Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
We have reviewed the accompanying interim balance sheets of Shengkai Innovations, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-month periods then ended, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of Shengkai Innovations, Inc.
A review consists principally of inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
(h) | Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets |
The Group periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances warrant such a review, pursuant to the guidelines established in SFAS No. 144. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognised based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost to dispose.
During the reporting periods, there was no impairment loss.
(i) | Inventories |
Inventories consist of finished goods, work in progress and raw materials, and are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Substantially all inventory costs are determined using the weighted average basis. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead.
(j) | Cash and cash equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains bank accounts in the PRC and Hong Kong. The Company does not maintain any bank accounts in the United States of America.

(k) | Revenue recognition |
Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold recognized upon the delivery of goods to customers. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
- Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
- Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
- The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and
- Collection is reasonably assured.
Net revenue is recognized when customer takes delivery and acceptance of products, the price is fixed or determinable as stated on sales contract, and the collectibility is reasonably assured.
(l) | Costs of sales |
Cost of sales consists primarily of direct material costs, direct labor cost, direct depreciation and related direct expenses attributable to the production of products. Written-down of inventory to lower of cost or market is also reflected in cost of revenues.
(m) | Advertising |
The Company expensed all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses included in the selling expenses were $19,499 and $20,051 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 respectively.
(n) | Research and development costs |
The Company expensed all research and development costs as incurred. Research and development expenses included in the general and administrative expenses were $222,167 and $20,271 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 respectively.
(o) | Retirement benefit plans |
The employees of the Company are members of a state-managed retirement benefit plan operated by the government of the PRC. The Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll costs to the retirement benefit scheme to fund the benefits. The only obligation of the Company with respect to the retirement benefit plan is to make the specified contributions. |
Retirement benefits in the form of contributions under defined contribution retirement plans to the relevant authorities are charged to the statements of income as incurred. The retirement benefit expenses included in and the general and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were nil and $30,847 respectively.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
(p) | Income tax |
The Group accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach and allows for recognition of deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income taxes purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Group is able to realize their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.
(q) | Foreign currency translation |
The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The reporting currency of the Group is the U.S. dollar (USD). SK Ceramic Valves and Shengkai use its local currency, Renminbi (RMB), as its functional currency. Results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the end of period exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.
The PRC government imposes significant exchange restrictions on fund transfers out of the PRC that are not related to business operations. These restrictions have not had a material impact on the Group because it has not engaged in any significant transactions that are subject to the restrictions.
The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into USD for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:
December 31, 2008 | |
Balance sheet | RMB 6.8542 to US$1.00 |
Statements of income | RMB 6.8531 to US$1.00 |
June 30, 2008 | |
Balance sheet | RMB 6.8718 to US$1.00 |
Statements of income | RMB 7.2906 to US$1.00 |
December 31, 2007 | |
Balance sheet | RMB 7.3141 to US$1.00 |
Statements of income | RMB 7.5063 to US$1.00 |
The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rates used in translation.

The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.
(s) | Statutory reserves |
As stipulated by the PRC’s Company Law and as provided in the SK Ceramic Valves, and Shengkai’s Articles of Association, SK Ceramic Valves, and Shengkai’s net income after taxation can only be distributed as dividends after appropriation has been made for the following:
(i) | Making up cumulative prior years’ losses, if any; |

(iii) | Allocations of 5-10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to the Company's “Statutory common welfare fund”, which is restricted for capital expenditure for the collective benefits of the Company's employees; and |
(iv) | Allocations to the discretionary surplus reserve, if approved in the shareholders’ general meeting. |
On December 31, 2003, Shengkai established a statutory surplus reserve as well as a statutory common welfare fund and commenced to appropriate 10% and 5%, respectively of the PRC net income after taxation to these reserves. The amounts included in the statutory reserves were surplus reserve of $4,691,725 as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008.

(u) | Recent accounting pronouncements |
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 160 on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect |
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), "Business Combinations”. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, an any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 141(R) on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect. |
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. SFAS 161 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 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 161 on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 directs the GAAP hierarchy to the entity, not the independent auditors, as the entity is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to remove the GAAP hierarchy from the auditing standards. SFAS 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

10. | PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS |
On June 11, 2008, the Company sold 5,915,526 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and various stock purchase warrants for cash consideration totaling $15 million dollars (the “June 2008 Financing”). The exercise price, expiration date and number of share eligible to be purchased with the warrants are summarized in the following table:
Series of warrant | Number of shares | Exercise price | Contractual term |
Series A | 7,098,632 | $3.52 | 5.0 years |
The Series A preferred stock has liquidation rights senior to common stock and to any other class or series of stock issued by the Company not designated as ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series A Preferred Share. In the event of a liquidation of the Company, holders of Series A preferred stock are entitled to receive a distribution equal to $2.5357 per share of Series A preferred stock prior to any distribution to the holders of common stock or any other stock that ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Shares. The Preferred Shareholders are not entitled to dividends unless paid to Common Shareholders. Any dividend paid will have the same record and payment date and terms as the dividend payable to the Common Stock. The Series A preferred stock will participate based on their respective as-if conversion rates if the Company declares any dividends. Holders of Series A Preferred Shares also have voting rights required by applicable law and the relevant number of votes shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares. At any time, the Preferred Stock is convertible into 1 share of Common Stock adjusted from time to time to the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate is computed as the Liquidation Preference Amount ($2.5357 per share) divided by the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price is initially $2.5357 per share but can adjust for anti-dilution.
The Warrants were issued at an exercise price of $3.52 per share. The exercise price can adjust for dilutive events. The Warrants are immediately exercisable. However, if after exercise the holder would become a holder of greater than 9.9% of common stock they cannot exercise without filing a waiver with the company. The waiver is required to be filed 61 days prior to exercise and by filing the waiver the restriction is removed. (Since the company is required to accept the waiver this restriction is not considered significant in valuing the warrant.) The Warrants expire 5 years from the date of issuance. The Warrants are freely transferable upon registration. The Warrants are subject to the same Registration Rights Agreement as that of the Preferred Stock. If a registration statement providing for the resale of the Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant is not declared effective after 180 days after the issuance date, the Warrants can be cashless exercised. Also, the Warrants have Buy-in Rights similar to those of the Preferred Stock.

10. | PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS (Continued) |
The gross proceeds of the transaction were $15 million. The proceeds from the transaction were allocated to the Series A preferred stock, warrants and beneficial conversion feature based on the relative fair value of the securities. The Company evaluated whether a relative fair value approach or residual fair value approach was more appropriate given the terms and accounting treatment related to the financial instruments involved. Given that the Warrants will not be classified as a liability, the relative fair value method was used. The Warrants were first valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company valued the Warrants at issuance at $1.84 per warrant with the following assumptions: common stock fair market value of $2.55, expected life of 5 year, volatility of 100% and an interest rate of 4.5%.
The Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature discount on the Series A preferred stock at its intrinsic value, which was the fair value of the common stock at the commitment date for the Series A preferred stock investment, less the effective conversion price but limited to the $15 million of proceeds received from the sale. The Company recognized the $7.8 million beneficial conversion feature in the equity as a transfer from retained earnings to additional paid in capital as dividends in the accompanying consolidated financial statements on the date of issuance of the Series A preferred shares since the Series A preferred shares were convertible at the issuance date.
On July 18, 2008 the Company sold 1,971,842 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and various stock purchase warrants for cash consideration totaling $5 million dollars (the “July 2008 Financing”). The exercise price, expiration date and number of share eligible to be purchased with the warrants are summarized in the following table:
Series of warrant | Number of shares | Exercise price | Contractual term |
Series A | 2,366,211 | $3.52 | 5.0 years |
The Series A preferred stock has liquidation rights senior to common stock and to any other class or series of stock issued by the Company not designated as ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series A Preferred Share. In the event of a liquidation of the Company, holders of Series A preferred stock are entitled to receive a distribution equal to $2.5357 per share of Series A preferred stock prior to any distribution to the holders of common stock or any other stock that ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Shares.

Also, the Warrants have Buy-in Rights similar to those of the Preferred Stock.
The gross proceeds of the transaction were $5 million. The proceeds from the transaction were allocated to the Series A preferred stock, warrants and beneficial conversion feature based on the relative fair value of the securities. The Company evaluated whether a relative fair value approach or residual fair value approach was more appropriate given the terms and accounting treatment related to the financial instruments involved. Given that the Warrants will not be classified as a liability, the relative fair value method was used. The Warrants were first valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

The Company recognized the $2.6 million beneficial conversion feature in the equity as a transfer from retained earnings to additional paid in capital as dividends in the accompanying consolidated financial statements on the date of issuance of the Series A preferred shares since the Series A preferred shares were convertible at the issuance date.
In connection with the June 2008 Financing and the July 2008 Financing, in the event of the Company’s failure to timely convert, additional damages would become due. In the event the Company does not have sufficient shares or is prohibited by law or regulation, then the holder can require cash redemption. The redemption price would equal 130% of the Liquidation Preference Amount plus additional amounts based on the difference between the bid prices on the conversion date and the date the Company has sufficient shares. The holder can also void the conversion or exercise its Buy-in Rights. The Buy-in-Rights entitle the holder to be protected in the case that the Company is unable to deliver the shares upon conversion while the holder has transacted to sell such underlying shares to a third party. In addition, in the event of a merger, consolidation or similar capital reorganization (prior to conversion) the holders can request to be redeemed at 110% of liquidation value.
Further, if the Company fails to obtain a listing on NASDAQ or the American Exchange, then 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the company will be given to the investors. The company is accounting for these penalties in accordance with FAS 5 - Accounting for Contingencies, whereby the penalty will not be recorded as a liability until and if it is probable the penalty will be incurred. No penalty has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for this instance.

14. | FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, accounts payable, and other payables, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments and market rates of interest available to the Group.
15. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCY |
The Company entered into an agreement with a technology development company to purchase a computer system in improving the quality of ceramic valve production (the Computer System) during the third quarter of 2007. The Company expected the Computer System would be delivered within 2 years and the total costs were $8,544,330 (RMB60,000,000). The Company had already paid $4,272,165 (RMB30,000,000) for the Computer System and committed to pay the balance during next nine months.
16. | SEGMENT INFORMATION |
The Group is principally engaged in one segment of the manufacturing and selling of ceramic valve in the PRC. Nearly all revenues are generated in PRC and nearly all identifiable assets of the Group are located in the PRC. Accordingly, no segmental analysis is presented.
17. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
The Company successfully won a bid on a land use right over a plot of land approximately 43,566.3 square meters in size in October 2008.

Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
In this quarterly report, references to “Shengkai,” “SKII,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Shengkai Innovations, Inc.
We make certain forward-looking statements in this report. Statements concerning our future operations, prospects, strategies, financial condition, future economic performance (including growth and earnings), demand for our services, and other statements of our plans, beliefs, or expectations, including the statements contained under the captions “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Business,” as well as captions elsewhere in this document, are forward-looking statements. In some cases these statements are identifiable through the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “can”, “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The forward-looking statements we make are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to various assumptions, risks, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by these forward-looking statements. Because such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Indeed, it is likely that some of our assumptions will prove to be incorrect. Our actual results and financial position will vary from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements and the variances may be material. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties, together with the other risks described from time to time in reports and documents that we file with the SEC should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements.
The nature of our business makes predicting the future trends of our revenue, expenses, and net income difficult. Thus, our ability to predict results or the actual effect of our future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. The risks and uncertainties involved in our business could affect the matters referred to in any forward-looking statements and it is possible that our actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results indicated in these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the following:
· | the effect of political, economic, and market conditions and geopolitical events; |
· | legislative and regulatory changes that affect our business; |
· | the availability of funds and working capital; |
· | the actions and initiatives of current and potential competitors; |
· | investor sentiment; and |
· | our reputation. |
We do not undertake any responsibility to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to take into account events or circumstances that occur after the date of this report. Additionally, we do not undertake any responsibility to update you on the occurrence of any unanticipated events which may cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as filed with the SEC and other financial information contained elsewhere in this Report.
Overview
We were incorporated in Florida on December 8, 2004 and have since undergone a change in business. In October 2008, our shareholders approved our name change from “Southern Sauce Company, Inc.” to “Shengkai Innovations, Inc.”
As a result of the reverse merger, financing and related transactions described in our current report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on June 23, 2008, the Company ceased to be a shell company and became a holding company for entities that, through contractual relationships, control the business of Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Co., Ltd, a company organized under the laws of the PRC that designs, manufactures and sells ceramic valves. Because Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Co., Ltd.’s operations are the only significant operations of the Company and its affiliates, this discussion and analysis focuses on the business results of Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Co., Ltd., comparing its results in the three months and six months ended December 31, 2008 to the three months and six months ended December 31, 2007.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operation of the Company for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this registration statement. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors, Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in this registration statement. We use terms such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.
General
Shengkai, the entity through which we run our operations, is a prominent ceramic valve manufacturer. We have more than 14 years of experience and possess a unique method for creating ceramic valves.
We believe that Shengkai is the one of the few ceramic valve manufacturers in the world with research and development, engineering, and production capacity for structural ceramics. Shengkai’s product categories include a broad range of valves in all industries that are sold throughout China, to North America, and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Totaling over 300 customers, Shengkai became a supplier of the CPCC in 2005 and a member of the PetroChina supply network in 2006, after a six-year application process.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Six Months Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
Revenue
Revenue for six months ended December 31, 2008 was $17,340,054, an increase of $3,129,243 or 22% from $14,210,811 for the comparable period in 2007. Similar to the same period of our last fiscal year, approximately 98% of our source of revenue came from customers in the electric power, petrochemical and chemical and metallurgy industries. The electric power industry was still the significant market to our revenue, contributing approximately 78.0% of total revenue for six months ended December 31, 2008. Revenue from the electric power industry was approximately $13.5 million for six months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of approximately $3.0 million or 28.6% from approximately $10.5 million for the comparable period in 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to the broadening of our customer base and increased orders from existing customers. Revenue from the petrochemical and chemical industry was approximately $2.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of approximately $1.9 million or 190% from approximately $1.0 million for the comparable period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to our focus on the petrochemical industry as our new sales market and the strengthening of marketing efforts in this area. Revenue from the metallurgy industry, aluminum industry and other industries was approximately $0.9 million for six months ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of approximately $1.8 million or 66.7% from approximately $2.7 million for the comparable period in 2007. This decrease was primarily attributable to some projects being cancelled as a result of negative influences of the economic crisis.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for six months ended December 31, 2008 was $10,328,393, an increase of $1,897,179 or 22.5% compared to $8,431,214 for the comparable period in 2007. The gross profit margin for six months ended December 31, 2008 also increased slightly to 59.6% from 59.3% for the comparable period in 2007.
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses for six months ended December 31, 2008 was $1,756,476, an increase of $409,099 or 30.4%, from $1,347,377 for the comparable period in 2007. The major selling expense was commission paid to the agents for introducing new customers to us, which was approximately $1.43 million at December 31, 2008, an increase of approximately $0.23 million or 19.2% from approximately $1.20 million in December 31, 2007. Another major selling expense was exhibition expense which was $195,377 in December 31, 2008, an increase of $185,930 from $9,447 in December 31, 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to more frequent attendance at exhibitions to find new local and oversea customers.
5
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for six months ended December 31, 2008 were $1,102,185, an increase of $319,869 or 40,9% compared to $782,316 for the comparable period in 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in technology development expense, from $3,790 to $222,167 over the comparable periods of 2007 and 2008, representing an increase of $218,377 or 5761.9%. Another reason was the increase in the expenses related to preparation for the financing and related transactions described in our current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 24, 2008.
Interest expense
There was no interest expense for six months ended December 31, 2008 or the comparable period in 2007.

Comparison of Three Months Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
Revenue
Revenue for three months ended December 31, 2008 was $8,142,807, an increase of $537,353 or 7.1% from $7,605,454 for the comparable period in 2007. Similar to the comparable period of our last fiscal year, approximately 98.4% of our source of revenue came from customers in the electric power, petrochemical and chemical and metallurgy industries. The electric power industry was still the most significant market to our revenue, contributing approximately 79.8% of total revenue for three months ended December 31, 2008. Revenue from the electric power industry was approximately $6.5 million for three months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of approximately $1.0 million or 18.2% from approximately $5.5 million for the comparable period in 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to the broadening of our customer base. Revenue from the petrochemical and chemical industries was approximately $1.5 million for three months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of approximately $1.0 million or 200% from approximately $0.5 million for the comparable period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to our focus on the petrochemical industry as our new sales market and the strengthening of marketing efforts in this area. Revenue from metallurgy industry, aluminum industry and other industries was approximately $0.1 million for three months ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of approximately $1.5 million or 93.8% from approximately $1.6 million for the comparable period in 2007. This decrease was primarily attributable to some projects being cancelled as a result of negative influences of the economic crisis.

The gross profit margin for three months ended December 31, 2008 decreased slightly to 58.2% from 59.4% for the comparable period in 2007. This was primarily attributable to costs related to the provision of sample products and promotional discounts to new customer to increase their confidence in our products.
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses for three months ended December 31, 2008 was $885,639, a slight decrease of $2,750 or 0.3% from $888,389 for the comparable period in 2007. The selling expenses over these two comparable periods were relatively stable.
6
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for three months ended December 31, 2008 were $505,699, an increase of $89,773 or 21.6% compared to $415,926 for the comparable period in 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in technology development expense, from $184 to $112,276 over the comparable periods of 2007 and 2008, representing an increase of $112,092.
Interest expense
There was no interest expense for three months ended December 31, 2008 or the comparable period in 2007.

The PRC government decreased the income tax rate on enterprises from 33% to 25% beginning January 1, 2008, which reduced income tax expenses by nearly $0.3 million from those expenses that would have been incurred if the previous tax rate was applied.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Cash Equivalent
Our cash and cash equivalents were $21,313,484 at the beginning of the year July 1, 2008 and increased to $30,601,824 at the six months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $9,288,340 or 43.6%. The net change in cash and cash equivalents represented an increase of 484.4% or $7,699,026 from $1,589,314 for the comparable period in 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in cash provided by financing activities.
Net cash provided by operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $5,251,385 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $1,689,025 or 47.4% from $3,562,360 for the comparable period in 2007.

Capital Expenditures
In October 2008, we successfully won a bid on a land use right over a plot of land approximately 43,566.3 square meters in size. The land is located in Tianjin, China and the bid price is RMB12.6 million (approximately $1.8 million). The formal contract was signed with the government on Jan 23, 2009. A deposit of RMB 2.52 million (approximately $360,000) was paid upon execution of the contract, with the balance of the bid price to be paid in full by March 25, 2009, and with additional utilities expenses in the approximate amount of US$2 million to be settled at that time. The purpose of the acquisition of land is for expansion of production capacity. Such expansion of production capacity, once completed, would substantially increase our capital expenditures.
Inflation
We believe that inflation has not had a material or significant impact on our revenue or our results of operations.
Contractual Obligations
We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2008, and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.
Totals | Less Than 1 Year | 1 to 3 Years | Thereafter | ||||||||||
Capital expenditures (1) | $ | $4,272,165 | $ | $4,272,165 | $ | - |
(1) Capital expenditure is commitment for the purchase of computer systems and patent applications. See Note 15 – Commitments and Contingency in the notes to the financial statements, included elsewhere in this report. The Company entered into an agreement with a technology development company to purchase a computer system in improving the quality of ceramic valve production (the “Company System”) on August 26, 2007. The Company expects the computer system to be delivered within 2 years and the total costs were $8,544,330 (RMB60,000,000). As of December 31, 2008, the Company has already paid $4,272,165 (RMB30,000,000) for the Computer System and is committed to pay the balance over the next nine months.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates (See Note 2 in the Notes to Financial Statements).
Revenue recognition
Net revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold recognized upon the delivery of goods to customers, net of value added tax (“VAT”), after allowances for returns and discounts and the value of services rendered. Revenue is recognized when the following four criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
8
Intangible assets
Intangible assets represent land use rights, patent rights and other assets (such as use of software) in the PRC. Land use rights are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of rights of 50 years commencing from the date of acquisition of equitable interest. Patent rights are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of rights of 10 years commencing from the date of acquisition of equitable interest.
Foreign currency translation
The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of Shengkai is the Renminbi (RMB). The financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.
New Financial Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, where fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The standard does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
In September 2007, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, which provides guidance on the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. In SAB No. 108, the SEC staff establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statement errors, under both the iron-curtain and the roll-over methods, based on the effects of the error on each of the Company’s financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. SAB No.108 is generally effective for annual financial statements in the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2007. The transition provisions of SAB No. 108 permits existing public companies to record the cumulative effect in the first year ending after November 15, 2007 by recording correcting adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year with the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings.
In February 2007, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. (“SFAS”) 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Entities that elect the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with a few exceptions. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The requirements of SFAS 159 are effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2008.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 160 on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), "Business Combinations”. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, an any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 141(R) on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.
9
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. SFAS 161 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 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 161 on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.
The management of the Company does not anticipate that the adoption of these three standards will have a material impact on these financial statements.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission's rules and forms.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of the Company’s management, including Wang Chen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), 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 six months ended December 31, 2008. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO 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, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that no change occurred in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
