Description of business

   

The Company is a holding company whose primary business operations are conducted through its subsidiaries located in the PRC’s Henan Province. Prefecture is located in Guizhou Province and is manufacturing corundum materials, a major raw material for monolithic refractory. Through its operating subsidiaries, the Company produces and markets a broad range of monolithic refractory, functional ceramics, fracture proppants, fine precision abrasives, and corundum materials.

   

The principal raw materials used in the products are several forms of aluminum oxide, including bauxite, processed AI2 O3 and 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 located in Guizhou, 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. Functional ceramic products mainly include abrasive balls and tiles, valves, electronic ceramics and structural ceramics. Fracture proppant products are used to reach trapped pockets of oil and natural gas deposits, which lead to higher productivities of oil and natural gas wells. Due to their heat-resistant qualities and ability to function under thermal stress, refractories serve as components in industrial furnaces and other heavy industrial machinery. Corundum materials are major raw material for producing monolithic refractory. Fine precision abrasive is the Company’s new product that was commercially launched in the fourth quarter of 2009, and is used for slicing the solar-silicon bar and polishing the equipment surface. The Company’s customers include some of the largest steel and iron producers located in 25 provinces in the PRC, as well as in the United States and other countries in Asia, and Europe.

Summary of significant accounting policies

   

Basis of consolidation

   

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

   

Concentrations of credit risk

   

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, trade, bills and other receivables, and financial guarantee issued to third parties. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, 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.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)

   

Concentrations of credit risk (Cont’d)

   

Bills receivable in China are undertaken by the banks to honor the payments at maturity and the customers are required to place deposits with the banks equivalent to a certain percentage of the bills amount as collateral. These bills receivable can be sold to any third party at a discount before maturity. The Company does not maintain allowance for bills receivable in the absence of bad debt experience and the payments are undertaken by the banks.

   

The financial guarantees issued to third parties are located in the PRC. The management believes GengSheng’s operating subsidiaries have high credit ratings and good reputation in their respective industries.

   

During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we had only one customer, Shandong Steel Co., Ltd Rizhao Subsidiary (formerly, “Rizhao Steel”), representing 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated sales. Our sales to Shandong Steel amounted to $1,850,313 or 15.60%, $2,412,053 or 19.46% of our sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

   

Fair value of financial instruments

   

The Company adopted ASC 820 (previously Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of ASC 820 did not materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

   

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


      As of March 31, 2010     As of December 31, 2009

  Collateralized bank loans $  26,259,300   $  26,630,665   $  28,459,800   $  29,339,460  

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

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 was effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - Amended (Included in amended Topic ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”). The amended topic requires 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 was effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

   

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 FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 amends ASC Topic 820 to require the following additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements: (i) the amounts of transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; (ii) reasons for any transfers in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and (iii) the inclusion of information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements. ASU 2010-06 also amends ASC Topic 820 to clarify existing disclosure requirements, requiring fair value disclosures by class of assets and liabilities rather than by major category and the disclosure of valuation techniques and inputs used to determine the fair value of Level 2 and Level 3 assets and liabilities. With the exception of disclosures relating to purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of recurring Level 3 measurements, ASU 2010-06 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The disclosure requirements related to purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of recurring Level 3 measurements are effective for financial statements for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of these new Level 3 disclosures to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

   

The FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810) Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary - a Scope Clarification”. This amendment affects entities that have previously adopted Topic 810-10 (formally SFAS 160). It clarifies the decrease in ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10 and removes the potential conflict between guidance in that Subtopic and asset derecognition and gain or loss recognition guidance that may exist in other US GAAP. An entity will be required to follow the amended guidance beginning in the period that it first adopts FAS 160 (now included in Subtopic 810-10). For those entities that have already adopted FAS 160, the amendments was effective at the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted FAS 160. The adoption of this ASU update has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events: Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, which amends FASB ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events. The update provides that SEC filers, as defined in ASU 2010-09, are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. The update also requires SEC filers to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued rather than the date the financial statements are available to be issued. The Company adopted ASU 2010-09 upon issuance. This update had no material impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Income taxes (Cont’d)

   

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 it 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 is 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.

Income taxes (Cont’d)

   

PRC

   

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 March 31, 2010.

Earnings per share

   

During the reporting periods, certain share-based awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. Accordingly, the basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.

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, functional 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, functional 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.

Corporate Structure

We conduct our operations in China through our wholly owned subsidiaries Refractories, Duesail, Micronized and Prefecture and through our majority owned subsidiary, High-Temperature.

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

Corporate Background

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

22


Acquisition of Powersmart and Related Financing

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

On April 25, 2007, we also completed a private placement financing transaction pursuant to which we issued and sold 5,347,594 shares of our common stock to certain accredited investors for $10 million in gross proceeds. In connection with this private placement, we paid a fee of $683,618 to Brean Murray Carret & Co., LL, or Brean Murray, and Civilian Capital, Inc. for services as placement agents for the private placement. We also issued to Brean Murray Carret & Co., LLC and Civilian Capital, Inc. warrants for the purchase of 374,331 shares of our common stock in the aggregate. The warrants are immediately exercisable, have piggyback registration rights and have a three-year term, expiring on April 26, 2010. On March 10, 2010, Brean Murray Carret & Co., LLC exercised the warrant cashlessly, which was converted to 108,334 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, and on April 21, 2010, Civilian Capital, Inc. exercised the warrant cashlessly, which was converted to 27,869 shares of the Corporation’s common stock.

Also, on April 25, 2007, our majority stockholder, Shunqing Zhang, entered into an escrow agreement with the private placement investors, pursuant to which, Mr. Zhang agreed to deposit in an escrow account a total of 2,673,796 shares of the Company's common stock owned by him, to be held for the benefit of the investors. Mr. Zhang agreed that if the Company 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 87.5% of the total revenue in the first quarter of 2010. 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.

23


We provide a customized solution for each order of our monolithic refractory materials based on customer-specific formulas. Upon delivery to customers, the monolithic materials are applied to the inner surfaces of our customers’ furnaces, ladles or other vessels to improve the productivity of that equipment. The product 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 46.1% of the Company’s total sales in the first quarter of 2010, compared with 38.9% in the same period of 2009. We believe that these services together with our refractory products provide us with a strategic advantage to secure our profits.

Industrial Ceramics

Industrial Ceramics accounted for approximately 2.4% of the total revenue in the first quarter of 2010. 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

Fracture Proppants accounted for approximately 10.1% of the total revenue in the first quarter of 2010. 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.

24


On April 27th, 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. With more efficient production technology and higher capacity, we are well positioned to enlarge our sales both in China and internationally.

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 instruments such as solar panels. Currently, the type of abrasives that we produce is in high demand among solar-energy companies. Solar energy companies use fine precision abrasives to cut silicon bars and to polish equipment surfaces so that they can be smooth and reflective. Our products can be utilized in a broad range of areas including machinery manufacturing, electronics, optical glass, architecture industry development, semiconductor, silicon chip, plastic and lens. We launched the fine precision abrasive segment in the fourth quarter of 2009, and had shipped out trial products to potential customers. A description of its features is as follows:

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

Highlights of the First Quarter of 2010

During the first quarter of 2010, we improved our revenue from our core refractory products, which increased 6% to $10.4 million. This increase was the result of increased average sales price based on the increase in raw materials pricing and a shift in our revenue mix toward higher-priced products, which also carry higher margins. In conjunction with this focus, we also expanded our research and development efforts related to our refractory business segment to support the initial stages of this product mix migrations, as well as with our industrial ceramics business segment that we believe remains significant growth opportunity. This shift in focus contributed to the year-over-year increase in gross margin, which reached 33.5%, compared with 30.3% in the same period of 2009.

Our financial performance in the first quarter is summarized as follows:

  • Sales revenue decreased by approximately $0.5 million, or approximately 4.3%, to approximately $11.9 million for the first quarter of 2010, from approximately $12.4 million for the same period in 2009.
  • Gross profit increased by approximately $0.2 million, or 5.8%, to approximately $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from approximately $3.8 million for the same period in 2009. Gross margin was 33.5% for the first quarter of 2010, compared with 30.3% for the same period in 2009. The increase in gross margin was largely due to the result of the aforementioned efforts to shift revenue mix toward higher-end products.
  • Net income decreased by approximately $0.6 million, or 59.4%, to approximately $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2010, from approximately $1.0 million for the same period in 2009.
  • Our condensed consolidated balance sheet (unaudited) as of March 31, 2010 included current assets of approximately $73.7 million and total assets of approximately $98.7 million, with working capital of approximately $24.8 million.

Uncertainties that Affect our Financial Condition

Industry Consolidation of Steel Millers

The Chinese steel industry achieved record crude steel output of approximately 570 million metric tons in 2009, an increase of 13.5% over 2008, Despite this record output, the industry is facing challenges related to overcapacity and the global economic recession. In addition, the PRC government’s policy aimed at improving the operational and energy efficiency of the Chinese steel industry is expected to squeeze out small to mid-sized steel makers, which may reduce market demand for refractories. To address these potential challenges, we plan to focus on providing high-efficiency, low-carbon, environmentally friendly monolithic refractories.

Considerable Increase of Raw Material Prices and Decreasing Gross Margin

Along with most Chinese companies, we are faced higher raw material, fuel and utilities prices during the first quarter of 2010, as inflation expectations and upstream pricing pressure continued. Due to the fragmented nature of our market, we did not increase the average sales prices of our products in line with the market increases in raw material prices, but did raise average sales prices to pass through some of these costs to our customers. Although soaring materials costs and slower sales growth have impacted us less than our competitors, our gross margin and net income were impacted by the continued global economic distress. We will continue to optimize our products offering in an effort to ensure the most efficient resource allocation.

25


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 revenue and profit from exports in the first quarter of 2010, compared with the same period of 2009. In April 2010, we re-signed two contracts with a U.S.-based distributor in the total amount of approximately $3.6 million for our fracture proppants products, and we are optimistic with respect to a recovery of the exports of fracture proppants.

Longer payment term and significant receivables

Currently, the payment term of our receivables has cast certain concerns of the adequacy of our cash flow used in our operating activities time by time. The payment term of receivables from our main steel customers is approximately 120-180 days. We plan to negotiate purchase agreements with our steel customers that call for either shortened payment terms or down payments to maintain sufficient cash flow for us to purchase raw materials and support our operations. We have successfully obtained some down payments from certain customers in the second quarter. We have continued to receive the form of bankers’ acceptance drafts from some customers, allowing us to settle some trade debts among our suppliers. The maturity dates of these bankers’ acceptance drafts are from 60 to 90 days, and we expect that our customers will pay off these drafts upon maturity. We expect to reach agreements with our major customers on shortened payment terms, which will relieve the capital constraints.

Recent Development

On April 14, 2010, we announced that we won two fracture proppant supply contracts with China’s Changqing Oilfield, a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC). The total value of the two contracts is approximately $1.3 million.

On April 28, 2010, we announced that we won two fracture proppant supply contracts totaling approximately $3.6 million with a U.S. importer and distributor. The contracts were signed on April 14, 2010 and April 24, 2010, respectively, between GengSheng's subsidiary, Zhengzhou Duesail Fracture Proppant Co, Ltd and AMSAT International, a U.S. importer with distribution channels in the United States. Pursuant to the contracts, GengSheng has shipped 1,008 metric tons of fracture proppant, and will ship another 8,028 metric tons on or before September 1, 2010.

Net Sales. Net sales decreased approximately $0.5 million, or approximately 4.3%, to approximately $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from approximately $12.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our sales revenue is currently generated from sales of our mineral-based refractory products, primarily our refractory products, industrial ceramic products and fracture proppant products. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decreased sales from our fracture proppant segment, particularly decreased export sales compared with the same period in 2009.

In our refractory segment, we sold approximately 20,600 metric tons of refractory products in the first quarter of 2010, compared with 26,200 metric tons sold in the same period of 2009. The revenue from our refractory products increased to approximately $10.4 million in the first quarter of 2010 from approximately $9.8 million in the same period of 2009. The sales increase was primarily due to an increase in average sales price, which reached approximately $500 per metric ton in the first quarter of 2010, representing a 34.9% increase compared with $375 per metric ton in the same period of 2009. The increase in average sales price was related to increased raw materials pricing and a shift in our revenue mix toward higher-end products compared with the year-ago period.

In our fracture proppant segment, we sold approximately 2,600 metric tons of fracture proppant products in the first quarter of 2010, compared with the 4,500 metric tons sold in the same period of 2009. Revenue from fracture proppant products was approximately $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2010, a decrease of 51.0% compared with approximately $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2009. Average selling price decreased to approximately $450 per metric ton in the first quarter of 2010, compared with approximately $540 per metric ton in the same period of 2009. The decreased sales quantity and average selling price were primarily due to a decrease in export sales of approximately $2.3 million. Export sales are typically comprised of higher-end products, which carry higher margins.

27


In our industrial ceramics segment, revenue was approximately $280,000 in the first quarter of 2010 compared with approximately $150,000 in the same period of 2009.

Cost of goods sold. Our cost of goods sold is primarily comprised of the cost of our raw materials, components, labor and overhead. Our cost of goods sold decreased approximately $0.8 million, or approximately 8.7%, to approximately $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from approximately $8.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009. As a percentage of net revenues, the cost of goods sold decreased by approximately 3.2% to 66.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2010 from 69.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in our cost of goods sold resulted from the decrease in sales of our products.

Gross profit. Our gross profit increased approximately $0.2 million, or approximately 5.8%, to approximately $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from approximately $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was 33.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared with 30.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The percentage increase was mainly due to the significant increase in average sales price and a greater revenue contribution from full service programs with higher margin during the period.

General administrative expenses. Our general administrative expenses consist of the costs associated with staff and support personnel who manage our business activities and professional fees paid to third parties. Our general administrative expenses increased approximately 29.3%, to approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from approximately $1.1 million for the same period in 2009. As a percentage of net revenues, administrative expenses increased to 12.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared with 8.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in general administrative expenses was largely attributable to a non-cash share based compensation expense of approximately $0.3 million, related to professional services, and an approximately $0.1 million increase in ordinary expenditure for the newly completed fine precision abrasive subsidiary.

Selling expenses. Our selling expenses include sales commissions, the cost of advertising and promotional materials, transportation expenses, benefits of sales personnel, after-sale support services and other sales related costs. Selling expenses were approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, flat compared with the three months ended March 31, 2009. As a percentage of net revenues, our selling expenses increased slightly, to 12.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to 12.3% for the same period in 2009.

Research and development cost. Our research and development cost increased to approximately $184,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared with approximately $4,000 for the same period in 2009. The increased investment in R&D was the result of expanded product development efforts related to our refractory and industrial ceramic segments. We had established a new government-supported monolithic refractory R&D center in the third quarter in 2009.

Government grant income. Our government grant income increased by approximately $34,000, to approximately $71,000 in the first three months in 2010, compared with approximately $37,000 in the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily due to $70,000 in commercial bank loan interest subsidies to Refractories.

Finance costs, net. Our finance costs increased by approximately $0.2 million, or 116.4%, to approximately $0.4 million in the three months end March 31, 2010, from approximately $0.2 million in the same period in 2009. As a percentage of net revenues, our finance cost was 3.4% in the first quarter in 2010 and 1.5% in the same period in 2009. The significant increase was primarily due to an increase of approximately $0.1million in discount interest costs arising from deferred factoring cost recognized according to their maturity, and an increase of approximately $0.1 million interest expense, due to an increase in short-term bank loans from domestic commercial banks in order to meet our working capital needs.

Income before income taxes and noncontrolling interest. Income before income taxes and noncontrolling interest was approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of 43.9% from approximately $1.0 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in sales, along with the share based compensation expense of approximately $0.3 million, higher research and development expense and finance cost during the quarter.

Income taxes. Our income taxes were approximately $163,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $117,000 or 253.6% from approximately $46,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, and the increase was primarily attributable to the tax rate changes in our fracture proppant subsidiary. Duesail, being a Foreign Invested Commercial Enterprise, had been exempted from enterprise income tax through the end of fiscal 2009. From fiscal 2010 through fiscal 2012, the subsidiary’s enterprise income tax rate will be 12.5% and will increase to 25% following 2012.

Net income. Our net income decreased approximately $0.6 million, or 59.4%, to approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from approximately $1.0 million for the same period of 2009. The decrease was attributable to the factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.5 million. The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

                                                                                                                                                   Three-month period ended March 31,  
                                                                                                                                                      2010     2009

Net cash provided by financing activities   893     5,016  
Net cash (outflow)/inflow   (471 )   2,872  

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities in the first three months ended March 31, 2010 totaled approximately $0.6 million, which is a decrease of $0.2 million from net cash used in operating activities of approximately $0.7 million in the same period in 2009. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to an approximately $3.2 million decrease in restricted cash, an approximately $1.2 million decrease in bills receivables, due to accelerated collection and commercial bank discount, offset by an approximately $4.3 million decrease in bills payables.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities in the first three months ended March 31, 2010 was approximately $813,000, which is a decrease of approximately $612,000 from net cash used in investing activities of approximately $1.4 million in the same period in 2009. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities for 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in payment to acquire property, plant and equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $0.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010, which is a decrease of approximately $4.1 million, compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $5.0 million in the same period of 2009. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was mainly due to the repayment of domestic bank loans of approximately $8.8 million, offset by an approximately $4.5 million increase in non-interest bank loans and other borrowings for financing activities with domestic commercial banks.

