Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

| |
| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| |
2. | Basis of presentations |
| |
| The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2011 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, 2011 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, 2011 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. |

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| Recently issued accounting pronouncements |
| In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) (“ASU 2011-05”)”. ASU 2011-04 amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements to ensure that fair value has the same meaning in U.S. GAAP and in IFRSs and that their respective fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are the same. ASU 2011-04 is effective for public entities during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption by public entities is not permitted. The Company believes that the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operation and financial condition. In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” (“ASU 2011-05”) which amends current comprehensive income guidance. This accounting update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. Instead, the reporting entity must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for public companies during the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company believes that the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operation and financial condition. In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (ASC Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment,” (“ASU 2011-08”) which simplifies how entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. The amendments in the Update permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. Under the amendments in this Update, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments also improve previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Also, the amendments improve the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to measure an impairment loss, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. The Company believes that the adoption of ASU 2011-08 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operation and financial condition. |

3. | EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE |
| Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed similar to basic earnings per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of dilutive common stock equivalents. |
| |
| Earnings per common shares was computed as follows: |
| | Nine months ended September 30, 2011 | | | Three months ended September 30, 2011 | |
| | Income | | | Weighted average number of common shares outstanding | | | Per common share amount | | | Income | | | Weighted average number of common shares outstanding | | | Per common share amount | |
| | US$’000 | | | | | | US$ | | | US$’000 | | | | | | US$ | |
Basic earnings per common share | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Net income attributable to common stockholders | | | 5,639 | | | | 20,343,574 | | | | 0.28 | | | | 1,154 | | | | 20,509,123 | | | | 0.06 | |
For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, all potentially dilutive instruments have an anti-dilutive effect. Accordingly, the basic and diluted earnings per common stock are the same.

In this connection, both Changda Fertilizer and Changda Chemical are entitled to receive the whole amount of Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) payable for its first two profitable years of operation starting from 2006 and followed by an entitlement to receive 50% of EIT payable for the following three years. The exemption is not applicable upon the successful listing of any holding company vehicle in overseas stock market. |
| |
| On December 29, 2008, Changda Chemical was approved as a high-tech enterprise and ceased to enjoy the special tax exemption. Tax rate for an approved high-tech enterprise is 15%. Taxation has been estimated based on the assessable profit for the each of years at a rate of 15%. |

| |
| For accounting purpose, taxation has been estimated based on the assessable profit for the period at a rate of 33% in 2007 for both Changda Fertilizer and Changda Chemical and at a rate of 25% according to the EIT Law effective in 2008 of the PRC for Changda Fertilizer.

However, a special tax exemption has been granted by the local government and 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, 2011, the Company has not recorded any withholding tax on the retained earnings of its foreign invested enterprises in the PRC. |

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 statements 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, 2011 and 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.
As of September 30, 2011and 2010, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits or accruals for the potential payment or interest and penalties. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income tax expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, no interest or penalties were recorded.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
10. | PROMISSORY NOTES (CONTINUED) |
The fair value of the modified PN Warrants was estimated as US$0.11 per warrant and the weighted average fair value of the original PN Warrants was estimated as US$0.02 per warrant at the date of modification using the Black-Scholes model together with the following assumptions:
Expected volatility | 26% | | |
Expected dividend | Nil | | |
Expected life | 1.5 years | | |
Risk-free interest rate | 1.59% | | |
Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company's stock price over a period commensurates with the expected life of the warrants as well as other factors. The expected dividend which is assumed to be zero, as the Company has not paid cash dividends to date and does not currently expect to pay cash dividends. The expected life of warrants represents the estimated period of time from the date of modification that the warrant is expected to remain outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life at the time of grant.
The excess of the fair value of the modified PN Warrants over the original PN Warrants of US$142,304 was recorded as other finance costs.
During the three months and nine months periods ended September 30, 2011, no PN Warrant has been exercised. There are 1,355,357 PN Warrants with weighted average exercise price of US$0.70 and remaining life of 1.25 years outstanding and exercisable as of September 30, 2011. While as of December 31, 2010, there were 495,000 PN Warrants with weighted average exercise price of US$1.92 and remaining life of 2 years outstanding.

