NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
American Nano-Silicon Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “ANNO”) was originally incorporated in the State of California on September 6, 1996 as CorpHQ, Inc. (“CorpHQ”).
The Company, through its operating subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), Nanchong Chunfei Nano-Silicon Technologies Co., Ltd ("Nanchong Chunfei"), Sichuan Chunfei Refined Chemicals Co., Ltd. ("Chunfei Chemicals"), and Sichuan Hedi Veterinary Medicines Co., Ltd. ("Hedi Medicine"), is primarily engaged in the business of manufacturing and distributing refined consumer chemical products and veterinary drugs.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, the information included in these interim financial statements reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year.
Note 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
New Accounting Standards
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs,” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This new guidance is to be applied prospectively. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this standard will not materially affect its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. ASU 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This new guidance is to be applied retrospectively. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this standard will not change the presentation of its consolidated financial statements.

AMERICAN NANO SILICON TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements represent the consolidated accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Nanchong Chunfei, Chunfei Chemicals and Hedi Medicines. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests result from the consolidation of the 95% directly owned subsidiary, Nanchong Chunfei, the 85.5% indirectly owned subsidiary, Chunfei Chemicals, and the 78.66% indirectly owned subsidiary, Hedi Medicines.
Use of estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates required to be made by the management include, but are not limited to, the recoverability of long-lived assets and the valuation of accounts receivable and inventories, valuation of warrant liabilities and fair value of other financial instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and uncertainties
The operations of the Company are located in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, in addition to the general state of the PRC economy. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
6
AMERICAN NANO SILICON TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Fair value of financial instruments (Continued)
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other then quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, employee advances, prepaid expense and other receivables, advance to suppliers, short-term loan, accounts payable, tax payable, other payables and accrued expenses, approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the long-term loan approximates fair value based on market rates and terms currently available to the Company. The Company uses Level 3 inputs to measure fair value of their warrant liabilities (see note 13) and land use right (see note 6).
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in deposits and all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Accounts receivable, net
The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses on accounts receivable when they are considered to be doubtful. Accounts receivable on the balance sheet are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 of $22,662 and $21,891, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory consists of raw materials, packing supplies work-in-process and finished goods. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a weighted average basis. Market value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to complete the sale. Management compares the cost of inventory with the market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its market value, if lower. No allowance for inventories was made for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

(UNAUDITED)
Property, plant & equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and locations for its intended use. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-like method over the following useful lives:
Buildings and improvements
|
39 years
|
Machinery, equipment and automobiles
|
5-10 years
|
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction or acquisition and design fees incurred for the Company’s new plant and equipment. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until it is completed and ready for its intended use.
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with ASC 360, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company incurred an impairment loss of $2,164,935 on fixed assets due to moving a factory site.
Revenue recognition
In accordance with the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104, sales revenue is recognized when products are shipped and collection are reasonably assured. Payments received, if any, before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as advance from customers.
Shipping and handling
Shipping and handling costs incurred for shipping of finished products to customers are included in selling expense and totaled $ 3,936 and $5,884 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

Taxation
Enterprise income tax
The Company accounts for income tax under the provisions of ASC 740 "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of the events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences between tax and financial statements bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established against net deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company has provided full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010.
Value added tax
Value added tax is imposed on goods sold in or imported in the PRC. Value added tax payable in the People’s Republic of China 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 value added tax 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 value added tax payable for the Company as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 was $86,999 and $ 98,435, respectively, and is included in taxes payable
Earnings (Loss) per share
Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with the ASC 260, “Earnings per share.” Basic net earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, but excluding shares issued as compensation that have not yet vested. Diluted net earnings per share are based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised, and that all unvested shares have vested. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.
Statement of cash flows
In accordance with GAAP, cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. 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.

Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of account receivables, advances to suppliers and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its debtors and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts.
Foreign currency translation
The Company’s principal country of operations is in PRC. The financial position and results of operations of the Company are determined using the local currency, Renminbi (“RMB”), as the functional currency. Functional currency for U.S. parent company is USD. Foreign currency transactions are translated at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Equity accounts are translated in historical exchange rate when the transactions took place.
Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders' equity as "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income". Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translations, if any, are included in condensed consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income.

Other item represents the net income that could not be offset by loss incurred by other subsidiaries.
The Company incurred a net operating loss for U.S. income tax purposes for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. The net operating loss carry forwards, including share-based compensation, for United States income tax purposes amounted to $1,434,543 and $ 1,192,866 as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively, which may be available to reduce future years' taxable income. These carry forwards will expire, if not utilized, beginning in 2028 through 2030. Management believes that the realization of the benefits arising from these losses appear to be uncertain due to the Company's business operations being primarily conducted in China and foreign income not recognized in the US for United States income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively for the temporary difference related to the loss carry-forwards.

NOTE 13 – WARRANTS LIABILITY
On March 26, 2010, the Company issued 2,100,000 shares of common stock and 2,000,000 Warrants to purchase Common Stock (Series B warrants) to three accredited institutional funds and an accredited investor for $1,000,000. The Stock Purchase Agreement also provided the investors the right, which they exercised on June 10, 2010, to purchase an additional 2,100,000 shares of common stock and 2,000,000 Series B Warrants for additional $1,000,000. The Series B Warrants allow the holders, prior to March 2013, to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of common stock from ANNO for a price of $1.50 per share. The Series B Warrants may not be exercised if it would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common shares. Cashless exercise is permitted only if there is no effective registration statement permitting resale of the common shares underlying the Series B Warrants.
The Share Purchase Agreement provided that the Company would issue additional shares to the investors if the Company’s net income (adjusted to exclude certain non-cash items) was less than $4 million in fiscal year 2010 or less than $5 million in fiscal year 2011. Because the Company’s net income for fiscal year 2010, calculated according to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, was $3,737,593, the Company has an obligation to issue to the investors 259,197 additional shares. As of June 30, 2011, the Company was engaged in negotiations with the investors regarding a modification of this obligation.
The exercise price of the Series B Warrants is subject to adjustments in certain circumstances for stock splits, combinations, dividends and distributions, reclassification, exchange or substitution, reorganization, merger, consolidation or sales of assets, issuance of additional shares of common stock or equivalents. As a result of its interpretation of the adjustment provisions, the Company concluded that the Series B Warrants and Option to purchase additional common stock and Series B Warrants should be treated as derivative liabilities because the warrants are entitled to a price adjustment provision to allow the exercise price to be reduced in the event the Company issues or sells any additional shares of common stock at a price per share less than the then-applicable exercise price or without consideration, which is typically referred to as a “Down-round protection” or “anti-dilution” provision.

NOTE 15 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS.
In July 2011, the Company entered into a compromise with the investors in its March 2010 private placement, to whom the Company owed 259,197 additional shares. (See Note 13). Pursuant to the compromise agreement, in lieu of issuing the additional shares, the Company issued 190,000 shares and agreed to reduce the exercise price of the Series B Warrants. The exercise price of the 2,000,000 Series B Warrants purchased in March 2010 was reduced to $.70 per share. The exercise price of the 2,000,000 Series B Warrants purchased in June 2010 was reduced to $1.00 per share. In either case, however, the modified exercise prices apply only to exercise for cash. If the investors make a cashless exercise, the exercise price remains $1.50 per share. In connection with the compromise, the investors loaned $100,000 to the Company for one year interest-free.
In July the Company issued 16,807 shares as compensation to its independent directors

Overview
Prior to June 2008, the Company was engaged in the business of manufacturing and distributing refined consumer chemical products and veterinary drugs through its subsidiaries. However, our research indicated that the market for non-phosphorus detergent additives offered a significant opportunity. Our research indicated that in China 4A zeolite is the industry standard for non-phosphorus detergent agents and the feedback from our customers indicated that our product could challenge 4A zeolite for the leadership in the industry. For that reason, we developed a new Nano-Silicon production line, which was launched in July 2008. In the second half of 2009, the construction of our Micro-Nano Silicon product line was officially complete, with a production capacity of 30,000 tons annually. Currently we are planning to further expand our current capacity from 30,000 ton to 120,000 ton per year. As of June 30, 2011, our full production capacity was 50,680 tons.
Results of Operations
Revenues
Our revenues decreased by 48% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, and by 2% for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in revenue occurred because we moved our factory site during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 to facilitate an expansion of production capacity. Production was suspended during the move, which caused the decrease in sales. We expect production to resume during September 2011, after the production line on the new site is operational.
19
Although our sales growth is temporarily interrupted, we believe that growth will be significant once production resumes. Currently, the increasing number of infrastructure projects in China drives the demand for cement and other construction materials. In 2010, approximately two billion square meters of cement were produced in China, approximately half of worldwide production. Our management believes that we will be able to market Micro Nano Silicon to the cement industry to lower production costs and assist cement manufacturers' compliance with energy saving regulations. To take full advantage of this market opportunity we plan to increase our sales force to market our products beyond our regional base of customers. Since our sales already exceed the production capacity of our plant, we are investing aggressively in an expansion of our production capacity.
Gross Profit
The decrease in our cost of goods sold was approximately proportionate to the decrease in our revenues. Cost of goods sold, which consists primarily of labor, overhead and raw material cost, was $12,025,515 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, representing a decrease of $192,722 (2%) compared to the corresponding period last year. Cost of goods sold fell by 47% in the three months ended June 30, 2011. Gross margin fell from 26% in the three months ended June 30, 2010 to 24% in the three months ended June 30, 2011, but fell by only 0.1% from the first nine months of fiscal 2010 to the first nine months of fiscal 2011.
Within the next several quarters, the Company expects to develop additional applications for Micro-Nano Silicon. Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company commenced to distribute Micro-Nano Silicon as an accelerator for cement, thereby adding the construction material industry to our foundation in the non-phosphate detergent market. Other potential applications for Micro-Nano Silicon include use by the paint industry as a pigment agent and use by the plastics industry for structural reinforcement. These and other applications would affect our cost of goods sold, as the products that we would offer to the paint and plastics industries would involve greater manufacturing cost than our current detergent and cement products. In the meantime, as we expand production of our existing products, we are working to manage our cost of goods sold more efficiently. In particular, the expansion of our annual production capacity for Micro-Nano Silicon from 30,000 to 120,000 tons should enable us to manage our cost ratio more efficiently, which could increase our gross profit.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses, include expenses associated with salaries and other expenses related to marketing and administrative activities. In addition, we have incurred expenses through the use of consultants and other outsourced service providers to take advantage of specialized knowledge and capabilities that we require for short durations of time to avoid unnecessary hiring of full-time staff.
Our SG&A expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2010 were particularly high due to expenses incurred in connection with the financing completed in March 2010. As a result, our SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $230,848 lower than in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. For the same reason, SG&A expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 were $156,471 lower than SG&A expenses incurred in the nine months ended June 30, 2010. However, we expect that the March 2010 financing will represent only the first step of a more intensive relationship with the U.S. capital markets. If that is the case, then SG&A expense in the future is likely to include increased legal, accounting and other expenses relating to our obligations as a U.S. public company.

Research and Development Expenses
We believe that the future success of our business depends upon our ability to improve our production processes and develop additional uses for Micro Nano Silicon. To avoid product obsolescence, we will continue to monitor technological changes in our industry as well as users' demands for new products. Failure to keep pace with future technological changes could adversely affect our revenues and operating results in the future. Although we believe that Micro Nano Silicon can be utilized in a number of industries, there can be no assurance that we will gain market acceptance of our products in such industries.
Our business model is based upon developing additional uses for Micro-Nano Silicon. Our research and development activities are focus on developing such uses as well as developing nano filtering technology and the production processes for our product. Toward those ends, we have entered into cooperative research and development agreements with the China Academy of Science, a technology research institution, and Southwest University of Science and Technology’s Department of Material Science and Engineering to assist us in our research and development activities.
Despite our commitment to research and development, our immediate need during fiscal 2011 has been on expansion of our production capacity. For that reason, we suspended our research and development activities and focused the attention of our staff on the logistics of our move to a new facility. During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, therefore, we incurred no research and development expense. By comparison, our research and development expenses during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010 were $73,564 and $81,283, respectively.
Other income and expense
In March and June 2010 we sold 4 million series B warrants. The warrants permit the investors to buy additional common shares at the prices specified in the warrant agreements. Because the exercise price of the warrants may change in certain circumstances, the fair value of the warrants has been recorded as warrant liabilities on our balance sheet. At the end of each quarter, we re-calculate the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes model, and record any increase or decrease in that fair value as other income or other expense. Because the market price of our common stock fell during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, the fair value of the warrants fell by $1,516,860 and $2,377,293 in those periods respectively, which was recognized on our Statements of Operations as “other income.” If in future quarters the warrants increase in value (e.g. by reason of an increase in the market price of our common stock), we will record an “other expense” equal to the amount of the increase.
The other major element of Other Income and Expense during the recent period was the impairment loss of $2,164,935 that we incurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The impairment occurred in connection with the relocation of our manufacturing facility, as we were required to scrap manufacturing equipment with a book value in that amount.
21
Net Income
Our income from operations during fiscal 2011 declined from the prior year, roughly in proportion to the decline in our revenue. Our net income, however, was affected more by the dramatic effects of our 2010 financing than by actual operations. As a result, although operating income fell by 51% in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010, our net loss during the recent quarter was only $157,738 compared to a net loss of $4,468,048 in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The primary reason for the discrepancy was the gain of $1,516,860 resulting from the decline in value of our warrants in the recent quarter compared to an expense of $3,364,489 incurred in the third quarter of 2010 as a result of an increase in the value of the warrants. Similarly, although income from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was only $158,907 greater than we realized during the nine months ended June 30, 2010, we reported a net income of $2,947,049 during the recent nine month period, but a net loss of $8,154,509 in the nine months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to expenses of $10,444,055 arising from the financing completed in fiscal 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2011 we had a working capital deficit of $3,458,881, reflecting an increase of $1,858,953 in the deficit since our last fiscal year ended on September 30, 2010. The increase in our working capital deficit occurred primarily as a result of the financing of our factory relocation. The current liabilities are primarily composed of short-term loans totaling $1,956,599 and construction security deposits totaling $1,284,145 that we will be required to repay during the next twelve months as construction is completed. The Company expects that it will need to invest an additional $1,000,000 during the remainder of calendar year 2011 to complete construction. It is expected that cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund this. If not, the Company will seek additional capital resources, such as bank loans or an equity raise, to fund those obligations. We will have no other demands on our cash other than operations. The Company has sufficient liquidity for the next twelve months.
Our operations provided us $3,513,372 in cash during the nine months ended June 30, 2011, which exceeded our net income for the period by $566,323, an amount that approximates our depreciation and amortization expense for the period. The relative equivalence of our net income and our cash flow from operations occurred primarily because we have been vigilant in controlling our accounts receivable, which declined by $106,422 in the recent nine month period. By comparison, our operations provided us $3,876,012 in cash during the nine months ended June 30, 2010, when cash from operations was approximately equal to income from operations in the nine months ended June 30, 2011, but cash from operations was increased by a $650,541 reduction in accounts receivable.
22
For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, our financing activities includes: proceeds from related party loans of $882,909, other short-term loan of $1,216,092 and $66,885 payment of loan.
The largest demand on our cash is our ongoing construction activities. Since our sales currently exceed our factory’s production capacity, it is crucial that we rapidly implement an expansion of our production lines. Toward that end we used $5,605,786 in cash to make additions to our property and equipment during the nine months ended June 30, 2011. In the first nine months of fiscal 2010, cash paid for property and equipment was $5,719,508. We will continue to devote available cash to expansion in the coming quarters, since the success of our business demands it. The optimal situation will be to match cash from operations with cash used by investing activities, as we did in the first nine months of fiscal 2011. If the cash demands of our construction activities exceed our current resources and the contributions from future operations, we anticipate that cash can be obtained via secured lending as well as the resources of related parties. Management believes the liquidity demand can be met for the next 12 months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of June 30, 2011, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in enabling us to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings within the required time period, due to the lack of expertise in U.S. GAAP accounting among the personnel in our accounting department.
Changes in Internal Controls. There was no change in internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act or 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation described in the preceding paragraph that occurred during the Company’s third fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
