales support for certain products by way of a warranty program. As such these products are guaranteed for usage over a pre-agreed period of time of service life or a pre-determined number of heating times. Further, the relevant customers are allowed to defer the settlement of certain percentage (normally 10%) of the billed amount for certain period of time (normally one year) after acceptance of our products under the warranty program. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, such receivables amounted to $3,258,266 and $1,607,431 respectively and were included in trade receivables.

Since such products were well developed and highly mature, we did not encounter any significant claims from such customers based on past experience. Only a fraction of our sales are under warranty programs. Sales with warranty programs of $4.9 million and $4.7 million accounted for 8.4% and 9.4% of total revenues for the fiscal years of 2009 and 2008, respectively. The warranty programs guarantee the products for usage over a pre-agreed period of time of service life or a pre-determined number of heating times. If a claim qualifies under the program, we will be responsible to repair the system. Based on past experience, we did not encounter any significant claims from such customers. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, such warranty expenses amounted to approximately $249,000 and $231,000, respectively and are included in the selling expenses. They represent 0.4% and 0.5% of sales revenue and 4.3% and 5.7% of net income for fiscal years of 2009 and 2008 respectively. Accordingly we did not maintain a warranty reserve in view of its immateriality to our operation during the reporting periods. However, we will periodically assess the estimation of its warranty liability and recognize the reserve when necessary based on the actual experience.

Not accruing warranty expense would not materially impact our financial statements in the qualitative aspect because accruing warranty expenses would not, in management’s judgment, significantly influence users of the financial information who may be interested in this number, including customers and suppliers, governing bodies or investors. The fact that the actual warranty expense is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements provided, in our view, adequate information to users who may be interested in this number, as it provides an accurate measure of the extent of expenditure incurred, which perhaps may be an indication of the quality of our products. Based on the materiality criteria of SAB Topic 1.M, we have determined to change our policy to begin accruing for warranty expenses at the time of sale when the warranty programs reach 10% of total sales or when warranty expenses reach 5% of net income.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of rent paid, office expenses, staff welfare, consumables, labor protection and salaries and wage which are incurred at the administrative level and exchange difference.

Stock-based compensation

We adopted the provisions of ASC 718 (previously SFAS 123(R)), 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.

Fair value of share options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes model. Under this model, certain assumptions, including the risk-free interest rate, the expected life of the options and the estimated fair value of our common stock and the expected volatility, are required to determine the fair value of the options. If different assumptions had been used, the fair value of the options would have been different from the amount we computed and recorded, which would have resulted in either an increase or decrease in the compensation expense.

Income taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Commitments and Contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

Apart from the guarantee as stated in Note 20(b) to the Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this annual report, given by us to third parties, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Fair value of financial instruments

We adopted ASC 820 (previously Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157). The adoption of ASC 820 did not materially impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASC 820 requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments including those financial instruments for which the 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 December 31, 2009				As of December 31, 2008
		Carrying				Carrying
		amount		Fair value		amount		Fair value

Unsecured interest-bearing loan	$	-	$	-	$	220,050	$	208,954
Collateralised short-term bank loans		28,459,800		29,262,527		2,640,600		2,697,692
	$	28,459,800	$	29,262,527	$	2,860,650	$	2,906,646

The fair value of collateralized borrowings is based on our 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 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 our 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 our 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 in evaluating the impact.

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 our 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 our 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 our 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.

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 our financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05 (“ASU 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 ASU Update 2009-05. ASU Update 2009-05 became effective for our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009. The adoption of this ASU update has no material impact on our financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 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. We 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 ASU update on our financial statements.

The FASB issued ASU-2010-09 (Topic 855) to amend guidance on subsequent events to remove the requirement for SEC filers (as defined in ASU 2010-09) to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. This change alleviates potential conflicts with current SEC guidance. An SEC filer is still required to evaluate subsequent events through the date financial statements are issued, but disclosure of that date is no longer required. The amendments in ASU 2010-09 became effective upon issuance of the guidance.

The financial statements required by this item begin on page F-1 hereof.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On April 25, 2007, our board of directors elected to appoint PKF, Certified Public Accounts, Hong Kong, China, a member firm of the PKF International Limited of legally independent firm (“PKF Hong Kong”), as our independent registered public accounting firm. We did not change our independent registered public accounting firm since then.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information that would be required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Shunqing Zhang, and our interim Chief Financial Officer, Hongfeng Jin, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009. Based on our assessment, we determined that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation performed during the fiscal years covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information that would be required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Shunqing Zhang, and our interim Chief Financial Officer, Hongfeng Jin, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009. Based on that evaluation, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Jin concluded that as of December 31, 2009, and as of the date that the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures were completed.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that management document and test our internal control over financial reporting and include in this Annual Report on Form 10-K a report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Our Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of Messrs. Zhang and Jin, and effected by our board of directors, currently consisting of four directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and includes those policies and procedures that:

(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and

(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication and (v) monitoring. As a result of this assessment and based on the criteria in the COSO framework, Messrs. Zhang and Jin have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, as of December 31, 2009.

Auditor Attestation

This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered independent public accounting firm regarding management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to audit by our registered independent public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

From inception through the year ended December 31, 2009, there were no significant changes in internal controls of the Company, or other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures provide our Chief Executive Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer with reasonable assurances that our disclosure controls and procedures will achieve their objectives. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting can or will prevent all human error. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Furthermore, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are internal resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be weighed relative to their corresponding costs. Because of the limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide complete assurance that all control issues and instances of error, if any, within our company are detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur due to human error or mistake. Additionally, controls, no matter how well designed, could be circumvented by the individual acts of specific persons within the organization. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all potential future conditions.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To the best of our knowledge, during the past five years, none of our officers or directors were involved in any of the following: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

Section 16(A) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Under U.S. securities laws, directors, certain executive officers and persons holding more than 10% of our common stock must report their initial ownership of the common stock, and any changes in that ownership, to the SEC. The SEC has designated specific due dates for these reports. Mr. Shunqing Zhang, our Chairman, CEO and President, who owns more than 10% of our common stock timely filed a Form 5 to report one late transaction in 2009.

Code of Ethics

On April 25, 2007, our then sole director adopted a code of ethics pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer. The code of ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the SEC, and in other public communications that we made;
Compliance with applicable government laws, rules and regulations;
The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to the appropriate person or persons; and
Accountability for adherence to the code.

The code requires the highest standard of ethical conduct and fair dealing of its senior financial officers, or SFO, defined as the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. While this policy is intended to only cover the actions of the SFO, in accordance with Sarbanes-Oxley, we expect our other officers, directors and employees will also review our code and abide by its provisions. We believe that our reputation is a valuable asset and must continually be guarded by all associated with us so as to cam the trust, confidence and respect of our suppliers, customers and stockholders.

Our SFO are committed to conducting business in accordance with the highest ethical standards. The SFO must comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Furthermore, SFO must not commit an illegal or unethical act, or instruct or authorize others to do so.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
China GengSheng Minerals, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China GengSheng Minerals, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1. Corporate information (Cont’d)

The principal raw materials used in the products are several forms of aluminum oxide, including bauxite, processed Al₂0₃and calcium aluminates cement, and other materials, such as corundum, magnesia, resin and silica, which are primarily sourced from suppliers located in the PRC. The production facilities of the Company other than the Prefecture’s sub-processing factory which is located in Guizhou Province, are also located in Henan Province.

Refractories products allow steel makers and other customers to improve the productivity and longevity of their equipment and machinery. Industrial 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, they serve as components in industrial furnaces and other heavy industrial machinery. Corundum materials are major raw material for producing refractory products. Fine precision abrasive is the Company’s new product, which is used for slicing the solar-silicon bar and polishing the equipment surface, has been launched in late 2009. The Company's customers include some of the largest steel and iron producers and petroleum and chemical producers located in 25 provinces in the PRC, as well as in the United States and other countries in Asia, and Europe.

2. Acquisition

On June 12, 2008, Refractories entered into an equity transfer agreement (the "Equity Transfer Agreement") with Huizong Zhang, Yuanwei Zhang and Shuqin Yu (collectively the "Sellers") for the purchase of 100% ownership of Xinyu Abrasive Co., Ltd. ("Xinyu") from the Sellers. Under the Equity Transfer Agreement, Refractories was required to pay a total consideration of $875,400 (RMB6,000,000) in exchange for 100% ownership of Xinyu and its assets. Xinyu was then renamed as Guizhou Southeast Prefecture GengSheng New Materials Co., Ltd on June 18, 2008. The consideration is scheduled to be paid by Refactories in two installments. The first installment amounted to $787,860 (RMB5,400,000) was required to be paid on June 12, 2008 and the second installment amounted to $87,540 (RMB600,000) was required to be paid within 30 days after completing the transfer registration with Commerce Department. As of December 31, 2009, $875,400 had been fully paid. The acquisition is an upstream integration to provide synergy in the form of reduced production costs and stable supply.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price reflecting the fair values of Prefecture's each major class of assets acquired at the date of acquisition:

		As of June 12, 2008

3. Summary of significant 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.

Noncontrolling interests

Noncontrolling interests resulted from the consolidation of an 89.33% owned subsidiary, High-Temperature.

