The
accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial
statements
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
A - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
SORL Auto
Parts, Inc. (the “Company”) is principally engaged in the manufacture and
distribution of automotive air brake valves and related components for
commercial vehicles weighing more than three tons, such as trucks and buses,
through its 90% ownership of Ruili Group Ruian Auto Parts Company Limited (the
“Joint Venture”) in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). The
Company distributes products both in China and internationally under the SORL
trademarks. The Company’s product range includes approximately 40 categories of
brake valves with over 1,000 different specifications.
NOTE
B - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
conjunction with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted as permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes that the
disclosures contained in this report are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form
10-K and other reports filed with the SEC.
The
accompanying condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods
presented. The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily
comparable to, or indicative of, results of any other interim period or for the
fiscal year taken as a whole.
Further,
in connection with preparation of the condensed consolidated financial
statements and in accordance with the recently issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 165 “Subsequent Events” (SFAS 165), management has
evaluated subsequent events through August 13, 2009 (the financial statement
issue date).
NOTE
C- RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STANDARDS
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of SFAS 115",
which allows for the option to measure financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair
value option has been elected are reported in earnings. The adoption of SFAS No.
159 has not had a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of
operations or financial position.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued FASB 141(R), "Business Combinations" of which the
objective is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and
comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its
financial reports about a business combination and its effects. The new standard
requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and
only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction;
establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all
assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose
to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and
understand the nature and financial effect of the business
combination.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued FASB 160 "Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No.51" of which the
objective is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the
financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated
financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards by
requiring all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in
subsidiaries in the same way - as an entity in the consolidated financial
statements. Moreover, Statement 160 eliminates the diversity that currently
exists in accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling
interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions.
Both FASB
141(R) and FASB 160 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2008.The adoption of these standards has not had any significant impact on its
consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“SAB 110”). SAB
110 permits companies to continue to use the simplified method, under certain
circumstances, in estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” options beyond
December 31, 2007. SAB 110 updates guidance provided in SAB 107 that previously
stated that the Staff would not expect a company to use the simplified method
for share option grants after December 31, 2007. The adoption of SAB 110 has not
had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities- an amendment of FASB statement No.133.SFAS No.161 requires
enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and
thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. SFAS No.161 is
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. As such,
the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 has not had
significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee
Insurance Contracts—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60" (“SFAS 163”).
SFAS 163 interprets Statement 60 and amends existing accounting pronouncements
to clarify their application to the financial guarantee insurance contracts
included within the scope of that Statement. SFAS 163 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all
interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, the Company is required to
adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31,
2009. The adoption of SFAS 163 has not had any impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
In June
2008, the FASB Task Force reached a consensus-for-exposure that an entity should
determine whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is
indexed to its own stock first by evaluating the instrument’s contingent
exercise provisions, if any, and then by evaluating the instrument’s settlement
provisions. Issue No. 07-5 (EITF 07-5), "Determining Whether an Instrument (or
Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock" is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is not
permitted. The adoption of EITF 07-5 has not had any significant impact on its
consolidated financial statements.
In June
2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 166
“Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No.
140” (“SFAS 166”). SFAS 166 improves the relevance, representational
faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity
provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the
effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred
financial assets. SFAS 166 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting
entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for
interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and
annual reporting periods thereafter. As such, the Company is required to adopt
this standard in January 2010. The Company is evaluating the impact
the adoption of SFAS 166 will have on its consolidated financial
statements.
In June
2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 167
“Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”). SFAS 167 improves
financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and
to address (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46
(revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, as a
result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in
SFAS 166 and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key
provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and
disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful
information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity.
SFAS 167 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first
annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods
within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting
periods thereafter. As such, the Company is required to adopt this standard in
January 2010. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 167 will
have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June
2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 168, "
The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles
”. SFAS 168 replaces SFAS 162 and establishes the
FASB Accounting Standards
Codification
as the source of authoritative accounting principles
recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 168
is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods
ending after September 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of SFAS 168 on its consolidated financial statements but does not
expect it to have a material effect.

Pursuant
to the relevant laws and regulations of Sino-foreign joint venture enterprises,
the profits of the Company's subsidiary, which are based on their PRC statutory
financial statements, are available for distribution in the form of cash
dividends after they have satisfied all the PRC tax liabilities, provided for
losses in previous years, and made appropriations to reserve funds, as
determined at the discretion of the board of directors in accordance with PRC
accounting standards and regulations.
As
stipulated by the relevant laws and regulations for enterprises operating in the
PRC, the Company's Sino-foreign joint venture is required to make annual
appropriations to the statutory surplus funds. In accordance with the relevant
PRC regulations and the articles of association of the respective companies, the
Joint Venture is required to allocate a certain percentage of its profits after
taxation, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards applicable
to the Company, to the statutory surplus reserve until such reserve reaches 50%
of the registered capital of the Company.
Net
income as reported in the US GAAP financial statements differs from that as
reported in the PRC statutory financial statements. In accordance with the
relevant laws and regulations in the PRC, the profits available for distribution
are based on the statutory financial statements. If the Joint Venture has
foreign currency available after meeting its operational needs, the Joint
Venture may make its profit distributions in foreign currency to the extent
foreign currency is available. Otherwise, it is necessary to obtain approval and
convert such distributions at an authorized bank. The reserve fund consists of
retained earnings which has been allocated to the statutory reserve
fund.

Ventures, the Joint Venture was exempt from income taxes in the PRC for each of
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Thereafter, the Joint Venture

25% and the Joint Venture was entitled to a tax concession of 50% of the
applicable income tax rate of 25% for the year ended December 31,
2008.
The
Company increased its investment in the Joint Venture as a result of its
financing in December, 2006. In accordance with the Income Tax Law of the
People's Republic of China on Foreign-invested Enterprises and Foreign
Enterprises, the Joint Venture was eligible for additional preferential tax
treatment for the years 2007 and 2008. In those years, the Joint Venture
was entitled to an income tax exemption on all pre-tax income generated by the
company above its pre-tax income generated in the fiscal year 2006. In
2009, 2010 and 2011, the Joint Venture will enjoy a 50% exemption from the
applicable income tax rate of 25% on any pre-tax income above its 2006 pre-tax
income. In addition, the Joint Venture was entitled to a PRC tax credit
equal to 40% of the additional investment in the Joint Venture used to purchase
eligible domestic equipment, subject to certain limitations.

V – STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
(1) The
Company’s 2005 Stock Compensation Plan (the Plan) permits the grant of share
options and shares to its employees for up to 1,700,000 shares of common stock.
The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its
employees with those of its shareholders. Option awards are generally granted
with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the
date of grant.
Pursuant
to the Plan, the Company issued 60,000 options with an exercise price of $4.79
per share on March 1, 2006. The 60,000 options became fully vested and
exercisable on March 1, 2006, and expired on March 1, 2009.
The Company
accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R,
“Share-Based Payment.” The fair value of each option award is estimated on the
date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model that uses the
assumptions noted in the following table.

Sales
consist of air brake valves and related components manufactured by SORL and sold
to domestic original equipment manufacturers (OEM), aftermarket customers and
export market as well as distribution of non-valve auto parts sourced from the
Ruili Group.
Net sales
were $29,740,212 and $42,186,119 for the three months ended June 30, 2009
and 2008, respectively. Compared with the same period of 2008, net sales for the
three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $12.4 million or 29.5% to $29.7
million. The decrease in sales was primarily due to the global financial
crisis and macro-economic recession, which weakened demand from our Chinese and
international customers.

With the
implementation of China III emission standard beginning on July 1, 2008, the
consumption of commercial vehicles equipped with China II engines spurred
significantly in the first half year of 2008, which resulted in the higher than
usual output and sales volume of commercial vehicles in the first half year of
2008. However, owing to the global financial crisis, persistent downturn of the
macro-economy and weak global auto market, the output and sales of heavy duty
trucks and the demand for air brake valves from our OEM customers declined in
the second quarter of 2009. In light of these negative factors, we increasingly
focused on the bus and agricultural vehicle market to lessen the negative impact
of these factors. As a result of these negative factors and our positive
actions, our Chinese OEM sales decreased by $3.4 million, or 19.4%, to $14.1
million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $17.5 million for
the same period of 2008.
Our
Chinese Joint Venture achieved total revenue of $7.2 million in Chinese
aftermarket sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $3.3
million, or 31.4% from $10.5 million compared to the same period of last year,
as a result of our customers decreasing their inventories in order to lower
their risk.
The
global financial crisis has negatively affected our international customers, and
caused local currencies to depreciate against the US dollar, while the lack of
confidence in the growth of the world macro-economy has made our customers
decrease their inventories in order to lower their risk. Consequently, our
export sales decreased by $5.7 million or 40.4%, to $8.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $14.1 million for the same period of
2008.
COST
OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT
Cost of
sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $21,318,699, a decrease
of $9,458,074, or 30.7% from $30,776,773 for the same period last year. Our
gross profit decreased by 26.2% from $11,409,346 for the second quarter of 2008
to $8,421,513 for the second quarter of 2009.
We
focused on increasing management efficiency, improving the technologies of
products, and improving product portfolio to increase our gross profit margin.
Gross margin increased to 28.3% from 27.0% for the three months ended June
30, 2009 compared with 2008. We believe that our continued expansion to the
higher-profit new valve products will also help us to maintain or increase our
gross profit margins.
SELLING
AND DISTRIBUTION EXPENSES
Selling
and distribution expenses were $2,060,718 for the three months ended June 30,
2009, as compared to $2,771,803 for the same period of 2008, a decrease of
$711,085 or 25.7%.
Selling
and distribution expenses include salaries and wages, transportation expense,
packaging expense, warranty expense, expenses associated with traveling,
advertising, promotions, trade shows and seminars, and other expenses. The
decrease in selling and distribution expenses for the three months ended June
30, 2009 was primarily due to the following factors:
|
|
(1)
|
Decreased
transportation expense: During the second quarter of 2009, transportation
costs decreased by $439,700 to $497,306 from $937,006 for the second
quarter of 2008. The decrease in transportation expense was mainly due to
decreased sales.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(2)
|
Decreased
product warranty expense. The Company recorded $391,205 of product
warranty expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to
$612,994 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $221,789,
also related to decreased sales.
|
GENERAL
AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General
and administrative expenses were $2,273,064 for the three months ended June 30,
2009, as compared to $2,718,217 for the same period of 2008, a decrease of
$445,153 or 16.4%.The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in R&D
expense, which is included in general and administrative expenses. During
the three months ended June 30, 2009, R&D expense decreased by $476,357 to
$791,307, as compared to $1,267,664 of R&D expense for the same period
of 2008, as discussed below.
RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE
Research
and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, and other
headcount-related expenses associated with product development. Research and
development expenses also include third-party development costs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2009, research and development expense was $791,307, as
compared to $1,267,664 for the same period of 2008, a decrease of
$476,357. The Company expects to maintain the ratio of research and
development expenses to total sales at approximately 2.5%, the same level as in
2008.
DEPRECIATION
AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation
and amortization expense increased to $746,805 for the three months ended June
30, 2009, compared with that of $674,504 for the same period of 2008, an
increase of $72,301. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was
primarily due to the purchase of production equipment.
FINANCIAL
EXPENSE
Financial
expense mainly consists of interest expense and exchange loss. The
financial expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $374,191
to $9,129 from $383,320 for the same period of 2008, which was
mainly attributed to fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars
and RMB. Management is studying alternative methods for managing its risks
associated with currency translation, such as the diversification of currencies
used in export sales.
OTHER
INCOME
Other
income was $176,244 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to
$222,762 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $46,518. The
decrease was mainly due to a decrease in sales of raw material scraps for the
three months ended June 30, 2009.
INCOME
TAX
The Joint
Venture is registered in the PRC, and is therefore subject to state and local
income taxes within the PRC at the applicable tax rate on the taxable income as
reported in the PRC statutory financial statements in accordance with relevant
income tax laws. According to applicable tax laws regarding Sino-Foreign Joint
Ventures, the Joint Venture was exempt from income taxes in the PRC for each of
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Thereafter, the Joint Venture
was entitled to a 50% income tax deduction for each of the three years ended
December 31, 2008. Thus, the Joint Venture was exempted from PRC income tax in
both fiscal 2004 and 2005, and entitled to a tax concession of 50% of the
applicable income tax rate of 26.4% for the two years ended December 31, 2006
and 2007. With the new PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, effective on 1st January
2008, China’s enterprises are generally subject to a PRC income tax rate of
25% and the Joint Venture was entitled to a tax concession of 50% of the
applicable income tax rate of 25% for the year ended December 31,
2008.
The
Company increased its investment in the Joint Venture as a result of its
financing in December, 2006. In accordance with the Income Tax Law of the
People's Republic of China on Foreign-invested Enterprises and Foreign
Enterprises, the Joint Venture was eligible for additional preferential tax
treatment for the years 2007 and 2008. In those years, the Joint Venture
was entitled to an income tax exemption on all pre-tax income generated by the
company above its pre-tax income generated in the fiscal year 2006. In
2009, 2010 and 2011, the Joint Venture will enjoy a 50% exemption from the
applicable income tax rate of 25% on any pre-tax income above its 2006 pre-tax
income. In addition, the Joint Venture was entitled to a PRC tax credit equal to
40% of the additional investment in the Joint Venture used to purchase eligible
domestic equipment, subject to certain limitations. During the second quarter
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Joint Venture received an income tax benefit
of $0 and $384,342 for purchase of domestic equipment, respectively, which has
been reflected as a reduction to current income tax expense. As a result,
income tax expense of $914,125 and $318,757 were recorded for the
quarter ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION
On March
1, 2006, the Board of Directors approved a total of 60,000 options to be issued
to the four independent members of the Board of Directors. The contractual term
of the options was three years. Total deferred stock-based compensation expenses
related to stock options amounted to $178,904. This amount was amortized over
the three year vesting period in a manner consistent with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 123R. The amortization of deferred stock-based
compensation for these equity arrangements was $0 and $14,909 for the three
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As of March 31, 2009,
all expenses related to 60,000 options issued had been fully
amortized.
Although
the Company anticipates future issuances of stock awards may have a
material impact on reported net income, we do not expect these awards to have a
material impact on future cash flow.
NET
INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARIES
Non-controlling
interest in subsidiaries represents a 10% non-controlling interest in the Joint
Venture. Net income attributable to non-controlling interest in subsidiaries
amounted to $332,972 and $527,929 for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
NET
INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO STOCKHOLDERS
The net
income attributable to stockholders for the quarter ended June 30,
2009 decreased by $1,739,551, to $2,996,746 from $4,736,297 for the quarter
ended June 30, 2008 due to the factors discussed above. Earnings per share
(“EPS”), both basic and diluted, for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
were $0.16 and $0.26 per share, respectively.
FINANCIAL
CONDITION
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
OPERATING
- Net cash provided in operating activities was $5,392,361 for three months
ended June 30, 2009 compared with $1,365,797 of net cash provided in operating
activities in the same period in 2008, an increase of $4,026,564, primarily
due to the increased cash flow contributed by changes in prepayments, inventory,
other current assets, income tax payable, and notes receivable and
payable.
At June
30, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $15,762,830, as compared
to cash and cash equivalents of $7,795,987 at December 31, 2008. The Company had
working capital of $66,147,679 at June 30, 2009, as compared to working capital
of $61,586,125 at December 31, 2008, reflecting current ratios of 4.92:1 and
5.36:1, respectively.
INVESTING
- The Company expended less cash for investing activities in the second quarter
of 2009 than in the second quarter of 2008. During the three months ended
June 30, 2008, the Company expended net cash of $630,146 in investing
activities, including $552,037 for acquisition of property and equipment to
support the growth of the business. For the three months ended June 30, 2009,
the Company utilized $384,234 in investing activities.
FINANCING
- The Company had no borrowings under its credit facilities during the
quarter ended June 30, 2009. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2008, the
Company borrowed $1,967,686 and repaid $1,037,327 of its outstanding
debt.
Management
of the Company has taken a number of steps to restructure its customer base and
phase out accounts which failed to make prompt payments. The Company also placed
more emphasis on receivable collection. During the second quarter of 2009, the
Company continued developing higher profit margin new products, and adopting
steps for further cost saving such as improving material utilization rate.
Meanwhile, the Company maintains good relationships with local banks. We believe
that our current cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flow generated
from operations and our bank lines of credit will be sufficient to finance
our working capital requirements for the foreseeable future.
CURRENCY
RISK AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - Although our reporting currency is the U.S.
dollar, the functional currency of Joint Venture is RMB. As a result, we are
exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may
be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB.
If the RMB depreciates against the U.S. dollar, the value of our Renminbi
revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. dollar financial
statements will decline. In recent years, the RMB has been appreciating against
the U.S. dollar.
Assets
and liabilities of our operating subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars
at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, their equity accounts are
translated at historical exchange rate and their income and expenses items are
translated using the average rate for the period. Any resulting exchange
differences are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.
Because of the minor appreciation of the RMB against the USD during the quarter
ended on June 30, 2009, (i) we recorded an exchange loss of $17,120 from export
sales for which the payments to us were in USD, and (ii) we also recorded a
foreign currency translation adjustment of $54,346 for the quarter, a positive
number due to our functional currency in RMB and the appreciation of the RMB
against the USD. The Company is adopting such steps as the diversification of
currencies used in export sales, and the negotiation of export contracts with
fixed exchange rates.
As the
Company is currently free of indebtedness for borrowed money, we do not have any
interest rate risk at present. However, to the extent that the Company arranges
new borrowings in the future, an increase in market interest rate would cause a
commensurate increase in the interest expense related to such
borrowings.
OFF-BALANCE
SHEET AGREEMENTS
At June
30, 2009, we did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures or
have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered
off-balance sheet arrangements.

Sales
consist of air brake valves and related components manufactured by SORL and sold
to domestic original equipment manufacturers (OEM), aftermarket customers and
export market as well as distribution of non-valve auto parts sourced from the
Ruili Group.
Net sales
were $49,983,950 and $72,844,561 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008, respectively. Compared with the same period of 2008, net sales for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $22.8 million or 31.3% to $50.0 million.
The decrease in sales was primarily due to the global financial crisis and
macro-economic recession, which weakened demand from our Chinese and
international customers.

With the
implementation of China III emission standard beginning on July 1, 2008, the
consumption of commercial vehicles equipped with China II engines spurred
significantly in the first half year of 2008, which resulted in the higher than
usual output and sales volume of commercial vehicles in the first half year of
2008. However, owing to the global financial crisis, persistent downturn of the
macro-economy and weak global auto market, the output and sales of heavy duty
trucks and the demand for air brake valves from our OEM customers declined in
the six months ended June 30, 2009. In light of these negative factors, we
increasingly focused on the bus and agricultural vehicle market to lessen the
negative impact of these factors. As a result of these negative factors and our
positive actions, our Chinese OEM sales decreased by $5.0 million, or 17.7%, to
$23.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $28.2 million
for the same period of 2008.
Our
Chinese Joint Venture achieved total revenue of $13.7 million in Chinese
aftermarket sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $6.7
million, or 32.8% from $20.4 million compared to the same period of last year,
as a result of our customers decreasing their inventories in order to lower
their risk.
The
global financial crisis has negatively affected our international customers, and
caused local currencies to depreciate against the US dollar, while the lack of
confidence in the growth of the world macro-economy has made our customers
decrease their inventories in order to lower their risk. Consequently, our
export sales decreased by $11.2 million or 46.3%, to $13.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $24.2 million for the same period of
2008.
COST
OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT
For the
six months
ended
June 30
, 2009
, cost of sales was $36,049,624, a
decrease of $16,743,730, or 31.7% from $52,793,354 for the same period last
year.
Our gross profit
decreased by 30.5%
f
rom
$20,051,207
for the six months ended June 30, 2008
to $13,934,326 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
We
focused on increasing management efficiency, improving the technologies of
products, and improving product portfolio to increase our gross profit margin.
Gross margin increased by 0.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, to 27.9%
from 27.5 % for the same period of 2008. We believe that our continued expansion
to the higher-profit new valve products will also help us to maintain or
increase our gross profit margins.
SELLING
AND DISTRIBUTION EXPENSES
Selling
and distribution expenses were $3,378,452 for the six months ended June 30,
2009, as compared to $4,611,078 for the same period of 2008, a decrease of
$1,232,626 or 26.7%.
Selling
and distribution expenses include salaries and wages, transportation expense,
packaging expense, warranty expense, expenses associated with traveling,
advertising, promotions, trade shows and seminars, and other expenses. The
decrease in selling and distribution expenses for the quarter was primarily due
to the following factors:
|
|
|
|
|
|
(1)
|
Decreased
transportation expense: During the six months ended June 30, 2009,
transportation costs decreased by $724,997 to $724,919 from
$1,449,916 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in
transportation expense was mainly due to decreased
sales.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(2)
|
Decreased
product warranty expense. The Company recorded $657,452 of product
warranty expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to
$1,060,353 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $402,901,
also related to decreased sales.
|
GENERAL
AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General
and administrative expenses were $5,065,813 for the six months ended June 30,
2009, as compared to $4,694,418 for the same period of 2008, an increase of
$371,395 or 7.9% mainly due to the following factor:
With the
impact of the U.S. financial crisis and weakening macro-economic environment,
the Company extended its payment terms on accounts receivable from certain
customers. As a result, the Company recorded more allowance for doubtful
accounts in the first quarter of 2009. During the six months ended June 30,
2009, the bad debt provision was $452,925, as compared to $21,282 for the same
period of 2008.
RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE
Research
and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, and other
headcount-related expenses associated with product development. Research and
development expenses also include third-party development costs. For the six
months ended June 30, 2009, research and development expense was $1,557,758, as
compared to $1,736,962 for the same period of 2008, a decrease of
$179,204.
DEPRECIATION
AND AMORTIZATION
Depre
ciation and amortization expense
increased to $
1,476,238
for the six months ended
June 30
, 2009, compared with that
of
$1,329,059 for the same period of 2008,
an increase of $
147,179.
The increase in
depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due
to
the
purchase of production
equipment
.
FINANCIAL
EXPENSE
Financial
expense mainly consists of interest expense and exchange loss. The
financial expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $714,905
to $38,091 from $752,996 for the same period of 2008, which was
mainly attributed to fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars
and RMB. Management is studying alternative methods for managing its risks
associated with currency translation, such as the diversification of currencies
used in export sales.
OTHER
INCOME
Other
income was $215,461 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to
$333,840 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of
$118,379. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in sales of raw
material scraps for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
INCOME
TAX
The Joint
Venture is registered in the PRC, and is therefore subject to state and local
income taxes within the PRC at the applicable tax rate on the taxable income as
reported in the PRC statutory financial statements in accordance with relevant
income tax laws. According to applicable tax laws regarding Sino-Foreign Joint
Ventures, the Joint Venture was exempt from income taxes in the PRC for each of
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Thereafter, the Joint Venture
was entitled to a 50% income tax deduction for each of the three years ended
December 31, 2008. Thus, the Joint Venture was exempted from PRC income tax in
both fiscal 2004 and 2005, and entitled to a tax concession of 50% of the
applicable income tax rate of 26.4% for the two years ended December 31, 2006
and 2007. With the new PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, effective on 1st January
2008, China’s enterprises are generally subject to a PRC income tax rate of
25% and the Joint Venture was entitled to a tax concession of 50% of the
applicable income tax rate of 25% for the year ended December 31,
2008.
The
Company increased its investment in the Joint Venture as a result of its
financing in December, 2006. In accordance with the Income Tax Law of the
People's Republic of China on Foreign-invested Enterprises and Foreign
Enterprises, the Joint Venture was eligible for additional preferential tax
treatment for the years 2007 and 2008. In those years, the Joint Venture
was entitled to an income tax exemption on all pre-tax income generated by the
company above its pre-tax income generated in the fiscal year 2006. In
2009, 2010 and 2011, the Joint Venture will enjoy a 50% exemption from the
applicable income tax rate of 25% on any pre-tax income above its 2006 pre-tax
income. In addition, the Joint Venture was entitled to a PRC tax credit equal to
40% of the additional investment in the Joint Venture used to purchase eligible
domestic equipment, subject to certain limitations. During the six months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Joint Venture received an income tax benefit of
$0 and $384,342 for purchase of domestic equipment, respectively, which has
been reflected as a reduction to current income tax expense. As a result,
income tax expense of $1,272,091 and $882,231 were recorded for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION
On March
1, 2006, the Board of Directors approved a total of 60,000 options to be issued
to the four independent members of the Board of Directors. The contractual term
of the options was three years. Total deferred stock-based compensation expenses
related to stock options amounted to $178,904. This amount was amortized over
the three year vesting period in a manner consistent with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 123R. The amortization of deferred stock-based
compensation for these equity arrangements was $9,935 and $29,818 for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As of March 31, 2009,
all expenses related to 60,000 options issued had been fully
amortized.
Although
the Company anticipates future issuances of stock awards may have a
material impact on reported net income, we do not expect these awards to have a
material impact on future cash flow.
NET
INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARIES
Non-controlling
interest in subsidiaries represents a 10% non-controlling interest in the Joint
Venture. Net income attributable to non-controlling interest in subsidiaries
amounted to $439,066 and $921,948 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008, respectively.
NET
INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO STOCKHOLDERS
The net
income attributable to stockholders for the six months ended June 30,
2009 decreased by $4,325,755, to $3,941,658 from $8,267,413 for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 due to the factors discussed above. Earnings per
share (“EPS”), both basic and diluted, for the six months ended June 30, 2009
and 2008, were $0.22 and $0.45 per share, respectively.

ended June 30, 2009 compared with $2,609,173 of net cash provided in operating
activities in the same period in 2008, an increase of $5,928,312, primarily
due to the increased cash flow contributed by changes in prepayments, inventory,
other current assets, income tax payable and notes receivable.
At June
30, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $15,762,830, as compared
to cash and cash equivalents of $7,795,987 at December 31, 2008. The Company had

of $61,586,125 at December 31, 2008, reflecting current ratios of 4.92:1 and
5.36:1, respectively.
INVESTING
- The Company expended less cash for investing activities in the six months
ended June 30, 2009 than in the six months ended June 30, 2008. During the six
months ended June 30, 2008, the Company expended net cash of
$1,188,165 in investing activities, including $1,109,428 for acquisition of
property and equipment to support the growth of the business. For the six months
ended June 30, 2009, the Company utilized $576,622 in investing
activities.
FINANCING
- The Company had no borrowings under its credit facilities during the

Company borrowed $1,967,686 and repaid $3,469,793 of its outstanding

CURRENCY
RISK AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - Although our reporting currency is the U.S.
dollar, the functional currency of Joint Venture is RMB. As a result, we are
exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may
be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB.
If the RMB depreciates against the U.S. dollar, the value of our Renminbi
revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. dollar financial

the U.S. dollar.
Assets
and liabilities of our operating subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars
at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, their equity accounts are
translated at historical exchange rate and their income and expenses items are
translated using the average rate for the period. Any resulting exchange
differences are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.
Because of the minor appreciation of the RMB against the USD during the six
months ended on June 30, 2009, (i) we recorded an exchange loss of $36,322 from
export sales for which the payments to us were in USD, and (ii) we also recorded
a foreign currency translation adjustment of $37,064 for the six months ended on
June 30, 2009, a positive number due to our functional currency in RMB and the
appreciation of the RMB against the USD. The Company is adopting such steps as
the diversification of currencies used in export sales, and the negotiation of
export contracts with fixed exchange rates.
As the
Company is currently free of indebtedness for borrowed money, we do not have any
interest rate risk at present. However, to the extent that the Company arranges
new borrowings in the future, an increase in market interest rate would cause a
commensurate increase in the interest expense related to such
borrowings.
