NOTE 7 – NOTES PAYABLE

 

On September 30, 2010, the Company entered into a new revolving line of credit with a bank in the amount of RMB 25,000,000 (approximately $3.9 million), with the related note payable bearing interest at an annual rate of 7.216% (based upon 110% of the PRC government current short term rate of 6.56%). Advances on the line of credit are due one year from the date of the advance and collateralized by certain land use rights and buildings. The outstanding balance due under the revolving line of credit was RMB 25,000,000 (approximately $3.9 million) at June 30, 2011. This amount has been classified as short-term notes payable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2011. At June 30, 2011, the Company had no additional amounts available to it under the line of credit.

 

Fair Value of Notes Payable – Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities, the carrying amounts of notes payable outstanding at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 approximated their fair value because of either the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments or because the underlying instruments bear interest rates that approximated current market rates.