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 receivable, inventories, deferred income taxes, the estimation on useful lives of property, plant and equipment and the impairment of goodwill and know-how. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade, bills and other receivables. As of December 31, 2009 and 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.

Regarding bills receivable, they 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.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

Concentrations of credit risk (Cont’d)

During the reporting periods, one customer representing 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated sales is:

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, approximately 7% and 10% of gross trade receivables were due from this customer.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008 almost all the cash and cash equivalents were denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”) and were placed with banks in the PRC. They are not freely convertible into foreign currencies and the remittance of these funds out of the PRC is subject to exchange control restrictions imposed by the PRC government. The remaining insignificant balance of cash and cash equivalents were denominated in Hong Kong dollars.

Restricted Cash

Deposits in banks pledged as collateral for bills payable and bank loans (Note 4) that are restricted in use are classified as restricted cash under current assets.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectibility 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 1% of trade receivables due over 6 months but within 1 year, 5% of trade receivables due from 1 to 2 years, 40% of trade receivables due from 2 to 3 years and 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.

Historically, losses from uncollectible accounts have not significantly deviated from the general allowance estimated by the management and no significant additional bad debts have been written off directly to the profit and loss. This general provisioning policy has not changed in the past since establishment and the management considers that the aforementioned general provisioning policy is adequate and not too excessive and they do not expect to change this established policy in the near future.

Capitalized interest

The interest cost associated with the major development and construction projects is capitalized and included in the cost of the project. When no debt is incurred specifically for a project, interest is capitalized on amounts expended on the project using weighted-average cost of the Company’s outstanding borrowings. Capitalization of interest ceases when the project is substantially complete or development activity is suspended for more than a brief period.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)

Inventories

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

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

Based on the above assessment, the Company establishes a general policy to make a 50% provision for inventories aged over 1 year. Historically, the actual net realizable value is close to the management’s estimation.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use.

Depreciation is provided on straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The principal effective depreciation rates are as follows:

	Effective annual rate

Buildings	5- 7 %
Plant and machinery	9-33%
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	9-20%
Motor vehicles	9-18%

Construction in progress mainly represents expenditures in respect of the Company’s new offices and factories under construction. All direct costs relating to the acquisition or construction of the Company’s new office and factories are capitalized as construction in progress. No depreciation is provided in respect of construction in progress.

Intangible assets

The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350 (previously SFAS No. 142). The provisions of ASC 350 (i) prohibit the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, (ii) require that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested annually for impairment (and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating that the carrying value may be impaired), and (iii) require that reporting units be identified for the purpose of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill.

The intangible assets of the Company are comprised of unpatented and patented technologies. Unpatented technology is determined to have an indefinite useful life pursuant to the purchase contract as detailed in Note 8a. It is not subject to amortization until its useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite. Accordingly, unpatented technology is stated at cost of purchase less any identified impairment losses in the annual impairment test.

Patented technology is determined to have useful life of 10 or 12 years pursuant to the purchase contract as detailed in Note 8b. Patented technology is stated at cost of purchase less any accumulated amortization and any identified impairment losses in the annual impairment review.

Goodwill

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.

Land use rights

Land use rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the terms of the leases of 39 to 50 years obtained from the relevant PRC land authority.

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.

Government grant

The government grant is recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income when the relevant performance criteria are met. Grants applicable to purchase of property, plant and equipment are amortized over the life of the depreciable assets.

The government grants for the year ended December 31, 2009 mainly represent incentive payment from the local government for the advanced technology subsidy of $666,150 paid to High-Temperature, energy conservation and emission reduction bonus of $366,750 granted to Duesail and subsidy of $122,666 to support the normal operation of the Company.

The Company received certain government grants for the purchase of property, plant and equipment. Such subsidy was recorded as deferred revenue and was amortized as income over the useful lives of the relevant property, plant and equipment. The Company received such government grants of $381,420 during the year ended December 31, 2009.

The government grants for the year ended December 31, 2008 mainly incentive payment of $75,262 from the local government for the advanced technology subsidy paid to Refractories.

Revenue recognition

Products sales with installation, testing, maintenance repair and replacement - This kind of contract is signed as whole such that all of these service 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 work and testing are completed and after acceptance by customers, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

Selling expenses

Selling expenses mainly consist of advertising, commission, entertainment, salaries, shipping and handling cost and traveling expenses which are incurred during selling activities.

Advertising, shipping and handling costs, research and development expenses

Advertising, shipping and handling costs and other product-related costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Advertising expense amounting to $13,943 and $34,524 for two years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were included in selling expenses.

Shipping and handling costs amounting to $2,643,942 and $3,283,617 for two years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were included in selling expenses.

Research and development include cost of raw material consumed, testing expenses and other costs incurred for research and development of potential new products. They are expensed when incurred.

Research and development costs amounting to $478,422 and $308,431 for two years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Warranty

The Company maintains a policy of providing after sales support for certain products by way of a warranty program. As such these products are guaranteed for usage over a pre-agreed period of time of service life or a pre-determined number of heating times. Further, the relevant customers are allowed to defer the settlement of certain percentage (normally 10%) of the billed amount for certain period of time (normally one year) after acceptance of the Company’s products under the warranty program. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, such receivables amounted to $3,258,266 and $1,607,431 respectively and were included in trade receivables.

Since such products were well developed and highly mature, the Company did not encounter any significant claims from such customers based on past experience. Only a fraction of the Company’s sales are under warranty programs. Sales with warranty programs of $4.9 million and $4.7 million accounted for 8.4% and 9.4% of total revenues for the fiscal years of 2009 and 2008, respectively. The warranty programs guarantee the products for usage over a pre-agreed period of time of service life or a pre-determined number of heating times. If a claim qualifies under the program, the Company will be responsible to repair the system. Based on past experience, the Company did not encounter any significant claims from such customers. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, such warranty expenses amounted to approximately $249,000 and $231,000, respectively and are included in the selling expenses. They represent 0.4% and 0.5% of sales revenue and 4.3% and 5.7% of net income for fiscal years of 2009 and 2008 respectively. Accordingly the Company did not maintain a warranty reserve in view of its immateriality to the Company’s operation during the reporting periods. However, the Company will periodically assess the estimation of its warranty liability and recognize the reserve when necessary based on the actual experience.

Not accruing warranty expense would not materially impact our financial statements in the qualitative aspect because accruing warranty expenses would not, in management’s judgment, significantly influence users of the financial information who may be interested in this number, including customers and suppliers, governing bodies or investors. The fact that the actual warranty expense is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements provided, in the Company’s view, adequate information to users who may be interested in this number, as it provides an accurate measure of the extent of expenditure incurred, which perhaps may be an indication of the quality of the Company’s products. Based on the materiality criteria of SAB Topic 1.M, the Company’s policy to begin accruing for warranty expenses at the time of sale when the warranty programs reach 10% of total sales or when warranty expenses reach 5% of net income.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of material costs, freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, internal transfer costs, wages, employee compensation, depreciation and related costs, which are directly attributable to the production of products. Write-down of inventory to lower of cost or market is also recorded in cost of sales.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of rent paid, office expenses, staff welfare, consumables, research and development costs, labor protection and salaries and wages which are incurred at the administrative level and exchange difference.

Stock-based compensation

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718 (previously SFAS 123(R)), 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.

Income taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740 “Income Taxes” (previously SFAS No. 109). Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carry forwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Comprehensive income

The Company has adopted ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income (previously SFAS No. 130), which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Components of comprehensive income include net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of the Company is RMB and RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. The Company maintains its financial statements in the functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchanges rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.

For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company which are prepared using the functional currency have been translated into United States dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and stockholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity. The exchange rates in effect as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 were RMB1 for $0.1467. The average exchange rates for the years end December 31, 2009 and 2008 were RMB1 for $0.1466 and $0.1442 respectively. There is no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to US dollars after the balance sheet date.

