| On September 30, 2009, it was approved by the Board of Directors and ratified by the majority shareholders to effect one-for-three reverse split of the issued and outstanding shares without changing its par value of $0.001. The actions contemplated herein became effective on October 14, 2009 according to the Company Information Statement while the reverse split completed at the close of business on November 6, 2009.

2. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of presentations
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2010 have been prepared based upon Securities and Exchange Commission rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of September 30, 2010 and for all periods presented.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“USGAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2010 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are presented in United States dollars and prepared in conformity with USGAAP which requires management to make certain 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial information of CIHI and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Recent issued accounting pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, amending Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value”, to add new requirements for separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It amends ASC Topic 820 that a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. This update provides clarification that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trade should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance or service condition. Therefore, the award would be classified as an equity award if it otherwise qualifies as equity.
ASU No. 2010-06, the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. ASU No. 2010-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The management are in the process of assessing the possible impact on the future adoption of these ASU, but are not yet in a position to reasonably estimate their impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, “Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing in Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses”, which will require the Company to expand disclosures about the credit quality of the Company’s financing receivables and its allowance for credit losses on a disaggregated basis. This ASU will also require the Company to disclose additional information related to credit quality indicators, nonaccrual and past due information, and information related to impaired loans and loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring. The provisions of this ASU are effective for the Company’s reporting period ending December 31, 2010. As this ASU amends only the disclosure requirements for financing receivables and its allowance for credit losses, the adoption will have no im pact on the Company’s results of financial position.

3. | EARNINGS PER COMMON STOCK |
Basic earnings per common stock is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stocks outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common stock is computed similar to basic earnings per common stock except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential shares of common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive.
Earnings per common stock were computed as follows:
| | Nine months ended September 30, 2010 | | | Three months ended September 30, 2010 | |
| | Income | | | Weighted average number of common stocks | | | Per common stock amount | | | Income | | | Weighted average number of common stocks | | | Per common stock amount | |
| | US$’000 | | | | | | US$ | | | US$’000 | | | | | | US$ | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Basic earnings per common stock | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Net income attributable to common stockholders | | | 3,800 | | | | 18,964,025 | | | | 0.20 | | | | 1,284 | | | | 18,964,025 | | | | 0.07 | |
| For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, all potentially dilutive instruments have an anti-dilutive effect. Accordingly, the basic and diluted earnings per common stock are the same. |
| | Nine months ended September 30, 2009 | | Three months ended September 30, 2009 |
| | Income | | Weighted average number of common stocks | | Per common stock amount | | Income | | Weighted average number of common stocks | | Per common stock amount |
| | US$’000 | | | | US$ | | US$’000 | | | | US$ |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Basic earnings per common stock | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Net income attributable to common stockholders | | | 3,475 | | 18,698,686 | | | 0.19 | | 324 | | | 18,870,618 | | 0.02 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Dilutive earnings per common stock | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Net income attributable to common stockholders | | | 3,475 | | 18,698,686 | | | | | 324 | | | 18,870,618 | | |
Effect of dilutive securities | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Warrants | | | | | 85,381 | | | | | - | | | 89,414 | | |

| | | 3,475 | | 18,784,067 | | | 0.18 | | 324 | | | 18,960,032 | | 0.02 |
For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company has included all potentially dilutive securities in the calculation of diluted earnings per common stock.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
| Common stock |
| As of September 30, 2010, the Company has 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share authorized and 18,964,025 shares issued and outstanding. |
| During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, no new share was issued. |
The Company’s principal subsidiaries in the PRC are subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdictions in which each entity domiciles and operates.
Changda Fertilizer is subject to Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) at a rate of 25%.
On December 29, 2008, Changda Chemical was approved as a high-tech enterprise. Tax rate for an approved high-tech enterprise is 15%. Taxation has been estimated based on the assessable profit for the year at a rate of 15% thereafter.
Fengtai Changda is subject to EIT at a rate of 25%, however as a foreign invested enterprise, Fengtai Changda is entitled to full exemption of EIT payable for its two years of operation starting from 2008 and followed by a 50% exemption of EIT payable for the following three years.
Dividends payable by a foreign invested enterprise to its foreign investors are subject to a 10% withholding tax, unless any foreign investor’s jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with the PRC that provides for a different withholding arrangement. Since the Company intends to reinvest its earnings to further expand its businesses in the PRC, its foreign invested enterprises do not intend to declare dividends to their immediate foreign holding companies in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2010, the Company has not recorded any withholding tax on the retained earnings of its foreign invested enterprises in the PRC.
(a) | Income tax expenses comprised the following: |

The Company has adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“ASC Topic 740”) issued by the FASB which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined, and prescribes the measurement process and a minimum recognition threshold for a tax position, taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, that is required to be met before being recognized in the financial statements. Under ASC Topic 740, the Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain position only if it is more-likely-than-not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial sta tements attributable to such position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate resolution of the position.
Subject to the provision of ASC Topic 740, the Company has analyzed its filing positions in all of the domestic and foreign jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns. As of September 30, 2010, the Company has identified the jurisdictions at PRC as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined, in which it is required to file income tax returns. Based on the evaluations noted above, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its consolidated financial statements.

| On February 3, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with nine purchasers pursuant to which the purchasers purchased promissory notes in the aggregate amount of US$900,000 (“February 2010 Notes”). The February 2010 Notes are due and payable on August 3, 2010, together with accrued interest at the rate of 20% per annum. The February 2010 Notes were classified as current liabilities with the corresponding interest of US$125,000, in aggregate, accrued for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. |
| In conjunction with the February 2010 Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchasers of the Febraury 2010 Notes to purchase an aggregate of 495,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“PN Warrants”). The exercise price per share is US$2.25, subject to customary adjustments as set forth in the PN Warrants for stock splits, stock dividends, etc. The PN Warrants expire three years from and fully vested at the date of issuance. The Company assessed the terms in accordance with ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the PN Warrants should be accounted for as equity and are valued at fair value at the date of issuance. |
| |
| In early August 2010, the Company contacted each of the holders of the February 2010 Notes in order to request an extension of the Maturity Date. On August 3, 2010, holders of an aggregate of $200,000 of the February 2010 Notes entered into an agreement with the Company pursuant to which the maturity date of the February 2010 Notes held by such persons have been extended until the earlier of (i) December 1, 2010 or (ii) 5 business days after the closing of a public offering of our equity and/or debt securities (the “New Maturity Date”). In consideration for the extension of the maturity date to the New Maturity Date, the Company agreed to provide these holders of the February 2010 Notes with the following consideration: |
| (i) | the payment of an additional 5% interest on the February 2010 Notes commencing from August 3, 2010 until the New Maturity Date; |
| (ii) | a downward adjustment of the exercise price of the 110,000 PN Warrants issued in connection with the February 2010 Notes from US$2.25 to US$0.75, the closing price of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board on August 2, 2010, the last trading day prior to the date of the agreement; |
| (iii) | an amendment to the cashless feature of the warrants issued in connection with the February 2010 Notes to make the warrants exercisable on a cashless basis immediately as of the date of the agreement; and |
| (iv) | the payment of a pro-rata portion of a US$25,000 payment of interest on the aggregate principal amount of US$900,000 of February 2010 Notes outstanding as of the date of the Agreement. |
On August 6, 2010, holders of an aggregate of $500,000 principal amount of the February 2010 Notes informed us that we were in default and demanded repayment under the February 2010 Notes. Pursuant to the terms of the February 2010 Notes, the Company has five (5) business days to cure an event of default under the February 2010 Notes. Therefore, the holders of the February 2010 Notes are entitled to, among other things (i) the principal amount of the February 2010 Notes along with any interest accrued but unpaid thereon, (ii) an additional interest at a rate of 5% per annum upon and during the occurrence of an event of default and (iii) costs and expenses in connection with the collection and enforcement under the February 2010 Notes, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. On October 1, 2010, the Company received further notice that on September 27, 2010, holders of an aggregate of $250,000 principal amount of the February 2010 Notes filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (the “Court”), Index No. 651595/10, against the Company seeking repayment of their respective February 2010 Notes.
As of the date of this report, the Company has not received any response or correspondences from the holder of the remaining $200,000 aggregate principal amount of the February 2010 Notes.
While the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $9.8 million as of September 30, 2010 as reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has encountered difficulties in remitting funds out of the PRC to repay the February 2010 Notes. Specifically, the State Administration of Foreign Exchnage (SAFE), which must approve certain registration and amendment procedures necessary for capital inflow from an offshore entity, such as inbound investments or shareholders loans, or capital outflow to an offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidation distribution, equity sales proceeds, or return of funds upon a capital reduction, did not grant the PRC subsidiaries approval to remit funds out of the PRC. The Company is currently working on making arrange ments to honor our obligations under the February 2010 Notes, either from the PRC operating subsidiaries or otherwise. However, there can be no assurance that any such arrangements will ever materialize or be permissible or sufficient to cover any or all of the obligations under the February 2010 Notes. If such indebtedness has not been repaid prior to the effectiveness of any registration statement then the Company intends to use a portion of the proceeds from the offering to repay such indebtedness so that following the offering, all principal and accrued but unpaid interest and penalties accrued thereon shall be satisfied in full.
If the Company does not repay the principal and all interest and penalties accrued under the February 2010 Notes within a timely fashion, the Company may be required to sell assets or curtail operations, any of which could adversely affect our revenues and financial position. Interest continues to accrue on the February 2010 Notes at a rate of 25% per annum.

Historical Overview
On February 13, 2009, we completed a “reverse acquisition” transaction pursuant to which the stockholders of Changda International transferred all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Changda International to us in exchange for 15,909,988 newly issued shares and 1,956,667 shares transferred from our stockholders. Upon closing of the reverse acquisition, Changda International became our wholly owned subsidiary, with Changda International’s former stockholders acquiring a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock. The acquisition of Changda International was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition”, since the stockholders of Changda International acquired a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock immediately following the closing of the transacti on. Changda International was deemed to be the accounting acquirer upon such closing of the transaction and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that is reflected in the financial statements are those of Changda International.
Overview of the Business
We are engaged in developing, manufacturing and the selling of (i) microbial organic and inorganic compound fertilizers and (ii) chemical products, primarily consisting of snow melting products. We have more than 10 fertilizer product lines which are sold under the “CHANGDA” and “FENGTAI WOSIDA” brands. Our proprietary product lines are marketed and sold to distributors which in turn sell our products to farmers. For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, 81% of our revenues ($14 million) were derived from our fertilizer products and 19% of our revenues ($3 million) were derived from our chemical products.
In accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting and based on the nature of revenue, we are organized into two business segments, consisting of (i) fertilizer products and (ii) chemical products, which includes mainly snow melting agent, thiophene, flame retardant, calcium chloride and magnesium chloride.
Product Pricing
Our products that account for a substantial amount of our sales are fertilizers, de-icing salt, and flame retardant. The establishment of the sales price of these products are influenced primarily by the cost of the raw materials, economic conditions which affect the price and demand for agricultural products, China’s export tariffs which impact the price of products domestically, and weather conditions.
From the end of 2009 through the first quarter of 2010, prices of fertilizer raw materials dropped at a rate lower than what occurred from 2008 to 2009. While prices of raw materials continued to drop during the first quarter of 2010, based upon presentation made at the 78 th Fertilizer Industry Association Annual Conference on Fertilizer Outlook 2010 -2014 made in Paris, France in September 2010, management believes that this trend is going to stop and is anticipated that prices will begin to increase in 2010 as the demand for fertilizer products increases. Average sales prices of fertilizers increased during the third quarter of 2010 compared to those during the third quarter of 2009 and the second quarter of 2010.
Seasonality of Sales
We experience seasonal variations in our revenues and our operating costs due to the farming season. The peak selling seasons for our fertilizer products are the first, second and fourth quarters of the year. These periods are the planting and crop-growing months, which boost fertilizer sales. The third quarter of the year is harvest season, hence the low demand for fertilizer. The peak selling seasons for our chemical products are the first and fourth quarters of the year. These quarters are the winter season in China, hence the strong demand for deicing salt, calcium chloride and salt. The third quarter of the year is typically our slowest due to the low demand for our chemical products.
Fertilizer Products
Our organic and inorganic fertilizer products are classified into the following categories:
| Complex Fertilizers. These fertilizers contain two or three of the primary nutrients of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and are made by a process involving only chemical reactions between raw materials and intermediates. |
| Compound Fertilizers. Such fertilizers are produced by initiating chemical reactions between the three primary nutrients of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium during the production process. We have expanded our product offerings to include a microbial organic-inorganic compound fertilizer which (i) helps plants secure nitrogen from the air, (ii) facilitates plants’ absorption of useful minerals such as phosphorus and potassium from the soil and (iii) enhances stress resistance by the plants. The combination of the organic and inorganic elements enhances soil fertility and crop yield respectively. |
| Slow-Release Compound Fertilizer. This group of fertilizers allows fertilizer nutrients to be released over a period of time, enabling plants to absorb most of the nutrients and enhance yield rate. We have also developed controlled-release fertilizers. |
Our products sold through our distributor, China Post are sold under the “FENGTAI WOSIDA” brand. We have entered into a distribution agreement with China Post whereby China Post has the exclusive right to sell our products under the “FENGTAI WOSIDA” brand in the Shandong Province. In order to distribute our products throughout the Shandong Province, we have to enter into a sales agency agreement with a local branch of China Post that covers a particular region within the Shandong province. Currently we have entered into sales agency agreements with 10 local branches of China Post, all of which are on the same terms and expire on December 31, 2010. While we are not dependent on any one local branch of China Post for the distribution of our products, any inability to renew any sales agency agreement or if such agreements are, they are renewed on terms less favorable to us, with any local branch of China Post will limit our ability to distribute our product within the Shandong Province and could result have an adverse effect on our financial condition. We sell our products throughout China, including the Shandong Province, under two different brand names, including the “CHANGDA” brand, to maximize the sale of our fertilizer products in the same market through a variety of different distribution channels.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, our top ten selling fertilizers were as follows:

Default on the February 2010 Notes
On February 3, 2010, we issued promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $900,000 to certain accredited investors (the “February 2010 Notes”). The notes bear interest at 20% and matured on August 3, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”).
In early August 2010, we contacted each of the holders of the February 2010 Notes in order to request an extension of the Maturity Date. On August 3, 2010, holders of an aggregate of $200,000 of the February 2010 Notes entered into an agreement with us pursuant to which the maturity date of the February 2010 Notes held by such persons have been extended until the earlier of (i) December 1, 2010 or (ii) 5 business days after the closing of a public offering of our equity and/or debt securities (the “New Maturity Date”). In consideration for the extension of the Maturity Date to the New Maturity Date, we agreed to provide these holders of the February 2010 Notes with the following consideration:
(i) | the payment of an additional 5% interest on the February 2010 Notes commencing from August 3, 2010 until the New Maturity Date; |
(ii) | a downward adjustment of the exercise price of the 110,000PN Warrants issued in connection with the February 2010 Notes from $2.25 to $0.75, the closing price of our common stock as quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board on August 2, 2010, the last trading day prior to the date of the agreement; |
(iii) | an amendment to the cashless feature of warrants issued in connection with the February 2010 Notes to make the warrants exercisable on a cashless basis immediately as of the date of the agreement; and |
(iv) | the payment of a pro-rata portion of a $25,000 payment of interest on the aggregate principal amount of $900,000 of the February 2010 Notes outstanding as of the date of the agreement. |
On August 6, 2010, holders of an aggregate of $500,000 principal amount of the February 2010 Notes informed us that we were in default and demanded repayment under the February 2010 Notes. Pursuant to the terms of the February 2010 Notes, we have five (5) business days to cure an event of default under the February 2010 Notes. Therefore, the holders of the February 2010 Notes are entitled to, among other things (i) the principal amount of the February 2010 Notes along with any interest accrued but unpaid thereon, (ii) an additional interest at a rate of 5% per annum upon and during the occurrence of an event of default and (iii) costs and expenses in connection with the collection and enforcement under the February 2010 Notes, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
As of the date of this report, we have not received any response or correspondence from the holder of the remaining $200,000 aggregate principal amount of the February 2010 Notes.
While we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $9.8 million as of September 30, 2010 as reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements, we have encountered difficulties in remitting funds out of the PRC to repay the February 2010 Notes. Specifically, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), which must approve certain registration and amendment procedures necessary for capital inflow from an offshore entity, such as inbound investments or shareholders loans, or capital outflow to an offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidation distribution, equity sales proceeds, or return of funds upon a capital reduction, did not grant the PRC subsidiaries approval to remit funds out of the PRC. We are currently working on making arrangements to honor our obligations und er the February 2010 Notes, either from our PRC operating subsidiaries or otherwise. However, there can be no assurance that any such arrangements will ever materialize or be permissible or sufficient to cover any or all of the obligations under the February 2010 Notes. If such indebtedness has not been repaid prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this report forms a part then we intend to use a portion of the proceeds from this offering to repay such indebtedness so that following the offering, all principal and accrued but unpaid interest and penalties accrued thereon shall be satisfied in full.
If we do not repay the principal and all interest and penalties accrued under the February 2010 Notes within a timely fashion, we may be required to sell assets or curtail operations, any of which could adversely affect our revenues and financial position. Interest continues to accrue on the February 2010 Notes at a rate of 25% per annum.
On October 1, 2010, the Company received notice that on September 27, 2010, holders of an aggregate of $250,000 principal amount of the February 2010 Notes filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (the “Court”), Index No. 651595/10, against the Company seeking repayment of their respective February 2010 Notes. The Company is currently working on making arrangements to honor its obligations under the February 2010 Notes, either from the PRC operating subsidiaries or otherwise, however, there can be no assurance that any such arrangements will ever materialize or be permissible or sufficient to cover any or all of the obligations under the February 2010 Notes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 amounted to approximately $6,999,000. Net cash from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 amounted to approximately $20,000. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $6,979,000 was primarily due to the increase in net income, government grants and collection of accounts receivable, net of the effect of increased purchases of raw materials and other inventory items. The price of the key raw materials in the manufacture of fertilizers, namely urea and potassium, had started to recover in 2009 but the markets have since become more volatile. Management decided that, in order to limit the risks of exposure to market volatility and sudden price increase s, it was beneficial to take advantage of the reduced price offered by raw material suppliers and entered into agreements with said suppliers at contracted prices. This will enable the company to maintain its gross profit ratio despite the likelihood of an increase in the price of raw materials. Furthermore, the purchase of the inventory items were made in anticipation of increased sales of fertilizer for the fourth quarter, which is considered a planting season.
Investment Activities
Net cash used for investment activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 amounted to approximately $2,449,000 amd $172,000. The increase in cash used for investments activities of approximately $2,327,000 was mainly due to the increase in acquisition of fixed and intangible assets.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 amounted to approximately $2,889,000. Net cash used for financing activities amounted to $98,000. This represents an increase of approximately $2,987,000 which was primarily due to the net increase in new borrowings.
Future cash commitments
In order to improve our performance and competitiveness, we are constructing our Heze fertilizer plant and are preparing to expand our Thiophene product line. We have already invested a total of $4,735,000 into our Heze plant through September 30, 2010. However, an additional $18,965,000 is needed to complete the constructions and an additional $11,500,000 will be needed for the normal operation of the plant and Thiophene product line for the first 12 months of operation after its completion. Upon completion of the offering, we anticipate that we will have sufficient capital to meet our cash requirements for the completion of our Heze fertilizer plant and the expansion of our Thiophene product line.
On February 3, 2010, we issued promissory notes in the aggregate of $900,000 to certain accredited investors. The notes bear interest at 20% per annum and mature on August 3, 2010.

The investors may exercise the warrants on a cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the warrants are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement within one year from date of closing. In the event the Investors exercise the warrants on a cashless basis, then we will not receive any proceeds.
In early August 2010, the Company contacted each of the holders of the February 2010 Notes in order to request an extension of the Maturity Date. On August 3, 2010, holders of an aggregate of $200,000 of the February 2010 Notes entered into an agreement with the Company pursuant to which the maturity date of the February 2010 Notes held by such persons have been extended until the earlier of (i) December 1, 2010 or (ii) 5 business days after the closing of a public offering of our equity and/or debt securities (the “New Maturity Date”).

While we have interest bearing loans in the aggregate principal amount of $1,799,000 which come due on or before December 31, 2010, we believe that we have sufficient cash on our balance sheet and will have sufficient cash from operations to repay all indebtedness when it becomes due during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. Furthermore, it is standard practice in China for financial institutions loans to rollover loans on the same terms as opposed to entering into long-term credit arrangements. In the past we have not experienced any problems in rolling over any of our short term loans. However, if the banks we currently dealing should decide not to roll over our loans and we do not have sufficient cash from operations or on our balance sheet to repay such indebtedness, we may need to seek funding for our capital needs th rough the issuance of debt, preferred stock, equity, loan guarantees, or a combination of these types of instruments. While we do not anticipate the need to raise any additional capital at this time, to the extent we do need to raise capital in the future, we cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. In such case, we may be required to curtail or cease operations, liquidate or sell assets, modify our current plans for product development, and other research and development activities, or extend the time frame over which these activities will take place, or pursue other actions that would adversely affect future operations.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Contractual Obligations
We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
The following tables summarize our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2010 and the effect these obligations is expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as stockholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We produce and sell almost all of our products in China. Thus, most of our revenues and operating results may be impacted by exchange rate fluctuations between RMB and US dollars.
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 with US GAAP. 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.
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.
Impairment test of assets
The Company determines whether an asset is impaired at least on annual basis or where an indication of impairment exists. 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. This requires an estimation of the expected future cash flows from the assets.
Allowance of bad and doubtful debts .
The provisioning policy for bad and doubtful debts of the Company is based on the evaluation of collectability and aging 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.
Management reviews an aging 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 Company carries out an inventory review on a product-by-product basis at each balance sheet date and makes allowances for obsolete items.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, amending Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value”, to add new requirements for separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It amends ASC Topic 820 that a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. This update provides clarification that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trade should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance or service condition. Therefore, the award would be classified as an equity award if it otherwise qualifies as equity.
ASU No. 2010-06, the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. ASU No. 2010-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The management are in the process of assessing the possible impact on the future adoption of these ASU, but are not yet in a position to reasonably estimate their impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, “Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing in Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses”, which will require the Company to expand disclosures about the credit quality of the Company’s financing receivables and its allowance for credit losses on a disaggregated basis. This ASU will also require the Company to disclose additional information related to credit quality indicators, nonaccrual and past due information, and information related to impaired loans and loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring. The provisions of this ASU are effective for the Company’s reporting period ending December 31, 2010. As this ASU amends only the disclosure requirements for financing receivables and its allowance for credit losses, the adoption will have no impact on the Company’s results of financial position.
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 disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures 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.
As of September 30, 2010, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified for each report and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar f unctions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010 identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Controls
Management does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures or the Company's internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure cont rols and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.

In consideration for the extension of the Maturity Date to the New Maturity Date, we agreed to provide these holders of the February 2010 Notes with the following consideration:
