China Precision Steel, Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.   Description of Business

On December 28, 2006, China Precision Steel, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”), under our former name, OraLabs Holding Corp., issued 25,363,002 shares of common stock in exchange for 100% of the registered capital of Partner Success Holdings Limited (“PSHL”), a British Virgin Islands Business Company pursuant to a Stock Exchange Agreement, dated March 31, 2006. Subsequent to the closing of that transaction, on December 28, 2006, the Company redeemed 3,629,350 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the common stock of OraLabs, Inc., a wholly-owned operating subsidiary. The Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock to OraLabs, Inc. in exchange for $450,690, and received additional cash payments in the aggregate amount of $108,107 in payment of an estimated $558,797 tax liability to be incurred by the Company in connection with the spinoff of OraLabs, Inc. and the supplemental payment received. The Company then changed its name to China Precision Steel, Inc.

These transactions were treated for financial reporting purposes as a recapitalization, with prior OraLabs, Inc. operating activities reflected on the statements of operations as income (loss) from discontinued operations. The $558,797 estimated tax liability incurred in connection with the spinoff of OraLabs, Inc. was treated as a transaction cost for financial reporting purposes and was treated as a reduction in additional paid in capital to the extent of the additional cash received which was also $558,797.

PSHL, registered on April 30, 2002 in the Territory of the British Virgin Islands, had registered capital of $50,000 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. It has three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Shanghai Chengtong Precision Strip Company Limited (“Chengtong”), Shanghai Tuorong Precision Strip Company Limited (“Tuorong”), and Blessford International Limited (“Blessford”).

Chengtong was registered on July 2, 2002 in Shanghai, People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), with a registered capital of $3,220,000 and a defined period of existence of 50 years from July 2, 2002 to July 1, 2052. Chengtong was classified as a Sino-foreign joint venture enterprise with limited liabilities. On August 22, 2005, the authorized registered capital was increased to $15,220,000 and on December 11, 2007, the authorized registered capital was further increased to $42,440,000. Pursuant to the document issued by the District Council to Xuhang Town Council on June 28, 2004, the equity transfers from China Chengtong Metal Group Limited and Eastreal Holdings Company Limited to PSHL were approved and the transformation of Chengtong from a Sino-foreign joint investment enterprise to a wholly foreign owned enterprise (WFOE) was granted.

In the year ended June 30, 2007, we added three indirect subsidiaries to our corporate structure. On April 9, 2007, we purchased Shanghai Tuorong Precision Strip Company Limited, or Tuorong, through PSHL. The sole activity of Tuorong is the ownership of a land use right with respect to facilities utilized by Chengtong. On April 10, 2007, PSHL purchased for $100,000 Blessford International Limited, a British Virgin Islands company. Blessford International Limited does not conduct any business, but it owns a single subsidiary, Shanghai Blessford Alloy Company Limited, that is a wholly-foreign owned enterprise with limited liabilities. Shanghai Blessford was registered on February 24, 2006 in Shanghai with a registered capital of $12,000,000 and a defined period of existence of 50 years from February 24, 2006 to February 23, 2056. On May 27, 2008, the authorized registered capital was increased to $22,000,000. We intend to hold Blessford International Limited as a shell subsidiary. As used herein, the “Group” refers to the Company, PSHL, Chengtong, Tuorong, Blessford International and Shanghai Blessford on a consolidated basis.

The Company’s principal activities are conducted through its two operating subsidiaries, Chengtong and Shanghai Blessford. Chengtong and Shanghai Blessford are niche precision steel processing companies principally engaged in the manufacture and sales of cold-rolled and hot-rolled precision steel products and plates for downstream applications in the automobile industry (components and spare parts), kitchen tools and functional parts of electrical appliances. Raw materials, hot-rolled de-scaled (pickled) steel coils, will go through certain cold reduction processing procedures to give steel rolls and plates in different cuts and thickness for deliveries in accordance with customers’ specifications. Specialty precision steel offers specific control of thickness, shape, width, surface finish and other special quality features that compliment the emerging need for highly engineered end use applications. Precision steel pertains to the precision of measurements and tolerances of the above factors, especially thickness tolerance.

2.     Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and related notes. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2008.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the balance sheet of China Precision Steel, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2007. The results of operations for the three or nine months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending June 30, 2009.

3.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Cash and Cash Equivalents - TheCompany considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity period of six months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure accounts receivables are not overstated due to uncollectibility. Allowances for bad and doubtful accounts are maintained for the Company’s domestic and international customers and clients based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers and clients, historical trends, and other information. Our allowance for doubtful accounts is a subjective critical estimate that has a direct impact on reported net earnings, and it is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance will change, such as in the case when the Company becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations. At March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, the Company had $1,036,609 and $1,033,479 of allowances for doubtful accounts, respectively.

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

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

Intangible Assets and Amortization – Intangible assets represent land use rights in China acquired by the Company and are stated at cost less amortization. Amortization of land-use rights is calculated on the straight-line method, based on the period over which the right is granted by the relevant authorities in China.

Advances to Suppliers - In order to secure a steady supply of raw materials, the Company is required from time to time to make cash advances when placing its purchase orders. Cash advances are shown net of allowances. The Company created this partial reserve against advances to suppliers for goods ordered and not received within one year of the advance payment made.

Property, Plant and Equipment - Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and location for its intended use.

9

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets for financial reporting purposes. The estimated useful lives for significant property and equipment are as follows:

Plant and machinery	10 years
Buildings	10 years
Motor vehicles	5 years
Office equipment	5 years

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

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company accounts for impairment of plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142 and SFAS No. 144, which requires the Company to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability when there is event or circumstance that indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable (when carrying amount exceeds the gross, undiscounted cash flows from use and disposition) and is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over the asset’s (or asset group’s) fair value.

Capitalized Interest - The Company capitalizes interest cost on borrowings incurred during the new construction or upgrade of qualified assets. Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the underlying assets and is amortized over the useful lives of the assets. During the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company capitalized no interest to construction-in-progress.

Construction-in-Progress - Plant and production lines currently under development are accounted for as construction-in-progress. Construction-in-progress is recorded at acquisition cost, including land rights cost, development expenditure, professional fees and the interest expenses capitalized during the course of construction for the purpose of financing the project. Upon completion and readiness for use of the project, the cost of construction-in-progress is to be transferred to fixed assets.

Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets - A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognized because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably.

A contingent liability is not recognized but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable, the contingency is then recognized as a provision.

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain events not wholly within the control of the Company.

Contingent assets are not recognized but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. When inflow is virtually certain, an asset is recognized.

Advances from Customers - Revenue from the sale of goods or services is recognized at the time that goods are delivered or services are rendered. Receipts in advance for goods to be delivered or services to be rendered in a subsequent period are carried forward as deferred revenue.

Revenue Recognition - - Revenue from the sale of goods and services is recognized on the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to customers and the title has passed and services have been rendered and invoiced. Revenue is reported net of all VAT taxes. Other income is recognized when it is earned.

Functional Currency and Translating Financial Statements– The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our functional currency is Chinese Renminbi; however, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in USD. The consolidated balance sheets have been translated into USD at the exchange rates prevailing at each balance sheet date. The consolidated statements of operations and cash flows have been translated using the weighted-average exchange rates prevailing during the periods of each statement.

Foreign Currencies - The Company’s principal country of operations is the PRC. The financial position and results of operations of the Company are determined using the local currency (“Renminbi” or “Yuan”) as the functional currency. Transactions not conducted in Renminbi are translated into Renminbi at the exchange rates prevailing at the times of such transactions. The results of operations denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the market rate of exchange ruling at that date. The registered equity capital denominated in the functional currency is translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of capital contribution. All translation adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements into the reporting currency (“US Dollars”) are dealt with as an exchange fluctuation reserve in shareholders’ equity.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income – Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the change in equity of the Company during the periods presented from foreign currency translation adjustments.

