PART I

ITEM 1. Business.

Overview of Our Business

We are engaged in the manufacture of graphite-based products in the People’s Republic of China. Our products are used in the manufacturing process for other products, particularly non-ferrous metals and steel, and are incorporated in various types of products or processes, such as atomic reactors. We currently manufacture and sell primarily the following types of graphite products:

	Graphite electrodes;

	fine grain graphite; and

	high purity graphite.

Based on information we receive about our industry in the course of our business, we believe that we are the largest wholesale supplier of fine grain graphite and high purity graphite in China and one of China’s largest producers and suppliers of graphite products overall. Approximately 40% of our products are sold directly to end users in China, primarily consisting of steel manufacturers. All other sales are made to over 200 distributors located throughout 22 provinces in China. Our distributors then sell our products to end customers both in China and in foreign countries, including, among others, Japan, the United States, Spain, England, South Korea and India. In 2010, our revenues and profits improved from 2009 due to an increase in demand for our products due to improved market conditions, increased sales prices and an increase in our production capacity, as discussed in greater detail below under the heading “Results of Operations” in Item 2.

Our Growth Strategy

In 2011, our primary strategy is to double our current production capacity following the interior construction of, and installation of equipment, in our new facility, to seek to acquire and vertically integrate a local natural graphite mine, and to continue to improve gross profits by further adjusting our product mix toward higher margin products. Our long-term strategy is to:

·	initiate production and sales of ultra-high graphite electrodes with a diameter ranging from 600 to 800mm;

·	increase production capacity of our existing fine grain graphite and high-purity graphite products;

·	vertically integrate raw material providers with the objective of becoming a vertically integrated leader in the Chinese graphite industry;

·	improve our gross profits by continuing to focus on higher margin products such as ultra high graphite electrodes, fine grain graphite and high purity graphite; and

·	develop isostatic graphite, including solar, nuclear and semiconductor products.

-2-

We believe that the profit margin on isostatic graphite products would be significantly higher than the profit margins of our current line of products. There are currently 13 nuclear power plants in China, with 25 more plants currently under construction. Each of China’s 13 operating nuclear power reactors requires at least 10,000 tons of nuclear graphite every year. These power plants currently purchase their nuclear graphite from manufacturers in foreign countries, including Japan, Germany and the United States, which involves greater costs than purchasing from local Chinese companies. We know of only one graphite manufacturer in China that currently produces nuclear graphite that meets the specifications of these power plants. Only graphite rods with a diameter of more than 840 millimeters and a purity of more than 99.9999% may be used in nuclear power reactors. To date, we have produced only samples that meet these standards. The largest graphite that we currently produce in large quantities that contains such a high level of purity has a diameter of 600 millimeters.

In January 2011, we completed the exterior construction of a production plant, whose annual production capacity is expected to be 30,000 tons. We intend to start installation and shakedown testing of a 4200-ton compressor and 36 annular kilns in this facility in the near future. The new facilities are expected to begin production by August 2011, subject to potential further delays in the installation of equipment, the hiring of additional employees, orders from customers, or other delays involved in construction, installation or production in a new facility. The new plant is expected to be used to manufacture a new product, ultra-high graphite electrodes with a diameter ranging from 600 to 800mm, along with existing fine grain and high-purity graphite products. The industrial applications of the products to be manufactured in the new facility include aerospace, defense, automotive and clean tech end products currently carries the greatest demand of all forms of graphite. We believe that this expansion will make us China's first domestic producer of 800 mm diameter ultra-high electrodes and will further strengthen the Company's leading position in China's fine grain graphite market. After the expansion, the Company is expected to have a 60,000 ton production capacity. The Company is currently operating at 100% production capacity of 30,000 tons annually.

Some of our expansion plans, including the expansion of our product offerings to include nuclear, solar and semiconductor products and pursuing an acquisition, would likely require us to obtain additional funds from equity or debt markets, or to borrow additional funds from local banks. We currently have no commitments from any financing source. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise any funds on terms favorable to us, or at all. In the event that we issue shares of equity or convertible securities, holdings of our existing stockholders would be diluted. In addition, there is no assurance that we will successfully manage and integrate the production and sale of new products.

Organizational Structure

We were incorporated in Nevada on February 13, 2003 as Achievers Magazine Inc. On December 17, 2007, we completed a reverse merger transaction with Talent International Investment Limited, or Talent, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on February 1, 2007. Following the reverse merger, our name was changed to China Carbon Graphite Group, Inc.

As a result of the reverse merger, we wholly own Talent. Talent wholly owns Xinghe Yongle Carbon Co., Ltd., or Yongle, a wholly foreign owned enterprise organized under the laws of the PRC on September 18, 2007. On December 14, 2007, Yongle executed a series of exclusive contractual agreements with Xinghe Xingyong Carbon Co., Ltd., or Xingyong, an operating company organized under the laws of the PRC. Xingyong was founded in 1986 as a state-owned company and converted into a private enterprise in 2001.

PRC law currently has limits on foreign ownership of certain companies. To comply with these foreign ownership restrictions, we operate our businesses in the PRC through Xingyong. Xingyong has the licenses and approvals necessary to operate its business in the PRC. We have contractual arrangements with Xingyong and its stockholders pursuant to which we have the ability to substantially influence Xingyong’s daily operations and financial affairs, appoint its senior executives and approve all matters requiring stockholder approval. As a result of these contractual arrangements, we are able to control Xingyong. Consequently, we consolidate Xingyong’s financial statements with our financial statements. There are certain risks related to these contractual obligations. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Capital Structure” in Item 1A below.

Xingyong’s principal stockholder is Dengyong Jin, our former chief executive officer who, together with family members, controls Sincere Investment (PTC), Ltd., which owns approximately 47% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

On December 14, 2007, we entered into the following contractual arrangements:

-3-

Business Operations Agreement

Pursuant to this agreement, Xingyong is obligated to pay between 80% and 100% of its net income to Yongle, subject to annual negotiations between the parties. In each of 2008. 2009 and 2010, Xingyong paid 100% of its net income to Yongle. In order to guarantee Xingyong’s performance under this agreement, the stockholders of Xingyong agreed to obtain Yongle’s written consent prior to allowing Xingyong to enter into any transaction, which may materially affect Xingyong’s assets, obligations, rights or operations.

Option Agreement

Pursuant to the option agreement, Yongle was granted an exclusive option to purchase all of the capital stock of Xingyong at the lowest price permitted by PRC laws applicable at the time of the exercise of such option. Yongle may exercise such option, in part or whole, at any time until December 2017.

Share Pledge Agreement

Under the share pledge agreement, the stockholders of Xingyong pledged all of their equity interests in Xingyong to Yongle to guarantee Xingyong’s performance of its obligations under all other related agreements by and between Yongle and Xingyong. None of these shares may be transferred without the permission of Yongle.

Exclusive Technical and Consulting Services Agreement

Under the exclusive technical and consulting services agreement between Yongle and Xingyong, Yongle agreed to provide certain technical consulting and services to Xingyong, and Xingyong agreed not to accept any technical consulting services from any third party without the consent of Yongle. In addition, Yongle is the sole and exclusive owner of all rights, title and interests arising from the performance of the agreement.

Organizational Structure Chart

The following chart sets forth our organizational structure:

Industrial Uses of Graphite

Graphite is considered to be the purest form of carbon. We manufacture our graphite products by using a high temperature process whereby the heavy hydrocarbons are broken down into simpler molecules. The resulting product provides us with a pure grade of carbon, which we use to make our products. Graphite is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity and has a high melting temperature of 3,500 degrees Celsius. It is extremely resistant to acid, chemically inert and highly refractory. The utility of graphite is dependent largely upon its type.

There are three principal types of natural graphite, each occurring in different types of ore deposit:

	Crystalline flake graphite, or flake graphite, occurs as isolated, flat, plate-like particles with hexagonal edges if unbroken and when broken the edges can be irregular or angular.

	Amorphous graphite occurs as fine particles and is the result of thermal metamorphism of coal, the last stage of coalification, and is sometimes called meta-anthracite. Very fine flake graphite is sometimes called amorphous in the trade.

	Lump graphite, or vein graphite, occurs in fissure veins or fractures and appears as massive platy intergrowths of fibrous or acicular crystalline aggregates, and is probably hydrothermal in origin.

-5-

All grades of graphite, especially high grade amorphous and crystalline graphite that remains suspended in oil are used as lubricants. Graphite has an extraordinarily low co-efficient of friction under most working conditions. This property is invaluable in lubricants. It diminishes friction and tends to keep the moving surface cool. Dry graphite as well as graphite mixed with grease and oil is utilized as a lubricant for heavy and light bearings. Graphite grease is used as a heavy-duty lubricant where high temperatures may tend to remove the grease.

The flake type graphite is found to possess extremely low resistivity to electrical conductance. The electrical resistivity decreases with the increase of flaky particles. The bulk density decreases progressively as the particles become flakier. Because of this property in flake graphite, it is used in the manufacture of carbon electrodes, plates and brushes required in the electrical industry and dry cell batteries. Flake graphite has been replaced to some extent by synthetic, amorphous, crystalline graphite and acetylene black in the manufacture of plates and brushes.

Flake graphite containing 80-85% carbon is used for crucible manufacture; 93% carbon and above is preferred for the manufacture of lubricants, and graphite with 40 to 70% carbon is utilized for foundry facings. Natural graphite, refined or otherwise pure, having carbon content not less than 95% is used in the manufacture of carbon rods for dry battery cells.

Currently, artificially prepared graphite has replaced natural graphite to a great extent. Artificial graphite is prepared by heating a mixture of anthracite, high grade coal or petroleum coke, quartz and saw-dust at a temperature of 3,000ºC, out of contact with air. Graphite carbon is deposited as residue.

Our Products

We currently manufacture and sell the following types of graphite products:

	graphite electrodes;

	fine grain graphite; and

	high purity graphite.

Graphite electrodes are used as electricity-conducting materials within electric arc furnaces for manufacture of steel and non-ferrous metals such as brown alumina, yellow phosphorus, or other metals.

Fine grain graphite blocks are used to make graphite crucibles in various industries and continuous casting dies for non-ferrous metals and spark erosion tools in the automotive industry. Fine grain graphite blocks are also machined to produce piston rings, sealing rings as well as jigs in the molding industry. In the space industry, fine grain graphite is used as rocket nozzles. Fine grain graphite is widely used in smelting for colored metals and rare-earth metal smelting as well as the manufacture of molds. We hope to penetrate some of these markets as we increase our production capacity and market our products to new customers.

High purity graphite is used in the chemistry industry, semiconductor material and precious metal smelting industry, food industry and nuclear industry. Graphite bricks and rounds of high purity are used as moderators in an atomic reactor. In the nuclear field, graphite is a good and convenient material as a moderator but only if the graphite is low in certain neutron absorbing elements notably boron and the rare earths and is of consistent quality particularly with regard to density and orientation. High purity graphite is used in, among other things, the metallurgy, mechanical, aviation, electronic, atomic energy, chemical and food industries. We hope to penetrate some of these markets as we increase our production capacity and market our products to new customers.

Our product types are differentiated based upon qualities such as density, thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, thermal expansion and strength. With respect to each of our product types, we sell products that vary in size and purity, depending on the particular specifications requested by our distributors. We also customize our products in various shapes. We regularly upgrade each of our products by increasing their size, density and purity, in accordance with customer demands.

-6-

In June 2009, we launched production of newly developed fine grain graphite rods with a length of 3,500 millimeters and a purity level up to 99.99%. Based on informal discussions with others in our industry, we believe that these rods are currently the largest available in China’s graphite market. We are also currently building a new plant to manufacture ultra-high graphite electrodes with a diameter ranging from 600 to 800mm. This new plant is expected to have technologically advanced equipment capable of producing ultra-high electrodes with a diameter as large as 800 mm and rounded fine grain electrodes with a diameter as large as 600 mm. Following the completion of this expansion, we believe we will be China's first domestic producer of 800 mm diameter ultra-high electrodes. Such expansion will also further strengthen our position in China's graphite market.

Our Manufacturing Facility

We currently manufacture all of our products in our Inner Mongolia facility. In 2009, our facility had the capacity to produce 15,000 tons of materials annually, in the aggregate. In 2010, our facility production capacity was doubled to 30,000 tons. We are currently operating at 100% production capacity. The Company is also currently building a new plant to manufacture ultra-high graphite electrodes with a diameter ranging from 600 to 800mm. This new plant is expected to start operating in June 2011 and with a capacity to produce about 30,000 tons annually.

The manufacturing process of each of our products generally involves various steps, including calcining, which is a thermal treatment process applied to raw materials, crushing raw materials into smaller particles, screening, mixing, forming, dipping, baking graphitization and machining. The technology and procedures used in this process vary amongst the different products that we manufacture. We have developed proprietary technology to support the forming stage of production and, as discussed below under the heading “—Intellectual Property,” we have been granted a patent by the State Intellectual Property Office of the PRC to protect our rights to this technology.

We employ advanced methods of quality control and environmental management. In this regard, we have obtained ISO90001 certification and ISO14000 certification for all of our products.

Our Raw Materials and Suppliers

Our principal raw materials are coal asphalt, asphalt coke, metallurgy coke, needle coke, metallurgy coke power, quartzose sand, coal, petroleum coke and calcined coke, all of which are carbon rich and used in manufacturing graphite with a high degree of density, strength and purity. We purchase all of our raw materials from domestic Chinese suppliers. We do not have any long-term contracts with our suppliers. As a result, the cost of our raw materials is not fixed. Recently, raw material prices have increased, and we expect this trend to continue. If we are not able to pass on increased costs to our customers, we would be unable to maintain our profit margins. In times of decreasing prices, we may have to sell our products at prices which are lower than the prices at which we purchased our raw materials. Furthermore, PRC regulations grant broad powers to the government to adjust prices of raw materials and manufactured products. Although the government has not imposed price controls on our raw materials or our products, it is possible that price controls may be implemented in the future, thereby affecting our results of operations and financial condition.

In 2010, 90% of our raw materials were provided by the following four suppliers (dollars in thousands):

Name		Cost of Supplies	Percentage of Total Cost of Supplies
Tianjin Longhui Graphite Products Company	$	6.969	28	%
China Jinxi Petrochemical Inc.	$	5,984	24	%
Shanxi Wenshuitai Chemical Inc.	$	5,389	21	%
Shanghai Hongte Chemical Inc.	$	4,321	17	%

-7-

No suppliers accounted for 10% or more of our total raw material purchases in 2009.

As seen in the table above, substantially all of our supplies in 2010 were purchased from four suppliers. Nonetheless, because of the diversity of available sources of these raw materials, we believe that our raw materials are currently in adequate supply and will continue to be so in the future.

In the third and fourth quarters of 2010, we used cash provided by bank loans to purchase inventory and to pay advances to suppliers for materials to lock in raw material costs.

Our Customers

Our customers include over 200 distributors located throughout 22 provinces in China as well as end users located in China. Our distributors sold our products to end customers both in China and in foreign countries, including, among others, Japan, the United States, Spain, England, South Korea and India. These end users consist of companies in various industries, including automobiles, defense, molding, machinery and tool manufacturers. Our direct sales consist of sales of our graphite electrodes to steel manufacturers and metallurgy companies located in China and sales of our fine grain graphite and high purity graphite products to molding companies located in China.

We generally do not enter into long-term contracts with our distributors or customers. Our distributors and customers generally purchase our products pursuant to purchase orders. We currently have one long-term agreement with one of our distributors; however, the volume of sales from such distributor is not material to our business.

Our distributors and customers generally purchase on credit, depending on their credit history and volume of purchases from us. During 2010, as a result of the global economic recovery and the expansion of our production capacity, we experienced an increased demand of our products and increased sales. This led to an increase in our net accounts receivable from $5.2 million at December 31, 2009 to $6.2 million at December 31, 2010.

Sales to four of our distributors in 2010 and two distributors in 2009 accounted for 10% or more of our net sales in 2010 as follows (dollars in thousands):

	2010					2009
Name	Sales		Percent of Net Sales			Sales		Percent oNet Sales
Changzhou Zhenrun Carbon Products Sales Co., Ltd.	$	7,412		24	%	$	3,337		22	%
He Ming Advanced Materials, Ltd.	$	4,941		16	%	$	3,052		20	%
Chang Sheyuan	$	3,706		12	%		-		-
Tianjin Shunhai Carbon Technology Inc.	$	3,088		10	%		-		-

As seen in the table above, approximately 62% of our sales in 2010 were sold to four distributors. We do not have long-term agreements with these distributors. Consequently, if orders from these distributors decreases, our business could be harmed.

-8-

Our Sales and Marketing Efforts

We have not spent a significant amount of capital on advertising. Our sales force consists of eleven people located at our Inner Mongolia facility who market our products primarily to distributors, and, to a lesser extent, end users, in the PRC. Our marketing effort is oriented toward working with distributors, who purchase our products and then sell them to end users in China and in foreign countries, including Japan, the United States, Spain, England, South Korea and India.

Research and Development

We have entered into a technology cooperation agreement with Hunan University, which sets forth the terms pursuant to which the university provides us with basic research and we perform experiments based upon their research. We also have a similar informal relationship with Qinghua University. The research that these universities are currently engaged in focuses on the development of high purity graphite with a diameter of 840 millimeters. A diameter of more than 840 millimeters and a purity of at least 99.9999% are threshold requirement for nuclear graphite for use in nuclear power reactors. The largest graphite that we currently produce in large quantities that contains such a high level of purity has a diameter of 600 millimeters. We plan to start producing graphite with a diameter of up to 800 millimeter in 2011. Our research and development expenses have not been significant to date.

Intellectual Property

We hold one Chinese patent, Patent No IL: 2004 1 0044348.7, which relates to the molding process for high-density, high strength and wear-resistant graphite material. The patent will expire in 2024. However, this patent affords us only limited protection, and any actions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. Most of our intellectual property consists of trade secrets relating to the design and manufacture of graphite products and customer lists that are accessible only by key executives and accounting personnel. Effective intellectual property protection may not be available in China and other countries in which our products are sold. Intellectual property rights in China are still developing, and there are uncertainties involved in the protection and the enforcement of such rights.

Competition and Competitive Advantages

We compete with a number of domestic and international companies that manufacture graphite products. Because of the nature of the products that we sell, we believe that the reputation of the manufacturer and the quality of the product may be as important as price.

In addition to a number of domestic firms, there are three major international firms that offer competing products. They are SGL Group, Toyo Tanso and Poco Graphite. SGL Group is considered one of the world’s leading manufacturers of carbon-based products. In 1974, Toyo Tanso became the first company in Japan to develop isotropic graphite, significantly expanding the possibilities of carbon use. Its products are now widely used in a variety of cutting edge technology fields, including the semi-conductor and aerospace industries. Poco Graphite’s products are produced for the semiconductor and general industrial products, biomedical, glass industry products and electrical discharge machining (EDM) markets.

Government Regulations

Approvals for New Products

Before we develop certain new products, we must obtain a variety of approvals from local and municipal governments in the PRC. Our products may also be required to comply with the regulations of foreign countries into which they are ultimately sold. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain all required licenses, permits, or approvals from these government authorities. If we fail to obtain all required licenses, permits or approvals, we may be unable to expand our operations.

Environmental Regulations

Xingyong, which manufactures our products, is subject to Chinese and regional environmental laws and regulations. Our refineries and related water treatment systems are built to meet government requirements, and we received a manufacturing license from the government department of environmental protection. Xingyong has passed environmental impact assessment by local environment authorities. We believe that we and Xingyong are in compliance in all material respects with all environmental protection laws and regulations.

Regulations Governing Electrical Equipment

Our products are subject to regulations that pertain to electrical equipment, which may materially adversely affect our business. These regulations influence the design, components or operation of our products. New regulations and changes to current regulations are always possible and, in some jurisdictions, regulations may be introduced with little or no time to bring related products into compliance with these regulations. Our failure to comply with these regulations may restrict our ability to sell our products in the PRC. In addition, these regulations may increase our cost of supplying the products by forcing us to redesign existing products or to use more expensive designs or components. In these cases, we may experience unexpected disruptions in our ability to supply customers with products, or we may incur unexpected costs or operational complexities to bring products into compliance. This could have an adverse effect on our revenues, gross profit margins and results of operations and increase the volatility of our financial results.

Circular 106 Compliance and Approval

On May 31, 2007, the SAFE issued an official notice known as “Circular 106,” which requires the owners of any Chinese companies to obtain SAFE’s approval before establishing any offshore holding company structure for foreign financing as well as subsequent acquisition matters in China. However, since the owners of Xingyong were not stockholders of Talent, and Talent’s sole stockholder, a trust of which the trustee and beneficiaries are family members of Mr. Jin, was not a resident of the PRC, no SAFE application was required to be filed for Talent to establish its offshore company, Yongle, as a “special purpose vehicle” for any foreign ownership and capital raising activities by Xingyong.

Restrictions on Exports of Natural Resources

In 2010, the Chinese government decided to implement a number of new restrictions on natural resource industry sectors. As a result, domestic Chinese companies in certain natural resource industries face export restrictions. Such restrictions may limit our ability to export our products in the future, or may increase the expense of our exports, which may impact our business.

Employees

As of December 31, 2010, we had 560 full-time employees, of whom 473 were in manufacturing, 36 were technical employees who were also engaged in research and development, 40 were executive and administrative employees and 11 were sales and marketing employees. As of December 31, 2009, we had 553 full-time employees, of whom 462 were in manufacturing, 36 were technical employees who were also engaged in research and development, 40 were executive and administrative employees and 15 were sales and marketing employees. We believe that our relationship with our employees is good.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.

From time to time, information provided by us, including but not limited to statements in this report, or other statements made by or on our behalf, may contain “forward-looking” information. Such statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, which may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those anticipated. Set forth below are important factors that could cause our results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf.

Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure

We control Xingyong through a series of contractual arrangements, which may not be as effective in providing control over the entity as direct ownership and may be difficult to enforce.

We operate our business in the PRC through our variable interest entity, Xingyong. Xingyong holds the licenses, approvals and assets necessary to operate our business in the PRC. We have no equity ownership interest in Xingyong and rely on contractual arrangements with Xingyong and its shareholders that allow us to substantially control and operate Xingyong. These contractual arrangements may not be as effective as direct ownership in providing control over Xingyong because Xingyong or its shareholders could breach the arrangements.

-10-

Our contractual arrangements with Xingyong are governed by PRC law. Accordingly, these contracts would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. If Xingyong or its shareholders fail to perform their respective obligations under these contractual arrangements, we may have to incur substantial costs to enforce such arrangements and rely on legal remedies under PRC law, including seeking specific performance or injunctive relief, and claiming damages.

The legal environment in the PRC is not as developed as in the United States and uncertainties in the Chinese legal system could limit our ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. In the event that we are unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

If the PRC government determines that the contractual arrangements through which we control Xingyong do not comply with applicable regulations, our business could be adversely affected.

Although we believe our contractual relationships through which we control Xingyong comply with current licensing, registration and regulatory requirements of the PRC, we cannot assure you that the PRC government would agree, or that new and burdensome regulations will not be adopted in the future. If the PRC government determines that our structure or operating arrangements do not comply with applicable law, it could revoke our business and operating licenses, require us to discontinue or restrict our operations, restrict our right to collect revenues, require us to restructure our operations, impose additional conditions or requirements with which we may not be able to comply, impose restrictions on our business operations or on our customers, or take other regulatory or enforcement actions against us that could be harmful to our business.

The controlling shareholder of Xingyong has potential conflicts of interest with us, which may adversely affect our business.

Affiliates of the controlling shareholder of Xingyong, Mr. Denyong Jin, are also beneficial holders of our common shares. Mr. Jin holds a larger interest in Xingyong when compared to the beneficial ownership of his affiliates in our shares. Conflicts of interest between these dual relationships may arise. We cannot assure you that when conflicts of interest arise, Mr. Jin will act in the best interests of the Company or that conflicts of interest will be resolved in our favor. In addition, Mr. Jin may breach or cause Xingyong to breach or refuse to renew the existing contractual arrangements that allow us to receive economic benefits from Xingyong. We rely on Mr. Jin to act in good faith and in the best interests of the Company, and not use his positions for personal gain. If we cannot resolve any conflicts of interest or disputes between us and Mr. Jin, we would have to rely on legal proceedings, which could result in disruption of our business and substantial uncertainty as to the outcome of any such legal proceedings.

Since the payments we receive from Xingyong are subject to annual negotiation, we may not be entitled to receive all of Xingyong’s net income in the future.

Pursuant to the business operations agreement between Yongle and Xingyong, Xingyong is obligated to pay between 80% and 100% of its net income to Yongle, subject to annual negotiation. Although Xingyong paid 100% of its net income to Yongle in 2008, 2009 and 2010, there is no assurance that it will continue to do so in the future. Dengyong Jin, our former chief executive officer, owns Xingyong. Mr. Jin and his family members also control Sincere Investment (PTC), Ltd., or Sincere, our controlling stockholder. Our profitability would be affected if the percentage of Xingyong’s net income that is payable to us would be decreased.

To manage our business effectively and to continue to generate significant profits, we need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls. These system enhancements and improvements may require significant capital expenditures and management resources. Failure to implement these improvements could impair our ability to manage our business and could result in a further deterioration of our financial position and the results of our operations.

Risks Related to Our Business

If our lenders demand payment when our loans are due, we may have difficulty in making payments, which could impair our ability to continue operating our business.

At December 31, 2010, we had short-term bank loans of approximately $33.3 million. These bank loans, which are secured by a lien on our fixed assets and land use rights, are due between February 2011 and September 2011, including approximately $27 million owed to the Construction Bank of China. Historically, we have generally rolled over our short-term loans when they became due. However, we cannot assure you that our lenders, including the Construction Bank of China, will not demand payment on the maturity date of these loans. If the lenders demand payment when due, we may not be able to obtain the necessary funds to pay off these loans, which could result in the imposition of penalties such as a 50% increase in interest rates and a request from the banks for additional security for the loans. Our cash reserves, which at December 31, 2010 were $0.3 million, are insufficient to pay off our loans when due.

-11-

We will require additional financing to implement our expansion plans, which funds may not be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. Without additional funds, we may not be able to maintain or expand our business.

An increase in the cost of raw materials will affect our profit if we are unable to pass along the cost to our customers.

We purchase all of our raw materials from domestic Chinese suppliers. Because we do not have any long-term contracts with our suppliers, any increase in the prices of our raw materials would affect the price at which we can sell our products. If we are not able to pass on increased costs to our customers, we would be unable to maintain our profit margins. Raw material prices increased significantly in 2010 and we anticipate this trend to continue in 2011.

In times of decreasing prices, we may have to sell our products at prices, which are lower than the prices at which we purchased our raw materials. Furthermore, PRC regulations grant broad powers to the government to adjust prices of raw materials and manufactured products. Although the government has not imposed price controls on our raw materials or our products, it is possible that price controls may be implemented in the future, thereby affecting our results of operations and financial condition.

As we expand our operations, we may need to establish a more diverse supplier network for our raw materials. The failure to secure a more diverse and reliable supplier network could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

In 2010, we purchased almost all of our raw materials from a small number of suppliers. As we increase the scale of our production, we may need to establish a more diverse supplier network, while attempting to continue to leverage our purchasing power to obtain favorable pricing and delivery terms. However, in the event that we need to diversify our supplier network, we may not be able to procure a sufficient supply of raw materials at a competitive price, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Furthermore, despite our efforts to control our supply of raw materials and maintain good relationships with our existing suppliers, we could lose one or more of our existing suppliers at any time. The loss of one or more key suppliers could increase our reliance on higher cost or lower quality supplies, which could negatively affect our profitability. Any interruptions to, or decline in, the amount or quality of our raw materials supply could materially disrupt our production and adversely affect our business, financial condition and financial prospects.

Delays in the expansion of our facilities or in building new facilities may affect our costs and results of operations.

As part of our strategy to increase our market share and improve our competitiveness through greater economies of scale, we are expanding, and may in the future further expand, our existing production facilities or build one or more production facilities. The expansion or construction of a production facility involves various risks. These risks include engineering, construction, regulatory and other significant challenges that may delay or prevent the successful operation of the project or significantly increase our costs. Our ability to complete successfully any expansion or new construction project on time is also subject to financing and other risks. We may be adversely affected because we may not be able to complete any expansion or new construction project on time or within budget or we may be required by market conditions or other factors to delay the initiation of construction or the timetable to complete new projects or expansions. Furthermore, our new or modified facilities may not operate at designed capacity or may cost more to operate than we expect. In addition, we may not be able to sell our additional production at attractive prices or we may not have the cash or be able to acquire financing to implement our growth plans.

-12-

We plan to expand our business by acquiring one or more companies. Any such acquisition may disrupt, or otherwise have a negative impact on, our business operations.

We intend to expand our business through acquisitions, with the objective of becoming a vertically integrated leader in the Chinese graphite industry. However, we may not be successful in these efforts. For example, a potential acquisition of Chiyu Carbon, with whom we signed a letter of intent in 2010, is not likely to be consummated in 2011, if at all.

In the event that we make acquisitions, we could have difficulty integrating the acquired companies’ personnel and operations with our own. In addition, the key personnel of the acquired business may not be willing to work for us. We cannot predict the effect that any such expansion may have on our core business. Regardless of whether we are successful in making an acquisition, the negotiations for potential acquisitions could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and cause us to incur significant expenses. In addition to the risks described above, acquisitions are accompanied by a number of inherent risks, including, without limitation, the following:

	the difficulty of integrating acquired products, services or operations;

	the potential disruption of the ongoing businesses and distraction of our management and the management of acquired companies;

	the difficulty of incorporating acquired rights or products into our existing business;

	difficulties in disposing of the excess or idle facilities of an acquired company or business and expenses in maintaining such facilities;

	difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies, including disclosure controls and financial controls;

	the potential impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of new management personnel;

	the potential inability or failure to achieve additional sales and enhance our customer base through cross-marketing of the products to new and existing customers;

	the acquisition strategy will likely require additional equity or debt financing, resulting in additional leverage or dilution of ownership;

	the effect of any government regulations which relate to the business acquired, including any additional costs resulting from the failure of the acquired company to comply with governmental regulations; and



potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses or product lines, or the need to spend significant amounts to retool, reposition or modify the marketing and sales of acquired products or the defense of any litigation, whether of not successful, resulting from actions of the acquired company prior to our acquisition.

-13-

Our business could be severely impaired if and to the extent that we are unable to succeed in addressing any of these risks, and our results of operations could be adversely affected.

A large percentage of our revenues depends on a limited number of distributors, the loss of one or more of which could materially adversely affect our operations and revenues.

Our revenue is dependent in large part on significant orders from a limited number of distributors, who may vary from period to period. During the year ended December 31, 2010, four distributors accounted for approximately $19.1 million, or 62.0%, of our revenue, and during the year ended December 31, 2009, two distributors accounted for approximately $6.4 million, or 42.0% of our revenue. Two distributors were a principal distributor in both the year ended December 31, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009 and accounted for approximately $12.4 million, or 40.0%, of our sales for the year ended December 31, 2010 and $6.4 million, or 42.0%, of our sales for the year ended December 31, 2009. We do not have long-term contracts with these distributors. Demand for our products depends on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the financial condition of our distributors, the end users of our products and their customers, and general economic conditions. If sales to any of our large distributors are substantially reduced for any reason, as occurred during the recent economic downturn, such reduction may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If the PRC government closes our facilities in the future, even temporarily, our financial condition may be materially affected.

The Chinese government closed our facilities for a period of almost two months during the third quarter of 2008 as part of the Chinese government’s program to reduce air pollution during the Olympics. No compensation was received for the closure. This shutdown reduced our sales in the first quarter of 2009 because it takes about three months to six months to produce graphite products. If the PRC government closes our facilities in the future, even temporarily, our financial condition may be materially affected. If the PRC government closes our facilities in the future, even temporarily, our financial condition may be materially affected.

If our competitors sell higher quality products or similar products at a lower price, or if they are otherwise more successful in penetrating the market, our financial condition would be affected.

We face competition from both Chinese and international companies, many of which are better known and have greater financial resources than us. Many of the international companies, in particular, have longer operating histories and have more established relationships with customers and end users. If our competitors are successful in providing similar or better graphite products or provide graphite products at a lower price than we offer our products, or if they are otherwise more successful in penetrating the market, we could experience a decline in demand for our products, which would negatively impact our sales and results of operations.

Because the end users of graphite products seek products that incorporate the latest technological development, including increased purity, our failure to offer such products could impair our ability to market our products.

Our products are either used in the manufacturing process for other products, particularly metals, or for incorporation in various types of products or processes. The end users typically view both the purity of the graphite and the bend strength, compression strength, resistivity, bulk density and porosity of graphite as key factors in making a decision as to which products to purchase. Accordingly, our failure or inability to offer products manufactured with the most current manufacturing technology could adversely affect our sales.

Our intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them could reduce the value of our products.

Our trade secrets and patent are important assets for us. Our intellectual property consists of one patent, trade secrets relating to the design and manufacture of graphite products and our customer lists. Various events outside of our control pose a threat to our intellectual property rights as well as to our products. Effective intellectual property protection may not be available in China and other countries in which our products are sold. Intellectual property rights in China are still developing, and there are uncertainties involved in the protection and the enforcement of such rights.

Also, the efforts we have taken to protect our intellectual property rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business or our ability to compete.

-14-

We depend on third party distributors over whom we have no control to market our products to end users in international markets.

Although the market for graphite products is international and many of the end users of our products are located outside of the PRC, most of our direct sales are made to distributors and customers in the PRC. We do not have any offices outside of the PRC, and we depend on distributors based in the PRC, over whom we have no control, to sell our products in the international market. Any problems encountered by these third parties, including potential violations of laws of the PRC or other countries, may affect their ability to sell our products, which would, in turn, affect our net sales.

Because our contracts are made pursuant to individual purchase orders, and not long-term agreements, the results of our operations can vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

We sell our products pursuant to purchase orders and, with the exception of one customer, whose purchases are not material to our overall revenues, we do not have long-term contracts with any distributors or customers. As a result, we must continually seek new customers and new orders from existing customers. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will have a continuing stream of revenue from any customer. Our failure to generate new business on an ongoing basis would materially impair our ability to operate profitably.

We rely on highly skilled personnel and, if we are unable to hire or retain qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.

Our performance largely depends on the talents and efforts of highly skilled individuals, including our executive officers and Mr. Denyong Jin, the chief executive officer of Xingyong and our former chief executive officer. We do not have employment agreements with any of our executive officers or with Mr. Jin. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to retain these individuals and to hire, develop, motivate and retain other highly skilled personnel for all areas of our organization.

Because we consume significant amounts of electricity, any failure or interruption in electricity services could harm our ability to operate our business.

Our systems are heavily reliant on the availability of electricity. If we were to experience a major power outage, we would have to rely on back-up generators. These back-up generators may not operate properly and their fuel supply could be inadequate during a major power outage. This could result in a disruption of our business.

If we fail to obtain all required licenses, permits, or approvals, we may be unable to expand our operations.

Compliance with existing and future environmental laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

As a manufacturer, we are subject to various Chinese environmental laws and regulations on air emission, waste water discharge, solid wastes, noise and safety. We cannot assure you that we are able to comply with these regulations at all times, as the Chinese environmental legal requirements are evolving and becoming more stringent. If the Chinese national government or local governments impose more stringent regulations in the future, we may have to incur additional, and potentially substantial, costs and expenses in order to comply with such regulations, which may negatively affect our results of operations. For instance, during 2009, we incurred significant expenditures for environmental improvements required by new government regulations. In addition, if we fail to comply with any of the present or future environmental regulations in any material aspects, we may suffer from negative publicity and be subject to claims for damages that may require us to pay substantial fines or have our operations suspended or even be forced to cease operations.

Risks Related to Doing Business in the People’s Republic of China

Our business operations take place primarily in the People's Republic of China. Because Chinese laws, regulations and policies are changing, our Chinese operations face several risks summarized below.

-15-

Limitations on Chinese economic market reforms may discourage foreign investment in Chinese businesses.

The value of investments in Chinese businesses could be adversely affected by political, economic and social uncertainties in China. The economic reforms in China in recent years are regarded by China's central government as a way to introduce economic market forces into China. Given the overriding desire of the central government leadership to maintain stability in China amid rapid social and economic changes in the country, the economic market reforms of recent years could be slowed, or even reversed.

Any change in policy by the Chinese government could adversely affect investments in Chinese businesses.

Changes in policy could result in imposition of restrictions on currency conversion, imports or the source of supplies, as well as new laws affecting joint ventures and foreign-owned enterprises doing business in China. Although China has been pursuing economic reforms, events such as a change in leadership or social disruptions that may occur upon the proposed privatization of certain state-owned industries, could significantly affect the government's ability to continue with its reform.

We face economic risks in doing business in China because the Chinese economy is more volatile than other countries.

As a developing nation, China's economy is more volatile than those of developed Western industrial economies. It differs significantly from that of the U.S. or a Western European country in such respects as structure, level of development, capital reinvestment, legal recourse, resource allocation and self-sufficiency. Only in recent years has the Chinese economy moved from what had been a command economy through the 1970s to one that during the 1990s encouraged substantial private economic activity. In 1993, the Constitution of China was amended to reinforce such economic reforms. The trends of the 1990s indicate that future policies of the Chinese government will emphasize greater utilization of market forces. For example, in 1999 the Government announced plans to amend the Chinese Constitution to recognize private property, although private business will officially remain subordinate to state-owned companies, which are the mainstay of the Chinese economy. However, we cannot assure you that, under some circumstances, the government's pursuit of economic reforms will not be restrained or curtailed. Actions by the central government of China could have a significant adverse effect on economic conditions in the country as a whole and on the economic prospects for our Chinese operations.

PRC regulations relating to acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign entities may limit our ability to acquire PRC companies and adversely affect the implementation of our strategy as well as our business and prospects.

The PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, issued a public notice in January 2005 concerning foreign exchange regulations on mergers and acquisitions in China. The public notice states that if an offshore company controlled by PRC residents intends to acquire a PRC company, such acquisition will be subject to strict examination by the relevant foreign exchange authorities. The public notice also states that the approval of the relevant foreign exchange authorities is required for any sale or transfer by the PRC residents of a PRC company’s assets or equity interests to foreign entities, such as us, for equity interests or assets of the foreign entities.

In April 2005, SAFE issued another public notice further explaining the January notice. In accordance with the April notice, if an acquisition of a PRC company by an offshore company controlled by PRC residents has been confirmed by a Foreign Investment Enterprise Certificate prior to the promulgation of the January notice, the PRC residents must each submit a registration form to the local SAFE branch with respect to their respective ownership interests in the offshore company, and must also file an amendment to such registration if the offshore company experiences material events, such as changes in the share capital, share transfer, mergers and acquisitions, spin-off transactions or use of assets in China to guarantee offshore obligations.

On May 31, 2007, SAFE issued another official notice known as “Circular 106,” which requires the owners of any Chinese company to obtain SAFE’s approval before establishing any offshore holding company structure for foreign financing as well as subsequent acquisition matters in China.

If we decide to acquire a PRC company, we cannot assure you that we or the owners of such company, as the case may be, will be able to complete the necessary approvals, filings and registrations for the acquisition. This may restrict our ability to implement our acquisition strategy and adversely affect our business and prospects. In addition, if such registration cannot be obtained, our company will not be able to receive dividends declared and paid by our subsidiaries in the PRC and may be forbidden from paying dividends for profit distribution or capital reduction purposes.

-16-

Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on your investment.

The change in value of the RMB against the United States dollar and other currencies is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. On July 21, 2005, the Chinese government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in the appreciation of the RMB against U.S. dollar. While the international reaction to the RMB revaluation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the Chinese government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. As approximately 90% of our costs and expenses are denominated in RMB, the revaluation in July 2005 and potential future revaluation has and could further increase our costs. In addition, as we rely entirely on dividends paid to us by our operating subsidiaries, any significant revaluation of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial condition, and the value of, and any of our dividends payable on our ordinary shares in foreign currency terms.

Capital outflow policies in the PRC may hamper our ability to remit income to the United States.

The PRC has adopted currency and capital transfer regulations. These regulations may require that we comply with complex regulations for the movement of capital and as a result we may not be able to remit all income earned and proceeds received in connection with our operations or from the sale of our operating subsidiary to the United States or to our stockholders.

China’s foreign currency control policies may impair the ability of our Chinese operating company to pay dividends to us.

Since our operations are conducted through our Chinese operating company, we rely on dividends and other distributions from our Chinese operating company to provide us with cash flow to pay dividends or meet our other obligations. Any dividend payment will be subject to foreign exchange rules governing such repatriation. Any liquidation is subject to the relevant government agency’s approval and supervision as well as the foreign exchange control. Current regulations in China would permit our operating company to pay dividends to us only out of accumulated distributable profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, our operating company will be required to set aside at least 10% (up to an aggregate amount equal to half of our registered capital) of its accumulated profits each year for employee welfare. Such cash reserve may not be distributed as cash dividends. In addition, if our operating company in China incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. The inability of our operating company to pay dividends or make other payments to us may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Because our funds are held in banks that do not provide insurance, the failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could affect our ability to continue in business.

Banks and other financial institutions in the PRC do not provide insurance for funds held on deposit. As a result, in the event of a bank failure, we may not have access to funds on deposit. Depending upon the amount of money we maintain in a bank that fails, our inability to have access to our cash could impair our operations, and, if we are not able to access funds to pay our suppliers, employees and other creditors, we may be unable to continue in business.

Since we may not be able to obtain business insurance in the PRC, we may not be protected from risks that are customarily covered by insurance in the United States.

Business insurance is not readily available in the PRC. To the extent that we suffer a loss of a type that would normally be covered by insurance in the United States, such as product liability and general liability insurance, we would incur significant expenses in both defending any action and in paying any claims that result from a settlement or judgment. We have not obtained fire, casualty and theft insurance, and there is no insurance coverage for our raw materials, goods and merchandise, furniture and buildings in China. Any losses incurred by us will have to be borne by us without any assistance, and we may not have sufficient capital to cover material damage to, or the loss of, our production facility due to fire, severe weather, flood or other cause, and such damage or loss would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business and prospects.

The Chinese legal and judicial system may negatively impact foreign investors because the Chinese legal system is not yet comprehensive.

In 1982, the National Peoples Congress amended the Constitution of China to authorize foreign investment and guarantee the "lawful rights and interests" of foreign investors in China. However, China's system of laws is not yet comprehensive. The legal and judicial systems in China are still under development, and enforcement of existing laws is inconsistent. Many judges in China lack the depth of legal training and experience that would be expected of a judge in a more developed country. Because the Chinese judiciary is relatively inexperienced in enforcing the laws that exist, anticipation of judicial decision-making is more uncertain than would be expected in a more developed country. It may be impossible to obtain swift and equitable enforcement of laws that do exist, or to obtain enforcement of the judgment of one court by a court of another jurisdiction. China's legal system is based on written statutes; a decision by one judge does not set a legal precedent that is required to be followed by judges in other cases. In addition, the interpretation of Chinese laws may shift to reflect domestic political changes.

The promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws and the pre-emption of local regulations by national laws may adversely affect foreign investors. However, the trend of legislation over the last 20 years has significantly enhanced the protection of foreign investment and allowed for more control by foreign parties of their investments in Chinese enterprises. We cannot assure you that a change in leadership, social or political disruption, or unforeseen circumstances affecting China's political, economic or social life, will not affect the Chinese government's ability to continue to support and pursue these reforms. Such a shift could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.

The practical effect of the People’s Republic of China’s legal system on our business operations in China can be viewed from two separate but intertwined considerations. First, as a matter of substantive law, the Foreign Invested Enterprise laws provide significant protection from government interference. In addition, these laws guarantee the full enjoyment of the benefits of corporate articles and contracts to Foreign Invested Enterprise participants. These laws, however, do impose standards concerning corporate formation and governance, which are not qualitatively different from the general corporation laws of the several states. Similarly, the accounting laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China mandate accounting practices that are not consistent with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. China's accounting laws require that an annual "statutory audit" be performed in accordance with People’s Republic of China’s accounting standards and that the books of account of Foreign Invested Enterprises are maintained in accordance with Chinese accounting laws. Article 14 of the People’s Republic of China Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise Law requires a Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise to submit certain periodic fiscal reports and statements to designated financial and tax authorities, at the risk of business license revocation. Second, while the enforcement of substantive rights may appear less clear than United States procedures, Foreign Invested Enterprises and Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprises are Chinese registered companies, which enjoy the same status as other Chinese registered companies in business-to-business dispute resolution. Generally, the Articles of Association provide that all business disputes pertaining to Foreign Invested Enterprises are to be resolved by the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce in Stockholm, Sweden, applying Chinese substantive law. Any award rendered by this arbitration tribunal is, by the express terms of the respective Articles of Association, enforceable in accordance with the "United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (1958)." Therefore, as a practical matter, although no assurances can be given, the Chinese legal infrastructure, while different in operation from its United States counterpart, should not present any significant impediment to the operation of Foreign Invested Enterprises.

Because our principal assets are located outside of the United States and some of our directors and all of our executive officers reside outside of the United States, it may be difficult for you to enforce your rights based on the United States Federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors in the United States or to enforce judgments of United States courts against us or them in the People's Republic of China.

Under the New Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of China. Such classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders.

China passed a New Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the New EIT Law, which became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the New EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with de facto management bodies within China is considered a resident enterprise, meaning that it can be treated in a manner similar to a Chinese enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define de facto management as “substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. In addition, a circular issued by the State Administration of Taxation on April 22, 2009 clarified that dividends and other income paid by such resident enterprises will be considered to be PRC source income and subject to PRC withholding tax. This recent circular also subjects such resident enterprises to various reporting requirements with the PRC tax authorities.

-18-

Although substantially all of our management is currently located in the PRC, it remains unclear whether the PRC tax authorities would require or permit our overseas registered entities to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. We do not currently consider our company to be a PRC resident enterprise. However, if the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. In our case, this would mean that income such as interest on offering proceeds and non-China source income would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Second, although under the New EIT Law and its implementing rules dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiaries would qualify as tax-exempt income, we cannot guarantee that such dividends will not be subject to a 10% withholding tax, as the PRC authorities which enforce the withholding tax have not yet issued guidance with respect to the processing of outbound remittances to entities that are treated as resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Finally, dividends paid to shareholders with respect to their shares of our common stock or any gains realized from transfer of such shares may generally be subject to PRC withholding taxes on such dividends or gains at a rate of 10% if the shareholders are deemed to be a non-resident enterprise or at a rate of 20% if the shareholders are deemed to be a non-resident individual.

It may be difficult for our stockholders to affect service of process against our subsidiaries or our officers and directors.

Our operating subsidiaries and substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. You will find it difficult to enforce your legal rights based on the civil liability provisions of the United States Federal securities laws against us in the courts of either the United States or the People's Republic of China and, even if civil judgments are obtained in courts of the United States, to enforce such judgments in the courts of the People's Republic of China. In addition, it is unclear if extradition treaties in effect between the United States and the People's Republic of China would permit effective enforcement against us or those of our officers and directors that reside outside the United States of criminal penalties, under the United States Federal securities laws or otherwise.

The Chinese economy is evolving and we may be harmed by any economic reform.

Although the Chinese government owns the majority of productive assets in China, during the past several years the government has implemented economic reform measures that emphasize decentralization and encourage private economic activity. Because these economic reform measures may be inconsistent or ineffectual, we are unable to assure you that:

	We will be able to capitalize on economic reforms;

	The Chinese government will continue its pursuit of economic reform policies;

	The economic policies, even if pursued, will be successful;

	Economic policies will not be significantly altered from time to time; and

	Business operations in China will not become subject to the risk of nationalization.

Since 1979, the Chinese government has reformed its economic systems. Because many reforms are unprecedented or experimental, they are expected to be refined and improved. Other political, economic and social factors, such as political changes, changes in the rates of economic growth, unemployment or inflation, or in the disparities in per capita wealth between regions within China, could lead to further readjustment of the reform measures. This refining and readjustment process may negatively affect our operations.

-19-

Price inflation in China could affect our results of operation if we are unable to pass along raw material price increases to our customers.

Inflation in China has recently increased. Reports indicate that inflation in China increased to a 28-month high in November 2010. Because we purchase raw materials from suppliers in China, price inflation has recently caused an increase in the cost of our raw materials. Price inflation could affect our results of operation if we are unable to pass along raw material price increases to customers. Similarly, the cost of the ongoing construction of our new facility and the installation of our equipment may increase as a result of these recent inflationary trends, which are expected to continue in the near future. In addition, if inflationary trends continue in China, China could lose its competitive advantage as a low-cost manufacturing venue, which could in turn lessen some of the competitive advantages of our being based in China. Accordingly, inflation in China may weaken our competitiveness domestically or in international markets.

Failure to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

We are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, are not subject to these prohibitions. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices may occur from time to time in the PRC. We can make no assurance, however, that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our reputation or our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.

The SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, adopted rules requiring every public company to include a management report on such company’s internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.

During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, we identified significant deficiencies related to (i) the U.S. GAAP expertise of our internal accounting staff, (ii) our internal audit functions and, and (iii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions. We cannot assure you that, when our independent auditors are required to attest to our internal controls, that they will agree with our analysis or will not have identified other material weaknesses in our internal controls or disclosure controls.

Our reporting obligations as a public company place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. Effective -internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to prevent fraud. As a result, our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in turn could harm our business and negatively impact the trading price of our stock. Furthermore, we anticipate that we will continue to incur considerable costs and use significant management time and other resources in an effort to comply with Section 404 and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

There is a limited market for our common stock, which may make it difficult for you to sell your stock.

Our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol CHGI.OB. There is a limited trading market for our common stock and at times there is no trading in our common stock. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any markets that may develop for our common stock, the ability of holders of our common stock to sell our common stock, or the prices at which holders may be able to sell our common stock. Further, many brokerage firms will not process transactions involving low price stocks, especially those that come within the definition of a “penny stock.” If we cease to be quoted, holders would find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock, and the market value of our common stock would likely decline.

-20-

If a more active trading market for our common stock develops, the market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations, and you may be unable to resell your shares at or above the price at which you acquired them.

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including:

	quarterly variations in our revenues and operating expenses;

	developments in the financial markets and worldwide economies;

	announcements of innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors;

	announcements by the PRC government relating to regulations that govern our industry;

	significant sales of our common stock or other securities in the open market.

	variations in interest rates;

	changes in the market valuations of other comparable companies; and

	changes in accounting principles.

In addition, the market for Chinese companies that went public in the U.S. through a reverse merger, such as ours, is currently extremely volatile due primarily to recent allegations and, in some instances, findings of fraud among some of these companies. If a stockholder were to file a class action suit against us following a period of volatility in the price of our securities, we would incur substantial legal fees and our management’s attention and resources would be diverted from operating our business to respond to such litigation, which could harm our business and reputation.

We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends to our common stock holders for the foreseeable future, and any return on investment may be limited to potential future appreciation on the value of our common stock.

We currently intend to retain any future earnings to support the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The certificate of designation for the Series A Preferred Stock prohibits us from paying dividends to the holders of our common stock while the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding. There are currently no shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. To the extent that we do not pay dividends, our stock may be less valuable because a return on investment will only occur if and to the extent our stock price appreciates, which may never occur. In addition, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation as the only way to realize their investment, and if the price of our stock does not appreciate, then there will be no return on investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

-21-

The rights of the holders of common stock may be impaired by the potential issuance of preferred stock.

Our board of directors has the right to create new series of preferred stock. As a result, the board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, conversion, liquidation or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and equity interest of the holders of common stock. Preferred stock, which could be issued with the right to more than one vote per share and could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control. The possible impact on takeover attempts could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Without the consent of the holders of 75% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, we may not alter or change adversely the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock or increase the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock, create a class of stock which is senior to or on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, amend our certificate of incorporation in breach of these provisions or agree to any of the foregoing. Although we have no present intention to issue any additional shares of preferred stock or to create any new series of preferred stock and the certificate of designation relating to the Series A Preferred Stock restricts our ability to issue additional series of preferred stock, we may issue such shares in the future.

Transactions engaged in by our principal stockholder may have an adverse effect on the price of our stock.

We do not know what plans, if any, Sincere has with respect to its ownership of our stock. In the event that Sincere sells a substantial number of shares of our common stock, such sales could have the effect of lowering our stock price. The perceived risk associated with the possible sale of a large number of shares by this stockholder, or the adoption of significant short positions by hedge funds or other significant investors, could cause some of our stockholders to sell their stock, thus causing the price of our stock to further decline.

ITEM 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.

ITEM 2. Properties.

There is no private ownership of land in the PRC. The Company has acquired land use rights for a total of 386,853 square meters. The land use rights have terms of 50 years, with the land use right relating to 130,220 square meters expiring in 2052 and the land use right with respect to 256,633 square meters expiring in 2053. In addition to the land use rights mentioned above, the Chinese government has also issued the Company a land use certificate of 387,838 square meters land, for which the Company has not signed a land use right agreement and has not yet paid. This 387,838 square meters land use right was used as collateral by the Company for its short term bank loan. The land use right has a term of 50 years, with expiration date of January 2060. The cost of this 387,838 square meters land is approximately $14,000,000. We believe that our facilities are sufficient to meet our current and near future requirements and that any additional space that we may require would be available on commercially reasonable terms.

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings.

We are not aware of any material existing or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our current directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to us.

Overview

	Graphite electrodes;

	fine grain graphite; and

	high purity graphite.

Until the third quarter of 2008, we experienced rapid growth in our operations. From the fourth quarter of 2008 until the end of 2009, however, as a result of the global economic crisis, the steel industry in general slowed, which caused our revenues and gross margin to decline significantly. Specifically, we had a significant decline in sales of graphite electrodes. The industry started to recover in 2010, and in particular since the third quarter of 2010. Our revenues and gross margins improved significantly in the 2010. As a result, our receivables have increased. We expect the recovery and increasing demand in the fine grain, high purity and graphite electrode, and in particular ultra high graphite electrode, market to extend into 2011.

We expect the increased demand in high margin ultra graphite electrode and fine grain and high purity graphite products to extend through 2011, primarily due to anticipated growth in the iron and steel automobile, aerospace ad defense industries in the PRC. Currently, steel plants in China have been upgrading their furnace facilities and created a high demand for large size ultra high graphite electrode, which are different products from general graphite electrode. The margin of large size ultra high graphite electrode is high due to the shortage of supply to the demand. We estimate the trend will continue for the near future. Our new forming plant will specialize in manufacturing high margin products including large size ultra high graphite electrode, high purity graphite and fine gain graphite.

In order to try and address this demand, in January 2011, we completed the exterior construction of a production plant, whose annual production capacity is expected to be 30,000 tons. We intend to start installation and shakedown testing of a 4200-ton compressor and 36 annular kilns in this facility in the near future. The new facilities are expected to begin production by August 2011, subject to potential further delays in the installation of equipment, the hiring of additional employees, orders from customers, or other delays involved in construction, installation or production in a new facility. The new plant is expected to be used to manufacture a new product, ultra-high graphite electrodes with a diameter ranging from 600 to 800mm, along with existing fine grain and high-purity graphite products. The industrial applications of the products to be manufactured in the new facility include aerospace, defense, automotive and clean tech end products currently carries the greatest demand of all forms of graphite. We believe that this expansion will make us China's first domestic producer of 800 mm diameter ultra-high electrodes and will further strengthen the Company's leading position in China's fine grain graphite market. After the expansion, the Company is expected to have a 60,000 ton production capacity. The Company is currently operating at 100% production capacity of 30,000 tons annually.

-25-

The initial budgeted investment outlay for the construction was approximately $13.5 million in the aggregate. The new forming plant will specialize in manufacturing large size ultra high graphite electrodes, high purity graphite and fine gain graphite. In addition, the new baking plant will have 36 furnaces, totaling 160 meters in length.

Sales.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we had sales of $30,994,150, as compared to sales of $15,369,978 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $15,624,172, or approximately 101.7%. Our revenue was generated mainly from sales of fine grain graphite, graphite electrodes, high purity graphite, and semi-processed graphite products. Sales increase was mainly attributable to a significant increase in the demand of our products during the year ended December 31, 2010 resulting from the market recovery and new client development. Approximately 45% of total sales in 2010 were revenue from approximately 40 new customers developed in 2010. The increased production capacity, and increased unit prices also contributed to the increase of total sales.

-27-

The breakdown of revenues for each of graphite electrodes, fine grain graphite and high purity graphite, in 2009 and 2010, was as follows:

	Sales		% of Total Sales			Sales		% of Total Sales
Graphite Electrodes	$	9,263,690		29.9	%	$	6,717,487		43.7	%
Fine Grain Graphite		12,977,109		41.9	%		6,339,776		41.3	%

Total	$	30,994,150				$	15,369,978

(1) “Other” sales represent revenue generated by sales of semi-processed products and other types of products

Cost of sales; gross margin.

Our cost of goods sold consists of cost of raw materials, utility, labor cost and depreciation expenses on manufacturing facilities. During the year ended December 31, 2010, our cost of goods sold was $24,062,354, as compared to cost of goods sold of $13,192,496 during the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $10,869,858, or approximately 82.4%. This increase reflects the increase in sales in 2010. Our gross profit increased $4,754,314, or 218.34%, from $6,931,796 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $2,177,482 for the year ended December 31, 2009. Our gross margin increased from 14.2% in 2009 to 22.4% in 2010 because the variance in production mix, as in the year ended December 31, 2010 we sold a greater proportion of higher margin products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $4,342,274 for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $2,960,578 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $1,381,696, or approximately 46.67%.

Our selling expenses consist of shipping and handling expenses and exhibition expenses. Selling expenses decreased from $365,865 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $186,693 for the year ended December 31, 2010, or 48.97%. The decrease was due to a decrease in shipping and handling fees in the fiscal year of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. In the fiscal year of 2010 more products were picked up by customers, which is customary in the industry for some of our higher margin products, which caused less shipping and handling fee.

Our general and administrative expenses consist of salaries, office expenses, utility, business travel, amortization expenses and public company expenses such as legal, accounting, investor relations as well as stock compensation. General and administrative expenses were $4,155,581 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $2,594,713 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase of the general and administrative expenses is due primarily to increased professional expenses as a public company and to a $1.3 million bad debt expense which is reserved as an accounts receivable allowance. The increased receivable allowance is in line with increased accounts receivable.

Depreciation and amortization expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $163,310 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $75,352 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $87,958, or approximately 116.73%. The increase is related to more fixed assets and intangible assets to be depreciated and amortized in 2010.

Income from operations.

As a result of the factors described above, operating income amounted to $2,426,212 for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to operating loss of $858,448 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of approximately $3,284,660, or 382.63%.

-28-

Other income and expenses.

Interest expense was $1,366,104 for 2010, as compared with $833,854 in 2009, reflecting increased interest payments on loans from banks. Other income, which consisted of government grants, was $24,589 in 2010 as compared to $644,654 in 2009. Expenses from change in fair value of warrants as a result of adopting ASC 820-10, Fair value measurement for non-financial assets and liabilities, was $385,661 for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $309,287 of loss from change in fair value of warrants for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Income tax.

During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we benefited from a 100% tax holiday from the PRC enterprise tax. As a result, we had no income tax due for these periods. The enterprise income tax at the statutory rates would have been approximately $424,549 and $59,554, respectively, for 2010 and 2009 without the consideration of adjustments on taxable income.

Net income.

As a result of the factors described above, our net income for the year ended December 31, 2010 was 1,383,391, as compared to net loss of $1,474,276 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $2,857,667, or 193.84%.

Foreign currency translation.

Our financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars but the functional currency of our operating subsidiary is RMB. Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. Our foreign currency translation gain for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $1,307,351, as compared to $45,949 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $1,261,402, or 2,745.22%. The reason for the increased foreign currency translation gain is due to increased equity and increased value of RMB currency during the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period last year.

Deemed preferred stock dividend.

As a result of the private placement on January 13, 2010, we incurred a preferred stock deemed dividend of $132,778, of which $86,221 represented the intrinsic value of the conversion feature of the warrants issued with the preferred stock and $46,557 represented the allocated value of the warrants. The deemed preferred stock dividend is a non-cash charge which did not affect our operations or cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2010. There was no comparable item in the year ended December 31, 2009.

As a result of the private placement on December 22, 2009, we incurred a preferred stock deemed dividend of $772,982, of which $545,474 representing the intrinsic value of the conversion feature of the warrants issued with the preferred stock and $227,508 representing the allocated value of the warrants. The deemed preferred stock dividend is a non-cash charge that did not affect our operations or cash flow in 2009.

Dividend.

Pursuant to the terms of private offering, the Series B preferred stock offers a 6% coupon. The preferred stock dividend is payable quarterly commencing April 1, 2010. As a result, we incurred dividend expense of $101,043 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Net income available to common shareholders.

Net income available for common shareholders was $1,149,570, or $0.07 and $0.06 per share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to net loss of $(2,247,258), or $(0.16) per share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our primary capital needs have been to fund our working capital requirements. Our primary sources of financing have been cash generated from operations, short-term and long-term loans from banks in China, and loans from a related party. In addition, in December 2009 and January 2010, we raised an aggregate of approximately $3 million in a private placement transaction. At December 31, 2010, we had short term loans in the aggregate amount of $33.30 million outstanding, as described below. In addition, on January 11, 2011, we entered into a short-term bank loan with China Construction Bank for a total of $4.6 million. The loan has an interest rate of 6.06%, is due in January 2012 and is secured by property, equipment and land use rights.

We have short term bank loans of $0.68 million that were due in February 2011 and bear interest at an annual rate of 12.213% and of $5.310 million bearing interest at 6.903% and due in June 2011. The short-term bank loans are secured by a security interest in certain equipment, property and land use rights. The $0.68 short term bank loan that was due in February 2011 was paid back in February 2011.

We entered into four short-term bank loans with China Construction Bank for a total of $27 million between August 6 and September 16, 2010. The first of these loans was for $6.068 million on August 6, 2010 at an interest rate of 5.31% per year and has a maturity date of August 5, 2011. The second loan was for $6.068 million on August 23, 2010 at an interest rate of 5.31% per year and has a maturity date of August 22, 2011. The third loan was for $6.068 million on September 6, 2010 at an interest rate of 5.31% per year and has a maturity date of September 5, 2011. The fourth loan was for $9.102 million on September 16, 2010 at an interest rate of 5.31% per year and has a maturity date of September 15, 2011. Interest on each loan is payable quarterly. Each of these loans will be renewable at the lender’s discretion. The loan agreements provide for events of default and operating and financial covenants typical for loan transactions of this type. Proceeds of the loans were used by us in the third and fourth quarters of 2010 for working capital purposes, including primarily the purchase of inventory and the payment of advances to suppliers to lock in raw material prices. As of December 31, 2010, the balance for these four short-term bank loans was $27,306,000.

We have also obtained a long-term bank loan, in the principal amount of $3.2 million, $1.6 million of which was due in October 2010 and the remainder of which is due in October 2011. This loan bears interest at an annual rate of 6.75%. This loan of $3.2 million was paid in full by December 31, 2010.

Historically we have rolled over our short term loans on an annual basis. Although we believe that we will be able to obtain extensions of these loans when they mature, we cannot assure you that such extensions will be granted. In the event the loans are not extended and we default in our obligations the lenders could call the loans, foreclose on the collateral securing the loans and seek other remedies. In such an event, our operations and financial conditions would be materially adversely affected and we would be forced to cease operations if alternative funding is not obtained.

We expect that anticipated cash flows from operations, short-term and long-term bank loans and loans from a related party will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least the next twelve months, provided that:

	We generate sufficient business so that we are able to generate substantial profits, which cannot be assured;

	Our banks continue to provide us with the necessary working capital financing; and

	We are able to generate savings by improving the efficiency of our operations.

In December 2009 and January 2010, we raised an aggregate of approximately $3 million in a private placement transaction. We may require additional equity, debt or bank funding to finance acquisitions or to allow us to produce graphite for the nuclear industry, which are our primary growth strategies. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to enter into any financing agreements on terms favorable to us, if at all, especially considering the current global instability of the capital markets. In addition, although we expect to refinance our bank loans when they mature, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to refinance such loans on terms favorable to us, if at all.

At December 31, 2010, cash and cash equivalents were $296,312, as compared to $2,709,127 at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $2,412,815. Our working capital decreased by $7,793,460 to $4,166,712 at December 31, 2010 from a working capital of $11,960,172 at December 31, 2009. Despite the capital raise of $3.0 million in a private placement transaction in December 2009 and January 2010, and additional borrowing from banks, our cash position decreased due to our strategy to increase inventory and advance to suppliers, as well as our capital expenditures in our plant, property, and equipment in the second half of 2010.

As of December 31, 2010, accounts receivable, net of allowance, was $6,222,112, as compared to $5,170,419 at December 31, 2009, an increase of $1,051,693, or 20.34%. The increase was in line with our increased sales.

As of December 31, 2010, inventories were $26,432,217, as compared to $16,430,754 at December 31, 2009, an increase of $10,001,463, or 60.87%. The Company has purchased increased levels of inventories to be better prepared for increased demand for our products once our new facility is operational. Since we expect raw material prices to increase, we already purchased inventory in order to lock in current raw material prices.

As of December 31, 2010, prepaid expenses were $573,094, as compared to $50,000 at December 31, 2009, an increase of $523,094, or 1,046.19%. The increased prepaid expenses are mainly prepaid VAT taxes.

Advance to suppliers increased from $790,767 at December 31, 2009 to $10,198,602 at December 31, 2010, an increase of $9,407,835. The increase reflects new notes guaranteeing future payable obligations as requested by certain of our suppliers to settle trade liabilities in respect of future deliveries to be incurred in the ordinary course; the notes are guaranteed by a bank acceptable to the supplier. The notes are interest-free with maturity of six months from date of issuance. The Company has increased advance to suppliers to be better prepared for increased demand for our products once our new facility is operational.

Trade notes payable reflect our obligations to bank lenders who have guaranteed our future payable obligations as requested by certain of our suppliers.

Accounts payable increased from $2,005,583 at December 31, 2009 to $5,452,743 at December 31, 2010, an increase of $3,447,160. The increase reflects increased payables for vendor payments due to increased production. The production increased as the market recovered and the demand for our products increased.

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2009

The following table sets forth information about our net cash flow for the years indicated:

Cash Flows Data:
	For Year Ended December 31
	2010			2009
Net cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(10,136,493	)	$	1,890,356
Net cash flows used in investing activities	$	(13,285,972	)	$	(4,529,731	)
Net cash flows provided by financing activities	$	21,002,858		$	5,295,626

-31-

Net cash flow used in operating activities was $10,136,493 in fiscal year of 2010 as compared to net cash flow provided by operating activities of $1,890,536 in fiscal year of 2009, a decrease of $12,026,849. The decrease was mainly due to our increased inventory and advance to suppliers to better prepare growing sales, offset by the increase of long term accounts payable.

Net cash flow used in investing activities was $13,285,972 for the fiscal year of 2010 and $4,529,731 for the fiscal year of 2009, a increase of $8,756,241. The increase was mainly due to more land use right and constructions in progress were acquired.

Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $21,002,858 for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $5,295,626 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $15,707,232. The increase was mainly because in 2010, we borrowed about $27 million short term bank loan.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including the allowance for doubtful accounts, the salability and recoverability of our products, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition of Financial Statements, formerly known as Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, which states that revenue should be recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the service has been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Sales represent the invoiced value of goods, net of value added tax (“VAT”), if any, and are recognized upon delivery of goods and passage of title.

Comprehensive Income

We have adopted Statements of ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, formerly known as SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. We have chosen to report comprehensive income (loss) in the statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740 Income Tax, formerly known as SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence attributable to the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Chinese new income tax law sets unified income tax rate for domestic and foreign companies at 25% except a 15% corporate income tax rate for qualified high technology and science enterprises. In accordance with this new income tax law, low preferential tax rate in accordance with both the tax laws and administrative regulations prior to the promulgation of this Law gradually becomes subject to the new tax rate within five years after the implementation of this law.

-32-

We have been recognized as a high technology and science company by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the PRC. The Xing He District Local Tax Authority in the Nei Mongol province granted us a 100% tax holiday with respect to enterprise income tax for ten years 2008 through 2018. Afterwards, based on the present tax law and our status as a qualified high technology and science company, we will be subject to a corporation income tax rate of 15% effective in 2019.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, and net realizable value. Work in progress and finished goods are composed of direct material, direct labor and a portion of manufacturing overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose. Management believes that there was no obsolete inventory as of December 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Major expenditures for betterments and renewals are capitalized while ordinary repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets after taking into account the estimated residual value.

Land Use Rights

There is no private ownership of land in China. All land ownership is held by the government of China, its agencies and collectives. Land use rights are obtained from government, and are typically renewable. Land use rights can be transferred upon approval by the land administrative authorities of China (State Land Administration Bureau) upon payment of the required transfer fee. We have the land use rights to an area of 386,853 square meters in Xinghe County, Inner Mongolia, China, for a term of 50 years, beginning from issuance date of the certificates granting the land use right. In addition to the land use right mentioned above, China government has also issued the Company a land use certificate of 387,838 square meters land, for which the Company has not signed a land use right agreement and has not paid. This 387,838 square meters land use right was used as collateral by the Company for its short term bank loan. The land use right has a term of 50 years, with expiration date of January 2060. The cost of this 387,838 square meters land is approximately $14,000,000. We record the property subject to land use rights as intangible asset.

Each intangible asset is reviewed periodically or more often if circumstances dictate, to determine whether its carrying value has become impaired. We consider assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. We also re-evaluate the amortization periods to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.

Research and development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, and are included in general and administrative expenses. These costs primarily consist of cost of material used and salaries paid for the development of our products and fees paid to third parties. Our research and development expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 has not been significant.

Value added tax

Pursuant to China’s VAT rules and regulations, as an ordinary VAT taxpayer we are subject to a tax rate of 17% (“output VAT”). The output VAT is payable after offsetting VAT paid by us on purchases (“input VAT”). Under the commercial practice of the PRC, the Company paid VAT and business tax based on tax invoices issued.

The tax invoices may be issued subsequent to the date on which revenue is recognized, and there may be a considerable delay between the date on which the revenue is recognized and the date on which the tax invoice is issued. In the event that the PRC tax authorities dispute the date of which revenue is recognized for tax purposes, the PRC tax office has the right to assess a penalty, which can range from zero to five times the amount of the taxes that are determined to be late or deficient. In the event that a tax penalty is assessed on late or deficient payments, the penalty will be expensed as a period expense if and when a determination has been made by the taxing authorities that a penalty is due. We have been granted an exemption from VAT by the Xinghe County People’s Government and Xinghe Tax Authority on some products for which an exchange agreement is in place for raw materials and fuel. We have been granted an exemption from VAT by the Xing He County People’s Government and Xing He Tax Authority on some products in which an exchange agreement is in place for raw materials and fuel.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In July 2010, the FASB issued an accounting update to provide guidance to enhance disclosures related to the credit quality of a company's financing receivables portfolio and the associated allowance for credit losses. Pursuant to this accounting update, a company is required to provide a greater level of disaggregated information about its allowance for credit loss with the objective of facilitating users' evaluation of the nature of credit risk inherent in the company's portfolio of financing receivables, how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses, and the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. The revised disclosures as of the end of the reporting period are effective for the Company beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, and the revised discourses related to activities during the reporting period are effective for the Company beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting update on its financial disclosures.

In December 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance related to Business Combinations. The amendments affect any public entity that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. The amendments specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will assess the impact of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements if and when an acquisition occurs.

In December 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance related to intangibles—goodwill and other. The amendments modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not believe that this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The FASB has issued amended guidance for subsequent events. The amendment removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The FASB also clarified that if the financial statements have been revised, then an entity that is not an SEC filer should disclose both the date that the financial statements were issued or available to be issued and the date the revised financial statements were issued or available to be issued. The FASB believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the SEC's literature. All of the amendments were effective upon issuance (February 24, 2010). The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The Company has reviewed the Accounting Standards Updates up through 2011-02.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

China Carbon Graphite Group, Inc.

Chengguantown, Inner Mongolia

China

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of China Carbon Graphite Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of China Carbon Graphite Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

China Carbon Graphite Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For The Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009

1. Organization and Business

China Carbon Graphite Group, Inc. (the “Company”), is a Nevada corporation, incorporated on February 13, 2003 under the name Achievers Magazine Inc. In connection with the reverse acquisition transaction described below, the Company’s corporate name was changed to China Carbon Graphite Group, Inc. on January 30, 2008.

On December 17, 2007, the Company completed a share exchange pursuant to a share exchange agreement, dated as of December 14, 2007, with Sincere Investment (PTC), Ltd. (“Sincere”), a British Virgin Islands corporation, which is the sole stockholder of Talent International Investment Limited (“Talent”), a British Virgin Islands corporation, which is the sole stockholder of Xinghe Yongle Carbon Co., Ltd. (“Yongle”), a company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, the Company, then known as Achievers Magazine, Inc., issued 9,388,172 shares of common stock to Sincere in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Talent, and Talent became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. From and after December 17, 2007, the Company’s sole business became the business of Talent, its subsidiaries and its affiliated variable interest entities.

Talent owns 100% of the stock of Yongle, which is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise under the laws of the PRC. Yongle is a party to a series of contractual arrangements with Xinghe Xingyong Carbon Co., Ltd. (“Xingyong”), a corporation organized under the laws of the PRC. Xingyong’s sole stockholder was, at the time of the transaction, the Company’s chief executive officer. These agreements give the Company the ability to operate and manage the business of Xingyong and to derive the profit (or sustain the loss) from Xingyong’s business. As a result, the operations of Xingyong are consolidated with those of the Company for financial reporting purposes. The relationship among the above companies is as follows:

F-7

The Company manufactures graphite electrodes, fine grain graphite, high purity graphite and other carbon derived products.

Stock distribution

On January 22, 2008, the Company effected a 1.6-for-one stock distribution whereby each share of common stock became converted into 1.6 shares of common stock. All references to share and per share information in these financial statements reflect this stock distribution.

2. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The Company maintains its books and accounting records in Renminbi (“RMB”), and its reporting currency is United States dollars.

The financial statements have been prepared in order to present the financial position and results of operations of the Company, its subsidiaries and Xingyong, which is an affiliated company whose financial condition is consolidated with the Company pursuant to Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 810-10, formerly known as FIN 46R, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

F-8

Yongle and Xingyong are under common control. At the time of the acquisition, Mr. Denyong Jin was the chief executive officer and principal stockholder of Xingong. Sincere Investment (PLC) Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company, as trustee, is the Company’s principal stockholder. Lizhong Gao is president and sole stockholder of Sincere. The beneficiaries of the trust are Shulian Gao, who is Mr. Jin’s wife, and Wenyu Li, who is Mr. Jin’s sister-in-law. Lizhong Gao is Mr. Jin’s brother-in-law.

Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, common control exists where immediate family members hold more than 50% of the voting ownership interest in each of the entities. Under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, an immediate family member of a person includes that person’s “child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law.”

Since more than 50% of Xingyong’s equity is owned by Mr. Jin and more than 50% of the Company’s equity is owned by a company that is owned by Mr. Jin’s brother-in-law and in which Mr. Jin’s wife and sister-in-law are the beneficiaries, the companies are under common control and there is no revaluation of assets. The following table reflects the relationship.

Denyong Jin and members of his immediate family

Control of Xingyong through majority stock ownership			Control of the Company and Yongle through majority stock ownership of the Company, with the Company being the 100% beneficial owner of Yongle

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Talent and Yongle, as well as Xingyong, which is a variable interest entity whose financial statements are consolidated with those of the Company pursuant to ASC 810. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the combination.

ASC 810 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the variable interest entity or is entitled to receive a majority of the variable interest entity’s residual returns. Variable interest entities are those entities in which the Company, through contractual arrangements, bears the risks of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entities, and therefore the Company is the primary beneficiary of these entities.

F-9

Yongle is a party to a series of contractual arrangements with Xingyong. These agreements include a management agreement pursuant to which 80% to 100% of Xingyong’s net income after deduction of necessary expenses, if any, is paid to Yongle and Yongle is responsible for paying Xingyong’s obligations incurred in connection with its business. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, Xingyong paid 100% of net income to Yongle. In addition, Yongle manages and controls all of the funds of Xingyong. Yongle also has the right to purchase Xingyong’s equipment and patents and lease its manufacturing plants, land and remaining equipment. This agreement is designed so that Yongle can conduct its business in China. Pursuant to two other agreements, the sole stockholder of Xingyong, who was, at the time of the transaction, the Company’s chief executive officer, has pledged all of his equity in Xingyong as security for performance of Xingyong’s obligations to Yongle. As a result, Xingyong is considered a variable interest entity.

Yongle’s business license was issued on September 13, 2007. According to PRC rules and regulations, Talent was required to pay 20% of its capital investment in Yongle, or $800,000, within three months, which would have been due on December 12, 2007, and the remaining 80%, or $3,200,000, within two years from the date of issuance of business license, which would have been September 12, 2009. On May 21, 2009, the Company's board of directors approved the reduction of Talent’s investment in Yongle from $4,000,000 to $100,000 and the reduction of Yongle's registered capital from $4,000,000 to $100,000. The Company believes that these actions effectively eliminated possible fines or penalties by the PRC business bureau that could result from the Company’s failure to pay the registered capital when required. All governmental approval to the reduction in capital was obtained and Talent paid the $100,000 investment to Yongle in full in August 2009.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of estimates - The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported periods.

Significant estimates included values and lives assigned to acquired property, equipment and intangible assets, reserves for customer returns and allowances, uncollectible accounts receivable, slow moving, obsolete and/or damaged inventory and stock warrant valuation. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

F-10

Cash and cash equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity period of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value. Most of the Company’s cash is held in bank accounts in the PRC and is not protected by FDIC insurance or any other similar insurance. The Company’s bank account in the United States is protected by FDIC insurance.

Accounts receivable - Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.

Inventory - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. Market value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to complete the sale.

The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchases, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The costs of conversion of inventories include fixed and variable production overhead, taking into account the stage of completion.

Property and equipment - Property and equipment is stated at the historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Land use rights are being amortized to expense on a straight line basis over the life of the rights. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for both financial and income tax reporting purposes as follows:

Buildings			25 - 40 years
Machinery and equipment			10 - 20 years
Motor vehicles			5 years

Expenditures for renewals and betterments were capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are normally charged to the statement of operations in the year in which they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the asset.

Upon sale or disposal of an asset, the historical cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of such asset were removed from their respective accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the statements of income.

F-11

The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. Based on this assessment there was no impairment recorded during the years ended at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Construction in progress - Construction in progress represents the costs incurred in connection with the construction of buildings or additions to the Company’s plant facilities. No depreciation is provided for construction in progress until such time as the assets are completed and placed into service.

Land use rights - There is no private ownership of land in the PRC. The Company has acquired land use rights to a total of 386,853 square meters. The land use rights have terms of 50 years, with the land use right relating to 130,220 square meters expiring in 2052 and the land use right with respect to 256,633 square meters expiring in 2053. In addition to the land use right mentioned above, China government has also issued the Company a land use certificate of 387,838 square meters land, for which the Company has not signed a land use right agreement and has not paid. This 387,838 square meters land use right was used as collateral by the Company for its short term bank loan. The land use right has a term of 50 years, with expiration date of January 2060. The cost of this 387,838 square meters land is approximately $14,000,000. The cost of the land use rights is amortized over the 50-year term of the land use right. The Company evaluates the carrying value of intangible assets during the fourth quarter of each year and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the intangible asset below its carrying amount. There were no impairments recorded during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Income recognition - Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition of Financial Statements, formerly known as Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, which states that revenue should be recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the service has been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company believes that these criteria are satisfied when the goods are shipped pursuant to a purchase order.

Interest income is recognized when earned.

Advertising - The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. There was no advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

F-12

Shipping and handling costs - The Company follows ASC 605-45, Handling Costs, Shipping Costs, formerly known as Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs. The Company does not charge its customers for shipping and handling. The Company classifies shipping and handling costs as part of its operating expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, shipping and handling costs were $125,505 and $349,526, respectively.

Segment reporting - ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, formerly known as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No 131, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. Under this model, segment reporting is consistent with the manner that the Company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

The Company only sells carbon graphite products and sells only to Chinese distributors and end users and is in only one business segment.

Taxation - Taxation on profits earned in the PRC has been calculated on the estimated assessable profits for the year at the rates of taxation prevailing in the PRC where the Company operates after taking into effect the benefits from any special tax credits or “tax holidays” allowed in the county of operations.

The Company does not accrue United States income tax since it has no operation in the United States. Its operating subsidiaries are organized and located in the PRC and do not conduct any business in the United States.

In 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes, formerly known as FIN 48, which clarifies the application of SFAS 109 by defining a criterion that an individual income tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and provides guidance on measurement, recognition, classification, accounting for interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. In accordance with the transition provisions, the Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007.

The Company recognizes that virtually all tax positions in the PRC are not free of some degree of uncertainty due to tax law and policy changes by the state. The Company cannot reasonably quantify political risk factors and thus must depend on guidance issued by current government officials.

F-13

Based on all known facts and circumstances and current tax law, the Company believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2010 is not material to its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company also believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2010, if recognized, would not have a material effect on its effective tax rate. The Company further believes that there are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible, based on current Chinese tax law and policy, that the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease over the next twelve months producing, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Enterprise income tax - Effective January 1, 2008, the new income tax law sets unified income tax rate for domestic and foreign companies at 25% except a 15% corporation income tax rate for qualified high technology and science enterprises. In accordance with this new income tax law, low preferential tax rate in accordance with both the tax laws and administrative regulations prior to the promulgation of this Law shall gradually transit to the new tax rate within five years after the implementation of this law.

The Company has been recognized as a high technology and science company by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the PRC. Therefore, Xing He District Local Tax Authority in the Nei Mongol province granted to the Company a tax holiday from 100% of enterprises income tax for 10 years from 2008 through 2018. Afterwards, based on the present tax law and the Company’s status as a high technology and science company, the Company will be subject to a corporation income tax rate of 15% effective in 2019.

The enterprise income tax is calculated on the basis of the statutory profit as defined in the PRC tax laws. This statutory profit computed differently from the Company’s net income under U.S. GAAP.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, 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. The effect of deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

F-14

Value added tax - The Provisional Regulations of the PRC Concerning Value Added Tax promulgated by the State Council came into effect on January 1, 1994. Under these regulations and the Implementing Rules of the Provisional Regulations of the PRC Concerning Value Added Tax, value added tax (“VAT”) is imposed on goods sold in or imported into the PRC and on processing, repair and replacement services provided within the PRC.

VAT payable in the PRC is charged on an aggregated basis at a rate of 13% or 17% (depending on the type of goods involved) on the full price collected for the goods sold or, in the case of taxable services provided, at a rate of 17% on the charges for the taxable services provided, but excluding, in respect of both goods and services, any amount paid in respect of VAT included in the price or charges, and less any deductible value added tax already paid by the taxpayer on purchases of goods and services in the same financial year.

The Company has been granted an exemption from VAT by the Xing He County People’s Government and Xing He Tax Authority on some products in which an exchange agreement is in place for raw materials and fuel.

Contingent liabilities and contingent assets - A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognized because it is not probable that the Company will incur a liability or obligations as a result. A contingent liability, which might occur but is not probable, is not recorded but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The Company will recognize a liability or obligation when it is probable that the Company will incur it.

A contingent asset is an asset, which could possibly arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain events not wholly within the control of the Company. Contingent assets are not recorded but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when it is likely that the Company will recognize an economic benefit. When the benefit is virtually certain, the asset is recognized.

Retirement benefit costs - According to PRC regulations on pensions, the Company contributes to a defined contribution retirement program organized by the municipal government in the province in which the Company was registered and all qualified employees are eligible to participate in the program. Contributions to the program are calculated at 23.5% of the employees’ salaries above a fixed threshold amount and the employees contribute 2% to 8% while the Company contributes the remaining 15.5% to 21.5%. The Company has no other material obligation for the payment of retirement benefits beyond the annual contributions under this program.

F-15

In addition, the Company is required by Chinese laws to cover employees in China with various types of social insurance. The Company believes that it is in material compliance with the relevant PRC laws.

Fair value of financial instruments - On January 1, 2008, the Company began recording financial assets and liabilities subject to recurring fair value measurement at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. On January 1, 2009 the Company began recording non-recurring financial as well as all non-financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurement under the same principles. These fair value principles prioritize valuation inputs across three broad levels. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

Effective January 1, 2009, warrants to purchase 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock previously treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption are no longer afforded equity treatment because the strike price of the warrants is denominated in the U.S. dollar, a currency other than the Company’s functional currency, the Chinese Renminbi. As a result, the warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of these warrants will be recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised or expired.

In July 2009, warrants to purchase 5,875,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised through cashless conversion. The fair value of the exercised warrants amounted to $840,173 at July 29, 2009. The remaining 125,000 warrants had a fair value of $10,913 as of December 31, 2009. Therefore, the Company recognized a total amount of $165,886 of loss from the change in fair value of these warrants for the year ended December 31, 2009.

On October 15, 2009, the Company issued warrants (“2009 Warrants”) to purchase 100,000 common stock at $2.00 and 200,000 common stock at $3.00 pursuant to a consulting agreement. The fair value of the warrants at the issuance date and December 31, 2009 was $50,840 and $22,190, respectively. The Company recognized $28,650 of income from change in fair value of these warrants for the year ended December 31, 2009.

On December 22, 2009, the Company sold 2,160,500 shares of its Series B preferred stock with Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,064,200 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.30 per Warrant, which are exercisable within five years of the closing date; (the “2009 Series B Warrants”). These warrants were treated as a derivative liability because the strike price of the warrants is denominated in the U.S. dollar, a currency other than the Company’s functional currency, the Chinese Renminbi. As a result, the warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of these warrants will be recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised or expired. The fair value of the warrants at December 22, 2009 ((“issuance date”) amounted to $342,997. The fair value of the warrants at December 31, 2009 was $520,674. As a result, the Company recognized $177,677 of loss from the change in fair value of these warrants for the year ended December 31, 2009.

As a result of the transactions above, additional paid in capital of $398,804 and retained earning of $309,287 was reclassified from equity to liability. And the Company recorded a warrant liability of $708,091 to reflect the fair value of these warrants.

Net proceeds of $339,010 had been received and recorded as equity. In connection to the private placement, the Company also issued a five-year warrant expiring on January 13, 2015 to purchase 16,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.32 per share and paid the private placement agent a transaction fee of $38,400 equal to 10% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement.

F-18

Warrants referred to in the preceding paragraphs do not trade in an active securities market, and as such, the Company estimates the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

Expected volatility is based on the annualized daily historical volatility over a period of one year. The Company believes this method produces an estimate that is representative of the Company’s expectations of future volatility over the expected term of these warrants. The expected life is based on the remaining term of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities according to the remaining term of the warrants.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that was accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2010.

	Carrying Value at December 31,		Fair Value Measurement at December 31, 2010
	2010		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Warrant liability	$	73,121		-		-	$	73,121

The Company did not identify any other non-recurring assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

Foreign currency translation - The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company is the local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. Translation adjustments for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 are $1,307,351 and $45,949, respectively. The cumulative translation adjustment and effect of exchange rate changes on cash for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $6,791 and $1,077, respectively. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

Asset and liability accounts at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were translated at 6.5920 RMB to $1.00 USD and at 6.8172 RMB to $1.00 USD, respectively. Equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were 6.7613 RMB and 6.8409 RMB to $1.00 USD, respectively. In accordance with ASC 230, "Statement of Cash Flows," cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

F-20

Earnings per share - Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock consist of the common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt, preferred stock and warrants. The Company has outstanding warrants to purchase 1,613,225 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.30- $3.00 per share. The Company uses the if-converted method to calculate the dilutive preferred stock and the treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive shares issuable upon exercise of warrants.

The following table sets forth the computation of the number of net income per share for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

	2010		2009
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding (basic)		17,323,979		13,800,052
Shares issuable upon conversion of series A preferred stock		-		125,000
Shares issuable upon conversion of series B preferred stock		1,225,000		-
Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants		-		467,398
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding (diluted)		18,548,979		14,426,518
Net income (loss) available to common shareholders	$	1,149,570	$	(2,247,258	)
Net income (loss) per shares of common stock (Basic)	$	0.07	$	(0.16	)
Net income (loss) per shares of common stock (diluted)	$	0.06	$	(0.16	)

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company did not include any shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants, since such issuance would be anti dilutive.

Accumulated other comprehensive income - The Company follows ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income”, formerly known as SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, to recognize the elements of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders' equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. For the Company, comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 included net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.

F-21

Related parties - Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. Transactions with related parties are disclosed in the financial statements.

Reclassification - Certain 2009 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s financial statements presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recent accounting pronouncements

F-22

The Company has reviewed the Accounting Standards Updates up through 2011-02.

4. Concentration of Business and Credit Risk

Most of the Company’s bank accounts are in banks located in the PRC and are not covered by any type of protection similar to that provided by the FDIC on funds held in U.S. banks. The Company’s bank account in the United States is covered by FDIC insurance.

The Company is operating in the PRC, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility of foreign exchange rates between U.S. dollars and the Chinese RMB.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash trade accounts receivables and inventories, the balances of which are stated on the balance sheet. The Company places its cash in banks located in China. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivables is limited due to the Company's large number of diverse customers in different locations in China. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk.

F-23

For the year ended December 31, 2010, four customers accounted for 10% or more of sales revenues, representing 24.0%, 16.0%, 12.0%, and 10.0%, respectively of the total sales. For the year ended December 31, 2009, two customers accounted for 10% or more of sales revenues, representing 22.0% and 20.0%, respectively of the total sales. As of December 31, 2010, there were two customers that constitute 41.5% and 29.5% of the accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2009, there were three customers that accounted for 17.6%, 15.4% and 14.0% respectively of the accounts receivable.

For the year ended December 31, 20009, there is no supplier which accounted for 10% o more of our total purchases. For the year ended December 31, 2010, four suppliers accounted for 10% or more of our total purchases, representing 28.0%, 24.0%, 21.0%, and 17.0%, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had insurance expense of $103,524 and $2,132 respectively. Accrual for losses is not recognized until such time a loss has occurred.

5. Income Taxes

Under the Provisional Regulations of The People’s Republic of China Concerning Income Tax on Enterprises promulgated by the PRC, which took effect on January 1, 2008, domestic and foreign companies pay a unified corporate income tax of 25% except a 15% corporation income tax rate for qualified high technology and science enterprises.

The Company has been granted a 100% tax holiday from enterprises income tax from the Xing He District Local Tax Authority for the ten years 2008 through 2018. This tax holiday could be challenged by higher taxing authorities in the PRC, which could result in taxes and penalties owed for those years. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, without the consideration of adjustments on taxable income, the enterprise income tax at the statutory rates would have been approximately $424,549 and $59,554, respectively.

A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes with amounts determined by the PRC statutory income tax rate to income before income taxes is as follows:

	December 31,
	2010			2009
Computed tax at the PRC statutory rate of 15%	$	424,549		$	59,554
Benefit of tax holiday		(424,549	)		(59,554	)

The board of directors has designated the rights, preferences, privileges and limitation of two series of preferred stock -- the series A convertible preferred stock (“series A preferred stock”) and the series B convertible preferred stock (“series B preferred stock”).

F-27

On December 17, 2007, the Company issued its 3% promissory note in the amount of $1,200,000. Pursuant to the agreement pursuant to which the note was issued, upon the filing of restated articles of incorporation which provided for the creation of a series of preferred stock and the filing of a certificate of designation which created the series A preferred stock, the note would automatically be converted into 1,200,499 shares of series A preferred stock and warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock at $1.20 per share and 3,000,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share. On January 22, 2008, upon the filing of restated articles of incorporation and a statement of designation for the series A convertible preferred stock, and the outstanding convertible note was converted into such series A preferred stock and warrants.

The statement of designation for the series A preferred stock provides the following:

Each share of series A preferred stock is convertible into one share of common stock, at a conversion price of $1.00, subject to adjustment.

While the series A preferred stock is outstanding, if the Company issues common stock at a price or warrants or other convertible securities at a conversion or exercise price which is less than the conversion price then in effect, the conversion price shall be adjusted on a formula basis.

While the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, without the approval of the holders of 75% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company may not pay cash dividends or other distributions of cash, property or evidences of indebtedness, nor redeem any shares of Common Stock.

No dividends are payable with respect to the series A preferred stock.

Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of the series A preferred stock are entitled to a preference of $1.00 per share before any distributions or payments may be made with respect to the common stock or any other class or series of capital stock which is junior to the series A preferred stock upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.

The holders of the series A preferred stock have no voting rights. However, so long as any shares of series A preferred stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative approval of the holders of 75% of the outstanding shares of series A preferred stock then outstanding, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the series A preferred stock or alter or amend the certificate of designation, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation senior to or otherwise pari passu with the series A preferred stock, or any of preferred stock possessing greater voting rights or the right to convert at a more favorable price than the series A preferred stock, (c) amend our articles of incorporation or other charter documents in breach of any of the provisions thereof, (d) increase the authorized number of shares of series A preferred stock, or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing

Upon completion of the private placement on December 22, 2009, the Company issued (i) 2,160,500 shares of series B preferred stock, with each share of series B preferred stock being convertible into one share of common stock (ii) warrants to purchase 1,064,200 shares of common stock at $1.30 per share to investors and warrants to purchase 108,025 shares of common stock at $1.32 per share to the placement agent. At December 22, 2009, the fair value of the warrants used to calculate the intrinsic value of the conversion option was estimated at $286,801 and was computed using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include (1) risk-free interest rate at the date of grant (0.06%), (2) expected warrant life of 5 years, (3) expected volatility of 19%, and (4) 0% expected dividend. The Company used the market price of its common stock at December 22, 2009, $1.38 per share, computed fair value of the series B preferred stock at December 22, 2009 was $2,981,490 and the effective preferred stock conversion price to be $0.95 per share. The proceeds were allocated to the fair value of the warrant liability, the fair value of the conversion option and then the residual to the preferred stock. The difference between the face value of the preferred stock and the allocated value was recorded as an additional preferred stock dividend at the date of issuance as the preferred stock was convertible to common at issurance. The other preferred stock dividend amounted to $772,982 from the transactions.

Upon filing of the Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation on January 22, 2008, $1,200,000 of convertible notes were automatically converted into (i) 1,200,499 shares of preferred stock, with each share of series A preferred stock being convertible into one share of common stock and (ii) warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the common stock at $1.20 and 3,000,000 shares at $2.00 per share. At December 17, 2007, the fair value of the warrants used to calculate the intrinsic value of the conversion option was estimated at $3,831,900 and was computed using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the assumed issuance of the warrants on the date the notes were issued. Variables used in the option-pricing model include (1) risk-free interest rate at the date of grant (3.5%), (2) expected warrant life of 5 years, (3) expected volatility of 100%, and (4) 0% expected dividend. The Company used the market price of its common stock at December 17, 2007, $0.95 per share, and computed the effective preferred stock conversion price to be $0.24 per share. The resulting intrinsic value of the conversion feature was $854,300 reported as a deemed dividend.

As the series A preferred stock does not provide for redemption by the Company or have a finite life, upon the conversion to preferred stock, a one-time preferred stock deemed dividend of $854,300 was recognized immediately as a non-cash charge. The deemed preferred stock dividend of $854,300 has been recorded as additional paid-in capital and a reduction to retained earnings in 2008.

As previously disclosed, we entered into a letter of inent to acquire China Carbon Graphite Ltd. Negotiations relating to the potential acquistion are still ongoing and it is not certain that this acquisition will be consummated in 2010 if at all.

ITEM 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

Not required.

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including Donghai Yu, our chief executive officer, and Zhen Fang Yang, our chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2010.

Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.

Management conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive and financial officers concluded that because of the significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting previously disclosed in our SEC reports, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2010.

Management’s Report of Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act. Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”). Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on our evaluation, our management has concluded that during the periods covered by this report, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective. During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, management identified significant deficiencies related to (i) the U.S. GAAP expertise of our internal accounting staff, (ii) our internal audit functions and (iii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions. Management believes the aggregation of these significant deficiencies constitutes a material weakness.

A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting.

Our current internal accounting department responsible for financial reporting of the Company, on a consolidated basis, is relatively new to U.S. GAAP and the related internal control procedures required of U.S. public companies. Although our accounting staff is professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generally accepted in the PRC, management has determined that they require additional training and assistance in US GAAP matters. 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 deficiencies, we are seeking to engage an experienced accountant or firm to assist us in establishing procedures that will enable us to have, on an ongoing basis, personnel who understand US GAAP and the disclosure obligations under the Securities Exchange Act. We are committed to the establishment of effective internal audit functions; however, due to the scarcity of qualified candidates with extensive experience in US GAAP reporting and accounting in the region, we were not able to hire sufficient internal audit resources in order to enable us to have such procedures and controls established by the end of December 31, 2010.

During 2009, we elected three additional directors, who are independent, one of whom serves as the audit committee financial expert. The appointment of such directors helps management establish the necessary controls as required by Section 404 in 2010.

However, due to our size and nature, the segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals.

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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No changes in the internal control over our financial reporting have come to management's attention during our last fiscal year that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Controls

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Director Qualifications

We seek directors with established strong professional reputations and experience in areas relevant to the strategy and operations of our businesses. We seek directors who possess the qualities of integrity and candor, who have strong analytical skills and who are willing to engage management and each other in a constructive and collaborative fashion. We also seek directors who have the ability and commitment to devote significant time and energy to service on the Board and its committees. We believe that all of our directors meet the foregoing qualifications.

Board Committees

Effective October 28, 2009, the Company created audit, compensation and corporate governance/nominating committees.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Executive officers, directors and ten-percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than ten percent of our common stock failed to file a Form 3 upon becoming a Section 16 filer. In addition, in 2009, each of our directors failed to file a Form 4 to reflect the grant of an equity award. We intend to develop new procedures to ensure improved compliance on an on-going basis.
