EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Amended 10-Q”) of BEFUT International Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) amends the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 15, 2010 (the “Original 10-Q”). In connection with the preparation of its responses to comments received from the SEC, the Company identified certain reporting errors and omissions in the Original 10-Q and in its previously issued financial statements, some of which the Company considers material. The Amended 10-Q is being filed to amend the Original 10-Q as follows:
| · | Revise the Consolidated Balance Sheet to reclassify advance payments for fixed assets and research and development as non-current assets; |
| · | Revise the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income into two separate statements: Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income; |
| · | Revise the Statements of Operations to present interest expenses separately from interest income; |
| · | Reclassify certain line items in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows resulting in changes from net cash used in operating activities of $882,182 to $2,362,255 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and from net cash used in operating activities of $294,225 to net cash provided by operating activities of $291,775 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, and changes from net cash provided from financing activities of $178,888 to $1,658,961 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and from net cash provided by financing activities of $233,448 to net cash used in financing activities of $352,552; |
| · | Revise “Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business” to include the description of interest in Dalian Yuansheng; |
| · | Revise Basis of Presentation under “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to include consolidation as a critical accounting policy; |
| · | Revise “Note 5 – Loans to Unrelated Parties” to identify the unrelated parties; |
| · | Add a footnote for Bank Loan Security Deposits; |
| · | Revise “Note 9 – Advance Payments – Research and Development” to address that these amounts are determined to be recoverable; |
| · | Revise “Note 11 – Trade Notes Payable” to include the maturity date of the promissory notes; |
| · | Revise “Note 13 – Loans from Unrelated Parties” to include information regarding maturity dates and financial or non-financial covenants associated with these loans; |
| · | Add a footnote for Government Subsidy Income; |
| · | Revise “Note 16 – Stockholders’ Equity and Related Financing Agreements” to include a summary of intangible assets received for ownership; |
| · | Revise “Note 17 – Income Taxes” to address the timing of the Company’s payments for income taxes; |
| · | Add a footnote for Restatement to Reflect Correction of Accounting Errors; |
| · | Add the words “Restated”, as applicable, to column headings of certain financial tables; |
| · | Make several minor, miscellaneous corrections in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;” and |
| · | Amend and restate, in its entirety, Item 4 “Controls and Procedures,” due to the errors and omissions in the Company’s financial statements, to state that the Company had material weaknesses in its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting at September 30, 2010. |
Except as set forth above, the Amended 10-Q is identical to the Original 10-Q. The Amended 10-Q does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original 10-Q and no attempt has been made in the Amended 10-Q to modify or update other disclosures as presented in the Original 10-Q. Accordingly, this Amended 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-Q. Additionally, the Company has attached to the Amended 10-Q updated certifications executed as of the date of the Amended 10-Q by the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. These updated certifications are attached as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2 to the Amended 10-Q.

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 (the “OEM 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. Its current shareholders are 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 (approximately $147,000). Dalian Befut invested RMB700,000 (approximately $103,000) for its 70% equity interest in Befut Zhong Xing. In January, 2010, Dalian Befut increased its investment capital to RMB14.7 million (approximately $2 million) with a transfer of intangible assets to Befut Zhong Xing on 1/1/2010 and raised its equity ownership percentage in Befut Zhong Xing to 73.5%. The noncontrolling interest also increased its equity investment by contributing additional cash of RMB 5,000,000 (approximately $733,350).

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.

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 WFOE 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 Company does not recognize any benefits in the financial statements for the three month ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Overview
We believe that we are one of the most competitive manufacturers of specialty cables in northeastern China. For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, approximately 45% of our revenues were generated from traditional cable and almost 55% revenues were generated from specialty cable. Our cable products consist of (i) traditional electric power system cable and (ii) an assortment of specialty cable, including marine cable, mining specialty cable, petrochemical cable We also have developed the capability to produce other types of special cable such as carbon fiber composite cable, submarine cable and certain “new energy” cable, including cable for wind and solar energy. In addition, we have recently begun to develop and produce switch applications, including high and low voltage distribution cabinet switches and crane electronic control switches, which products compliment our cable product offerings.
Recent Developments
On July 16, 2010, Dalian Befut acquired 60% of equity interests of Dalian Yuansheng for $88,235 (the registered capital value of such equity interests) from Mr. Chengnian Yan. Dalian Befut also increased Dalian Yuansheng’s registered capital by RMB 5 million (or US$735,294), thereby increasing Dalian Befut’s total equity interest to 93.3%. Dalian Yuansheng is engaged in researching, developing and manufacturing conductive carbon-fiber to provide Dalian Befut with the raw materials it needs to produce carbon fiber composite cable products. One of the principal shareholders of Dalian Yuansheng holds three patents for carbon fiber composite cable, one of which was transferred to Dalian Yuansheng in October 2010, and the remaining two of which are expected to be transferred to Dalian Yuansheng in April, 2011. As of the date of Dalian Befut’s acquisition, Dalian Yuansheng had no material operations. The transaction was accounted for as a business acquisition pursuant to ASC 805-10. The business acquisition will not have a significant impact on the Company’s future financial statements and results of operations.
Carbon fiber composite core is acknowledged in the cable industry to be the preferred replacement for steel core inside the aluminum contained in high voltage cable products. Compared to traditional steel core, carbon fiber composite core possesses twice the strength, higher conductivity, lower sag, lighter weight, less corrosion, better temperature resistance and the ability to eliminate line freeze. After heavy ice and snow severely damaged the Hunan power grid in 2008, the State Grid Corporation of China modified its technical standards for high voltage cables used in the national power grid to protect against similar disasters in the future. Carbon fiber composite cable products are widely considered to be the best choice for complying with the new standard.
Dalian Yuansheng is located in Changxing Island Harbor Industrial Zone. We plan to invest RMB4,020,000 to purchase equipment for six production lines as part of our first phase to towards achieving an annual production capacity of 500,000 meters (500 km) of carbon fiber composite core. As of September 30, 2010, we invested RMB1,340,000 to purchase the equipment for two production lines. We intend to install the remaining production lines by the end of 2011. Our innovative carbon fiber composite cable provides us with a relatively higher profit margin as compared to our other specialty cable products. We currently sell our carbon fiber composite cable to Xinjiang Tebian Electric Apparatus Stock Co. Ltd. for testing in the Northwest Power Grid of China and to North China Electric Power (Group) Co. Ltd for testing in the North Power Grid of China. Due to the change in standards for high voltage cables, we expect that there will be a high demand in China for our carbon fiber composite cable products in the near future.
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, an Intellectual Property Rights License Agreement and a Non-competition 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, as disclosed under Item 1A - Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, 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.

Sales
Our sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 were $15,930,811, an increase of $10,447,152, or 191%, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to three factors: (i) significantly increased demand for our traditional cables and specialty cables from new and existing customers as compared to the demand for such products in three months ended September 30, 2009, (ii) the increase of our annual production capacity after we relocated 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 quarter ended September 30, 2010, which we passed on to our customers. However, the percentage of sales of specialty cable as total sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was about 55%, a decrease of 5%, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales is primarily comprised of the cost of raw materials used in the production of our cable products, direct labor and manufacturing overhead expenses. Our cost of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $11,670,760, an increase of $7,807,986, or 202%, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The percentage increase in our cost of sales was slightly higher than the percentage increase in our sales due to the cost of traditional cable product is higher than that of specialty cable product and we produced more traditional cable products as percentage of total sales, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $4,260,051, an increase of $2,639,166, or 163%, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 26.7% for the quarter September 2010, a decrease of 2.8%, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The decrease of gross profit rate is again primarily due to that we produced less percentage of specialty cable products which has usually much higher gross margin, as compared to the same quarter last year.
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 $38,607 in the quarter ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $21,873 in the quarter ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $16,734, or 76.5%. General and administrative expenses were $1,011,620 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $423,335, or 72.0%, as compared to the quarter September 30, 2009. The increase of general and administrative expenses are mainly due to the increase in expenses from Dalian Yuansheng, Befut Zhong Xing and WFOE for $215,648, $33,573 and $72,426, respectively.
Income from Operations
Our operating income was $3,209,824 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $2,199,097, or 217.6%, as compared to $1,010,727 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. This increase was a result of a significant increase in the gross profit of our business of wire and cable manufacturing, partially offset by an increase of selling, general and administrative expenses.
Government Subsidy
In the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we received subsidies from various PRC governmental bureaus in the aggregate amount of $136,487, as compared to subsidies of $49,954 received in the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The subsidies received by the Company in the quarter ended September 30, 2010 consisted of (i) $73,950 received from the Finance Bureau of Dalian and the Economic and Information Commission of Dalian recognizing the Company as a Newly Identified Municipal Technical Center, (ii) $29,580 received from the Appropriation of Technology Innovation Fund of the Department of Finance of Liaoning Province, and (iii) a refund of $26,745 for value added taxes paid by the Company at the end of 2009.
Interest Expenses
Interest expense was $394,902 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $262,593, or 198.5%, as compared to $132,309 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. Such increase is due to the increase of our total bank loans.
Income Taxes
In the quarter ended September 30, 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 $807,135 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $558,231, or 224%, compared to $248,904 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Net Income
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $2,183,899, an increase of $1,498,734, or 218.7%, as compared to net income of $685,165 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase of $2,639,166 in gross profit, which was partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses of $423,335, an increase in interest expense of $262,593 and an increase in income tax provision of $558,231.
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) | | September 30, 2010 | | | June 30, 2010 | |
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash | | $ | 3,161 | | | $ | 2,500 | |
Working capital | | $ | 5,883 | | | $ | 4,833 | |
Ratio of current assets to current liabilities | | 1.3:1 | | | 1.4:1 | |
Our approximately $1 million increase in working capital from June 30, 2010 to September 30, 2010 was primarily due to the increase of $7 million of current assets and the increase of $6.0 million of current liabilities. The increase of current assets mainly includes the increase of $4.9 million of account receivables, the increase of $1.3 million of inventory and the increase of $1.3 million of advance payments and partially offset by the decrease of $2.1 million advance payments on R&D in the part of current assets due to a reclassification. The increase of current liabilities mainly includes the increase of $3 million of trade notes payable, the increase of $1.6 million of loans from unrelated parties and the increase of $0.8 million of income tax payable.
Cash Flows
We had a net decrease of $856,727 in cash and cash equivalents from June 30, 2010 to September 30, 2010, as compared to a net decrease of $32,226 from June 30, 2009 to September 30, 2009, respectively. The following table summarizes such changes:
| | For the three months Ended | |
(dollars in thousands) | | September 30, 2010 | | | September 30, 2009 | |
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | | $ | (2,362 | ) | | $ | 292 | |
Net cash used in investing activities | | $ | (137 | ) | | $ | 27 | |
Net cash provided by financing activities | | $ | 1,659 | | | $ | (353 | ) |
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash | | $ | (857 | ) | | $ | (32 | ) |
We used net cash of $2,362,255 for our operating activities in the quarter ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $2,654,030, or 910.0%, as compared to $291,775 in the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The net cash used in our investment activities in the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $137,297, an increase of $164,471, as compared to $27,174 of net cash provided by investment activities in the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The net cash obtained from our financing activities in the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $1,658,961 , significantly more than the cash obtained in the quarter ended September 30, 2009. 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
During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, net cash used in operating activities was $2,362,255, an increase of $2,654,030, as compared to $291,775 of net cash provided by operating activities during the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The variance was primarily due to the increase of accounts receivable, advance payments and trade notes payable. The $4.7 million increase of accounts receivable for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was mainly due to our significant increase of quarterly sales from approximately $5.48 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to approximately $15.93 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase of advance payments was mainly due to payments made for new facilities in connection with the construction of Phase I of the Changxing Island project. Trade notes payable also increased significantly, which was mainly due to the increased purchases of raw materials, primarily copper rods.
Investing Activities
During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we used net cash in investing activities of $137,297, an increase of $164,471, as compared to $27,174 in net cash we provided in investing activities for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Financing Activities
During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, net cash provided by financing activities was $1,658,961, an increase of $2,011,513, as compared to net cash of $352,552 used in financing activities for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Financial Obligations
As of September 30, 2010, our outstanding loans were as follows:
Creditors | | Loan Amount | | | Interest Rate | | Term | | Maturity Date |
Harbin Bank | | $ | 2,994,000 | | | | 6.372 | % | 1 year | | 09/13/11 |
Bank of Dalian | | $ | 2,395,200 | | | | 6.903 | % | 1 year | | 10/29/10 |
Bank of East Asia | | $ | 748,500 | | | | 6.318 | % | 6 months | | 12/25/10 |
China Development Bank | | $ | 14,970,000 | | | | 6.237 | % | 7 years | | 11/01/16 |
Accounts Receivable
The balance of our accounts receivable was $14,236,184, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $84,625, as of September 30, 2010, 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 September 30, 2010 were 125 days, compared to 107 days for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The Company’s sales strategy has shifted to large customers since the Company moved its manufacturing operations to its Changxing Island facility. As a result, the credit terms are longer for large customers, such as China National Petroleum Corporation. As at September 30, 2010, the balance for accounts receivable with the aging of more than one year was approximately $80,000. The Company believes the allowance for doubtful accounts was adequate.
Inventories
Inventories consisted of the following as of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively:
(dollars) | | Sept. 30, 2010 | | | June 30, 2010 | |
Category | | | | | | |
Raw materials | | $ | 1,262,275 | | | $ | 1,093,193 | |
Work-in-process | | | 555,545 | | | | 323,275 | |
Finished goods | | | 2,011,392 | | | | 1,127,321 | |
Total inventories | | $ | 3,829,212 | | | $ | 2,543,789 | |
We had total inventory of $3,829,212 as of September 30, 2010, an increase of $1,285,423, or 50.5%, as compared to inventory of $2,543,789 as of June 30, 2010. Days’ sales in inventory for the last twelve months ended September 30, 2010 were 45 days, compared to 40 days for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. This increase was primarily due to the significant increases in our production in last two quarters.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At September 30, 2010, we did not have any 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 (“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.
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.
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.
Consolidation
Pursuant to ASC 810-10-15-14, an entity is deemed to be a variable interest entity, or 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. |
On February 16, 2009, WFOE entered into an Original Manufacturer Agreement (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 provide 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 “Noncompete Agreement”, together with the IP Agreement and Manufacturing Agreement, collectively, the “OEM Agreements”). 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 90% 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.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on their evaluation, in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 as originally filed with the SEC on November 15, 2010, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer each concluded that, as of September 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
However, in connection with the preparation of our responses to comments received from the SEC, we identified certain reporting errors and omissions in our previously issued financial statements. We subsequently determined that a restatement was required for our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. As a result of the foregoing, management determined that a material weakness existed with respect to our financial reporting. This weakness was a result of our insufficient disclosure of certain required information by inexperienced staff, which required the restatement of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
As a result of the material weakness identified with respect to our financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reevaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2010. As of the date of this amended report on Form 10-Q/A, we are undertaking steps to correct the aforementioned material weakness by:
| • | Establishing policies and procedures of transaction level and type to improve our internal control environment; |
| • | Implementing a financial closing process check list including major book closure steps to perform consolidation and reviews; and |
| • | Recruiting qualified accounting professionals with sufficient US GAAP knowledge to enhance the quality of our financial reporting preparation. |
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that under the framework set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, our internal control over financial reporting was effective. However, due to the restatement of our financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2010 and for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 as described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer reassessed that conclusion and determined that there existed a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010. Management has determined that the design and operation of internal control over financial reporting that we had in place at September 30, 2010 was not effective to allow our management, employees and consultants, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely and reasonable basis. That material weakness was due to our short staffing of accounting professionals with sufficient knowledge of US GAAP and relevant disclosure requirements.
Because we were not aware of this material weakness until after the quarter ended March 31, 2011, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As of the date of this amended report on Form 10-Q/A, we are undertaking the aforementioned steps to remediate the weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting.
