Note 1 – Organization
 
China Valves Technology, Inc., (the “Company”), is incorporated in Nevada in August 1997. Through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, the Company focuses primarily on the development, manufacture and sale of high-quality metal valves for the electricity, petroleum, chemical, water, gas and metal industries in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Our operations are headquartered in Kaifeng, Henan Province, PRC.  

China Valve Samoa was incorporated on June 6, 2007 in Samoa and its principle activity was its investment in all of the outstanding capital stock of China Valve Holding Limited, a corporation incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong (“China Valve Hong Kong”). China Valve Hong Kong, in turn, was the owner of all of the outstanding equity interests in Henan Tonghai Valve Technology Co., Ltd., (“Henan Tonghai Valve”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the PRC which in turn owned all of the outstanding equity interests in two entities (the “Operating Subsidiaries”), namely, Henan Kaifeng High Pressure Valve Co., Ltd., (“High Pressure Valve”) and Zhengzhou City Zhengdie Valve Co., Ltd., (“Zhengdie Valve”), both corporations incorporated under the laws of the PRC.

 RESTRUCTURING PLAN
 
The Company undertook a restructuring plan intended to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements of the PRC. Under that plan, on April 1 and 3, 2008, the Company transferred 100% of the equity of the Operating Subsidiaries back to Sipang Fang, the Company’s majority shareholder, Chief Executive Officer and President and the other original owners, with the intention that Sipang Fang would transfer the Operating Subsidiaries to a new entity controlled by Mr. Bin Li (a Canadian citizen and Mr. Siping Fang’s cousin), and that Mr. Li would then sell such entity to the Company, thereby allowing the Company to reacquire legal ownership of the Operating Subsidiaries.
 
Under the restructuring plan, on April 10, 2008, Mr. Sipang Fang, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, sold 12,150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by him to Mr. Li for HK$10,000 (approximately $1,281). In connection with his acquisition of the Shares, Mr. Li issued to Mr. Fang a HK$10,000 note. The note, which does not bear interest, is due sixty days after a written demand for payment is made by Mr. Fang to Mr. Li, provided that such demand is made on or after October 15, 2008. The sale represented a change of control of the Company and the Shares acquired by Mr. Li represented approximately 60.75% of the then issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company calculated on a fully-diluted basis. Prior to the acquisition, Mr. Li was not affiliated with the Company. However following the acquisition, Mr. Li is deemed an affiliate of the Company as a result of his stock ownership interest in the Company. In connection therewith, Mr. Fang and Mr. Li entered into an Earn-In Agreement (the “Earn-In Agreement”) pursuant to which Mr. Fang obtained the right and option to re-acquire the shares of the Company from Mr. Li, subject to the satisfaction of four conditions as set forth in the Earn-In Agreement, as follows: (1) 6,075,000 shares, upon the later occurrence of either (i) the date that is six months after April 10, 2008 or (ii) the date upon which Mr. Fang and Henan Tonghai Valve enter into a binding employment agreement for a term of not less than five years for Mr. Fang to serve as Henan Tonghai Valve’s chief executive officer and chairman of its board of directors; (2) 2,025,000 shares upon the declaration of effectiveness of a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; (3) 2,025,000 shares when the Operating Subsidiaries achieve after-tax net income of not less than $3,000,000, as determined under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) consistently applied for six months ended June 30, 2008; and (4) 2,025,000 of the Shares when the Operating Subsidiaries achieve not less than $7,232,500 in pre tax profits, as determined under GAAP, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Conditions (3) and (4) have been met. The shares under the Earn-In Agreement are also the subject of a Make-Good Escrow Agreement in connection with the Company’s August 26, 2008 private placement (see Note 12).

In accordance with the restructuring plan, Mr. Li established China Fluid Equipment Holdings Limited (“China Fluid Equipment”) on April 18, 2008, to serve as the 100% owner of a new PRC subsidiary, Henan Tonghai Fluid Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Henan Tonghai”). On June 30, 2008, Henan Tonghai acquired the Operating Subsidiaries from Mr. Fang and the other original owners. The acquisitions were consummated under the laws of the PRC. The former Hong Kong holding company, China Valve Hong Kong and its subsidiary Henan Tonghai Valve, which no longer hold any assets, are now dormant. On July 31, 2008, the Company and Mr. Li completed the restructuring plan when Mr. Li transferred all of the capital stock of China Fluid Equipment to the Company pursuant to an Instrument of Transfer for a nominal consideration of HK$10,000. As a result of these transactions, the Operating Subsidiaries are again the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. During the time that the operating subsidiaries were held by the original owners as part of the restructuring plan, Siping Fang made an additional capital contribution of $1,317,095 to Zhengdie Valve which, subsequent to the reacquisition of the subsidiaries, is to be returned to him (see Note 11).
 
 
 
As part of these restructuring transactions, no significant amounts were paid to or received from Mr. Fang or Mr. Li. Mr. Li was not at risk during these transactions and no new capital was introduced. As a result, no new basis in the net assets of the Operating Subsidiaries was established. During this restructuring, Mr. Fang continued to serve as Chairman and Chief Executive of the Company and, together with other management of the Company, continued to direct both the day-to-day operating and management of the Operating Subsidiaries, as well as their strategic direction. Because of this operating and management control and because the restructuring plan effectively resulted in the Company continuing to bear the residual risks and rewards related to the Operating Subsidiaries, the Company continued to consolidate the Operating Subsidiaries during the restructuring. The acquisition by the Company on July 31, 2008 of the new holding company for the Operating Subsidiaries, which represented the return to legal ownership of the Operating Subsidiaries by the Company, represented a transaction between related parties under common control and did not establish a new basis in the assets and liabilities of the Operating Subsidiaries. The Earn-In Agreement will enable Mr. Fang to regain ownership of the Company’s shares originally transferred by him to Mr. Li as part of the restructuring arrangements and, accordingly, the Company does not consider his re-acquisition of those shares to represent compensation cost to the Company. However, those shares are also subject to a Make-Good Escrow Agreement in connection with the Company’s August 26, 2008 private placement and their release from that escrow may require us to recognize compensation cost (see Note 12). On November 17, 2008, the Company’s subsidiary, China Fluid Equipment established a new holding company, Tai Zhou Tai De Valve Co., Ltd. for the purpose of acquiring new valve manufacturing companies. The newly established company’s approved registered capital is $3,000,000 (RMB 20,468,819), which has been received from China Fluid Equipment as of June 30, 2009.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP").  In the opinion of management, the accompanying balance sheets, and statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, considered necessary to give a fair presentation of operating results for the periods presented.  All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Management has included all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to give a fair presentation of operating results for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the 2008 annual report filed on Form 10-K.  The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through August 14, 2008, which is the date the financial statements were issued.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 104. Sales revenue is recognized when all of the following have occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured. These criteria are generally satisfied at the time of shipment when risk of loss and title passes to the customer.
 
The Company recognizes revenue when the goods are delivered and title has passed. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (“VAT”). All of the Company’s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 17% of the gross sales price or at a rate approved by the Chinese local government. This VAT may be offset by the VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing their finished product.
 
The Company allows its customers to retain 5% to 10% of the contract prices as retainage during the warranty period, usually 12 or 18 months, to guarantee product quality. Historically, the Company has experienced very few actual warranty claims resulting in the Company having to repair or exchange a defective product. Due to the infrequency and insignificant amount of warranty claims, the ability to collect retainage is reasonably assured and is recognized at the time of shipment.
 
COST OF GOODS SOLD
 
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of direct material costs, direct labor costs, direct depreciation and related direct expenses attributable to the production of the products. Inbound shipping and handling costs and purchasing are included in direct material costs. Manufacturing overhead includes expenses such as indirect labor, depreciation as it relates to the cost of production, rent, utilities, receiving costs, and equipment maintenance and repairs.
 
SHIPPING AND HANDLING
 
Shipping and handling costs incurred for shipping of finished products to customers are included in selling expense and totaled $103,545 and $50,411 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and 2008, respectively.  Shipping and handling costs amounted to $212,639 and $78,855 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

SELLING EXPENSE

Selling expense includes transportation expense, advertising, salaries, conference fees and sales commissions.

GENERAL AND ADMINSTRATIVE EXPENSE

General and administrative expenses include insurance expense, administrative and management salaries, bad debt expense, depreciation, rent, travel expense, welfare expense, office expenses, meal and entertainment expense, conference expense, and repairs and maintenance expense.

ADVERTISING 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $1,379 and $1,780 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and 2008, respectively and $7,884 and $15,535 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
 
The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The functional currency of the Company and the local currency of its operating subsidiaries, High Pressure Valve and Zhengdie Valve, is the Chinese Renminbi (RMB).
 
