NEW ENERGY SYSTEMS GROUP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2010

Note 1 – ORGANIZATION
 
New Energy Systems Group ("New Energy" or the "Company", FKA: China Digital Communication Group) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 27, 2001, operates its business through its wholly owned subsidiaries E'Jenie Technology Development Co., Ltd ("E'Jenie"), Shenzhen Anytone Technology Co., Ltd. ("Shenzhen Anytone"), Shenzhen NewPower Technology Development Co., Ltd. ("NewPower"), Shenzhen Kim Fai Solar Energy Technology Co., Ltd. ("Kim Fai"), companies incorporated under the laws of the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). Through our subsidiaries, the Company manufactures and distributes lithium battery, battery shells and related application products primarily in China. When used in these notes, the terms "Company," "we," "our," or "us" mean New Energy Systems Group and its Subsidiaries.
 
On September 30, 2004, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Billion Electronics Co., Ltd (“Billion”).  Billion owned all of the issued and outstanding shares of E’Jenie. Billion was incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) on July 27, 2004. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Billion for $1,500,000 and 4,566,210 shares of the Company’s common stock, or approximately 8.7% of then issued and outstanding shares.
 
On June 28, 2006, the Company finalized an Exchange Agreement with Galaxy View International Ltd (“Galaxy View”), and its shareholders. Galaxy View owned all of the issued and outstanding shares of Sono Digital Electronics Technologies Co., Ltd (“Sono”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of Galaxy View in a cash and stock transaction valued at $6,787,879. Under the Agreement, the Company paid the Galaxy View shareholders $3,000,000 and delivered 7,575,757 unregistered shares of the Company’s preferred stock valued at $3,787,879.
 
On April 24, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement to transfer shares of Sono to Liu Changqing and Wang Feng (collectively, the “Purchasers”). Changqing purchased 60% and Feng purchased 40% of Sono. For all outstanding shares of Sono, the Purchasers paid $3,000,000.  The Company disposed of Galaxy View and its wholly-owned subsidiary Sono, on April 24, 2007.
 
In connection with the acquisition of Galaxy View, the Company issued Series A Preferred Stock to the selling shareholders.  On June 29, 2006, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada a Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock designating 7,575,757 of the Company’s previously authorized preferred stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock entitled the holder to seven votes per share on all matters to be voted on by the shareholders of the Company and is mandatorily convertible into one tenth of one share of the Company’s common stock on June 29, 2011 (after providing for the July 13, 2009, 10-to-1 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall, with respect to rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up, ranks (i) on a parity with the Company’s common stock, and (ii) junior to any other class of the Company’s preferred stock.  Series A Preferred Stock is not entitled to any preferred dividend. However, the preferred shareholders will share the dividend on common stock proportionately if and when the dividend on Common Stock is declared. On October 20, 2010, the Company filed an Amendment to its Certification of Designations, Preferences and Rights for its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. As a result of the Amendment, the Series A is convertible at the option of the holder until June 29, 2011, when every ten (10) issued and outstanding shares of Series A shall be automatically convertible into one (1) share of common stock (on a post-split basis). Additionally, the Series A shall continue to be subject to a lock-up provision through June 29, 2011, provided, however, that the common stock issuable upon the optional conversion of the Series A shall not be subject to such lock-up limitations. In 2011, 5,022,727 shares Series A preferred stock were converted to 502,273 shares of common stock, and there were 2,553,030 shares of Series A preferred stock outstanding, however, all the outstanding Series A preferred stock was automatically converted.

On July 13, 2009, the Company effected a 10-to-1 reverse stock split. The principal effect of the Reverse Split was (i) that the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding was reduced from 54,460,626 to approximately 5,446,062 (depending on the number of fractional shares that are issued or cancelled), and (ii) that each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into one tenth of one share of the Company’s common stock. The number of authorized shares of common stock was not affected.   All per share data was retroactively restated.
 
On September 8, 2009, the Company amended the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the Company’s name to “New Energy Systems Group.”

On December 7, 2009, the Company closed the transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement dated November 19, 2009 with Anytone International (H.K.) Co., Ltd. (“Anytone International”) and Shenzhen Anytone-Technology Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen Anytone”).  Shenzhen Anytone is a subsidiary of Anytone International, collectively referred to as “Anytone”.  Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, the Company issued the shareholders of Anytone International 3,593,939 shares of the Company's common stock with a restrictive legend, and agreed to pay $10,000,000. The acquisition was completed on December 7, 2009.  Anytone is engaged in manufacturing and distribution of lithium batteries.
  
On January 12, 2010, the Company closed the transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement dated December 11, 2009 with NewPower. Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, the Company’s subsidiary E’jenie acquired NewPower. The Company issued the shareholders of NewPower, 1,823,346 shares of the Company’s common stock with a restrictive legend, and $3,000,000. NewPower is engaged in manufacturing and distribution of lithium batteries.

On November 10, 2010, the Company’s subsidiary, Shenzhen Anytone executed a share exchange agreement to acquire all the equity interest of Kim Fai, a Chinese company engaged in the technologies development and sale of solar application products, with the shareholders of Kim Fai. The price for 100% of the outstanding stock of Kim Fai was $13,000,000 to be paid in cash and 1,913,265 shares of common stock valued at $14,999,998, which was determined by multiplying the 1,913,265 shares by the stock price of New Energy at the acquisition date. The $13,000,000 was paid in RMB 88,400,000 at an exchange rate of 6.8:1 as stated in the agreement; however, based on the exchange rate of 6.645:1 at the acquisition date, RMB 88,400,000 was equivalent to $13,303,236 which was the actual cash portion of the purchase consideration that was recorded.

The interim financial information presented in this Form 10-Q is not audited and is not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).  The Company’s functional currency is the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY); however the accompanying consolidated financial statements were translated and presented in United States Dollars (“$”, or “USD”).

Exchange Gain (Loss)
 
During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the transactions of E’Jenie, Anytone, Kim Fai and Newpower were denominated in foreign currency and were recorded in CNY at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occurred. Exchange gains and losses are recognized for the different foreign exchange rates applied when the foreign currency assets and liabilities are settled.
 
Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the accounts of E’Jenie, Anytone, Kim Fai and NewPower were maintained, and its financial statements were expressed, in CNY. Such financial statements were translated into USD in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation,” (codified in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 830) with the CNY as the functional currency. According to Topic 830, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, stockholder’s equity is translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences between the initially recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction in the consolidated statements of income. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” as a component of shareholders’ equity (codified in FASB ASC Topic 220). There were no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of CNY to USD after the balance sheet date.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates include collectability of accounts receivable, accounts payable, sales returns and recoverability of long-term assets.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of New Energy Systems Group and its wholly owned subsidiaries Billion, E’Jenie, Anytone, Kim Fai and Newpower, are collectively referred to the Company.  All material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits were eliminated in consolidation.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company manufactures and distributes batteries, battery shells and covers for cellular phones in PRC. The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 605). Sales revenue is recognized when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. No revenue is recognized if there are significant uncertainties regarding the recovery of the consideration due or the possible return of goods. Payments received before satisfaction of all relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as unearned revenue.
  
Sales revenue is the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added tax (“VAT”). All of the Company’s products sold in the PRC are subject to Chinese value-added tax of 17% of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing the finished product. The Company records VAT payable and VAT receivable net of payments in the financial statements. The VAT tax return is filed offsetting the payables against the receivables. Sales and purchases are recorded net of VAT collected and paid as the Company acts as an agent for the government.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 718 and 505). The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. Non-employees stock based compensation is accounted for according to ASC 718.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 740), which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that were included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
 
The Company follows the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, (codified in FASB ASC Topic 740). When tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had not taken any significant uncertain tax positions on its tax returns for 2010 and prior years or in computing its tax provision for 2011.

Statement of Cash Flows
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 230), cash flows from the Company’s operations are based upon 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.
 
Supplemental Cash Flow Disclosures
 
Cash from operating, investing and financing activities from changes in assets and liabilities, was net of effects from the acquisitions of NewPower and Kim Fai on January 12, 2010 and November 10, 2010, respectively (See Note 15).
  
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base, most of which are in China. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.

Risks and Uncertainties
 
The Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.
 
Contingencies
 
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.  The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment.  In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
 
If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements.  If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.
 
Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

Cash and Equivalents
 
Cash and equivalents include cash in hand and cash in demand deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.  At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $9,571,000 and $13,056,000 cash in state-owned banks, respectively, of which no deposits were covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts. 
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.  The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
 
Inventory
 
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market. Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value and allowance is made to write down inventories to market value, if lower.  As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, inventory consisted of the following:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures.  The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
 
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices 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 asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
 
 
11

 
 
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC 815.
 
As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.
 
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share (EPS)
 
Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed similar to basic net income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all the potential common shares, warrants and stock options had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted EPS is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for the outstanding options and the if-converted method for the outstanding convertible preferred shares. Under the treasury stock 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. Under the if-converted method, convertible outstanding instruments are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later). The following tables present a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Goodwill
 
Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired as a result of the Company’s acquisitions of interests in its subsidiaries. Under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”) (codified in FASB ASC Topic 350), goodwill is no longer amortized, but tested for impairment upon first adoption and annually, thereafter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Impairment testing is performed at a reporting unit level. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, with the fair value of the reporting unit determined using discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF analysis to forecast operating cash flows, including the discount rate, the internal rate of return, and projections of realizations and costs to produce. Management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values of its reporting units are estimated. At September 30, 2011, the Company determined and recorded a $13,564,691 impairment to the goodwill of NewPower reporting entity due to the continues slow-down of the battery industry in China, increased competition resulting from counterfeit products and decreased selling price from other manufacturers, Newpower incurred net loss for the third quarter of 2011, and the Company expected the continues loss for the foreseeable future.
 
Intangible Assets
 
The Company applies in SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 805) to determine if an intangible asset should be recognized separately from goodwill. Intangible assets acquired through business acquisitions are recognized as assets separate from goodwill if they satisfy either the “contractual-legal” or “separability” criterion. Per SFAS 142, (codified in FASB ASC Topic 350), intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 360). Intangible assets, such as purchased technology, trademark, customer list, user base and non-compete agreements, arising from the acquisitions of subsidiaries and variable interest entities are recognized and measured at fair value upon acquisition. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives from one to ten years. The Company reviews the amortization methods and estimated useful lives of intangible assets at least annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that assets may be impaired. The recoverability of an intangible asset to be held and used is evaluated by comparing the carrying amount of the intangible to its future net undiscounted cash flows. If the intangible is considered impaired, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the intangible exceeds the fair value of the intangible, calculated using a discounted future cash flow analysis. The Company uses estimates and judgments in its impairment tests, and if different estimates or judgments had been utilized, the timing or the amount of the impairment charges could be different.
 
The Company follows SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, (codified in FASB ASC Topic 360) which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,” and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business (codified in FASB ASC Topic 225).” The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 360). SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal.

Recent accounting pronouncements
 
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), to 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 impairment may exist, and the qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010 and 2011 for public and nonpublic entities, respectively. Early adoption is not permitted. Management did not expect the material impact of adopting this standard on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220):  Presentation of Comprehensive Income.  Under the amendments in this update, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Under both options, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income and a total amount for comprehensive income. In a single continuous statement, the entity is required to present the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with the total of comprehensive income in that statement. In the two-statement approach, an entity is required to present components of net income and total net income in the statement of net income. The statement of other comprehensive income should immediately follow the statement of net income and include the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with a total for comprehensive income. In addition, the entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented.  The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently assessing the effect that the adoption of this pronouncement will have on its financial statements.

During 2006, E’Jenie purchased the two facilities it previously leased for $1,103,596.  Of that amount $551,798 was recorded as an intangible asset as land use rights.  Because the laws of the PRC do not allow ownership of land, the Company received a Certificate of Real Estate from the Ministry of Land and Resources to use the land. E’Jenie incurred losses and also its revenue reduced significantly during 2007. The Company performed an intangible assets impairment test and concluded there was impairment as to the carrying value of intangible assets of E’Jenie of $1,972,598 as of December 31, 2007.

The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the following assumptions: for the warrants with estimated life of two years, volatility of 100%, risk free interest rate of 0.85%, and dividend yield of 0%; for the warrants with estimated life of three years, volatility of 100%, risk free interest rate of 1.39%, and dividend yield of 0%. The total fair value of warrants was $868,872.

The fair value of each warrant granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model under ASC 505-30-11 and is recognized as compensation expense over the service term of the investor relations agreement as it is a better matching of cost with services received. The warrants are classified as equity instruments and are exercisable into a fixed number of common shares.

Accordingly, the Company has no net deferred tax assets.

The price for NewPower was $3,000,000 and 1,823,346 shares of common stock valued at $15,516,674, which was determined by multiplying the 1,823,346 shares by the stock price of New Energy at the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.   The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at agreement date are used for the purpose of purchase price allocation.  The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired of $13,564,691 is recorded as goodwill. Revenue and net loss (before goodwill impairment) of NewPower included in the consolidated income statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $17,875,746 and $13,053,628, respectively.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Company performed the goodwill impairment test and determined a $13,564,691 impairment to the goodwill.

On November 10, 2010, the Company’s subsidiary, Shenzhen Anytone Technology Co. Ltd, executed a share exchange agreement to acquire all the equity interest of Shenzhen Kim Fai Solar Energy Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese company engaged in the technology development and sale of solar application products and solar energy batteries, with all of the shareholders of Kim Fai.  The purchase price for 100% of the outstanding stock of Kim Fai was $13,000,000 to be paid in cash and 1,913,265 shares of common stock valued at $14,999,998, which was determined by multiplying the 1,913,265 shares by the stock price of New Energy at the acquisition date. 

The $13,000,000 was paid in RMB 88,400,000 at an exchange rate of 6.8:1 as stated in the agreement; however, based on the exchange rate of 6.645:1 at the acquisition date, RMB 88,400,000 was equivalent to $13,303,236 which was the actual cash portion of the purchase consideration that was recorded.  

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.   The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at agreement date are used for the purpose of purchase price allocation.  The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired of $26,541,178 was recorded as goodwill. The Company expects synergy from combining the operations. Revenue and net income of Kim Fai included in the consolidated income statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $16,649,096 and $2,167,293, respectively.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

We operate our business through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, E'Jenie Technology Development Co., Ltd. ("E'Jenie"), Shenzhen Anytone Technology Co., Ltd. ("Shenzhen Anytone"), Shenzhen NewPower Technology Co., Ltd. ("NewPower"), and Shenzhen Kim Fai Solar Energy Technology Co., Ltd. ("Kim Fai"), companies incorporated under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC). Through our subsidiaries, we manufacture and distribute lithium battery shells and related products primarily in China. Based on customer specifications, E'Jenie develops, customizes and produces steel, aluminum battery shells and aluminum caps. Currently, E'Jenie produces steel battery shells, aluminum battery shells, aluminum battery caps and steel battery caps.
 
We manufacture and distribute battery shells and covers for cellular phones. We maintain long-term relationships with large lithium battery manufacturers. We believe we will continue to receive orders from our customers because of our reputation and the quality of our products. Our professional marketing team maintains relationships with our current customers and at the same time searches for potential new customers. We seek to maintain and strengthen our position as a provider of battery shells and caps while increasing the breadth of our product line and improving the quality of our products.
 
The lithium battery was created in the 1990s, with the first mass production in 1993 in Japan. Lithium batteries were first used in notebook computers and now are used in cellular phones, video machines, laptops, digital cameras, MP3 players, global positioning satellite systems, 3G communication devices, hybrid cars and other electronic products. Batteries are becoming smaller, lighter, more efficient, longer lasting and free of pollution. The lithium battery energy/weight ratio exceeds its counterparts and with an excellent safety standard we believe it is the future of the battery industry. China has become one of the largest producers and consumers of lithium ion batteries. According to BBC Research, annual lithium ion battery sales were estimated at around $6.8 billion. We anticipate there will be greater demand for lithium batteries in China and worldwide in the next few years. We believe the current trend towards smaller, lighter portable consumer products will continue and because of its size, the demand for lithium batteries will keep increasing.

Under the current depressed economic environment, management of the Company made some adjustments to keep the Company running and growing. To keep the existing battery pack accessories segment, the Company expanded into a related field in August 2008- battery assembly and finished battery distribution, to diversify our line of products; consequently, the Company competes in the entire battery industry.
 
Having engaged in the battery business for years, management of the Company has accumulated abundant knowledge about the battery industry, established a strong network among battery companies which are both upstream and downstream in the battery distribution flow, and gained a lot of experience in battery distribution; therefore, we believe the Company is in a more favorable position than other companies in distributing finished batteries. Assembling and distributing finished batteries has a higher profit margin than manufacturing battery accessories, so management of the Company is confident our battery distribution business will be profitable due to the outstanding battery quality and strong distribution network the Company has.
 
On December 7, 2009, we closed the transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement dated November 19, 2009 with Anytone International and Shenzhen Anytone. Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, we issued the shareholders of Anytone International 3,593,939 shares of the Company's restricted common stock and paid $10,000,000 in cash. Anytone is engaged in the production of batteries and battery related products.

On January 12, 2010, we closed the transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement dated December 11, 2009 with NewPower.  Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, our Chinese subsidiary E’jenie acquired NewPower. We issued the shareholders of NewPower 1,823,346 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock and paid them $3,000,000 in cash. NewPower is engaged in manufacturing and distribution of lithium battery cells. 
  
On November 10, 2010, the Company’s subsidiary, Shenzhen Anytone executed a share exchange agreement to acquire all the equity interest of Kim Fai, a Chinese company engaged in the technology development and sale of solar application products and solar energy batteries, with all of the shareholders of Kim Fai. The price for the outstanding stock of Kim Fai was $13,303,236 to be paid in cash, and 1,913,265 shares of common stock valued at $14,999,998, which was determined by multiplying the 1,913,265 shares by the stock price of New Energy on November 10, 2010. As of September 30, 2011, $13,303,326 was paid and 1,913,265 shares were issued.
 
In the third quarter of 2011, we determined and recorded $13,564,691impairment to the goodwill of NewPower reporting entity. Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired as a result of the Company’s acquisitions of interests in its subsidiaries. Under “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (codified in FASB ASC Topic 350), goodwill is no longer amortized, but tested for impairment upon first adoption and annually, thereafter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Impairment testing is performed at a reporting unit level. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, with the fair value of the reporting unit determined using discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF analysis to forecast operating cash flows, including the discount rate, the internal rate of return, and projections of realizations and costs to produce. Management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values of its reporting units are estimated. Due to the continues slow-down of the battery industry, increased competition resulting from counterfeit products and decreased selling price from other manufacturers, Newpower incurred net loss for the third quarter of 2011, and the Company expected the continues loss for the foreseeable future; accordingly, the Company determined an impairment to the goodwill to Newpower.

Net Revenue

Net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $15,25 million compared to $26,36 million for the comparable period of 2010, a decrease of $11.11 million, or 42%. The decrease was primarily due to (1) the entire battery industry being depressed; (2)  we integrated the business section in each subsidiary, and as a result, reduced the production and sales of batteries and battery shells and covers due to decreased demand, (3) we lowered certain products’ selling prices to keep competitive as a result of pirated products in the market, which Management is rigorously combating. Sales of our batteries decreased by $14.31 million to $9.78 million, compared to $24.08 million in the third quarter of 2010. We have been able to integrate the industry chain, optimize the internal and external resources to improve our productivity and increase our market share. Accordingly, from the beginning of 2011, we switched the battery production of E’Jenie with the battery cell production of Newpower to improve production efficiency and cost saving.  The acquisition of Kim Fai in November 2010 brought us $4.97 million in solar panel sales during the third quarter of 2011.
 
For our major business, the sales of Anytone’s branded products for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $6.65 million compared to $10.98 million for the 2010 period, a decrease of $4.33 million, or 39%. The decrease was due to (1) the entire battery industry being depressed; and (2) the impact of piracy products in the market, including our products, which Management is vigorously combating. 

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue ("COR") for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $15.77 million, or 103% of net sales, compared to $19.15 million, or 73% of net sales, for the comparable period of 2010, a decrease of $3.38 million, or 18%.
 
COR for the battery assembly and distribution business segment was $10.71 million, or 109% of battery revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $17.50 million, or 73% for the comparable period of 2010, a decrease of $6.79 million, or 39%. The percentage increase in COR was mainly due to the decrease of sales, production volume and switching of our battery production of E’Jenie with the battery cell production of Newpower to improve production efficiency.
 
COR for our existing battery shell and cover business during the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $0.53 million, or 105% of sales compared to $1.65 million for the comparable period of 2010, or 73% of sales.  The increase in our percentage COR for battery shell and cover business resulted from an increase in the cost of materials, especially the price of the steel and aluminum and the decrease on production volume.  
 
COR for our new production line of solar products for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $4.54 million, or 91% of sales.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $16.83 million or 110% of net revenue, compared to $1.61 million, or 6% of net revenue, for the comparable period of 2010, an increase of $15.22 million, or 947%. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the impairment of goodwill of $13.56 million and operating expenses of our newly acquired subsidiary, which resulted in an increase of $0.32 million.

Selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $0.44 million, or 3% of net revenue, compared to $0.12 million, or 0.5% of net revenue, for the comparable period of 2010, an increase of $0.32 million, which was mainly due to increased marketing expense which including $0.09 million on advertisement, $0.01 million on exhibition fee and shipping costs, $0.11 million on other marketing expense and $0.09 million on salary of sales personnel as a result of our efforts to expand the market for new customers.
 
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $2.82 million, or 18% of net revenue, compared to $1.48 million, or 6% of net revenue, for the comparable period of 2010.  The increase in general and administrative expenses of $1.33 million or 90% of net revenue, was mainly due to one newly acquired subsidiary, which increased general and administrative expenses by $0.26 million. In addition, the Company increased product development cost and product design fee of $0.22 million, employees’ salary and welfare of $0.29 million, travel expense and other expenses of $0.20 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded $0.20 million and $0.23 million, respectively, as stock-based compensation to consultants. Those consultants who were granted stock as compensation work as branding strategy and financial consultants. The branding strategy consultants help the Company conduct stage analysis in the development of products and the industry; analyze customers’ motive of purchase; analyze market segmentation of similar brands; set strategic models and develop principles of the Company’s self-owned brands; assist the Company in identifying target consumers and designing brand development strategy; advise the Company on implementation of brand strategy including brand recognition, packaging, advertisement, etc. and draft brand strategy planning reports. The financial consultants provide the Company financial advice on matters including: mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”), management buy-outs (“MBO”), restructuring, asset management, investment and financing.
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Company performed the goodwill test and determined a $13,564,691 impairment to the goodwill of its Newpower subsidiary.

Net Income (loss)

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $16.85 million, compared to net income of $4.27 million for the comparable period of 2010, a decrease in net income of $21.13 million or 495% due to the reasons listed above.

In addition, Newpower was served a notice of a lawsuit in November 2011, for breaching a Sales Agreement, dated May 9, 2011 between NewPower and Shenzhen Zhongte Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. (“SZIT”), by not accepting returns of purported faulty products from SZIT. SZIT seeks monetary damages including SZIT’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the action. Accordingly, we accrued the entire plaintiff’s claim of $1.46 million (RMB 9.34 million) during the third quarter of 2011 for this lawsuit, of which, $1.15 million (RMB 7.34 million) was for return of the products and $0.31 million (RMB 2.00 million) was for the loss incurred from faulty products.

Net Revenue

Net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $65.43 million, compared to $72.22 million for the comparable period of 2010, a decrease of $6.79 million, or 9%. The decrease was primarily due to (1) the entire battery industry being depressed, (2) we integrated the business section in each subsidiary, and as a result, reduced the production and sales of batteries and battery shells and covers; and (3) we decreased certain products’ selling prices to remain competitive and keep the market share; despite the acquisition of Kim Fai in November 2010, which brought us $16.65 million in solar panel sales during the nine months of 2011. We have been able to integrate the industry chain, optimize the internal and external resource to improve our productivity and increase our market share. Therefore, from the beginning of 2011, we switched the battery production of E’Jenie with the battery cell production of Newpower to improve production efficiency and cut cost.
  
For our major business, the sales of Anytone’s branded products for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $28.83 million compared to $33.12 million for the 2010 period, a decrease of $4.29 million or 13%. The decrease was due to (1) the entire battery industry being depressed; and (2) the impact of pirated products in the market, including our products, which Management is vigorously combating.

Our existing battery shell and cover business generated net revenue of $3.28 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $7.80 million for the comparable period of 2010, a decrease of $4.52 million, or 58%.  The decrease in our sales in this segment was mainly due to rearrangement of our sales strategy and production plan on certain products and decreased demand from the market.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue ("COR") for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $50.04 million, or 76% of net sales, compared to $52.43 million, or 73% of net sales, for the comparable period of 2010, a decrease of $2.40 million, or 5%.
 
COR for the battery assembly and distribution business segment was $34.37 million, or 76% of total battery revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $47.08 million, or 73%, for the comparable period of 2010, a decrease of $12.71 million, or 27%. The percentage increase in COR was mainly due to the decrease of production volume, sales and switching of our battery production of E’Jenie with the battery cell production of Newpower to improve production efficiency and cut cost.
 
COR for our existing battery shell and cover business during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $2.57 million, or 78.4% of sales, compared to $5.35 million for the comparable period of 2010, or 69% of sales.  The increase in our percentage COR for battery shell and cover business resulted from the decreased in production volume, sales and the increase in the cost of materials, especially the price of the steel and aluminum.  
 
COR for our new production line of solar products for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $13.09, or 79% of sales.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $21.19 million, or 32% of net revenue, compared to $4.69 million, or 6% of net revenue, for the comparable period of 2010, an increase of $16.50 million, or 352%. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the impairment of goodwill of $13.56 million and the operating expenses from our newly acquired subsidiary, which resulted in an increase of $0.72 million in operating expenses.

Selling expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $1.20 million, or 2% of net revenue, compared to $0.37 million, or 1% of net revenue, for the comparable period of 2010, an increase of $0.83 million, or 224%, which was mainly due to the increased marketing expense including $0.23 million of advertisement, $0.14 million of exhibition fee and shipping cost, $0.17 million of other marketing expense and $0.21 million of salary of sales personnel as a result of our efforts to expand the market for new customers.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $6.42 million, or 10% of net revenue, compared to $4.32 million, or 6% of net revenue, for the comparable period of 2010.  The increase in general and administrative expenses of $2.11 million was mainly due to our newly acquired subsidiary, which increased general and administrative expenses by $0.53 million. In addition, the Company increased product development cost and product design fee of $0.35 million, employees’ salary and welfare of $0.57 million, travel of $0.05 million and other expenses of $0.23 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded $0.54 million and $0.57 million as stock-based compensation to consultants. Those consultants who were granted stock as compensation work as branding strategy and financial consultants. The branding strategy consultants help the Company conduct stage analysis in the development of products and the industry; analyze customers’ motive of purchase; analyze market segmentation of similar brands; set strategic models and develop principles of the Company’s self-owned brands; assist the Company in identifying target consumers and designing brand development strategy; advise the Company on implementation of brand strategy including brand recognition, packaging, advertisement, etc. and draft brand strategy planning reports. The financial consultants provide the Company financial advice on matters including: mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”), management buy-outs (“MBO”), restructuring, asset management, investment and financing.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company performed goodwill impairment test and determined a $13,564,691 impairment to goodwill of Newpower subisidiary.

Net Income (loss)

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $8.25 million compared to net income of $11.62 million for the comparable period of 2010, a decrease in net income of $19.87 million, or 171%, due to the reasons listed above.

In addition, Newpower was served notice of a lawsuit in November 2011, for breaching a Sales Agreement, dated May 9, 2011 between NewPower and Shenzhen Zhongte Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. (“SZIT”), by not accepting returns of purported faulty products from SZIT. SZIT seeks monetary damages including SZIT’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the action. Accordingly, we accrued the entire plaintiff’s claim $1.46 million (RMB 9.34 million) during the third quarter of 2011 for this lawsuit, of which, $1.15 million (RMB 7.34 million) was for return of the products and $0.31 million (RMB 2.00 million) was for the loss incurred from faulty products. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Our operations and liquidity needs are funded primarily through cash flows from operations and short-term borrowings. Cash and equivalents were $9,596,616 as of September 30, 2011. Working capital at September 30, 2011 was $19,433,039.

The following is a summary of cash provided by or used in each of the indicated types of activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:
 
 
2011
 
2010
 
Cash provided by (used in):
       
Operating Activities
  $ 2,873,708     $ 11,489,000  
Investing Activities
    (84,771 )     (9,528 )
Financing Activities
    (6,715,116 )     (6,366,281 )
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.87 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $11.49 million for the comparable period of 2010. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was mainly due to the decrease in net income and the payment on accounts payable and tax payable, despite our timely  collection on accounts receivable .  Anytone’s standard payment term is 60 days while our other subsidiaries’ payment terms to their customers are 30 days.  We have experienced timely payment from our customers.

Net cash used in investing activities was $84,771 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and $9,528 in the comparable period of 2010.  The cash used in the nine months of 2011 was for the purchase of fixed assets. While in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, $34,702 was used in the purchase of fixed assets but partially offset by the cash acquired during subsidiary acquisition and fixed assets disposal.

Net cash used in financing activities was $6.72 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $6.37 million for the comparable period of 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the cash outflow was due to repayment of acquisition liability for Kim Fai of $6.80 million partially offset by cash inflow of $87,500 from warrants exercised. During the comparable period of 2010, we paid $5 million of the remaining balance of cash for the acquisition of Anytone, and $1.37 million to related parties. 
 
Related Party Loans

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had a $566,492 unsecured, due on demand, and non-interest bearing loans payable to Dongrong Xu and Zaoxian Fang, the original owners of Shenzhen Anytone, of $481,518 and $84,974, respectively, in connection with the acquisition of Shenzhen Anytone by Anytone International.
 
Working Capital Requirements
 
Historically, cash from operations, short term financing and the sale of our Company stock have been sufficient to meet our cash needs. We believe we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our working capital needs. However, our actual working capital needs for the long and short term will depend upon numerous factors, including operating results, competition, and the availability of credit facilities, none of which can be predicted with certainty. Future expansion will be limited by economic environment for the industry and opportunities and availability of financing and raising capital by selling stock.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
We have never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have never established any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.
 
Critical Accounting Policies

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, we believe the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.

Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principle in the United States (“US GAAP”).  The Company’s functional currency is the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY); however the accompanying consolidated financial statements were translated and presented in United States Dollars (“$” or “USD”).

Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of New Energy Systems Group and its wholly owned subsidiaries Billion, E’Jenie, Anytone, NewPower and Kim Fai, are collectively referred to the Company.  All material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits were eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include collectability of accounts receivable, accounts payable, sales returns and recoverability of long-term assets.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company manufactures and distributes batteries, battery shells and covers for portable consumer electronic devices in the PRC. The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 605). Sales revenue is recognized when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, delivery is complete, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. No revenue is recognized if there are significant uncertainties regarding the recovery of the consideration due or the possible return of goods. Payments received before satisfaction of all relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as unearned revenue.
  
Sales revenue is the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added tax (“VAT”). All of the Company’s products sold in the PRC are subject to Chinese value-added tax of 17% of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing the finished product. The Company records VAT payable and VAT receivable net of payments in the financial statements. The VAT tax return is filed offsetting the payables against the receivables. Sales and purchases are recorded net of VAT collected and paid as the Company acts as an agent for the government.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In June 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220):  Presentation of Comprehensive Income.  Under the amendments in this update, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Under both options, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income and a total amount for comprehensive income. In a single continuous statement, the entity is required to present the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with the total of comprehensive income in that statement. In the two-statement approach, an entity is required to present components of net income and total net income in the statement of net income. The statement of other comprehensive income should immediately follow the statement of net income and include the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with a total for comprehensive income. In addition, the entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented.  The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently assessing the effect that the adoption of this pronouncement will have on its financial statements.

 Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) (the Company's principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2011. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO noted a material weakness and concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.  

The Company’s material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting is related to a limited U.S. GAAP technical accounting expertise.  The Company’s internal accounting department has been primarily engaged in ensuring compliance with PRC accounting and reporting requirements for our operating affiliates. As a result, 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 the Company’s 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 U.S. GAAP matters. As a result of such evaluation, the Company's CEO concluded that, as of the date of evaluation, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, or that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls
 
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, performed an evaluation as to whether any change in our internal controls over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that no change occurred in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
