Corporation information

   

Golden Elephant Glass Technology, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 2, 1993. The Company’s shares are quoted for trading on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board in the United States of America.

   

The Company is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of float glasses in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The Company's product offerings include float glass, ultra-clear glass, colored flat glass and high grade glass processed products such as mirrors, tempered glass, insulated glass, etc., and are marketed primarily under the "Golden Elephant" brand name. The major target markets of the Company's products are the PRC.

   
2.

Basis of presentation

   
(i)

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulation and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

   

In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the three-month periods have been made. Results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year.

   

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, the noncontrolling interest is presented below stockholders’ equity. Certain 2008 amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity as previously reported.

   
(ii)

Going concern

   

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Basis of presentation (Cont’d)

   
(ii)

Going concern (Cont’d)

   

The Company incurred a net loss of $1,316,693 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and had net current liabilities of $15,163,749 and accumulated deficit of $2,121,939 as of March 31, 2009. In addition, due to deteriorating global economic environment and shrinking gross profit margin of float glass, the management decided to implement a maintenance program for both 300 tons and 500 tons float glass production lines in late November 2008 and January 2009 respectively. During the maintenance period, all operations of the production lines and all manufacturing of the float glass products are suspended. Referring to the above factors, doubt may be raised to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

   

The management believes that the suspension of production lines during deteriorating global economic environment provides an opportunity to mitigate the negative economic impact to the Company. Other than the routine maintenance, the Company’s maintenance program also involves upgrades to its production lines for producing higher end products for improving the profitability in the future. However, the Company has no assurance with respect to the maintenance program. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Summary of significant accounting policies

   

Principles of consolidation

   

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

   

Concentrations of credit risk

   

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables and other receivables. As of March 31, 2009, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality. With respect to trade receivables and other receivables, the Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade receivables and other receivables and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts of trade receivables and other receivables.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157 (“SFAS 157”) on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

SFAS No. 107 “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“SFAS 107”) requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments including those financial instruments for which SFAS No. 159 fair value option was not elected. As of March 31, 2009, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, trade, bills and other payables approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity. The carrying amounts of secured short-term bank loans and loan from Madam Tan approximate their fair values because the applicable interest rates approximate current market rates.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. Effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Board does not expect that this Statement will result in a change in current practice. However, transition provisions have been provided in the unusual circumstance that the application of the provisions of this Statement results in a change in practice. The adoption of this statement has no material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements arising from adoption of this guidance has been stated in Note 2 (i).

Recently issued accounting pronouncements (Cont’d)

  

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised) “Business Combinations”. SFAS No. 141 (Revised) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement has no material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

  

In April 2009, the FASB issued three FASB Staff Positions (FSP’s) to provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities. FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in SFAS No.157. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on securities. These three FSP’s are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We adopted the provisions of these FSP’s for the period ending March 31, 2009. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact these FSP’s will have on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

Income taxes

  

United States

  

The Company is incorporated in the United States of America and is subject to United States of America tax law. No provisions for income taxes have been made as the Company has no taxable income for the reporting periods. The applicable income tax rates for the Company for the reporting periods are 34%. The Company has not provided deferred taxes on undistributed earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries as of March 31, 2009, as it is the Company’s current policy to reinvest these earnings in non-U.S. operation.

  

BVI

  

Dollar Come was incorporated in the BVI and, under the current laws of the BVI, not subject to income taxes.

Before the implementation of the new enterprise income tax (“EIT”) law (as discussed below), Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIE”) established in the PRC are generally granted certain benefits or holiday by the relevant tax authority. On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China passed the new Corporate Income Tax Law (“EIT Law”), and on November 28, 2007, the State Council of China passed the Implementing Rules for the EIT Law (“Implementing Rules”) which took effect on January 1, 2008. The EIT Law and Implementing Rules impose a unified EIT of 25% on all domestic-invested enterprises and FIEs, unless they qualify under certain limited exceptions. Therefore, nearly all FIEs are subject to the new tax rate alongside other domestic businesses rather than benefiting from the old tax laws applicable to FIEs, and its associated preferential tax treatments, beginning January 1, 2008.

Despite these changes, the EIT Law gives the FIEs established before March 16, 2007 (“Old FIEs”), such as our subsidiary Fuxin Hengrui and Xianheng, a five-year grandfather period during which they can continue to enjoy their existing preferential tax treatments. During this five-year grandfather period, the Old FIEs which enjoyed tax rates lower than 25% under the original EIT Law shall gradually increase their EIT rate by 2% per year until the tax rate reaches 25%. In addition, the Old FIEs that are eligible for the “two-year exemption and three-year half reduction” or “five-year exemption and five-year half-reduction” under the original EIT Law, are allowed to remain to enjoy their preference until these holidays expire.

In addition to the changes to the current tax structure, under the EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a resident enterprise and will normally be subject to an EIT of 25% on its global income. The Implementing Rules define the term “de facto management bodies” as “an establishment that exercises, in substance, overall management and control over the production, business, personnel, accounting, etc., of a Chinese enterprise.” If the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that the Company should be classified as a resident enterprise, then the organization’s global income will be subject to PRC income tax of 25%.

Under the income tax law and the related implementing rules, FIEs engaging in manufacturing businesses with a term of operation exceeding ten years may, subject to approval from local taxation authorities, be entitled to a two-year tax exemption from PRC EIT starting from the year they become profitable and a 50% tax reduction for the three years thereafter.

As approved by the relevant PRC tax authority, Fuxin Hengrui and Xianheng was entitled to a two-year exemption from EIT followed by a 50% tax exemption for the next three years, commencing from the first cumulative profit-making year in the fiscal financial year. The tax holiday of Fuxin Hengrui commenced in 2004. Accordingly, Fuxin Hengrui is entitled to a 50% reduction on EIT tax rate of 12.5% for 2008 and will be subject to an EIT rate of 25% from 2009. Xianheng’s tax holiday commenced in 2008, therefore, Xianheng is exempted from EIT in 2008 and 2009 and will be subject to a reduced EIT rate of 12.5% from 2010 to 2012.

OVERVIEW

We are a China-based float glass manufacturer. Our product offerings include float glass, ultra-clear glass (also called crystal glass), colored float glass and high grade glass processed products such as mirrors, glass artwork, tempered glass, insulated glass, laminated glass, lacquered glass and similar products. We have been manufacturing our glass products from our production facility in Fuxin City, Liaoning Province, China since 2002 and sell our products to end users in China, Asia, Europe, South America and South Africa.

We design, develop, manufacture and market our products for use in a variety of end products, including automobiles, commercial and residential buildings, construction materials, furniture and display cases, lighting fixtures and decorative glass artwork, bath fixtures and electrical household appliances, such as refrigerators and microwave ovens. We sell our products to automakers and auto parts suppliers, building contractors and building material suppliers and manufacturers of retail goods, both directly and through a broad distributor network. Our major customers include Anshan Xingsheng Glass Distribution Office, Guangzhou Runcheng Commerce and Trade Co., Ltd., Feshan Jianheng Commerce and Trade Co., Ltd and Fujian Chengda Glass Trade Co., Ltd.

Our glass and glass products are manufactured in a broad range of colors and specifications which are usually measured by thickness and width and range between 2-23 millimeters in thickness and 3,300 millimeters in width. Our glass products are marketed primarily under the “Golden Elephant” brand name. Our total annual production capacity of our glass products is currently 4.95 million weight cases and we maintain two production lines which have an aggregate daily melting capacity of over 800 tons.

We strive to be a low cost provider of high quality products. Our glass products have been given a GB 11615-199 certification by the Chinese National Quality Standards for glass products and passed the annual inspections conducted by Chinese National Glass Inspection Committee since 2004.

Our financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were, and are expected to be for the foreseeable future, suboptimal due to the worldwide global economic crisis. Since many of our customers operate in industry segments that have been hardest hit by the economic crisis, such as the automotive, construction and home furnishing industries, our performance has consequently suffered. Until the amelioration of the economic crisis, particularly in the industry segments in which our targeted customers operate, we expect to continue to experience significant challenges. In response to these challenges, we will continue to implement what we believe to be prudent, cost-saving measures in a judicious and timely fashion. Recently, we suspended operations of our float glass manufacturing operations in order to perform maintenance and system upgrades that eventually would be needed. We opted to suspend operations and initiate the maintenance program at a time when pricing and demand for our products was low in order to minimize the adverse effect of suspending operations. We intend to continue to take appropriate steps to minimize the adverse effects of the global economic crisis on our operations and financial performance. However, our independent auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Recent Developments

As of the date of this report, we have invested $1.36 million for the upgrades of 300T production line and have finished the upgrades for auxiliary departments such as cold junction and auto supply. We are still in the process of upgrading furnaces.

First Quarter Financial Performance Highlights

We continued to experience significant challenges in the first quarter of 2009. We met our existing sales orders for float glass products through subcontracting arrangements, which shrank our profit margin, and we experienced a significant reduction in sales of float glass and float glass products.

The followings are some financial highlights for the first quarter of 2009:

Sales Revenue: Sales revenue decreased $9.6 million, or 80.8%, to $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2009 from $11.8 million for the same period last year.

Gross Margin: Gross margin was -45.8% for the first quarter of 2009, as compared to 18.6% for the same period in 2008.

Net Income: Net income decreased $3.3 million, or 166.5%, to -$1.3 million for the first quarter of 2009, from $2.0 million for the same period of last year.

Fully diluted net income per share: Fully diluted net loss per share was $0.05 for the first quarter of 2009, as compared to a net earning per share of $0.08 for the same period last year.

Taxation

United States

We are subject to United States tax at a tax rate of 34%. No provision for income taxes in the United States has been made as we had no taxable income in the first quarter of 2009.

British Virgin Islands

Dollar Come Investments Limited was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, or BVI, and, under the current laws of the BVI, is not subject to income taxes.

PRC

Before the implementation of the enterprise income tax (“EIT”) law (as discussed below), Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIE”) established in the PRC are generally subject to an EIT rate of 33.0%, which includes a 30.0% state income tax and a 3.0% local income tax. On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China passed the new Corporate Income Tax Law (“EIT Law”), and on November 28, 2007, the State Council of China passed the Implementing Rules for the EIT Law (“Implementing Rules”) which took effect on January 1, 2008. The EIT Law and Implementing Rules impose a unified EIT of 25.0% on all domestic-invested enterprises and FIEs, unless they qualify under certain limited exceptions. Therefore, nearly all FIEs are subject to the new tax rate alongside other domestic businesses rather than benefiting from the old tax laws applicable to FIEs, and its associated preferential tax treatments, beginning January 1, 2008.

- 17 -


Despite these pending changes, the EIT Law gives the FIEs established before March 16, 2007 (“Old FIEs”), such as our subsidiary Fuxin Hengrui and Fuxin Xianheng, a five-year grandfather period during which they can continue to enjoy their existing preferential tax treatments. During this five-year grandfather period, the Old FIEs which enjoyed tax rates lower than 25% under the original EIT Law shall gradually increase their EIT rate by 2% per year until the tax rate reaches 25%. In addition, the Old FIEs that are eligible for the “two-year exemption and three-year half reduction” or “five-year exemption and five-year half-reduction” under the original EIT Law, are allowed to remain to enjoy their preference until these holidays expire. The discontinuation of any such special or preferential tax treatment or other incentives would have an adverse effect on any organization’s business, fiscal condition and current operations in China.

In addition to the changes to the current tax structure, under the EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a resident enterprise and will normally be subject to an EIT of 25.0% on its global income. The Implementing Rules define the term “de facto management bodies” as “an establishment that exercises, in substance, overall management and control over the production, business, personnel, accounting, etc., of a Chinese enterprise.” If the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that the Company should be classified as a resident enterprise, then the organization’s global income will be subject to PRC income tax of 25.0% .

Under the income tax law and the related implementing rules, FIEs engaging in manufacturing businesses with a term of operation exceeding ten years may, subject to approval from local taxation authorities, be entitled to a two-year tax exemption from PRC EIT starting from the year they become profitable and a 50.0% tax reduction for the three years thereafter.

As approved by the relevant PRC tax authority, Fuxin Hengrui and Fuxin Xianheng was entitled to a two-year exemption from EIT followed by a 50.0% tax exemption for the next three years, commencing from the first cumulative profit-making year in the fiscal financial year. The tax holiday of Fuxin Hengrui commenced in 2004. Accordingly, Fuxin Hengrui is entitled to a 50% reduction on EIT tax rate of 12.5% for 2008 and is subject to an EIT rate of 25% from 2009. Our subsidiary Fuxin Xianheng’s tax holiday commenced in 2008, therefore, Fuxin Xianheng is exempted from EIT in 2008 and 2009 and will be subject to a reduced EIT rate of 12.5% from 2010 to 2012.

Sales Revenue. Our sales revenue is generated from sales of our float glass products and ultra-white glass products from the inventory. Sales revenue decreased $9.6 million, or 80.8%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $11.8 million for the same period ended on March 31, 2008. This decrease was mainly attributable to weakened demand for our products resulted from the global economic crisis as well as the cessation of our operations.

Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales is primarily comprised of the costs of our raw materials, labor and overhead. Our cost of sales decreased $6.3 million, or 65.7%, to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $9.6 million during the same period in 2008. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in sales volume. As a percentage of sales revenue, the cost of sales increased to 145.8% from 81.4% in the same period of 2008. Such percentage increase was primary due to decreased sales volume and decreased prices for our products.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit is equal to the difference between our sales revenue and our cost of sales. Our gross profit decreased $3.2 million, or 147.2%, to -$1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from approximately $2.2 million for the same period in 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of sales revenue was (45.8)% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, as compared to 18.6% during the same period in 2008. Such percentage decrease was mainly due to lower prices for our products as demand weakened.

Administrative Expenses. Administrative expenses consist of the costs associated with staff and support personnel who manage our business activities and professional fees paid to third parties. Our administrative expenses decreased $48,503, or 11.8%, to $361,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from approximately $410,003 for the same period in 2008. As a percentage of sales revenue, administrative expenses decreased to 16.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to 3.5% for the same period in 2008. This percentage decrease was primarily attributable to decrease in salary and insurance expenses.

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses include sales commissions, the cost of advertising and promotional materials, salaries and fringe benefits of sales personnel, after-sale support services and other sales related costs. Our selling expenses decreased $22,346 to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $22,346 for the same period in 2008. As a percentage of sales revenue, our selling expenses decreased to 0% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from 0.2% for the same period in 2008. This dollar and percentage decrease was primarily attributable to the fact that there was no expense incurred from sales of products.

Total Operating Expenses. Our total operating expenses decreased $70,849, or 16.4%, to $361,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $432,349 for the same period in 2008. As a percentage of sales revenue, our total expenses increased to 16.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from 3.7% for the same period in 2008. The dollar decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease of expenses as discussed above.

Income from Operations before Taxes and Minority Interests. Income from operations before taxes and minority interests decreased $3.5 million, or 164.8%, to -$1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $2.1 million during the same period in 2008. Income from operations before taxes as a percentage of sales revenue decreased to (60.0)% during the three months ended March 31, 2009 from 17.8% during the same period in 2008 due to the factors described above.

Income Taxes . Income taxes decreased $168,304 to $43,859 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $124,445 during the same period in 2008. The effective tax rate of Fuxin Hengrui was 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 12.5% for 2008. Fuxin Xianheng was exempted from EIT in 2008 and 2009.

Net income. Our net income decreased $3.3 million, or 166.6%, to -$1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $2.1 million during the same period in 2008, as a result of the factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $129,123 and restricted cash of $732,500 million. The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Net cash used in investing activities in the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 was -$1.4 million, which is a decrease of $2.9 million from net cash provided by investing activities of $1.5 million in the same period of 2008. The decrease was mainly due to our investment in the maintenance and upgrades of the existing production lines.

Financing Activities:

Net cash provided by financing activities in the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 totaled $0 which is an increase of -$1.4 million from the net cash used in financing activities of $1.4 million in the same period of 2008.

On May 6, 2008, the Company’s subsidiary Dollar Come entered into a loan agreement with Ms. Lin Tan to borrow US$5 million at the annual interest rate of 8%. The agreement has a two-year term and the loan proceed will be used as working capital. As of March 31, 2009, we owed Ms. Tan approximately $0.63 million.

We did not repay any bank loan due to capital shortage in the first quarter of 2009. In the current tight credit market, we cannot give assurance that we can refinancing these loans at favorable terms to us, if at all. Our current available working capital may not be adequate to sustain our operations at our current levels through at least the next twelve months. Our independent auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The fact that we have received this “going concern opinion” from our independent auditors may make it more difficult for us to raise capital on favorable terms. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

Obligations under Material Contract

Below is a summary of our current obligations under material contracts.

In connection with the entry into the Securities Purchase Agreement, on July 24, 2008, the Company entered into a make good escrow agreement (the " Make Good Escrow Agreement ") with Win-Win Global Investments, Inc. (the "Pledgor "), the investors listed in the Securities Purchase Agreement, Roth Capital Partners, LLC (" Roth ") and STC, pursuant to which the Pledgor agreed to certain "make good" provisions in the event that the Company does not meet certain income thresholds for fiscal years 2008 and/or 2009 discussed in the Securities Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Make Good Escrow Agreement, the Pledgor established an escrow account and delivered to STC certificates evidencing 1,669,398 shares of the Company’s common stock held by the Pledgor (the " Make Good Shares ") along with blank stock powers, to be held for the benefit of the investors. The Pledgor agreed that if the after tax net income (the " ATNI ") for the Company’s 2008 fiscal year is less than $10,000,000 or the ATNI for the Company’s 2009 fiscal year is less than $14,000,000 (after the exclusion of certain items from the calculation), then, in each case, the Pledgor will transfer to the investors, on a pro rata basis, 50% of the Make Good Shares within 10 business days after the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K is filed for the respective fiscal year. In such event, the Pledgor’s obligation to transfer the Make Good Shares continues to apply to each of the investors, even if an investor has transferred or sold all or any portion of its securities, and each of the investors shall have the right to assign its rights to receive a pro rata portion of the Make Good Shares in conjunction with negotiated sales or transfers of any of its securities. If the ATNI for the Company’s 2008 fiscal year is no less than $10,000,000 (after the exclusion of certain items from the calculation), 50% of the Make Good Shares will be released to the Pledgor. If the ATNI for the Company’s 2009 fiscal year is no less than $14,000,000 (after the exclusion of certain items from the calculation), then the remaining 50% of the Make Good Shares will be released to the Pledgor. The parties also agreed that for purposes of determining the ATNI under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the release of the Make Good Shares to the Investors or the Pledgor as a result of the operation of the Make Good Agreement shall not be deemed to be an expense, charge, or other deduction from revenues even though GAAP may require contrary treatment. The Make Good Escrow Agreement will terminate upon the distribution of all the Make Good Shares. As we did not meet the ATNI for 2008, 834,699 shares will be released to the investors on a pro rata basis.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial conditions and results of operations and require management's difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management's current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2009 and 2008, almost all the cash and cash equivalents were denominated in RMB and were placed with banks in the PRC. They are not freely convertible into foreign currencies and the remittance of these funds out of the PRC is subject to exchange control restrictions imposed by the PRC government. The remaining insignificant balance of cash and cash equivalents were denominated in U.S. dollars.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

We established an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectibility of trade receivables and other receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of the allowance. We consider the historical level of credit losses and apply percentages to aged receivable categories. We make judgments about the creditworthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations, and monitor current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a larger allowance may be required.

Based on the above assessment, we established a general provisioning policy to make allowance equivalent to 10% of gross amount of trade receivables and other receivables due over 6-12 months, 25% gross amount of trade receivables and other receivables due over 1-2 years and 50% of gross amount of trade receivables and other receivables due over 2-3 years and 100% of gross amount of trade receivables and other receivables due over 3 years. Additional specific provision is made against trade receivables aged less than 6 months to the extent which they are considered to be doubtful.

Bad debts are written off when identified. We extend unsecured credit to customers ranging from three to six months in the normal course of business. We do not accrue interest on trade receivables.

Historically, losses from uncollectible accounts did not significantly deviate from the general allowance estimated by us and no significant additional bad debts have been written off directly to the profit and loss. This general provisioning policy has not changed in the past since establishment and we consider that the aforementioned general provisioning policy is adequate and not too excessive and do not expect to change this established policy in the near future.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis and includes all expenditures incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale and putting them in a saleable condition. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, we make judgments as to future demand requirements compared to current or committed inventory levels. Our reserve requirements generally increase as our projected demand requirements; decrease due to market conditions, product life cycle changes. We estimate the demand requirements based on market conditions, forecasts prepared by our customers, sales contracts and orders in hand. In addition, we estimate net realizable value based on intended use, current market value and inventory ageing analyses. We write down the inventories for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventories and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.

Based on the above assessment, we established a general provision to make a 50% provision for inventories aged over 1 year. As of March 31, 2009, a decrease in general provision of $7,058 was made. Historically, the actual net realizable value is close to our estimation.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are tested for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144 and Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 18, Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock, respectively. The Company periodically evaluates potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes impairment of long-lives assets and investment in an affiliate in the event that the net book values of such assets exceed the future undiscounted cashflows attributable to such assets.

The Company’s long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment, construction in progress, land use right and goodwill. These assets were reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable.

The following are examples of such events or changes in circumstances:

For the fiscal reporting period, an impairment loss of property, plant and equipment was recognized due to the recoverable value was less than its carrying value.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from sales of our products is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer at the time of delivery, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of the Company is RMB and RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. We maintain our financial statements in the functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchanges rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.

For financial reporting purposes, our financial statements which are prepared using the functional currency have been translated into United States dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and stockholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity. The exchange rates in effect at March 31, 2009 and 2008 were RMB1 for $0.1465 and $0.1428 respectively. There is no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to US dollars after the balance sheet date.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). Effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Board does not expect that this Statement will result in a change in current practice. However, transition provisions have been provided in the unusual circumstance that the application of the provisions of this Statement results in a change in practice .The adoption of this statement has no material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Non controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements arising from adoption of this guidance has been stated in Note 2 (i).

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised) “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141 (Revised)”). SFAS 141 (Revised) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non controlling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement has no material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued three FASB Staff Positions (FSP’s) to provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities. FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in SFAS No.157. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on securities. These three FSP’s are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We adopted the provisions of these FSP’s for the period ending March 31, 2009. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact these FSP’s will have on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.

Seasonality

Our Company’s business is seasonal, with the highest proportion of sales and operating income being generated in the second and third quarters of each year, with lesser sales and operating income being generated in the first and fourth quarters of each year. Our working capital requirements fluctuate during the period, increasing substantially during the first and fourth quarters as a result of lower demand for glass products due to the curtailments of construction works in winter season.
