China SLP Filtration Technology, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended December 31, 2010
(Unaudited - Expressed in US dollars except indicated otherwise)    

 
1.  Nature of Business and Organization History
 
China SLP Filtration Technology, Inc., formerly named Perpetual Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in March 2007. Prior to a reverse merger completed on February 12, 2010, we had no operations or substantial assets.

Hong Hui Holdings Limited (“Hong Hui”) was formed in January 2010 in the British Virgin Islands as a holding company by the shareholders of Technic International Inc. (“Technic”), a Hong Kong company. On formation, each shareholder transferred its ownership of Technic to Hong Hui. This acquisition was accounted for as a transfer of entities under common control.

Technic International Ltd. (“Technic”) was incorporated in September 2005 under the laws of Hong Kong as a holding company that owned a 100% equity interest in Nanhai Jinlong Nonwoven Co. Ltd. (“Jin Long”) located in Foshan City, Guangdong Province, the People’s Republic of China (“China”). Jin Long was established in 2000 under the laws of China. In September 2005, Jin Long became the wholly-owned foreign enterprise (“WOFE). In April 2009, Jin Long changed its name to Foshan S.L.P. Special Materials Co., Ltd. (“Foshan”).

On February 12, 2010, we entered into a share exchange agreement with the owners of all of the outstanding shares of Hong Hui.   Under the terms of the share exchange agreement, we issued and delivered to the Hong Hui stockholders a total of 14,510,204 (72,551,020 pre-split) shares of our common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Hong Hui.  As a result of the share exchange or reverse merger, Hong Hui became our wholly-owned subsidiary. The transaction is accounted for as a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or other intangible was recorded. The recapitalization is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination.

On March 24, 2010, the Company effected a 1 for 5 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. The effect of the reverse split is retrospectively showed in all periods presented.

Through Foshan, we manufacture, market and sell  nonwoven fabrics in China.
 
2.  Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). They do not include all the disclosures required for annual financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles. However, these interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Company’s most recent annual financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2010.

5.  Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management periodically analyzes the composition of the accounts receivable, aging of the receivables and historical bad debt to evaluate the adequacy of the reserve for uncollectible accounts.

The Company has another short-term loan from Standard Chartered Bank in the amount of $908,775 (RMB 6,000,000) for a term of 90 days. The loan carries an interest rate of 6.6% and requires the Company to deposit RMB 3,000,000 to the bank as guarantee.  The loan is repayable on March 7, 2011.

12.  Other payable to related party:

Other payable to related party accounts for the amount of $920,148 the Company borrowed from its CEO. This loan is non-interest bearing and is repayable on demand.
 
13.   Convertible Note Payable

On February 12, 2010, immediately following the closing of a share exchange agreement, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with certain accredited investors for the sale of convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $4,140,000 and warrants.  In addition to the finance cost of $730,187 which is accounted for as debt discount, 653,510 common shares were issued to placement agents.  The notes have the following material terms:

12

 
Maturity:   The notes mature in one year.  If principal is not paid on maturity then 150% of the principal amount shall be payable.

Interest:      10% per annum and payable on the last day of a quarter. The interest will increase to 15% if there is a default. Interest expense of $104,351 was recorded and paid for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

Conversion:     In the event of the closing of any equity or series of related financings resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of at least $20,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall be approved in writing by the holder(s) of notes evidencing at least 50% of the principal amount of the notes then outstanding), a “qualified financing,”   prior to the maturity date of the notes, the principal amount of the notes converts automatically into the securities sold in such financing at a 65% discount to the offering price of such securities.

Besides the stated interest at 10% per annum, interest expenses are recorded to accrete the note to its principal balance of $4,140,000 at its due date on February 12, 2011.  Accretion on interest expenses amounted to $609,900 for the three months ended December 31, 2010.   

Allocation of the proceeds:

After allocating $1,052,000 to the initial fair value of warrants derivative liabilities, and agent fee of $730,187, the remaining proceeds received from the convertible note of $3,409,813 were allocated to placement agent common stock and convertible note payable based on their relative fair value. This results in a debt discount of $2,439,743 from the face amount of the convertible note payable. The discount is being amortized over the life of the note to accrete the note to its redemption value.  The proceeds allocation is as follows:

  $ 4,140,000  
Less:
       
Commission paid to placement agent
    404,000  
Legal fee
    326,187

    $ 2,439,743

Convertible notes payable, net of discount, at the transaction date was $1,700,257.
 
As of December 31, 2010, after a note discount amortization of $2,134,650, net convertible notes payable was accreted to $3,834,907.

14.   Accounting for Warrants

In conjunction with issuing the convertible notes, the Company agreed to issue common stock warrants to the convertible note investors in the debt financing transaction described in note 13. The warrants issued have the following material terms:
 
The warrants are exercisable at any time during a five-year period commencing on the closing of a “financing,” which means the first sale (or series of related sales) by us of stock (or debt or equity securities convertible into stock), in a capital raising transaction, occurring after the maturity date (or the date the notes become due pursuant to a default, if earlier) with aggregate gross proceeds of at least $20,000,000.   The warrants cannot be exercised if no financing is consummated within a five-year period after the issue date and become void if the notes automatically convert into common stock.

Number of Shares:  The warrants represent the right to purchase 8% of the total shares of common stock outstanding (on a fully-diluted basis) immediately after the closing of the financing.

Exercise Price:   The warrants are exercisable at the price for which the shares of common stock (or common stock equivalent if derivative securities are sold) are sold in the financing.  If the financing includes more than one type of security, the exercise price shall equal the lowest price per share of common stock or common stock equivalent included in the financing.

At the time of the notes issuance, the Company also issued non-conversion warrants to the placement agent to purchase 5% of the Company’s common stock underlying the warrants issued to the convertible notes investors, exercisable at the same price at which the investors’ warrants become exercisable.

The Company analyzed the warrants issued in connection of the issuance of the notes and the conversion features embedded in the notes to assess whether they meet the definition of a derivative under the guidance set forth by FASB ASC 815 (SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”) and, thereof, the applicability of the accounting rules in accordance to FASB ASC 815 to treat the conversion option and the warrants as derivative liabilities.

Under FASB ASC 815-10-15, a financial instrument is a derivative if it meets one of the following three criteria: i) it requires or permits net settlement; ii) there is a market mechanism for the net settlement; and iii) the net settlement can be fulfilled by delivery of assets that are readily convertible to cash. Management concluded that the conversion option embedded in the notes does not meet the above criteria and therefore is not a derivative.

14


Since the warrants permit the holder to perform a cashless exercise and receive a net number of shares of the Company’s common stock at the time of exercise, these warrants meet the definition of derivative instrument under ASC 815-10-15-83.

Management also evaluated whether the warrants meet the scope exception set forth by FASB ASC 815-40 (“Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock”), which is that contracts issued or held by the reporting entity that are both (1) indexed to its own stock and (2) classified in stockholders’ equity shall not be considered to be derivative instruments for purposes of FASB ASC 815.  The provisions in FASB ASC 815-40 apply to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, as defined by FASB ASC 815 and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock. Because the exercise price of the warrants is not fixed and will be determined by the price at which the Company completes a Financing prior to the time the warrants become exercisable, the warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s common stock. The exceptions provided under FASB ASC 815-40-15 are not available; therefore, management determined the warrants should be accounted for as a derivative liability. The terms of the placement agent non-conversion warrants have terms identical to the investors’ warrants and are therefore accounted as a derivative liability.

Derivative instruments are initially measured and recorded at their fair value and marked-to-market at each report date until they are exercised or expire, with any change in the fair value charged or credited to income.
 
As a result of adopting accounting treatment according to ASC 815-40, investor and placement agent warrants are recorded as derivative liabilities and valued at $1,052,000 using a binomial option pricing model on the date of issuance. Because there was no trade market for the Company’s stock, management used substitute volatility in the initial and subsequent measuring of the fair market value of the warrants issued. Management re-measured the fair market value based on the adjusted volatility of publicly traded stock of three companies with business and financial size comparable to the Company’s and the remaining term of the warrants.

As of December 31, 2010, these warrants were re-valued at $548,000 based on factors including the probability of the exercisability of the warrants, changes in the estimate of volatility, and remaining life of these warrants. The revaluation inputs are provided in the table as follows:

15.   Equity and stock option based compensation

2010 Stock Incentive Plan

In September 2010, the Board of Directors adopted the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (“2010 Plan”) under which it may grant incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights to eligible employees, non-employee directors, or consultants.  Stock options granted generally have a 5-year life and vest pursuant to terms set forth under employment agreement. Under the 2010 Plan, stock options of 400,000 were granted with exercise price equal to the Company’s intended initial public offering price and will be vested over a three year period. The vesting period starts at August 1, 2010 under the compensation terms of the employment contract.
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under provisions of FASB ASC 718 – Accounting for Stock Compensation which establishes standards for the accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant), net of estimated forfeitures.
 
The fair value of the employee stock options granted is estimated using a binomial pricing model at the grant date with input as follows:

In addition, one of our independent directors was granted 30,000 shares of restricted common stock under the Company’s 2010 Plan, of which 20,000 shares vest over a period of two years.  At the grant date, the fair value of these restricted shares issued was measured at estimated $6 per share. As of December 31, 2010, shares of 15,854 were not subject to forfeiture, of which 2,520 shares were recognized as shared-based compensation expense at an estimated fair market value of $6 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2010.
 
Total stock-based expense was recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as follows:
 
  $ 136,206  
Restricted stock
    15,120  
    $ 151,326  
 
16.   Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders as adjusted for the effect of dilutive common equivalent shares, if any, by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares consist of the common shares issuable upon the conversion of the convertible note (using the if-converted method) and common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants (using the treasury stock method).   Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Using if-converted method, the Company’s earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2010 is anti-dilutive.

 17.   Income Taxes

USA
 
The Company and its subsidiary and branch divisions are subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in, or derived, from the tax jurisdiction in which they operate. As the Company had no income generated in the United States, there was no tax expense or tax liability due to the Internal Revenue Service of the United States as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010.
 
BVI
 
Hong Hui is incorporated under the International Business Companies Act of the British Virgin Islands and accordingly, is exempted from payment of British Virgin Island’s income taxes.
 
PRC
 
Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Laws, the prevailing statutory rate of enterprise income tax is 25% for Foshan. For 2008 and 2009, Foshan enjoyed a tax free holiday for two years. From January 2010 onwards, Foshan is taxed at 25% of net income except for the year 2010 and 2011 during which there is a 50% discount on income tax.
 
The tax provision was $88,618 and $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  The Company has recorded zero deferred tax assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, net of tax allowance, because all other significant differences in tax basis and financial statement amounts are permanent differences.
 
We follow the guidance in FASB ASC 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.  We have not taken any uncertain tax positions on any of our open income tax returns filed through the period ended December 31, 2010.  Our methods of accounting are based on established income tax principles and are properly calculated and reflected within our income tax returns.  In addition, we have timely filed extension of income tax returns in all applicable jurisdictions in which we believe we are required to make an income tax return filing.
 
We re-assess the validity of our conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis to determine if facts or circumstances have arisen that might cause us to change our judgment regarding the likelihood of a tax position’s sustainability under audit.  We have determined that there were no uncertain tax positions for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

All of the Company’s income before income taxes is from PRC sources. Actual income tax expense reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income differ from the amounts computed by applying the PRC statutory income tax rate of 12.5% (50% discount of 25%) to income before income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2010 for the followings reasons:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
 
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of our management, and involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions, that, if they ever materialize or prove incorrect, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “targets,” “optimistic,” “intend,” “aim,” “will” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including statements regarding new and existing products, technologies and opportunities; statements regarding market and industry segment growth and demand and acceptance of new and existing products; any projections of sales, earnings, revenue, margins or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; uncertainties related to conducting business in China; any statements of belief or intention; any of the factors and risks mentioned in the “Risk Factors” sections of our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 12, 2010, and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information available to us on the date of this report. We assume no obligation and do not intend to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

Introduction

This section discusses and analyzes the results of operations and financial condition of China SLP Filtration Technology, Inc., formerly known as Perpetual Technologies, Inc., (“we,” “us,” or the “Company”) which is the ultimate parent company of Foshan S.L.P. Special Materials Co., Ltd. (“Foshan”), a China-based operating company located in Foshan, Guangdong Province in the People’s Republic of China.

On February 12, 2010, we acquired control of Foshan in a share exchange transaction which closed on that date.

In the share exchange or “reverse merger” we acquired control of Hong Hui Holdings Limited (“Hong Hui”), a British Virgin Islands company and the owner of all of the stock of Technic International Limited (“Technic”), a Hong Kong holding company which in turn is the owner of all of the equity of Foshan, by issuing to the Hong Hui stockholders an aggregate of 14,510,204 shares of our common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of Hong Hui.

The transaction is accounted for as a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or other intangible has been recorded.  The recapitalization is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination.   Beginning from February 12, 2010, the operating results of Foshan are consolidated in the Company’s financial results for that period.

Foshan is engaged in the manufacture and sale of  non-wovens.

Non-woven fabrics are broadly defined as sheet or web structures bonded together by entangling fiber or filaments (and by perforating films) mechanically, thermally or chemically. They are flat, porous sheets that are made directly from separate fibers or from molten plastic or plastic film. They are not made by weaving or knitting and do not require converting the fibers to yarn.

Our major market is the Chinese market. We sell products to industrial customers in China.  In recent years, our products have been successfully launched in the European, North American and South East Asian markets.

Currently, our major products are spun-bond, thermal calendaring and needle-punched industrial non-woven PET (polyester) and PP (polypropylene) fabrics. These products are used as filtration media and infrastructure engineering material, among other uses.

We currently operate three spun-bond production lines. Two lines are spun-bond, thermal calendaring production lines with a total annual capacity of 4,000 tons of spun-bond polyester filament thermal calendaring non-woven.  In February 2009, we added the third line, spun-bond needle-punching production line with an annual capacity of 4,000 tons of spun-bond polyester filament, needle-punched non-woven fabric.

19

 
We recently developed a continuous filament, spun-bond, needle-punched manufacturing process to manufacture polyphenylene sulfide fiber, or PPS, a specialized type of high temperature resistant non-woven fabric and intend to begin commercial production of PPS using our proprietary manufacturing process in 2011.  We have applied for a process patent in the PRC for this process (Patent No. PRC: 201010102660.2) and we intend to apply for a process patent in North America and Europe.  In comparison to other filtration materials currently available, we believe that our non-woven fabric will be stronger, have lower production and operating costs, and will have higher filtration efficiency.  Although prototype bag filters made of our PPS product have been tested in laboratories, they have not been tested on site by any potential end user and we do not expect to develop prototype products for testing by any potential end user prior to commence commercial production of PPS products. Our new PPS nonwoven fabric may never achieve broad market acceptance, due to any number of factors, including that the product may not be as effective as our initial testing indicates and competitive material may be introduced which renders our PPS product too expensive or obsolete.
 
On March 24, 2010, the Company effected a 1 for 5 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. The effect of the reverse split is retrospectively shown in all periods presented.

On February 12, 2010, immediately following the reverse merger, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with certain accredited investors for the sale of convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $4,140,000 and warrants (which are exercisable only in certain circumstances), with net proceeds of $3.4 million after finance costs.  The notes require quarterly interest payments at a rate of 10% per annum.

