CHINA INDUSTRIAL WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.
1. Nature of operations
The unaudited consolidated financial statements are those of China Industrial Waste Management, Inc., a Nevada corporation incorporated on November 12, 2003 and formerly known as Goldtech Mining Corporation (the “Company”), its 100% owned subsidiary, DonTech Waste Services, a Delaware corporation incorporated in November 2005 (“DonTech”), and its indirect majority owned subsidiaries, Dalian Dongtai Industrial Waste Treatment Co. Ltd. (“Dongtai”), Dongtai Water Recycling Co. Ltd. (“Dongtai Water”) and Dalian Zhuorui Resource Recycling Co., Ltd. (“Zhuorui”).
Dongtai was incorporated on January 9, 1991 in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). As of September 30, 2007 Dongtai has three subsidiaries -Dongtai Water, Zhuorui and Dongtai Organic Waste Treatment Co. Ltd. (“Dongtai Organic”), each of which was formed under the laws of the PRC. Dongtai is located in the Economic and Technology Development Zone, Dalian, PRC. Dongtai is engaged in the collection, treatment, disposal and recycling of industrial waste in China. Dongtai recovers all types of industrial wastes which can be used as raw material to produce chemical and metallurgy products. Dongtai also provides incineration, burial, and water treatment services. Dongtai also provides service for environment protection, technology consultation, pollution treatment, and waste managing process design.
Liaoyang Dongtai was incorporated on March 22, 2006. Dongtai has a 60% interest in this subsidiary. Liaoyang Dongtai is located in Liaoyang, PRC and is engaged in the business of the collection, treatment, disposal and recycling of industrial wastes. In July 14, 2007, Liaoyang Dongtai was dissolved and liquidated.
|
Dongtai Water was incorporated in July 2006 and Dongtai acquired 18% of the equity of such company in such month. On July 16, 2007 Dongtai acquired an additional 62% of the equity of Dongtai Water, which was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control. Dongtai Water is a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) project, designed to process polluted water generated by the city of Dalian.
Zhuorui was incorporated in April 2006 and is engaged in plasma arc melting, separation and purification of waste catalysts, treatment of industrial wastes and comprehensive utilization of waste catalysts or similar material. In August 2007, Dongtai acquired 70% of the equity of Zhuorui from a related company, controlled by Mr. Dong Jinqing, CEO and CFO of the company, at the price of RMB 7 million, which was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control.
On March 2, 2007, the Company purchased 49% of the equity of Dongtai Organic, a newly formed company which is also a BOT project, engaged in municipal sludge treatment in Dalian. Dongtai Organic will operate for the next 20 years. The investment in Dongtai Organic is accounted for using the equity method.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of China Industrial Waste Management, Inc., a Nevada corporation, its 100% owned subsidiary, DonTech Waste Services Inc., a Delaware corporation, its 90% indirectly owned subsidiary, Dalian Dongtai Industrial Waste Treatment Co., Ltd., a PRC company, its 80% indirectly owned subsidiary, Dongtai Water Recycling Co. Ltd., a PRC company and its 70% indirectly owned subsidiary, Dalian Zhuorui Resource Recycling Co., Ltd., a PRC company. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). This basis differs from that used in the statutory accounts of the Company, which were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises in the PRC. All necessary adjustments have been made to present the financial statements in accordance with US GAAP.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Economic and Political Risks
The Company faces a number of risks and challenges as a result of having primary operations and markets in the PRC. Changing political climates in the PRC could have a significant effect on the Company’s business.
|
Foreign currency translation
As of September 30, 2007 and 2006, the accounts of the Company were maintained, and the consolidated financial statements were expressed in the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”). Such consolidated financial statements were translated into U.S. dollars (“USD”) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation,” with the RMB as the functional currency. According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity was translated at the historical rates and the statement of operations items were translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.”
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.
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 three months or less.
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. Allowance for uncollectible accounts as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 is $21,364 and $20,550, respectively.
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. Terms of the sales vary from COD through a credit term of up to nine to twelve months. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.
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, or market. Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value, and allowance is made for writing down the inventories to their market value, if lower.
|
Property, equipment and construction in progress
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment 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 operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as follows:
| |
Buildings | 30 Years |
Machinery | 10 Years |
Vehicles | 8 Years |
Office equipment | 5 Years |
Construction in progress consists of the design expenses, architect fee and cost of the equipment to treat waste.
Landfills
Cost Basis of Landfill Assets — We capitalize various costs that we incur to make a landfill ready to accept waste. 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 SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (“SFAS No. 143”) and its Interpretations.
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 Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Amortization of Landfill Assets — 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.
Liabilities for landfill and environmental remediation costs are presented in the table below:
| | | | | | | | |
| | As of | |
| | September 30, 2007 | | | December 31, 2006 | |
| | | | | | |
Long-term | | $ | 418,458 | | | | 381,873 | |
Long-term investment
Invested company | | Equity acquired | | | Balance as of September 30, 2007 | | | Balance as of December 31, 2006 | |
Dongtai Organic | | | 49% | | | | 2,609,576 | | | | 0 | |
Total | | | | | | | 2,609,576 | | | | 0 | |
Long-term investments are recorded under the equity method. Dongtai Organic is constructing and will operate a sludge treatment and disposal facility in Dalian, PRC, of which the investment is recorded under the equity method.
Asset impairments
We monitor the carrying value of our long-lived assets for potential impairment and test the recoverability of such assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Typical indicators that an asset may be impaired include:
• A significant decrease in the market price of an asset or asset group;
• A significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset or asset group is being used or in its physical condition;
• A significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of an asset or asset group, including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator;
• An accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset;
• Current period operating or cash flow losses combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset or asset group; or
• A current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset or asset group will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life.
|
If any of these or other indicators occurs, the asset is reviewed to determine whether there has been an impairment. An impairment loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. If significant events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable, we perform a test of recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset or asset group to its undiscounted expected future cash flows. If cash flows cannot be separately and independently identified for a single asset, we will determine whether an impairment has occurred for the group of assets for which we can identify the projected cash flow. If the carrying values are in excess of undiscounted expected future cash flows, we measure any impairment by comparing the fair value of the asset or asset group to its carrying value. Fair value is determined by either an internally developed d iscounted projected cash flow analysis of the asset or asset group or an actual third-party valuation. If the fair value of an asset or asset group is determined to be less than the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, an impairment in the amount of the difference is recorded in the period that the impairment indicator occurs.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets consist of “Rights to use land and build a plant” for fifty years. The intangible assets are amotized straight - line over fifty years. 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.
Net intangible assets on September 30, 2007 were $1,557,165. Such assets consist entirely of a right to use land of $1,730,782, less accumulated amortization of $173,617.
Discontinued operations
Due to a lack of progress of Liaoyang Dongtai in developing a local market for its services, the Board of Directors of the company decided to dissolve and liquidate Liaoyang Dongtai in July 2007.
Before termination, Liaoyang Dongtai’s major asset was cash, in the amount of RMB 399,989. Since Liaoyang Dongtai never generated any revenue, there was no tax incurred, and the expenses from its operations were accounted for as sundry expenses.
Dongtai recovered RMB 260,000 (USD $33,934) from the disposal of the investment in Liaoyang Dongtai. Dongtai’s book value in the investment was RMB 300,000 (USD $39,155). Therefore, Dongtai incurred a total loss from the disposal of RMB 40,000 (USD $5,221).

Minority interest
Minority interest represents the minority owners’ 10% equity interest in Dongtai, 20% equity interest in Dongtai Water and 30% equity interest in Zhuorui.
Fair value of financial instruments
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Revenue recognition
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104.
Our revenues are generated from the fees we charge for waste collection, transfer, disposal and recycling services and the sale of recycled commodities. The fees charged for our services are generally defined in our 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. We generally recognize revenue as services are performed or products are delivered.
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 September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 deferred sales amounted to $607,249 and $455,548, respectively.
Advertising costs
The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred or, as appropriate, the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were immaterial.
Stock-based compensation
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.123(R) which prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights. SFAS No. 123(R) requires compensation expense to be recorded using the fair value method.
|
Income taxes
The Company utilizes 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.
Local PRC income tax
The Company is subject to the PRC Enterprise Income Tax at a rate of 30% on its net income. According to a PRC ruling, any joint venture with foreign investment will get special tax exempt treatment for the first two years.
Statement of cash flows
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (“SFAS No. 128), “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.
Contingent liabilities
We estimate the amount of potential exposure we may have with respect to claims, assessments and litigation in accordance with SFAS No. 5. We are party to pending or threatened legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters in various jurisdictions. It is not always possible to predict the outcome of litigation, as it is subject to many uncertainties. Additionally, it is not always possible for management to make a meaningful estimate of the potential loss or range of loss associated with such litigation.

4. New accounting pronouncement
SFAS No. 157 — Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. We are currently in the process of assessing the provisions of SFAS No. 157 and determining how this framework for measuring fair value will affect our current accounting policies and procedures and our financial statements.
5. Restatements
During the preparation of the financial statements for three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company received a comment letter from the Office of the Chief Accountant of the Division of Corporation Finance of Securities and Exchange Commission regarding certain disclosures in the Company’s previously filed periodic reports. The Company determined that its asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) had not been properly accounted for and also that its subsidiary, Liaoyang Dongtai, had not been consolidated while preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP contained in such reports.
During the preparation of the financial statements for three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company became the majority shareholder of Dongtai Water and Zhuorui through additional acquisition of equity of both companies. The acquisitions are considered to be reorganizations of entities under common control according to GAAP. Therefore, as the acquiring entity, the Company has restated its December 31, 2006 balance sheet as though the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2006.
The Company has therefore restated its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, its consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and its consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The effects of the restatements are shown in the following tables.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") includes forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this MD&A regarding the Company's financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management of the Company for future operations are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of the Company's control that could cause actual results to materially differ from such statements. While the Company believes that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in predicting certain important factors, especially the timing and magnitude of technological advances; the prospects for future acquisitions; the possibility that a cu rrent customer could be acquired or otherwise be affected by a future event that would diminish their waste management requirements; the competition in the waste management industry and the impact of such competition on pricing, revenues and margins; uncertainties surrounding budget reductions or changes in funding priorities of existing government programs and the cost of attracting and retaining highly skilled personnel.

Overview
Historically, the Company engaged in two lines of business: (a) the exploration and development of potential mining properties, and (b) the development, marketing and support of computer software products and services. In September 2004, the Company sold its computer business. Since September 2005, the Company has no longer been in the mining business due to its loss of all its contractual rights in certain mining properties in Spain.
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, DonTech Waste Services Inc. (formerly, Dalian Acquisition Corp.), a Delaware corporation (“DonTech”), holds 90% of the capital stock of Dalian Dongtai Industrial Waste Treatment Co., Ltd., a corporation located in Dalian, the People’s Republic of China, or PRC (“Dongtai”). As a result of the acquisition, the Company is now engaged in the waste management business, and Dongtai currently represents the primary operations and business of the Company.
Dongtai was one of the first companies specializing in the centralized treatment of industrial waste in the PRC. Dongtai is engaged in the collection, treatment, disposal and recycle of all types of industrial wastes. It provides a wide range of waste treatment services to diversified customers. Dongtai uses industrial waste as a raw material to produce chemical and metallurgy products or incinerates, buries, or treats the waste.
Dongtai also provides waste disposal solutions, waste transportation services, realty management services and environmental pollution remediation services to its clients.
On March 22, 2006, Dongtai and two other shareholders formed a subsidiary, Liaoyang Dongtai Industrial Waste Treatment Co., Ltd. (“Liaoyang Dongtai”) in the PRC, in which Dongtai held a 60% ownership interest. Liaoyang Dongtai was also engaged in the collection, treatment, disposal and recycling of industrial waste. On July 14, 2007, Liaoyang Dongtai was dissolved and liquidated. However, Dongtai intends through other means to maintain its efforts to develop a local market for industrial waste treatment in and around Liaoyang city.
Dongtai Water Recycling Co. Ltd (“Dongtai Water”) was incorporated in July 2006, when Dongtai had acquired 18% of the equity of such company. On July 16, 2007 Dongtai purchased an additional 62% of the equity of Dongtai Water. Dongtai Water is a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) project, designed to process polluted water generated by the city of Dalian.
On March 2, 2007, the Company purchased 49% of the equity of Dongtai Organic Waste Treatment Co. Ltd. (“Dongtai Organic”), which is also a BOT project, engaged in municipal sludge treatment in Dalian. Dongtai Organic will operate for the next 20 years.
We believe that BOT projects, like Dongtai Water and Dongtai Organic, can provide us with stable revenues and cash inflows. Furthermore, we believe that a well-operated BOT project would gain attention and social recognition from the local government and business community, which would, in turn, help expand our business in the Dalian metropolitan area.
|
Dalian Zhuorui Resource Recycling Co., Ltd. (“Zhuorui”) was incorporated in April 2006 and is engaged in plasma arc melting, separation and purification of waste catalysts, treatment of industrial wastes and comprehensive utilization of waste catalysts or similar material. In August, 2007, Dongtai acquired 70% of the equity of Zhuorui from a related company, controlled by Mr. Dong Jinqing, the CEO and CFO of the Company, at the price of RMB 7 million. We believe that the acquisition of Zhuorui will improve the Company’s capacity as well as its profitability in treating waste catalyst.
On March 31, 2006, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a definitive information statement on Schedule 14C in which it notified stockholders of its intention to make the following changes:
| |
· | to change the name of the Company to China Industrial Waste Management, Inc. and apply for a new trading symbol of CIWT.OB. |
| |
· | to authorize the Board of Directors to effect a one-for-one hundred (1:100) reverse stock split of the outstanding shares ofCommon Stock (the "Reverse Split"). |
| |
· | to approve the Company's 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. |
The name change and the reverse stock split became effective on May 12, 2006.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report.
Nine months and Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to the Nine months and Three Months Ended September 30, 2006
We generate revenue primarily from two sources, namely, fees charged to customers for waste collection, transfer, recycling and disposal services and that from the sale of recycled materials. We consider our collection and disposal operations and reclamation of reusable substances as our core business.
Revenues.
The Company’s operating revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $2,324,583 and $6,471,818, respectively, compared with $1,367,553 and $4,404,643 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

The increase in revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 is primarily due to a 48.8% increase in sales of recycled products compared with the same period in 2006 and a 45% increase in service fees.
The increase in sales of recycled products in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 included a 57.5% increase in sales of cupric sulfate as a result of both higher unit prices and greater volume and a 43.8% increase in sales of other recycled products. The increase in revenues from service fees was driven by an increase in the number of our customers for waste processing services and increased demand for our services from existing customers.
The increase in revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 is primarily due to a 13.4% increase in sales of recycled products compared with the same period in 2006 and a 177.7% increase in service fees.
The increase in revenues from service fees mainly result from increased demand for our services from existing customers.

The cost of service fees increased by $664,147 or 45.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and by $279,307 or 58.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006 as the Company paid more in salaries to additional staff hired to accommodate the rapid expansion of our business. Likewise, the Company had to procure more vehicles to service increased demand which triggered an increase in depreciation, expenditures on reparations and other expenses relating to shipping. Meanwhile, the Company also leased more facilities to conduct its growing operations.
The cost of reclaimed products (which includes cost of cupric sulfate and cost of other recycled commodities) for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased by 32.5% and 42.1%, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2006. Such increase is attributable to a sharp increase in the price of raw materials.
Selling Expenses.
Total selling expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased by 103% over such expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and rose by 93.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared with the same period in 2006. The increases in selling expenses were principally attributable to increased sales related tax accruals relating to our increased revenue and also increased depreciation expense and freight charges due to the increase in our depreciable assets and the expansion of our business.
General and Administrative Expenses.
In comparison with the same periods in 2006, the general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased by 1.73% and 27.7%, respectively.
As a result of an increase in salaries paid to our employees, payroll increased by 30% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Depreciation increased by 41.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to same period in 2006 as a result of the increase in other fixed assets.
The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006 was due to different periods when accrued bonuses for our employees were recorded; in 2007, the accrued bonuses were recorded in second quarter, while in 2006 the same item was recorded in third quarter. This situation resulted in a 47.7% decrease in employee’s bonuses in 2007 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2006.

The retroactive restatement of Dongtai Water and Zhuorui contributed to an increase of $87,791 and $172,578 in the general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.

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 collectibility is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as deferred sales.
Property, Plant and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are required or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations.
Bad Debts. 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. Terms of the sales vary from COD through a credit term of up to nine to twelve months. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.

Based upon that evaluation, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in alerting them in a timely manner to information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in this report. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter or any subsequent interim period that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
