PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview
Asia Electrical Power International Group Inc. (“AEPW”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 30, 2002 as “Berita International Corporation.” On December 24, 2003, we changed our name to “Keiji International Group Inc.” and on September 30, 2004, we changed our name to “Asia Electrical Power International Group Inc.
On January 23, 2003, we entered into an Asset and Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Shenzhen Naiji Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Naiji”), a PRC company whereby we acquired all the issued and outstanding stock of Naiji for consideration of 24,000,000 shares of our common stock.
The shareholders of Naiji unanimously approved the Agreement for the purposes of restructuring itself in anticipation of becoming listed on the OTC Bulletin Board. AEPW was formed by Naiji for this purpose. As a result, Naiji became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Prior to entering into the Agreement, we had no assets, liabilities, equity and had not issued any of our shares. In PRC, corporate ownership is determined by each shareholder’s proportionate capital contribution. As a result of entering into the Agreement, the shareholders of Naiji became the shareholders of AEPW in equal proportion wherein the 24,000,000 shares were allocated based on the capital contributions, or ownership of Naiji. The Agreement therefore was a non-arms length transaction.
Naiji has produced high and mid-voltage electrical switchgears since its inception in 1997.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, we generated a pre-tax income of $521,071 compared with a pre-tax net income of $129,400 for the 2008 fiscal year end period.
We are currently listed on the OTCBB under the symbol of “AEPW.”
Recent Events
On December 4, 2009, we filed a Schedule 13E-3 Transaction Statement including a Preliminary Information as an Exhibit with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with the approval by the board of directors of a reverse stock split of one share for each 500 shares of the Company’s common stock presently issued and outstanding. The purpose of the reverse stock split is to reduce the number of stockholders of the Company as part of a process to permit the Company to terminate operating as a “reporting company” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 because of the disproportionate expense in remaining a “public company” compared with any benefits the Company receives as a result thereof. A Definitive Schedule 14C Information Statement will be sent or made available to all stockholders before the Company carries out the reverse stock split. No proxies are being solicited in connection with this transaction since stockholders holding approximately 70.8% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company have voted in favor of the reverse stock split.
We intend to carry out the reverse stock split by filing an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada after the SEC approves the transaction disclosure documents and we complete the dissemination of transaction information materials to our stockholders. We also intend to file a final Schedule 13E-3 Transaction Statement and a Form 15 Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration with the SEC in order to effect the voluntary deregistration of our common stock after the reverse stock split is completed. For more information regarding the reverse stock split, please see our Schedule 13E-3 Transaction Statement, as amended, and the exhibits thereto, and Schedule 14C Preliminary Information Statement and the exhibits thereto, all of which were filed on March 11, 2010.

This product uses SF6 sulphurhexaflouride, a non-poisonous electronegative gas as insulation to protect the components. This product also has arc extinguishing properties through the use of circuit breakers. An arc is sparking which results when there are higher than normal levels of current and results in increased temperature in the unit. This occurs when the level of electricity used at one time exceeds a maximum level. The circuit breaker detects excessive power demands in a circuit and self-interrupts the arc when high levels of current occur. It is used primarily in connection with the generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of electric power.

Our product sales for 2009 are segregated as follows:
         
Product   Percent of Total Sales  
Switchgears
    40 %
Branch Cabinets
    14 %
Circuit Breakers
    46 %
During fiscal 2009 and 2008, domestic (PRC) sales comprised 99.3% and 98.3% respectively of total sales.
During fiscal 2009 and 2008, we spent approximately $162,619 and $32,775, respectively on research and development costs. We believe that amounts spent on research and development are necessary for us to remain competitive in the market, and thus, such amounts may not necessarily be passed on directly to our customers. Amounts spent to date complying with environmental regulations have been insignificant. We believe that we meet all environmental regulations, and not foresee environmental regulations having a material adverse impact on our business in the immediate future.
New Products
We endeavor to enhance our product line by improving existing products and/or introducing new products to the marketplace. We have developed and are currently testing gas insulated switchgears to be used in the power distribution system of power plants and sub-stations, as well as an enhancement to existing switchgears which would afford applicability to other markets, such as power plants. We expect to introduce both products during the fourth quarter of 2009. These new products will allow us to enter new markets and attract new customers.
Warranty
We offer a warranty program designed to attract and retain customers. During the first year following a product sale, we will replace or repair any product free of charge to the customer, including shipping charges. After the first year, for a period of nine years thereafter, we will repair any product free of labor charge within 24 hours after receiving the customer complaint. The customer is required, however, to pay for replacement parts.
Raw Materials
We purchase various finished products to manufacture and assemble our product line. We purchase metal enclosures which house our branch cabinets. We also purchase voltage and current transformers, indicators, fuse and fuse holders, and other finished products, which we assemble into finish products. The metal enclosures are purchased from Shenzhen Keji Electrical Equipment Manufacturing Co. Ltd. located in Shenzhen PRC. Our President is a major shareholder of this supplier, however, we believe that the product pricing from this supplier is consistent with pricing from other suppliers in the area. We purchase our finished goods from a variety of suppliers. While we may maintain single sources for some of the finished goods, we believe that other supply sources for such products are available if necessary at competitive pricing.

