CHINA GREEN MATERIAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2009
1. GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Principal Activities
China Green Material Technologies, Inc. is a Nevada corporation incorporated in December 1997 under the name Mount Merlot Estates, Inc. When we acquired our current business in February 2007, our corporate name was “Ubrandit.com.” On January 14, 2008, we changed our name to “China Green Material Technologies, Inc.” References in these Notes to the “Company” refer to China Green Material Technologies, Inc. and where applicable its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company’s shares are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., under the symbol CAGM.OB, whereas before its name change in January 2008 the Company’s shares were qu oted under the symbol UBDT.OB.
On February 9, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Advanced Green Materials, Inc. (“AGM”), a Nevada corporation, by merging a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company into AGM. Through AGM, the Company indirectly owns all of the outstanding capital stock of ChangFangYuan Hi-tech Environment-Friendly Industrial Co., Ltd. (“CHFY”), a corporation organized under the laws of the People Republic of China (“China” or the “PRC”). AGM has substantially no operations and substantially no assets other than the shares of CHFY and Zhonghao Bio (as defined below). Through CHFY, the Company operates the business described in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2010, and in the financia l statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The Company’s acquisition of AGM and CHFY is sometimes herein referred to as the “2007 Business Combination.” Immediately before the 2007 Business Combination, the Company had no material assets and no material operations and therefore it was considered a “shell company” (as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). As consideration for AGM and CHFY, the Company issued to the former owners of AGM shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that were convertible into approximately 98% of the Company’s outstanding common shares, on a post-conversion basis.
On January 14, 2008, concurrent with our name change, the Company effected a 1-for-150 reverse split of our common stock. In connection with the split, the Company issued additional shares to certain shareholders so that, after the split, no shareholder owned fewer than 100 shares. On February 29, 2008, the holders of all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock converted their preferred shares into 18,150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and all shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were cancelled.
CHFY was incorporated in the Heilongjiang Province of China on May 12, 1999. It was known as Harbin TianHao Technology Co., Ltd., and changed its name to Harbin ChangFangYuan Hi-Tech Industrial Co., Ltd. on September 28, 2004, and further changed its name to Harbin ChangFangYuan Hi-Tech Environment-Friendly Industry Co., Ltd. on September 1, 2006. AGM acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of CHFY on August 18, 2006.
Prior to May 2006, CHFY engaged only in product development and the establishment of manufacturing facilities and marketing relationships. CHFY’s business realized its first revenue in May 2006.
On June 25, 2010, AGM completed the incorporation of a wholly owned subsidiary, Heilongjiang Zhonghao Starch-Based Biodegradable Materials Co., Ltd. (“Zhonghao Bio”) with registered capital of US$2.8 million in the Heilongjiang Province of China. Through Zhonghao Bio, the Company will own our proposed new manufacturing facility to be located in Harbin Economic Technological Development Zone, which will commence the business of manufacturing facilities, development, marketing and production of high-end quality biodegradable packaging materials.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“Interim Financial Statements”) of the Company and its subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of America, or US GAAP, for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these Interim Financial Statements do not include all the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. These Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2009. In the opinion of management, the Interim Financial Statements included herein contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations and cash flows of the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying Interim Financial Statements present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling voting interest. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of China Green Material Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries AGM, CHFY, and Zhonghao Bio. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying Interim Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP. This basis of accounting differs from that used in the statutory accounts of some of the Company’s subsidiaries, which were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises with foreign investment in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”). Necessary adjustments were made to the subsidiaries’ statutory accounts to conform to US GAAP to be included in these Interim Financial Statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Cash and Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are recognized and carried at original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated losses that will be incurred in the collection of all receivables. The estimated losses are based on a review of the current status of the existing receivables.
Inventories
The Company values inventories, consisting of finished goods, work in progress, raw materials, and packaging material and other items, at the lower of cost or market. Cost of raw materials is determined on a first-in, first-out basis (“FIFO”). The cost of finished goods is determined on a weight average first-in, first out basis and comprises direct materials, direct labor, and an appropriate proportion of overhead.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the useful lives of the assets. Upon sale or retirement of plant and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
6
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its other long-lived assets, including amortizing intangible assets, if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred pursuant to U.S. Accounting Standards Codification topic #360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”). This analysis is performed by comparing the respective carrying values of the assets to the current and expected future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, to be generated from such assets. If such analysis indicates that the carrying value of these assets is not recoverable, the carrying value of such assets is reduced to fair value through a charge to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
Intangible Assets
At September 30, 2010 (unaudited) and December 31, 2009, intangible assets consist of a land use right. With the adoption of ASC 350 (“Intangibles-Goodwill and Other”), intangible assets with a definite life are amortized on a straight-line basis. The land use right is amortized over its estimated life of 50 years.
Intangible assets with a definite life are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that a carrying amount of an asset (asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows used in determining the fair value of the asset. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. Costs related to internally develop intangible assets are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determined, collection is reasonably assured and delivery of products has occurred or services have been rendered. Revenue includes sales of products and services. Products revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold recognized upon the delivery of goods to customers, net of allowance for estimated returns, when both title and risk of loss transfer to the customer, provided that no significant obligations remain. Deferred revenue represents the undelivered portion of invoiced value of goods sold to customers. Service income is recognized when services are provided. Revenue does not include value added taxes (“VAT”) for the sales revenue from PRC subsidiaries. B efore paid to the government, the amounts of VAT are recorded as short term liabilities.
Rental income recognition
Rental income from operating leases related to our unused factory facilities with 21,132 square meters of floor space is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease period. The Company recognized $66,460 and $109,797 of gross rental income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and recognized $198,325 and $329,316 of gross rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Research and development costs
Research and development cost is charged to operations when incurred and is included in operating expenses. Research and development cost was immaterial for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
Advertising and marketing costs
Advertising and marketing costs, except for costs associated with direct-response advertising and marketing, are charged to operations when incurred. The costs of direct-response advertising are capitalized and amortized over the period during which future benefits are expected to be received. Advertising and marketing expense were $3,238 and $50,866 for three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and were $28,593 and $93,511 for nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Share-Based Payments
The Company adopted ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC No. 718”) effective January 1, 2006. ASC No. 718 amends existing accounting pronouncements for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee and certain non-employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. ASC No.718 generally requires such transactions to be accounted for using a fair-value-based method.
7
Income Taxes
The Company’s PRC subsidiary files income tax returns under the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and local income tax laws.
The Company follows the method of accounting for income taxes prescribed by ASC 740 –”Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Comprehensive Income
ASC 220, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, established standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances in a full set of general purpose financial statements. ASC 220 defines comprehensive income to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, ASC 220 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company’s only current component of comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Renminbi ("RMB"), the national currency of the PRC, is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the operations of CHFY and Zhonghao Bio are conducted. The Company uses the United States Dollar ("U.S. Dollars") for financial reporting purposes.
In accordance with ASC No. 830, “Foreign Currency Matters,” the Company’s results of operations and cash flows are translated at the average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates, and equity is translated at the historical exchange rates. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets.
Basic and diluted net income per share
The Company accounts for net income per common share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“EPS”). ASC 260 requires the disclosure of the potential dilution effect of exercising or converting securities or other contracts involving the issuance of common stock. Basic net income per share is determined based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is determined based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised into common stock.
8
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and equivalents, which are invested in money market accounts, and accounts receivable. The Company considers the book value of these instruments to be indicative of their respective fair value. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions to limit its risk exposure. Most of the Company’s sales are credit sales which are primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in their respective areas; however, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited due to generally short payment terms. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
● | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
● | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
● | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On February 25, 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 Subsequent Events Topic 855 “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” effective immediately. The amendments in the ASU remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of US GAAP. The FASB believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the SEC’s literature. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On March 5, 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11 Derivatives and Hedging Topic 815 “Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives.” This ASU clarifies the guidance within the derivative literature that exempts certain credit related features from analysis as potential embedded derivatives requiring separate accounting. The ASU specifies that an embedded credit derivative feature related to the transfer of credit risk that is only in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another is not subject to bifurcation from a host contract under ASC 815-15-25, Derivatives and Hedging — Embedded Derivatives — Recognition. All other embedded credit derivative features should be analyzed to determine whether their economic characteristics and risks are “clearly and closely related” to t he economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and whether bifurcation is required. The ASU is effective for the Company on July 1, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB codified the consensus reached in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 08-09, “Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition.” FASB ASU No. 2010-17 provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research and development transactions. FASB ASU No. 2010 – 17 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved after the adoption date. The Company does not expect that this ASU will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations when it adopts this update on January 1, 2011.

Business Overview
We manufacture and sell starch-based biodegradable, disposable containers, tableware and packaging materials in China. In making the starch-based material for our products, we use proprietary manufacturing methods that reduce processing time. We market our products through our internal sales force located at our new manufacturing facility in the Harbin Economic and Technological Development Zone, located in Heilongjiang Province, China. Since the formation of our Company, we have sold our products in other foreign countries through distributors. In January 2009, we began to market and sell our products in other countries directly. We continually attempt to improve our products and production processes through research and development
Our starch-based material is potentially a substitute for the oil-based plastics used in a wide variety of products. We currently manufacture and sell food packaging products and disposable tableware consumer goods, and we are actively researching the introduction of additional product lines. We manufacture and sell biodegradable disposal tableware to consumers and food packaging products to manufacturers of retail frozen food items. We also manufacture and sell food and beverage containers and utensils made from our biodegradable material, including cups, plates and bowls. Within the area of food and beverage containers and utensils, we produce a “Go Home without Dish Washing” series, which is a traveling, picnic and outdoor series of tableware products.
We produce a starch-based material using corn starch as the principal ingredient, and we manufacture all our products using this starch-based material. Our starch-based material is non-toxic, harmless, fire-resistant, heat-resistant and odor-free, can be used in microwave ovens and retains its structural integrity at temperatures between -40°C and +150°C.
We utilize “dry-powder blending” technology in the production of the biodegradable, starch-based material used to manufacture products. At present, both in China and elsewhere, the formulation of starch-based biodegradable products often involves the use of liquid solvents to modify the property of starch through mixed liquid polymerization. We believe that our dry-powder blending technology helps us to reduce the time and, as a result, the cost to produce our material compared with production methods using liquid solvents.
Market Opportunity
We believe that, because of concerns over environmental safety, health and renewability of resources, there is an increasing demand worldwide for products made from materials other than oil-based plastics and paper products. We also believe that there is a growing trend for government incentives and restrictions favoring the use of alternatives to oil-based plastics and paper based products. For example, the Chinese government has deemed environmental protection an important national interest, and since 1996 has promulgated a series of laws aimed at increasing the use of biodegradable materials, including mandates for the use of recyclable materials in certain packaging and has severely limited the use of disposable polystyrene bags, cutlery and tableware. Our goal is to provide products that address th e opportunities created by these developments. Because our products are made from renewable ingredients and are biodegradable, we believe they are environmental friendly and consistent with the “4R” environmental goals of “Reduce,” “Recycle,” “Reuse”, and “Recover.” We focus our research and development efforts on improving our current lines of disposable consumer goods in the catering, frozen food and home and personal use areas, and on the development and introduction of new plastic replacement products.

Third Quarter Financial Performance Highlights
We continued to experience strong demand for our products during the third quarter of 2010, which resulted in continued growth in our revenues. Despite the overall economic uncertainties in the global economy, the starch-based biodegradable, disposable and compostable materials industry in China is still in the process of rapid and continuous development with the increase of awareness and demand for environmentally friendly containers, tableware and packaging materials by the Chinese government and public. This trend is supported by the favorable governmental policies in the biodegradable materials sector. We believe this trend will continue to result in the growth in sales of our products.
The following are some financial highlights for the third quarter of 2010:
. | Revenues – Revenues were $6.01 million for the third quarter of 2010, an increase of 43.6% from the comparable quarter of 2009, due to tonnage sold increase by 32.4% and average selling price increase by 8.5%. |
. | Gross Margin – Gross margin was 45.6% for the third quarter of 2010, as compared to 48.6% for the comparable quarter of 2009, due to increase in overall production costs by 14.6% mainly caused by increase in raw materials price, amortization costs for know-how, utilities and packaging costs.. |
. | Income from operations – Income from operations was $2.01 million for the third quarter of 2010, an increase of 13.9% from $1.76 million of the comparable quarter of 2009. |
. | Net Income – Net income was $1.69 million for the third quarter of 2010, an increase of 52.4% from the comparable quarter of 2009. |

Revenues - Revenues increased $1.83 million or 43.6% to $6.01 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $4.19 million for the comparable period in 2009. The increase was mainly attributable to the increased sales of our products which resulted from increased demand from our existing customers as well as new customers. We believe that such revenues increased as a result of growing recognition of our starch based biodegradable products and their environmental friendly advantages as well as the rapidly developing market opportunities in this sector in China. We continue our efforts to increase revenues by improving our marketing stra tegy, increasing our sales channels, increasing the geographical presence of our products within China and overseas and developing new biodegradable products. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the tonnage sold increased by 32.4% and average selling price increased by 8.5% as compared to the comparable period in 2009. .

Cost of Revenues - Cost of revenues increased $1.11 million or 51.8% to $3.27 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $2.15 million for the comparable period in 2009. This increase was mainly due to the increase in the costs of packaging and raw materials, which were in line with the increase in our revenues. As a percentage of revenues, the cost of revenues increased to 54.4% during the three months ended September 30, 2010 from 51.4% in the comparable period in 2009 due to the increase in raw materials price, depreciation charges for plant and equipment, amortization costs for know-how, utilities and packaging costs.
Gross Profit – Gross profit increased $0.71 million or 35.0% to $2.74 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $2.03 million for the comparable period in 2009. Gross profit as percentage of revenues was 45.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of 3.0% from 48.6% during the comparable period in 2009. The decrease in gross margin was mainly due to the increase in overall production costs by 14.6% which mainly caused by increase in raw material price, depreciation charges for plant and equipment, amortization costs for know-how, utilities and packaging costs for September 30, 2010 as compared to the corr esponding period in 2009.
Operating Expenses - Operating expenses including selling expenses and general and administrative expenses increased $0.47 million or 173.8% to $0.73 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $0.27 million during the comparable period in 2009. Although our revenues increased during the third quarter of 2010, selling expenses were relatively stable at $0.04 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and $0.08 million for the comparable period in 2009, due to closure of certain marketing representative offices. General and administrative expenses were $0.69 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $0.19 million for the comparable period i n 2009, an increase of $0.50 million or 266.9%. The increase was primarily due to increases in overall salary and related costs by $0.08 million, stock compensation costs of $0.23 million, IR and travelling expenses of $0.10 million and professional fees of $0.09 million incurred for proposed corporate exercise for the third quarter in 2010.
Other Income (Expense) Total other expenses were $0.03 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to total other expenses of $0.45 million for the comparable period of 2009, a decrease of expenses of $0.42 million. The decrease primarily resulted from a loss of $0.46 million on intangible assets written off for the period ended September 30, 2009.
Net Income Our net income was $1.69 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to net income of $1.11 million for the comparable period of 2009, an increase of $0.58 million or 52.4%. Net income as percentage to revenues was 28.1% for the third quarter of 2010 compared to 26.5% in the comparable period of 2009. This increase in net income and net income margin was primarily due to increase in revenues outrace the increase in cost of revenues and operating expenses for three months ended September 30, 2010.

Revenues - Revenues increased $3.44 million or 34.9% to $13.29 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $9.86 million for the comparable period in 2009. The increase was mainly attributable to the increased sales of our products which resulted from increased demand from our existing customers as well as new customers; they contributed 27.2% and 7.7%, of increase in revenues, respectively. We believe that such revenues increased as a result of growing recognition of our starch based biodegradable products, their environmentally friendly advantages and the rapidly developing market opportunities in this sector in China. We continue our efforts to increase revenues by improving our marketing strategy, increasing our sales channels, increasing the geographical presence of our products within China and overseas and developing new biodegradable products. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the tonnages sold increased by 29.5% and average selling price increased by 4.2% as compared to the comparable period in 2009.
Cost of Revenues - Cost of revenues increased $2.08 million or 40.7% to $7.18 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $5.11 million for the comparable period in 2009. This increase was mainly due to the increase in the costs of packaging and raw materials, which were generally in line with the increase in our revenues as well as amortization costs for know-how right. As a percentage of revenues, the cost of revenues increased to 54.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from 51.8% in the comparable period in 2009.

Gross profit as percentage of revenues was 46.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of 2.2% from 48.2% during the comparable period in 2009. The slight decline in gross margin was mainly due to the increase in overall production costs by 8.7% which mainly caused by increase in raw material price, depreciation charges for plant and equipment, amortization costs for know-how right, utilities and packaging costs in September 30, 2010 as compared to corresponding period in 2009.
Operating Expenses - Operating expenses including selling expenses and general and administrative expenses increased $1.22 million or 168.2% to $1.94 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $0.73 million during the comparable period in 2009. Although our revenues increased during the third quarter of 2010, selling expenses were relatively stable at approximately $0.13 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and $0.20 million for the comparable period in 2009, mainly due to closure of some marketing representative offices. General and administrative expenses were $1.81 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $0.53 million for the comparable period in 2009, an increase of approximately $1 .28 million or 242.4%. The increase was primarily due to increases in overall salary and related costs by $0.20 million, stock compensation costs of $0.70 million, Zhonghao Bio start-up costs of $0.02 million, IR and travelling expenses of $0.12 million and professional fees of $0.24 incurred for proposed and completed corporate exercise for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Other Income (Expense) Total other expenses were $0.53 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to other expenses of $0.44 million for the comparable period of 2009, an increase of expenses of $0.09 million or 21.0%. The increase primarily resulted from a loss on fixed assets disposal of $0.13 million, an impairment loss of $0.30 million from long-term investment of Longjun and loss from rental of $0.09 million in nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to intangible assets of $0.46 million written off in the corresponding period in 2009.
Net Income Our net income was $3.07 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to net income of $3.04 million for the comparable period of 2009, an increase of $0.03 million or 1.0%. Net income as percentage to revenues was 23.1% for the nine months of 2010 compared to 30.9% in the comparable period of 2009. This increase in net income and decrease in net income margin was primarily due to increased in raw materials price, packaging material costs, operating expenses, stock compensation costs, loss on disposal of fixed assets and impairment loss on investment in Longjun.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our operations were initially capitalized by the combination of cash, a manufacturing facility and intellectual property contributed to CHFY by our stockholders prior to 2008. Since that time to the extent our operations did not generate sufficient cash flow, we obtained the necessary additional liquidity from loans by our stockholders and management. During 2009 we repaid approximately $1 million of loans to one of the stockholders, and, as a result, as of September 30, 2010, we owed approximately $311,000 in related party debts. Because these loans are non-interest bearing, unsecured, and due on demand, we include them as current liabilities. We may make further repayments of these loans from time to time with cash we determine not necessary for the growth of our business.
23
As of September 30, 2010, we had working capital of $17.45 million. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 6.0:1. The working capital includes cash and equivalents of $10.75 million and net accounts receivable of $8.71 million. Most of our receivables are owed to us by our primary customers for products purchased from us, and we consider the receivables as collectible in the ordinary course. We expect to collect substantially all of the September 30, 2010 balance of receivables in the following six months.
The following is a summary of cash provided by or used in each of the indicated types of activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
Cash provided by (used in): | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
We incurred cash in-flow from our operations of $2.88 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This was primarily attributable to our net income and non-cash items adjustments for depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, impairment loss on long-term investment and loss on disposal of intangible assets..
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we had cash outflow of $7.76 million from investing activities. This was mainly attributable to $0.29 million renovation deposit to a supplier for the Company’s new manufacturing facility, which has a total contract value of $0.78 million or RMB 5,200,000, $7.56 million cash paid to purchase property, plant and equipment for the Company’s new manufacturing facility and offset by the cash proceeds of $0.12 million received from disposal of fixed assets in the nine months of 2010. While in the comparable period of 2009, we paid $64,384 for purchasing fixed assets.
We completed the purchase of our new manufacturing facility in July 2010, which is located in Harbin Economic and Technological Development Zone, located in Heilongjiang Province, China. The new manufacturing facility will increase our production capacity from existing 9,000 tones per annum to estimated 20,000 tones per annum by 2011. We intend to bring the facility on line in stages beginning in December 2010 with a production line having a capacity of 4,000 tons per year, bringing our total capacity to 13,000 tons per year by the end of 2010. When fully operational by the end of 2011, the new 11,000-ton facility will complement our existing 9,000-ton facility and will allow us to operate more efficiently and fill larger orders from our customers. Expenditures associated with the new facility accounted for substantially all of the cash flow in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We believe we will have sufficient cash to pay for the remaining capital commitments for this new facility from our existing resources.
We had cash inflows from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $8.11 million as compared to $1.01 million cash outflow from financing activities for the comparable period of 2009. The increase was mainly due to proceeds of $4.33 million and $2.8 million from the issuance of 5.05 million and 1.87 million shares of common stock in connection with the January 2010 Private Placement and June 2010 Private Placement, respectively, and $0.97 million of advance from third party to facilitate our purchase of the new manufacturing facility property in Harbin Economic Technological Development Zone.
We believe our current resources are sufficient to fund ongoing operations for the foreseeable future.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
In preparation of our Interim Financial Statements, we are required to formulate working policies regarding valuation of our assets and liabilities and to develop estimates of those values. In our preparation of the Interim Financial Statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, there was no estimate made which was (a) subject to a high degree of uncertainty, and (b) material to our results.
We made no material changes to our critical accounting policies in connection with the preparation of our Interim Financial Statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
