1. | PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND ORGANIZATION |
| |
| The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of China Shengda Packaging Group Inc. (the “Company” or “China Shengda Packaging”) and its subsidiaries, Evercharm Holdings Limited (“Evercharm”), Zhejiang Great Shengda Packaging Co., Ltd (“Great Shengda”), Zhejiang Shengda Color Pre-printing Co. Ltd (“Shengda Color”), Hangzhou Shengming Paper Co., Ltd (“Hangzhou Shengming”) and Suzhou Asian and American Paper Products Co., Ltd (“Suzhou AA”). The Company and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Group”. |
| |
| Principal activities |
| |
| China Shengda Packaging was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 16, 2007 as a web-based service provider offering an online service where health practitioners could purchase products and services to improve their work and home lives, including books, CDs, clothing, and accessories geared towards the needs of these practitioners. However, it did not engage in any operations and was dormant from its inception until its reverse acquisition of Evercharm on April 8, 2010. |
| |
| On April 8, 2010, China Shengda Packaging completed a reverse acquisition transaction through a share exchange with Evercharm and its sole shareholder, Shengda (Hangzhou) Holdings Limited (“Shengda Holdings”), whereby China Shengda Packaging acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Evercharm, in exchange for 27,600,000 shares of China Shengda Packaging’s common stock, which constituted 92% of its issued and outstanding shares on a fully-diluted basis of China Shengda Packaging immediately after the consummation of the reverse acquisition. As a result of the reverse acquisition, Evercharm became China Shengda Packaging’s wholly-owned subsidiary and Shengda Holdings, the former shareholder of Evercharm, became China Shengda Packaging’s controlling stockholder. The share exchange transaction with Evercharm was treated as a reverse acquisition, with Evercharm as the accounting acquirer and China Shengda Packaging as the accounting acquiree. |
| |
| On April 29, 2010, the Company completed a private placement of shares of its common stock with a group of accredited investors. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with the investors, the Company issued to the investors an aggregate of 1,456,311 shares at a price per share of $3.43 for $5 million. Net proceeds after deducting offering costs were approximately $4.0 million. |
| |
| On April 8, 2010, China Shengda Packaging amended its articles of incorporation and changed the name from "Healthplace Corporation" to "China Shengda Packaging Group Inc." to more accurately reflect its new business. |
| |
| Evercharm was incorporated in British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) on September 15, 2004, and is a holding company without any operation. |
| |
| Great Shengda, Evercharm’s wholly-owned subsidiary, was incorporated in Hangzhou city, Zhejiang province, People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on November 22, 2004. Its registered capital was US$9 million as of June 30, 2010. Great Shengda is engaged in manufacturing and processing corrugated fibreboard boxes and paper board and package decoration printing and selling. |
| |
| Shengda Color, Great Shengda’s 100% wholly-owed subsidiary, was incorporated in Hangzhou city, Zhejiang province, PRC on August 8, 2005 with registered capital of RMB10 million. Shengda Color is engaged in the manufacturing and sale of paper boxes and paper board, as well as the research and development of paper packing technology. |

(Amounts in US$)
Hangzhou Shengming, was incorporated in Hangzhou city, Zhejiang province, PRC on December 28, 2006 with registered capital of US$12 million. It was 50% held by Shengda Color and 50% held by Cheng Loong (Hangzhou) Investment Co., Ltd., (“Cheng Loong”), a company incorporated in Samoa. According to a share purchase agreement between Cheng Loong and Shengda Color dated November 22, 2007, and the approval certificate issued on December 21, 2007 by Zhejiang Government, Shengda Color purchased 25% of the equity interest of Hangzhou Shengming from Cheng Loong (the “Acquisition”) with cash consideration of US$3 million. Hangzhou Shengming became Shengda Color’s 75% subsidiary after the Acquisition. On July 1, 2010, Evercharm entered into a share transfer agreement (the “Share Transfer Agreement”) relating to the acquisition of the remaining 25% equity interest in Hangzhou Shengming from Cheng Loong, with cash consideration amounting to US$3 million (the “2nd Acquisition”). After the 2nd Acquisition, Hangzhou Shengming became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Resulting from the 2nd Acquisition, the noncontrolling interest amounting to approximate US$4 million as of June 30, 2010 was derecognized and the difference between the cash consideration and the noncontrolling interest amounting to approximately $1 million was recognized as additional paid-in capital.
Suzhou AA was incorporated in Suzhou city, Jiangsu province, PRC on June 22, 2010, with registered capital amounting to RMB1.58 million (US$0.23 million). It is engaged in manufacturing and sales of paper products. On August 12, 2010, Great Shengda acquired 100% equity interest of Suzhou AA from the original shareholders, for cash consideration amounting to RMB3 million (US$0.44 million).

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| |
(a) | Change of reporting entity and basis of presentation |
| |
| As a result of the share exchange signed on April 8, 2010, Evercharm became a wholly owned subsidiary of China Shengda Packaging. The former Evercharm’s shareholders owned a majority of the common stock of the Company. The transaction was regarded as a reverse merger whereby Evercharm was considered to be the accounting acquirer as its shareholders retained control of the Company after the Share Exchange, although China Shengda Packaging is the legal parent company. The Share Exchange was treated as a recapitalization of the Company. As such, Evercharm is the continuing entity for financial reporting purposes. In a reverse acquisition, the historical shareholder’s equity of the accounting acquirer prior to the merger is retroactively reclassified (a recapitalization) for the equivalent number of shares received in the merger after giving effect to any difference in par value of the registrant’s and the accounting acquirer’s stock by an offset in paid in capital. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if Evercharm had always been the reporting company and then on the Share Exchange date, had changed its name and reorganized its capital stock. |
| |
| The accompanying 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 September 30, 2010 and for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 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”), The 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 8-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, 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 September 30, 2010, its consolidated results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and its cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, 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 is 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 are 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) | Business combination |
| |
| For a business combination with acquisition date on or after January 1, 2009, the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree were recognized at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. In a business combination achieved in stages, the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, were recognized at the full amounts of their fair values. In a bargain purchase in which the total acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred plus any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, that excess in earnings was recognized as a gain attributable to the Group. |
| |
| Deferred tax liability and asset were recognized for the deferred tax consequences of differences between the tax bases and the recognized values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10 (Formerly SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”). |
| |
(d) | 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. No cash and cash equivalents are restricted as to withdrawal or usage. |
| |
(e) | Restricted cash |
| |
| Restricted cash represents the deposits held as compensating balances against banks’ acceptances issued, amounting to US$11,228,148 and US$4,401,000 as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. |
| |
(f) | 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 the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, 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 September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. |
| |
(g) | 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. |

(Amounts in US$)
| 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, a provision is accrued for the difference with charges to cost of sales. |
| |
(h) | Property, plant and equipment |
| |
| Other than those acquired in a business combination as described in note 2(c), property, plant and equipment are 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% |
| 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. |
| |
(i) | Goodwill |
| |
| Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations (see note 3). Goodwill is not amortized; rather, impairment tests are performed at least annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. If impairment exists, goodwill is immediately written off to its fair value and the best estimate of that loss is recognized in those financial statements. |
| |
(j) | Customer relationship |
| |
| 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. |
| |
(k) | Impairment of long-lived assets |
F-11
CHINA SHENGDA PACKAGING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(Amounts in US$)
| 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. There were no events or changes in circumstances that necessitated a review of impairment of long-lived assets as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. |
| |
(l) | Foreign currency translation and transactions |
| |
| The Company’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. In accordance with ASC Topic 450 (formerly SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”) the Group records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Group has not experienced any material service liability claims. |
| |
(n) | Appropriated retained earnings |
| |
| The income of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries is distributable to its stockholders after transfer to reserves as required by relevant PRC laws and regulations and the subsidiaries’ articles of association. Appropriations to the reserves are approved by the respective boards of directors. |

(Amounts in US$)
Reserves include statutory reserves and other reserves. Statutory reserves can be used to make good previous years’ losses, if any, and may be converted into capital in proportion to the existing equity interests of stockholders, provided that the balance after such conversion is not less than 25% of the registered capital. The appropriation of statutory reserve may cease to apply if the balance of the fund is equal to 50% of the entity’s registered capital. Pursuant to relevant PRC laws and articles of association of Great Shengda, Shengda Color, Hangzhou Shengming and Suzhou AA, the appropriation to the statutory reserves and other reserves is 15% of net profit after taxation of respective entity, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The results of operations reflected in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP might differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries.
As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the statutory reserve recorded by the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC amounted to US$5,560,724 and US$5,560,724, respectively.
The statutory reserve of Great Shengda exceeded 50% of its registered capital as of September 30, 2010, therefore it is not required to appropriate its future income to statutory reserve by the PRC laws and regulations.
As of September 30, 2010, the statutory reserve balances of Hangzhou Shengming, Shengda Color and Suzhou AA accounted for approximately 5.2%, 19.0% and nil of their registered capital, respectively. The future income will be subject to statutory reserve.

(o) | Revenue recognition |
| |
| The Group recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605 (formerly Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue recognition”). All of the following criteria must exist in order for the Group to recognize revenue: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. |
| |
| 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$300,964 and US$372,904 were recorded in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. US$262,498 and US$92,911 were recorded in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. |
| |
(q) | Advertising |
| |
| Advertising which generally represents the cost of promotions to create or stimulate a positive image of the Group or a desire to buy the Group’s products and services, are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to US$38,099 and US$3,665, were recorded in the selling expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. US$12,911 and nil were recorded in the selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. |
| |
(r) | Retirement and other postretirement benefits |
| |
| Full-time employees of the Group in the PRC participate in a government mandated defined contribution plan, pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. 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$329,557 and US$272,958 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and US$139,733 and US$90,117 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. |
| |
(s) | Income taxes |
| |
| The Group follows ASC Topic 740, (formerly SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for 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. |

(t) | Uncertain tax positions |
F-14
CHINA SHENGDA PACKAGING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(Amounts in US$)
| The Group follows ASC Topic 740 (formerly Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”). ASC Topic 740 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 as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. |
| |
(u) | Earnings per share |
| |
| Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260 (formerly SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”). Basic earnings per share is 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 (formerly SFAS No. 130, “Reporting 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 (formerly SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” ) on January 1, 2008 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-15
CHINA SHENGDA PACKAGING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(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 2010, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued several Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”) – ASU-2010-1 through ASU-2010-26, which do not require adoption until a future date, are 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, accounts and notes receivable. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, 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. |
F-16
CHINA SHENGDA PACKAGING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Amounts in US$)
| Concentration of Customers |
| |
| There are no revenues from other customers which individually represent greater than 10% of the total revenues for the periods presented. |
| |
| Current vulnerability due to certain other concentrations |
| |
| The Group’s operations may be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in the PRC. Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than 30 years, no assurance can be given that the PRC government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption or unforeseen circumstances affecting the PRC’s political, economic and social conditions. There is also no guarantee that the PRC government’s pursuit of economic reforms will be consistent or effective. |
| |
| The Group transacts all of its business in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. On January 1, 1994, the PRC government abolished the dual rate system and introduced a single rate of exchange as quoted daily by the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC”). However, the unification of the exchange rates does not imply that RMB may be readily convertible into US$ 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. |
| |
3. | BUSINESS COMBINATION |
| |
| On August 12, 2010, Great Shengda entered into an acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Suzhou AA. According to the Acquisition Agreement, Great Shengda acquired 100% equity interest of Suzhou AA from Ms. Meiying Dai and Mr. Caocheng Qu, for cash consideration amounting to RMB3 million (US$0.44 million). Therefore, the acquisition was accounted as a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805 (formerly SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combination”) |
| |
| According to ASC Topic 805, the allocation of Suzhou AA’s purchase price among the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on estimates of the fair value. Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values with the excess charged to goodwill. |
| |
| In accordance with SEC Regulation S-X Rule 3-05, Suzhou AA was not a significant subsidiary as of the acquisition date, therefore no separate audited financial statements are presented. The results of operations of Suzhou AA for the period from August 12 to September 30, 2010 had been consolidated. |
| |
| The following table provides the allocation of the purchase price based upon Suzhou AA’s fair value of identifiable net assets on the acquisition date: |
| Assets | | | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 233,090 | |

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.

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.
We serve a broad base of reputable customers, including some of the Fortune 500 companies and Top 500 Chinese enterprises. Our major customers include Hangzhou Wahaha Group Co., Ltd., 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.

Recent development
On July 1, 2010, Evercharm entered into a share transfer agreement (the “Share Transfer Agreement”) relating to the acquisition of the remaining 25% equity interest in Hangzhou Shengming from Cheng Loong, with cash consideration amounting to US$3 million (the “2nd Acquisition”).

On August 12, 2010, Great Shengda acquired 100% equity interest of Suzhou AA from the original shareholders, for cash consideration amounting to RMB3 million (US$0.44 million). The acquisition was completed in October 2010,
In October 2010, Great Shengda was qualified as a high-tech company, as a result of which Great Shengda will be entitled to a preferential tax rate of 15% for three years beginning in 2010, subject to completion of registration with PRC Ministry of Science and Technology and approval by the local tax bureau.

Subject to obtaining the approval, the preferential tax rate will be applied retroactively from January 1, 2010.
Third quarter Financial Performance Highlights
During the third quarter of 2010, we continued to see strong demand for our products and growth in our revenues. The packaging industry continued to expand during the third quarter of 2010 in large part, we believe, due to Chinese government policies designed to stimulate the economy, and improve infrastructure throughout China and encourage domestic consumption, and growth in urbanization and industrialization throughout China.
The following are some financial highlights for the third quarter of 2010:
- Sales Revenue: Sales revenue increased $6.1 million, or 24.6%, to $30.9 million for the third quarter of 2010 from $24.8 million for the same period of last year.
- Gross Profit: Gross profit of $8.4 million represented 27.2% of sales revenue for the third quarter of 2010, compared with gross profit of $6.7 million that represented 27.0% of sales revenue for the same period in 2009.

Revenues.Revenues increased $6.1 million, or 24.6%, to $30.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $24.8 million in the same period of 2009. Higher selling prices, representing the primary reason for increased revenues, resulted in a $5.3 million increase in revenues. The average purchase price of raw materials increased by approximately 33.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. The purchase price was partially passed on to customers through increased selling prices, ranging from approximately 15.0% to 30.0%, for our major products. We expect our selling prices to stabilize for the remainder of 2010 unless our raw material costs continue to increase, in which case we may decide to further increase selling prices. The remainder of our revenue increase was primarily a result of increased sales volume from strengthened demand for our products, including demand from our major customers in the food, beverage and cigarettes and home appliances and electronics sectors, which accounted for $0.8 million of our revenue increase.

Our product mix, based on revenues, changed during the third quarter of 2010, with color cartons accounting for a higher percentage of our revenues than in prior periods. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, color cartons accounted for 27.2% of our revenues, and flexo cartons accounted for the rest, compared to 25.9% and 74.1%, respectively, for the same period in 2009. Average per square meter prices for our color cartons and flexo cartons in the third quarter of 2010 were approximately $0.44 and $0.36, respectively, as compared to approximately $0.39 and $0.29, respectively, for the same period of 2009. We expect sales volume of color cartons will continue to increase and constitute an increasing portion of our revenues as we intend to expand our production capacity for color cartons to meet anticipated rising demand from expected increased consumer emphasis on image and presentation.
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 22.2% and 25.2% of our revenues in the three months
ended September 30, 2010, respectively. We benefited from the economic recovery of the region since the financial crisis in 2008. According to the Development Research Center of the State Council of China, the economy in the YRD region experienced significant growth in 2009 and 2010, representing a GDP growth rate of 7.3% from 2008 to 2009 and 20.6% from the first half of 2009 to the same period of 2010. We expect the economy of the YRD region to continue to grow into the rest of 2010 and 2011, which we believe will provide a favorable macroeconomic environment for our business.
Cost of Goods Sold.Our cost of goods sold increased $4.4 million, or 24.2%, to $22.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $18.1 million in the same period of 2009. This increase was mainly due to an increase in the cost of raw material, which increased $3.9 million, or 30.0%, to $17.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $13.1 million in the same period of 2009. The increase in our raw material costs was primarily due to an increase in our sales volume and an increase in the average purchase price of raw materials. Despite the increase in the absolute figure, our cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenues decreased from 73.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2009 to 72.8% in the same period of 2010. This decrease was due to passing the cost increase of raw material partially to our customers and our improved production process and equipment, which resulted in more efficient equipment utilization, reduced waste and reduced processing time.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit increased $1.7 million, or 25.5%, to $8.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $6.7 million in the same period of 2009. Gross profit from flexo cartons increased by $1.0 million, or 20.8%, to approximately $5.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $4.8 million in the same period of 2009. Gross profit from color cartons increased by $0.7 million, or 36.8%, to approximately $2.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $1.9 million in the same period of 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 27.2% during the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to 27.0% during the same period of 2009. Such percentage increase was mainly the result of the increase in revenues with a proportionately smaller increase in the cost of goods sold. The increase in our gross profit was also partially due to the addition of higher margin packaging products, including waterproof and extra heavy-duty packaging, to our product offering.
Selling Expenses. Selling expenses include freight, salary and benefits for sales and marketing personnel, travelling and advertising expenses, of which freight represents the most significant factor, accounting on average for approximately 65.0% of selling expenses. Our selling expenses decreased $0.8 million, or 44.8%, to $1.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $1.8 million in the same period of 2009. As a percentage of revenues, selling expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased to 3.2% from 7.3% for the same period of 2009. In the same period of 2009, we incurred higher selling expenses because we devoted more resources to develop, expand and explore the market in light of the unfavorable economic conditions in 2009. To date, we have not spent significant amounts on advertising as we mainly rely on long-term relationships with existing customers and our reputation as a quality packaging solutions provider in the YRD to attract new customers. The decrease was primarily due to: (1) $0.3 million decreased in traveling and advertising expenses, from $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2009 to $0.1 million in the same period of 2010, (2) $0.5 million decreased in the freight from $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2009 to $0.6 million in the same period of 2010.
We engaged a logistics specialist in fiscal year 2009 to evaluate how we may improve efficiency. Based on the evaluation, we changed our delivery logistics to ship products when we can fill a truckload with products, to the extent no delay in delivery and no undue demand on storage capacity will result, rather than shipping when the products were manufactured. This helped reduce freight cost in the third quarter of 2010. Freight as a percentage of revenues in the third quarter of 2010 was approximately 2.1%, reduced from approximately 4.7% in the same period last year. We intend to continue to optimize our delivery logistics in this manner to keep selling expenses down.
Freight costs in a region generally fluctuate with the region’s level of economic activities. However, the fluctuations in freight costs generally do not have significant impact on our costs because the relatively short lead time (usually two weeks or less) for our products enables us to reflect freight costs in our selling prices.

General and Administrative Expenses.General and administrative expenses comprise research and development expense, salary and benefits for administrative personnel, rental fee, depreciation and amortization for equipment used other than for production and miscellaneous expenses unrelated to production. Our general and administrative expenses increased $0.2 million, or 24.7%, to $1.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $1.1 million in the same period of 2009. The increase was mainly attributable to research and development expenses rising to $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2010 from $0.1 million in the same period of 2009. We will continue to invest in research and development throughout the year and we expect expenses will reach approximately $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. We have invested in six collaborative R&D projects with five research institutions since the second quarter of 2010. These projects focus on developing new products or new packaging or printing technologies. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2010 remained the same as 4.3%, as compared to the same period of 2009.
Income Before Income Tax Expense and Noncontrolling Interest. Income before income tax expense and noncontrolling interest increased $2.3 million, or 60.0%, to $6.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $3.8 million in the same period of 2009. Income before income tax expense and noncontrolling interest as a percentage of our revenues increased to 19.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to 15.2% in the same period in 2009, as a result of the factors described above.
Income Tax Expense. Our income tax expense increased to $1.3 million from $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009. The increase in income tax expense was mainly attributable to the expiration of the tax holiday for Great Shengda in 2010 and the increase of income before income tax expense in the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. Great Shengda enjoyed a 12.5% preferential enterprise income tax rate in 2009. Starting in 2010, Great Shengda is subject to the uniform income tax rate of 25%. However, we expect that Great Shengda will obtain approval from the PRC Ministry of Science and Technology and qualify as a high-tech company in the fourth quarter of 2010, in which case Great Shengda would be entitled to a preferential tax rate of 15% for three years beginning in 2010.
Net income attributable to China Packaging Group Inc. common stockholders.Our net income attributable to China Packaging Group Inc. common stockholders increased $1.5 million, or 45.9%, to $4.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $3.3 million in the same period of 2009 as result of the above factors.

Revenues.Revenues increased $22.0 million, or 31.5%, to $91.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $69.9 million in the same period of 2009. Higher selling prices, representing the primary reason for increased revenues, resulted in a $16.3 million increase in revenues. The average purchase price of raw materials increased by approximately 31.0% in the first nine months of 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009, which cost increase was partially passed on to customers through increased selling prices, ranging from approximately 15.0% to 30.0%, for our major products. We expect our selling prices to stabilize for the remainder of 2010 unless our raw material costs continue to increase, in which case we may decide to further increase selling prices. The remainder of our revenue increase was primarily a result of increased sales volume from strengthened demand for our products, including demand from our major customers in the food, beverage and cigarettes and home appliances and electronics sectors, which accounted for $4.7 million of our revenue increase.
Our product mix, based on revenues, changed during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, with color cartons accounting for a higher percentage of our revenues than in prior periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, color cartons accounted for 26.9% of our revenues, and flexo cartons accounted for the rest, compared to 24.8% and 75.2%, respectively, for the same period in 2009. Average per square meter prices for our color cartons and flexo cartons in the first three quarters of 2010 were approximately $0.43 and $0.36, respectively, as compared to approximately $0.37 and $0.28, respectively, for the same period of 2009. We expect sales volume of color cartons will continue to increase and account for an increasing portion of our revenues as we intend to expand our production capacity for color cartons to meet anticipated rising demand from expected increased consumer emphasis on image and presentation.
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 25.2% and 22.2% of our revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. We benefited from the economic recovery of the region since the financial crisis in 2008. According to the Development Research Center of the State Council of China, the economy in the YRD experienced significant growth in 2009 and 2010, representing a GDP growth rate of 7.3% from 2008 to 2009 and 20.6% from the first half of 2009 to the same period of 2010. We expect the economy of the YRD to continue to grow into the rest of 2010 and 2011, which we believe will provide a favorable macroeconomic environment for our business.

Cost of Goods Sold.Our cost of goods sold increased $14.8 million, or 28.8%, to $66.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $51.3 million in the same period of 2009. This increase was mainly due to an increase in the cost of raw material, which increased $12.8 million, or 33.3%, to $51.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $38.4 million in the same period of 2009. The increase in our raw material costs was primarily due to an increase in our sales volume and an increase in the average purchase price of raw materials. Labor costs also accounted for a portion of the increase in our cost of goods sold as such costs increased $0.4 million, or 9.3%, to $4.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $4.3 million in the same period of 2009. Despite the increase in the absolute figure, our cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenues decreased from 73.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to 72.0% in the same period of 2010. This decrease was due to our passing on the cost increase of raw material partially to our customers and our improved production process and equipment, which resulted in more efficient equipment utilization, reduced waste and reduced processing time.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit increased $7.2 million, or 38.9%, to $25.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $18.5 million in the same period of 2009. Gross profit from flexo cartons increased by $4.8 million, or 35.8%, to approximately $18.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $13.4 million in the same period of 2009. Gross profit from color cartons increased by $2.4 million, or 47.1%, to approximately $7.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $5.1 million in the same period of 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 28.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to 26.5% during the same period of 2009. Such percentage increase was mainly the result of the increase in revenues with a proportionately smaller increase in the cost of goods sold. The increase in our gross profit was also partially due to the addition of higher margin packaging products, including waterproof and extra heavy-duty packaging, to our product offering.
Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses decreased $1.9 million, or 37.6%, to $3.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $5.1 million in the same period of 2009. As a percentage of revenues, selling expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased to 3.5% from 7.3% for the same period of 2009. In the same period of 2009, we incurred higher selling expenses because we devoted more resources to develop, expand and explore the market in light of the unfavorable economic conditions in 2009. To date, we have not spent significant amounts on advertising as we mainly rely on long-term relationships with existing customers and our reputation as a quality packaging solutions provider in the YRD to attract new customers. The decrease was primarily due to: (1) $0.7 million decreased in traveling and advertising expenses, from $1.2 million in the first three quarters of 2009 to $0.5 million in the same period of 2010, (2) $1.2 million decreased in the freight from $3.3 million in the first three quarters of 2009 to $2.1 million in the same period of 2010.
We changed our delivery logistics, which has helped reduce freight. Freight as a percentage of revenues in the first three quarters of 2010 was approximately 2.3%, reduced from approximately 4.7% in the same period last year. We intend to continue to optimize our delivery logistics in this manner to keep selling expenses down.
General and Administrative Expenses.General and administrative expenses comprise research and development expense, salary and benefits for administrative personnel, rental fee, depreciation and amortization for equipment used other than for production and miscellaneous expenses unrelated to production. Our general and administrative expenses increased $0.7 million, or 23.9%, to $3.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $3.1 million in the same period of 2009. The increase was mainly attributable to business expansion and more bonuses paid in the first three quarters of 2010 due to improving business performance over the period. The total amount of salary, traveling, office, and depreciation increased to $1.3 million in the first three quarters of 2010 from $0.7 million in the same period of 2009, while research and development expenses decreased by $0.1 million. Research and development expenses decreased to $0.3 million in the first three quarters of 2010 from $0.4 million in the same period in 2009. However, we will continue to invest in research and development throughout the year and we expect research and development expenses will reach approximately $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. We have invested in six collaborative R&D projects with five research institutions since the second quarter of 2010. These projects focus on developing new products or new packaging or printing technologies. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased to 4.1%, as compared to 4.4% for the same period of 2009. [The decrease was mainly attributable to strict expense controls and improved management efficiency.]
9
Interest Expense.Our interest expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 29.2%, to $0.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $0.6 million in the same period of 2009. As a percentage of revenues, interest expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased to 0.5%, as compared to 0.9% for the same period of 2009. The decrease is mainly attributable to a lower short-term loan balance in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009.
Income Before Income Tax Expense and Noncontrolling Interest. Income before income tax expense and noncontrolling interest increased $8.6 million, or 84.3%, to $18.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $10.2 million in the same period of 2009. Income before income tax expense and noncontrolling interest as a percentage of our revenues increased to 20.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to 14.6% in the same period in 2009, as a result of the factors described above.
Income Tax Expense. Our income tax expense increased to $4.3 million from $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009. The increase in income tax expense was mainly attributable to the expiration of the tax holiday for Great Shengda in 2010 and the increase of income before income tax expense in the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009.
Net income attributable to China Packaging Group Inc. common stockholders.Our net income attributable to China Packaging Group Inc. common stockholders increased $5.3 million, or 59.5%, to $14.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $8.8 million in the same period of 2009 as the result of the above factors.
Taxation
United States
China Packaging is subject to United States tax at a tax rate of 34%. No provision for income taxes in the United States has been made as China Packaging had no taxable income in the United States for the reporting period.
British Virgin Islands
Evercharm was incorporated in the BVI and under the current laws of the BVI, is not subject to income taxes.
PRC
Great Shengda was entitled to a tax holiday of two years beginning in 2008, followed by three years of taxation at half of the normal tax rate. It was subject to income tax at a rate of 12.5% and 25% for calendar years 2009 and 2010, respectively. We expect that Great Shengda will obtain the approval from the PRC Ministry of Science and Technology and qualify as a high-tech company in the fourth quarter of 2010, as a result of which Great Shengda will be entitled to a preferential tax rate of 15% for three years beginning in 2010.
Shengda Color is a manufacturing domestic enterprise and was not entitled to any tax holiday. It was subject to income tax at a rate of 25% for calendar years 2009 and 2010.
10
Hangzhou Shengming is qualified as a manufacturing foreign-invested enterprise and thus was entitled to a tax holiday of two years full-exemption beginning in 2007, followed by three years of taxation at half of the normal tax rate. It is subject to income tax at a rate of 12.5% for calendar years 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Suzhou AA is a manufacturing domestic enterprise and was not entitled to any tax holiday. It was subject to income tax at a rate of 25% for calendar years 2010.
Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, dividends, interest, rent, royalties and gains on transfers of property payable by a foreign-invested enterprise in the PRC to their foreign investors who are non-resident enterprises are subject to a 20% withholding tax, unless the non-resident enterprise’s jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with the PRC that provides for a reduced rate of withholding tax. BVI, where Evercharm was incorporated, and Samoa, where Cheng Loong, holder of 25% equity interest in Hangzhou Shengming until October 29, 2010, was incorporated, each has a tax treaty with the PRC and a reduced rate of 10% withholding tax is applicable to dividends paid out of the net profits generated since January 1, 2008 by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries, to Evercharm and Cheng Loong.
Our future effective income tax rate depends on various factors, such as tax legislation, the geographic composition of our pre-tax income and non-tax deductible expenses incurred. Our management carefully monitors these legal developments and will timely adjust our effective income tax rate when necessary.
We incurred income taxes of $4.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $3.1 million or 248.8% from the income taxes we incurred in the same 2009 period, which were $1.2 million. The increase in income tax expense was mainly attributable to the expiration of the tax holiday for Great Shengda in 2010 and the increase of income before income tax expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $9.2 million in net cash provided by operating activities for the same period in 2009. We experienced significant growth in sales orders due to high market demand in the first three quarters of 2010, which resulted in net income attributable to China Packaging Group Inc. common stockholders of $14.5 million during the period, a $5.2 million increase as compared to the same period in 2009. An increase in the balance of our accounts and notes payable due to our suppliers also contributed to our net cash flow, totaling $11.8 million. However, the increase was offset by (1) an increase in the balances of our accounts and notes receivable, which was in line with the fast growth of our revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, amounting to $9.3 million, (2) an increase in the balance of our inventory due to the increased purchase price of raw materials and increased inventory, amounting to $7.6 million, (3) an increase in the balance of our restricted cash due to the increased notes payable issued to our suppliers, amounting to $6.6 million, and (4) the repayment for the amount due to related party, amounting $2.4 million.
11
We typically grant our customers credit periods ranging from 60 to 90 days. Our average accounts receivable turnover period was 71 days in the first three quarters of 2010, compared to 93 days for the same period in 2009.
We have strict internal control on sales and collection of receivables. Our sales managers assess the background, reputation and liquidity of potential customers before granting credit, and sales managers and sales directors analyze, on a monthly basis, receivables balances and aging of customer accounts. To date, we have not experienced debt collection problems. Accordingly, we do not have a bad debt reserve. We do not anticipate further extending the credit periods to our customers. We believe it will be difficult, at least in the short term, to return to the shorter credit periods in place prior to the global financial and economic crisis during 2008 and 2009, although we did succeed in shortening the average accounts receivable turnover period in the first three quarters of 2010, as compared to the same period of 2009.
Our suppliers generally allow us 45 to 60 days credit. All of our suppliers extend us credit, and our accounts and notes payable have grown with both our revenues and our inventory levels, increasing from $13.8 million at December 31, 2009 to $27.5 million at September 30, 2010. Increased accounts and notes payable in 2010 were also a result of extended average credit periods from our suppliers granted in light of our larger volumes of purchases. We have historically paid our accounts and notes payable on time and do not have past due accounts with our suppliers.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $3.4 million in net cash used in investing activities for the same period in 2009. The increase was mainly attributable to the $3.0 million use to acquire the remaining 25% equity interest in Hangzhou Shengming from Cheng Loong and the acquisition of Suzhou AA in August, 2010 for net cash consideration of $0.2 million. The purchases of property, plant and equipment remained relatively flat at $3.2 million during the first three quarters of 2010, as compared to $3.5 million during the same period of 2009.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $5.5 million used in financing activities for the same period in 2009. The change was mainly due to the net proceeds from the private placement, totaling $4.0 million in May 2010. During the first three quarters of 2010, we received proceeds from short-term loans amounting $11.3 million and repaid short-term loans amounting $10.9 million.

The agreement is for a term of six months. The interest rate is 4.86% per annum, subject to monthly adjustment based on the interest rates of the People’s Bank of China. The loan agreement contains restrictive covenants restricting us during the term of the loan from undertaking any shareholding change or restructuring from mergers and acquisitions or any other joint venture arrangement, major investment, leasing, pledging or mortgaging the borrower’s assets in each case without obtaining prior approval of the lender. The loan agreement also contains covenants that restricts the borrower from withdrawal of capital, asset transfer, or equity transfer during the term of the loan.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial conditions and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605 (formerly Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue recognition”). All of the following criteria must exist in order for the Group to recognize revenue: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.
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.
Accounts and notes receivable
Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original sales amounts less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed.
14
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 nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, 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 for nine months ended September 30, 2010 and year ended December 31, 2009.
Income taxes
We follow ASC Topic 740, (formerly SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for 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.
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.
We adopted ASC Topic 820-10 (formerly SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” ) on January 1, 2008 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.
15
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.
Concentration of Risks
Concentration of Credit Risk
Assets that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, substantially all of our 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 we perform on our customers and its ongoing monitoring process of outstanding balances.
Concentration of Customers
There are no revenues from other customers which individually represent greater than 10% of the total revenues for nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
Current vulnerability due to certain other concentrations
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.
We transact all of our 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, or 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.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In 2010, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued several Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”) – ASU-2010-1 through ASU-2010-26, which do not require adoption until a future date, are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
16
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 the real estate industry, and continually maintain effective cost controls in operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have exposure to several types of market risk: changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. We neither hold nor issue financial instruments for trading purposes nor do we make use of derivative instruments to hedge the risks discussed below. The following sections provide quantitative information on our exposure to market risks. Our use of sensitivity analyses are inherently limited in estimating actual losses in fair value that can occur from changes in market conditions.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
All of our revenues are collected in and substantially all of our expenses are paid in Chinese RMB. We face foreign currency rate translation risks when our results are translated to U.S. dollars. The registered equity capital denominated in the functional currency is translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of capital contribution.
The Chinese RMB was relatively stable against the U.S. dollar at approximately 8.28 RMB to the $1.00 U.S. dollar until July 21, 2005 when the Chinese currency regime was altered resulting in a 2.1% revaluation versus the U.S. dollar. This move initially had the effect of pegging the exchange rate of the RMB at 8.11 RMB per U.S. dollar. Now the RMB exchange rate is no longer linked to the U.S. dollar but rather to a basket of currencies with a 0.3% margin of fluctuation resulting in further appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. Since June 30, 2009, the exchange rate had remained stable at 6.8307 RMB to 1.00 U.S. dollar until June 30, 2010 when the Chinese Central Bank allowed a further appreciation of the RMB by 0.43% to 6.798 RMB to 1.00 U.S. dollar. On November 1, 2010, the RMB traded at 6.6616 to the U.S. dollar.
There remains international pressure on the Chinese government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy and the exchange rate of RMB is subject to changes in China’s government policies which are, to a large extent, dependent on the economic and political development both internationally and locally and the demand and supply of RMB in the domestic market. There can be no assurance that such exchange rate will continue to remain stable in the future amongst the volatility of currencies, globalization and the unstable economies in recent years. Since (i) our income and profit are denominated in RMB, and (ii) the payment of dividends, if any, will be in U.S. dollars, any decrease in the value of the RMB against other foreign currencies would adversely affect the value of the shares and dividends payable to shareholders, in foreign currency terms.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily with respect to our short-term bank loans and long-term bank loans. Although the interest rates, which are based on the banks’ prime rates with respect to our short-term loans are fixed for the terms of the loans, the terms are typically three to twelve months for short-term bank loans and interest rates are subject to change upon renewal. There were no material changes in interest rates for short-term bank loans renewed during the three months ended September 30, 2010.
17
A hypothetical 1.0% increase in the annual interest rates for all of our borrowings at September 30, 2010, would decrease income before income tax expense and noncontrolling interest by approximately $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Management monitors the banks’ prime rates in conjunction with our cash requirements to determine the appropriate level of debt balances relative to other sources of funds. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to interest rate risk.
Commodity Prices
We are generally exposed to commodity price swings. Considering the Company’s ability to pass on to customers certain raw material costs through contractual provisions, the market’s ability to accept price increases and the Company’s commodity price exposures under its contract terms, a hypothetical 10 percent adverse change in the company’s raw material prices could result in an estimated $0.1 million reduction in income before income tax expense and noncontrolling interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, Messrs. Daliang Teng and TJ Wu, respectively, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, our independent auditors noted the following material weaknesses: (1) we have insufficient resources to prevent us from properly performing financial reporting functions and that we do not have sufficient personnel with an appropriate level of competency in the application of U.S. GAAP; and (2) we have not established an audit committee and do not have a fully functioning internal audit department to support our internal control structure.
We are implementing several measures to address the material weaknesses that have been identified and in conjunction with our application to list on The NASDAQ Global Market, including the following:
We have established an audit committee, compensation committee and governance and nominating committee of the board of directors, each of which is made up entirely of independent directors. We expect these board committees to provide independent oversight of the management and operations of the Company. In particular, the audit committee will play an active role in oversight of our financial reporting.
We have already established an internal audit department and we intend to undertake the other recommendations from our auditors. The internal department will be responsible for performing regular internal audit over financial functions and other operation functions.
We have hired a chief financial officer and other accounting personnel who are knowledgeable of U.S. GAAP
We have engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC as an internal control consultant.
We are in the process of setting up a standard chart of accounts and are drafting an accounting manual and closing procedures in accordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting standards.
18
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There are changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting:
We have found suitable candidates for independent directors, and set up the audit committee, compensation committee, and governance and nominating committee.
We have already established an internal audit department and we intend to undertake the other recommendations from our auditors. The internal department will be responsible for performing regular internal audit over financial functions and other operation functions.
We have engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC as an internal control consultant.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Material Agreements
On September 16, 2010, SD Group entered into a Maximum Debt Guarantee Contract with the Xiaoshan Branch of Agriculture Bank of China (“BOC”). Pursuant to this debt guarantee, we can borrow up to RMB 75,000,000 (approximately $11,227,500) from BOC and such amounts borrowed will be guaranteed by SD Group. This debt guarantee expires on March 16, 2011. We filed an English summary of this debt guarantee as Exhibit 10.2 to this quarterly report.
On September 28, 2010, SD Group entered into a Maximum Debt Guarantee Contract with the Xiaoshan Branch of Bank of China (“ABC”). Pursuant to this debt guarantee, we can borrow up to RMB 150,000,000 (approximately $22,095,000) from ABC and such amounts borrowed will be guaranteed by SD Group. This debt guarantee expires on September 28, 2011. We filed an English summary of this debt guarantee as Exhibit 10.1 to this quarterly report.
We use the foregoing debt guarantees as lines of credit. The interest rates for amounts borrowed pursuant to such debt guarantees are negotiated at the time each loan is borrowed. Pursuant to the terms of such debt guarantees, the principal amount borrowed, interest, including penalty and compound interest, any liquidated damages, litigation costs and attorneys’ fees, which may arise from the loans we borrow pursuant to such debt guarantees, are guaranteed by SD Group. If SD Group were to terminate the foregoing debt guarantees, the lender may demand immediate repayment of the amounts borrowed pursuant to the debt guarantees.
Director Agreements
