2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| |
(a) | Basis of presentation |
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The consolidated interim financial information as of March 31, 2013 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have not been included. The consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, previously filed with the SEC.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2013, its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
Noncontrolling interest represents the ownership interests in a subsidiary that was held by owners other than the parent and is part of the equity of the consolidated group. The noncontrolling interest is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the parent’s equity. Net income or loss and comprehensive income or loss is attributed to the parent and the noncontrolling interest. If losses attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary exceed their interests in the subsidiary’s equity, the excess, and any further losses attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, is attributed to those interests.
(b) | Use of estimates |
| |
| The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Group to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
| |
(c) | Cash and cash equivalents |
| |
| Cash includes not only currency on hand but demand deposits with banks or other financial institutions. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less. |
| |
(d) | Restricted cash |
F-7
CHINA SHENGDA PACKAGING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES |
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(Amounts in US$) |
| Restricted cash represents the deposits held as compensating balances against banks’ acceptances issued and loans borrowed, amounting to US$26,330,067 and US$22,615,099 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. |
| |
(e) | Accounts and notes receivable |
| |
| Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original sales amounts less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed. |
| |
| Accounts receivable are reviewed periodically as to whether they are past due based on contractual terms and their carrying value has become impaired. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period in which loss is determined to be probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating doubtful collection, historical experience, account balance aging and prevailing economic conditions. Accounts receivable balances are written off after all collection efforts have been exhausted. No significant account receivable balance was written off for March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. |
| |
| Notes receivable represent banks’ acceptances that have been arranged with third-party financial institutions by certain customers to settle their purchases from us. These banks’ acceptances are non-interest bearing and are collectible within six months. Such sales and purchasing arrangements are consistent with industry practices in the PRC. |
| |
| There are no outstanding amounts from customers that individually represent greater than 10% of the total balance of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. |
| |
(f) | Inventories |
| |
| Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using weighted average method. Inventory includes raw materials and finished goods. The variable production overheads are allocated to each unit of production on the basis of the actual use of the production facilities. The allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion is based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. |
| |
| Where there is evidence that the utility of inventories, in their disposal in the ordinary course of business, will be less than cost, whether due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes, the inventories are written down to their fair value for the difference with charges to cost of sales. |
| |
| No value was written down for the inventories as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. |
| |
(g) | Property, plant and equipment and construction in process |
| |
| Other than those acquired in a business combination, property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. The historical cost of acquiring an item of property, plant and equipment includes the costs necessarily incurred to bring it to the condition and location necessary for its intended use. If an item of property, plant and equipment requires a period of time in which to carry out the activities necessary to bring it to that condition and location, the interest cost incurred during that period as a result of expenditures for the item is a part of the historical cost. This item is categorized as construction in progress and is not depreciated until substantially all the activities necessary to bring it to the condition and location necessary for its intended use are completed. |
| |
| Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual value) over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows. |
| | Years | | | Residual value | |
Buildings and improvements | | 5-20 | | | 5%-10% | |
Machinery | | 10 | | | 5%-10% | |
Office equipment | | 3-5 | | | 5%-10% | |
Motor vehicles | | 5 | | | 5%-10% | |
F-8
CHINA SHENGDA PACKAGING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES |
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(Amounts in US$) |
| Depreciation of property, plant and equipment attributable to manufacturing activities is capitalized as part of inventories, and expensed to cost of goods sold when inventories are sold. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. |
| |
| The gain or loss on the disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. |
| |
| Construction in progress represented capital expenditure in respect of direct costs of construction or acquisition and design fees incurred. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. Construction in progress is not depreciated. |
| |
(h) | Land use right |
| |
| Land use right represents the cost paid to the PRC government authorities. Land use right is amortized on a straight line basis over its estimated useful live, which is the periods over which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the Group. The land use right, with 166,533 square meters in area, has a term of 50 years and will expire in December 2058, the estimated useful live is as follows: |
| | Years | | | Residual value | |
Land use right | | 46 | | | 0% | |
(i) | Goodwill |
| |
| Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition costs over the fair value of tangible net assets and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and certain other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized. Intangible assets determined to have definite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are subject to impairment testing annually as of the fiscal year- end or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable, using the guidance and criteria described in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This testing compares carrying values to fair values and, when appropriate, the carrying value of these assets is reduced to fair value. |
| |
(j) | Customer relationships |
| |
| Customer relationship are amortized on a straight line basis over their respective estimated useful lives, which are the periods over which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the Group. The customer relationship is subject to impairment testing annually as of the fiscal year-end or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. |
| |
(k) | Impairment of long-lived assets |
A long-lived asset (disposal group) classified as held for sale is measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. A long-lived asset is not depreciated (amortized) while it is classified as held for sale. A gain or loss not previously recognized that result from the sale of a long-lived asset (disposal group) is recognized at the date of sale.
A long-lived asset (asset group) is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset (asset group). The assessment is based on the carrying amount of the asset (asset group) at the date it is tested for recoverability, whether in use or under development. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) exceeds its fair value.

| |
| The Company’s and Evercharm’s functional currency is the United States dollar (“US$”). The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC is Renminbi (“RMB”). |
| |
| At the date a foreign currency transaction is recognized, each asset, liability, revenue, expense, gain, or loss arising from the transaction is measured initially in the functional currency of the recording entity by use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. The increase or decrease in expected functional currency cash flows upon settlement of a transaction resulting from a change in exchange rates between the functional currency and the currency in which the transaction is denominated is recognized as foreign currency transaction gain or loss that is included in determining net income for the period in which the exchange rate changes. At each balance sheet date, recorded balances that are denominated in a foreign currency are adjusted to reflect the current exchange rate. |
| |
| The Company’s reporting currency is US$. Assets and liabilities of the PRC subsidiaries are translated at the current exchange rate at the balance sheet dates, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the reporting periods. Translation adjustments are reported in other comprehensive income. |
| |
(m) | Commitments and contingencies |
| |
| In the normal course of business, the Group is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations, product and environmental liability, and tax matters.

| |
| Delivery does not occur until products have been shipped to the customers, risk of loss has transferred to the customers and customers’ acceptance has been obtained, or the Group has objective evidence that the criteria specified in customers’ acceptance provisions have been satisfied. The sales price is not considered to be fixed or determinable until all contingencies related to the sale have been resolved. |
| |
| In the PRC, value added tax (the “VAT”) of 17% on invoice amount is collected in respect of the sales of goods on behalf of tax authorities. Revenue is recognized on a net basis, and the VAT collected is not recognized as revenue of the Company. |
| |
(p) | Research and development costs |
| |
| Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses consist of the costs of the Company’s internal research and development activities and the costs of developing new products and enhancing existing products. Research and development costs amounted to US$965,343 and US$758,823 were recorded in general and administrative expenses for three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |

Chinese labor regulations require that the PRC subsidiaries of the Group make contributions to the government for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries. The Group has no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions made. The total amounts for such employee benefits, which were expensed as incurred, were approximately US$306,922 and US$278,933 for three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
| |
(s) | Income taxes |
| |
| The Group follows ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes”, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. |

CHINA SHENGDA PACKAGING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES |
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(Amounts in US$) |
| The Group follows ASC Topic 740, according to which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures. The Group did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions and did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2013 and 2012. |
| |
(u) | Earnings per share |
| |
| Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260 “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income attributable to holders of common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares. |
| |
(v) | Comprehensive income |
| |
| The Group follows ASC Topic 220 “Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, ASC Topic 220 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. During the periods presented, the Group’s comprehensive income represents its net income and foreign currency translation adjustments. |
| |
(w) | Fair value measurements |
| |
| Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, prepayments and other receivables, short-term loans, accounts and notes payable, other payables and amounts due to related party. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short term maturities of these instruments. |
| |
| The Group adopted ASC Topic 820-10 for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Group has not adopted ASC Topic 820-10 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, as these items are not recognized at fair value on a recurring basis. |
| |
| ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. |
| |
| ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC Topic 820-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: |
| |
| Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
F-12
CHINA SHENGDA PACKAGING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES |
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(Amounts in US$) |
| Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. |
| |
| Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
| |
(x) | Recently issued accounting standards |
| |
| In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This ASU does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, this guidance requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. For public entities, the guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. For nonpublic entities, the guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. |
| |
| Except for the ASUs above, in the period ended May 10, 2013, The FASB has issued ASU No. 2013-01 through ASU 2013-07, which is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. |
| |
(y) | Concentration of Risks |
Concentration of Credit Risk
Assets that potentially subject the Group to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts and notes receivable. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, substantially all of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents were deposited in financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers in the PRC. The risk with respect to accounts receivable is mitigated by credit evaluations the Group performs on its customers and its ongoing monitoring process of outstanding balances.
Concentration of Customers
There are no revenues from customers which individually represent greater than 10% of the total revenues during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
Concentration of Suppliers
The Company purchased its products from two major suppliers during the period ended March 31, 2013, accounting for 17% and 12% of the purchases, respectively. There are no purchases from supplier which individually represent greater than 10% of the total purchase during the period ended March 31, 2012.
Current vulnerability due to certain other concentrations

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(Amounts in US$) |
The Group’s operations may be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in the PRC. Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than 30 years, no assurance can be given that the PRC government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption or unforeseen circumstances affecting the PRC’s political, economic and social conditions. There is also no guarantee that the PRC government’s pursuit of economic reforms will be consistent or effective.
The Group transacts all of its business in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. On January 1, 1994, the PRC government abolished the dual rate system and introduced a single rate of exchange as quoted daily by the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC”). However, the unification of the exchange rates does not imply that RMB may be readily convertible into US$ or other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the PBOC or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts.
Additionally, the value of RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the PRC foreign exchange trading system market.

Overview of Our Business
2
We are a leading paper packaging company in China. Through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Great Shengda, Shengda Color, Hangzhou Shengming and Suzhou AA, we are principally engaged in the design, manufacturing and sale of flexo-printed and color-printed corrugated paper cartons in a variety of sizes and strengths. We also manufacture corrugated paperboards, which are used for the production of our flexo-printed and color-printed cartons.
We provide paper packaging solutions to a wide variety of industries, including food, beverage, cigarette, household appliance, consumer electronics, pharmaceutical, chemical, machinery and other consumer or industrial sectors. Our major products are single-layer paper cartons for food, drinks and medicine, double-layer paper cartons for garments, chemicals, furniture, refrigerators and air-conditioners, and triple-layer paper cartons for electrical machinery, motorcycles and other heavy-duty products. Our maximum annual production capacity of corrugated paperboards as of March 31, 2013 was approximately 545 million square meters.
Our production facilities are strategically located in the YRD, a manufacturing center in China, thus putting us in close proximity to a large number of paper carton customers. Due to the weight and bulk of paper products and the consequent high shipping costs, paper packaging companies are generally limited to servicing a geographic radius from their production site, usually between 300 and 500 kilometers, within which they can compete economically. The paper carton market, therefore, is highly influenced by regional supply and demand dynamics. Based from our three manufacturing facilities in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, we have established a sales network with five customer service centers that can service customers throughout the YRD. As the leading paper packaging manufacturer in the YRD, we are well positioned to capitalize on the fast-growing demand for paper cartons driven by the concentration and success of the manufacturing companies in the region.
We serve a broad base of reputable customers, including some Fortune 500 companies and Top 500 Chinese enterprises. Our major customers include Nongfu Spring Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Cigarette Company, Samsung’s Chinese subsidiary Suzhou Samsung Electrical Co., Ltd. and Panasonic’s Chinese subsidiary Hangzhou Panasonic Home Electrical Appliance Company. We have developed long-term relationships with and loyalty from our customers, many of which have been with us for over five years. We have also engaged in strategic alliance relationships with ten customers as their preferred supplier. At the same time, we continue to attract new customers to generate higher demand for our products and increase market penetration.
Recent Development
The construction of our paper mill is approaching completion, we expect it will officially go into operation by the end of second quarter of 2013.

Revenues. We generate revenues from the sale of our paper cartons and other paper products. Our revenues decreased by $1.4 million, or 4.8%, to $27.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $28.5 million for the same period of 2012. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in sales volume. The average price per square meter was approximately $0.39 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which is approximately the same as in the same period of 2012.Sales volume decreased by 3.4 million square meters, or 4.6%, to 69.2 million square meters for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from 72.6 million square meters for the same period of 2012. The decreased sales volume was mainly the result of challenges from the domestic and foreign economic environment.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, color cartons accounted for 28.3% of our revenues and flexo cartons accounted for 71.7% of our revenues, compared to 27.2% and 72.8%, respectively, for the same period of 2012. Average per square meter prices for our color cartons and flexo cartons for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were approximately $0.40 and $0.39, respectively, as compared to approximately $0.44 and $0.38, respectively, for the same period of 2012.
Consumer and industrial goods manufacturing sectors are the principal markets we serve. Our major customers remained home appliances and electronics manufacturers and food, beverage and cigarette manufacturers in the YRD, which accounted for 28.3% and 29.8%, respectively, of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to 29.4% and 29.6%, respectively, of our revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Cost of goods sold.Our cost of goods sold is comprised of raw materials, labor cost (production-related workers), depreciation and amortization of production-related equipment, utilities consumption costs and overhead allocation. Our cost of goods sold decreased by $1.2 million, or 5.2%, to $21.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $23.0 million for the same period of 2012, which was mainly attributable to the decrease in sales volume described above. Average cost of goods sold per square meter for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was approximately $0.32, which was approximately the same as for the same period of 2012. Management will keep monitoring raw material prices for cost control.

Gross profit.Our gross profit decreased by $0.2 million, or 3.1%, to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $5.5 million for the same period of 2012. Gross profit from flexo cartons decreased by $0.1 million, or 1.3%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $3.8 million for the same period of 2012. Gross profit from color cartons decreased by $0.1 million, or 7.0%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $1.7 million for the same period of 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 19.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to 19.2% for the same period of 2012. The decrease in our gross profit was mainly due to decreased revenues partially offset by decreased cost of goods sold as noted above.
Selling expenses.Our selling expenses include freight, salary and benefits for sales and marketing personnel, travelling and advertising expenses. Our selling expenses decreased by $0.1 million, or 7.9%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $1.3 million for the same period of 2012. Such decrease resulted mainly from $0.07 million decrease in freight expenses, which was mainly attributed to the decreased revenues. As a percentage of revenues, selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased to 4.3%, from 4.4% for the same period of 2012.
General and administrative expenses.Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of research and development, or R&D, expense, salary and benefits for administrative personnel, rental fees, depreciation and amortization for equipment used other than for production and miscellaneous expenses unrelated to production. Our general and administrative expenses were $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $0.5 million, or 22.2% from $2.3 million for the same period of 2012. This was mainly attributable to a $0.2 million increase in R&D expenses, and $0.2 million increase in staff costs, which includes salary, benefits, social insurance and other relevant staff expenses. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased to 10.4%, as compared to 8.1% for the same period of 2012.
Income tax expense.Our income tax expense increased to $0.32 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $0.31 million for the same period of 2012. The increase in income tax expense was mainly attributable to the increase income tax rate of Great Shengda from 15% to 25%, and offsetting by the decrease in income before income tax expense and noncontrolling interest.
In December 2010, Great Shengda qualified as a National High-Tech Enterprise in the PRC, a status recognized by China’s Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Finance, and State Administration of Taxation. In December 2010, the status was approved by the local tax bureau who granted Great Shengda a preferential tax rate of 15%, retroactively effective as of January 1, 2010. Such status is subject to review by the government authorities every three years. During the review period, as Great Shengda currently is, the income tax is subject to the uniform income tax rate of 25% starting in 2013. Upon passing the review, the preferential tax rate of 15% will be applied retroactively from January 1, 2013. We cannot assure you that we will continue to have such status after 2013 or that the PRC government will continue the preferential tax treatment of designated high-tech enterprises.
Hangzhou Shengming is subject to the uniform income tax rate of 25% for calendar year 2012 and 2013.
Shengda Color, Suzhou AA and Shuangsheng are not entitled to any tax holidays or preferential tax treatment. Therefore, they are each subject to the uniform income tax rate of 25% for calendar years 2012 and 2013.
Net income attributable to Company’s common stockholders.As a result of the cumulative effect of the above factors, our net income attributable to Company’s common stockholders decreased by $0.6 million, or 43.3%, to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $1.5 million for the same period of 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash generated from our operations and borrowing capacity under our lines of credit are used as our primary source of liquidity. As of March 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $10.0 million and restricted cash of $26.3 million. We anticipate that cash on hand, and cash generated from our operations will be sufficient to satisfy our obligations for at least the next 12 months.
The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $1.6 million net cash provided by operating activities for the same period of 2012. This was attributable to our net income of $0.9 million, adjusted by depreciation and amortization expenses of $1.1 million, a net decrease in cash from restricted cash of $3.6 million, and a net decrease in cash from other working capital items of $0.9 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which was approximately the same as for the same period of 2012. The $2.7 million was used for purchases of property, plant and equipment, primarily related to machinery purchases and plant construction of our paper mill.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $1.5 million net cash provided by financing activities for the same period of 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we received proceeds from borrowings amounting to $3.2 million.
Seasonality
Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have not been subject to seasonal variations. This pattern may change, however, as a result of new market opportunities or new product introductions.
Inflation
Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business, and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future. However, our management will closely monitor price changes in the Chinese economy and our industry, and continually maintain effective cost controls in operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are those we believe are most important to portraying our financial conditions and results of operations and also require the greatest amount of subjective or complex judgments by management. Judgments and uncertainties regarding the application of these policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under various conditions or using different assumptions. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