Recent Development

On January 31, 2011, we entered into note extension agreements with each holder of our outstanding convertible notes (except for Lumen Capital LP who holds a convertible note in the principal amount of $100,000) to extend the maturity date of the notes from February 12, 2011 to June 30, 2011.  We repaid Lumen Capital the principal amount of $100,000 on February 11, 2011.

We intend for this discussion to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles affect our financial statements.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and accompanying notes as of September 30, 2010, and for the year then ended, and the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Net Sales

Net sales consisted of revenue from sales of needle punched non-woven product and thermal calendared products. Our net sales for the three month period ended December 31, 2010 were $5,780,973, an increase of $556,012, or 11%, from $5,224,961 for the same period of the prior year.  Thermal calendared non-woven products contributed 10% of the increase in total revenue and needle-punched non-woven fabric contributed 1% to the increase in total revenue.  The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the price increase on both our  thermal calendared products and needle-punched products sold to domestic customers which price increases ranged from 3% to 22% and were put in place in order to pass on the higher costs of raw materials in this period.  However, as a result of the price increase, domestic sales volume declined by 6%.  Demand for our products from overseas continued to rise reflecting the global economic recovery. Our international sales during this period increased 41% in volume and 42% in sales, respectively.
 
For the three month period ended December 31, 2010, sales of thermal calendared products increased by $526,938, or 18%, from the same period of the prior year.  Domestic sales volume of thermal calendared products decreased by 4% and international sales increased by 15%.

Sales of needle-punched products increased by $29,085, or 0.6%. Domestic sales volume decreased by 8% which decrease was offset by increased international sales. Our price increase for our needle-punched products has had a negative impact on our sales to smaller sized domestic customers which were less receptive to our price increase.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales principally consists of the cost of raw materials, labor and manufacturing overhead expenses.

Cost of sales for the three month period ended December 31, 2010 was $4,223,562, an increase of $612,474, or 17%, from $3,611,088 for the same period in 2009.

Raw material cost increased to 55% of net sales for the three month period ended December 31, 2010, compared to 47% of net sales for the same period of the prior year, reflecting a mix of more expensive raw materials associated with sales. 98% percent of our raw materials consist of polyester, the price of which fluctuates with the price of oil. During the three month period ended December 31, 2010, the cost of raw materials increased 17% from the same period of the prior year. The increase of our cost of sales was due principally from the increase in the cost of raw materials.   

Labor cost accounted for 1% of net sales for the three month period ended December 31, 2010, the same level as the same period in 2009.

Overhead expenses were 19% of net sales for the three month period ended December 31, 2010, compared to 18% of net sales for the same period in 2009. As a percentage of net sales, overhead expenses slightly increased due to lower capacity utilization and sales volume, compared to the same period in 2009.

Gross Profit

Gross profit represents net sales less cost of sales.  Gross profit for the three month period ended December 31, 2010 was $1,557,411, a decrease of $56,462, or 4%, from $1,613,873 for the same period in 2009.  As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 27% for the three month period ended December 31, 2010, compared to 31% for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in our gross profit was due primarily to the increase in cost of raw materials as a percentage of net sales.   

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling expenses include salaries, advertising expenses, rent, and all expenses directly related to selling product.  General expenses include general operating expenses that are directly related to the general operation of the company.  Administrative expenses include executive salaries and other expenses related to the overall administration of the company.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended December 31, 2010 were $812,636, an increase of $538,613 or 197%, compared to $274,023 for the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily due to $246,149 in legal and documentation fees related to the Company’s planned initial public offering, investor relation consulting fees of $70,500, and fees paid to our auditors of $57,984, $151,329 in stock-based employee compensation, and payroll increases.
 
Other Income and Expenses

Other expenses primarily consisted of interest expense while other income was primarily interest income and change in fair value of warrants.

Interest expense for the three month period ended December 31, 2010 was $777,697 compared to $58,909 for the same period in 2009.  Interest expense as a percentage of sales increased to 13% for the three month period ended December 31, 2010, from 1% for the same period of the prior year.  The increase in interest expense was mainly attributed to adoption of derivative accounting rules under FASB ASC 815-40 to record $4,140,000 of convertible loan notes.  These accounting rules require us to accrete interest expense, in the amount of $609,900 for the period, based on the term of the notes and the note discount. Excluding the derivative accounting driven interest expense, our interest expense was $167,797 for this three month period, an increase of $108,888, or 185%, from the same period of the prior year, primarily due to interest paid to the bridge-loan creditors.

At December 31, 2010, under the requirements of FASB ASC 815, management re-measured the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the sale of convertible notes to bridge loan creditors on February 12, 2010. This re-measurement resulted in a decrease of the fair value of the warrants and accordingly a decrease of the value of the warrants liabilities and reported as other income in amount of $191,000.

Income Tax

USA
 
The Company and its subsidiary and branch divisions are subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in, or derived, from the tax jurisdiction in which they operate. As the Company had no income generated in the United States, there was no tax expense or tax liability due to the Internal Revenue Service of the United States as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010.
 
BVI
 
Hong Hui is incorporated under the International Business Companies Act of the British Virgin Islands and accordingly is exempt from payment of British Virgin Island’s income taxes.
 
PRC
 
Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Laws, the prevailing statutory rate of enterprise income tax is 25% for Foshan SLP. For 2008 and 2009, Foshan SLP enjoyed a tax free holiday for two years. From January 2010 onwards, Foshan SLP is taxed at 25% of net income except for the 2010 and 2011 years where there is a 50% discount on income tax.
 
The current year tax provision was $88,618 for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  The Company has recorded zero deferred tax assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010 net of tax allowance because all other significant difference in tax basis and financial statement amounts are permanent differences. Valuation allowance is applied to deferred tax assets derived from immaterial temporary difference in tax and financial basis financial statements.
 
Net Income

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $57,472, a decrease of $1,223,587, or 96%, from net income of $1,281,059 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was mainly attributed to significant increases of general and administrative expenses related to the Companys planned initial public offering, an increase in finance costs, and the adoption of FASB ASC 815 accounting rules to treat the warrants issued in connection with privately placed bridge loan notes.

    86,770       (269 )
                 
Net cash inflow
    (22,213 )     1,227,039  
 
We finance our business with cash generated from operations and use short-term bank loans to fund capital expenditures.

Working capital consists mainly of cash, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers and inventory. Cash, inventory and accounts receivable account for the majority of our working capital.

Our working capital requirements may be influenced by many factors, including cash flow, competition, relationships with suppliers, and the availability of credit facilities and financing alternatives, none of which can be predicted with certainty.

Our investment in new production facilities to manufacture PPS filtration products consumed a large amount of the proceeds obtained from bank loans and the issuance of convertible notes. This capital expenditure to a large extent affected our liquidity. We will need additional capital in order to expand our business.

At December 31, 2010, we had outstanding bank loans in the total amount of $3.94 million (RMB26 million), namely,  a loan in the amount of $3,029,247 (RMB20 million) with Agriculture Bank of China Foshan Branch, and a loan in the amount of $908,775 (RMB6 million) with Standard Chartered Bank.   The loan with Agriculture Bank of China is payable in June 2011 and the loan with Standard Chartered Bank is repayable in February 2011. 
  
On February 12, 2010, we completed a financing transaction in which we received net proceeds of $3,409,813 through a private placement of convertible notes and warrants to certain accredited investors.
 
The notes mature on February 11, 2011 and the principal amount of $4.14 million is repayable on its maturity date if the note holders do not extend the maturity date.  On January 31, 2011, we entered into note extension agreements with each holder (except for Lumen Capital LP who holds a convertible note in the principal amount of $100,000) of our outstanding convertible notes to extend the maturity date of the notes from February 12, 2011 to June 30, 2011.   On February 11, 2011, we repaid the note held by Lumen Capital.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $53,771, compared to $1.4 million for the same period of the prior year. The decreased operating cash inflow resulted primarily from a decrease in net income and an increase in advances to suppliers in the amount of $1.3 million, which was offset by an increase in non-cash expenses.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities for three months ended December 31, 2010 was $0.55 million, compared to cash inflow from proceeds collected from related party receivable of $0.16 million for the same period of the prior year. The increased cash used from investing activities during the three month period of the current year was primarily attributed to capital expenditures on building up a new PPS manufacturing facility.

23

 
Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three month period ended December 31, 2010 was approximately $0.39 million, compared to $0.33 million of net cash used in financing activities for the same period of the prior year. The increase was from the cash received from a related party loan.

Future Cash Commitments

We have an ambitious business expansion plan for our PPS products. The PPS projects require significant capital expenditures. We financed the capital expenditures with short-term loans from banks and planned public equity offerings to raise additional capital to fund our capital projects.  We expect our working capital needs can be met by cash generated from operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Our financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting policies which require management to make significant estimates and judgments. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” We believe that the following paragraphs reflect the more critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations:

Method of Accounting

We maintain our general ledger and journals with the accrual method of accounting for financial reporting purposes. Accounting policies adopted by us conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and have been consistently applied in the presentation of financial statements, which are compiled on the accrual basis of accounting.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Economic and political risks

Our operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
 
Our operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. Our results may be adversely affected by changes in political and social conditions in the PRC and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Revenue recognition

Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold recognized upon the delivery of goods to customers. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, and the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectible.

Land use rights
 
Land use rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided over a lease term of 50 years using the straight-line method.

24

Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of plant and equipment are as follows:
  
   
20 years
 
Machinery and equipment
   
10 years
 
Office equipment
   
5 years
 
Motor vehicles
   
10 years
 
    
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The long-lived assets held and used by us are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets.
 
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonable likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition.

25

 
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Increases in the price of crude oil have a negative impact on the cost of our raw materials.   Given the recent rise in the price of crude oil and the fact that the global economy is recovering, we expect that the price of our raw materials will stay at relatively high levels due to the relatively high price of crude oil which may adversely affect our gross margin for our PET products as our ability to pass on the increased material costs to customers is limited.

During 2010, all of our raw materials were purchased in the PRC.  Because the raw materials for our new PPS products are expected to be sourced from the United States and Japan, we anticipate that, beginning in 2011, over 50% of our raw materials will be purchased from suppliers in the United States and Japan through their distributors in China.  Accordingly, changes in the value of the RMB relative to the dollar and yen will affect our production costs and gross profit in 2011. However, we believe the RMB will continue to appreciate against the dollar based on the increasing pressure from the US government and so the impact of foreign currency conversion will be favorable to us.  
 
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information that is 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 our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including Mr. Jie Li, our Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Eric Gan our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2010.  Based on that evaluation, Mr. Li and Mr. Gan concluded that as of December 31, 2010, and as of the date that the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was completed, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in that certain “significant deficiencies” existed related to (i) the U.S. GAAP expertise of our internal accounting staff, and (ii) our internal audit function.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief executive officer, identified a number of “significant deficiencies” in the process of preparing our financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 as described above.  

Because our current accounting department is relatively new to U.S. GAAP and the related internal control procedures required of U.S. public companies, our management has determined that they require additional training and assistance in U.S. GAAP matters and the SEC regulations. Management has determined that our internal audit function is also significantly deficient due to insufficient qualified resources to perform internal audit functions.
 
In order to correct the foregoing significant deficiencies, we are taking the following remediation measures:

 
·
We recently hired Eric Gan as our new Chief Financial Officer;

 
·
We are arranging necessary training for our accounting department staff;

 
·
We plan to engage external professional accounting or consultancy firms to assist us in the preparation of the US GAAP accounts; and

 
·
We remain committed to the establishment of effective internal audit functions.

We believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the significant deficiencies identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.