Taxation - Taxation on overseas profits has been calculated on the estimated assessable profits for the year at the rates of taxation prevailing in the country in which the Company operates.

United States

China Precision Steel, Inc. is subject to United States federal income tax at a tax rate of 34%. No provision for income taxes in the United States has been made as China Precision Steel, Inc. had no taxable income in fiscal years 2009 and 2008.

BVI 

PSHL and Blessford International were incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and, under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, are not subject to income taxes.

PRC

Provision for the PRC enterprise income tax is calculated at the prevailing rate based on the estimated assessable profits less available tax relief for losses brought forward. The Company does not accrue taxes on unremitted earnings from foreign operations as it is the Company’s intention to invest these earnings in the foreign operations indefinitely.

Enterprise income tax

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China passed The Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “New EIT Law”), and on December 6, 2007, the State Council of China passed the Implementing Rules for the EIT Law (“Implementing Rules”) which took effect on January 1, 2008. The New EIT Law and Implementing Rules impose a unified enterprise income tax (“EIT”) of 25% on all domestic-invested enterprises and foreign invested entities (“FIEs”), unless they qualify under certain limited exceptions. Therefore, nearly all FIEs are subject to the new tax rate alongside other domestic businesses rather than benefiting from the old FIE tax laws, and its associated preferential tax treatments, beginning January 1, 2008.

Despite these changes, the EIT Law gives the FIEs established before March 16, 2007 (“Old FIEs”) a five-year grandfather period during which they can continue to enjoy their existing preferential tax treatments, commonly referred to as “tax holidays”, until these holidays expire. As Old FIEs, Chengtong’s tax holiday of a 50% reduction in the 25% statutory rates had expired on December 31, 2008 and will be subject to the 25% statutory rates from January 1, 2009 onward, Shanghai Blessford is currently enjoying a full tax exemption from the enterprise income tax that will expire on December 31, 2009, and is entitled to a 50% reduction for the three subsequent years expiring on December 31, 2012. Subsequent to the expiry of their tax holidays, Chengtong and Shanghai Blessford will be subject to enterprise income taxes at 25% or the prevailing statutory rates. The discontinuation of any such special or preferential tax treatment or other incentives would have an adverse effect on any organization’s business, fiscal condition and current operations in China.

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

In 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FIN 48, which clarifies the application of SFAS No. 109 by defining a criterion that an individual income tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, accounting for interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. In accordance with the transition provisions, the Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007.

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

Based on all known facts and circumstances and current tax law, the Company believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2009, is not material to its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company also believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2009, if recognized, would not have a material effect on its effective tax rate. The Company further believes that there are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible, based on current Chinese tax law and policy, that the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease over the next 12 months producing, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Value added tax

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

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

Retirement Benefit Costs - According to the PRC regulations on pension, Chengtong and Shanghai Blessford contribute to a defined contribution retirement scheme organized by municipal government in the province in which Chengtong and Shanghai Blessford were registered and all qualified employees are eligible to participate in the scheme. Contributions to the scheme are calculated at 23.5% of the employees’ salaries above a fixed threshold amount and the employees contribute 2% to 8%, while Chengtong and Shanghai Blessford contribute the balance contribution of 15.5%% to 21.5%. The Group has no other material obligation for the payment of retirement benefits beyond the annual contributions under this scheme.

12

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009, the Company’s pension cost charged to the statements of operations under the plan amounted to $70,709 and $231,594, respectively, all of which have been paid to the National Social Security Fund (2008: $83,273 and $215,931, respectively).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other payables approximate their fair values as at March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008 because of the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4.  Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk

The Company’s list of customers whose purchases exceeded 10% of total sales during the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

Customers	2009			% to sales			2008			% to sales

BaoSteel Steel Products Trading Co. Ltd.		10,758,080		31		13,259,732		34
Shanghai Pinyun Steel Co., Ltd		8,486,770		25		8,278,110		21

5.  Accounts Receivable

The Company provides credit in the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its domestic and international customers and clients and maintains allowances for bad and doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers and clients, historical trends, and other information. Trade accounts receivable, net totaled $21,029,146 and $33,783,074 as of March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively.

 From time to time, accounts receivable are reviewed for changes from the historic collection experience to ensure the appropriateness of the allowances. These estimates had been relatively accurate in the past and there was no need to revise such estimates. However, we will review such estimates more frequently when needed, and make revisions if necessary. The continuation or intensification of the current global economic crisis and turmoil in the global financial markets may have negative consequences for the business operations of our customers and adversely impact their ability to meet their obligations to us. A significant change in our collection experience, deterioration in the aging of receivables and collection difficulties could require that we increase our estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Any such additional bad debt charges could materially and adversely affect our future operating results.

13.  Equity

Pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to reserve for issuance to investors in the private placement an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock if the Company’s net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 was less than US$10.4 million, as set forth in the Company’s audited financial statements as filed with the SEC in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for that fiscal year. As the Company’s net income as set forth in its audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2007 was less than US$10.4 million, the Company was required to issue the 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to such investors. Such issuance was effected on October 15, 2007. No additional consideration was received by the Company in connection with this issuance of shares of Common Stock.

In conjunction with the Company’s final audit of the Tuorong acquisition, certain post-closing adjustments were required. In light of such adjustments and consistent with the purposes and intentions of the Debt Reduction Agreement, dated February 13, 2007, as amended February 20, 2007, it was determined that 771,060 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued to directors pursuant to such Agreement would be required to be cancelled in order to eliminate the $2,590,763 reflected on the June 30, 2007 audited financial statements as amounts due from directors. Such cancellation was effected on November 8, 2007.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, on November 6, 2007, the Company agreed to issue and sell in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) an aggregate of 7,100,000 shares of its common stock (“Common Stock”) at a price of $6.75 per share (the “Purchase Price”) and an aggregate of 1,420,000 warrants to purchase shares of its Common Stock (“Warrants” and, together with the Common Stock, the “Securities”). The Warrants have an exercise price of $8.45 per share. The Warrants may not be exercised prior to May 6, 2008. The Securities (including the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants) are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), pursuant to the Company’s existing effective shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3. In connection with the offer and sale of the Securities, the Company filed on November 1, 2007, a Registration Statement on Form S-3 pursuant to Rule 462(b) promulgated under the Act to register an additional $10 million of its securities relating to its shelf Registration Statement.

The Company closed the Offering on November 6, 2007 (the “Closing Date”). The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $44 million, after deducting underwriting commissions and discounts and other fees and expenses relating to the offering. The warrants were valued at $5.3 million and were recorded to additional paid-in capital. The intended usage of the net proceeds was for repayment of certain bank debt, capital expenditure, and general corporate purposes. During the year ended June 30, 2008, long-term bank loans of $13,042,159 were paid off, and a progress payment of $7,016,729 was made in relation to the construction of the third cold rolling mill. During the nine months ended March 31, 2009, we invested an additional $13,423,016 in construction in progress and property, production plants and equipment in relation to the third cold rolling mill and expansion of the Shanghai Blessford production facilities.

On the Closing Date, pursuant to a Placement Agency Agreement entered into between the Company and Roth Capital Partners LLC on October 31, 2007, Roth Capital received an amount in cash equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and warrants to purchase an amount of Common Stock equal to 3.0% of the total number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering (the “Placement Warrants”), or 225,600 shares of Common Stock valued at $887,504, and this amount was recorded as syndication fees offsetting additional paid-in capital. Such Placement Warrants have an exercise price per share of 120% of the closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the Closing Date, or $7.38, and were not exercisable prior to May 6, 2008. Thereafter, the Placement Warrants are exercisable at any time until the third anniversary of the date of issue.

14.  Stock Warrants

On November 6, 2007, in connection with a Subscription Agreement, dated November 1, 2007 (the “Subscription Agreement”), the Company issued to certain institutional accredited investors warrants to purchase 1,420,000 shares of Common Stock valued at $5,374,748. In connection with the transaction, Roth Capital Partners, LLC, as placement agent, received warrants to purchase 225,600 shares of Common Stock valued at $887,504.

16.  Earnings/(loss) Per Share

SFAS 128 requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share (EPS) computations.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, warrants to purchase 358,392 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00; 100,000 shares at an exercise price of $3.60; 1,420,000 shares at an exercise price of $8.45 and 225,600 shares at an exercise price of $7.38 were not included as their effect would have been anti-dilutive, however, these securities could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. For the nine months ended March 31, 2008, dilutive shares include outstanding warrants to purchase 1,025,059 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 and 100,000 shares at an exercise price of $3.60.  Warrants to purchase 1,420,000 shares at an exercise price of $8.45; and 225,600 shares at an exercise price of $7.38 were not included as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, warrants to purchase 358,392 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00; 100,000 shares at an exercise price of $3.60; 1,420,000 shares at an exercise price of $8.45 and 225,600 shares at an exercise price of $7.38 were not included as their effect would have been anti-dilutive, however, these securities could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future.

17.  Capital Commitments

As of March 31, 2009, the Company had contractual commitments $2,495,610 for the construction of a cold rolling mill and annealing furnaces.

18.  Impairment

We determine such impairment by measuring the estimated undiscounted future cash flow generated by the assets, comparing the result to the asset carrying value and adjust the asset to the lower of its carrying value or fair value and charging current operations for the measured impairment. The determination of the asset fair value is subject to significant judgment.

The recent decline in market cap and stock price has triggered an interim impairment test under SFAS No. 142 and SFAS No. 144, an impairment test was performed for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and no impairment charges were recognized for the relevant period. As of March 31, 2009, the Company expects these assets to be fully recoverable.Goodwill amounting to $99,999 as at March 31, 2009 was considered immaterial and not tested for impairment.

19.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FASB recently issued the following standards which the Company reviewed to determine the potential impact on our financial statements upon adoption.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) will change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS No. 141(R), an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141(R) will change the accounting treatment and disclosure for certain specific items in a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) 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. SFAS No. 141(R) will impact the Company in the event of any future acquisition.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe that SFAS No. 160 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

19

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The guidance in SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not impact our consolidated financial statements in any material respect.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FAS 142-3”), which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”).  The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations,” and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  This FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (the Company’s fiscal year 2010), and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company does not believe the adoption of FSP 142-3 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. 

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" (“SFAS No. 162”).  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 non-governmental entities that are presented in conformity with US GAAP. The provisions of SFAS No. 162 become effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the amendment to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Presents Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.  The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts” (FASB No. 163”). The new standard clarifies how FASB Statement No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises”, applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. It also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. FASB No. 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years, except for disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities, which are effective the first period (including interim periods) beginning after May 23, 2008. Except for the required disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The standard is not applicable to this Company.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FAS 157-3”). This FSP clarifies the application of FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance. The adoption of FAS 157-3 will not impact our consolidated financial statements in any material respect.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132 (R) -1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 132 (revised 2003) ("FSP No. 132 (R) -1"). It provides guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets, including: how investment allocation decisions are made and factors that are pertinent to an understanding of investment policies and strategies; the major categories of plan assets; the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets; the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3) on changes in plan assets for the period, and significant concentrations of risks within plan assets. FSP 132 (R) -1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of this standard may have on our financial statements.

20

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. It requires the fair value for all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ("SFAS No. 107"), to be disclosed in the interim periods as well as in annual financial statements.  This standard is effective for the quarter ending after June 15, 2009.  We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of this standard may have on our financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. It clarifies the objective and method of fair value measurement even when there has been a significant decrease in market activity for the asset being measured. This standard is effective for the quarter ending after June 15, 2009. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of this standard may have on our financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. The objective of an other-than-temporary impairment analysis under existing U.S. GAAP is to determine whether the holder of an investment in a debt or equity security for which changes in fair value are not regularly recognized in earnings (such as securities classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale) should recognize a loss in earnings when the investment is impaired. An investment is impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost basis. This FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of this standard may have on our financial statements.

Overview of Our Business

We are a niche and high value-added steel processing company principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of high precision cold-rolled steel products, in the provision of heat treatment and in the cutting and slitting of medium and high-carbon hot-rolled steel strips. We use commodity steel to create a high value-added specialty premium steel. Specialty precision steel pertains to the precision of measurements and tolerances of thickness, shape, width, surface finish and other special quality features of highly-engineered end-use applications.

We produce and sell precision ultra-thin and high strength cold-rolled steel products ranging from 7.5 mm to 0.03 mm. We also provide heat treatment and cutting and slitting of medium and high-carbon hot-rolled steel strips not exceeding 7.5 mm thickness. Our process puts hot-rolled de-scaled (pickled) steel coils through a cold-rolling mill, utilizing our patented systems and high technology reduction processing procedures, to make steel coils and sheets in customized thicknesses according to customer specifications. Currently, our specialty precision products are mainly used in the manufacture of automobile parts and components, steel roofing, plane friction discs, appliances, food packaging materials, saw blades, textile needles, and microelectronics.

We conduct our operations principally in China through our wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, Chengtong and Shanghai Blessford, which are wholly owned subsidiaries of our direct subsidiary, PSHL. Most of our sales are made domestically in China; however, we began exporting during fiscal 2007 and our overseas market currently covers Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Nigeria and Ethiopia. We intend to further expand into additional overseas markets in the future, subject to suitable market conditions and favorable regulatory controls.

Recent Developments

We are currently faced with multiple challenges. Excess capacity, low industrial concentration and a lack of access to natural resources have long plagued China's steel sector, and these problems have been exacerbated by the impact of the global financial and economic crisis.

The RMB400 billion economic stimulus package formulated jointly by the Chinese government’s National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in November 2008 is now planned to focus mainly on nine pillar industries, which include steel, automobiles, shipbuilding, petrochemicals, light industry, textiles, non-ferrous metals, machinery, and information technology, all with serious production surpluses in the whole industrial system.

Automobiles and steel sectors have been given priority and are the two main industries out of the nine pillars for which the government is expected to announce specific support packages and further details. On January 14, 2009, China's State Council approved a "rejuvenation plan" to support the steel industry, with the immediate aim to deal with the effects of the global financial and economic crisis and to also ease the industry's long-term structural problems. The steel industry plan includes eliminating obsolete capacity, speeding up innovation, promoting alliances and mergers and cutting export tariffs. The government will also subsidize loans of about RMB15 billion to encourage technological upgrading and product rationalization to better meet demand.

With more specific support details yet to be announced and the global crisis and its impact on China yet to run their full course, we expect to continue to experience weak demands and volatilities in both domestic and international markets in the foreseeable future.

Third Quarter Financial Performance Highlights

During the third fiscal quarter of 2009, we continued to see slower demands and lower steel prices compared to same period a year ago as a result of the impacts of the persisting global crisis. There were decreases in sales volume across all of our product lines over the three months ended March 31, 2009 as we are faced with multiple challenges and experiencing a difficult time with the global economic downturn. Demand is weak in all of the end segments we sell to, especially the high-carbon cold-rolled steel which are mainly used in auto components manufacturing, due to excess capacity and high inventory levels in the industry. Our two cold-rolling mills that were running at full capacity at the end of calendar 2008 are now operating at approximately 60% utilization rate due to reduced orders on hand.

23

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we sold a total of 11,000 tons of products, a decrease of 13,273 tons from 24,273 tons same period a year ago, due to slower demands and reduced orders on hand. Management believes that such decrease was caused by various factors including decrease in product orders from auto components manufacturers and from the Chinese auto industry that is experiencing weak demand and excess capacity; decrease in low-carbon cold rolled products, our exported products, due to the current credit crisis and the need to reduce exposure in the exporting business, and reduced orders in subcontracting income due to slower demand from customers during a downward economy and trending uncertainties of the industry. Lower sales and high raw material costs have led to a gross loss of $1,982,043 and a net loss of $3,518,453 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

It is currently unclear whether and to what extent the economic stimulus measures and other actions taken or contemplated by the Chinese government and other governments throughout the world will mitigate the effects of the crisis on the industries that affect our business. Furthermore, deteriorating economic conditions, including business layoffs, downsizing, industry slowdowns and other similar factors that affect our customers. could have further negative consequences on our business operations.  For the foreseeable future, we expect a continuation of weak demand and volatility in both domestic and international markets across all product segments, and significantly adverse impacts on our gross margin due to a decrease in sales of our high margin high carbon cold rolled steel used mainly in auto components manufacturing.  However, due to the nature of our niche segment and high-end products, we have been able to keep quality customers and negotiate new contracts with a number of new customers during the quarter, including three new customers in the high carbon cold rolled product segment. Management continues to be in talks with potential customers whose past orders we had been unable to fill due to full capacity.  If these talks are successful, we could see additional sales from a broadened customer base which would further mitigate the impact of the current global slowdown on our business and results of operations.

Management also continues to take appropriate actions to perform business and credit reviews of customers and suppliers and reduce exposure by avoiding entry into contracts with countries or customers with high credit risks. We strive to optimize our product mix, prioritize higher margin products, and strengthen collection of accounts receivable in the existing business environment with the goal to maintain overall healthy sales volume, margins and cash positions. Management believes that there are high barriers to entry in the Chinese domestic precision cold-rolled steel industry because of the level of technology expertise required for operation. Although we continue to face volatilities in demand and overall steel industry, the medium to long term prospects remain highly optimistic and we believe that our unique capabilities and know-how give us a competitive advantage to grow sales and build a globally recognized brand as we continue to carry out R&D and expand to new segments, customers and markets.

The following are some financial highlights for the third quarter of 2009:

· Revenues: Our revenues were approximately $7.6 million for the third quarter of 2009, a decrease of 59.4% from the same quarter of last year.

· Gross Margin: Gross margin was (26.0)% for the third quarter of 2009, as compared to 28.6% for the same period in 2008.

· Income/(loss) from operations before tax: Loss from operations before tax was approximately $2.9 million for the third quarter of 2009, as compared to income from operations before tax of $4.4 million of the same period last year.

· Net Income/(loss): Net loss was approximately $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2009, a decrease of 196.7% from a net income of approximately $3.6 million for the same period last year.

· Fully diluted loss per share was $0.08 for the third quarter of 2009 compared to a fully diluted earnings per share of $0.08 for the same period last year.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008

Sales Revenues. Sales volume decreased by 13,273 tons, or 54.7%, period-on-period to 11,000 tons for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from 24,273 tons for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  As a result, sales revenues decreased by $11,150,295, or 59.4%, period-on-period to $7,623,209 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $18,773,504 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in sales and sales revenues are a result of decrease in demand across all product categories and lower average selling prices during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 caused by the global slowdown and a downturn of the steel industry, as discussed in third quarter financial performance highlights above.

 A break-down of our sales by product line for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

Low carbon hard-rolled steel, which is also our exported precision steel products, accounted for 27.5% of sales during the three months ended March 31, 2009. This was $2,093,990, or 27.5%, of the current sales mix at an average selling price of $611 per ton for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This was the result of decrease in demand in our international markets, including Southeast Asia and Africa. This was also caused by management’s move to reduce credit exposure by avoiding entering into contracts with countries or customers with high credit and foreign exchange risks amid the ongoing credit crunch.  The low-carbon cold-rolled steel products accounted for 37.3% of the current sales mix at an average selling price of $578 per ton for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 28.6% of the sales mix at an average selling price per ton of $745 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease is a result of reduced orders in the galvanized steel plates in this category. High-carbon cold-rolled steel products accounted for 23.4% of the current sales mix at an average selling price of $1,029 per ton for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 21.4% of the sales mix at an average selling price per ton of $1,227 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease in this category is largely attributable to the slowdown of the Chinese auto industry with its weak demand and excess capacity, as a large quantity of our high-carbon cold-rolled steel products is sold to Chinese auto components manufacturers. Subcontracting income decreased to 0.9% of the current sales mix at an average selling price of $201 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 21.5% of the sales mix for the three months ended March 31, 2008 at an average selling price of $575 during the quarter, as demand for these products are slow while volatilities are expected and visibility is low.

The average unit selling price per ton generated decreased to $693 per ton for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the corresponding period in 2008 of $773, representing a decrease of $80, or 10.3%, period-on-period. This decrease was mainly due to changes in average selling prices across the product categories due to weakened demand for steel products. Sales of low-carbon cold-rolled steel products have decreased by 2,275 tons, or 31.6%, period-on-period to 4,921 tons for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 7,196 tons for the three months ended March 31, 2008. While the volume of low-carbon cold-rolled steel decreased, the average sales price also decreased $167, or 22%, to $578 in the three months ended March31, 2009, as compared to an average selling of $745 in the three months ended March 31, 2008. This product accounted for $2,841,892, or 37.3%, of the total sales mix for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $5,362,597, or 28.6%, of the sales mix for the three months ended March 31, 2008.   

A break-down of our sales by major customer for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

* Not a major customer for the relevant periods

Sales revenues generated from the top five major customers as a percentage of total sales increased to 53% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to 43% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The top five major customers were different period-on-period with the exception of Unimax & Far Corporation. The change in customer mix reflects our focus in optimizing product mix to maximize margins supported by a broadened customer base during the course of the period. 

We expect a continuation of weak demand and volatility in both domestic and international markets across various product segments in the foreseeable future, especially the higher margin low carbon cold rolled exported products and the high carbon cold rolled products that are sold to the troubled auto industry. These will have a significant negative impact on our sales, gross margins and results of operations. Management’s strategy is to strengthen our marketing activities by reaching out to potential customers whose past orders we had been unable to fill due to full capacity and customers who are looking to switch to us from their current higher cost imported purchases, which if successful, could result in additional sales from a broadened customer base and mitigate the impact of the current global slowdown.

Cost of Sales.Cost of sales decreased by $3,793,758, or 28.3%, period-on-period to $9,605,252 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $13,399,010 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Cost of sales represented 126.0% of sales revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 71.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Average cost per ton sold increased by $321, or 58.2%, period-on-period to $873 per ton for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $552 per ton for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Meanwhile, the average selling price per ton decreased by $80 per ton, or 10.3%, period-on-period to $693 per ton for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $773 per ton for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as a result of overall lower steel prices period-on-period.

Average cost per unit sold ($/ton)		873		552		321			58.2

 Management believes that the increase in cost of sales is represented by the combined effect of:

· an increase in cost of raw materials per unit sold of $65, or 14.8%, from $440 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $505 for the three months ended March 31, 2009;

27

· an increase in factory overhead per unit sold of $217, or 204.7%, from $106 for three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $323 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

The cost of raw materials consumed decreased by $5,132,393, or 48.0%, period-on-period to $5,552,803, for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $10,685,196 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This decrease was due to decreases in sales period-on-period.

