We make forward-looking statements in this report, in other materials we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or otherwise release to the public, and on our website. In addition, our senior management might make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others. Statements concerning our future operations, prospects, strategies, financial condition, future economic performance (including growth and earnings) and demand for our products and services, and other statements of our plans, beliefs, or expectations, including the statements contained in this Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation,” regarding our future plans, strategies and expectations are forward-looking statements. In some cases these statements are identifiable through the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements because these forward-looking statements we make are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to various assumptions, risks, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by these forward-looking statements. Thus, our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to, changes in: economic conditions generally and the medical instruments market specifically, legislative or regulatory changes that affect our business, including changes in healthcare regulation, the availability of working capital, the introduction of competing products, and other risk factors described herein. These risks and uncertainties, together with the other risks described from time -to -time in reports and documents that we filed with the SEC should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Indeed, it is likely that some of our assumptions will prove to be incorrect. Our actual results and financial position will vary from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements and the variances may be material. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
We were originally incorporated as NB Payphones Ltd. under the laws of the state of Pennsylvania on November 16, 1999. On December 27, 2005, we migrated our state of organization to the state of Nevada and effective March 23, 2006, our name changed to NB Telecom, Inc.
On December 24, 2008, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Favor Sea Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation, through China XD Plastics Company Limited, a Nevada corporation (the “Merger Sub”) wholly owned by the Company. Favor Sea Limited is a holding company whose only asset, held through a subsidiary, is 100% of the registered capital of Harbin Xinda Macromolecule Material Co., Ltd. (“Xinda”).
Xinda is a manufacturer and developer of modified plastics. We believe that Xinda is one of the primary modified plastics manufacturers for automotive applications in the PRC, developing and producing made-to-order modified plastics and providing after-sales services to such automotive brands as Audi, Red Flag, VW Golf, and Mazda6.

YearEnded December 31, 2008 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2007
Net sales
During the year ended December 31, 2008, we had net sales of $75.8 million, as compared with net sales of $34.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of approximately $41.6 million, or 122% due to our increased and expanded sales both in volume and of new variety of products to our existing and new customers
Cost of sales & gross margin
During the year ended December 31, 2008, we had cost of sales of $58.4 million, as compared with cost of sales of $27.8 million during the same period in 2007, an increase of approximately $30.6 million, or 110%, reflecting the increase in net sales. The gross profit rose to $17.3million 2007, or a 173% increase during the year ended December 31, 2008 compared with $6.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2007. Our gross margin increased from 18.6% during the year ended December 31, 2007 to 22.9% during the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase was mainly attributed to the significant increase of revenue generated from higher margin products for automotive application.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses were $2,849,292 during the year ended December 31, 2008, compared with $724,935 during the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $2,124,357 or approximately 293%. The increase in operating expenses was principally due to the increased depreciation expenses and payroll expenses. Selling expenses increased from $131,772 during the year ended December 31, 2007 to $322,650 during the year ended December 31, 2008 as we increased our efforts to obtain more customers. General and administrative expenses increased from $403,834 during the year ended December 31, 2007 to $1,747,648 the year ended December 31, 2008, reflecting the increased salary expense, depreciation expense and other expenses pertinent to the reverse merger and listing in the US. Research and development expenses were increased during the year ended December 31, 2007 to the year ended December 31, 2008 reflecting our increased efforts in new product development by adding more researchers and increasing raw material usage. As a result, our operating income increased to $14,484,337 during the year ended December 31, 2008 from $5,622,507 during the year ended December 31, 2007.
22
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $534,975 from $152,684 during the year ended December 31, 2007 to $687,659 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase interest expense resulted from the increase in our loans and notes payable during 2008, as we borrowed to fund the rapid growth in our sales and the development of our manufacturing facility.
Net Income
As a result of the factors described above, we had net income of $13,687,490 during the year ended December 31, 2008, compared with $5,272,570 during the year ended December 31, 2007.
Comprehensive Income
As a result of a currency translation adjustment, our comprehensive income was $14,595,559 during the year ended December 31, 2008, compared with $5,755,501 during the year ended December 31, 2007. The change is due to the significant currency exchange fluctuation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2008, we had $3,869,035 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to only $87,455 on December 31, 2007. There was a net increase in cash and cash equivalent of $3,781,580 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The net increase in cash and cash equivalents for the period was mainly due to the increase in our loans and notes payables.
Operations
For the year ended December 31, 2008, cash used in operations was $4,874,185 as opposed to $1,914,643 generated in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2007. Decrease in our cash liquidity is mainly due to our significant increased amounts in advance to suppliers, inventory, account receivable and other receivables and decrease in tax payable and account payable.
Investments
Cash used in investing activities was $11,926,327 for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to only $4,249,292 for the year ended December 31, 2007. We have invested heavily in purchases of new production equipments, which accounted for majority of the cash used in investing activities in 2008.
Financing
For the year ended December 31, 2008, we have financed a total amount of $ 20,509,249 as compared to $1,890,656 provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2007. Increase in cash provided by financing activities is due to the increased funding from short term loans and related party loan in order to fulfill increased sales orders from our customers.
The primary sources of cash in 2008 were from financing activities. For the year ended December 31, 2008, we have financed a total amount of $ 20,509,249. The Company expects to complete an assets acquisition with an affiliated company by the end of 2009. The company expects the funds for this investing activity will come from outside financing.
23
Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe our cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures (other than the Xinda High-Tech arrangement) and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations for at least the next 12 months.
The majority of the Company’s revenues and expenses were denominated primarily in Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency of the People’s Republic of China. There is no assurance that exchange rates between the RMB and the U.S. Dollar will remain stable. The Company does not engage in currency hedging. Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company’s business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Neither us, nor any of our subsidiaries has any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on their financial condition or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
China XD Plastics Company Ltd
(Formerly NB Telecom, Inc)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China XD Plastics Company Ltd (formerly NB Telecom, Inc) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. China XD Plastics Company Ltd’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of China XD Plastics Company Ltd as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007
Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
China XD Plastics Company Ltd. (“China XD Plastics” or the “Company”), formerly known as NB Telecom, Inc., was originally incorporated as NB Payphones Ltd. under the laws of the state of Pennsylvania on November 16, 1999. On December 27, 2005, we migrated our state of organization to the state of Nevada and effective March 23, 2006, the name changed to NB Telecom, Inc.
On December 24, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Favor Sea Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation, through China XD Plastics Company Limited, a Nevada corporation (the “Merger Sub”) wholly owned by the Company. Favor Sea Limited is a holding company whose only asset, held through a subsidiary, is 100% of the registered capital of Harbin Xinda Macromolecule Material Co., Ltd. (“Xinda”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“China” or “PRC”). Xinda is engaged in the development, manufacture and marketing of modified plastics, primarily for use in the automotive industry. Xinda’s offices and manufacturing facilities are located in China.
In connection with the acquisition, the following transactions took place:
| | |
| • | The Merger Sub issued 10 shares of the common stock of the Merger Sub which constituted no more than 10% ownership interest in the Merger Sub and 1,000,000 shares of convertible Series A preferred stock of the Company to the shareholders of Favor Sea Limited, and also 1,000,000 shares of Series B preferred stock to XD Engineering Plastics Company Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation, the principal shareholder of Favor Sea Limited (“XD”), in exchange for all of the outstanding stock of Favor Sea Limited (the “Share Exchange” or “Merger”). The 10 shares of the common stock of the Merger Sub were converted into approximately 50,367,778 shares of the common stock of the Company prior to and approximately 405,802 post a reverse stock split of 124.1 for 1 pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.207 for both the total number of authorized shares of common stock and the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock (“Reverse Split”), and the 1,000,000 shares of convertible Series A preferred stock of the Company shall convert approximately at a rate of 1:38.2 into 38,194,072 shares of the common stock of the Company after the completion of the Merger so that eventually the shareholders of Favor Sea Limited own approximately 99% of the common stock of the Company. |
| | |
| • | The record date for the Reverse Split is set for December 31, 2008. The record holders of the Company’s common stock on the date of December 31, 2008 shall be subject to a 124.1:1 reverse split with fractional shares to be rounded up to one hundred round lot, with the round-up shares to be deducted from certain designated shareholders by the Company. |

| | |
| • | As part of the Merger, the Company’s name is changed from “NB Telecom, Inc.” to the Merger Sub’s name “China XD Plastics Company Limited.” |
As a result of these transactions, the shareholders of Favor Sea now own majority of the equity in the Company. In addition, persons affiliated with Xinda will control the Board of Directors of the Company ten days after the notice pursuant to Rule 14f-1 is mailed to the shareholders of record.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse merger under the purchase method of accounting since there has been a change of control. Accordingly, Favor Sea and its subsidiaries are treated as the continuing entities for accounting purposes.
Favor Sea Limited was incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on May 2, 2008.
On August 11, 2008, Favor Sea acquired 100% interest of Hong Kong Engineering Plastics Company Limited (“HK Engineering Plastics”), a Limited Liability Company organized under the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administration Region on May 27, 2008.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company, Favor Sea, HK Plastics Engineering, Harbin Xinda and the Research Institute. All significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
In preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets and the valuation of inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flow, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accountsreceivable
Accounts receivables consist primarily of receivables resulting from sales of products, and are stated at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts. The allowance is calculated based upon the evaluation and the level of past due accounts and the relationship with and the economic status of the customers.
Inventory
Inventory is composed of raw materials, packing materials, work in process and finished goods. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined by the weighted average method. Management periodically compares the cost of inventory with the market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its market value, if lower than cost. No allowance for inventory is considered necessary for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and locations for its intended use. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:
| | | |
| Buildings and improvements | | 39 years |
| Machinery, equipment and automobiles | | 5-10 years |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Advance to suppliers
Advance to suppliers represent the payments made and recorded in advance for goods and services received. The Company makes advances to raw materials purchased from certain agents overseas, which account for 60% of raw materials needed. In order to maintain a long-term relationship with the vendors, the Company frequently needs to make advances from one and half month to three months ahead. The advances to suppliers were $13,131,074 as of December 31, 2008 and $1,746,063 as of December 31, 2007.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. No impairment loss is recorded for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income tax under the provisions of SFAS No.109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of the events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences between tax and financial statements bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established against net deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. There are no deferred tax amounts recognized at ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Revenue recognition
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exists and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses are costs associated with developing the Company’s intellectual property. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of equipments that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities and have alternative future uses are classified as plant and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The research and development expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $778,994 and $189,329, respectively.
Earnings per share
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS’) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”), and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”). SFAS No. 128 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable and other receivables. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of its clients’ financial condition and customer payment practices to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.
Risks and uncertainties
The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, taxes payable, notes payable and other loans payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amounts of short-term loans from bank approximate the fair value based on the Company’s expected borrowing rate for debt with similar remaining maturities and comparable risk.
Foreign currency translation
The Company’s functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”). For financial reporting purposes, RMB has been translated into United States dollars (“USD”) as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income”. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translations are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. There is no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.

Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R),Business Combinations, was issued. SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations.SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called thepurchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. This replaces SFAS 141’s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages (sometimes referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2007 An entity may not apply it before that date. SFAS 141 (R) will significantly affect the accounting for future business combinations and we will determine the accounting as new combinations occur.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,”Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-2 (FSP 157-2), which delays the effective date of FAS 157 one year for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. FSP 157-2 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2009. We do not believe the adoption of FSP 157-2 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items on our financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No. 161 may have on our financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 142-3, “Determination of Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing the renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” FSP 142-3 also requires expanded disclosure regarding the determination of intangible asset useful lives. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is not permitted. We do not believe the adoption of FSP 142-3 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. RESTRICTED CASH
For the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had restricted cash of $3,664,346 and $5,428,673 respectively. The Company’s lenders require the Company to maintain with the lending banks a cash balance of a minimum 40% -50% of the balance of the bank acceptance notes payable (see Note 12) and 10% of the short-term loan (see Note 11) as collateral for the company’s obligations to the lenders.
Note 4. ACCOUNT RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivables consist of trade receivables resulting from sales of products during the normal course of business. Account receivables for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007amounted to $ 11,234,507and $5,117,840, respectively.
The Company collaborates directly with its end users on new product development, product certifications and post-sales support. Sales contracts are usually signed directly between the Company and its end users. Due to nature of this industry, the Company also regularly uses a third party agent to sell its products to various end users. This arrangement can greatly ensure timely collections of its accounts receivables. As of December 31, 2008, this agent accounted for majority of the total account receivable outstanding. The Company believes that all of the accounts receivable outstanding with this customer are collectible.

Note 13. INCOME TAXES
(a) Corporation income tax (“CIT”)
The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China concerning the private-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at a new statutory rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments.
On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China approved the Corporate Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (the New CIT Law), which is effective from January 1, 2008. Under the new law, the corporate income tax rate applicable to all Companies, including both domestic and foreign-invested companies, will be 25%, replacing the old tax rate of 33%. However, pending the detailed implementation rulings from the tax authorities, we believe that some of the tax concession granted to eligible companies prior to the new CIT laws will be grand fathered.
The Company is located in a special economic development zone and is recognized as a high technology company by the Chinese government. Therefore, it is entitled to a full exemption of special 15% CIT for two years from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2007 and 50% reduction in CIT for three years at a favorable tax rate of 7.5% from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2010. The income tax expense of $35,332 for year ended December 31, 2008 is attributed to the net income of $271,571 derived from Harbin Xinda. The majority of the net income for the period was from the Research Institute, which is a separate entity and whose income is exempt from the income tax under the current law of China.
The following table reconciles the statutory rates to the Company’s effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007:

Item 9. | Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants On Accounting and Financial Disclosure. |
On December 31, 2008, the Company changed its principal independent accountants.

The decision to change accountants was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on December 31, 2008.
The dismissal of Robison, Hill & Co.
Robison, Hill & Co. was the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2008. None of Robinson, Hill & Co.’s reports on the Company’s financial statements from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2008, (a) contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, (b) was modified as to uncertainty other than mentioned below, audit scope, or accounting principles, or (c) contained any disagreements on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Robison, Hill & Co., would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports. None of the reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(ii) of Regulation S-K occurred during the period in which Robison, Hill & Co. served as the Company’s principal independent accountants.
In accordance with Item 304(a)(3), the Company has provided Robison, Hill & Co. with a copy of this disclosure and has requested that Robison, Hill & Co. furnish it with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements, and if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)), as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was completed; our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.
A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. An internal control material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
We have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. This evaluation was performed using the Internal Control – Evaluation Framework developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on such evaluation, management identified deficiencies that were determined to be a material weakness.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of the material weakness described below, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2008.
The specific material weakness and significant deficiency identified by the Company’s management as of December 31, 2008 is described as follows:
26
Material Weakness
Inadequate US GAAP expertise — The current staff in the accounting department is inexperienced in US GAAP and they were primarily engaged in ensuring compliance with PRC accounting and reporting requirement for our operating subsidiaries was not required to meet or apply U.S. GAAP requirements. They need substantial training to meet the higher demands of being a U.S. public company. The accounting skills and understanding necessary to fulfill the requirements of US GAAP-based reporting, including the skills of subsidiary financial statements consolidation, are inadequate.
The Company did not have sufficient and skilled accounting personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge and experience in the application of generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States of America commensurate with the Company’s financial reporting requirements, which resulted in a number of internal control deficiencies that were identified as being significant. The Company’s management believes that the number and nature of these significant deficiencies, when aggregated, was determined to be a material weakness.
Significant Deficiency
The Company is lacking qualified resources to perform the internal audit functions properly. In addition, the scope and effectiveness of the Company’s internal audit function are yet to be developed. We are committed to establishing the internal audit functions but due to limited qualified resources in the region, we were not able to hire sufficient internal audit resources before the end of 2008. However, internally we have started the process to recruit more senior qualified people in order to improve our internal control procedures. Externally, we also seek qualified consultant to assist the Company in improving the Company’s internal control system based on COSO Framework. We also will increase our efforts to hire the qualified resources.
Remediation Initiative
Prior to December 31, 2008, we engaged external qualified consultant in the US to serve as our accountant. She is mainly engaged to perform our financial statements consolidation and to prepare our financial statements. In addition, we are seeking accountants experienced in several key areas of accounting, including persons with experience in Chinese and U.S. GAAP, U.S. GAAP consolidation requirements, and SEC financial reporting requirements. In addition, we plan to allocate additional resources to train our existing accounting staff and continue this effort in the future.
Conclusion
Despite of the material weakness and deficiencies reported above, the Company’s management believes that its consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented and that this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as described above, there were no changes in its internal controls over financial reporting in connection with its fourth quarter evaluation that would materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

Item 13. | Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence |
Related Party Transactions
Jie Han, our Chief Executive Officer, is affiliated with two companies that have engaged in transactions with Xinda during the past two years. Mr. Han has used these two companies as a source of raw materials and equipment financing for Xinda, in order to reduce Xinda’s working capital expenses.
Harbin Xinda High-Tech Co., Ltd. (“Xinda High-Tech) was founded by incumbent president of Xinda, Mr. Jie Han, in July 2003. Xinda Hegh-Tech is mainly engaged in production of electrical wire and wire harness and transactions of plastic materials. Mr. Jie Han transferred 89.29% shares he held in Xinda High-Tech to his wife Mrs. Limei Sun. However, High-Tech does not manufacture modified plastics in competition with Xinda. Xinda has engaged in transactions with Xinda High-Tech since 2007. The relationship has three aspects: an Asset Purchase Agreement, a lease contract and certain raw material purchases.
On September 20, 2008, Xinda signed the Asset Purchase Agreement with Xinda High-Tech that was discussed in the “Business” section of this Report. The Asset Purchase Agreement provides that Xinda will purchase from Xinda High-Tech six buildings, 19 assembly lines, and the related land use right. The buildings were recently built by Xinda High-Tech; the assembly lines were recently purchased by Xinda High-Tech, and have never been used.
32
Xinda High-Tech made the purchase for the benefit of Xinda because Xinda High-Tech is eligible to receive low-cost government financing that is not available to Xinda.
At the beginning of 2008, Mr. Han decided that Xinda should lease the plant and facilities of Xinda High-Tech’s newly-built automotive modified plastics production base. The parties entered into a lease contract for premises located at No. 9, Dalian North Road, Haping Road Centralized Industrial Park, Harbin Development Zone, Heilongjiang Province, China, with an area of 23,893.53 square meters. The lease term was from May 1, 2008 to April 30, 2011. The lease payment was 2 million RMB per year.
In September 2008, as a result of the adjustment of Chinese industrial policy, the influence of international financial situation and the credit squeeze policy of the financial institutions, Xinda High-Tech’s lending bank requires Xinda High-Tech to pay all the due loans by the end of 2009. If Xinda High-Tech defaults, the bank will consider foreclosure based on the negotiation results of the parties. Considering Xinda’s overall business interest, Mr. Han decided that Xinda should purchase from Xinda High-Tech all assets related to the production of automotive modified plastics.
The purchase price paid by Xinda to Xinda High-Tech will be 240 million RMB (currently, USD$35,139,092). Payment of 50 million RMB by Xinda is due at the end of December 2008; the remaining 190 million is due at the end of September 2009. If Xinda is unable to make the payment scheduled for the end of 2008, the parties expect that the due date will be extended. However, Xinda will be responsible for any accumulated interests related to such past due payments. Xina High-Tech also agreed not to engage in the relevant production and sales in competition of Xinda’s major business.
Xinda High-Tech paid 265 million RMB (USD$38 million) to purchase the equipments and facilities for the production of automotive modified plastics. The purchase price of Xinda is RMB 240 million, which is 10% lower that the assets’ original history cost. By using acquisition to expand production capacity, Xinda has realized its sales plan two years earlier than constructing the plant itself. The acquisition also saves the costs increased by price inflation. Due to the increased value of China’s property and land usage, the assets have great potential of increasing in value.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, Xinda purchased raw materials from Xinda High-Tech for a purchase price of $869,491. Such raw materials are used to test the new equipments Xinda High-Tech recently purchased. The purchase price represents the cost incurred by Xinda High-Tech for the goods.
On February 21, 2009, Xinda entered into an amendment to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) by and between Xinda and Xinda High-Tech., dated September 20, 2008. The amendment provides that the payment date under the Purchase Agreement has been extended to on or before December 31, 2009.

Heilongjiang Xinda Hyundai Engineering Plastics Co, Ltd (Heilongjiang Xinda Hyundai. Heilongjiang Xinda Hyundai Engineering Plastics Co, Ltd. is a company owned 25% by Hyundai Engineering Plastics Co, Ltd, and 75% by Xinda High-Tech. Since its organization, Heilongjiang Xinda Hyundai has no operations other than the sale of small amounts of raw materials for the plastics. In October of 2008, the Board approved the resolution to liquidate the company. Under this circumstance, Heilongjiang Xinda Hyundai agreed to sell its raw materials to Xinda at their purchase prices. During 2007 Xinda paid $440,554 to Hyundai Engineering Plastics Co, Ltd. for these raw materials, $ 223,455 in the year 2008 to the same company. The purchase prices represent the cost incurred by Hyundai Engineering Plastics Co, Ltd. for the raw materials.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company has borrowed a total amount of $332,283 from Mr. Jie Han and $214,951 from Ms. Qiuyao Piao.. The loans are intended to be interest free and due upon demand .Other than the aforesaid relationships and transactions, none of our officers or directors has engaged in any transaction during the past fiscal year or the current fiscal year that had a transaction value in excess of $60,000.
