NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

SORL Auto Parts, Inc.( “the Company”) is principally engaged in the manufacture and distribution of automotive air brake systems, air controlling systems and other related components for different types of commercial vehicles, such as trucks, and buses, through its 90% ownership of Ruili Group Ruian Auto Parts Company Limited (“Ruian”) in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”) and 60% ownership of SORL International Holding, Ltd. ("SIH") in Hong Kong. The Company distributes products both in China and internationally under SORL trademarks. The Company’s product range includes 40 categories of brake systems with over 1000 different specifications.

On November 11, 2009, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with MGR, a Hong Kong-based global auto parts distribution specialist firm and a Taiwanese investor. The new joint venture was named SORL International Holding, Ltd. ("SIH"). SORL holds a 60% interest in the joint venture, MGR holds a 30% interest, and the Taiwanese investor holds a 10% interest. SIH is primarily devoted to expanding SORL's international sales network in Asia-Pacific and creating a larger footprint in Europe, the Middle East and Africa with a target to create a truly global distribution network. Based in Hong Kong, SIH is expanding and establishing channels of distribution in international markets with SORL's primary products, including spring brake chambers, clutch servos, air dryers, relay valves and hand brake valves.

On February 8, 2010, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to selected institutional investors at a price of $10.00 per share pursuant to a registered direct offering. This transaction provided net proceeds of approximately $9.4 million. On March 9, 2010, through Fairford, SORL invested $9.349 million in its operating subsidiary, the Ruili Group Ruian Auto Parts Co., Ltd.(the “Joint Venture”) To maintain its 10% shareholding in the Joint Venture, the Ruili Group increased its capital investment by $1.039 million. Accordingly, SORL continues to hold a 90% controlling interest in the operating subsidiary.

NOTE B - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conjunction with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes that the disclosures contained in this report are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K and other reports filed with the SEC.

The accompanying condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily comparable to, or indicative of, results of any other interim period or for the fiscal year taken as a whole.

NOTE C- RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STANDARDS

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 860-10-05 (Prior authoritative literature: FASB Statement No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”).  FASB ASC 860-10-05 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. FASB ASC 860-10-05 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. As such, the Company was required to adopt this standard in January 2010. The adoption of FASB ASC 860-10-05 has not had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 
6

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 810-10-05 (Prior authoritative literature: FASB Statement No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”). FASB ASC 810-10-05 improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to address (1) the effects on certain provisions of prior authoritative literature FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in prior authoritative literature SFAS 166 and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of prior authoritative literature Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. FASB ASC 810-10-05 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. As such, the Company was required to adopt this standard in January 2010. The adoption of FASB ASC 810-10-05 has not had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued revised authoritative guidance related to variable interest entities, which requires entities to perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether a variable interest gives the entity a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. The guidance also requires an ongoing reassessment of variable interests and eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for determining whether an entity is the primary beneficiary. This guidance, which was reissued by the FASB in December 2009 as ASU  No. 2009-17, “Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities,” amends ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation”, and became effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 (January 1, 2010 for the Company). The adoption of this guidance has not had a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updated (ASU) No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which amends ASC 820, “Fair Value Measures and Disclosures.” ASU No. 2010-06 amends the ASC to require disclosure of transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and also require more detailed disclosure about the activity within Level 3 fair value measurements. The changes to the ASC as a result of this update are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 (January 1, 2010 for the Company), except for the requirements related to Level 3 disclosures, which are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 (January 1, 2011 for the Company). This guidance requires new disclosures only, and has had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events: Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, which amends FASB ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events. The update provides that SEC filers, as defined in ASU 2010-09, are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. The update also requires SEC filers to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued rather than the date the financial statements are available to be issued. The Company adopted ASU 2010-09 upon issuance. The adoption of this ASU update has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Leasehold Improvements In Progress, net

The lessee’s interest in the improvements is not a direct ownership interest but rather it is an intangible right to use and benefit from the improvements during the term of the lease. The leasehold improvements are armortized over the lease term.

In May 2009, the Joint Venture entered into a lease agreement with Ruili Group Co., Ltd. for the lease of a manufacturing plant. The lease term is from June 2009 to May 2017. .

In August 2009, SIH entered into a lease agreement with MGR for the lease of an office with a five-year lease term.

Global financial conditions, involving a worldwide macroeconomic decline and weak global auto market, caused the demand for our products to decline during the second quarter of 2009. However, the Chinese government’s 4 trillion RMB stimulus package, which positively affected the development of China’s automobile industry, materially benefited our results in second quarter of 2010. Further, we promoted our integrated system and modular supplies of air brake systems to our OEM customers and we increasingly focused on the light duty, bus and agricultural vehicle market in 2010. As a result of these positive factors, our sales to the Chinese OEM market increased by $17.1 million or 121.3%, to $31.2 million for the second quarter of 2010, compared to $14.1 million for the same period of 2009.

We achieved total revenue of $6.7 million in Chinese aftermarket sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010, a slight increase compared to $6.4 million for the first quarter of 2010. The increased number of new vehicle sales in China and the expiration of OEM warranties helped drive the increase in our aftermarket business. Sales of our new model products, applicable to both OEM and aftermarket, also grew during the first half of 2010. We will continue with our strategies to further optimize our sales network, to help further penetrate into new markets. Also, we will continue to focus on investing in new product development for both the OEM market and the aftermarket, as a means to increase our sales.

The global financial crisis has negatively affected our international customers and caused many world currencies to depreciate against the US dollar, while the lack of confidence in the growth of the world macro-economy caused our customers to decrease their inventories in order to lower their risk in the second quarter of 2009. With the recovery of global economy and customers' confidence in the growth of economy in 2010, our export sales increased by $3.6 million or 42.9%, to $12.0 million for the second quarter of 2010, as compared to $8.4 million for the same period of 2009.
 
COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT
 
Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $36,419,878 an increase of $15,101,179 or 70.8% from $21,318,699 for the same period last year. Our gross profit increased by 59.6% from $ 8,421,513 for the second quarter of 2009 to $13,477,351 for the second quarter of 2010.
 
Gross margin decreased to 27.0% from 28.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared with 2009. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the increased costs of primary raw materials and payroll. We focused on increasing management efficiency, improving the technologies of our products, and improving our product portfolio to offset our gross profit margin decrease. We believe that our continued expansion to the higher-profit new valve products will also help us to maintain or increase our gross profit margins.
 
SELLING AND DISTRIBUTION EXPENSES

Selling and distribution expenses were $2,843,380 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $2,060,718 for the same period of 2009, an increase of $782,662 or 38.0%.

The increase was mainly due to the increased transportation expense and accrued warranty expenses as a result of increased sales. As a percentage of sales revenue, selling expenses decreased to 5.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to 6.9% for the same period in 2009.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses were $2,803,915 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $1,481,757 for the same period of 2009, an increase of $1,322,158 or 89.2%. The increase was mainly due to increased professional expenses and provisions for doubtful accounts. Because of the impact of the U.S. financial crisis and weakening international macroeconomic factors, the Company extended the payment term for accounts receivable for our international customers. As a percentage of sales revenue, general and administrative expenses increased to 5.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to 5.0% for the same period in 2009.

The Company will continue to invest in new product development, particularly in upgrading traditional valve products and in developing electronically controlled products.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $956,043 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared with that of $746,805 for the same period of 2009, an increase of $209,238. The Company will continue to invest in new product development, particularly in upgrading traditional valve products and in developing electronically controlled products.
 
FINANCIAL EXPENSE

Management is studying alternative methods for managing its risks associated with currency translation, such as the diversification of currencies used in export sales.
 
OTHER INCOME
 
Other income was $168,565 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $176,244 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $7,679. The decrease was mainly due to more subsidies received from local governments for the three months ended June 30, 2009. These subsidies were provided to the Company as economic incentives to secure business commitments and no repayment by the Company is required.

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARIES
 
Non-controlling interest in subsidiaries represents a 10% non-controlling interest in the Chinese located Joint Venture and 40% non-controlling interest in the Hong Kong located Joint Venture, in each case held by our Joint Venture Partners. Non-controlling interest in subsidiaries amounted to $548,868 and $332,972 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO STOCKHOLDERS
 
The net income attributable to stockholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 increased by $2,388,481, to $5,385,228 from $2,996,747 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 due to the factors discussed above. Earnings per share (“EPS”), both basic and diluted, for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, were $0.28 and $0.16 per share, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Capital Resources

OPERATING - Net cash used in operating activities was $11,749,543 for three months ended June 30, 2010 compared with $5,392,361 of net cash provided in operating activities in the same period in 2009, a decrease of $17,141,904, primarily due to the increased cash outflow resulted by changes in accounts receivable, notes receivable, inventory and prepayments. Most accounts receivable of our OEM customers were converted into notes receivable during the three months ended June 30, 2010. Those notes mature within one to six months and may be transferred to our material suppliers as a payment at anytime. We therefore do not believe that the notes receivable decrease our current liquidity.

At June 30, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7,975,715, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $10,255,259 at December 31, 2009. The Company had working capital of $91,410,190 at June 30, 2010, as compared to working capital of $76,130,322 at December 31, 2009, reflecting current ratios of 5.01:1 and 5.06:1, respectively.

INVESTING - The Company expended more cash for investing activities in the second quarter of 2010 than in the second quarter of 2009. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company expended net cash of $384,234 in investing activities. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company utilized $3,447,536 in investing activities for acquisition of property and equipment to support the growth of the business.

FINANCING - During the second quarter ended June 30, 2010, the Company received aggregate bank loans in the amount of $4,483,578 under its credit facilities. The Company had no borrowings under its credit facilities during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Management of the Company has taken a number of steps to restructure its customer base and phase out accounts which had failed to make prompt payments. The Company also placed more emphasis on collection of accounts receivable from our customers. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company continued developing higher profit margin new products, and adopting steps for further cost saving such as improving material utilization rate. Meanwhile, the Company maintains good relationships with local banks. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flow generated from operations and our bank lines of credit will be sufficient to finance our working capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

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

Assets and liabilities of our operating subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, their equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rate and their income and expenses items are translated using the average rate for the period. Any resulting exchange differences are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. The Company is adopting such steps as the diversification of currencies used in export sales, and the negotiation of export contracts with fixed exchange rates.

 
22

 

As the Company’s historical debt obligations are primarily short-term in nature, with fixed interest rates, the Company does not have any risk from an increase in market interest rates. However, to the extent that the Company arranges new borrowings in the future, an increase in market interest rate would cause a commensurate increase in the interest expense related to such borrowings.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET AGREEMENTS

At June 30, 2010, we did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures or have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.

Global financial conditions, involving a worldwide macroeconomic decline and weak global auto market, caused the demand for our products to decline during the first half year of 2009. However, the Chinese government’s 4 trillion RMB stimulus package, which positively affected the development of China’s automobile industry, materially benefited our results in the first half year of 2010. Further, we promoted our integrated system and modular supplies of air brake systems to our OEM customers and we increasingly focused on the light duty, bus and agricultural vehicle market in 2010. As a result of these positive factors, our sales to the Chinese OEM market increased by $27.1 million to $50.4 million for the first half year of 2010, compared to $23.3 million for the same period of 2009.

 
23

 
 
We achieved total revenue of $13.1 million in Chinese aftermarket sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010, a slight decrease compared to $13.7 million for the same period of 2009. The increased number of new vehicle sales in China and the expiration of OEM warranties helped drive the increase in our aftermarket business. Sales of our new model products, applicable to both OEM and aftermarket, also grew during the first half of 2010. We will continue with our strategies to further optimize our sales network, to help further penetrate into new markets. Also, we will continue to focus on investing in new product development for both the OEM market and the aftermarket, as a means to increase our sales.
 
The global financial crisis has negatively affected our international customers and caused many world currencies to depreciate against the US dollar, while the lack of confidence in the growth of the world macro-economy caused our customers to decrease their inventories in order to lower their risk in the first half year of 2009. With the recovery of global economy and customers' confidence in the growth of economy in 2010, our export sales increased by $7.5 million or 57.7%, to $20.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $13.0 million for the same period of 2009.
 
COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT
 
For the six months ended June 30, 20 10 , cost of sales was $60,874,960, an increase of $24,825,336, or 68.9% from $36,049,624 for the same period last year. Our g ross profit in creased by 6 6.0 % f rom $ 13,934,326   for the six months ended June 30, 200 9 to $ 23,127,323   for the six months ended June 30, 20 10 .
 
Gross margin decreased by 0.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, to 27.5% from 27.9% for the same period of 2009. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the increased costs of  primary raw materials and payroll. We focused on increasing management efficiency, improving the technologies of our products, and improving our product portfolio to offset our gross profit margin decrease. We believe that our continued expansion to the higher-profit new valve products will also help us to maintain or increase our gross profit margins.
 
SELLING AND DISTRIBUTION EXPENSES

Selling and distribution expenses were $4,827,404 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $3,378,452 for the same period of 2009, an increase of $1,448,952 or 42.9%.

The increase was mainly due to the increased transportation expense and accrued warranty expenses as a result of increased sales. As a percentage of sales revenue, selling expenses decreased to 5.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to 6.8% for the same period in 2009.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses were $5,090,776 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $3,508,055 for the same period of 2009, an increase of $1,582,721or 45.1%.

The increase was mainly due to increased welfare costs for business expansion and provisions for doubtful accounts. Because of the impact of the U.S. financial crisis and weakening international macroeconomic factors, the Company extended the payment term for accounts receivable for our international customers. As a percentage of sales revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 6.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to 7.0% for the same period in 2009.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, research and development expense was $3,059,582, as compared to $1,557,758 for the same period of 2009, an increase of $1,501,824. The Company will continue to invest in new product development, particularly in upgrading traditional valve products and in developing electronically controlled products.
 
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $ 1,811,315 for the six months ended June 30, 20 10 , compared with that of $ 1,476, 238   for the same period of 200 9 , an increase of $ 335,077 . The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to the purchase of production equipment .
 
FINANCIAL EXPENSE
 
Financial expense mainly consists of interest expense and exchange loss. The financial expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased by $307,728 to $345,819 from $38,091 for the same period of 2009, which was mainly attributed to fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB. Management is studying alternative methods for managing its risks associated with currency translation, such as the diversification of currencies used in export sales.
 
OTHER INCOME
 
Other income was $253,065 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $215,461 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $37,604. The increase was mainly due to an increase in sales of raw material scraps for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
 
INCOME TAX
 
The Joint Venture is registered in the PRC, and is therefore subject to state and local income taxes within the PRC at the applicable tax rate on the taxable income as reported in the PRC statutory financial The Joint Venture is registered in the PRC, and is therefore subject to state and local income taxes within the PRC at the applicable tax rate on taxable income as reported in the PRC statutory financial statements in accordance with relevant income tax laws. According to applicable tax laws regarding Sino-Foreign Joint Ventures, the Joint Venture was exempt from income taxes in the PRC for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Thereafter, the Joint Venture was entitled to a 50% income tax deduction for each of the three years ended December 31, 2008. Thus, the Joint Venture was exempted from PRC income tax in both fiscal 2004 and 2005, and entitled to a tax concession of 50% of the applicable income tax rate of 26.4% for the two years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007. With the new PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, effective on 1st January 2008, China’s enterprises are generally subject to a PRC income tax rate of 25% and the Joint Venture was entitled to a tax concession of 50% of the applicable income tax rate of 25% for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The Company increased its investment in the Joint Venture as a result of its financing in December, 2006. In accordance with the Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China on Foreign-invested Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises, the Joint Venture was eligible for additional preferential tax treatment for the years 2007 and 2008. In those years, the Joint Venture was entitled to an income tax exemption on all pre-tax income generated by the Company above its pre-tax income generated in the fiscal year 2006. In 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Joint Venture will enjoy a 50% exemption from the applicable income tax rate of 25% on any pre-tax income above its 2006 pre-tax income. The above taxation exemption was superseded, because the Joint Venture has been awarded the Chinese government's "High-Tech Enterprise" designation. The High-Tech Enterprise certificate is valid for three years and provides for a reduced tax rate of 15% for years 2009 through 2011. So, the effective income tax rate will be 15% for years 2009 through 2011.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Joint Venture received an income tax benefit of $930,699 and $0 in accordance with PRC preferential income tax policy regarding the purchase of domestically manufactured equipment, which is subject to assessment and approval from the local state tax bureau.
