1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Our
Business
On June
1, 2007, American Metal & Technology, Inc. formally changed its name from
Murray United Development Corporation to American Metal & Technology, Inc.
(the “Company”). Murray United Development Corporation was
incorporated on October 13, 1987 under the laws of the State of
Delaware. The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary American
Metal Technology Group, a Nevada corporation (“AMTG”), and through
AMTG’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Beijing Tong Yuan Heng Feng Technology
Co., Ltd. ("BJTY") and American Metal Technology (Lang Fang) Co., Ltd.,
("AMLF"), primarily specializes in precision casting, machining, mold design and
manufacturing in the People's Republic of China ("China"). We manufacture
investment casting and machined products, including valves, pipe fittings,
regulators, dispensers, machinery spare parts, marine hardware, water treatment
parts, automotive and airplane accessories, electronic circuit board for home
appliances and motion controllers, and other equipment parts based upon
blueprints supplied to us by our customers. We use a wide range of ferrous and
non-ferrous materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, low alloy steel and
aluminum. Our factory is certified with ISO9001 and ISO14001
standards.
Beijing
Tong Yuan Heng Feng Technology Co., Ltd. ("BJTY") was incorporated on December
11, 2001 with its principal place of business in Beijing, China. Since its
organization, BJTY has been a manufacturer of precision metal parts for original
equipment manufacturers ("OEMs").
American
Metal Technology (Lang Fang) Co., Ltd., ("AMLF") was incorporated as a wholly
owned subsidiary by AMTG on August 2, 2004 in Lang Fang city, Hebei, China. AMLF
was formed to expand the production and operation of BJTY. Following the
incorporation, AMLF had purchased the rights to use a total area of 30,291.3
square meters (approximately 326,053 square foot) of land from the Chinese
government. The land is located at east side of Meison Street and north of Lang
Fang development zone garden in Lang Fang, Hebei, China. The term of the
land-use-rights is fifty (50) years from September 1, 2004 to September 1, 2054.
The land is semi-developed in terms of readied access to supplies of water,
electricity, heat, natural gas and internet connections. AMLF has completed its
construction of a two story manufacturing plant with a total occupational space
of 5,000 square meters (53,819 square foot).
We own
and operate 60 Mazak CNC lathes, 4 machining centers with 4 axis, and 20 other
machines, including CNC milling machine, laser sculptor, in-center grinding,
with 2D Video Measurement, ultrasonic cleaning line and other high technology
functions. CNC Lathes are manufactured by Yamazaki Mazak Corporation (Japan), a
machine tool maker in Japan, which is a global manufacturer of CNC machine tools
with operations in Japan, the US, England, and Singapore. We are able to
manufacture parts between 0.003 - 35 kg in weight, +/- 1° of normal angle
tolerance up to +/-0.5° of special angle tolerance and Ra1.6 - Ra 3.2° in
surface roughness.
In
December 2008, the Company purchased 9 sets of casting machines, worth $107,352
(730,000 RMB). These machines are expected to increase foundry and
casting capacity. As of the date of this Annual Report, these
machines are not operational. We are in the process of installing the
machines.
We have a
dedicated management team with over fifty years of combined experience in the
casting and metal fabrication industries. As of March 31, 2009, we had 225
employees.
We
manufacture our products through a process called "Investment Casting Process",
also called the "lost wax process" and through a process called "CNC Machining
Process".
Overview
of our Investment Casting Process
Investment
casting, often called lost wax casting, is regarded as a precision casting
process to fabricate near-net-shaped metal parts that could readily be put into
their final form. The investment process can be performed from a variety of
metal alloys such as stainless steels, carbon alloy steels, tool alloys, monel
alloys, hastelly c alloys, nickel base alloys, cobalt base alloys, aluminum
alloys and brass alloys. Although its history lies to a great extent in the
production of art items such as statues, jewelry and etc.,
the most
common use of investment casting in more recent history has been the production
of components requiring complex, often thin-wall castings. Our investment
casting process begins with the injection of high temperature melted wax into a
ceramic shell mold to form a pattern. The formed pattern is based on customer's
technical drawing and is within the same basic geometrical shape and dimension
as the finished metal cast part. Because the pattern is made of wax, it can be
melted away very easily. Once a wax pattern is produced, we then dip the pattern
in a mixture of ceramic slurry. This would result in the pattern covered with
sand stucco. We then allow it to dry. The dipping and stuccoing process is
repeated until a shell of 6 to 8 mm (1/4 to 3/8 in) is formed.

Once the
ceramic has dried, we would place the entire assembly in a steam autoclave to
remove most of the wax. A steam autoclave is a piece of equipment that can
produce pressurized high temperature steam in a closed chamber for melting wax.
After autoclaving, the remaining amount of wax that soaked into the ceramic
shell is burned out in a furnace. At this point, all of the residual wax pattern
and material is removed, and the ceramic mold remains. Next, we would preheat
the mold to a specific temperature and fill it with molten metal, creating the
metal casting. Then, we will allow the metal casting to cool down. Once the
metal casting has cooled and set, we'll remove the mold shell from the casting.
At this point, the investment metal casting process is completed. The last step
is to conduct qualification check and other tests, such as leakage inspections
according to customer specification. Depending on the specific design
requirements, we may need to perform CNC machining to bring the castings to
their precise final form.
Overview
of our CNC Machining Process
CNC
stands for computer numerical control. CNC Machining is the process by which
material is removed from a work-piece with Computer Numerical Control ("CNC")
equipment that cuts away unwanted material. The CNC machining process is a
versatile system that allows us to control the motion of tools and parts through
computer programs that use numeric data. Machining is possible on virtually any
material. Parts are machined directly from our 3D CAD models. 3D CAD
(computer-aided design) refers to the use of computer systems to design detailed
three-dimensional models of physical objects, such as mechanical parts,
buildings, and molecules.
The CNC
machines in our facilities include machining centers (mills) and turning centers
(lathes). A CNC machining center is a numerically controlled computer mill that
cuts metal with a multiple-tooth cutting tool called a milling cutter. The
work-piece is fastened to the milling machine table and is fed against the
revolving milling cutter. The work-piece can be fed to the milling cutter either
horizontally or vertically. The milling cutters can have cutting teeth on the
edge or sides or both. The cutting teeth can be straight or spiral. CNC turning
center is a computer numerically controlled lathe with the capability to hold a
number of cutting tools. The CNC turning center is designed to remove metal by
moving cutting tools against a rotating work-piece. The work-piece is rotated
around its axis and a cutting tool is fed parallel to the axis to create a
cylinder or at right angles to the axis to create a face. The rotating
work-piece can be either parallel or vertical to the floor.
Industry
Everyday
tasks such as dialing on the telephone, turning on a light, starting an
automobile, or using a computer would not be possible without metal casting
components. Telephone equipment parts, the steel plate in light switches,
automobile starters and many other automobile parts, metal hinges on desktop
computers, or door handles, knots and taps, dispensers and regulators etc., are
all made by using the investment casting process. The metal casting industry has
been integral to the U.S. economic growth and has helped the U.S. to become the
world benchmark in fields such as manufacturing, science, medicine, and
aerospace. Nearly all manufactured goods and capital equipments contain one or
more of the cast components or rely on casting components for their manufacture.
The metal casting industry produces both simple and complex components of
unlimited variety, whether they are produced once as a prototype or thousands of
times for use in a manufactured product. In addition to producing components of
larger products, foundries may also do machining, assembling, and coating of the
castings. Major end-use applications for castings include automobiles and
trucks, farm and construction equipment, railroads, pipes and fittings, valves,
and engines.
The basic
metals casting process consists of pouring or injecting molten metal into a mold
or a die containing a cavity of the desired shape. The most commonly used method
for small and medium-sized castings is green sand molding, accounting for
approximately 60 percent of castings produced. Other methods, accounting for
approximately 40 percent, include die casting, shell molding, permanent molding,
investment casting, lost foam casting, and squeeze casting.
Our
Strategies
We are
committed to the development of new manufacturing techniques, and to bring new
and technological advanced metal fabricated products to the global market.
Management believes that our future growth and profitability depend on our
ability to maintain product quality, control production costs, increase
production capacity, improve our marketing and distribution channels, increase
product offerings, and to effectively react to market changes.

Our
Strategies
-
continued
Capitalize
on our cost structure and logistical advantages:
Our
business objectives are to maintain current growth rate while expanding customer
base both domestically and to the international market. When introducing our
products and services to the international market, we hope to take advantage of
the low overhead costs and inexpensive labor available in China based upon the
location of our principal manufacturing facility in Beijing, and our future
facilities in Hebei, China. In the event we are successful in attracting foreign
customers, the close proximity of the factory complex to the Tianjin sea port,
one of the main seaports in China, should provide us convenient transportation
of our products to those foreign customers. There are, however, limitations in
having all our manufacturing facility in China. There would be additional
shipping, handling, and possible tariff costs associated with potential overseas
customers. This may make finding international clients difficult as it would
increase their overall costs.
Change
our product line in response to market demand:
Our
strategy is to respond to changes in market conditions by changing product lines
respectively. Management believes the demand market is changing rapidly. In
order for us to capture the most profitable products in the future, we plan to
setup a professional market intelligence team to monitor and respond to market
changes and reported to the management on a timely basis.
Maintain
high product quality:
Management
believes that identifying each customer's needs and efficiently addressing its
needs are vital to maintaining a competitive advantage to the success of the
business. Management believes that our commitment to services levels and
attention to detail and quality has the effect of providing customers with a
sense of confidence and security that their product requirements will be met and
their products will be delivered on time. The factory complex in Beijing, China,
at which we conducted all of our manufacturing operations, was designed paying
particular attention to factory layout, cleanliness, incoming material control,
in-process quality control, finished goods quality control and final quality
examination.
Competition
The metal
casting industry is highly competitive in China. Markets for metal castings are
increasingly competitive and casting customers are placing greater emphasis on
high-quality, competitively priced castings. There is increasing demand for
lighter-weight, high-strength ferrous and nonferrous cast metal components and
castings that meet demanding design specifications. Casting processes must
continually evolve and improve to remain competitive in today's
marketplace.
Management
believes there is significant room for expansion for AMTG and our subsidiaries
in the metal casting and metal fabrication industry worldwide. We are in a
multi-billion dollar metal casting industry. At least ninety percent of all
manufactured goods contain one or more cast metal components. Metal castings
components are integral in the U.S. transportation, energy, aerospace,
manufacturing, and national defense.
In 2003,
there were approximately 12,000 metal foundries and metal casting manufacturers
in China. We also compete with many international companies. There are an
estimated 2,950 metal casting companies in the United States as of year 2002. An
example of one of our Chinese competitors is Beijing Hithertop Precision Casting
Co., Ltd. ("Hithertop"), with $14.5 million in sales, Hithertop is a privately
owned high-tech export-oriented metal casting manufacturer. It occupies a total
plant area of 53,000m2. Hithertop is located in South-east suburb of Beijing,
35km southeast off the Beijing International Airport and 75km northwest of
Tianjin International Seaport. Other than competing on the same geographical
area in the city of Beijing, Hithertop is competing with our metal casting parts
in the Food and Beverage industry as well as metal casting components in other
industries.
An
example of one of our foreign competitors is Timken Company ("Timken") a U.S
based Corporation, which is a leading global manufacturer of engineered metal
parts and a provider of related products and services with operations in 27
countries. The company reported gross revenue of $5.2 billion in 2007 and
employed approximately 27,000 at year-end. Timken has been competing with us in
China through its subsidiaries in Yantai and Wuxi, China. As a result, our
competitive advantage on low labor cost structure in China over foreign
competitors may be significantly diminished by Timken's presence in Yantai, and
Wuxi. Timken also have far greater financial and other resources available to
them and possess extensive manufacturing, distribution and marketing
capabilities far greater than those we possess. A majority of the customer
orders we receive so far are for dispenser, regulators and similar food and
beverage equipment parts.
We also
compete with other beverage equipment dispensing companies worldwide. An example
of one of our foreign competitors is Lancer Corporation, which designs,
engineers, manufactures and markets fountain soft drink, beer and citrus
beverage dispensing systems, and other equipment for use in the foodservice and
beverage industry. Lancer is a vertically integrated manufacturer, employing
approximately 1,500 associates in the United States, Mexico, Australia, New
Zealand, and Far East, Western Europe and Russia. Lancer competes its products
in China via Lancer Hong Kong, and its authorized distributors in Shanghai,
China. The Company reported sales of $124.2 million in fiscal year 2004 and a
net income of $10.1 million. Some of Lancer's production lines are similar to
products we have been manufacturing for our customers. Lancer offer more variety
in its production line and have far greater financial and other resource, such
as marketing and distribution, available to them.
An
example of one of our local competitor is Rising Instrument Co., Ltd, which
specializes in designing, researching, processing, manufacturing and selling all
kinds of pressure gauge, thermometer etc. Rising Instrument is located in
Ningbo, China. Their products include gas regulators and other equipment parts
that are used to control liquid pressure in dispensing systems. Rising is
in the
same geographically and economic environment as we do and also enjoys the same
low labor cost. Rising competes with us in terms of gas regulators and offers
more variety than we do.

Environmental
Matters
China
adopted its Environmental Protection Law in 1989, and the State Council and the
State Environmental Protection Agency promulgate regulations as required from
time to time. The Environmental Protection Law addresses issues relating to
environmental quality, waste disposal and emissions, including air, water and
noise emissions. Environmental regulations have not had a material impact on our
results of operations. Our current production does not produce waste that
requires to be delivered to a waste disposal site approved by the local
government. We have not incurred any related cost. However, we expect that
environmental standards and their enforcement in China will, as in many other
countries, become more stringent over time, especially as technical advances
make achievement of higher standards more feasible. We believe we are in
compliance of this regulation and are not subject to enforcement of these
rules.
Seasonality
Our
business is not affected by seasonality.
Employees and
Consultants
As of
March 31, 2009, we had 225 full time employees. The Company has
reduced approximately one-third of its work force over the past few months due
to a significant decrease in sales orders resulting from the global economic
downturn.
On March
15, 2008, the Company signed a letter of engagement with CCG Investor Relations
Partners LLC. According to the terms of the agreement, CCG agreed to
assist the company in the execution of its investor relations strategy. The
agreement was for a twelve-month period and the Company agreed to pay $7,000 per
month to CCG and issue warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's
common stock at an exercise price of $5 per share. These warrants were recorded
at the fair value of $100,796 based on 70% volatility, 4.12% discount rate and
0% annual rate of quarterly dividends. The Company expensed the fair value
of these warrants over the term of the agreement. As of September 1, 2008, we
terminated our agreement with CCG Investor Relations Partners LLC.
Penny
Stock
If the
trading price of our Common Stock remains below $5.00 per share, trading in our
securities may be subject to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules with respect to securities trading below $5.00, which are
referred to as "penny stocks". These rules require the delivery prior to any
transaction of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and all
associated risks and impose various sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers who sell "penny stocks" to persons other than established
customers and accredited investors, which are generally defined as institutions
or an investor individually or with their spouse, who has a net worth exceeding
$1,000,000 or annual income, individually exceeding $200,000 or, with their
spouse, exceeding $300,000. For these types of transactions the broker-dealer
must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have
received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale.
In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the
broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the
securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by
such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in
our Common Stock, which could severely limit its market price and
liquidity.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company, as first announced in a press release dated December
6, 2007, submitted an application for listing upon the NASDAQ Capital Market,
and as of the date of this report NASDAQ’s continued review of our file is
pending subject to the increase in our stock price to $4.00. If we
are approved for listing upon the NASDAQ Capital Market, of which there can be
no assurance, we shall issue a press release announcing such fact.
REPORTS
TO SECURITY HOLDERS
We have
not in the past provided an annual report to our shareholders and do not intend
to do so. However, if we are approved for listing upon the NASDAQ
Capital Market, and in accordance with the applicable rules for listed
companies, we shall commence providing to our shareholders an annual report. We
are subject to the disclosure rules of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act
of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to smaller
reporting companies and are therefore required to file a Form 10-K annually and
Forms 10-Q quarterly. In addition, we are required to file Forms 8-K and other
information statements from time to time as required.
The
public may read and copy any materials we file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, ("SEC"), at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street N.E.
Washington, D.C. 20549 The public may obtain information on the
operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The
SEC maintains an internet site (http://www.sec.gov). That contains reports,
proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that
file electronically with SEC.
ITEM
2. PROPERTIES
There is
no private ownership of land in the People’s Republic of China. All
land ownership is held by the Chinese government, its agencies and collectives.
Land use rights can be obtained from the government, and are typically
renewable.
In 2004,
our subsidiary, American Metal Technology (Lang Fang) Co., Ltd. acquired land
use right for fifty years to 30,291 square meters of land in Langfang,
China. The land is located at east side of Meison Street and
north of Lang Fang development zone garden in Lang Fang, Hebei, China. The term
of the land-use-rights is fifty (50) years commencing on September 1, 2004 and
ending on September 1, 2054. This land is also utilized by our other
subsidiary Beijing Tong Yuan Heng Feng Technology Co., Ltd. The
subsidiaries operate in a 53,819 square foot manufacturing plant with monthly
output capacity of 1,000,000 parts.
On
February 5, 2008, we announced in a press release our intention to expand the
foregoing facility. We intended to invest an estimated $3 million in
the new development which will include two buildings totaling approximately
10,916 square meters. We have completed construction of the first building,
which is a factory with a workspace of 6,654.84 square meters. It
entails a 4,500 square meter metal casting shop, a 1,000 square meter
electronic shop, a 500 square meter mould shop, and a 600 square meter inventory
and assorted sets shop. The second building, which has not been completed, will
be a 4,260.84 square meter four level staff dormitory which will
accommodate 600 staff members. All of the manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001
certified. This expansion will increase by 50% our annual capacity
for casting products from 2,400 tons to 3,600 tons, and enhance the capabilities
for the development and manufacturing of circuit board solutions.
As of the
date of this report, the Company has determined to halt the expansion projects
for an undetermined period of time due to current market
conditions.

RECENT
SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
On May
22, 2007, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of
November 6, 2006 (the Agreement) with American Metal Technology Group, a Nevada
corporation (AMTG), as reported on Form 8-K filed on January 10, 2007, the
Company issued 8,088,637 shares to the stockholders and consultants of AMTG
(7,615,922 shares to AMTGs former shareholders, including 133,333 shares of
common stock issued to AMTG as investment upon completion of the due diligence
period pursuant to the Agreement, and redistributed proportionally to AMTGs
shareholder on May 22, 2007, and 472,715 shares to AMTGs consultants).
These shares represented more than eighty five (85%) of the Company’s issued and
outstanding shares of voting capital stock on a fully diluted basis, and
therefore the former shareholders of AMTG and its consultants effectively have
control of the Company. AMTG is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The shares issued were issued without registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act of 1933 for U.S. investors, or pursuant to Regulation S for
all non-U.S. investors, and are therefore "restricted" securities. Such shares
may not therefore be transferred without either the registration of such shares
with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an exemption from such
registration requirements pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
In
addition and also pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, on May 22, 2007 the
Company issued 66,667 shares to Anthony Campo, in partial consideration for
the cancellation of indebtedness to him. The shares issued to Mr. Campo were
issued without registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933 and are therefore "restricted" securities. Such shares may not therefore be
transferred without either the registration of such shares with the Securities
and Exchange Commission or an exemption from such registration requirements
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Pursuant
to a private placement conducted in accordance with Regulation S of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company raised $3,275,543 through the
issuance of 1,092,169 shares of common stock at $3.00 per
share. The offering closed on August 3, 2007. The proceeds
of the offering were distributed as follows: (i) $2,500,000 million
was distributed to the Company’s subsidiary company AMLF to engage in second
phase construction to upgrade manufacturing equipment; (ii) $600,000 was
distributed to our creditors in partial repayment of indebtedness; and (iii) the
balance of $175,543 for general working capital.
On
September 22, 2008, the Company entered in an Equity Purchase Agreement ("the
Agreement") with Wen Ge Ren (the "Seller"), a shareholder owning a 5% stock
interest in Beijing Tong Yuan Heng Feng Technology Co., Ltd ("BJTY"), which is
95% owned through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary American Metal
Technology Group. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Seller
US $390,299. The Seller has agreed to accept from the Company the equivalent of
US $92,566.46 or RMB 629,451.91 and balance of US $297,732.57 pursuant to the
issuance of such number of shares of restricted Common Stock based upon the
amount equal to 75% of the average of the closing bid price of the Company's
Common Stock for the five-day trading period commencing on September 18, 2008.
The Company shall deliver to the Seller the cash consideration and duly executed
share certificates representing the underlying shares registered in the name of
the Seller within 60 days from the date of signature. The Company
delivered the cash consideration and issued 317,581 shares to the Seller prior
to September 30, 2008.
On
October 31, 2008, the Board of Directors adopted resolutions, authorizing
incentive compensation to key members of its management if the Company has four
million ($4,000,000) dollars or more in net income for the fiscal year of 2008,
excluding expenses relating to the incentive compensation, as reflected in the
audited Financial Statements of the Company as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The incentive compensation shall be paid by the
issuance of shares of common stock by the Company as follows: (A) 533,333 shares
of common stock determined by multiplying the initial four million ($4,000,000)
dollars of net income by ten (10%) percent and dividing the product by an agreed
value of $0.75 per share and (B) such number of additional shares of common
stock determined by multiplying the amount of net profit in excess of four
million ($4,000,000) dollars by twenty (20%) percent and dividing such product
by an agreed value of $0.75 per share.
The Board
of Directors determined that the Company’s net income, prior to expenses
relating to the incentive compensation, for the fiscal year 2008 was $4,236,735.
Accordingly, based upon a formula set forth in the October 31, 2008 Consent and
the Board’s determination that the net income of the Company for the fiscal year
of 2008 was four million two hundred thirty six thousand seven hundred thirty
five ($4,236,735) dollars before deducting the expense of the incentive
compensation, the incentive compensation shall be paid by the issuance of
596,462 shares of common stock by the Company which were calculated as
follows:
(A) 533,333 shares of common stock, determined by multiplying the initial four
million ($4,000,000) dollars of net income by ten (10%) percent and dividing the
product, four hundred thousand ($400,000) dollars, by an agreed value of $0.75
per share and (B) 63,129 shares of common stock determined by multiplying two
hundred thirty six thousand seven hundred and thirty five ($236,735) dollars,
the amount of net profit in excess of four million ($4,000,000) dollars, by
twenty (20%) percent and dividing the product, forty seven thousand and three
hundred forty seven ($47,347) dollars, by an agreed value of $0.75 per
share.

7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The
following discussion and analysis provides information which we believe is
relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and
financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.
Critical Accounting Policies
and Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the Company's discussion and
analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company's
management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts
reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form10KSB describes the significant
accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company's
consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under
the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments
about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ
from these estimates and such differences may be material.
Management
believes the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates are those
related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory
valuation, impairment of long-lived assets, foreign currency translation and
income taxes. Management considers these critical policies because they are both
important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and operating
results, and they require management to make judgments and estimates about
inherently uncertain matters. The Company's senior management has reviewed these
critical accounting policies and related disclosures with the Company's Board of
Directors.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting
bulletin (SAB) 104. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to
customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable,
the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist
and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the
relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned
revenue. Unearned revenue as of December 31, 2008 amounted to
$8,645.
The
Company's revenue consists of invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax
(VAT). No product return or sales discount allowance is made as products
delivered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable and sales
discount is normally not granted after products are delivered.
Allowance
for doubtful accounts
The
Company's policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses for
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. As of December 31, 2008, the Company
had net accounts receivable of $2,470,732, net of an allowance of
$62,716.
Inventory
valuation
Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost or market value using weighted average method.
Management compares the cost of inventory with the market value and an allowance
is made for writing down the inventory to its market value, if
lower.

Impairment
of long-lived assets
The
Company applies the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
144,
"Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"
(
"FAS No. 144"
), issued by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (
"FASB"
). FAS No. 144 requires
that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result
from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such
impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which
the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
The
Company tests long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets subject to periodic amortization, for recoverability at least
annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when
circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair
value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their
identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other
groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future
estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares
the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to
result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds
estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the
amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair
value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting
expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate
potential investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information
available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered
necessary. There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
Critical Accounting Policies
and Estimates
Foreign
currency translation
The
reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The Company uses their local
currency, Renminbi (RMB), as their 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 unified exchange rate at the end of
the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in
accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders' equity.
Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on
transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional
currency are included in the results of operations as
incurred.
Translation
adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity and
amounted to $1,865,844 as of December 31, 2008.
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. At December 31, 2008
and 2007, there was no significant book to tax differences.
RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Overview
Our
products are almost exclusively components parts for use in final products,
which are either assembled or manufactured outside China or are manufactured and
assembled in China exported to foreign markets. We estimate that, in
2008, approximately 20% of our products were exported for assembly outside China
and 80% were assembled in China then exported to foreign markets. Our
primary focus during 2007 and 2008 has been to increase demand for our castings
and machined parts outside China, and we experienced significant growth in
existing and new markets with existing and new customers. We believe
there is substantial additional demand for our products and
services.
To
capitalize on the increased demand for our products, we commenced significant
capital expansion and capital improvement efforts, utilizing most of the net
proceeds received from our equity financing in 2007 to expand and enhance our
manufacturing capabilities. By the end of first quarter ended March 31, 2008, we
completed the first phase of the expansion plan. Phase one entails a 53,819
square foot manufacturing space, 5 turning centers and 60 CNC Mazak Lathe, 19 of
which were delivered and
became
operational in the three months ended December 31, 2007 and the three months
ended March 31, 2008 and the last of which became operational on or about April
7, 2008. All of the new high-precision lathe machines are equal in size
and capacity to the Company's existing machines.

In
February 2008, we announced that we were planning to invest $3 million to build
additional facilities at our Langfang manufacturing center. The new facilities
marked the second phase of a four-phase plan to transform the Company’s capacity
and capabilities for the foreseeable future. This second phase of our four-phase
expansion plan will add two buildings totaling approximately 10,916 square
meters, increasing annual capacity for casting products by 50% to 3,600 tons
from 2,400 tons.
During
the first quarter of the fiscal year ends on December 31, 2009, we completed
construction of the first building, which is a factory with a workspace of
6,654.84 square meters. The factory entails a 4,500 square
meter metal casting shop, a 1,000 square meter electronic shop, a 500 square
meter mould shop, and a 600 square meter inventory and assorted sets shop. The
second building will be a 4,260.84 square meter four level staff dormitory which
will accommodate 600 staff members. We have not completed the construction of
the second building.
On September 22, 2008, the Company entered in an Equity Purchase
Agreement ("the Agreement") with Wen Ge Ren (the "Seller"), a shareholder owning
a 5% stock interest in Beijing Tong Yuan Heng Feng Technology Co., Ltd ("BJTY"),
which is 95% owned through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary American Metal
Technology Group. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Seller
US $390,299. The Seller has agreed to accept from the Company the equivalent of
US $92,566.46 or RMB 629,451.91 and balance of US $297,732.57 pursuant to the
issuance of such number of shares of restricted Common Stock based upon the
amount equal to 75% of the average of the closing bid price of the Company's
Common Stock for the five-day trading period commencing on September 18, 2008.
The Company shall deliver to the Seller the cash consideration and duly executed
share certificates representing the underlying shares registered in the name of
the Seller within 60 days from the date of signature. The Company
delivered the cash consideration and issued 317,581 shares to the Seller prior
to September 30, 2008.
As of
December 31, 2008, we had 323 employees working at our factories compared
to 256 at the same time in the prior year. Prior to December 2008, the
Company operated with three shifts per day for seven days each
week. Due to the global economic downturn, in December 2008, the
Company shifts were reduced to one shift per day. From January 2009
through the date of this Annual Report, the Company has been operating one shift
per day.
As of
March 2009, the Company’s sales dropped approximately 80% as compared to
December 2008. We experienced a 70% decline in our orders from our
European customers. We anticipate that during 2009 we will achieve
40% of the sales which we received during the fiscal year ended December 31,
2008. Depending upon the condition of the economy, we may experience
a net loss for 2009.
Year
ended December 31, 2008 compared with the year ended December 31,
2007
Revenue
Revenue
for the year ended December 31, 2008, was $18,539,583 an increase of 73.97% as
compared to $10,656,958 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Revenue
increased for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared with year
ended December 31, 2007, largely as a result of an increase from 40 CNC
MAZAK lathes in 2007 and an additional turning center, which resulted in an
operating capacity increase of 37.5%, to 60 CNC MAZAK lathes for the year
ended December 31, 2007. Gross profit margin for the year ended December
31, 2008, was $5,724,006, or 30.87% of revenues, compared to $3,090,013, or
28.99% of revenues for the same period in 2007. The increase was mainly due
to greater throughput as a result of increased capacity during the fourth
quarter.
Expenses
from Operations
Total
expenses, comprised mostly of general and administrative expenses
and one-time expenses with respect to the upgrade of the equipment at
the manufacturing facility owned by our subsidiary AMLF, were approximately
$2,044,607 for the year ended December 31, 2008, a net increase of
$1,017,931compared to $1,026,676 for the full year ended December 31,
2007.
The
increase in operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008, was mainly
due to our increased business volume.
Interest
Income and Expense
Net
interest income for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $235,118 as compared to
net interest income of $24,666 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The
increase was mainly due to our investment in a year- long CD at an interest rate
of 7.65% which matured on March 28, 2009. In August 2008, we
invested $2.94 million, or 20 million RMB, in another CD with an
interest rate of 4.14% which matures in August 2009.

We had
net income of $3,884,822 for the year ended December 31, 2008 an increase
of 79.48% as compared to net income of $2,164,503 for the year ended
December 31, 2007. The increase was mainly due to an increase in revenue which
increased 73.97% compared with the year ended 2007, and an increase in gross
profit margin which increased 30.87% compared with the year ended
2007.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
and capital resources
Due to
the market demand for our products, we plan to maintain a
higher-than-average debt to equity ratio to better position ourselves in this
fast growing market. We met our liquidity needs through the revenue derived
pursuant to the sale of our precision metal castings and electronic circuit
boards manufactured at facilities controlled by our subsidiary corporations in
the People’s Republic of China, and the issuance of shares of our common stock
for cash. Cash balance amounted to $7,591,947 and $6,037,193 as of December
31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The increase in
our cash balance is a result of $1,554,454 of net cash raised from the sale of
our shares of common stock for cash, as well as additional revenue derived from
new customers in the United States and Europe and effective management to lower
product defects.
Operating
activities
Net cash
provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 was
$4,534,369compared to $2,359,781 provided in the year ended December 31, 2007.
This change was mainly due to the new customers in the United States and
Europe.
Our net
income for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $3,884,822, an increase of
55.72% compared to $2,164,503 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Net accounts
receivable for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $2,470,732 compared to
$1,332,664 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increases in both net
income and net accounts receivable were mainly due to the increased revenues
from the new customers in the United States and Europe.
Investing
activities
Net cash
used by investing activities was $(3,891,245) for the year ended December 31,
2008 compared to $(480,298) used in the same period of 2007. The change in net
cash used by investing activities is mainly a result of $(1,288,773) cash
used in the purchase of equipment in 2008, a decrease of $(1,251,672) compared
to $(37,101) in 2007 and $(2,436,369) with respect to our 2nd phase
construction, and $(73,537) cash used in short-term investment we
made in the fiscal year 2008, and $(92,566) cash used for the acquisition of a
minority interest in a subsidiary.
Financing
activities
Net cash
provided by financing activities was $473,489 for the year ended December
31, 2008 compared to $3,091,415 in the same period of 2007. The
increase was primarily a result of the sale of 163,825,350 (1,092,169
after reverse split) shares of common stock pursuant to a private offering
conducted in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1934 at $.02
per share. The proceeds of the offering were $3,275,543. The
proceeds of the offering were distributed as follows: (i) $2,500,000 was
distributed to the Company's subsidiary company AMLF to engage in second phase
of construction to upgrade manufacturing equipment; (ii) $600,000 was
distributed to our creditors in partial repayment of indebtedness; and (iii) the

of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
principal executive and financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of
our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit
under the Exchange Act (i) is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure and (ii) is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and
forms.
There
have been no changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could
materially affect, or were reasonable likely to materially affect these controls
during or subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2008.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f)
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance with
respect to the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and
procedures which:
|
●
|
Pertain
to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our
assets;
|
|
●
|
Provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and
directors; and
|
|
●
|
Provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have
a material effect on the financial
statements.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES
-
continued
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our
management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2008 based upon the criteria set forth in the
Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based upon
this assessment, no material weaknesses were discovered and our management has
concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2008.
This
Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public
accounting firm with respect to internal control over financial reporting.

October 31, 2008, the Board of Directors adopted resolutions, authorizing
incentive compensation to key members of its management if the Company has four
million ($4,000,000) dollars or more in net income for the fiscal year of 2008,
excluding expenses relating to the incentive compensation. The incentive
compensation shall be paid by the issuance of shares of common stock by the
Company as follows: (A) 533,333 shares of common stock determined by multiplying
the initial four million ($4,000,000) dollars of net income by ten (10%) percent
and dividing the product by an agreed value of $0.75 per share and (B) such
number of additional shares of common stock determined by multiplying the amount
of net profit in excess of four million ($4,000,000) dollars by twenty (20%)
percent and dividing such product by an agreed value of $0.75 per
share. The Board of Directors determined that the Company’s net
income, prior to expenses relating to the incentive compensation, for the fiscal
year 2008 was $4,236,735. Accordingly, based upon the foregoing formula and the
Board’s determination that the net income of the Company for the fiscal year of
2008 was four million two hundred thirty six thousand seven hundred thirty five
($4,236,735) dollars before deducting the expense of the incentive compensation,
the incentive compensation shall be paid by the issuance of 596,462 shares of
common stock by the Company which were calculated as follows: (A) 533,333 shares
of common stock, determined by multiplying the initial four million ($4,000,000)
dollars of net income by ten (10%) percent and dividing the product, four
hundred thousand ($400,000) dollars, by an agreed value of $0.75 per share and
(B) 63,129 shares of common stock determined by multiplying two hundred thirty
six thousand seven hundred and thirty five ($236,735) dollars, the amount of net
profit in excess of four million ($4,000,000) dollars, by twenty (20%) percent
and dividing the product, forty seven thousand and three hundred forty seven
($47,347) dollars, by an agreed value of $0.75 per share. The amount
of incentive compensation disclosed herein does not include the allocation of
the incentive compensation because the Company has not determined such
allocation as of the date of this Annual Report.

Mr. Gao,
our President and Chief Executive Officer and a Director, and Xin Yan Yuan, our
Secretary and a Director own 35% and 21.6%, respectively of a company now known
as Beijing Sande Technology (Holding) Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Sande”) which is a
Chinese Corporation which, in turn, owns approximately 20% of Beijing Micro

controlling interest of approximately 80% of Beijing Micro Matic Machinery, Ltd.
is owned by Denmark Micro Matic International SA, (“Denmark Micro”) an entity

control of Beijing Micro Matic Machinery, Ltd. In view of Beijing
Sande’s 20% interest in Beijing Micro Matic Machinery, Ltd., and Mr. Gao and Ms.
Yuan’s 35% and 21.6% interest in Beijing Sande, Mr. Gao and Ms. Yuan indirectly
hold approximately 7% and 4% of Beijing Micro Matic Machinery,

directors of Beijing Micro Matic Machinery, Ltd.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To Board
of Directors and Shareholders
American
Metal & Technology, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of American Metal & Technology, Inc.
and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of
income and other comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for
each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of American Metal & Technology,
Inc. and Subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended
December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

METAL & TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
1.
Organization and description of business
On June
1, 2007, American Metal & Technology, Inc. (AMTI
, "We, "Us, "Our"
or the
"Company"
) formally
changed its name from Murray United Development Corporation to American Metal
& Technology, Inc.
Murray
United Development Corporation was incorporated on October 13, 1987 under the
laws of the State of Delaware. It was organized to further develop and exploit
commercially certain technology for a rotary internal combustion engine that
would utilize alternative fuels. The patent and related rights to the use of the
technology have been assigned to the Company. These rights were subsequently
assigned pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated November 6,
2006 discussed below.
The
Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement on November 6, 2006 (the
"Agreement") with American Metal Technology Group, a Nevada corporation
(“AMTG"), pursuant to which the Company acquired one hundred (100%) percent of
AMTG's outstanding common stock from the AMTG Stockholders and AMTG became
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company in a two step reverse
takeover transaction on May 22, 2007. In connection with this
transaction, and in addition to the 173,253,434 shares of common stock
outstanding immediately prior to closing, the Company issued 1,213,295,563
shares to the stockholders and consultants of AMTG (1,142,388,273 shares to
AMTG's former shareholders, including 20,000,000 shares of common stock issues
to AMTG as investment upon completion of the due diligence period to
the Agreement, and redistributed proportionally to AMTG's shareholders as
of May 22, 2007, and 70,907,300 shares to AMTG's consultants). These
shares represent more than eighty five (85%) of the Company's issued and
outstanding shares of voting capital stock on a fully diluted basis, and
therefore the former shareholders of AMTG and its consultants effectively have
control of the Company. In addition, as a condition of the closing of the
Agreement, the Company issued an additional 10,000,000 shares of common stock to
a former officer and director of the Company in connection with the cancellation
of all indebtedness to him, and his assumption of all liabilities and the
assignment all assets of the Company immediately prior to closing.
AMTG is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The
exchange of shares with AMTG has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition
under the purchase method of accounting since the shareholders of AMTG obtained
control of the consolidated entity. Accordingly, the merger of the two companies
has been recorded as a recapitalization of AMTG, with AMTG being treated as the
continuing entity. The historical financial statements presented herein
are those of AMTG. The continuing company has retained December 31 as its fiscal
year end.
Reflecting
the change of ownership, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment
to its Certificate of Incorporation to change its name to American Metal
& Technology, Inc., which became effective June 1,
2007.
The
Company now through AMTG via its subsidiaries, Beijing Tong Yuan Heng Feng
Technology Co., Ltd. and American Metal Technology (Lang Fang) Co., Ltd., is
mainly in the business of manufacturing and sales of high-precision investment
casting and metal fabrication products in the People's Republic of China (“
China”)
. The Company's
production involves high-precision investment casting and machined products,
including valves, pipe fittings, etc.
AMTG was
incorporated on January 13, 2004 under the laws of the state of Nevada. On June
1, 2004, AMTG entered into an equity purchase agreement with Beijing Sande
Technology (Holding) Co., Ltd. (“
BST”)
to acquire 80%
ownership of Beijing Tong Yuan Heng Feng Technology Co., Ltd. (“
BJTY”)
. As a result, AMTG
issued 7,200 shares of his pre-split common stock to BST in exchange for 80%
ownership of BJTY. On August 2, 2004, AMTG incorporated American Metal
Technology (Lang Fang) Co., Ltd. (“
AMLF”)
in Hebei, China, for
the purpose of expanding the production facility of BJTY. On August 8,
2004, AMTG and AMLF together entered into an equity purchase agreement with
Beijing Sande Shang Mao Co., Ltd. (BSS
)
for the remaining 20% of
BJTY. As a result, AMTG which issued 1,800 shares of pre-split common stock to
BSS and AMLF becomes the owner of 20% shareholder of BJTY. AMTG later acquired
the 20% ownership of BJTY from AMLF and owns 100% of BJTY. On November 12, 2004,
AMTG effectuated a forward split of all the outstanding shares of common stock
on a 1,000 for 1 basis. On November 2005, AMTG sold 5% of BJTY to an unrelated
party for $240,000. As set forth below, the Company repurchased such shares
pursuant to an Equity Purchase Agreement Executed on September 22,
2008.
On
December 3, 2007, the Company implemented a reverse stock split at the ratio of
one (1) for one hundred fifty (150), such that stockholders shall receive one
(1) share of common stock of the Company for every one hundred fifty (150)
shares of common stock currently held, with no change in the par value of shares
of common stock.
The
reverse stock split reduced the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
from approximately 1,560,374,357 shares to approximately 10,402,496 shares. In
connection with the implementation of the reverse stock split, the board of
directors and shareholders each approved by written consent as of November 15,
2007 to amend the Certificate of Incorporation (the "Amendment") of the Company
to decrease the number of authorized shares from two billion (2,000,000,000)
shares of common stock and one hundred million (100,000,000) shares of preferred
stock to thirty million (30,000,000) shares of common stock and
ten
million (10,000,000) shares of preferred stock. The par value of the Company's
stock shall remain at $.0001 per share for both the common and preferred
shares.

The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All
significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the
consolidation.
Use of
estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 consolidated financial statements and the amount 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 results.
Cash and cash
equivalents
For
Statement of Cash Flows purposes, the Company considers all cash on hand and in
banks, including accounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit
and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less,
when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2008 and
2007, cash and cash equivalent amounted to $7,591,947 and $6,037,193
respectively. The cash is deposited with four banks in China and is not
insured.
Accounts
receivable
The
Company's policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses for
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. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the
Company had accounts receivable of $2,470,732 and $1,332,664, net of allowance
of $62,716 and $73,310 respectively.

accounting policies
-
continued
The
company advances to certain vendors for the purchase of material. As of December
31, 2008 and 2007, the advances to suppliers amounted to $390,368 and $974,799
respectively.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting
bulletin (SAB) 104. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to
customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable,
the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist
and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the
relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned
revenue. Unearned revenue as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $8,645
and $12,938 respectively.
The
Company's revenue consists of invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax
(VAT). No product return or sales discount allowance is made as products
delivered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable and sales
discount is normally not granted after products are delivered.
Foreign currency
translation
The
reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The Company uses their local
currency, Renminbi (RMB), as their 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 unified exchange rate at the end of
the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in
accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders' equity.
Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on
transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are
included in the results of operations as incurred.
Translation
adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity.
Accumulated other comprehensive income amounted to $1,865,844 and $994,092 as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Accumulated other comprehensive income
is comprised of unrealized loss from available for sale securities of $(58,382)
and foreign currency translation gain of $1,924,226 as of December 31,
2008. Accumulated other comprehensive income included
unrealized gain from marketable securities of $12,401 and foreign currency
translation gain of $981,691 as of December 31, 2007.
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. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, there was no significant
book to tax differences.
Local PRC Income
Tax
The
Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning subsidiaries
located in PRC. Under the Income Tax Laws of the PRC, Chinese enterprises are
generally subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 33% (30% state income
taxes plus 3% local income taxes) on income reported in the statutory financial
statements after appropriate tax adjustments.
The
Company does not have any significant deferred tax asset or liabilities in the
PRC tax jurisdiction.
Beginning
January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax (EIT) law replaced the existing
laws for Domestic Enterprises (DES) and Foreign Invested Enterprises (FIEs). The
new standard EIT rate of 25% replaced the 33% rate previously applicable to both
DES and FIEs. The Company evaluated the effect of the new EIT law on its
financial position, and the two years tax exemption, three years 50% tax
reduction tax holiday for production-oriented FIEs will be
continued. The Company is exempted from income tax in Peoples
Republic of China, for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Segment
reporting
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" requires use of the
"management approach" model for segment reporting. The management approach model
is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company
for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments
are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management
structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a
company.
AMERICAN
METAL & TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
2. Summary of significant
accounting policies
-
continued
SFAS No.
131 has no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements as the
Company operates in one reportable business segment - manufacture and marketing
high-precision investment casting and metal fabrication products in
China.
Recent accounting
pronouncements
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research
Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51. This statement clarifies that a
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated
financial statements. This statement changes the way the consolidated
income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be
reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the
noncontrolling interest. This statement is effective for the fiscal
years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. Based on current conditions, the Company does not
expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on its results of
operations or financial position.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business
Combinations.” This statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141,
“Business Combinations.” This statement retains the fundamental requirements in
SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called
the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer
to be identified for each business combination. This statement defines the
acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the
business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the
acquirer achieves control. This statement requires an acquirer to recognize the
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the
acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date,
with limited exceptions specified in the statement. This statement applies
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 141 (R) to
have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial
position.
In March,
2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities”. The new standard is intended to improve
financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by
requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their
effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application
encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and
amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under
Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect
its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
FASB
Statement No. 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the
fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular
format. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by
requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk–related.
Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial
statement users to locate important. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not
have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial
position.
In May
2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance
Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60. The scope of
the statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance)
contracts. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 31, 2008. The company does not believe this
pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
3.
Marketable Securities
The
Company’s securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as such, are
carried at fair value. The securities comprised of shares of common stock of
third party customers and securities purchased. Securities classified as
available-for-sale may be sold in response to changes in interest rates,
liquidity needs, and for other purposes. The Company does not currently have any
held-to-maturity or trading securities.
Unrealized
holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are excluded from
earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholder’s equity. Realized
gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale are reported in
earnings based upon the adjusted cost of the specific security
sold.
Marketable
securities classified as available for sale consisted of the following as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007:
