AMERICAN METAL & TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED 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.

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 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 paid 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 delivered 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.  As of June 30, 2009, such shares have not been issued.

On April 29, 2009, the Board of Directors of AMTG adopted a resolution authorizing the creation of a new Hong Kong corporation.  A Certificate of Incorporation was filed in Hong Kong on April 30, 2009 organizing American Metal Technology Group Limited (“AMTL”). In June 2009, the Board of Directors of AMTG adopted a resolution which authorized AMTG’s utilization of AMTL as the operating entity with respect to overseeing AMTG’s operations in Asia and authorized AMTG’s wholly owned subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China to become wholly owned subsidiaries of AMTL effective immediately.

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 June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, cash and cash equivalent amounted to $8,274,701 and $7,569,046, 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 June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had accounts receivable of $1,333,787 and $2,424,157, net of allowance of $149,306 and $62,716 respectively.

The Company advances to certain vendors for the purchase of material. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the advances to suppliers amounted to $238,085 and $390,368 respectively.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies - continued
 
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 June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 amounted to $458,855 and $8,645 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.
 
Accumulated other comprehensive income amounted to $1,953,431 and $1,865,844 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Accumulated other comprehensive income was mainly foreign currency translation gain as of June 30, 2009. 

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 June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, 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 six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

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.
 
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 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. Management does not believe the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements will have a material effect.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.  This Staff Position is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is prohibited.  Application of this FSP is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” ("FSP 14-1").  FSP 14-1 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The FSP includes guidance that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion should be separated between the liability and equity components, with each component being accounted for in a manner that will reflect the entity's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest costs are recognized in subsequent periods.  FSP 14-1 is not currently applicable to the Company since the Company does not have convertible debt.

In May of 2008, FASB issued SFASB No.162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The pronouncement mandates the GAAP hierarchy reside in the accounting literature as opposed to the audit literature. This has the practical impact of elevating FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts in the GAAP hierarchy. This pronouncement will become effective 60 days following SEC approval. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.

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.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities”.  This FSP provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.  The Company does not currently have any share-based awards that would qualify as participating securities.  Therefore, application of this FSP is not expected to have an effect on the Company's financial reporting.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. While the Company has not yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after January 1, 2009.
 
On December 30, 2008 FASB issued FIN 48-3, “Effective Date of FASB Interpretation No. 48 for Certain Nonpublic Enterprises”. This FSP defers the effective date of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, for certain non-public enterprises as defined in paragraph 289, as amended, of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, including non-public not-for-profit organizations. However, non-public consolidated entities of public enterprises that apply U. S. GAAP are not eligible for the deferral. Nonpublic enterprises that have applied the recognition, measurement, and disclosure provisions of Interpretation 48 in a full set of annual financial statements issued prior to the issuance of this FSP also are not eligible for the deferral. This FSP shall be effective upon issuance. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
 
On January 12, 2009 FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-01, “Amendment to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20”. This FSP amends the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets,” to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The FSP also retains and emphasizes the objective of an other-than-temporary impairment assessment and the related disclosure requirements in FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and other related guidance. The FSP is shall be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008, and shall be applied prospectively. Retrospective application to a prior interim or annual reporting period is not permitted. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.

3. Marketable Securities
 
The Company’s securities are classified as trading and 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 trading and 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. Unrealized holding gains and losses for trading securities and 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 June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

Unrealized Gain (Loss) for the period ended
    3,974     $ (70,783 )
Accumulated Unrealized Gain (Loss)
    -       (58,382 )

The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, effective January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 applies to marketable securities.

SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  In determining fair value of certificates of deposit, the Company uses the market approach.  SFAS No. 157 establishes a hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  This hierarchy increases the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and related disclosures by maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available.  Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.  Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.  The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

 
·
Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.  Valuation of these instruments does not require a high degree of judgment as the valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly available.  The Company does not currently have any financial instruments utilizing Level 1 inputs.

 
·
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.  The certificates of deposit, which were the only component of long-term investments, utilized Level 2 inputs.  These financial instruments are valued by quoted prices that are less frequent than those in active markets or by models that use various assumptions that are derived from or supported by data that is generally observable in the marketplace.  Valuations in this category are inherently less reliable than quoted market prices due to the degree of subjectivity involved in determining appropriate methodologies and the applicable underlying assumptions.

 
·
Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data.  The Company does not currently have any financial instruments utilizing Level 3 inputs.  These financial instruments have significant inputs that cannot be validated by readily determinable data and generally involve considerable judgment by management.

The following table summarizes by level within the fair value hierarchy of marketable securities as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

8. Intangible assets - continued
 
Land use right:

Per the People's Republic of China's governmental regulations, the Government owns all land. However, the government grants the user a “land use right” (the Right) to use the land. The Company has recognized the amounts paid for the acquisition of rights to use land as intangible asset and amortizing over a period of fifty years.

American Metal Technology (Lang Fang) Co., Ltd. acquired land use rights during the year ended 2004 for a total amount of $663,740. The land use right is for fifty years. The intangible assets consist of the followings as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

   
June 30, 2009
   
December 31, 2008
 
Intangible assets
  $ 665,237     $ 665,987  
Less: accumulated amortization
    (63,198 )     (56,609 )

Permits:
 
Permits amounted to $60,338 and $75,261 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 respectively and are amortized over 5 years:

Less: accumulated amortization
    (142,166 )     (121,072 )
    $ 60,338     $ 75,261  

Intangible assets of the Company are reviewed annually as to whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. As of June 30, 2008 the Company expects these assets to be fully recoverable.

Total amortization expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $26,740 and $28,163 respectively. Amortization expenses for next five years after June 30, 2009 are as follows:

13. Current vulnerability due to certain concentrations
 
BJTY and AMLF’s operations are all carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC's economy.
 
The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
 
Major customers
 
Two major customers accounted for 65% of the net revenue for the six month ended June 30, 2009. The Company had $151,460 receivables from one customer and $444,972 unearned revenue with the other as of June 30, 2009.  Two major customers accounted 81% of the net revenue for the six month ended June 30, 2008. The company had $2,358,636 accounts receivable from those customers as of June 30, 2008.

A majority of our customers ultimately sell our products to users in Europe which subjects us to a substantial risk of an economic downturn to Europe.
 
Our President and Chief Executive Officer and a Director, and the Secretary of the Company 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 Matic Machinery, Ltd, which is the 76% customer referred to above.  The controlling interest of approximately 80% of Beijing Micro Matic Machinery, Ltd. is owned by Denmark Micro Matic International SA, (“Denmark Micro”) an entity registered in Denmark.

The Company extends credit to its customers based upon its assessment of their credit worthiness and generally does not require collateral. Credit losses have not been significant.

Consulting agreements:
 
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 has been expensing 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.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company expensed $20,435 and deferred $0 in the consolidated financial statements.

15. Minority interest
 
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 paid to the Seller US $390,299.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PLAN OF OPERATION .

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 in this Form 10-Q.

Statements in this Form 10-Q which are not statements of historical or current fact constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other unknown factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different from the historical results or from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In addition to statements that explicitly describe such risks and uncertainties, readers are urged to consider statements labeled with the terms "believes," "belief," "intends," "anticipates" or "plans" to be uncertain and forward-looking. The forward-looking statements contained herein are also subject generally to other risks and uncertainties that are described from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 Form 10-Q 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 June 30, 2009 amounted to $458,855.
 
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 June 30, 2009, the Company had net accounts receivable of $1,333,787, net of allowance of $149,306.
 
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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PLAN OF OPERATION . - continued
 
Impairment of long-lived assets - continued
 
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 three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008.
 
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.
 
Accumulated other comprehensive income amounted to $1,953,431 and $1,865,844 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Accumulated other comprehensive income was mainly from foreign currency translation gain as of June 30, 2009.

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 June 30, 2009 and 2008, there was no significant book to tax differences.

 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We design and manufacture high-precision casting and machined parts based on blueprints supplied by our customers. To set us apart from competition, we streamlined production cycle by providing a one stop solution to include all three integral processes in making high precision parts, which are molding design and fabrication, high precision investment casting and CNC machining process. Our products are almost exclusively component parts for use in final products, which are either assembled or manufactured outside China or are manufactured and assembled in China and exported to foreign markets.   Our primary focus during 2008 and 2009 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.  During the six months ended June 30, 2009, as further set forth below, due to the worldwide economic slowdown, we recognized that we would experience a reduction in revenue and have been working towards reducing our operating expenses.

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 multiphase plan to transform the Company’s capacity and capabilities for the foreseeable future. This second phase of our multiphase 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
 
During the first quarter of fiscal year 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 substantially completed the construction of the second building during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, and expect to transfer from construction-in-progress to fixed assets in the third quarter once the total cost is confirmed and the title documents are completed.

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 reduced shifts to one shift per day.  From January 2009 through the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company has been operating one shift per day.  As of June 30, 2009, we had 260 full time employees.  

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company’s net sales dropped approximately 72% and 73% as compared to the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.  We experienced an approximate 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.
 
 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 paid 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 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.  As of June 30, 2009, such shares have not been issued.
 
On March 18, 2009, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to transfer and resell the Company’s ownership of fifty thousand (50,000) shares of common stock, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Lighting Power Global Limited, a British Virgin Island company, to the Chairman and the President of Company, resulting in the President becoming the sole shareholder of Lighting Power Global Limited.  The Board of Directors also authorized the Company to cancel any funds due to the President for any loans made and /or expenses incurred with respect to the original acquisition and ownership of the shares of common stock of Lighting Power Global Limited.
 
On July 1, 2009, AMTG entered into an amended loan agreement with an entity, 33% of which is owned by the President and CEO of the Company regarding the $1,213,536 due to the related party (see Note 10 – Due to related party).  In view of the depreciation in the U.S. dollar, AMTG agreed to pay to the related party the agreed upon sum of $317,565, to compensate the related party for the loss in the value of the loan based upon the difference between the exchange rate at the time of the loan and the current exchange rate.  Such agreement was authorized and approved by our Board of Directors.  The additional charge of $317,565 had been accrued as of June 30, 2009.  The total principal balance of $1,213,536 had been fully repaid on July 13, 2009, whereas the additional charge of $317,565 had been fully paid on August 5, 2009.

Revenue
 
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $1,437,804, a decrease of 71.7% as compared to $5,086,839 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30 2009, was $298,322, or approximately 20.7% of revenues, compared to $1,779,145, or 34.97% of revenues, for the same period in 2008. 

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $2,722,027, a decrease of 73% as compared to $9,983,353 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2009, was $693,697, or approximately 25% of revenues, compared to $3,238,540, or 32% of revenues, for the same period in 2008. 

The decrease is primarily due to the approximate 70% decline in orders from our European customers.  The decline in gross margin was resulted from higher fixed costs allocated to cost of goods sold due to decline in sale orders during the current period as compared to the same period prior year.

Expenses from Operations

Total expenses, comprised mostly of general and administrative expenses were $199,055 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $175,716, compared to $374,771 for the three month period ended June 30, 2008.

Total expenses, comprised mostly of general and administrative expenses were $834,177 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $37,798, compared to $871,975 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008.

Interest Income and Expense
 
Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $2,227 as compared to net interest income of $1,621 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  This increase is primarily due to the increase in our cash and cash equivalents.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $112,926 as compared to net interest income of $7,349 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  This increase is primarily due to interest income recognized during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 from the maturity of a CD.

Other Expense
 
Other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $319,928 as compared to $12,351 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  Other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $321,054 as compared to $11,310 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The increase during the current periods was mainly due to accruing the additional charge of $317,565 for the balance due to a related party as discussed in Note 17 – Subsequent event.

Net (Loss) Income
 
We had net loss of $276,335 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to net income of $1,403,540 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  We also incurred net loss of $436,085 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to net income of $2,420,736 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The losses observed during the current periods were mainly derived from the decreases in net sales and the increase in other expense.
 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash and cash equivalents were $8,274,701 on June 30, 2009.  Through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, 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.

Ultimately, our success is dependent upon our ability to generate revenues from the sale of precision metal casting and electronic circuit boards manufactured in facilities located in the People’s Republic of China.
 
During the six month period ended June 30, 2009, net cash provided by operating activities was $919,587 as compared to $955,101 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008.  Net cash provided from financing activities was $7,124 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $25,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

As of June 30, 2009 we have investments of $174,285 in marketable securities.  During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded a net gain of $6,959 and a net loss of $22,618 on the disposal of such securities, respectively.  Although these investments represent less than one (1%) percent of our total assets, and, accordingly, do not represent a significant component of our assets, there can be no assurance that there will not be significant fluctuations in the equity markets that reduce the value of these investments including, but not limited to, a total loss of the value of these investments.

We require substantial amounts of raw materials in our operations, including metals and energy. We purchase all of our raw materials from outside sources, and our metals purchases are from a select group of suppliers.  As a result, our purchases of metals are concentrated with a few suppliers and any interruptions in their ability to supply these materials could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows. The availability and price of raw materials may also be subject to shortages in supply, suppliers’ allocations to other purchasers, and interruptions in production by suppliers (including by reason of labor strikes or work stoppages at our suppliers’ plants).  In addition, although we are subject to changes in exchange rates and worldwide price levels of raw materials, our contracts with our suppliers provide that we are not responsible for any 3-5% increase in commodity prices, including price increases resulting from currency fluctuations.  Our management has in the past and intends in the future to pass any additional increases in price to our customers.
 
Our subsidiary corporations in the People’s Republic of China conduct business in the local currency and therefore, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk resulting from fluctuations in foreign currencies. This risk could adversely impact our results and financial condition. We believe our current exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is immaterial, based upon the aforementioned provisions with respect to price increases found in our contracts with our suppliers. We have not entered into any foreign currency exchange and option contracts to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk and the corresponding variability in operating results as a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
 
 
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Our principal executive and financial officer, after evaluating 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)), has concluded that as of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009 our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective 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 and Principal Financial 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 control over financial reporting identified during the period covered by this report which have materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
