China Wind Energy Inc. And Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. | ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND |
The Company was incorporated in Nevada on May 8, 2006, under the name Pooch Pal Beverages Inc., and changed its name to K-Care Nutritional Products Inc. On November 29, 2007, the Company changed its name to China Wind Energy Inc.
On November 20, 2007, a former President of the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Jian Ren, a resident and citizen of the Hong Kong SAR of the People’s Republic of China (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to purchase 5,950,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value, from the former President of the Company for $50,000. These shares represented 81% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. The Stock Purchase Agreement closed on November 27, 2007.
Also, on November 20, 2007, the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement with the Purchaser, who is the owner of all of the share capital of China Wind Energy Limited, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Hong Kong SAR of the People’s Republic of China, pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to transfer all of his share capital in China Wind Energy Limited to the Company for $1. Upon closing of the Acquisition Agreement on November 27, 2007, China Wind Energy Limited became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. China Wind Energy Limited has one wholly owned subsidiary, Harbin XingYe Wind Energy Technology Limited (“XingYe”), a company established under the Law of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).
The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger, since the Purchaser owned a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock immediately following the Acquisition. China Wind Energy Limited is deemed to be the acquirer in the merger. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the financial statements prior to the Acquisition are those of China Wind Energy Limited and are recorded at the historical cost basis of China Wind Energy Limited, whereas, the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Acquisition will include the assets and liabilities of the Company and China Wind Energy Limited, the historical operations of China Wind Energy Limited, and the Company’s operations from the closing date of the Acquisition.
On May 16, 2008, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Power Profit Technology Development Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong, People’s Republic of China (“Power Profit”), and Wan Yi Tse, the holder of 100% of the issued and outstanding registered share capital of Power Profit.
Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, on May 26, 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Power Profit and 82.14% of the equity interests of its subsidiary, Harbin Sanye Wind Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (formerly Harbin Lian Chuang Co., Ltd)(“Harbin Sanye”). Harbin Sanye is a company incorporated under the laws of the People’s Republic of China, engaged in the business of manufacturing harvesters and blades for wind generators. Together, Power Profit and Harbin Sanye became the subsidiaries of the Company, Power Profit became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary and Harbin Sanye became the Company’s majority owned subsidiary.
On September 16, 2008, Harbin Sanye Wind Energy Technology Co., Ltd. changed its name to Harbin SQ Wind Power Ltd (“Harbin SQ”).
The Company has not yet generated significant revenues from planned principal operations and is considered a Development Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.7 “Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises”.
As reflected in the accompanying combined financial statements, the Company has accumulated a deficit of $1,020,330 at October 31, 2008 that includes a loss of $618,705 for the three months ended October 31, 2008. The Company also had a working capital deficiency of $7,559,263 as of October 31, 2008. The Company’s stockholders have funded the losses and cash shortfalls allowing management to develop sales and contingency plans. The Company is also arranging for additional funding. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended July 31, 2008 and notes thereto contained in the Report on Form 10-K of the Company as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
The consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
In preparing these financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the year reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
| c. | Fair values of financial instruments |
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
| d. | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits with banks and liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollected amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to an allowance for bad debts based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance for bad debts and a credit to accounts receivable.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, as determined on a weighted average basis, or market. Costs of inventories include purchase and related costs incurred in bringing the products to their present location and condition. Market value is determined by reference to selling prices after the balance sheet date or to management’s estimates based on prevailing market conditions. The management writes down the inventories to market value if market value is below cost. The management also regularly evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine if a valuation allowance is required.
Property and equipment are initially recognized recorded at cost. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the period of disposal. The cost of improvements that extend the life of plant and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment and fixtures. All ordinary repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets:
Machinery and equipment | 14 years |
Transportation equipment | 12 years |
Office equipment | 10 years |
| h. | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
The Company accounts for impairment of plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of”, which requires the Group to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability when there is event or circumstance that indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable (when carrying amount exceeds the gross, undiscounted cash flows from use and disposition) and is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over the asset’s (or asset group’s) fair value.
The Company’s intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and are comprised of land user rights. Land user rights are related to land the Company occupies in Heilongjiang Province, PRC and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 40 years.
Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill deemed to have indefinite lives is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually and at any time when events suggest impairment may have occurred. To assess goodwill for impairment, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting units, which are primarily determined using management’s assumptions about future cash flows based on long-range strategic plans. This approach incorporates many assumptions including future growth rates, discount factors and tax rates. In the event the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeded its fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeded its implied fair value. No goodwill impairment was recorded for the three months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007.
SFAS No.130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, requires disclosure of all components of comprehensive income and loss on an annual and interim basis. Comprehensive income and loss is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The comprehensive income arose from the effect of foreign currency translation adjustments.
The Company generates revenues from the sales of harvesters. Sales are recognized when the following four revenue criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales are presented net of value added tax (VAT). No return allowance is made as products returns are insignificant based on historical experience.
| m. | Research and development costs |
Research and development costs are expensed to operations as incurred.
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS No. 109 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Group is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
| o. | Foreign currency translation |
The reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company is the local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of the Company are translated into United States dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounts Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”, using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses and historical rates for the equity. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. At October 31, 2008, the cumulative translation adjustment of $42,993 was classified as an item of other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet. For the three months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, other comprehensive income (loss) was $(1,376) and $205, respectively.
The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into U.S. Dollars for the purposes of preparing the financial statements were as follows: As of October 31, 2008, the Company used the period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities of $1 to RMB6.841. For the three months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company used the period’s average rate of exchange to convert revenues, costs, and expenses of $1 to RMB6.8376 and $1 to RMB7.5101, respectively. The Company used historical rates for equity.
A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can
significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.
The Company accounts for income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options were exercised utilizing the treasury stock method. The calculation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding and earnings per share are as follows:

| r. | Recently adopted accounting principles |
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements". SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-1, "Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13" ("FSP 157-1") and FASB Staff Position 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157" ("FSP 157-2"). FSP 157-1 amends SFAS No. 157 to remove certain leasing transactions from its scope. FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities as required. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 was not material to the Company's financial statements or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS No. 159 is an elective standard which permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. Subsequent unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any assets or liabilities under SFAS No. 159.
| s. | Recent accounting pronouncements |
On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling interest in Consolidated Financial Statements”. SFAS No. 160 requires all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The statement establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation and expands disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We have not yet determined the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 160 on our consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.141R, “Business Combinations”. SFAS No. 141R requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, establishes the acquisition date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and requires the acquirer to expand disclosures about the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for 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, 2008. We have not yet determined the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 141R on our consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 161 on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS 142-3”) which amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“FAS No. 142”). FSP FAS 142-3 applies to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of assets and intangible assets acquired in both business combinations and asset acquisitions. It removes a provision under FAS No. 142, requiring an entity to consider whether a contractual renewal or extension clause can be accomplished without substantial cost or material modifications of the existing terms and conditions associated with the asset. Instead, FSP FAS 142-3 requires that an entity consider its own experience in renewing similar arrangements. An entity would consider market participant assumptions regarding renewal if no such relevant experience exists. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for year ends beginning after December 15, 2008 with early adoption prohibited. We have not yet determined the effect, if any, of the adoption of this statement on our financial condition or results of operations.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 concludes that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities, and thus, should be included in the two-class method of computing earnings per share (“EPS”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. Early application of EITF 03-6-1 is prohibited. It also requires that all prior-period EPS data be adjusted retrospectively. We have not yet determined the effect, if any, of the adoption of this statement on our financial condition or results of operations.
4. | CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK |
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. As of October 31, 2008, a portion of the Company's cash was held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, none of which are insured. However, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Advances to suppliers are mainly for deposit in advance for purchase of raw materials. The term of each advance ranges from 30 days to 180 days.
Inventories consist of the following:
| | | | | | |
Raw material | | $ | 439,053 | | | $ | 357,696 | |
Work-in-progress | | | 657,251 | | | | 635,457 | |
Finished goods | | | 114,286 | | | | 114,320 | |

Inventory, net | | $ | 674,828 | | | $ | 563,851 | |
Prepayment and deposit are payments made to contractors engaged in construction in progress. After the Company ensures the fulfillment of the contracts by verifying required quality, the accumulated payment will be transferred to construction in progress in property and equipment.

13. | OTHER ADVANCE RECEIPTS |
On November 6, 2007, the Company signed a contract with Heilongjiang Nongkentaixing Real Estate Development Co. Ltd to sell the Company’s land user rights in Harbin City. The total contract price is approximately $10,090,000. On July 31, 2008 the cost of the land user rights to the Company was $598,342. The Company is obligated to clear the original buildings on the land before transfer of the land user rights can be completed.
As of October 31, 2008, the Company had received net proceeds of $7,601,450 from this sale. Since the legal process for title transfer has not been completed, the proceeds were recorded as other advance receipts. After the completion of title transfer by getting government approval, the Company will receive the remaining balance of the contract price and record the sale of the land user rights.
14. | CHINA CONTRIBUTION PLAN |
Full time employees of the Company participate in a government-mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain retirement, medical and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. Chinese labor regulations require the Company’s subsidiaries to pay to the local labor bureau a monthly contribution at a stated contribution rate based on the monthly basic compensation of qualified employees. The relevant local labor bureau is responsible for meeting all retirement benefit obligations; the Company has no further commitments beyond its monthly contribution.
The Company made the provisions based on the number of qualified employees and the rate and base regulated by the government. However, the Company did not make full monthly contribution to these funds. In the event that any current or former employee files a complaint with the PRC government, the Company may be subject to administrative fines. As the Company believes that these fines would not be material, no accrual for such fines has been made in this regard.
Pursuant to the laws applicable to the PRC, PRC entities must make appropriations from after-tax profit to the non-distributable “statutory surplus reserve fund”. Subject to certain cumulative limits, the “statutory surplus reserve fund” requires annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax profit until the aggregated appropriations reach 50% of the registered capital (as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC ("PRC GAAP") at each year-end). For foreign invested enterprises and joint ventures in the PRC, annual appropriations should be made to the “reserve fund”. For foreign invested enterprises, the annual appropriation for the “reserve fund” cannot be less than 10% of after-tax profits until the aggregated appropriations reach 50% of the registered capital (as determined under PRC GAAP at each year-end). The Company did not make any appropriations to the reserve funds mentioned above due to lack of profit after tax since commencement of operations.
The Company is subject to taxes in the United States at 34% and certain subsidiaries are subject to taxes in the People’s Republic of China at 25%.
For the three months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company has recorded $0 income tax expense and the Company has no United States corporate income tax liability as of October 31, 2008.
The Company operates in one industry segment – research, development, manufacturing, marketing and sales of harvesters and blades for wind turbines. Substantially all of the Company’s identifiable assets and operations for all periods presented were located in the PRC.
18. | CONTINGENCIES, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
Litigation
Harbin SQ was named as a defendant in a lawsuit in which the plaintiffs alleged illegal transfer and misleading promotion of Harbin SQ’s shares to the public through security brokers. The plaintiffs, 51current stockholders representing 1,018,000 outstanding shares, acquired the Harbin SQ’s shares through security brokers from Harbin SQ’s initial stockholders and were seeking monetary damages from Harbin SQ including the costs of acquiring the shares, expenses and imputed interest.
In September 2008, the claims of the plaintiffs were refuted in the judgment of the Court of Bin County, Heilongjiang Province. The plaintiffs have the option to appeal the decision.
Country Risk
The Company has significant investments in the PRC. The operating results of the Company may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC and by changes in Chinese government policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. The Company can give no assurance that those changes in political and other conditions will not result in have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business and financial condition.
Source of Supply
The Company purchases components for its products from a number of suppliers. However, on occasion, a customer’s specifications may require us to purchase components from a specific supplier. The Company does not have any long term contracts with any of its suppliers, and the Company believes that alternative suppliers are available. Although the Company has not been subject to shortages for any of its components, since it does not have long-term contracts, the Company may be subject to cutbacks and price increases which it may not be able to pass on to its customers in the event that the demand for components generally exceeds the capacity of its suppliers.
Loan to Officer
Prior to the acquisition by the Company, Harbin SQ forwarded a loan to Shouquan Sun, the Company’s President and CEO. This loan was not fully repaid at the time of acquisition and $911,683 was outstanding as of October 31, 2008. Section 402 of the Sarbanese-Oxley Act of 2002 prohibits loans or the extension of credit to officers and directors of a publicly traded company or any of its subsidiaries. The Company is currently in contravention of these provisions and faces possible regulatory action by the SEC.
The Company’s management believes that the following will mitigate against potential action by the SEC:
| · | The loan was provided to Mr. Sun by Harbin SQ prior to its acquisition by the Company; |
| · | no monies have been forwarded to Mr. Sun since he became an officer and director of the Company; |
| · | from April 30, 2008 to October 31, 2008 a total of $1,001,574 of the outstanding balance of the loan has been repaid by the Company’s President; and |
| · | the Company and its President have agreed that the entire outstanding balance of the loan will be repaid as soon as possible and no later than December 31, 2008. |
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We were incorporated in Nevada on May 8, 2006. Prior to November 20, 2007 we were a shell company with only nominal assets and operations. On November 20, 2007 we completed a reverse merger transaction with China Wind Energy Ltd., a Hong Kong company (“China Wind HK”). The closing of this reverse merger transaction resulted in:
a) | the acquisition of China Wind HK and its wholly owned subsidiary XingYe Wind Energy Technology Limited (“XingYe”), with both becoming our wholly owned subsidiaries; |
b) | Jian Ren becoming the holder of 81% of our issued and outstanding common stock; |
c) | the appointment of Jian Ren as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and sole director, to replace our former sole officer and director; and |
d) | the changing our fiscal year end from October 31 to July 31 in order to adjust to the fiscal year end of our subsidiary, China Wind HK. |
On December 5, 2007 we filed a certificate of change to effect a 5 for 1 forward split of our common stock. This forward split increased the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock and the number of authorized shares of our common stock on a basis of five new shares for every one existing share, and resulted in an increase in the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock from 7,377,450 to 36,887,250, and an increase in the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 80,000,000 to 400,000,000.
On May 16, 2008 we entered into a share exchange agreement with Power Profit Technology Development Limited, a Hong Kong company (“Power Profit”), and Wan Yi Tse, the holder of 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Power Profit. The closing of this share exchange agreement on May 26, 2008 resulted in:
a) | the acquisition of 100% of the equity interest in Power Profit; |
b) | the acquisition of 82.14% of the equity interest in Power Profit’s majority owned subsidiary, Harbin SQ Wind Power Ltd. (formerly Harbin Sanye Wind Energy Technology Co., Ltd.) (“Harbin SQ”); |
c) | Wan Yi Tse’s designees becoming the holders of 29% of our issued and outstanding common stock; |
d) | Power Profit becoming our wholly owned subsidiary and Harbin SQ becoming our majority-owned subsidiary; |
e) | the termination of an agreement for the provision of management services by XingYe, our wholly owned subsidiary, to Harbin SQ, our majority owned subsidiary; and |
f) | the appointment of Shouquan Sun as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and sole director to replace Jian Ren. |
Harbin SQ, our majority-owned subsidiary, focuses primarily on the production of turbine blades and combine harvesters. It produces our primary product, which is a blade for wind turbine generators that permits variable pitch and speed control. This blade product differs from other blades of the 600KW and 750KW type produced in China, as it allows variable speed and pitch adjustments to occur to achieve higher efficiency. We currently have 5 individual patents on our wind turbine blades.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology including, "could" "may", "will", "should", "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "predict", "potential" and the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially.
While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested in this Quarterly Report.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of October 31, 2008 we had cash of $368,492, total current assets of $1,749,610, total current liabilities of $9,308,873 and a working capital deficit of $7,559,263. From our inception on November 27, 2006 to October 31, 2008 we accumulated a deficit of $1,020,330. We are dependent on funds raised through equity or debt financing, investing activities, and revenue generated through the sales of our products to fund our operations. We anticipate that we will incur substantial losses over the next year and our ability to generate any revenues in the next 12 months continues to be uncertain.
As of October 31, 2008 we had total assets of $31,162,508 and total liabilities of $9,308,873. Our total assets were primarily made up of land usage rights, goodwill, property and equipment.
On November 6, 2007 we entered into a contract with Heilongjiang Nongken Taixin Real Estate Development Ltd., Co. (“Heilongjiang”) to sell our land usage rights in Harbin City, China. The total price of the contract is approximately $10,090,000. As of October 31, 2008 we had received $7,601,450 in advance payments from Heilongjiang for this sale. These advance payments are listed as a liability on our balance sheets since we have only received partial payment for the transfer of the land usage rights to Heilongjiang, and we have not yet completed the transfer. Because we have not yet completed the transfer, the land usage rights are listed as an intangible asset on our balance sheets. Once we receive full payment from Heilongjiang for the sale of these land usage rights, we will complete the transfer to Heilongjiang and no longer account for these rights as an asset.
We used net cash of $212,927 in operating activities for the quarter ended October 31, 2008, compared to $35,074 during the same period in 2007 and $637,234 from our inception on November 27, 2006 to October 31, 2008. The large increase in operating expenses for the period ended October 31, 2008 resulted from an increase in our operations and the acquisition of Harbin SQ, our majority owned subsidiary.
We used net cash of $173,737 in investing activities for the quarter ended October 31, 2008, compared to $1,077 during the same period in 2007, and $63,099 from our inception on November 27, 2006 to October 31, 2008. The cash used in investing activities during the period ended October 31, 2008 was used to purchase property and equipment for our manufacturing facility.
We received net cash of $675,325 from financing activities for the quarter ended October 31, 2008, compared to $80,000 during the same period in 2007 and $870,030 from our inception on November 27, 2006 to October 31, 2008. The cash received from financing activities during the period ended October 31, 2008 resulted from the proceeds of short term loans. During the period ended October 31, 2008 our cash position increased by $288,144.
As of October 31, 2008 Shouquan Sun, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and sole director, owed us $911,683. This loan was provided to Mr. Sun by Harbin SQ prior to our acquisition of Harbin SQ. No funds have been forwarded to Mr. Sun since our acquisition of Harbin SQ. From April 30, 2008 to October 31, 2008, Mr. Sun repaid a total of $1,001,574 on the loan. We have received $305,593 of that repayment since our acquisition of Harbin SQ. Mr. Sun has promised to repay the outstanding balance as soon as possible and, in any event, no later than December 31, 2008.
Our monthly cash requirement for the period ended October 31, 2008 was $70,976. Given our present cash position, we have sufficient cash on hand to fund our operations for approximately the next 5 months.
We expect that our total expenses will increase over the next year as we increase our business operations through Harbin SQ, our majority owned subsidiary. We have not been able to reach the break-even point since our inception and have had to rely on outside capital resources. Over the next 12 months, we plan to begin manufacturing, marketing and selling our wind turbine blades. However, we do not anticipate that we will generate sufficient revenues to fund our proposed operations.
We expect to require approximately $1,355,000 in financing over the next 12 months (beginning January 2009), as follows:
Description | Estimated expenses ($) |
Research and development of new technologies | 450,000 |
Marketing | 300,000 |
Salaries | 250,000 |
Equipment maintenance | 50,000 |
Development of distribution chain | 75,000 |
Utilities | 30,000 |
Professional fees | 120,000 |
General and administrative expenses | 80,000 |
Total | 1,355,000 |
At present, our cash requirements for the next 12 months outweigh the funds available to maintain or develop our operations. Of the $1,355,000 that we require for the next 12 months, we had $368,492 in cash as of October 31, 2008. In order to improve our liquidity, we intend to pursue additional equity financing from private investors or possibly a registered public offering. We do not currently have any arrangements in place to complete any private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any private placement financings. If we are unable to achieve the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our research and development activities, as well as our general and administrative expenses, so that we do not exceed the capital resources available to us.
Results of Operations
Revenues
From our inception on November 27, 2006 to October 31, 2008 we generated gross revenues of $148,383 from the sale of combine harvesters manufactured by us. The cost of selling these combine harvesters was $204,873, which resulted in a negative gross profit of $56,490. We did not generate any revenues during the period ended October 31, 2008 or the same period in 2007.
Expenses
We incurred total operating expenses of $714,226 for the quarter ended October 31, 2008, compared to $24,824 for the same period in 2007 and $1,059,731 from our inception on November 27, 2006 to October 31, 2008. The large increase in operating expenses for the period ended October 31, 2008 resulted from an increase in our operations and the acquisition of Harbin SQ, our majority owned subsidiary.

Inflation
The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of October 31, 2008 we had no off balance sheet transactions that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies is included in note 3 of the notes to our financial statements. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and which require the application of significant judgment by our management.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We account for impairment of plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounts Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of”, which requires us to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability when there is event or circumstance that indicates the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable (when the carrying amount exceeds the gross, undiscounted cash flows from use and disposition) and is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over the asset’s (or asset group’s) fair value.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. We recorded significant goodwill upon the acquisition of Harbin SQ, our majority owned subsidiary. Goodwill deemed to have an indefinite life is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually and at any time when events suggest impairment may have occurred. To assess goodwill for impairment, we determine the fair value of our reporting units, which are primarily determined using our management’s assumptions about future cash flows based on long-range strategic plans. This approach incorporates many assumptions including future growth rates, discount factors and tax rates. In the event that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeded its fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeded its implied fair value. No goodwill impairment was recorded for the period ended October 31, 2008 and for the period from our inception on November 27, 2006 to October 31, 2008.
Foreign currency translation
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Our functional currency is the local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). Our financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”, using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses and historical rates for the equity. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the RMB financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income.
