PART I

ITEM 1 .

Business.

Overview of Our Business

We are engaged in the manufacture of graphite-based products in the PRC. 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:

·	graphite electrodes;

·	fine grain graphite; and

·	high purity graphite.

Based on information we receive about our industry in the course of our business, we believe that we are the largest wholesale supplier of fine grain graphite and high purity graphite in the PRC and one of China’s largest producers and suppliers of graphite products overall. Approximately 40% of our products are sold directly to end users in China, primarily consisting of steel manufacturers. All other sales are made to over 200 distributors located throughout 22 provinces in China. Our distributors then sell our products to end users both in China and in foreign countries, including, among others, Japan, the United States, Spain, England, South Korea and India. In 2011, our revenues and profits improved from 2010 due to an increase in demand for our products, which resulted from improved market conditions, increased sales prices and an increase in our production capacity, as discussed in greater detail below under the heading “Results of Operations” in Item 7.

Our Growth Strategy

In 2012, our primary strategy is to maximize our production capacity, to seek to acquire and vertically integrate a local natural graphite mine, and to continue to improve gross profits by further adjusting our product mix towards higher margin products. Our long-term strategy is to:

·	initiate production and sales of ultra-high graphite electrodes with a diameter of 800 millimeters;

·	increase production capacity of our existing fine grain graphite and high-purity graphite products;

·	vertically integrate raw material providers with the objective of becoming a vertically integrated leader in the Chinese graphite industry;

·	improve our gross profits by continuing to focus on higher margin products such as ultra-high graphite electrodes, fine grain graphite and high purity graphite; and

·	develop isostatic graphite, including solar, nuclear and semiconductor products.

We believe that the profit margin on isostatic graphite products would be significantly higher than the profit margins of our current line of products. There are currently 13 nuclear power plants in the PRC, with 25 more plants currently under construction. Each of China’s 13 operating nuclear power reactors requires at least 10,000 tons of nuclear graphite every year. These power plants currently purchase their nuclear graphite from manufacturers in foreign countries, including Japan, Germany and the United States, which involves greater costs than purchasing from local Chinese companies. We know of only one graphite manufacturer in China that currently produces nuclear graphite that meets the specifications of these power plants. Only graphite rods with a diameter of more than 840 millimeters and a purity of more than 99.9999% may be used in nuclear power reactors. To date, we have produced only samples that meet these standards. The highest level of purity of the graphite that we currently produce has a diameter of 800 millimeters.

In January 2011, we completed the construction of a production plant, whose annual production capacity is 30,000 tons. We finished the installation and shakedown testing of a 4200-ton compressor and 36 annular kilns in this facility in 2011. The new facility began production in November 2011. The new plant is used to manufacture a new product, ultra-high graphite electrodes with a diameter ranging from 600 to 800 millimeters, along with existing fine grain and high-purity graphite products. The industrial applications of the products to be manufactured in the new facility include aerospace, defense, automotive and clean tech end products, which currently carries the greatest demand of all forms of graphite. We believe that this expansion will make us China’s first domestic producer of 800 millimeter diameter ultra-high electrodes and will further strengthen the Company’s leading position in China’s fine grain graphite market. With the addition of our new facility, the Company will have an annual production capacity of 60,000 tons. Prior to the completion of our new facility, the Company was operating at 100% production capacity of 30,000 tons annually. At the end of 2011, we were operating at 75% production capacity of 30,000 tons annually.

Some of our expansion plans, including the expansion of our product offerings to include nuclear, solar and semiconductor products and pursuing an acquisition, would likely require us to obtain additional funds from equity or debt markets, or to borrow additional funds from local banks. We currently have no commitments from any financing sources. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise any funds on terms favorable to us, or at all. In the event that we issue shares of equity or convertible securities, holdings of our existing stockholders would be diluted. In addition, there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully manage and integrate the production and sale of new products.

Organizational Structure

We were incorporated in Nevada on February 13, 2003 as Achievers Magazine Inc. On December 17, 2007, we completed a reverse merger with Talent International Investment Limited, or Talent, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on February 1, 2007. Following the reverse merger, our name was changed to China Carbon Graphite Group, Inc.

As a result of the reverse merger, Talent became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Talent wholly owns Yongle, which is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise organized under the laws of the PRC. On December 14, 2007, Yongle executed a series of exclusive contractual agreements with Xingyong, an operating company organized under the laws of the PRC. Xingyong was founded in 1986 as a state-owned company and converted into a private enterprise in 2001.

PRC law currently has limits on foreign ownership of certain companies. To comply with these foreign ownership restrictions, we operate our businesses in the PRC through Xingyong. Xingyong has the licenses and approvals necessary to operate in the PRC. We have contractual agreements with Xingyong and its stockholders pursuant to which we have the ability to substantially influence Xingyong’s daily operations and financial affairs, appoint its senior executives and approve all matters requiring stockholder approval. As a result of our contractual agreements with Xingyong, we are able to control Xingyong. Consequently, we consolidate Xingyong’s financial statements with our financial statements. There are certain risks related to our contractual arrangements with Xingyong, which are discussed below in Item. 1A under the heading “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure.”

Xingyong’s principal stockholder and chief executive officer is Mr. Denyong Jin, our former chief executive officer and General Manager of our China operations. Members of Mr. Jin’s family have control of Sincere Investment (PTC), Ltd. (“Sincere”), which owns approximately 42% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

Pursuant to the contractual agreements between Yongle and Xingyong, Xingyong has agreed to the following:

·	To pay between 80% and 100% of its net income to Yongle as determined annually. In each of 2010 and 2011, Xingyong paid 100% of its net income to Yongle;

·	To obtain Yongle’s written consent prior to entering into any transaction, which may materially affect Xingyong’s assets, obligations, rights or operations;

·	To grant Yongle an exclusive option to purchase all of its capital stock at any time until December 2017; and

·	To pledge all equity held by Xingyong’s stockholders to guarantee Xingyong’s performance under all other related agreements entered into between Yongle and Xingyong.

Organizational Structure Chart

The following chart sets forth our organizational structure:

Industrial Uses of Graphite

Graphite is considered to be the purest form of carbon. We manufacture our graphite products by using a high temperature process whereby the heavy hydrocarbons are broken down into simpler molecules. The resulting product provides us with a pure grade of carbon, which we use to make our products. Graphite is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity and has a high melting temperature of 3,500 degrees Celsius. It is extremely resistant to acid, chemically inert and highly refractory. The utility of graphite is dependent largely upon its type.

There are three principal types of natural graphite, each occurring in different types of ore deposits:

·	Crystalline flake graphite, or flake graphite, occurs as isolated, flat, plate-like particles with hexagonal edges, if unbroken, and when broken, the edges can be irregular or angular.

·	Amorphous graphite occurs as fine particles and is the result of thermal metamorphism of coal, the last stage of coalification, and is sometimes called meta-anthracite. Very fine flake graphite is sometimes called amorphous in the trade.

·	Lump graphite, or vein graphite, occurs in fissure veins or fractures and appears as massive platy intergrowths of fibrous or acicular crystalline aggregates, and is probably hydrothermal in origin.

All grades of graphite, especially high grade amorphous and crystalline graphite that remains suspended in oil are used as lubricants. Graphite has an extraordinarily low co-efficient of friction under most working conditions. This property is invaluable in lubricants. It diminishes friction and tends to keep the moving surface cool. Dry graphite as well as graphite mixed with grease and oil is utilized as a lubricant for heavy and light bearings. Graphite grease is used as a heavy-duty lubricant where high temperatures may tend to remove the grease.

The flake type graphite is found to possess extremely low resistivity to electrical conductance. The electrical resistivity decreases with the increase of flaky particles. The bulk density decreases progressively as the particles become flakier. Because of this property in flake graphite, it is used in the manufacture of carbon electrodes, plates and brushes required in the electrical industry and dry cell batteries. Flake graphite has been replaced to some extent by synthetic, amorphous, crystalline graphite and acetylene black in the manufacture of plates and brushes.

Flake graphite containing 80 to 85% carbon is used for crucible manufacture; graphite containing a carbon content of 93% and above is preferred for the manufacture of lubricants, and graphite containing a carbon content of 40 to 70% is utilized for foundry facings. Natural graphite, refined or otherwise pure, having carbon content not less than 95% is used in the manufacture of carbon rods for dry battery cells.

Currently, artificially prepared graphite has replaced natural graphite to a great extent. Artificial graphite is prepared by heating a mixture of anthracite, high grade coal or petroleum coke, quartz and saw dust at a temperature of 3,000 degrees Celsius, out of contact with air. Graphite carbon is deposited as residue.

Our Products

We currently manufacture and sell the following types of graphite products:

·	graphite electrodes;

·	fine grain graphite; and

·	high purity graphite.

Graphite electrodes are used as electricity-conducting materials within electric arc furnaces for manufacture of steel and non-ferrous metals such as brown alumina, yellow phosphorus, or other metals.

Fine grain graphite blocks are used to make graphite crucibles in various industries and continuous casting dies for non-ferrous metals and spark erosion tools in the automotive industry. Fine grain graphite blocks are also machined to produce piston rings, sealing rings and jigs in the molding industry. In the space industry, fine grain graphite is used in the manufacture of rocket nozzles. Fine grain graphite is widely used in smelting for colored metals and rare-earth metal smelting as well as the manufacture of molds. We hope to penetrate some of these markets as we increase our production capacity and market our products to new customers.

High purity graphite is used in the chemistry industry, semiconductor material and precious metal smelting industry, food industry and nuclear industry. Graphite bricks and rounds of high purity are used as moderators in atomic reactors. In the nuclear field, graphite is a good and convenient material as a moderator but only if the graphite is low in certain neutron absorbing elements notably boron and rare-earth metals and is of consistent quality particularly with regard to density and orientation. High purity graphite is used in, among other things, the metallurgy, mechanical, aviation, electronic, atomic energy, chemical and food industries. We hope to penetrate some of these markets as we increase our production capacity and market our products to new customers.

Our product types are differentiated based upon qualities such as density, thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, thermal expansion and strength. With respect to each of our product types, we sell products that vary in size and purity, depending on the particular specifications requested by our distributors. We regularly customize each of our products by increasing size, density and purity, in accordance with customer demands.

In June 2009, we launched production of newly developed fine grain graphite rods with a length of 3,500 millimeters and a purity level up to 99.99%. Based on informal discussions with others in our industry, we believe that these rods are currently the largest available in China’s graphite market. We also completed building a new plant to manufacture ultra-high graphite electrodes with a diameter ranging from 600 to 800 millimeters in 2011. This new plant has technologically advanced equipment capable of producing ultra-high electrodes with a diameter as large as 800 millimeters and rounded fine grain electrodes with a diameter as large as 600 millimeters. Following completion of this expansion, we believe we will be China’s first domestic producer of 800 millimeter diameter ultra-high graphite electrodes. Such expansion further strengthened our position in China’s graphite market.

Our Manufacturing Facilities

We currently manufacture all of our products at our facilities located in Inner Mongolia. In 2009, the Company had the capacity to produce 15,000 tons of materials annually. In 2010, our annual production capacity was doubled to 30,000 tons. In 2011, the Company completed building a new facility to manufacture ultra-high graphite electrodes with a diameter ranging from 600 to 800 millimeters. Our new facility began operating in November 2011 with a production capacity of 30,000 tons annually. At the end of 2011, the Company was operating at 75% production capacity of 30,000 tons annually.

The manufacturing process of each of our products generally involves various steps, including calcining, which is a thermal treatment process applied to raw materials, crushing raw materials into smaller particles, screening, mixing, forming, dipping, baking graphitization and machining. The technology and procedures used in this process vary among the different products that we manufacture. We have developed proprietary technology to support the forming stage of production and, as discussed below under the heading “Intellectual Property,” we have been granted a patent by the State Intellectual Property Office of the PRC to protect our rights to this technology.

Because we employ advanced methods of quality control and environmental management, we have been able to obtain ISO90001 certification and ISO14000 certification for all of our products.

Our Raw Materials and Suppliers

The principal raw materials that we use are coal asphalt, asphalt coke, metallurgy coke, needle coke, metallurgy coke power, quartzose sand, coal, petroleum coke and calcined coke, all of which are carbon rich and used in manufacturing graphite with a high degree of density, strength and purity. We purchase all of our raw materials from domestic Chinese suppliers. We do not have any long-term contracts with our suppliers. As a result, the cost of our raw materials is not fixed. Recently, raw material prices have increased, and we expect this trend to continue. If we are not able to pass on increased costs to our customers, we may be unable to maintain our profit margins. In times of decreasing prices, we may have to sell our products at prices which are lower than the prices at which we purchased our raw materials. Furthermore, PRC regulations grant broad powers to the government to adjust prices of raw materials and manufactured products. Although the government has not imposed price controls on our raw materials or our products, it is possible that price controls may be implemented in the future, thereby affecting our results of operations and financial condition.

In 2011, 88% of our raw materials were provided by the following five suppliers (dollars in thousands):

Name	Cost of Supplies		Percentage of Total
Tianjin Longhui Graphite Products Company	$	24,654		45	%
Shanxi Wenshuitai Chemical Inc.	$	6,331		12	%
China Jinxi Petrochemical Inc.	$	5,852		11	%
Shanghai Hongte Chemical Inc.	$	5,632		10	%
Neimenggu Wumeng Electricity Bureau	$	5,487		10	%

In 2010, 90% of our raw materials were provided by the following four suppliers (dollars in thousands):

Name	Cost of Supplies		Percentage of Total Cost of Supplies
Tianjin Longhui Graphite Products Company	$	6,969		28	%
China Jinxi Petrochemical Inc.	$	5,984		24	%
Shanxi Wenshuitai Chemical Inc.	$	5,389		21	%
Shanghai Hongte Chemical Inc.	$	4,321		17	%

As seen in the table above, substantially all of our supplies in 2011 were purchased from five suppliers. However, because of the diversity of available sources of these raw materials, we believe that our raw materials are currently in adequate supply and will continue to be so in the future.

Our Customers

Our customers include over 200 distributors located throughout 22 provinces in China as well as end users located in China. Our distributors sold our products to end users both in China and in foreign countries, including, among others, Japan, the United States, Spain, England, South Korea and India. These end users consist of companies in various industries, including automobile, defense, molding, machinery and tool manufacturers. Our direct sales consist of sales of our graphite electrodes to steel manufacturers and metallurgy companies located in China and sales of our fine grain graphite and high purity graphite products to molding companies located in China.

We generally do not enter into long-term contracts with our distributors or customers. Our distributors and customers generally purchase our products pursuant to purchase orders. We currently have one long-term agreement with one of our distributors; however, the volume of sales from such distributor is not material to our business.

Our distributors and customers generally purchase on credit, depending on their credit history and volume of purchases from us. During 2010, as a result of the global economic recovery and the expansion of our production capacity, we experienced an increased demand for our products and increased sales. This trend continued in 2011 due to the continued recovery of the global economy. This led to an increase in our net accounts receivable from $6.2 million at December 31, 2010 to $13.4 million at December 31, 2011.

Sales to two of our distributors in 2011 and four of our distributors in 2010 accounted for 10% or more of our net sales in 2011 as follows (dollars in thousands):

	2011					2010
Name	Sales		Percent of Net Sales			Sales		Percent of Net Sales
Changzhou Zhenrun Carbon Products Sales Co., Ltd.	$	19,456		32	%	$	7,412		24	%
He Ming Advanced Materials, Ltd.	$	-		-	%	$	4,941		16	%
Chang Sheyuan	$	-		-	%	$	3,706		12	%
Tianjin Shunhai Carbon Technology Inc.	$	14,521		24	%	$	3,088		10	%

As seen in the table above, approximately 56% of our sales in 2011 were from two of our distributors. We have not entered into long-term agreements with these distributors. Consequently, if orders from these distributors decrease, our business could be harmed.

Our Sales and Marketing Efforts

We have not spent a significant amount of capital on advertising. Our sales force consists of 11 people located at our Inner Mongolia facility who market our products primarily to distributors, and, to a lesser extent, end users, in the PRC. Our marketing effort is oriented toward working with distributors, who purchase our products and then sell them to end users in China and in foreign countries, including Japan, the United States, Spain, England, South Korea and India.

Research and Development

We have an informal agreement with Hunan University, pursuant to which the University provides us with basic research and we perform experiments based upon their research. We also have a similar informal relationship with Tsinghua University. The research that these universities are currently engaged in focuses on the development of high purity graphite with a diameter of 840 millimeters. A diameter of more than 840 millimeters and a purity of at least 99.9999% are threshold requirements for use in nuclear power reactors. The highest level of purity of the graphite that we currently produce has a diameter of 800 millimeters. Our research and development expenses have not been significant to date.

Intellectual Property

We hold one Chinese patent, Patent No IL: 2004 1 0044348.7, which relates to the molding process for high density, high strength and wear-resistant graphite material. The patent will expire in 2024. However, this patent affords us only limited protection, and any actions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. Most of our intellectual and proprietary property consists of trade secrets relating to the design and manufacture of graphite products and customer lists that are accessible only by key executives and accounting personnel. Effective intellectual property protection may not be available in China and other countries in which our products are sold. Intellectual property rights in China are still developing, and there are uncertainties involved in the protection and the enforcement of such rights.

Competition and Competitive Advantages

We compete with a number of domestic and international companies that manufacture graphite products. Because of the nature of the products that we sell, we believe that the reputation of the manufacturer and the quality of the product may be as important as price.

In addition to a number of domestic companies, there are three major international companies that offer competing products. They are SGL Group, Toyo Tanso and Poco Graphite. SGL Group is considered one of the world’s leading manufacturers of carbon-based products. In 1974, Toyo Tanso became the first company in Japan to develop isotropic graphite, significantly expanding the possibilities of carbon use. Its products are now widely used in a variety of cutting edge technology fields, including the semi-conductor and aerospace industries. Poco Graphite’s products are used in semiconductor and general industrial products, biomedical products, glass products and in the electrical discharge machining (EDM) markets.

Government Regulations

Approvals for New Products

Before we develop certain new products, we must obtain a variety of approvals from local and municipal governments in the PRC. Our products may also be required to comply with the regulations of foreign countries into which they are ultimately sold. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain all required licenses, permits, or approvals from these government authorities. If we fail to obtain all required licenses, permits or approvals, we may be unable to expand our operations.

Environmental Regulations

Xingyong, which manufactures our products, is subject to Chinese and regional environmental laws and regulations. Our refineries and related water treatment systems are built to meet government requirements, and we received a manufacturing license from the government department of environmental protection. Xingyong has passed environmental impact assessments by local environmental authorities. We believe that we and Xingyong are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable environmental protection laws and regulations.

Regulations Governing Electrical Equipment

Our products are subject to regulations pertaining to electrical equipment, which may materially adversely affect our business. These regulations regulate the design, components and operation of our products. New regulations and changes to current regulations are always possible and, in some jurisdictions, regulations may be introduced with little or no time to bring related products into compliance with these regulations. Our failure to comply with these regulations may restrict our ability to sell our products in the PRC. In addition, these regulations may increase the cost of supplying our products by forcing us to redesign existing products or to use more expensive designs or components. Consequently, we may experience unexpected disruptions in our ability to supply customers with products, or we may incur unexpected costs or operational complexities to bring our products into compliance. This may have an adverse effect on our revenues, gross profit margins and results of operations and increase the volatility of our financial results.

Circular 106 Compliance and Approval

The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) issued an official notice known as “Circular 106,” which requires the owners of any Chinese company to obtain SAFE’s approval before establishing any offshore holding company structure to facilitate foreign financing or subsequent acquisitions in China. We believe that our wholly-owned subsidiary Talent was not required to obtain SAFE’s approval to establish its offshore company Yongle as a “special purpose vehicle” for capital raising activities on behalf of Xingyong because the owners of Xingyong are not stockholders of Talent, and Talent’s sole stockholder is not a resident of the PRC.

Restrictions on Exports of Natural Resources

In 2010, the Chinese government decided to implement a number of new restrictions on natural resource industry sectors. As a result, domestic Chinese companies in certain natural resource industries face export restrictions. Such restrictions may limit our ability to export our products in the future, or may increase the expense of our exports, which may impact our business.

Employees

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had 560 full-time employees, of whom 473 were in manufacturing, 36 were technical employees who were also engaged in research and development, 40 were executive and administrative employees and 11 were sales and marketing employees. We believe that our relationship with our employees is good.

ITEM 1A .

Risk Factors.

From time to time, information provided by us, including but not limited to statements in this report, or other statements made by or on our behalf, may contain “forward-looking” information. Such statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, which may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those anticipated. Set forth below are important factors that could cause our results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf.

Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure

We control Xingyong through a series of contractual arrangements, which may not be as effective in providing control over the entity as direct equity ownership and may be difficult to enforce.

We operate our business in the PRC through our variable interest entity, Xingyong. Xingyong holds the licenses, approvals and assets necessary to operate our business in the PRC. We have no equity ownership interest in Xingyong and rely on contractual arrangements with Xingyong and its shareholders that allow us to substantially control and operate Xingyong. These contractual arrangements may not be as effective as direct equity ownership in providing control over Xingyong because Xingyong or its shareholders could breach these arrangements.

Our contractual arrangements with Xingyong are governed by PRC law. Accordingly, these contracts would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. If Xingyong or its shareholders fail to perform their respective obligations under these contractual arrangements, we may incur substantial costs to enforce such arrangements and rely on legal remedies under PRC law, including seeking specific performance or injunctive relief, and claiming damages.

The legal environment in the PRC is not as developed as in the United States and uncertainties in the Chinese legal system could limit our ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. In the event that we are unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

If the PRC government determines that the contractual arrangements through which we control Xingyong do not comply with applicable laws and regulations, our business may be adversely affected.

Although we believe the contractual arrangements through which we control Xingyong comply with current licensing, registration and regulatory requirements of the PRC, we cannot assure you that the PRC government would agree, or that new and burdensome regulations will not be adopted in the future. If the PRC government determines that our structure or operating arrangements do not comply with applicable law and regulations, it could revoke our business and operating licenses, require us to discontinue or restrict our operations, restrict our right to collect revenues, require us to restructure our operations, impose additional conditions or requirements with which we may not be able to comply, impose restrictions on our business operations or on our customers, or take other regulatory or enforcement actions against us that may be harmful to our business.

Potential conflicts of interest may arise between the Company and Mr. Denyong Jin, the controlling stockholder and chief executive officer of Xingyong, which could adversely affect our business.

Mr. Denyong Jin, General Manager of our China operations, is the controlling stockholder and chief executive officer of Xingyong. The Company has entered into a series of contractual agreements with Xingyong through which we operate our business in China. Because Mr. Jin is a significant employee of the Company and the controlling stockholder and chief executive officer of Xingyong, conflicts of interest may arise due to his relationship with both companies. We cannot assure investors that, when conflicts of interest arise, Mr. Jin will act in the best interests of the Company or that conflicts of interest will be resolved in our favor. In addition, Mr. Jin may breach or cause Xingyong to breach or refuse to renew the existing contractual agreements that allow us to operate our business in China and receive economic remuneration from Xingyong. We rely on Mr. Jin to act in good faith and in the best interests of the Company, and not use his positions for personal gain. If we cannot resolve any conflicts of interest or disputes between us and Mr. Jin, we may have to rely on legal proceedings, which could result in disruption of our business and substantial uncertainty as to the outcome of any such legal proceedings.

Because the payments we receive from Xingyong are subject to annual negotiation, we may not be entitled to receive 100% of Xingyong’s net income in the future.

Pursuant to the business operations agreement between Yongle and Xingyong, Xingyong is obligated to pay between 80% and 100% of its net income to Yongle, subject to annual negotiation. Although Xingyong paid 100% of its net income to Yongle in 2010 and 2011, there is no assurance that it will continue to do so in the future. Our profitability would be affected if the percentage of Xingyong’s net income that is payable to us decreases.

Failure to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls may impair our ability to effectively operate our business and result in the deterioration of our financial position.

To manage our business effectively and to continue to generate significant profits, we need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls. These system enhancements and improvements may require significant capital expenditures and management resources. Failure to implement these improvements could impair our ability to manage our business and could result in a further deterioration of our financial position and the results of our operations.

Risks Related to Our Business

If our lenders demand payment when our loans are due, we may have difficulty in making payments, which may impair our ability to continue operating our business.

At December 31, 2011, we had short-term bank loans of approximately $45.5 million. These bank loans, which are secured by liens on our fixed assets and land use rights, are due between August 2012 and January 2013, including approximately $32 million owed to the Construction Bank of China. Historically, we have rolled over our short-term loans when they became due. However, we cannot assure investors that our lenders, including the Construction Bank of China, will not demand repayment when these loans mature. If the lenders demand repayment when due, we may not be able to obtain the necessary funds to pay off these loans, which could result in the imposition of penalties, including a 50% increase in interest rates and a request from the banks for additional security for the loans. Our cash reserves, including restricted cash, which at December 31, 2011 were $12.2 million, are insufficient to pay off our loans when due.

We will require additional financing to implement our expansion plans, which funds may not be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. Without additional funds, we may not be able to maintain or expand our business.

An increase in the cost of raw materials would affect our profitability if we are unable to pass along the cost to our customers.

In times of decreasing prices, we may have to sell our products at prices, which are lower than the prices at which we purchased our raw materials. Furthermore, PRC regulations grant broad powers to the government to adjust the prices of raw materials and manufactured products. Although the government has not imposed price controls on our raw materials or our products, it is possible that price controls may be implemented in the future, thereby affecting our results of operations and financial condition.

As we expand our operations, we may need to establish a more diverse supplier network for our raw materials. The failure to secure a more diverse and reliable supplier network may have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

In 2011, we purchased almost all of our raw materials from a small number of suppliers. As we increase the scale of our production, we may need to establish a more diverse supplier network, while attempting to continue to leverage our purchasing power to obtain favorable pricing and delivery terms. However, in the event that we need to diversify our supplier network, we may not be able to procure a sufficient supply of raw materials at competitive prices, which may have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Furthermore, despite our efforts to control our supply of raw materials and maintain good relationships with our existing suppliers, we could lose one or more of our existing suppliers at any time. The loss of one or more key suppliers could increase our reliance on higher cost or lower quality supplies, which may negatively affect our profitability. Any interruptions to, or decline in, the amount or quality of our raw materials supply may materially disrupt our production and adversely affect our business, financial condition and financial prospects.

Delays in the expansion of our facilities or in building new facilities may affect our costs and results of operations.

As part of our strategy to increase our market share and improve our competitiveness by accessing economies of greater scale, we are expanding, and may in the future further expand, our existing production facilities or build new production facilities. The expansion or construction of a production facility involves various risks. These risks include engineering, construction, regulatory and other significant challenges that may delay or prevent the successful operation of the project or significantly increase our costs. Our ability to successfully complete any expansion or new construction project on time is also subject to financing and other risks. We may be adversely affected because we may not be able to complete any expansion or new construction project on time or within budget or we may be required by market conditions or other factors to delay the initiation of construction or the timetable to complete new projects or expansions. Furthermore, our new or modified facilities may not operate at designed capacity or may cost more to operate than we expect. In addition, we may not be able to sell our additional production at attractive prices or we may not have the cash or be able to acquire financing to implement our growth plans.

We plan to expand our business by acquiring one or more companies. Any such acquisition may disrupt, or otherwise have a negative impact on, our business operations.

We intend to expand our business through acquisitions, with the objective of becoming a vertically integrated leader in the Chinese graphite industry. However, we may not be successful in these efforts. For example, a potential acquisition of Chiyu Carbon, with whom we signed a letter of intent in 2010, is not likely to be consummated in 2012, if at all. Despite our success in completing an acquisition, the negotiations for potential acquisitions may disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and cause us to incur significant expenses.

In the event that we are successful in completing an acquisition, we may have difficulty integrating the acquired company’s personnel and operations with our own. In addition, the key personnel of the acquired business may not be willing to work for us. We cannot predict the effect that any such expansion may have on our core business. In addition to the risks described above, acquisitions are accompanied by a number of inherent risks, including, without limitation, the following:

·	difficulty of integrating acquired products, services or operations;

·	potential disruption of the ongoing businesses and distraction of our management and the management of acquired companies;

·	difficulty of incorporating acquired rights or products into our existing business;

·	difficulty in disposing of excess or unproductive facilities of an acquired company or business and expenses in maintaining such facilities;

·	difficulty in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies, including disclosure controls and financial controls;

·	potential impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of new management personnel;

·	potential inability or failure to achieve additional sales and enhance our customer base through cross-marketing of the products to new and existing customers;

·	difficulty in obtaining additional equity or debt financing, resulting in additional leverage or dilution of ownership;

·	complying with government regulations which relate to the business acquired, including any additional costs resulting from the failure of the acquired company to comply with governmental regulations; and

dealing with unknown liabilities associated with the acquired businesses or product lines, or the need to spend significant amounts to retool, reposition or modify the marketing and sales of the acquired products or the defense of any litigation, whether or not successful, resulting from actions of the acquired company prior to our acquisition.

Our business could be severely impaired if and to the extent that we are unable to succeed in addressing any of these risks, and our results of operations may be adversely affected.

A large percentage of our revenues depends on a limited number of distributors, the loss of one or more of which may materially adversely affect our operations and revenues.

Our revenue is dependent in large part on significant orders from a limited number of distributors, who may vary from period to period. During the year ended December 31, 2011, two distributors accounted for approximately $33.98 million, or 56.0%, of our revenue, and during the year ended December 31, 2010, four distributors accounted for approximately $19.15 million, or 62.0% of our revenue. We do not have long-term contracts with these distributors. Demand for our products depends on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the financial condition of our distributors, the end users of our products and their customers and general economic conditions. If sales to any of our large distributors are substantially reduced for any reason, as occurred during the recent economic downturn, such reduction may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If the PRC government closes our facilities in the future, even temporarily, our financial condition may be materially affected.

The Chinese government closed our facilities for a period of almost two months during the third quarter of 2008 as part of the Chinese government’s program to reduce air pollution during the Olympics. No compensation was received for the closure. This shutdown reduced our sales in the first quarter of 2009 because it takes about three months to six months to produce graphite products. If the PRC government closes our facilities in the future, even temporarily, our financial condition may be materially affected.

If our competitors sell higher quality products or similar products at a lower price, or if they are otherwise more successful in penetrating the market, our financial condition may be affected.

We face competition from both Chinese and international companies, many of which are better known and have greater financial resources than us. Many of the international companies, in particular, have longer operating histories and have more established relationships with customers and end users. If our competitors are successful in providing similar or better graphite products, provide graphite products at a lower price than we offer our products, or if they are otherwise more successful in penetrating the market, we may experience a decline in demand for our products, which would negatively impact our sales and results of operations.

Because the end users of graphite products seek products that incorporate the latest technological development, including increased purity, our failure to offer such products may impair our ability to market our products.

Our products are either used in the manufacturing process of other products, particularly metals, or incorporated in various types of products or processes. The end users typically view both the purity of the graphite and the bend strength, compression strength, resistivity, bulk density and porosity of graphite as key factors in making a decision as to which products to purchase. Accordingly, our failure or inability to offer products manufactured with the most current manufacturing technology may adversely affect our sales.

Our intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them may reduce the value of our products.

Our trade secrets and patent are important assets for us. Our intellectual and proprietary property consists of one patent, trade secrets relating to the design and manufacture of graphite products and our customer lists. Various factors outside of our control pose a threat to our intellectual property rights as well as to our products. Effective intellectual property protection may not be available in China and other countries in which our products are sold. Intellectual property rights in China are still developing, and there are uncertainties involved in the protection and the enforcement of such rights.

Also, the efforts we have taken to protect our intellectual property rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business or our ability to compete with other companies.

We depend on third-party distributors over whom we have no control to market our products to end users in international markets.

Although there is an international market for graphite products and many of the end users of our products are located outside of the PRC, most of our direct sales are made to distributors and customers in the PRC. We do not have any offices outside of the PRC, and we depend on distributors based in the PRC, over whom we have no control, to sell our products in the international market. Any problems encountered by these third parties, including potential violations of laws of the PRC or other countries, may affect their ability to sell our products, which would, in turn, affect our net sales.

Because our products are purchased pursuant to individual purchase orders, and not long-term agreements, the results of our operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

We sell our products pursuant to purchase orders and, with the exception of one customer, whose purchases are not material to our overall revenues, we do not have long-term contracts with any distributors or customers. As a result, we must continually seek new customers and new orders from existing customers, and we cannot assure investors that we will have a continuing stream of revenue from any customer. Our failure to generate new business on an ongoing basis may materially impair our ability to operate profitably.

We rely on highly skilled personnel and, if we are unable to hire or retain qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.

Our performance largely depends on the talents and efforts of highly skilled individuals, including our executive officers and Mr. Denyong Jin, the chief executive officer of Xingyong and General Manager of our China operations. We do not have employment agreements with any of our executive officers or with Mr. Jin. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to retain these individuals and to hire, develop, motivate and retain other highly skilled personnel for all areas of our organization.

Because we consume significant amounts of electricity, any failure or interruption in electricity services may harm our ability to operate our business.

Our systems are heavily reliant on the availability of electricity. If we were to experience a major power outage, we would have to rely on back-up generators. These back-up generators may not operate properly and their fuel supply may be inadequate during a major power outage. This may result in disruption to our business.

If we fail to obtain all required licenses, permits, or approvals, we may be unable to expand our operations.

Before we develop certain new products, we must obtain a variety of approvals from local and municipal governments in the PRC. Our products may also be required to comply with the regulations of foreign countries where they are ultimately sold. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain all required licenses, permits, or approvals from these government authorities. If we fail to obtain all required licenses, permits or approvals, we may be unable to expand our operations.

Compliance with existing and future environmental laws and regulations may have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

As a manufacturer, we are subject to various Chinese environmental laws and regulations on air emission, waste water discharge, solid wastes, noise and safety. We cannot assure investors that we will be able to comply with these regulations at all times, as the Chinese environmental legal requirements are constantly evolving and becoming more stringent. If the Chinese national government or local governments impose more stringent regulations in the future, we may have to incur additional, and potentially substantial, costs and expenses in order to comply with such regulations, which may negatively affect our results of operations. For instance, during 2009, we incurred significant expenditures for environmental improvements required by new government regulations. In addition, if we fail to comply with any of the present or future environmental regulations in any material respect, we may suffer from negative publicity and be subject to claims for damages that may require us to pay substantial fines or cause our operations to be suspended or ceased.

Our business may be adversely affected by conditions in the global financial markets.

During 2008 and 2009, worldwide economic conditions deteriorated in many countries and regions, resulting in weak equity markets, tightening of business credit and liquidity, a contraction of consumer credit, business failures, increased unemployment and declines in consumer confidence and spending. Despite more positive trends beginning in the second half of 2009, the current turmoil in the sovereign debt markets as a result of the European debt crisis during 2011 has resulted in general market uncertainty and in worsening economic conditions particularly in Europe.

If global economic and financial market conditions remain uncertain and/or weak for an extended period of time, any of the following factors, among others, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations:

if our customers experience declining revenues, or experience difficulty obtaining financing in the capital and credit markets to purchase our products, this could result in reduced orders for our products, order cancellations, inability of customers to timely meet their payment obligations to us, extended payment terms, higher accounts receivable, reduced cash flows, greater expense associated with collection efforts and an increased bad debt expense;

·	slower consumer spending may result in reduced demand for our products, reduced orders from customers for our products, order cancellations, lower revenues, increased inventories, and lower gross margins;

·	continued volatility in the global markets and fluctuations in exchange rates for foreign currencies and contracts in foreign currencies could negatively impact our reported financial results and condition; and

·	continued volatility in the prices for commodities and raw materials that we use in our products could have a material adverse effect on our costs, gross margins, and ultimately our profitability.

Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC

Our business operations take place primarily in the PRC. Because Chinese laws, regulations and policies are constantly changing, our Chinese operations face several risks summarized below.

Limitations on Chinese economic market reforms may discourage foreign investment in Chinese businesses.

The value of investments in Chinese businesses could be adversely affected by political, economic and social uncertainties in China. The economic reforms introduced in China in recent years are regarded by China’s national government as a way to introduce economic market forces into China. Given the overriding desire of the national government leadership to maintain stability in China amid rapid social and economic changes in the country, the economic market reforms of recent years could be slowed, or even reversed.

Any change in policy by the Chinese government may adversely affect investments in Chinese businesses.

Changes in policy could result in the imposition of restrictions on currency conversion, imports or the source of supplies, as well as new laws affecting joint ventures and foreign-owned enterprises doing business in China. Although China has been pursuing economic reforms, events such as a change in leadership or social disruptions that may occur upon the proposed privatization of certain state-owned industries, may significantly affect the government’s ability to continue with its reform.

We face economic risks in doing business in China because the Chinese economy is more volatile than other countries.

As a developing nation, China’s economy is more volatile than those of developed Western industrial nations. It differs significantly from that of the U.S. or a Western European country in such respects as structure, level of development, capital reinvestment, legal recourse, resource allocation and self-sufficiency. Only in recent years has the Chinese economy moved from what had been a command economy through the 1970s to one that during the 1990s encouraged substantial private economic activity. In 1993, the Constitution of China was amended to reinforce such economic reforms. The trends of the 1990s indicate that future policies of the Chinese government will likely emphasize greater utilization of market forces. For example, in 1999 the Government announced plans to amend the Chinese Constitution to recognize private property, although private businesses will likely remain subordinate to state-owned companies, which are the mainstay of the Chinese economy. However, we cannot assure investors that, under some circumstances, the government’s pursuit of economic reforms will not be restrained or curtailed. Actions by the national government of China may have a significant adverse effect on economic conditions in the country as a whole and on the economic prospects of our Chinese operations.

PRC regulations relating to acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign entities may limit our ability to acquire PRC companies and adversely affect the implementation of our acquisition strategy as well as our business and prospects.

The PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, issued a public notice in January 2005 concerning foreign exchange regulations on mergers and acquisitions in China. The public notice states that if an offshore company controlled by PRC residents intends to acquire a PRC company, such acquisition will be subject to strict examination by the relevant foreign exchange authorities. The public notice also states that the approval of the relevant foreign exchange authorities is required for any sale or transfer by the PRC residents of a PRC company’s assets or equity interests to foreign entities, such as us, for equity interests or assets of the foreign entities.

In April 2005, SAFE issued another public notice further explaining the January notice. In accordance with the April notice, if an acquisition of a PRC company by an offshore company controlled by PRC residents has been confirmed by a Foreign Investment Enterprise Certificate prior to the promulgation of the January notice, the PRC residents must each submit a registration form to the local SAFE branch with respect to their respective ownership interests in the offshore company, and must also file an amendment to such registration if the offshore company experiences material events, such as changes in the share capital, share transfer, mergers and acquisitions, spin-off transactions or use of assets in China to guarantee offshore obligations.

On May 31, 2007, SAFE issued another official notice known as “Circular 106,” which requires the owners of any Chinese company to obtain SAFE’s approval before establishing any offshore holding company structure to facilitate foreign financing or subsequent acquisitions in China.

If we decide to acquire a company organized under the laws of the PRC, we cannot assure investors that we or the owners of such company, as the case may be, will be able to obtain the necessary approvals, filings and registrations for the acquisition. This may restrict our ability to implement our acquisition strategy and adversely affect our business and prospects.

Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of our stock.

Fluctuations in the value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may be affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. On July 21, 2005, the Chinese government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in the appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. While the international reaction to the RMB revaluation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the Chinese government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in further and more significant appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. Because approximately 90% of our costs and expenses are denominated in RMB, the revaluation in July 2005 and potential future revaluation has and could further increase our costs. In addition, as we rely entirely on dividends paid to us by our operating subsidiary, any significant revaluation of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial condition, and the value of, and any of our dividends payable on our ordinary shares in foreign currency.

Capital outflow policies in the PRC may hamper our ability to remit income to the United States.

The PRC has adopted currency and capital transfer regulations. These regulations may require that we comply with complex regulations for the movement of capital and as a result we may not be able to remit all income earned and proceeds received in connection with our operations to the United States or to our stockholders.

China’s foreign currency control policies may impair the ability of our Chinese operating company to pay dividends to us.

Because our operations are conducted through our Chinese operating company, we rely on dividends and other distributions from our Chinese operating company to provide us with cash flow to pay dividends or meet our other obligations. Any dividend payment is subject to foreign exchange rules governing repatriation. Any liquidation is subject to the relevant government agency’s approval and supervision as well as the foreign exchange control. Current regulations in China permit our operating company to pay dividends to us only out of accumulated distributable profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, our Chinese operating company is required to set aside at least 10% (up to an aggregate amount equal to half of our registered capital) of its accumulated profits each year for employee welfare. Such cash reserves may not be distributed as cash dividends. In addition, if our operating company in China incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. The inability of our operating company to pay dividends or make other payments to us may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Because our funds are held in banks that do not provide insurance, the failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds may affect our ability to continue to operate.

Banks and other financial institutions in the PRC do not provide insurance for funds held on deposit. As a result, in the event of a bank failure, we may not have access to funds on deposit. Depending upon the amount of money we maintain in a bank that fails, our inability to have access to our cash may impair our operations, and, if we are not able to access funds to pay our suppliers, employees and other creditors, we may be unable to continue to operate.

If we are unable to obtain business insurance in the PRC, we may not be protected from risks that are customarily covered by insurance in the United States.

Business insurance is not readily available in the PRC. To the extent that we suffer a loss of a type that would normally be covered by insurance in the United States, such as product liability and general liability insurance, we would incur significant expenses in both defending any action and in paying any claims that result from a settlement or judgment. We have not obtained fire, casualty and theft insurance, and there is no insurance coverage for our raw materials, goods and merchandise, furniture and buildings in China. Any losses incurred by us will have to be borne by us without any assistance, and we may not have sufficient capital to cover material damage to, or the loss of, our production facility due to fire, severe weather, flood or other cause, and such damage or loss may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business and prospects.

The Chinese legal and judicial system may negatively impact foreign investors because the Chinese legal system is not yet comprehensive.

In 1982, the National People’s Congress amended the Constitution of China to authorize foreign investment and guarantee the “lawful rights and interests” of foreign investors in China. However, China’s system of laws is not yet comprehensive. The legal and judicial systems in China are still under development, and enforcement of existing laws is inconsistent. Many judges in China lack the depth of legal training and experience that would be expected of a judge in a more developed country. Because the Chinese judiciary is relatively inexperienced in enforcing the laws that exist, anticipation of judicial decision-making is more uncertain than in a more developed country. It may be impossible to obtain swift and equitable enforcement of laws that do exist, or to obtain enforcement of the judgment of one court by a court of another jurisdiction. China’s legal system is based on written statutes; a decision by one judge does not set a legal precedent that is required to be followed by judges adjudicating other cases. In addition, the interpretation of Chinese laws may shift to reflect domestic political changes.

The promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws and the pre-emption of local regulations by national laws may adversely affect foreign investors. However, the trend of legislation over the last 20 years has significantly enhanced the protection of foreign investment and allowed for more control by foreign parties of their investments in Chinese enterprises. We cannot assure you that a change in leadership, social or political disruption, or unforeseen circumstances affecting China’s political, economic or social life, will not affect the Chinese government’s ability to continue to support and pursue these reforms. Such a shift may have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.

Because our principal assets are located outside of the United States and some of our directors and all of our executive officers reside outside of the United States, it may be difficult for investors to enforce your rights based on U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors in the United States or to enforce judgments of U.S. courts against us or them in the PRC.

Under the New Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of China. Such classification may 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, 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. In addition, a circular issued by the State Administration of Taxation on April 22, 2009 clarified that dividends and other income paid by such resident enterprises will be considered to be PRC source income and subject to PRC withholding tax. This recent circular also subjects such resident enterprises to various reporting requirements with the PRC tax authorities.

Although substantially all of our management is currently located in the PRC, it remains unclear whether the PRC tax authorities would require or permit our overseas registered entities to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. We do not currently consider our company to be a PRC resident enterprise. However, 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 may 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. This would also mean that income such as interest on offering 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 authorities responsible for enforcing 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, dividends paid to stockholders with respect to their shares of our common stock or any gains realized from transfer of such shares may generally be subject to PRC withholding taxes on such dividends or gains at a rate of 10% if the shareholders are deemed to be a non-resident enterprise or at a rate of 20% if the shareholders are deemed to be a non-resident individual.

It may be difficult for our stockholders to effect service of process against our subsidiaries and our officers and directors.

Our operating subsidiaries and substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. Investors may find it difficult to enforce their legal rights based on the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws against us in the courts of either the United States or the PRC and, even if civil judgments are obtained in courts of the United States, to enforce such judgments in the courts of the PRC. In addition, it is unclear whether extradition treaties in effect between the United States and the PRC would permit effective enforcement of criminal penalties under U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise against us or those of our officers and directors that reside outside of the United States.

The Chinese economy is evolving and we may be harmed by any economic reform.

Although the Chinese government owns the majority of productive assets in China, during the past several years the government has implemented economic reform measures that emphasize decentralization and encourage private economic activity. Because these economic reform measures may be inconsistent or ineffective, we are unable to assure investors that:

·	we will be able to capitalize on economic reforms;

·	the Chinese government will continue its pursuit of economic reform policies;

·	the economic policies, even if pursued, will be successful;

·	economic policies will not be significantly altered from time to time; and

·	business operations in China will not become subject to the risk of nationalization.

Since 1979, the Chinese government has reformed its economic system. Because many reforms are unprecedented or experimental, they are expected to be refined and improved. Other political, economic and social factors, such as political changes, changes in the rates of economic growth, unemployment or inflation, or in the disparities in per capita wealth between regions within China, may lead to further readjustment of the reform measures. This refining and readjustment process may negatively affect our operations.

Price inflation in China could affect our results of operation if we are unable to pass along raw material price increases to our customers.

Inflation in China has continued to rise over the last few years. Because we purchase raw materials from suppliers in China, price inflation has caused an increase in the cost of our raw materials. Price inflation may affect the results of our operations if we are unable to pass along the price increases to our customers. Similarly, the cost of constructing our new facility and the installation of equipment may increase as a result of these recent inflationary trends, which are expected to continue in the near future. In addition, if inflation continues to rise in China, China could lose its competitive advantage as a low-cost manufacturing venue, which may in turn lessen the competitive advantages of our being based in China. Accordingly, inflation in China may weaken our competitiveness domestically and in international markets.

Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act may subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits U.S. companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, are not subject to these prohibitions. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices may occur from time to time in the PRC. We can make no assurance, however, that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our reputation and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

The controlling stockholders of Sincere, our majority stockholder, may have significant influence over the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, which may prevent the Company from engaging in certain transactions.

As of December 31, 2011, Sincere owned 42% of our outstanding common stock. Family members of Mr. Denyong Jin, General Manager of our China operations, have control of Sincere. As a result, they exercise significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the appointment of our directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions. Their ownership and control may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination that may be in the best interests of the Company.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.

The SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, adopted rules requiring every public company to include a management report on such company’s internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.

During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, we identified significant deficiencies related to: (i) lack of entity level controls establishing a “tone at the top”, including but not limited to, communication between committee members and senior management regarding corporate decisions and planning; (ii) insufficient knowledge of accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both U.S. GAAP and SEC guidelines; (iii) an inadequate amount of review by management of the financial statement reporting process, including understanding and reporting all required disclosures necessary, by those in charge of corporate governance; (iv) lack of corporate governance policies in place, such as an internal audit function, fraud and risk assessment policies and a whistleblower policy; and (v) inadequate segregation of duties over certain information system access controls. We cannot assure investors that, if our independent auditors are required to attest to our internal controls, they will agree with our analysis or will not have identified other material weaknesses in our internal controls or disclosure controls.

Our reporting obligations as a public company place a significant strain on our management and operational and financial resources and systems. Effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to prevent fraud. As a result, our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting may result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in turn may harm our business and negatively impact the trading price of our stock. Furthermore, we anticipate that we will continue to incur considerable costs and use significant management time and other resources in an effort to comply with Section 404 and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

There is a limited market for our common stock, which may make it difficult for holders of our common stock to sell their stock.

Our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol CHGI.OB. There is a limited trading market for our common stock and at times there is no trading in our common stock. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any markets that may develop for our common stock, the ability of holders of our common stock to sell our common stock, or the prices at which holders may be able to sell our common stock. Further, many brokerage firms will not process transactions involving low price stocks, especially those that come within the definition of a “penny stock.” If we cease to be quoted, holders of our common stock may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock, and the market value of our common stock would likely decline.

If a more active trading market for our common stock develops, the market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations, and holders of our common stock may be unable to sell their shares at or above the price at which they were acquired.

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including:

·	quarterly variations in our revenues and operating expenses;

·	developments in the financial markets and worldwide economies;

·	announcements of innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors;

·	announcements by the PRC government relating to regulations that govern our industry;

·	significant sales of our common stock or other securities in the open market;

·	variations in interest rates;

·	changes in the market valuations of other comparable companies; and

·	changes in accounting principles.

In addition, the market for Chinese companies that went public in the U.S. through reverse mergers, such as ours, is currently extremely volatile due primarily to recent allegations and, in some instances, findings of fraud among some of these companies. If a stockholder were to file a class action suit against us following a period of volatility in the price of our securities, we would incur substantial legal fees and our management’s attention and resources would be diverted from operating our business to responding to such litigation, which may harm our business and reputation.

We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends to holders of our common stock for the foreseeable future, and any return on investment may be limited to potential future appreciation on the value of our common stock.

We currently intend to retain any future earnings to support the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The certificate of designation for the Series A Preferred Stock prohibits us from paying dividends to the holders of our common stock while the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding. There are currently no shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. To the extent that we do not pay dividends, our stock may be less valuable because a return on investment will occur only if, and to the extent that, our stock price appreciates, which may never occur. In addition, holders of our common stock must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation as the only way to realize a return on their investment, and if the price of our stock does not appreciate, then there will be no return on their investment.

If we become subject to the recent scrutiny and negative publicity involving U.S.-listed Chinese companies, our business operations, stock price and reputation could be harmed.

Recently, U.S. public companies that have substantially all of their operations in China, and in particular companies that have completed reverse merger transactions, have been the subject of intense scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity resulting from financial and accounting irregularities, a lack of effective internal control over financial reporting, inadequate corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence thereto and allegations of fraud. As a result, the publicly traded stock of many U.S.-listed Chinese companies has sharply declined in value. Many of these companies are now subject to shareholder lawsuits, SEC enforcement actions and are conducting internal and external investigations into the allegations. It is unclear what effect this may have on our Company, our business and our stock price. If we become the subject of any unfavorable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we will have to expend significant resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend the Company, which may impact our business operations and the value of our stock.

The rights of the holders of our common stock may be impaired by the potential issuance of preferred stock.

Our board of directors has the right to create new series of preferred stock. As a result, the board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, conversion, liquidation or other rights that may adversely affect the voting power and equity interest of the holders of our common stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any additional shares of preferred stock or to create any new series of preferred stock and the certificate of designation relating to the Series A Preferred Stock restricts our ability to issue additional series of preferred stock, we may issue such shares in the future.

Transactions engaged in by our majority stockholder may have an adverse effect on the price of our stock.

We do not know what plans, if any, Sincere, our majority stockholder, has with respect to its ownership of our stock. In the event that it sells a substantial number of its shares of our common stock, such sale may lower the price of our stock.

Properties.

There is no private ownership of land in China and all urban land ownership is held by the government, its agencies and collectives. Land use rights can be obtained from the government for a period of up to 50 years for industrial usage, 40 years for commercial usage and 70 years for residential usage, and are typically renewable. Land use rights can be transferred upon approval by the State Land Administration Bureau and payment of the required land transfer fee.

The Company has land use rights of 386,853 square meters used for operations in Xinghe County, Inner Mongolia, China. 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. In addition, in 2011, the local Chinese government and the Company agreed on terms for the land use rights of 387,838 square meters of land located adjacent to the Company’s facilities. The Company was not required to sign a land use right agreement or pay a fee. In exchange, the Company will allow public use of this 387,838 square meters of land and keep the land in good condition. The land use right has a term of 50 years, with such term expiring in January 2060. The value of the land is estimated to be $14,000,000. Because of our current relationship with the local government, we believe that it is unlikely that we will have to pay for the land use right. The bank allows, and the Company uses, this land use right as collateral for its short-term bank loans. We believe that our facilities are sufficient to meet our current and near future requirements and that any additional space that we may require would be available on commercially reasonable terms.

Dividend Policy

While we are required to pay dividends on the shares of our Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, we have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock and have no present plans to do so in the foreseeable future. The certificate of designation for our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock prohibits us from paying dividends on our common stock or redeeming common stock while any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding. In addition, any dividend payment that the Company makes is subject to foreign exchange rules governing repatriation. Current regulations in China permit our operating company to pay dividends to us only out of accumulated distributable profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. The inability of our operating company to pay dividends or make other payments to us may limit our ability to pay dividends to holders of our Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock.

As of December 31, 2011, there were no shares of our Series A Preferred Stock outstanding and 426,110 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock outstanding. Any future decisions regarding dividends will be made by our board of directors. We currently intend to retain and use any future earnings for the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Redemption of Series B Preferred Stock

On December 22, 2011, all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock became redeemable. The redeemable preferred stock was reclassified to temporary equity as of December 31, 2011. The redemption price for the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock that the Company will redeem is approximately $360,000. As a result of China’s foreign currency control, the Company has applied to SAFE to obtain approval to make the foreign currency payment of the redemption price to holders of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

Overview

We are engaged in the manufacture of graphite-based products in the PRC. Our products are used in the manufacturing process of 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:

·	graphite electrodes;

·	fine grain graphite; and

·	high purity graphite.

Based on information we receive about our industry in the course of our business, we believe that we are the largest wholesale supplier of fine grain graphite and high purity graphite in China and one of China’s largest producers and suppliers of graphite products overall. Approximately 40% of our products are sold directly to end users in China, primarily consisting of steel manufacturers. All other sales are made to over 200 distributors located throughout 22 provinces in China. Our distributors then sell our products to end users both in China and in foreign countries, including, among others, Japan, the United States, Spain, England, South Korea and India. In 2011, our revenues and profits improved from 2010 due to an increase in demand for our products, which resulted from improved market conditions, increased sales prices and an increase in our production capacity, as discussed in greater detail below under the heading “Results of Operations.”

From the fourth quarter of 2008 until the end of 2009, however, as a result of the global economic crisis, the steel industry in general slowed, which caused our revenues and gross margin to decline significantly. The industry started to recover in 2010, in particular since the third quarter of 2010. This recovery and development continued during 2011 and the first quarter of 2012. Our revenues, gross profits and gross margins improved significantly during the second half of 2010, which continued in 2011. Our gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2011 was 23.2%, compared to 22.4% for the year ended December 31, 2010. We believe that our gross margin will be approximately 23% during the next twelve months.

Our cash and receivables increased during the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, while collectability of our receivables remained highly probable. We believe that our allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2011 was adequate. We expect the recovery and increasing demand in the fine grain, high purity and ultra-high power graphite electrode markets to continue in 2012, primarily due to anticipated growth in the iron, steel, automobile, aerospace and defense industries in the PRC. Currently, steel plants in China have been upgrading their furnace facilities, which created a high demand for large size ultra-high power graphite electrodes. The margin for large size ultra-high power graphite electrodes is high due to the shortage of supply compared to demand. We estimate that this trend will continue for the near future. Our new production plant will specialize in manufacturing high margin products including large size ultra-high power graphite electrodes, high purity graphite and fine gain graphite.

In order to address this demand, we installed a 4200-ton compressor and 36 annular kilns, which we have completed testing. The 4200-ton compressor began trial production in October 2011, and the 36 annular kilns began trial production in August 2011. In addition, the new baking plant will have 36 furnaces, totaling 160 meters in length. The new plant will be used to manufacture a new product, ultra-high power graphite electrodes with a diameter ranging from 600 to 800 millimeters, along with existing fine grain and high purity graphite products. The industrial applications of the products to be manufactured in the new facility include aerospace, defense, automotive and clean tech end products, which currently carries the greatest demand for all forms of graphite. We believe that this expansion will make us China’s first domestic producer of 800 millimeter diameter ultra-high power electrodes and will further strengthen the Company’s leading position in China’s fine grain graphite market. After completion of the expansion, our annual production capacity increased to 60,000 tons. The Company is currently operating at 75% production capacity of 30,000 tons annually.

The initial budgeted investment for the construction of our new facility was approximately $13.5 million in the aggregate, $9 million of which had been spent as of December 31, 2011.

Some of our expansion plans, including the expansion of our product offerings to include nuclear, solar and semiconductor products and pursuing an acquisition, would likely require us to obtain additional financing from equity or debt markets, or borrow additional funds from local banks. We currently have no commitments from any financing sources. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise any funds on terms favorable to us, or at all. In the event that we issue shares of equity or convertible securities, holdings of our existing stockholders would be diluted. In addition, there is no assurance that we will successfully manage and integrate the production and sale of new products.

At December 31, 2011, we had short-term bank loans of approximately $45.5 million. These bank loans, which are secured by liens on our fixed assets and land use rights, are due between August 2012 and January 2013, including approximately $32 million owed to the Construction Bank of China. During the year ended December 31, 2011 and the first quarter of 2012, the Company rolled over all of its short-term bank loans from the China Construction Bank, including a loan for $4.72 million that was originally due on January 11, 2012, and a short-term bank loan from Credit Union that was originally due in February 2012. Historically, we have rolled over our short-term loans when they became due. However, we cannot assure investors that our lenders, including the Construction Bank of China, will not demand repayment when these loans mature. If our lenders demand repayment when due, we may be unable to obtain the necessary funds to pay off these loans, which could result in the imposition of penalties, including a 50% increase in interest rates and a request from the banks for additional security for the loans. At December 31, 2011, our cash reserves, including restricted cash, were $12.2 million and are insufficient to pay off all of our loans when due.

We purchase all of our raw materials from domestic Chinese suppliers. Because we do not have any long-term contracts with our suppliers, any increase in the prices of our raw materials would affect the price at which we can sell our products. If we are unable to pass on increased costs to our customers, we may be unable to maintain our profit margins. Raw material prices increased significantly in 2010 and continued to increase during the year ended December 31, 2011. While we anticipate this trend to continue in 2012, decreases in our gross margin have been offset by increasing sales prices. To offset increasing prices, we make advance deposits to suppliers with available cash to lock in prices. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we advanced to suppliers $5,921,970 and $10,198,602, respectively. The average prices for our products have been increasing since January 2011, and have continued to increase through the date of this Annual Report. In particular, prices for high purity graphite products have notably increased.

In times of decreasing prices, we may have to sell our products at prices, which are lower than the prices at which we purchased our raw materials. Furthermore, PRC regulations grant broad powers to the government to adjust the price of raw materials and manufactured products. Although the government has not imposed price controls on our raw materials or our products, it is possible that price controls may be implemented in the future, thereby affecting our results of operations and financial condition.

Sales .

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we had sales of $49,846,744, compared to sales of $30,994,150 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $18,852,594, or approximately 60.8%. Sales increase was mainly attributable to a significant increase in the demand for our products during the year ended December 31, 2011, which resulted from the market recovery, new customer developments and changes to our product mix to include more high purity graphite products. The average unit selling price of our products increased 24% and the average unit selling price of high purity graphite products increased 58% during the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to the same period for the year ended December 31, 2010. The manufacturing of solar and mold products increased the demand for our products as raw materials. Increased production capacity and increased unit prices also contributed to an increase in total sales. The increase in the average unit selling price of high purity graphite is due to a large demand for such products in the market as well an increase in the cost for raw materials. We experienced a decrease in the demand for high purity graphite during the first quarter of 2010. Since then, the company has been successful in improving its product mix to achieve higher profit through increasing sales of fine grain graphite and high purity graphite products, which generate a better margin.

The breakdown of revenues for each of graphite electrodes, fine grain graphite and high purity graphite, in 2011 and 2010, respectively, was as follows:

	December 31, 2011 Sales		% of Total Sales			December 31, 2010 Sales		% of Total Sales
Graphite Electrodes	$	6,396,600		12.8	%	$	9,263,690		29.9	%
Fine Grain Graphite		21,787,763		43.7	%		12,977,109		41.9	%
High Purity Graphite		20,692,796		41.5	%		6,663,847		21.5	%
Others (1)		969,585		2.0	%		2,089,504		6.7	%
Total	$	49,846,744		100.0%		$	30,994,150		100.0%

(1) “Other” sales represent revenue generated by sales of semi-processed products and other types of products.

Cost of sales; gross margin .

Our cost of goods sold consists of the cost of raw materials, utilities, labor, and depreciation expenses in our manufacturing facilities. During the year ended December 31, 2011, our cost of goods sold was $38,261,812, compared to $24,062,354 for the cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $14,199,458 , or approximately 59.0%. The increase in the cost of sales was directly associated with an increase in in the cost of raw materials due to our increase in sales and an increase in the unit selling price of our products. Our gross margin increased from 22.4% for the year ended December 31, 2010 to 23.2% for the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase reflects the variance in our product mix, which is attributable to an increase in our sales of high purity graphite products (a higher margin product compared to graphite electrodes). There was a decrease in the margin for fine grain graphite products due to a shift in demand for high purity graphite electrodes during the year ended December 31, 2011. The increased sales and increased margin for high purity graphite products offset the decreased margin and unit price for fine grain graphite products.

Operating expenses.

Operating expenses totaled $6,242,033 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $4,505,584 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $1,736,449, or approximately 38.5%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling expenses increased from $186,693 for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $597,802 for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $411,109, or 220.2%. The increase was due to higher shipping and handling expenses during the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, which resulted from higher sales and increased shipping and handling costs due to the increased cost of fuel.

Our general and administrative expenses consist of salaries, office expenses, utilities, business travel, amortization expenses, public company expenses (including legal expenses, accounting expenses and investor relations expenses) and stock compensation. General and administrative expenses were $5,420,157 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $4,155,581 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $1,264,576, or 30.4%. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due primarily to increased taxes and professional expenses as a public company. The Company incurred $1,440,750 for consulting expenses and the compensation of directors and an employee through stock issuances during the year ended December 31, 2011. The increased land use tax of approximately $1,292,464 for the year ended December 31, 2011 is attributable to our payment of land use tax for the land use right we acquired in 2010, which became subject to land use tax during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Depreciation and amortization expenses

Depreciation and amortization expenses totaled $1,803,770 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $1,752,232 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $51,538, or approximately 2.9%. For the year ended December 31, 2011, depreciation and amortization was allocated between costs of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses in the amounts $1,579,696 and $224,074, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2010, depreciation and amortization was allocated between costs of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses in the amounts $1,588,922 and $163,310, respectively The slight increase in depreciation and amortization expenses is a result of additional fixed assets placed in service during 2011

Income from operations.

As a result of the factors described above, operating income was $5,342,899 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $2,426,212 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $2,916,687, or 120.2%.

Other income and expenses.

Our interest expense was $3,451,037 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $1,366,104 for the year ended December 31, 2010, reflecting increased interest payments on loans from banks. We used the additional bank loans to secure additional inventory and to make advanced payments to our suppliers because raw material prices are rising and we anticipate increased production levels due to the construction of our new facility. Other income, which consisted of government grants, was $1,167,077 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $24,589 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Expenses from changes in the fair value of our warrants as a result of adopting ASC 820-10 was $86,691 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $385,661 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Income tax.

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we benefited from a 100% tax holiday from the PRC enterprise tax. As a result, we had no income tax due for these periods. The enterprise income tax at the statutory rates would have been approximately $833,119 and $424,549, respectively, for 2011 and 2010 without consideration of adjustments on taxable income. The tax holiday is from 2008 through 2017.

Net income.

As a result of the factors described above, our net income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $ 2,972,251 , compared to $1,383,391 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $1,588,860, or 114.9%.

Foreign currency translation.

Our financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars but the functional currency of our operating subsidiary is RMB. Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the financial statements denominated in RMB into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. Our foreign currency translation gain for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $1,599,128, compared to $1,307,351 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $291,777, or 22.3%.

Preferred stock deemed dividend.

As a result of the private placement that was completed on January 13, 2010, we incurred a preferred stock deemed dividend of $132,778, of which $86,221 represented the intrinsic value of the conversion feature of the warrants issued with the preferred stock and $46,557 represented the allocated value of the warrants. The preferred stock deemed dividend is a non-cash charge which did not affect our operations or cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2010, and for which there was no comparable charge for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Dividend expense.

Net income available to common stockholders.

Net income available to our common stockholders was $ 2,944,152 , or $0.13 and $0.13 per share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $1,149,570, or $0.07 and $0.06 per share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary capital needs have been to fund our working capital requirements. Our primary sources of financing have been cash generated from short -term and long-term loans from banks in China and loans from a related party. In addition, in December 2009 and January 2010, we raised an aggregate of approximately $3 million in a private placement transaction. In 2011, we raised an aggregate of $160,000.

At December 31, 2011, we had short-term loans in the aggregate amount of $45.5 million outstanding, as described below.

We have a short-term bank loan from Huaxia Bank for $5.5 million bearing interest at 8.203% annually and due in June 2012. The short-term bank loan is secured by a security interest in certain equipment, property and land use rights.

We entered into five short-term bank loans with China Construction Bank for a total of $32 million between August 6, 2010 and February 28, 2011. The first of these loans was made on August 6, 2010 for $6.3 million with an interest rate of 6.56% per year and a maturity date of August 27, 2012. The second loan was made on August 23, 2010 for $6.3 million with an interest rate of 6.56% per year and a maturity date of August 14 , 2012. The third loan was made on September 6, 2010 for $6.3 million with an interest rate of 6.56% per year and a maturity date of August 28, 2012. The fourth loan was made on September 16, 2010 for $8.8 million with an interest rate of 6.56% per year and a maturity date of September 27, 2012. The fifth loan was made on February 28, 2011 for $4.7 million with an interest rate of 5.81% per year and a maturity date of January 11, 2012. In January 2012, this loan was rolled over by the Company and renewed for the same amount with an interest rate of 6.56% per year and a maturity date of January 2013. The loan is secured by property and equipment and land use rights. Each of the loans made on August 6, 2010, August 23, 2010, September 6, 2010 and September 16, 2010 were originally due between August 5, 2011 and September 15, 2011 but were rolled over and renewed by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2011. Interest on each loan is payable quarterly. All of the loans with China Construction Bank are renewable at the lender’s discretion. The loan agreements provide for events of default and operating and financial covenants typical for loan transactions of this type. As of December 31, 2011, the balance for these six short-term bank loans was $32 million.

We have a short-term bank loan from Credit Union for $1.3 million bearing interest at 13.66% annually and due in February 2012. In January 2012, this loan was rolled over by the Company and renewed for the same amount with an interest rate of 13.66% per year and a maturity date of August 2012. The loan is secured by property and equipment and land use rights.

We have a short-term bank loan from China Everbright Bank for $6.3 million bearing interest at 8.528% annually and due in July 2012. The short-term bank loan is secured by equipment and property and land use rights.

Historically we have rolled over our short-term loans on an annual basis. Although we believe that we will be able to obtain extensions of these loans when they mature, we cannot assure investors that such extensions will be granted. In the event repayment of the loans is not extended and we default on our obligations, the lenders could call the loans, foreclose on the collateral securing the loans or seek other remedies. In such an event, our operations and financial conditions would be materially adversely affected and we would be forced to cease operations if alternative funding is not obtained.

Despite a low amount of working capital, we are able to operate our business through bank financing, loans from related parties and issuing equity in exchange for certain services provided. Our long-term goal is to continue to roll over short-term loans and obtain positive cash flows from our outstanding accounts receivable and sales of inventory until our new facility is operating at full capacity. We believe that increased market demand for our products and the increased production capacity, together with management of our accounts receivable, will produce a positive cash flow in future years. We expect that anticipated cash flows from future operations, short-term and long-term bank loans and loans from a related party will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least the next twelve months, provided that:

·	we generate sufficient business so that we are able to generate substantial profits, which cannot be assured;

·	our banks continue to provide us with the necessary working capital financing; and

·	we are able to generate savings by improving the efficiency of our operations.

In December 2009 and January 2010, we raised an aggregate of approximately $3 million in a private placement transaction. We may require additional equity, debt or bank funding to finance acquisitions or to allow us to produce graphite for the nuclear industry, which are our primary growth strategies. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to enter into any financing agreements on terms favorable to us, if at all, especially considering the current global instability of the capital markets. In addition, although we expect to refinance our bank loans when they mature, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to refinance such loans on terms favorable to us, if at all.

At December 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents were $521,450, compared to $296,312 at December 31, 2010, an increase of $225,138. Restricted cash increased to $11,516,500 as of December 31, 2011 from nil as of December 31, 2010, which was restricted as a requirement by our lenders. Our working capital decreased by $1,034,489 to $1,056,065 at December 31, 2011 from $2,090,554 at December 31, 2010. Our cash position slightly increased due to the increased sales and less cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to use of cash from operations during the year ended December 31, 2010.

As of December 31, 2011, accounts receivable, net of allowance, was $12,541,321, compared to $6,222,112 at December 31, 2010, an increase of $6,319,209, or 101.56%. The increase was consistent with an increase in our sales. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Our management reviews the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and the 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. The Company believes its allowance was sufficient as of December 31, 2011.

As of December 31, 2011, inventories were $37,430,248, compared to $26,432,217 at December 31, 2010, an increase of $10,998,031, or 41.61%. The increase in inventories is due to an increase in the cost of raw materials and an increase in the production capacity of our facilities.

As of December 31, 2011, prepaid expenses were $452,730, compared to $573,094 at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $120,364, or 21.00%. The decrease in prepaid expenses is attributable to the amortization of various prepaid consulting fees paid with stock issuances.

Advances to suppliers decreased from $10,198,602 at December 31, 2010 to $5,921,970 at December 31, 2011, a decrease of $4,276,632. The decrease is due to the Company advancing more money to suppliers to acquire raw materials during the year ended December 31, 2010. No allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary for the balance of advances to suppliers.

Notes payable reflect our obligations to bank lenders who have guaranteed our future payment obligations as requested by certain of our suppliers. Notes payable increased from $0 to $16,763,100 from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011. The increase is attributable to an increase in the purchase of inventory. The notes payable were secured by $11,694,820 of restricted cash at December 31, 2011. Notes payable allow the Company to reserve more cash resources for other operating expenses. Restricted cash represents amounts held by a bank as security for bank acceptance notes and is subject to withdrawal restrictions.

Accounts payable decreased from $5,452,743 at December 31, 2010 to $1,340,498 at December 31, 2011, a decrease of $4,112,245. The decrease in accounts payable resulted from an increase in the number of payments the Company was able to make to vendors during the year ended December 31, 2011 because of an increase in production.

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2010

The following table sets forth information about our net cash flow for the years indicated:

Cash Flows Data:
	For Year Ended December 31
	2011			2010
Net cash flows used in operating activities	$	(8,256,429	)	$	(13,508,155	)
Net cash flows used in investing activities	$	(8,562,060	)	$	(13,285,972	)
Net cash flows provided by financing activities	$	17,032,709		$	24,374,521

Net cash flow used in operating activities was $8,256,429 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $13,508,155 for the year ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $5,251,726, or 38.9%. The decrease in net cash flow used in operating activities was mainly due to less payments for advances to suppliers of $13.6 million and less payments made for taxes payable of $2.2 million, which was offset by increased accounts receivable of $3.7 million, increased payments for accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $5.2 million and increased payments for inventory of $1.02 million. During the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase in our sales increased the Company’s accounts receivable.

Net cash flow used in investing activities was $8,562,060 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $13,285,972 for the year ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $4,723,912, or 35.6%. The decrease in net cash flow used in investing activities is attributable to the Company spending $6.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 to acquire land use rights for which there was no comparable expense for the year ended December 31, 2011. Approximately $2.8 million was spent on construction costs and $5.8 million was spent for property and equipment for our new factory during the year ended December 31, 2011, including the installation of a 4200-ton compressor and 36 annular kilns. For the year ended December 31, 2010, $5.5 million was spent on construction costs and $1.0 million was spent on property and equipment.

Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $17,032,709 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $24,374,521 for the year ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $7,341,812, or 31.1%. The decrease in net cash flow provided by financing activities was due to an increase in the amount of restricted cash of $11.5 million required to secure our notes payable, which offset the increase in additional notes payable and short-term loans entered into during the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company had approximately $16.5 million of notes payable for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. In addition, the aggregate amount of outstanding short-term loans borrowed and repaid increased for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company borrowed $45.5 million in short-term bank loans and repaid $34.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2011, while the Company borrowed $33.3 million in short-term bank loans and repaid $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates including the allowance for doubtful accounts, the salability and recoverability of our products, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition, which states that revenue should be recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the service has been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Sales represent the invoiced value of goods, net of value added tax (“VAT”), if any, and are recognized upon delivery of goods and passage of title.

In accordance with ASC 605-25, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, transfer of title has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company derives revenues from the manufacturing and distribution of graphite based products. The Company recognizes its revenues net of VAT. The Company is subject to VAT, which is levied on a majority of the products, at a rate ranging from 13% to 17% on the invoiced value of sales. Output VAT is borne by customers in addition to the invoiced value of sales and input VAT is borne by the Company in addition to the invoiced value of purchases to the extent not refunded for export sales.

The Company recognizes revenue upon receipt of the delivery confirmation provided by the customer or distributor. The Company does not provide chargeback or price protection rights to the distributors. The distributor only places purchase orders with the Company once it has confirmed the sale with a third party because this is a specialized business, which dictates that the Company will not manufacture the products until the purchase order is received. The Company allows its customers to return products only if its products are later determined by the Company to be defective. 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 allowances for sales returns. If sales returns occur, they 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. The Company experienced no returns for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Comprehensive Income

We have adopted ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, formerly known as SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. We have chosen to report comprehensive income (loss) in the statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740, Income Tax, formerly known as SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence attributable to the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Effective January 1, 2008, the new Chinese income tax law sets unified income tax rates for domestic and foreign companies at 25%, except for a 15% corporate income tax rate for qualified high technology and science enterprises. In accordance with this new income tax law, low preferential tax rates in accordance with both the tax laws and administrative regulations prior to the promulgation of this law gradually become subject to the new tax rate within five years after the implementation of this law.

We have been recognized as a high technology and science company by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the PRC. The Xing He District Local Tax Authority in the Nei Mongol province granted us a 100% tax holiday with respect to enterprise income tax for ten years from 2008 through 2017. Afterwards, based on the present tax law and our status as a qualified high technology and science company, we will be subject to a corporate income tax rate of 15% effective in 2018.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance For Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for allowance 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. The allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $2,790,662 for the year ended December 31, 2011. Management believes that this allowance is sufficient based on a review of customer credit history, historic payment records, aging, the market and other factors.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, and net realizable value. Work in progress and finished goods are composed of direct material, direct labor and a portion of manufacturing overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose. Management believes that there was no obsolete inventory as of December 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010 and therefore, no allowance for inventory was necessary.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Major expenditures for betterments and renewals are capitalized while ordinary repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets after taking into account the estimated residual value. 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 years ended at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Land Use Rights

There is no private ownership of land in China. All land ownership is held by the government, its agencies and collectives. Land use rights are obtained from the government, and are typically renewable. Land use rights can be transferred upon approval by State Land Administration Bureau and payment of the required transfer fee. We record the property subject to land use rights as intangible asset.

The Company has land use rights of 386,853 square meters used for operations in Xinghe County, Inner Mongolia, China. 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. In addition, in 2011, the local Chinese government and the Company agreed on terms for the land use rights of 387,838 square meters of land located adjacent to the Company’s facilities. The Company was not required to sign a land use right agreement or pay a fee. In exchange, the Company will allow public use of this 387,838 square meters of land and keep the land in good condition. The land use right has a term of 50 years, with such term expiring in January 2060. The value of the land is estimated to be $14,000,000. The Company has not accrued the liability or recorded the land use right asset for this property in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. Because of our current relationship and agreement with the local government to keep the land in good condition, we believe that it is unlikely that we will have to pay for the land use right. The bank allows, and the Company uses, this land use right as collateral for its short-term bank loans. We believe that our facilities are sufficient to meet our current and near future requirements and that any additional space that we may require would be available on commercially reasonable terms.

Each intangible asset is reviewed periodically or more often if circumstances dictate, to determine whether its carrying value has become impaired. We consider assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. We also re-evaluate the amortization periods to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, and are included in general and administrative expenses. These costs primarily consist of the cost of material used and salaries paid for the development of our products and fees paid to third parties. Our research and development expense for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 has not been significant.

Value Added Tax

Pursuant to China’s VAT rules and regulations, as an ordinary VAT taxpayer we are subject to a tax rate of 17% (“output VAT”). The output VAT is payable after offsetting VAT paid by us on purchases (“input VAT”). Under the commercial practice of the PRC, the Company paid VAT and business tax based on tax invoices issued.

The tax invoices may be issued subsequent to the date on which revenue is recognized, and there may be a considerable delay between the date on which the revenue is recognized and the date on which the tax invoice is issued. In the event that the PRC tax authorities dispute the date on which revenue is recognized for tax purposes, the PRC tax office has the right to assess a penalty, which can range from zero to five times the amount of the taxes that are determined to be late or deficient. In the event that a tax penalty is assessed on late or deficient payments, the penalty will be expensed as a period expense if and when a determination has been made by the taxing authorities that a penalty is due.

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 liabilities, 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, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, advances to suppliers, other receivables, short-term bank loans, notes payable, accounts payable, advances from customers and other payables, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity period for these instruments.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that was used to calculate fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011:

	Carrying Value at December 31,		Fair Value Measurement at December 31, 2011
	2011		Level 1	Level 2		Level 3
Warrant liability	$	174,805	-	-	$	174,805

	Carrying Value at December 31,		Fair Value Measurement at December 31, 2010
	2010		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Warrant liability	$	73,121		-	-	$	73,121

Please see Note 3 contained in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our warrant liability for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

The Company did not identify any other non-recurring assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation includes (i) common stock awards granted to employees and directors for services which are accounted for under FASB ASC 718, Compensation–Stock Compensation, and (ii) 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.

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 the 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 did not make significant grants to consultants for any of the periods 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.

$1,336,150 and $130,000 of stock compensation expenses were amortized and recognized as general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This pronouncement was issued to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for level 3 fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In June 2011, FASB issued new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income from that of current accounting guidance. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company elected to adopt this accounting guidance and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments contained in ASU 2011-11 require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 results in changes to presentation and disclosure only and is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

During December 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. The amendments contained in ASU 2011-12 supersede changes to those paragraphs in ASU 2011-05 that pertain to how, when and where reclassification adjustments are presented. The adoption of ASU 2011-12 will result in changes to presentation and disclosure only, and is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders’

China Carbon Graphite Group, Inc.

Chengguantown, Inner Mongolia, China

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Carbon Graphite Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of China Carbon Graphite Group, Inc. at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2011 , in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

(1) Organization and Business

China Carbon Graphite Group, Inc. (the “Company”), through its subsidiaries, is engaged in the manufacture of graphite-based products in the People’s Republic of China (“China” or the “PRC”). The Company’s products are used in the manufacturing process of other products, particularly non-ferrous metals and steel, and are incorporated in various types of products or processes, such as atomic reactors. The Company manufactures and sells three types of products throughout China and internationally: graphite electrodes; fine grain graphite; and high purity graphite.

The Company was incorporated on February 13, 2003 in Nevada under the name Achievers Magazine Inc. In connection with the reverse merger 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 with Sincere Investment (PTC), Ltd. (“Sincere”), a British Virgin Islands corporation. Sincere was 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 PRC. Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, the Company issued 9,388,172 shares of common stock to Sincere in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Talent, and Talent became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon completion of the reverse merger, the Company’s 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 organized under the laws of the PRC. Xingyong’s principal stockholder is Mr. Denyong Jin, the General Manager of the Company’s China operations. Yongle is party to a series of contractual agreements with Xinghe Xingyong Carbon Co., Ltd. (“Xingyong”), a corporation organized under the laws of the PRC. These agreements allow the Company to operate its business in the PRC and to control the management of Xingyong and receive economic remuneration from Xingyong’s business. As a result, Xingyong is a variable interest entity and the operations of Xingyong are consolidated with those of the Company for financial reporting purposes.

F-7

The relationship among the above companies is as follows:

Liquidity and Working Capital Deficit

Currently and for the last two fiscal years, the Company has managed to operate the business with a low net working capital. The Company’s low working capital is primarily due to substantial short-term loans from banks and borrowing from a related party. The Company is able to operate with a low net working capital because of local community and governmental support in Inner Mongolia. Additionally, due to the length of the time that it takes to complete purchase orders for customers, the Company is able to reasonably predict future operating cash flow needs. The Company believes, operating cash flows from accounts receivable and inventory and the ability to roll over short-term debt, taken together, provide adequate resources to fund ongoing operations in the foreseeable future. The Company believes that the increased market demand and expanded production capacity, together with management of our accounts receivable, will produce positive cash flows in future years. If the Company’s short-term cash flows decrease significantly and the Company is unable to pay its short-term liabilities, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected.

(2) Basis for Preparation of the Financial Statements

The Company maintains its books and accounting records in Renminbi (“RMB”), but its reporting currency is U.S. 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, a variable interest entity whose financial condition is consolidated with the Company pursuant to ASC Topic 810-10, Consolidation, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

F-8

(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect 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 reporting period. Some of the significant estimates include 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.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity periods 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 short-term bank notes payable and therefore is subject to withdrawal restrictions. As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, these amounts totaled $11,694,820 and $0, respectively. The restricted cash is expected to be released within the next twelve months after the bank notes have matured.

Accounts receivable

Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance 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 December 31, 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.

F-9

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 are 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 years ended at December 31, 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 years ended at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Land use rights

The Company has land use rights of 386,853 square meters used for operations in Xinghe County, Inner Mongolia, China. 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. In addition, in 2011, the local Chinese government and the Company agreed on terms for the land use rights of 387,838 square meters of land located adjacent to the Company’s facilities. The Company was not required to sign a land use right agreement or pay a fee. In exchange, the Company will allow public use of this 387,838 square meters of land and keep the land in good condition. The land use right has a term of 50 years, with such term expiring in January 2060. The value of the land is estimated to be $14,000,000. The Company has not accrued the liability or recorded the land use right asset for this property in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. Because of the relationship and agreement with the local government to keep the land in good condition, the Company is unlikely to have to pay for the land use right. The bank allows, and the Company uses, this land use right as collateral for its short-term bank loans.

F-10

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation includes (i) common stock awards granted to employees and directors for services which are accounted for under FASB ASC 718, Compensation–Stock Compensation” and (ii) common stock awards granted to consultants which are accounted for under FASB ASC 505-50, Equity–Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.

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.

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 U.S. dollars. The Company uses 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 stockholders’ equity. Translation adjustments for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $1,599,128 and $1,307,351, respectively. The cumulative translation adjustment and effect of exchange rate changes on cash for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $11,030 and $6,791, respectively. 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 6.35 RMB and 6.59 RMB to $1.00 at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rates. The average translation rates applied to income statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were 6.45 RMB and 6.76 RMB to $1.00, respectively. 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

F-11

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the costs of raw materials, freight charges, direct labor, depreciation of plants and machinery, warehousing 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 No. 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs. The Company classifies shipping and handling costs paid on behalf of its customers in selling expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, shipping and handling costs were $417,480 and $125,505, respectively.

Segment reporting

ASC 280, Segment Reporting, formerly known as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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.

Because the Company sells only carbon graphite products to Chinese distributors and end users, it has only one business segment.

Taxation

Taxation on profits earned in the PRC has been calculated based on the estimated assessable profits for the year at the rates of taxation prevailing in the PRC after taking into account the benefits from any special tax credits or “tax holidays” allowed in the county of operations.

F-12

The Company does not accrue U.S. income tax since it has no operations 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, 740 Income Tax, 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 from 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 2011, if recognized, would not have a material effect on its effective tax rate. The Company further believes that there are no tax positions, including the Enterprise Income Tax holiday from Xing He District Local Tax Authority, 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

The Company has been recognized as a high technology and science company by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the PRC. Therefore, Xing He District Local Tax Authority in the Nei Mongol province granted the Company a 100% tax holiday from the enterprise income tax for 10 years from 2008 through 2017. When the tax holiday ends, 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 corporate income tax rate of 15% effective in 2018.

The enterprise income tax is calculated on the basis of the statutory profit as defined in the PRC tax laws. This statutory profit is computed differently than 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 from 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 $16,542 and $539,869 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

F-13

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 is 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.

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 fair value of the 2007 Warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock was $2,702 and $54 at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The Company recognized a gain of $51 from the change in fair value of these warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and a gain of $3 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and a gain of $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and a loss of $2,702 for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

The fair value of the 2009 Warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock was $22,820 and $8,357 at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The Company recognized a gain of $5,450 from the change in fair value of these warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and a gain of $2,459 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and a gain of $49 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and a loss of $22,421 for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

The fair value of the 2009 Series B Warrants to purchase 804,200 shares of common stock was $132,521 and $70,914 at December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. The Company recognized a gain of $45,131 from the change in fair value of these warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and a gain of $21,378 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and a gain of $408 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and a loss of $128,525 for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

F-14

The fair value of 2010 Series B warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock was $16,762 and $8,789 at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The Company recognized a gain of $5,519 from the change in fair value of these warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and a gain of $2,700 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and a gain of $51 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and a loss of $16,244for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

In summary, the Company recorded a total amount of $86,691 of changes in fair value of warrants in the Consolidate statement of income and comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2011. Each reporting period, the change in fair value is recorded into Other income (expense).

Warrants referred to in the preceding paragraphs do not trade in an active securities market, and as such, the Company estimates the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

	December 31, 2011			September 30, 2011			June 30, 2011			March 31, 2011

Expected volatility		90	%		11	%		12	%		13	%

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.

The Company did not identify any other non-recurring assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that was accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011:

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 $1.30 - $2.00 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 years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:

	December 31, 2011		December 31, 2010
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding (basic)		22,418,101		17,323,979
Shares issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock		426,110		1,225,000
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding (diluted)		22,844,211		18,548,979
Net income available to common shareholders	$	2,944,152	$	1,149,570
Net income per shares of common stock (basic)	$	0.13	$	0.07
Net income per shares of common stock (diluted)	$	0.13	$	0.06

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company excluded 426,110 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of preferred stock, because such issuance would be anti-dilutive.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company excluded 1,229,200 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants, because such issuance would be anti-dilutive.

Accumulated other 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 years ended December 31, 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.

Reclassification

Certain 2010 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s financial statements presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the previously reported financial position, results of operations or cash flows .

Recent accounting pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This pronouncement was issued to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for level 3 fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments contained in ASU 2011-11 require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 results in changes to presentation and disclosure only and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

During December 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. The amendments contained in ASU 2011-12 supersede changes to those paragraphs in ASU 2011-05 that pertain to how, when and where reclassification adjustments are presented. The adoption of ASU 2011-12 will result in changes to presentation and disclosure only, and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

(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 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) on funds held in U.S. banks. The Company’s bank account in the United States is covered by FDIC insurance.

Because the Company’s operations are located in the PRC, this may give rise to significant foreign currency risks due to fluctuations in and the volatility of foreign exchange rates between U.S. dollars and 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.

Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2011.

Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.

Management conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, because of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2011.

Management’s Report of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”). Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, our management has concluded that during the periods covered by this Annual Report, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2011. During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, management identified significant deficiencies related to: (i) lack of entity level controls establishing a “tone at the top”, including but not limited to, communication between committee members and senior management regarding corporate decisions and planning; (ii) insufficient knowledge of accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both U.S. GAAP and SEC guidelines; (iii) an inadequate amount of review by management of the financial statement reporting process, including understanding and reporting all required disclosures necessary, by those in charge of corporate governance; (iv) lack of corporate governance policies in place, such as an internal audit function, fraud and risk assessment policies and a whistleblower policy; and (v) inadequate segregation of duties over certain information system access controls.

Based on these facts, the Company determined that the aggregation of these significant deficiencies represents a material weakness.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the Company’s financial reporting.

Our current internal accounting department responsible for financial reporting of the Company, on a consolidated basis, is relatively new to U.S. GAAP and the related internal control procedures required of U.S. public companies. Although our accounting staff is professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generally accepted in the PRC, management has determined that they require additional training and assistance in U.S. GAAP methods. Management has determined that our internal audit function is also significantly deficient due to insufficient resources to perform internal audit functions.

In order to correct the foregoing deficiencies, we are seeking to engage an experienced accountant or firm to assist us in establishing procedures that will enable us to have, on an ongoing basis, personnel who understand U.S. GAAP and the disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act. We are committed to the establishment of effective internal audit functions; however, due to the scarcity of qualified candidates with extensive experience in U.S. GAAP reporting and accounting in the region, we were not able to hire sufficient internal audit personnel in order to enable us to have such procedures and controls established by the end of December 31, 2011.

We believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the deficiencies identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate. However, as a result of these material weaknesses and deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting and disclosures made in our public filings, which would harm our business and the trading price of our stock.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No changes in the internal control over our financial reporting have come to management’s attention during our last fiscal year that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Controls

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
