BTHC VIII, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Stated in US Dollars)
1. | Corporate information |
BTHC VIII, Inc. (“Company”) was formed on June 30, 2006, and incorporated on August 7, 2006, in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware to effect the reincorporation of BTHC VIII, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, mandated by the plan of reorganization discussed below. | |
The Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code on November 29, 2004 created the combination of a change in majority ownership and voting control - that is, loss of control by the then-existing stockholders, a court-approved reorganization, and a reliable measure of the entity’s fair value - resulting in a fresh start, creating, in substance, a new reporting entity. Accordingly, the Company, post bankruptcy, had no significant assets, liabilities or operating activities. Therefore, the Company, as a new reporting entity, qualified as a development stage enterprise and a shell company as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, (Securities Act), and Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (Exchange Act). | |
The Company ended its development stage pursuant to the reorganization detailed in note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. | |
2. | Reorganization |
On June 30, 2009, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Megaway International Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation ("Megaway"), and its sole shareholder, Wisetop International Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation ("Wisetop"). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, Megaway became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Wisetop was issued 14,800,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, which, after giving effect to the Cancellation Agreement disclosed below, constituted 92.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Megaway. | |
Megaway was dormant since its incorporation until it acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Star Wealth International Holdings Limited ("Star Wealth"), a Hong Kong corporation on May 5, 2009. Star Wealth was also dormant since its incorporation until it acquired 100% of the equity interest of Siping City Juyuan Hanyang Plate Heat Exchanger Co., Ltd. (“Siping Juyuan”), a PRC corporation, on May 10, 2009. | |
On May 10, 2009, Star Wealth entered into an equity transfer agreement with all of the shareholders of Siping Juyuan to acquire their entire interests in Siping Juyuan at a total cash consideration of RMB60,000,000 ($8,795,075). The equity transfer agreement was approved by PRC local government on May 31, 2009. | |
Siping Juyuan has a 75% directly owned subsidiary, Beijing Juyuan Hanyang Heat Exchange Equipment Co. Ltd (“Beijing Juyuan”). |

2. | Reorganization (Cont’d) |
As a condition precedent to the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement, on June 30, 2009, the Company entered into a cancellation agreement, or the Cancellation Agreement, with Mr. Gerald Pascale, who was the major stockholder of the Company immediately before the Share Exchange Agreement and served as the Company’s sole director and officer from February 12, 2009 until June 30, 2009 when he was replaced by Guohong Zhao (“Mr. Zhao”), a founder of Siping Juyuan, whereby Mr. Pascale agreed to the cancellation of 4,805,387 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by him. | |
Mr. Zhao was appointed as the Company’s director and chief executive officer effective upon the closing of the above reverse acquisition. In addition, the Company’s executive officers were replaced by the executive officers of Siping Juyuan upon the closing of the reverse acquisition. | |
On June 30, 2009, Mr. Zhao entered into an option agreement with Ms. Jinghua Zhao, the sole shareholder of Wisetop, pursuant to which Mr. Zhao was granted an option, exercisable after 180 days, to acquire all of the equity interests of Wisetop owned by Ms. Jinghua Zhao at an exercise price of $3,246,160. This option expires on June 30, 2011. | |
Also on June 30, 2009, Wisetop entered into separate option agreements with the other original stockholders of Siping Juyuan, pursuant to which such stockholders were granted options, exercisable after 90 days, to purchase an aggregate of 10,240,786 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by Wisetop at total exercise price of $7,291,440. These options also expire on June 30, 2011. | |
After Mr. Zhao and the other original stockholders exercise these options, they will be the Company’s controlling stockholders holding 92.5% equity interest. | |
3. | Description of business |
The Company is a holding company whose primary business are conducted through its subsidiaries, namely Siping Juyuan which is located in the Jilin Province and Beijing Juyuan which is located in Beijing City of the PRC. The Company is engaged in the manufacturing and trading of plate heat exchangers and various related products. | |
Siping Juyuan was established in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on May 31, 2006 following the division (the “Division”) of Siping City Juyuan Heat Exchange Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Old Juyuan Company”) into three companies, namely Siping Juyuan, Siping City Juyuan Heat Exchange Equipment Co., Ltd. (“New Juyuan Company”) and Siping City Juyuan Hanyang Pressure Vessels Co., Ltd (“Juyuan Hanyang Pressure Vessels”). | |
4. | Basis of presentation |
After the consummation of the reorganization detailed in note 2 above, Mr. Zhao and the other original stockholders of Siping Juyuan maintain control over Siping Juyuan by virtue of the option agreements. Accordingly, accounting for recapitalization is adopted for the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements. These financial statements, issued under the name of the Company, represent the continuation of the financial statements of Siping Juyuan. |

(Stated in US Dollars)
4. | Basis of presentation (Cont’d) |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto of Siping Juyuan for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the SEC in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K on July 7, 2009. | |
In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the three- and nine-month periods have been made. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year. | |
In accordance with ASC 810 “Consolidation”, the noncontrolling interest is presented as equity. Certain 2008 amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on net earnings or stockholders’ equity as previously reported. | |
The Company has conducted the subsequent events review through November 16, 2009, the date these financial statements were filed with the SEC, and determined that there were no subsequent events or transactions that required recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. | |
5. | Summary of significant accounting policies |
Basis of consolidation | |
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. | |
Concentration of credit risk | |
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables and other receivables. As of September 30, 2009, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality. With respect to trade receivables, the Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade receivables and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts of trade receivables. |

Fair value of financial instruments
The Company adopted ASC 820 (previously Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157) on January 1, 2008. The adoption of ASC 820 did not materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASC 825 requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments including those financial instruments for which fair value option was not elected. Except for long-term loan disclosed as below, the carrying amounts of other financial assets and liabilities approximate to their fair value due to short maturities or the applicable interest rates approximate the current market rates:

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Accounting Standards Update “ASU” No. 2009-1)
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) approved its Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative United States accounting and reporting standards applicable for all non-governmental entities, with the exception of the SEC and its staff. The Codification is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009 and impacts the Company’s financial statements as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification. There have been no changes to the content of the Company’s financial statements or disclosures as a result of implementing the Codification.
As a result of the Company’s implementation of the Codification during the current quarter, previous references to new accounting standards and literature are no longer applicable. In these financial statements, the Company will provide reference to both new and old guidance to assist in understanding the impacts of recently adopted accounting literature, particularly for guidance adopted since the beginning of the current fiscal year but prior to the Codification.
Noncontrolling Interests (Included in amended Topic ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, an amendment of ARB No. 51)
The amended topic establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. As a result of the adoption of this amended topic, the Company has reclassified financial statement line items within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of income and comprehensive income for the prior period to conform to this topic.
Business Combinations (Included in amended Topic ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, previously SFAS No. 141(R))
This ASC guidance addresses the accounting and disclosure for identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in a business combination. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Included in amended Topic ASC 350, previously FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 142-3 “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”)

This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. The amended topic is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited.

Business Combinations (Included in amended Topic ASC 805, previously FSP No. 141R-1 “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies”)
Amended topic ASC 805 amends the requirements for the provisions for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations. The amended topic eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the initial recognition and measurement criteria and instead carries forward most of the provisions for acquired contingencies. The amended topic is effective for contingent assets and contingent liabilities acquired arising from business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company's financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Included in amended Topic ASC 820, previously FSP No. 157-4 “Determining Whether a Market is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed”)
The amended topic clarifies when markets are illiquid or that market pricing may not actually reflect the “real” value of an asset. If a market is determined to be inactive and market price is reflective of a distressed price then an alternative method of pricing can be used, such as a present value technique to estimate fair value. The amended topic identifies factors to be considered when determining whether or not a market is inactive. The amended topic is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company's financial statements.
Investments - Debt and Equity Securities - Overall - Transition and Open Effective Date Information (Included in amended Topic ASC 320, previously FSP No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2 “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”)
The amended topic amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities through increased consistency in the timing of impairment recognition and enhanced disclosures related to the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. In addition, increased disclosures are required for both debt and equity securities regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and securities with unrealized losses. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Included in amended Topic ASC 825 “Financial Instruments”, previously FSP SFAS No. 107-1)
This guidance requires that the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments be included in interim financial statements. This guidance also requires entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an interim and annual basis and to highlight any changes from prior periods. The amended topic was effective for interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Subsequent Events (Included in amended Topic ASC 855 “Subsequent Events”, previously SFAS No. 165)
The amended topic establishes accounting and disclosure requirements for subsequent events. The amended topic details the period after the balance sheet date during which the Company should evaluate events or transactions that occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which the Company should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the required disclosures for such events. The Company adopted this amended topic effective June 1, 2009.
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (Included in amended Topic ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing”, previously SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”)
The amended topic addresses information a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about the transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. Also, the amended topic removes the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity, limits the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a financial asset, defines participating interest and enhances the information provided to financial statement users to provide greater transparency. The amended topic is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this amended topic on the Company’s financial statements.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - Amended (Included in amended Topic ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”)
The amended topic require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The amended topic also requires enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. The amended topic is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this amended topic on the Company’s financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, an update to ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. This update provides amendments to reduce potential ambiguity in financial reporting when measuring the fair value of liabilities. Among other provisions, this update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the valuation techniques described in ASU No. 2009-05. ASU No. 2009-05 will become effective for the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2009. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on the Company’s financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13 “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements - A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force”. This update provides application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables should be separated and how the consideration should be allocated to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific or third-party evidence is available. The Company will be required to apply this guidance prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011; however, earlier application is permitted. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on the Company’s financial statements.

Capital commitment | |
As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had capital commitments amounting to $666,440 and $714,722 respectively, in respect of the construction of the Company’s campus and factory which were contracted for but not provided in the financial statements. | |
Contingencies | |
As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had contingencies arising from the division of Old Juyuan Company into Siping Juyuan, New Juyuan Company and Juyuan Hanyang Pressure Vessels. According to the division agreement of Old Juyuan Company (“Division Agreement”), all parties to the Division Agreement undertook joint and several liabilities for the indebtedness of Old Juyuan Company. | |
The Company records a liability in the consolidated financial statements for these contingencies when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is possible but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded. The Company’s loss is possible but not known or probable, accordingly no liability in respect of this undertaking was recognized as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The Company believes that a reasonable estimate of the possible loss ranged from $nil to $1,626,000 as of September 30, 2009 (as of December 31, 2008 : $nil to $6,377,000). | |

21. | Related party transactions |
Apart from the transactions as disclosed in notes 13 and 19 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company entered into the following transactions with the following related parties during the reporting periods :- |
Nine months ended | |||||||
September 30, | |||||||
2009 | 2008 | ||||||
Sales of finished goods and raw materials to New Juyuan Company | $ | - | $ | 1,997,063 | |||
Purchase of finished goods and raw materials from New Juyuan Company | $ | - | $ | 127,377 | |||
Purchase of finished goods and raw materials from Juyuan Hanyang Pressure Vessels | $ | - | $ | 281,476 |
The Company believes the terms obtained and consideration paid in connection with the transactions described above were no less favorable than those that would have been obtained by the Company in arm’s-length transactions with an unrelated party.
After Mr. Zhao and his spouse’s disposal of their interest in New Juyuan Company and Juyuan Hanyang Pressure Vessels in May 2008 and March 2008 respectively, the transactions entered into by the Company with New Juyuan Company and Juyuan Hanyang Pressure Vessels were treated as transactions with unrelated parties and therefore were not included in the above figures.

Sales Revenue. Our sales revenue is generated from sales of heat exchange products. Sales revenue increased approximately $0.41 million, or 4.83%, to approximately $8.80 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $8.39 million for the same period in 2008. Sales volume of our heat exchange products continued to grow significantly in the third quarter of 2009 despite the softened macro environment. The slow growth in our sales revenue is mainly attributable to the sharp decrease in our average selling prices in the third quarter of 2009 when the price of steel, our major raw material, remained significantly lower than its price in the same period in 2008.
Cost of Sales.Our cost of sales is primarily comprised of the costs of our raw materials, accessories, utilities, labor and overhead. Our cost of sales decreased approximately $1.54 million, or 24.75%, to approximately $4.67 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $6.21 million during the same period in 2008. The decrease was mainly attributable to our efforts to optimize our product mix in the third quarter of 2009 and a decrease in the purchase price of the major raw materials we use to produce our products.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit is equal to the difference between our sales revenue and our cost of sales. Our gross profit increased approximately $1.94 million, or 88.75%, to approximately $4.13 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $2.19 million for the same period in 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of sales revenue was 46.93% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to 26.06% during the same period in 2008. The improvement of our gross profit margin was mainly attributable to our efforts to optimize our product mix and a decrease in purchase price of steel plates, a major raw material used in the production of our products, in the third quarter of 2009.
Administrative Expenses. Our administrative expenses consist of the costs associated with staff and support personnel who manage our business activities and professional service fees. Our administrative expenses increased approximately $0.20 million , or 52.48%, to approximately $0.58 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $0.38 million for the same period in 2008. The increase was mainly attributable to the expansion of our management team and administrative personnel to support our strong business growth. The increase was also in part due to higher professional fees as the company became a public company.
Research and Development Expenses. Our research and development expenses consist of the costs associated with research and development personnel and expense in research and development projects. Our research and development expenses increased approximately $0.17 million , or 126.32%, to approximately $0.30 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $0.13 million for the same period in 2008. The increase was mainly because we carried out more research and developmentprojects in the third quarter of 2009 in accordance with our research and developmentplan.
Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses include sales commissions, the cost of advertising and promotional materials, salaries and fringe benefits of sales personnel, after-sale support services and other sales related costs. Our selling expenses increased approximately $0.72 million , or 87.58%, to approximately $1.54 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $0.82 million for the same period in 2008. The increase was mainly attributable to the expansion of our sales force and the establishment of sales offices to support our strong business growth.
Total Operating Expenses. Our total expenses increased approximately $1.09 million , or 81.38%, to approximately $2.43 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $1.34 million for the same period in 2008.
Income before Income Taxes. Income before income taxes was approximately $1.70 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared with net income before income taxes of approximately $0.85 million for the same period in 2008. The increase of income before income tax was mainly attributable to the increase of gross profit which more than offset the increase of total expenses. Income before income taxes as a percentage of sales revenue increased to 20.12% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to 8.95% for the same period in 2008 due to the factors described above.
Income Taxes. Our income taxes increased to approximately $0.31 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $0.17 million during the same period in 2008.
21
Net Income Before Noncontrolling Interests. Our net income before noncontrolling interests was approximately $1.46 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared with net income before noncontrolling interests of approximately $0.58 million during the same period in 2008, as a result of the factors described above.
Net (Income) Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests.The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was approximately $0.06 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009 the net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest was approximately $0.05 million during the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Net Income Attributable to BTHC Common Stockholders.Our net income attributable to BTHC common stockholders was approximately $1.40 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared with net income of approximately $0.63 million during the same period in 2008.
Provision for Income Taxes
United States
The Company is subject to the United States Federal and state income tax at a statutory rate of 34%. No provision for the U.S. Federal income taxes has been made as the Company had no taxable income in this jurisdiction for the reporting periods.
British Virgin Islands
Megaway was incorporated in the BVI and, under the current laws of the BVI, is not subject to income taxes.
Hong Kong
Star Wealth was incorporated in Hong Kong and is subject to Hong Kong profits tax at a tax rate of 16.5%. No provision for Hong Kong tax has been made as the Company has no taxable income during the reporting periods.
PRC
A company registered in China is subject to national and local income taxes within China at the applicable tax rate on the taxable income as reported in its PRC statutory financial statements in accordance with relevant income tax laws. Under the Provisional Taxation Regulation of the People’s Republic of China effective before January 1, 2008, income tax was generally payable by enterprises at a rate of 33% of their taxable income.
In 2007, China passed the New Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) Law and its implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008. The New EIT Law significantly curtails tax incentives granted to foreign-invested enterprises under the previous law. The New EIT Law, however, (i) reduces the statutory rate of enterprise income tax from 33% to 25%, (ii) permits companies to continue to enjoy their existing tax incentives, adjusted by certain transitional phase-out rules, and (iii) introduces new tax incentives, subject to various qualification criteria.
Substantially all of our income may be derived from dividends we receive from our PRC operating subsidiaries described above. The New EIT Law and its implementing rules generally provide that a 10% withholding tax applies to China-sourced income derived by non-resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. We expect that such 10% withholding tax will apply to dividends paid to us by our PRC subsidiaries, but this treatment will depend on our status as a non-resident enterprise. For detailed discussion of PRC tax issues related to resident enterprise status, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China —in our current report on Form 8-K, filed on July 7, 2009 with the SEC. Under the New EIT Law, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of China. Such classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders.”
Prior to January 2008, the Siping Juyuan and Beijing Juyuan were subject to PRC statutory EIT, at the rate of 30% for national tax plus 3% for local tax.
Siping Juyuan was entitled to a special tax concession, or the Tax Concession, because it employed the required number of handicapped staff according to the relevant PRC tax rules. In particular, this Tax Concession decreased the Siping Juyuan’s EIT liability in the year ended December 31, 2007 and entitled Siping Juyuan to a refund of value-added tax paid in the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and in the periods for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Beijing Juyuan, being a sino-foreign joint venture enterprise, was entitled to two years’ EIT exemption, from the first profit making calendar year of operations after offset of accumulated taxable losses, followed by a 50% tax reduction for the immediate next three calendar years, or the Tax Holiday. The Tax Holiday commenced in the fiscal year of 2008.
22
Pursuant to the new EIT law, commencing from January 1, 2008, Siping Juyuan and Beijing Juyuan were subject to PRC EIT at the statutory rate of 25%. As Siping Juyuan was qualified as a “High-tech Enterprise”, it was entitled to a preferential EIT rate of 15%. Beijing Juyuan was subject to EIT at the rate of 0% during the Tax Holiday.
We incurred income taxes of approximately $0.31 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately $0.15 million or 86.31% from the taxes we incurred in the same period of 2008, which were approximately $0.17 million. This increase in taxes was more than offset by our higher revenues and operating profits.
Foreign Currency Translation Gains
Exchange Rates
The financial records of Siping Juyuan and Beijing Juyuan are maintained in RMB. In order to prepare our financial statements, we have translated amounts in RMB into amounts in U.S. dollars. The amounts of our assets and liabilities on our balance sheets are translated using the closing exchange rate as of the date of the balance sheet. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the period covered by such financial statements. Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in our cumulative other comprehensive income in our stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheet. All other amounts that were originally booked in RMB and translated into U.S. dollars were translated using the closing exchange rate on the date of recognition. Consequently, the exchange rates at which the amounts in those comparisons were computed varied from year to year.
We had a foreign currency translation gain of approximately $0.03 millionfor the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared with approximately $0.05 million currency translation gain in the same period ended September 30, 2008. We use period-end exchange rates in translating our assets and liabilities denominated in RMB into U.S. dollars and average exchange rates for the period to translate our income and expenses. As of September 30, 2009, the period end exchange rate was RMB1 to US $0.14670 and the average exchange rate for the period was RMB1 to US $0.14661. As of September 30, 2008, the period end exchange rate was RMB1 to US $0.1463 and the average exchange rate for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was RMB1 to US $0.14639. The average exchange rate for the third quarter of 2009 compared with the third quarter of 2008 (RMB1 to US $0.14661 and RMB1 to US $0.14639, respectively) increased approximately 0.15%.
Our sales revenue increased by approximately RMB 2.77 million or 4.84% compared with the same period in 2008 and our operating expenses increased by approximately RMB 7.42 million or 81.41% compared with the same period in 2008. As the RMB increased in value against the U.S. dollar during the period, our reported sales revenues and operating expenses were affected, increasing 4.83% and 81.38%, respectively, in U.S. dollar terms, as follows:

Sales Revenue. Sales revenue increased approximately $4.17 million, or 21.98%, to approximately $23.12 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $18.96 million for the same period in 2008. Sales volume of our heat exchange products achieved even higher growth in the first nine months of 2009. The increase was mainly attributable to the strong growth in market demand driven by the fast economic recovery in China and our strengthened sales efforts to seize larger market share. The relatively slow growth in our sales revenue is mainly attributable to the decrease in our average selling prices in the first nine months of 2009 when the price of steel, our major raw material, remained significantly lower than its price in the same period in 2008.
Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales decreased approximately $1.39 million , or 9.82%, to approximately $12.74 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $14.13 million during the same period in 2008. The decrease was mainly attributable to our efforts to optimize our product mix in 2009 and the decrease in the purchase price of our major raw materials.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit increased approximately $5.56 million, or 115.13%, to approximately $10.38 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $4.83 million for the same period in 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of sales revenue was 44.89% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to 25.46% during the same period in 2008. The improvement of our gross profit margin was mainly attributable to our efforts to optimize our product mix and the drop in purchase price of our major raw materials, steel plates, in the first nine months of 2009.
Administrative Expenses. Our administrative expenses increased approximately $0.86 million, or 77.41%, to approximately $1.97 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $1.11 million for the same period in 2008. The increase was mainly attributable to the expansion of our management team and administrative personnel to support our strong business growth. The increase was also in part due to higher professional fees as the Company became a public company.
Research and Development Expenses. Our research and development expenses consist of the costs associated with research and development personnel and expense in research and development projects. Our research and development expenses increased approximately $0.23 million , or 53.12%, to approximately $0.66 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $0.43 million for the same period in 2008. The increase was mainly attributable to our continued efforts to strengthen our research and development and increased input in the development of new products.
Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses increased approximately $1.50 million , or 74.16%, to approximately $3.53 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $2.03 million for the same period in 2008. The increase was mainly attributable to the expansion of our sales force and the establishment of sales offices to support our strong business growth.
Total Operating Expenses. Our total operating expenses increased approximately $2.59 million, or 72.62%, to approximately $6.17 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $3.57 million for the same period in 2008.
Income before Income Taxes. Income before income taxes increased approximately $3.00 million, or 258.23%, to approximately $4.16 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $1.16 million for the same period in 2008. The increase of income before income tax was mainly attributable to the increase of gross profit which more than offset the increase of total expenses. Income before income taxes as a percentage of sales revenue increased to 17.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to 6.13% for the same period in 2008 due to the factors described above.
24
Income Taxes. Our income taxes increased to approximately $0.64 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $0.27 million during the same period in 2008.

Foreign Currency Translation Gains
Exchange Rates
We had a foreign currency translation gain of approximately $0.003 millionfor the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared with approximately $0.48 million currency translation gain in the same period ended September 30, 2008. The decrease of foreign currency translation gain was mainly attributable to the fact that the exchange rate of RMB against USD remained much more stable during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 than in the same period of 2008. We use period-end exchange rates in translating our assets and liabilities denominated in RMB into U.S. dollars and average exchange rates for the period to translate our income and expenses. As of September 30, 2009, the period end exchange rate was RMB1 to US$0.14670 and the average exchange rate for the period was RMB1 to US$0.14659. As of September 30, 2008, the period end exchange rate was RMB1 to US$0.14630 and the average exchange rate for the six months ended September 30, 2008 was RMB1 to US$0.14337. The average exchange rate for nine months ended September 30,2009 compared with the same period in 2008 (RMB1 to US$0.14659 and RMB1 to US$0.14337, respectively) increased approximately 2.25 %.

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.31 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $12.10 million net cash provided by financing activities for the same period in 2008. The change was mainly due to the capital injection of $8.75 million from stockholders of Siping Juyuan and the net proceeds of $4.98 million from bank loans in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
As of September 30, 2009, the amount, maturity date and term of each of our bank loans are as follows:
(dollars in millions) | |||
Bank | Amount | Maturity Date | Duration |
Bank of Communications, Jilin Branch | $1.47 | 31/12/2009 | Five months |
Bank of Communications, Jilin Branch | $2.93 | 20/05/2010 | Ten months |
We believe that we maintain good relationships with the various banks we deal with and our current available working capital, after receiving the aggregate proceeds fromthe bank loans referenced above, should be adequate to sustain our operations at our current levels through at least the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Policies
Basis of consolidation and presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or US GAAP.
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
26
Use of estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, 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 periods. These accounts and estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of trade receivable, other receivables, inventories and deferred income taxes and the estimation on useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Noncontrolling interests
Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets resulted from the consolidation of 75% owned subsidiary, Beijing Juyuan, which was acquired on November 15, 2007.
Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income represents the noncontrolling interests’ proportionate share of the net loss (income) of Beijing Juyuan.
Allowance for doubtful debts
The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful debts based on management’s assessment of the collectibility of trade receivables and other receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of the allowance and the Company considers the historical level of credit losses and applies percentages to aged receivable categories. The Company makes judgments about the creditworthiness of each debtor based on ongoing credit evaluations, and monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future. If the financial condition of the debtors were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a larger allowance may be required.
Bad debts are written off when identified. The Company extends unsecured credit to customers ranging from three to nine months in the normal course of business. The Company does not accrue interest on trade receivables.
Historically, losses from uncollectible accounts have not significantly deviated from the general allowance estimated by the management and no significant additional bad debts have been written off directly to the profit and loss.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis and includes all expenditures incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale and putting them in a saleable condition. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, the management makes judgments as to future demand requirements compared to current or committed inventory levels. The Company’s reserve requirements generally increase with its projected demand requirements; decrease due to market conditions and product life cycle changes. The Company estimates the demand requirements based on market conditions, forecasts prepared by its customers, sales contracts and orders in hand.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use.
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis (after taking into account the respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment. The principal useful lives and residual value are as follows :-
Estimated useful lives | Residual value | |||||
Buildings | 20 years | 5% | ||||
Plant and machinery | 6 years | 5% | ||||
Motor vehicles | 3 – 5 years | 5% | ||||
Office equipment | 2 – 5 years | Nil - 5% |
Maintenance or repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the applicable amounts of asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount less proceeds from disposal is charged or credited to income.
Construction in progress mainly represents expenditures in respect of the Company’s corporate campus and factories, including offices, factories and research center, under construction. All direct costs relating to the acquisition or construction of the Company’s corporate campus and factories are capitalized as construction in progress. No depreciation is provided in respect of construction in progress.
27
Land use rights
Land use rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the terms of the lease of 50 years obtained from the relevant PRC land authority.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets are tested for impairment in accordance with ASC 360 (formerly SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”). The Company periodically evaluates potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes impairment of long-lived assets in the event that the net book values of such assets exceed the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. During the reporting periods, the Company has not identified any indicators that would require testing for impairment.
Revenue recognition
Revenue from sales of the Company’s products is recognized when products are delivered and customer acceptance is made, the sales price is fixed or determinable, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collection is reasonably assured.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Accounting Standards Update “ASU” No. 2009-1)
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standard Board or FASB, approved its Accounting Standards Codification or Codification, as the single source of authoritative United States accounting and reporting standards applicable for all non-governmental entities, with the exception of the SEC and its staff. The Codification is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009 and impacts the Company’s financial statements as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification. There have been no changes to the content of the Company’s financial statements or disclosures as a result of implementing the Codification.
As a result of the Company’s implementation of the Codification during the current quarter, previous references to new accounting standards and literature are no longer applicable. In these financial statements, the Company will provide reference to both new and old guidance to assist in understanding the impacts of recently adopted accounting literature, particularly for guidance adopted since the beginning of the current fiscal year but prior to the Codification.
Noncontrolling Interests (Included in amended Topic ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, an amendment of ARB No. 51)
The amended topic establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. As a result of the adoption of this amended topic, the Company has reclassified financial statement line items within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of income and comprehensive income for the prior period to conform to this topic.
Business Combinations (Included in amended Topic ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, previously SFAS No. 141(R))
This ASC guidance addresses the accounting and disclosure for identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in a business combination. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Included in amended Topic ASC 350, previously FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 142-3 “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”)
The amended topic amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. The amended topic is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company's financial statements.
Business Combinations (Included in amended Topic ASC 805, previously FSP No. 141R-1 “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies”)
28
Amended topic ASC 805 amends the requirements for the provisions for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations. The amended topic eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the initial recognition and measurement criteria and instead carries forward most of the provisions for acquired contingencies. The amended topic is effective for contingent assets and contingent liabilities acquired arising from business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company's financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Included in amended Topic ASC 820, previously FSP No. 157-4 “Determining Whether a Market is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed”)
The amended topic clarifies when markets are illiquid or that market pricing may not actually reflect the “real” value of an asset. If a market is determined to be inactive and market price is reflective of a distressed price then an alternative method of pricing can be used, such as a present value technique to estimate fair value. The amended topic identifies factors to be considered when determining whether or not a market is inactive. The amended topic is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company's financial statements.
Investments - Debt and Equity Securities - Overall - Transition and Open Effective Date Information (Included in amended Topic ASC 320, previously FSP No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2 “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”)
The amended topic amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities through increased consistency in the timing of impairment recognition and enhanced disclosures related to the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. In addition, increased disclosures are required for both debt and equity securities regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and securities with unrealized losses. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Included in amended Topic ASC 825 “Financial Instruments”, previously FSP SFAS No. 107-1)
This guidance requires that the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments be included in interim financial statements. This guidance also requires entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an interim and annual basis and to highlight any changes from prior periods. The amended topic was effective for interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Subsequent Events (Included in amended Topic ASC 855 “Subsequent Events”, previously SFAS No. 165)
The amended topic establishes accounting and disclosure requirements for subsequent events. The amended topic details the period after the balance sheet date during which the Company should evaluate events or transactions that occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which the Company should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the required disclosures for such events. The Company adopted this amended topic effective June 1, 2009.
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (Included in amended Topic ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing”, previously SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”)
The amended topic addresses information a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about the transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. Also, the amended topic removes the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity, limits the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a financial asset, defines participating interest and enhances the information provided to financial statement users to provide greater transparency. The amended topic is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this amended topic on the Company’s financial statements.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - Amended (Included in amended Topic ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”)
The amended topic require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The amended topic also requires enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. The amended topic is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this amended topic on the Company’s financial statements.
29
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, an update to ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. This update provides amendments to reduce potential ambiguity in financial reporting when measuring the fair value of liabilities. Among other provisions, this update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the valuation techniques described in ASU No. 2009-05. ASU No. 2009-05 will become effective for the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2009. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on the Company’s financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13 “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements - A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force”. This update provides application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables should be separated and how the consideration should be allocated to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific or third-party evidence is available. The Company will be required to apply this guidance prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011; however, earlier application is permitted. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on the Company’s financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Seasonality
Our customers are widely dispersed throughout various industries, including metallurgy, heat and power, petrochemical, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and shipbuilding and revenues from those customers are almost equalized. Hence, the diversified revenue from different industries balances seasonality. However, there is still seasonality in production and sales of our products for residential heating. Since residential heating systems are typically installed before October and start operation in November in Northern China, the production and sales of our products for residential heating are mainly carried out from July to October every year. For the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the sales of our products for residential heating accounted for around 41% and 25% of our total revenues respectively.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information that would be required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