Manufacturing overhead costs increased by $974,071, or 37.8%, period-on-period to $3,553,481 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $2,579,410 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase was mainly attributable to the combined effect of an increase in utilities allocated to cost of goods sold of $530,558, or 119%, period-on-period to $975,995 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $445,437 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, and an increase in depreciation allocated to cost of goods sold of $666,559, or 87%, period-on-period to $1,437,115 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $770,556 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Gross Profits/(loss) and Gross Margin/(loss). Our gross profit is equal to the difference between our revenues and our cost of goods sold. Gross profit in absolute terms decreased by $7,356,537, or 136.9%, period-on-period to $(1,982,043) for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $5,374,494 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, while gross profit margin decreased to (26.0)% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from 28.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The gross loss for the quarter and the decrease in gross profit margin principally resulted from higher raw material cost and lower selling prices period-to-period, and our inability to pass on all of our labor and overhead costs to customers during a downturn in the economy during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Selling Expenses.  Selling expenses increased by $95,015, or 46.7%, period-on-period, to $298,492 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the corresponding period in 2008 of $203,477. The increase was mainly attributable to the settlement of sales commission during the three months ended March 31, 2009 for goods shipped in the previous quarter.

Administrative Expenses.   Administrative expenses decreased by $157,969, or 22.6%, period-on-period, to $541,251 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the comparable period in 2008. This decrease was chiefly associated with lower SEC compliance costs and professional fees as there was no financing activity during the quarter and as we become more familiar with the rules and regulations as a listed company.

Income from Operations. Income from operations before tax decreased by $7,218,172, or 173%, period-on-period to a loss of $3,036,649 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from an income of $4,181,523 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as a result of the worldwide economic downturn and slowing demands from customers and markets we sell to as discussed above.

Other income.  Our other income decreased $76,338, or 49.9% to $76,556 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $152,894 for the same period in 2008.  Such percentage decrease was primarily due to lower interest income earned during the period with a lower cash balance coupled with lower interest rates.

Interest Expense.  Total interest expense decreased $158,740, or 38.2%, to $257,123 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $415,863 for the same period in 2008 due to lower loan balances and lower interest rates.

Income Taxes.  China Precision Steel, Inc. is subject to United States federal income tax at a tax rate of 34%.  No provision for income taxes in the United States has been made as China Precision Steel, Inc. had no United States taxable income during the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our wholly owned subsidiaries PSHL and Blessford International were incorporated in the BVI and, under the current laws of the BVI, are not subject to income taxes.

28

Our PRC subsidiaries, Chengtong and Shanghai Blessford, enjoy certain special or preferential tax treatments regarding foreign enterprise income tax in accordance with the “Income Tax Law of the PRC for Enterprises with Foreign Investment and Foreign Enterprises” and its implementing rules.  Accordingly, our PRC subsidiaries have been entitled to tax concessions whereby the profit for their first two financial years beginning with the first profit-making year (after setting off tax losses carried forward from prior years) was exempt from income tax in the PRC and the profit for each of the subsequent three financial years is taxed at 50% of the prevailing tax rates set by the relevant tax authorities.  However, on March 16, 2007, the PRC’s National People’s Congress passed the new Enterprise Income Tax Law, or EIT Law, and on November 28, 2007, the State Council of China passed the Implementing Rules for the EIT Law, or Implementing Rules, which took effect on January 1, 2008.  The EIT Law and Implementing Rules impose a unified EIT of 25.0% on all domestic-invested enterprises and FIEs, unless they qualify under certain limited exceptions.  Therefore, nearly all FIEs are subject to the new tax rate alongside other domestic businesses rather than benefiting from the FEIT, and its associated preferential tax treatments, beginning January 1, 2008.

Despite these changes, the EIT Law gives existing FIEs (“Old FIEs”) a five-year grandfather period during which they can continue to enjoy their existing preferential tax treatments.  As Old FIEs, Chengtong has been enjoying a 50% reduction in the 25% statutory rates that expired on December 31, 2008; Shanghai Blessford is currently enjoying a full exemption from the enterprise income tax that will expire on December 31, 2009, and is entitled to a 50% reduction for the three subsequent years expiring on December 31, 2012. Subsequent to the expiry of their respective tax holidays, Chengtong and Shanghai Blessford will be subject to enterprise income taxes at 25% or the prevailing statutory rates. The discontinuation of any such special or preferential tax treatment or other incentives would have an adverse effect on any organization’s business, fiscal condition and current operations in China.

In addition to the changes to the current tax structure, under the EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a resident enterprise and will normally be subject to an EIT of 25.0% on its global income.  The Implementing Rules define the term “de facto management bodies” as “an establishment that exercises, in substance, overall management and control over the production, business, personnel, accounting, etc., of a Chinese enterprise.”  If the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we should be classified as a resident enterprise, then the organization’s global income will be subject to PRC income tax of 25.0%.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recognized an income tax expense of $481,804, while for the same period in 2008, we recognized an income tax expense of $543,623. The decrease in income tax expenses mainly resulted from a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Net Income.  Net income decreased by $7,156,353, or 196.7%, period-on-period to a loss of $3,518,453 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from net income of $3,637,900 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as a result of the factors described above.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008

Gross Profit. Gross profit in absolute terms decreased by $11,594,111, or 68.1%, period-on-period to $5,421,952 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from $17,016,063 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, while gross profit margin decreased to 10.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from 28.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, as a result of lower sales revenues due to slower demand and increased cost of sales across all cost components period-on-period. The significantly lower gross profit and gross margin for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was primarily caused by weak performance as a result of downturn of the global economy during the third quarter leading to a gross loss of $1,982,043, as well as two direct sales transactions of raw materials in the amount of $2,685,419, or 11% of sales revenues for the first quarter.

Sales Revenues. Sales volume decreased by 28,200 metric tons, or 36.3%, to 49,451 metric tons for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from 77,651 metric tons for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Sales revenues decreased by $8,641,473, or 14.6%, period-on-period to $50,547,587 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from $59,189,060 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The decreases in sales volume and sales revenues are a result of reduced orders from customers due to the slower economy.

A break-down of our sales by product line for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

There was a general trend of slowing demand for various product categories over the nine months ended March 31, 2009 due to the global economic crisis and excess capacity. High-carbon cold-rolled steel products only accounted for 10.9% of the current sales mix at an average selling price of $1,116 per ton for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 36.4 % of the sales mix at an average selling price per ton of $1,369 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. This was a result of the slowing down of the auto industry as a large quantity of the products in this category is sold to auto components manufacturers. Low-carbon cold-rolled steel products only accounted for 31.0% of the current sales mix at an average selling price of $854 per ton for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 33.0 % of the sales mix at an average selling price per ton of $784 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. This substantial decrease in sales has been offset by increases in sales of the low carbon hard-rolled steel during the period. Low-carbon hard-rolled steel products accounted for 43.2% of the current sales mix at an average selling price of $1,018 per ton for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 13.9 % of the sales mix at an average selling price per ton of $661 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Low carbon hard-rolled steel accounted for $21,830,934, or 43.2%, of the current sales mix at an average selling price of $1,018 per ton for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.

High-carbon hot-rolled		1,115		529		586		>100
Subcontracting income		1,570		310		1,260		>100

The average unit selling price per ton generated increased to $1,022 per ton for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the corresponding period in 2008 of $762, representing an increase of $260, or 34.1%, period-on-period. This increase was mainly due to increases in average raw material prices period-on-period and therefore selling prices, and an increase in average unit selling price of the major products sold during the period. Sales of low-carbon hard-rolled steel products, which accounted for $21,830,934, or 43.2%, of the total sales mix for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, increased by 8,973 metric tons, or 72.0%, period-on-period to 21,435 metric tons for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 12,462 metric tons for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Meanwhile, the average unit selling price of this product increased $357 to $1,018 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.

* Not a major customer for the relevant periods

Sales revenues generated from the top five major customers as a percentage of total sales decreased to 51% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to 65% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. With the exception of Shanghai Changshuo Stainless Steel Processing Co. Ltd., the top five major customers were different period-on-period. The change in customer mix reflects our broadened customer base during the course of the period.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $2,952,638, or 7.0%, period-on-period to $45,125,635 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, from $42,172,997 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Cost of sales represented 89.3% of sales revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 71.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Average cost of production per ton increased to $913 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to an average cost of production per ton of $543 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008,  representing an increase of $370 per ton, or 68.1%, period-on-period.

Management believes that the increase in cost of sales is represented by the combined effect of:

· a significant increase in cost of raw materials per unit sold of $268, or 57.9%, from $463 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared  to $731 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009;

· an increase in direct labor per unit sold of $12 or 200.0%, from $6 for nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $18 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.          

· an increase in factory overhead per unit sold of $90 or 121.6%, from $74 for nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $164 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.

31

The cost of raw materials consumed increased by $173,908, or 0.5%, period-on-period to $36,128,837for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from $35,954,929 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. This increase was mainly due to increases in raw material prices period-on-period.

Manufacturing overhead costs increased by $2,376,057, or 41.4%, period-on-period to $8,109,254 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, from $5,733,197 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The increase was mainly attributable to the combined effect of an increase in depreciation of $1,591,297, or 111.3%, period-on-period to $3,021,547 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, from $1,430,250 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, an increase in utilities by $1,191,745, or 106.5%, period-on-period to $2,310,989 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, from $1,119,244 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 due to increased consumption of natural gas associated with the production of 8,973 additional tons of low carbon hard rolled steel period-on-period, and an increase in low consumables by $637,853, or 41.5%, period-on-period to $2,174,897 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, from $1,537,044 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008.

Selling Expenses.  Selling expenses increased by $1,147,396, or 236.6%, period-on-period, to $1,632,322 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the corresponding period in 2008 of $484,926. The increase was mainly attributable to increases in sales commission paid to export agents based on increased tonnage sold, and transportation and custom clearing charges in relation to our expanded export sales period-on-period. Our export precision products, the low carbon hard-rolled steel, accounted for $21,830,934, or 43.2%, of the sales mix for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $8,235,950, or 13.9% of sales during the nine months ended March 31, 2008.

Administrative Expenses.  Administrative expenses decreased by $450,360, or 22.2%, period-on-period, to $1,581,456 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $2,031,816 in the comparable period in 2008. This decrease was chiefly associated with lower SEC compliance costs and professional fees as there was no financing activity during the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and as we become more familiar with the rules and regulations as a listed company.

Income from Operations. Income from operations before income tax decreased by $15,845,399, or 116.8%, period-on-period to a loss of $2,284,153 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from income of $13,561,246 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, as a result of the worldwide economic downturn and slowing demands which have affected both sales revenue and margins. Also, the net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 included an allowance for bad and doubtful debts in the amount of $3,830,134 due to a dispute over services rendered by the Company.

Other income.  Our other income decreased $609,047, or 64.4%, to $336,257 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from $945,304 for the same period in 2008.  As a percentage of revenues, other income decreased to 0.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from 1.6% for the same period in 2008. Such percentage decrease in interest income was primarily due to lower cash balances and a decrease of the interest rate period-on-period.

Interest Expense.  Total interest expense decreased $269,559, or 22.9%, to $905,305 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, from $1,174,864 for the same period in 2008 due to lower loan balances and a lower weighted average interest rate during 2009 as compared to 2008.

Income Tax. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, we recognized income tax expense of $333,547, while for the same period in 2008, we recognized an income tax expense of $596,189. The decrease in income tax expenses mainly resulted from the reversal of provision for current income tax expense in relation to the bad debt written off during the nine months ended March 31, 2009.

Net Income. Net income decreased by $15,582,757, or 120.2%, period-on-period to a loss of $2,617,700 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, from income $12,965,057 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, as a result of the factors above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our business is capital intensive and requires substantial expenditures for, among other things, the purchase and maintenance of equipment used in our operations.  Our short-term and long-term liquidity needs arise primarily from capital expenditures, working capital requirements and principal and interest payments related to our outstanding short-term loans. We have met these liquidity requirements with cash provided by operations, equity financing, and bank debt. As of March 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5.6 million.

The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statement periods presented in this report:

CASH FLOW

	Nine Months  Ended March 31,
	2009			2008
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	12,196,281		$	(25,187,216	)
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(25,489,763	)	$	(7,512,290	)
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	182,184		$	39,637,674
Net cash flow	$	(12,999,036	)	$	8,790,641

Operating Activities.  Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was $12,196,281 as compared with $25,187,216 used in operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, for a net increase of $37,383,497. This increase was mainly due to a substantial increase in cash flows from accounts receivable of $37,428,396 due to strengthened collection activities during the period and as Days Sales Outstanding decreased from 115.9 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 to 112.3 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, offset by decreases from inventories purchases, accounts payable and advances from customers during the nine months ended March 31, 2009.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, sales revenues generated from the top five major customers as a percentage of total sales decreased to 51% as compared to 65% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The loss of all or portion of the sales volume from a significant customer would have an adverse effect on our operating cash flows.

Investing Activities. Our main uses of cash for investing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2009 were for the purchase of property, plant and equipment related to the expansion of Shanghai Blessford facilities.  We believe these capital investments increase our capacity, expand product line and improve product qualities, thereby creating opportunities to grow sales, enter new markets and further strengthen our leading position in the niche cold rolling segment that we operate in.

Net cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was $25, 489,763 as compared with $7,512,290 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in investing activity was due to payment of a construction project related to the new 1450mm cold rolling mill and deposit made relating to the construction of annealing furnaces at Shanghai Blessford production facilities during the nine months ended March 31, 2009.

As of March 31, 2009, the Company had $2,495,610 in commitments for capital expenditures for contractual commitments of the construction projects related to the new 1450mm cold-rolling mill and annealing furnaces. Management believes that we currently have sufficient capital resources to meet these contractual commitments and are in the process of constructing the 1450mm mill.

Financing Activities.  Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, was $182,184 as compared with $39,637,674 provided by financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. During the nine months ended March 31, 2009, the Company received $269,985 in net proceeds from the exercise of warrants, which was partially offset by repayment of short-term loans in the amount of $87,801. The nine months ended March 31, 2008 reflect net proceeds of approximately $44 million from an offering of the Company’s common stock, and repayment and renewing of short-term loans which offset each other.

33

On December 30, 2008, we filed a universal shelf registration statement with the SEC. The shelf registration, when declared effective, will permit us to issue securities valued at up to an aggregate of $40 million. Once effective, we will have the flexibility to issue registered securities, from time to time, in one or more separate offerings or other transactions with the size, price and terms to be determined at the time of issuance.  Although we do not have any commitments or current intentions to sell securities under the registration statement, we believe that it is prudent to have a shelf registration statement in place to ensure financing flexibility should the need arise.

Current Assets. Current assets decreased by $30,770,717, or 28.5%, period-on-period to $77,363,205 as of March 31, 2009, from $108,133,922 as of June 30, 2008, principally as a result of decreases in accounts receivable of $12,753,928, or 37.8%, period-on-period, cash and equivalents by $12,999,036, or 70.0%, period-on-period, and bills receivable of $2,021,012, or 46.9%, period on period, offset by an increase in inventories of $4,790,952 or 26.9% period on period. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is mainly attributable to payment of construction cost of the third 1450mm rolling mill during the nine months ended March 31, 2009.

