The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

CHINA RUITAI INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
 
1.           ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
China Ruitai International Holdings Co., Ltd. (“China Ruitai” or the “Company”) was initially organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 15, 1955 as Inland Mineral Resources Corp. The Company subsequently changed its name to Parker-Levitt Corporation, and in 1997 changed its name to Commercial Property Corporation, and in 2006 changed its name to Shandong Ruitai Chemical Co., Ltd. On March 12, 2007, the Company changed its name to China Ruitai International Holdings Co., Ltd. On February 26, 2007, the Company changed its fiscal year end from October 31 to December 31.
 
On August 29, 2007, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Pacific Capital Group Co., Ltd., (“Pacific Capital Group”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Vanuatu, and the stockholders of Pacific Capital Group (the “Stockholders”). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Stockholders agreed to transfer all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock in Pacific Capital Group to the Company in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 22,645,348 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Stockholders, thereby causing Pacific Capital Group to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and TaiAn RuiTai Cellulose Co., Ltd. (“TaiAn Ruitai”), Pacific Capital Group’s majority-owned operating subsidiary, a Chinese limited liability company, to become a majority owned subsidiary of the Company. The parties closed the share exchange contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement on November 8, 2007.
 
Pacific Capital Group was incorporated on November 23, 2006 under the laws of the Republic of Vanuatu as a holding company, for the purposes of seeking and consummating a merger or acquisition with a business entity.  On April 26, 2007, following the approval by the relevant governmental authorities in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), Pacific Capital Group acquired a 99% ownership interest in TaiAn Ruitai, which was formed in the PRC on November 10, 1999 with registered capital of $2,391,840. As a result of the transaction, TaiAn Ruitai became a 99% majority-owned subsidiary of Pacific Capital Group.
 
TaiAn Ruitai is the only one of these affiliated companies that is engaged in business operations. China RuiTai and Pacific Capital Group are holding companies, whose business is to hold an equity ownership interest in TaiAn Ruitai. TaiAn Ruitai is engaged in the production, sales, and exportation of deeply processed chemicals, with a primary focus on non-ionic cellulose ether products. TaiAn Ruitai’s assets exist solely in the PRC, and its revenues are derived from its operations therein.
 
2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of presentation
 
The consolidated interim financial information as of September 30, 2010 and for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to provide for fair presentation.  The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, previously filed with the SEC.
 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2010, its consolidated results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and its cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, as applicable, have been made.

Principle of consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include China Ruitai International Co., Ltd., Pacific Capital Group Co., Ltd. and TaiAn RuiTai Cellulose Co., Ltd. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Management evaluates the estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to accounts receivable and useful lives of property and equipment, fair values of warrant to purchase our common stock, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
 
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.  The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  Earlier application is permitted.  The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
In May 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-19, Foreign Currency (Topic 830): Foreign Currency Issues: Multiple Foreign Currency Exchange Rates.  The amendments in this Update are effective as of the announcement date of March 18, 2010. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-19 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
After May 2010, FASB issued several ASUs-ASU-20 through ASU-26, which do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statement upon adoption.

The Company has not recorded tax provision for U.S. and Vanuatu taxes as they have no assessable profits arising in or derived from United States or Vanuatu.
 
The Company has a deferred tax asset on net operating losses of approximately $184,280 as of September 30, 2010. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those net operating losses are available. The Company considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making its assessment. At present, the Company does not have a sufficient operation in the United States to conclude that it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be able to realize all of its tax benefits in the near future and therefore a valuation allowance of $184,280 was established for the full value of the deferred tax asset.
 
A valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal of any portion or all of the valuation allowance. Should the Company start operations in the United States in future periods with supportable trend, the valuation allowance will be reversed accordingly.

The Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC as well as by the general state of the PRC’s economy.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Results of Operations
 
The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and related Notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
 
Results of Operations for the Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to the Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2009
 
Revenue
 
Revenue.  During the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, we had revenues of $ 32,590,132 compared to revenues of $26,876,118 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 21.3%. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to: (i) a shift of our product portfolio into additional sales in high-priced products in the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics industries; and (ii) the expansion of our customer base.
 
Cost of Sales.  During the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, our cost of sales was $22,742,820 compared to costs of sales of $17,347,059 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 31.1%. This increase in cost of sales resulted primarily from the increase of sales and an overall increase in the cost of raw materials, particularly ginned cotton.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Our operating expenses are divided into selling expenses and general and administrative expenses, both of which are discussed below:
 
Selling Expenses.  Selling expenses, which consist of sales commissions, freight charges, travel and other selling expenses, totaled $1,322,299 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to selling expenses of $1,051,231 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 25.8%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in freight charges and commissions as a result of an increase in sales.

 
15

 
 
General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses totaled $936,328 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $2,014,852 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of approximately 53.5%. The main reason for the decrease was we collected several advances from suppliers and customer balances for accounts receivable in the first six months of 2010 which were previously written off as bad debt during the last year. This was also the result of management increasing its control of accounts receivables and advances to suppliers.
 
Income from Operations
 
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, our income from operations was $7,588,685 compared to income from operations of $6,462,976 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 17.4%. This increase was primarily attributable to a decrease in operating expenses and an increase in sales.
 
Commercial Leasing Income and Cost
 
Rental income was from a newly acquired commercial property in Beijing. On December 31, 2009, we entered into a set-off agreement with our related party, Shandong Ruitai Chemicals Co., Ltd (“Shandong Ruitai”).  TaiAn, our subsidiary, agreed to allow Shandong Ruitai to satisfy a total of $31,745,649 in debt owed by Shandong Ruitai in exchange for Shandong Ruitai’s transfer of 100% of its ownership interest in real property located in Beijing, China, commonly known as Taishan Building or Building No. 36, Xibahe Dongli, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China (the “Taishan Building”). As a result, starting in the first quarter of 2010, the Taishan Building has generated rental income of $920,724 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010.
 
Interest Income
 
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, our interest income was $834,077 compared to interest income of $1,676,899 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of approximately $842,822, or 50.3%. This decrease resulted primarily from the full repayment of the loan from our related party, Shandong Ruitai, on December 31, 2009, which reduced interest income from related parties.
 
Interest Expense
 
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, we incurred interest expense in the amount of $1,665,194 compared to interest expense of $2,032,410 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $367,216, or approximately 18.1%. The decrease in interest expense resulted primarily from the decrease in notes payable.
 
Income Tax Expense
 
Our income tax expense was $1,756,548 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $1,479,536 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $277,012, or approximately 18.7%.  This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in profits before income taxes and minority interest.
 
Net Income
 
We had net income of $5,289,658 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $4,438,606 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $851,052, or approximately 19.2%.  This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in sales revenue and a decrease in general and administrative expenses.

Results of Operations for the Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to the Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2009
 
Revenue
 
Revenue.  During the three month period ended September 30, 2010, we had revenues of $11,180,701 compared to revenues of $10,181,155 during the three month period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 9.8%. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to: (i) the increase of sales to the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics industries; (ii) our price increase in the third quarter resulted in lower sales from the high-priced elastic construction industry; and (iii) the gradual shift of our product portfolio resulted in less seasonality in the third quarter than we normally experience.
 
Cost of Sales.  During the three month period ended September 30, 2010, our cost of sales was $7,590,381 compared to costs of sales of $6,864,455 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 10.6%. This increase in cost of sales was primarily attributable to the increase in sales and an overall increase in the cost of raw materials, as the price of ginned cotton has more than doubled from $911 per ton for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 to $1,783 per ton for the three month period ended September 30, 2010; however, the price increase of ginned cotton is somewhat mitigated by the successful application of wood pulp as a raw material into the production process as wood pulp is one-third of the price of ginned cotton.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Our operating expenses are divided into selling expenses and general and administrative expenses, both of which are discussed below:
 
Selling Expenses.  Selling expenses, which consist of sales commissions, freight charges, travel and other selling expenses, totaled $432,914 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to selling expenses of $317,260 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 36.5%. This increase results primarily from an increase in freight charges and sales commissions as a result of an increase in sales.
 
