Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On April 14, 2008, Pacific Goldrim Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), entered into and consummated a series of agreements which resulted in the acquisition of all of share capital of Shenyang Taiyu Machinery & Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd, a plate heat exchange products company organized under the laws of the People's Republic of China ("Taiyu"), the divestiture of the Company's prior exploration business, and the change of the Company's name to SmartHeat Inc.
 
The name change was accomplished on April 14, 2008 by merging the Company's wholly owned subsidiary SmartHeat Inc., a Nevada corporation ("SmartHeat"), into the Company.
 
The acquisition of Taiyu's share capital was accomplished pursuant to the terms of a Share Exchange Agreement dated April 14, 2008 (the "Share Exchange Agreement") by and among SmartHeat, Taiyu and all of the shareholders of Taiyu (the "Taiyu Shareholders").  At the closing under the Share Exchange Agreement all of the equitable and legal rights, title and interests in and to Taiyu's share capital in the amount of Yuan 25,000,000 was exchanged for an aggregate of 18,500,000 shares of SmartHeat common stock (the "Share Exchange").  As a result of the Share Exchange, Taiyu became a wholly-owned subsidiary of SmartHeat.
 
In addition, the following actions occurred under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement:
 
 
·
Immediately following the closing of the Share Exchange, the Company transferred all of its pre-closing assets and liabilities (other than the obligation to pay a $10,000 fee to the Company's audit firm) to a wholly owned subsidiary, PGR Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("SplitCo"), under the terms of an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations dated April 14, 2008 (the "Transfer Agreement").  The Company also sold all of the outstanding capital stock of SplitCo to Jason Schlombs (the former director and officer, and a major shareholder, of the Company) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 14, 2008 (the "Split-Off Agreement") in exchange for the surrender of 2,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock held by Mr. Schlombs (the "Split-Off").
 
 
·
As a condition to the closing of the Share Exchange, Mr. Jun Wang, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Taiyu was appointed to the board of directors of the Company and Mr. Schlombs, the former sole member of the board of directors of the Company resigned, effective as of the close of business on April 15, 2008. As a requirement to listing the Company's common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market or other exchange, the Company will seek to add additional independent directors and increase the size of the board of directors following the Share Exchange.  The board's composition (and that of its committees) will be subject to the corporate governance provisions of its primary trading market, including the requirement for appointment of independent directors in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and regulations adopted by the SEC and NASD pursuant thereto.
 
 
·
Also as a condition to the closing of the Share Exchange, Mr. Schlombs resigned as the President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company and Mr. Jun Wang was appointed as President and Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Zhijuan Guo was appointed as Chief Financial Officer and Ms. Huajun Ai was appointed as Corporate Secretary.

Each of the Share Exchange Agreement, Transfer Agreement, and Split-Off Agreement contained such representations, warranties, obligations and conditions as are customary for transactions of the type governed by such agreements.
 
As a result of the Share Exchange and the cancellation of the 2,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the Split-Off Agreement, there are 22,549,900 shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding, approximately 82.04% of which are held by the former Taiyu Shareholders.  The shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the completion of these transactions hold the remaining 17.96% of the issued and outstanding share capital of SmartHeat.
 
As of the date of the Share Exchange Agreement and currently, there were no material relationships between the Company and Taiyu, or any of their respective affiliates, directors or officers, or any associates of their respective officers or directors, other than in respect of the Share Exchange Agreement.
 
The foregoing description of the Share Exchange Agreement, Transfer Agreement, and Split-Off Agreement do not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Share Exchange Agreement, Transfer Agreement, and Split-Off Agreement which are filed as exhibits hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition of Disposition of Assets
 
The Share Exchange
 
The Share Exchange
 
On April 14, 2008, the Company entered into the Share Exchange Agreement with Taiyu and the Taiyu Shareholders.  Upon closing of the Share Exchange on April 14, 2008, the Company acquired all of the equitable and legal rights, title and interests in and to the share capital of Taiyu and Taiyu became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, at closing, the Taiyu Shareholders received an aggregate of 18,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for all of their equitable and legal rights, title and interests in and to Taiyu's share capital in the amount of Yuan 25,000,000.
 
Immediately following the closing of the Share Exchange, under the terms of the Transfer Agreement, except for fees up to an amount of $10,000 due and owing to the Company's audit firm as of April 14, 2008, the Company transferred all of its pre-closing assets and liabilities to SplitCo.  Immediately thereafter pursuant to the Split-Off Agreement, the Company transferred all of its interest in SplitCo to Mr. Schlombs in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of 2,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock held by him.  After giving effect to the cancellation of those shares in the Split-Off, the stockholders of the Company immediately preceding the Share Exchange held 4,049,900 shares of the Company's common stock before giving effect to the stock issuances in the Share Exchange.  Such 4,049,900 shares constitute the Company's "public float" prior to the Share Exchange and will continue to represent the shares of our common stock held for resale without further registration by the holders thereof until such time as the applicability of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act") or other exemption from registration under the Securities Act permits sales of the shares issued to the Taiyu Shareholders, or a registration statement has been declared effective with respect to such shares.  Pursuant to the plan of distribution described in a registration statement on Form SB-2 filed by the Company during 2006, the registered public float shares may be sold in one or more transactions, including block transactions; on such public markets or exchanges as the common stock may from time to time be trading; in privately negotiated transactions; or in any

combination of these methods of distribution and as otherwise described in the Form SB-2 Registration Statement.
 
As a result of the Share Exchange and the Split-Off, Taiyu became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Taiyu Shareholders now hold approximately 82.04% of the Company's outstanding common stock.  The shareholders of the Company immediately prior the Share Exchange and Split-Off hold the remaining 17.96% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.
 
Prior to the closing of the Share Exchange, there were no options or warrants to purchase shares of capital stock of SmartHeat or Taiyu outstanding and neither the Company nor Taiyu had adopted an equity incentive plan or otherwise reserved shares for issuance as incentive awards to officers, directors, employees and other qualified persons in the future.
 
The shares of the Company's common stock issued to the Taiyu Shareholders in connection with the Share Exchange were not registered under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act.  These securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.  Certificates representing these shares contain a legend stating the same.
 
As of the date of the Share Exchange Agreement there were no material relationships between the Company and Taiyu, or any of their respective affiliates, directors or officers, or any associates of their respective officers or directors, other than in respect of the Share Exchange Agreement.
 
Changes Resulting from the Share Exchange
 
The Company intends to carry on Taiyu's business as its sole line of business.  The Company has relocated its executive offices to A-1, 10, Street 7, Shenyang Economic and Technological Development Zone, Shenyang 110027, Peoples Republic of China, and its telephone number is +86 (24) 2519-7699.
 
The stockholders of the Company immediately preceding the Share Exchange will not be required to exchange their existing Goldrim stock certificates for certificates of the Company stating its new name, since the OTC Bulletin Board will consider the existing stock certificates as constituting "good delivery" in securities transactions subsequent to the Share Exchange.  The American Stock Exchange and Nasdaq SmallCap Market will also consider the submission of existing stock certificates as "good delivery," in the event that the Company's shares are ever listed on those exchanges.  The Company cannot be certain that it will receive approval to list its common stock on any exchange or market should it apply for such listing.
 
Changes to the Board of Directors
 
Mr. Jun Wang, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Taiyu was appointed to the board of directors of the Company effective as of the closing on June 14, 2008.  Mr. Jason Schlombs resigned as a director, effective as of the close of business on June 15, 2008.  As a result, Mr. Jun Wang became our sole member of our board of directors.
 
Following the Share Exchange, Mr. Schlombs resigned as President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company and Mr. Jun Wang was appointed as President and Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Zhijuan Guo as Chief Financial Officer and Ms. Huajun Ai as Corporate Secretary.

The sole director holds office for a one-year term until the election and qualification of his successor(s).  Officers are elected by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board.
 
Accounting Treatment; Change of Control
 
The Share Exchange is being accounted for as a "reverse acquisition," since the stockholders of Taiyu own a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock immediately following the Share Exchange.  Taiyu is deemed to be the acquiror in the reverse acquisition.  Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the financial statements prior to the Share Exchange will be those of Taiyu and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of Taiyu, and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Share Exchange will include the assets and liabilities of the Company and Taiyu, historical operations of Taiyu and operations of the Company from the closing date of the Share Exchange.  Except as described in the previous paragraphs, no arrangements or understandings exist among present or former controlling stockholders with respect to the election of members of the Company's board of directors and, to our knowledge, no other arrangements exist that might result in a change of control of the Company.  Further, as a result of the issuance of the shares of the Company common stock pursuant to the Share Exchange, a change in control of the Company occurred on the date of the consummation of the Share Exchange.  The Company will continue to be a "small business issuer," as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), following the Share Exchange.
 
Tax Treatment
 
The Split-Off of SplitCo will result in taxable income to the Company in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the assets transferred and the Company's tax basis in the assets.  Any gain recognized, to the extent not offset by the Company's net operating losses carry-forwards, if any, will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate income tax rates.
 
Description of our Company
 
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 4, 2006 under the name Pacific Goldrim Resources, Inc. as an exploration stage corporation that intended to engage in the exploration of silver, lead and zinc.  On April 14, 2008 we changed our name to SmartHeat Inc. and acquired all of the equity interests in Shenyang Taiyu Machinery & Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd. ("Taiyu"), a privately held company formed under the laws of the People's Republic of China ("China") engaged in the design, manufacture, sale, and servicing of plate heat exchange products in China.
 
Prior to our acquisition of Taiyu, we were in the development stage and had minimal business operations.  We had no interest in any property, but had the right to conduct exploration activities on thirteen (13) mineral title cells covering 270.27 hectares (667.85 acres) in the Slocan Mining Division of southeastern British Columbia, Canada.  In connection with the acquisition of Taiyu, we transferred our prior assets and liabilities to a wholly owned subsidiary and sold all of the outstanding capital stock of that subsidiary to our former director and officer in exchange for 2,500,000 shares of our common stock.
 
Taiyu was formed in July, 2002 under the laws of China and is headquartered in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, China.  Taiyu designs, manufactures, sells, and services plate heat exchangers ("PHEs"), compact plate heat exchanger units ("PHE Units"), and heat meters.  Taiyu is an authorized dealer of Sondex A/S, one of the world's leading PHE manufacturers.  Taiyu sells PHEs under the Sondex brand name and PHE Units under the Taiyu brand name.

Description of our Business
 
We design, manufacture, sell, and service PHEs, PHE Units and heat meters for a broad range of industries,  including petroleum refining, petrochemicals, power generation, metallurgy, food & beverage, and chemical processing.  We sell PHEs under the Sondex brand and PHE Units that are designed by our engineers and assembled with Sondex plates under our Taiyu brand name.  We are one of three authorized dealers of Sondex PHEs for the industrial and energy sectors in China.  Our Sondex distribution territory is North China.
 
Industry Overview
 
The PHE is a device which transfers energy, usually in the form of heat, from one fluid to another across a solid surface.  PHE analysis and design involves both convection and conduction.  PHEs were first invented in the mid 1920s to control pressure and temperature, and to increase energy efficiency in industrial use.  The most common heat transfer product used commercially up to date are shell-and-tube heat exchangers, which are still being used in older buildings and manufacturing facilities in China.  This technology is being rapidly replaced by plate heat exchangers which achieve superior heat transfer efficiency because of a larger heat transfer surface area.  PHEs can be installed in old buildings as well as new ones since they are smaller than the traditional heat exchangers and fit with in existing installations.
 
Today, heat exchangers are used in heat and power generation, HVAC and refrigeration, chemicals & petrochemicals, steel & metallurgy, aeronautics, textiles, food and beverage processing and various other manufacturing industries.  Heat transfer equipment is also being employed in new energy applications such as wind, solar, biomass and waste disposal.
 
Within the PHE industry, manufacturers are differentiated primarily based upon their reputation and the technology, improved efficiency, and durability of their products.  Given the growing importance of energy conservation and waste reduction, PHEs are likely to play an increasingly important role in many industries.
 
Market Overview
 
The global market for heat transfer products and compact PHE Units in 2006 was approximately $12 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively according to Alfa Laval, a leading manufacturer in our industry.  Large international PHE producers include: Alfa Laval, Sondex, GEA, Tranter SWEP, Danfoss, and Hisaka Works.
 
Heat transfer technology was introduced to China in the 1960's from Russia, mainly for applications in the petroleum industry.  Foreign manufacturers began to sell in China on a large commercial scale in the 1980's and have since dominated the Chinese market.  As domestic producers sprang up in the late 1980's and 1990's they began to take an increasingly larger share of the market.  The past decade has seen the rise of many domestic manufacturers along with joint venture operations between local and international firms.  Today the market is split between domestic firms, foreign JVs and direct imports.
 
China Heat Association believes that the domestic market for PHE products has been growing at an annual rate of about 30% since 2000 and that it will continue to grow at a similar rate until 2010 due to the continuation of industrialization and urbanization trends in China.  New environmental policies and regulations are also expected to have a positive impact on the demand for PHE products.

Products
 
PHEs
 
PHEs are used in a wide range of industries with the principal demand originating in the following industries: petroleum refining, petrochemicals, power generation, metallurgy, food & beverage, and chemical processing.  PHEs are constructed through the use of specifically manufactured stainless steel, titanium, and nickel plates welded together and are often referred to as the "PHE" within PHE Units.  The quantity and size of the plates used along with the total size of the PHE will vary according to the particular application requirements but generally do not exceed the size of a large refrigerator.
 
As one of the three authorized dealers of Sondex PHEs in China, we import finished stainless steel plates from Sondex and assemble customized PHEs based on client's specifications.  All PHE design is done in-house by our engineers utilizing Sondex tailored Paradox software.  In the initial year of our operations, the PHE was the cornerstone of our product line.  As an authorized Sondex dealer, we established a reputation as a high quality provider of PHEs in China.  In May 2003, we began to sell customized PHE Units containing Sondex plates.  While our direct third-party sales of PHEs have declined in recent years, the quantity of plates supplied through Sondex has continued to grow as they are incorporated in the PHE Units we sell.
 
PHE Units
 
PHE Units are mainly used in petroleum refining, chemicals and petrochemicals, energy generation, HVAC, steel, medical, electronics, food & beverage processing and other manufacturing sectors to reduce energy waste through heat recovery, improve temperature and pressure controls and cool equipment.  PHE Units are built by integrating PHEs with various pumps, temperature sensors, valves, and automated control systems to form a "unit" which is used along with other units to form a "PHE network" installed in the local district heating systems.  We specialize in making PHE Units for HVAC systems in residential and commercial buildings.
 
According to China's Ministry of Construction data, 2007 domestic demand for PHE Units in China was estimated at $139 million, and combined with the replacement of shell and tube heat exchangers is expected to increase by approximately 70% annually through 2010.
 
We began designing, manufacturing and selling our branded PHE Units in May 2003.  Our PHE Units are designed in-house by our system engineers employing online customized CAD design software based on Solid Works software which is integrated with our real-time enterprise resource planning system databases.  This advanced design platform provides the following benefits:
 
 
·
We can provide accurate price quotes instantly;
 
 
·
Our purchasing function is immediately notified of any additional material orders needed; and,
 
 
·
Our manufacturing operations are able to schedule production so that goods are delivered on a just-in-time basis.
 
The production and sale of PHE Units have been central to the Company's growth.  PHE Units require a comparatively higher level of technical skill and knowledge of the application markets and this is reflected in the price.  In the recent years, PHE Unit sales have contributed significantly to our revenue
 

 
6

 

growth and high margins.  Less than five years after entering the market, we have emerged as a leading domestic producer of PHE Units, with approximately 8%share of the market in China.
 
Heat Meters
 
Heating companies in many western countries have long used meters to measure customer heat usage and invoice customers.  However, Chinese residents and commercial customers are largely billed based on the square footage of their utilized space.  Meters indicate heat in legal heat units and the calibration of meters in many countries is regulated by government agencies and subject to local or national guidelines.  Due to rising energy costs and the increased sensitivity to environmental issues, Chinese government and local utility companies have recently made the use of heat meters compulsory in several cities in China.  As of January 2007, heat meters are required by law in the cities of Tianjin, Xingtai, Chengde, and Handan.
 
Using our established relationships with provincial governments and utility companies throughout China, we introduced our patented heat meters to the market during the second quarter of 2006.  Sales to date have been insignificant.  However, in 2008 we plan to work with the various government entities to establish a national heating standard and become an active participant in China's heat meter market in the coming years.
 
Production
 
We conduct all manufacturing activities at our Shenyang plant.  We generally operate on an 8 hour shift, with the exception of the high season from May to November, during which we may operate the plant for 11-12 hours a day.  Production is driven by orders from clients and is scheduled on a just-in-time delivery basis.  Our Shenyang facility currently has the capacity to produce 10 PHEs, 3 PHE Units, and 50 heat meters per day.
 
Marketing
 
Since our entry into the market for PHE Units in May 2003, the Taiyu brand name has been promoted in conjunction with quality production and first-rate service by means of our successful track record, industry trade fairs and establishing and maintaining positive relationships with local governments in Beijing, Shenyang, Urumqi, Shandong, Jiangsu and Shanghai.  We attend the bi-annual HVAC trade fair in Shanghai and Chinese environmental protection forums and we visit the local utilities companies, oil refiners, steel and food & beverage companies.  Marketing costs are generally funded through working capital and expensed as incurred.
 
Suppliers
 
Plates
 
Plates1are supplied by Sondex under the terms of our Sondex authorized dealer arrangement.  We generally order stainless steel plates 2-3 months in advance based on production needs and forecasted sales.  Plate purchases generally constitute 40% of our total annual raw material purchases.  While we are an authorized dealer, annual or quarterly purchasing prices are not fixed and fluctuate according to Sondex's most recent pricing list.
 


 
1 All plates sold by Sondex to Taiyu contain gaskets unless otherwise specified.

Components
 
Components generally include pumps, valves, pipes, and electronic meters purchased from a variety of international (Siemens, Wilo A.G., Honeywell) and domestic suppliers who have been certified to meet Taiyu's quality specifications.  Components are ordered on an as needed basis.  Plates and components together constituted approximately 98% of raw materials purchases in 2007.
 
Customers
 
We sell both directly through our sales force and through a network of 29 national distributors located throughout China.  Our customer base consists mainly of large companies with the 10 largest customers accounting for over 60% of our total sales.  The 10 largest customers and respective revenues during 2007 are as follows:

Each sale can range from $2,500 to $500,000 and up depending on the client's needs.  Contract implementation generally takes one to six months.  Outstanding receivables are collected upon completion of work with the exception of a 10% warranty hold-back that remains unpaid and outstanding for 12-18 months following delivery and contract completion.  All of our work is performed based on written contracts and there are no oral contracts.  Historically, the Company has not had any uncollected warranty hold-backs.
 
Intellectual Property
 
We use the Taiyu brand name on all the PHE Units and heat meters we sell.  We have applied to the China Trademark Bureau for the registration of this trade name and we are awaiting approval of our application.  We believe that the Taiyu brand name is recognized in China's heating industry for quality and efficiency.  We have five registered patents in China for both PHE products and heat meters.
 

 
8

 

These patents are integral to our ability to create and design PHEs and PHE Units.  To the extent third parties utilize such patents in their work, we do not receive royalties or licensing fees from any such third parties.
 
Research and Development
 
To maintain our competitive edge in the marketplace and keep pace with new technologies, constant research and development work is required to find improved efficiencies in design, cost, and energy capture.  While the core technology for plate production remains with Sondex, our competitive advantage in the market stems from our engineering and system design capabilities.
 
Research and development costs are funded through working capital and expensed as incurred.  We plan to spend approximately $110,000 in 2008 on identifying new industry applications for PHEs, improving the accuracy of heat meters, designing heat meters for industrial usage, developing multifunctional PHE units and modifying PHE designs to meet the current market demand.
 
While we have no formal written alliances with the universities, we work with several professors who are heat transfer experts on an individual consulting basis.
 
Governmental and Environmental Regulation
 
While our PHE & PHE Units business and products are not subject to any material regulation by the Chinese government or other national agency, we have obtained National Safety Certification for our PHE products and we are an ISO 9000 certified manufacturer.  The National Safety Certification is not required for either production or sale of PHE products.  However, obtaining this certification confirms our commitment to safety and quality.  For companies in industries utilizing high temperatures or pressure in their production processes, the certification is of critical importance in choosing a PHE provider.  Of over 500 companies selling PHEs in China, we believe that only 30 companies have obtained this certification.
 
Conversely, heat meters require a license for production and sale.  We obtained this license on August 12, 2005.  The license is valid for 3 years through August 11, 2008 at which time it will need to be renewed.  The Safety Bureau conducts site visits and inspections of documents on a periodic basis to verify adherence to the standards.
 
While heat meters are only required in four cities in which local legislation has been passed on requiring the installation of heat meters and so far no national legislation has been passed requiring heat meters in the rest of China, expected legislation in the coming year mandating such would likely impact National certification standards.  We plan to work with both the National and local governments in establishing such standards.
 
Our business and company registrations are in compliance with the laws and regulations of the municipal governments of Shenyang and China.
 
We are subject to China's National Environmental Protection Law as well as local laws regarding pollutant discharge, air, water, and noise pollution, with which we comply.
 
Competition
 
The Company competes only in the domestic Chinese market.  We believe our competitive advantages lie in our superior engineering and design skills, our affiliation with Sondex, the longevity and

efficiency of the Sondex plates we use, our just-in-time delivery and the reliable after sale service we provide through our local service centers.
 
PHEs
 
Alfa Laval has the largest market share in mainland China.  An assortment of other foreign producers hold an aggregate market share of 20%, and the rest of the market is divided among multiple domestic producers.  While we believe the quality or our PHEs is considered on par with Alfa Laval's, our prices are approximately 15% lower.  In comparison with the other domestic producers, our prices are approximately 15% higher.
 
PHE Units
 
According to data from the China Heating Association, we were the leading producer and seller of PHE Units in China in 2007, representing 8% of the market, followed by Danfoss, and Accessen (a Sino-US JV established by Denmark's Accessen and utilizing Alfa Laval plates as well as their own plates in their PHE Units).  Danfoss competes directly with us for the local heat and power companies' contracts in larger cities, while Accessen targets the petrochemical, metallurgy and HVAC sectors.
 
As the majority of projects are awarded on a bid basis, prices among leading competitors are difficult to assess.  For certain projects, we do not bid, but negotiate directly with the customers.  We have done prior projects with some of the customers we negotiate with, including our largest customer in 2007, Dalkia, a JV between Dalkia and the local government in Heilongjiang province.  Dalkia is the leading provider of energy services in Europe, active in multiple energy projects in China and is a subsidiary of Veolia EDF.
 
Heat Meters
 
The market for heat meters is extremely fragmented with multiple overseas and domestic producers and no established leaders.  Currently, the industry lacks National product standards which will be needed if legislation requiring heat meters for all residential and commercial spaces is passed during 2008-2010.  Two of our goals for the near future are to become an integral player in the establishment of National Heat Meter Standards and a leading supplier of heat meters in China.
 
Seasonality
 
We typically experience stronger third and fourth calendar quarters and weaker first and second calendar quarters due to the seasonal related fluctuations in sales volumes.  Customer demand for heat exchange products is also influenced by weather.
 
Description of Property
 
Our headquarters and manufacturing facilities are located in Shenyang's Economic and Technological Development Zone, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, PRC.  We own two buildings which include our office headquarters and primary manufacturing facilities.  We have been granted the right to use the land in Shenyang by the Municipal administration of state-owned land through June 2055.
 
In addition to the two buildings in Shenyang, we own four vehicles, two dual beam cranes and other special equipment.

Legal Proceedings
 
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business.  However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may have an adverse affect on our business, financial conditions, or operating results.  We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Management Discussion and Analysis of Plan of Operations
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, included herewith.  This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future.  Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.
 
Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Report, including "Risk Factors," "Description of Business" and the Financial Statements attached hereto as Item 9.01 and the related exhibits.  The various sections of this discussion contain a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risk factors described throughout this Report.  See "Forward-Looking Statements." Our actual results may differ materially.
 
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our combined financial statements, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.
 
Overview
 
We are one of three authorized OEMs of Sondex PHEs in China, specializing in the manufacturing, sale, research, and servicing of PHEs, PHE Units and heat meters for a broad range of
 

 
12

 

industries such as petroleum refinement, petrochemicals, power generation, metallurgy, food & beverage, and chemical processing.  We also sell PHEs under the Sondex brand and PHE Units that are designed by us and using PHEs that are assembled with Sondex plates under our Taiyu brand name.
 
Our revenue is subject to fluctuations due to the timing of sales of high-value products, the impact of seasonal spending patterns, the timing and size of projects our customers perform, changes in overall spending levels in the industry and other unpredictable factors that may affect customer ordering patterns.  Any significant delays in the commercial launch or any lack or delay of commercial acceptance of new products, unfavorable sales trends in existing product lines, or impacts from the other factors mentioned above, could adversely affect our revenue growth or cause a sequential decline in quarterly revenue.  Due to the possibility of fluctuations in our revenue and net income or loss, we believe that quarterly comparisons of our operating results are not a good indication of future performance.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The audited financial statements as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, that are presented are those of Taiyu rather than SmartHeat because Taiyu is our operating business, and SmartHeat's acquisition of Taiyu was deemed completed on April 14, 2008.  A detailed description of this acquisition transaction is provided under the section titled “Share Exchange” in 2.01 of this Report on Form 8-K.  The financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP").  The accompanying pro forma combined balance sheet presents the accounts of SmartHeat, and Taiyu as if SmartHeat’s acquisition of Taiyu occurred on December 31, 2007.  The accompanying pro forma combined statements of operations present the accounts of Taiyu and SmartHeat for the year ended December 31, 2007 as if acquisition occurred on January 1, 2007.  The acquisition of Taiyu by SmartHeat has been accounted for as recapitalization of Taiyu as Taiyu’s shareholders will be the majority shareholders of the Company.
 
Principle of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 55% owned subsidiary, Qingdao Yushi Heat Power Equipment Co., Ltd (Yushi).  Yushi is engaged in manufacturing and selling of heat power equipment.  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
In preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year.  Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets and the valuation of inventories.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Accounts and Retentions Receivable
 
The Company’s policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable.  Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.
 

 
13

 

Accounts receivable is net of unearned interest.  Unearned interest represents imputed interest on accounts receivable with due dates over one year from the invoice date discounted at the Company's borrowing rate for the year.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a moving weighted average basis.  Cost of work in progress and finished goods comprises direct material, direct production cost and an allocated portion of production overheads.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized.  When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations.  Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method with a 10% salvage value and estimated lives ranging from 5 to 20 years as follows:
 
Building
20 years
Vehicle
5 years
Office Equipment
5 years
Production Equipment
5 - 10 years
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Our revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104.  Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectibility is reasonably assured.  Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as unearned revenue.
 
Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
The Company’s functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”).  For financial reporting purposes, RMB has been translated into United States dollars ("USD") as the reporting currency.  Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date.  Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period.  Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders' equity as "Accumulated other comprehensive income."  Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income.  There has been no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.
 
The Company uses Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130) “Reporting Comprehensive Income.”  Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Business Combinations
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”).  SFAS 141R will significantly change the accounting for business combinations.  Under SFAS 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions.  SFAS 141R will change the accounting treatment for certain specific items, including:
 
 
·
Acquisition costs will be generally expensed as incurred;
 
 
·
Noncontrolling interests (formerly known as “minority interests” – see SFAS 160 discussion below) will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date;
 
 
·
Acquired contingent liabilities will be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently measured at either the higher of such amount or the amount determined under existing guidance for non-acquired contingencies;
 
 
·
In-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date;
 
 
·
Restructuring costs associated with a business combination will be generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and
 
 
·
Changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense.
 
SFAS 141R also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements.  SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Earlier adoption is prohibited.  Accordingly, since we are a calendar year-end company we will continue to record and disclose business combinations following existing GAAP until January 1, 2009.  We expect SFAS 141R will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions at that time.
 
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No. 51
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”).  SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity.  The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement.  SFAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest.  In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.  Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date.  SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest.  SFAS 160 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
 

 
15

 

years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Like SFAS 141R discussed above, earlier adoption is prohibited.  We have not completed our evaluation of the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 160 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under the accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value.  Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for fiscal year, including financial statements for an interim period within the fiscal year.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 157 will have on its financial statements.
 
Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R
 
In September 2006, the FASB, issued SFAS, No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R,” which requires employers to recognize the underfunded or overfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income.  Additionally, SFAS No. 158 requires employers to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position.  The new reporting requirements and related new footnote disclosure rules of SFAS No. 158 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006.  We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 158 for the year end 2006, and the effect of recognizing the funded status in accumulated other comprehensive income was not significant.  The new measurement date requirement applies for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008.
 
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
 
In February of 2007 the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.”  The statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  The statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.  The Company is analyzing the potential accounting treatment.
 
Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements
 
In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”), which provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment.  The Company adopted SAB 108 in the fourth quarter of 2006 with no impact on its financial statements.

Sales.  Net sales for 2007 were approximately $13.27 million while our net sales in 2006, were approximately $8.21 million, an increase in revenues of $5.06 million, or 62%.  The increase was due to growing demand for our product resulting from rapid increase in newly-build residential communities in Shenyang City and surrounding area.  We also increased the number of our sales representatives to develop new customers in more cities in China. We believe that our sales will continue to grow because we are strengthening our sales efforts by hiring more sales personnel, increasing the sales channels, and improving the quality of our products
 
Cost of Sales.  Cost of sales for 2007 were approximately $8.67 million while our cost of sales in 2006, were approximately $5.71 million, an increase of $2.96 million, or 52%.  The increase in cost of sales can be attributed to the increase of production and sales activities in 2007.  Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was approximately 65% for 2007 and 70% for 2006.  The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in 2007 was mainly due to the economy of scale, higher the production volume, lower the cost of each product manufactured.  We believe that our cost of sales will continue to remain stable as we will improve the efficiency of manufacturing facility.
 
Goss Profit (Loss).  Gross profit was $4.61 million for 2007 as compared to $2.49 million for 2006, representing gross margins of approximately 35% and 30% for 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The increase in our gross profits and gross profit margin was mainly due to the increase of sales activities and due to the economy of scale discussed above.
 
Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses consisted of selling, general and administrative expenses totaled approximately $2.37 million for 2007 as compared to $1.64 million for 2006, an increase of approximately $726,000 or 44%.  The increased in operating expenses was mainly due to proportional increase in after-sale service, payroll, insurance and travel expenses with our increased sales and production.
 
Net Income.  Our net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $2.09 million as compared to approximately $832,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $1.26 million or 151%.  This increase is attributable to economy of scale combined with rapid growth in revenue and

efficiency of operations. Our management believes that net income will continue to increase as we continue to increase our sales, offer better quality products and control our manufacturing costs.

Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $3,047 in fiscal 2007, as compared to net cash flow used in operating activities of $51,587 in fiscal 2006. The increase in net cash flow from operating activities in fiscal 2007 was mainly due to decrease in inventory, increase in customer deposits, tax and other payables.  In addition, our net income has increased rapidly compared to 2006 which brought more cash to the company, but at the same time, our accounts receivable have increased which held back our cash inflows.
 
Net cash flow used in investing activities was $909,280 for fiscal 2007, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $889,490 in fiscal 2006.  The increase of net cash flow used in investing activities in fiscal 2007 was mainly due to acquisition of manufacturing equipment and other office equipment and furniture during the year.

Our business and an investment in our securities are subject to a variety of risks.  The following risk factors describe the most significant events, facts or circumstances that could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, results of operations, ability to implement our business plan, and the market price for our securities.  Many of these events are outside of our control The risks described below are not the only ones facing our company.  Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations.  If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operation may be materially adversely affected.  In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors in our common stock could lose all or part of their investment.
 
Risks Related to Our Business
 
Our relationship with Sondex has substantially contributed to our business and its growth.  We could be adversely affected if that relationship terminated
 
We are one of three authorized dealers appointed by Sondex A/S for PHEs in China.  Our territory is North China.  Sondex is one of the world's leading PHE manufacturers.  Our sales of Sondex PHEs have contributed to our reputation for the high quality of the products we manufacture and sell.  If our relationship with Sondex were to terminate, our business, revenues, and results of operations could be adversely affected.
 

 
19

 

The markets we serve are subject to seasonality and cyclical demand, which could harm our business and make it difficult to project long-term performance.
 
Demand for our products depends in large part upon the level of capital and maintenance expenditures of our customers and the end users.  These expenditures have historically been cyclical in nature and vulnerable to economic downturns.  Decreased capital and maintenance spending by our customers could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products and our business, financial condition and results of operations.  In addition, this historically cyclical nature of the demand for our products limits our ability to make accurate long-term predictions about our performance.  Changing world economic and political conditions may also reduce the willingness of our customers and prospective customers to purchase our products and services.  The seasonality of our business results in significant operational challenges to our production and inventory control functions.
 
We derive a substantial part of our revenues from several major customers.  If we lose any of these customers or they reduce the amount of business they do with us, our revenues may be seriously affected.
 
Our five largest customers accounted for 48.5% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 and our ten largest customers accounted for 64.5% our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Our largest customer accounted for 21% of our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2007.  These customers may not maintain the same volume of business with us in the future.  If we lose any of these customers or they reduce the amount of business they do with us, our revenues may be seriously affected.
 
We use estimates when accounting for contracts.  Changes in estimates could affect our profitability and overall financial position.
 
Contract accounting requires judgment relative to assessing risks, estimating contract revenues and costs, and making assumptions for schedule and technical issues.  Due to the size and nature of many of our contracts, the estimation of total revenues and costs at completion is complicated and subject to many variables.  For example, assumptions have to be made regarding the length of time to complete the contract because costs also include expected increases in wages and prices for materials.  Similarly, assumptions have to be made regarding the future impact of efficiency initiatives and cost reduction efforts.  Incentives, awards, or penalties related to performance on contracts are considered in estimating revenue and profit rates and are recorded when there is sufficient information to assess anticipated performance.  Because of the significance of the judgments and estimation processes described above, it is possible that materially different amounts could be obtained if different assumptions were used or if the underlying circumstances were to change.  Changes in underlying assumptions, circumstances, or estimates may have a material adverse effect upon future period financial reporting and performance.
 
We cannot be certain that our product innovations and marketing successes will continue.
 
