Shipping and handling
The Changda International Group includes shipping and handling fees and costs in cost of goods sold. Related fees and costs charged to customers are classified as revenue.
Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during the period from transactions and other events, excluding the changes resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.
Earnings per common stock
Basic earnings per common stock is computed by dividing net income to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stocks outstanding for the period. Dilutive earnings per common stock includes the effect of outstanding stock options, warrants and shares issuable pursuant to convertible debt, convertible preferred stock and certain stock incentive plans under the treasury stock method, if including such instruments is dilutive.
During the period, the Company has no dilutive instruments. Accordingly, the basic and diluted earnings per common stock are the same.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income during the period in which they are incurred.
Changda International Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
2. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
| Property, plant and equipment (continued) |
| Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less accumulated impairment losses of property, plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, over their estimated useful lives as set out below from the date on which they are available for use and after taking into account of their estimated residual values, using the straight-line method. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost or valuation of the item is allocated on a reasonable basis and depreciated separately: |
| | Annual depreciation rate | |
Buildings | | | 5% - 10 | % |
Plant and machinery | | | 11% - 12 | % |
Office equipment | | | 12% - 19 | % |
Vehicles | | | 10% - 18 | % |
Factory equipment | | | 18 | % |
| Changda International Group evaluates the recoverability of these assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. |
| Construction in progress is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes all construction expenditure and other direct costs, including interest costs, attributable to such projects. Costs on completed construction works are transferred to the appropriate asset category. No depreciation is provided in respect of construction in progress until it is completed and available for use. |
| Prepaid lease payments are up-front payments to acquire fixed term interests in lessee-occupied land. The premiums are stated at cost and are amortized over the period of the lease on a straight-line basis to the condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income. |
| The initial cost of acquiring trademarks is capitalized. Trademarks with indefinite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Trademarks with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is provided on the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 10 years. |
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include restricted bank balances, trade and other receivables or payables, prepayments and borrowings. The management has estimated that the carrying amount approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of non-current financial instruments was not materially different from their carrying value as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
Changda International Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
2. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
| For the purpose of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, cash equivalents represent short-term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, net of bank overdrafts. |
| Revenue is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Changda International Group and when the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably and on the following basis. |
| Sale of goods is recognized on transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to customers and title is passed. |
| Foreign currency translation |
| Items included in the Changda International Group’s financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Changda International Group operates, that is the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”) (“functional currency”). |
| Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in current operations, whilst translation adjustments are recognized in other comprehensive income, with is a separate component of stockholders’ equity. |
| The presentational currency is the United States Dollars, presented in thousands. |
| Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost, which comprises all costs of purchase and, where applicable, cost of conversion and other costs that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition, is calculated using the weighted average cost method. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. |
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed at least annually for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, impairment is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets and recorded as a reduction of original costs. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
2. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
| Provisions are recognized when the Changda International Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of obligation can be made. Expenditures for which a provision has been recognized are charged against the related provision in the period in which the expenditures are incurred. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount provided is the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. Where the Changda International Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. |
| Government grants are recognized at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income over the years necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate. Where the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is credited to a deferred income account and is released to the condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments. |
Operating leases
Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the leasing company are accounted for as operating leases. Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are recognized as expense and revenue on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.
| Retirement benefits scheme |
| Payment to the state-managed retirement benefits schemes is charged as expense as it falls due. |
| The charge for current income tax is based on the results for the period as adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
| Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, if the deferred tax arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss, it is not accounted for. |
| The deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is recovered or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, tax losses and credits can be utilized. |
Changda International Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
2. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
Use of estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with USGAAP requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. The management evaluates these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and bases their estimates on experience, current and expected future conditions, third-party evaluations and various other assumptions that they believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities as well as identifying and assessing the accounting treatment with respect to commitments and contingencies.
Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for certain items such as allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, inventory allowance, taxes and contingencies.
Related parties
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
| Critical accounting estimates and judgments |
| Estimates and judgments are currently evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Apart from information disclosed elsewhere in these financial statements, the following summarize the estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. |
| Allowance of bad and doubtful debts |
| The provisioning policy for bad and doubtful debts of the Changda International Group is based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of the accounts receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each debtor. If the financial conditions of these customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowance will be required. |
| Allowance for inventories |
| The Changda International Group’s management reviews an ageing analysis of inventories at each balance sheet date, and make allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventory items identified that are no longer recoverable or suitable for use in production. The management estimates the net realizable value for finished goods and work-in-progress based primarily on the latest invoice prices and current market conditions. The Changda International Group carries out an inventory review on a product-by-product basis at each balance sheet date and makes allowances for obsolete items. |

Codification will become the source of authoritative US GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Once the Codification is in effect, all of its content will carry the same level of authority. The adoption of this Statement does not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. However, because the Codification completely replaces existing standards, it will affect the way US GAAP is referenced within the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accounting policies.
In June 2009, the FASB issued the following new accounting standards:
- | SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”). SFAS 166 amends the de-recognition accounting and disclosure guidance relating to SFAS 140. SFAS 166 eliminates the exemption from consolidation for qualifying special-purpose entity “(QSPE”), it also requires a transferor to evaluate all existing QSPE to determine whether it must be consolidated in accordance with SFAS 167. |
- | SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”), which amends FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003) to address the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. SFAS 167 also replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additionally, SFAS 167 provides more timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement with a variable interest entity. |
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 820, “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value”, with respect to the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASC Topic 820 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 following techniques: (1) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, (2) the quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets, and (3) another valuation technique (e.g., a market approach or income approach) including a technique based on the amount an entity would pay to transfer the identical liability, or a technique based on the amount an entity would receive to enter into an identical liability.
SFAS 166 and SFAS 167 will be effective for periods beginning after November 15, 2009 and ASC Topic 820 will be effective for periods beginning after October 1, 2009 with early adoption permitted. The Company has not elected to early adopt these standards and is evaluating the impact that these standards will have on the consolidated financial statements.

Those events as well as any cautionary language in this Form 10-Q provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. You should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in this Form 10-Q could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Actual results may differ materially from current expectations. Additional information relating to the company, including our previous Report on Form 8-K, can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.
Overview
We are, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Changda International Ltd. (“Changda International”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), Weifang Changda Fertilizer Co., Ltd. and Weifang Changda Chemical Co., Ltd., engaged in the development, manufacture, and distribution of fertilizer and chemical products.
Weifang Changda Fertilizer Co., Ltd. (“Changda Fertilizer”) and Weifang Changda Chemcial Co., Ltd. (“Changda Chemical”) are legally registered and operated enterprises in PRC. Changda Fertilizer is a pioneer and supplier of advanced fertilizer in PRC, while Changda Chemical is one of PRCs biggest manufacturers and exporters of environmentally friendly snow melting agent. Our industrial chemical products include thiophene, flame retardant, calcium chloride, and magnesium chloride.
Our annual production capacities are:
Various fertilizers | 200,000 tons |
Snow melting agents | 250,000 tons |
Thiophene | 500 tons |
Flame retardant | 1,000 tons |
During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we produced a total of approximately 39,184 tons of various fertilizers, 40 tons of snow melting agent, 53 tons of thiophene, and 4,561 tons of other chemicals, of which approximately 31,498 tons, 38 tons, 47 tons, and 3,338 tons, respectively, were sold. The sales value of various fertilizers, snow melting agent, thiophene, and other chemical products amounted to approximately $9,443,028, $2,819, $194,994, and $535,763, which respectively accounted for 92.79%, .03%, 1.92%, and 5.26% of our total sales revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
The following table shows the breakdown of volume and sales amount by product categories for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
Product | Sales volume (tons) Quarter ended September 30, 2009 | Sales revenue (US$ ‘000) (%) Quarter ended September 30, 2009 | Sales volume (tons) Quarter ended September 30, 2008 | Sales revenue (US$ ‘000) (%) Quarter ended September 30, 2008 |
Fertilizers | 31,498 | 9,443 (92.79) | 22,238 | 8,153 (90.09) |
Thiophene | 47 | 195 (1.92) | 90 | 696 (7.69) |
Snow Melting Agents | 38 | 3 (.03) | 175 | 23 (0.25) |
Other Chemical Products | 3,338 | 536(5.26) | 1,144 | 178 (1.97) |
Total | 34,921 | 10,177 (100.00) | 23,647 | 9,050 (100.00) |
Our key raw materials for fertilizers include potassium chloride, potassium sulphate, urea, ammonium phosphate, and sulphur. Since the second half of 2007, we have seen marked volatility in the prices of those raw materials, mostly due to the increasing processing cost of the raw materials caused by higher international market price of sulphur and non-renewable resources such as petroleum and coal. In 2008 to 2009, with the booming domestic demand for fertilizers in China, we experienced worsening shortage and escalating price of potassium chloride. In order to maintain a comparatively stable fertilizer price, the Chinese government continually promulgated a number of supportive and preferential policies to ensure fertilizer supply and to improve the purchasing power of farmers, consequently ensuring the food safety in PRC. We believe these government policies helped boost and will continue to fortify our fertilizer sales.
The $586 billion government stimulus announced in November 2008 and extended until 2010 have sustained the development of rural infrastructure and water supply projects in rural areas, among other projects. Infrastructure construction, an important pillar of China’s economic progress, will contribute to the growth of the agriculture industry and the demand for our products. Two other major factors that we envisage will promote the essential need for our fertilizers are: 1) the increasing domestic consumption and export demand for China’s agricultural products, and 2) the decreasing availability of arable farm lands.
The rapid economic growth in China over the past two decades has led to income growth that elevated millions of consumers from poverty, resulting in dramatic improvements of standards of living and diet diversification to more protein based. As the world’s largest agricultural economy, China produces and consumes a wide range of agricultural products, from traditional staple grains such as wheat and rice, to more varieties of fruits, vegetables, livestock, poultry and fish, as the demand by a wealthier domestic consumer base and export market dictates. The use of our microbial organic and slow-release fertilizers are essential to augment agricultural production to meet the food needs of a large population with demand for high quality produce, vegetables and fruits that are organic and pollution-free. Even the production of grain for feed given to livestock utilizes fertilizers.
China’s agricultural production comes almost entirely from small-scale operations. According to China’s 2007 agricultural census, the country has 200 million farm households and an estimated 122 million hectares (494 million acres) of cultivated land—an average of 0.6 hectare (1.5 acres) per household. These small land holdings are typically divided into several parcels that are not adjacent to each other. Industrial and urban growth further decreased the agricultural land base. To coax production out of such small plots, farm households engage in intensive agricultural practices, including high levels of fertilizer application and raising two or three crops per year on a single plot.
With the growing global and domestic demand for pharmaceutical base product, we are confident about the sales growth of our chemical products as well. We have aligned ourselves with large corporate and government clients for the distribution of these products. Our snow melting agent had gained a 10% market share in Japan. We are focused in increasing our product variety and strengthening our presence in the market.
We believe that research and development, quality control and production capacity are key factors to maintaining and improving our competitive position and enhance our long term capability. As a result, we have been placing emphasis on:
1. Research and development of new products;
2. Product quality control;
3. Improvement of operating efficiency and employee competence;
4. Expansion of production capacity;
5. Further exposure to bigger markets and diversified customers.
Our newly developed fertilizer product, microbial semi-organic slow release fertilizer, has been tested by our customers and received a good response. Functional fertilizer will be the emphasis in our future research and development activities.
Our company obtained its ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications in July 25, 2007. Our qualified output rate of the products certified for ISO reached 100% compliance. This helped us not only in increasing productivity, but also in acquiring a growing number of loyal customers.
We adopt multi-brand and multi-channel sales strategy and constantly strive to broaden our customer base. We believe broader customer base will mitigate the potential operational risk for us. We also believe that a broad market for our products can increase demand for our products, reduce the threat of negative market changes, and provide additional opportunities for our growth.

Operating Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 of approximately $10,177,000 compared to the net sales of approximately $9,050,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 represents an increase of approximately $1,127,000 or 12.45%. The increase in sales revenue was mostly due to the increase in the volume of fertilizer sales, offsetting the decrease in the average sales price of fertilizers.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $8,530,000, or 83.8% of net sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was approximately $7,893,000 or 87.2% of net sales. The decrease in cost of sales resulted from the decreasing production cost caused by lower raw material price for fertilizers and chemical products.
Gross Profit
Total gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $1,647,000 or 16.2% of net sales compared to approximately $1,157,000 or 12.8% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in gross profit was mostly due to the decrease of production cost stemming from lower raw material price.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consist primarily of transportation expenses, commission, promotion and advertising expenses, freight charges and general and administrative expenses. Operating expenses amounted to approximately $1,093,000, or 10.74% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to approximately $598,000 or 6.61 % of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Income Taxes
The PRC Subsidiaries having been wholly owned foreign subsidiaries of CIHI are subject to effective tax rates of 34% and 21% for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, as a result of tax grants by the local government of economic development. The income tax paid was approximately $169,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and $94,000 for same period in 2008 .
Net Income
Our net income was approximately $324,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and approximately $364,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in net income was largely due to the increase in operating expenses, and income taxes. Net income as a percentage of total net sales approximated 3.18% and 4.02% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 amounted to approximately $20,000 while net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 amounted to approximately $638,000. The increase of approximately $658,000 was primarily due to the decrease in outstanding accounts receivable and increase in trade and other payables.
Investment Activities
Net cash used in investment activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 amounted to approximately $172,000 and $1,678,000 respectively. This represents a decrease of approximately $1,506,000 which was mainly due to the decrease in acquisition of property, plant and equipment.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 amounted to $98,000 while net cash from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 amounted to approximately $1,368,000. This represents a decrease of approximately $1,466,000 which was primarily due to the decrease in new bank and other loans issued.
Future cash commitments
In order to improve our performance and competitiveness, we are constructing our Heze fertilizer plant and are preparing to rebuild our second chemical plant. We have already invested a total of $4,136,681 into our Heze plant. However, an additional $19,700,000 for construction is expected to be incurred and $11,500,000 for matching working capital will be required. These amounts will be financed primarily through self-financing and fund raising from third party lenders or investors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Our financial statements reflect the selection application of accounting policies which require management to make significant estimates and judgments.
We have disclosed in the notes to our financial statements those accounting policies that we consider to be significant in determining our results of operations and our financial position which we are incorporating by reference herein. We believe that the following reflect the more critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with USGAAP requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. The management evaluates these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and bases their estimates on experience, current and expected future conditions, third-party evaluations and various other assumptions that they believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities as well as identifying and assessing the accounting treatment with respect to commitments and contingencies.
Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for certain items such as allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, inventory allowance, taxes and contingencies.
Recognition of Revenue
Revenue is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Changda International Group and when the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably and on the following basis.
Sale of goods is recognized on transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to customers and title is passed.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are stated based on the amounts invoiced to customers. We review our accounts receivable on a regular basis and a provision for bad debts is determined and recorded in the accounts based on age analysis of the balances.
The provisioning policy for bad and doubtful debts of the Changda International Group is based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of the accounts receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each debtor. If the financial conditions of these customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowance will be required.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income during the period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less accumulated impairment losses of property, plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, over their estimated useful lives as set out below from the date on which they are available for use and after taking into account of their estimated residual values, using the straight-line method. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost or valuation of the item is allocated on a reasonable basis and depreciated separately:
| | Annual depreciation rate | |
Buildings | | | 5% - 10 | % |
Plant and machinery | | | 11% - 12 | % |
Office equipment | | | 12% - 19 | % |
Vehicles | | | 10% - 18 | % |
Factory equipment | | | 18 | % |
Changda International Group evaluates the recoverability of these assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
Foreign currency translation
Items included in the Changda International Group’s financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Changda International Group operates, that is the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”) (“functional currency”).
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in current operations, whilst translation adjustments are recognized in other comprehensive income, with is a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
The presentational currency is the United States Dollars, presented in thousands.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, as such, are not required to provide the information under this item.
Item 4(T). Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”). Disclosure Controls, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Based upon their controls evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our Disclosure Controls are effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our third fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
