CHINA
VALVES TECHNOLOGY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June
30, 2008
(unaudited)
Note 1 –
Organization
China
Valves Technology, Inc, formerly known as Intercontinental Resources, Inc., (the
“Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada in August 1997, under the
name Meximed Industries, Inc. In January 1999, the Company changed its name to
Digital Video Display Technology Corporation and in July 2001 to Iconet, Inc. In
the middle of 2003 the Company again changed its name to Anglotajik Minerals,
Inc. The Company was considered to be in the exploration stage as its operations
principally involved research and exploration, market analysis, and other
business planning activities, and no revenue was generated from its business
activities. The Company suspended its proposed activities in mineral exploration
in the Republic of Tajikistan, and changed its name to Intercontinental
Resources, Inc in May of 2006. From that time until December 2007,
the Company had no significant operations.
On
December 16, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and Share
Exchange (the “Exchange Agreement”) with China Valve Holding Limited (“China
Valve Samoa”), a company incorporated under the laws of Samoa, and the equity
owner of China Valve Hong Kong. The closing of the transaction took
place on December 16, 2007 (the “Closing Date”) and resulted in the merger
between the Company and China Valve Samoa (the “Merger”). Pursuant to
the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
capital stock and ownership interests of China Valve Samoa (the “Interests”)
from the China Valve Samoa shareholder for 40,000,000 shares, or 99.8% of the
Company’s common stock. In addition, China Valve Samoa agreed to pay
cash of $490,000 (the “Purchase Price”). Because the acquisition is treated as a
reverse acquisition, the financial statements of the Company have been
retroactively adjusted to reflect the acquisition from the beginning of the
reported period. The merger transaction has been accounted for as a reverse
acquisition and recapitalization of the Company whereby China Valve Samoa is
deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and the Company to be the
accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). The historical financial statements for
periods prior to December 16, 2007 are those of China Valve Samoa except that
the equity section and earnings per share have been retroactively restated to
reflect the reverse acquisition.
Pursuant
to the Exchange Agreement, on December 18, 2007 the Company filed with the
Secretary of State for the state of Nevada a Certificate of Amendment to our
Certificate of Incorporation changing its name to “China Valves Technology, Inc”
to better reflect its business. The Company through its subsidiaries
in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) focuses primarily on the development,
manufacture and sale of high-quality metal valves for electricity, petroleum,
chemical, and water, gas and metal industries.
China
Valve Samoa was incorporated on June 6, 2007 in Samoa. China Valve Samoa’s
principle activity is investment in its subsidiaries.
Prior to
entry into the Exchange Agreement, China Valve Samoa undertook a group
reorganization plan to comply with the regulations of the China State
Administration of Foreign Exchange. China Valve Samoa became the holding company
of the group in September 2007 by acquiring a 100% interest in China Valve
Holdings Limited (incorporated in Hong Kong) ("CVHL") on September 28, 2007.
CVHL established Henan Tonghai Valve Science Technology Co., Ltd. ("TVST"), a
wholly-own subsidiary in the People's Republic of China, on September 5, 2007.
TVST acquired 100% of the equity of Henan Kaifeng High Pressure Valve Co., Ltd.
(“High Pressure
Valve”) and Zhengzhou City Zhengdie Valve Co., Ltd. (“Zhengdie Valve,”)
(together, the “Operating
Subsidiaries”) from Mr. Siping Fang, the Chief Executive Officer and
President of the Company and the other individual owners of those companies. The
acquisition of the Operating Subsidiaries by Henan Tonghai Valve from Mr. Siping
Fang was considered to be a transaction between entities under common
control.
CHINA
VALVES TECHNOLOGY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June
30, 2008
(unaudited)
Pursuant
to a restructuring plan intended to ensure compliance with regulatory
requirements of the PRC, on April 1 and 3, 2008, the Company transferred 100% of
the equity of the Operating Subsidiaries back to Sipang Fang and the other
original owners, with the intention that Sipang Fang would transfer the
Operating Subsidiaries to a new entity controlled by Mr. Bin Li, and that Mr. Li
would then sell such entity to the Company, thereby allowing the Company to
reacquire legal ownership of the Operating Subsidiaries.
On April
10, 2008, Mr. Fang, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, sold
24,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by him and
which he had received in the merger transaction described above, to Mr Li for
$10,000. In connection with his acquisition of the Shares, Mr. Li
issued to Mr. Fang a $10,000 note. The note, which does not bear
interest, is due sixty days after a written demand for payment is made by Mr.
Fang to Mr. Li, provided that such demand is made on or after October 15, 2008.
The sale represents a change of control of the Company and the Shares acquired
by Mr. Li represent approximately 60.75% of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of the Company calculated on a fully-diluted basis. Prior to the
acquisition, Mr. Li was not affiliated with the Company. However
following the acquisition, Mr. Li will be deemed an affiliate of the Company as
a result of his stock ownership interest in the Company. In connection
therewith, Mr. Fang and Mr. Li entered into an Earn-In Agreement (the
“Earn-In Agreement”) pursuant to which Mr. Fang obtained the right and option to
re-acquire the shares of the Company from Mr. Li, subject to the satisfaction of
four conditions as set forth in the Earn-In Agreement. These conditions would be
able to be satisfied only if the Company is able to reacquire and operate the
Operating Subsidiaries. Mr Li established China Fluid Equipment on April
18, 2008, to serve as the 100% owner of a new PRC subsidiary, Henan Tonghai
Fluid Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Henan Tonghai”). On June 30, 2008, Henan Tonghai
acquired the Operating Subsidiaries from Mr. Fang and the other original
owners. The acquisitions were consummated under the laws of the PRC.
The former Hong Kong holding company, CVHL and its subsidiary TVST, which
no longer held any assets, were dissolved. On July 31, 2008, the Company and Mr.
Li completed the reorganization plan when Mr. Li transferred all of the capital
stock of China Fluid Equipment to the Company pursuant to an Instrument of
Transfer for a nominal consideration of HKD$10,000 (approximately $1,281). As a
result of these transactions, the Operating Subsidiaries are again the Company’s
indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries.
During
this re-organization, the Operating Subsidiaries continued to be under the
operating and management control of the Company. Because of this operating
and management control and because the Company continued to bear the residual
risks and rewards related to the Operating Subsidiaries, the Company continued
to consolidate the Operating Subsidiaries during the
re-organization. The acquisition by the Company on July 31, 2008 of
the new holding company for the Operating Subsidiaries, which represented the
return to legal ownership of the Operating Subsidiaries by the Company,
represented a transaction between related parties under common control and did
not establish a new basis in the assets and liabilities of the Operating
Subsidiaries. The Earn-In Agreement will enable Mr. Fang to regain ownership of
the Company’s shares originally transferred by him to Mr. Li as part of the
re-organization arrangements and, accordingly, the Company does not consider his
re-acquisition of those shares to represent compensation cost to the
Company.

