Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and involve risks and uncertainties that cannot be predicted or quantified and, consequently, our actual performance may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following factors, as well as other factors described from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained therein):

- the cost of attracting and retaining highly skilled personnel;

3. Summary of significant accounting policies
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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 those estimates.
Foreign currency translation
As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, the accounts of the Company were maintained, and the unaudited combined and consolidated financial statements were expressed in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”). Such unaudited combined and consolidated financial statements were translated into U.S. dollars (“USD”) in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 830 Foreign Currency Matters with RMB as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date; stockholders’ equity was translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions; revenues, costs, and expenses were translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are repo rted under other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC Topic 220 Comprehensive Income.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash on deposit, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of threemonths or less.
Restricted cash
In accordance with ASC Topic 210-10-45-4 Classification of Current Assets, cash which is restricted as to withdrawal is considered a non-current asset. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, restricted cash consists of government subsides of $3,129,244 and $96,707, which is to be used exclusively on facility construction and equipment procurement.
Accounts and other receivables
Accounts and other receivables are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed.
The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Payment terms of sales vary from cash on delivery through a credit term of up to nine to twelve months.
Advances to suppliers
The Company makes advances to certain vendors for purchase of its material or equipment. The advances to suppliers are interest free and unsecured.
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. When PP&E are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.
Depreciation is provided to recognize the cost of PP&E in the results of operations. The Company calculates depreciation using the straight-line method with estimated useful life as follows:
| Useful Life |
Buildings | 20 Years |
Machinery | 10-14 Years |
Vehicles | 4 Years |
Office equipment | 3-5 Years |
Construction in progress consists of construction expenditure, equipment procurement, capitalized interest expense, relevant miscellaneous expenditures, and other costs.
As of June 30, 2010, construction in progress is comprised of three principal components. The first component isthe Centralized Hazardous Waste Treatment Center of Dalian City (the “Expansion Project”), which is located in Dagu Hill, Dalian Development Area. The Expansion Project consists of an incineration system that includes an incinerator, its supporting facilities, and warehouses, work plants and office buildings, etc. The second component is the production equipments of Zhuorui, which are still in testing phase, including the plasma furnace, flue gas cleansing system, dust trapper, etc. The third component isthe Hazardous Waste Treatment Center of Changsha City, Hunan Province, which is in the phase of preparation for the commencement of construction.
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 Opera tions 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 June 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 June 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 Topic360 “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 June 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:

Table of Contents
Revenues are generated from the fees charged for waste collection, transfer, treatment, disposal and recycling services and the sale of recycled commodities. The fees charged for services are generally defined in service agreements and vary based on contract specific terms such as frequency of service, weight, volume and the general market factors influencing industry’s rates. Recycled commodities are considered delivered at the point when the customers take ownership and assume risk of loss of the commodities.
Deferred sales consist of contracts for which the fees have been collected but revenue has not yet been recognized in accordance with the revenue recognition policy. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, deferred sales amounted to $355,682 and $958,930, respectively.
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 Topic718 Compensation-Stock Compensationfor 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.
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 six months ended June 30, 2010. Furthermore, the Lawstipulates 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 six months ended June 30, 20 10, 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
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 input s 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 a nd 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.
Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 168”). SFAS No. 168 will become the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), and related accounting literature. SFAS No. 168 reorganizes the thousands of GAAP pronouncements into the FASB ASC, which contains roughly 90 accounting topics and displays them using a consistent structure. Also included is relevant Securities and Exchange Commission guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections. SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial state ments issued for reporting periods that end after September 15, 2009. As the result of SFAS No. 168 the Company’s references to the authoritative accounting literature in these financial statements have been revised to include references to the FASB ASC.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”, which has been codified as an update to FASB ASC Topic 810 which requires ongoing analyses to determine whether an entity’s variable interest gives it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”), making it the primary beneficiary, based on whether the entity (i) has the power to direct activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance, including whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure the VIE operates as designed, and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Enhanced disclosures regarding an entity’s involvement with variable interest entities are also required under the provisions of FASB ASC 810. These requirements are effective January 1, 2010. The adoption of these requirements did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The subsidies are initially recorded as deferred income. Upon the completion and acceptance of the government subsidized projects, subsidies are recognized over the useful lives of the related assets.
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 will receive:
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 theoffering 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.
16
Table of Contents
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.
14. Related parties transactions

16. Commitment and Contingency
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 ofJune 30, 2010, the commitment information is as follows:
Construction | $ | 2,749,952 |
Equipment | | 1,135,944 |
Total | $ | 3,885,896 |
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-month period is necessary to accomplish this improvement. As of August 10, Zhuorui has spent approximately $670,000(approximately RMB 4.6 million) on heat exchanger; de-sulfate system, dust collector and sewage disposal system. Other equipments are under preparation and it is anticipated that contractors will start on-site installation in late August. Zhuorui expects a pilot by the end of September 2010.
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.
17. Subsequent events
On July 1, 2010, Dalian Dongtai received a government subsidy of approximately $0.74 million (RMB 5 million) from the central government of PRC, as a reimbursement of construction cost to the Centralized Hazardous Waste Treatment Center of Dalian City, Liaoning Province.

OVERVIEW
Business
China Industrial Waste Management, Inc., which, through its indirect 90% owned subsidiary, Dalian Dongtai Industrial Waste Treatment Co., Ltd. (“Dalian Dongtai”), has engaged in industrial solid waste treatment since 1991, is now the largest industrial solid waste management enterprise in Northeast China. The Company’s operations are conducted primarily in three areas:
- Industrial Solid Waste Treatment and Recycling: Dalian Dongtai provides services including the collection, storage, transportation, disposal and incineration of industrial waste, as well as the landfill of general and hazardous industrial waste.
- Municipal Sewage Water Treatment:Dalian Dongtai’s 80% subsidiary, Dalian Dongtai Water Recycling Co. Ltd. (“Dongtai Water”), commenced operations in June 2008 to process domestic sewage generated from a portion of Dalian City.
- Municipal sludge treatment (sludge-to-energy):Dalian Dongtai’s 52%-ownedsubsidiary, Dalian Dongtai Organic Waste Treatment Co. Ltd. (“Dongtai Organic”), which became operational in 2009, has implemented the centralized processing of wastewater sludge derived from all sewage treatment plants in urban Dalian City.
Business Model
There were three business units contributing to the Company’s revenue stream in fiscal 2010, i.e. (a) revenue from industrial solid waste (b) sludge treatment which consists of sludge treatment fees and sales of biogas (methane) and (c) sewage treatment. They accounted for 71.4%, 6.5% and 22.1%, respectively, of revenues for the first two quarters of 2010.
(a) Industrial Solid Waste
Dalian Dongtai generates revenues from its receipt of waste management service fees and from sales of recycled commodities. Our diverse customer base includes companies engaged in the electronic, chemical, petrochemical, mechanical treatment, pharmacy, shipbuilding and automobile-making industries, and industrial solid wastes include solvent, remnants of chemical, waste catalysts, grinding fluids, cutting fluids, oily sludge, slag, foundry sand and industrial waste water.
The typical waste management contract with a client is renewable every year, and the service fee charged to the customer is based on the volume of waste produced. Most of our clients make payments on a monthly basis. In the first half of 2010, the Company received approximately $ 4.43 million in solid waste treatment service fees from itscustomers. Revenues from sales of recycled commodities reached $2.02 million in the first half of 2010.

(b) Sludge Treatment
Dongtai Organic operates the first BOT plant in the PRC to implement centralized wastewater sludge processing. During the project’s 20-year franchised period, this sludge-to-energy plant is expected to dispose of the sludge derived from all sewage treatment plants located in urban Dalian City. This plant has a designed capacity of 600 tons/day and is expected to generate approximately 11,000 cubic meters of methane each day once it reaches its full capacity. The project has generated revenues since January 2010 from service fees paid by the local government and from sales of biogas (methane) to Dalian Gas Company, which it uses as a partial supply for cooking fuel in Dalian City. Dongtai Organic’s revenues from both sludge processing fees and sales of biogas are calculated on a volume basis. The payment of sludge processing fees is the responsibility of the local government and is paya ble every quarter while payment for sales of biogas (methane) is made on a monthly basis. Dongtai Organic received approximately $1.16 million from service fees and approximately $0.83 million from sales of biogas (methane) in the first half of 2010.
(c) Sewage Treatment
Dongtai Water, which is a BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) plant with a 20 year franchised right, commenced operations in June 2008 to process domestic sewage generated from a portion of Dalian City. The plant’s designed capacity is 30,000 tons/day and it currently operating at full capacity. The payment of sewage treatment fees, which is based on the volume of waste water processed, is paid by the local government on quarterly basis. Dongtai Water received approximately $0.58 million from service fees in the first half of 2010.
Recent Developments
(a) In order to provide sufficient infrastructure to meet the increasing demand for waste treatment and disposal, an expansion project is now underway to significantly increase Dalian Dongtai’s capacity for waste treatment and disposal. The expansion project, which is one of fifty-five hazardous waste treatment centers sponsored by the National Development and Reform Commission and one of two such centers in Liaoning Province, commenced construction at the end of July 2009. The Company has completed 70% of the construction and expects the project to be operational in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Further information about the expansion of the facility is as follows:
Facility | Description | Capacity |
Existing | After expansion |
Incinerator | Incineration System for Solid Waste | 3,300 t/y | 9,000 t/y |
Hazardous Waste Landfill | Hazardous Waste Safe Landfill | 13,000 t | 40,000 t |
Industrial Effluent Treatment System | Industrial Sewage Treatment | 18,000 t/y | 25,000 t/y |
Organic Solvent Recycling System | Industrial Organic Solvent Product | 1,000 t/y | 3,000 t/y |

Table of Contents
(b)In accordance with Dongtai Organic's agreement with the local government, Dongtai Organic is entitled to process all of the sludge generated from sewage treatment plants in the urban area of Dalian City. Management anticipates that Dalian Organic’s facility will reach its full capacity within one or two years following completion of sewage treatment plants in Dalian City. The 20 year franchise period will not commence until the volume of sludge delivered by local government has reached 70% of the plant’s full capacity, which is 600 tons/day.
Operating Strategy
Our business strategy is designed to increase revenues and earnings through profitable growth and improving returns on invested capital. The components of our strategy include:
- Maintaining commercialization of industrial solid waste treatment as our core business and maintaining a balanced business structure of the three business lines; ;
- Expansion into municipal sludge treatment BOT projects with the goal of 30-40% of our revenues being provided by sludge treatment;
- Promoting the installation of sludge treatment tanks in other cities to seize the market opportunity in the surge of sludge treatment;
- Managing our businesses locally with a strong operating focus and emphasis on customer service;
- Expanding into new geographic markets in China; and
- Maintaining our financial capacity and effective administrative systems and controls to support on-going operations and future growth. We are evaluating growth in our solid waste treatment operations through opportunities to cooperate with prominent domestic or overseas partners and attempts to integrate customer groups (for example, the refinery industry), to realize resource optimization.
We also plan to seek new BOT projects and acquire interests in existing projects, as we believe they can provide us with stable revenues and cash inflows. Furthermore, we believe that a well-operated BOT project will gain attention and social recognition from the local government and business community, which may, in turn, provide additional business opportunities in the Dalian metropolitan area.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We have disclosed in Note 3 to our financial statements those accounting policies that we consider to be significant in determining our results of operations and our financial position which are incorporated by reference herein.
The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories and warranty obligations, on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. The actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The significant accounting policies which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when services are rendered to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as deferred sales.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report.
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009.
Revenues
Our revenue can be divided into two categories, i.e., fees charged to customers for waste collection, transfer, recycling and disposal services (including service fees for sewage and sludge treatment), and sales of recycled commodities (including sales of methane). We consider our collection and disposal operations and reclamation of reusable substances as our core business. Revenues from service fees accounted for 65.5% and 67% of revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The Company’s operating revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 were $4,924,580 and $9,019,421, compared with $2,452,995 and $4,064,946 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.
The Company’s total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $4,924,580, an increase of $2,471,585 or 100.8%, over revenues of $2,452,995 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $9,019,421, which represents an increase of $4,954,475 or 121.88%, over revenues of $4,064,946 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Total | $ | 4,924,580 | | $ | 2,452,995 | | $ | 9,019,421 | | $ | 4,064,946 |
Notes:
(1) Consists of service fees generated from industrial solid waste treatment, sewage treatment and sludge treatment.
(2) Cupric sulfate, which is included in the sales of recycled commodities, was segmented previously because its sales account for more than10% of total revenue.
(3) Sales of biogas (methane), which is a new revenue source provided by Dongtai Organic, is included in sales of recycled commodities.
The increase in revenues is mainly attributable to:
22
Table of Contents
(a) The rally in the overall industrial solid waste business. Service fees generated from industrial solid waste treatment increased from $1,387,847 in the second quarter of 2009 to $2,393,946 in the same period in 2010, a net increase of $1,006,099 or 72.5%. In addition, sales of recycled commodities (excluding sales of methane) increased from $810,247 to $1,281,919. This increase is a natural consequence of a recovering production scale of our clients who suffered from the adverse impact of the global economic recession and corresponding world financial crisis which severely impacted the Company’s primary business. We expect this trend to continue for the balance of 20 10.
(b) The additional revenue generated by Dongtai Organic from municipal sludge treatment, as well as sales of Biogas (methane), a byproduct derived from sludge fermentation.
1. Service fees
Service fees increased from $1,642,748 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $3,226,923 for the same period of 2010, an increase of $1,584,175, or 96.43%. The increase is attributable to (a) the $1,006,098 or 72.5% increase in service fees generated from industrial solid waste treatment business and (b) the addition of $577,813 generated from sludge treatment fee, which accounts for 17.9% of service fees in total. Service fees for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $6,171,481, an increase of $3,331,034 or 117.3% from $2,840,447 over service fees of $2,840,447 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Since its commencement of operations in late 2009, Dongtai Organic continues to function stably. In the first half of 2010, Dongtai Organic generated $1,992,449 in sludge treatment fees and sales of methane. Dongtai Organic was not operating during the same period in 2009.
2. Sales of recycled commodities
As China’s economy appears to be recovering from the global rescission, prices for many raw materials have been continuously increasing, including for Dalian Dongtai’s main products, cupric sulfate and other types of recycled commodities, such as iron, plastic and nonferrous metal. For example, the average price for cupric sulfate in the second quarter of 2010 was about $1,700/ton, while the average price for the same period of 2009 was approximately $1,160/ton, an increase of approximately 46.55%. Many of our customers have returned to their pre-recession production levels. As a natural consequence of our customers’ recovery, the amount of recycled commodities collected from our clients increased as well. To optimize on this situation, Dalian Dongtai has increased the sales volume of recycled commodities, including commodities that had been inventoried during 2009 due to the low sales prices. Dalian Dongtai generated $1,281,919 and $2,018,698 for three months and six months end of June 30 2010 from sales of recycled commodities (excluding sales of methane) which increased by $477,033 or 58.9% and $799,561 or 65.3%, respectively, from $810,247 and $1,224,498 for the same quarters in 2009.
In the first half of 2010, Dongtai Organic generated $829,242 in revenue from sales of biogas (methane), a by-product, whereas there was no such revenue in the first half of 2009.
Cost of Revenues
The Company’s cost of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 were $1,871,896 and $3,288,847, compared with $878,238 and $1,606,088 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

During the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009 conducted during the preparation of the Company’s financial statements included in its annual report on Form 10-K, a material weakness in internal controls was identified. As a result of this material weakness the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2009 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
A material weakness is “a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5), in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.” The Company’s management concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, the following material weakness existed:
- We had an insufficient familiarity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”)
- The Company was unable to ensure that all information required to be disclosed in our filings was accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
- The Company lacks qualified resources to perform the internal audit functions properly; and the scope and effectiveness of the Company’s internal audit function are yet to be developed.
Since January 2, 2010 we have engaged in substantial efforts to improve our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures related to many areas of our financial statements and disclosures. In order to remediate the material weakness identified as of December 31, 2009, during the first quarter of 2010 we have:
- Commenced the process by which we will become better informed about US GAAP
- Engaged an accountant with experience in the industry and continue our search for additional accounting and financial personnel with industry experience.
Notwithstanding the remedial actions we have undertaken since December 31, 2009, because of the scope of the material weakness that existed at December 31, 2009, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures at June 30, 2010 were not effective. Our efforts to remediate our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are continuing and are expected to continue throughout fiscal 2010. Until such time, however, as our efforts to remediate this weakness, there remains a risk that we will fail to identify weaknesses or adequately correct any identified weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, both as they relate to the material weakness identified at December 31, 2009 and to other possible areas.
Notwithstanding the existence of this material weakness in disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting at June 30, 2010, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 in conformity with US GAAP.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
LACK OF SEGREGATION OF DUTIES
Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at the Company due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters. However, at this time management has decided that considering the abilities of the employees now involved and the control procedures in place, the risks associatedwith such lack of segregation are low and the potential benefits of adding employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the substantial expenses associated with such increases. Management will periodically reevaluate this situation.
