China Carbon Graphite Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For The Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Business
China Carbon Graphite Group, Inc. (the “Company”, “us”, “we”, “our”), through its subsidiaries, is engaged in the manufacture of graphite-based products in the People’s Republic of China. Our products are used in the manufacturing process for other products, particularly non-ferrous metals and steel, and are incorporated in various types of products or processes, such as atomic reactors. We currently manufacture and sell primarily the following types of graphite products:
▪
|
fine grain graphite; and
|
China Carbon Graphite Group, Inc. (the “Company”), is a Nevada corporation, incorporated on February 13, 2003 under the name Achievers Magazine Inc. In connection with the reverse acquisition transaction described below, the Company’s corporate name was changed to China Carbon Graphite Group, Inc. on January 30, 2008.
On December 17, 2007, the Company completed a share exchange pursuant to a share exchange agreement, dated as of December 14, 2007, with Sincere Investment (PTC), Ltd. (“Sincere”), a British Virgin Islands corporation, which is the sole stockholder of Talent International Investment Limited (“Talent”), a British Virgin Islands corporation, which is the sole stockholder of Xinghe Yongle Carbon Co., Ltd. (“Yongle”), a company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, the Company, then known as Achievers Magazine, Inc., issued 9,388,172 shares of common stock to Sincere in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Talent, and Talent became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. From and after December 17, 2007, the Company’s sole business became the business of Talent, its subsidiaries and its affiliated variable interest entities.
Talent owns 100% of the stock of Yongle, which is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise under the laws of the PRC. Yongle is a party to a series of contractual arrangements with Xinghe Xingyong Carbon Co., Ltd. (“Xingyong”), a corporation organized under the laws of the PRC. Xingyong’s sole stockholder was, at the time of the transaction, the Company’s chief executive officer. These agreements give the Company the ability to operate and manage the business of Xingyong and to derive the profit (or sustain the loss) from Xingyong’s business. As a result, the operations of Xingyong are consolidated with those of the Company for financial reporting purposes. The relationship among the above companies is as follows:
Stock distribution
On January 22, 2008, the Company effected a 1.6-for-one stock distribution whereby each share of common stock became converted into 1.6 shares of common stock. All references to share and per share information in these financial statements reflect this stock distribution.
2. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its condensed consolidated financial position and the results of its operations for the interim period presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report for the year ended December 31, 2010. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements. The results of the nine-months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for China Carbon Graphite Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries and variable interest entity, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”)for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.
The Company maintains its books and accounting records in Renminbi (“RMB”), and its reporting currency is United States dollars.
The financial statements have been prepared in order to present the financial position and results of operations of the Company, its subsidiaries and Xingyong, which is an affiliated company whose financial condition is consolidated with the Company pursuant to Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 810-10, formerly known as FIN 46R, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of estimates
- The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported periods.
Significant estimates included values and lives assigned to acquired property, equipment and intangible assets, reserves for customer returns and allowances, uncollectible accounts receivable, slow moving, obsolete and/or damaged inventory and stock warrant valuation. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Basis of consolidation
- The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of China Carbon and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation. Results of acquired subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company and are no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Variable interest entity -
The Company has adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46R "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46R") (ASC 810), an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. FIN 46R (ASC 810) requires a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE's residual returns. VIEs are those entities in which the Company, through contractual arrangements, bears the risks of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entities, and therefore the company is the primary beneficiary of these entities. The results of subsidiaries or variable interest entities acquired during the year are included in the consolidated income statements from the effective date of acquisition.
Subsequent accounting for the assets, liabilities, and non-controlling interest of a consolidated variable interest entity are accounted for as if the entity were consolidated based on voting interests and the usual accounting rules for which the VIE operates are applied as they would to a consolidated subsidiary as follows: 1) carrying amounts of the VIE are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company as the primary beneficiary (referred as "Primary Beneficiary" or "PB"); 2) inter-company transactions and balances, such as revenues and costs, receivables and payables between or among the Primary Beneficiary and the VIE(s) are eliminated in their entirety.
The Company initially measures the assets, liabilities, and non-controlling interests of the VIEs at their fair values at the date of the acquisitions.
Cash and cash equivalents -
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity period of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value. Most of the Company’s cash is held in bank accounts in the PRC and is not protected by FDIC insurance or any other similar insurance. The Company’s bank account in the United States is protected by FDIC insurance.
Restricted cash -
Restricted cash represents amounts held by a bank as security for bank acceptance notes and therefore is subject to withdrawal restrictions. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, these amounts totaled $14,617,100 and $0, respectively. The restricted cash is expected to be released within the next twelve months after bank notes matured.
Accounts receivable -
Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management also periodically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the allowance when it is considered necessary.
Inventory -
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. Market value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to complete the sale. The Company periodically reviews historical sales activity to determine excess, slow moving items and potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand. The Company provides inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand.
As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company did not record an allowance for obsolete inventories, nor have there been any write-offs.
The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchases, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The costs of conversion of inventories include fixed and variable production overhead, taking into account the stage of completion.
Property and equipment
- Property and equipment is stated at the historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for both financial and income tax reporting purposes as follows:
Buildings
|
25 - 40 years
|
Machinery and equipment
|
10 - 20 years
|
Motor vehicles
|
5 years
|
Expenditures for renewals and betterments were capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are normally charged to the statement of operations in the year in which they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the asset.
Upon sale or disposal of an asset, the historical cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of such asset were removed from their respective accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the statements of income.
The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. Based on this assessment there was no impairment recorded during the nine months ended at September 30, 2011 and 2010.
Construction in progress
- Construction in progress represents the costs incurred in connection with the construction of buildings or additions to the Company’s plant facilities. No depreciation is provided for construction in progress until such time as the assets are completed and placed into service. The Company has not capitalized any interest expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.
Land use rights
- There is no private ownership of land in the PRC. The Company has acquired land use rights to a total of 386,853 square meters. The land use rights have terms of 50 years, with the land use right relating to 130,220 square meters expiring in 2052 and the land use right with respect to 256,633 square meters expiring in 2053. The Company evaluates the carrying value of intangible assets during the fourth quarter of each year and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the intangible asset below its carrying amount. There were no impairments recorded during the nine months ended at September 30, 2011 and 2010.
Stock-based compensation
- Stock-based compensation includes 1) common stock awards granted to employees and directors for services, and are accounted for under FASB ASC 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation”, and 2) common stock awards granted to consultants which are accounted for under FASB ASC 505-50 “Equity – Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”.
All grants of common stock awards and stock options to employees and directors are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values. The Company has elected to recognize compensation expense using the straight-line method for all common stock awards and stock options granted with service conditions that have a graded vesting schedule, with a corresponding charge to additional paid-in capital.
Common stock awards are granted to directors for services provided. The vested portions of common stock awards granted but not yet issued are recorded in Common Stock to be issued until issuance.
Common stock awards issued to consultants represent common stock granted to non-employees in exchange for services at fair value. The measurement dates for such awards are set at dates that the contracts are entered into as the awards are non-forfeitable and vest immediately. The measurement date fair value is then recognized over the service period as if the Company has paid cash for such service. The Company does not have significant grants to consultants for any of the period presented.
The Company estimates fair value of common stock awards based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
Foreign currency translation -
The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The Company uses the Chinese Renminbi, "RMB,” as its functional currency. The results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rates at the balance sheet dates, and equity is translated at the historical exchange rates. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding accounts on the balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statements 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.
Assets and liabilities were translated at 6.39 RMB and 6.68 RMB to $1.00 at September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were 6.49 RMB and 6.80 RMB to $1.00. Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the period; therefore, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Revenue recognition
- Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition of Financial Statements, formerly known as Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, which states that revenue should be recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) goods are delivered; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company believes that these criteria are satisfied when the goods are shipped pursuant to a purchase order. The Company allows its customers to return products only if its products are later determined by the Company to be ineffective. Based on the Company’s historical experience, product returns have been insignificant throughout all of its product lines. Therefore, the Company does not estimate deductions or allowance for sales returns. Sales returns are taken against revenue when products are returned from customers. Sales are presented net of any discounts given to customers.
Interest income is recognized when earned.
Advertising costs
- The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. There was no advertising expense for the nine months ended at September 30, 2011 and 2010.
Cost of goods sold
- Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the costs of the raw materials, freight charges, direct labor, depreciation of plant and machinery, warehousing cost and overhead associated with the manufacturing process and commission expenses.
Shipping and handling costs
- The Company follows ASC 605-45, Handling Costs, Shipping Costs, formerly known as Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs. The Company does not charge its customers for shipping and handling. The Company classifies shipping and handling costs as part of its selling expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, shipping and handling costs were $51,223 and $50,034, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, shipping and handling costs were $158,398 and $95,675, respectively.
Segment reporting
- ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, formerly known as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No 131, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. Under this model, segment reporting is consistent with the manner that the Company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.
The Company only sells carbon graphite products and sells only to Chinese distributors and end users and is in only one business segment.
Taxation -
Taxation on profits earned in the PRC has been calculated on the estimated assessable profits for the year at the rates of taxation prevailing in the PRC where the Company operates after taking into effect the benefits from any special tax credits or “tax holidays” allowed in the county of operations.
The Company does not accrue United States income tax since it has no operation in the United States. Its operating subsidiaries are organized and located in the PRC and do not conduct any business in the United States.
In 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes, formerly known as FIN 48, which clarifies the application of SFAS 109 by defining a criterion that an individual income tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and provides guidance on measurement, recognition, classification, accounting for interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. In accordance with the transition provisions, the Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007.
The Company recognizes that virtually all tax positions in the PRC are not free of some degree of uncertainty due to tax law and policy changes by the state. The Company cannot reasonably quantify political risk factors and thus must depend on guidance issued by current government officials.
Based on all known facts and circumstances and current tax law, the Company believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2011 is not material to its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company also believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2011, if recognized, would not have a material effect on its effective tax rate. The Company further believes that there are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible, based on current Chinese tax law and policy, that the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease over the next twelve months producing, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Enterprise income tax
- Effective January 1, 2008, the new income tax law sets unified income tax rate for domestic and foreign companies at 25% except a 15% enterprise income tax rate for qualified high technology and science enterprises. In accordance with this new income tax law, low preferential tax rate in accordance with both the tax laws and administrative regulations prior to the promulgation of this Law shall gradually transit to the new tax rate within five years after the implementation of this law.
The Company has been recognized as a high technology and science company by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the PRC. And therefore, the Company is subject to a 15% enterprise income tax. In addition, Xing He District Local Tax Authority in the Nei Mongol province granted to the Company a tax holiday from 100% of enterprises income tax for 10 years from 2008 through 2018. Afterwards, based on the present tax law and the Company’s status as a high technology and science company, the Company will be subject to a corporation income tax rate of 15% effective in 2019.
The enterprise income tax is calculated on the basis of the statutory profit as defined in the PRC tax laws. This statutory profit computed differently from the Company’s net income under U.S. GAAP.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Value added tax
- The Provisional Regulations of the PRC Concerning Value Added Tax promulgated by the State Council came into effect on January 1, 1994. Under these regulations and the Implementing Rules of the Provisional Regulations of the PRC Concerning Value Added Tax, value added tax (“VAT”) is imposed on goods sold in or imported into the PRC and on processing, repair and replacement services provided within the PRC.
VAT payable in the PRC is charged on an aggregated basis at a rate of 13% or 17% (depending on the type of goods involved) on the full price collected for the goods sold or, in the case of taxable services provided, at a rate of 17% on the charges for the taxable services provided, but excluding, in respect of both goods and services, any amount paid in respect of VAT included in the price or charges, and less any deductible value added tax already paid by the taxpayer on purchases of goods and services in the same financial year. VAT payable (recoverable), which is included in other payables, was $183,647 and $(539,869) as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Contingent liabilities and contingent assets -
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognized because it is not probable that the Company will incur a liability or obligations as a result. A contingent liability, which might occur but is not probable, is not recorded but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The Company will recognize a liability or obligation when it is probable that the Company will incur it.
A contingent asset is an asset, which could possibly arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain events not wholly within the control of the Company. Contingent assets are not recorded but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when it is likely that the Company will recognize an economic benefit. When the benefit is virtually certain, the asset is recognized.
Retirement benefit costs
- According to PRC regulations on pensions, the Company contributes to a defined contribution retirement program organized by the municipal government in the province in which the Company was registered and all qualified employees are eligible to participate in the program. Contributions to the program are calculated at 23.5% of the employees’ salaries above a fixed threshold amount and the employees contribute 2% to 8% while the Company contributes the remaining 15.5% to 21.5%. The Company has no other material obligation for the payment of retirement benefits beyond the annual contributions under this program.
In addition, the Company is required by Chinese laws to cover employees in China with various types of social insurance. The Company believes that it is in material compliance with the relevant PRC laws.
Fair value of financial instruments
- On January 1, 2008, the Company began recording financial assets and liabilities subject to recurring fair value measurement at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. On January 1, 2009 the Company began recording non-recurring financial as well as all non-financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurement under the same principles. These fair value principles prioritize valuation inputs across three broad levels. 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 carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, advance to suppliers, other receivables, short-term bank loans, notes payable, accounts payable, advance from customers, other payables approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
On June 1, 2010, 100,000 shares of 2009 Warrants changed the exercise price from $2.00 to $1.30 and 100,000 shares of 2009 Warrants changed the exercise price from $3.00 to $1.30.

Expected volatility is based on the annualized daily historical volatility over a period of one year. The Company believes this method produces an estimate that is representative of the Company’s expectations of future volatility over the expected term of these warrants. The expected life is based on the remaining term of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities according to the remaining term of the warrants.

Earnings per share -
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock consist of the common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt, preferred stock and warrants. The Company has outstanding warrants to purchase 1,229,200 shares of common stock at an exercise price in the range of $1.3- $3.0 per share. The Company uses if-converted method to calculate the dilutive preferred stock and treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive shares issuable upon exercise of warrants.
The following table sets forth the computation of the number of net income per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Comprehensive income
- The Company follows ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income”, formerly known as SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, to recognize the elements of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders' equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. For the Company, comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 included net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Related parties
- Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. Transactions with related parties are disclosed in the financial statements.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance on testing goodwill for impairment. The new guidance provides an entity the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines that this is the case, it is required to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized for that reporting unit (if any). If an entity determines that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2012. We do not anticipate material impacts on our financial statements upon adoption.
In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance on presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. Instead, an entity will be required to present either a continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2012 and will have financial statement presentation changes only. We do not anticipate material impacts on our financial statements upon adoption.
In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance to amend the accounting and disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The new guidance limits the highest-and-best-use measure to nonfinancial assets, permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credit risks to be measured at a net basis, and provides guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts. Additionally, the new guidance expands the disclosures on Level 3 inputs by requiring quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions, as well as description of the valuation processes and the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2012. Other than requiring additional disclosures, we do not anticipate material impacts on our financial statements upon adoption.
4. Concentration of Business and Credit Risk
Most of the Company’s bank accounts are in banks located in the PRC and are not covered by any type of protection similar to that provided by the FDIC on funds held in U.S. banks. The Company’s bank account in the United States is covered by FDIC insurance.
The Company is operating in the PRC, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility of foreign exchange rates between U.S. dollars and the Chinese RMB.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash trade accounts receivables and inventories, the balances of which are stated on the balance sheet. The Company places its cash in banks located in China. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivables is limited due to the Company's large number of diverse customers in different locations in China. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, three customers accounted for 10% or more of sales revenues, representing 32.8%, 25.5%, and 10.2%, respectively of the total sales. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, two customers accounted for 10% or more of sales revenues, representing 25.7% and 23.6%, respectively of the total sales. As of September 30, 2011, there were two customers that constitute 45.1% and 25.7%, respectively of the accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2010, there were two customers that constitute 41.5% and 29.5% respectively of the accounts receivable.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had insurance expense of $81,626 and $75,070, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had insurance expense of $49,185 and $50,260, respectively. Accrual for losses is not recognized until such time a loss has occurred.
5. Income Taxes
Under the Provisional Regulations of The People’s Republic of China Concerning Income Tax on Enterprises promulgated by the PRC, which took effect on January 1, 2008, domestic and foreign companies pay a unified corporate income tax of 25% except a 15% corporation income tax rate for qualified high technology and science enterprises.
The Company has been granted a 100% tax holiday from enterprises income tax from the Xing He District Local Tax Authority for the ten years 2008 through 2018. This tax holiday could be challenged by higher taxing authorities in the PRC, which could result in taxes and penalties owed for those years. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, without the consideration of adjustments on taxable income, the enterprise income tax at the statutory rates would have been approximately $175,113 and $365,265, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, without the consideration of adjustments on taxable income, the enterprise income tax at the statutory rates would have been approximately $534,872 and $401,362, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, without the consideration of adjustments on taxable income, the enterprise income tax at the statutory rates would have been approximately $0.02 and $0.02, earning per basic and diluted shares, respectively.
A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes with amounts determined by the PRC statutory income tax rate to income before income taxes is as follows:
