1.    ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Shengkai Innovations, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on December 8, 2004. Prior to June 9, 2008 the company has only nominal operations and assets. On October 23, 2008, the Company changed its name from Southern Sauce Company, Inc. to Shengkai Innovations, Inc.

On June 9, 2008, the Company executed a reverse-merger with Shen Kun International Limited (“Shen Kun”) by an exchange of shares whereby the Company issued 20,550,000   common shares at $0.001 par value in exchange for all Shen Kun shares.

The exchange transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations” (formerly included under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations). For financial reporting purposes, this transaction is classified as a recapitalization of the Company and Shen Kun. The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements were retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the recapitalization of the financial statements of the Company and the historical financial statements of Shen Kun. The 1,562,500 shares of Shengkai Innovations, Inc. outstanding prior to this stock exchange transaction were accounted for at the net book value at the time of the transaction, which was a deficit of $62,206. The consolidated statements of income include the results of operations of Tianjin Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Co., Ltd for the periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Shen Kun formed Sheng Kai (Tianjin) Ceramic Valves Co., Ltd., which was renamed to Shengkai (Tianjin) Limited in April 2010 (“SK” or “WFOE”), which entered into a series of agreements with Tianjin Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Co., Ltd (“Shengkai”) including but not limited to consigned management, technology service, loan, exclusive purchase option, equity pledge, etc. The agreements were entered on May 30, 2008. As a result of entering the abovementioned agreements, WFOE deem to control Shengkai as a Variable Interest Entity as required by FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised MARCH 2003) Consolidated of Variable Interest Entities, and Interpretation of ARB No. 51. In connection with the reverse merger transaction, on June 11, 2008 the Company sold 5,915,526 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of $15,000,000, at a price of $2.5357 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Southern Sauce Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), convertible into one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one Series A Warrant to purchase Common Stock equal to 120% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (“Warrant”). Additionally, on July 18, 2008, the Company sold 1,971,842 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,000,000, at a price of $2.5357 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Preferred Share, convertible into one share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and one Warrant to purchase Common Stock equal to 120% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares.

The Company, through its subsidiaries and Shengkai, (hereinafter, collectively referred to as “the Group”), is now in the business of manufacturing and sale of industrial ceramic valves and components.

The Group’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Group’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
 
 
(e)
Pledged deposits

(f)
Plant and equipment
 
Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(h)
Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets

The Group periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances warrant such a review, pursuant to the guidelines established in ASC350. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost to dispose.

During the reporting periods, there was no impairment loss.

(i) Inventories

 
Inventories consist of finished goods, work in progress and raw materials, and stated at the lower of cost or market value. Substantially all inventory costs are determined using the weighted average basis. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead. The management regularly evaluates the composition of its inventory to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine if additional write-downs are required.

(j) Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of nine months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains bank accounts in the U.S.A., mainland China and Hong Kong.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(k)
Revenue recognition

Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold recognized upon the delivery of goods to customers. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:

- Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
- Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
- The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and
- Collection is reasonably assured.

 
Net revenue is recognized when customer takes delivery and acceptance of products, the price is fixed or determinable as stated on sales contract, and the collectability is reasonably assured.

(l) Costs of sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of direct material costs, direct labor cost, direct depreciation and related direct expenses attributable to the production of products.  Written-down of inventory to lower of cost or market is also reflected in cost of revenues.

(m)
Research and development costs

The Company expensed all research and development costs as incurred. Research and development expenses included in the general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $659,134 and $491,884 respectively.

(n)
Retirement benefit plans

 
The employees of the Company are members of a state-managed retirement benefit plan operated by the government of the PRC.  The Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll costs to the retirement benefit scheme to fund the benefits.  The only obligation of the Company with respect to the retirement benefit plan is to make the specified contributions.

Retirement benefits in the form of contributions under defined contribution retirement plans to the relevant authorities are charged to the statements of income as incurred. The retirement benefit expenses included in the general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $101,962 and $26,875 respectively.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(o)
Income tax

The Group accounts for income tax using an asset and liability approach and allows for recognition of deferred tax benefits in future years.  Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Group is able to realize their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.

(p)
Foreign currency translation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. SK and Shengkai use its local currency, Renminbi (RMB), as its functional currency. Results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the end of period exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

The PRC government imposes significant exchange restrictions on fund transfers out of the PRC that are not related to business operations. These restrictions have not had a material impact on the Group because it has not engaged in any significant transactions that are subject to the restrictions.

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into USD for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:

March 31, 2010
 
Balance sheet
RMB 6.83610 to US$1.00
Statements of income and comprehensive income
RMB 6.83773 to US$1.00
   
June 30, 2009
 
Balance sheet
RMB 6.84480 to US$1.00
Statements of income and comprehensive income
RMB 6.84819 to US$1.00
   
March 31, 2009
 
Balance sheet
RMB 6.84560 to US$1.00
Statements of income and comprehensive income
RMB 6.85094 to US$1.00

The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions.  No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rates used in translation.

(q)
Cash and concentration of risk

Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in bank accounts maintained in the U.S.A., mainland China and Hong Kong. Total cash in the banks at March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009 amounted to $ 22,933,653 and $ 38,982,722 respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant financial institution risks on its cash in bank accounts. Also see Note 3 for credit risk details.

(r)
Statutory reserves

As stipulated by the PRC’s Company Law and as provided in SK and Shengkai’s Articles of Association, SK and Shengkai’s net income after taxation can only be distributed as dividends after appropriation has been made for the following:

 
(i)
Making up cumulative prior years’ losses, if any;
 
(ii)
Allocations to the “Statutory surplus reserve” of at least 10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, until the fund amounts to 50% of the Company's registered capital, which is restricted for set off against losses, expansion of production and operation or increase in registered capital;
 
(iii)
Allocations of 5-10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to the Company's “Statutory common welfare fund”, which is restricted for capital expenditure for the collective benefits of the Company's employees; and
 
(iv)
Allocations to the discretionary surplus reserve, if approved in the shareholders’ general meeting.

On December 31, 2003, Shengkai established a statutory surplus reserve as well as a statutory common welfare fund and commenced to appropriate 10% and 5%, respectively of the PRC net income after taxation to these reserves. The amounts included in the statutory reserves were surplus reserve of $7,081,706 and $4,693,020 respectively, as of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009.

(s)
Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.  Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements.  The Company’s current component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.

ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASC 105”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 ) reorganized by topic existing accounting and reporting guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) into a single source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to be applied by nongovernmental entities. All guidance contained in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) carries an equal level of authority. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Accordingly, all other accounting literature will be deemed “non-authoritative”. ASC 105 is effective on a prospective basis for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company has implemented the guidance included in ASC 105 as of July 1, 2009. The implementation of this guidance changed the Company’s references to GAAP authoritative guidance but did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
ASC 855, Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events ) includes guidance that was issued by the FASB in May 2009, and is consistent with current auditing standards in defining a subsequent event. Additionally, the guidance provides for disclosure regarding the existence and timing of a company’s evaluation of its subsequent events. ASC 855 defines two types of subsequent events, “recognized” and “non-recognized”. Recognized subsequent events provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet and are required to be reflected in the financial statements. Non-recognized subsequent events provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date and, therefore; are not required to be reflected in the financial statements. However, certain non-recognized subsequent events may require disclosure to prevent the financial statements from being misleading. This guidance was effective prospectively for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company implemented the guidance included in ASC 855 as of April 1, 2009. The effect of implementing this guidance was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Recently implemented standards (Continued)

ASC 944, Financial Services – Insurance (“ASC 944”) contains guidance that was previously issued by the FASB in May 2009 as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60 that provides for changes to both the recognition and measurement of premium revenues and claim liabilities for financial guarantee insurance contracts that do not qualify as a derivative instrument in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (formerly included under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities) . This financial guarantee insurance contract guidance also expands the disclosure requirements related to these contracts to include such items as a company’s method of tracking insured financial obligations with credit deterioration, financial information about the insured financial obligations, and management’s policies for placing and monitoring the insured financial obligations. ASC 944, as it relates to financial guarantee insurance contracts, was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, except for certain disclosures related to the insured financial obligations, which were effective for the third quarter of 2009. The Company does not have financial guarantee insurance products, and, accordingly, the implementation of this portion of ASC 944 did not have an effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
 
ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) (formerly included under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations ) contains guidance that was issued by the FASB in December 2007. It requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value, with certain exceptions. Additionally, the guidance requires changes to the accounting treatment of acquisition related items, including, among other items, transaction costs, contingent consideration, restructuring costs, indemnification assets and tax benefits. ASC 805 also provides for a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. ASC 805 also contains guidance that was formerly issued as FSP FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies which was intended to provide additional guidance clarifying application issues regarding initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. ASC 805 was effective for business combinations initiated on or after the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company implemented this guidance effective July 1, 2009. Implementing this guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations; however it will likely have an impact on the Company’s accounting for future business combinations, but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions, if any, that are made in the future.

(u)
Recently issued standards
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (“Statement No. 166”). Statement No. 166 revises FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Extinguishment of Liabilities a replacement of FASB Statement 125 (“Statement No. 140”) and requires additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and any continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It also eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity”, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and enhances disclosure requirements. Statement No. 166 is effective prospectively, for annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009, and interim and annual periods thereafter. Although Statement No. 166 has not been incorporated into the Codification, in accordance with ASC 105, the standard shall remain authoritative until it is integrated. The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement No. 166 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
 
In June 2009, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“Statement No. 167”). Statement No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46R”) to require an analysis to determine whether a company has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has a) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. The statement requires an ongoing assessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity when the holders of the entity, as a group, lose power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the actions that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance. This statement also enhances disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest entities. Statement No. 167 is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. Although Statement No. 167 has not been incorporated into the Codification, in accordance with ASC 105, the standard shall remain authoritative until it is integrated. The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement No. 167 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value (“ASC Update No. 2009-05”). This update amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and provides further guidance on measuring the fair value of a liability. The guidance establishes thetypes of valuation techniques to be used to value a liability when a quoted market price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, such as the use of an identical or similar liability when traded as an asset. The guidance also further clarifies that a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are both Level 1 fair value measurements. If adjustments are required to be applied to the quoted price, it results in a level 2 or 3 fair value measurement. The guidance provided in the update is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance. The Company does not expect that the implementation of ASC Update No. 2009-05 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) (“ASC Update No. 2009-12”). This update sets forth guidance on using the net asset value per share provided by an investee to estimate the fair value of an alternative investment. Specifically, the update permits a reporting entity to measure the fair value of this type of investment on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) if all or substantially all of the underlying investments used in the calculation of the net asset value is consistent with ASC 820. The update also requires additional disclosures by each major category of investment, including, but not limited to, fair value of underlying investments in the major category, significant investment strategies, redemption restrictions, and unfunded commitments related to investments in the major category. The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009 with early application permitted. The Company does not expect that the implementation of ASC Update No. 2009-12 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 amends ASC Topic 820 to require the following additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements: (i) the amounts of transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; (ii) reasons for any transfers in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and (iii) the inclusion of information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements. ASU 2010-06 also amends ASC Topic 820 to clarify existing disclosure requirements, requiring fair value disclosures by class of assets and liabilities rather than by major category and the disclosure of valuation techniques and inputs used to determine the fair value of Level 2 and Level 3 assets and liabilities. With the exception of disclosures relating to purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of recurring Level 3 measurements, ASU 2010-06 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The disclosure requirements related to purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of recurring Level 3 measurements will be effective for financial statements for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU 2010-06 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

3.       CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS

Financial instruments which potentially expose the Group to concentrations of credit risk, consists of cash and accounts receivable as of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009. The Group performs ongoing evaluations of its cash position and credit evaluations to ensure sound collections and minimize credit losses exposure.

As of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, almost all the Group’s bank deposits were conducted with banks in the PRC where there is currently no rule or regulation mandated on obligatory insurance of bank accounts. Relatively small bank deposits were maintained with the banks in the U.S.A and Hong Kong.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, more than 99% of the Group’s sales were generated from the PRC. In addition, nearly all accounts receivable as of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, also arose in the PRC.

The maximum amount of loss exposure due to credit risk that the Group would bear if the counter parties of the financial instruments fail to perform represents the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheet.

Normally the Group does not require collateral from customers or debtors.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, there was no single customer who accounts for 10% or more of the Group’s revenue.

Details of customers accounting for 10% or more of the Group’s accounts receivable were as follows:

   
March 31, 2010
   
June 30, 2009
 
             
Customer A
  $ -     $ 655,755  
                 
Customer B
    -       438,067  

As at March 31, 2010, there was no customer who accounts for 10% or more of the Group’s accounts receivable.
 
4.       PLEDGED DEPOSITS

10.  PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS

On June 11, 2008, the Company sold 5,915,526 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and various stock purchase warrants for cash consideration totaling $15 million dollars (the “June 2008 Financing”). The exercise price, expiration date and number of share eligible to be purchased with the warrants are summarized in the following table:

Series of warrant
 
Number of shares
   
Exercise price
 
Contractual term
 
                 
Series A
    7,098,632     $ 3.52  
5.0 years
 

The Series A preferred stock has liquidation rights senior to common stock and to any other class or series of stock issued by the Company not designated as ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series A Preferred Share.  In the event of a liquidation of the Company, holders of Series A preferred stock are entitled to receive a distribution equal to $2.5357 per share of Series A preferred stock prior to any distribution to the holders of common stock or any other stock that ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Shares. The Preferred Shareholders are not entitled to dividends unless paid to Common Shareholders. Any dividend paid will have the same record and payment date and terms as the dividend payable to the Common Stock. The Series A preferred stock will participate based on their respective as-if conversion rates if the Company declares any dividends. Holders of Series A Preferred Shares also have voting rights required by applicable law and the relevant number of votes shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares. At any time, the Preferred Stock is convertible into 1 share of Common Stock adjusted from time to time to the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate is computed as the Liquidation Preference Amount ($2.5357 per share) divided by the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price is initially $2.5357 per share but can adjust for anti-dilution.

The Warrants were issued at an exercise price of $3.52 per share. The exercise price can adjust for dilutive events. The Warrants are immediately exercisable. However, if after exercise the holder would become a holder of greater than 9.9% of common stock they cannot exercise without filing a waiver with the company.  The waiver is required to be filed 61 days prior to exercise and by filing the waiver the restriction is removed. (Since the company is required to accept the waiver this restriction is not considered significant in valuing the warrant.) The Warrants expire 5 years from the date of issuance. The Warrants are freely transferable upon registration. The Warrants are subject to the same Registration Rights Agreement as that of the Preferred Stock. If a registration statement providing for the resale of the Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant is not declared effective after 180 days after the issuance date, the Warrants can be cashless exercised. Also, the Warrants have Buy-in Rights similar to those of the Preferred Stock.

The gross proceeds of the transaction were $15 million. The proceeds from the transaction were allocated to the Series A preferred stock, warrants and beneficial conversion feature based on the relative fair value of the securities. The Company evaluated whether a relative fair value approach or residual fair value approach was more appropriate given the terms and accounting treatment related to the financial instruments involved. Given that the Warrants will not be classified as a liability, the relative fair value method was used. The Warrants were first valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company valued the Warrants at issuance at $1.84 per warrant with the following assumptions: common stock fair market value of $2.55, expected life of 5 year, volatility of 100% and an interest rate of 4.5%.

10.  PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS (Continued)

The Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature discount on the Series A preferred stock at its intrinsic value, which was the fair value of the common stock at the commitment date for the Series A preferred stock investment, less the effective conversion price but limited to the $15 million of proceeds received from the sale. The Company recognized the $7.8 million beneficial conversion feature in the equity as a transfer from retained earnings to additional paid in capital as dividends in the accompanying consolidated financial statements on the date of issuance of the Series A preferred shares since the Series A preferred shares were convertible at the issuance date.

On July 18, 2008 the Company sold 1,971,842 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and various stock purchase warrants for cash consideration totaling $5 million dollars (the “July 2008 Financing”). The exercise price, expiration date and number of share eligible to be purchased with the warrants are summarized in the following table:

The Series A preferred stock has liquidation rights senior to common stock and to any other class or series of stock issued by the Company not designated as ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series A Preferred Share.  In the event of a liquidation of the Company, holders of Series A preferred stock are entitled to receive a distribution equal to $2.5357 per share of Series A preferred stock prior to any distribution to the holders of common stock or any other stock that ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Shares. The Preferred Shareholders are not entitled to dividends unless paid to Common Shareholders. Any dividend paid will have the same record and payment date and terms as the dividend payable to the Common Stock. The Series A preferred stock will participate based on their respective as-if conversion rates if the Company declares any dividends.  Holders of Series A Preferred Shares also have voting rights required by applicable law and the relevant number of votes shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares. At any time, the Preferred Stock is convertible into 1 share of Common Stock adjusted from time to time to the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate is computed as the Liquidation Preference Amount ($2.5357 per share) divided by the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price is initially $2.5357 per share but can adjust for anti-dilution.

The Warrants were issued at an exercise price of $3.52 per share. The exercise price can adjust for dilutive events.  The Warrants are immediately exercisable. However, if after exercise the holder would become a holder of greater than 9.9% of common stock they cannot exercise without filing a waiver with the company.  The waiver is required to be filed 61 days prior to exercise and by filing the waiver the restriction is removed. (Since the company is required to accept the waiver this restriction is not considered significant in valuing the warrant.) The Warrants expire 5 years from the date of issuance. The Warrants are freely transferable upon registration. The Warrants are subject to the same Registration Rights Agreement as that of the Preferred Stock. If a registration statement providing for the resale of the Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant is not declared effective after 180 days after the issuance date, the Warrants can be cashless exercised. Also, the Warrants have Buy-in Rights similar to those of the Preferred Stock.

10.  PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS (Continued)

The gross proceeds of the transaction were $5 million. The proceeds from the transaction were allocated to the Series A preferred stock, warrants and beneficial conversion feature based on the relative fair value of the securities. The Company evaluated whether a relative fair value approach or residual fair value approach was more appropriate given the terms and accounting treatment related to the financial instruments involved. Given that the Warrants will not be classified as a liability, the relative fair value method was used. The Warrants were first valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company valued the Warrants at issuance at $1.84 per warrant with the following assumptions:  common stock fair market value of $2.55, expected life of 5 year, volatility of 100% and an interest rate of 4.5%.

The Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature discount on the Series A preferred stock at its intrinsic value, which was the fair value of the common stock at the commitment date for the Series A preferred stock investment, less the effective conversion price but limited to the $5 million of proceeds received from the sale. The Company recognized the $2.6 million beneficial conversion feature in the equity as a transfer from retained earnings to additional paid in capital as dividends in the accompanying consolidated financial statements on the date of issuance of the Series A preferred shares since the Series A preferred shares were convertible at the issuance date.

In connection with the June 2008 Financing and the July 2008 Financing, in the event of the Company’s failure to timely convert, additional damages would become due.  In the event the Company does not have sufficient shares or is prohibited by law or regulation, then the holder can require cash redemption. The redemption price would equal 130% of the Liquidation Preference Amount plus additional amounts based on the difference between the bid prices on the conversion date and the date the Company has sufficient shares. The holder can also void the conversion or exercise its Buy-in Rights. The Buy-in-Rights entitle the holder to be protected in the case that the Company is unable to deliver the shares upon conversion while the holder has transacted to sell such underlying shares to a third party. In addition, in the event of a merger, consolidation or similar capital reorganization (prior to conversion) the holders can request to be redeemed at 110% of liquidation value.

On April 30, 2010, the Company entered into a Warrant Amendment agreement with each of the holders of the Warrants in the June 2008 Financing and July 2008 Financing, namely Vision Opportunity China, LP and Blue Ridge Investments, LLC, to amend their respective warrants.  In particular, the parties have agreed to delete Sections 4(d), (e) and (f) of their Warrants and replace Section 4(d) with a provision to allow the Company to issue additional shares of common stock or common stock equivalents at a price less than the conversion price of the warrants with the consent of the majority holders of the warrants.

11.  CAPITALIZATION

As a result of the Group’s reverse-merger on June 9, 2008, the Group’s capital structure has been changed. The number of common stock was 22,112,500 after reverse-merger. During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, 700,000 shares of common stocks were converted from preferred stocks. The common stocks are $22,813 and $22,113 with additional paid-in capital of $32,826,060 and $30,666,631 as of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively.

12.  SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company’s 2010 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”) was adopted by our Board of Directors and approved by our shareholders, permits the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options; stock awards, restricted stock purchase offer, to our officers, employees and non-employee directors. The 2010 Incentive Stock Plan provides for the issuance of up to 2,211,250 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment for stock split and similar events). Option awards are generally vest in three to four equal installments and have 5 year contractual terms. The Company’s general policy is to issue new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option exercises or grants of unvested shares.

On March 31, 2010, the Company issued 1,651,125 shares of non-statutory stock options to key employees and 310,000 shares to independent directors as compensation, these options have a 5 year contractual term. The options issued to key employees vest in three equal annual installments of 33.3%, with exercise price of $7.97 per share.  Options issued to independent directors vest in three equal annual installments of 33.3% or in four equal annual installments of 25%, with exercise price of $3 per share.

The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718. Accordingly, the Company expenses the fair value of awards made under its share-based plan. That cost is recognized in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period of the grants. Total compensation expense related to the stock options for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 was $2,159,429 and was recorded as general and administrative expense.  As of March 31, 2010, there was $8,759,510 of unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.  There were no options vested during three and nine months ended March 31, 2010; therefore the total fair value of options vested this period was $0.

The fair value of the stock option grant for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: volatility of 100%, the risk-free interest rate of 1.6%, expected dividend yield of 0% and expected life of 3.5 to 4 years.

Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based on the historic volatility of the Company’s stock price as well as volatility of comparable companies.  The risk free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option in effect at the time of the grant.  Since the Company has limited option exercise history, it has elected to estimate the expected life of an award based upon the SEC-approved “simplified method” noted under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 with the continued use of this method extended under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110. With the vesting period forms the lower bound of the estimate of expected term.

The above assumptions were used to determine the weighted average grant date fair value of stock options of $5.57 per share for the options granted on March 31, 2010.

Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

In this quarterly report, references to “Shengkai Innovations,” “SHE,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Shengkai Innovations, Inc.

We make certain forward-looking statements in this report. Statements concerning our future operations, prospects, strategies, financial condition, future economic performance (including growth and earnings), demand for our services, and other statements of our plans, beliefs, or expectations, including the statements contained under the captions “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Business,” as well as captions elsewhere in this document, are forward-looking statements. In some cases these statements are identifiable through the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “can”, “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The forward-looking statements we make are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to various assumptions, risks, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by these forward-looking statements. Because such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Indeed, it is likely that some of our assumptions will prove to be incorrect. Our actual results and financial position will vary from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements and the variances may be material. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties, together with the other risks described from time to time in reports and documents that we file with the SEC should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements.

The nature of our business makes predicting the future trends of our revenue, expenses, and net income difficult. Thus, our ability to predict results or the actual effect of our future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. The risks and uncertainties involved in our business could affect the matters referred to in any forward-looking statements and it is possible that our actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results indicated in these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the following:

 
·
the effect of political, economic, and market conditions and geopolitical events;
 
·
legislative and regulatory changes that affect our business;
 
·
the availability of funds and working capital;
 
·
the actions and initiatives of current and potential competitors;
 
·
investor sentiment; and
 
·
our reputation.

We do not undertake any responsibility to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to take into account events or circumstances that occur after the date of this report. Additionally, we do not undertake any responsibility to update you on the occurrence of any unanticipated events which may cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as filed with the SEC and other financial information contained elsewhere in this Report.

  Overview

We were incorporated in Florida on December 8, 2004 and have since undergone a change in business. In October 2008, our shareholders approved our name change from “Southern Sauce Company, Inc.” to “Shengkai Innovations, Inc.”

 As a result of the reverse merger, financing and related transactions described in our current report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on June 23, 2008, the Company ceased to be a shell company and became a holding company for entities that, through equity and contractual relationships, controls the business of Shengkai (Tianjin) Limited (“SK”) and Tianjin Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“Shengkai”), both companies organized under the laws of the PRC that design, manufacture and sell ceramic valves. Because SK and Shengkai’s operations are the only significant operations of the Company and its affiliates, this discussion and analysis focuses on the business results of SK and Shengkai, comparing its results in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operation of the Company for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors, Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in this registration statement. We use terms such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

General

Shengkai, the entity through which we run our operations, is a prominent ceramic valve manufacturer. We have more than 14 years of experience and possess a unique method for creating ceramic valves.

We believe that Shengkai is the one of the few ceramic valve manufacturers in the world with research and development, engineering, and production capacity for structural ceramics. Shengkai’s product categories include a broad range of valves in nearly all industries that are sold throughout China, to Europe, North America, and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Totaling over 400 customers, Shengkai became a supplier of China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (“CPCC” or “Sinopec”) in 2005 and a member of the PetroChina Co. Ltd. (“PetroChina”) supply network in 2006. Shengkai is currently the only domestic ceramic valve manufacturer entering the CPCC and PetroChina supply system, after a six-year application process.
 
Results of Operations
 
  Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $14,541,072, an increase of $4,565,767 or 45.8% from $9,975,305 for the comparable period in fiscal 2009. The product output has increased due to increased equipment and shifts of operation, as well as improved ceramic production technology to shorten the production cycle of some kinds of the ceramic pieces. Approximately 95.7% of our source of revenue came from customers in the electric power, petrochemical and chemical industries for the past three months. The electric power industry was still the significant market to our revenue, contributing approximately 60.6% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Revenue from the electric power industry was approximately $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $1.3 million or 17.3% from approximately $7.5 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to the broadening of our customer base and increased orders from existing customers. Revenue from the petrochemical and chemical industry, our biggest potential market, was approximately $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $2.9 million or 133.0% from approximately $2.2 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2009. The increase was primarily due to our hightened efforts to develop the market of the petrochemical industry. Revenue from other industries, including the aluminum and  metallurgy industries, was approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $0.3 million or 119.2% from approximately $0.3 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2009.

At present we are still experiencing a deficiency of production capacity. A new manufacturing facility is under construction, which is expected to be substantially completed in the second quarter of calendar year 2010.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $8,625,993, an increase of $2,403,265 or 38.6% compared to $6,222,728 for the comparable period in fiscal 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to the revenue increase. The gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was 59.3%, compared to 62.4% for the comparable period in fiscal 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to several new large projects started in March 2009, which were set at a higher price for the initial stage and temporarily raised our overall gross margin in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009.

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $1,403,775, an increase of $428,278 or 43.9%, from $975,497 for the comparable period in fiscal 2009. The major component of selling expenses was commission paid to agents for introducing new sales, which was approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $0.4 million or 45.7% from approximately $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Selling expenses as a percentage of total sales revenue slightly decreased to 9.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from 9.8% for the comparable period in fiscal 2009, primarily attributable to the revenue increase, as well as to the decrease in media advertisements incurred in the current period.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $3,103,415, an increase of 2,375,337 or 326.2% compared to $728,078 for the comparable period in fiscal 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to the recognition of $2,159,429 share-based compensation cost on the options to independent directors and management issued on March 31, 2010 under the Company’s 2010 Incentive Stock Plan. The increase in G&A was also attributed to the increase over the comparable periods of fiscal 2009 and 2010, in research and development expenses; in cash compensation to independent directors and management staff due to new appointments and hirings; as well as in the expenses for the U.S. capital market related activities such as NYSE AMEX application and listing fees, costs for participation of investment conferences and professional consulting fees for corporate internal control system and U.S. securities regulations compliance. The amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $229,274, an increase of $37,793 or 19.7% compared to $191,481 for the comparable period in fiscal 2009.

Interest expense
 
There was no interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 or the comparable period in fiscal 2009. No short or long term loans were outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2010 or the comparable period in fiscal 2009.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $977,763 , a decrease of $188,441 or 16.2%  from $1,166,204 for the comparable period in fiscal 2009. Excluding the $2.16 million share-based compensation cost , income before taxes was approximately $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with approximately $4.7 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2009 . The decrease in provision for income taxes was attributable to the new preferential income tax rate in calendar 2010. In April 2010, Shengkai, the Company’s operating subsidiary in Tianjin, China, was newly awarded the status of “high technology” enterprise for the calendar years 2009 through 2011. Hence Shengkai enjoys a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15% starting from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2011, and will receive a 10% refund for the income taxes paid at the standard 25% tax rate for calendar year 2009. The applicable income tax rate was 25% for the comparable period in fiscal 2009.

  Comparison of the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009

Revenue

Revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was $38,193,092, an increase of $10,877,733 or 39.8% from $27,315,359 for the comparable period in fiscal 2009. The product output has increased due to increased equipment and shifts of operation, as well as improved ceramic production technology to shorten the production cycle of some kinds of the ceramic pieces. Approximately 95.4% of our source of revenue came from customers in the electric power, petrochemical and chemical industries for the past nine months. The electric power industry was still the significant market to our revenue, contributing approximately 66.1% of total revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Revenue from the electric power industry was approximately $25.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $4.2 million or 19.7% from approximately $21.1 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to the broadening of our customer base and increased orders from existing customers. Revenue from the petrochemical and chemical industry, our biggest potential market, was approximately $10.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $5.9 million or 117.1% from approximately $5.0 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2009. The increase was primarily due to our hightened efforts to develop the market of the petrochemical industry. Revenue from other industries, including the aluminum and  metallurgy industries, was approximately $2.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $0.8 million or 62.1% from approximately $1.2 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2009.

Selling expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was $3,521,765, an increase of $789,792 or 28.9%, from $2,731,973 for the comparable period in fiscal 2009. The major component of selling expense was commission paid to the agents for introducing new sales, which was approximately $3.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $0.9 million or 39.7% from approximately $2.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Selling expenses as a percentage of total sales revenue decreased to 9.2% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from 10.0% for the comparable period in fiscal 2009, primarily attributable to the revenue increase, as well as to the decrease in media advertisements incurred in the current period.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 were $4,618,265, an increase of $2,788,002 or 152.3% compared to $1,830,263 for the comparable period in fiscal 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to the recognition of $2,159,429 share-based compensation cost on the options to independent directors and management issued on March 31, 2010 under the Company’s 2010 Incentive Stock Plan. The increase in G&A was also attributed to the increase over the comparable periods of fiscal 2009 and 2010, in research and development expenses; in cash compensation to independent directors and management staff due to new appointments and hirings; as well as in the expenses for the U.S. capital market related activities such as NYSE Amex application and listing fees, costs for participation of investment conferences and professional consulting fees for corporate internal control system and U.S. securities regulations compliance.

Excluding the $2.16 million share-based compensation cost , income before taxes was approximately $17.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared with approximately $12.2 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2009 . The less increase in provision for income taxes was attributable to the new preferential income tax rate in calendar 2010. In April 2010, Shengkai, the Company’s operating subsidiary in Tianjin, China, was newly awarded the status of “high technology” enterprise for the calendar years 2009 through 2011. Hence Shengkai enjoys a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15% starting from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2011, and will receive a 10% refund for the income taxes paid at the standard 25% tax rate for calendar year 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Our cash and cash equivalents as at the beginning of the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was $38,988,958 and decreased to $22,942,461 by the end of the period, an decrease of $16,046,497 or 41.2%. The net change in cash and cash equivalents represented a decrease of $28,127,987 or 233% from $12,081,490 for the comparable period in fiscal 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to the investment in the new manufacturing facility.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us 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 periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates (See Note 2 in the Notes to Financial Statements).
 
Revenue recognition

Net revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold recognized upon the delivery of goods to customers, net of value added tax (“VAT”), after allowances for returns and discounts and the value of services rendered. Revenue is recognized when the following four criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
 
Intangible assets

Intangible assets represent land use rights, patent rights and other assets (such as use of software) in the PRC. Land use rights are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of rights of 50 years commencing from the date of acquisition of equitable interest. Patent rights are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of rights of 10 years commencing from the date of acquisition of equitable interest.
 
Foreign currency translation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of Shengkai is the Renminbi (RMB). The financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

New Financial Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2009, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“Statement No. 167”). Statement No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46R”) to require an analysis to determine whether a company has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has a) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. The statement requires an ongoing assessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity when the holders of the entity, as a group, lose power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the actions that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance. This statement also enhances disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest entities. Statement No. 167 is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. Although Statement No. 167 has not been incorporated into the Codification, in accordance with ASC 105, the standard shall remain authoritative until it is integrated. The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement No. 167 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (“Statement No. 166”). Statement No. 166 revises FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Extinguishment of Liabilities a replacement of FASB Statement 125 (“Statement No. 140”) and requires additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and any continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It also eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity”, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and enhances disclosure requirements. Statement No. 166 is effective prospectively, for annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009, and interim and annual periods thereafter. Although Statement No. 166 has not been incorporated into the Codification, in accordance with ASC 105, the standard shall remain authoritative until it is integrated. The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement No. 166 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value (“ASC Update No. 2009-05”). This update amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and provides further guidance on measuring the fair value of a liability. The guidance establishes the types of valuation techniques to be used to value a liability when a quoted market price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, such as the use of an identical or similar liability when traded as an asset. The guidance also further clarifies that a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are both Level 1 fair value measurements. If adjustments are required to be applied to the quoted price, it results in a level 2 or 3 fair value measurement. The guidance provided in the update is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance. The Company does not expect that the implementation of ASC Update No. 2009-05 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
 
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) (“ASC Update No. 2009-12”). This update sets forth guidance on using the net asset value per share provided by an investee to estimate the fair value of an alternative investment. Specifically, the update permits a reporting entity to measure the fair value of this type of investment on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) if all or substantially all of the underlying investments used in the calculation of the net asset value is consistent with ASC 820. The update also requires additional disclosures by each major category of investment, including, but not limited to, fair value of underlying investments in the major category, significant investment strategies, redemption restrictions, and unfunded commitments related to investments in the major category. The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods ending after March 31, 2010 with early application permitted. The Company does not expect that the implementation of ASC Update No. 2009-12 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 amends ASC Topic 820 to require the following additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements: (i) the amounts of transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; (ii) reasons for any transfers in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and (iii) the inclusion of information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements. ASU 2010-06 also amends ASC Topic 820 to clarify existing disclosure requirements, requiring fair value disclosures by class of assets and liabilities rather than by major category and the disclosure of valuation techniques and inputs used to determine the fair value of Level 2 and Level 3 assets and liabilities. With the exception of disclosures relating to purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of recurring Level 3 measurements, ASU 2010-06 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The disclosure requirements related to purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of recurring Level 3 measurements will be effective for financial statements for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU 2010-06 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of the Company’s management, including Wang Chen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and David Ming He, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the three months ended March 31, 2010. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO also concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
