SHINER INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND 2011 (unaudited)

Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared by Shiner International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company” or “Shiner”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods.

The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.

Organization and Line of Business

“Shiner” was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 12, 2003. The Company, through its subsidiaries manufactures Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (“BOPP”) tobacco film, coated films, color printing products, advanced film, and water based coatings selling to customers throughout China, Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East and North America.

Noncontrolling Interest

On September 20, 2010, the Company commenced operations of a majority-owned subsidiary, Shanghai Juneng Functional Film Company, Ltd. (“Shanghai Juneng”), with Shanghai Shifu Film Material, Co., Ltd., (‘Shanghai Shifu”). Under the agreement, Shiner owns 70% of Shanghai Juneng, and Shanghai Shifu owns 30%. The general manager of Shanghai Juneng reports directly to Shiner’s Chief Executive Officer. Shanghai Juneng pursues sales opportunities among China’s leading food producers in the Yangtze River Delta, one of China’s largest economic centers.

On May 2, 2011, Shiner acquired 100% of the stock of Shimmer Sun Ltd. ("Shimmer") for $3.2 million. The Company paid $1.3 million in cash and the remaining $1.9 million was recorded as “other payables’ which was paid by September 30, 2011. The acquisition gave Shiner a 65% controlling interest in Shimmer's subsidiary, Ningbo Neisuoer Latex Co., Ltd. ("Ningbo"). The transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, with the purchase price allocated based on the fair value (“FV”) of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation,” which governs the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests (“NCIs”) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability, that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses, and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance. This standard also required changes to certain presentation and disclosure requirements.

The net income (loss) attributed to the NCI is separately designated in the accompanying statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). Losses attributable to the NCI in a subsidiary may exceed the NCI’s interests in the subsidiary’s equity. The excess attributable to the NCI is attributed to those interests. The NCI shall continue to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit NCI balance.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shiner International, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.

Foreign Currency Translation

The accounts of the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries are maintained in the RMB and the accounts of the U.S. parent company are maintained in the USD. The accounts of the Chinese subsidiaries are translated into USD in accordance with ASC Topic 830 “Foreign Currency Matters,” with the RMB as the functional currency. According to Topic 830, all assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statement of operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income.” Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operations.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Equivalents

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

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of monies restricted by the Company’s lender related to its outstanding debt obligations.

5


Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.

Advances to Suppliers

To insure a steady supply of raw materials, the Company is required from time to time to make cash advances when placing its purchase orders. Management determined that no reserve was necessary for advances to suppliers. The advances to suppliers are interest free and unsecured.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of the inventory’s cost (weighted average basis) or the current market price of the inventory. Management compares the cost of inventory with its market value and an allowance is made to write down inventory to market value, if lower.

Notes Receivable

Notes receivable consist of bank notes received from customers as payment of their accounts receivable. The notes are guaranteed by a bank and bear no interest. The notes are generally due within three months from the date of issuance.

Property and Equipment

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

Operating equipment 10 years
Vehicles 8 years
Office equipment 5 years
Buildings and improvements 20 years

The following are the details regarding the Company’s property and equipment at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (audited):

    September 30,     December 31,

  $  31,187,080   $  27,836,253  

Construction in Progress and Government Grants

Construction in progress mainly consists of amounts expended to build a manufacturing workshop in Hainan and a product line for a BOPP tobacco line. The costs incurred and capitalized as construction in progress at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are $5.3 million and $12.0 million, respectively, which includes the facility and the equipment. Once the project is completed, the project will be transferred from “Construction in progress” to “Property and equipment. The first phase of the project was completed during 2010. The total cost of the new Hainan manufacturing workshop and the BOPP tobacco line is expected to be $25.1 million. In October 2009, the Company received a government grant for this project of RMB29.1 million (or $4.3 million based on the exchange rate at December 31, 2009) from the Hainan Province Finance Bureau (“HPFB”). The Company is required to provide detailed expenses of the construction project to the HPFB. At the end of the project, the government will determine if the funds were used in accordance with the grant. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, the RMB29.1 million (or $4.5 million based on the exchange rate at September 30, 2012) government grant was recorded in “Other payables” on the accompanying consolidated financial statements (Note 6). If the government determines the funds were used for their intended purpose, the amount of the government grant is then amortized into other income over the useful life of the asset on the same basis used to depreciate the asset.

In December 2011, the Company received a government grant of RMB14 million (or $2.2 million based on the exchange rate of $0.1581 as of September 30, 2012) from the Haikou Finance Bureau (“HFB”) for the adjustment and expansion of our operation and related capital expenditures for construction and equipment purchase. The Company is required to provide detailed expenses of the construction project to HFB. At the end of the project, the government will determine if the funds were used in accordance with the grant. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, the grant was recorded in “Other payables” on the accompanying consolidated financial statements (Note 6). If the government determines the funds were used for their intended purpose, the amount of the government grant is then amortized into other income over the useful life of the asset on the same basis being used to depreciate the asset.

In Jan 2012, the Company received a government grant of RMB1.8 million (or $0.3 million based on the exchange rate of $0.1581 as of September 30, 2012) from the HFB for the adjustment and expansion of our operation and related capital expenditures for construction and equipment purchase. The Company is required to provide detailed expenses of the construction project to the HFB. At the end of the project, the government will determine if the funds were used in accordance with the grant. At September 30, 2012, the grant was recorded in “Other payables” on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If the government determines the funds were used for their intended purpose, the amount of the government grant is then amortized into other income over the useful life of the asset on the same basis being used to depreciate the asset.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company applies ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the FV of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that FVs are reduced to recognize the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, there was no significant impairment of its long-lived assets.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of rights to use three plots of land in Haikou City granted by the Municipal Administration of China for state-owned land. For two of these plots, the Company’s rights run through January 2059 and, for the third, the Company’s rights run through October 2060. The Company also acquired a patent with the acquisition of Shimmer that is being amortized over 10 years. The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible and other long-lived assets is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of purchase price over the underlying net assets of businesses acquired. Under accounting requirements, goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests, and more frequently if circumstances dictate. The impairment testing is based on the FV of the reporting units, which is estimated based on a discounted cash flow valuation model and the projected future cash flows of the underlying businesses. As of December 31, 2011 the Company performed the required impairment review which resulted in no impairment adjustments. The Company did not perform an impairment test at September 30, 2012.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their FVs due to their short maturities. In addition, the Company has long-term debt with financial institutions. The carrying amounts of the line of credit and other long-term liabilities approximate their FVs based on current rates of interest for instruments with similar characteristics.

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

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

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

  • Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology us one or more unobservable inputs which are significant to the FV measurement.

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

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (audited), respectively, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities required to be presented on the balance sheet at FV.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policies comply with FASB ASC Topic 605. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.

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

Sales and purchases are recorded net of VAT collected and paid. VAT taxes are not affected by the income tax holiday.

Sales returns and allowances was $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. The Company does not provide unconditional right of return, price protection or any other concessions to its dealers or other customers.

Other Income

The Company recognizes other income in the period the Company has earned the revenue and collectability is reasonably assured. Other income in 2011 consists primarily of subsidy income received from Chinese Government Agencies for developing technology and research and development. The Company must manage the funds according to government requirements. The Company recognizes the revenue over the contract period.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred or, as appropriate, the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, were not significant.

8


Research and Development

The Company expenses its research and development (“R&D”) costs as incurred. R&D costs included in general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $766,758 and $2,103,700, respectively, and $464,445 and $964,080 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” ASC Topic 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at FV at the grant date and recognize the expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date FV of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees. There were 90,000 options outstanding as of September 30, 2012.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with the ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock warrants were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. There were 90,000 options and 521,664 warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2012 with weighted-average exercise prices of $0.95 and $1.70, respectively. All options and warrants were excluded from the diluted loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 due to the dilutive effect. The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares (denominator) used in the basic and diluted EPS computations for three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

    Three Months Ended September 30,  
    2012     2011  
          Per Share           Per Share

Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income

US GAAP generally requires recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain statements, however, require entities to report specific changes in assets and liabilities, such as gain or loss on foreign currency translation, as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. The functional currency of the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries is the RMB. Translation gains of $5,648,859 and $5,426,393 (audited) at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, are classified as an item of other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets.

Statement of Cash Flows

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

Segment Reporting

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company determined it has five reportable segments. See Note 14.

Dividends

The Company's Chinese subsidiaries have restrictions on the payment of dividends to the Company. China has currency and capital transfer regulations that may require the Company's Chinese subsidiaries to comply with complex regulations for the movement of capital. These regulations include a public notice issued in October 2005 by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) requiring PRC residents, including both legal and natural persons, to register with the competent local SAFE branch before establishing or controlling any company outside of China. Although the Company believes its Chinese subsidiaries are in compliance with these regulations, should these regulations or the interpretation of them by courts or regulatory agencies change, the Company may not be able to pay dividends outside of China.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 to provide a consistent definition of FV and ensure the FV measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between US GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 changes certain FV measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 FV measurements. This guidance was effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a significant impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 220, Comprehensive Income, and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The new guidance does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12 which defers the requirement in ASU 2011-05 that companies present reclassification adjustments for each component of accumulated other comprehensive income in both net income and other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-05, as amended by ASU 2011-12, did not have a significant impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08 which provides an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step test for goodwill impairment. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not the FV of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The revised standard is effective for the Company for its annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

10


In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The ASU provides entities with an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If an entity concludes it is more than 50% likely that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is not impaired, no further analysis is required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, it would be required to determine the FV of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to measure the amount of impairment, if any, as currently required under US GAAP. The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

On August 2, 2010, Hainan Shiner Industrial Co., Ltd. (“Hainan Shiner”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a credit facility with the Hainan Branch of the Bank of China. The credit facility is a secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate of RMB70 million (or approximately $11.1 million based on the exchange rate on December 31, 2010) for seven years. Under the credit facility arrangement, Hainan Shiner may only use the loan proceeds to improve the technology of its BOPP film and to purchase certain equipment necessary for the improvement. Proceeds under the facility not used for these purposes would be subject to a misappropriation penalty interest rate that is 100% of the current interest rate on the loan.

The initial interest rate on each withdrawal from the facility will be the 5-year benchmark lending rate announced by the People’s Bank of China on the date of such withdrawal, and is subject to adjustment every 12 months based upon the benchmark. Additional interest will be paid on an overdue loan under this credit facility of 50% of the current interest rate on the loan. Hainan Shiner and certain of its affiliates, including the Company, have provided guarantees and certain land, buildings, and property as collateral under this facility.

The credit facility includes covenants that prohibit Hainan Shiner from making distributions to the Company, its sole shareholder, if (a) its after-tax net income for the fiscal year is zero or negative, (b) its after-tax net income is insufficient to make up its accumulated loss, (c) its income before tax is not utilized in paying off the capital, interest and expense of the lender, or (d) its income before tax is insufficient to pay the capital, interest and expense of the lender.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company drew down the entire RMB70 million credit facility.

Overview

We were incorporated in Nevada in November 2003, but since July 2007, have been headquartered in Hainan, China. Through our operating subsidiaries, Hainan Shiner, Shiny-Day, Hainan Modern, Zhuhai Modern, Shimmer Sun, Ningbo and Shanghai Juneng we manufacture and sell packaging and anti-counterfeit plastic film to manufacturers and producers in China. We sell anti-counterfeit film, coated film, and color printing, in international markets through a network of distributors and converters.

Our primary business consists of the manufacture and distribution of technology driven advanced packaging film products in five business segments: bi-axially oriented polypropylene, or BOPP, film for wrapping tobacco; water-based latex; coated film; color printed packaging; and advanced film. Our products are sold to customers in the food, tobacco, chemical, medical and pharmaceutical, personal care, electronics, automotive, construction, graphics, music and video publishing industries. Our current production capacity consists of: five coated film lines with a capacity of 15,000 tons a year; two BOPP tobacco film production lines with a capacity of 13,500 tons a year; one BOPP film production line with a capacity of 7,000 tons a year; three color printing lines; four anti-counterfeit film lines with a capacity of 2,500 tons a year; and two water-based latex reaction kettles with a capacity of 3,000 tons a year.

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased $1.9 million (or 10.2%), to $16.7 million compared to $18.6 million for the corresponding period in 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased revenues from coated film, color printing advanced film and water-based latex, which was partially offset by increase in revenues generated from BOPP tobacco. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, revenue from coated film revenue decreased $3.2 million (or 46.4%) to $3.7 million from $6.9 million for the corresponding period in 2011, and sales from color printing decreased $0.4 million (or 28.7%) to $1.0 million from $1.4 million for the corresponding period in 2011. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, revenue from BOPP tobacco increased $3.2 million (or 45.0%) to $10.3 million from $7.1 million for the corresponding period in 2011; revenue from advanced film decreased $1.4 million (or 46.0%) to $1.6 million from $3.0 million for the corresponding period in 2011; and revenue from water-based latex decreased $0.1 million (or 98.6%) to $0.01 million from $0.1 million for the corresponding period in 2011.

We sell or products both domestically and internationally. Our international sales are indirect sales through distributors and converters. For the three months ended in September 30, 2012, the division between our domestic and international sales remained substantially stable, as compared to the corresponding period in 2011. For the three months ended in September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, sales generated domestically accounted for 85.1% and 81.8%, respectively, of our total revenues for that period, and sales generated internationally from selling our advanced, coated film, and color printing, accounted for 14.9% and 18.2%, respectively, of our total revenues for that period.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold (“COGS”) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased $1.2 million (or 7.5%) from $16.5 million to $15.3 million for the corresponding period in 2011. The COGS was 91.3% and 88.6% of our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The principal cost component of our COGS is raw materials which includes petroleum. The increase in COGS year to year was primarily caused by an increase in raw material costs due to petroleum price fluctuations, an increase in the cost of labor, and the amortization of the added depreciation of Phase I of the Hainan manufacturing facility into the COGS. We estimate an increase in the price of crude oil of $10 per barrel would cause our raw material cost to increase by approximately 6%. There was some increase in the cost of our raw materials as a result of an increase in crude oil prices throughout the period. There has not been a significant difference in the COGS percentages among our different product lines and therefore, any increase or decrease in our raw material costs would be expected to have a similar impact to our different product lines’ profitability.

Packaging industry standards mandate the use of non-benzene based packaging products for food packaging. To be environmentally friendly and to improve work conditions in our factory, Shiner switched to non-benzene based ink products. This change also contributed to our compliance with the food safety laws, as our food packaging operations are conducted in the same facility. We had favorable feedback from all of our customers at the time.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $1.5 million, a profit margin of 8.7%, a decrease of 2.7% from 11.4% for the corresponding period in 2011. The decrease in profit margin was primarily a consequence of an increase in labor costs and depreciation of new property.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased by 40.6%, or $.7 million, to $2.5 million in 2012 compared to $1.8 million for the corresponding period in 2011. General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses include rent, management and staff salaries, insurance, marketing, accounting, legal, and research and development expenses (“R&D expenses”). Although we have strict standards to control our G&A expenses, we increased our R&D expenditures as compared to 2011. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was mainly due to a $0.3 million increase in R&D expense and a $0.7 million increase in bad debt allowance.

Loss on Sale and Write-off of Assets

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we sold certain machinery and equipment used by our Zhuhai subsidiary, for a loss of $1,510,215, and wrote off the value of other assets by $596,164.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense increased by 66.3%, or $180,938, to $453,880 in the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $272,942 in the corresponding period of 2011, primarily due to additional short-term and long-term loans.

Other Income

Other income decreased by $459,277 or 84.2% to $86,140 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $545,417 in the corresponding period of 2011. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we received $604,000 in subsidy income from Chinese Governmental Agencies for developing technology and R&D projects. We did not have these subsidies during the corresponding period of 2012.

20


Income Tax Expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded a tax benefit of $8,038 compared to a provision of $219,894 for the corresponding period of 2011. Our effective tax rates for 2012 and 2011 were 0% and 36%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is due to losses incurred by certain subsidiaries where the loss was not able to offset income generated by other subsidiaries.

Net Income

The decrease in our net income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the corresponding period of 2011 was mainly due to increased labor costs, depreciation of the new property.

Revenues

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased $1.9 million (or 3.6%), to $50.5 million compared to $52.4 million for the corresponding period in 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased revenues generated from coated film, color printing and advanced film, which was partially offset by increase in revenues generated from BOPP tobacco and water-based latex. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, there was a $8.2 million (or 35.8%) increase in sales from tobacco film and water-based latex (0.5% increase), which, however, was offset by significant decrease in sales from coated film (38.1% decrease), color printing (46.6% decrease) and advanced film (13.6% decrease) as compared to the sales for the corresponding period of 2011. For the nine month ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the corresponding period in 2011, revenue from advanced film decreased $0.8 million (or 13.6%) to $5.1 million, down from $5.9 million, revenue from BOPP tobacco increased $8.2 million (or 35.8%) to $31.0 million from $22.8 million, and revenue from water based latex increased $0.01 million (or 0.5%) to $0.3 million from $0.3 million. For the nine month ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the corresponding period in 2011, revenue from coated film decreased $7.1 million (or 38.1%) to $11.6 million from $18.8 million, and revenue from color printing decreased $2.1 million (or 46.6%) to $2.4 million from $4.5 million.

21


For the nine months ended in September 30, 2012, the division between our domestic and international sales remained stable compared to the corresponding period in 2011. For the nine months ended in September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, sales generated domestically accounted for 83.5% and 82.9%, respectively, of our total revenues for that period, and sales generated internationally from selling our advanced film, coated film, and color printing accounted for 16.5% and 17.1%, respectively, of our total revenues for that period.

Cost of Goods Sold

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the corresponding period in 2011, COGS increased $1.0 million (or 2.2%) from $45.4 million to $46.4 million. The COGS for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 accounted for 91.9% and 86.6% of our revenues for the corresponding period, respectively. As explained above, the increase in COGS was primarily caused by an increase in raw material costs due to petroleum price fluctuations, cost of labor, and the amortization of the added depreciation of Phase I of the Hainan manufacturing facility into the COGS.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $4.1 million, a profit margin of 8.1%, a decrease of 5.2% from 13.4% for the corresponding period in 2011. The decrease in profit margin was primarily a consequence of an increase our COGS as a result of increase in raw material costs, labor costs and depreciation of the new property.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our selling, G&A expenses increased by $2.6 million (or 62.8%) to $6.8 million compared to $4.2 million for the corresponding period in 2011. G&A expenses include rent, management and staff salaries, insurance, marketing, accounting, legal, and R&D expenses. Although we have strict standards to control our G&A expenses, we increased our R&D expenditures as compared to 2011. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was mainly due to an increase of $1.1 million in R&D expenses, an increase of $0.6 million in marketing expenses, and an increase of $0.7 million in bad debt provision.

Loss on Sale and Write-off of Assets

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we sold certain subsidiary assets for a loss of $1,510,215 and wrote off the value of other assets by $596,164.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense increased by $368,593 (or 54.3%) to $1,047,351 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $678,758 for the same period in 2011, primarily due to additional short-term and long-term loans, which have increased by approximately $3.7 million in 2012.

Other Income

Other income decreased by $337,581 (54.7%) to 279,669 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to income of $617,250 for the corresponding period in 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we received $759,000 in subsidy income from PRC governmental agencies for developing technology and R&D projects. We did not receive these subsidies during the 2012 period.

Income Tax Expense

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded a tax provision of $7,683 compared to $653,132 for the corresponding period in 2011. Our effective tax rates for 2012 and 2011 were 0.1% and 23%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was due to losses incurred by certain subsidiaries.

22


Net Income

We suffered a net loss of $5,500,107 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, representing a decrease of $7,687,548 (or 351.4%) from a net income of $2,187,441 for the corresponding period in 2011. The decrease in our net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the corresponding period of 2011 was mainly due to a decrease in revenue and increases in COGS and selling and G&A expenses and the loss on the sale and write-off of assets, which was partially offset by an increase in other income, as explained elsewhere in this report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2012, we had $3.6 million in cash and equivalents on hand, compared to $2.8 million at December 31, 2011, and we had working capital of $6.9 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $7.7 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease in working capital is primarily due to the use of current assets such as cash, other payables and short-term loans to purchase non-current assets. Our principal demands for liquidity are: increasing capacity, purchasing raw materials, sales distribution and the possible acquisition of new subsidiaries in our industry, as well as other general corporate purposes.

Below is a tabular summary of our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 (unaudited):

    2012     2011  
Net cash used in provided by operating activities $  (1,210,590 ) $  21,869  
Net cash used in investing activities   (1,737,306 )   (16,991,824 )
Net cash provided by financing activities   3,691,385     9,999,600  
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and equivalents   17,520     135,841  
Net (decrease)/increase in cash and equivalents   761,009     (6,834,514 )
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of the period   2,831,808     8,622,035  
Cash and cash equivalents at end of the period $  3,592,817   $  1,787,521  

Operating Activities

Net cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $1.2 million, an increase of $1.2 million, compared to net cash flow used by operating activities of $21,869 for the corresponding period in 2011. The increase in the use of cash in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the corresponding period in 2011, was comprised primarily of a decrease in net income of $7.8 million and adjustments as a result of changes in working capital components. The changes in working capital components that primarily contributed to the increase in cash flow used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were a decrease in accounts receivable of $2.1 million (or 58%) and a non-cash loss on the sale and write-off of assets of $2.1 million, which was partially offset by an decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.3 million (or 174%), and a decrease in unearned revenue of $1.5 million (or 121%). The decrease in our cash flow used in operating activities was largely due to the decrease in our income during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the corresponding period in 2011.

Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $1.7 million, a decrease of $15.2 million, compared to net cash flows used in investing activities of $17.0 million for the corresponding period in 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we invested $1.3 million in acquiring Shimmer Sun, and $8.8 million in purchasing property and equipment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we did not acquire any subsidiary and we only used $2.1 million for the acquisition of property and equipment. The property and equipment were purchased for the construction of a new BOPP film production line and a fully automated plant equipped with state-of-the-art production machinery, which commenced in 2010 and is still ongoing.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $3.7 million, a decrease of $6.3 million, compared to the corresponding period in 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the corresponding period in 2011, we decreased our net cash provided by financing activities by repaying $20.4 million of short term loans, an increase of $13.4 million from $7.0 million, and decreasing our proceeds from our long term loans from $9.2 million to $1.1 million, a decrease of $8.2 million. The foregoing decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was partially offset by our increase in proceeds from short-term loans to $23.0 million, an increase of $15.3 million from $7.8 million.

23


Assets

Our total assets as of September 30, 2012 were $75.5 million, a decrease of $2.3 million, compared to $77.7 million as of December 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of $1.5 million in our accounts receivable and an decrease in fixed assets of $3.4 million offset by an increase of $0.8 million in advances to suppliers and an increase of $0.9 million in our inventory due to higher costs of raw material. As of September 30, 2012, our accounts receivable decreased by $1.5 million (or 2.9%) compared with December 31, 2011. We intend to continue our efforts to maintain accounts receivable at reasonable levels in relation to our sales.

Loan Commitments

Our current liabilities increased by $2.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, principally due to the increase in short-term loan from $10.7 million as of December 31, 2011 to $13.4 million, an increase of $2.6 million, which was partially offset by the decrease in accounts payable of $0.5 million from $5.1 million to $4.6 million.

On August 2, 2010, Hainan Shiner, our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a credit facility with the Hainan Branch of the Bank of China. The credit facility is comprised of a seven-year 70 million RMB, or approximately $11.1 million, secured revolving credit facility. Hainan Shiner may not make any draws under this facility after September 30, 2012. On each of January 24, February 10, February 16, February 17, March 25, November 30, December 23, 2011 and March 19, 2012, Hainan Shiner made withdrawals on the credit facility of approximately $2.5 million, $2.6 million, $2.2 million, $1.2 million, $0.4 million, $0.2 million, $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Hainan Shiner may only use the loan proceeds to improve the technology of its BOPP film and to purchase certain equipment necessary for these improvements. Proceeds under the facility not used for these purposes may be subject to a misappropriation penalty interest rate of 100% of the current interest rate on the loan.

The initial interest rate on each withdrawal from the facility will be the 5-year benchmark lending rate announced by the People’s Bank of China on the date of such withdrawal, and is subject to adjustment every 12 months based upon this benchmark. Additional interest will be paid on any overdue loan under this credit facility of 50% of the current interest rate on the loan. Hainan Shiner and certain of its affiliates, including the Company, provided guarantees and certain land, buildings, and property as collateral under this facility.

The credit facility includes financial covenants that prohibit Hainan Shiner from making distributions to its sole shareholder if (a) its after-tax net income for the fiscal year is zero or negative, (b) its after-tax net income is insufficient to make up its accumulated loss for the last several fiscal years, (c) its income before tax is not utilized in paying off the capital, interest and expense of the lender, or (d) the income before tax is insufficient to pay the capital, interest and expense of the lender.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we paid approximately $20.4 million of our short-term loans and borrowed an additional $23.0 million in short-term loans. The current outstanding short-term notes become due through February 2013. We intend to meet our liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures related to the purchase of equipment, purchase of raw materials, and the expansion of our business, through cash flow provided by operations, and our current credit facility.

Obligations under Material Contracts

We have no material payment obligations other than the loan commitments disclosed above.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial conditions and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 which was issued to provide a consistent definition of fair value (“FV”) and ensure that the FV measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 changes certain FV measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 FV measurements. This guidance is effective for us beginning on January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a significant impact our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 220, Comprehensive Income, and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12 which defers the requirement in ASU 2011-05 that companies present reclassification adjustments for each component of accumulated other comprehensive income in both net income and other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-05, as amended by ASU 2011-12, did not have a significant impact our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08 which provides an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step test for goodwill impairment. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the FV of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The revised standard is effective for us for our annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have a significant impact our consolidated financial statements.

In July, 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The ASU provides entities with an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If an entity concludes that it is more than 50% likely that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is not impaired, no further analysis is required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, it would be required to determine the FV of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to measure the amount of actual impairment, if any, as currently required under US GAAP. The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Seasonality of our Sales

The first quarter of the calendar year is typically the slowest season of the year for us due to the Chinese New Year holiday. During this period, accounts receivable collection tends to be very slow and we also need to purchase raw material to prepare for upcoming busier seasons.