For those entities whose currency is other than the US dollar, all assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; shareholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and items in the statements of income and of cash flows are translated at the average rate for the period. Because cash flows are translated based on the average translation rate, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported in the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances in the balance sheet. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.
 
 
 
 
The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were translated at 6.83 RMB and 6.82 RMB to $1.00, respectively. The average translation rates applied to the statements of income and of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were 6.83 RMB and 6.97 RMB to $1.00, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were 6.82 RMB and 7.05 RMB to $1.00, respectively.
 
PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
 
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset, ranging from five to thirty years.
 
Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction as well as acquisition and design fees incurred. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. Interest incurred during construction is capitalized into construction in progress. All other interest is expensed as incurred. No depreciation is provided until construction is completed and the asset is ready for its intended use. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to expenses as incurred. Major additions and betterments to property and equipment are capitalized.
 
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
Intangible assets consist of goodwill, patents, software and land use right. The Company records goodwill when the purchase price of the net assets acquired exceeds their fair value. In accordance with SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill has an indefinite life and therefore costs are not amortized but reviewed for impairment.  Patents and software are subject to amortization. Patents, which have a legal life of 10 years in the PRC, are being amortized over 5 years as management believes that five years is the estimated useful life of the patents currently owned by the Company. Land use rights are carried at cost and charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the period the rights are granted, 46.4 years. Software is amortized over 10 years, its estimated useful life.
 
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
The Company reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived assets, including intangibles, for impairment, each reporting period. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is considered not recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flow. As of June 30, 2009, the Company determined no impairment charges were necessary.
   
INVENTORY
 
The Company values its inventory at the lower of cost or market, determined on a weighted average method, or net realizable value. The Company reviews its inventories periodically to determine if any reserves are necessary for potential obsolescence or if a write down is necessary because the carrying value exceeds net realizable value.  
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
 
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of material and equipment that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities and which have alternative future uses, either in research and development, marketing, or sales, are classified as property and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
 
RETIREMENT BENEFIT COSTS
 
Amounts payable for the PRC state managed retirement benefit programs are expensed in the financial statements following the accrual basis of accounting.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
The Company applies SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” and FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) for accounting for income taxes.  SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Because the Company has no operations within the United States, there is no provision for US income taxes and there are no deferred tax amounts as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
 
 

 
The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred taxes are accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit.  In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
 
Deferred taxes are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled.  Deferred taxes are charged or credited in the income statement, except when they relate to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred taxes are also recorded in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
 
Under FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in banks and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition.
 
RESTRICTED CASH
 
The Company’s restricted cash consists of cash in the bank as security for its exported products, notes payable and cash in held escrow pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into on August 26, 2008. For restricted cash held in bank, the restriction is released after the customers have received and inspected the products. The Company has notes payable outstanding with various banks and is required to keep certain amounts on deposit that are subject to withdrawal restrictions. Cash held in escrow pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement is released after the Company satisfies certain covenants as stated in the Securities Purchase Agreement, see note 12. Restricted cash amounted to $2,562,307 and $3,191,237 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
 
CONCENTRATION RISKS
 
The Company's operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC's economy. The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, restrictions on currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Certain financial instruments may subject the Company to concentration of credit risk. The Company maintains bank deposits within state-owned banks within the PRC and Hong Kong. Balances at financial institutions of state owned banks within the PRC are not covered by insurance. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company’s cash and restricted cash balances, totaling $20,727,084 and $11,984,233 respectively at those dates, were not covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.
 .
Five major suppliers represented approximately 22% and 44% of the Company’s total purchases for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, five major suppliers represented approximately 20% and 37%, respectively of the Company’s total purchases. Five major customers represented approximately 15% and 23% of the Company’s total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, five major customers represented approximately 14% and 21%, respectively of the Company’s total sales.
 
 
 
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” defines financial instruments and required fair value disclosure of those instruments. SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements” adopted January 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. Receivables, investments, payables, short and long term debt and warrant liabilities qualified as financial instruments. Management believes the carrying amounts of receivables, payables and debt are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments, their expected realization, and if applicable, their stated interest rate is equivalent to interest rates currently available. The three levels are defined as follows:
 
Level 1   inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) 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 assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
 
Level 3   inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

 The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity,” SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” and EITF 07-5 “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock.” Paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133 “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities” specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF 07-5 provides a two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. All warrants issued by the Company are denominated in U.S. dollars; because the Company’s functional currency is the Renminbi, the Company accounts for these warrants as derivative instrument liabilities and marks them to market each period. Because there is no quoted or observable market price for the warrants, the Company used level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology.

The Company invested in China Perfect Machinery Industry Co., Ltd. in 1996 and Kaifeng Commercial Bank in 1997.  There is no quoted or observable market price for these investments; therefore, the Company used level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology.  Based on its proportionate share of the underlying book value of the investees, the Company believes the fair value of the investments is at least equal to the original cost. The determination of the fair value was based on the capital investment that the Company contributed.  There has been no change in the carrying value since inception, other than the effects of translating the balances to US dollars.
  
A discussion of the valuation technique used to measure the fair value of the warrant liabilities is provided in Note 12.

Except for the warrant liability and investments, the Company did not identify any other asset and liability that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with SFAS 157.

RECEIVABLES
 
The Company’s business operations are conducted in the PRC by selling on various credit terms. Management reviews its receivables on a quarterly basis to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Known bad debts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. The Company’s existing reserve is consistent with its historical experience and considered adequate by management.
 
EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 128, "Earnings per Share." SFAS 128 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution (using the treasury stock method) that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock.
 
 
 
As described in Notes 11 and 12, on August 26, 2008, the Company issued 2,750,000 shares as consideration for the transfer to the Company of certain land use rights and property.  The shares were in escrow, pending PRC governmental approval of the transfer for the year ended December 31, 2008.  In accordance with SFAS 128, outstanding common shares that are contingently returnable (that is, subject to recall) are treated in the same manner as contingently issuable shares. Therefore, the 2,750,000 shares were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2008.  On March 6, 2009, the land use rights and property were transferred to the Company and the shares were released from escrow, thus resolving the contingency and the 2,750,000 shares have been included in basic and diluted earnings per share for the period ended June 30, 2009.

As described in Note 12, the placement agent, Brean Murray, Carret & Co., LLC converted 352,349 warrant shares to 201,149 shares of common stock on February 18, 2009. A total of $756,012 of carrying value and warrant liability had been reclassified into equity and have been included in basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods ended June 30, 2009.

All share and per share amounts used in the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively restated to reflect the 1-for-2 reverse stock split, which are effective on July 30, 2009.  Although this reverse stock split has already occurred under Nevada corporate law, the Company advises that as of August 13, 2009, the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) does not yet reflect this stock split.  The Company’s common stock trades under the OTCBB ticker symbol, “CVVT” on a pre 1-for-2 reverse stock split basis.

The Company invested in China Perfect Machinery Industry Co., Ltd. in 1996 and Kaifeng Commercial Bank in 1997. The Company owns approximately 0.14% of China Perfect Machinery Industry Co. Ltd. and approximately 4.01% of Kaifeng Commercial Bank. The Company does not have the ability to exercise control over the investee companies and the investments have been recorded under the cost method. These long term investments amounted to $763,472 and $764,515 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
 
The Company evaluates potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investments may not be recoverable. For investments carried at cost, the Company recognizes impairment in the event that the carrying value of the investment exceeds our proportionate share of the net book value of the investee. As of June 30, 2009, management believes no impairment charge is necessary.
 
CUSTOMER DEPOSITS
 
Customer deposits represent amounts advanced by customers on product orders. The product normally is shipped within six months after receipt of the advance payment and the related sale is recognized in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, customer deposits amounted to $3,723,925 and $3,129,708, respectively.
  
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
 
The Company applies SFAS 123R “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, which defines a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock based employee compensation and transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods and services from non-employees. Stock compensation for stock granted to non-employees has been determined in accordance with SFAS 123R and EITF 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services", as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. SAB 107 allows the “simplified” method to determine the term of employee options when other information is not available.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FAS 141R, “Business Combinations” to replace FAS 141, “Business Combinations”. FAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in FAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which FAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. FAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. This replaces FAS 141’s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values.
 
 
On April 17, 2009, a subsidiary of the Company acquired 100% of the tangible assets of Taizhou Wote Valve Co., Ltd. for a total cash consideration of $3 million.  The acquisition was accounted as a business combination in accordance to the terms of the purchase agreement.  Assets acquired included inventories of $1.0 million, buildings of $1.4 million, equipments of $0.4 million, and land use rights of $0.4 million.  The Company allocated the purchase price based on the fair value of the assets acquired and recorded a gain of approximately $252,000. 
 
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In January 2009, the FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-1, “Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20, and EITF Issue No. 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets” (“FSP EITF 99-20-1”). FSP EITF 99-20-1 changes the impairment model included within EITF 99-20 to be more consistent with the impairment model of SFAS No. 115. FSP EITF 99-20-1 achieves this by amending the impairment model in EITF 99-20 to remove its exclusive reliance on “market participant” estimates of future cash flows used in determining fair value. Changing the cash flows used to analyze other-than-temporary impairment from the “market participant” view to a holder’s estimate of whether there has been a “probable” adverse change in estimated cash flows allows companies to apply reasonable judgment in assessing whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The adoption of FSP EITF 99-20-1 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements because all of the investments in debt securities are classified as trading securities.

In April 2009, the FASB issued three related FASB Staff Positions: (i) FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS No. 124-2, Recognition of Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”), (ii) FSP FAS No. 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”), and (iii) FSP FAS No. 157-4, Determining the Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP FAS 157-4”), which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 modifies the requirement for recognizing other-than-temporary impairments, changes the existing impairment model, and modifies the presentation and frequency of related disclosures. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as in annual financial statements.  FSP 157-4 requires new disclosures regarding the categories of fair value instruments, as well as the inputs and valuation techniques utilized to determine fair value and any changes to the inputs and valuation techniques during the period. The adoption of these FASB Staff Positions did not have a material impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events.” SFAS No. 165 establishes the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. We adopted this standard during the second quarter of 2009.  FAS 165 requires that public entities evaluate subsequent through the date that the financial statements are issued. We have evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” SFAS No. 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and clarifies the determination of whether a transferor and all of the entities included in the transferor’s financial statements being presented have surrendered control over transferred financial assets. SFAS No. 166 requires that a transferor recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained (including a transferor’s beneficial interest) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale. Enhanced disclosures are required to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and a transferor’s continuing involvement with transferred financial assets. This statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS No. 167”). SFAS No. 167 amends FIN 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (revised December 2003)—an interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46(R)”) to require an enterprise to perform a qualitative assessment of whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This assessment identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as one with the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest. SFAS No. 167 will be effective as of the beginning of the annual reporting period commencing after November 15, 2009 and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2010. The Company is assessing the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 167 on its consolidated financial statements

 
In June, 2009 the FASB issued FAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (FAS 168), which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. FAS 168 explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. FAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 26, 2009 and all subsequent public filings will reference the Codification as the sole source of authoritative literature.

Note 8 - Taxes
 
Income Taxes

The Company conducts all its operating business through its two subsidiaries in China. The two subsidiaries are governed by the income tax laws of the PRC and do not have any deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities under the income tax laws of the PRC because there are no temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The Company by itself does not have any business operating activities in the United States and is therefore not subject to United States income tax.
 
The Company’s subsidiaries are governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and various local income tax laws (the Income Tax Laws).  Beginning January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law has replaced the previous laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DEs”) and Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIEs”). The new standard EIT rate of 25% has replaced the 33% rate previously applicable to both DEs and FIEs.
 
Prior to 2008, under the Chinese Income Tax Laws, FIEs generally were subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 33% (30% state income taxes plus 3% local income taxes) on income as reported in their statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments unless the enterprise was located in specially designated regions for which more favorable effective tax rates apply.  Beginning January 1, 2008, China has unified the corporate income tax rate on foreign invested enterprises and domestic enterprises. The unified corporate income tax rate is 25%.  
 
The Company’s operating subsidiaries, High Pressure Valve, Zhengdie Valve and Taizhou Wote, are all subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 25%.
  
The following table reconciles the U.S. statutory rate to the Company’s effective tax rate:

The Company has cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries of approximately $34,507,000 as of June 30, 2009, is included in consolidated retained earnings and will continue to be indefinitely reinvested in international operations. According, no provision has been made for U.S. deferred taxes related to future repatriation of these earnings, nor is it practicable to estimate the amount of income taxes that would have to be provided if we concluded that such earnings will be remitted in the future.

Value Added Tax

VAT on sales and VAT on purchases in China amounted to $5,609,401 and $2,546,856 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and $2,084,447 and $990,525 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. VAT on sales and VAT on purchases in China amounted to $7,261,870 and $3,480,594 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and $4,047,985 and $1,692,359 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. 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 impacted by the income tax holiday.

Note 9 – Statutory reserves
 
The laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China require that before a foreign invested enterprise can legally distribute profits, it must first satisfy all tax liabilities, provide for losses in previous years, and make allocations, in proportions determined at the discretion of the board of directors, to the statutory reserve. The statutory reserves include the surplus reserve fund and the common welfare fund.
 
The Company is required to transfer 10% of its net income, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the Company’s registered capital. The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of any dividends to shareholders. The remaining reserve to fulfill the 50% registered capital requirement amounted approximately $15.0 million and $15.9 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholding or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issue is not less than 50% of the registered capital.
 
Note 10 - Commitments and contingencies
 
The Company’s subsidiary, ZhengDie Valve entered into a lease agreement for a manufacturing plant and office space with ZhengZhou Cheng Long Corporation, an unrelated party, from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008. The lease agreement was subsequently extended to December 31, 2012.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, total lease expense, including amounts included in cost of sales, was $85,779 and $139,201, respectively. Total lease expense, including amounts included cost of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $171,487 and $268,054, respectively.

Note 11 – Related party transactions
 
The Company had the following significant related party transactions as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2008:
 
The Company received advances from Mr. Siping, Fang, our Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Bin Li, its shareholder, for cash flow purposes. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the outstanding amount due to Mr. Fang was $114,721 and $658,367, respectively, and the amount due to Mr. Li was $160,000, and $0, respectively. The advances are unsecured, interest-free and have no fixed terms of repayment, but are expected to be repaid in cash upon demand. In 2008, during the reorganization of the ownership of the Operating Subsidiaries (see Note 1 – Restructuring Plan), Siping Fang contributed $1,317,095 to Zhengdie Valve to enable them to meet their approved PRC registered capital requirements. Following our re-acquisition of the legal ownership of the Operating Subsidiaries and the subsequent consummation of the Securities Purchase Agreement related to the private placement of our common stock, this contribution is to be returned to Mr. Fang.  During the second quarter of 2009, Mr. Fang personally guaranteed and paid off certain receivables due to the Company using the aforementioned working capital advances. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, total outstanding other payables amounted to $274,721 and $1,975,462, respectively.

The Company borrowed money from certain employees for cash flow purposes. The loans bear interest at 10% per annum due on demand. Loans from employees amounted to $163,103 and $131,263 as of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. The Company borrowed money from various family members of Mr. Siping Fang for working capital purposes. The loans are unsecured, interest free and have no fixed terms of repayment, but are expected to be repaid in cash upon request. These loans amounted to $360,603 and $465,528 as of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively.
 
As discussed in Note 12, on August 26, 2008, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary High Pressure Valve and Kaifeng High-Pressure Valve Steel Casting Limited Liabilities Company (the “Casting Company”) entered into an Agreement for Transfer of Land Use Right and Housing for the transfer of certain real estate to High Pressure Valve. Mr. Bin Fang is not related to either Mr. Siping Fang, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman or Mr. Binjie Fang, our Chief Operating Officer and a director. Under the Real Estate Transfer Agreement, the Company purchased from the Casting Company the land use rights and factory facilities that it currently leases.  The Company placed 2,750,000 shares of common stock in escrow, to be released to Mr. Bin Fang when the Real Estate Transfer is completed, in consideration for his agreement to have the Casting Company transfer the land use rights and facilities to the Company.  Because the transfer of the land use rights and facilities requires governmental approval in the PRC, which it was expected could take up to ten months to obtain, the Company entered into a new lease agreement with the Casting Company, effective August 26, 2008 until High-Pressure Valve acquires title to the Real Estate from the Casting Company in accordance with the Real Estate Transfer agreement. The Real Estate Transfer Agreement was negotiated contemporaneously with the Securities Purchase Agreement described above and was a condition precedent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, the 2,750,000 shares of common stock issued under the Real Estate Transfer Agreement were valued at $9,834,000 or $3.576 per share, the same price paid on August 26, 2008 by the accredited investors under the Securities Purchase Agreement described above.  The market price of the Company’s common stock on August 26, 2008 was $10.00 per share.  However, the Company’s common stock is currently thinly traded and the Company believes that the cash price paid on that date by the accredited investors for their shares is a better indicator of the fair value of the shares issued under the Real Estate Transfer Agreement.
 
 

 
The transfer of the title to the Real Estate was completed on March 6, 2009, and with effect from that date, it is accounted for as fixed assets and intangible assets and depreciated over its estimated useful lives. As a result of the transfer of the Real Estate on March 6, 2009, the Company has also released the 2,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from escrow to Mr. Bin Fang. The release of escrow shares to Bin Fang had no impact on the consolidated financial statements. In addition, High Pressure Valve and the Casting Company entered into a Leaseback Agreement (the “Leaseback Agreement”) pursuant to which High Pressure Valve agreed to lease back the portion of the Real Estate used by the Casting Company at an annual rental of $80,000 for a period of one year starting on the date of the acquisition of title to the Real Estate by High Pressure Valve.  The Company has not leased-back the real estate to the Casting Company as of June 30, 2009.
 
As a result of the Company’s issuance of common shares to the Casting Company’s shareholder, Mr. Bin Fang, the Casting Company became a related party. On August 26, 2008, High Pressure Valve and the Casting Company, which is our largest supplier, entered into a Manufacturing and Supply Agreement pursuant to which the Casting Company agreed to provide High Pressure Valve with molds, casts, dies and other supplies and equipment for use in the manufacture of High Pressure Valve’s products. The Casting Company also agreed to use its production capacity to fulfill High Pressure Valve’s orders before it may take any orders from third parties. The term of the agreement is five years.  The agreement does not require High Pressure Valve to purchase any minimum volume or value of products.  Prices will be determined at the time orders are submitted to the Casting Company, based on prevailing market prices. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, advances on inventory purchases to the Casting Company amounted to $891,991 and $1,367,446, respectively.

Note 12 – Shareholders' equity
 
PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING

On August 26, 2008, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors.  Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investors 8,389,302 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 29.5% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $30 million, or $3.576 per share.
 
As a condition precedent to the private placement transaction contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Investors also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company was obligated to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 on Form S-1 covering the resale of the Shares and any other shares of common stock issued to the Investors under the Securities Purchase Agreement within 90 days of the closing. The Company also agreed to make the registration statement effective no later than the 135th day following the closing date or the fifth trading day following the date on which the Company is notified by the Securities and Exchange Commission that such registration statement will not be reviewed or is no longer subject to further review and comments, whichever date is earlier. The Company later obtained an extension from the investors providing that the registration agreement should be effective no later than March 31, 2009, The registration statement was declared effective on April 7th, 2009. Subsequently, the investors have waived liquidated damages for the 7 day late period.

In conjunction with the private placement, the Company entered into separate lock-up agreements (the “Lock-up Agreements”) with each director and officer of the Company, which precluded such individuals from selling or otherwise disposing of any shares held by them for a period commencing from and after the date of the Lock-up Agreement and through and including the one year anniversary of the effective date of a registration statement resulting in all Shares being registered for resale by the Investors.
 
In conjunction with the private placement, the Company entered into a holdback escrow agreement (the “Holdback Escrow Agreement”) with the Investors and Escrow, LLC, as escrow agent pursuant to which the Company agreed that an aggregate of $3,150,000 of the Purchase Price (the “Holdback Amount”) would be deposited on the Closing Date with the Escrow Agent and be distributed upon the satisfaction of certain covenants set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $105,616 and $128,130 are left in the escrow account related to investor relations expenses to be incurred by the Company.

 
In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, on August 26, 2008, the Company also entered into a make good escrow agreement (the “Make Good Escrow Agreement”) with Bin Li (the “Pledgor”), the Investors, Brean Murray, Carret & Co., LLC and the Escrow Agent, 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, 2009 and/or 2010.  Pursuant to the Make Good Escrow Agreement, the Pledgor placed in escrow 12,583,032 shares of the Company’s common stock held by him, to be held for the benefit of the Investors. Of these shares, 12,150,000 are the subject of the Earn-In Agreement between Bin Li and Siping Fang, described in Note 1, and Bin Li entered into the Make Good Escrow Agreement on behalf of Siping Fang. For each of the calendar years 2008, 2009 and 2010, 4,194,344 shares will be released to the Investors or returned to the shareholder, depending on the fulfillment of specified earnings targets. The specified earnings target for calendar 2008 was net income of $10,500,000, for calendar 2009 the target is net income of $23,000,000 and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.738 and for calendar 2010 the target is net income of $31,000,000 and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.994.  In the event that shares are required to be released from escrow to the Investors, such shares will be recorded as a contribution to capital and a simultaneous issuance of common shares to the Investors. The return to Bin Li of any of the shares placed in escrow by him on behalf of Siping Fang is considered to be a separate compensatory arrangement because Siping Fang is an officer and director of the Company. Accordingly, if any of the required earnings targets are met and shares are returned to Bin Li, the Company will recognize compensation cost at that time equal to the then fair value of the shares returned, up to a total of 12,150,000 shares. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s net income (prior to any compensation charge related to release of the shares from escrow was $10,762,129 which met the earnings target for 2008 of net income of $10,500,000. Accordingly, the Company recorded non-cash compensation of $14,998,974 in the fourth quarter of 2008 related to the release from escrow to Bin Li of 4,194,344 shares. The Company’s common stock is currently thinly traded and therefore the Company does not believe that the prices at which such trades of the Company’s common stock as have occurred are necessarily reflective of the fair value of the shares released from escrow as of December 31, 2008. Accordingly, the Company has used the cash price of $3.576 paid by the Investors in the private placement to measure the compensation charge to be recorded as of December 31, 2008 as a result of the release of 4,194,344 shares to Bin Li. If the earnings targets for 2009 and 2010 are met and the Company is thus required to record additional non-cash compensation charges for the release of shares from escrow to Bin Li, the Company will make a determination of the appropriate fair value of those shares at that time.  No compensation charges will be recorded if the earnings targets are not met and the shares are released from escrow to the Investors.

Based on the Company’s current performance and other factors, the Company determines that it is probable that the earnings target for 2009 will be achieved. Accordingly, the Company recorded non-cash compensation of $7,499,487 in the second quarter of 2009. The Company’s common stock continues to be thinly traded and therefore the Company has used the cash price of $3.576 paid by the Investors in the private placement to measure the compensation charge recorded. The Company will reassess the probability at each reporting period based on its probability assessment.

WARRANTS

At the closing of the private placement, as part of the compensation to the placement agent, the Company issued warrants to the placement agent to acquire 587,248 shares of common stock. The warrants have a strike price equal to $4.2912 and a term of 3 years. The shares underlying the warrants will have registration rights. The warrants contain a standard anti-dilution provision for stock dividends, stock splits, stock combination, recapitalization and a change of control transaction.  Because the warrants are denominated in U.S. dollars and the Company’s functional currency is the Renminbi, they do not meet the requirements of EITF 07-5 to be indexed only to the Company’s stock.  Accordingly, they are accounted for at fair value as derivative liabilities and marked to market each period 

The initial value of the warrants was determined using the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein binomial model using the following assumptions:  volatility of 75%; risk free interest rate of 2.64%; dividend yield of 0% and expected term of 3 years. The volatility of the Company’s common stock was estimated by management, the risk free interest rate was based on Treasury Constant Maturity Rates published by the U.S. Federal Reserve for periods applicable to the life of the warrants, the dividend yield was based on the Company’s current and expected dividend policy and the expected term is equal to the contractual life of the warrants.  The value of the warrants was based on the Company’s common stock price of $3.576 on the date the warrants were issued. The warrants were valued at $959,196 when they were issued on August 26, 2008.

On February 18, 2009, the placement agent, Brean Murray, Carret & Co., LLC performed a cashless exercise of 352,349 warrant shares; which were converted to 201,149 shares of common stock. The Company valued the conversion on exercise date, and recorded $229,673 loss from changes in fair value of derivative. A total of $756,012 of carrying value and derivative liability had been reclassified into equity. As of June 30, 2009, the estimated fair value of the remaining warrants was $495,714. The Company recorded a loss of $3,545 and $144,830 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, related to these warrants. These losses were recorded in the Company’s income statement.

The Company issued warrants to purchase 50,000 shares at $6.00 per share, to CCG investors Relation Partners LLC on December 12, 2007 for one year of services to be provided. The initial value of the warrants was determined using the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein binomial model using the following assumptions: volatility 75%; risk free interest rate 3.12%; dividend yield of 0% and expected term of 3 years. The warrants were initially valued at $65,574, all of which was expensed in 2008. At June 30, 2009, these warrants were valued at $73,199. The Company recorded a gain of $2,911 and a loss of $26,131 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, related to these warrants. These losses were recorded in the Company’s income statement.

Our Company History

      We were originally incorporated on August 1, 1997 in the State of Nevada.  Our name has changed several times over the years and on December 18, 2007, we amended our articles of incorporation to change our name to China Valves Technology, Inc.  We had no active business operations from 2001 until December 18, 2007, when we completed a share exchange transaction with China Valve Samoa, a company incorporated under the laws of Samoa, and its sole shareholder Mr. Siping Fang.  In the share exchange transaction, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of China Valve Samoa from its sole shareholder in exchange for 20,000,000 shares, or 99.8%, of our common stock and a cash payment by China Valve Samoa of $490,000.  Our acquisition of China Valves Samoa was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization of our Company in which China Valve Samoa was deemed to be the accounting acquirer.   Accordingly, the historical financial statements for periods prior to December 18, 2007 are the financial statements of China Valve Samoa, including Zhengdie Valve and High Pressure Valve, except that the equity section and earnings per share data have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse acquisition.
 
 
At the time of the share exchange transaction, China Valve Samoa was the holding company which indirectly owned both of our Operating Subsidiaries. Following our acquisition of China Valves Samoa (and indirectly, the Operating Subsidiaries) and in anticipation of our August 2008 private placement transaction, we developed a group reorganization plan to ensure that the manner in which we acquired our Operating Subsidiaries complied with PRC merger and acquisition related regulations.  The group reorganization plan involved modifying our acquisition of our Operating Subsidiaries previously acquired as a result of our acquisition of China Valves Samoa and the concurrent re-acquisition of the Operating Subsidiaries through newly established entities incorporated by Bin Li (a Canadian citizen then unaffiliated with the Company, but who is the cousin of our Chairman Siping Fang).

As part of the reorganization, on April 10, 2008, Mr. Fang sold 12,150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by him (the “Shares”) and which he had received in the exchange transaction involving China Valves Samoa described above, to Mr. Li.  In connection with Mr. Li’s acquisition of the Shares from Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang and Mr. Li entered into an Earn-In Agreement (the “Earn-In Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Fang obtained the right and option to re-acquire the Shares from Mr. Li, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.  When all the conditions have been satisfied, Mr. Fang will be able to regain ownership of all the shares in the Company that he originally acquired when he transferred to the Company his interest in the Operating Subsidiaries, subject to their release from the Make Good Escrow Agreement described below.

In connection with the Company’s private placement on August 26, 2008, the Company entered into a Make Good Escrow Agreement, under which the 12,583,032 shares of the Company’s common stock held by Bin Li, the Company’s major shareholder, were placed in escrow for the benefit of the investors in the private placement. This Make Good Escrow Agreement was amended on August 14, 2009. Of these shares, 12,150,000 are the subject of the Earn-In Agreement between Bin Li and Siping Fang as described above and Bin Li entered into the Make Good Escrow Agreement on behalf of Siping Fang. For each of the calendar years 2008, 2009 and 2010, 4,194,344 shares will be released to the investors or returned to Bin Li, depending on the fulfillment of specified earnings targets. The specified earnings targets (before any charges related to the release of any shares from escrow and after giving effect to the amendment to the Make Good Escrow Agreement that became effective on August 14, 2009) are (a) for calendar 2008, net income of $10,500,000, (b) for calendar 2009, net income of $21,000,000 and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.668 and (c) for calendar 2010, net income of $34,000,000 and fully diluted earnings per share of $1.082. If the earnings target for any year is not met and shares are required to be released from escrow to the investors, such shares will be recorded as a contribution to capital and a simultaneous issuance of common shares to the investors. If the earnings target for any year is met, the return to Bin Li of any of the 12,150,000 shares placed in escrow by him on behalf of Siping Fang is considered to be a separate compensatory arrangement because Siping Fang is an officer and director of the Company. Accordingly, if any of the required earnings targets are met and shares are returned to Bin Li, the Company will recognize a non-cash compensation charge at that time equal to the then fair value of the shares returned (up to a total of 12,150,000 shares). For the year ended December 31, 2008, the earnings target was met and accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash charge to compensation cost of $14,998,974 in the fourth quarter of 2008 related to the release from escrow to Bin Li of 4,194,344 shares.

Based on the Company’s current performance and other factors, the Company determines that it is probable that the earnings target for 2009 will be achieved. Accordingly, the Company recorded non-cash compensation of $7,499,487 in the second quarter of 2009. The Company’s common stock continues to be thinly traded and therefore the Company has used the cash price of $3.576 paid by the investors in the private placement to measure the compensation charge recorded. The Company will reassess the probability at each reporting period based on its probability assessment

The above acquisition and reorganization transactions, and the related Earn-In and Make Good Escrow Agreements are more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, to which reference should be made for further information.
 
Recent Developments

    The Company completed the construction of the new production facility at High Pressure Valve in the first quarter of 2009. The new 13,000 square meter (approximately 140,000 square feet) facility will focus mainly on producing high-end large diameter metal valves used in the oil and petrochemical, thermal and nuclear power, and water supply and drainage industries.  The new production facility is also capable of producing high-quality forged steel valves for use in supercritical thermal power generating units.  The new facility is designed to have an approximately $30 million production capacity.

The Company began trial production at the beginning of June 2009 and expects to start commercial production at this new production facility in late August 2009.

On July 24, 2009, the Company amended its articles of incorporation with the State of Nevada to effect a one-for-two reverse stock split. The reverse stock split affects all issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reverse stock split with any fractional shares rounded up to the next highest whole share. As a result of the reverse split, the Company has approximately 31,393,701 shares issued and outstanding. The reverse split took effect on August 13, 2009. All share and per share amounts used in this report, including the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes have been retroactively restated to reflect the 1-for-2 reverse stock split.
 
 
Overview of Our Business

Through our subsidiaries and certain commercial and contractual relationships and arrangements with other Chinese companies, we operate companies in China that develop, manufacture and distribute high quality metal valves for a variety of different industries.  We are located in Kaifeng, Henan Province and conduct business throughout China, Southeast Asia, the Middle-East and Europe.  Our production facility in Kaifeng has an area of approximately 110,000 square meters.  We produce over 700 models of valves and service numerous industries, including the thermal power, water supply, municipal construction, sewage disposal, oil and chemical, metallurgy, heat power, and nuclear power industries.  We are the leader in valve sales for the thermal power and water supply industries, according to the China Valves Industry Association.  

Although the United States and Europe have been most affected by the recent financial crisis, governments throughout the Asia-Pacific region have also taken steps to stabilize their markets. To offset slowing global growth, on November 5, 2008, at the State Council meeting, Premier Wen Jiabao offered a RMB4 trillion ($586 billion) stimulus package for the next two years and announced the government would move to a proactive fiscal and a moderately relaxed monetary policy.
 
Pursuant to the stimulus package, the Chinese government has committed to launch more projects related to people’s livelihood and infrastructure and decided to invest RMB100 billion ($14.49 billion) in these projects, starting in the fourth quarter of 2008. (Source: China Daily). The actions taken by the Chinese government should significantly increase the demand for valve products which are essential for infrastructure construction and will provide market opportunities for the Company.
 
           In addition, although the financial crisis has affected Chinese enterprises that rely on overseas markets, China Valves has not been materially affected as less than 10% of our revenue is generated from exports and the relatively strong domestic market demand has positioned us to continue to grow notwithstanding the current financial crisis.

           Management believes that the recent financial crisis in the US and Europe should not have any materially negative impact on our business, and management believes we will benefit from the stimulus plan of the central government of China.

Industry Wide Trends that are Relevant to Our Business

The valve industry in China is large and growing as a result of growth in urbanization and heavy industrialization throughout all of China.   Our industry is usually categorized into the following five major segments depending on the end user of the particular valve products: (1) oil; (2) power; (3) water supply; (4) petrochemical; and (5) metallurgy. The oil segment and the power segment rank as the largest segments accounting for 25% and 21%, respectively, followed by the water supply, petrochemical and metallurgy segments with 14%, 12%, and 8% market share, respectively. Miscellaneous and varied end users of valve products account for the remaining 20% market share.

Sales of valve products in the Chinese domestic market reached $7.08 billion in 2007, an increase of 32% from the previous year, and the Chinese market is expected to increase at an annual rate of more than 30% for the next 5 years according to the China Valve Industry Association’s research.  We believe that total domestic demand for valves will reach $12 billion by 2010 and will be driven primarily by the energy and water treatment segments with operations and projects in urban centers.  The stimulus package being implemented by the Chinese government in response to the global economic crisis is expected to emphasize basic infrastructure construction projects for water, electricity, gas and heat in order to ensure continuous economic development and meet the requirement of improving people’s living standard.  We believe that these initiatives should generate strong demand for valves and promising business prospects for the valve industry and our Company, especially as China’s valve market keeps growing and developing. We intend to focus our efforts on utilizing our tangible and intangible resources to expand and strengthen our products and increase our market share in response to industry demands.

Second quarter Financial Performance Highlights

Sales Revenue
Our sales revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 amounted to $24.9 million, which is approximately $13.1 million or 111.1% more than that of the same period in 2008, where we had revenue of $11.8 million.   The increased sales revenue was attributable to (1) increased demand for our products fueled by rapid industrialization and manufacturing development in China, (2) our successful marketing efforts, (3) retaining our existing customers and adding additional large customers, (4) our expansion into the nuclear power station valve market segment, and (5) volume increased for our innovations on high temperature high pressure power station gate valves and two-way metal sealing butterfly valves because the Company has established its brand in China

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales, which consist of raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead expenses, was $12.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $5.5 million or 79.4%, as compared with $6.9 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2008. Cost of sales as a percentage of total revenues were 50.0% and 58.8% for the three month periods ended on June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, with a decrease of approximately 8.8%.  The decrease was a result of lower production costs caused by decreased cost of raw materials and strengthened production cost control.  Since the fourth quarter of 2008, the prices of raw materials went down as a result of the global financial crisis. The purchasing prices of our major raw materials, including the prices of casting steel, weld puddle, disc and rotor decreased 18% on average in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.

Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses, which consist primarily of sales commission, advertising and promotion expenses, freight charges and related compensation, were $1.8 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, compared with $856,034 for the period ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $943,885 or approximately 110.3% due to the increase of sales volume in the period. In addition, with the implementation of the strengthened cost control policy in 2009, the percentage increase of sales and marketing expenses was less than that of sales.

General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses, which consist primarily of related salaries and benefits, business development, traveling expenses, legal and professional expenses and depreciation, and bad debt expenses, were $8.7 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, compared with $1.7 million for the period ended June 30, 2008, a increase of $7.0 million or approximately 414.7%. Included in these expenses is a non-cash stock compensation charge of $7.5 million, as discussed below. The remaining increase was primarily attributable to increases in our auditing, accounting and legal fees related to our status as a public reporting company.
 
 
As described in Note 12 to the Company’s June 30, 2009 consolidated financial statements, in connection with the Company’s private placement on August 26, 2008, the Company entered into a Make Good Escrow Agreement which was amended on August 14, 2009, under which 12,583,032 shares of the Company’s common stock held by Bin Li, the Company’s major shareholder, were placed in escrow. These shares are the subject of an Earn-In Agreement between Bin Li and Siping Fang as described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements and Bin Li entered into the Make Good Escrow Agreement on behalf of Siping Fang. For each of the calendar years 2008, 2009 and 2010, 4,194,344 shares will be released to the investors or returned to the shareholder, depending on the fulfillment of specified earnings targets after giving effect to the amendment to the Make Good Escrow Agreement. The specified earnings target for calendar 2008 was net income of $10,500,000, for calendar 2009 the target is net income of $21,000,000 and fully diluted earnings per share of $ 0.668 and for calendar 2010 the target is net income of $34,000,000 and fully diluted earnings per share of $1.082. In the event that shares are required to be released from escrow to the investors, such shares will be recorded as a contribution to capital and a simultaneous issuance of common shares to the investors. The return to Bin Li of any of the shares placed in escrow by him on behalf of Siping Fang is considered to be a separate compensatory arrangement because Siping Fang is an officer and director of the Company.  Accordingly, if any of the required earnings targets are met and shares are returned to Bin Li, the Company will recognize a non-cash compensation cost at that time equal to the then fair value of the shares returned. For 2009, the earnings target of net income is $21,000,000 and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.668 (before any charges related to the release of any shares from escrow). As it is probable that the Company will meet the earning target of 2009, the Company recorded a non-cash charge to compensation cost of $7.5 million in the second quarter of 2009 related to the pledged shares in the escrow account of Bin Li.

Income From Operations
Income from operations was $1.9 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, compared with $2.3 million for the period ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $0.4 million or approximately 15.2%.  The decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in sales and gross margin in the current quarter after deducting a $7.5 million non-cash compensation expenses in the second quarter. Income from operations excluding the non-cash compensation expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 was $9.4 million, compared with $2.3 million for the period ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $7.1 million or approximately 308.7%.

Other income (expenses)
Total other income was $895,053 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, compared with $37,670 for the period ended June 30, 2008.  The financial expenses for the three month period ended on June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $54,703 and $157,766, respectively. 

Income taxes
We incurred income taxes of $2.6 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009.  This is an increase of $2.0 million or 318.1% from the taxes we incurred in the 2008 period, which were $0.62 million.  We incurred more taxes in the three months ended June 30, 2009 mostly because of the higher taxable income in the three month period ended on June 30, 2009 compared to 2008.

Provision for Income Taxes

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

Hong Kong
China Fluid Equipment was incorporated in Hong Kong and is not subject to income taxes under the current laws of Hong Kong.

PRC

A company registered in China is subject to national and local income taxes within China at the applicable tax rate on the taxable income as reported in its PRC statutory financial statements in accordance with relevant income tax laws.  Under the Provisional Taxation Regulation of the People’s Republic of China effective before January 1, 2008, income tax was generally payable by enterprises at a rate of 33% of their taxable income.

In 2007, China passed the New EIT Law and its implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008.  The New EIT Law significantly curtails tax incentives granted to foreign-invested enterprises under the previous law.  The New EIT Law, however, (i) reduces the statutory rate of enterprise income tax from 33% to 25%, (ii) permits companies to continue to enjoy their existing tax incentives, adjusted by certain transitional phase-out rules, and (iii) introduces new tax incentives, subject to various qualification criteria.

Substantially all of our income may be derived from dividends we receive from our PRC operating subsidiaries described above.  The New EIT Law and its implementing rules generally provide that a 10% withholding tax applies to China-sourced income derived by non-resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes.  We expect that such 10% withholding tax will apply to dividends paid to us by our PRC subsidiaries, but this treatment will depend on our status as a non-resident enterprise.  For detailed discussion of PRC tax issues related to resident enterprise status, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Under the New EIT Law, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of China.  Such classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders.”
 
 
Net Income
We earned net income of $212,711 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009.  This is a decrease of $1.5 million or approximately 87% from the period ended June 30, 2008 which had a net income of $1.7 million.   The primary factor for the decrease is a non-cash compensation expense of $7.5 million in the current quarter.

The Company’s management uses non-GAAP adjusted net income to measure the performance of the Company’s business internally by excluding non-cash expenses related to the Make Good Escrow Agreement and change in fair value of warrant liabilities.  The Company’s management believes that the non-GAAP adjusted financial measures allow the management to focus on managing business operating performance because the measures reflect the essential operating activities of the Company and provide a consistent method of comparison to historical periods. The Company believes that providing the non-GAAP measures that management uses internally to its investors is useful to investors for a number of reasons. The non-GAAP measures provide a consistent basis for investors to understand the Company's financial performance in comparison to historical periods without variation of non-recurring items and non-operating related charges. In addition, it allows investors to evaluate the Company's performance using the same methodology and information as that used by the management. Non-GAAP measures are subject to inherent limitations because they do not include all of the expenses included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment of which charges are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measure. However, the management compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded.

The following table provides the non-GAAP financial measure and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure to the GAAP income from operations and net income.

Sales Revenue
Our sales revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 amounted to $42.1 million, which is approximately $17.4 million or 70% more than that of the same period in 2008, where we had revenue of $24.8 million.  The increase was primarily attributed to (1) increased demand for our products fueled by rapid industrialization and manufacturing development in China, (2) our successful marketing efforts, (3) retaining our existing customers and adding additional large customers, (4) our expansion into the nuclear power station valve market segment, and (5) volume increased for our innovations on high temperature high pressure power station gate valves and two-way metal sealing butterfly valves because the Company has established its brand in China.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $21.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $6.6 million or 44.2%, as compared with $14.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008. Cost of sales as a percentage of total revenues were 50.7% and 59.8% for the six month periods ended on June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, with a decrease of approximately 9.1%.  The decrease was a result of lower production costs caused by decreased cost of raw materials and strengthened production cost control.  Since the fourth quarter of 2008, the prices of raw materials went down as a result of the global financial crisis. The purchasing prices of our major raw materials, including the prices of casting steel, weld puddle, disc and rotor decreased 18% on average in the second half of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.

Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses were $2.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, compared with $1.9 million for the period ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $1.0 million or approximately 56.5% due to the increase of sales performance in the period. In addition, with the implementation of the strengthened cost control policy in 2009, the percentage increase of sales and marketing expenses was less than that of sales.

General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses were $11.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, compared with $3.3 million for the period ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $8.0 million or approximately 244.3%.  Included in these expenses is a non-cash compensation charge of $7.5 million, as discussed above. The remaining increase was primarily attributable to an increases in our auditing, accounting and legal fees related to our status as a public reporting company.

Income From Operations
Income from operations was $6.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, compared with $4.7 million for the period ended June 30, 2008, a increase of $1.8 million or approximately 38.8%.  The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in sales and gross margin in the current quarter after deducting a $7.5 million non-cash compensation expenses in the second quarter. Income from operations excluding the non-cash compensation expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 was $14.0 million, compared with $4.7 million for the period ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $9.3 million or approximately 197.8%.

Other income (expenses)
Total other income was $1.0 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, compared with $286,984 for the period ended June 30, 2008.  The financial expenses for the six month period ended on June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $126,152 and $291,594, respectively.

Income taxes
We incurred income taxes of $3.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009.  This is an increase of $2.6 million or 202.7% from the taxes we incurred in the 2008 period, which were $1.3 million.  We incurred more taxes in the six months ended June 30, 2009 mostly because of the higher taxable income in the six month period ended on June 30, 2009 compared to 2008.

Net Income
We had net income of $3.2 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009.  This is a decrease of $250,306 or approximately 7.3% from the period ended June 30, 2008 which had a net income of $3.4 million.   The primary factor for the decrease is a non-cash compensation expense of $7.5 million in the second quarter.
 
 
 
The Company’s management uses non-GAAP adjusted net income to measure the performance of the Company’s business internally by excluding a non-cash compensation expense related to the Make Good Escrow Agreement.  The Company’s management believes that the non-GAAP adjusted financial measure allows the management to focus on managing business operating performance because the measure reflect the essential operating activities of the Company and provide a consistent method of comparison to historical periods. The Company believes that providing the non-GAAP measures that management uses internally to its investors is useful to investors for a number of reasons. The non-GAAP measures provide a consistent basis for investors to understand the Company's financial performance in comparison to historical periods without variation of non-recurring items and non-operating related charges. In addition, it allows investors to evaluate the Company's performance using the same methodology and information as that used by the management. Non-GAAP measures are subject to inherent limitations because they do not include all of the expenses included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment of which charges are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measure. However, the management compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded.
.
The following table provides the non-GAAP financial measure and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure to the GAAP income from operations and net income.

The Company currently generates its cash flow through operations which it believes will be sufficient to sustain the current level of operations for at least the next twelve months.  In 2009, we continue to work to develop new valves and expand our presence as the leader in the development and manufacture of various valves.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $15.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $46,743 in the same period in fiscal year 2008. The change of $15.3 million in operating activities was primarily attributable to a $7.5 million non-cash compensation expense accrual, increases in customer deposit and tax payable for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The Company has improved the collection of accounts receivables by implementing new sales commission policies and strengthening the collection efforts through compensating sales agents on timely collection.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased to $7.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with $1.7 million in the same period in fiscal year 2008.  
 
 
Financing Activities

Net cash used by financing activities was $4.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with net cash obtained from financing activities of $3.2 million in the same period in fiscal year 2008. The decrease in net cash is attributable to the repayment of $4.8 million of short term loan.

As of June 30, 2009, there was no principal outstanding under our credit facilities and lines of credit.

Capital Expenditures

The capital expenditures in the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are set out as below. Our capital expenditures were used primarily for plant construction and purchase of equipment to expand our production capacity. The table below sets forth the breakdown of our capital expenditures by use for the periods indicated.

Make Good Escrow Agreement

In connection with the private placement, our major stockholder Bin Li entered into an escrow agreement with the private placement investors. Pursuant to the escrow agreement which was amended on August 14, 2009, Bin Li agreed to certain “make good” provisions. In the escrow agreement, we established minimum net income thresholds of $10,500,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, $21,000,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and $34,000,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. Bin Li deposited a total of 12,583,032 shares into escrow with Escrow LLC under the escrow agreement. If the 2008 net income threshold is not achieved, then the escrow agent must deliver the first tranche of 4,194,344 shares to the investors on a pro rata basis (based upon the total number of shares purchased by the investors in connection with the private placement transaction), If the 2009 net income threshold is not achieved, then the escrow agent must deliver the second tranche of 4,194,344 shares to the investors on a pro rata basis and if the 2010 net income threshold is not achieved, the escrow agent must deliver the second tranche of 4,194,344 shares to the investors on a pro rata basis. However, only those private placement investors who remain our stockholders at the time the escrow shares become deliverable are entitled to their pro rata portion of such escrowed shares.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s net income (prior to any compensation charge related to release of the shares from escrow) was $10,762,129 which met the earnings target for 2008 of net income of $10,500,000. Accordingly, the Company released 4,194,344 shares from the escrow to Bin Li.

Other than the contractual obligations and commercial commitments set forth above, we did not have any other long-term debt obligations, capital commitments, purchase obligations or other long-term liabilities as of June 30, 2009.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, (2) the disclosure of our contingent assets and liabilities at the end of each fiscal period and (3) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each fiscal period. We continually evaluate these estimates based on our own historical experience, knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions, our expectations regarding the future based on available information and reasonable assumptions, which together form our basis for making judgments about matters that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, our actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application.
 
When reviewing our financial statements, the following should also be considered: (1) our selection of critical accounting policies, (2) the judgment and other uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, and (3) the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions. We believe the following accounting policies involve the most significant judgment and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 104. Sales revenue is recognized when all of the following have occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured. These criteria are generally satisfied at the time of shipment when risk of loss and title passes to the customer.
 
The Company recognizes revenue when the goods are delivered and title has passed. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). All of the Company ’ s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 17% of the gross sales price or at a rate approved by the Chinese local government. 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 finished product.

Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Income

The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The functional currency of our Chinese operating entities High Pressure Valve and Zhengdie Valve is the Renminbi (RMB).

For the subsidiaries whose functional currencies are other than the US dollar, all assets and liabilities accounts were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; shareholders’ equity is translated at the historical rates and items in the income and cash flow statements are translated at the average rate for the year. Because cash flows are calculated based using the average translation rate, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders’ equity. The resulting translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.
 
 
Accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity amounted to $6,077,912 and $6,158,977 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were translated at 6.83 RMB and 6.82 RMB to $1.00 USD, respectively. The average translation rates applied to income and cash flow statement amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were 6.82 RMB and 7.05 RMB to $1.00, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS 109) that requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Because the Company had no operations within the United States there is no provision for US income taxes and there are no deferred tax amounts as of June 30, 2009 and 2008.
 
The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recorded in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption of FIN 48 had no affect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
Warranties
 
We typically warranty all of our products. It is the Company’s policy to replace parts if they become defective within one year after deployment at no additional charge.  Historically, failure of product parts due to materials or workmanship is rare. Therefore, at June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, the Company made no provision for warranty claims for our products.  Management continuously evaluates the potential warranty obligation. Management will record the expenses related to the warranty obligation if the estimated amount becomes material at the time revenue is recorded.

Concentration Risks

The Company's operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC's economy. The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. 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.
 
Certain financial instruments may subject the Company to concentration of credit risk. The Company maintains bank deposits within state-owned banks within the PRC and Hong Kong. Balances at financial institutions of state owned banks within the PRC are not covered by insurance. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company’s cash and restricted cash balances, totaling $20,727,084 and $11,984,233, respectively at those dates, were not covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.
 
Five major suppliers represented approximately 22% and 44% of the Company’s total purchases for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, five major suppliers represented approximately 20% and 37% respectively of the Company’s total purchases. Five major customers represented approximately 14% and 21% of the Company’s total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, five major customers represented approximately 14% and 21%, respectively of the Company’s total sales.
 
 
Accounts Receivable and Allowance For Doubtful Accounts
  
The Company’s business operations are conducted in the PRC. During the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its customers by selling on various credit terms. Management reviews its accounts receivable on a quarterly basis to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. The Company’s existing reserve is consistent with its historical experience and considered adequate by the management.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” on January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for receivables and payables qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value 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 are defined as follows:

Level 1   inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) 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 assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3   inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity,” SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” and EITF 07-5 “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock.” Paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133 “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities” specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF 07-5 provides a two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. All warrants issued by the Company are denominated in U.S. dollars; because the Company’s functional currency is the Renminbi, the Company accounts for these warrants as derivative instrument liabilities and marks them to market each period. Because there is no quoted or observable market price for the warrants, the Company used level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology.

The Company invested in China Perfect Machinery Industry Co., Ltd. in 1996 and Kaifeng Commercial Bank in 1997.  There is no quoted or observable market price for these investments; therefore, the Company used level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology.  Based on its proportionate share of the underlying book value of the investees, the Company believes the fair value of the investments is at least equal to the original cost. The determination of the fair value was based on the capital investment that the Company contributed.  There has been no change in the carrying value since inception, other than the effects of translating the balances to US dollars.

Except for the warrant liability and investments, the Company did not identify any other asset and liability that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with SFAS 157.
 
Long Term Investment
 
The Company invested in China Perfect Machinery Industry Co., Ltd. in 1996 and Kaifeng Commercial Bank in 1997. The Company owns approximately 0.14% of China Perfect Machinery Industry Co. Ltd. and approximately 4.01% of Kaifeng Commercial Bank. The Company does not have the ability to exercise control over the investee companies and the investments have been recorded under the cost method. 
 
The Company periodically evaluates potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investments may not be recoverable. For investments carried at cost, the Company recognizes impairment of long term investments in the event that the carrying value of the investment exceeds our proportionate share of the net book value of the investee. As of June 30, 2009, management believes no impairment charge is necessary.
 
 
Goodwill

We test goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that impairment may have occurred, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate or a decision to sell or dispose of all or a portion of a reporting unit. Our operating subsidiaries are considered separate reporting units for purposes of this evaluation. Determining whether an impairment has occurred requires valuation of the respective reporting unit, which we estimate using a discounted cash flow method. In applying this methodology, we rely on a number of factors, including actual operating results, future business plans, economic projections and market data.
 
We test other identified intangible assets with defined useful lives and subject to amortization by comparing the carrying amount to the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. We test any other intangible assets with indefinite lives annually for impairment using a fair value method such as discounted cash flows.

Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123R”), which defines a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock based employee compensation and transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods and services from non-employees. Stock compensation for stock granted to non-employees has been determined in accordance with SFAS 123R and the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus in Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services" ("EITF 96-18"), as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. SFAS 123R allows the “simplified” method to determine the term of employee options when other information is not available.
 
Changes in Accounting Standards

In January 2009, the FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-1, “Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20, and EITF Issue No. 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets” (“FSP EITF 99-20-1”). FSP EITF 99-20-1 changes the impairment model included within EITF 99-20 to be more consistent with the impairment model of SFAS No. 115. FSP EITF 99-20-1 achieves this by amending the impairment model in EITF 99-20 to remove its exclusive reliance on “market participant” estimates of future cash flows used in determining fair value. Changing the cash flows used to analyze other-than-temporary impairment from the “market participant” view to a holder’s estimate of whether there has been a “probable” adverse change in estimated cash flows allows companies to apply reasonable judgment in assessing whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The adoption of FSP EITF 99-20-1 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements because all of the investments in debt securities are classified as trading securities.

In April 2009, the FASB issued three related FASB Staff Positions: (i) FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS No. 124-2, Recognition of Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”), (ii) FSP FAS No. 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”), and (iii) FSP FAS No. 157-4, Determining the Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP FAS 157-4”), which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 modifies the requirement for recognizing other-than-temporary impairments, changes the existing impairment model, and modifies the presentation and frequency of related disclosures. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as in annual financial statements.  FSP 157-4 requires new disclosures regarding the categories of fair value instruments, as well as the inputs and valuation techniques utilized to determine fair value and any changes to the inputs and valuation techniques during the period. The adoption of these FASB Staff Positions did not have a material impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events.” SFAS No. 165 establishes the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. We adopted this standard during the second quarter of 2009.  FAS 165 requires that public entities evaluate subsequent through the date that the financial statements are issued.  We have evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” SFAS No. 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and clarifies the determination of whether a transferor and all of the entities included in the transferor’s financial statements being presented have surrendered control over transferred financial assets. SFAS No. 166 requires that a transferor recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained (including a transferor’s beneficial interest) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale. Enhanced disclosures are required to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and a transferor’s continuing involvement with transferred financial assets. This statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS No. 167”). SFAS No. 167 amends FIN 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (revised December 2003)—an interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46(R)”) to require an enterprise to perform a qualitative assessment of whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This assessment identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as one with the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest. SFAS No. 167 will be effective as of the beginning of the annual reporting period commencing after November 15, 2009 and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2010. The Company is assessing the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 167 on its consolidated financial statements
 
In June, 2009 the FASB issued FAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (FAS 168), which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. FAS 168 explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. FAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 26, 2009 and all subsequent public filings will reference the Codification as the sole source of authoritative literature.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Seasonality

Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have not been subject to seasonal variations. This pattern may change, however, as a result of new market opportunities or new product introductions.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, Messrs. Siping Fang and  Ms. Ichi Shih respectively, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, Mr. Fang and Ms. Shih concluded that despite improvements in areas of previously identified weakness in internal control over financial reporting identified (described below), our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2009.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is focused on compliance with the requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The relevant section of the Act requires the management of smaller reporting companies with equity securities listing in the U.S. securities market to issue report and representations as to the internal control over financial reporting. The Company anticipates that it will be fully compliant with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 by the required date for smaller reporting companies and it is currently in the process of improving and rectifying its internal control systems in order to be compliant with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
 
 
The Company has continuously refined the policies and standards for the control environment based on the risk control framework established in the Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO”). In the past few months, the Company has: standardized control procedures for monitoring the financial reporting and period end financial closing procedures at the subsidiary and group level and upgraded the business performance review processes and controls; expanded accounting manuals to clearly document key controls and processes for preparing consolidated financial statements in accordance with applicable accounting standards; hired additional accounting professionals with experience in financial reporting and familiarity with international accounting practices and increased technical training for the finance and accounting personnel in respect of relevant accounting standards; established and implemented the code of ethics for senior officers and employees, company-wide anti-fraud policies and whistle blowing mechanisms; enhanced internal controls over subsidiaries by assessing the effectiveness of internal controls at subsidiary-level based on our enterprise risk assessment results and preliminarily formulated long term implementation plan on internal control.

The Company had completed the documentation and implementation of internal control framework in June 2009.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
 
Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
Under the New EIT Law, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of China. Such classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders.

China passed a new Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the New EIT Law, and its implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the New EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a “resident enterprise,” meaning that it can be treated in a manner similar to a Chinese enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes.  The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define de facto management as “substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise.
On April 22, 2009, the State Administration of Taxation issued the Notice Concerning Relevant Issues Regarding Cognizance of Chinese Investment Controlled Enterprises Incorporated Offshore as Resident Enterprises pursuant to Criteria of de facto Management Bodies, or the Notice, further interpreting the application of the New EIT Law and its implementation non-Chinese enterprise or group controlled offshore entities.  Pursuant to the Notice, an enterprise incorporated in an offshore jurisdiction and controlled by a Chinese enterprise or group will be classified as a “non-domestically incorporated resident enterprise” if (i) its senior management in charge of daily operation reside or perform their duties mainly in China; (ii) its financial or personnel decisions are made or approved by bodies or persons in China; (iii) its substantial properties, accounting books, corporate chops, board and shareholder minutes are kept in China; and (iv) ½ directors with voting rights or senior management often resident in China.  Such resident enterprise would be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on its worldwide income and must pay a withholding tax at a rate of 10% when paying dividends to its non-PRC shareholders.  However, it remains unclear as to whether the Notice is applicable to an offshore enterprise incorporated by a Chinese natural person.  Nor are detailed measures on imposition of tax from non-domestically incorporated resident enterprises are available. Therefore, it is unclear how tax authorities will determine tax residency based on the facts of each case.

However, as our case substantially meets the foregoing criteria, there is a likelihood that we are deemed to be a  resident enterprise by Chinese tax authorities. If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. In our case, this would mean that income such as interest on financing proceeds and non-China source income would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Second, although under the New EIT Law and its implementing rules dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiaries would qualify as “tax-exempt income,” we cannot guarantee that such dividends will not be subject to a 10% withholding tax, as the PRC foreign exchange control authorities, which enforce the withholding tax, have not yet issued guidance with respect to the processing of outbound remittances to entities that are treated as resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes.  Finally, it is possible that future guidance issued with respect to the new “resident enterprise” classification could result in a situation in which a 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC shareholders and with respect to gains derived by our non-PRC shareholders from transferring our shares.  We are actively monitoring the possibility of “resident enterprise” treatment for the 2008 tax year and are evaluating appropriate organizational changes to avoid this treatment, to the extent possible.

If we were treated as a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we would be subject to taxation in both the U.S. and China, and our PRC tax may not be creditable against our U.S. tax.
