NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
China Electric Motor, Inc. (“China Electric”, formerly SRKP 21, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 11, 2007. China Electric was originally organized as a “blank check” shell company to investigate and acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. On May 6, 2009, China Electric (i) closed a share exchange transaction pursuant to which SRKP 21 became the 100% parent of Attainment Holdings Limited (“Attainment”), (ii) assumed the operations of Attainment and its subsidiaries, including Luck Loyal International Investment Limited ("Luck Loyal") and Shenzhen YuePengCheng Motor Co., Ltd (“YuePengCheng”), and (iii) changed its name from SRKP 21, Inc. to China Electric Motor, Inc.
Attainment is a holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) on July 28, 2008. Attainment had 50,000 capital shares authorized with $1.00 par value and one share issued and outstanding. The sole shareholder of Attainment was Excel Profit Global Group Limited (“Excel Profit”), which in turn solely owned by Mr. To Chau Sum, a Hong Kong citizen.
Luck Loyal is a holding company incorporated in Hong Kong (“HK”) on October 15, 2004. Luck Loyal had 10,000 shares authorized with one Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”) par value and one share issued and outstanding. The sole shareholder of Luck Loyal is Attainment.
YuePengCheng was incorporated in the City of Shenzhen of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on November 19, 1999. YuePengCheng mainly engages in production, marketing, sales and research and development of specialized micro-motor products for the domestic and international market.
Shenzhen YuePengDa Development Enterprises (“YuePengDa”), a company owned by the son of Ms. Jianrong Li, a director of YuePengCheng and Luck Loyal (the “Director”), and Taiwan Qiling Shashi Enterprises (“Qiling”), a company owned by a relative of the Director, were the original owners of YuePengCheng and held 75% and 25% of the total interest of YuePengCheng, respectively.
In November 2007, the Director caused Luck Loyal to enter into an ownership transfer agreement with Qiling. Pursuant to the agreement, Qiling transferred its 25% interest in YuePengCheng to Luck Loyal at a price of Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) 2.5 million. In September 2008, in order to implement a capital restructuring program, the Director had Luck Loyal acquire the remaining 75% ownership of YuePengCheng from YuePengDa under an ownership transfer agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, Luck Loyal paid YuePengDa RMB 7.5 million for the ownership transfer. Thereafter, Luck Loyal became the sole owner of YuePengCheng. Since these transactions were effected by parties under common control, the Company accounted for them as similar to a pooling of interest transaction, with a retroactive reduction in additional paid-in capital for the payments to the former owner, and the recording of a corresponding liability.
The Director agreed to convert the debts owed to her of RMB 7.5 million and RMB 2.5 million (approximately $1.3 million) into shares of the Company’s common stock on the effective date of the public offering, with the conversion price to be equal to the per share price of the shares sold in the Company’s public offering.
For accounting purpose, this transaction is being accounted as business combination of entities under common control and the historical financial statements include the operations of YuePengCheng for all periods presented.
China Electric and its subsidiaries – Attainment, Luck Loyal and YuePengCheng are collectively referred throughout as the “Company.”

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION (continued)
To summarize the paragraphs above, the organization and ownership structure of the Company is currently as follows:
Share Exchange
On March 3, 2009, China Electric Motor, Inc. (the “Company”) (formerly known as “SRKP 21, Inc.”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Attainment Holdings, Excel Profit as the sole shareholder of Attainment Holdings, and as to certain portions of the agreement, certain designees. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, as it was amended on May 6, 2009 (the “Exchange Agreement”), SRKP 21 agreed to issue an aggregate of 10,679,260 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding securities of Attainment Holdings (the “Share Exchange”). The Share Exchange closed on May 6, 2009. The 10,679,260 shares of common stock issued to the stock holders of Attainment in conjunction with the share exchange transaction have been presented as outstanding for all periods.
Upon the closing of the Share Exchange, the Company issued an aggregate of 10,679,260 shares of its common stock to Excel Profit and the designees in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding securities of Attainment Holdings. Prior to the closing of the Share Exchange, the stockholders of the Company canceled an aggregate of 3,260,659 shares held by them such that there were 1,352,003 shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Share Exchange. The Company’s stockholders also canceled an aggregate of 3,985,768 warrants to purchase shares of common stock such that the stockholders held an aggregate of 626,894 warrants immediately after the Share Exchange. Immediately after the closing of the Share Exchange, the Company had 12,031,263 outstanding shares of common stock, no shares of Preferred Stock, no options, and warrants to purchase 626,894 shares of common stock.
For accounting purposes, this transaction is being accounted for as a reverse merger. The transaction has been treated as a recapitalization of Attainment Holdings and its subsidiaries, with China Electric Motor (the legal acquirer of Attainment and its subsidiaries including YuePengCheng) considered the accounting acquiree and YuePengCheng , the only operating company, and whose management took control of China Electric Motor (the legal acquiree of YuePengCheng) is considered the accounting acquirer. The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the transaction. The 10,679,260 shares of common stock issued to the shareholder of Attainment and its designees in conjunction with the share exchange transaction have been presented as outstanding for all periods. The 10,679,260 shares of common stock issued to the stockholders of Attainment in conjunction with the share exchange transaction have been presented as outstanding for all periods. The historical consolidated financial statements include the operations of the accounting acquirer for all periods presented.
On October 8, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a 1-for-1.5384615 reverse stock split of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). References to shares in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, including, but not limited to, the number of shares and per share amounts, have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split on a retroactive basis.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. | Basis of Preparation |
The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation SX. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2008 and notes thereto contained in the Registration Statement on Form S-1/A of the Company as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 19, 2009. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
The parent only financial statements reflect nominal assets and operations consistent with the disclosure that all assets and operations are conducted in China, and that the only significant transactions at the parent level are capital transactions, intercompany transactions, and equity accounting transactions to account for the parent’s 100% ownership of its operations in China. See the Registration Statement on Form S-1/A of the Company as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 19, 2009 for further information.
In the opinion of the management, the interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods.
b. | Basis of Consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
c. | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.
d. | Fair Values of Financial Instruments |
US GAAP requires certain disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments. The Company defines fair value, using the required three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement the enhanced disclosures requirements for fair value measures. Current assets and current liabilities qualified as financial instruments and management believes their carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and if applicable, their current interest rate is equivalent to interest rates currently available. The three levels are defined as follows:
· | Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | |
· | Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. | |
· | Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. |
As of the balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented due to the short maturities of these instruments and that the interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective period-ends. Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates the hierarchy disclosures each quarter.

e. | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits with banks and liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
f. | Accounts Receivable |
Accounts receivables are recognized and carried at original invoiced amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed.
The Company uses an aging method to estimate the valuation allowance for anticipated uncollectible receivable balances. Under the aging method, bad debts percentages determined by management based on historical experience as well as current economic climate are applied to customers’ balances categorized by the number of months the underlying invoices have remained outstanding. The valuation allowance balance is adjusted to the amount computed as a result of the aging method. When facts subsequently become available to indicate that the amount provided as the allowance was incorrect, an adjustment, classified as a change in estimate, is made.
g. | Inventories |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, as determined on a weighted average basis, or market. Costs of inventories include purchase and related costs incurred in bringing the products to their present location and condition. Market value is determined by reference to selling prices after the balance sheet date or to management’s estimates based on prevailing market conditions. The management writes down the inventories to market value if it is below cost. The management also regularly evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine if valuation allowance is required.
h. | Property and Equipment |
Property and equipment are initially recognized and recorded at cost. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the period of disposal. The cost of improvements that extend the life of plant and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment and fixtures. All ordinary repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets at cost less 5% for salvage value:
Building | 46 years |
Machinery and Equipment | 5 ~ 25 years |
Office and Other Equipment | 5 ~ 10 years |
i. | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
The Company accounts for impairment of plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets in accordance with the standard of “Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of”, which requires the Company to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability when there is event or circumstance that indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable (when carrying amount exceeds the gross, undiscounted cash flows from use and disposition) and is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over the asset’s (or asset group’s) fair value.
j. | Comprehensive Income |
The Company reports Comprehensive Income, its components, and accumulated balances in its financial statements. Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the accumulated balance of foreign currency translation adjustments. No other items of comprehensive income are present.

k. | Revenue Recognition |
The Company generates revenues from the sales of micro-motor products. The Company recognizes revenue net of value added tax (VAT) when the earnings process is complete, as evidenced by an agreement with the customer, transfer of title, acceptance of ownership and assumption of risk of loss by the customer, as well as predetermined fixed pricing, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and collection of the relevant receivable is probable. The Company includes shipping charges billed to customers in net revenue, and includes the related shipping costs in cost of sales. No return allowance is made as products returns are insignificant based on historical experience.
The Company does not provide different policies in terms warranties, credits, discounts, rebates, price protection, or similar privileges among customers. Orders are placed by both the distributors and OEMs and the products are delivered to the customers within 30-45 days of order, the Company does not provide price protection or right of return to the customers. The price of the products are predetermined and fixed based on contractual agreements, therefore the customers would be responsible for any loss if the customers are faced with sales price reductions and rapid technology obsolescence in the industry. The Company does not allow any discounts, credits, rebates or similar privileges.
The Company warrants the products sold to all customers for up to 1 year from the date the products leave the Company’s factory, under which the Company will pay for labor and parts, or offer a new or similar unit in exchange for a non-performing unit due to defects in material or workmanship. The customers may also return products for a variety of reasons, such as damage to goods in transit, cosmetic imperfections and mechanical failures, if within the warranty period. There is no allowance for warranty on the products sales as historical costs incurred for warranty replacements and repairs have been insignificant.
l. | Research and Development Costs |
Research and development costs are expensed to operations as incurred. The Company spent $476,124 and $275,479 in the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $1,264,119 and $703,201 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, on direct research and development efforts.
m. | Income Taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) which requires the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
The Company follows the requirements of US GAAP in Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which requires a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return (including a decision whether to file or not file to file a return in a particular jurisdiction).
n. | Advertising Costs |
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. The Company incurred $133,510 and $97,606 in the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $417,020 and $276,909 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, on advertising expenses.

o. | Foreign Currency Translation |
The functional currency of Attainment and Luck Loyal is the Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”). They maintain their financial statements using the functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the respective periods.
The functional currency of YuePengCheng is the Renminbi (“RMB”), the PRC’s currency. It maintains its financial statements using its own functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the respective periods.
For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of Attainment and Luck Loyal, which are prepared in HKD, are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, United States Dollars (“USD”); the financial statements of YuePengCheng, which are prepared in RMB, are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, USD. Balance sheet accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense accounts are translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholder’s equity.
The exchange rates used for foreign currency translation were as follows (USD$1 = RMB):
Period Covered | Balance Sheet Date Rates | Average Rates | ||||||
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 | 6.81756 | 6.82174 | ||||||

p. | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a standard that established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) and amended the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles (ASC) and amended the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) such that the ASC became the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The ASC did not change current U.S. GAAP, but was intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All previously existing accounting standard documents were superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the ASC is considered non-authoritative. New accounting standards issued subsequent to June 30, 2009 are communicated by the FASB through Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs). The Company adopted the ASC on July 1, 2009. This standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition. However, throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements references that were previously made to various former authoritative U.S. GAAP pronouncements have been changed to coincide with the appropriate section of the ASC.

q. | Recently issued accounting pronouncements (continued) |
In September 2006, the FASB issued an accounting standard codified in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This standard established a single definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value, set out a fair value hierarchy to be used to classify the source of information used in fair value measurements, and required disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on their level in the hierarchy. This standard applies under other accounting standards that require or permit fair value measurements. One of the amendments deferred the effective date for one year relative to nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, but are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. This deferral applied to such items as nonfinancial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in a business combination (but not measured at fair value in subsequent periods) or nonfinancial long-lived asset groups measured at fair value for an impairment assessment. The adoption of the fair value measurement standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In December 2007, the FASB issued and, in April 2009, amended a new business combinations standard codified within ASC 805, which changed the accounting for business acquisitions. Accounting for business combinations under this standard requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction and establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Certain provisions of this standard impact the determination of acquisition-date fair value of consideration paid in a business combination (including contingent consideration); exclude transaction costs from acquisition accounting; and change accounting practices for acquisition-related restructuring costs, in-process research and development, indemnification assets, and tax benefits. The Company adopted the standard for business combinations for its business combination during the period ended June 30, 2009.
In April 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard which provides guidance on (1) estimating the fair value of an asset or liability when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly declined and (2) identifying transactions that are not orderly. The standard also amended certain disclosure provisions for fair value measurements and disclosures in ASC 820 to require, among other things, disclosures in interim periods of the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value as well as disclosure of the hierarchy of the source of underlying fair value information on a disaggregated basis by specific major category of investment. The standard was effective prospectively beginning April 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In April 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard which modifies the requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and changes the existing impairment model for such securities. The standard also requires additional disclosures for both annual and interim periods with respect to both debt and equity securities. Under the standard, impairment of debt securities will be considered other-than-temporary if an entity (1) intends to sell the security, (2) more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovering its cost, or (3) does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis (even if the entity does not intend to sell). The standard further indicates that, depending on which of the above factor(s) causes the impairment to be considered other-than-temporary, (1) the entire shortfall of the security’s fair value versus its amortized cost basis or (2) only the credit loss portion would be recognized in earnings while the remaining shortfall (if any) would be recorded in other comprehensive income. The standard requires entities to initially apply its provisions to previously other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities existing as of the date of initial adoption by making a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The cumulative-effect adjustment potentially reclassifies the noncredit portion of a previously other-than-temporarily impaired debt security held as of the date of initial adoption from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In April 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard regarding interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments. The standard essentially expands the disclosure about fair value of financial instruments that were previously required only annually to also be required for interim period reporting. In addition, the standard requires certain additional disclosures regarding the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

q. | Recently issued accounting pronouncements (continued) |
In May 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard regarding subsequent events. This standard incorporates into authoritative accounting literature certain guidance that already existed within generally accepted auditing standards, with the requirements concerning recognition and disclosure of subsequent events remaining essentially unchanged. This guidance addresses events which occur after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of financial statements. Under the new standard, as under previous practice, an entity must record the effects of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date and must disclose but not record the effects of subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date. This standard added an additional required disclosure relative to the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and whether that is the date on which the financial statements were issued. For the Company, this standard was effective beginning April 1, 2009.
In June 2009, the FASB issued a new standard regarding the accounting for transfers of financial assets amending the existing guidance on transfers of financial assets to, among other things, eliminate the qualifying special-purpose entity concept, include a new unit of account definition that must be met for transfers of portions of financial assets to be eligible for sale accounting, clarify and change the derecognition criteria for a transfer to be accounted for as a sale, and require significant additional disclosure. The standard is effective for new transfers of financial assets beginning January 1, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard that revised the consolidation guidance for variable-interest entities. The modifications include the elimination of the exemption for qualifying special purpose entities, a new approach for determining who should consolidate a variable-interest entity, and changes to when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a variable-interest entity. The standard is effective January 1, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on how companies should measure liabilities at fair value under ASC 820. The ASU clarifies that the quoted price for an identical liability should be used. However, if such information is not available, a entity may use, the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities traded as assets, or another valuation technique (such as the market or income approach). The ASU also indicates that the fair value of a liability is not adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its transfer and indicates circumstances in which quoted prices for an identical liability or quoted price for an identical liability traded as an asset may be considered level 1 fair value. This ASU is effective October 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, that provides amendments to the criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. As a result of these amendments, multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements will be separated in more circumstances than under existing U.S. GAAP. The ASU does this by establishing a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence is available. A vendor will be required to determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. This ASU also eliminates the residual method of allocation and will require that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any discount in the overall arrangement proportionally to each deliverable based on its relative selling price. Expanded disclosures of qualitative and quantitative information regarding application of the multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement guidance are also required under the ASU. The ASU does not apply to arrangements for which industry specific allocation and measurement guidance exists, such as long-term construction contracts and software transactions. The ASU is effective beginning January 1, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, that reduces the types of transactions that fall within the current scope of software revenue recognition guidance. Existing software revenue recognition guidance requires that its provisions be applied to an entire arrangement when the sale of any products or services containing or utilizing software when the software is considered more than incidental to the product or service. As a result of the amendments included in ASU No. 2009-14, many tangible products and services that rely on software will be accounted for under the multiple-element arrangements revenue recognition guidance rather than under the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the ASU, the following components would be excluded from the scope of software revenue recognition guidance: the tangible element of the product, software products bundled with tangible products where the software components and non-software components function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality, and undelivered components that relate to software that is essential to the tangible product’s functionality. The ASU also provides guidance on how to allocate transaction consideration when an arrangement contains both deliverables within the scope of software revenue guidance (software deliverables) and deliverables not within the scope of that guidance (non-software deliverables). The ASU is effective beginning January 1, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

NOTE 7 – STATUTORY RESERVES
As stipulated by the relevant laws and regulations for enterprises operating in PRC, the Company is required to make annual appropriations to a statutory surplus reserve fund. Specifically, the Company is required to allocate 10% of its profits after taxes, as determined in accordance with the PRC accounting standards applicable to the Company, to a statutory surplus reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of the registered capital of the Company.
NOTE 8 – INCOME TAX AND VARIOUS TAXES
Income Tax
The Company is registered and entitled as a “Hi-Tech Corporation” in the PRC. The Company has tax advantages granted by the local government for corporate income taxes and sales taxes. The Company is entitled to have a 50% reduction on the normal tax rate of 15% commencing year 2005 for the following three consecutive years. The Company’s tax advantages were abolished after the Enterprise Income Tax Law that took effect on January 1, 2008. The Company’s prior tax rate of 15% was changed to a rate of 18% in 2008.
The tax authority of the PRC Government conducts periodic and ad hoc tax filing reviews on business enterprises operating in the PRC after those enterprises had completed their relevant tax filings, hence the Company’s tax filings may not be finalized. It is therefore uncertain as to whether the PRC tax authority may take different views about the Company’s tax filings which may lead to additional tax liabilities.

Effective January 1, 2008, the new "Law of the People's Republic of China on Enterprise Income Tax" was implemented. The new law requires that:
(i) | For all resident enterprises, domestic or foreign, the Enterprise Income Tax rate is unified 25%. |
(ii) | Enterprises that are categorized as the "High Tech Enterprise" will have a reduced tax rate of 15%. |
(iii) | From January 1, 2008 onwards, enterprises that enjoyed a preferential tax rate before, will need to adopt the new law within the next five years. Specifically, enterprises with a current preferential tax rate of 15% for 2007, the tax rate will be 18%, 20%, 22%, 24%, and 25% for the years ended December 31 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. |
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
The Company follows the requirements of US GAAP in Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, as per ASC codification 740. The standard clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The standard also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
Based on the Company’s evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements.
The Company may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions. In the event it receives an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it will be classified in the financial statements as tax expense.

Country Risk
The Company has significant investments in the PRC. The operating results of the Company may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC and by changes in Chinese government policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. The Company can give no assurance that those changes in political and other conditions will not result in have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business and financial condition.
Concentration of Credit Risk
A significant portion of the Company’s cash is maintained at various financial institutions in the PRC which do not provide insurance for amounts on deposit. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk in this area.
The Company operates principally in the PRC and grants credit to its customers in this geographic region. Although the PRC is economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the Company’s operations.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, two customers accounted for 10% and 10% of total sales, respectively. At September 30, 2009, these two customers accounted for 13%, and 21% of accounts receivable, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, three customers accounted for 11%, 10% and 10% of total sales, respectively. At December 31, 2008, these three customers accounted for 11%, 9%, and 10% of accounts receivable, respectively.
Supply Risk
The suppliers for the Company's key raw materials are located in China. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, three suppliers accounted for 13%, 12% and 10% of the Company's total purchases, respectively. At September 30, 2009, these suppliers accounted for 14%, 14% and 0% of accounts payable, respectively.

NOTE 11– SEGMENT INFORMATION AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
The Company has not segregated business units for managing different products and services that the Company has been carrying and selling on the market. The assets and resources of the Company have been utilized, on a corporate basis, for overall operations of the Company. The Company has not segregated its operating assets by segments as it is impracticable to do so since the same assets are used to produce products as one segment.
The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. Management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by monthly revenue (but not by sub-product type or geographic area) and operating results of the Company and, as such, the Company has determined that the Company has one operating segment as defined by the standard “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” within ASC codification 280.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion relates to a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of China Electric Motor, Inc. (“China Electric”), China Electric’s wholly-owned subsidiary Attainment Holdings Limited (“Attainment Holdings”), and Attainment Holdings’ wholly-owned subsidiary Shenzhen YuePengCheng Motor Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen YPC”) (collectively referred to throughout as the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us”).
This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with its financial statements and the related notes, and the other financial information included in this report. .”
Forward-Looking Statements
This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes, and the other financial information included in this Quarterly Report.
The information contained in this report includes some statements that are not purely historical and that are “forward-looking statements” as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding our future financial position, capital expenditures, cash flows, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipated,” “believe,” “expect, “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “estimate,” “project,” “could,” “may,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our management’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance and involve risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the current economic downturn adversely affecting demand for the our products; our reliance on our major customers for a large portion of our net sales; our ability to develop and market new products; our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations; our ability to accurately forecast amounts of supplies needed to meet customer demand; market acceptance of our products; exposure to product liability and defect claims; fluctuations in the availability of raw materials and components needed for our products; protection of our intellectual property rights; changes in the laws of the PRC that affect our operations; inflation and fluctuations in foreign currency rates and various other matters, many of which are beyond our control. Actual results may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, believed, estimated or otherwise indicated should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur or if any of the risks or uncertainties described in elsewhere in this report occur. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this filing are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance of the actual results or developments.
Overview
Through Shenzhen YPC, we engage in the design, production, marketing and sale of micro-motor products. Our products, which are incorporated into household appliances, vehicles and other consumer devices are sold under our “Sunna” brand name.
We sell our products directly to original equipment manufacturers and to distributors and resellers. We do not have any long-term sales contract with any of our customers. As a result it is necessary for us to estimate, based in part on non-binding estimates by our customers and potential customers, the requirements for our products. In addition, in some instances, we develop products based on anticipated customer demand with no assurance that we will receive the anticipated orders. To the extent that we do not receive the anticipated orders or that our customers require products in greater quantities than anticipated, our revenue and margins will be affected.
Recent Events
On March 3, 2009, we entered into a share exchange agreement, with Attainment Holdings, Attainment Holdings’ sole shareholder Excel Profit Global Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation (“Excel Profit”), and as to certain portions of the agreement, certain designees, pursuant to which Excel Profit would transfer all of the issued and outstanding securities of Attainment Holdings to us in exchange for 11,069,260 shares of our common stock. The parties amended the share exchange agreement on May 6, 2009. On May 6, 2009, the Share Exchange closed and Attainment Holdings became our wholly-owned subsidiary. We also changed our name to “China Electric Motor, Inc.” A total of 10,679,260 shares were issued to the former sole shareholder of Attainment Holdings and the designees.
We paid an aggregate of $600,000 in connection with the Share Exchange, consisting of $350,000 to WestPark Capital, Inc., the placement agent in the private placement described below, and $250,000 to a third party unaffiliated with the Company, Attainment Holdings or WestPark Capital. In addition, we paid WestPark Capital a success fee of $140,000 for the Share Exchange and a due diligence fee of $80,000.
23
On May 6, 2009, we received gross proceeds of approximately $665,000 in an initial closing of a private placement transaction. Pursuant to subscription agreements entered into with the investors, we sold an aggregate of 320,186 shares of Common Stock at $2.08 per share. On June 19, 2009, we conducted a second closing of the private placement, pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 208,868 shares of Common Stock at $2.08 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $433,800. On July 17, 2009, we conducted a third closing of the private placement, pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 272,342 shares of common stock at $2.08 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $565,625. On September 4, 2009, we conducted a fourth closing of the private placement pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 481,383 shares of Common Stock at $2.08 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $999,775. On October 6, 2009, we conducted the fifth and final closing of the private placement pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 768,988 shares of Common Stock at $2.08 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $1.6 million. Accordingly, we sold a total of 2,051,767 shares of our common stock in the private placement for total gross proceeds of $4.3 million (the “Private Placement”). In connection with the Private Placement, we paid WestPark Capital, the placement agent for the Private Placement, a commission equal to 8.5% of the gross proceeds from the Private Placement for aggregate fee of $362,000.
In connection with the initial closing of the Private Placement, Excel Profit Global Group Ltd., a stockholder of the Company, issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $335,000, bearing no interest, to Chen Dong on May 6, 2009 (the “Note”). The Company assumed the obligations under the Note as of the date of the Note’s issuance. Originally, the principal was due and payable by the Company on or before the earlier of (a) six months from the date of issuance of the Note or (b) upon the receipt by the Company after the date of the Note of at least $1 million in additional proceeds in the Private Placement, however, the noteholder agreed to extend the Company’s re-payment of the Note until the closing of the proposed firm commitment public offering (the “Public Offering”) of the Company’s comment stock which will occur concurrently with the Company’s proposed listing on the NASDAQ Global Market.
Jianrong Li, one of our directors, shall convert approximately $1.3 million owed to her by the Company as of the closing of the share exchange into shares of the Company’s common stock on the effective date of the Public Offering, the conversion price of such to be equal to the per share price of the shares sold in the Public Offering.
On October 8, 2009, our Board of Directors and our stockholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-1.53846153846154 reverse stock split of all of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). To effect the Reverse Stock Split, we will file the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of the State of Delaware, which will not be done sooner than 20 days after we mail an information statement on Schedule 14C to our stockholders. The Reverse Stock Split will occur immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s proposed firm public offering that we propose to complete in accordance with the registration statement on Form S-1 as filed with the SEC (File No. 333-162459), as the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock have provided their consent to such corporate action. The par value and number of authorized shares of our common stock will remain unchanged. All references to number of shares and per share amounts included in this Form 10-Q gives effect to the Reverse Stock Split. The number of shares and per share amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split retroactively. Unless otherwise indicated, all outstanding shares and earnings per share information contained in this Form 10-Q gives effect to the Reverse Stock Split.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The SEC defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management's view, most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and those that require significant judgments and estimates.
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Report requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, actuarial valuations and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While for any given estimate or assumption made by our management there may be other estimates or assumptions that are reasonable, we believe that, given the current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any such other reasonable estimate or assumption would materially impact the financial statements. The accounting principles we utilized in preparing our consolidated financial statements conform in all material respects to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
Accounts Receivable
We typically provide payment terms ranging from 30 to 45 days. We examine the creditworthiness of our customers prior to any transaction to limit our collection risk. We use estimates in determining our allowance for bad debts that are based on our historical collection experience, current trends, credit policy and a percentage of our accounts receivable by aging category. In determining these percentages, we review historical write-offs in our receivables. In determining the appropriate reserve percentages, we also review current trends in the credit quality of our customers, as well as changes in our internal credit policies.
24
We maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management review the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patters to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis. Additional allowances for doubtful accounts may be required if there is deterioration in past due balances, if economic conditions are less favorable than anticipated, or for customer-specific circumstances, such as financial difficulty.
Inventories
Inventory levels are based on projections of future demand and market conditions. Inventories are stated at cost, no in excess of market, using the weighted average cost method. Any sudden decline in demand and/or rapid product improvements and technological changes can result in excess and/or obsolete inventories. Because most of our products are customized and unique to a particular customer, there is a risk that we will forecast inventory needs incorrectly and purchase or produce excess inventory. As a result, actual demand may differ from forecasts, and such differences, if not managed, may have a material adverse effect on future results of operations due to required write-offs of excess or obsolete inventory. To mitigate such exposure, we require a binding purchase order or a signed agreement by our customer agreeing to pay for and take possession of finished goods inventory parts for the duration of the agreement.
On an ongoing basis, inventories are reviewed for potential write-down for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventories equal to the difference between the costs of inventories and the estimated net realizable value based upon forecasts for future demand and market conditions. To the extent that we increase our reserves for future period, operating income will be reduced.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenues net of value added tax (VAT) when the earnings process is complete, as evidenced by an agreement with the customer, transfer of title, and acceptance of ownership and assumption of risk of loss by the customer, as well as predetermined fixed pricing, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and collection of the relevant receivables is probable. We include shipping charges billed to customers in net revenue, and include the related shipping costs in cost of sales. No return allowance is made as products returns are insignificant based on historical experience.
We do not provide different policies in terms, warranties, credits, discounts, rebates, price protection, or similar privileges among customers. Orders are placed by both the distributors and OEMs and the products are delivered to the customers within 30-45 days of order; we do not provide price protection or right of return to customers. Product prices are predetermined and fixed based on contractual agreements and, therefore, customers would be responsible for any loss if they are faced with sales price reductions and technology obsolescence. We do not allow any discounts, credits, rebates or similar privileges.
We warrant our products for up to 1 year from the date the products leave our factory, under which we will pay for labor and parts, or offer a new or similar unit in exchange for a non-performing unit due to defects in material or workmanship. Customers may also return products for a variety of reasons, such as damage to goods in transit, cosmetic imperfections and mechanical failures, if within the warranty period. There is no allowance for warranty on the products sales as historical costs incurred for warranty replacements and repairs have been insignificant.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $22.1 million, an increase of 55.9%, compared to revenues of $14.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to a 69% increase in the number of micro-motor units sold during the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in revenues was partially offset by the mix of the types of products sold during the period. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, we sold more of our lower priced-products than our higher-priced products, which include our numerical control motor products.
Cost of goods sold consists of the cost of motor sales and other materials. Cost of goods sold was $15.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $5.4 million, or 52.8%, compared to $10.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. This increase was primarily due to an increase in our sales volume. As a percentage of revenues, cost of goods sold decreased to 70.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 72.1% for the comparable period in 2008. This decrease was attributable to a change in the mix of products sold during the periods.
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2009, was $6.5 million, or 29.4% of revenues, compared to $4.0, or 27.9% of revenues, for the comparable period in 2008. Management considers gross profit to be a key performance indicator in managing our business. Gross profit margins are usually a factor of cost of sales, product mix and demand for product. The increase in our gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2009 is primarily due to a change in the mix of products sold, which included an increase in sales of our newer products with higher gross margins.
Selling expenses were $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $709,000 for the comparable period in 2008. The increase was due to our expansion of our team of sales representatives and a 69% increase in our sales volume.
Research and development (“R&D”) costs were $476,000 or 2.2% of revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $275,000 or 1.9% of revenues in the comparable period in 2008, representing a 72.8% increase. The increased spending on R&D in 2009 was primarily due to our increased research and development efforts on new products. In the future, our R&D spending could increase to support new products and spur the future growth of the Company.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $808,000, or 3.7% of revenues, compared to $296,000, or 2.1% of revenues, for the comparable period in 2008. General and administrative expenses include office expenses, salary and benefits, rent and utilities and other expense. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the comparable period in 2008 was primarily due to an increase of $12,000 in office expenses, an increase of $56,000 in salary and benefit expenses, an increase of $290,000 in professional fees such as legal, auditing, and consulting, and an increase of $154,000 in other expenses. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase as a result of professional fees incurred as a result of being a publicly reporting company in the United States.
Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $7,000 compared to interest income of $449 for the comparable period in 2008. The increase in interest income is primarily due to an increased deposit balance in our bank account.
26
Imputed interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $36,000, compared to $4,000 for the comparable period in 2008, an increase of 843.7%. The increase in imputed interest expense was due to an increase in imputed interest expense of $29,000 related to interest on a loan from one of our directors. Additionally, in the three months ended September 30, 2009, we incurred imputed interest expense of $7,000 related to an interest-free promissory note payable by the Company. The holder of the note agreed to extend the repayment of the note until the closing of the Company’s proposed public offering.
Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $850,000 as compared to income tax expense of $482,000, for the comparable period in 2008. The increase in income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily due to an increase in our taxable income in the three months ended September 30, 2009 and an increase in our tax rate to 20% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from 18% in the comparable period in 2008. Shenzhen YPC is registered in PRC and has had tax advantages granted by local government for corporate income taxes and sales taxes. On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China enacted a new PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, under which foreign invested enterprises and domestic companies will be subject to enterprise income tax at a uniform rate of 25%. The new law became effective on January 1, 2008. During the transition period for enterprises established before March 16, the tax rate will be gradually increased starting in 2008 and be equal to the new tax rate in 2012. We believe that our profitability will be negatively affected in the near future as a result of the new EIT Law.
Net Income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $3.2 million compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Nine months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $63.3 million, an increase of 62.1%, compared to revenues of $39.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in revenues was largely due to a 74% increase in the number of units sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, which was attributable to increased orders from new and existing customers. Our increase in revenues was partially offset by the mix of the types of products sold during the period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we sold more of our lower priced-products than our higher-priced products, which include our numerical control motor products.
Revenues from sales of our Home Appliance Series of products were $41.2 million, or 65% of total revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, a 80% increase from revenues of $22.9 million, or 59% of total revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 for products in our Home Appliance Series. Revenues from sales of our Auto Parts Series of products were $13.7 million, or 22% of total revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, a 28% increase from revenues of $10.7 million, or 27% of total revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 for products in our Auto Parts Series. Revenues from sales of our Digital Motor Series of products were $8.3 million, or 13% of total revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, a 54% increase from revenues of $5.5 million, or 14% of total revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 for products in our Digital Motor Series.
Cost of goods sold consists of the cost of motor sales and other materials. Cost of goods sold was $45.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $17.4 million, or 61.8%, compared to $28.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This increase was primarily due to an increase in our sales volume. As a percentage of revenues, cost of goods sold decreased to 71.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 72.0% for the comparable period in 2008. This decrease was attributable to a slight change in the mix of products sold during the periods.
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, was $17.8 million, or 28.2% of revenues, compared to $10.9 million, or 28.0% of revenues, for the comparable period in 2008. Management considers gross profit to be a key performance indicator in managing our business. Gross profit margins are usually a factor of cost of sales, product mix and demand for product. The increase in our gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 is primarily due to a change in the mix of products sold, which included an increase in sales of our newer products with higher gross margins.
Selling expenses were $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $2.0 million for the comparable period in 2008. The increase was due to a 74% increase in our sales volume.
We incurred merger costs of $938,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 related to the share exchange transaction which closed on May 6, 2009.
Research and development (“R&D”) costs were $1.3 million or 2.0% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $703,000 or 1.8% of revenues in the comparable period in 2008, representing a 79.8% increase. The increased spending on R&D in 2009 was primarily due to our increased research and development efforts on new products.
27
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $1.7 million, or 2.7% of revenues, compared to $836,000, or 2.1% of revenues, for the comparable period in 2008. General and administrative expenses include office expenses, salary and benefits, rent and utilities and other expense. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the comparable period in 2008 was primarily due to an increase of $125,000 in office expenses, an increase of $127,000 in salary and benefit expenses, an increase of $324,000 in professional fees such as legal, auditing, and consulting, and an increase of $270,000 in other expenses. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase as a result of professional fees incurred as a result of being a publicly reporting company in the United States.
Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $20,000 compared to interest income of $2,000 for the comparable period in 2008. The increase in interest income is primarily due to an increased deposit balance in our bank account.
Imputed interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $70,000, compared to $13,000 for the comparable period in 2008, an increase of 426.8%. The increase in imputed interest expense was due to an increase in imputed interest expenses of $63,000 related to interest on a loan from one of our directors. Additionally, in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we incurred imputed interest expense of $7,000 related to an interest-free promissory note payable by the Company. The holder of the note agreed to extend the repayment of the note until the closing of the Company’s proposed public offering.
Income tax expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $2.4 million, as compared to income tax expenses of $1.3 million for the comparable period in 2008. The increase in income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily due to an increase in our taxable income in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and an increase in our tax rate to 20% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from 18% in the comparable period in 2008.
Net Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $8.3 million compared to $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash and cash equivalents of $6.5 million as of September 30, 2009, as compared to $2.7 million as of December 31, 2008. Our funds are kept in financial institutions located in China, and these funds are not insured. We have historically funded our operations from revenues.
We paid an aggregate of $600,000 in connection with the Share Exchange, including $350,000 to WestPark Capital, Inc., the placement agent, and $250,000 to a third party unaffiliated with the Company, Attainment Holdings or WestPark Capital. In addition, we also paid WestPark Capital a success fee of $140,000 for the Share Exchange and a due diligence fee of $80,000.
Jianrong Li, one of our directors, shall convert approximately $1.3 million owed to her by the Company at the closing of the Share Exchange into shares of the Company’s common stock on the effective date of the Company’s proposed firm commitment public offering (the “Public Offering”) which will occur concurrently with the Company’s listing on the NADSAQ Global Market, the conversion price of such to be equal to the per share price of the shares sold in the Public Offering.
We are subject to the regulations of the PRC which restricts the transfer of cash from China, except under certain specific circumstances. Accordingly, such funds may not be readily available to us to satisfy obligations which have been incurred outside the PRC.
Our accounts receivable has been an increasingly significant portion of our current assets, representing $7.8 million as of September 30, 2009 and $5.2 million as of December 31, 2008. If customers responsible for a significant amount of accounts receivable were to become insolvent or otherwise unable to pay for our products, or to make payments in a timely manner, our liquidity and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. An economic or industry downturn could materially adversely affect the servicing of these accounts receivable, which could result in longer payment cycles, increased collections costs and defaults in excess of management’s expectations. A significant deterioration in our ability to collect on accounts receivable could affect our cash flow and working capital position and could also impact the cost or availability of financing available to us.
We provide our major customers with payment terms ranging from 30 to 45 days. Additionally, our production lead time is approximately three weeks, from the inspection of incoming materials, to production, testing and packaging. We need to keep a large supply of raw materials and work in process and finished goods inventory on hand to ensure timely delivery of our products to our customers. We typically offer certain of our customers 30 to 90 days credit terms for payment. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts, the aging of accounts receivable, our history of bad debts, and the general condition of the industry. If a major customer’s credit worthiness deteriorates, or our customers’ actual defaults exceed historical experience, our estimates could change and impact our reported results. We have not experienced any significant amount of bad debt since the inception of our operation.
As of September 30, 2009, inventories amounted to $7.2 million, as compared to $7.3 million as of December 31, 2008.
28
On May 6, 2009, we received gross proceeds of approximately $665,000 in an initial closing of a private placement transaction. Pursuant to subscription agreements entered into with the investors, we sold an aggregate of 320,186 shares of Common Stock at $2.08 per share. On June 19, 2009, we conducted a second closing of the private placement, pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 208,868 shares of Common Stock at $2.08 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $433,800. On July 17, 2009, we conducted a third closing of the private placement, pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 272,342 shares of common stock at $2.08 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $565,625. On September 4, 2009, we conducted a fourth closing of the private placement pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 481,383 shares of Common Stock at $2.08 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $999,775. On October 6, 2009, we conducted the fifth and final closing of the private placement pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 768,988 shares of Common Stock at $2.08 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $1.7 million. Accordingly, we sold a total of 2,051,767 shares of our common stock in the private placement for total gross proceeds of $4.3 million (the “Private Placement”). In connection with the Private Placement, we paid WestPark Capital, Inc., the placement agent for the Private Placement, a commission equal to 8.5% of the gross proceeds from the Private Placement for aggregate fee of $362,000.
We agreed to file a registration statement covering the common stock sold in the Private Placement within 30 days of the final closing of the Private Placement and to pay for all costs related to the registration of the shares. We initially filed the registration statement with the SEC on October 4, 2009, within the 30-day time period.
In connection with the initial closing of the Private Placement, Excel Profit Global Group Ltd., a stockholder of the Company, issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $335,000, bearing no interest, to Chen Dong on May 6, 2009 (the “Note”). The Company assumed the obligation under the Note as of the date of the Note’s issuance. Originally, the principal was due and payable on or before the earlier of (a) six months from the date of issuance of the Note or (b) upon the receipt by the Company after the date of the Note of at least $1 million in additional proceeds in the Private Placement, however, the noteholder agreed to extend the Company’s re-payment of the Note until the closing of the proposed firm commitment Public Offering.
We are required to contribute a portion of our employees’ total salaries to the Chinese government’s social insurance funds, including pension insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, and job injuries insurance, and maternity insurance, in accordance with relevant regulations. Total contributions to the funds were approximately $7,470 and $22,334 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and $5,708 and $14,329 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. We expect that the amount of our contribution to the government’s social insurance funds will increase in the future as we expand our workforce and operations and commence contributions to an employee housing fund.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to net cash provided by operations of $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The $2.6 million increase was primarily due to an increase in operating profit.
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to approximately $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $407,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The change was due to an increase in our investment in fixed assets.
Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to net cash used by financing activities of $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase of cash provided by financing activities was primarily a result of the receipt of $2.4 million in cash proceeds from the Private Placement in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the payment of $2.1 million in dividends during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity depends partially on our ability to achieve anticipated levels of revenue, while continuing to control costs. If we did not have sufficient available cash, we would have to seek debt or equity financing through other external sources, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to maintain financing arrangements on acceptable terms would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a standard that established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) and amended the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles (ASC) and amended the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) such that the ASC became the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The ASC did not change current U.S. GAAP, but was intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All previously existing accounting standard documents were superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the ASC is considered non-authoritative. New accounting standards issued subsequent to June 30, 2009 are communicated by the FASB through Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs). The Company adopted the ASC on July 1, 2009. This standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition. However, throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements references that were previously made to various former authoritative U.S. GAAP pronouncements have been changed to coincide with the appropriate section of the ASC.
29
In September 2006, the FASB issued an accounting standard codified in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This standard established a single definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value, set out a fair value hierarchy to be used to classify the source of information used in fair value measurements, and required disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on their level in the hierarchy. This standard applies under other accounting standards that require or permit fair value measurements. One of the amendments deferred the effective date for one year relative to nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, but are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. This deferral applied to such items as nonfinancial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in a business combination (but not measured at fair value in subsequent periods) or nonfinancial long-lived asset groups measured at fair value for an impairment assessment. The adoption of the fair value measurement standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In December 2007, the FASB issued and, in April 2009, amended a new business combinations standard codified within ASC 805, which changed the accounting for business acquisitions. Accounting for business combinations under this standard requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction and establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Certain provisions of this standard impact the determination of acquisition-date fair value of consideration paid in a business combination (including contingent consideration); exclude transaction costs from acquisition accounting; and change accounting practices for acquisition-related restructuring costs, in-process research and development, indemnification assets, and tax benefits. The Company adopted the standard for business combinations for its business combination during the period ended June 30, 2009.
In April 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard which provides guidance on (1) estimating the fair value of an asset or liability when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly declined and (2) identifying transactions that are not orderly. The standard also amended certain disclosure provisions for fair value measurements and disclosures in ASC 820 to require, among other things, disclosures in interim periods of the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value as well as disclosure of the hierarchy of the source of underlying fair value information on a disaggregated basis by specific major category of investment. The standard was effective prospectively beginning April 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In April 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard which modifies the requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and changes the existing impairment model for such securities. The standard also requires additional disclosures for both annual and interim periods with respect to both debt and equity securities. Under the standard, impairment of debt securities will be considered other-than-temporary if an entity (1) intends to sell the security, (2) more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovering its cost, or (3) does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis (even if the entity does not intend to sell). The standard further indicates that, depending on which of the above factor(s) causes the impairment to be considered other-than-temporary, (1) the entire shortfall of the security’s fair value versus its amortized cost basis or (2) only the credit loss portion would be recognized in earnings while the remaining shortfall (if any) would be recorded in other comprehensive income. The standard requires entities to initially apply its provisions to previously other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities existing as of the date of initial adoption by making a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The cumulative-effect adjustment potentially reclassifies the noncredit portion of a previously other-than-temporarily impaired debt security held as of the date of initial adoption from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In April 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard regarding interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments. The standard essentially expands the disclosure about fair value of financial instruments that were previously required only annually to also be required for interim period reporting. In addition, the standard requires certain additional disclosures regarding the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In May 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard regarding subsequent events. This standard incorporates into authoritative accounting literature certain guidance that already existed within generally accepted auditing standards, with the requirements concerning recognition and disclosure of subsequent events remaining essentially unchanged. This guidance addresses events which occur after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of financial statements. Under the new standard, as under previous practice, an entity must record the effects of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date and must disclose but not record the effects of subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date. This standard added an additional required disclosure relative to the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and whether that is the date on which the financial statements were issued. For the Company, this standard was effective beginning April 1, 2009.
30
In June 2009, the FASB issued a new standard regarding the accounting for transfers of financial assets amending the existing guidance on transfers of financial assets to, among other things, eliminate the qualifying special-purpose entity concept, include a new unit of account definition that must be met for transfers of portions of financial assets to be eligible for sale accounting, clarify and change the derecognition criteria for a transfer to be accounted for as a sale, and require significant additional disclosure. The standard is effective for new transfers of financial assets beginning January 1, 2010. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard that revised the consolidation guidance for variable-interest entities. The modifications include the elimination of the exemption for qualifying special purpose entities, a new approach for determining who should consolidate a variable-interest entity, and changes to when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a variable-interest entity. The standard is effective January 1, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on how companies should measure liabilities at fair value under ASC 820. The ASU clarifies that the quoted price for an identical liability should be used. However, if such information is not available, a entity may use, the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities traded as assets, or another valuation technique (such as the market or income approach). The ASU also indicates that the fair value of a liability is not adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its transfer and indicates circumstances in which quoted prices for an identical liability or quoted price for an identical liability traded as an asset may be considered level 1 fair value. This ASU is effective October 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Concentration of Credit Risk
A significant portion of our cash is maintained at various financial institutions in the PRC which do not provide insurance for amounts on deposit. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to significant credit risk in this area.
Interest Rate Risk
We may face some risk from potential fluctuations in interest rates, although our debt obligations are primarily short-term in nature, but some bank loans have variable rates. If interest rates have great fluctuations, our financing cost may be significantly affected.
Foreign Currency Risk
Substantially all of our operations are conducted in the PRC and our primary operational currency in Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). As a result, currently the effect of the fluctuations of RMB exchange rates only has minimum impact on our business operations, but will be increasingly material as we introduce our products widely into new international markets. Substantially all of our revenues and expenses are denominated in RMB. However, we use the United States dollar for financial reporting purposes. Conversion of RMB into foreign currencies is regulated by the People’s Bank of China through a unified floating exchange rate system. Although the PRC government has stated our intention to support the value of the RMB, there can be no assurance that such exchange rate will not again become volatile or that the RMB will not devalue significantly against the U.S. dollar. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect the value, in U.S. dollar terms, of our net assets and income derived from our operations in the PRC.
31
Country Risk
The substantial portion of our assets and operations are located and conducted in China. While the PRC economy has experienced significant growth in the past twenty years, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall economy of China, but may also have a negative effect on us. For example, our operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations applicable to us. If there are any changes in any policies by the Chinese government and our business is negatively affected as a result, then our financial results, including our ability to generate revenues and profits, will also be negatively affected.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on an evaluation carried out as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective as of September 30, 2009.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Based on the evaluation of our management as required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
