NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2010

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Line of Business

Deer Consumer Products, Inc., formerly known as Tag Events Corp., (hereinafter referred to as the “Company,” or “Deer”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 18, 2006.

On September 3, 2008, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement and plan of reorganization with Deer International Group Ltd. (“Deer International”), a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on December 3, 2007. Deer International had acquired 100% of the shares of Winder Electric Group Ltd. (“Winder”) on March 11, 2008. Winder has a 100% owned subsidiary, Delta International Limited (“Delta”). Winder and Delta were formed and incorporated in the Guangdong Province of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on July 20, 2001, and February 23, 2006, respectively.

Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, the Company acquired 50,000 ordinary shares from Deer International, consisting of all of Deer International’s issued and outstanding capital stock, for 15,695,706 shares of the Company’s common stock. Concurrently with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement and as a condition thereof, the Company entered into an agreement with its former Director and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which he returned 5,173,914 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company for cancellation. Upon completion of the foregoing transactions, the Company had 19,652,226 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. In connection with the above transaction, the Company changed its name to Deer Consumer Products, Inc. on September 3, 2008.

The exchange of shares with Deer International was recorded as a reverse acquisition because Deer International obtained control of the Company. Accordingly, the merger of Deer International into the Company was recorded as a recapitalization of Deer International, with Deer International being treated as the continuing entity. The share exchange agreement was treated as a recapitalization and not as a business combination. At the date of this transaction, the net liabilities of the legal acquirer were $0.

The Company is engaged in the manufacture, marketing, distribution and sale of a broad range of small home and kitchen electric appliances and personal care products. The Company provides consumer products to the China domestic market under its “DEER” and “德尔” brands. The Company is also a vertically integrated manufacturer of small household appliances for global consumer product customers who in turn offer products worldwide under numerous brand names and store brands for retailers’ private label programs. The Company also sources products from third party manufacturers to supply certain products from time to time in order to rapidly expand new product offerings through its distribution channels across China. The Company currently manufactures its products in Yangjiang, Guangdong Province, China and anticipates expanding its production and manufacturing capabilities by building new production and distribution facilities in the Wuhu area of central China, a region with access to a neighboring population of more than 400 million. The Company anticipates the new facilities will improve the Company’s ability to deliver its products to customers located throughout China, which is part of the Company’s China domestic market expansion strategy. Once completed, the Company plans for the new facilities to serve primarily as a hub for its China domestic markets, while the Company’s current facilities in Yangjiang, Guangdong Province will serve as a hub for its export markets and as a supply center for markets in south China. The Company’s corporate and administrative offices are located in Shenzhen, China.

The Company operates through its wholly owned subsidiaries in China. Winder, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) located in Guangdong Province, is engaged in the research, production and delivery of goods. Delta, also located in Guangdong Province, transferred its material former operations to Winder. Deer Technology (AnHui) Co., Ltd. (“Deer Technology”) and Anlin Technology (AnHui) Co., Ltd. (“Anlin Technology”), also both WFOEs of Deer International, were both incorporated in AnHui Province on April 30, 2010. Deer Technology and Anlin Technology will be engaged in the manufacture and sale of household electric appliances and were formed for the purpose of establishing production and distribution facilities located in the Wuhu area of AnHui Province.

The unaudited financial statements included herein were prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s 2010 audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

The exchange rates used in translation from RMB to USD were published by the People’s Bank of the People’s Republic of China.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas that require estimates and assumptions include valuation of accounts receivable and inventory, determination of useful lives of property and equipment, estimation of certain liabilities and sales returns.

Cash and Equivalents

Cash and equivalents include cash in hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of monies restricted by the Company’s lender and monies restricted under letters of credit and bank acceptances.

Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on 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. The Company has not incurred any bad debts to date. If the Company finds there is a possibility that the Company may incur a bad debt, the Company will accrue the appropriate allowance based on the aging of our account receivables. The Company’s policy is to accrue the full amount of account receivables when their aging exceeds one year. Based on historical collection activity, the Company did not reserve any bad debt allowance at September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010.

DEER CONSUMER PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2010

The Company sells products in the China domestic market through a range of distribution outlets including regional and national wholesalers and third party distributors. The standard term of payment of accounts receivables for several of the Company’s large and established China domestic retailer customers is 180 days from the close of the billing cycle, which is 30 – 45 days after the Company’s products are delivered to the customer. This accounts receivable term is customary for large and established China domestic retailers. Historically, the Company has not experienced late payments or bad debts under such terms from these select retailers. The term of payment of accounts receivable for other of the Company’s China domestic customers is 30 – 90 days from the close of the billing cycle. The Company provides its major customers with payment terms based on their payment history, amount they have purchased in the past, and upon any strategic agreement the Company may have with them.

As the Company continues to focus on expanding sales to the China domestic market, the Company anticipates that sales to the China domestic market may represent a larger percentage of the Company’s total revenue. The Company anticipates that its accounts receivable will remain in line with standard industry practice relating to accounts receivable in China, which could be up to seven months.

The Company sells products to overseas customers in the export markets under letters of credit, prepaid arrangements, certain short credit terms or direct customer purchase orders. As of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, approximately 10% and 29%, respectively, of our accounts receivable was from overseas customers. The Company's export sales-related accounts receivable typically are less than three months, depending on customer shipment schedules. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant bad debts from export sales. The Company also maintains a substantial amount of export insurance that covers losses arising from customers’ rejection of its products, political risk, losses arising from business credit and other credit risks including bankruptcy, insolvency and delay in payment.

The Company believes that its accounts receivable will be collected in the ordinary course of business within seven months as the Company has established relationships with many of its major customers. In addition, the Company’s domestic customers typically pay according to the Company’s payment terms and the Company maintains insurance for its accounts receivable with respect to its international customers.

VAT Receivables

VAT receivables are VAT rebates which arise from our purchase of raw materials. VAT receivables are returned to the Company or offset against VAT payable. The Company anticipates collecting its VAT receivables within one year. The Company does not experience credit losses with respect to VAT receivables because they are owed to the Company by the government. The Company classifies VAT receivables as a current asset because it is an asset that is reasonably expected to be realized (or sold or consumed) within one year or within the Company’s normal operating cycle.

Advances to Suppliers

The Company makes advances to certain vendors to purchase material and equipment. The advances are interest-free and unsecured.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market. The Company compares the cost of inventories with their market value and allowance is made to write down inventories to their market value, if lower.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as follows:

Buildings	5-20 years
Equipment	5-10 years
Vehicles	5 years
Office equipment	5-10 years

Construction in Progress

Construction in progress consists of costs for the construction of workshops, mold and a video monitoring installation for Winder, with total costs of $12.31 million. The construction work for workshops is substantially completed with no major additional costs to be incurred. Once the Company completes its final inspection of the construction, the workshops will be used to manufacture the Company’s products.

Construction in progress also includes costs for the construction of a new plant, office building and power distribution station for Deer Technology. As of September 30, 2011, the Company paid $0.42 million for design, metal work, foundation and other costs. The total construction cost is about $35.85 million, and the Company is committed to pay an additional $35.43 million to complete the construction. This phase of construction is anticipated to be completed in September 2012.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that as of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, there was no significant impairment of its long-lived assets.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of rights to use land and computer software. The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.

The following are the details of intangible assets at September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010:

	2011			2010

Right to use land	$	37,362,260		$	38,519,101

Pursuant to PRC regulations, the PRC government owns all land. The Company recorded the amounts paid for the rights to use land as an intangible asset. The Company amortizes these rights over their respective periods, which range from 45 to 50 years. Computer software is amortized over 1 to 2 years.

In 2010, Deer Technology acquired the land use rights for two parcels of land with a total of 439,640 square meters located in east central China in the city of Wuhu, AnHui Province. The purchase price of the land use rights for these two parcels of land was approximately $35 million, reflecting a price of RMB 4.95 million per hectare and including a 4% PRC government land transfer tax and other government charges. The use right for the first parcel of land covering 289,416 square meters was purchased for approximately RMB 149 million ($22.74 million). The land use right for the second parcel of land covering 150,224 square meters was purchased for RMB 77.37 million ($11.8 million). The Company has received the land use right certificates from the PRC government on these two parcels of land.

The deposit of $10,314,346 (RMB 67,901,400) that was paid in 2010 to acquire a land use right was returned to the Company in the first quarter of 2011, as it failed to win the auction for the land. The Company paid an additional $4,243,283 (RMB 27,934,381) in first quarter of 2011 to make payment in full for the land use rights it acquired in December 2010.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term loans and notes payable, have carrying amounts that approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”

As of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained within China. Certain financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of cash. Balances at financial institutions within China are not covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 480). Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when the price is fixed or determinable, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured.

Sales revenue is the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added tax. All of the Company’s products sold in the PRC are subject to a VAT of 17% of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by the VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing the Company’s finished product. The Company recorded VAT payable and VAT receivable net of payments in the financial statements. The VAT tax return is filed offsetting the payables against the receivables.

Sales and purchases are recorded net of VAT collected and paid as the Company acts as an agent for the government. VAT taxes are not affected by the income tax holiday.

Sales returns and allowances were $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Sales returns and allowances were $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The Company does not provide a right of unconditional return, price protection or any other concessions to its customers.

Cost of Revenue and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The Company includes expenses in either cost of revenue or selling, general and administrative expenses based upon the natural classification of the expenses. Cost of revenue includes expenses associated with the acquisition, inspection, manufacturing and receiving of materials for use in the manufacturing process. These costs include inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, internal transfer costs as well as depreciation, amortization, wages, benefits and other costs that are incurred directly or indirectly to support the manufacturing process. Selling, general and administrative expenses includes expenses associated with the distribution of our products, sales efforts including commissions payable to in store promotional staff, administration costs and other costs that are not incurred to support the manufacturing process. The Company records distribution costs associated with the sale of inventory as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Statements of Consolidated Income. These expenses include warehousing costs, outbound freight charges and costs associated with distribution personnel.

Subsidy Income

The Company was awarded grants from local government bureaus to encourage the development of its business. As a general policy across municipal governments in the PRC, local government bureaus commonly provide grants to leading local companies in order to encourage greater economic development and greater employment. The grants are typically based on certain standards which are reviewed periodically. The grants set forth below were awarded to the Company based on the Company’s progress in technological innovation and building a standardized plant and factory. As the exact amount of a grant is uncertain until the local government makes its final determination, the Company records income only when the grant is received or approved. The grants set forth below were made without any conditions and restrictions, and were not required to be repaid.

Set forth below are the grants that were recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Item	Amount in ($)
From Yangjiang Science and Technology Information Bureau	$	11,393
From Yangjiang Finance Bureau		15,190

The above subsidy income attributable to the grants specified was received in full and could be used without restriction.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 & 505, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” ASC 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company recognizes in its statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees. There were 50,000 options outstanding as of September 30, 2011.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 740), which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events 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.

The Company adopted the provisions of the FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (codified in FASB ASC Topic 740). When tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified as selling, general and administrative expense in the statements of income. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. At September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the Company had not taken any significant uncertain tax position on its tax return for 2010 and prior years or in computing its tax provision for 2010.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income

The financial statements’ accounts of the Company’s China subsidiaries were translated into USD in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 830), with the RMB as the Company’s China subsidiaries’ functional currency. According to SFAS No. 52 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 830), all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity are translated at the historical rates and statement of operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 220).

Currency Hedging

The Company from time to time may enter into forward exchange agreements with the Bank of China, whereby the Company agrees to sell U.S. dollars to the Bank of China at certain rates. At September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the Company had no outstanding forward exchange contracts.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares (denominator) used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:

Three months ended September 30,	2011				2010
			Per Share				Per Share
	Shares		Amount		Shares		Amount
Basic earnings per share		33,592,562	$	0.39		33,585,553	$	0.28

Statement of Cash Flows

In accordance with ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rates. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets.

Registration Rights Agreement

The Company accounts for payment arrangements under a registration rights agreement in accordance with ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” which requires the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, be recognized separately and measured in accordance with ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies.”

Segment Reporting

SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 280) 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 financial statements as substantially all of the Company's operations are conducted in one industry segment. All of the Company's assets are located in the PRC.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to the manner of presentation in the current period.

Recent Pronouncements

In June 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. Under the amendments in this update, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Under both options, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income and a total amount for comprehensive income. In a single continuous statement, the entity is required to present the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with the total of comprehensive income in that statement. In the two-statement approach, an entity is required to present components of net income and total net income in the statement of net income. The statement of other comprehensive income should immediately follow the statement of net income and include the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with a total for comprehensive income. In addition, the entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently assessing the effect that the adoption of this pronouncement will have on its financial statements.

iii.

Allocations of 5-10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to the Company’s “statutory common welfare fund” (“SCWF”), which is established for the purpose of providing employee facilities and other collective benefits to the Company’s employees; and

iv.

Allocations to the discretionary surplus reserve, if approved in the stockholders’ general meeting. The Company allocates 5% of income after tax as development fund. The fund is for enlarging the Company’s business and increasing capital.

Pursuant to the new Corporate Law effective on January 1, 2006, there is now only one “statutory surplus reserve” requirement. The reserve is 10% of income after tax, not to exceed 50% of registered capital.

The Company appropriated $1,547,188 and $2,038,609 as reserve for the statutory surplus reserve, and $773,594 and $1,019,304 as reserve for development fund, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Local PRC Income Tax

Pursuant to the tax laws of China, general enterprises are subject to income tax at an effective rate of 25%. Winder enjoys a 15% preferential income tax effective as of 2009 until its expiration on December 31, 2011, as a result of its status as a high tech enterprise. A reconciliation of tax at U.S. federal statutory rate to the provision for income tax recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, is as follows:

	Nine Months						Three Months
	2011			2010			2011			2010
Tax provision at U.S. statutory rates		34.0	%		34.0	%		34.0	%		34.0	%
Foreign tax rate difference		(9.2	)%		(9.2	)%		(9.1	)%		(9.2	)%
Other		2.45	%		(0.2)	%		1.5	%		(0.5)	%
Valuation allowance		0.5	%		1.6	%		0.3	%		2.0	%
Effective tax holiday		(10.4	)%		(10.5	)%		(10.2	)%		(10.4	)%
Tax per financial statements		17.4	%		15.7	%		16.5	%		15.9	%

The effect of the change of tax status was recorded in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10, which states that the effect of a change in tax status is computed as of the date of change and is included in the tax provision for continuing operations. Management believes the local tax authorities would not have waived past taxes had it not been for the change in the tax status of the Company’s subsidiary.

If Winder had not been granted high tech enterprise status, income tax expense for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011, would have been increased by $3,322,029 and $1,617,428 and earnings per share would have been reduced by $0.10 and $0.05.

Note 12 – Operating Risks

The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments of the PRC and PRC rules and regulations regarding 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.

The Company’s sale, purchase and expense transactions are denominated in RMB and all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are also denominated in RMB. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies under current PRC law. Foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be carried out only by authorized financial institutions. Remittances in currencies other than RMB may require certain supporting documentation in order to effect the remittance.

Note 14 – Major Customers and Vendors

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, two customers accounted for approximately 36% and 11% of sales, respectively. At September 30, 2011, the total accounts receivable balance due from these two customers was $31,992,757. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, four customers accounted for approximately 48%, 15%, 13% and 10% of sales, respectively. At September 30, 2011, the total receivable balance due from these four customers was a $45,038,866. For the nine and three months ended September 30, 2010, one customer accounted for approximately 11% and 14% of sales, respectively.

For the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011, no supplier accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s raw material purchases. For the nine and three months ended September 30, 2010, one supplier accounted for 12% of the Company’s raw material purchases.

Note 15 – Contingency

Acquisition of Winder

On April 1, 2008, Deer International acquired 100% of the equity interest in Winder from 50HZ Electric Limited. At the time of such acquisition, Deer International was an offshore enterprise controlled by some of the Company’s shareholders who are PRC residents. Certain of these shareholders also owned or controlled 50HZ Electric Limited at the time of such acquisition, which made Winder an affiliated PRC company of such shareholders. In October 2008, such shareholders transferred their ownership interests in 50HZ Electric Limited to an unrelated third party, after which 50HZ Electric Limited was no longer deemed a related party of the Company. The transaction was approved by the Economic Development Bureau of Yangjiang High-tech Industry Development Zone (the “Yangjiang Hi-Tech Zone”).

The acquisition of 100% of Winder’s equity interests by Deer International on April 1, 2008, was free of any considerations and conditions. Under applicable PRC tax rules, any transaction between related parties shall be priced on an arm’s length basis. The tax authority has the right to investigate any related party transaction and to make adjustment if it finds the price not on an arm’s length basis. The PRC tax authority would make adjustment by applying a deemed arm’s length price to the transaction. Given that 50HZ Electric Limited and Deer International had certain related parties at the time of the Winder acquisition, there is a possibility the consideration-free transfer may be challenged and investigated by the PRC tax authority. If the deemed arm’s length price determined by the PRC tax authority during such investigation is higher than the original cost that 50HZ Electric Limited paid to get 100% equity interest of Winder, such excess amount would be subject to additional PRC income tax. Although the Company believes 50HZ Electric Limited would be responsible for the possible PRC income tax, the Company understands it is common practice for PRC tax authority to enforce the tax collection over the entity at issue, which in this case would be Winder, and the Company may be required to pay the possible PRC income tax on behalf of 50HZ Electric Limited. According to the M&A Regulations, the acquisition of Winder might require the approval of Ministry of Commence People’s Republic of China (“MOFCOM”). As the interpretation and implementation of the M&A Regulations are unclear, if the approval of MOFCOM is required, the approval that 50HZ Electric Limited obtained from the Yangjiang Hi-Tech Zone may be deemed incomplete and the transferee, namely Deer International, may need to obtain further approval from MOFCOM.

Pending Litigation

On March 28, 2011, we filed suit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, captioned Deer Consumer Products, Inc. v. Alfred Little, et al., Index No. 650823/2011, against a certain blogger, “Alfred Little,” the website SeekingAlpha.com and others. Our claims in this action allege the publishing of false and defamatory statements by the defendants as part of an orchestrated scheme to manipulate and depress the market for our common stock. We are claiming compensatory and punitive damages totaling at least $11 million, not including claims for attorneys’ fees, and other equitable remedies, including disgorgement of any illicit trading profits received by the defendants in connection with the alleged market manipulation scheme. On August 29, 2011, we obtained a Court order allowing us to effect service of the summons and complaint upon defendant Alfred Little via email and related notice. We effected service on Alfred Little pursuant to that order and on September 29, 2011, Alfred Little filed motions to dismiss the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction and for permission to appear anonymously as a party in the litigation. We will vigorously oppose both motions filed by Alfred Little. In addition, on August 30, 2011, the Court granted defendant SeekingAlpha.com’s motion to dismiss our claim against it on the ground that a Federal statute, the Communications Decency Act, 47 U.S.C. § 230, precluded the claim against SeekingAlpha.com. The Company has filed an appeal to this decision.

On April 29, 2011, a purported securities class action lawsuit on behalf of the purchasers of our common stock between March 31, 2009, and March 21, 2011, James Rose v. Deer Consumer Products, Inc. et al, was filed against us and certain of our current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The court has not yet certified the class action status. The complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act, as well as, in the case of the individual defendants, the Section 20(a) control person provisions of the Exchange Act. The factual assertions in the complaint, based expressly on the published statements at issue in the Alfred Little suit described above, consist primarily of allegations that the defendants made materially false or misleading public statements concerning our financial condition in fiscal years 2010 and 2009. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and other relief relating to the purported inflation in the price of our common stock during the class period. A consolidated amended complaint was filed on September 6, 2011, with essentially the same allegations. We filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, which motion is scheduled to be heard on January 23, 2012. We strongly deny the allegations in the complaint. We believe this lawsuit is frivolous and without merit and will contest it vigorously. We plan to pursue all legal remedies available to us if the complaint is not withdrawn in its entirety.

Note 16 – Subsequent Event

On November 8, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend, payable from future earnings only, in the amount of $0.05 per share payable on January 13, 2012, to the shareholders of record as of December 30, 2011. Declaration and payment of future quarterly dividends will be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

On September 3, 2008, we entered into and consummated a series of agreements that resulted in the acquisition of all of the ordinary shares of Deer International Group Ltd., or Deer International, a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on December 3, 2007. Deer International acquired 100% of the shares of Winder Electric Group Ltd., or Winder, on March 11, 2008. Winder has a 100% owned subsidiary, Delta International Limited, or Delta. Winder and Delta were incorporated in the Guangdong Province of the People’s Republic of China, which we refer to as China or the PRC, on July 20, 2001, and February 23, 2006, respectively.

Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, we acquired 50,000 ordinary shares from Deer International, consisting of all of Deer International’s issued and outstanding capital stock for 15,695,706 shares of our common stock.

Concurrently with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement and as a condition thereof, we entered into an agreement with our former Director and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which he returned 5,173,914 shares of our common stock for cancellation. Upon completion of the foregoing transactions, we had 19,652,226 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. In connection with the above transaction, on September 3, 2008, we changed our name to Deer Consumer Products, Inc.

The exchange of shares with Deer International was recorded as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting because Deer International obtained control of our company. Accordingly, the merger of Deer International into us was recorded as a recapitalization of Deer International, with Deer International being treated as the continuing entity. The historical financial statements presented are the consolidated financial statements of Deer International. The share exchange agreement has been treated as a recapitalization and not as a business combination; therefore, no pro forma information is disclosed. At the date of this transaction, the net liabilities of the legal acquirer were $0.

We are engaged in the manufacture, marketing, distribution and sale of a broad range of small home and kitchen electric appliances and personal care products. Our products are designed to make today’s modern lifestyles simpler and healthier. We are a leading provider of consumer products to the China domestic market under our “DEER” and “德尔” brands, which we refer to as our Deer brands. We sell our Deer-branded products through some of the largest electronic retailers in the China domestic market as well as through other distribution outlets. The small household appliances market in China had, on average, more than 30% gross profit margins. According to market analysis, revenue growth in the household appliances sector grew more than 45% in 2010. According to the 2010 China Small Electronics Market Research Report, approximately 78% of consumers in China purchase small household appliances from the two largest electronic retailers in China and approximately 60% of consumers in China learn about products from in-store promotions.

We are also a vertically integrated manufacturer of small household appliances serving as an original design manufacturer and original equipment manufacturer, or ODM and OEM, for global consumer product customers who in turn offer our products worldwide under their own brand names. We have provided products to global brand names such as Back to Basics, Arietta, Black & Decker®, Disney, Betty Crocker Kitchens and many others, which are resold to retailers worldwide. We also supply products to numerous retailers for their private label programs.

We currently manufacture our products in Yangjiang, Guangdong Province, China and anticipate expanding our production and manufacturing capabilities by building new production and distribution facilities in the Wuhu area of central China, which we believe will improve our ability to deliver our products to customers located throughout China. We also source products from third party manufacturers from time to time in order to rapidly expand new product offerings through our distribution channels across China. Our corporate and administrative offices are located in Shenzhen, China.

Table of Contents

We operate through our wholly owned subsidiaries in China. Our U.S. holding company, Deer Consumer Products, Inc., owns a 100% of Deer International Group Ltd., a BVI entity, which owns our three wholly foreign owned enterprises, Winder, Deer Technology (AnHui) Co., Ltd. and Anlin Technology (Anhui) Co., Ltd. Delta, which transferred its material former operations to Winder in 2009, is 100% owned by Winder. Winder is located in Guangdong Province and is engaged in the research, production and delivery of our goods. Deer Technology and Anlin Technology were both incorporated in the AnHui Province on April 30, 2010. Deer Technology and Anlin Technology will also be engaged in the manufacture and sale of household electric appliances and were formed for the purpose of establishing production and distribution facilities located in the Wuhu area of AnHui Province.

Each of our wholly owned foreign enterprises, Winder, Deer Technology and Anlin Technology, are authorized by their respective business licenses to operate our electrical appliance manufacturing business. Delta transferred all of its material former operations to Winder in 2009 to improve the Company’s operating efficiency. Currently, Delta only conducts marketing operations for us.

We will continue to target the China domestic market by expanding our production and manufacturing facilities by building a new factory in the Wuhu area of central China. Wuhu is located on the banks of the Yangtze River within hours from Shanghai and Nanjing, which are some of China’s most populous and economically developed regions. This central location will improve our ability to deliver our products to customers located throughout China. The new factory, which will increase our production capacity by 40%, and distribution center will allow us to target the neighboring population of more than 400 million as we continue to grow our business in the China domestic market. We plan to complete the construction of fencing, sewage system, water pipes, gas and utilities, the factory’s main entrance and leveling the land during the remainder of 2011. We plan to complete the construction of certain workshops and the warehouse in 2012, which are estimated to be about 1 million square feet. The pace of construction will be determined by the pace of our China domestic market expansion. While our current factory located in Yangjiang, Guangdong province in south China does not operate a full capacity, we plan to use these facilities primarily for fulfilling export orders whereas we anticipate using our new facilities in Anhui to fulfill China domestic orders. These two facilities are about 1,000 miles apart and management anticipates needing the additional capacity at the new facilities in AnHui over the next few years. This additional capacity will be brought on line incrementally in accordance with our domestic market expansion strategy.

Critical Accounting Policies

In presenting our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”), we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Several of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. However, events that are outside of our control cannot be predicted and, as such, they cannot be contemplated in evaluating such estimates and assumptions. If there is a significant unfavorable change to current conditions, it will likely result in a material adverse impact to our results of operations, financial position and liquidity. We believe the estimates and assumptions we used when preparing our financial statements were the most appropriate at that time. Presented below are those accounting policies we believe require subjective and complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results.

Use of Estimates. Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment of long-lived assets and allowance for doubtful accounts. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.

Areas that require estimates and assumptions include valuation of accounts receivable and inventory, determination of useful lives of property and equipment, estimation of certain liabilities and sales returns.

Accounts Receivable. We maintain reserves for potential credit losses on 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.

Long-Lived Assets. We periodically assess potential impairments to our long-lived assets. We perform an impairment review whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. Factors we considered include, but are not limited to: significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business; and significant negative industry or economic trends. When we determine that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we estimate the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows and eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, we recognize an impairment loss. An impairment loss is reflected as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair market value of the asset, based on the fair market value if available, or discounted cash flows. To date, there have been no impairment of long-lived assets.

Revenue Recognition. Our revenue recognition policies are in compliance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when the price is fixed or determinable, when no other significant obligations exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.

Revenues

Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011, were $73.0 million, an increase of $17.7 million or 32.1% from $55.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in revenues was a result of our continued expansion of sales in the China domestic market despite the decreased sales in the other areas around world due to the recent financial crisis. In addition, the average selling prices of our products increased 45% in the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the average selling prices in the same period of 2010, conforming to our strategy of maintaining healthy profit margins across our product lines. We increased our China domestic market sales to $56.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $23.4 million in the same period of 2010, a 142.2% increase. Our products currently are available in more than 3,200 stores as of September 2011. Our customers include SuNing, who together with its wholly-owned subsidiary Song Qiao, is a prominent national electric appliance retail chain in China with more than 1,000 stores, who we sell our products to under a private label arrangement, and Gome, another prominent national electronic appliance retail chain in China with approximately 1,400 stores. We also added retail locations in other channels such as regional electric appliance retailers, wholesalers and department stores. We increased our product sales over internet portals, into hotels and restaurants, and via reward programs with large banks, telecommunication firms and postal offices in China. These results are on pace with our plan to capture the fast growth being experienced in the China domestic small appliance market.

Our sales in South America were $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a $2.5 million or 30.6% decrease over the same period of 2010. Our sales in Asia, not including sales to China, were $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a $4.3 million or 45.9% decrease over the same period of 2010. Our sales in Europe were $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a $3.0 million or 52.1% decrease over the same period of 2010. Our sales in the Middle East were $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a $4.2 million or 76.3% decrease over the same period of 2010. We believe the decrease in sales in these regions was mainly due to the world-wide financial crisis.

Our sales in the U.S. were $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a $1.7 million or 73.5% decrease over the same period of 2010, as we have from time to time turned away orders that do not meet our profit margin requirements. The economic recovery in the U.S. has been slower than anticipated and, as expected, our U.S. customers placed orders based on the slow recovery. We commenced sales to a new customer, a leading franchiser in the U.S., and started shipments to this customer in April 2011. We expect our U.S. revenues to recover in 2012 as the economic recovery progresses and we continue to engage new large U.S. customers that meet our profit margin requirements.

Following the financial crisis, we believe that many smaller suppliers with limited capital resources went out of business, leading to further consolidation in the industry. In addition, we noticed that buyers increasingly favored companies with financial strength, higher quality products, sufficient plant capacity and a track record of prompt delivery. Buyers placed greater emphasis on being able to source quality supplies without delays or interruptions. We utilized this market opportunity to add new accounts and increase sales volume with our existing customers.

Table of Contents

Cost of Revenue

We include expenses in either cost of revenue or selling, general and administrative expenses based upon the natural classification of the expenses. Cost of revenue includes expenses associated with the acquisition, inspection, manufacturing and receiving of materials for use in the manufacturing process. These costs include inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, internal transfer costs as well as depreciation, amortization, wages, benefits and other costs that are incurred directly or indirectly to support the manufacturing process. Our cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011, was $50.7 million, an increase of $11.3 million, or 28.7%, from $39.4 million for the same period of 2010. The increased cost of revenue in 2011 was due to the increase in sales. Our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased nearly 2% due to our increased domestic sales which have higher margins than export sales.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit was $22.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $15.8 million for the same period of 2010, an increase of 40.4%. Our gross margin was 30.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 28.7% for the same period of 2010, an increase of 2%. Our increase in gross profit was attributable to higher gross margins in the China domestic market, where we experienced a significant growth in sales, as compared to the gross margins in the export market. Products generally sell at much higher prices at retail and wholesale in China and our gross margin is in line with other comparable companies specializing in small household and kitchen appliances in the China domestic market. In addition, we have continued to improve our manufacturing efficiency through in-house production of motors and other primary components of our products, thereby benefiting further from economies of scale.

Operating Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses includes expenses associated with the distribution of our products, sales efforts, including commissions payable to in store promotional staff, administration costs and other costs that are not incurred to support the manufacturing process. The Company records distribution costs associated with the sale of inventory as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Statements of Consolidated Income. These expenses include warehousing costs, outbound freight charges and costs associated with distribution personnel. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011, were $6.3 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 48.6%, from $4.2 million for the same period of 2010. Selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011, increased by 88.4%, or $2.4 million, in comparison to the same period of 2010 due to our significant increase in sales. Associated selling expenses include advertising to expand the market, increase brand awareness and generate the significant increase in sales. As expected, our direct advertising expenses remained minimal during the third quarter of 2011because we hire factory representatives and in-store promoters to promote our products directly to consumers at retail locations. We believe this direct in-store promotion approach, a standard practice in the small household appliances industry in China, is highly effective in marketing to consumers in the unique Chinese retail environment as compared to traditional mass media advertising channels, which can cause significant television and other mass media advertising expense without target customer interaction. Our in-store promoters market our products exclusively and directly to in-store customer traffic. According to a survey in the 2010 China Small Electronics Market Research Report, approximately 60% of Chinese consumers surveyed purchased small household appliances after being introduced to the product by in-store promoters. We anticipate having approximately 1,000 in-store promoters by the end of 2011, hired directly by us or through third party distributors. In the three months ended September 30, 2011, our salary expense increased $0.7 million, or 132%, compared to the same period in 2010 due to our hiring of additional employees to work as in-store promoters in the China domestic market, and increased bonus expense payable to these in-store promoters due to our increased sales. Our freight expense increased $1.0 million, or 66%, and promotion expense increased $0.8 million, or 1107%, compared to the same period of 2010 due to our increase in sales. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011, decreased by $0.4 million , or 25.4%, in comparison to the same period of 2010 due to our continuing efforts to control costs and improve efficiency.

Interest and Financing (Costs) Income, net

Interest and financing (costs) income, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, was a net gain of $62,144, a decrease of $90,633, or 59.3%, from a net gain of $152,777 for the same period of 2010. The change was due principally to interest income decreasing from $188,754 in the 2010 period to $62,144 in the 2011 period as our cash position decreased due to expenses incurred to expand our production capacity and to fulfill our general working capital needs.

Other Income, net

Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2011, was $41,149 compared to a $9,227 for the 2010 period, an increase of $31,922. The increase was due mainly to a grant of $39,471 received from the PRC government in the third quarter of 2011, to reward our efforts in developing our proprietary brand and the market for our products.

Foreign Exchange Transaction Gain (Loss)

Foreign exchange transaction loss for three months ended September 30, 2011, was $197,370 compared to foreign exchange transaction loss of $758,621 for the same period of 2010, a decrease of $561,251. The decrease was due principally to foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Revenues

Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, were $152.8 million, an increase of $39.2 million or 34.5% from $113.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in revenues was a result of our expansion of sales in the China domestic market. In addition, the average selling prices of our products increased 23.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the average selling prices in the same period of 2010, conforming to our strategy of maintaining healthy profit margins across our product lines. We increased our China domestic market sales to $101.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $41.1 million in the same period of 2010, a 145.9% increase. Our products currently are available in more than 3,200 stores as of September 2011. Our customers include SuNing, who together with its wholly-owned subsidiary Song Qiao, is a prominent national electric appliance retail chain in China with more than 1,000 stores, who we sell our products to under a private label arrangement, and Gome, another prominent national electronic appliance retail chain in China with approximately 1,400 stores. We also added retail locations in other channels such as regional electric appliance retailers, wholesalers and department stores. We increased our product sales over internet portals, into hotels and restaurants, and via reward programs with large banks, telecommunication firms and postal offices in China. These results are on pace with our plan to capture the fast growth being experienced in the China domestic small appliance market.

Our sales in South America were $15.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a $4.4 million or 22.3% decrease over the same period of 2010. Our sales in Asia, not including sales to China, were $13.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a $6.0 million or 31.1% decrease over the same period of 2010. Our sales in Europe were $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a $5.4 million or 41.2% decrease over the same period of 2010. Our sales in the Middle East were $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a $2.6 million or 21.3% decrease over the same period of 2010. We believe the decrease in sales in these regions was mainly due to the financial crisis. The recovery of the world-wide economy has been slower than we had initially anticipated.

Our sales in the U.S. were $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a $2.9 million or 41.4% decrease over the same period of 2010, as we have, from time to time, turned away orders that do not meet our profit margin requirements. The economic recovery in the U.S. has been slower than anticipated and, as expected, our U.S. customers placed orders based on the slow recovery. We commenced sales to a new customer, a leading franchiser in the U.S., and started shipments to this customer in April 2011. We expect our U.S. revenues to recover in 2012 as the economic recovery progresses and we continue to engage new large U.S. customers that meet our profit margin requirements.

Following the financial crisis, we believe that many smaller suppliers in China with limited capital resources went out of business, leading to further consolidation in the industry. In addition, we noticed that buyers increasingly favored companies with financial strength, higher quality products, sufficient plant capacity and a track record of prompt delivery. Buyers placed greater emphasis on being able to source quality supplies without delays or interruptions. We utilized this market opportunity to add new accounts and increase sales volume with our existing customers.

Table of Contents

Cost of Revenue

We include expenses in either cost of revenue or selling, general and administrative expenses based upon the natural classification of the expenses. Cost of revenue includes expenses associated with the acquisition, inspection, manufacturing and receiving of materials for use in the manufacturing process. These costs include inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, internal transfer costs as well as depreciation, amortization, wages, benefits and other costs that are incurred directly or indirectly to support the manufacturing process. Our cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was $107.4 million, an increase of $26.4 million or 32.6%, from $81.0 million for the same period of 2010. The increased cost of revenue in 2011 was due to the increase in sales. Our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue remained constant at about 70% for the same period of both years.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was $45.3 million, an increase of 12.8 million, or 39.1%, from $32.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in gross profit was a result of our expansion of sales in the China domestic market, which resulted in an overall 146% increase in sales compared to the same period of 2010. Our gross margin remained relatively stable at 29.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 28.7% for the same period of 2010, an increase of 1%. Our gross margin is higher in the China domestic market compared to the export market because products generally sell at much higher prices at retail and wholesale in China. Our gross margin is in line with other comparable companies specializing in small household and kitchen appliances in the China domestic market. In addition, we have continued to improve our manufacturing efficiency through in-house production of motors and other primary components of our products, thereby benefiting further from economies of scale.

Operating Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses includes expenses associated with the distribution of our products, sales efforts, including commissions payable to in store promotional staff, administration costs and other costs that are not incurred to support the manufacturing process. The Company records distribution costs associated with the sale of inventory as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Statements of Consolidated Income. These expenses include warehousing costs, outbound freight charges and costs associated with distribution personnel. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, were $14.1 million, an increase of $4.9 million, or 52.4%, from $9.3 million for the same period of 2010. Selling expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, increased by $4.7 million, or 78.6%, in comparison to the same period of 2010, due to our significant increase in sales. Associated selling expenses include advertising to expand the market, increase brand awareness and generate the significant increase in sales. As expected, our direct advertising costs remained minimal during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, because we hire factory representatives and in-store promoters to promote our products directly to consumers at retail locations. We believe this direct in-store promotion approach, a standard practice in the small household appliances industry in China, is highly effective in marketing to consumers in the unique Chinese retail environment as compared to traditional mass media advertising channels, which can cause significant television and other mass media advertising expense without target customer interaction. According to a survey in the 2010 China Small Electronics Market Research Report, approximately 60% of Chinese consumers surveyed purchased small household appliances after being introduced to the product by in-store promoters. Our in-store promoters market our products exclusively and directly to in-store customer traffic. We anticipate having approximately 1,000 in-store promoters by the end of 2011, hired directly by us or through third party distributors. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our salary expense increased $1.3 million, or 125%, compared to the same period in 2010 due to our hiring of additional employees to work as in-store promoters in the China domestic market, and increased bonus expense payable to these in-store promoters due to increased sales. Our freight expense increased $1.6 million, or 45%, and promotion expense increased $1.3 million, or 1413%, compared to 2010 period due to our increase in sales. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, increased by $0.1 million, or 4.1% in comparison to the 2010 period due to an increase in research and development expenses, spent to improve the quality of our products.

Interest and Financing (Costs) income, net

Interest and financing costs, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was a net gain of $170,844, a decrease of $263,532, or 60.7%, from a net gain of $434,376 for the same period of 2010. The change was due principally to interest income decreasing from $519,814 in the 2010 period to $170,844 in the 2011 period as our cash position decreased due to expenses incurred to expand our production capacity and to fulfill our general working capital needs.

Other Income, net

Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was $966,575 compared to a $17,450 for the 2010 period, an increase of $949,125. The increase was due mainly to a grant from the PRC government of $1,046,663 received in the 2011 period, in recognition of our promoting the local economy and our expansion in overseas markets.

Foreign Exchange Transaction Gain (Loss)

Foreign exchange transaction loss for nine months ended September 30, 2011, was $464,225 compared to foreign exchange transaction loss of $884,431 for the same period of 2010, a decrease of $420,206. The decrease was due principally to foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There were no off-balance sheet arrangements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our interests.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On December 17, 2009, we completed an underwritten public offering led by William Blair & Company and BMO Capital Markets of 6,900,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $11.00 per share, including overallotment, for gross proceeds of $75,900,000.

During 2010, certain warrant holders exercised warrants to purchase 1,759,114 shares of our common stock that resulted in gross proceeds of $6,964,510.

In May 2010, we announced a $20 million share buyback program. We purchased 798,300 shares of our common stock on the open market during 2010 and returned such shares to the treasury for cancelation. We may purchase additional shares of our common stock from time to time on the open market pursuant to the buyback program.

Cash Flows

As of September 30, 2011, we had $26.8 million in cash and equivalents on hand. Our principal demands for liquidity are to help increase our sales in China by adding capacity, purchasing inventory and for sales distribution infrastructure and general corporate purposes. We anticipate that the amount of cash we have on hand as of September 30, 2011, as well as the cash that we will generate from operations, will satisfy these requirements.

At September 30, 2011, other current assets were $104.3 million and current liabilities were $31.4 million. Working capital was $99.7 million. The current ratio was 4.18:1.

The following is a summary of cash provided by or used in each of the indicated types of activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

	2011			2010
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	(7,127,119	)	$	1,344,182
Investing activities		2,092,557			(27,113,057	)
Financing activities		(3,359,256)			(305,672	)

Net cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was $7.1 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $1.3 million for the same period of 2010. The increased cash outflows from operating activities despite an increase in our net income and increased advance from customers was attributable principally to increased inventory in stock, payments for accounts payables, tax payable and bank notes. The increase in our inventory is within our expectations and consistent with our strategy as we anticipate continued sales increases in the China domestic market.

Net cash flows provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was $2.1 million compared to net cash used of $27.1 million for the same period of 2010, which was principally from the return of a deposit due to not securing land use rights, partially offset by purchase of property and equipment and payment for construction in progress of our new building and workshop.

Net cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was $3.4 million, compared to $0.3 million for the same period of 2010. The increase in cash outflows from financing activities was attributed principally to dividends paid totaling $3.4 million, as compared to the 2010 period, where we paid $0.3 million offering costs, received $6.9 million from exercise of warrants but paid approximately $7.0 million for the purchase of treasury shares.

We sell our products in the China domestic market through a broad range of distribution outlets including regional and national wholesalers and third party distributors. Our standard terms for accounts receivable for several of our large and established China domestic retailers is 180 days from the close of the billing cycle, which is 30 – 45 days after our products are delivered. These terms are customary for large and established China domestic retailers. Historically, we have not experienced late payments or bad debts under such terms from these select retailers. The term for accounts receivable for our other domestic customers is 30 – 90 days from the close of the billing cycle. We sell our products to overseas customers in the export markets under letters of credit, prepaid arrangements, certain short credit terms or direct customer purchase orders. Our export sales-related account receivables typically are less than three months, depending on customer shipment schedules. Historically, we have not experienced significant bad debts from export sales. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we had accounts receivable turnover of 3.76 on an annualized basis, with sales outstanding of 97 days. For the same period of 2010, we had accounts receivable turnover of 5.12 on an annualized basis, with sales outstanding of 71days. The lower accounts receivable turnover and higher days outstanding in the nine months ended in September 30, 2011, compared to the same period of 2010, was due to our rapid growth in sales in the China domestic market, which typically have longer accounts receivable schedules than in export markets. As we continue to focus on our expansion in the China domestic markets, our sales in the China domestic market may represent a larger percentage of our total revenue. We anticipate that our accounts receivable will remain in line with standard industry practice relating to accounts receivable in China, which could be up to seven months.

Pending Litigation

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in currency exchange rates and commodity prices for certain of our raw materials. We currently do not engage in forward foreign exchange agreements or other hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. We do not engage in hedging transactions to protect against raw material pricing fluctuations; instead, we attempt to mitigate the short-term risks of price swings by purchasing raw materials in advance.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, contains information about our exposure to market risks under “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” There has been no material change in our exposure to market risks during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), our principal executive officer, and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2011. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date because management had not completed remediation of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified during the fourth quarter of 2010, as described below and discussed in “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, our management has concluded that our consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this report are prepared in accordance with US GAAP and fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each of the periods presented herein.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As of September 30, 2011, we are in the process of remediating the following material weaknesses identified by management in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). The material weaknesses identified during management’s assessment as of December 31, 2010, were: (i) ineffective documentation and testing of information technology (“IT”) related controls over financial reporting; and (ii) a lack of technical accounting expertise among our financial staff regarding the requirements of the PCAOB Accounting Standard No. 5 and Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in the assessment of internal control over financial reporting. In light of these material weaknesses, management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.

We have developed certain remediation steps to address these material weaknesses and to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, the following remediation steps are being implemented or are planned to be implemented:

·	adoption of an IT framework that documents key IT controls and addressing testing procedures that could potentially impact financial reporting;

hiring of additional credentialed professional staff and consulting professionals with greater knowledge of US GAAP in our domestic operations and the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to oversee our financial reporting process in order to ensure our compliance with US GAAP and the relevant securities laws; and

·	provide additional training to our accounting staff on US GAAP, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the requirements of the PCAOB, and regarding the preparation of financial statements.

We believe the measures described above will facilitate remediation of the material weaknesses management identified and will continue to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may determine that additional measures are necessary to address control deficiencies.

Other than the changes discussed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