has included all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to give a
fair presentation of operating results for the periods presented. Interim
results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The
information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with
information included in the 2007 annual report filed on Form 10-K.
USE
OF ESTIMATES
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP
requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
REVENUE
RECOGNITION
The
Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting
Bulletin 104. Sales revenue is recognized when all of the following have
occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has
occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or
determinable, and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured. These
criteria are generally satisfied at the time of shipment when risk of loss and
title passes to the customer.
The
Company recognizes revenue when the goods are delivered and title has passed.
Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax
(VAT). All of the Company’s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a
Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 17% of the gross sales price or at a rate
approved by the Chinese local government. This VAT may be offset by the VAT paid
by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of
producing their finished product.

SHIPPING

Shipping
and handling costs related to costs of goods sold are included in selling,
general and administrative costs which totaled $50,411 and $75,135 for the three
months ended June 30, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Shipping and handling costs
amounted to $78,855 and $132,567 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, and
2007, respectively.
ADVERTISING
Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $1,780 and $4,528 for the three
months ended June 30, 2008, and 2007, respectively and $15,535 and $16,361 for
the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
FOREIGN
CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The
reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The functional currency of
the Company and its Operating Subsidiaries Henan Kai Feng Pressure Valve Co.,
Ltd. and Zhengzhou City Zhengdie Valve Co., Ltd is the Chinese Renminbi
(RMB).
For those
entities whose functional currency is other than the US dollar, all assets and
liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance
sheet date; stockholder's equity is translated at historical rates and items in
the statements of income and of cash flows are translated at the average rate
for the period. Because cash flows are translated based on the average
translation rate, 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. Translation adjustments resulting
from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the
statement of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from
exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than
the functional currency are included in the results of operations as
incurred.
Accumulated
other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity
amounted to $5,500,823 and $3,173,745 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively. The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at June 30,
2008 and December 31, 2007 were translated at 6.85 RMB and 7.29 RMB to $1.00
USD, respectively. The average translation rates applied to the statements of
income and of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were
7.05 RMB and 7.73 RMB to $1.00, respectively, and for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, the average translation rates were 6.97 RMB and 7.69 RMB
to $1.00, respectively. 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.
PLANT AND
EQUIPMENT
Plant and
equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset,
ranging from five to ten years.
Construction
in progress represents direct costs of construction as well as acquisition
and design fees incurred. 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 construction is
completed and the asset is ready for its intended use.
INTANGIBLE
ASSETS
CHINA
VALVES TECHNOLOGY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June
30, 2008
(unaudited)
Intangible
assets consist of goodwill, patents and software. The Company records
goodwill when the purchase price of net assets acquired exceeds their fair
value. In accordance with SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets,” goodwill has an infinite life and therefore costs are not
amortized but reviewed for impairment. Patents and software are
subject to amortization. Patents, which have a legal life of 10 years in the
PRC, are being amortized over 5 years as management has determined that five
years is the estimated useful life of the patents currently owned by the
Company. Software is amortized over 10 years, its estimated useful
life.
LONG-LIVED
ASSETS
The
Company periodically reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived assets for
impairment. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are
less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of
such asset is considered not recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair
value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flow.
As of
June 30, 2008, the Company determined no impairment charges were
necessary.
INVENTORY
The
Company values its inventory at the lower of cost or market, determined on a
weighted average method, or net realizable value. The Company reviews its
inventories periodically to determine if any reserves are necessary for
potential obsolescence. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 the
Company determined no reserves were necessary.
RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of material and
equipment that are acquired or constructed for research and development
activities and which have alternative future uses, either in research and
development, marketing, or sales, are classified as property and equipment and
depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
RETIREMENT
BENEFIT COSTS
Amounts
payable for the PRC state managed retirement benefit programs are expensed in
the financial statements following the accrual basis of accounting.
INCOME
TAXES
The
Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting
for Income Taxes” (SFAS 109), which requires recognition of deferred income tax
liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets
and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consist of taxes currently due plus
deferred taxes. Because the Company has no operations within the United States,
there is no provision for US income taxes and there are no deferred tax amounts
as of June 30,, 2008.
The
charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items
that are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that
have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred
taxes are accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of
temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of
assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax
basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle,
deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences,
and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that
taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences
can be utilized.

Deferred
taxes are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period
when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred
taxes are charged or credited in the income statement, except when they relate
to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred
taxes are also recordrd in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority
and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a
net basis.
The
Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes” (“FIN 48”), as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a
benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be
sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur.
The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than
50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the
“more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption of FIN 48
had no affect on the Company’s financial statements.
.CASH AND
CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and
cash equivalents comprise cash in banks and on hand, demand deposits with
banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid
investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which
are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within
three months of maturity at acquisition.
RESTRICTED
CASH
The
Company is required to have restricted cash in the bank as security for its
exported products. The restriction is released after the customers have
received and inspected the products. Restricted cash amounted to
$142,071 and $40,856 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively.
CONCENTRATIONS
AND RISKS
The
Company's operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the
political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state
of the PRC's economy. The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to
specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with
companies in North America and Western Europe. The Company's results may be
adversely affected 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.
Cash
includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with state
owned banks within the People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong. Total cash
(including restricted cash balances) in these banks on June 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007 amounted to $4,634,143 and $2,814,118, respectively, of
which no deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any
losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks
on its cash in bank accounts.
Five
major suppliers represented approximately 44% and 51% of the Company’s total
purchases for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For
the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, five major
suppliers represented approximately 37% and 47%, respectively of the
Company’s total purchases.

FAIR
VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The
Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” on January 1, 2008. SFAS
No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for
disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for
fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for
receivables and payables qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable
estimate of fair value 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 are defined as
follows:
Level
1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices
(unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level
2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for
similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable
for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially
the full term of the financial instruments.
Level
3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and
significant to the fair value.
The
Company invested in China Perfect Machinery Industry Co., Ltd. in 1996 and
Kaifang Commercial Bank in 1997. Long term investments amounted to
$760,346 and $714,485 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively. There is no quoted or observable market price for the
joint venture interest or other similar joint ventures; therefore, the Company
used level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology. The determination of the fair
value was based on the capital investment that the Company
contributed.
The
Company did not identify any other assets or liabilities that are required to be
presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with
SFAS No.157.
ACCOUNTS
RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
The
Company’s business operations are conducted in the PRC by selling on various
credit terms. Management reviews its accounts receivable on a quarterly basis to
determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for
doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer
probable. The Company’s existing reserve is consistent with its historical
experience and considered adequate by management.
EARNINGS
PER SHARE
The
Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.
128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of basic and
diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology
used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by
the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution (using the treasury
stock method) that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common
stock were exercised and converted into common stock.
All per
share data including earnings per share has been retroactively restated to
reflect the merger on December 16, 2007 as if it had occurred at the beginning
of 2006. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, basic and diluted
earnings per share amounted to $0.04 and $0.08, respectively. For the six months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, basic and diluted earnings per share amount to
$0.09 and $0.09, respectively

The
Company invested in China Perfect Machinery Industry Co., Ltd. in 1996 and
Kaifeng Commercial Bank in 1997. The Company does not have the ability to
exercise control over of the investee companies and the investments have been
recorded under the cost method. Long term investment amounted to $760,346 and
$714,485 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Management
believes there is no impairment as of June 30, 2008.

the related sale is recognized in accordance with the Company’s revenue
recognition policy. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, customer deposits
amounted to $1,643,763 and $2,810,352, respectively.
RECENTLY
ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No.
115 (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently
required to be measured at fair value. The objective of FAS 159 is to provide
opportunities to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring
related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply hedge
accounting provisions. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure
requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose
different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. The Company chose not to
elect the option to measure the fair value of eligible financial assets and
liabilities.
In June
2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, “Accounting for
Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future
Research and Development Activities” (“FSP EITF 07-3”), which addresses whether
nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for
research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment
is made or when the research and development activity has been
performed. The Company adopted FSP EITF 07-3 and expensed the
research and development as incurred.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin
No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for
ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the
amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the
noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the
valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that
provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the
interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS
160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company
has not determined the effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on its
consolidated financial statements.

In
December 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business
Combinations, was issued. SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, Business
Combinations. SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that
the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method)
be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for
each business combination. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the
acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date,
with limited exceptions. This replaces SFAS 141’s cost-allocation process, which
required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS 141R
also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages
(sometimes referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable
assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree,
at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in
accordance with SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business
combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the
first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity
may not apply it before that date. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact that adopting SFAS No. 141R will have on its financial
statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133”, (“SFAS 161”) which
requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative
instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such
instruments under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and a tabular
disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items on our
financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective
for us beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact that adopting SFAS 161 will have on its financial
statements.
In April
2008, the FASB issued 142-3 “Determination of the useful life of Intangible
Assets”, which amends the factors a company should consider when developing
renewal assumptions used to determine the useful life of an intangible asset
under SFAS142. This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those
fiscal years. SFAS 142 requires companies to consider whether renewal can be
completed without substantial cost or material modification of the existing
terms and conditions associated with the asset. FSP 142-3 replaces the previous
useful life criteria with a new requirement—that an entity consider its own
historical experience in renewing similar arrangements. If historical experience
does not exist, then the Company would consider market participant assumptions
regarding renewal including 1) highest and best use of the asset by a market
participant, and 2) adjustments for other entity-specific factors included in
SFAS 142. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS
No.142-3 will have on its financial statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles.” This Statement identifies the sources of accounting
principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in
the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). The Company is currently evaluating the
impact that adopting SFAS No. 141R will have on its financial
statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee
Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” The scope of
this Statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance)
contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within
the scope of Statement 60. Accordingly, this Statement does not apply to
financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of
Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial
guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage
guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables).

In June
2008, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 07-5 “Determining whether
an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF
No. 07-5”). This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. Early application is not permitted. Paragraph 11(a) of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No 133 “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging
Activities” (“SFAS 133”) specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the
definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own
stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of
financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument.
EITF No.07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether
a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own
stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting EITF No. 07-5 will
have on its financial statements.
In June
2008, FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-4, “Transition Guidance for Conforming

is to provide transition guidance for conforming changes made to EITF No. 98-5,
“Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or
Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, that result from EITF No. 00-27
“Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, and SFAS No.

Note 9 -
Income taxes
The
Company’s subsidiaries are governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s
Republic of China (PRC) concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign
Enterprises and various local income tax laws (the Income Tax
Laws).
Beginning
January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law has replaced the
existing laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DEs”) and Foreign Invested Enterprises
(“FIEs”). The new standard EIT rate of 25% has replaced the 33% rate currently
applicable to both DEs and FIEs.
Prior to
2008, under the Chinese Income Tax Laws, foreign investment enterprises (“FIEs”)
generally were subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 33% (30% state
income taxes plus 3% local income taxes) on income as reported in their
statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments unless the
enterprise is located in specially designated regions for which more favorable
effective tax rates apply.

Beginning
January 1, 2008, China has unified the corporate income tax rule on foreign
invested enterprises and domestic enterprises. The unified corporate income tax
rate is 25%.
The
Company’s subsidiary Henan Kai Feng Pressure Valve Co., Ltd was exempt from
income tax in 2007 due to Kaifeng city tax incentive for companies to privatize.
However, starting 2008 Henan Kai Feng Pressure Valve Co. is subject to an income
tax at an effective rate of 25%.
The
Company’s other operating subsidiary Zhengzhou City Zhengdie Valve Co., Ltd is

Note 10 –
Statutory Reserves
The laws
and regulations of the People’s Republic of China require that before foreign
invested enterprise can legally distribute profits, it must first satisfy all
tax liabilities, provide for losses in previous years, and make allocations, in
proportions determined at the discretion of the board of directors, to the
statutory reserve. The statutory reserves include the surplus reserve fund and
the common welfare fund.
STATUTORY
SURPLUS RESERVE FUND
The
Company is required to transfer 10% of its net income, as determined in
accordance with the PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus
reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the Company’s registered
capital.
The
transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of any dividends to
shareholders. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company
transferred $167,164 and $300,945, respectively to this reserve. For the six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company transferred $355,571 and
$358,566 to this reserve which represents 10% of the current year’s net income
determined in accordance with PRC accounting rules and regulations. The surplus
reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used
to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business
expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing
shareholders in proportion to their shareholding or by increasing the par value
of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve
balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered
capital.

