The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed consolidated financial statements
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, through its operating subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), is primarily engaged in the business of manufacturing and distributing refined consumer chemical products.
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. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of September 30, 2009 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the financial statements and notes to thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements represent the consolidated accounts of the Company and 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”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Noncontrolling interests
Noncontrolling interests result from the consolidation of 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 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 then 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, accounts receivable, loan receivables, 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 3 method to measure fair value of their warrant liability. The Company did not identify any other assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC 820.

These carry forwards will expire, if not utilized, beginning in 2028 through 2030. 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.

B. Private Placement
On March 26, 2010, the Company issued 2,100,000 shares of common stock and 2,000,000 Warrants to purchase Common Stock (Series B warrants) to three accredited institutional funds and an accredited investor for $1,000,000. Net proceeds were approximately $870,000, net of issuance costs of approximately $130,000 in cash.
The Stock Purchase Agreement also provided the investors the right, exercisable during the next four months, to purchase an additional 2,100,000 shares of common stock and 2,000,000 Series B Warrants for additional $1,000,000. On June 10, 2010, the investors exercised the option granted and purchased an additional 2,100,000 shares of common stock and 2,000,000 Series B Warrants for additional $1,000,000. The Stock Purchase Agreement also provided that if the net income (before non-cash items) of ANNO for the year ended September 30, 2010 is less than $4 million or if the net income (before non-cash items) of ANNO for the year ended September 30, 2011 is less than $5 million, then ANNO will issue additional common stock to the investors in order to reduce their per share purchase price in proportion to the shortfall in net income. The Stock Purchase Agreement also contains certain affirmative and negative covenants by ANNO regarding the operations of the Company and restricting future financing transactions.
The Series B Warrants will allow the holders, during the next three years, to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock from ANNO for a price of $1.50 per share. Cashless exercise is permitted only if there is no effective registration statement permitting resale of the common shares underlying the Series B Warrants.
In connection with the placement by the Company, three stockholders of the Company delivered to the investors three-year warrants to purchase from the shareholders up to 2,000,000 shares of the ANNO common stock for $.80 per share. In addition, one of the stockholders gave to the investors a put option pursuant to which the investors can require the stockholder to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares for $.75 per share during the six month period commencing one year from the closing date.
C. Loss on Private Placement
The Series B Warrants have an initial exercise price which 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 the potential for adjustments, 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 calculated the fair value of the Series B warrants and Option at March 26, 2010 (date of grant) to be $1,476,761 and $3,162,290, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 1.64%, volatility of 127.39%, dividend yield of 6.0%, and expected term of 3 years for the warrants and 3 months for the option. The excess of the fair values of the warrants and option over the net proceeds received of $870,000 was charged to loss on private placement in the condensed statement of operations.
On June 10, 2010, the investors exercised the Option and purchased an additional 2,100,000 shares of common stock and 2,000,000 Series B Warrants for additional $1,000,000. The Option was revalued and the change in value of $2, 456,015 compared to that of March 31, 2010 was charged to other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The Company calculated the fair value of the warrants issued at June 10, 2010 (date of grant) to be $3,006,914, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 1.27%, volatility of 157.10%, dividend yield of 6.0%, and expected term of 3 years for the warrants. The excess of the fair values of the Series B Warrants over the net proceeds received of $919,975was charged to loss on private placement in the condensed statement of operations.
As of June 30, 2010, the fair value of outstanding warrants was $5,780,957. The change in fair value of warrants in the amount of $1,297,282 was recorded as a change of fair value of derivative liabilities in the condensed statement of operations.
The following table summarizes the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants outstanding at June 30, 2010:
