Description of Business
Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing USA, Inc. (“Worldwide” or “the Company”) is an international contract manufacturing and engineering firm using factories in China. Worldwide services customers primarily in Europe, South Korea for our solar modules and United States-based companies for their outsource of smaller and scale production orders for offshore production in China. From our inception in 1993 until 2005, we were strictly an intermediary or “middle man,” working with our customers and our subcontractors to assure that our customers received high quality components on a timely basis that fulfilled their specific needs. While we still subcontract a significant portion of our business, since 2005, we have begun the transition to becoming a direct contract manufacturer, operating several of our own factories. Recently, we announced the opening of two additional factories, allowing us to become a direct manufacturer for solar modules and for power supply units as described below.
In February of 2008, Worldwide established a solar division that focuses on photovoltaic module technology under the brand name of “AmeriSolar.” On February 25, 2008, the Company changed its name from Worldwide Manufacturing USA, Inc. to Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing USA, Inc. in order to reflect its expansion into the solar energy industry. The Company issued 300,000 restricted shares for the AmeriSolar brand name. Worldwide leased a 129,167 square foot facility in Ningbo, China. The lease term is from July 18, 2008 to July 17, 2013. This facility houses the production operations and R&D center for the Company’s solar division. Operations at this facility began during the first quarter of 2009.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
On October 14, 2008, Worldwide completed the acquisition of 55% of Shanghai De Hong Electric and Electronic Company Limited (“De Hong”) through acquiring 55% of the outstanding capital stock of De Hong, a China corporation, through Worldwide’s wholly owned subsidiary Intech Electro- Mechanical Products Co., Ltd., a Chinese corporation (“Intech”). The Company purchased Detron based on the fair value of its assets at the time of purchase.
The terms of the purchase Agreement stated that Worldwide will pay in cash consideration of approximately $1,000,000 dollars for 55% interest in DeHong. Intech paid first installment of $714,286 on behalf of Worldwide in September, 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, Worldwide paid back $714,286 to Intech and further paid $308,414 for the second installment and the total consideration of the purchase price was $1,022,700.
The Company funded the acquisition with some of the proceeds from its sale of 1,055,103 shares of its common stock for $4,747,970 which took place in June 2008. Shanghai De Hong Electric and Electronic Company is the holding company for the operating subsidiary Shanghai Intech -Detron Electronic Co. (“Detron”). Worldwide received 55% control of the operating subsidiary Shanghai Intech-Detron Electric and Electronic Company Limited (“Detron”). Detron is a power supply factory in Shanghai, China with designing and R & D. This was accounted for as a purchase of Detron, where Worldwide has operating control. The Company began to consolidate the operation of Detron into the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on October 1, 2008.
On August 15, 2008, Worldwide formed a new company called Nantong Ningbo Solar factory (“Ningbo Solar”), which is the solar energy research and development manufacturer. The Company established a factory to provide installation services to different solar project. The Company also acts as agent to import or export the products and services overseas. The Ningbo Solar factory began operations from the first quarter of 2009.
On November 14, 2005, Worldwide established a die-casting and machining factory through leasing an existing facility from a former supplier, and initially investing approximately $500,000 to upgrade the equipment and manufacturing buildings. In these transactions we acquired assets, the expertise of the employees, the managers of the factories, and a portion of the existing customers of those factories. In the third quarter of 2005, we also established an electronics manufacturing factory. As a result, these two continued factory operations and the recently announce new factories described above, as of December 31, 2008 we own and operate four factories that we now use for the manufacture of certain product lines that we historically had to subcontract, and we are using the services of approximately 40 subcontractors to manufacture those product lines for which we do not have our own manufacturing capabilities.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing USA, Inc., a Colorado corporation and a public company, its operating subsidiary, Worldwide USA, a California corporation, and six subsidiary companies, Shanghai Intech Electro-Mechanical Products Co., Ltd., Shanghai Intech Precision Mechanical Products Ltd., Shanghai Intech-Detron Electric and Electronic Company Limited, Ningbo Solar Factory, Nantong Solar Factory and Shanghai De Hong Electric and Electronic Company Limited, owned by Worldwide USA. In accordance with the FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, the Company also consolidates any variable interest entities (VIEs), of which it is the primary beneficiary, as defined. The Company does not have any VIEs that need to be consolidated. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity, but exerts a significant influence over the entity, the Company applies the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 160 “Non-Controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements” on January 1, 2009, whereby Non-Controlling Interest (particularity identified as minority interest is reclassified to Shareholder equity. The Company’s presentation in the accompanying Consolidated balance sheet has $748,775 and $612,639 in Non-Controlling interest as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 respectively, due to the consolidation of certain Non-Wholly owned subsidiaries.
Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivables are recorded at the invoice amount and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on trade account receivables are included in net cash provided by operations activities in the consolidated cash flow statements. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance management considers historical losses, current receivables aging reports and existing industry and PRC economic data. The Company reviews its allowances every month. Past due invoices over 90 days and over specific amounts are reviewed individually for collectability. Account receivables are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and potential for recovery is considered remote. At June 30, 2009 an allowance of $272,000 for doubtful accounts was recorded based on the procedures above. In the period ending June 30, 2008 for both the three and six month period there was a credit for bad debt of $20,000. The Company does not have any off balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
Property and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related asset type using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and the costs of additions and betterments that increase the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. When property or equipment is disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The estimated service lives of property and equipment are as follows:
| |
Buildings and leasehold improvements | 7 to 40 years |
Machinery and equipment | 5 years |
Transportation vehicles | 5 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 7 years |
Computers and computer software | 3 years |
Accounting for acquisitions requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase.
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, at which time depreciation will commence. As of June 30, 2009, the Company has incurred and capitalized into construction-in-progress $439,710 of its construction costs. This construction in progress is for the building of a new solar factory which will be approximately 128,000 square feet. The Company had no capitalized interest and funded this construction through operations without the use of outside financing. The estimated cost to be incurred in 2009 to complete the project is approximately $2,750,000.
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. As of June 30, 2009, management has determined there is no such impairment on Long-Lived assets. However, there can be no assurance that demand for the Company’s products or services will continue, which could result in an impairment of Long-Lived assets in the future.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market and consist of materials, labor and overhead. The Company determines the cost of inventory by the first-in, first-out method. The Company evaluates inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation includes analyses of sales levels by product and projections of future demand. In order to state the inventory at lower of cost or market, the Company maintains reserves against its inventory. If future demand or market conditions are less favorable than the Company’s projections, a write-down of inventory may be required, and would be reflected in cost of goods sold in the period the revision is made. Inventories consist of raw material, work in progress and finished goods of manufactured products.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104 “Revenue Recognition”. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when the orders are completed and shipped, provided that collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Amounts billed to customers are recorded as sales while the shipping costs are included in cost of sales. Returns on defective custom parts may only be exchanged for replacement parts within 30 days of the invoice date. Returns on defective catalogue parts, which can be resold, may be exchanged for replacement parts or for a refund. Revenue from non-refundable customer tooling deposits is recognized when the materials are shipped or when the deposit is forfeited, whichever is earlier.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. A substantial amount of the Company’s cash is held in bank accounts in the People’s Republic of China and is not protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance or any other similar insurance. Accounts held at U.S. financial institutions are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000. As of June 30, 2009 the Company’s cash balance held at U.S banks was $2,008,897, which was $1,758,897 in excess of the insured amounts. Given the current economic environment and the financial conditions of the banking industry there is a risk that deposits may not be readily available or covered by such insurance. The Company has had no loss on excess cash in banks in past years.
Income tax
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and China. Significant judgment is required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109), and prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. We do not have any material uncertain tax positions regarding disclosure pursuant to FIN 48.
Taxation on profits earned in the PRC has been calculated on the estimated assessable profits for the year at rates of taxation prevailing in the PRC in which the Company operates.
The Company accounts for income tax under the provisions of SFAS 109 Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of the events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences between tax and financial statements bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established against net deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities have historically and in the current period been minimal.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The Company does not accrued United States income tax on unremitted earning from foreign operations, as it is the Company’s intention to invest these earning in the foreign operations indefinitely.
Under the Provisional Regulations of The People’s Republic of China Concerning Income Tax on Enterprises promulgated by the State Council which came into effect on January 1, 1994, income tax is payable by a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprises at a rate of 15% of their taxable income. Preferential tax treatment may, however, be granted pursuant to any law or regulations from time to time promulgated by the State Council. On March 16, 2007, The People’s Republic of China enacted a new Enterprise Income Tax Law for the purpose of unifying the tax treatment of domestic and foreign enterprises. This new law eliminates the preferential tax treatment for new Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprises but allows previously granted exemptions to stay in place through 2012, with the exception that the statutory tax rate will increase by 2% per year from 15% in 2006 to 25% by 2012. The Company did not have any subsidiaries that qualified for any preferred tax treatment.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase businesses combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step test. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Fair value of the reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed.
The Company performs its annual impairment review of goodwill in December, and when a triggering event occurs between annual impairment tests. The Company recorded no impairment loss for December 31, 2008 or for the period ending June 30, 2009.
Non-Cash Equity Transactions
Shares of equity instruments issued for non-cash consideration are recorded at the fair value of the consideration received based on the market value of services to be rendered, or at the value of the stock given, considered in reference to contemporaneous cash sale of stock.
Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The more significant estimates and assumptions
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
by management include among others: useful lives and residual values of fixed assets, fair market values of inventory, and goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
The Company’s principal country of operations is The People’s Republic of China. The financial position and results of operations of the Company are determined using the local currency (“Renminbi” or “Yuan”) as the functional currency. The 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 exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet 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 a separate component within stockholders’ equity. Translation adjustments net of tax totaled $86,621 and $146,017, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $107,656 and $244,440, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, the exchange rate was 6.8448 Yuan and 6.8718 Yuan per U.S. Dollar, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. SFAS No. 107 requires all entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. SFAS No. 107 defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 the fair value of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, commercial notes payable, lines of credit and accrued expenses approximated carrying value due to the short maturity of the instruments, quoted market prices, or interest rates, which fluctuate with market rates.
Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework, and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements required by existing accounting pronouncements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The Company adopted FAS 157 on January 1, 2008.
On January 1, 2009 the Company adopted FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis as permitted by, which provided a deferral of such provisions until 2009. The adoption of FAS157-2 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. The Company had no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. The Company’s had no financial assets and/or liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2009.
The availability of inputs observable in the market varies from instrument to instrument and depends on a variety of factors including the type of instrument, whether the instrument is actively traded, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. For many financial instruments, pricing inputs are readily observable in the market, the valuation methodology used is widely accepted by market participants, and the valuation does not require significant management discretion. For other financial instruments, pricing inputs are less observable in the market and may require management judgment.
Basic and diluted earnings per share
The Company reports basic earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The weighted average number of shares of the Company represents the common stock outstanding during the reporting periods.
Diluted earning per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options are assumed to be exercised at the time of issuance, and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
Basic and diluted earnings per share are the same as there was no dilutive effect of the warrants and stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
All of the Company’s manufacturing is located in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully continue to manufacture its products and failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Also, the success of the Company’s operations is subject to numerous contingencies, some of which are beyond management’s control. These contingencies include general economic conditions, price of raw material, competition, governmental and political conditions, and changes in regulations. Because the Company is dependant on foreign trade in PRC, the Company is subject to various additional political, economic and other uncertainties. Among other risks, the Company’s operations will be subject to risk of restrictions on transfer of funds, domestic and international customs, changing taxation policies, foreign exchange restrictions, and political and governmental regulations.
The Company operates in China, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility of foreign exchange rates between U.S. dollars and the Chinese currency RMB.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
At June 30, 2009, one customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable, with total amounts of $2,727,733, representing 30% of total accounts receivable in aggregate. At June 30, 2008, one customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable, with total amounts of $2,539,464, representing 62% of total accounts receivable in aggregate.
The Company did not have concentration of business with suppliers constituting greater than 10% of the Company’s gross sales during 2009 and 2008.
Payments of dividends may be subject to some restrictions due to the fact that the operating activities are conducted in subsidiaries residing in the Peoples Republic of China.
As of June 30, 2009 and 2008 67.5% and 47% of the Company's business was in the renewable energy industry.
As part of the production process, the Company may be required by its suppliers to advance funds under short-term agreements for tooling and other pre-production costs. The loans are generally unsecured and may carry interest at the prevailing market rate for short-term instruments. Such tooling is in most cases owned by the suppliers, and is a value primarily for the specific needs of the Company’s customers. The Company in turn requires its customers to provide a non-refundable down payment to cover such startup costs. The Company has customer deposit as of June 30, 2009 of $788,162. In the event that a supplier is unable to fulfill its production agreements with the Company, management believes that other suppliers can be found for the Company’s products. However, a change in suppliers would cause a delay in the production process, and could result in loss of tooling deposits and other supplier advances, which could negatively affect the Company’s operating results. At June 30, 2009, the Company has made advances to its suppliers of $ 455,390 for materials and inventory.
The Company sells its goods and services internationally, although the majority of its revenue is derived from customers in the United States and Europe. As such, the Company is susceptible to credit risk on accounts and notes receivable from customers in that region. Generally, the Company does not obtain security from its customers in support of accounts receivable.
Subsequent Events
We evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on August 19, 2009. We are not aware of any significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to this filing of this report that would have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Stock Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. This statement replaces FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Statement 123(R) requires that all stock-based compensation be recognized as an expense in the financial statements and that such cost be measured at the fair value of the award. This Statement was adopted using the modified prospective method of application, which requires the Company to recognize compensation cost on a prospective basis. Under this method, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, using the fair value amounts determined for pro forma disclosures under Statement 123. For stock-based awards granted after January 1, 2006, the

Stock Based Compensation (Continued)
Company recognizes compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
Statement 123(R) also requires that excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises be reflected as financing cash inflows. Share-based compensation cost that has been included in income from continuing operations amounted to $115,220 and $110,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46(R),” which changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entity’s economic performance. SFAS No. 167 will require a reporting entity to provide additional disclosures about its involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. A reporting entity will be required to disclose how its involvement with a variable interest entity affects the reporting entity’s financial statements. SFAS No. 167 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 167 and the impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Principle-a replacement of FASB no 162” (“SFAS 168”) SFAS 168, or the FASB Accounting Standards (“Codification”), will become the source of authoritative U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. On the effective date of SFAS 168, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS No. 165 provides guidance on the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The Company adopted SFAS No. 165 during the second quarter of 2009, and its application had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the accompanying financial statements were issued, which was August 19, 2009.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, which amends and clarifies the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and related disclosures of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). This FSP is effective for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after December 15, 2008. We adopted this FSP on January 1, 2009 and the impact of the adoption on our consolidated financial statements largely depends on the size and nature of potential business combinations in the future.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 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, which provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). This FSP states that a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability when compared with normal market activity is an indication that transactions or quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value because there may be increased instances of transactions that are not orderly in such market conditions. Accordingly, further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a significant adjustment to the transactions or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value. There was no material impact on our consolidated financial statements with the adoption of this FSP.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which requires disclosures about the fair value of our financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the balance sheets, in the interim reporting periods as well as in the annual reporting periods. In addition, the FSP requires disclosures of the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of those financial instruments. We do not expect the impact of the adoption of this FSP to be material on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, which establishes a new method of recognizing and reporting other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities and requires additional disclosures related to debt and equity securities. This FSP does not change existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. We do not expect the impact of the adoption of this FSP to be material on our consolidated financial statements
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, 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 FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Application of this FSP did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2009 and for the six month months ended June 30, 2009.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Awards Granted In Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities. This FSP provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. All prior-period EPS data presented shall be adjusted retrospectively, (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings, and selected financial data) to conform with the provisions of this FSP. The adoption of EITP 03-6-1 did not have an impact on the Company as the Company does not currently have any share-based awards that would qualify as participating securities. Therefore, application of this FSP did not expected to have an effect on the Company's financial reporting.
3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company leases its office spaces and certain vehicles under non-cancelable operating leases. The Worldwide office lease requires equal annual payments plus a share of operating costs.

This Statement was adopted using the modified prospective method of application, which requires the Company to recognize compensation cost on a prospective basis. Under this method, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, using the fair value amounts determined for pro forma disclosures under Statement 123. For stock-based awards granted after January 1, 2006, the Company recognizes compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

17. EARNINGS PER SHARE
SFAS 128 requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earning per share (EPS) computations.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and the same period in 2008, there were no dilutive shares included for stock options or warrants. Employee stock options of 109,103 with an exercise price of $6.00 were not included in dilutive shares as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Class A warrants to purchase 722,221 common shares at an exercise price of $7.00 and Class B warrants to purchase 388,888 shares at an exercise price of $9.00 of common stock were not included in dilutive shares as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

18. PRIOR PERIOD RESTATEMENT
The restatement was the result of certain receivable accounts, accounts payable, accrual expenses gain on disposal of subsidiary and loss on disposal of subsidiary not being correctly recorded and therefore being adjusted resulting in the decline of net income of $457,612 to $1,001,648 rather than previously reported net income of $1,459,260 for period end December 31, 2008. In addition, there was a restatement for March 31, 2009 due to the same reasons above. For the period ending March 31, 2009 the impact on net income was reduced by $7,565.

19. OPERATING RISK
Interest rate risk
The interest rates and terms of repayment of bank is disclosed in Note 13. Other financial assets and liabilities do not have material interest rate risk.
Credit risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk from its cash in bank and bills and accounts receivable. The credit risk on cash in bank is limited because the counterparties are recognized financial institutions. Bills and accounts receivable are subjected to credit evaluations. An allowance has been made for estimated irrecoverable amounts which have been determined by reference to past default experience and the current economic environment.
Foreign currency risk
Most of the transactions of the Company were settled in Renminbi and Euros. Thus, the Company has significant foreign currency risk exposure.
Company’s operations are substantially in foreign countries
Substantially all of the Company’s products are manufactured in China. The Company’s operations are subject to various political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties inherent in China. Among other risks, the Company’s operations are subject to the risks of restrictions on transfer of funds; export duties, quotas, and embargoes; domestic and international customs and tariffs; changing taxation policies; foreign exchange restrictions; and political conditions and governmental regulations.
20. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s operations are classified into seven principal reportable segments that provide different products or services. Worldwide USA purchases and sells manufactured goods from China procured by its subsidiary, Shanghai Intech Electro-Mechanical Products Co., Ltd. (“Intech Electro”). Intech Electro provides technical advisory, design, delivery, material procurement, and manufacturing quality control services. Separate management of each segment is required because each business unit is subject to different marketing, production, and technology strategies, and because of the geographic location of each entity. Shutai Precision sells die cast parts. Intech Detron is a power supply factory in Shanghai, China with designing and R & D capabilities. Worldwide's Ningbo (“WM Ningbo”) manufactures and sells solar modules.

Overview
Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing USA, Inc. (“Worldwide” or “the Company”) is a manufacturing engineering firm and international contract manufacturer, using factories in China, primarily supplying customers in Europe and South Korea with respect to our solar modules and United States-based companies that outsource their smaller scale production orders for offshore production in China. From our inception in 1993 until 2005, we were strictly an intermediary or “middle man,” working with our customers and our subcontractors to assure that our customers received high quality components on a timely basis that fulfilled their specific needs. While we still subcontract a significant portion of our business, since 2005, we have begun the transition to becoming a direct contract manufacturer, operating several of our own factories. This trend will continue if the right opportunities arise. Recently, we announced two additional factories allowing us to become a direct manufacturer for solar modules and for power supply units as described below:
On October 14, 2008, Worldwide completed the acquisition of 55% of Shanghai De Hong Electric and Electronic Company Limited (“De Hong”) through acquiring 55% of the outstanding capital stock of De Hong, a China corporation, through Worldwide’s wholly owned subsidiary Intech Electro- Mechanical Products Co., Ltd., a Chinese corporation (“Intech”). The Company funded the acquisition with the sale of 1,055,103 shares of its common stock, or $4,747,970. The sale of stock took place on June 23, 2008. Shanghai De Hong Electric and Electronic Company is the holding company for the operating subsidiary Shanghai Intech-Detron Electronic Co. (“Detron”). Therefore, Worldwide received 55% control of the operating subsidiary Shanghai Intech-Detron Electric and Electronic Company Limited (“Detron”). Detron is a power supply factory in Shanghai, China with designing and R & D. The terms of the Purchase Agreement dated February 3, 2008 was that Worldwide USA paid cash consideration of approximately 1 million dollars for 55% interest in DeHong. Intech paid the first installment of $714,286 on behalf of Worldwide in September, 2008. On March 31, 2009, Worldwide paid back $714,286 to Intech and further paid $308,414 for the second installment and the total consideration of the investment is $1,022,700.
On August 15, 2008, the Company formed a new company called Nantong Ningbo Solar factory (“Ningbo Solar”), which is the solar energy research and development manufacturer. The Company established a factory to provide installation services to different solar projects. The Company also acts as agent to import or export the products and services overseas.
On November 10, 2008 the Company announced the establishment of a new solar module production and R&D facility. We leased a 128,000-square-foot facility in Ningbo, China. This facility houses the Company’s research center and part of its photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing operations. We believe the establishment of this facility will help to improve margins for our solar modules. The Company will focus its efforts on the solar module industry both at present as well as in the future. The trend for the future for Worldwide will be to continue to expand and seek opportunities to increase market share in the solar module industry.
The city of Ningbo is about two hours away from downtown Shanghai. The production capacity of the factory is 60 to 80 megawatts per year.
Despite these additions and enlarging our capability as a direct manufacturer for several products lines we are still constrained in our growth for a number of reasons. Many Fortune 500 and other large companies either cannot, or choose not, to work with contract manufacturers preferring to go directly to the source that can manufacture the product and thereby avoid the additional expense of the middleman. This is particularly true for very large orders, where the added cost of the middleman can have a material impact on the customers’ bottom line. As a result, our revenues have for the most part, but not entirely, been limited to smaller scale production orders primarily (but not entirely) placed by companies that are not among the largest companies in the United States or elsewhere. Additionally, as a middleman we must share any potential gross profit with the subcontracting factory. Therefore, our customers are generally smaller, the orders they place are generally smaller and the income and profit we can generate from those orders is of necessity limited because we are not directly manufacturing the products. On the other hand, when we subcontract the actual manufacturing of our customers’ products and components, we do not need to hire factory employees, purchase materials, purchase and maintain manufacturing equipment or incur the costs of the manufacturing facilities. To some extent, these costs are built into the price charged by our subcontractors, but if we do not place orders, we do not incur those costs.
Our management has carefully considered these factors and during 2004 made the strategic decision to move our Company away from our historical complete reliance on subcontractors. The future trend of these decisions is to control our entire production process and improve profit margins. At the beginning of 2005 we did not own any of our own factories and used as our suppliers of materials and labor approximately 100 factories in China, mostly in Shanghai or the surrounding area. Since 2005 we have acquired an electronics factory, a die-casting and machining factory through leasing an existing facility from a former vendor and initially invested approximately $500,000 to upgrade the equipment and manufacturing buildings, a recently announced power supply company with designing and R & D capabilities and a solar module factory on November 10, 2008. In these transactions we acquired assets, the expertise of the employees, the managers of the factories, and a portion of the existing customers of those factories with the exception of the solar module factory which we established on our own. As a result, as of November 10, 2008, we own and operate four factories that we now use for the manufacture of certain product lines that we historically had to subcontract, and we are using the services of approximately 40 subcontractors to manufacture those product lines for which we do not have our own manufacturing capabilities.
The establishment of these factories, including asset purchases and factory upgrades, was funded by three separate sources. The earlier acquisitions of the die cast and electronic factory primarily was financed by loans from Jimmy and Mindy Wang, our principal stockholders and executive officers, as well as increased lines of credit. Our credit line increased to $3,025,000 with Bank of the West from a $2,250,000 line with Wells Fargo. The power supply company and the establishment of the new solar module factory were funded by two equity transactions dated June 23 and July 24, 2008 where the Company raised approximately $5,000,000 dollars and netted approximately $4,600,000 after fees and costs. In the future, we expect to continue to acquire or newly-establish factories that will give us the capability to manufacture those product lines our management believes are the most profitable.
With the continuing transition into direct manufacturing and the renewable energy field, we expect to continue to increase sales outside the United States, and in particular, increase the number of customers in PRC, other Asian markets and Europe. Our costs to establish and improve these factories will increase along with sales and profits.
Through the development of our product mix, which consists of solar modules, foundry, machining and stamping, electronics and fiber optics products lines, our business has become more diverse. In the past, foundry and machining and stamping accounted for more than 90% of our business. This percentage has decreased since forming our own factories along with our new energy division which now represents approximately 73% of our business and we expect this percentage to continue to increase in the foreseeable future.
Generally, our operating results have been, and will continue to be, affected by a number of factors, and uncertainties including the following:
| • | our customers may cancel or delay orders or change production quantities; |
| | |
| • | our operating results vary significantly from period to period due to the mix of the manufacturing services we are providing, the number and size of new manufacturing programs, the degree to which we utilize our manufacturing capacity, seasonal demand, shortages of components and other factors; |
| | |
| • | integration of acquired businesses and facilities; and |
| | |
| • | managing growth and changes in our operations. |
We also are subject to other risks, including risks associated with operating in foreign countries, changes in our tax rates, and fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

The Company funded its growth largely from its proceeds of $4,747,970 from the sale on June 23, 2008 of 1,055,103 shares of its common stock, and from additional sale of $252,027 or 56,007 shares of common stock later in 2008. This was used to help fund these new acquisitions and to provide additional working capital for the Company. The Company netted $4,608,036 from the sales of these securities.
In 2008 our credit line was increased by approximately $775,000 from a line of credit in the amount of $2.25 million with Golden Gate Bank to $3.025 million, as a result of securing two new credit lines with Bank of the West, one for $1,025,000 and the other for $2,000,000. The credit line with Golden Gate Bank was subsequently closed. These revolving lines of credit are secured by the assets of the Company and guaranteed by its officers. The maturity date of these two credit lines is May 20, 2010 and June 1, 2011, respectively. The balance outstanding as of June 30, 2009 is $1,300,000, and $700,000 is still available for use on the line of credit. Additionally, the second line of credit has a balance of $848,702 as of June 30, 2009.
For the six month period ending June 30 2009, net cash used in operations was $158,466 compared to net cash used in June of 2008 of $2,503,783. The major factors for the decrease in net cash used in operations were the increase in accounts payable for solar module materials where we received better terms due to weakness in the overall economy. Net cash used in investing was $1,967,317 in the six month period ending June 30, 2009, compared to net cash used of $1,030,526 in the same period of 2008. This increase was the result of our acquisition of Detron and the establishment of our new solar module factory. The Company anticipates further growth in 2009 as the economy is anticipated to improve. If such growth materializes we will finance this growth through Company profitability as well as outside sources of funding if required. Net cash flows provided by financing activities in the six month ending June 30, 2009 was $1,151,603 compared to $3,035,666 in 2008.
The Company raised approximately, $4,747,970 on June 23, 2008 and an additional $252,027 on July 24, 2008 for gross proceeds of approximately $5,000,000, or net proceeds of $4,586,916 after offering expenses. The Company issued 1,111,109 restricted common shares along with warrants to purchase an additional 1,111,109 shares with 722,221 warrants having an exercise price of $7.00 and 388,888 of those warrants having an excise price of $9.00. These funds were used to expand our energy division through the establishment of a new solar module factory announced on November 10, 2008 along the acquisition of a power supply company with designing and R&D capabilities. Additionally, these funds will be used to provide additional working capital for the solar module factory to purchase raw materials and to expand the solar module business segment.
PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company will continue to focus on the expansion of its renewable energy division by the continued development of its newly established solar factory in Ningbo, China as well as the continued quality enhancements of its solar module brand, "Amerisolar". Additionally, we intend to develop the U.S. solar module market and plan to expand our operation in this market. We believe that the renewable energy division offers the Company its greatest growth and profit potential in both the present and foreseeable future.

We do not have any contractual obligations that are currently material or reasonably likely to be material to our financial position or results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to property, plant and equipment, inventories, revenue recognition, inventories, accounts receivable and foreign currency transactions and translation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results, however, may differ significantly from these estimates.
We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost and are depreciated over the useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements and capitalized leased equipment are amortized over the life of the lease. Repair and maintenance expenditures that do not significantly add to the value of the equipment or prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions of property, plant and equipment are included in the related period’s statement of operations. Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 25 years.
Inventories
Inventories consist of finished goods of manufactured products. Our inventory is based on customer orders and the duration of those orders. Cost is stated at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. We have recorded as of June 30, 2009 an allowance of $19,390 for slow-moving or obsolete inventory.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenues in accordance with the guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104 “Revenue Recognition”. We recognize revenue from product sales when the orders are completed and shipped, provided that collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Amounts billed to customers are recorded as sales while the shipping costs are included in cost of sales. Returns on defective custom parts may only be exchanged for replacement parts within 30 days of the invoice date. Returns on defective parts, which can be resold, may be exchanged for replacement parts or for a refund. Revenue from non-refundable customer tooling deposits is recognized when the materials are shipped or when the deposit is forfeited, whichever is earlier.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
The Company’s principal country of operations is The People’s Republic of China. The financial position and results of operations of the Company are determined using the local currency (“Renminbi” or “Yuan”) as the functional currency. The 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 exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet 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 a separate component within stockholders’ equity. Translation adjustments net of tax totaled $86,621 and $146,017, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively and $107,656 and $244,440, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, the exchange rate was 6.8448 Yuan and 6.8718 Yuan per U.S. Dollar, respectively.
Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the Board of Directors and the Board has reviewed the disclosures presented above relating to them.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (also our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In connection with the audit for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008, Child Van Wagner (“Child”), our independent registered public accounting firm, noted matters involving our internal controls that it considered to be significant deficiencies, and taken together constitute a material weakness, under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB. Under the PCAOB standards, a significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that, in Child’s judgment, would adversely affect the ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that, in Child’s judgment, results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
The material weaknesses identified by Child were as follows:
RESTATEMENT ISSUES: The restatement of the December 31, 2008 financials was the result of certain receivable accounts, accounts payable, accrual expenses gain on disposal of subsidiary and loss on disposal of subsidiary not being correctly recorded and therefore being adjusted resulting in the decline of net income of $457,612 to $1,001,648 rather than previously reported net income of $1,459,260 for the period ending December 31, 2008.
Our management has discussed these material weaknesses with our board of directors and has engaged in the following remediation efforts to ensure that the significant deficiencies do not reoccur: we are adding additional accounting staff with greater expertise to assist the Company in preparation of its financial statements in China.
These remediation efforts are designed to address the material weakness identified by Child and to improve and strengthen our overall control environment. We believe these actions will prevent the significant deficiencies from reoccurring. Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that disclosure controls or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors, even as the aforementioned remediation measures are implemented and further improved to address all deficiencies. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
The implementation of our remediation plan will require substantial expenditures, could take a significant period of time to complete, and could distract our officers and employees from the operation of our business. However, our management believes that these remediation efforts will be complete by the end of the 2009 fiscal year.
Our management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the date of this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our president (also our principal executive officer) and chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer), in order to conclude if our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Based on the information set forth above, our management has determined that, as of the date of this report, we do not have effective disclosure controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Report
In its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 (the “Annual Report”), our management reported that, as of the date of such report, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company employed an outside consultant to assist us with the self-assessment required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 of our internal controls and procedures. However, upon review of the work product, our management determined that the prepared documentation did not contain sufficient detail. The Company will hire additional consultants to help management refine such documentation.
Based upon the foregoing, our management has determined that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during our last fiscal quarter, under the supervision and with the participation of our president (also our principal executive officer) and chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer), that materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
