The Company repaid the note in full in February 2010.
NOTE 6 – 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.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes on January 1, 2007. The provisions clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with the standard “Accounting for Income Taxes,” 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.

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
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes, and the other financial information included in this report.
This report contains 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. These statements include, among others, information regarding future operations, future capital expenditures, and future net cash flow. Such statements reflect our management’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance and involve risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, general economic and business conditions, changes in foreign, political, social, and economic conditions, regulatory initiatives and compliance with governmental regulations, the ability to achieve further market penetration and additional customers, and various other matters, many of which are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, believed, estimated or otherwise indicated. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this report 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.
A small number of customers account for a very significant percentage of our revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, we had eight customers who each accounted for 5% of total sales, who together accounted for 44.6 % of our total sales for the period. None of those customers, accounted for at least 10% of our total sales for three months ended March 31, 2010. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we had eight customers that generated at least 5% of our total sales, with one of those customers accounting for at least 10% of our total sales. Such customer, Sunny Electronic Co., Ltd., accounted for 10.4% of our total sales for three months ended March 31, 2009. Unless we replace a customer, the loss of any of these customers could have a material adverse effect upon our revenue and net income.
Recent Events
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we incorrectly transferred approximately $1.3 million to an account controlled by Ms. Jianrong Li, the wife of our Chairman of the Board and the mother of our Chief Executive Officer, to effect certain corporate functions. Although, the entire amount of the transfers was returned to our account in April 2010, the transfers that we made to Ms. Li violated Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. No further transfers, loans, advances or similar arrangements will be made by us or any of our subsidiaries to Ms. Li or any of our officers or directors or any of their family members. However, as a result of the transfers by us to Ms. Li, we and/or our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board could become subject to sanctions, penalties, investigations or other proceedings.
Public Offering
In February 2010, we completed a public offering consisting of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock. Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”) and WestPark Capital, Inc. (“WestPark,” and together with Roth, the “Underwriters”) acted as co-underwriters in the public offering. Our shares of common stock were sold to the public at a price of $4.50 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $22.5 million. Compensation for the Underwriters’ services included discounts and commissions of $1,462,500, a $281,250 non-accountable expense allowance, roadshow expenses of approximately of $10,000, and legal counsel fees (excluding blue sky fees) of $40,000. The Underwriters also received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.625 per share. The warrants, which have a term of five years, are not exercisable until at least one-year from the date of issuance. The warrants also carry registration rights.
12
On February 24, 2009, the Underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full for the offer and sale of 750,000 additional shares of common stock at $4.50, for gross proceeds of approximately $3.4 million. Discounts and commissions to the Underwriters totaled $219,375.
As of March 31, 2010, we have not used any of the proceeds of the public offering.
Li Conversion
In connection with our public offering on February 3, 2010, Jianrong Li, a former director of the Company and the current President of Attainment and Luck Loyal and President and director of YuePengCheng, converted approximately $1.3 million of debt owed to Ms. Li into shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares were issued at a conversion price equal to the per share price of the shares of common stock sold in the Company’s public offering, which was $4.50 per share. The Company issued a total of 284,843 shares of common stock to Ms. Li pursuant to the conversion. As a result of the conversion of the debt into equity, the debt is no longer outstanding.
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions
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 discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including the allowance for doubtful accounts, the salability and recoverability of inventory, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We cannot predict what future laws and regulations might be passed that could have a material effect on our results of operations. We assess the impact of significant changes in laws and regulations on a regular basis and update the assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements when we deem it necessary.
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.
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.
There were no bad debts written off for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively, as there were no accounts receivable outstanding in excess of 90 days at March 31, 2010 and 2009. The aging of the accounts receivable (in thousands) is as follows:
March 31, | ||||||||
2010 | 2009 | |||||||
1-30 days | $ | 9,180 | $ | 7,332 | ||||
31-60 days | 455 | - | ||||||
60-90 days | - | - | ||||||
Total | $ | 9,635 | $ | 7,332 |
13
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 March 31, 2010 and 2009
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $21.5 million, an increase of 13.9%, compared to revenues of $18.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to an 18% increase in the average selling price of micro-motor units sold during the three months ended March 31, 2010. Our increase in revenues was partially offset by the mix of the types of products sold during the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we sold more of our lower priced-products than our higher-priced products, which include our numerical control motor products. Sales of our higher-profit products increased $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 from the comparable period in 2009.
Cost of goods sold consists of the cost of motor sales and other materials. Cost of goods sold was $15.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $1.8 million, or 13%, compared to $13.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the prices of raw materials, particularly lacquered wire, and an increase in our sale of higher priced products. As a percentage of revenues, cost of goods sold decreased to 71.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to 71.7% for the comparable period in 2009. This decrease was attributable to an increase in our sales of higher selling price products.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2010, was $6.2 million, or 28.9% of revenues, compared to $5.4 million, or 28.3% of revenues, for the comparable period in 2009. 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 March 31, 2010 is primarily due to an increase in our sales of higher selling price products.
Selling expenses were $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $0.9 million for the comparable period in 2009. The slight increase was due to our expansion of our sales efforts and an increase in our new customers.
Research and development (“R&D”) costs were $0.4 million or 1.8% of revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $0.4 million or 2.0% of revenues in the comparable period in 2009, representing a 5.4% increase. The increased spending on R&D in 2010 was primarily due to our increased research and development efforts on new products. In the future, our R&D spending could increase to support the future growth of the company. As a percent of revenues, we expect the R&D spending to be in the 1.8% to 2.2% range.
Other general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $0.9 million, or 4.2% of revenues, compared to $0.3 million, or 1.7% of revenues, for the comparable period in 2009. Other 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 March 31, 2010 as compared to the comparable period in 2009 was primarily due to an increase of $0.4 million in professional expenses and an increase of $0.1 million in office 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 March 31, 2010, was $13,597 compared to interest income of $6,037 for the comparable period in 2009. The increase in interest income is primarily due to an increase deposit balance in our bank account.
Imputed interest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were nil, compared to $16,971 for the comparable period in 2009 because we did not calculate the imputed interests for related party transactions based on guidance provided by ASC 835-30.
15
Income tax expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $1.0 million as compared to income tax expenses of $0.8 million, for the comparable period in 2009. The increase in income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to an increase in our taxable income in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and an increase in our tax rate to 22% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from 20% in the comparable in 2009. 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 March 31, 2010 was $3.0 million compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash and cash equivalents of $10.6 million as of March 31, 2010, as compared to $2.7 million as of March 31, 2009. Our funds are kept in financial institutions located in China, and these funds are not insured. We have historically funded our operations from revenues.
In connection with our public offering on February 3, 2010, Jianrong Li, a former director of the Company and the current President of Attainment and Luck Loyal and President and director of Shenzhen YPC, converted approximately $1.3 million of debt owed to Ms. Li into shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares were issued at a conversion price equal to the per share price of the shares of common stock sold in the Company’s public offering, which was $4.50 per share. The Company issued a total of 284,843 shares of common stock to Ms. Li pursuant to the conversion. As a result of the conversion of the debt into equity, the debt is no longer outstanding.
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 $9.6 million and $8.5 million as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. 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 operations.
As of March 31, 2010, inventories amounted to $5.6 million, compared to $7.2 million as of March 31, 2009.
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 $67,106, and $ 6,189 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. 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 $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to net cash provided by operations of $1.8 million for three months ended March 31, 2009. The $1.7 million increase was primarily due to an increase in our collection of accounts receivable and a decrease in inventories.
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to approximately $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $184,017 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The change was due to an increase in our investment in fixed assets.
16
Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $23.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to net cash used by financing activities of nil for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase of cash provided by financing activities was primarily a result of the receipt of $23.1 million in cash proceeds from the Private Placement in the three months ended March 31, 2010.
The ability of Shenzhen YPC to pay dividends may be restricted due to the foreign exchange control policies and availability of cash balance of the Chinese operating subsidiaries. A majority of our revenue being earned and currency received are denominated in RMB, which is subject to the exchange control regulation in China, and, as a result, we may unable to distribute any dividends outside of China due to PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert RMB into US Dollars. Accordingly, Shenzhen YPC’s funds may not be readily available to us to satisfy obligations which have been incurred outside the PRC, which could adversely affect our business and prospects or our ability to meet our cash obligations.
Based upon our present plans, we believe that cash on hand, cash flow from operations and funds available to us through financing will be sufficient to fund our capital needs for at least the next 12 months. We expect that our primary sources of funding for our operations for the upcoming 12 months and thereafter will result from our cash flow from operations to fund our operations during the upcoming 12 months and thereafter, in addition to the possibility of conducting debt and equity financings. However, 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 additional 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.
Seasonality
Our business is not seasonal in nature. The seasonal effect does not have material impact on our sales.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no material off-balance sheet transactions.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Information about market risks for the three months ended March 31, 2010, does not differ materially from that discussed under Item 7A in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2010.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and our Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures had a material weakness that caused our controls and procedures to be ineffective.
The material weakness consisted of a weakness in the recording and classification of accounting transactions and a lack of personnel with expertise in US generally accepted accounting principles and US Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Based on the evaluation of our management as required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, our management identified material weaknesses in our controls and procedures regarding our failure to timely disclose and prevent advances made in the form of unsecured loans with no fixed repayment dates made to a family member of our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board in violation of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 402”). We have taken steps to remediate the material weakness during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
17
The facts of the loan transactions and remediation measures are as follows:
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we incorrectly transferred approximately $1.3 million to an account controlled by Ms. Jianrong Li, the wife of our Chairman of the Board and the mother of our Chief Executive Officer, to effect certain corporate functions. Although, the entire amount of the transfers was returned to our account in April 2010, the transfers that we made to Ms. Li violated Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. No further transfers, loans, advances or similar arrangements will be made by us or any of our subsidiaries to Ms. Li or any of our officers or directors or any of their family members.
We also intend to take steps to improve the process designed to prevent such transfers to our directors, officers or related parties to ensure that future Section 402 violations do not occur.. We are seeking to improve our controls and procedures in an effort to remediate these deficiencies through improving supervision, education, and training of our accounting staff. Management plans to enlist additional qualified in house accounting personnel and third-party accounting personnel to ensure that management will have adequate resources in order to attain complete reporting of financial information disclosures in a timely matter. We also plan to engage outside consultants to assist us in assessing and improving our internal controls and procedures when necessary. We believe that the remedial steps that we plan to take will address the conditions identified by our CEO and CFO in our disclosure controls and procedures. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these improvements.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not involved in any material legal proceedings outside of the ordinary course of our business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been the following material changes in the risk factors of the Company as previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2010:
If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, the price of our common stock may be adversely affected.
We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. Any failure of these controls could also prevent us from maintaining accurate accounting records and discovering accounting errors and financial frauds. Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and attestation of this assessment by our independent registered public accountants. We believe that the attestation requirement of management’s assessment by our independent registered public accountants will first apply to our annual report for the 2010 fiscal year. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are new and complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. In May 2010, our management identified a material weakness in our controls and procedures regarding our failure to timely disclose and prevent transfers made to Ms. Jianrong Li, in violation of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We may encounter additional problems or delays in completing activities necessary to improve our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the attestation process by our independent registered public accountants is new and we may encounter problems or delays in receiving an attestation of our assessment by our independent registered public accountants. If we cannot assess our internal control over financial reporting as effective, or our independent registered public accountants are unable to provide an unqualified attestation report on such assessment, investor confidence and share value may be negatively impacted.
In addition, management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting, or disclosure of our public accounting firm’s attestation to or report on management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.
We made transfers to a family member of our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in violation of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and we and/or our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer could become subject to sanctions, penalties, investigations or other proceedings.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we incorrectly transferred approximately $1.3 million to an account controlled by Ms. Jianrong Li, the wife of our Chairman of the Board and the mother of our Chief Executive Officer, to effect certain corporate functions. Although the entire amount of the transfers was returned to our account in April 2010, the transfers that we made to Ms. Li violated Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 402”).
18
Although we have attempted to take remedial steps to address the violation of Section 402 by requiring immediate and full repayment of all transfers, the violation of Section 402 may cause governmental authorities, such as the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, to subject us to sanctions, penalties, or investigations or other proceedings, which may not be resolved favorably and will require significant management time and attention, and we could incur costs which could materially and negatively affect our business, results of operations and cash flows. There are no assurances that an investigation or other proceedings will not commence, and if commenced, that such investigation or other proceedings will result in a favorable outcome for us.