Marketing and Markets
We market our products principally through our internal sales team. We have a total of 45 sales personnel in our company located at 20 regional sales offices throughout PRC. We also have four sales managers that supervise the regional offices. Our sales persons are compensated on a salary basis coupled with a year end bonus based on achievement. All sales orders are directed to the operations office in Shenzhen where our products are manufactured and assembled.
Our main marketing strategies are premised on:
    The efforts of our sales staff to obtain new customers. Management oversees the efforts of our sales staff and makes adjustments to our marketing strategy as appropriate in response to market conditions. Management approves all marketing strategies carried out by our sales staff. We review monthly regional market reports of each branch office and make adjustments to our marketing strategies as market conditions vary. In addition to marketing to tradition commercial/residential customers, we also keep abreast of news and development in rural areas where contracts will be awarded to supply equipment for all aspects of electrical network implementation by the PRC.
    Effective client relations management to maintain our customer base and to encourage referrals through existing customers. In maintaining customer relations, our sales staff offer technical support, tend to customer service matters, and arrange for on site visits from our technical staff so that customer questions or concerns are addressed in a timely manner.
    Marketing campaigns launched throughout the PRC, promotional materials, and advertising in trade magazines and billboards and at trade exhibitions.
Management believes that our marketing strategies have been effective in achieving desired levels of revenues and therefore implementation of these strategies has been consistent. We also participate in industry exhibitions and trade fairs to be held from time to time in various regional cities in the PRC, including, Harbin, Shenyang, Beijing, Guangzhou, Jinan, Nanning and Shanghai.
Our targeted markets consist of:
    Residential and commercial developers or contractors which may require expansion of existing power systems to new areas. Our sales staffs regularly keep in contact with developers and contractors for future referrals to service any new development projects. We also seek new developers and contractors through referrals from existing customers, or community resources (newspapers, trade magazines, etc.).
    Wholesale manufactures who may make bulk purchases. We may offer a discount on bulk purchases and or discounts if we receive referrals from new customers. Manufacturers may keep promotional materials of ours in efforts to promote our products to their customer base.
    Electrical equipment installation companies who may refer us to potential customers. Installation companies who are also licensed electricians appointed by government authorities also have their own customer base from which we may receive referrals. We use a variety of installation companies as our products require installation by these licensed electricians and by disbursing our installation hires throughout the region; we introduce our products to these electricians who may refer our products to their customers.
    Electrical Bureaus of urban and rural cities who may award contracts to us to service various existing or new transportation developments such as airports, subway stations, etc. They also may require certain areas to be networked in order to distribute power to these areas. We keep abreast on new rural and urban developments and bid on contracts to service these areas which require development or expansion.

6


 

The majority of our marketing efforts tend to generate referrals from existing customers. We place an emphasis on providing what we believe to be a higher lever of customer service, specifically relating to our on site visits, and technical support.
Product Distribution
Within the Guangdong province, we distribute our products through our own fleet of vans. Approximately 30% of total sales are within the Guangdong province. We contract with freight forwarders to deliver our products outside of the Guangdong province. Our contracts with freight forwarders are generally for a period of one year. The freight forwarding industry in the PRC is highly competitive, and we believe that we can engage other freight companies if necessary. Our customers generally pay for shipping charges.
Competition
We encounter significant competition from other power transmission/distribution equipment companies that have been in the industry for a longer period of time and have a more extensive line of products than us. These industries are populated by many national or international companies, with significantly greater resources and name recognition than our company.
The major companies in the power transmission/distribution equipment market are ABB, Siemens, and Schneider Electric. In addition, other smaller manufacturers exist in this market throughout the region. There also are competitors that carry proprietary infringed products, or pirated products which are of lesser quality, resulting in a lower selling price. We believe that pricing is an important factor in competition; however, we also believe that customer service from inception throughout the life of the product is an equal factor in competition.
Our competitors may offer a lower price given they may have stronger purchasing power due to economies of scale of their raw materials. However, our selling price includes not only the product, but also encompasses the customer service we provide throughout the life of our product as well as a strong warranty program. Our customer service focuses on providing regular on-site visits to address customer questions or concerns. Most of our competitors, to the best of our knowledge, do not provide similar customer service. As a result, we believe that our customer attrition rate is low.
Trends in the market
With new developments in rural areas, the PRC will be accepting bids to service such areas to establish electrical networks. We anticipate such new developments may potentially increase our sales by 20% during fiscal 2010. A majority of our sales are generated through referrals from existing customer base. However with these new developments, we expect a substantial amount of our sales to be generated by fulfilling PRC contract bids to service rural areas in 2010.
Intellectual Property
     Patents
We carry one patent for our SRM 16-12/24 SF6 GIS Ring Main Unit. We obtained this patent from the National Intellectual Property Bureau in April 2000. The patent life is 10 years and expired on April 15, 2010. We patented this product because we expected to generate significant revenues from this model and desired to protect ourselves from piracy of the product. However, despite the patent, others have continuously pirated this product in the marketplace.

7


 

We do not carry any patents for our other products due to the cost of obtaining a patent outweighs the benefits as intellectual property laws in PRC are relatively new and enforcement to our knowledge is rare. Since PRC joined the World Trade Organization, the Trademark Law was amended in 2001 and Implementing Rules in late 2002, and amended its copyright law. Recent changes in the enforcement of copyright infringement in PRC have included stiffer penalties for patent, trademark or copyright infringement, the use of preliminary injunctions, and added criminal liability as an available remedy to trademark infringement.
     Trademarks
We do not have any registered trademarks or trade names.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
ITEM 2 PROPERTIES
Acquisition of Land Use Rights
In China, all land is owned by the State or, in the rural areas, by the local collectives. Chinese law allows a private party to acquire the right to use land and develop, utilize, and engage in business relating to the land, subject to certain limitations. Usually, land use rights are granted for specific purposes and for limited periods. Each period may be renewed at the expiration of the initial and any subsequent terms. Any changes in use of the land usually require approval by the government.
On September 7, 2004, we entered into an agreement with the PRC Government to lease approximately 3.77 hectares of land for the purpose of constructing new manufacturing facilities and office space. The lease term expires on January 19, 2056. In addition to the basic lease cost, the Company reimbursed the government for all improvements to the land, including surrounding roads, sewers, drainage, electrical and communication systems and compensated the former land use right holders for their losses of use of the land. All of these costs were fully paid.
The original leased area was 3.77 hectares. However, the area has been reduced to 3.06 hectares due to the city’s zoning regulation enacted for the expansion of transportation routes surrounding the leased land. We have been negotiating with the government for a refund due to the reduction of acreage.
Our Headquarters and Manufacturing Facilities
Our world headquarters and manufacturing facilities are located at Asia Electrical Power Industrial Zone, Songgang Road, Bao’an District, Shenzhen, China 518105. Our phone number is +86 755 2823 1993, and our fax number is +86 755 2823 1996. We completed the construction of our world headquarters and manufacturing facilities in September 2007. The total construction cost of the new facilities was approximately $3,800,000. There is no debt outstanding with respect to our facilities.
Our total facilities consist of 6 separate buildings located on 3.06 hectares. Building 1 consists of 7224 square meters and serves as our executive offices. [1 square foot equals 0.09290 square meters] Buildings 2, 3 and 4 consist of 8301, 11176 and 11176 square meters respectively, and serve as our manufacturing and assembly facilities. Buildings 5 and 6 are each 5192 square meters and are used as staff dormitories and recreational facilities. We believe that our facilities are modern, state of the art manufacturing facilities. We believe that these facilities are suitable for our administrative and manufacturing needs for the foreseeable future.
We have an administrative office located at E-4, Floor 3, Haijin Square, Taizi Road, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, China 518067. The space consists of 50 square meters and the monthly rent is approximately $500.
We also have 15 branch offices throughout PRC which we lease from unaffiliated third parties. We pay approximately $150 per month per office for rent. The leases are generally month to month.

OVERVIEW
Results of Operation
The following is an analysis of our revenues and gross profit, details and analysis of components of expenses, and variance from December 31, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008.
Revenues
                                 
    2009     % Sales     2008     % Sales  
Revenues
    20,848,514       100 %   $ 14,118,660       100 %
Cost of Sales
    16,597,830       80 %     11,714,350       83 %
Gross Profit
    4,250,684       20 %   $ 2,404,310       17 %
Our revenues for the 2009 fiscal year period were $20,848,514, which represents an increase of $6,729,854 (or 47.7%) from revenues of $14,118,660 for comparable 2008 year-end period. The increase in revenues reflects generally the impact of the PRC Government initiatives which promote business expansion nationwide, which in turn increases the demand for electrical networks, and also the increased economic activities when the current economic downturn is fading. The increase also reflects our marketing efforts implemented through our regional branch offices. Cost of Sales for the 2009 period was $16,597,830, which represents an increase of $4,883,480 (or 41.7%) from $11,714,350 for the 2008 year-end period. The increase in cost of sales reflects, on a percentage basis, the increase in revenues.
Expenses (selling and administrative expenses).
Selling and administrative expenses for the 2009 fiscal year were $3,730,012, which represents an increase of $2,407,156 (or 182%) from those of 2008.
                 
    2009     2008  
Travel and promotion
  $ 309,220     $ 248,251  
Research and development
    162,619       32,775  
Technical Support and warranty
    37,901       39,394  
Salaries and benefits
    717,370       509,689  
Depreciation and amortization
    352,913       242,684  
Executive salaries and bonuses
    1,720,000        
Other
    429,989       250,063  
 
           
Total Expenses
  $ 3,730,012     $ 1,322,856  
 
           
The increase in selling and administrative expenses for the 2009 period is due principally to increases in executive salaries and bonus as well as increases in other salaries and benefits and travel and promotion. The executive salaries and bonuses increases were approved by our board of directors and the purpose of which was to keep our principal executive officers compensated at the similar level of other comparable companies. The general salaries and benefits were also increased due to the hiring of additional staff to support our increased sales levels. The staff increase also includes additional sales personnel at our branch offices. Salary benefits consist of social insurance and union fees. Travel and promotion costs increased coincident with our extended efforts of improving sales.
Operating Income (Loss).
We generated operating income for the 2009 year end period of $520,672 compared with an operating income of $56,454 for the 2008 year-end period for the reasons discussed above.

Other Income and Expenses.
Other income was $249,217 for the 2009 year-end period compared with $117,243 for the 2008 period. Interest income which is income from amounts held on deposit was $9,602 for the 2009 year-end period compared with $28,248 for the 2008 year-end period. Interest expense was $149,410 for the 2009 year end period compared with $0 for the 2008 year-end period. Other expense for the 2009 period was $50,029 compared with $71,981 for the 2008 year-end period.
Foreign currency transaction loss.
Foreign exchange loss for 2009 amounted to $58,981 compared to a loss of $564 for the 2008 period. The increased loss reflects the increased purchases in euros, with unfavorable results.
Total Comprehensive Income (Loss).
For the 2009 fiscal year, we had a total comprehensive income of $302,645 compared to comprehensive income for the 2008 period of $845,242. The decrease is due to the reasons discussed above.
Income (Loss) Per Share.
Basic income per share applicable to common stock holders was $0.01 per share in 2009 period compared to a loss per share of less than $0.01 for the 2008 period.
Current Trends in the Industry.
We have experienced high competitive pressure since 2003 due to the increased supply of lower grade pirated products. We expect this trend to continue and, in order for us to retain our market share and increase and surpass revenues levels previously achieved, we will have to regain our competitive edge by directing resources into product innovation and refinement, research and development, marketing and advertising. We will also focus on maintaining good customer relations by providing what we believe to be a higher level of customer service. We hope to attract new customers by providing this level of service consistently throughout the life of the contract.
We have been able to retain our market share and expect to increase our customer base and level of sales with our existing methods of marketing, sales staff and customer service we provide. We view customer service as the most important factor in our marketing mix. As mentioned above “Trends in the Market”, with new developments in rural areas, the PRC will be accepting bids to service such areas to establish electrical networks. We anticipate such new developments will increase our sales by 20% during 2010 fiscal year. A majority of our sales are generated through existing customer base by referrals however with these new developments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
As of December 31, 2009, we had working capital of $2,697,076 compared to working capital of $2,208,696 as of December 31, 2008. The increase is due principally to the growth of accounts receivables, offset by the reclassification of a convertible note from a long-term liability to a current liability and the increase in accounts payables.
Over the next 12 months, we will require approximately $12,000,000 to sustain our working capital needs as follows based on projected sales of $20,000,000:
         
Materials, Labor, Overhead
  $ 10,200,000  
Selling Expenses and Administrative Expenses
    1,800,000  
 
     
Total
  $ 12,000,000  
Sources of Capital.
We expect our revenues generated from operations to cover our projected working capital needs; however, if additional capital is needed, we will explore financing options such as shareholder loans. Shareholder loans are without stated terms of repayment. In the past, we have been charged interest at the rate of 6% per annum. We have no formal agreement that ensures that we will receive such loans. In the event shareholder loans are not available, we may seek long or short term financing from local banks.

14


 

We do not have any credit facilities with any lender.
Plans for Expansion.
None.
We do not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that are likely to have a material impact on our short-term or long-term liquidity other than those factors discussed above.
Material Commitments.
We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.
Seasonal Aspects.
Our business is seasonal in that sales are particularly low in February, due to the Chinese New Year holiday, during which time our business is closed up to 2 weeks. Sales in March are usually higher than usual levels as a result.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements.
We have no off balance sheet arrangements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES.
Critical Accounting Estimates.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The application of GAAP involves the exercise of varying degrees of judgment. The resulting accounting estimates will not always precisely equal the related actual results. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:
    Assumptions are required to be made, and
 
    Changes in estimates could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.
The following table presents information about our most critical accounting estimates and the effects of hypothetical changes in the assumptions used when making such estimates:
                 
Balance Sheet   There is a risk of   How did we arrive   How accurate have we   How likely to change in
Account   change because?   at these Estimates?   been in the past?   the future?
Accounts
Receivable
  We provide an Allowance For Doubtful Accounts (AFDA) based on the age of each account. Uncollectible accounts are also written off, particularly when bankruptcy occurs.   AFDA provisions are made by analyzing agings of the accounts receivable.   These estimates of AFDA have been accurate in the past.   This method of determining AFDA will likely not change as the method used has provided accurate results.
 
               
Inventory
  We review the net realizable value of our inventory to ensure that it is recorded at a lower of cost or market value. At this time, any obsolete inventory is written off. The market value could change due to the success of technical innovation on our part or by competitors within the switchgear Market.   The cost of our inventory (including manufacturing Overhead) is compared to net realizable value in the market.   Our procedure has produced reliable results.   We do not expect any change in procedure.
 
               
Fixed Assets
  We calculate our depreciation using the straight line method based on useful lives of the assets. The useful lives of the asset could change due to technical innovation and or other factors and we may write off or write down obsolete assets.   The estimated lives of fixed assets are based on guidelines provided by Chinese tax authorities.   We believe our depreciation method has produced accurate results.   We do not foresee any changes.
 
               
Accrued Liabilities
(Income Tax)
  We are subject to income taxes in China. The determination of the tax liability is based on calculations which are further based on estimates such as, for example, allowances for bad debt. These estimates may change from time to time and the final tax outcome may increase or decrease our income tax expense provision made.   Income tax provision is calculated based on the statutory tax rate and level of operating income. Operating income is partially based on various estimates.

These estimates may differ from actual results. This calculation is made monthly and installments are made toward the tax liability.
  Our estimates currently have been in line with the actual assessment in our tax liability. Income tax provisions are calculated monthly.   Our estimates may change from time to time and this may affect the income tax provision. We may under or over remit our installments based on how our estimates differ from actual results.

Revenue Recognition.
Revenue is recognized when the product is delivered to customers. In determining delivery, consideration is given to the following: whether an arrangement exists with the buyer; whether delivery has occurred; whether the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and that collection is reasonably assured. No provision is made for any right of return that may exist as the criteria specified in pronouncement of the Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) have been met.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean a company’s controls and other procedures 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 Commission’s rules and forms. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded, based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures by our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for this purpose, except as noted below under “Changes in Internal Controls.”
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
The management of Asia Electrical Power International Group Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
As of December 31, 2009, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in “Internal Control- Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations “(“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment including an evaluation of the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and testing the operational effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting.
Based on this assessment, management determined that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal controls over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
This Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal controls over financial reporting. The disclosure contained under this Item 9A(T) was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only the disclosure under this Item 9A(T) in this Report.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.
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 management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to enable us to accurately record, process, summarize and report certain information required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings, and to accumulate and communicate to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Prior to the issuance of our financial statements, we completed the account reconciliations, analyses and our management review such that we can certify that the information contained in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, fairly presents, in all material respects, the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

The options granted to each recipient were bifurcated, with half expiring June 30, 2009 and the other half expiring December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, none of the granted options were exercised and therefore all the granted options have expired.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On January 23, 2003, we entered into an agreement with Shenzhen Naiji Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Naiji”), a PRC corporation, whereby we acquired all the issued and outstanding stock of Naiji in return for 24,000,000 shares of our common stock. As a result, Naiji became our wholly-owned subsidiary. As a result of entering into the agreement, the shareholders of Naiji became our shareholders in equal proportion. The agreement therefore was a non-arms length transaction. In 2006, Naiji changed its name to the current name Asia Electrical Power Equipment (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.
Effective December 22, 2006, we issued 5,000,000 shares of our newly created preferred stock, par value $0.001, to Yulong Guo, our President. The preferred stock has 100 for 1 voting rights on matters subject to vote. On that same date, we also issued 2,500,000 and 500,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Yulong Guo (our President and CEO) and Xiaoling Chen (our Secretary and Director), respectively. The shares were issued in consideration of the cancellation of $4,199,540 in the outstanding loans from a company controlled by our President (the “Affiliate”). These loans were supplemented by a $388,062 advance to the Affiliate and this advance remained outstanding as of December 31, 2007.
During 2008, the Affiliate made three advances to the Company, which totaled $618,330, and received a payment from the Company of $1,438,000. This payment to the Affiliate exceeded the balance previously due resulting in a $920,500 receivable from the Affiliate on the books of the Company at the end of 2008.
During 2009, the Company made an additional advance to the Affiliate in the amount of $1,797,806 and the Affiliate committed to fully pay on behalf of the Company certain Company obligations totaling $2,718,306. This fully satisfied the account payable balance of the Affiliate.

23


 

The President of the Company, who is also a significant shareholder of the Company, owns 39% of the equity interests of a major supplier. The Company made purchases from that supplier of $4,614,853 during 2009 and $3,865,480 during 2008. There was an outstanding balance due to that supplier at December 31, 2009 of $1,932,488.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Below is the aggregate amount of fees billed for professional services rendered by our principal accountants with respect to the Company’s last two fiscal years:
                 
    2009     2008

  $ 30,000     $ 39,000  
Audit-Related Fees
    0       0  
Tax Fees
    0        
All Other Fees
    0       0  
Total
  $ 30,000     $ 39,000  
 
           
All of the professional services rendered by principal accountants for the audit of the our annual financial statements that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for last two fiscal years were approved by our board of directors.
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
We do not have an audit committee and as a result, our entire board of directors performs the duty of an audit committee. Prior to engaging our accountants to perform a particular service, our board of directors obtains an estimate for the service to be performed. All of the services described above were approved by the board of directors in accordance with its procedures.
Maintaining Principal Accountant’s Independence
The board of directors has considered whether the provision of the services described above are compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence and believes that such services do not compromise that independence.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008 AND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Asia Electrical Power International Group Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Asia Electrical Power International Group Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted the audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate under 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. An audit also includes 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 Asia Electrical Power International Group Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

ASIA ELECTRICAL POWER INTERNATIONAL GROUP INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009
1. ORGANIZATION and BUSINESS
     Organization of Company
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 30, 2002 as Berita International Corporation, for the purpose of producing high and mid-voltage electrical switchgears in the People’s Republic of China (China). On December 24, 2003, the Company changed its name to Keiji International Group Inc. (Keiji) and on September 30, 2004 the Company changed its name to Asia Electrical Power International Group Inc. (the Company).
On January 23, 2003, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the Agreement) to exchange 24,000,000 of its common shares for all of the equity interests of Shenzhen Naiji Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd. (Naiji), a company incorporated in China. This transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger, with Naiji treated as the acquiring company. As a result of the merger, prior financial information was restated. Subsequent to that date, the operations of the Company reflect the combined operations of the Company and Naiji. The Company had no assets or liabilities on the date of the merger, so no allocation of the purchase price was made. As a further result of the merger, the shareholders of Naiji became the shareholders of the Company.
     Business
Naiji was incorporated in June 1997. All of its operations and sales are within China. The Company has produced high and mid-voltage electrical switchgears since its inception. Prior to the merger with Naiji, the Company had no operating history and had no assets, liabilities, or equity and had not issued any of its shares. As a result of entering into the Agreement, the shareholders of Naiji became the shareholders of the Company.
     Risks and Uncertainties
The Company operates under authority of a business license which was granted June 20, 1997 and expires in the year 2022. Renewal of the license depends on the result of government inspections which are made to ensure environmental laws are not breeched.
The officers of the Company control, through a combination of direct ownership and a shareholder trust, most of the outstanding stock of the Company. As a result, insiders will be able to control the outcome of all matters requiring stockholder approval and will be able to elect all of the Company directors.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     Consolidated Statements
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Naiji. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
     Cash
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all short term debt securities purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
     Concentrations Of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. However, all Company assets are located in China, and Company cash balances are on deposit at financial institutions in China, the currency of which is not free trading. Foreign exchange transactions are required to be conducted through institutions authorized by the Chinese government and there is no guaranty that Chinese currency can be converted to U.S. or other currencies.
     Recognition Of Revenue
Revenue is recognized when product is delivered to customers. In determining delivery, consideration is given to the following: whether an arrangement exists with the buyer; whether delivery has occurred; whether the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and that collection is reasonably assured. No provision is made for any right of return that may exist as the criteria specified in pronouncements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) have been met.

     Fair Value Of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, advances to suppliers, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other liabilities, approximate their fair values at December 31, 2009..
     Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined on the first in, first out, basis.
At December 31, 2009 and 2008, inventories consisted of the following:
                 
    2009     2008  
Raw materials
  $ 1,266,569     $ 1,070,138  
Work in process
    578,181       398,658  
Finished goods
    1,006,976       821,674  
 
           
Total
  $ 2,851,726     $ 2,290,470  
 
           
     Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight line method, with lives of twenty years for buildings, ten years for production equipment, and five years for office furniture and equipment and for automobiles.
     Taxes
Naiji generates its income in China where Value Added Tax, Income Tax, City Construction and Development Tax and Education Surcharge taxes are applicable. Neither the Company, nor Naiji conduct any of its operations in the U.S.; therefore, U.S. taxes are not applicable.
     Use Of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimated.
     Common Stock
Common stock of the Company is occasionally issued in return for services. Values are assigned to these issuances equal to the market value of the common stock at measurement date. Measurement date is defined under pronouncements of the FASB which state the criteria to be used for the valuation of stock issued for goods and services.
     Stock Options
Stock options are valued at fair value on the dates of issuance using a Black Scholes valuation model, in accordance with the pronouncements of the FASB.
     Allowance For Doubtful Accounts
Provisions are periodically made for doubtful accounts based on evaluation of the ages of the items making up the accounts receivable balances and their creditworthiness.
     Other Comprehensive Income
The Company reports as other comprehensive income revenues, expenses, and gains and losses that are not included in the determination of net income. Resultant gains and (losses) during the years 2009 or 2008 amounted to $27,449 and $827,565, respectively.

     Foreign Currency Translation
All Company assets are located in China. These assets and related liabilities are recorded on the books of the Company in the currency of China (Renminbi), which is the functional currency. They are translated into US dollars as follows:
(a)   Assets and liabilities, at the rates of exchange in effect at balance sheet dates;
 
(b)   Equity accounts, at the exchange rates prevailing at the times of the transactions that established the equity accounts; and
 
(c)   Revenues and expenses, at the average rate of exchange for each year.
Gains and losses arising from this translation of foreign currency are included in other comprehensive income.
     Product Warranties
The Company provides product warranties for approximately ten percent of the products sold. The cost of servicing these warranties has not been significant and it is recorded only as incurred.
     Net Income Per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per common share in accordance with pronouncements of the FASB and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”). Under these pronouncements, provisions of SFAS No. 128 and SAB 98, basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share are computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The number of weighted average shares outstanding for the calculation of basic earnings per share will differ from the number of shares for diluted earnings per share calculation, reflecting potential conversions to common stock as long the impact is not anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2008, there were outstanding options and a convertible note payable. These have not been included in the calculation of earnings per share for the year 2008, as to do so would have an anti dilutive effect. The options were not included in the calculation of the diluted earnings per share for 2009 as the exercise price exceeded the average stock price. The potential conversion of shares from the convertible note was included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for 2009.
     Advertising Cost
The Company expenses advertising costs when an advertisement occurs. Amounts expensed were $9,034 during 2009 and $16,370 during 2008.
     Segment Reporting
Management treats the operations of the Company as one segment.
     Research and Development
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs are also expensed unless, in the Company’s view, they meet specific criteria related to technical, market and financial feasibility, in which case they are deferred and amortized. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related products. Through December 31, 2009, the Company had not incurred any research costs which would be required to be amortized. Research and development expenses in 2009 were $162,619 and in 2008 were $32,775.
3. STATUTORY RESERVE
As required by the Chinese law that governs accounting, the Company allocates 10% of its previous year’s after tax profits, if any, to a Statutory Reserve Fund and 5% to a Statutory Public Welfare Fund as determined from year to year. These funds are allocated appropriately until reserves reach 50% of Paid in Capital.
4. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The balance of accounts receivable has been reduced by a provision for doubtful accounts in the amount of $354,374 in 2009 and $345,381 in 2008.

5. LAND USE RIGHT
On September 7, 2004, Naiji entered into an agreement to lease 3.77 hectares of land from the Government of China for a period of 50 years. The total cost of the lease was $2,791,248. This amount has been fully paid. The lease term expires January 19, 2056.
The cost of the land use right is being amortized over its 50 year term. This amortization was capitalized during the period of construction of the office and production facilities, which were completed during 2007.
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Capital stock of 3,000,000 common shares and 5,000,000 preferred shares was issued during 2006 to the Company president and its secretary, who are also substantial Company shareholders. Consideration for these issuances was principally the elimination of $4,199,540 of outstanding loans from a company controlled by the Company president (Affiliate). These loans were supplemented by a $388,062 advance to the shareholders. This advance remained outstanding at December 31, 2007.
During 2008, the Affiliate made three additional advances to the Company, which totaled $618,330, and received a payment from the Company of $1,438,000. This payment to the Affiliate exceeded the balance previously due, resulting in a $920,500 receivable from the Affiliate on the books of the Company at the end of 2008.
During 2009, the Company made another payment to the Affiliate in the amount of $1,797,806 and the Affiliate committed to fully pay on behalf of the Company certain Company obligations totaling $2,718,306. This fully satisfied the account balance of the Affiliate.
The president of the Company, who is also a significant shareholder, owns 39% of the equity interests of a major supplier. The Company made purchases from that supplier of $4,614,853 during 2009 and $3,865,480 during 2008. There was an outstanding balance due to that supplier at December 31, 2009 of $1,932,488.
7. STOCK OPTIONS
On April 24, 2007, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of a stock option plan (“the 2007 Plan”) under which a total of 5,000,000 options to purchase Company common stock could be granted to officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The full number of authorized options were granted on June 13, 2007; these options are fully vested. Initially, the exercise price was $3 per share and the options were scheduled to expire on June 30, 2009. The “value of the options, $1,908,333, was determined by a Black Scholes valuation model and charged to expense in 2007.
The exercise price was changed to $1.50 per share effective February 29, 2008, and to $.50 per share effective November 26, 2008. The option period was also modified so that 50% of the options expire June 30, 2009 and the remaining 50% expired December 31, 2009.
The change in exercise price to $1.50 was also evaluated by a Black Scholes valuation model. Its value, $1,025,000, was charged to expense in 2008. The following table summarizes the assumptions used in this second Black Scholes valuation.
     
Dividend Yield
  0.0%
Expected volatility
  73%
Risk free interest rate
  1.33%
Expected term (in years)
  .12 yrs. To .17 yrs
The weighted average fair value of options granted was $.28.
With the expiration of the Companies’ options, initially issued in 2007 and modified in 2008, the value has been transferred to paid in capital.

8. RENTALS UNDER OPERATING LEASES
The Company conducts its operations from its principal business office in Shenzhen China. Until September 2007, office and manufacturing space was leased under an operating lease which expired in 2007. The Company also has administrative branch offices throughout the China region and this space is rented from month to month. Rental expense during 2009 and 2008 was $5,993 and $811, respectively.
9. CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE
The Company has issued a convertible promissory note in return for $1,545,483. The note is due December 31, 2010 and does not bear interest. The holder of the note has the option, at maturity, to convert the note to common stock at a conversion rate equal to the then market value per share of Company common stock, less 20%. The discount associated with this beneficial conversion is being amortized with the amortization charged to interest expense. The expense associated therewith was $149,650 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
10. INCOME TAXES
During 2006, the legal status of the Company within China was changed from a private company to a foreign investment company. That change in status entitles the Company to preferential income tax treatment. During the years 2006 and 2007, the Company was exempt from income taxes; during the years 2008, 2009, and 2010, the Company will have a 50% exemption from income taxes. As a condition of these exemptions, the Company was required to return refunds it had received for the years 2004 and 2005. These totaled $60,219. Additionally, the Company had previously accrued deferred tax assets of $31,997. The length of the new tax exemption makes less certain the recoverability of these deferrals, so a valuation reserve was provided during 2006 to offset these deferred tax assets.
A reconciliation of the tax calculated by applying the Chinese statutory tax rate to pretax income with the provisions for income taxes is presented below.

10. INCOME TAXES (CONT’D)
Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, recognition of deferred tax assets is permitted unless it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. The Company provided in 2005 for a number of expenses on the books which are different in timing from their deductibility for income taxes. The principal item among them is a provision for bad debts. The tax effects of these expenses have been accrued as deferred tax assets. As described above, a valuation reserve was provided during 2006 to offset these deferred tax assets, as follows:
         
Deferred tax assets
  $ 31,997  
Valuation reserve
    31,997

During 2008, the existing options to purchase company stock were modified at a cost of $1,025,000. During 2009, there were no non-cash investing or financing activities.
13. RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Management believes that none of the recently adopted accounting pronouncements will have a material affect on the Company financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
14. CONTINGENCIES
Consistent with business practices in China, the Company carries no insurance except for auto insurance.
15. INTENTION TO BECOME PRIVATE COMPANY
The Company filed a Schedule 13E-3 which was later amended on March 11, 2010, in accordance with SEC regulations announcing its intention to “go private” and their intent to execute a “reverse stock split” (1 for 500 shares) whereby fractional shares (less than 1 post split share) will be redeemed at a specified price of $.068 per share.
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In May, 2009, the FASB issued a pronouncement which established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The Company included the requirements of this guidance in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements, and concluded its review on the date of issuance of these financial statements.