Additional information relating to the Company can be found on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.
Historical Overview
On February 13, 2009, we completed a “reverse acquisition” transaction pursuant to which the stockholders of Changda International Ltd. (“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 transaction. 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, 2011, 68.5% of our revenues ($12.0 million) were derived from our fertilizer products and 31.5% of our revenues ($5.6 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 and de-icing salt. 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 78th Fertilizer Industry Association Annual Conference on Fertilizer Outlook 2010 - 2014 made in Paris, France in June 2010, as management believed, the trend stopped and prices began to increase in 2010 as the demand for fertilizer products increased. Average sales prices of fertilizers increased during the second quarter of 2011 compared to those during 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 our fertilizer products. The peak selling seasons for our chemical products have been typically the first and fourth quarters of the year, which are the winter season in China when there is 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 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 substantially on the same terms and expire on December 31, 2011. 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 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, 2011, our top ten selling fertilizers were as follows:
Ranking | | Products | | Type of Fertilizer | | Revenues (US$) | | | Percent in total Revenues of our Fertilizer Products | |

Operating Revenues
Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of approximately $17,547,000 increased approximately $225,000 or 1.3% from approximately $17,322,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Chemical sales volume for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of approximately 1,168 tonnes represent an overall decrease of approximately 5,250 tonnes or 81.8% from sales volume of approximately 6,418 tonnes for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The decrease is accounted for mainly by the decrease in the sales of calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, snow melting agent, and thiopene, partially offset by the 30% increase in the sales volume of flame retardant. Sales of chemical products increased by approximately $2,164,000 or 64.2% despite the decrease in the overall volume mainly due to (1) the concurrent increase in the volume of sales and average selling price of the flame retardant product as a consequence of the strong demand for the new product, which has a high sales price per tonne, and (2) the increase in the average selling price of thiophene by approximately 28.6%. The average sales price of flame retardant increased approximately 90.6%, due to increasing demand for the product, resulting from the implementation of the "Fire Prevention Law of The People's Republic of China" and the government standards set by “Requirements and Mark on Burning Behavior of Fire Retarding Products and Subassemblies in Public Place” by various industries as well as our increased marketing efforts to promote the product. Fertilizer sales volume for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of approximately 29,055 tonnes represents a decrease of approximately 13,308 tonnes or 31.4% from sales volume of approximately 42,363 tonnes for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Sales of fertilizer products decreased by approximately $1,939,000 or 13.9% due primarily to the decrease in sales volume typical during harvest season, inspite of the increase in average sales price of the best-selling products.
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of approximately $74,511,000 increased approximately $13,394,000 or 21.9% from approximately $61,117,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Chemical sales volume for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of approximately 36,408 tonnes represent a decrease of approximately 7,024 tonnes or 16.2% from the sales volume of approximately 43,432 tonnes for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Sales of chemical products increased by approximately $6,366,000 or 72.7% mainly due to the concurrent increase in the volume of sales and average selling price of flame retardant product as a consequence of a strong demand for the new product, which has a high sales price per tonne, offseting the effect of reduced sales volume of other major chemical products, such as calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, de-icing salt, and thiophene. Fertilizer sales volume for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of approximately 153,102 tonnes represents a decrease of approximately 11,439 tonnes or 7% from sales volume of approximately 164,541 tonnes for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Sales of fertilizer products increased by approximately $7,028,000 or 13.4% due primarily to increase in average sales price of the best-selling products, such as Specialty Fertilizer, Organic and inorganic fertilizer (bio) 15-7-8, Compound Fertilizer (biological) 12-5-8, Silicon calcium and magnesium soil conditioner 8-6-10-5-15, new type of compound fertilizer (slow release) 16-8-16, New compound fertilizer (slow release) 18-9-18, Silicon calcium and magnesium soil conditioner 10-5-20, and New Compound chat (release) 24-8-8, which offset the decrease in the sales volume.
Cost of Sales
Total cost of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $14,435,000 or 82.3% of operating revenues compared to approximately $14,337,000 or 82.8% of operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Chemical products cost of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $4,243,000 or 76.7% of chemical operating revenues. Chemical products cost of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $2,611,000 or 77.5% of chemical operating revenues. The increase in the cost of sales of chemical products of approximately $1,632,000 resulted primarily from the increase in sales volume as well as the increase in the cost of production related to the Company's new flame retardant product. Fertilizer products cost of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $10,192,000 or 84.8% of fertilizer operating revenues. Fertilizer products cost of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $11,726,000 or 84% of fertilizer operating revenues. The decrease in cost of sales for fertilizer products of approximately $1,534,000 resulted primarily from the decrease in sales volume.

The increase in net income was largely due to the increase in operating revenues and gross profit. For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, income taxes increased consequent to the increase in net income and total finance and interest cost increased pursuant to the increase in short-term borrowings for working capital requirements. The income after the operating expenses covered the increase in income tax and interest expense and still resulted in a higher net income compared to the same period in 2010. Net income as a percentage of operating revenues approximated 6.6% and 7.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Our net income was approximately $5,639,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and approximately $3,800,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 amounted to approximately $5,188,000 and $6,999,000, respectively. The decrease of approximately $1,811,000 was primarily due to the increase in inventory purchases.
As in December 2009 when management decided that in order to limit the risks of exposure to market volatility and sudden price increases, 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 with prepayment deposit for substantial delivery of the materials during the first quarter of 2010, management continued to make prepayment deposits for raw materials in 2011 and 2010 as the return on the investment has been beneficial to the company in terms of hedging against raw material price increases.
Investment Activities
Net cash used for investment activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 amounted to approximately $10,347,000 and $2,449,000, respectively. This increase of approximately $7,898,000 was mainly due to the increase in acquisition of fixed assets and in placing cash on a restricted category in 2011.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 amounted to approximately $8,867,000 and $2,889,000, respectively. This represents an increase of approximately $5,978,000 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 $7,506,000 into our Heze plant through September 30, 2011. However, an additional $13,104,000 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 after its completion.
To strengthen our financial position, we intend to seek additional funding to be used for general corporate purposes, as well as research and development activities, including advancing our current product development activities and construction of the Heze Plant. We intend to seek funding for our capital needs through the issuance of debt, preferred stock, equity, loan guarantees, or a combination of these types of instruments. We may also seek to obtain financing through private placement or a public offering, a consequence of which could include the sale or issuance of stock to third parties. We expect that we will be able to secure sufficient financing to satisfy our anticipated cash requirements for normal operations and capital expenditures through at least December 31, 2011, although current economic and market conditions will make it challenging for us to do so.
We cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are not able to raise additional capital, we will not have sufficient cash to fund our operations. In such case, we could 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.
On February 3, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with six purchasers pursuant to which the purchasers purchased promissory notes in the aggregate amount of US$900,000 (“February 2010 Notes”).

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. The fair value of the PN Warrants was estimated as $0.90 per warrant at the date of issuance using Black-Scholes model. On February 18, 2011 and February 25, 2011, the Company made payments to the holders of the February 2010 Notes totaling an aggregate of US$600,000 (the "Note Repayment"). This Note Repayment covered all remaining principal and accrued but unpaid interest due and payable under the February 2010 Notes, as a result of which the February 2010 Notes have been repaid in full.

The shares were issued pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company has repaid all principal and interest due and payable under the February 2010 Notes. All remaining amounts owed with respect to the February 2010 Notes were settled in April 2011, including all amounts of attorneys fees incurred in connection with the prior collection efforts by certain noteholders. On June 13, 2011, the date of modification, the Company reduced the exercise price of all the PN Warrants to US$0.70 per warrant and increased the total number of PN Warrants from 495,000 to 1,355,357. |
The fair value of the modified PN Warrants was estimated as US$0.11 per warrant and weighted average fair value of the original PN Warrant was estimated as US$0.02 per warrant at the date of modification using the Black- Scholes model together with the following assumptions: |
| 26% | |
Expected dividends | Nil | |
Expected life | 1.5 years | |
Risk-free interest rate | 1.59% | |

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 through the issuance of debt, preferred stock, equity, loan guarantees, or a combination of these types of instruments.

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
We determine 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 May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) (“ASU 2011-05”)”. ASU 2011-04 amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements to ensure that fair value has the same meaning in U.S. GAAP and in IFRSs and that their respective fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are the same. ASU 2011-04 is effective for public entities during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption by public entities is not permitted. The Company believes that the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operation and financial condition.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” (“ASU 2011-05”) which amends current comprehensive income guidance. This accounting update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. Instead, the reporting entity must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for public companies during the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company believes that the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operation and financial condition.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (ASC Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment,” (“ASU 2011-08”) which simplifies how entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. The amendments in the Update permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. Under the amendments in this Update, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments also improve previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Also, the amendments improve the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to measure an impairment loss, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. The Company believes that the adoption of ASU 2011-08 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operation and financial condition.
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. 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, 2011, 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 functions, 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 September 30, 2011 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 controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.
