1. MANAGEMENT'S REPRESENTATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing USA, Inc. and subsidiaries without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements.

Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements.

Description of Business
Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing USA, Inc. (“Worldwide” or “the Company”) is an international manufacturing and engineering firm, concentrating on photovoltaic (“PV”) solar modules and contract manufacturing services, using multiple factories in China. Worldwide services customers primarily in Europe and 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 20 05, 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 PV 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 ENERGY AND MANUFACTURING USA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2010 AND 2009
Worldwide leases 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. In May 2010, the Company vacated this facility and moved the operations to its new Nantong facility. The Company paid two month’s rent as a penalty to be released from the lease, which was booked to Other Expense in the Statement of Operations, and wrote off approximately $94,000 of leasehold improvements and equipment to Loss on disposal of fixed assets in the Statement of Operations. The Company did not incur any other material costs of abandonment of the Ningbo facility.
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”). De Hong is the holding Company for the operating subsidiary Shanghai Intech-Detron Electronic Co. (“Detron”). The Company purchased De Hong based on the fair value of its assets at the time of purchase.
The terms of the purchase agreement stated that Worldwide would pay a cash consideration of $1,022,700 for 55% interest in DeHong. Intech paid the first installment of $714,286 on behalf of Worldwide in September 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, Worldwide paid $308,414 for the second installment and the total consideration of the purchase price of $1,022,700 was paid in full.
The Company funded the acquisition with some of the proceeds from its sale of 1,055,103 shares of its common stock, or $4,747,970, which took place in June 2008. Worldwide received 55% control of the operating subsidiary, Detron. Detron is a power supply factory in Shanghai, China with design and R&D capabilities. This was accounted for as a purchase of Detron, where Worldwide has operating control. The Company began to consolidate Detron into the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on October 1, 2008.
On August 15, 2008, Worldwide formed a new Company called Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing (Ningbo) Co., Ltd (“Ningbo Solar”), which is our solar energy research, development and manufacturing subsidiary. The Company also acts as an agent to import or export the products and services overseas. Ningbo Solar began operations during the first quarter of 2009.
In May 2010, Nantong formed its wholly owned subsidiary, Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing (Shanghai) Co., Ltd, (“Shanghai Solar”) to provide design, installation, and consulting for Solar Power Systems. This subsidiary has been created to provide more value add to our customers by providing the System Integration services (the next downstream link in the Solar Value Chain) to complement our PV Solar Module offerings. This service will provide system design work by incorporating and specifying the Balance-of-System (BOS) components with our Amerisolar modules. We have started this endeavor to take advantage of the rapidly growing solar market in China. Operations at this subsidiary are not expected to be material in 2010 and therefore, we have not determined the revenue recogniti on policies which will apply to this operation.
On November 14, 2005, Worldwide established a die-casting and machining presence through leasing an existing facility from a former supplier, and initially investing $500,000 to upgrade the equipment and manufacturing buildings. In this transaction, 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 of June 30, 2010 we own and operate three factories that we now use for the manufacturing 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.

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2010 AND 2009
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing USA, Inc., a Colorado corporation and a public company, and seven subsidiary companies, Intech, Shanghai Intech Precision Mechanical Products Ltd (“Die Cast”), Detron, Ningbo Solar, Nantong Solar Factory (“Nantong”), Shanghai Solar, and De Hong.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Consolidation Topic, ASC 810-10-45-16, revised the accounting treatment for non-controlling minority interests of partially-owned subsidiaries. Non-controlling minority interests represent the portion of earnings that is not within the parent Company’s control. These amounts are now required to be reported as equity instead of as a liability on the balance sheet. These amounts are $1,385,782 and $1,025,811 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Additionally, this statement requires net income from non-controlling minority interests to be shown separately on the consolidated statements of operations. These amounts are income of $245,125 and a loss of $97,453 for the three month periods ending June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and incom e of $355,141 and a loss of $122,610 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and shown separately in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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 at this time. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity, but exerts a significant influence over the entity, the Company would apply the equity method of accounting.
Comprehensive Income
The Company reports comprehensive income in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 220 “Comprehensive Income," which established standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.
Total comprehensive income is defined as all changes in stockholders' equity during a period, other than those resulting from investments by and distributions to stockholders (i.e., issuance of equity securities and dividends). Generally, for the Company, total comprehensive income (loss) equals net income(loss) plus or minus adjustments for currency translation. Total comprehensive income (loss) represents the activity for a period net of related tax and was income of $1,642,880 and was a loss of $887,547 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and was income of $3,705,898 and was a loss of $194,110 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
While total comprehensive income is the activity in a period and is largely driven by net earnings in that period, accumulated other comprehensive income or loss (“AOCI”) represents the cumulative balance of other comprehensive income as of the balance sheet date. For the Company, AOCI is primarily the cumulative balance related to the currency adjustments and increased overall equity by $658,817 and $551,943 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on trade accounts 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 a number of factors, including historical losses, current receivables aging reports, the counter party’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and existing industry and People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) economic data. The Company reviews its allowances every month. Past due invoices over 90 days that exceed a specific amount are reviewed individually for collectability. During th e three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, no amounts were charged off against the allowance. The Company does not have any off Balance Sheet exposure related to its customers.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2010 AND 2009
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 expensed 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, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included as a component of operating expenses.
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 |
Construction in-progress
Plant and production lines currently under development at the Nantong China facility 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 readiness for use of the project, the cost of construction-in-progress is transferred to property and equipment, at which time depreciation will commence. The Company had no capitalized interest and to date has funded this construction through operations without the use of outside debt financing. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has incurred a total of $1,617,181 of construction in progress. The Nantong facility is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2010. The estimated additional cost to be incurred in 2010 is $660,000 and the total cost of the project has been revised to approximately $2,300,000 from $4,500,000 due to the Company not currently purchasing certain machinery and equipment. However, the Company may purchase this machinery and equipment in the future.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company’s long-lived assets and other assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the guidance of the FASB Topic ASC 360-10, “Property, Plant, and Equipment”, and FASB Topic ASC 205 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The Company tests for impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognize d is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Impairment evaluations involve management’s estimates on asset useful lives and future cash flows. Actual useful lives and cash flows could be different from those estimated by management which could have a material effect on our reporting results and financial position. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. Through June 30, 2010, the Company had not experienced impairment losses on its long-lived assets. However, there can be no assurances 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 consist of raw material, work in progress and finished goods of manufactured products.
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 value of inventory is determined using the weighted average cost method and includes any related production overhead costs incurred in bringing the inventory to their present location and condition. Overhead costs included in finished goods include, direct labor cost and other costs directly applicable to the manufacturing process. The Company evaluates inventories for excess, slow moving, and obsolete inventories as well as inventory whose volume is in excess of its net realizable value. 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. Inventory amounts are reported net of such allowances. Management has recorded an $80,000 inventory allowance as of June 30, 2010.
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 of defective custom parts may only be exchanged for replacement parts within 30 days of the invoice date. Returns of defective parts 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 forfeit ed, whichever is earlier. Recently, industry conditions and market forces have necessitated the Company to extend their payment terms in the marketplace; however, this change in terms does not prohibit the Company from recognizing revenue in accordance with SAB No. 104.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements 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 (“PRC”) and is not protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance or any other similar insurance. Cash held in China amounted to $11,956,205 (including restricted cash of $1,211,397) at June 30, 2010. Accounts held at U.S. financial institutions are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000. As of June 30, 2010, the Company’s cash balance held at U.S banks was $2,748,766 which was $2,498,766 in excess of the insured amounts. Given the current economic environment and the financial condit ions 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 domestic or foreign banks in past years.
Accounting for Derivatives
The Company evaluates stock options, stock warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 815-40, “Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC Topic 815-40”). The result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations a s other income or other expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Financial instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815-40 are reclassified to a liability account at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

Estimates
The preparation of these condensed 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 condensed 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 by management include among others: useful lives and residual values of fixed assets, valuation of inventories, accounts receivable and notes receivable, stock based compensation, valuations of warr ant derivative liability, and goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests, warranties, and deferred taxes. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.
Product Warranties
We provide a limited warranty to the original purchasers of our PV solar modules not sourced from subcontractors for five years against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service conditions following the date of sale, and we provide a warranty that the modules will produce at least 90% of their power output rating during the first 10 years following the date of sale and at least 80% of their power output rating during the following 15 years. In resolving claims under both the defects and power output warranties, we have the option of either repairing or replacing the covered module or, under the power output warranty, providing additional modules to remedy the power shortfall. Our warranties are transferable when product remains installed in the original location. When we recogniz e revenue for module sales, we accrue a liability for the estimated future costs of meeting our warranty obligations for those modules. We make and revise this estimate based on the number of solar modules under warranty at customer locations, our historical experience with warranty claims, our in-house testing of our solar modules and our estimated per-module replacement cost. As of June 30, 2010, our accrued warranty liability was approximately $49,000.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
The Company’s primary country of operations is The People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s China operations are determined using the local currency Renminbi (“RMB”) as the functional currency. However, the China operation’s sell solar products in Euros. The results of transactions in foreign currency are remeasured into the functional currency at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period. Aggregate net foreign currency remeasurements included in the income statement was a loss of $343,331 and a gain of $1,460, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and a loss of $830,544 and a gain of $5,425 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively pr imarily due to the decline of the value of the Euro to the RMB.
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 $114,090 and $86,621, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $106,874 and $107,656 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company applies the provisions of accounting guidance, FASB Topic ASC 820 that 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, and 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, 2010, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, line of credit and other payables approximated carrying value due to the short maturity of the instruments, quoted market prices or interest rates which fluctuate with market rates except for related party debt or receivables for which it is not pra cticable to estimate fair value.
Fair Value Measurements
Effective January 1, 2009, the FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments.
The FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements.
Various inputs are considered when determining the fair value of the Company’s investments, warrant derivative liability, and long-term debt. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
· | Level 1 – observable market inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
· | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.). |
· | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
The Company’s adoption of FASB ASC Topic 825 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
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 had a warrant derivative liability carried at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2010 related to the warrants issued in its 2010 Financing. In addition, the Company had a warrant derivative liability carried at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2009 related to the warrants issued in its 2008 Financing. Effective April 15, 2010 with the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company has met all contingencies and related 2008 milestone requirements, as defined, and as a result, the Company reclassified the warrants associated with the 2008 Financing to equity on April 16, 2010.

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.
Concentrations, Risks, and Uncertainties
All of the Company’s manufacturing is located in the 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 dependent on foreign trade in the 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. In addition, the China operation’s sell solar products in Euros. The results of operations denominated in foreign currency are translated at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period. Aggregate net foreign currency transactions included in the income statement was a loss of $343,331 and a gain of $1,460, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and a loss of $830,544 and a gain of $5,425 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively primarily due to the decline of the value of the Euro to the RMB.
At June 30, 2010, one customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable, with a total amount of $11,733,341, representing 51.3% of total accounts receivable in aggregate. Due to market conditions and competitive pressures, a significant amount of our accounts receivable includes sales with extended payment terms.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, one customer accounted for more than 10% of our quarterly sales with a sales mount of $45,461,291 or 64.8% of sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, two customers individually accounted for greater than 10% of quarterly sales with a total sales volume in the quarter of $10,630,694, or 51.6%.
