Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business
BEFUT International Co., Ltd., formerly known as Frezer, Inc. (“Frezer”), a former public shell company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, was established under the laws of Nevada on May 2, 2005. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of BEFUT International Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). The Company’s primary business is to design manufacture and sell industrial wires and cables.
On March 13, 2009, Frezer entered into and consummated a series of transactions whereby (a) Frezer acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of BEFUT Corporation, a company incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 14, 2009 (“Befut Nevada”), constituting all of the capital stock of Befut Nevada, from Befut International Co. Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Befut BVI”) in exchange for the issuance to Befut BVI of an aggregate of 117,768,300 shares of Frezer’s common stock and the cancellation of an aggregate of 2,176,170 shares of Frezer’s common stock and (b) Frezer raised $500,000 in gross proceeds from the sale to four investors of convertible promissory notes of Frezer in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 720,076 shares of Frezer’s common stock. The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method for business combinations. On June 18, 2009, the Company effectuated a name change from its original name “Frezer, Inc.” to “BEFUT International Co., Ltd.”.
Hongkong BEFUT Co., Ltd. (“Befut Hongkong”) was incorporated on September 10, 2008 under the laws of Hong Kong and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Befut Nevada. On February 13, 2009, Befut Hongkong invested 100% of the registered capital to form Befut Electric (Dalian) Co., Ltd. (“WFOE”), a Chinese company incorporated in the city of Dalian, the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”).
On February 16, 2009, WFOE entered into a series of agreements, the purpose of which was to restructure Dalian Befut Wire & Cable Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (“Dalian Befut”) in accordance with applicable PRC law so that Dalian Befut could raise capital and grow its business (the “Restructuring”). Dalian Befut was incorporated on June 13, 2002 under the laws of the PRC. The Restructuring included the following arrangements: First, WFOE entered into an Original Equipment Manufacturer Agreement with Dalian Befut containing the following material provisions: (i) Dalian Befut may not manufacture products for any person or entity other than WFOE without the written consent of WFOE; (ii) WFOE is to provide all raw materials and advance related costs to Dalian Befut, as well as provide design requirements for products to be manufactured; (iii) WFOE is responsible for marketing and distributing the products manufactured by Dalian Befut and will keep all related profits and revenues; and (iv) WFOE has an exclusive right, exercisable in its sole discretion, to purchase all or part of the assets and/or equity of Dalian Befut at a mutually agreed price to the extent permitted by applicable PRC law. In addition, on February 16, 2009, WFOE entered into two ancillary agreements with Dalian Befut: (i) an Intellectual Property License Agreement, pursuant to which WFOE shall be permitted to use intellectual property rights such as trademarks, patents and know-how for the marketing and sale of the products manufactured by Dalian Befut; and (ii) a Non-competition Agreement, pursuant to which Dalian Befut shall not compete against WFOE.
On April 14, 2006, Dalian Marine Cable Co., Ltd. (“Dalian Marine Co.”) was incorporated in the PRC by Dalian Befut. At such time, the shareholders of Dalian Marine Co. were Dalian Befut (owning 86.6% of the equity interests) and three individual shareholders. Dalian Marine Co. was formed to conduct marketing activities and produce marine cables for Dalian Befut.
On July 1, 2009, Dalian Befut, our captive manufacturer, formed a joint venture under the laws of the PRC, Dalian Befut Zhong Xing Switch Co., Ltd. (“Befut Zhong Xing”), with pre-registered capital of RMB1,000,000. Dalian Befut invested RMB700,000 for its 70% equity interest in Befut Zhong Xing. In January, 2010, Dalian Befut increased its investment capital to RMB14.7 million with a transfer of intangible assets to Befut Zhong Xing on January 1, 2010 and raised its equity ownership percentage in Befut Zhong Xing to 73.5%. Befut Zhong Xing manufactures switch appliances, including high/low voltage distribution cabinet switches and crane electronic control switches. The noncontrolling interest also increased its equity investment by contributing additional cash of RMB5,000,000 (approximately $733,350). There were no equity transactions (purchasing or selling the controlling interest) between the Company and the noncontrolling interest shareholders for the year ended June 30, 2010.

Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business (continued)
Dalian Yuansheng was established on June 3, 2009 with a registered capital of RMB 1,000,000 (approximately $146,700). Two individual shareholders, Chengnian Yan and Xianjun Cheng, owned 60% and 40% of Dalian Yuansheng, respectively. On July 23, 2010, Dalian Befut contributed RMB 5,000,000 (approximately $735,294) and purchased the original 60% interest from Chengnian Yan at RMB 600,000 (approximately $88,235). As a result, Dalian Befut became 93.3% owner of Dalian Yuansheng. For the periods ended September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010, the Company consolidated the financial statements of Dalian Yuansheng with intercompany transactions, including investment in Dalian Yuansheng of RMB 5,600,000 (approximately $823,529), eliminated and reported noncontrolling interest per ASC 810-10 as part of the Company’s equity. The purchase of Chengnian Yan’s interest in Dalian Yuansheng at RMB 600,000 (approximately $88,235) was recorded as an equity transaction at cost and no gain or loss was recorded.
On February 25, 2011, Dalian Befut sold its entire 86.6% equity interest in Dalian Marine Co. to Mr. Fansheng Li, a noncontrolling shareholder of Dalian Marine Co., for RMB 17,320,000 (approximately $2.67 million) in cash. As part of the transaction, the applicable certifications required for producing marine cables were transferred to WFOE. As Dalian Befut will continue to manufacture marine cables for the Company, the Company has determined that Dalian Befut’s sale of its equity interests in Dalian Marine Co. did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position and operations.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis Of Presentation
As disclosed in Note 1, WFOE entered into an Original Equipment Manufacturer Agreement, an Intellectual Property License Agreement and a Non-competition Agreement (collectively, the “OEM Agreements”) with Dalian Befut. Under FASB ASC 810-10 (formerly FIN 46R), Dalian Befut is the variable interest entity, or VIE, of WOFE by virtue of the OEM Agreements. As Dalian Befut’s sole purpose and objective is to provide resources and benefits to WFOE, WFOE is the primary beneficiary that can consolidate Dalian Befut. Therefore, Dalian Befut and its controlled subsidiaries, Dalian Marine Co., Dalian Yuansheng and Befut Zhong Xing, are consolidated into the Company’s financial statements.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included.
In preparing the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluated the period from March 31, 2011 through the date the financial statements were issued for material subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure. No such events were identified for this period.
Interim Financial Statements
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, as not all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements are presented. The interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of computations as the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No.48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined in FIN 48 as a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company does not recognize any benefits in the financial statements for the nine month ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
The Company has not paid income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2011 although it has accrued a liability for income tax payable on its balance sheet. To date, the Company has not been granted an extension to pay its income tax obligations, however, the Company is negotiating with the local tax authorities regarding the availability of tax exemptions relating to the manufacturing of specialty cables and the payment of any remaining income tax obligations after application of available exemptions. In addition, the Company is applying for the electronic remittance of outstanding tax payments due the local tax bureau, if any. The Company expects a final determination on this matter and payment of any tax amounts due within two years.
Note 18 – Employee Welfare Plan
The Company has established an employee welfare plan in accordance with applicable Chinese laws and regulations. Full-time employees of the Company in the PRC participate in a government-mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, unemployment insurance and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. PRC labor regulations require the Company to accrue for these benefits based on a certain percentage of the employees’ salaries.
Note 19 – Risk Factors
The Company's operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal conditions in the PRC. The Company's business may also be influenced by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Note 20 – Risk of Concentration and Credit Risk
During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, five vendors accounted for approximately 72% of the Company’s purchases of raw materials, while during the nine months ended March 31, 2010, ten major vendors accounted for approximately 89% of the Company’s purchases of raw materials. Total purchases from these vendors were $25.67 million and $14.17 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Ten major customers accounted for approximately 37% and 65% of the net revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Total sales to these customers were $14.26 million and $12.56 million, for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash on deposit with financial institutions. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are financially sound and minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.

Note 22 – Disposal of A Subsidiary – Dalian Marine
On February 21, 2011, Dalian Befut determined to discontinue the operations at Dalian Marine Co., a manufacturer of marine cable, and sell its 86.6% equity interests therein as the result of recurring operating losses at Dalian Marine Co. On February 25, 2011, the Company completed the sale of its 86.6% equity interest to Mr. Fansheng Li, a noncontrolling shareholder of Dalian Marine Co., for $2,644,764 (RMB 17,320,000) in cash. In connection with the sale, Dalian Befut determined to transfer Dalian Marine Co.’s manufacturing activities with WFOE, by transferring to WFOE the applicable certifications required to produce marine cables. Dalian Befut’s sale of its entire equity interest in Dalian Marine Co. did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position and operating results as immediately prior to the disposal of Dalian Marine Co., there were no significant manufacturing activities carried out by Dalian Marine Co. and Dalian Befut shall continue to manufacture marine cable for the Company. The Company recognized a gain of $99,148 on the disposal of Dalian Marine. Such income was treated as an unusual item since it is deemed to be unusual in nature or would be infrequent in occurrence.

Overview
We believe that we are one of the most competitive manufacturers of specialty cables in northeastern China. For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, approximately 40% of our revenues were generated from traditional cable, about 57% of revenues were generated from specialty cable and about 3% of revenues were generated from our switch application business. Our cable products consist of (i) traditional electric power system cable and (ii) an assortment of specialty cable, including marine cable, mining specialty cable, and petrochemical cable. Our switch application business consists mainly of high and low voltage distribution cabinet switches and crane electronic control switches, which products complement our cable product offerings.
OEM Agreements
We conduct substantially all of our operations through, and generate substantially all of our revenues from Dalian Befut, pursuant to an Original Equipment Manufacturer Agreement, dated February 16, 2009 (the "Manufacturing Agreement") with Dalian Befut, pursuant to which (i) Dalian Befut is the exclusive manufacturer of cable and wire products for WFOE, and may not manufacture products for any other third party without the written consent of WFOE; (ii) WFOE provides all the raw materials and advance related costs to Dalian Befut, as well as provides the design requirements of the products to be manufactured; and (iii) in no event may Dalian Befut use the arrangements under the Manufacturing Agreement for commercial or noncommercial marketing or promotional activities in any form. In addition, on February 16, 2009, WFOE and Dalian Befut entered into (i) an Intellectual Property Rights License Agreement, pursuant to which WFOE shall be permitted to use the intellectual property rights such as trademark, patents and knowhow for the marketing and sale of the products (the “IP Agreement”); and (ii) a Non-competition Agreement, pursuant to which Dalian Befut shall not compete against WFOE (the “Non compete Agreement”, together with the IP Agreement and Manufacturing Agreement, collectively, the “OEM Agreements”). We have no direct ownership interest in Dalian Befut nor do we have voting control of any shares of Dalian Befut. As a result, these OEM Agreements may not be as effective in providing us with control over Dalian Befut as direct ownership of Dalian Befut would be. For example, Dalian Befut may breach the OEM Agreements by deciding not to manufacture products for WFOE, and consequently the Company. In the event of any such breach, we would have to rely on legal remedies under PRC law, which may not always be available or effective to enforce our rights, particularly in light of uncertainties in the PRC legal system. To mitigate such a risk, WFOE has the exclusive right under the OEM Agreements, exercisable in its sole discretion, to purchase all or part of the assets and/or equity of Dalian Befut.
All cash flows generated under the OEM Agreements are maintained in the custody of Dalian Befut instead of in the custody of the Company. There are no prohibitions under applicable PRC law on the transfer of cash from Dalian Befut to WFOE. Accordingly, except for the relevant PRC laws, regulations and government policies on capital outflow, no risks exist as to the movement of cash balances from the Company’s PRC operating subsidiaries or Dalian Befut up to the Company. Transfer of cash may be made from Dalian Befut to WFOE and up to the Company, when necessary to meet the Company’s cash requirements, including, for example, to satisfy any debt obligations or make cash dividends. Such transfers must be made in compliance with applicable PRC laws regarding, among other things, currency controls, tax and payment of dividends.
Recent Development
On February 25, 2011, Dalian Befut sold its entire 86.6% equity interest in Befut Marine, a company engaged in the marketing and production of marine cables for Dalian Befut, to Mr. Fansheng Li, a noncontrolling shareholder of Befut Marine, for RMB 17,320,000 (approximately $2.67 million) in cash. As part of the transaction, the applicable certifications required for producing marine cables that were held by Befut Marine were transferred to WFOE. Dalian Befut, as the captive manufacturer for WFOE, will manufacture marine cable for the Company in accordance with the Manufacturing Agreement. As a result, the Company has determined that Dalian Befut’s sale of its entire equity interest in Befut Marine does not have any material adverse effect on the Company’s operation, business and financial position.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2011 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010
Sales
Our sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 were $9,443,346, an increase of $2,734,936, or 41%, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Approximately 32% of the total increased sales was attributable to increased sales of our traditional cable products, 63% was attributable to increased sales of our specialty cable products and 5% was attributable to increased sales of our switch appliances.
The increase in sales was primarily due to two factors: (i) an approximately 20% increase in our total sales volume driven by the increased demand for petrochemical and mining cable, and (ii) higher sales prices of our cable products and switch appliances which were primarily the result of an approximately 21% increase in the average price of copper, our primary raw material, in the quarter ended March 31, 2011, which increase we passed on to our customers. Copper constitutes approximately 70%-80% of the raw material components in our cable products.
The percentage of total sales that was attributable to sales of specialty cable, traditional cable and switch appliances for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was approximately 57%, 40% and 3%, representing an increase of 3%, a decrease of 3% and approximately no change, respectively, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Fluctuations in product percentages are mainly due to the changes in the product requirements of our customers.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes the expenses incurred to produce inventory for sale, including raw materials, direct labor, depreciation of manufacturing facilities and machinery, overheads, amortization of land use right as well as changes in reserves for shrinkage and inventory obsolescence. Our cost of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $6,945,831, representing an increase of $1,942,858, or 39%, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $2,497,515, representing an increase of $792,078, or 46%, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Gross profit margin was 26.45% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, representing an increase of 1.03%, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The increase of gross profit margin was primarily because our sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 included a higher percentage of specialty cable products, which have a significantly higher average gross margin than that of our other products, as compared to the same period in 2010. The gross profit margin of each category of our products for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was approximately 36% for specialty cable, 15% for traditional cable and 15% for switch appliances, as compared to gross profit margins of approximately 32% for specialty cable, 18% for traditional cable and 26% for switch applicances for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
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 $146,114 in the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $11,300 in the quarter ended March 31, 2010, representing an increase of $134,814, or 1,193%. The increase in selling expenses was mainly due to the increase in transportation expenses, entertainment expenses and travel expenses. General and administrative expenses were $983,787 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, representing an increase of $252,441, or 35%, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The increase of approximately $180,000 of general and administrative expenses from WFOE was mainly due to the manufacturing overhead recorded as general and administrative expense instead of cost of sales since WFOE did not generate any sales in January and February of 2011.
Income from Operations
Our operating income was $1,367,584 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, representing an increase of $404,793, or 42%, as compared to $962,791 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. This increase was a direct result of a significant increase in the gross profit of specialty cables, our leading product.
Government Subsidy
In the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we received subsidies from various PRC governmental bureaus in the aggregate amount of $84,352, representing a decrease of $246,786, or 75%, as compared to subsidies of $331,138 received in the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The subsidies received by the Company in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 were mainly Value Added Tax refunds.
Interest Expenses
Interest expense was $434,063 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, representing an increase of $72,383, or 20%, as compared to $361,680 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The increase was mainly because our short term bank loans for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 increased by approximately $6.1 million, as compared to approximately $5.3 million in the same period of 2010.
Income Taxes
In the quarter ended March 31, 2011, 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 $364,396 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, representing an increase of $57,698, or 19%, compared to $306,698 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
Net Income
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $782,767, representing an increase of $152,173, or 24%, as compared to net income of $630,594 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase of $404,793 in income from operations and the increase of $146,857 in income from discontinued operations, which was partially offset by a decrease in subsidy income of $246,789 and an increase in income tax provision of $57,698.
NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2011 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010
Sales
Our sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were $40,245,320, representing an increase of $20,927,207, or 108%, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Approximately 53% of the total increased sales was attributable to increased sales of our traditional cable products, 43% was attributable to increased sales of our specialty cable products and 4% was attributable to increased sales of our switch appliance business.
The increase in sales was primarily due to two factors: (i) an approximately 96% increase in our total sales volume driven by the increased demand for petrochemical and mining cable, and (ii) higher sales prices of our cable products and switch appliances, which were primarily the result of an approximately 12% increase in the average price of copper, our primary raw material, in nine months ended March 31, 2011, which we passed on to our customers. Copper constitutes approximately 70%-80% of the raw material components in our cable products.
The percentage of total sales that was attributable to sales of specialty cable, traditional cable and switch appliances for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was approximately 50%, 46% and 4%, representing a decrease of about 7%, an increase about 7% and approximately no change, respectively, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Fluctuations in product percentages are mainly due to the changes in the product requirements of our customers.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes the expenses incurred to produce inventory for sale, including raw materials, direct labor, depreciation of manufacturing facilities and machinery, overheads, amortization of land use right as well as changes in reserves for shrinkage and inventory obsolescence. Our cost of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $29,570,863, an increase of $15,469,793, or 110%, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $10,674,457, representing an increase of $5,457,414, or 105%, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Gross profit margin was 26.52% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, representing a decrease of 0.48%, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010. The slight decrease of gross profit margin was primarily because our sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 included approximately 7% less specialty cable products, which have a significantly higher average gross margin than that of our other products, as compared to the same period in 2010. The gross profit margin of each category of our products for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was approximately 36% for specialty cable, 18% for traditional cable and 8% for switch appliances [as compared to gross profit margins of approximately 35% for specialty cable, 17% for traditional cable and 11%] for switch applicances for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling expenses were $334,393 in the nine months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $48,001 in the nine months ended March 31, 2010, representing an increase of $286,392, or 597%. The increase in selling expenses was mainly due to the increase in transportation expenses, entertainment expenses and travel expenses. General and administrative expenses were $2,999,048 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $1,237,153, or 70%, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010. The increase of general and administrative expenses was mainly due to the increase in expenses from Dalian Yuansheng, Befut Zhong Xing and WFOE for approximately $420,000, $170,000 and $360,000 , respectively, compared to the same period in 2010.
Income from Operations
Our operating income was $7,341,016 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $3,933,869, or 115%, as compared to $3,407,147 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was a direct result of a significant increase in the gross profit of specialty cables, our leading product..
Government Subsidy
In the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we received subsidies from various PRC governmental bureaus in the aggregate amount of $251,834, representing a decrease of $433,962, or 63%, as compared to subsidies of $685,796 received in the nine months ended March 31, 2010.

Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $4,880,551, an increase of $2,571,611, or 111%, as compared to net income of $2,308,940 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase of $3,933,869 in income from operations and the increase of $267,359 in income from discontinued operations, which was partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $823,731 and an increase in income tax provision of $894,005.
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:
(dollars in thousands, except ratios) | | March 31, 2011 | | | June 30, 2010 | |
| | | | | | |
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash | | $ | 2,438 | | | $ | 2,500 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Working capital | | $ | 10,467 | | | $ | 4,833 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Ratio of current assets to current liabilities | | 1.4:1 | | | 1.4:1 | |
We have historically financed our operations and capital expenditures through cash flows from operations and bank loans.
Our approximately $5.63 million increase in working capital from June 30, 2010 to March 31, 2011 was primarily due to the increase of $16.42 million of current assets, which was partially offset by the increase of $10.8 million of current liabilities. The increase of current assets mainly includes the increase of $7.0 million of account receivables, and the increase of $3.25 million of inventory. The increase of current liabilities mainly includes the increase of $5.4 million of short term bank loans and the increase of $1.9 million of income tax payable.
We intend to use our available funds as working capital and to expand and develop our current business operations. We believe that our available funds will provide us with sufficient capital for at least the next twelve months; however, to the extent we expand our operations or make acquisitions, we may require additional funding, which may include debt and/or equity financing. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any equity financing may result in dilution to existing stockholders and any debt financing may include restrictive covenants.
Cash Flows
We had a net decrease of $872,515 in cash and cash equivalents from June 30, 2010 to March 31, 2011, as compared to a net increase of $1,205,256 from June 30, 2009 to March 31, 2010, respectively. The following table summarizes such changes:
| | For the nine months ended | |
| | March 31, 2011 | | | March 31, 2010 | |
Net cash used in operating activities | | $ | (3,498,910 | ) | | $ | (4,342,710 | ) |
Net cash used in investing activities | | $ | (2,434,842 | ) | | $ | (3,878,874 | ) |
Net cash used in financing activities | | $ | 5,122,800 | | | $ | 9,422,526 | |
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents | | $ | (872,515 | ) | | $ | 1,205,256 | |
Operating Activities
We used net cash of $3,498,910 for our operating activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2011, representing a decrease of $843,800, or 19%, as compared net cash of $4,342,710 used in the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Although the net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $4,880,551, representing a significant increase of $2,571,611, or 111%, as compared to net income of $2,308,940 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we still used net cash of $3,498,910 for our operating activities. The negative operating cash flow was primarily due to the increase of accounts receivable and inventory that we incurred as a result of significantly higher sales, as described earlier. The increase of approximately $2.4 million of inventory was mainly due to the increase of raw materials and finished goods in our expanded manufacturing operations.
Investing Activities
The net cash used in our investment activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $2,434,842, representing a decrease of $1,444,032, or 37%, as compared to $3,878,874 of net cash used in investment activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease was mainly due to, among other things, less cash used to pay construction and equipment expenses, and cash in the amount of approximately $2.67 million received from the sale of Dalian Befut’s entire equity interest in Befut Marine, which was partially offset by cash outflows, such as loans for approximately $4.5 million made to unrelated parties, Dalian Haide Electric Power Equipment Co., Ltd., one of our research and development partners, and Dalian Chenglian Electrical Installation Engineering Co., Ltd., one of our customers, to fund their working capital requirements. As of March 31, 2011, we had $5,668,683 in outstanding in loans to unrelated parties, as described in Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements.
Financing Activities
The net cash provided by our financing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $5,122,800, representing a decrease of $4,299,726, or 46%, as compared to $9,422,526 of net cash used in the nine months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease was mainly due to approximately $1.6 million less in long and short term bank loans and approximately $1.5 million less in borrowings from unrelated parties in the nine months ended March 31, 2011, as compared in the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Approximately $5.1 million in cash provided by financing activities was primarily from additional short term bank loans obtained during the period.

Accounts Receivable
The balance of our accounts receivable was $16,279,594, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $86,349, as of March 31, 2011, as compared to $9,292,310, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $83,295, as of June 30, 2010. The days’ sales in receivables for the last twelve months ended March 31, 2011 were 101 days, compared to 103 days for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
Inventories
Inventories consisted of the following as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively:
(dollars) | | March 31, 2011 | | | June30, 2010 | |
Category | | | | | | |
Raw materials | | $ | 2,419,354 | | | $ | 1,093,193 | |

Total inventories | | $ | 5,799,198 | | | $ | 2,543,789 | |
We had total inventory of $5,799,198 as of March 31, 2011, representing an increase of $3,255,409, or 128%, as compared to inventory of $2,543,789 as of June 30, 2010. Days’ sales in inventory for the last twelve months ended March 31, 2011 were 37 days, compared to 40 days for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At March 31, 2011, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Foreign Currency Exchange
During the 3 month period ended March 31, 2011, the U.S. Dollar and RMB exchange rate fluctuated from RMB 6.6227 to 1 U.S. Dollar to RMB 6.5564 to 1 U.S. Dollar, an increase of approximately 1% in the value of the RMB. As a result of the minimum appreciation of the RMB during this period, the Company believes that currency fluctuations have not had a material impact on the Company’s cash flows, revenues and financial condition.
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 (“US 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 US 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
The Company derives its 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", the Company considers 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. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. Periodically, management assesses customer credit history and relationships as well as performs accounts receivable aging analysis. Based on the results, management determines whether certain balances are deemed uncollectible at the end of period. Using its past collection experience, the Company reserves 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. The Company generally provides customers with credit terms of three to four months. However, we provide our “large” customers, those with average annual specialty cable orders of over $7 million, with credit terms of five to six months. We generally do not conduct further business with customers that have significant unpaid accounts receivable balances beyond 12 months, unless we receive advance payments from such customers. As of March 31, 2011, the amount of our receivables ages less than one year, 1-2 years and more than two years was $16,172,085, $190,236 and $3,621, respectively.
Consolidation
Pursuant to ASC 810-10-15-14, an entity is deemed to be a VIE, and thus to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, if, by intention, any one of the following conditions is present:
| A. | The total equity investment at risk in the legal entity to be consolidated is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, including equity holders; or |
| B. | As a group, holders of the equity investment at risk lack any one of the following characteristics of a controlling financial interest: |
| 1. The power, through voting rights or similar rights to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact that entity’s economic performance. |
| 2. The obligation to absorb the expected losses of the legal entity. Such an obligation does not exist if the shareholders/investors are directly or indirectly protected from losses or are guaranteed a return on their investment by the legal entity itself or by other parties involved with the legal entity. |
| 3. The right to receive expected residual returns of the legal entity. Such right is not considered to be present if the residual returns are capped by the legal entity's governing documents or by other arrangements with other variable interest holders or the legal entity itself. |
Under the OEM Agreements, Dalian Befut can only manufacture products for WFOE and cannot compete with WFOE in the same or similar lines of business. Dalian Befut is a captive manufacturer with the sole business purpose of providing manufacturing services to WFOE and is solely dependent on the business provided by WFOE, its primary beneficiary. As WFOE controls all of the potential and future risks and benefits of Dalian Befut, WFOE has the power to significantly impact the economic performance of Dalian Befut. Furthermore, while Messrs. Hongbo Cao and Tingmin Li are the two controlling shareholders of Dalian Befut, collectively owning an aggregate of 98.6% of the equity interests in Dalian Befut, the Company believes that, due to the OEM Agreements, WFOE, instead of Messrs. Cao and Li, has the power to direct the activities of Dalian Befut to significantly impact the economic performance of Dalian Befut. Based on the aforementioned assessment, Dalian Befut is a VIE of the Company under ASC 810-10-15-14-B.1. above, and as such, is consolidated into the Company. Although the Company is only required to meet one criteria under ASC 810-10-15-14 in order to consolidate Dalian Befut, the Company believes that facts and circumstances exist that would allow it to meet certain other qualifying criteria set forth in ASC 810-10-15-14.