General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses totaled $436,218 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $515,882 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of approximately 15.4%. The main reason for the decrease was the elimination of a consulting fee generated in the third quarter of 2009.  No similar expense occurred in the third quarter of 2010.
 
Income from Operations
 
For the three month period ended September 30, 2010, our income from operations was $2,721,188 compared to income from operations of $2,483,558 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 9.6%. This increase was primarily attributable to a slight increase in operating expenses and an increase in sales.
 
Commercial Leasing Income and Costs
 
Rental income was from a newly acquired commercial property in Beijing. On December 31, 2009, we entered into a set-off agreement with our related party, Shandong Ruitai.  TaiAn, our subsidiary, agreed to allow Shandong Ruitai to satisfy a total of $31,745,649 in debt owed by Shandong Ruitai in exchange for Shandong Ruitai’s transfer of 100% of its ownership interest in real property located in Beijing, China, commonly known as Taishan Building. As a result, starting in the first quarter of 2010, the Taishan Building has generated rental income of $305,767 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010.

Interest Income
 
For the three month period ended September 30, 2010, our interest income was $267,465 compared to interest income of $751,983 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of approximately $484,518, or 64.4%. This decrease resulted primarily from the full repayment of the loan from our related party, Shandong Ruitai, on December 31, 2009, which reduced interest income. However, the decrease of interest income was partially offset by the additional interest income generated from the bank deposit.
 
Interest Expense
 
For the three month period ended September 30, 2010, we incurred interest expense in the amount of $536,097 compared to interest expense of $783,328 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of approximately 31.6%. The decrease in interest expense resulted primarily from the decrease in notes payable for the three month period ended September 30, 2010.
 
Income Tax Expense
 
Our income tax expense was $633,170 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $607,985 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $25,185 or approximately 4.1%.  This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in profits before income taxes.
 
Net Income
 
We had net income of $1,899,510 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $1,823,953 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $75,557, or approximately 4.1%.  This increase is primarily attributable to a small increase in sales revenue mitigated by a simultaneous small increase in operating expenses.
 
Inventories
 
As of September 30, 2010, we had inventories of $7,552,949 compared to inventories of $8,132,681 as of December 30, 2009, a decrease of $579,732, or approximately 7.1%. The decrease in inventories from 2010 to 2009 was the result of an increase in our inventory control efficiency. We further improved our methods of control, especially in construction sales, to ensure minimum inventory production is precisely based on the orders from construction industry clients.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We anticipate that the existing cash and cash equivalents on hand, together with the net cash flows generated from our business activities, will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for our on-going projects and to sustain the business operations for the next twelve months.
 
Total Current Assets & Total Assets
 
As of September 30, 2010: (i) our total current assets were $58,522,674 compared to total current assets of $64,390,196 at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $5,867,522, or approximately 9.1%; and (ii) our total assets were $114,445,150 as of September 30, 2010 compared to $120,183,732 as of December 31, 2009, a decrease of $5,738,582, or approximately 4.8%.  Our total assets decreased due to changes that we experienced in cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted cash, and the selling of equity investments, all of which are discussed below.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents.  As of September 30, 2010, our cash and cash equivalents were $22,019,075 compared to $10,174,528 at December 31, 2009, an increase of $11,844,547, or approximately 116.4%.  This increase was primarily attributable to the increase of short term borrowings.
 
Accounts Receivable.  As of September 30, 2010, our accounts receivable were $8,086,338 compared to accounts receivable of $4,098,729 at December 31, 2009, an increase of $3,987,609, or approximately 97.3%. This increase was primarily attributable to our increase in sales.  In addition, we extended the accounts receivable collection period for our existing credit worthy customers and new customers while we further penetrate into the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics industries.

Restricted Cash.  As of September 30, 2010, our restricted cash was $16,766,400 compared to restricted cash of $33,054,466 at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $16,288,066, or approximately 49.3%.  This decrease was primarily attributable to a 48.5% decrease in notes payable.
 
Long-term Investment.  As of September 30, 2010, we did not have any long-term investments compared to long-term investments of $888,960 at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $888,960, or 100%.  This decrease was primarily attributable to our transfer of a long-term investment of $888,960 in Wenyang Xinyong Bank to Shandong Ruitai to reduce its loan from Shandong Ruitai by the same amount.
 
Total Current Liabilities
 
As of September 30, 2010, our total current liabilities were $86,499,058 compared to total current liabilities of $96,152,147 at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $9,653,089, or approximately 10%.  This decrease was primarily attributable to a 48.5% decrease of notes payable combined with the increase of short-term borrowing as discussed below.
 
Notes Payable.  As of September 30, 2010, our notes payable were $25,748,400 compared to notes payable of $50,020,476 as of December 31, 2009, a decrease of $24,272,076, or approximately 48.5%. This decrease was attributable to continued repayment of the notes payable outstanding.
 
Short-term bank loans.  As of September 30, 2010, short-term bank loans were $39,811,218 compared to short-term bank loans of $27,195,342 as of December 31, 2009, an increase of $12,615,876, or approximately 46.4%. The increase in our short-term bank loans was a result of our need to have enough cash for our working capital requirements.
 
Accounts Payable.  As of September 30, 2010, our accounts payable were $7,420,710 compared to accounts payable of $6,175,266 as of December 31, 2009, an increase of $1,245,444, or approximately 20.2%. The increase in our accounts payable was attributable to an increase in the purchase of the raw materials as a result of an increased number of sales orders.
 
Advance from customers.  As of September 30, 2010, our advance from customers was $1,350,051 compared to advance from customers of $127,419 as of December 31, 2009, an increase of $1,222,632, or approximately 959.5%. The increase in our advance from customers was attributable to an increase in demand of our non-ionic cellulose ether products.
 
Operating Activities
 
Net cash of $5,247,773 was provided by operating activities during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $16,056,204 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, representing a decrease of $10,808,431. The decrease in net cash provided by our operating activities was primarily attributable to the following four reasons: (i) a $16,769,400 increase in restricted cash for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 and a $1,057,036 decrease in restricted cash for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, which is a difference of $17,826,436. This reflects a decrease of restricted cash on the balance sheet which was a result of the decrease in restricted cash in proportion to the decrease in the notes payable; (ii) a $3,823,581 decrease in accounts receivable for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 and a $1,916,865 decrease in accounts receivable for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, which is a difference of $1,906,716. This reflects an increase of accounts receivable on the balance sheet as a result of better credit terms we extended to our new and existing pharmaceutical clients; (iii) a $25,007,000 decrease in notes payable for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 and a $11,691,617 increase in notes payable for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, which is a difference of $36,698,617. This reflects a decrease of the notes payable on the balance sheet due to our efforts to improve our debt to equity ratio; and (iv) there was a $5,696,019 increase in notes receivables for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 and no increase in notes receivables for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, which is a difference of $5,696,019.

Investing Activities
 
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, the net cash used in investing activities was $1,593,008 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $1,282,358 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $310,650 in the cash used in investing activities. The increase was due to an increase in the purchase of property and equipment for operating expansion.
 
Financing Activities
 
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, the net cash provided by financing activities was $7,749,892 compared to net cash used by financing activities of $9,793,631 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $17,543,523. This change in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to the net effect of the borrowing of $11,768,000 of bank loans and repayment of $4,046,323 to our related party.

Disclosure controls and procedures
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean the company's controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to principal executive and principal financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the objectives of timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports and of ensuring that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported with the time periods specified.  Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer also concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance of the achievement of these objectives.
