In particular, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “may,” variations of such words, and similar expressions identify forwarding-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements, and their absence does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking.

We do not undertake any obligation to revise these forward-looking statements to reflect any future events or circumstances.

8
due principally to the effectiveness of the PRC government’s stimulus money and policy to boost domestic demand. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company aggressively participated in tendering for engineering projects of power supply companies in different provinces. As a result, sales increased dramatically during the quarter.
Cost of Sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 was $5,008,791, which represents an increase of $1,716,154 (or 52.1%) from $3,292,637 for the comparable 2008 period. The increase in cost of sales is connected to the corresponding increase in revenues for the period. Gross profit for the 2009 three month period was $1,628,901 representing an increase of $924,505 (or $131.2%) from $704,396 for the comparable period in 2008. The increase in gross profit is attributable to the increase in revenues for the 2009 period.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses (which includes salaries and benefits, depreciation and amortization, travel and promotion, technical support and related overhead, among other charges) for the 2009 nine month period were $2,416,659, which represents an increase of $1,543,992 (or 176.9%) from $872,667 for the prior year period. The increase in selling and administrative expenses for the 2009 nine month period was due principally to the $615,000 in salaries of the Company’s CEO and Secretary in 2009 compared with $0 for the 2008 period, and professional fees of $435,000 in 2009 compared with $0 in the prior period. Additional changes include research & development ($154,655 for the 2009 period compared with $19,520 for the 2008 period), bad debt expense (expense of $512 for the current period versus a prior year credit of $73,951), travel and promotion ($190,831 for the 2009 period compared with $120,542 for the 2008 period), depreciation and amortization ($191,550 for the 2009 period compared with $153,775 for the 2008 period), and other miscellaneous charges ($194,495 for the 2009 period compared with $125,074 for the 2008 period).
During the 2009 period: fuel prices decreased slightly compared with the same period of last year but the increase in sales volume beyond Guangdong Province kept the transportation cost at the same level as last year’s; in order to mitigate the impact of the global financial crisis, management increased the expenses for public relations; the Company lowered advertising cost; the Company actively participated in tendering for engineering projects that are mostly funded through the governments’ stimulus money and correspondingly the Company’s tendering expenses increased; research and development increased from the prior period for the development of new switchgears.
The selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $1,121,791, which represents an increase of $870,748 (or 346.9%) from $251,043 for the prior year period. The increase for this 2009 period is principally because the Company accrued $265,000 for yearly salaries of our CEO and Secretary in 2009 and $335,000 in certain professional fees and expenses relating to its public company status compared to no expense in 2008.

The increase in other expenses for the 2009 nine month period was due primarily to a loss on currency exchange on equipment purchases using European currency.

Current Trends in the Industry
Since 2003 we have experienced a decrease in our sales due to the increased supply of lower grade pirated products being produced. We expect this trend to continue and, in order for us to retain our market share and increase and surpass revenues levels previously achieved, we will have to regain our competitive edge by directing resources into product innovation and refinement, research and development, marketing and advertising. We will also focus on maintaining good customer relations by providing what we believe to be a higher level of customer service. We wish to attract new customers by providing this level of service consistently throughout the life of the contract.
We have been able to retain our market share and expect to increase our customer base and level of sales with existing methods of marketing, sales staff and customer service that we currently provide. We view customer service as the most important factor in our marketing mix. As mentioned above “Trends in the Industry”, with new developments in rural areas, the PRC will be accepting bids to service such areas to establish electrical networks. We anticipate such new developments will increase our sales by 25% per year for fiscal 2009 year end. A majority of our sales are generated through existing customer base by referrals however with these new developments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2009, we had working capital of $1,291,087 compared to working capital of $2,208,696 as of December 31, 2008. The decrease is due principally to the decrease of cash reserve and the increase in accounts payable, partially offset by a increase in accounts receivable.
Over the next three months, we will require approximately $5,000,000 to sustain our working capital needs as follows, based on projected sales of $6,700,000:
| | | | |
Materials, Labor, Overhead | | $ | 4,200,000 | |
| | | | |
Selling Expenses and Administrative Expenses | | $ | 800,000 | |
| | | |
| | | | |
Total | | $ | 5,000,000 | |
Sources of Capital
We expect our revenues generated from operations to cover our projected working capital needs; however, if additional capital is needed, we will explore financing options such as shareholder loans. Shareholder loans are without stated terms of repayment. In the past, we have been charged interest at the rate of 6% per annum. We have no formal agreement that ensures that we will receive such loans. In the event shareholder loans are not available, we may seek long or short term financing from local banks. Presently, we do no have any credit facilities outstanding with any banks.
11
Material Commitments
We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures other than the engineering expenditure for Asia Electrical Power Industrial Zone.
Seasonal Aspect
Our business is seasonal in that sales are particularly low in February, due to the Chinese New Year holiday, during which time our business is closed for up to 2 weeks. Sales in March are usually higher than usual levels as a result.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off balance sheet arrangements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in the annual report for the year ended December 31, 2008. We prepare our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the financial reporting period. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. We consider the policies discussed below to be critical to an understanding of our financial statements as their application places the most significant demands on our management’s judgment.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (FAS 157). While this statement does not require new fair value measurements, it provides guidance on applying fair value and expands required disclosures. FAS 157 was effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. This pronouncement should not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In February 2008, FASB issued “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2 (FSP No. 157-2). FSP No. 157-2 delayed the effective date of FAS 157 until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, for fair value measurements of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in an entity’s financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).
12
In February 2007, FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (FAS 159). The statement, which is expected to expand fair value measurement, permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain others items at fair value. FAS 159 was effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2009. This pronouncement should not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In March 2008, FASB issued FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. We do not expect the adoption of FAS No. 161 to have a material impact on our financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements
We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our own shares and classified as shareholder’s equity, or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. Moreover, we do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when product is delivered to customers. In determining delivery, consideration is given to the following: whether an arrangement exists with the buyer; whether delivery has occurred; whether the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and that collection is reasonably assured. No provision is made for any right of return that may exist as the criteria specified in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 48 have been met.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the provisions of FAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” as described in Note 12 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their recorded amount, an adjustment to our deferred tax assets would increase our income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, if we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to our deferred tax assets would be charged to our income in the period such determination is made. We record income tax expense on our taxable income using the
13
balance sheet liability method at the effective rate applicable in China in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
Not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
