NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY

The Company had a working capital surplus of $40,921,969 as of March 31, 2015, an increase of $1,719,285 from $39,202,684 as of December 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had credit lines from commercial banks of $42,073,678, all of which was used as of March 31, 2015. The Company believes that its cash flows generated internally may not be sufficient to support the growth of future operations and to repay short-term bank loans for the next twelve (12) months. However, the Company believes its cash reserves, including the proceeds of its $71 million registered direct offering financing completed on September 4, 2014, and its access to existing financing sources, including established relationships with PRC banks, will enable it to fund its ongoing operations.

The Company has historically financed its operations through short-term commercial bank loans from PRC banks. The term of these loans is typically for one year, and upon the payment of all outstanding principal and interest in a particular loan, the banks have typically rolled over the loan for additional one-year terms, with adjustments made to the interest rate to reflect prevailing market rates. The Company believes this situation has not changed and that short-term bank loans remain available on normal trade terms if needed.

On March 24, 2014, the Company raised approximately $11.05 million from the sale to two institutional investors of an aggregate of 606,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $18.24 per share. As part of the transaction, the Company also issued to the investors warrants for the purchase of up to 90,900 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $22.80 per share, with a term of 18 months from the date of issuance.

On September 4, 2014, the Company raised approximately $71.00 million before deducting fees to the placement agent and other offering expenses incurred from the sale to six institutional investors of an aggregate of 4,127,908 shares of its common stock at a price of $17.20 per share. As part of the transaction terms, the Company also issued to the investors warrants for the purchase of up to 743,024 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $21.50 per share, with a term of 17 months from the date of issuance.