We believe that our past performance has been based on, and our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to continue to improve our existing products through product innovation and to develop, market and produce new products.  We cannot assure you that we will be successful in introducing, marketing and producing any new products or product innovations, or that we will develop and introduce in a timely manner innovations to our existing products which satisfy customer needs or achieve market acceptance.  Our failure to develop new products and introduce them successfully and in a timely manner could harm our ability to grow our business and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our technology may not satisfy the changing needs of our customers.
 
With any technology, including the technology of our current and proposed products, there are risks that the technology may not successfully address all of our customers' needs.  While we have already established successful relationships with our customers, there needs may change or vary.  This may affect the ability of our present or proposed products to address all of our customers' ultimate technology needs in an economically feasible manner.
 
We may not be able to keep pace with rapid technological changes and competition in our industry.
 
While we believe that we have hired or engaged personnel and outside consultants who have the experience and ability necessary to keep pace with advances in technology, and while we continue to seek out and develop "next generation" technology through our research and development efforts, there is no guarantee that we will be able to keep pace with technological developments and market demands in this evolving industry and market.  In addition, our industry is highly competitive.  Although we believe that we have developed strategic relationships to best penetrate the China market, we face competition from other manufacturers of product similar to our products.  Some of our competitors' advantages over us in both the areas of products, marketing, and services include the following:
 
 
·
Substantially greater revenues and financial resources;
 
 
·
Stronger brand names and consumer recognition;
 
 
·
The capacity to leverage marketing expenditures across a broader portfolio of products;
 
 
·
Pre-existing relationships with potential customers;
 
 
·
More resources to make acquisitions;
 
 
·
Lower labor and development costs; and
 
 
·
Broader geographic presence.
 
We will face different market dynamics and competition if we expand our market to other countries.  In some international markets, our future competitors would have greater brand recognition and broader distribution than we have.  We may not be as successful as our competitors in generating revenues in international markets due to our inability to provide products that are attractive to the market in other countries, the lack of recognition of our brand, and other factors.  As a result, any international expansion efforts could be more costly and less profitable than our efforts in the domestic market in China.
 
If we are not as successful as our competitors in our target markets, our sales could decline, our margins could be negatively impacted and we could lose market share, any of which could materially harm our business.
 
We depend on a limited number of suppliers of components for our products and if we are unable to obtain these components when needed, we would experience delays in manufacturing our products and our financial results could be adversely affected.
 
We acquire most of the components for the manufacture of our products from a limited number of suppliers.  In order for us to have our products manufactured, these components must be available at the
 

 
21

 

right level of quality and at the right price.  Suppliers of some of these components require us to place orders with significant lead-time to assure supply in accordance with our requirements.  Certain of these suppliers are currently the sole source of one or more components upon which we are dependent and alternative sources would not be available for those components unless we were to redesign our products.  Other components could be obtained from alternative suppliers without redesign, but only at higher prices than we currently pay or for delivery later than required by our production schedule.  We rely on Sondex for parts for our PHE products and PHE Units.  If we were unable to obtain adequate supplies of parts from Sondex at commercially reasonable prices, our operations could be interrupted.  We maintain a relatively small inventory of component parts for resale and our parts services business would suffer if the supply of replacement parts was reduced or terminated by our suppliers.  If suppliers are not able to provide these critical components on the dates and at the prices scheduled, we may not be able to promptly and cost-effectively manufacture our products to meet customer orders which could harm our credibility and the market acceptance and sales of our products.  Increased costs associated with supplied materials or components could increase our costs and reduce our profitability if we are unable to pass these cost increases on to our customers.
 
We are a major purchaser of certain goods and raw materials that we use in the manufacturing process of our products, and price changes for the commodities we depend on may adversely affect our profitability.
 
Our profitability generally depends upon the margin between the cost to us of certain goods used in the manufacturing process, such as plates, pumps, water tanks, sensors and controlling systems and other raw materials as well as our fabrication costs associated with converting such goods and raw materials compared to the selling price of our products, and the overall supply of raw materials.  It is our intention to base the selling prices of our products upon the associated raw materials costs to us.  However, we may not be able to pass all increases in raw material costs and ancillary acquisition costs associated with taking possession of the raw materials through to our customers.  Although we are currently able to obtain adequate supplies of raw materials, it is impossible to predict future availability.  With the rapid growth of China's economy, the demand for certain raw materials is great while the supply may be more limited.  This may affect our ability to secure the necessary raw materials in a cost-effective manner for production of our products at the volume of purchase orders that we anticipate receiving.  The inability to offset price increases of raw material by sufficient product price increases, and our inability to obtain raw materials, would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
Our products may contain defects, which could adversely affect our reputation and cause us to incur significant costs.
 
Despite testing by us defects may be found in existing or new products.  Any such defects could cause us to incur significant return and exchange costs, re-engineering costs, divert the attention of our engineering personnel from product development efforts, and cause significant customer relations and business reputation problems.  Any such defects could force us to undertake a product recall program, which could cause us to incur significant expenses and could harm our reputation and that of our products.  If we deliver products with defects, our credibility and the market acceptance and sales of our products could be harmed.
 
Due to the nature of our business and products, we may be liable for damages based on product liability and warranty claims.
 
Due to the high pressures and temperatures at which many of our products are used and the fact that some of our products are relied upon by our customers or end users in their facilities or operations, or
 

 
22

 

are manufactured for relatively broad consumer use, we face an inherent risk of exposure to claims in the event that the failure, use or misuse of our products results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury, property damage or economic loss.  We believe that we meet or exceed existing professional specification standards recognized or required in the industries in which we operate.  We have been subject to claims in the past, none of which have had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, and we may be subject to claims in the future.  Although we currently maintain product liability coverage, which we believe is adequate for the continued operation of our business, such insurance may become difficult to obtain or unobtainable in the future on terms acceptable to us and may not cover warranty claims.  A successful product liability claim or series of claims against us, including one or more consumer claims purporting to constitute class actions, in excess of our insurance coverage or a significant warranty claim or series of claims against us could materially decrease our liquidity and impair our financial condition.
 
We may experience delays in launching our products, which would negatively impact our position in the marketplace.
 
We may experience delays in bringing new products to market, due to design, manufacturing or distribution problems.  Such delays could adversely affect our ability to compete effectively and may adversely affect our relationship with our customers.  Any such delays would adversely affect our revenues and our ability to become profitable.
 
If we are not able to manage our growth, we may not be profitable.
 
Our success will depend on our ability to expand and manage our operations and facilities.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to manage our growth, meet the staffing requirements for our business or for additional collaborative relationships or successfully assimilate and train new employees.  In addition, to manage our growth effectively, we may be required to expand our management base and enhance our operating and financial systems.  If we continue to grow, there can be no assurance that the management skills and systems currently in place will be adequate or that we will be able to manage any additional growth effectively.  Failure to achieve any of these goals could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
We face risks associated with managing international operations.
 
Almost all of our operations are conducted in China.  There are a number of risks inherent in doing business in such market, including the following:
 
 
·
unfavorable political or economical factors;
 
 
·
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
 
 
·
potentially adverse tax consequences;
 
 
·
unexpected legal or regulatory changes;
 
 
·
lack of sufficient protection for intellectual property rights;
 
 
·
difficulties in recruiting and retaining personnel, and managing international operations; and
 
 
·
less developed infrastructure.
 

 
23

 
 
Our inability to manage successfully the risks inherent in our international activities could adversely affect us.   Because of the risks associated with conducting an international operation (including the risks listed above), there can be no assurances that our international expansion will be successful.
 
We may not be able to adequately protect our technology and other proprietary rights.
 
Our success will depend in part on our ability to obtain and protect our products, methods, processes and other technologies, to preserve our trade secrets, and to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties both domestically and abroad.  We have patents and patent applications pending in China, and have worked and continue to work closely with Chinese patent officials to preserve our intellectual property rights.  Despite these efforts, any of the following occurrences may reduce the value of our intellectual property:
 
 
·
Our applications for patents and trademarks relating to our business may not be granted and, if granted, may be challenged or invalidated;
 
 
·
Issued patents and trademarks may not provide us with any competitive advantages;
 
 
·
Our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights may not be effective in preventing misappropriation of our technology;
 
 
·
Our efforts may not prevent the development and design by others of products or technologies similar to or competitive with, or superior to those we develop; or
 
 
·
Another party may obtain a blocking patent and we would need to either obtain a license or design around the patent in order to continue to offer the contested feature or service in our products.
 
In addition, while we have developed substantial goodwill for our Taiyu brand in China, our application for the registration of that mark is still pending and there is no assurance that our application will be granted.
 
Effective protection of intellectual property rights may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries.  If we are unable to adequately protect our proprietary rights, then it would have a negative impact on our operations.
 
We may be subject to claims that we have infringed the proprietary rights of others, which could require us to obtain a license or change our designs.
 
Although we do not believe that any of our products infringe the proprietary rights of others, there is no assurance that infringement or invalidity claims (or claims for indemnification resulting from infringement claims) will not be asserted or prosecuted against us or that any such assertions or prosecutions will not materially adversely affect our business.  Regardless of whether any such claims are valid or can be successfully asserted, defending against such claims could cause us to incur significant costs and could divert resources away from our other activities.  In addition, assertion of infringement claims could result in injunctions that prevent us from distributing our products.  If any claims or actions are asserted against us, we may seek to obtain a license to the intellectual property rights that are in dispute.  Such a license may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all, which could force us to change our designs.
 

 
24

 

We may need additional capital to execute our business plan and fund operations and may not be able to obtain such capital on acceptable terms or at all.
 
Capital requirements are difficult to plan in our rapidly changing industry.  Although we currently expect to have sufficient funding for the next 12 months, we expect that we will need additional capital to fund our future growth.
 
Our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms or at all is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including:
 
 
·
Investors' perceptions of, and demand for, companies in our industry;
 
 
·
Investors' perceptions of, and demand for, companies operating in China
 
 
·
Conditions of the U.S. and other capital markets in which we may seek to raise funds;
 
 
·
Our future results of operations, financial condition and cash flows;
 
 
·
Governmental regulation of foreign investment in companies in particular countries;
 
 
·
Economic, political and other conditions in the United States, China, and other countries; and
 
 
·
Governmental policies relating to foreign currency borrowings.
 
We may be required to pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including joint venture projects and debt or equity financings.  There is no assurance that we will be successful in locating a suitable financing transaction in a timely fashion or at all.  In addition, there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining the capital we require by any other means.  Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to our existing stockholders.  Also, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for our new investors.  Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and the issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects.  Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs.  We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition.
 
If we cannot raise additional funds on favorable terms or at all, we may not be able to carry out all or parts of our strategy to maintain our growth and competitiveness or to fund our operations.  If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, even to the extent that we reduce our operations accordingly, we may be required to cease operations.
 
We face risks associated with currency exchange rate fluctuations.
 
Although we currently transact parts of our business in U.S., a larger portion of our revenues is denominated in other foreign currencies.  Conducting business in currencies other than U.S. dollars subjects us to fluctuations in currency exchange rates that could have a negative impact on our operating results.  Fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies impact our revenues, cost of revenues and operating margins and result in foreign currency translation gains and losses.
 

 
25

 

Historically, we have not engaged in exchange rate hedging activities.  Although we may in the future implement hedging strategies to mitigate this risk, these strategies may not eliminate our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
 
Our business could be subject to environmental liabilities.
 
As is the case with manufacturers of similar products, we use certain hazardous substances in our operations.  Currently we do not anticipate any material adverse effect on our business, revenues or results of operations,  as a result of compliance with Chinese environmental laws and regulations.  However, the risk of environmental liability and charges associated with maintaining compliance with environmental laws is inherent in the nature of our business, and there is no assurance that material environmental liabilities and compliance charges will not arise in the future.
 
If we lose our key personnel or are unable to attract and retain additional qualified personnel, the quality of our services may decline and our business may be adversely impacted.
 
We rely heavily on the expertise, experience and continued services of our senior management, including our president and chief executive officer.  Loss of their services could adversely impact our ability to achieve our business objectives.  We believe our future success will depend upon our ability to retain these key employees and our ability to attract and retain other skilled personnel.  The rapid growth of the economy in China has caused intense competition for qualified personnel.  We cannot guarantee that any employee will remain employed by us for any definite period of time or that we will be able to attract, train or retain qualified personnel in the future and the loss of personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business and company.  Qualified employees periodically are in great demand and may be unavailable in the time frame required to satisfy our customers' requirements.  We need to employ additional personnel to expand our business.  There is no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain sufficient numbers of highly skilled employees in the future.  The loss of personnel or our inability to hire or retain sufficient personnel at competitive rates could impair the growth of our business.
 
 
We will incur significant costs as a result of operating as a public company, our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.
 
While we are a public company, our compliance costs to date have not been substantial in light of our limited operations.  Taiyu has never operated as a public company.  As a public company with substantial operations, we will incur increased legal, accounting and other expenses.  The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders is time-consuming and costly.
 
It will also be time-consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act").  Certain members of our management have limited or no experience operating a company whose securities are traded or listed on an exchange, nor with SEC rules and requirements, including SEC reporting practices and requirements that are applicable to a publicly traded company.  We will need to recruit, hire, train and retain additional financial reporting, internal controls and other personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures.  If we are unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
 

 
26

 

If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or to prevent fraud.  Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our business and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.
 
We are required to establish and maintain internal controls over financial reporting, disclosure controls, and to comply with other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules promulgated by the SEC thereunder.  Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, cannot guarantee that our internal controls and disclosure controls will prevent all possible errors or 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.  In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefit of controls must be relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no system of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Corporation have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Further, controls can be circumvented by individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more persons, or by management override of the controls.  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, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
 
Because we are not yet required to comply with rules requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures, our stockholders have limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.
 
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as the rules enacted by the SEC and the national stock exchanges as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance.  These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities which are listed on those exchanges.  Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions, we have not yet adopted these measures.
 
We do not have a board member that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" or that qualifies as "independent" as that term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.
 
Until we comply with the corporate governance measures adopted by the national securities exchanges after the enactment of Sarbanes-Oxley Act, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds in the future if we determine it is necessary to raise additional capital.  We intend to comply with all applicable corporate governance measures relating to director independence as soon as practicable.
 

 
27

 

New rules, including those contained in and issued under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, may make it difficult for us to retain or attract qualified officers and directors, which could adversely affect the management of our business and our ability to obtain or retain listing of our common stock.
 
We may be unable to attract and retain those qualified officers, directors and members of board of directors committees required to provide for our effective management because of the rules and regulations that govern publicly held companies, including, but not limited to, certifications by principal executive officers.  The perceived personal risk associated with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may deter qualified individuals from accepting roles as directors and executive officers.
 
Further, some of these recent changes heighten the requirements for board or committee membership, particularly with respect to an individual's independence and level of experience in finance and accounting matters.  We may have difficulty attracting and retaining directors with the requisite qualifications.  If we are unable to attract and retain qualified officers and directors, the management of our business and our ability to obtain or retain the listing of our common stock on any stock exchange (assuming we elect to seek and are successful in obtaining such listing) could be adversely affected.
 
We are a holding company that depends on cash flow from our wholly-owned subsidiary to meet our obligations.
 
After the Share Exchange, we became a holding company with no material assets other than the stock of our wholly-owned subsidiary.  Accordingly, all our operations will be conducted by Taiyu, our wholly-owned subsidiary.  We currently expect that the earnings and cash flow of our subsidiary will primarily be retained and used by us in its operations.
 
All of Taiyu's liabilities survived the Share Exchange and there may be undisclosed liabilities that could have a negative impact on our financial condition.
 
Before the Share Exchange, certain due diligence activities on the Company and Taiyu were performed.  The due diligence process may not have revealed all liabilities (actual or contingent) of the Company and Taiyu that existed or which may arise in the future relating to the Company's activities before the consummation of the Share Exchange.  Notwithstanding that all of the Company's pre-closing liabilities were transferred to SplitCo pursuant to the Transfer Agreement Split-Off, it is possible that claims for such liabilities may still be made against us, which we will be required to defend or otherwise resolve.  The provisions and terms of the Transfer Agreement and Split-Off may not be sufficient to protect us from claims and liabilities and any breaches of related representations and warranties.  Any liabilities remaining from the Company's pre-closing activities could harm our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Because Taiyu has become public by means of a share exchange, we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.
 
There may be risks associated with Taiyu's becoming public through the Share Exchange Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock.  No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will, in the future, want to conduct any secondary offerings on our behalf.
 

 
28

 

Our director and Chief Executive Officer has the ability to obtain a substantial ownership interest in one of our major stockholders which could give him significant influence over certain major decisions on which our stockholders may vote and may discourage an acquisition of us.
 
Mr. Jun Wang, our director and Chief Executive Officer, was at one time the owner of 50% of the equity in Beijing YSKN Machinery & Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd ("YSKN"), a company which is the record holder of 30.19% of our outstanding common stock.  He transferred his 50% interest in YSKN to a friend and, by means of his personal relationship with that friend, believes that he has the right to the return of that 50% interest upon request.  If Mr. Wang were to do so, he would have substantial influence over the actions of that substantial stockholder.  As a result, Mr. Wang could have significant influence over all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how the Company's other stockholders may vote, including the following actions:
 
 
·
elect or defeat the election of our directors;
 
 
·
amend or prevent amendment of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws;
 
 
·
effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and
 
 
·
control the outcome of any other matter submitted to the shareholders for vote.
 
The interests of Mr. Wang may differ from the interests of other stockholders.  This may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.
 
Our charter documents contain provisions that could discourage or prevent a potential takeover, even if such a transaction would be beneficial to the Company's stockholders.
 
The Company's certificate of incorporation and By-Laws could make more difficult the acquisition of the Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, and the removal of incumbent officers and directors.  See "Description of Securities."
 
New accounting standards could result in changes to our methods of quantifying and recording accounting transactions, and could affect our financial results and financial position.
 
Changes to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (GAAP) arise from new and revised standards, interpretations, and other guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC, and others.  In addition, the U.S. Government may issue new or revised Cost Accounting Standards or Cost Principles.  The effects of such changes may include prescribing an accounting method where none had been previously specified, prescribing a single acceptable method of accounting from among several acceptable methods that currently exist, or revoking the acceptability of a current method and replacing it with an entirely different method, among others.  Such changes could result in unanticipated effects on our results of operations, financial position, and other financial measures.

Risks Related to Our Business being Conducted in China
 
We are subject to international economic and political risks over which we have little or no control and may be unable to alter our business practice in time to avoid the possibility of reduced revenues.
 
Our business is conducted in China.  Doing business outside the United States, particularly in China, subjects us to various risks, including changing economic and political conditions, major work stoppages, exchange controls, currency fluctuations, armed conflicts and unexpected changes in United States and foreign laws relating to tariffs, trade restrictions, transportation regulations, foreign investments and taxation.  We have no control over most of these risks and may be unable to anticipate changes in international economic and political conditions and, therefore, unable to alter out business practice in time to avoid the possibility of reduced revenues.
 
China's economic policies could affect our business.
 
Substantially all of our assets are located in China and all of our revenue is derived from our operations in China.  Accordingly, our results of operations and prospects are subject, to a significant extent, to the economic, political and legal developments in China.
 
While China's economy has experienced significant growth in the past twenty years, such growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy.  The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources.  Some of these measures benefit the overall economy of China, but they may also have a negative effect on us.  For example, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected by the government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations.  The economy of China has been changing from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy.  In recent years our government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform and the reduction of state ownership of productive assets, and the establishment of corporate governance in business enterprises; however, a substantial portion of productive assets in China are still owned by our government.  In addition, our government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies.  It also exercises significant control over China's economic growth through the allocation of resources, the control of payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, the setting of monetary policy and the provision of preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.
 
We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in China.
 
China historically has not adopted a Western style of management and financial reporting concepts and practices, as well as in modern banking, computer and other control systems.  We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in China.  As a result of these factors, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet Western standards.
 
Our bank accounts are not insured or protected against loss.
 
We maintain our cash with various banks and trust companies located in China.  Our cash accounts are not insured or otherwise protected.  Should any bank or trust company holding our cash deposits become insolvent, or if we are otherwise unable to withdraw funds, we would lose the cash on deposit with that particular bank or trust company.
 

 
30

 

As we have limited business insurance coverage in China, any loss which we suffer may not be insured or may be insured to only a limited extent.
 
The insurance industry in China is still in an early state of development and insurance companies located in China offer limited business insurance products.  In the event of damage or loss to our properties, our insurance may not provide as much coverage as if we were insured by insurance companies in the United States.
 
Tax laws and regulations in China are subject to substantial revision, some of which may adversely affect our profitability.
 
The Chinese tax system is in a state of flux, and it is anticipated that China's tax regime will be altered in the coming years.  Tax benefits that we presently enjoy may not be available in the wake of these changes, and we could incur tax obligations to our government that are significantly higher than anticipated.  These increased tax obligations could negatively impact our financial condition and our revenues, gross margins, profitability and results of operations may be adversely affected as a result.
 
Certain tax exemptions that we presently enjoy in China are scheduled to expire over the next several years.
 
As a substantial portion of our operations are located in a privileged economic zone, we are entitled to certain tax benefits.  When these exemptions expire, our income tax expenses will increase, reducing our net income below what it would be if we continued to enjoy these exemptions.
 
We may face judicial corruption in China.
 
Another obstacle to foreign investment in China is corruption.  There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain recourse in any legal disputes with suppliers, customers or other parties with whom we conduct business, if desired, through China's poorly developed and sometimes corrupt judicial systems.
 
If relations between the United States and China worsen, investors may be unwilling to hold or buy our stock and our stock price may decrease.
 
At various times during recent years, the United States and China have had significant disagreements over political and economic issues.  Controversies may arise in the future between these two countries.  Any political or trade controversies between the United States and China, whether or not directly related to our business, could reduce the price of our common stock.
 
China could change its policies toward private enterprise or even nationalize or expropriate private enterprises.
 
Our business is subject to significant political and economic uncertainties and may be affected by political, economic and social developments in China.  Over the past several years, the Chinese government of T has pursued economic reform policies including the encouragement of private economic activity and greater economic decentralization.  The Chinese government may not continue to pursue these policies or may significantly alter them to our detriment from time to time with little, if any, prior notice.
 
Changes in policies, laws and regulations or in their interpretation or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, restrictions or prohibitions on dividend payments to stockholders, or devaluations of currency could cause a decline in the price of our common

stock, should a market for our common stock ever develop.  Nationalization or expropriation could even result in the total loss of your investment.
 
The nature and application of many laws of China create an uncertain environment for business operations and they could have a negative effect on us.
 
The legal system in China is a civil law system.  Unlike the common law system, the civil law system is based on written statutes in which decided legal cases have little value as precedents.  In 1979, China began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and has since introduced many laws and regulations to provide general guidance on economic and business practices in China and to regulate foreign investment.  Progress has been made in the promulgation of laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade.  The promulgation of new laws, changes of existing laws and the abrogation of local regulations by national laws could cause a decline in the price of our common stock.  In addition, as these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively recent, their interpretation and enforcement involve significant uncertainty.
 
As we import goods into and export goods out of China, fluctuation of the Renminbi may affect our financial condition by affecting the volume of cross-border money flow.
 
Although we use the United States dollar for financial reporting purposes, most of the transactions affected by our operating subsidiaries are denominated in China's Renminbi.  The value of the Renminbi fluctuates and is subject to changes in China's political and economic conditions.  We do not currently engage in hedging activities to protect against foreign currency risks.  Even if we chose to engage in such hedging activates, we may not be able to do so effectively.  Future movements in the exchange rate of the Renminbi could adversely affect our financial condition as we may suffer financial losses when transferring money raised outside of China into the country or paying vendors for services performed outside of China.
 
We may not be able to obtain regulatory approvals for our products.
 
The manufacture and sale of our products in China are regulated by The People's Republic of China and the local provincial governments.  Although our licenses and regulatory filings are current, the uncertain legal environment in China and our industry may be vulnerable to local government agencies or other parties who wish to renegotiate the terms and conditions of, or terminate their agreements or other understandings with us.
 
It will be extremely difficult to acquire jurisdiction and enforce liabilities against our officers, directors and assets based in China.
 
As our executive officers and several of our directors, including the chairman of our Board of Directors, are Chinese citizens, it may be difficult, if not impossible, to acquire jurisdiction over these persons in the event a lawsuit is initiated against us and/or our officers and directors by a stockholder or group of stockholders in the United States.  Also, because our operating subsidiaries and assets are located in China, it may be extremely difficult or impossible for you to access those assets to enforce judgments rendered against us or our directors or executive offices by United States courts.  In addition, the courts in China may not permit the enforcement of judgments arising out of United States federal and state corporate, securities or similar laws.  Accordingly, United States investors may not be able to enforce judgments against us for violation of United States securities laws.

Risks Related to Our Securities
 
Our common stock price is subject to significant volatility, which could result in substantial losses for investors.
 
Prices for our shares are determined in the marketplace and may accordingly be influenced by many factors, including, but not limited to:
 
 
·
limited "public float" in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for our common stock
 
 
·
technological innovations or new products and services by us or our competitors;
 
 
·
intellectual property disputes;
 
 
·
additions or departures of key personnel;
 
 
·
the depth and liquidity of the market for the shares;
 
 
·
quarter-to-quarter variations in our operating results;
 
 
·
announcements about our performance as well as the announcements of our competitors about the performance of their businesses;
 
 
·
investors' evaluations of our future prospects and the food industry generally;
 
 
·
changes in earnings estimates by, or failure to meet the expectations of, securities analysts;
 
 
·
our dividend policy; and
 
 
·
general economic and market conditions.
 
In addition, the stock market often experiences significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies whose stock is traded.  These market fluctuations could adversely affect the trading price of our shares.
 
The price at which investors purchase shares of our common stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market.  Investors may be unable to sell their shares of common stock at or above their purchase price, which may result in substantial losses.
 
Shares of our common stock lack a significant trading market.
 
Shares of our common stock are not eligible as yet for trading on any national securities exchange.  Our common stock may be   quotation in the over-the-counter market on the OTC Bulletin Board or in what are commonly referred to as "pink sheets."  These markets are highly illiquid.  Although we intend to apply for listing of our common stock on an exchange, there can be no assurance if and when the initial listing criteria could be met or if such application would be granted, or that the trading of the common stock will be sustained.  There is no assurance that an active trading market in our common stock will develop, or if such a market develops, that it will be sustained.  In addition, there is a greater chance for market volatility for securities that quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board as opposed to securities that trade on a national exchange.  This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack
 

 
33

 

of readily available quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of "bid" and "ask" quotations and generally lower trading volume.  As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, the common stock, or to obtain coverage for significant news events concerning us, and the common stock would become substantially less attractive for margin loans, for investment by financial institutions, as consideration in future capital raising transactions or other purposes.
 
Future sales of shares of our common stock by our stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.
 
We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of our common stock or the availability of shares of common stock for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time.  If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market upon the effectiveness of a registration statement, or upon the expiration of any holding period under Rule 144, such sales could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an "overhang" and in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall.  The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.  The shares of common stock issued in the Share Exchange will be freely tradable upon the earlier of (i) effectiveness of a registration statement covering such shares; and (ii) the date on which such shares may be sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act and the sale of such shares could have a negative impact on the price of our common stock.
 
We may issue additional shares of our capital stock or debt securities to raise capital or complete acquisitions, which would reduce the equity interest of our stockholders.
 
Our articles of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share.  There are approximately 52,450,100 authorized and unissued shares of our common stock which have not been reserved and are available for future issuance.  Although we have no commitments as of the date of this offering to issue our securities, we may issue a substantial number of additional shares of our common stock, to complete a business combination or to raise capital.  The issuance of additional shares of our common stock:
 
 
·
may significantly reduce the equity interest of our existing stockholders; and
 
 
·
may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.
 
The application of the "penny stock" rules could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and increase your transaction costs to sell those shares.
 
Our common stock may be subject to the "penny stock" rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The penny stock rules apply to non-Nasdaq companies whose common stock trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years).  The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which contains the following:
 
 
·
a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
 

 
34

 

 
·
a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to violation to such duties or other requirements of securities laws;
 
 
·
a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the "bid" and "ask" price;
 
 
·
a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
 
 
·
definitions of significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and
 
 
·
such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format), as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation.
 
Prior to effecting any transaction in penny stock, the broker-dealer also must provide the customer with the following:
 
 
·
the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
 
 
·
the compensation of the broker-dealer and our salesperson in the transaction;
 
 
·
the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and
 
 
·
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
 
In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
 
Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited.  If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, that could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities.  If our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.
 
Our management can obtain influence over a significant amount of our common stock, giving them influence or control in corporate transactions and other matters, and their interests could differ from those of other stockholders.
 
Although, our principal executive officers and directors currently do not own any of our outstanding common stock, this might change.  Mr. Jun Wang, our director and Chief Executive Officer, was at one time the owner of 50% of the equity in Beijing YSKN Machinery & Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd ("YSKN"), a company which is the record holder of 30.19% of our outstanding common stock.  He transferred his 50% interest in YSKN to a friend and, by means of his personal relationship with that friend, believes that he has the right to the return of that 50% interest upon request.  If Mr. Wang were to do so, he would have substantial influence over the actions of that substantial stockholder and the ability
 

 
35

 

to influence matters requiring a shareholder vote, including the election of directors, the adoption of any amendment to our articles of incorporation or bylaws, and the approval of significant corporate transactions.  Their control may delay or prevent a change of control on terms favorable to our other stockholders and may adversely affect your voting and other stockholders rights.
 
We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future.  Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.
 
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.  The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant.  If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.
 
Capital outflow policies in China may hamper our ability to declare and pay dividends to our shareholders.
 
China has adopted currency and capital transfer regulations.  These regulations may require us to comply with complex regulations for the movement of capital.  Although our management believes that we will be in compliance with these regulations, should these regulations or the interpretation of them by courts or regulatory agencies change, we may not be able to pay dividends to our shareholders outside of China.  In addition, under current Chinese law, we must retain a reserve equal to 10 percent of net income after taxes, not to exceed 50 percent of registered capital.  Accordingly, this reserve will not be available to be distributed as dividends to our shareholders.  We presently do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.  Our management intends to follow a policy of retaining all of our earnings to finance the development and execution of our strategy and the expansion of our business.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End
 
As of December 31, 2007, there were no outstanding equity awards held by executive officers of our company.
 
Board Independence
 
Mr. Wang doe not qualify as "independent" director, as that term is defined by applicable listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market and SEC rules, including the rules relating to the independence standards of an audit committee and the non-employee director definition of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.  As a requirement to listing the Company's common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market or other exchange, the Company intends to add independent directors.  The board's composition (and that of its committees) will be subject to the corporate governance provisions of its primary trading market, including the requirement for appointment of independent directors in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and regulations adopted by the SEC and NASD pursuant thereto.
 
Director Compensation
 
We do not currently compensate our directors for acting as such, although we may do so in the future, including with cash and/or equity.  We reimburse our directors for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with their service as directors.  As of April 14, 2008, none of our directors received any compensation from us.
 
Code of Ethics
 
We intend to adopt a code of ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, but have not done so to date due to our relatively small size.
 
Board Committees
 
Audit Committee
 
We intend to establish an audit committee of the board of directors, which will consist of independent directors, of which at least one director will qualify as a qualified financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.  The audit committee's duties would be to recommend to our
 

 
39

 

board of directors the engagement of independent auditors to audit our financial statements and to review our accounting and auditing principles.  The audit committee would review the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent public accountants, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls.  The audit committee would at all times be composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of our board of directors, free from any relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Compensation Committee
 
We intend to establish a compensation committee of the board of directors.  The compensation committee would review and approve our salary and benefits policies, including compensation of executive officers.  The compensation committee would also administer our stock option plans and recommend and approve grants of stock options under such plans.
 
Stock Incentive Plans
 
We have currently no stock incentive plan adopted.  We intend to adopt a stock incentive plan in order to further the growth and general prosperity of the Company by enabling our employees, contractors and service providers to acquire our common stock, increasing their personal involvement in the Company and thereby enabling the Company to attract and retain its employees, contractors and service providers.
 
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
 
YSKN, our 30.19% shareholder was one of our sales agent in 2006 and 2007 and one of our suppliers in 2006.  Sales through such sales agent amounted to $226,105 and $174,901 in the years 2006 and 2007, respectively.  During the year 2006 we purchased raw material from YSKN in the amount of 215,031; in the year 2007, however, we did not make any purchases of raw material from YSKN.  As of April 14, 2008, we currently owe to YSKN $138,585 from a loan provided by YSKN.  Our sales agency relationship with YSKN will not continue after the Share Exchange.
 
YSKN is held by Mr. Liu TongYue and Mr. Li Fang, each holding 50% of the equitable and legal rights, title and interests in and to the share capital of YSKN.  Mr. Wang, our sole director, President and Chief Executive Officer, was at one time the owner of 50% of the equity in YSKN. He transferred his 50% interest in YSKN to Mr. Liu Tong Yue, a friend ,and, by means of his personal relationship with him,, believes that he has the right to the return of that 50% interest upon request.
 
Item 3.02
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
 
Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, we issued an aggregate of 18,500,000 shares of common stock to nine non-U.S. persons (as contemplated by Rule 902 under the Securities Act of 1933).  The consideration for the issuance of these shares of common stock was the exchange by such nine non-U.S. persons of 100% of the share capital of Taiyu.  These issuances were exempt from registration requirements under Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The shares issued pursuant to Regulation S were issued in an "offshore transaction" as defined in, and pursuant to, Rule 902 under the Securities Act of 1933, on the basis that the purchaser was not offered the shares in the United States and did not execute or deliver any agreement in the United States.

Description of our Securities
 
The following description of our securities and provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws is only a summary.  We refer to the copies of our articles of incorporation and bylaws, copies of which have been incorporated by reference as exhibits to this Report on Form 8-K.  The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.
 
Authorized Capital Stock
 
The total number of stock authorized that may be issued by us is 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.  No other class of stock is authorized.
 
Capital Stock Issued and Outstanding
 
After giving effect to the Share Exchange and the Split-Off, our issued and outstanding securities, on a fully diluted basis, is as follows:
 
 
·
22,549,900 shares of common stock; approximately 82.04% of which shares will be held by the Taiyu Shareholders and approximately 17.96% of which are held by the existing shareholders of SmartHeat;
 
 
·
No shares of preferred stock;
 
 
·
No options to purchase any capital stock or securities convertible into capital stock; and
 
 
·
No warrants to purchase any capital stock or securities convertible into capital stock.
 
