Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, as determined on a first-in, first-out basis for raw materials and auxiliary materials, and weighted average basis for other categories, or market. Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value, and an allowance is made for writing down the inventories to their market value, if lower.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which are not considered improvements and do not extend the useful life of PP&E, are expensed as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Landfills
Various costs that we incur to make a landfill ready to accept waste are capitalized. These costs generally include expenditures for land, permitting, excavation, liner material and installation and other capital infrastructure costs. The cost basis of our landfill assets also includes estimates of future costs associated with landfill final capping, closure and post-closure activities in accordance with ASC Topic 410 Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations. Interest accretion on final capping, closure and post-closure liabilities is recorded using the effective interest method and is recorded as accretion expense, which is included our Combined and Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
The amortizable basis of a landfill includes (i) amounts previously expended and capitalized; (ii) capitalized landfill final capping, closure and post-closure costs; (iii) projections of future purchase and development costs required to develop the landfill site to its remaining permitted and expansion capacity; and (iv) projected asset retirement costs related to landfill final capping, closure and post-closure activities.
Amortization is recorded on a units-of-consumption basis, applying cost as a rate per ton. The rate per ton is calculated by dividing each component of the amortizable basis of a landfill by the number of tons needed to fill the corresponding asset’s airspace.
Long-term equity investment
As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, long-term investment is comprised of investment in Xiangtan Luyi Dongtai Industrial Waste Treatment Co., Ltd. (“Xiangtan Dongtai”).

As of September 30, 2010, Dalian Dongtai owns a 12.5% equity interest in Xiangtan Dongtai, therefore, the Company applies the cost method to account for its investment.
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with ASC Topic 360 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets”, property, plant, and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Intangible assets are tested for impairment annually. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. 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.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets consist of “rights to use land and build a plant” for 50 years and intellectual property. The intangible assets are amortized using straight – line method. The Company also evaluates intangible assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets, other long-lived assets and, goodwill is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors, including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. The following table summarize the material terms of the land use rights:

The AICPA Issues Paper recommends that governmental grants be accounted for as follows:
i) | Grants related to revenue, such as certain export subsidies and price control subsidies, should be recognized in the period of the related events. |
ii) | Grants to reimburse current expenditures, such as research and development costs, wages, training costs and transportation costs, should be treated as a reduction of current or future related expense, depending on when the related expense is recognized. |
iii) | Grants related to developing property, such as timberlands, or mineral reserves, should be recognized over the useful lives of the assets. |
Government grants are received at a discretionary amount as determined by the local or central PRC government. The Company follows the guideline of the AICPA Issues Paper in accounting for grants as revenues. In general, government grants for revenues and/or expenses should be recognized in income when the related revenue or expense is recorded. Grants related to property or equipment should be recognized over the useful lives of the related asset. Funds received before the conditions of the grant are met should be recorded as deferred revenue.
Stock-based compensation
The Company follows the guideline under ASC Topic 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation for all stock based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights. Stock compensation expenses are to be recorded using the fair value method.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments based on current interest rates, quoted market values or the current price of financial instruments with similar terms. Unless otherwise disclosed herein, the carrying value of financial instruments, especially those with current maturities such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, accrued liabilities, construction projects payable, short term and long term loan are considered to approximate their fair values.
Fair Value Measurements
In April 2009, the FASB released ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (formerly SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”) that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
According to ASC 820, investment measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following hierarchy:
Level 1 - - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level 1 included listed equities and listed derivatives.
Level 2 - - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Investments that are generally included in this category include corporate bonds and loans, less liquid and restricted equity securities and certain over-the-counter derivatives.
Level 3 - - Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.
Income taxes
The Company follows the guideline under ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes. “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.
The Company is subject to the taxes in the United States at tax rate of approximately 42.7%. No provision for the US federal income taxes has been made as the Company had no taxable income in this jurisdiction for the reporting periods.
The Company is subject to the PRC Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) at a rate of 25% on its net income. According to PRC EIT Law, any joint venture with foreign investment will get EIT exemption treatment for the first two years and reduced tax rates of 9%, 10% and 11% for the third, fourth and fifth years, respectively. As a foreign investment enterprise, Dalian Dongtai is subject to EIT at 11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Furthermore, the Law stipulates that enterprises that engage in municipal sewage and sludge treatment business are eligible for special EIT treatment. According to such rules, Dongtai Water and Dongtai Organic is entitled to a three-year EIT exemption treatment starting whenever it generates the first operation revenue, and additional 50% discount on the normal rate for the next three years. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, Dongtai Water and Dongtai Organic have benefited from the EIT exemption preference.

Statement of cash flows
In accordance with ASC Topic 230 Statement of Cash Flows, cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Basic and diluted net earnings per share
Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260 Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2009 financial statements to conform to the 2010 presentation.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Updates No. 2010-21 (ASU No. 2010-21) “Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules” and No. 2010-22 (ASU No. 2010-22) “Accounting for Various Topics – Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs”. ASU No 2010-21 amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of Release no. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies. ASU No. 2010-22 amends various SEC paragraphs based on external comments received and the issuance of SAB 112, which amends or rescinds portions of certain SAB topics. Both ASU No. 2010-21 and ASU No. 2010-22 are effective upon issuance. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-21 and No. 2010-22 will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-20 (ASU No. 2010-20) “Receivables” (Topic 310). ASU No. 2010-20 provides financial statement users with greater transparency about an entity’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financing receivables. This update is intended to provide additional information to assist financial statement users in assessing an entity’s credit risk exposures and evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses. The amendments in this update apply to both public and nonpublic entities with financing receivables, excluding short-term trade accounts receivable or receivables measured at fair value or lower of cost or fair value. The objective of the amendments in ASU No. 2010-20 is for an entity to provide disclosures that facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of (1) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, (2) How that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and (3) The changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. The entity must provide disclosures about its financing receivables on a disaggregated basis. For public entities ASU No. 2010-20 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. For nonpublic entities ASU No. 2010-20 will become effective for annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2011.

Stock Compensation - amendments to clarify that an employee share-based payment award
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-13 “Stock Compensation” (Topic 718). ASU No.2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity's equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this Update should be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be calculated for all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are initially applied, as if the amendments had been applied consistently since the inception of the award. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be presented separately. Earlier application is permitted.
Subsequent Events – Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements
In February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2010-9 Subsequent Events (Topic 855) Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements ("ASU 2010-9"). ASU 2010-9 amends disclosure requirements within Subtopic 855-10. An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between Subtopic 855-10 and the SEC's requirements. ASU 2010-9 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.
Technical Corrections to Various Topics
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASC Update 2010-08, which contains technical corrections to various Topics within the ASC. Those corrections are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after February 2, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of ASC Update 2010-08.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements
In February, 2010, the FASB issued FASB ASC Update 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements,” ASU Update 2010-06 adds new requirements for disclosures of significant transfers into and out of Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the reasons for the transfers and the policy for determining when transfers are recognized. ASU 2010-06 also adds new requirements for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross rather than net basis relating to the reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of Level 3 recurring fair value measurements. It also clarifies the level of disaggregation to require disclosures by “class” rather than by “major category of assets and liabilities” and clarifies that a description of inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value is required for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements classified as Level 2 or 3. ASU Update 2010-06 is effective January 1, 2010 except for the requirements to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis which are effective January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary- a Scope Clarification
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-2 Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary- a Scope Clarification ("ASU 2010-2"). ASU 2010-2 addresses implementation issues related to the changes in ownership provisions in the Consolidation—Overall Subtopic (Subtopic 810-10) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, originally issued as FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. Subtopic 810-10 establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for noncontrolling interests and changes in ownership interests of a subsidiary. An entity is required to deconsolidate a subsidiary when the entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. Upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary, an entity recognizes a gain or loss on the transaction and measures any retained investment in the subsidiary at fair value. The gain or loss includes any gain or loss associated with the difference between the fair value of the retained investment in the subsidiary and its carrying amount at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated. In contrast, an entity is required to account for a decrease in ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a change of control of the subsidiary as an equity transaction. ASU 2010-2 is effective for the Company starting January 3, 2010. The implementation of this issue did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

13. Settlement expense
In February, 2010, the Company and a consulting firm, which provides business advisory and private placement services to the Company, signed a Settlement and Release Agreement (the “Agreement”) to resolve all remaining issues between them. Pursuant to the Agreement, the consulting firm received:
i) | 62,500 shares of free-trading, unrestricted common stock of the Company. |
| |
ii) | A Placement Agent Warrant (denominated as “Unit Purchase Option”) to purchase up to 5 units at 120% of the offering price of the Unit. The original offering price of a Unit was $60,000 at time of offering. Each unit consists of 29, 412 shares of restricted common stock of the Company, “A” warrants to purchase 14,706 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $2.50 and “B” warrants to purchase 14,706 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $3.20. |
As management has determined that the Units are issued in settlement of a dispute between the parties, each Unit is to be valued at its fair value. Utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model resulted in an aggregate fair value of the elements (stock, warrant A and warrant B) of each Unit to be $128,089 ($88,236, $22,016 and $17,837, respectively) or $640,446 for all 5 Units. The following significant assumptions were used in preparing the Black-Scholes calculation assumptions: expected dividend yield 0%; risk-free interest rate of 2.48%; volatility of 89.59% and an expected term of 5 years.
The fair market value of the 62,500 shares of free-trading, unrestricted common stock at issuance date was approximately $159,375. The fair value of 5 Units is $640,446 and the cost of purchase is $360,000. The difference between fair value of all 5 Units and cost of purchase in the amount of $280,446 was charged to expense account during current period. Therefore, the Company recognized a settlement expense of $439,821.

Capital commitment
The Company has purchasing commitments that result from construction contracts and equipment procurement contracts signed for the development of the Centralized Hazardous Waste Treatment Center of Dalian City. As of September 30, 2010, the commitment information is as follows:
Construction | | $ | 2,717,756 | |
Equipment | | | 3,012,399 | |
Total | | $ | 5,730,156 | |
Zhuorui
In March 2009, Zhuorui commenced trial production. Due to the unfavorable market prices for Zhuorui’s final products, including chemical compounds of valuable metals, and imperfections detected in the trial production, the Company decided to suspend the trial production in January 2010 to make improvement on the technical flow prior to market recovery. With the improvement on the technical flow, Zhuorui can generate an additional by-product, which strengthens its profitability and qualifies upgraded emission standards.
The capital expenditure for the improvement is approximately $2.1 million (approximately RMB 14 million), and it is estimated that a four to five months period is necessary to accomplish this improvement. As of November 12, 2010, Zhuorui has spent approximately $1,240,132(RMB 8.3 million) on rotary kiln, heat exchanger; de-sulfate system, dust collector and sewage disposal system. Preparation of the new equipment is in the stage of finalization. Zhuorui expects the commencement of a pilot by the end of December 2010 as the local government has imposed new regulations on issuance of permission for safety reasons.
Despite the advantages brought by this proposed technical improvement, there are possibilities of losses caused by unexpected events, take for example, it costs additional time or fund to accomplish the improvement, the attempt to generate additional by-product fails or the depressing market conditions last longer than our expectation.
18. Subsequent events
The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through November 12, 2010, the date these financial statements were issued, and determined that there were no subsequent events or transactions that required recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
