AMERICAN NANO SILICON TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
American Nano-Silicon Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “ANNO”) was originally incorporated in the State of California on September 6, 1996 as CorpHQ, Inc. (“CorpHQ”). The Company has been primarily engaged in the business of manufacturing and distributing refined consumer chemical products through its subsidiaries, Nanchong Chunfei Nano-Silicon Technologies Co., Ltd. (“Nanchong Chunfei”), Sichuan Chunfei Refined Chemicals Co., Ltd. (“Chunfei Chemicals”), and Sichuan Hedi Veterinary Medicines Co., Ltd. (“Hedi Medicines”).
On August 26, 2006, ANNO, through its wholly owned subsidiary American Nano Silicon Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ANST”), acquired a 95% interest in Nanchong Chunfei, a company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”) in August 2006. Nanchong Chunfei directly owns 90% of Chunfei Chemicals, a Chinese corporation established under the laws of PRC on January 6, 2006. Chunfei Chemicals itself owns 92% of Hedi Medicines, also a Chinese company incorporated under the law of PRC on June 27, 2002.
On September 6, 2011, the Company acquired all minority interests in its subsidiaries by agreeing to issue 1,650,636 shares of common stock to the minority interest holders. Thereafter, Nanchong Chunfei, Chunfei Chemicals, and Hedi Medicines became wholly owned subsidiaries of ANNO. The shares were issued to the minority interest holders on November 28, 2011.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, the information included in these interim financial statements reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year.
As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency, suspended manufacturing operations in May 2011 as part of an effort to relocate the production facilities, and needs additional cash resources to maintain its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the audit report on our consolidated financial statements included with the Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended September 30, 2011. In December 2011, the Company fully completed its relocation to the new manufacturing facility and began limited production on January 2, 2012.The Company will need additional funds to meet its operating and financing obligations until sufficient cash flows are generated from anticipated production to sustain operations and to fund future development and financing obligations. The Company’s largest shareholder and President, Mr. Pu Fachun, has the intention to continue providing necessary funding for the Company’s normal operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements represent the consolidated accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Nanchong Chunfei, Chunfei Chemicals and Hedi Medicines. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Non-controlling interests
Prior to the acquisition on September 6, 2011, non-controlling interests result from the consolidation of our 95% directly owned subsidiary, Nanchong Chunfei, 85.5% indirectly owned subsidiary, Chunfei Chemicals, and 78.66% indirectly owned subsidiary, Hedi Medicines.
Use of estimates
In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the 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 consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates required to be made by the management include, but are not limited to, the recoverability of long-lived assets and the valuation of accounts receivable and inventories, valuation of warrant liabilities, and fair value of other financial instruments. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Risks and uncertainties
The operations of the Company are located in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, in addition to the general state of the PRC economy. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1- Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2- Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3- Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, taxes payable, construction security deposit, due to related parties, prepaid expenses, other receivables, advance to suppliers, short-term loan, accounts payable, advance from customers, other payables and accrued expenses approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the long-term debt approximates fair value based on market rates and terms currently available to the Company. The Company uses Level 2 method to measure fair value of its warrant liability (see note 12).
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash on deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Inventory
Inventories consist of raw materials, packing supplies, work-in-progress and finished goods. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a weighted average basis. Market value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to complete the sale. No allowance for inventories was considered necessary as of the balance sheet dates.
Advance to suppliers
Advance to suppliers represents the payments made and recorded in advance for goods and services. Advances were also made for the purchase of the materials and equipment of the Company’s construction in progress.
Property, plant & equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. The cost of an asset is comprised of its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and location for its intended use. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:
| Buildings and improvements | 39 years |
| Machinery, equipment and automobiles | 5-10 years |
Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction or acquisition and design fees incurred for the Company’s new plant and equipment. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until it is completed and ready for its intended use. The new plant and equipment was available and ready for use in January 2012.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with ASC 360, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under the FASB Codification Topic 605 (“ASC Topic 605”). Revenue is recognized when all the following have occurred: persuasive evidence of arrangement with customers, products are delivered, fees are fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as advance from customers. There was no revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as manufacturing was suspended due to the relocation to our new facility.
Shipping and handling
Shipping and handling costs incurred for shipping of finished products to customers are included in selling expense and totaled $0 and $3,154 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, and 2010, respectively.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income tax under the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-25, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of the events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences between tax and financial statements bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances will also be established against net deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Uncertain tax positions
During the course of business, there are certain transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We establish reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes may be due. These reserves are established when we believe that certain positions might be challenged despite our belief that our tax return positions are fully supportable. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the outcome of a tax audit or changes in the tax law. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate. As of December 31, 2011, we had no unrecognized tax benefits or provisions.
Value added tax
Value added tax is imposed on goods sold in or imported in the PRC. Value added tax payable in the People’s Republic of China is charged on an aggregated basis at a rate of 13% or 17% (depending on the type of goods involved) on the full price collected for the goods sold or, in the case of taxable services provided, at a rate of 17% on the charges for the taxable services provided, but excluding, in respect of both goods and services, any amount paid in respect of value added tax included in the price or charges, and less any deductible value added tax already paid by the taxpayer on purchases of goods and services in the same financial year. The value added tax recoverable for the Company as of December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011 was $15,426 and $15,038, respectively.,
Earnings (Loss) per share
Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with the ASC 260, “Earnings per share.” Basic net earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, but excluding shares issued as compensation that have not yet vested. Diluted net earnings per share are based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised, and that all unvested shares have vested. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.
Statement of cash flows
In accordance with FASB ASC 230, cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of advances to suppliers and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its debtors and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts.
Foreign currency translation
The Company’s principal country of operations is the PRC. The financial position and results of operations of the Company are determined using the local currency, Renminbi (“RMB”), as the functional currency. Foreign currency transactions are translated at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Equity accounts are translated in the historical exchange rate when the transactions took place.
Asset and liability accounts at December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010 were translated at 6.30559 RMB to $1.00 and at 6.3843 RMB to $1.00, respectively, which were the exchange rates on the balance sheet dates. Equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to the statements of income and cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were 6.35535 RMB and 6.6557 RMB to $1.00, respectively. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.
RMB is not a fully convertible currency. All foreign exchange transactions involving RMB must take place either through the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC”) or other institutions authorized to buy and sell foreign exchange. The exchange rates adopted for the foreign exchange transactions are the rates of exchange quoted by the PBOC, which are determined largely by supply and demand.

The Company incurred a net operating loss for U.S and China income tax purposes for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The net operating loss carry forwards, including share-based compensation, for United States income tax purposes amounted to $2,441,832 and $1,283,702 as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which may be available to reduce future years' taxable income. These carry forwards will expire, if not utilized, beginning in 2028 through 2030 for U.S tax purpose and 2017 for China income tax purpose . Management believes that the realization of the benefits arising from these losses appear to be uncertain due to the Company's business operations being primarily conducted in China and foreign income not recognized in the US for United States income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively for the temporary difference related to the loss carry-forwards.

NOTE 12 – WARRANTS LIABILITY
In March and June 2010, the Company issued 4,200,000 shares of common stock and Warrants to purchase 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock (Series B warrants) to three accredited institutional funds and an accredited investor for $2,000,000.
The exercise price of the Series B Warrants is subject to adjustments in certain circumstances for stock splits, combinations, dividends and distributions, reclassification, exchange or substitution, reorganization, merger, consolidation or sales of assets, issuance of additional shares of common stock or equivalents. As a result of its interpretation, the Company concluded that the Series B Warrants and Option to purchase additional common stock and Series B Warrants should be treated as derivative liabilities because the warrants are entitled to a price adjustment provision to allow the exercise price to be reduced in the event the Company issues or sells any additional shares of common stock at a price per share less than the then-applicable exercise price or without consideration, which is typically referred to as a “down-round protection” or “anti-dilution” provision. The Company uses Level 2 inputs to measure fair value of its warrant liability.
During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company's warrant liability accounts changed as follows:
| | Warrants | |
Opening balance | | $ | 1,545,098 | |
Issued in three months ended December 31,2011 | | | - | |

Overview
We are a nano-technology chemical manufacturer. We manufacture and market “Micro Nano Silicon™” our own proprietary product in China. Micro Nano Silicon is an ultra fine crystal that can be utilized as a non-phosphorous additive in detergents, as an accelerant additive in cement, as a flame retardant additive in rubber and plastics and as a pigment for paint. Micro Nano Silicon can replicate the chemical additives that are utilized in these products, but are less expensive and more environmentally friendly than competitive products. We are in the process of developing additional uses for Micro Nano Silicon for the petrochemical, plastic, rubber, paint and ceramic industries. We have entered into a long-term joint research and development agreement with the China Academy of Science, a technology research institution, Sichuan University of Science and Technology, and Southwest University of Science and Technology’s Department of Material Science and Engineering to assist us in our research and development activities.
Prior to June 2008, the Company was engaged in the business of manufacturing and distributing refined consumer chemical products and veterinary drugs through its subsidiaries. However, our research indicated that the market for non-phosphorus detergent additives offered a significant opportunity. Our research indicated that in China 4A zeolite is the industry standard for non-phosphorus detergent agents and the feedback from our customers indicated that our product could challenge 4A zeolite for the leadership in the industry. In May 2011, the Company began moving to its new factory site located at Nanchong Shili Industrial Street, Economic and Technology Development Zone, Xiaolong Chunfei Industrial Park, which is approximately 12.4 miles from the Company's previous factory site. The Company temporarily suspended production to facilitate the move, resulting in a decrease in sales in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 and no sales in the fourth quarter. There were no sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. On December 8, 2011, the Company announced that it had successfully relocated to its new facility in Nanchong, Sichuan, China. In addition to housing existing equipment and machinery from its previous facility, ANNO’s latest facility also contains new equipment that enables the Company to increase its product diversification capabilities as well as to manufacture its new flame retardant additive product. The Company began limited production of its flame retardant additive product on January 2, 2012.
Results of Operations
Revenues
We did not generate any sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $5,929,436 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. The lack of revenue was due to the fact that when we moved our factory site during the second half of fiscal year 2011 to facilitate product diversification capabilities, production was completely suspended.
Gross Profit
As we didn’t generate any revenues, we also didn’t generate any gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. In comparison, for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, we generated $1,470,877 in gross profit.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses, include expenses associated with salaries and other expenses related to marketing and administrative activities. In addition, we have incurred expenses through the use of consultants and other outsourced service providers to take advantage of specialized knowledge and capabilities that we require for short durations of time to avoid unnecessary hiring of full-time staff.
Our SG&A expenses for quarters ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $413,292 and $170,983 respectively. The increase of $243,309 or 142% was mainly due to the adjustments made to SG&A expense for $147,367 of depreciation expense associated with manufacturing facility and equipment and increased depreciation expense of $52,970 due to the increased property, plant and equipment.
Research and Development Expenses
For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, we paid $78,674 to Sichuan University of Science and Technology in research and development fees for developing our flame retardant product line. By entering into cooperative research agreements with research institutions and universities, we are able to limit our overhead expenses, but still benefit from the innovations achieved. In comparison, for the same period in fiscal year 2011, we did not incur any expenditure related to research and development.
Operating income; Other income and expense
As we did not generate any sales during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, our income from operations resulted in a net loss of $491,966. In comparison, during the same period in fiscal year 2011, we generated realized other income of $1,299,894.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, our other income totaled $275,957, compared to $1,476,231 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. In both periods, the primary component of other income was the change in fair value of our outstanding warrants that resulted from the decrease in the price of our common stock. As the warrants lost value, we reported other comprehensive income when our liability was reduced: $358,109 in the three months ended December 31, 2011 and $1,484,396 in the three months ended December 31, 2010.
Net Loss
We incurred a net loss of $216,009 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 as compared to a net profit of $2,582,965 during the quarter ended December 31, 2010. Once we fully launch our flame retardant additive product line, we believe that the top line benefits will more than compensate for the increased expenses, and that we will realize increased income from operations in future periods. Whether we also realize net income will depend, in part, on changes in our warrant liability that we may be required to record as other income or other expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2011 we had a working capital deficit of $3,636,220. The current liabilities are primarily composed of short term loans totaling $1,450,389, and payables due to related parties totaling $1,662,114. At December 31, 2011 we had loans due to unrelated third parties in the aggregate principal amount of $2,004,708. This amount includes $554,319 in loans that mature in 2013 and 2014.
To date, the Company has not commenced full-scale manufacture at its new facilities, although limited production began on January 2, 2012. The primary reason is a lack of working capital to purchase raw materials for its products. In the past, the Company received seller financing for its raw material purchases from its single largest supplier and customer. However, in an effort to minimize this concentration risk, the Company is actively negotiating with other raw materials suppliers to secure beneficial terms and long-term cooperation agreements to facilitate production at its new site. The Company has a working capital deficiency, has suspended manufacturing operations in May 2011 as part of an effort to relocate the production facilities and needs additional cash resources to maintain its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the audit report on our consolidated financial statements included with the Annual report on Form 10K for the year ended September 30, 2011. In December 2011, the Company fully completed its relocation to the new manufacturing facility and began limited production on January 2, 2012.The Company will need additional funds to meet its operating and financing obligations until sufficient cash flows are generated from anticipated production to sustain operations and to fund future development and financing obligations. The Company’s largest shareholder and President, Mr. Pu Fachun has the intention to continue providing necessary funding for the Company’s normal operations.
The cash used in our operations was $338,192 during the quarter December 31, 2011. Our net loss of $216,009 and change of $358,109 in fair value of warrant liabilities exceeded depreciation and amortization of $208,927 in this period.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, we used $23,609 in investing activities due to additions to property and equipment. Our financing activities in the quarter ended December 31, 2011 included proceeds of $862,265 from related party loans and $631,751 from unrelated party loans offset by paying down short term loans with these proceeds in the amount of $1,180,107. Overall, our financing activities provided $313,909 during the quarter ended December 31, 2011.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of December 31, 2011, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in enabling us to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings within the required time period, due to the lack of expertise in U.S. GAAP accounting among the personnel in our accounting department.
Changes in Internal Controls. There was no change in internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act or 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation described in the preceding paragraph that occurred during the Company’s first fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