For the three months ended June 30, 2010, one customer accounted for more than 10% of our quarterly sales with a sales mount of $25,627,306 or 64.3% of sales. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, two customers individually accounted for greater than 10% of quarterly sales with a total sales volume in the quarter of $5,850,653, or 56.7%.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, two suppliers accounted for more than 10% of our Cost of Goods Sold. Purchases from these suppliers totaled $29,580,619 or 47.0% of the Cost of Goods Sold. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, two suppliers accounted for greater than 10% of our Cost of Goods Sold in the period at $10,546,492 or 63.9% of the Cost of Goods sold.
WORLDWIDE ENERGY AND MANUFACTURING USA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2010 AND 2009
For the three months ended June 30, 2010, two suppliers accounted for more than 10% of our Cost of Goods Sold. Purchases from these suppliers totaled $20,537,862 or 56.0% of the Cost of Goods Sold. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, two suppliers accounted for greater than 10% of our Cost of Goods Sold in the period at $5,003,291 or 60.0% of the Cost of Goods sold.
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 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 advances are generally unsecured and may carry interest at the prevailing market rate for short-term instruments. Such tooling is in most cases, either owned by the supplier or our customers and is generally of value primarily for the specific needs of the Company’s customers. At June 30, 2010, the Company has made advances to its suppliers of $1,519,786 for materials and inventory. These advances will be recognized in operations as the Company receives the material and inventory from the supplier. The Company in turn requires its customers to provide a non-refundable down payment to offset such startup costs. These deposits will be recognized in operations as the Company delivers goods to its customers. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has customer deposits of $1,040,326. 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.
The Company sells its goods and services internationally, with the majority of its revenue currently being 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. Generally, the Company does not obtain security from its customers in support of accounts receivable.
Stock Based Compensation
For purposes of determining the variables used in the calculation of stock compensation expense under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 505, “Equity” and FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation,” we perform an analysis of current market data and historical Company data to calculate an estimate of implied volatility, the expected term of the option and the expected forfeiture rate. With the exception of the expected forfeiture rate, which is not an input, we use these estimates as variables in th e Black-Scholes option pricing model. Depending upon the number of stock options granted, any fluctuations in these calculations could have a material effect on the results presented in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. In addition, any differences between estimated forfeitures and actual forfeitures could also have a material impact on our financial statements.
Share-based compensation costs that have been included in operating expenses amounted to $33,492 and $83,100 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $45,992 and $115,220 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards
The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-11, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives. The FASB believes this ASU clarifies the type of embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements. Specifically, only one form of embedded credit derivative qualifies for the exemption - one that is related only to the subordination of one financial instrument to another. As a result, entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit derivative feature. The amendments in the ASU are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fisca l quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after March 5, 2010. The Company has not determined the impact that this guidance may have on its financial statements.
3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has various purchase commitments for materials, supplies and services incident to the ordinary conduct of business, generally for quantities required for the Company’s business and at prevailing market prices. No material annual loss is expected from these commitments.
The Company has a contingency associated with its capital raises in 2010 which requires certain milestones to be met. The contingency states: Additionally, as further consideration for the transaction, we, along with the investors, entered into a make good escrow agreement with certain insiders (“CI”) of the Company who placed an aggregate of 1,620,954 shares of the Company’s common stock into escrow, to be distributed if certain financial milestones of the Company are not met. Pursuant to the terms of the make good escrow agreement, if the Adjusted EBIDTA reported in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report is less than $4,000,000, then the investors shall be entitled to receive on a “pro rata” basis, determined by dividing each investor’s investment amount by the aggregate of al l investment amounts delivered to us by the investors, for no consideration other than their part of their respective investment amount at closing, some or all of the escrow shares determined according to the following formula:
For the purposes of the foregoing formula:
A = 2010 Adjusted EBITDA
B = 2010 EBITDA Milestone
C = Total number of shares issued to the selling stockholders
D = 4.50
E = Total Investment Amount
In addition, the agreement states: Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company reports an Adjusted EBITDA of $2,000,000 or less for the year ended December 31, 2010 or the Company fails to file its 2010 Form 10-K with the Commission on or before the last date that such form is required to be filed (after any permitted extensions under the Exchange Act), the “2010 EBITDA Milestone Price” shall equal $2.25 resulting in a potential maximum number of additional shares issued to the investors of 1,970,956.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2010 AND 2009
Should a contingency arise, the contingency would be first satisfied by the CI shares and should the CI shares not be sufficient, then shares would be issued from the Company’s treasury. The CI shares are considered to be primary consideration in satisfying any potential contingency and are included in outstanding shares and the calculation of earnings per share.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2010 AND 2009
On January 26, 2010, we entered in a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which we issued and sold 1,777,777 of our common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,777,777 shares of our common stock for $7,292,790, net of offering costs of $707,210. Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., LLC acted as the lead placement agent on the private placement.
On February 9, 2010, we entered into an amendment agreement with approximately 74% of such accredited investors to amend the transaction documents to increase the maximum amount of securities sold to $9,000,000. On February 9, 2010, we entered into a second securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which we issued and sold 193,179 shares of our common stock and warrants for $843,793, net of offering costs of $25,514.
The warrants are exercisable for a term of five years at an exercise price of $5.65 per share. The warrants also contain anti-dilution provisions, including but not limited to, if the Company issues shares of its common stock at less than the then existing conversion price, the conversion price of the warrants will automatically be reduced to such lower price and the number of shares to be issued upon exercise will be proportionately increased. The warrants contain limitations on exercise, including the limitation that the holders may not convert their Series A Warrants to the extent that upon exercise the holder, together with its affiliates, would own in excess of 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
In addition, Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., LLC acted as the lead placement agent on the private placement and received warrants to purchase 102,324 shares of the Company’s common stock (warrants to purchase 6,333 shares of common stock were issued to other placement agents at an exercise price of $6.75) (based on 150% of the per share equivalent of $4.50 in the transaction). The warrants vest immediately and have a five year term.
12. WARRANTS
Accounting for the Warrants
In connection with the Company’s 2008 equity financing completed on June 23, 2008 and July 24, 2008 (“2008 Financing”), 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. In addition, in connection with the Company’s 2010 equity financing (completed on January 26, 2010 and February 9, 2010 (“2010 Financing”), the Company issued 1,970,956 restricted common shares along with warrants to purchase an additional 2,079,613 shares with 1,970,956 warrants having an exercise price of $5.65 and 108,657 of those warrants having an excise price of $6.75. The Company analyzed the warrants issued in these two t ransactions (“Warrants”) in accordance with ASC Topic 815 (a codification of EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”) to determine whether the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC Topic 815 and, if so, whether the Warrants meet the scope exception of ASC Topic 815, which is that contracts issued or held by the reporting entity that are both (1) indexed to its own stock and (2) classified in stockholders’ equity shall not be considered to be derivative instruments for purposes of ASC Topic 815. The provisions of ASC Topic 815 subtopic 40 “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“ASC Topic 815 subtopic 40”) apply to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, as defined by ASC Topic 815 and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock. The Company concluded that the warrants issued in the 2008 Financing should be treated as a derivative liability as the 2008 Financing includes certain milestone provisions which the Company must be in compliance with for each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. If the Company fails to meet these milestones, the Company will be required to issue additional shares of common stock to each purchaser in the 2008 Financing equal to the difference between the original purchase price and the average of the ten closing prices for each of the ten trading days immediately following the milestone date (as defined in the agreement). In addition, the warrant agreement provides for a price adjustment provision to allow the Conversion Price to be reduced and the number of warrants shares increased in the event the Company fails to meet certain contingencies associated with the 2008 Financing. As thes e provisions provide for the possible issuance of additional shares which are indeterminate, the Company determined that the proper accounting for the 2008 Financing warrants should be as a derivative liability under ASC Topic 815 (codification of EITF 00-19). With respect to the 2010 Financing, the Company concluded that the warrants issued should be treated as a derivative liability as a result of the 2008 Financing which includes provisions that could provide for the possible issuance of additional shares which are indeterminate. Additionally, the 2010 Financing contains a Registration Payment Arrangement which requires the Company to timely file its required public filings for 12 months in accordance with SEC Rule 144. As a result, the warrant derivatives should be measured at fair value and re-measured at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recorded in earnings under other income/expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. ; Effective April 15, 2010 with the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company has met all contingencies and related 2008 milestone requirements, as defined, and as a result, the Company reclassified the warrants associated with the 2008 Financing to equity on April 16, 2010. The warrants associated with the 2010 Financing will continue to be accounted as a derivative liability. Should the Company timely file its required public filings for 12 months, then the Company expects to reclassify the warrant derivatives associated with the 2010 Financing to equity in 2011.

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2010 AND 2009
During the three month periods ending June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded a gain on warrant re-valuation of $1,468,782 and a loss on warrant re-valuation of $1,090,898, respectively, and a gain of $2,698,781 and a loss of $1,072,396, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Fair Value of the Warrants
Fair value is generally based on independent sources such as quoted market prices or dealer price quotations. To the extent certain financial instruments trade infrequently or are non-marketable securities, they may not have readily determinable fair values. The Company estimated the fair value of the Warrants using a Black Scholes option pricing model and available information that management deems most relevant. Among the factors considered in determining the fair value of financial instruments: The stock price is the closing price of the Company’s stock on the valuation date; the risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Government Securities average rate for 1 and 2 year maturities on the date of issuance; the volatility is a statistical measure (standard deviation) of the tendency of the Company’s stock price to cha nge over time; the exercise price is the price at which the warrant can be purchased by exercising prior to its expiration; the dividend yield is not applicable due to the Company not intending to declare dividends; the contractual life is based on the average exercise period of the warrant; and the fair market value is value of the warrants based on the Black Scholes model on the valuation date.
The following table provides the valuation inputs used to value the Warrants issued in connection with the 2010 Financing.

14. EARNINGS PER SHARE
FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) computations.
For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and the same period in 2009, the following were included as potential dilutive shares. Employee stock options of 96,217 with an exercise price of $6.00. 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. Due to the exercise price being in excess of the estimated fair market value of the Company’s stock, using the treasury stock method, all potential dilutive shares were deemed to be anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share:

Overview
Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing USA, Inc. (“Worldwide” or “the Company”) is an international manufacturing and engineering firm, concentrating on PV solar modules and contract manufacturing services, using multiple factories in China. We service customers globally for our solar modules and in the United States and China for the components and products from our Contract Manufacturing division. 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 di rect 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, we established a solar division that focuses on photovoltaic module technology under the brand name of “AmeriSolar.” On February 4, 2008, we changed our name from Worldwide Manufacturing USA, Inc. to Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing USA, Inc. in order to reflect our expansion into the solar energy industry. We issued 300,000 restricted shares for the AmeriSolar brand name. We then leased a 129,167 square foot facility in Ningbo, China. The lease term is from July 18, 2008 to July 17, 2013. In May 2010, the Company vacated this facility and moved the operations to its new Nantong facility. This facility houses the production operations and R&D center for our solar division. This factory has the capability of producing 100MW in solar modules per year. By opening this factory we hope to increase gross and net margins in our solar division. Furthermore, it will help us through the R&D department to continue to improve, develop and enhance our solar modules. We will continue to explore opportunities as well as expand our solar sales and distribution globally. We currently sell our solar modules in Europe and South Korea. Our research shows that there is an abundance of solar rebate programs paid by Federal, State, and Local governments for both the commercial and residential markets globally. We feel we are well positioned to sell our modules to large institutions in the U.S. This division generated $35,344,586 and $7,499,560 in sales for three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $61,555,858 and $13,901,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
On October 14, 2008, we 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 our wholly owned subsidiary Intech Electro- Mechanical Products Co., Ltd., a Chinese corporation (“Intech”). We funded the acquisition with the sale of 1,055,103 shares of our common stock, or $4,747,970 on June 23, 2008 and an additional sale of 56,007 shares of common stock, $252,027 on July 24, 2008. Shanghai De Hong Electric and Electronic Company is the holding company for the operating subsidiary Shanghai Intech-Detron Electronic Co. (“Detron”). We hold 55% control of the operating subsidiary Shanghai Intech-Detron Electric and Electronic Co mpany Limited (“Detron”). Detron is a power supply factory in Shanghai, China with design and R & D capabilities. Under the terms of the purchase agreement dated February 3, 2008, we paid cash consideration of $1,022,700 for a 55% interest in De Hong. Intech paid the first installment of $714,286 on behalf of us in September, 2008. On March 31, 2009, we paid $308,414 for the second installment, such that the total consideration of the investment is $1,022,700.
Detron’s revenues were a $2,271,678 and $1,357,617 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $3,989,405 and $2,445,044 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
On August 15, 2008, we formed a new company called Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing (Ningbo) Co., Ltd (“Ningbo Solar”), which is the solar energy research and development manufacturer. We established a factory to manufacture PV solar modules and provide these to customers for various solar projects. We also act as agent to import or export the products and services overseas.
On November 10, 2008 we announced the establishment of a new solar module production and R&D facility. We leased a 129,167-square-foot facility in Ningbo, China. This facility houses our research center and part of our photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing operations. We believe the establishment of this facility will help to improve margins for our solar modules. We will focus our efforts on the solar module industry both at present as well as in the future. The trend for the future for us will be to continue to expand and seek opportunities to increase market share in the solar module industry.
In May 2010, the Company vacated this facility and moved the operations to its new Nantong (“Nantong”) facility. The Company paid two month’s rent as a penalty to be released from the lease, which was booked to Other Expense in the Statement of Operations, and wrote off approximately $94,000 of leasehold improvements and equipment to Loss on disposal of fixed assets in the Statement of Operations. The Company did not incur any other material costs of abandonment of the Ningbo facility.
In May 2010, Nantong formed its wholly owned subsidiary, Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing (Shanghai) Co., Ltd, (“Shanghai Solar”) to provide design, installation, and consulting for Solar Power Systems. This subsidiary has been created to provide more value add to our customers by providing the System Integration services (the next downstream link in the Solar Value Chain) to complement our PV Solar Module offerings. This service will provide system design work by incorporating and specifying the Balance-of-System (BOS) components with our Amerisolar modules. We have started this endeavor to take advantage of the rapidly growing solar market in China. Operations at this subsidiary are not expected to be material in 2010.
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. A dditionally, 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 us 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, and acquired a die-casting and machining factory through the leasing of an existing facility from a former vendor. Then we made an initial investment of approximately $500,000 to upgrade the equipment and manufacturing buildings. We also recently acquired of a powe r supply company with designing and R&D capabilities and the establishment of 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, we currently own and operate three 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 during 2008. The Company was not in compliance with its related loan covenants at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010. 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 we raised approximately $5,000,000. In the future, we expect to continue to acquire or new ly-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 China, 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, casting, 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 88.7% and 72.7% of our sales volume for the three months ending June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 87.8% and 67.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. With greater market penetration, and the market expanding, the solar content of our overall business is expected to increase.
Generally, our operating results have been, and will continue to be, affected by a number of factors, including the following:
| • | our customers may cancel or delay orders or change production quantities; |
| | |
| • | overall market conditions in the solar industry; |
| | |
| • | 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.
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 f orfeited, whichever is earlier. Recently, industry conditions and market forces have necessitated the Company to extend their payment terms in the marketplace; however, this change in terms does not prohibit the Company from recognizing revenue in accordance with SAB No. 104.
Operations at the Company’s new Shanghai Solar subsidiary are not expected to be material in 2010 and therefore, we have not determined the revenue recognition policies which will apply to this operation.
Results of Operations

Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes - Income before tax for the six months ending June 30, 2010 was $4,137,698 compared to a net loss before tax of $45,571 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase of $4,183,269 or approximately 9,179.7% is primarily due to the change in the warrant derivative liability of $2,698,781 and the higher gross profit driven by our material cost reductions.
We do not anticipate significant increases in sales, general and administration expenses other than those directly attributed to increases in sales such as marketing and sales commissions and our compliance costs as we implement the requirements of Sarbanes Oxley.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
The Company’s primary country of operations is The People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s China operations are determined using the local currency Renminbi (“RMB”) as the functional currency. However, the China operations sells solar products in Euros. The results of transactions in foreign currency are remeasured into the functional currency at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period. Aggregate net foreign currency remeasurements included in the income statement was a loss of $343,331 and a gain of $1,460, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and a loss of $830,544 and a gain of $5,425 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively pri marily due to the decline of the value of the Euro to the RMB.
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 $114,090 and $86,621, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $106,874 and $107,656 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General – Overall, we had an increase in cash flows of $4,312,600 in the six months ending June 30, 2010 resulting from cash provided by financing activities of $6,865,750, offset partially by $2,146,883 of cash used in operating activities and cash used in investing activities of $358,267.
The following is a summary of our cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities during the periods indicated:
| | Six months ended June 30, | | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | |
| | | | | |
Cash at beginning of period | | $ | 9,180,974 | | | $ | 5,092,476 | |
Net cash used in operating activities | | | (2,146,883 | ) | | | (158,466 | ) |
Net cash used in investing activities | | | (358,267 | ) | | | (1,967,317 | ) |
Net cash provided by financing activities | | | 6,865,750 | | | | 1,151,603 | |
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash | | | (48,000 | ) | | | (6,359 | ) |
Cash at end of period | | $ | 13,493,574 | | | $ | 4,111,937 | |
In 2009, our credit line was increased by approximately $775,000 from a line of credit in the amount of $2.25 million with Wells Fargo Bank to $3.025 million, as a result of securing two new credit lines with Bank of the West, one for $2,000,000 and the other for $1,025,000. The credit line with Wells Fargo Bank was subsequently closed. These revolving lines of credit are secured by our assets and guaranteed by certain of our officers. The maturity dates of these two credit lines are May 20, 2010 and June 1, 2011, respectively.
The Company was not in compliance with its bank covenants at June 30, 2010. As a result, the entire balance has been reclassified to a current liability. The Company has the funds to repay this loan if necessary. The bank has given the Company a 90 day extension and is in negotiations with the bank to renew these lines of credit.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities – For the six months ending June 30 2010, net cash used in operations was $2,146,883 compared to net cash used in operations of $158,466 for the six months ending June 30, 2009. The increase in net cash provided by operations was primarily due to net income of $3,594,194 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, and the changes in operating assets and liabilities of $3,338,965 primarily due to increases of $10,685,643 in accounts receivable, accounts payable of $10,762,273, $2,412,685 in inventories, and $1,025,403 in advances to suppliers, and the change in the warrant derivative liability of $2,698,781, offset primarily by the decreases in the VAT tax receivable of $394,681, $123,377 in taxes payable, and th e accrued expenses of $231,575.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities – Net cash used in investing was $358,267 in the six months ending June 30, 2010, compared to net cash used in investing of $1,967,317 in the same period of 2009. The decrease net cash used by investing activities was due to capital expenditures of $1,602,910, and decreases in deposits to restricted accounts of $1,244,643.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities – Net cash flows provided by financing activities in the six months ending June 30, 2010 was $6,865,750 compared to $1,151,603 in 2009. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to proceeds from issuance of common stock and warrants, net of offering costs, of $8,136,583, and proceeds of loan to related party of $50,000, offset primarily by repayment of loan payable to shareholder of $400,000, and repayments of bank loans of $1,020,833.
As we continue to grow our Solar division, we must follow industry trends in regards to extended payment terms to our customers. Typically these market conditions affect the whole supply chain and as extended terms are offered to consumers, favorable terms can be negotiated with the supplier base. Our current cash position allows flexibility to accommodate these market conditions.
Financing – We believe our current working capital position, together with our expected future cash flows from operations will be adequate to fund our operations in the ordinary course of business, anticipated capital expenditures, debt payment requirements and other contractual obligations for at least the next twelve months. However, this belief is based upon many assumptions and is subject to numerous risks, and there can be no assurance that we will not require additional funding in the future.
We expect to have a total of approximately $2,000,000 of capital expenditures for the remainder of 2010 primarily $660,000 to complete the Nantong factory and an additional $550,000 to acquire additional land rights for our new Nantong China facility and $790,000 for continued expansion of our business.
We have no present agreements or commitments with respect to any material acquisitions of other businesses, products, product rights or technologies or any other material capital expenditures. However, we will continue to evaluate acquisitions of and/or investments in products, technologies, capital equipment or improvements or companies that complement our business and may make such acquisitions and/or investments in the future. Accordingly, we may need to obtain additional sources of capital in the future to finance any such acquisitions and/or investments. We may not be able to obtain such financing on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Due to the ongoing global economic crisis, we believe it may be difficult to obtain additional financing if needed. Even if we are able t o obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.
Note Payable – On September 28, 2009, the Company borrowed $400,000 from an employee of the Company for working capital purposes. The note provides for the Company to make a lump sum payment on September 27, 2010, including interest at an annual rate of 4.25%. The borrowing plus interest was repaid on February 9, 2010.
Equity Financing – On January 26, 2010, we entered in a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which we issued and sold 1,777,777 of our common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,777,777 shares of our common stock for $7,292,790, net of offering costs of $707,210. Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., LLC acted as the lead placement agent on the private placement.
On February 9, 2010, we entered into an amendment agreement with approximately 74% of such accredited investors to amend the transaction documents to increase the maximum amount of securities sold to $9,000,000. On February 9, 2010, we entered into a second securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which we issued and sold 193,179 shares of our common stock for $843,793, net of offering costs of $25,514.
The warrants are exercisable for a term of five years at an exercise price of $5.65 per share. The warrants also contain anti-dilution provisions, including but not limited to, if we issue shares of our common stock at less than the then existing conversion price, the conversion price of the warrants will automatically be reduced to such lower price and the number of shares to be issued upon exercise will be proportionately increased. The warrants contain limitations on exercise, including the limitation that the holders may not convert their warrants to the extent that upon exercise the holder, together with our affiliates, would own in excess of 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
In addition, Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., LLC acted as the lead placement agent on the private placement and received warrants to purchase 102,324 shares of the Company’s common stock (warrants to purchase 6,333 shares of common stock were issued to other placement agents at an exercise price of $6.75) (based on 150% of the per share equivalent of $4.50 in the transaction). The warrants vest immediately and have a five year term.
Additionally, as further consideration for the transaction, we, along with the investors, entered into a make good escrow agreement with certain of our insiders who along with the Company placed an aggregate of 1,970,956 shares, that are already issued and outstanding, of our common stock into escrow, to be distributed if certain financial milestones of the Company are not met. Pursuant to the terms of the make good escrow agreement, if the Adjusted EBIDTA reported in our 2010 Annual Report is less than $4,000,000, then the investors shall be entitled to receive on a “pro rata” basis, determined by dividing each investor’s investment amount by the aggregate of all investment amounts delivered to us by the investors, for no consideration other than their part of their respective investment amount at closing, some or all of the escrow shares determined according to the following formula:
For the purposes of the foregoing formula:
A = 2010 Adjusted EBITDA
B = 2010 EBITDA Milestone
C = Total number of shares issued to the selling stockholders
D = 4.50
E = Total Investment Amount
In addition, the agreement states: Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company reports an Adjusted EBITDA of $2,000,000 or less for the year ended December 31, 2010 or the Company fails to file its 2010 10-K with the Commission on or before the last date that such form is required to be filed (after any permitted extensions under the Exchange Act), the “2010 EBITDA Milestone Price” shall equal $2.25 resulting in a potential maximum number of additional shares issued to the investors of 1,970,956.
As of June 30, 2010, although the annualized Adjusted EBITDA milestone calculation indicates that the Company may potentially not meet the milestone, the Company believes that it will still meet the milestone requirements.
PLAN OF OPERATION
We will continue to focus on the expansion of our renewable energy division by the continued development of our newly established solar factory in Ningbo, China as well as the continued quality enhancements of our 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 us our greatest growth and profit potential in both the present and foreseeable future. We presently have enough liquidity to meet our expansion plans. However, depending on growth the Company may need additional funding in the future.
In May 2010, Nantong formed Shanghai Solar to provide design, installation, and consulting for Solar Power Systems. This subsidiary has been created to provide more value add to our customers by providing the System Integration services (the next downstream link in the Solar Value Chain) to complement our PV Solar Module offerings. This service will provide system design work by incorporating and specifying the Balance-of-System (BOS) components with our Amerisolar modules. We have started this endeavor to take advantage of the rapidly growing solar market in China. Operations at this subsidiary are not expected to be material in 2010 and therefore, we have not determined the revenue recognition policies which will apply to this operation.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are currently material or reasonably likely to be material to our financial position or results of operations.
Contractual Obligations
The 1st “Rights for Construction” for our Nantong facility was issued on December 19, 2008 to Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing USA by the Department of Interior of Jiangsu Province, China.
There was an official agreement between the Department of Civil Engineering (in building and constructions) for the city of Nantong and Worldwide Manufacturing Solar Division located in Nantong dated May 27, 2009 in detailing of the construction for the PV solar module manufacturing facility. Agreement details include:
1) | Land usages and rights |
2) | Fees and application process |
4) | All and other related subjects |
An amendment subsequently followed in further requirements and commitments of both parties were executed on May 29, 2009.
The amount of the Agreement is approximately $1.8 million of which approximately $1.4 million has been expended through June 30, 2010.
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, derivative warrant liability, warranty reserve, goodwill and intangibles, stock based compensation, and foreign currency transactions and translation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific assumptions that are be lieved 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:
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
The Company follows the provisions of SAB 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”, for revenue recognition. Under SAB 104, four conditions must be met before revenue can be recognized: (i) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collection is reasonably assured. The Company provides for an allowance for doubtful account based history and experience considering economic and industry trends. The Company does not have any off-Balance Sheet exposure related to its customers.
In May 2010, Nantong formed Shanghai Solar to provide design, installation, and consulting for Solar Power Systems. This subsidiary has been created to provide more value add to our customers by providing the System Integration services (the next downstream link in the Solar Value Chain) to complement our PV Solar Module offerings. This service will provide system design work by incorporating and specifying the Balance-of-System (BOS) components with our Amerisolar modules. We have started this endeavor to take advantage of the rapidly growing solar market in China. Operations at this subsidiary are not expected to be material in 2010 and therefore, we have not determined the revenue recognition policies which will apply to this operation.
Warrant Derivative Liability
The Company issued warrants in connection with the sale of common stock in 2008 and 2010. The Company analyzed the accounting treatment and classification of the warrants and summarized the effects and conclusions. The Company accounts for the warrants pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 815.
Impairment analysis for long-lived assets and intangible assets
The Company’s long-lived assets and other assets (consisting of property and equipment and purchased intangible assets) are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the guidance of the FASB Topic ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment”, and FASB ASC Topic 205 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The Company tests for impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the as set. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Impairment evaluations involve management’s estimates on asset useful lives and future cash flows. Actual useful lives and cash flows could be different from those estimated by management which could have a material effect on our reporting results and financial positions. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. Through June 30, 2010, the Company had not experienced impairment losses on its long-lived assets.
Inventories
Inventories consist of finished goods of manufactured products. 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. The Company has recorded an allowance for slow-moving or obsolete inventory of $80,000 at June 30, 2010.
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
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2010 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission's rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial off icers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.
In light of the material weaknesses described below, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 5) or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management has identified the following three material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of June 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
1. In March 2010, we became aware that we:
· | had failed to recognize a bonus accrual that was earned in 2008. The error had an effect of on our previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 by over stating income and understating liabilities by $206,000. |
· | had failed to recognize a Warrant Derivative Liability we granted in 2008 in connection with our equity raise in June 2008 and July 2008 and the subsequent re-measurement of fair value of the warrants derivative, as required by FASB ASC Topic 815 (codification of Financial Accounting Standards Board (SFAS) 133 and Emerging Issues Task Force 00-19). The error had the a significant effect on our previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, and for each of the quarters for the year ended December 31, 2009. |
· | had failed to properly classify direct labor and overhead as cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2008. We previously classified the direct labor and overhead as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses, a line item in the consolidated statements of operations of our previously issued consolidated financial statements, in the amount of $621,584. |
As a result of identifying these errors, we concluded that accounting adjustments were necessary to correct the previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 and for each of the quarters for the year ended December 31, 2009 and that the reports we filed with the SEC that included the financial statements that reported the erroneous information for that periods should no longer be relied upon. Accordingly, we have restated our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 included with our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2010.
In July 2009, we became aware that we:
· | had failed to record a Goodwill related to our acquisition of Detron in October 2008. The error had an effect of on our previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 by over understating assets and liabilities by $285,000. |
· | had incorrectly recorded a gain on sale of subsidiary in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205 “Presentation of Financial Statements”(codification of SFAS 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets). The error had an effect on our previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 by overstating our gain on disposal of subsidiary by $245,000. |
· | had failed to record an income tax liability. The error had an effect of on our previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 by over overstating our net income and understating our income tax liability by $217,000. |
As a result of identifying these errors, we concluded that accounting adjustments were necessary to correct the previously issued financial statements for the December 31, 2008 and that the reports we filed with the SEC that included the financial statements that reported the erroneous information for that period should no longer be relied upon. We have restated our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 in our filing of our amended Form 10-K filed on August 10, 2009.
We determined that these failures and related re-statements demonstrated the following weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:
● | Accounting and Finance Personnel Weaknesses — The Company lacks appropriate resources within the accounting function. Our accounting staff is comprised of a few people and the department lacks the required skill set, competence, infrastructure and expertise to meet the higher demands of being a public company. This lack of resources has led to a lack of segregation of duties and insufficient attention to the internal control process over financial reporting. |
● | Reliance on Third-Party Professionals: We retained an individual to provide support and accounting advice to the Company for the year ended December 31, 2008. We may not have adequately assessed this individual’s qualifications to ascertain his level of experience to render the services for which we retained the individual. Moreover, we did not adequately monitor the individual’s work and placed undue reliance on its expertise without confirming the accuracy of the finished product. |
Remediation Plan for Material Weakness in Control and Procedures
In light of the foregoing, we have introduced and plan to implement a number of remediation measures to address the material weaknesses described above. Many of these measures are entity level in nature and we believe that the organizational and process changes we intend to adopt will improve our internal controls and governance environment. Management recognizes that many of these enhancements require continual monitoring and evaluation for effectiveness. The development of these actions is an iterative process and will evolve as the Company continues to evaluate and improve our internal controls over financial reporting. Initially, we may be foreclosed from implementing some of the more obvious measures, such as retaining additional accounting personnel who have particular areas of expertise, gi ven our resource constraints. However, as we grow, we expect to adopt and implement those measures and to retain additional qualified personnel as management deems necessary to satisfy our control and governance requirements.
Specifically, we have:
● | In mid-February 2010, we hired a new Big 4 CFO with over 25 years experience working in publicly traded companies (see Biographical Information in Item 10). |
● | In June 2009, we established an audit committee of the Board of Directors. Our audit committee members both qualify as "audit committee financial expert," as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. |
● | In September 2009, we hired an Accounting Manager in our Corporate office to add to the Company’s accounting expertise. With the hiring of our CFO, the Accounting Manager resigned. We have hired a replacement for the Accounting Manager with Big 4 public accounting experience. |
● | In July 2010, we hired a Group Controller/CFO with Big 4 public accounting experience in our China administration office. |
● | We are in the process of documenting our processes and procedures in accordance with the requirements of Section 404 (a) of Sarbanes-Oxley. Upon completion, we will implement the necessary changes. |
Over the balance of the 2010 year, we will undertake an entity-level review of and test our control procedures and analyze the application of our controls and our control environment generally. In addition, we plan to hire additional accounting personnel in China with knowledge of proper accounting rules. We also expect that the audit committee will set a tone for effective entity-wide corporate governance; inspire rigorous, uniform application of our internal controls and provide ongoing oversight of the preparation and review of our financial statements. In addition, we expect that the audit committee will review and propose improvements to our entity level controls and procedures and other process level controls. We believe that the audit committee and our new financial professionals will substantially decrease the possibility of the occurrence of errors in our financial statements.
Management has discussed these material weaknesses with our Board of Directors and will continue to review progress on these activities on a consistent and ongoing basis at the senior management level in conjunction with our Board of Directors. We also plan to take additional steps to elevate Company awareness about, and communication of, these important issues through formal channels such as Company meetings and training.
We cannot assure you at this time that the actions and remediation efforts we have taken or ultimately will implement will effectively remediate the material weakness described above or prevent the incidence of other significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in the future.
These remediation efforts are designed to address the material weakness identified above and to improve and strengthen our overall control environment. We believe these actions will minimize the material weaknesses 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 2010 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 procedure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company hired a new Big 4 CFO and has contracted with 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. The Company has hired additional employees in the United States and China to help management refine such documentation.
