FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND 2011
(Stated in US Dollars)
1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
Shengkai Innovations, Inc. (“SKII”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on December 8, 2004. Prior to June 9, 2008, SKII has only nominal operations and assets. On October 23, 2008, SKII changed its name from Southern Sauce Company, Inc. to Shengkai Innovations, Inc.
On June 9, 2008, SKII executed a reverse merger with Shen Kun International Limited (“Shen Kun”) by an exchange of shares whereby SKII issued 10,275,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 par value in exchange for all Shen Kun shares. Immediately after the closing of the reverse merger, SKII had a total of 11,056,250 shares of common stock outstanding, with the Shen Kun shareholders (and their assignees) owning approximately 92.9% of the outstanding common stock on a non-diluted basis. Shen Kun became a wholly-owned subsidiary of SKII. (All common stock based data in the financial statements and accompanying notes has been retroactively restated to reflect the Reverse Stock Split effected on March 9, 2012. Please refer to Note 18.)
The exchange transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations” (formerly included under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations). For financial reporting purposes, this transaction is classified as a recapitalization of SKII and Shen Kun. The accompanying consolidated financial statements were retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the recapitalization of the financial statements of SKII and the historical financial statements of Shen Kun. The 781,250 shares of Shengkai Innovations, Inc. outstanding prior to this stock exchange transaction were accounted for at the net book value at the time of the transaction, which was a deficit of $62,206. The consolidated statements of operations include the results of operations of Tianjin Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Co., Ltd. and Shengkai (Tianjin) Limited for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
Shen Kun formed Sheng Kai (Tianjin) Ceramic Valves Co., Ltd., on April 9, 2008 in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) which was renamed to Shengkai (Tianjin) Limited in April 2010 (“SK WFOE”).SK WFOE entered into a series of agreements with Tianjin Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Co., Ltd (“Tianjin Shengkai”) including but not limited to consigned management agreement, technology service agreement, loan agreement, exclusive purchase option agreement, equity pledge agreement, etc. The agreements were entered on May 30, 2008. As a result of entering the abovementioned agreements, SK WFOE is deemed to control Tianjin Shengkai as a variable interest entity as required by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10 (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised March 2003) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities -- an Interpretation of ARB No. 51).
Tianjin Shengkai, our operating entity, was organized as a collective-owned enterprise under the laws of the PRC on June 7, 1994 under the name Tianjin Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Company. On May 6, 1999, Tianjin Shengkai’s business was reorganized as a limited liability company under its current name, Tianjin Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Co., Ltd.
Shengkai (Tianjin) Trading Ltd., which is wholly-owned by SK WFOE, was organized as a corporation under the laws of the PRC on June 25, 2010 with a total registered capital of RMB500,000. Shengkai (Tianjin) Trading Ltd. is primarily engaged in the international trading of non-valve products to better serve the Company’s international customers. It has not started operations as of September 30, 2012.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of presentation and method of accounting

The Company maintains its general ledger and journals with the accrual method accounting for financial reporting purposes. The financial statements and notes are representations of management. Accounting policies adopted by the Company conform to U.S. GAAP and have been consistently applied in the presentation of financial statements.

(Stated in US Dollars)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(c) Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting 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.
(d) Economic and political risks
The Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
(e) Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents amounts held by a bank as security for bank acceptance notes and therefore is not available for the Company’s use. The restricted cash is expected to be released within the next six months.
(f) Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectability of accounts receivable. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of the allowance. The Company considers the historical level of credit losses and applies percentages to aged receivable categories. The Company makes judgments about the creditworthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations, and monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future. Beginning from the year ended June 30, 2011, the management established the general provisioning policy to make allowance equivalent to 100% of accounts receivable aged over 1 year. Additional specific provision is made against accounts receivable to the extent which they are considered to be doubtful.
Bad debts are written off when identified after exhaustive efforts at collection. The Company does not accrue interest on accounts receivable. If accounts receivable are provided for, they would be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within operating expenses.
The Company sells its products to both agents/distributors and end-users. Normally the Company requires payment on delivery for agents/distributors. Usual credit term to end-user customers is about 1 to 3 months after receipt and acceptance of goods by customers. 5%-10% of total contract price may be retained from payment until the warranty (usually up to 1.5 years) expires.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(g) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings | 20 – 40 years |
Machinery and equipment | 3 – 20 years |
Office equipment | 3 – 10 years |
Motor vehicles | 10 years |
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
(h) Construction in progress
Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction incurred. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to property, plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until it is completed and ready for intended use.
(i) Land use rights
According to PRC laws, the government owns all the land in the PRC. Companies or individuals are authorized to possess and use the land only through land use rights granted by the PRC government. Land use rights are being amortized using the straight-line method over the term of rights of 50 years commencing from the date of acquisition.
(j) Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets include patent rights and software costs which are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization expense is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. 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. Software costs are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period from 3 to 10 years.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(k) Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets
The Company 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144 (now known as "ASC 360"). 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 recognized 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.
(l) Inventories
Inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the weighted average basis and includes all expenditures incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale and putting them in a saleable condition. In case of manufacturing inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any applicable selling expenses. The Company has no reserve for inventories for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
(m) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and bank deposits with original maturities of nine months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use. The Company maintains bank accounts in the U.S.A., mainland China and Hong Kong.

(n) Fair value of financial instruments
FASB ASC 820 (formerly SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements) establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market
These tiers include:
• | Level 1—defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; |
• | Level 2—defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and |
• | Level 3—defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. |
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, other receivables, advances to suppliers, accounts payable, notes payable, other payables and accrued expenses and advances from customers, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Accounting guidance on fair value measurement and disclosures permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. It was effective for fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009. Upon its adoption and at this time, we do not intend to reflect any of our current financial instruments at fair value (except that we are required to carry our derivative financial instruments at fair value). However, we will consider the appropriateness of recognizing financial instruments at fair value on a case by case basis in future periods.
The summary of fair values of financial instruments as of September 30 and June 30, 2012 are as follows:
September 30, 2012 | |||||||||||||
Instrument | Fair Value | Carrying Value | Level | Valuation Methodology | |||||||||
Derivative warrant liabilities | $ | 784 | $ | 784 | 3 | Black-Scholes | |||||||

(o) Revenue recognition
Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold and is 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.
There were no sales returns and allowances for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. The Company does not provide unconditional right of return, price protection or any other concessions to its customers.
(p) 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. Write-down of inventory to lower of cost or market is also reflected in cost of revenues.
(q) Advertising
The Company expensed all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses included in the selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $0 and $0, respectively.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(r) Warranty expense
The Company generally provides one year warranty to most customers, or in some cases up to one and a half years. Historically warranty expense has been maintained at a very low percentage of sales revenue; therefore the Company does not accrue, but expenses all warranty expenses as incurred under selling expenses. The Company is closely monitoring warranty expense and will start to accrue it as soon as we identify that warranty expense regularly reaches certain percentage of total revenue. Warranty expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $53,080 and $41,735, respectively.
(s) 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 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $159,210 and $315,191, respectively.
(t) 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 operations as incurred. The retirement benefit expenses included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $67,102 and $69,990 respectively.
(u) Share-based compensation
Share-based compensation includes 1) stock options and common stock awards granted to employees and directors for services, and are accounted for under FASB ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation", and 2) warrants and common stock awards granted to consultants which are accounted for under FASB ASC 505-50 "Equity-Based Payment to Non-employees".
All grants of common stock awards and stock options/warrants to employees, directors and consultants are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values. The Company has elected to recognize compensation expense using the straight-line method for all common stock awards and stock options/warrants granted with service conditions that have a graded vesting schedule, with a corresponding charge to additional paid-in capital.
The Company estimates fair value of common stock awards based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant.

(Stated in US Dollars)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(u) Share-based compensation (continued)
The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes model. The Company's expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock as well as historical volatility of comparable public companies, due to its relatively short trading history. The expected life assumption is presumed to be the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term, as is permitted for "plain vanilla" employee stock options. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
FASB ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in the subsequent period if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates. Forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical and future expectation of employee turnover rate and are adjusted to reflect future change in circumstances and facts, if any. Share-based compensation expense is recorded net of estimated forfeitures such that expenses were recorded only for those stock options and common stock awards that are expected to vest.
(v) Income tax
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
The Company uses FASB ASC 740 (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”)) – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The Interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FASB ASC 740, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. At September 30 and June 30, 2012, the Company did not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
(w) Value-added tax (“VAT”)
Enterprises or individuals, who sell commodities, engage in repair and maintenance or import or export goods in the PRC are subject to a value-added tax in accordance with the PRC laws. The standard value-added tax rate is 17% of the gross sales price and the Company records its revenue net of VAT. A credit is available whereby VAT paid on the purchases of semi-finished products or raw materials used in the production of the Company’s finished products can be used to offset the VAT due on the sales of the finished products. Therefore, the amounts of VAT recoverable included in other receivables on the balance sheets represent the excess of VAT paid on purchases over the VAT due on sales at September 30 and June 30, 2012, respectively, which can be used to offset future VAT that is due on sales.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(x) Foreign currency translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“US$” or “$”), while the functional currency of the Company is Renminbi (“RMB”), as determined based on the criteria of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters”. The consolidated 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. The resulting transaction adjustments are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income with in shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net income.
The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into USD for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:
September 30, 2012 | |
Balance sheet | RMB 6.3265 to US$1.00 |
Statement of operations and comprehensive income | RMB 6.3257 to US$1.00 |
June 30, 2012 | |
Balance sheet | RMB 6.3143 to US$1.00 |
Statement of operations and comprehensive income | RMB 6.3519 to US$1.00 |
September 30, 2011 | |
Balance sheet | RMB 6.40180 to US$1.00 |
Statement of operations and comprehensive income | RMB 6.42305 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.
(y) Cash and concentration of risk
Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in bank accounts. Total cash in the banks at September 30 and June 30, 2012 amounted to $66,736,409 and $64,816,532, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant financial institution risks on its cash in bank accounts. Also see Note 3 for credit risk details.
(z) Statutory reserves
As stipulated by the PRC’s Company Law and as provided in SK WFOE and Tianjin Shengkai’s Articles of Association, SK WFOE and Tianjin 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; | |
(ii) | Allocations to the “Statutory surplus reserve” of at least 10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, until the fund amounts to 50% of the Company's registered capital, which is restricted for set off against losses, expansion of production and operation or increase in registered capital; |

(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, Tianjin 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 $11,196,604 and $11,196,604 as at September 30 and June 30, 2012, respectively.
(aa) Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company’s current component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.
(ab) Recent accounting pronouncements
In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 is intended to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is "more likely than not" that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%.
ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance.
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU No. 2011-11 is intended to provide enhanced disclosures that will enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position. This includes the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with an entity’s recognized assets and recognized liabilities within the scope of this Update. The amendments require enhanced disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented.

(ab) Recent accounting pronouncements (continued)
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. ASU No. 2011-11 is intended to supersede certain pending paragraphs in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, to effectively defer only those changes in Update 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments will be temporary to allow the Board time to redeliberate the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income for annual and interim financial statements for public, private, and non-profit entities. All other requirements in ASU No. 2011-05 are not affected by ASU No. 2011-12, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. Public entities should apply these requirements for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Nonpublic entities should begin applying these requirements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter.
In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-02, Intangibles--Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This ASU states that an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount in accordance with Codification Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles--Goodwill and Other, General Intangibles Other than Goodwill.
Under the guidance in this ASU, an entity also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. An entity will be able to resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period.
The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance.
In August 2012, the FASB has released Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-03, Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22. This ASU amends various SEC paragraphs: (a) pursuant to the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 114; (b) pursuant to the issuance of the SEC’s Final Rule, Technical Amendments to Commission Rules and Forms Related to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification, Release Nos. 33-9250, 34-65052, and IC-29748 August 8, 2011; and (c) related to ASU No. 2010-22, Accounting for Various Topics.

3. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consists of cash and accounts receivable as of September 30 and June 30, 2012. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its cash position and credit evaluations to ensure sound collections and minimize credit losses exposure.
As of September 30 and June 30, 2012, almost all the Company’s bank deposits were placed with banks in the PRC where there is currently no rule or regulation mandated on obligatory insurance of bank accounts. Relatively small bank deposits were maintained with the banks in the U.S.A and Hong Kong.
For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, more than 90% of the Company’s sales were generated from the PRC. In addition, nearly all accounts receivable as of September 30 and June 30, 2012 also arose in the PRC.
The maximum amount of loss exposure due to credit risk that the Company would bear if the counterparties of the financial instruments fail to perform represents the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheet.
Normally the Company does not require collateral from customers or debtors.
For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, there was no single customer who accounts for 10% or more of the Company’s revenue. As at September 30 and June 30, 2012, there was no customer who accounts for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable.
For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, there was no single supplier who accounts for 10% or more of the Company’s purchase. As at September 30 and June 30, 2012, there was no supplier who accounts for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts payable.

11. PUBLIC OFFERINGS AND WARRANTS ISSUED IN 2010
On November 24, 2010, the Company closed a public offering of 1,228,400 shares of common stock at $11.00 per share, resulting in approximately $13.5 million in gross proceeds. On December 22, 2010, the Company closed a public offering of 529,323 shares of common stock at $11.00 per share, resulting in approximately $5.8 million in gross proceeds. Global Hunter Securities, LLC and Maxim Group LLC (collectively the “Underwriters”) acted as the joint book runners for both offerings.
In connection with the public offerings, the Company issued to the Underwriters warrants (the “Underwriters’ Warrants”) to purchase 61,420 and 20,473 shares, respectively, of Common Stock of the Company according to the Underwriting Agreement dated November 19, 2010 and December 17, 2010, respectively. The Underwriters’ Warrants are exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time. The exercise price, expiration date and total number of shares eligible to be purchased with the Underwriters’ Warrants are summarized in the following table:
Number of shares | Exercise price | Contractual term |
81,893 | $ 13.75 | 3.0 years |
The Company’s functional currency is RMB, which is different from the strike price of the Underwriters’ Warrants denominated in US dollars. According to ASC 815-40-15-7I, if the denominated currency of an equity-linked financial instrument’s strike price is different from the entity’s functional currency, an equity-linked financial instrument is not indexed to the entity’s own stock. ASC 815-40-55-36 illustrates the implementation of the above standard. Therefore, the Company determined that the Underwriters’ Warrants shall not be considered indexed to the entity’s own stock and accordingly records such Underwriters’ Warrants as a liability measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings for each reporting period. See Note 2(n).
No Underwriters’ Warrants have been exercised, forfeited or expired since issuance.
12. PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS ISSUED IN 2008 FINANCING
On June 11, 2008, the Company sold 5,915,526 Preferred Shares and certain Warrants for cash consideration totaling $15 million (the “June 2008 Financing”). The exercise price, expiration date and number of shares eligible to be purchased pursuant to the Warrants are summarized in the following table:

The Preferred Shares have 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 Preferred Shares. In the event of a liquidation of the Company, holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to receive a distribution equal to $2.5357 per share of Preferred Shares prior to any distribution to the holders of Common Stock or any other stock that ranks junior to the 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 Preferred Shares will participate based on their respective as-if conversion rates if the Company declares any dividends. Holders of 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 Preferred Shares. At any time, each Preferred Share is convertible into 0.5 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 currently $5.0714 per share but can adjust for anti-dilution. 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. The Preferred Shares have registration rights that the Company is required to have a registration statement filed with the SEC within 45 days after the earlier of the date of the Second Closing or June 30, 2008, and declared effective by the SEC not later than November 27, 2008. We filed the initial registration statement on August 7, 2008, and it was declared effective by the SEC on August 21, 2008.
The Warrants were issued at an exercise price of $7.04 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 Shares. 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 Shares.
The gross proceeds of the transaction were $15 million. The proceeds from the transaction were originally allocated to the Preferred Shares, 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 were not originally 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 $5.10, expected life of 5 year, volatility of 100% and an interest rate of 4.5%.

The Company originally recognized a beneficial conversion feature discount on the Preferred Shares at their intrinsic value, which was the fair value of the common stock at the commitment date for the Preferred Shares investment, less the effective conversion price but limited to the $15 million of proceeds received from the sale. The Company originally 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 Preferred Shares since the Preferred Shares were convertible at the issuance date. The accounting treatment for such preferred stock and warrants were re-evaluated and adjustments were made during the year ended June 30, 2010.
On July 18, 2008 the Company sold 1,971,842 shares of Preferred Shares and certain Warrants for cash consideration totaling $5 million (the “July 2008 Financing”).

12. PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS ISSUED IN 2008 FINANCING (CONTINUED)
The gross proceeds of the transaction were $5 million. The proceeds from the transaction were originally allocated to the Preferred Shares, 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 were not originally 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 $5.10, expected life of 5 year, volatility of 100% and an interest rate of 4.5%.
The Company originally recognized a beneficial conversion feature discount on the Preferred Shares at its intrinsic value, which was the fair value of the Common Stock at the commitment date for the Preferred Shares investment, less the effective conversion price but limited to the $5 million of proceeds received from the sale. The Company originally 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 Preferred Shares since the Preferred Shares were convertible at the issuance date. The accounting treatment for such preferred stock and warrants were re-evaluated and adjustments were made during the year ended June 30, 2010.
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.
On April 30, 2010, the Company entered into a Warrant Amendment Agreement with each of the holders of the Warrants in the June 2008 Financing and July 2008 Financing, namely Vision Opportunity China, LP and Blue Ridge Investments, LLC, to amend their respective warrants. In particular, the parties have agreed to delete Sections 4(d), (e) and (f) of their Warrants and replace Section 4(d) with a provision to allow the Company to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents at a price less than the conversion price of the warrants with the consent of the majority holders of the warrants.

12. PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS ISSUED IN 2008 FINANCING (CONTINUED)
During the course of internal evaluation, the Company re-evaluated its accounting treatment as of July 1, 2009 for the warrants issued in June 2008 Financing and July 2008 Financing, the denominated currency of the strike price of which is different from the entity’s functional currency. According to ASC 815-40-15-7I, if the denominated currency of an equity-linked financial instrument’s strike price is different from the entity’s functional currency, an equity-linked financial instrument is not indexed to the entity’s own stock. ASC 815-40-55-36 illustrates the implementation of the above standard. The Company’s primary operations are conducted in the PRC through its subsidiaries and affiliates, SK WFOE and Tianjin Shengkai, and the operating incomes and expenses are transacted in Renminbi (RMB), which is different from the strike price of the warrants, which are denominated in US dollars. Therefore, the Company determined that warrants shall not be considered indexed to the entity’s own stock and hence adjusted the classification of the Warrants effective from the beginning of fiscal year 2010, i.e. July 1, 2009, on which date ASC 815 should have been adopted, by recording the warrants as a liability measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings for each reporting period and recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. See Note 2(n).
During the course of internal evaluation, the Company re-evaluated its accounting treatment as of July 1, 2009 for the Preferred Shares issued in the June 2008 Financing and July 2008 Financing. The Certificate of Designations of the Preferred Shares includes a down-round provision pursuant to which, if the Company issues any additional shares of Common Stock at a per share price of less than $5.0714, the conversion ratio will be adjusted downward to reflect such lesser issued price. The down-round provision changed for the period commencing on the two (2) year anniversary of the Original Issue Date as set forth in Section 5 (e)(i) and 5(e)(ii) thereof. Although the adjustment under the Section 5(e)(ii) is different from the Section 5(e)(i), the nature of the down-round provision is not changed under both sections. The Company performed a complete assessment of the preferred stock and concluded that the Preferred Shares issued in the June and July 2008 Private Placements is within the scope of ASC 815-40-55-33 due to the down-round provisions included in the terms of the agreements. Pursuant to ASC 815-40-55-33, the down-round provision precludes the embedded conversion option of the Preferred Shares from being considered indexed to the entity’s own stock. Accordingly, the Company adjusted its accounting effective from the beginning of fiscal year 2010, i.e. July 1, 2009, on which date ASC 815 should have been adopted, by bifurcating the embedded conversion option of the Preferred Shares which should be recorded as a liability measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings for each reporting period and recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. See Note 2(n).
As of September 30, 2012, one holder of Preferred Shares had converted all of the 5,915,526 Preferred Shares it acquired in the “June 2008 Financing” into 2,957,763 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. No Warrants have been exercised, forfeited or expired since issuance.
13. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company’s 2010 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2010 Plan”) adopted by our Board of Directors and approved by our shareholders, permits the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock awards or restricted stock purchase offer, to our officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors. The 2010 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 1,105,626 shares of Common Stock. Option awards generally vest in three to four equal installments and have 5 year contractual terms. The Company’s general policy is to issue new shares of Common Stock to satisfy stock option exercises or grants of unvested shares.

13. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)
On March 31, 2010, the Company granted non-statutory stock options to purchase 825,563 shares of Common Stock to key employees and options to purchase 155,000 shares of Common Stock to independent directors as compensation, which options have a 5 year contractual term. The options granted to key employees vest in three equal annual installments of 33.3%, with an exercise price of $15.94 per share. Options granted to independent directors vest in three equal annual installments of 33.3% or in four equal annual installments of 25%, with an exercise price of $6 per share. On June 22, 2010, the Company issued non-statutory stock options to purchase 75,000 shares of Common Stock to Mr. Chen Wang, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and options to purchase 50,063 shares of Common Stock to Ms. Wei Guo, director of the Company and VP International Sales of Tianjin Shengkai. These options have a 5 year contractual term, vest in three equal annual installments of 33.3%, with an exercise price of $16.26 per share.
On March 20, 2012, Mr. David Ming He resigned as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, effective on April 19, 2012. Pursuant to the option agreement between the Company and Mr. He, the part of option to purchase 36,854 shares of Common Stock which had not yet vested as of the date of termination of his employment terminated on the date of termination of his employment, and the part of option to purchase 73,709 shares of Common Stock which had already vested during his employment would be forfeited if Mr. He did not exercise any within three months following such termination of employment. On July 19, 2012, this part of vested option was forfeited as Mr. He did not exercise any. On May 18, 2012, Mr. Michael Marks resigned as director and chairman of the Audit Committee of the board of directors of the Company, effective immediately. Pursuant to the option agreement between the Company and Mr. Marks, he still has the right to exercise the part of his option to acquire 50,000 shares of Common Stock that had vested, at any time during the remaining term of the option, but the part of his option to acquire 25,000 shares of Common Stock not yet vested terminated on the date he ceased to serve as a director of the Company.
The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718. Accordingly, the Company expenses the fair value of awards made under its share-based plan. That cost is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period of the grants. Total compensation expense related to the stock options for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $194,027 and $1,021,468, respectively, and were recorded as general and administrative expense. As of September 30, 2012, there was $659,514 of unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the 2010 Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.9 years. Options to acquire 888,375 shares of Common Stock have vested up to September 30, 2012, out of which none vested during the three months then ended.
The fair value of the stock options granted was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: volatility of 100%, the risk-free interest rate of 1.6%, expected dividend yield of 0% and expected life of 3.5 to 4 years.
Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based on the historic volatility of the Company’s stock price as well as volatility of comparable companies. The risk free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option in effect at the time of the grant. Since the Company has limited option exercise history, it has elected to estimate the expected life of an award based upon the SEC-approved “simplified method” noted under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 with the continued use of this method extended under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110. With the vesting period forms the lower bound of the estimate of expected term and the life of the option forming the upper bound.

On March 18, 2011 and June 22, 2011, our Board of Directors approved to grant an aggregate of 600,000 and 735,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s Common Stock as stock awards under the 2011 Plan to certain key employees in order to incentivize them and retain their valued services with the Company. 1,035,000 of the approved stock awards were issued during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 and the remaining 300,000 shares were issued during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.
The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718. Accordingly, the Company expenses the fair value of awards made under its share-based plan. The Company estimates fair value of Common Stock awards based on the number of shares issued and the quoted price of the Company's Common Stock on the date of issuance. That cost is fully recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. Total compensation expense related to the Common Stock awards for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $0 and $1,125,500, respectively, and were recorded as general and administrative expense.

14. INCOME TAXES
SKII is registered in the State of Florida whereas its subsidiary, Shen Kun being incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, is not subject to any income tax and conducts all of its business through its PRC subsidiaries and affiliates, SK WFOE, Tianjin Shengkai and Shengkai (Tianjin) Trading Ltd. (see Note 1).
SK WFOE, Tianjin Shengkai and Shengkai (Tianjin) Trading Ltd., being registered in the PRC, are subject to PRC’s Enterprise Income Tax. On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China approved the new Corporate Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “New CIT Law”), which is effective from January 1, 2008. Prior to January 1, 2008, the CIT rate applicable to our subsidiaries in the PRC was 33%. After January 1, 2008, under the New CIT Law, the corporate income tax rate applicable to our Chinese subsidiaries and affiliates is 25%.
In accordance with the New CIT Law, enterprises established under the laws of foreign countries or regions and whose “place of effective management” is located within the PRC territory are considered PRC resident enterprises and subject to the PRC income tax at the rate of 25% on worldwide income. The definition of “place of effective management" refers to an establishment that exercises, in substance, overall management and control over the production and business process, personnel, accounting and properties of an enterprise. As of September 30, 2012, no detailed interpretation or guidance has been issued to define “place of effective management”. Furthermore, as of September 30, 2012, the administrative practice associated with interpreting and applying the concept of “place of effective management” is unclear. If the Company’s non-PRC incorporated entities are deemed PRC tax residents, such entities would be subject to PRC tax under the New CIT Law. The Company has analyzed the applicability of this law, and has not accrued for PRC tax on such basis as of September 30, 2012. The Company will continue to monitor changes in the interpretation or guidance of this law.
The New CIT Law also imposes a 10% withholding income tax, subject to reduction based on tax treaty where applicable, for dividends distributed by a foreign invested enterprise to its immediate holding company outside China. Such dividends were exempted from PRC tax under the previous income tax law and regulations. A foreign invested enterprise is subject to the withholding tax starting from January 1, 2008. There were no such dividends distributed in the three months ended September 30, 2012 or 2011.
In April 2010, Tianjin Shengkai was awarded the status of “high technology” enterprise for the calendar years 2009 through 2011, of which Tianjin Shengkai enjoys a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15%. However, for the periods through December 31, 2009, we already used income tax rate of 25% to provide and pay for income taxes. We did not record any tax refund receivable as of June 30, 2012 as we are not sure whether the refund of the overpaid income tax expenses during the calendar year 2009 would be approved by relevant tax authority. After January 1, 2010 we used the preferential income tax rate of 15% to provide and pay for income tax expenses. Currently Tianjin Shengkai is in the process of renewing the “high technology” enterprise status. Management believes it is likely that such renewal will be approved. Based on such belief and common practice as accepted by relevant tax authority, Tianjin Shengkai used the 15% enterprise income tax rate to provide and pay for income tax expenses for the periods from January 1, 2012 through September 30, 2012. In the event that such renewal is not finally approved, however, we will need to apply the standard tax rate of 25% and make up the 10% difference in income tax expenses for the periods from January 1, 2012 through September 30, 2012. Income taxes payable was $183,582 and $240,438 at September 30 and June 30, 2012, respectively.

15. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to shareholders of Common Stock by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to shareholders of Common Stock by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock, Common Stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock consist of the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt, preferred stock, stock options and warrants. The Company uses the if-converted method to calculate the dilutive preferred stock and the treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive shares issuable upon exercise of warrants and stock options.

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.

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.”
35
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 of Shen Kun International Limited (“Shen Kun”), a company incorporated under the laws of British Virgin Islands on November 7, 2007. Shen Kun holds 100% of the equity interests in Shengkai (Tianjin) Limited (“SK WFOE”), a wholly foreign owned enterprise organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), which, in turn, through contractual relationships, controls the business of Tianjin Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“Tianjin Shengkai”), a PRC company that designs, manufactures and sells ceramic valves.
On June 25, 2010, Shengkai (Tianjin) Trading Ltd., which is wholly owned by SK WFOE, was organized as a corporation under the laws of the PRC, with a total registered capital of RMB500,000. Shengkai (Tianjin) Trading Ltd. is primarily engaged in the international trading of non-valve products to better serve the Company’s international customers. Currently, Shengkai (Tianjin) Trading Ltd. has not started any operations.
Because SK WFOE and Tianjin Shengkai’s operations are the only significant operations of the Company and its affiliates, this discussion and analysis focuses on the business results of SK WFOE and Tianjin Shengkai, comparing their business results for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to the three months ended September 30, 2011.
On March 9, 2012, the Company effected a one-for-two reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock. All common stock based data in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes has been retroactively restated to reflect this reverse stock split.
General
SK WFOE and Tianjin Shengkai, the entities through which we run our operations, are prominent ceramic valve manufacturers. We have about 18 years of experience and possess a unique method for creating ceramic valves.
We believe that we are one of the few ceramic valve manufacturers in the world with research and development, engineering, and production capacity for structural ceramics, and are able to produce large-sized ceramic valves with calibers of 150mm or more. Our product categories include a broad range of valves in nearly all industries and are sold throughout the PRC, to Europe, North America, Middle East and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Totaling over 200 customers, we became a supplier of China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (“CPCC” or “Sinopec”) in 2005; we joined the supply network of China National Petroleum Corporation (“CNPC”) in 2006 and subsequently received a CNPC Certificate of Material Supplier for valve products in 2011. We are currently the only domestic ceramic valve manufacturer entering into the Sinopec and CNPC supply system.
Since September 2011, we started phasing out our less profitable domestic market segments including the electric power market and focusing on expanding our presence in the more profitable domestic and foreign oil and chemical industries where ceramic valve products typically command higher prices than the domestic Chinese market.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011
Revenue
In the past one and half years, because of the heightened suspicions on the integrity of Chinese companies, enquiries into the Company’s business and domestic customers mounted by certain shareholders and interested parties without the Company’s approval or endorsement have resulted in severely damaged relations with some of the Company’s important domestic customers. This has resulted in considerable loss of business since June 2011, and a higher turnover in the Company’s sales agents and representatives. Some of the Company’s other customers have seized this opportunity to demand price cuts from the Company. Meanwhile, some of the Company’s competitors also have seized this opportunity to take away our customers. In addition, in the three months ended September 30, 2012, due to the general economy slowdown in China and particularly the poor operating performance and financial pressure experienced by most of our major customers in the electric power market, business with those customers have become increasingly difficult. Some of our agents/distributors, through whom we sold our products to those end customers in the electric power industry, have even been forced out of business because they could not timely collect accumulated trade receivables from their customers.
36
As a result, revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased by $6,336,842 or 57.5% to $4,674,285 from $11,011,127 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Total ceramic valves output for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was 952 sets, compared with 1,978 sets for the three months ended September 30, 2011. This is also in line with our previous announcements forecasting the continuation of loss of customers and business in the domestic market, particularly in electric power industry, as a result of the Company’s strategic shifting of business focus.
Approximately 89.3% of our source of revenue came from customers in the electric power, petrochemical and chemical industries for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared with 92.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Unlike previously, the electric power industry contributed significantly less to our revenue, generating approximately 16.4% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared with 31.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Revenue from the electric power industry was $768,075 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $2,736,860 or 78.1% from $3,504,935 for the comparable period in fiscal 2012.
Revenue from the petrochemical and chemical industry accounted for approximately 72.9% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared with 61.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The revenue from the petrochemical and chemical industry was $3,407,773 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $3,309,772 or 49.3% from $6,717,545 for the comparable period in fiscal 2012. The decrease was primarily due to the general slowdown in economy in the PRC.
Revenue from other industries, including the aluminum and metallurgy industries, accounted for approximately 10.7% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared with 7.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The revenue for other industries was $498,437 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $290,210 or 36.8% from $788,647 for the comparable period in fiscal 2012. Such other industries have not been the Company’s marketing focus because of less educated and lower quality customer base and less promising future prospects in terms of potential market size, selling price and profit margin. Revenue from these industries has remained low.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $2,901,143, a decrease of $3,295,508 or 53.2% as compared to $6,196,651 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to decline in revenue. The cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased by approximately 5.8% to 62.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from 56.3% for the comparable period in fiscal 2012.
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $1,773,142, a decrease of $3,041,334 or 63.2% as compared to $4,814,476 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to decrease in sales volume and decrease in average selling price of the product mix as we sold more lower priced products in this quarter. The gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was 37.9%, as compared to 43.7% for the comparable period in fiscal 2012. The decrease in gross margin between the two comparable quarters was primarily attributed to increase in material prices, which were spread over a smaller revenue base. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, prices for steel raw materials and steel die-casting components, our major raw materials, were approximately 6.8% higher than those in comparable period in fiscal 2012.
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $610,381, a decrease of $441,099 or 42.0%, from $1,051,480 for the comparable period in fiscal 2012. The major component of selling expenses was commissions paid to agents for introducing new sales, which was approximately $373,624 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of approximately $507,266 or 57.6% from approximately $880,890 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Selling expenses as a percentage of total sales revenue increased to 13.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from 9.5% for the comparable period in fiscal 2012, since certain minor components of selling expenses such as sales staff’s salaries, sales offices’ administrative expenses and after-sale service expenses are flat-rate and did not diminish proportionally to revenue decrease.
37
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $1,034,493, a decrease of $2,371,542 or 69.6% as compared to $3,406,035 for the comparable period in fiscal 2012. Included in G&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was a non-cash charge of $194,027, which was the share-based compensation costs on the options to independent directors, management and key employees issued in March and June, 2010, under the Company’s 2010 Incentive Stock Plan. The non-cash share-based compensation costs included in the G&A expenses for the comparable period in fiscal 2012 was $2,146,968. G&A expenses (excluding the non-cash items) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $840,466, a decrease of $418,601 or 33.2% compared to $1,259,067 for the comparable period in fiscal 2012. The decrease in G&A (excluding the non-cash items) expenses over the comparable periods of fiscal 2012 and 2013 was primarily attributable to a write-back of provision for doubtful accounts for $99,025 due to collection in this period of previously provided accounts; decrease in expenses and professional fees incurred for our U.S. capital market-related activities of $79,238; and decrease in R&D expenses of $155,981.
Changes in Fair Value of Instruments
For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred non-cash loss in an aggregate amount of $20,536 related to its issuance of Series A warrants and Series A convertible preferred stock in the private placements in June and July, 2008, as well as issuance of warrants to underwriters in the public offerings in November and December 2010, pursuant to provision of FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivative and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The accounting treatment of the warrants resulted from the difference between the Company's functional currency in Renminbi and the denominated currency of the strike price of the warrants in U.S. dollars. The accounting treatment of the preferred stock resulted from a down-round provision providing anti-dilution protection to the preferred stockholders. Both warrants and the embedded conversion option of Series A convertible preferred stock are recorded as liabilities measured at fair value with changes in their fair value recognized in earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Fair value of the instruments was primarily a function of the price and volatility of our common stock. With the same closing prices of common stock as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012, and with similar level for other variables, a lower volatility of the stock price during the three months ended September 30, 2012 resulted in lower valuation of options and warrants based on the Black-Scholes valuation model, and a lower discount to equity component of the convertible preferred stock. The effect of such lower discount overweighed the effect brought from the Black-Scholes model, hence higher value of the embedded conversion option, which means higher liabilities, and therefore a loss was recognized. For the comparable period in fiscal 2012, the Company recognized a non-cash gain of $926,637 due to the decrease in our stock price over that period. A decrease in our stock price over that period resulted in a decrease in fair value of the instruments, which are liabilities; hence a gain was recognized for the reporting period.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $183,605, a decrease of $335,070 or 64.6% from $518,675 for the comparable period in fiscal 2012. Excluding the $194,027 share-based compensation cost and the $20,536 loss from changes in fair value of instruments, adjusted income before taxes was $450,945 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared with $2,683,344 for the comparable period in fiscal 2012, after adjusting for the $2,146,968 share-based compensation cost and $926,637 gain from changes in fair value of instruments. The income tax provision is calculated based on the actual income before taxes and applicable income tax rate for our PRC subsidiary and affiliate, according to the generally accepted accounting principles of PRC. In April 2010, Tianjin Shengkai, the Company’s operating entity in Tianjin, PRC, was awarded the status of “high technology” enterprise for the calendar years 2009 through 2011. Hence Tianjin Shengkai enjoys a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15% starting from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2011, rather than the standard tax rate of 25%. Currently Tianjin Shengkai is in the process of renewing the “high technology” enterprise status. Management believes it is likely that such renewal will be approved. Based on such belief and common practice as accepted by relevant tax authority, Tianjin Shengkai used the 15% enterprise income tax rate to provide and pay for income tax expenses for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2012. In the event that such renewal is not finally approved, however, we will need to apply the standard tax rate of 25% and make up the 10% difference in income tax expenses for the quarters then ended.
38
Net Income
Net income (per U.S. GAAP) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $52,777, a decrease of $891,561 or 94.4% from a net income of $944,338 for the comparable period in fiscal 2012. Diluted earnings per share were $0.003 compared to $0.052 per diluted share in the comparable period in fiscal 2012. During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the number of diluted shares was 18,181,992 compared with 18,052,914 diluted shares for the comparable period in fiscal 2012.
Excluding the $194,027 share-based compensation cost and the $20,536 loss from changes in fair value of instruments, adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $267,340 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared with $2,164,669 for the comparable period in fiscal 2012, after adjusting for the $2,146,968 share-based compensation cost and $926,637 gain from changes in fair value of instruments. The decrease was attributable to the factors described above. Non-GAAP earnings were $0.015 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared with $0.12 per diluted share in the comparable period in fiscal 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $64,819,870 and increased to $66,738,082 by the end of the period, an increase of $1,918,212 or 3.0%. The increase was primarily attributable to the internal cash flows generated from operations, release of restricted cash, as well as effects of exchange rate change.
We believe that after taking into account of our current cash position and cash generated from operating activities, we have adequate operating funds to sustain working capital, capital expenditures and milestone payments for the next twelve months. From time to time, we may identify new expansion opportunities, research and development projects and significant marketing initiatives for which there will be a need to use cash.
We manage our cash based on thorough consideration of our corporate strategy, business environment as well as the macro economic situation. Factors we take into account when managing our cash include interest rates, foreign currency fluctuation as well as the flexibility in executing our corporate strategy.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,220,450 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $258,104 or 13.2% from $1,962,346 for the comparable period in fiscal 2012. The adjusted net income, after deducting the non-cash gain from changes in fair value of instruments and adding back the non-cash share-based compensation cost, was $267,340 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $1,897,329 or 87.6% from $2,164,669 for the comparable period in fiscal 2012. The increase in net cash inflow from operations despite the decrease in net income was primarily attributable to the reduced working capital requirements in the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2011, as reflected by less cash consumed by changes in accounts payable, notes payable and income taxes payable and other payables, offset by less cash provided by changes in accounts receivable and advances from customers.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $181,780 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the amount of $515,192 net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease in cash inflow of $696,972. The change was primarily attributable to payments made related to equipment purchase, and decrease in cash inflow resulting from release of restricted cash during the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2012.
39
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities
There was no cash provided by or used in financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and
2011.

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, PRC and the bid price was approximately $1.9 million (RMB12.6 million). The formal contract was signed with the government on January 23, 2009, with the Company to pay the bid price in full by March 25, 2009. The land was purchased to construct corporate headquarters and to build a new manufacturing facility to expand our production capacity. Expenditures committed under related construction contracts totaled $35,550,442 (RMB224,909,871), of which $34,828,582 (RMB220,343,021) had been paid as of September 30, 2012. The remaining balance of $721,860 (RMB4,566,850) will substantially be settled after completion of inspection and final acceptance of the construction project by relevant government authorities, with certain amount to be held from payment as warranty deposit till approximately one year after such final acceptance. Certain equipment and machinery contracts for the above-mentioned new manufacturing facility have also been executed, total amount of which was approximately $16,530,388 (RMB104,579,500), of which $15,582,392 (RMB98,582,000) had been paid as of September 30, 2012. The remaining balance of $947,997 (RMB5,997,500) primarily represented the amount held from payment as warranty deposit till approximately one year after installation and acceptance.
Trends
In response to the business disruptions and changes in the global ceramic valves industry as well as in PRC’s economic conditions as described earlier, management of the Company has decided to gradually phase out its less profitable domestic market segments including the electric power market and focus on expanding its presence in the more profitable domestic and foreign oil and chemical industries where ceramic valve products typically command higher prices. The Company has increased its product sales price to match industry levels and to reflect its superior product quality. The Company has also been making efforts to streamline operations through headcount reduction and other cost-saving measures to conserve capital and reduce the impact of revenue loss. Finally, the Company will continue to leverage its self-developed ceramic material technologies to continue in-house and joint research and development of innovative and superior-performance products for the international oil and chemical markets and commit its resources to expanding the acceptance of its products overseas.
As such, we expect that in the immediately following quarter ended December 31, 2012, total revenues would remain flat, and major contribution to our sales would be from the petrochemical and chemical industry. Such situation may persist until our marketing and sales efforts on some new customers and projects pay off, and the expansion in the international market picks up meaningfully. Successful penetration into international oil and chemical markets would also require the Company to obtain various certifications, including but not limited to different class API certification, such as API 6A which covers higher pressure valve products, and other firm-specific supplier qualifications, which will take time to go through various application procedures, develop new products and invest in additional or different equipment.
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 September 30, 2012, and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

(1) Capital expenditures are commitments for the construction of a new manufacturing facility and for the purchase of new equipment and machinery. See Note 16 - Commitments and Contingency in the notes to the financial statements, included elsewhere in this report. The Company entered into certain construction contracts for building a new manufacturing facility and a headquarters building. The total amount of executed contracts was $35,550,442 (RMB224,909,871), of which $34,828,582 (RMB220,343,021) had been paid as of September 30, 2012. The construction of both the manufacturing facility and the headquarters building were substantially completed in September 2010. The Company has also executed certain equipment and machinery contracts totaling $16,530,388 (RMB104,579,500), of which $15,582,392 (RMB98,582,000) had been paid as of September 30, 2012.

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
Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold and is recognized upon the delivery of goods to customers, net of value added tax (“VAT”). 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.
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. Others are software costs which are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period from 3 to 10 years.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“US$” or “$”), while the functional currency of the Company is Renminbi (“RMB”), as determined based on the criteria of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters”. The consolidated 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. The resulting transaction adjustments are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income with in shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net income.

New Financial Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 is intended to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is "more likely than not" that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%.
ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance.
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU No. 2011-11 is intended to provide enhanced disclosures that will enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position. This includes the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with an entity’s recognized assets and recognized liabilities within the scope of this Update. The amendments require enhanced disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented.
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. ASU No. 2011-11 is intended to supersede certain pending paragraphs in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, to effectively defer only those changes in Update 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments will be temporary to allow the Board time to redeliberate the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income for annual and interim financial statements for public, private, and non-profit entities. All other requirements in ASU No. 2011-05 are not affected by ASU No. 2011-12, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. Public entities should apply these requirements for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Nonpublic entities should begin applying these requirements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter.
In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-02, Intangibles--Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This ASU states that an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount in accordance with Codification Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles--Goodwill and Other, General Intangibles Other than Goodwill.
42
Under the guidance in this ASU, an entity also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. An entity will be able to resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period.
The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance.
In August 2012, the FASB has released Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-03, Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22. This ASU amends various SEC paragraphs: (a) pursuant to the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 114; (b) pursuant to the issuance of the SEC’s Final Rule, Technical Amendments to Commission Rules and Forms Related to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification, Release Nos. 33-9250, 34-65052, and IC-29748 August 8, 2011; and (c) related to ASU No. 2010-22, Accounting for Various Topics.

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”), and Linbin Zhang, the Company’s Interim 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 three months ended September 30, 2012. 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 over Financial Reporting
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, performed an evaluation as to whether any change in our internal controls over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2012. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that no change occurred in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