Recorded in other comprehensive income are translation exchange gains which amounted to $13,845 and $2,037,005 for the two years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Basic and diluted earnings per share

The Company reports basic earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share” (previously SFAS No. 128). Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The weighted average number of shares of the Company represents the common stock outstanding during the reporting periods.

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.

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.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05 (“ASU 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 ASU Update 2009-05. ASU Update 2009-05 will become effective for the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009. The adoption of this ASU update has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 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 ASU update on the Company’s financial statements.

The unsecured loan amount of $220,050 was advanced from local government and carried interest at 7.56% per annum and was repayable on demand. According to legal opinion, as the lender has not taken any action to claim the loan within the reasonable time, the unsecured loan was over the statutory limit of 20 years, so the amount together with respective accrued interest was written back and recognized as other income.

15. Statutory and other reserves

The Company’s statutory and other reserves were comprised as follows:

Under PRC regulations, all 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 as detailed in Note 1, Furnace was entitled to a special tax concession (“Tax Concession”) because it employed the required the number of disabled staff according to the relevant PRC tax rules. In particular, this Tax Concession exempted Furnace 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 are not available for distribution. This reserve as maintained by Furnace has been combined into Refractories upon the combination as detailed in Note 1 and is subject to the same restrictions in its usage.

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, 2009, as it is the Company's current policy to reinvest these earnings in non-U.S. operations.

BVI

GengSheng International 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 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 enterprises 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 was 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 unified rate of 15% for three years due to its engagement in advance technology industry and passed the inspection of provincial high-tech item. The relevant authority granted it a certificate at end of 2008.

High-Temperature engages in an advanced technology industry and has passed the inspection of the provincial high-tech item, 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 can continue 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 will be 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%.

Micronized, being a domestic enterprise established in the PRC, was subject to enterprise income tax at 25% upon its incorporation.

In July 2006, the FASB issued ASC 740-10-25 (previously Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”). This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. The Company adopted this ASC 740-10-25 on January 1, 2007. Under the new CIT Law which became effective on January 1, 2008, the Company may be deemed to be a resident enterprise by the PRC tax authorities. If the Company was deemed to be resident enterprise, the Company may be subject to the CIT at 25% on the worldwide taxable income and dividends paid from the PRC subsidiaries to their overseas holding companies may be exempted from 10% PRC withholding tax. Except for certain immaterial interest income from bank deposits placed with financial institutions outside the PRC, all of the Company’s income is generated from the PRC operation. Given the immaterial amount of income generated from outside the PRC and the PRC subsidiaries do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, the management considers that the impact arising from resident enterprise on the Company’s financial position is not significant. The management evaluated the Company's tax positions and considered that no additional provision for uncertainty in income taxes is necessary as of December 31, 2009.

The components of the provision for income taxes from continuing operations are:

		Year ended December 31,
		2009		2008

Current taxes -PRC	$	344,536	$	463,047

22. 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. Management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by the revenue of monolithic refractory products, industrial ceramic products, fracture proppant products, fine precision abrasives and operating results of the Company. As such, the Company has determined that it has four operating segments as defined by ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (previously SFAS 131): refractories, industrial ceramic, fracture proppant and fine precision abrasives. However, since the Company has not yet commenced production of fine precision abrasives, there is not yet any revenue from this new product line.

Adjustments and eliminations of inter-company transactions were not included in determining segment profit (loss), as they are not used by the chief operating decision maker.

23. Related party transactions

Apart from the advances from a director and senior management, which are unsecured, interest-free and repayable on demand, and the guarantee given by Mr. Zhang as disclosed in notes 11(b) and 13(a), the Company had no material transactions carried out with related parties during the reporting periods.

24. Stock-based compensation

The Company estimated the fair value of each warrant award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the assumption noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on the historical and implied volatility of a peer group of publicly traded entities. The expected term of options gave consideration to historical exercises, post-vesting cancellations and the options’ contractual term. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity at the time of grant.

Stock Compensation-The Company granted a warrant for the purchase of 112,299 and 262,032 shares of common stock to Civilian Capital, Inc., and Brean Murray Carret & Co., LLC, respectively, for the services in connection with the private placement on April 25, 2007. The Company valued the options by the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the amount of $748,034 which was recorded as cost of raising capital against additional paid-in capital.

25. Subsequent events

The Company evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after December 31, 2009 and has determined that there is no material recognizable nor subsequent events or transactions, except for the commencement of trading on NYSE Amex Stock Exchange as described in Note 1, which would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, other than noted herein.