Note
14 – Legal proceedings
Before
the reverse acquisition on December 18, 2007, Intercontinental Resources Inc.
(“Intercontinental Resources”) was sued by Merrill Lynch Canada, Inc., in
British Columbia, Canada, in July 2000. Other than initial pleadings, the
plaintiff has not proceeded with the suit since it was filed. Intercontinental
Resources believes that the suit is without merit. In connection with
the reverse acquisition, Intercontinental Resources agreed to place $200,000
into escrow pending resolution of this suit. If required, the portion
of the purchase price for the reverse acquisition held in escrow will be used to
settle this lawsuit.

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. The words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “continue,”

Our
Company History and Recent Developments
We were
originally incorporated on August 1, 1997 in the State of Nevada under the name
Intercontinental Resources, Inc. Our name has been changed several
times over the years and our current name is China Valves Technology,
Inc. We had no active operations during the period from 2001 until
December 18, 2007, at which time we completed a reverse acquisition transaction
with China Valves in which we acquired all of the issued and outstanding
securities of China Valves from its stockholders in exchange for 40,000,000
shares of our common stock.
On
December 16, 2007, Intercontinental entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and
Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), with China Valve
Holding Limited, or China Valve Samoa, a company incorporated under the laws of
Samoa on June 6, 2007, and the owner of China Valve Samoa. The
closing of the transaction took place on December 16, 2007, and resulted in the
merger between Intercontinental and China Valve Samoa. Pursuant to
the terms of the Exchange Agreement, Intercontinental acquired all of the
outstanding capital stock and ownership interests of China Valve Samoa from the
sole shareholder of China Valve Samoa for an aggregate of 40,000,000 shares, or
99.8% of Intercontinental’s common stock. In addition, China Valve
Samoa agreed to pay cash of $490,000. The Company disclosed the transactions in
a Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the
Commission on March 31, 2008 (the “Form
10-K”). In the Form 10-K, the acquisition was treated as a
reverse acquisition, our financial statements have been retroactively adjusted
to reflect the acquisition from the beginning of the reported period. The stock
exchange transaction was accounted as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization
of the Company whereby China Valve Samoa was deemed to be the accounting
acquirer (legal acquiree) and the Company to be the accounting acquiree (legal
acquirer). The historical financial statements for periods prior to December 16,
2007 are those of China Valve Samoa except that the equity section and earnings
per share have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse
acquisition.
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, on
December 18, 2007, Intercontinental filed with the Secretary of State for the
state of Nevada a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation
changing our name to “China Valves Technology, Inc.” to better reflect our
business plan.
Prior to entry into the Exchange
Agreement, China Valve Samoa undertook a group reorganization plan (the “Reorganization Plan”) to comply with
the regulations of the China State Administration of Foreign Exchange. On
September 28, 2007, China Valve Samoa became the holding company of the group by
acquiring a 100% interest in China Valve Holdings Limited (“China Valve Hong
Kong”) which was incorporated under the laws of the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region on June 11, 2007. China Valve Hong Kong established Henan
Tonghai Valve Science Technology, Inc. (“Henan Tonghai Valve”), a wholly-owned
subsidiary in the People’s Republic of China, on September 5,
2007. Neither China Valve Samoa nor China Valve Hong Kong had any
active business operations other than their ownership of Henan Tonghai
Valve.
Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan,
Henan Tonghai Valve entered into an agreement to purchase 100% of the equity of
the Operating Subsidiaries from Mr. Siping Fang, our Chief Executive Officer and
President and the other individual owners of those companies. The
purchase price for these acquisitions was not paid because we did not have the
funds to do so. Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan intended to ensure
compliance with regulatory requirements of the PRC, on April 1 and 3, 2008, we
transferred 100% of the equity of the Operating Subsidiaries back to Siping Fang
and the other original owners with the intention that Siping Fang would transfer
the Operating Subsidiaries to a new entity controlled by Mr. Bin Li, and that
Mr. Li would then sell such entity to us, thereby allowing us to reacquire legal
ownership of the Operating Subsidiaries. We disclosed the transactions in a Form
10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 filed with the Commission on May 15,
2008 (the “Form
10-Q”). In the Form 10-Q, the acquisitions of the Operating
Subsidiaries were treated for accounting purposes as acquisitions under common
control. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a
consolidated basis for the years presented in the Form 10-Q.
On April 10, 2008, because we no longer
owned the Operating Subsidiaries, Siping Fang sold all of the Company’s common
stock beneficially owned by him to Bin Li, for an aggregate purchase price of
$10,000, pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement. In connection with the
Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Siping Fang and Bin Li entered into an Earn-In
Agreement (the “Earn-In Agreement”)
pursuant to which Siping Fang obtained the right and option to re-acquire the
shares of the Company from Bin Li, subject to the satisfaction of four
conditions as set forth in the Earn-In Agreement. These conditions may be
satisfied only if we are able to reacquire and operate the Operating
Subsidiaries. The sale of Siping Fang’s common stock and the Earn-In Agreement
were disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on
April 16, 2008.
Reacquisition
of the Operating Subsidiaries
Bin Li established China Fluid
Equipment Holdings Limited (“China Fluid Equipment”), on April 18, 2008 to serve
as the 100% owner of a new PRC subsidiary, Henan Tonghai Fluid Equipment Co.,
Ltd. (“Henan
Tonghai”). Henan Tonghai purchased the Operating Subsidiaries
pursuant to the following agreements:
·
|
On
June 30, 2008, Mr. Siping Fang sold 67% ownership interest in Kaifeng High
Pressure to Henan Tonghai for an aggregate purchase price of $5.85 million
pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 17, 2008, between Mr.
Fang and Henan Tonghai.
|
·
|
On
June 30, 2008, Ms. Xiuying Wei sold 33% ownership interest in Kaifeng High
Pressure to Henan Tonghai for an aggregate purchase price of $2.88 million
pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 17, 2008, between Ms.
Wei and Henan Tonghai.
|
·
|
On
June 30, 2008, Mr. Fang sold 84% ownership interest in Zhengdie to Henan
Tonghai for an aggregate purchase price of $6.11 million pursuant to a
Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 24, 2008, between Mr. Fang and Henan
Tonghai.
|
·
|
On
June 30, 2008, Mr. Binjie Fang, our Chief Operating Officer, sold 16%
ownership interest in Zhengdie to Henan Tonghai for an aggregate purchase
price of $1.17 million pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated June
24, 2008, between Mr. Binjie Fang and Henan
Tonghai.
|
The acquisitions have been consummated;
however, neither Bin Li nor Henan Tonghai paid the purchase prices for these
acquisitions.
On July 31, 2008, we
completed the Reorganization Plan when Bin Li transferred 10,000
shares of the common stock, or 100% of the equity interests, of China Fluid
Equipment to us pursuant to the terms of an instrument of transfer approved by
the Hong Kong government on July 31, 2008 (the “Instrument of
Transfer”) for a consideration of HKD$10,000. As a result of these
transactions, the Operating Subsidiaries are again our indirect wholly-owned
subsidiaries.
During this reorganization, the
Operating Subsidiaries continued to be under our operating and management
control. Because of this operating and management control and because we
continued to bear the residual risks and rewards related to the Operating
Subsidiaries, we continued to consolidate the Operating Subsidiaries during the
reorganization. Our acquisition on July 31, 2008 of China Fluid
Equipment for the Operating Subsidiaries, which represented the return to legal
ownership of the Operating Subsidiaries by the Company, represented a
transaction between related parties under common control and did not establish a
new basis in the assets and liabilities of the Operating Subsidiaries. The
Earn-In Agreement will enable Mr. Fang to regain ownership of the Company’s
shares originally transferred by him to Mr. Li as part of the reorganization
arrangements and, accordingly, we do not consider his re-acquisition of those
shares to represent compensation cost to us.
Overview
of Our Business
Through
the PRC Companies and certain commercial and contractual relationships and
arrangements with other Chinese companies, we operate companies in China that
develop, manufacture and distribute valves for a variety of different
industries, including electrical petroleum, chemical, water, gas and metal
industries. We are a leader in valve sales for the thermal power and
water supply industries, according to the Chairman of China Valve Industry
Association, an industry trade association. We produce over 700
models of valves and service numerous industries, including the thermal power,
water supply, sewage disposal, oil and chemical, metallurgy, heat power, and
nuclear power industries.
Industry
Wide Trends that are Relevant to Our Business
China is
currently experiencing growth in urbanization and heavy
industrialization. The Company believes that increased demand for
energy and water treatment in urban centers will increase demand for valve
products. According to the China Valve Industry Association’s research, sales of
valve products in the Chinese domestic market in 2006 reached $5.36
billion, an increase of 32% from the previous year, and the Chinese market is
expected to increase at an annual rate of more than 30% for the next 5
years.
According
to the China Valve Industry Association’s research, the valve market is divided
into five primary segments: (i) power; (ii) petrochemical; (iii) oil; (iv) water
supply; and (v) metallurgy, which account for approximately 21%, 12%, 24.5%, 14% and 8% of market share,
respectively. All other valve products account for the remaining
18.5%.
Competition
We
compete with approximately 4,000 valve manufacturers in China and listed below
are our major competitors:
o
|
Hong
Cheng Machinery Co., Ltd – a manufacturer of medium pressure big diameter
butterfly valves for the water supply
industry;
|
o
|
Sufa
Technology Industry, Co., Ltd – a manufacturer of nuclear power industry
used valves; and
|
o
|
Guangdong
Mingzhu Group Co., Ltd – a manufacturer of small diameter ball
valves.
|
There are, however,
certain factors that we believe set us apart from all of our
competitors. We are a top producer of many types of valves and have
positioned ourselves as the leading valve producer in China enabling us to offer
a more comprehensive product line to our customers. In addition, the
following factors will help China Valve continue to set itself apart from its
competitors:
o
|
We
are the first manufacturer of main stream gate valves for 300MW and main
water supply gate valves for 600MW power stations in
China;
|
o
|
We
are the sole designer and manufacturer in China of valves that are used
for ultra supercritical units of 1,000MW power
stations;
|
o
|
We
are the first manufacturer of high pressure large diameter oil pipeline
valves in China;
|
o
|
We
were the first domestic manufacturer of 2,500 pound high pressure gate
valves for hydrogenation in chemical lines, which substitutes for imported
products;
|
o
|
We
were the first domestic manufacturer of high pressure large diameter gate
valves for the coal chemical industry;
and
|
o
|
We
are the sole manufacturer in China that produces all of the following:
blowtorch valves, water pressure testing valves, steam controlling valves
for high parameter power stations and bypass valves for high pressure
heaters.

Sales
Revenue
Our sales
revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008 amounted to $11.8 million,
which is approximately $0.7 million or 6% less than that of the same period
ended on June 30, 2007, where we had revenue of $12.5 million. The
decrease in sales revenue was primarily attributed to unshipped orders to major
customers in Sichuan Province, China which were adversely affected by the
devastating earthquake in May 2008.
Cost of Goods
Sold
Cost of
goods sold, which consist of raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing
overhead expenses, was $6.9 million for the three month period ended June 30,
2008, a decrease of $0.3 million or 4%, as compared to $7.2 million for the
three month period ended June 30, 2007. Cost of sales as a percentage of total
revenues were 59% and 58% for the three month periods ended on June 30, 2008 and
2007, respectively, an increase of approximately 1%. This was
primarily a result of increased cost from raw materials.
Selling
expenses
Selling
expenses, which consist primarily of sales commission, advertising and promotion
expenses, freight charges and related compensation, were $0.856 million for the
three month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $0.851 million for the
same period ended June 30, 2007, a slight increase of $0.004 million or
approximately 1%.
Operating and administrative
expenses
Our
general and administrative expenses, which consist primarily of rental expenses,
related salaries, business development, depreciation and traveling expenses,
legal and professional expenses, were $1.7 million for the three month period
ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $0.8 million for the same period ended June
30, 2007, an increase of $0.9 million or approximately 109%. The
increase was primarily attributable to the company’s execution of early
retirement as well as increasing professional and investor relations
expenses.
Environmental Laws
Compliance Costs
We
incurred no costs for environmental compliance for the three month period ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Income From
Operations
Income
from operations was $2.3 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2008,
as compared to $3.6 million for the same period ended June 30, 2007, a
decrease of $1.3 million or approximately 37%. The decrease was
primarily attributable to decrease in sales in the current quarter and
significant increase in general and administrative costs resulting from the
Company’s execution of early retirement plan and increasing professional fees
after the reverse acquisition.
Other income
(expenses)
Total
other income was $0.195 million for the three month period ended June 30,
2008, as compared to $0.275 million for the same period ended June 30,
2007. The financial expenses for the three month period ended on June
30, 2008 and 2007 are $0.158 million and $0.21 million,
respectively.
Income
taxes
We
incurred income taxes of $0.62 million for the three month period ended on June
30, 2008. This is an increase of $0.103 million or 20% from the taxes
we incurred in the same 2007 period, which were $0.517 million. We
incurred more taxes in the three months ended June 30, 2008 mostly because of
the higher assessable income in the three month period ended on June 30, 2008
compared to 2007. In addition, our subsidiary, High Pressure Valve no longer
enjoys tax exemption as it did in 2007. It is currently subject to regular tax
rate of 25%.
Provision
for Income Taxes
United
States
We
subject to United States tax at a tax rate of 34%. No provision for the US
federal income taxes has been made as the Company had no taxable income in the
United States for the reporting period.
PRC
Before
the implementation of the corporate income tax (“CIT”) law (as discussed below),
Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIE”) established in the PRC are generally
subject to a CIT rate of 33.0%, which includes a 30.0% state income tax and a
3.0% local income tax. Our Chinese subsidiaries are taxed at a rate of 25% and
33% of assessable profit.
Net
Income
We earned
net income of $1.7 million for the three month period ended June 30,
2008. This is a decrease of $1.4 million or approximately 46% from
the same period ended June 30, 2007 which had a net income of $3.1
million. This decrease was primarily attributable to the higher
general and administrative cost as well as increase of income tax.
Foreign
Currency Translation Gains
We had a
foreign currency translation gain of $0.74 million for
the three month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared with $0.41 million
currency translation gain in the same period ended June
30, 2007. In July 21, 2005, China reformed its foreign currency exchange policy,
revalued the Renminbi by 2.1 percent and allowed Renminbi to appreciate as much
as 0.3 percent per day against the U.S. dollar. As a result, we
implemented different exchange rates in translating Renminbi into U.S. dollar in
our financial statements for the three month period ended June 30, 2008, the
exchange rates of RMB1: US$0.1459 and RMB1: US$0.1315 were implemented in
calculating the total assets/liabilities and statement of income, while for the
three month period ended June 30, 2007, the exchange rates of RMB1: US$0.1418and
RMB1: US$0.1377 were implemented.
Capital
Expenditures
The
capital expenditures in the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are set
out as below. Our capital expenditures were used primarily for plant
construction and purchase of equipment to expand our production capacity. The
table below sets forth the breakdown of our capital expenditures by use for the
periods indicated.

We do not
hold the land use right to the tract of property on which we have constructed
our manufacturing facilities and other related facilities. According to the
relevant PRC laws and regulations, a land use right certificate, along with
government approvals for land planning, project planning, and construction must
be obtained before the construction of any building is commenced. An ownership
certificate will be granted by the government upon application under the
condition that the aforementioned certificate and government approvals are
obtained.

Sales
Revenue
Our sales
revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 amounted to $24.8 million, which
is approximately $5.1 million or 26% more than that of the same period ended on
June 30, 2007, where we had revenue of $19.7 million. The increase in
sales revenue was primarily attributed to the expansion of our customer base and
sales of higher end products. The increase in sales revenue was a
result of price increases for our products, which generated
approximately 45% of the increase in revenues, and increased quantities of
products sold, which generated approximately 55% of the increase in
revenues.

goods sold was $14.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, an
increase of $2.8 million or 23%, as compared to $12.0 million for the six month
period ended June 30, 2007. Our costs of goods sold increased
primarily as a result of the increase in sales, however, we did achieve some
economies of scale and therefore our costs of good sold did not increase as much
as our revenues period to period. Cost of sales as a percentage of
total revenues were 60% and 61% for the six month periods ended on June 30, 2008
and 2007, respectively, a decrease of approximately 1%. This was
primarily a result of economies of production scale and more efficient cost
control.
Selling
expenses
Selling
expenses were $1.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, as
compared to $1.4 million for the same period ended June 30, 2007, an increase of
$0.5 million or approximately 30%. The increase was in line with
the increase in sales.
Operating and administrative
expenses
Our
general and administrative expenses were $3.3 million for the six month period
ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $1.8 million for the same period ended June
30, 2007, an increase of $1.5 million or approximately 87%. The
increase was primarily attributable to our adoption of early retirement program,
traveling expenses, and consulting and audit expenses which cost approximately
$0.7 million, $0.2 million, and $0.2 million respectively.
Environmental Laws
Compliance Costs
We
incurred no costs for environmental compliance for the six month period ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Income From Operations
Income
from operations was $4.7 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008,
as compared to $4.4 million for the same period ended June 30, 2007, an increase
of $0.3 million or approximately 6%. The increase was primarily
attributable to increase in sales and gross margin.
Other income
(expenses)
Total
other income was $0.287 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, as
compared to $0.313 million for the same period ended June 30,
2007. The financial expenses for the six month period ended on June
30, 2008 and 2007 are $0.292 million and $0.362 million,
respectively.
Income
taxes
We
incurred income taxes of $1.3 million for the six month period ended on June 30,
2008. This is an increase of $0.6 million or 92% from the taxes we
incurred in the same 2007 period, which were $0.7 million. We
incurred more taxes in the six months ended June 30, 2008 mostly because of the
higher assessable income in the six month period ended on June 30, 2008 compared
to 2007. In addition, our subsidiary, High Pressure Valve no longer
enjoys tax exemption as it did in 2007. It is currently subject to
regular tax rate of 25%.
Net
Income
We earned
net income of $3.4 million for the six month period ended June 30,
2008. This is a decrease of $0.3 million or approximately 9% from the
same period ended June 30, 2007 which had a net income of $3.7
million. This decrease is primarily attributable to the higher
general and administrative cost incurrent as well as increase of provision for
income tax.
Foreign
Currency Translation Gains
We had a
foreign currency translation gain of $2.3 million for
the six month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared with $0.5 million currency
translation gain in the same period ended June
30, 2007. In July 21, 2005, China reformed its foreign currency exchange policy,
revalued the Renminbi by 2.1 percent and allowed Renminbi to appreciate as much
as 0.3 percent per day against the U.S. dollar. As a result, we
implemented different exchange rates in translating Renminbi into U.S. dollar in
our financial statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, the
exchange rates of RMB1: US$0.1459 and RMB1: US$0.1315 were implemented in
calculating the total assets/liabilities and statement of income, while for the
three month period ended June 30, 2007, the exchange rates of RMB1: US$0.1418
and RMB1: US$0.1377 were implemented.
Liquidity and
Capital Resources
As of
June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4.6 million. The

Cash has
historically been generated from operations as well as short-term loans from
various sources, which has provided sufficient liquidity to support our working
capital requirements, planned capital expenditures, completion of current and
future reorganization and acquisition-related programs, and debt
obligations.
Operating
Activities
Net cash
provided by operating activities was $0.047 million in the six months ended June
30, 2008, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $4.2 million
in the same period in fiscal year 2007. The change of $4.1 million in operating
activities was primarily attributable to decrease in other payables due to
related parties, customer deposits and increases in advances on inventory
purchases and income taxes paid for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Investing
Activities
Net cash
used in investing activities increased from $1.3 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2007, to $1.7 million in the same period in fiscal year
2008. The net cash used in investing activities during the period
ended June 30, 2008, was primarily used for purchase of additional
machinery and equipment.
Financing
Activities
Net cash
provided by financing activities was $3.3 million in the six months ended June
30, 2008, compared to net cash used in finance activities of $7.8 million in the
same period in fiscal year 2007. This was primarily attributable to short term
borrowing proceeds from related party and third parties. In addition, Mr. Siping
Fang contributed additional $1.3 million to the Company during the six months
ended June 30, 2008.
As of
June 30, 2008, there was no principal outstanding under our credit facilities
and lines of credit.
Capital
Expenditures
The
capital expenditures in the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are set out
as below. Our capital expenditures were used primarily for plant construction
and purchase of equipment to expand our production capacity. The table below

Other
than the contractual obligations and commercial commitments set forth above, we
did not have any other long-term debt obligations, operating lease obligations,
capital commitments, purchase obligations or other long-term liabilities as of
Jun 30, 2008.
Off-Balance
Sheet Transactions
We do not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Interest
Rate Risk
We are
exposed to interest rate risk primarily with respect to our short-term bank
loans. Although the interest rates are fixed for the terms of the
loans, the terms are typically twelve months and interest rates are subject to
change upon renewal. Since December 21 2007, China People’s Bank has
increased the interest rate of RMB bank loans with a term of 6 months or less by
0.99%, and loans with a term of 6 to 12 months by 1.35%. The new
interest rates are 6.57% and 7.47% for RMB bank loans with a term 6 months or
less and loans with a term of 6-12 months, respectively. A
hypothetical 1.0% increase in the annual interest rates for all of our credit
facilities at June 30, 2008 would decrease net income before provision for
income taxes by approximately $0.3 million for the six month ended June 30,
2008. Management monitors the banks’ interest rates in conjunction
with our cash requirements to determine the appropriate level of debt balances
relative to other sources of funds. We have not entered into any
hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to interest rate
risk.
Foreign
Exchange Risk
While our
reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar, all of our consolidated revenues and
consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in Renminbi. All of
our assets are denominated in RMB except for cash which is in RMB and Hong Kong
Dollar. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our
revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the
exchange rate between U.S. Dollars and RMB. If the RMB depreciates
against the U.S. Dollar, the value of our RMB revenues, earnings and assets as
expressed in our U.S. Dollar financial statements will decline. We
have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our
exposure to foreign exchange risk.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with U.S.
GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect
(1) the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, (2) the disclosure of
our contingent assets and liabilities at the end of each fiscal period and (3)
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each fiscal period. We
continually evaluate these estimates based on our own historical experience,
knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions, our
expectations regarding the future based on available information and reasonable
assumptions, which together form our basis for making judgments about matters
that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is
an integral component of the financial reporting process, our actual results
could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a
higher degree of judgment than others in their application.
When
reviewing our financial statements, the following should also be considered: (1)
our selection of critical accounting policies, (2) the judgment and other
uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, and (3) the
sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions. We
believe the following accounting policies involve the most significant judgment
and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting
Bulletin (“SAB”) 104. Sales revenue is recognized when all of the following have
occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has
occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or
determinable, and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured. These
criteria are generally satisfied at the time of shipment when risk of loss and
title passes to the customer.
The
Company recognizes revenue when the goods are delivered and title has passed.
Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax
(VAT). All of the Company’s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a
Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 17% of the gross sales price or at a rate
approved by the Chinese local government. This VAT may be offset by the VAT paid
by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of
producing their finished product.
Accounts
Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The
Company’s business operations are conducted in the PRC by selling on various
credit terms. Management reviews its accounts receivable on a quarterly basis to
determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for
doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no
longer probable. The Company’s existing reserve is consistent with
its historical experience and considered adequate by the
management.
Changes
in Accounting Standards
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No.
115 (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently
required to be measured at fair value. The objective of FAS 159 is to provide
opportunities to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring
related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply hedge
accounting provisions. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure
requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose
different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. The Company chose not to
elect the option to measure the fair value of eligible financial assets and
liabilities.
In June
2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, “Accounting for
Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future
Research and Development Activities” (“FSP EITF 07-3”), which addresses whether
nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for
research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment
is made or when the research and development activity has been
performed. The Company adopted FSP EITF 07-3 and expensed the
research and development as incurred.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS 160
establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest
in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will
become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The
management is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 160 will have on the
Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
In
December 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business
Combinations, was issued. SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, Business
Combinations. SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that
the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method)
be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for
each business combination. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the
acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date,
with limited exceptions.
This
replaces SFAS 141’s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an
acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS 141R also requires the
acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages (sometimes referred to as
a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as
well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of
their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with SFAS
141R). SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which
the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting
period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it
before that date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting
SFAS No. 141R will have on its financial statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133”, (“SFAS 161”)
which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative
instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such
instruments under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and a tabular
disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items on our
financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective
for us beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact that adopting SFAS 161 will have on its financial
statements.
In April
2008, the FASB issued 142-3 “Determination of the useful life of Intangible
Assets”, which amends the factors a company should consider when developing
renewal assumptions used to determine the useful life of an intangible asset
under SFAS142. This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those
fiscal years. SFAS 142 requires companies to consider whether renewal can be
completed without substantial cost or material modification of the existing
terms and conditions associated with the asset. FSP 142-3 replaces the previous
useful life criteria with a new requirement—that an entity consider its own
historical experience in renewing similar arrangements. If historical experience
does not exist, then the Company would consider market participant assumptions
regarding renewal including 1) highest and best use of the asset by a market
participant, and 2) adjustments for other entity-specific factors included in
SFAS 142. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS
No.142-3 will have on its financial statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles.” This Statement identifies the sources of accounting
principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in
the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). The Company is currently evaluating the
impact that adopting SFAS No. 141R will have on its financial
statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee
Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” The scope of
this Statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance)
contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within
the scope of Statement 60. Accordingly, this Statement does not apply to
financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of
Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial
guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage
guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables). This Statement
also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are
derivative instruments included within the scope of FASB Statement No. 133,
“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This Statement
will not have and impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In June
2008, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 07-5 “Determining whether
an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF
No. 07-5”). This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. Early application is not permitted. Paragraph 11(a) of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No 133 “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging
Activities” (“SFAS 133”) specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the
definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the
Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the
statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial
instrument. EITF No.07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in
determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to
an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a)
scope exception. This standard
triggers liability accounting on all options and warrants exercisable at strike
prices denominated in any currency other than the functional currency of the
operating entity in China (Renminbi). The Company is evaluating the
effect it will have on its financial statements.
In June
2008, FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-4, “Transition Guidance for Conforming
Changes to Issue No. 98-5 (“EITF No. 08-4”)”. The objective of EITF No.08-4
is to provide transition guidance for conforming changes made to EITF No. 98-5,
“Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or
Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, that result from EITF No. 00-27
“Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, and SFAS No.
150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both
Liabilities and Equity”. This Issue is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Early application is
permitted. This Statement will not have and impact on the Company’s
financial statements.
Exchange
Rates
The
financial records of Henan Tonghai, High Pressure Valves and Zheng Die Valves
are maintained in RMB. In order to prepare our financial statements, we have
translated amounts in RMB into amounts in U.S. dollars. The amounts of our
assets and liabilities on our balance sheets are translated using the closing
exchange rate as of the date of the balance sheet. Revenues, expenses, gains and
losses are translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the
period covered by such financial statements. Adjustments resulting from the
translation, if any, are included in our cumulative other comprehensive
income (loss) in our stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheet. All
other amounts that were originally booked in RMB and translated into U.S.
dollars were translated using the closing exchange rate on the date of
recognition. Consequently, the exchange rates at which the amounts in those
comparisons were computed varied from year to year.
The
exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into U.S. dollars in connection
with the preparation of our financial statements were as follows:

Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As
required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of June 30, 2008.
Disclosure
controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or
submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and
that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In
designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and
implementing possible controls and procedures.
As of
June 30, 2008, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our
chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) were not effective.
During
our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting
as of June 30, 2008, our management identified significant deficiencies related
to the following:
1. Accounting
and Finance Personnel Weaknesses – US GAAP
expertise. Our current accounting stuff is relatively new and
inexperienced, and needs substantial training so as to meet with the higher
demands of being a U.S. public company. The accounting skills and understanding
necessary to fulfill the requirements of U.S. GAAP-based reporting, including
the skills of subsidiary financial statements consolidation, are inadequate and
were inadequately supervised. The lack of sufficient and adequately trained
accounting and finance personnel resulted in an ineffective segregation of
duties relative to key financial reporting functions.
2. Lack of
internal audit
function – We lack qualified resources to perform the internal audit
functions properly. In addition, the scope and effectiveness of the
internal audit function are yet to be developed.
3. Lack of
Internal Audit System
– We lack an internal
audit department, which renders ineffective our ability to prevent and detect
control lapses and errors in the accounting of certain key areas like revenue
recognition, purchase approvals, inter-company transactions, cash receipt and
cash disbursement authorizations, inventory safeguard and proper accumulation
for cost of products, in accordance with our appropriate costing
method. Management also determined that the lack of an Audit
Committee of the board of directors of the Company also contributes to
insufficient oversight of our accounting and audit functions.
As
disclosed in our Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting filed with the 2007 Form 10-K, the Company's management has identified
the steps necessary to address the material weaknesses described above and in
the second quarter of 2008, we continued to impliment these remedial
procedures.
1. Hire,
as needed, additional accounting and operations personnel and outside
contractors with technical accounting expertise and reorganized the
accounting and finance department to ensure that accounting personnel with
adequate experience, skills and knowledge relating to complex, non-routine
transactions are directly involved in the review and accounting evaluation of
our complex, non-routine transactions.
2. Involve,
as needed, both internal accounting and operations personnel and outside
contractors with technical accounting expertise early in the evaluation of our
complex, non-routine transaction to obtain additional guidance as to the
application of generally accepted accounting principles to such a proposed
transaction.
3. Require
that our senior accounting personnel and the principal accounting officer review
our complex, non-routine transactions to evaluate and approve the accounting
treatment for such transactions.
4. Interview
prospective persons for appointment to our Board, including a person who is
appropriately credentialed as a financial expert with a goal to establish an
Audit and Compensation committee as well as ensure that we have sufficient
independent directors.
5.
Evaluate our internal audit function in relation to our financial resources and
requirements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During
the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008, there have been no changes in the
Company's internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection
with our evaluation thereof, that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial
reporting.
