The securities offered in the March 2009 Financing were sold pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among Frezer and the investors named in the Purchase Agreement.

Any fractional shares issued as a result of the Reserve Split were rounded up. In addition, any shareholder owning at least 100 shares but less than 407 shares of the Company’s common stock on June 17, 2009, would own at least 100 shares after giving effect to the Reverse Split.

Our operating income was $2,734,990 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, representing an increase of $1,301,361, or 90.77%, as compared to $1,433,629 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. This increase was a result of a significant increase in the gross profit of our overall business of wire and cable manufacturing, partially offset by an increase of selling, general and administrative expenses.
Government Subsidy
In the three months ended December 31, 2010, we received subsidies from various PRC governmental bureaus in the aggregate amount of $180,155, as compared to subsidies of $304,704 received in the quarter ended December 31, 2009. The subsidies we received in the three months ended December 31, 2010 consisted of (i) approximately $150,000 from the Appropriation of Technology Innovation Fund of the Department of Finance of Dalian City and (ii) approximately $30,000 from the Appropriation of Technology Innovation Fund of the Department of Finance of Liaoning Province.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $493,390 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, representing an increase of $488,195, or 9,193.40%, as compared to $5,195 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. This increase was due to the increase of our total bank loans, proceeds of which were used for working capital and our Phase I Changxing facility.
Income Taxes
In the three months ended December 31, 2010, our business operations were conducted solely by WFOE, Dalian Befut and its subsidiaries and, as such, we were governed by the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Laws (the “EIT Law”). China enterprise income tax is calculated based on taxable income determined under Chinese generally accepted accounting principles. In accordance with the EIT Law, a Chinese domestic company is subject to taxes, including but not limited to: (i) an enterprise income tax rate of 25% and (ii) a value added tax of 17% on the goods sold.
Provision for income taxes was $614,895 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $278,076, or 82.56%, compared to $336,819 for the three months ended December 31, 2009.
Net Income

The increase was mainly attributable to the increase of $2,026,171 in gross profit and the increase of $510,162 in other income, which was partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $724,810, an increase in interest expense of $488,195 and an increase in income tax provision of $278,076.
SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AS COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009
Sales
Our sales for the six months ended December 31, 2010 were $30,801,975, representing an increase of $18,192,272, or 144.27%, as compared to $12,609,703 in the six months ended December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to three factors: (i) significantly increased demand for our traditional cables, specialty cables and switch products from new and existing customers, (ii) our increased production capacity as a result of the relocation of our production facilities to our Phase I Changxing facility in Dalian’s Changxing Island Harbor Industrial Zone at the end of 2009, and (iii) increased prices of many of our cable products due to an increase in the average price of copper, our primary raw material, in the six months ended December 31, 2010, most of which we passed on to our customers.
In terms of our product mix, for the six months ended December 31, 2010, approximately 48.0% of our revenues were generated from sales of traditional cable, approximately 47.4% of revenues were generated from sales of specialty cable and approximately 4.6% of revenues were generated from our switch application business, as compared to 37.5%, 58.0% and 4.5%, respectively, in the six months ended December 31, 2009.
Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales increased at a higher rate than our sales because we produced a lower percentage of specialty cable, which typically has higher gross margins, than in the prior period.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2010 was $8,176,943, representing an increase of $4,665,337, or 132.85%, as compared to $3,511,606 in the six months ended December 31, 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 26.55% for the six months ended December 31, 2010, representing a decrease of 1.30%, as compared to 7.85% in the six months ended December 31, 2009. The decrease of gross profit rate was primarily due to that we produced a lower percentage of specialty cable products, as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2009.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and bonuses for sales personnel, advertising and promotion expenses, freight charges, related compensation and professional fees, and amortization expenses. Selling expenses were $188,250 in the six months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $36,701 in the six months ended December 31, 2009, representing an increase of $151,549, or 412.93%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Selected Measures of Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table sets forth certain relevant measures regarding our liquidity and capital resources:

| | | | | | |
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash | | $ | 4,256 | | | $ | 2,500 | |
| | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | |
Ratio of current assets to current liabilities | | 1.4:1 | | | 1.5 :1 | |
Our approximately $2.4 million increase in working capital from June 30, 2010 to December 31, 2010 was primarily due to the increase of $12.8 million of current assets and the increase of $10.4 million of current liabilities. The increase of current assets mainly includes the increase of $1.8 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, the increase of $8.0 million of account receivables and the increase of $2.7 million of inventory. The increase of current liabilities mainly includes the increase of $3 million of trade notes payable, the increase of $3 million of short term bank loans, the increase of $1.8 million of loans from unrelated parties, and the increase of $1.5 million of income tax payable.

We had a net decrease of $557,713 in cash and cash equivalents from June 30, 2010 to December 31, 2010, as compared to a net increase of $5,175,592 from June 30, 2009 to December 31, 2009, respectively. The following table summarizes such changes:

Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents | | $ | (558 | ) | | $ | 5,176 | |
Our management believes that we have sufficient cash, along with projected cash to be generated from operations, and access to short-term bank loans to support our current operations for the next twelve months. We believe our cash position is strong and sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital needs. However, if events or circumstances occur and we do not meet our budgeted operating plan, we may be required to seek additional capital and/or reduce certain discretionary spending, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our business objectives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may seek additional financing, which may include debt and/or equity financing. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Any equity financing may result in dilution to existing stockholders and any debt financing may include restrictive covenants.
Operating Activities

The decrease in net cash of approximately $2.5 million was mainly due to the increase of net income of $2.4 million, the increase of account receivables of $7.8 million, the increase in inventory of $1.6 million and the increase of trade notes payable of $4.2 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Management's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Our financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting policies which require management to make significant estimates and judgments. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” We believe that the following paragraphs reflect the more critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations:
Use of Estimates and Assumption
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We derives our revenues primarily from the design, manufacture and sale of industrial wires and cables in the PRC. In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 605, revenue is recognized when products are shipped, title and risk of loss is passed to the customers and collection is reasonably assured. Payments received before the above criteria are satisfied are recorded as advance from customers.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 230, "Statement of Cash Flows", we consider all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded net of allowance for doubtful accounts. We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. Periodically, management assesses customer credit history and relationships as well as performs an analysis on the aging of accounts receivable. Based on the results of such analysis, management determines whether certain balances are deemed uncollectible at the end of a certain fixed period. Using its past collection experience, we reserve 0.3% of accounts receivable balances that have been outstanding for less than one year, 3% of accounts receivable balances that have been outstanding for more than one year but less than two years, and 10% of accounts receivable balances that have been outstanding for more than two years.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide this information.