Current Liabilities. Current liabilities decreased by $5,916,346, or 13.1%, period-on-period to $39,313,056 as of March 31, 2009, from $45,229,402 as of June 30, 2008. The decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in advances from customers of $3,415,133, or 48.8%, period-on-period, and a decrease in accounts payable of $2,024,462, or 16.8%, period-on-period.

As of March 31, 2009, we had $17,430,904 in short term bank debt. This bank debt is due in July 2009 and we expect to refinance such debt at its maturity, but we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so on terms favorable to the Company or at all.

Capital Expenditures. During the nine months ended March 31, 2009, we invested $24,703,120 in purchases of property, plant and equipment, and construction projects related to the new 1450mm cold-rolling mill and annealing furnaces.

Loan Facilities.  The following table illustrates our credit facilities as of March 31, 2009, providing the name of the lender, the amount of the facility, the date of issuance and the maturity date:

All amounts in U.S. dollars

Lender	Date of Loan	Maturity Date	Duration	Interest Rate	Principal Amount
Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich AG	July 23, 2008	July 31, 2009	1 year	USD: SIBOR + 3%; RMB: 1.13 times of the PBOC rate	$	5,300,000; $2,902,130 (RMB20,000,000)
Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich AG	July 20, 2008	July 31, 2009	1 year	1.15 times of the PBOC rate	$	9,228,774 (RMB63,600,000)
Total					$	17,430,904

As of March 31, 2009, we had $17,430,904 in short term bank debt as illustrated in the above table. Such debt is secured by land use rights, buildings, plant and machinery.  

We are not aware of any existing issues that may lead to a withdrawal of the current bank debt that is due and renewable in July 2009, our inability to renew, and the unavailability of additional debt financing as a result of economic pressures on the credit and equity markets could have a material adverse effect on our business operations.

34

We believe that our currently available working capital and the credit facilities referred to above should be adequate to sustain our operations at our current levels and support our contractual commitments through the next twelve months. However, our working capital requirements and the cash flow provided by future operating activities vary from quarter to quarter, depending on the volume of business during the period and payment terms with our customers. As we expect a continuation of weak demand and volatility in both domestic and international markets in the foreseeable future, especially the higher margin low carbon cold rolled exported products and the high carbon cold rolled products that are sold to the auto industry, our operating cash flows might be significantly negatively impacted by such reduced sales and margins. Management has strengthened its sales and marketing activities, and continues to be in talks with potential customers whose past orders we had been unable to fill due to full capacity, which if successful, could result in additional sales and mitigate the impact of the weakened demand and margins on our operating cash flow. As of March 31, 2009, the Company also had $2,495,610 in contractual commitments for capital expenditures related to the expansion of our production facilities. As such, we may need to rely on access to the financial markets to provide us with significant discretionary funding capacity. However, the current uncertainty arising out of domestic and global economic conditions, including the recent disruption in credit markets, poses a risk to the economies in which we operate and may adversely impact our potential sources of capital financing. The general unavailability of credit could make capital financing more expensive for us or impossible altogether. Even if we are able to obtain credit, the incurrence of indebtedness could result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that could restrict our present and future operations.

Obligations under Material Contracts

Below is a table setting forth our material contractual obligations as of March 31, 2009:

	At March 31, 2009 Payments Due By Period
	Total		Fiscal Year 2009		Fiscal Years 2010-2011		Fiscal Years 2012-2013		Fiscal Year 2014and Beyond

In October 2004, Tuorong agreed to purchase a land use right from the Shanghai Labor and Economic Development Council with respect to a 20-acre parcel, for a lease period of 50 years, at a cost of $472,441. Additionally in November 2005, Chengtong agreed to purchase a land use right from the Shanghai Xuhang Industrial Development Co., Ltd. with respect to a 27.04-acre parcel, for a lease period of 50 years, at a cost of $497,795. In November 2006, Chengtong entered into an agreement with the Shanghai Labor and Economic Development Council, which supersedes the aforementioned Tuorong agreement, to purchase a total of 21.34-acre parcel for a lease period of 50 years at an aggregate amount of $672,126. In December 2006, Tuorong entered into a Compensation Agreement with the Shanghai Jiading Housing, Land and Resource Management Bureau to pay an aggregate amount of $637,294 in connection to the two aforementioned parcels. During the nine months ended March 31, 2009, additional payment in the amount of $717,842 has been made in relation to the abovementioned agreements and land use right.

As of March 31, 2009, the Company also had $2,495,610 in commitments for capital expenditures for contractual commitments of the construction projects related to expansion of Shanghai Blessford’s production facilities. We believe this capital investment increases our capacity, expand our product line, and thereby creating new opportunities to grow sales.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) will change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS No. 141(R), an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141(R) will change the accounting treatment and disclosure for certain specific items in a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) 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. SFAS No. 141(R) will impact the Company in the event of any future acquisition.

35

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe that SFAS No. 160 will have a material impact on its consolidated 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 No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The guidance in SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not impact our consolidated financial statements in any material respect.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FAS 142-3”), which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”).  The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations,” and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  This FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (the Company’s fiscal year 2010), and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company does not believe the adoption of FSP 142-3 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. 

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" (“SFAS No. 162”).  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 non-governmental entities that are presented in conformity with US GAAP. The provisions of SFAS No. 162 become effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the amendment to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Presents Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.  The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts” (FASB No. 163”). The new standard clarifies how FASB Statement No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises”, applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. It also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. FASB No. 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years, except for disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities, which are effective the first period (including interim periods) beginning after May 23, 2008. Except for the required disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The standard is not applicable to this Company.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FAS 157-3”). This FSP clarifies the application of FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance. The adoption of FAS 157-3 did not impact our consolidated financial statements in any material respect.

36

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132 (R) -1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 132 (revised 2003) ("FSP No. 132 (R) -1"). It provides guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets, including: how investment allocation decisions are made and factors that are pertinent to an understanding of investment policies and strategies; the major categories of plan assets; the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets; the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3) on changes in plan assets for the period, and significant concentrations of risks within plan assets. FSP 132 (R) -1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of this standard may have on our financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.  It requires the fair value for all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ("SFAS No. 107"), to be disclosed in the interim periods as well as in annual financial statements.  This standard is effective for the quarter ending after June 15, 2009.  We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of this standard may have on our financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. It clarifies the objective and method of fair value measurement even when there has been a significant decrease in market activity for the asset being measured. This standard is effective for the quarter ending after June 15, 2009. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of this standard may have on our financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. The objective of an other-than-temporary impairment analysis under existing U.S. GAAP is to determine whether the holder of an investment in a debt or equity security for which changes in fair value are not regularly recognized in earnings (such as securities classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale) should recognize a loss in earnings when the investment is impaired. An investment is impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost basis. This FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of this standard may have on our financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require the more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of financial statements, including the following:

· Accounts Receivable – The Company provides credit in the normal course of business.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its domestic and international customers and clients and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The allowances for our domestic and international sales are both based on an analysis of past collection experience, recognizing the differences between payers and aging of accounts receivable, and making allowances for certain customers, such as a longer credit period for a recurring customer with good credit history. At March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, the Company had $1,036,609 and $1,033,479 of allowances for doubtful accounts, respectively. Our allowance for doubtful accounts is a subjective critical estimate that has a direct impact on reported net earnings, and it is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance will change. These estimates have been relatively accurate in the past and there has been no need to revise such estimates. However, we will review such estimates more frequently when needed, such as now during the global credit crisis, and make revisions if necessary. The continuation or intensification of the current global economic crisis and turmoil in the global financial markets may have negative consequences for the business operations of our customers and adversely impact their ability to meet their obligations to us. A significant change in our collection experience, deterioration in the aging of receivables and collection difficulties could require that we increase our estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Any such additional bad debt charges could materially and adversely affect our future operating results.

37

· Functional Currency and Translating Financial Statements – The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our functional currency is Chinese Renminbi; however, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are expressed in USD. The consolidated balance sheets have been translated into USD at the exchange rates prevailing at each balance sheet date. The consolidated statements of operations and cash flows have been translated using the weighted-average exchange rates prevailing during the periods of each statement.

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

· Advances to Suppliers - In order to secure a steady supply of raw materials, the Company is required from time to time to make cash advances when placing its purchase orders. Cash advances are shown net of allowances of $2,530,479 and $2,522,837 at March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively. The Company created these reserves against advances to suppliers for goods ordered and not received within one year of the date the advance payment was made. Two of the Company’s major long-term suppliers, who each represent 33% and 27% of advance to suppliers for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, respectively, have advised the management that they are committed to delivering the contracted raw materials in accordance with the terms of their supply contracts. Management expects to receive these raw materials in the next 6 months.

· Intangible Assets -   Intangible assets represent land use rights in China acquired by the Company and are stated at cost less amortization. Amortization of land-use rights is calculated on the straight-line method, based on the period over which the right is granted by the relevant authorities in China. The Company acquired land use rights in August 2004 and December 2006 for 50 years that expire in August 2054 and December 2056 respectively. The land use rights are amortized over a fifty-year term. An amortization amount of approximately $35,000 is to be recorded each year starting from the current financial year ending June 30, 2009 for the remaining lease period.  Intangible assets of the Company are reviewed annually, or more frequently if there are triggering events, to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired, in conformity with SFAS No. 142 and SFAS No. 144,. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. The recent decline in our market capitalization and stock price has triggered an interim impairment test under SFAS No. 144 as of March 31, 2009.  An impairment test was performed as of March 31, 2009 and no impairment charges were recognized for the relevant periods. As of March 31, 2009, the Company expects these assets to be fully recoverable. Goodwill amounting to $99,999 as at March 31, 2009 was considered immaterial and not tested for impairment.

· Property, Plant and Equipment - Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and location for its intended use.  Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets for financial reporting purposes. The estimated useful lives for significant property and equipment are as follows:

38

Buildings	10 years
Office equipment	5 years
Motor vehicles	5 years
Plant and machinery	10 years

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

Property, plant and equipment are evaluated annually for any impairment in value, or more frequently if there are triggering events. Where the recoverable amount of any property and equipment is determined to have declined below its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to reflect the decline in value. The recent decline in our market capitalization and stock price has triggered an interim impairment test under SFAS No. 144 as of March 31, 2009.  No impairment charges were recognized for the relevant periods.

· Other Policies – Other accounting policies used by the Company are set forth in the notes accompanying our financial statements.

Seasonality

Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have been subject to seasonal variations. Our revenues are usually higher in the second half of the year than in the first half of the year and the first quarter is usually the slowest quarter because fewer projects are undertaken during and around the Chinese New Year holidays.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We have exposure to several types of market risk: changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. We neither hold nor issue financial instruments for trading purposes nor do we make use of derivative instruments to hedge the risks discussed below.

The following sections provide quantitative information on our exposure to market risks. Our use of sensitivity analyses are inherently limited in estimating actual losses in fair value that can occur from changes in market conditions.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

The Group collects revenues from operations principally in the Chinese Renminbi. Except for export contracts denominated in US dollars, all of our sales revenues are collected in and substantially all of our expenses are paid in the Chinese Renminbi. We face foreign currency rate translation risk when our results are translated to U.S. Dollars, as well as foreign currency rate transaction risk with respect to sales outside of China and with respect to financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies. Our results of operations denominated in foreign currency are translated at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the market rate of exchange ruling at that date. The registered equity capital denominated in the functional currency is translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of capital contribution.

39

The Chinese Renminbi had remained stable against the U.S. Dollar at approximately 8.28 Yuan to 1.00 U.S. Dollar for several years and it was not until July 21, 2005 that the Chinese currency regime was altered, with a 2.1% revaluation versus the United States Dollar. This move initially valued the Renminbi at 8.11 per United States Dollar. In addition, the Renminbi is no longer linked to the U.S. currency but rather to a basket of currencies with a 0.3% margin of fluctuation. However, there remains international pressure on the Chinese government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy and as of March 31, 2009 the exchange rate was 6.8336 Yuan to 1.00 U.S. Dollar. The exchange rate of Renminbi is subject to changes in China’s government policies which are, to a large extent, dependent on the economic and political development both internationally and locally and the demand and supply of Renminbi in the domestic market. There can be no assurance that such exchange rate will continue to remain stable in the future amongst the volatility of currencies, globalization and the unstable economies in recent years. Since (i) our income and profit are mainly denominated in Renminbi, and (ii) the payment of dividends will be in U.S. dollars, if any, any exchange fluctuation of the Renminbi against other foreign currencies would adversely affect the value of the shares and dividends payable to shareholders, in foreign currency terms.

At March 31, 2009, the Group’s outstanding financial instruments with foreign currency exchange rate risk exposure had an aggregate fair value of $17 million (including the Group’s non-U.S. dollar denominated debt). The potential increase in the fair values of these instruments resulting from a 10% adverse change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates would be approximately $1.7 million at March 31, 2009.

Interest Rates

The Group is subject to interest rate risk on its non-derivative financial instruments. The Group does not hedge its interest rate risk. At March 31, 2009, the Group’s total bank debt outstanding was $17,430,904, all of which was interest-bearing. Substantially all of the bank debt was floating-rate debt with interest rates which vary with changes in the standard rate set by the People’s Bank of China. A change in the interest rate or yield of fixed rate debt will only impact the fair value of such debt, while a change in the interest rate of floating rate, or variable rate, debt will impact interest expense as well as the amount of cash required to service such debt. To the extent interest rates increase, we will be liable for higher interest payments to our lenders. For the current financial year, annual interest on loans is anticipated to be approximately $0.9 million. The impact of a 1% increase in interest rates will increase interest expense by approximately $175,000. As our short-term borrowings mature, we will be required to either repay or refinance these borrowings. An increase in short-term interest rates at the time that we seek to refinance short-term borrowings may increase the cost of borrowings, which may adversely affect our earnings and cash available for distribution to its shareholders.

At March 31, 2009, the aggregate fair value of the Group’s financial instruments with exposure to interest rate risk was approximately $17 million. The potential change in fair value for these financial instruments from an adverse 10% change in quoted interest rates across all maturities, often referred to as a parallel shift in the yield curve, would be approximately $0.2 million at March 31, 2009.

Commodity Prices

The steel coils and other raw materials used by Chengtong, require large amounts of raw materials - iron ore or other iron containing material, steel scrap, coke and coal - as well as large amounts of energy to produce. Additionally, we also use large amounts of energy in our operations. Over the last several years, prices for raw materials and energy, in particular natural gas and oil, have increased significantly. In many cases these price increases have been at a greater percentage than price increases for the sale of steel products.

The Group has no open derivative commodity instruments as of March 31, 2009 and does not currently hedge its exposure to price fluctuations in the raw materials and energy required for the manufacture of its products.

Inflation

Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our product and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results.  We generally manufacture our products to match orders from our customers. Due to the specialized nature of our products, we are able to purchase raw materials based upon customer orders. This operating model allows us to effectively pass along fluctuations in the price of raw materials to our customers. For commonly used raw materials, we purchase larger quantities when we believe prices are likely to increase in the short term in order to minimize the impact of any such price increase.

40

Although we believe that inflation has not had a material effect on our results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to effectively pass along fluctuations to our customers and our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues.

ITEMS 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). 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.  

As required by Rule 13a-15(e), our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of Wo Hing Li, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Leada Tak Tai Li, our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of March 31, 2009. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, Mr. Li and Ms. Li, determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