Loan Facilities

In the first three months ended March 31, 2010, we secured new loans totaling $3.7 million from banks for the working capital needs, and we repaid approximately $8.8 million in other loans during the period. As a result, the balance of all bank loans and borrowing as of March 31, 2010 was approximately $26.3 million, which includes $10.4 million short-term bank loans and $15.9 million of bank borrowing secured by bank deposits. During the next 12 months, we might need additional credit facilities from domestic commercial banks for to fund new production line construction and working capital need.

As of March 31, 2010, the maturities for all our bank loans and borrowings are as follows:

We have approximately $26.3 million of collateralized bank loans, which includes approximately $10.4 million of facility bank loans, maturing on or before the May 25, June 3, September 11, 2010, January 1, and January 31, 2011 respectively, and approximately $15.9 million of bank borrowing secured by approximately $14.5 million bank deposits. We will repay each loan when it matures with our working capital and the collateralized bank deposits. 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:

On May 25, 2009, our subsidiary, Refractories, entered into a short-term working capital loan agreement, with Bank of Communications of ZhengZhou (“BOCC”) whereby BOCC has agreed to loan approximately $1.2 million (RMB 8 million) to Refractories for a term of one year, at an interest rate of 5.310% per year on all outstanding principal.

On June 4, 2009, our subsidiary, Refractories, entered into a short-term working capital loan agreement, with Commercial Bank of ZhengZhou (“CBZ”) whereby CBZ has agreed to loan approximately $2.9 million (RMB 20 million) to Refractories for a term of one year, at an interest rate of 7.434% per year on all outstanding principal.

On September 11, 2009, our subsidiary, Refractories, entered into a short-term working capital loan agreement, with City Credit Cooperatives in Gongyi (“CCCG”) whereby CCCG has agreed to loan approximately $1.2 million (RMB 8 million) to Refractories for a term of one year, at an interest rate of 9.540% per year on all outstanding principal.

On November 26, 2009, our subsidiary, Refractories, entered into a short-term working capital loan agreement, with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank in Zhengzhou (“SPDB”) whereby SPDB has agreed to loan approximately $1.5 million (RMB 10 million) to Refractories for a term of 6 months, at an interest rate of 5.346% per year on all outstanding principal.

On February 1, 2010, our subsidiary, High-Temperature, entered into a short-term working capital loan agreement, with China Development Bank (“CDB”) whereby CDB has agreed to loan approximately $0.3 million (RMB 2 million) to High-Temperature for a term of one year, at an interest rate of 5.841% per year on all outstanding principal.

On February 1, 2010, our subsidiary, Duesail, entered into a short-term working capital loan agreement, with China Development Bank (“CDB”) whereby CDB has agreed to loan approximately $0.4 million (RMB 3 million) to High-Temperature for a term of one year, at an interest rate of 5.841% per year on all outstanding principal.

As of March 31, 2010, we had another approximately $15.9 million bank borrowings, which were collateralized by bank deposits, in the Commercial Bank of ZhengZhou, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, Guangdong Development Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Commercial Bank of Luoyang and Agricultural Bank of China, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Our estimates form the basis for our judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, could materially impact the condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe that our critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

30


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 collectability 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.

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.

31


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, 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.

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.

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. 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. 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.

32


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 15(b) to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this quarterly 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 March 31, 2010     As of December 31, 2009  
    (Unaudited)     (Audited)  
    Carrying           Carrying     Fair  
    amount     Fair value     amount     value  
                         
Collateralized bank loans $  26,259,300   $  26,630,665   $  28,459,800   $  29,339,460  

The fair value of collateralized borrowings is based on our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

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.

33


As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Mr. Shunqing Zhang, and our interim Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Hongfeng Jin, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2010. Based on our assessment, we determined that, as of March 31, 2010, 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 March 31, 2010. Based on that evaluation, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Jin concluded that as of March 31, 2010, 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 Quarterly 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 March 31, 2010. 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 March 31, 2010.

Auditor Attestation

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q 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 quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

From inception through the three months ended March 31, 2010, 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.