Description of Common Stock
 
The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share.  Our Articles of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting.  The holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds; however, the current policy of our board of directors is to retain earnings, if any, for operations and growth.  Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally available for distribution.  The holders of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights.
 
Market Price and Dividends
 
Taiyu is, and has always been a privately-held company and now is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  There is not, and never has been, a public market for the securities of Taiyu.  Our common stock is currently approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. under the symbol PFGD.OTCBB, but there is currently no liquid trading market.
 
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends.  We have not previously paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate or contemplate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.  We currently intend to utilize all available funds to develop our business.  We can give no assurances that we will ever have excess funds available to pay dividends.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
Under Nevada law, a corporation may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents under certain circumstances, including indemnification of such persons against liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  In addition, a corporation may purchase or maintain insurance on behalf of its directors, officers, employees or agents for any liability incurred by him in such capacity, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify such person.
 
Our By-Laws provides, among other things, that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees inclusive of any appeal), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such claim, action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best of our interests, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
 
The effect of these provisions may be to eliminate the rights of us and our stockholders (through stockholder derivative suits on behalf of us) to recover monetary damages against a director, officer, employee or agent for breach of fiduciary duty.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be provided for directors, officers, employees, agents or persons controlling an issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the opinion of the SEC is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is therefore unenforceable.
 
Anti-Takeover Effect of Certain By-Law Provisions
 
Certain provisions of our By-Laws are intended to strengthen the board of directors’ position in the event of a hostile takeover attempt.  These provisions have the following effects:
 
 
·
they provide that only business brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder who complies with the procedures set forth in the By-Laws may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders; and
 
 
·
they provide for advance notice or certain stockholder actions, such as the nomination of directors and stockholder proposals.
 
Market Information
 
Our common stock is currently approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. under the symbol PFGD.OTCBB, but there is currently no trading market.  We have notified the OTC bulletin board of our name change and will obtain a new symbol.  As soon as practicable, and assuming we satisfy all necessary initial listing requirements, we intend to apply to have our common stock listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange, National Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market, although we cannot be certain that any of these applications will be approved.
 
Transfer Agent and Registrar
 
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Signature Stock Transfer, Inc., 2301 Ohio Drive, Suite 100, Plano, Texas 75093.  Our transfer agent's telephone number is (972) 612-4120.

On April 14, 2008, we dismissed Dale Matheson Carr Hilton Labonte LLP ("DMCHL") as our independent accountants.  DMCHL had previously been engaged as the principal accountant to audit our financial statements.  The reason for the dismissal of DMCHL is that, following the consummation of the Share Exchange on April 14. 2008, (i) the former stockholders of Taiyu own a significant amount of the outstanding shares of our common stock and (ii) our primary business became the business previously conducted by Taiyu.  The independent registered public accountant of Taiyu for US accounting purposes was the firm of Goldman Parks Kurland Mohidin-GPKM LLP ( ("GPKM").  We believe that it is in our best interest to have GPKM continue to work with our business, and we therefore retained GPKM as our new principal independent registered accounting firm, effective as of April 15, 2008.  GPKM is located at 16133 Ventura Blvd., Suite 880, Encino, CA 91436.  The decision to change accountants was approved by our board of directors on April 14, 2008.
 
The report of DMCHL on our financial statements for the period from August 4, 2006 (inception) through our fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the report was qualified as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
From our inception through April 15, 2008, there were no disagreements with DMCHL on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of DMCHL, would have caused it to make reference to the matter in connection with its reports.
 
From our inception through April 14, 2008, we did not consult GPKM regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.
 
We have made the contents of this Current Report on Form 8-K available to DMCHL and requested it to furnish us a letter addressed to the SEC as to whether DMCHL agrees or disagrees with, or wishes to clarify our expression of, our views, or containing any additional information.  A copy of DMCHL's letter to the SEC is included as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
 
 
Item 5.01
Changes in Control of Registrant
 
Reference is made to the disclosure set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.
 
Following the Share Exchange, on April 14, 2008, Mr. Jun Wang, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Taiyu was appointed to the board of directors of the Company effective as of the closing on April 14, 2008.  Mr. Jason Schlombs resigned as a director, effective as of the close of business on April 15, 2008.  As a result, Mr. Jun Wang became our sole member of our board of directors.
 
Following the Share Exchange, Mr. Schlombs resigned as President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company and Mr. Jun Wang was appointed as President and Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Zhijuan Guo as Chief Financial Officer and Ms. Huajun Ai as Corporate Secretary.
 
 
43

 
The biographies of each of the new directors and officers are set forth in the section entitled “Directors and Executive Officers” under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
 
There are no transactions since the beginning of our last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last three completed fiscal years, and in which Mr. Jun Wang, Ms. Zhijuan Guo and Ms. Huajun Ai had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than the ownership of shares of our common stock as a result of the share exchange transaction.  Such beneficial ownership is set forth in the table under the caption “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, Change in Fiscal Year
 
On April 14, 2008, we changed our name from Pacific Goldrim Resources, Inc. to SmartHeat Inc by merging our wholly owned subsidiary SmartHeat Inc., a Nevada corporation, into Goldrim.  On April 16, 2008 our board of directors adopted new by-laws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
On April 14, 2008, our board of directors approved a change in our fiscal year from a fiscal year ending October 31 to a fiscal year ending on December 31.  The change in our fiscal year took effect on April 14, 2008 and, therefore, there will be no transition period in connection with this change of fiscal year-end.  Our 2008 fiscal year will end on December 31, 2008.
 
Item 5.06
Change in Shell Company Status
 
On April 14, 2008, we consummated the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement.  As a result of the consummation of the Share Exchange described in Items 1.01 and 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, we believe that we are no longer a shell corporation as that term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
 
Item 9.01
Financial Statements and Exhibits
 
(a)           Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired.  In accordance with Item 9.01(a), Taiyu's audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007.
 
The unaudited financial statements of Taiyu for the three-month interim periods ended March 31, 2008, and 2007 will be filed in a Current Report on Form 8-K/A within the next 45 days.
 
(b)           Pro Forma Financial Information.  In accordance with Item 9.01(b), our pro forma financial statements are filed in this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2.
 
Such pro forma financial statements are based on the historical financial statements of the Company and Taiyu after giving effect to the share exchange transaction.  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" (SFAS 141), and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, Taiyu is considered the accounting acquiror.  The share exchange transaction was completed
 
 
44

 
on April 14, 2008.  Because Taiyu's owners as a group retained or received the larger portion of the voting rights in the combined entity and Taiyu's senior management represents a majority of the senior management of the combined entity, Taiyu is considered the acquiror for accounting purposes and will account for the share exchange transaction as a reverse acquisition.  The acquisition will be accounted for as the recapitalization of Taiyu.  Our fiscal year will end on December 31.
 
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet presents the accounts of the Company and Taiyu as if the acquisition of Taiyu by the Company occurred on December 31, 2007.  The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations present the accounts of the Company and Taiyu for the year ended December 31, 2007 as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2007 for income statement purpose.
 
Reclassifications have been made to historical financial statements to conform to our historical financial statement presentation.
 
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Plan of Operations" under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference, and the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Taiyu.  The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are not intended to represent or be indicative of our results of operations or financial condition that would have been reported had the share exchange transaction been completed as of the dates presented, and should not be taken as representative of the future results of operations or financial condition of the Registrant.

E-1

 
 
(b)           Payment of Purchase Price. At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a certificate or certificates representing the Purchase Price Shares duly endorsed to Seller, which delivery shall vest Seller with good and marketable title to the Purchase Price Shares, free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances.
 
3.           Representations and Warranties of Seller. Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as of the date hereof as follows:
 
(a)           Corporate Authorization; Enforceability. The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement is within its corporate powers and has been, duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Seller. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Seller and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that its enforceability may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

(a)           Enforceability. The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this Agreement are within Buyer’s powers.

E-2

 
 
(d)           Purchase for Investment.  Buyer is financially able to bear the economic risks of acquiring an interest in the Company and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and have no need for liquidity in this investment. Buyer has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters in general, and with respect to businesses of a nature similar to the business of the Company, so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of, and making an informed business decision with regard to, the acquisition of the Shares. Buyer is acquiring the Shares solely for their own account and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any distribution or public offering thereof, within the meaning of any applicable securities laws and regulations, unless such distribution or offering is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an exemption from such registration is available. Buyer has (i) received all the information they have deemed necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Shares, (ii) had an opportunity to make such investigation as she has desired pertaining to the Company and the acquisition of an interest therein, and to verify the information which is, and has been, made available to her and (iii) had the opportunity to ask questions of Seller concerning the Company. Buyer has received no public solicitation or advertisement with respect to the offer or sale of the Shares. Buyer realizes that the Shares are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, the resale of the Shares is restricted by federal and state securities laws and, accordingly, the Shares must be held indefinitely unless their resale is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available for their resale. Buyer understands that any resale of the Shares by her must be registered under the Securities Act (and any applicable state securities law) or be effected in circumstances that, in the opinion of counsel for the Company at the time, create an exemption or otherwise do not require registration under the Securities Act (or applicable state securities laws). Buyer acknowledges and consents that certificates now or hereafter issued for the Shares will bear a legend substantially as follows:
 
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS (THE “STATE ACTS”), HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND QUALIFICATION UNDER THE STATE ACTS OR PURSUANT TO EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF THE SECURITIES ACT, THE EXEMPTIONS AFFORDED BY SECTION 4(1) OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND RULE 144 THEREUNDER). AS A PRECONDITION TO ANY SUCH TRANSFER, THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES SHALL BE FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OPINING AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION AND/OR SUCH OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY BE SATISFACTORY THERETO THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER WILL NOT VIOLATE THE SECURITIES LAWS.
 
 
E-3

 
 
Buyer understands that the Shares are being sold to her pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(1) of the Securities Act and that Seller is relying upon the representations made herein as one of the bases for claiming the Section 4(1) exemption.
 
(e)           Liabilities.  Following the Closing, Seller will have no debts, liabilities or obligations relating to the Company or its business or activities, whether before or after the Closing, and there are no outstanding guaranties, performance or payment bonds, letters of credit or other contingent contractual obligations that have been undertaken by Seller directly or indirectly in relation to the Company or its business and that may survive the Closing.
 
(f)           Title to Purchase Price Shares.  Buyer is the sole record and beneficial owner of the Purchase Price Shares. At Closing, Buyer will have good and marketable title to the Purchase Price Shares, which Purchase Price Shares are, and at the Closing will be, free and clear of all options, warrants, pledges, claims, Liens and encumbrances, and any restrictions or limitations prohibiting or restricting transfer to Seller, except for restrictions on transfer as contemplated by applicable securities laws.
 
(g)           Capitalization. As of the date hereof, Seller owns the Shares, which interests represent 100% of the authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company. The Shares are duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid, non-assessable and free and clear of any Liens.
 
5.           Indemnification and Release.
 
(a)           Indemnification. Buyer covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Seller, and its officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents, representatives and affiliates (collectively, together with Seller, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) at all times from and after the date of this Agreement from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, adjustments, costs and expenses (including specifically, but without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation), whether or not involving a third party claim and regardless of any negligence of any Seller Indemnified Party (collectively, “Losses”), incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party as a result of or arising from (i) any breach of the representations and warranties of Buyer set forth herein or in certificates delivered in connection herewith, (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer under this Agreement, (iii) any debt, liability or obligation of the Company, whether incurred or arising prior to the date hereof or after, (iv) any debt, liability or obligation of Seller for actions taken prior to that certain share exchange transaction by the Seller with the shareholders of Taiyu Machinery & Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd  (the “Share Exchange”), including, without limitation, any amounts due or owing to any former officer, director or Affiliate of Seller, (v) the conduct and operations of the business of the Company whether before or after the Closing, (vi) claims asserted against the Company whether arising before or after the Closing, or (vii) any federal or state income tax payable by Seller and attributable to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or activities prior to the Share Exchange or with respect to the Company after the Share Exchange.
 
 
E-4

 
 
(b)           Third Party Claims.
 
(i)           If any claim or liability (a “Third-Party Claim”) should be asserted against any of the Seller Indemnified Parties (the “Indemnitee”) by a third party after the Closing for which Buyer has an indemnification obligation under the terms of Section 5(a), then the Indemnitee shall notify Buyer (the “Indemnitor”) within 20 days after the Third-Party Claim is asserted by a third party (said notification being referred to as a “Claim Notice”) and give the Indemnitor a reasonable opportunity to take part in any examination of the books and records of the Indemnitee relating to such Third-Party Claim and to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and in connection therewith and to conduct any proceedings or negotiations relating thereto and necessary or appropriate to defend the Indemnitee and/or settle the Third-Party Claim. The expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of all negotiations, proceedings, contests, lawsuits or settlements with respect to any Third-Party Claim shall be borne by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor agrees to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, through counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, then the Indemnitor shall be entitled to control the conduct of such defense, and shall be responsible for any expenses of the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim so long as the Indemnitor continues such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitor shall be responsible for paying all settlements made or judgments entered with respect to any Third-Party Claim the defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnitor. Except as provided in subsection (ii) below, both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee must approve any settlement of a Third-Party Claim. A failure by the Indemnitee to timely give the Claim Notice shall not excuse Indemnitor from any indemnification liability except only to the extent that the Indemnitor is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.
 
(ii)           If the Indemnitor shall not agree to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, or shall fail to continue such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnitee may defend against such Third-Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate and the Indemnitee may settle such Third-Party Claim, in its sole discretion, on such terms as it may deem appropriate. The Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the amount of all settlement payments and expenses, legal and otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such Third-Party Claim. If no settlement of such Third-Party Claim is made, then the Indemnitor shall satisfy any judgment rendered with respect to such Third-Party Claim before the Indemnitee is required to do so, and pay all expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in the defense against such Third-Party Claim.
 
(c)           Non-Third-Party Claims. Upon discovery of any claim for which Buyer has an indemnification obligation under the terms of this Section 5 which does not involve a claim by a third party against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to Buyer of such claim and, in any case, shall give Buyer such notice within 30 days of such discovery. A failure by Indemnitee to timely give the foregoing notice to Buyer shall not excuse Buyer from any indemnification liability except to the extent that Buyer is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.
 
 
E-5

 
 
(d)           Release.  Buyer, on behalf of himself and his Related Parties (as defined below), hereby releases and forever discharges Seller and its individual, joint or mutual, past and present representatives, Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, stockholders, controlling persons, subsidiaries, successors and assigns (individually, a “Releasee” and collectively, “Releasees”) from any and all claims, demands, proceedings, causes of action, orders, obligations, contracts, agreements, debts and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, both at law and in equity, which Buyer or any of his Related Parties now have or have ever had against any Releasee.

Amended and Restated Bylaws of

SmartHeat Inc.,

a Nevada Corporation

ARTICLE I

STOCKHOLDERS

1.01      Annual Meeting. An annual meeting of the stockholders of the corporation shall be held at 2:00 p.m., local time, on the third Thursday of May, in each year, commencing after the first anniversary of incorporation, but if such date is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then on the next succeeding business day, for the purpose of electing directors of the corporation to serve during the ensuing year and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting. If the election of the directors is not held on the day designated herein for any annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any adjournment thereof, the president shall cause the election to be held at a special meeting of the stockholders as soon thereafter as is convenient.

1.02

Special Meetings.

(a)        Special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the chairman of the board, if any, or the president and shall be called by the chairman, if any, the president or the Board of Directors at the written request of the holders of not less than a majority of the voting power of any class of the corporation's stock entitled to vote.

(b)        No business shall be acted upon at a special meeting except as set forth in the notice calling the meeting, unless one of the conditions for the holding of a meeting without notice set forth in Section 1.05 shall be satisfied, in which case any business may be transacted and the meeting shall be valid for all purposes.

1.03      Place of Meetings. Any meeting of the stockholders of the corporation may be held at its registered office in the State of Nevada or at such other place in or out of the State of Nevada and the United States as the Board of Directors may designate. A waiver of notice signed by stockholders entitled to vote may designate any place for the holding of such meeting.

1.04

Notice of Meetings; Waiver of Notice.

(a)        The president, a vice president, the secretary, an assistant secretary or any other individual designated by the Board of Directors shall sign and deliver, or cause to be delivered, written notice to the stockholders of any stockholders' meeting at least ten (10) days, but not more than sixty (60) days, before the date of such meeting. The notice shall state the place, date and time of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

(b)        In the case of an annual meeting, any proper business may be presented for action, except that action on any of the following items shall be taken only if the general nature of the proposal is stated in the notice:

 

1

 



 

 

(i)         Action with respect to any contract or transaction between the corporation and one or more of its directors or officers or between the corporation and any corporation, firm or association in which one or more of the corporation's directors or officers is a director or officer or is financially interested;

(ii)         Adoption of amendments to the Articles of Incorporation; or

(iii)        Action with respect to a merger, share exchange, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation, or dissolution of the corporation.

(c)        A copy of the notice shall be personally delivered or mailed postage prepaid to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting at the address appearing on the records of the corporation, and the notice shall be deemed delivered the date the same is deposited in the United States mail for transmission to such stockholder. If the address of any stockholder does not appear upon the records of the corporation, it will be sufficient to address any notice to such stockholder at the registered office of the corporation.

(d)        The written certificate of the individual signing a notice of meeting, setting forth the substance of the notice or having a copy thereof attached, the date the notice was mailed or personally delivered to the stockholders and the addresses to which the notice was mailed, shall be prima facie evidence of the manner and fact of giving such notice.

(e)        Any stockholder may waive notice of any meeting by a signed writing, either before or after the meeting. Such waiver of notice shall be deemed the equivalent of the giving of such notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall also constitute waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters not properly included in the notice itself if such objection is expressly made at the time such matters are presented at the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting needs to be specified in any written waiver or notice or consent except as may be provided otherwise by these Bylaws.

1.05

Meeting Without Notice.

(a)        Whenever all persons entitled to vote at any meeting consent, either by: (i) a writing on the records of the meeting or filed with the secretary, (ii) presence at such meeting and oral consent entered on the minutes, or (iii) taking part in the deliberations at such meeting without objection, such meeting shall be as valid as if a meeting regularly called and noticed.

(b)        At such meeting any business may be transacted which is not excepted from the written consent or to the consideration of which no objection for want of notice is made at the time.

 

2

 



 

 

(c)        If any meeting be irregular for want of notice or of such consent, provided a quorum was present at such meeting, the proceedings of the meeting may be ratified and approved and rendered likewise valid and the irregularity or defect therein waived by a writing signed by all parties having the right to vote at such meeting.

(d)        Such consent or approval may be by proxy or power of attorney, but all such proxies and powers of attorney must be in writing.

1.06

Determination of Stockholders of Record.

(a)        For the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any distribution or the allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion, or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action.

(b)        If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders: (i) entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (ii) entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed; and (iii) for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

1.07

Quorum; Adjourned Meetings.

(a)        Unless the Articles of Incorporation provide for a different proportion, stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power of the corporation's capital stock, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting. If, on any issue, voting by classes is required by the laws of the State of Nevada, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, at least a majority of the voting power within each such class is necessary to constitute a quorum of each such class.

(b)        If a quorum is not represented, a majority of the voting power so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be represented. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted as originally called. When a stockholders' meeting is adjourned to another time or place hereunder, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the

 

3

 



 

meeting at which the adjournment is taken. The stockholders present at a duly convened meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum of the voting power.

1.08

Voting; Manner of Acting.

(a)        Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, or in the resolution providing for the issuance of the preferred stock adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority expressly vested in it by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, each stockholder of record, or such stockholder's duly authorized proxy or attorney-in-fact, shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of voting stock standing registered in such stockholder's name on the record date.

(b)        Except as otherwise provided herein, all votes with respect to shares standing in the name of an individual on the record date (including pledged shares) shall be cast only by that individual or such individual's duly authorized proxy, attorney-in-fact, or voting trustee(s) pursuant to a voting trust. With respect to shares held by a representative of the estate of a deceased stockholder, guardian, conservator, custodian or trustee, votes may be cast by such holder upon proof of such representative capacity, even though the shares do not stand in the name of such holder. In the case of shares under the control of a receiver, the receiver may cast votes carried by such shares even though the shares do not stand in the name of the receiver; provided, that the order of a court of competent jurisdiction which appoints the receiver contains the authority to cast votes carried by such shares. If shares stand in the name of a minor, votes may be cast only by the duly appointed guardian of the estate of such minor if such guardian has provided the corporation with written proof of such appointment.

(c)        With respect to shares standing in the name of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity on the record date, votes may be cast: (i) in the case of a corporation, by such individual as the bylaws of such other corporation prescribe, by such individual as may be appointed by resolution of the board of directors of such other corporation or by such individual (including the officer making the authorization) authorized in writing to do so by the chairman of the board, if any, president or any vice president of such corporation and (ii) in the case of a partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity, by an individual representing such stockholder upon presentation to the corporation of satisfactory evidence of his or her authority to do so.

(d)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Corporation shall not vote, directly or indirectly, shares of its own stock owned by it; and such shares shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares. If shares in the Corporation are held by the Corporation in a fiduciary capacity, no votes shall be cast with respect thereto on any matter except to the extent that the beneficial owner thereof possesses and exercises a right to vote and gives the Corporation binding instructions on how to vote.

 

4

 



 

 

(e)        Any holder of shares entitled to vote on any matter may cast a portion of the votes in favor of such matter and refrain from casting the remaining votes or cast the same against the proposal, except in the case of elections of directors. If such holder entitled to vote votes any of its shares affirmatively and fails to specify the number of affirmative votes, it will be conclusively presumed that the holder is casting affirmative votes with respect to all shares held.

(f)         With respect to shares standing in the name of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, husband and wife as community property, tenants by the entirety, voting trustees, persons entitled to vote under a stockholder voting agreement or otherwise and shares held by two or more persons (including proxy holders) having the same fiduciary relationship in respect to the same shares, votes may be cast in the following manner:

(i)

If only one person votes, the vote of such person binds all.

(ii)         If more than one person casts votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all.

(iii)        If more than one person casts votes, but the vote is evenly split on a particular matter, the votes shall be deemed cast proportionately, as split.

(g)        If a quorum is present, unless the Articles of Incorporation provide for a different proportion, action by the stockholders entitled to vote on a matter other than the election of directors, is approved by and is the act of the stockholders, if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action, unless voting by classes is required for any action of the stockholders by the laws of the State of Nevada, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in which case the number of votes cast in favor of the action by the voting power of each such class must exceed the number of votes cast in opposition to the action by the voting power of each such class.

(h)        If a quorum is present, unless elected by written consent pursuant to these Bylaws and Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast.

1.09      Proxies. At any meeting of stockholders, any holder of shares entitled to vote may designate, in a manner permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, another person or persons to act as a proxy or proxies. Every proxy shall continue in full force and effect until its expiration or revocation in a manner permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.

1.10      Telephonic Meetings. Stockholders may participate in a meeting of the stockholders by means of a telephone conference or similar method of communication by which all individuals participating in the meeting can hear each other. Participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section 1.10 constitutes presence in person at the meeting.

 

5

 



 

 

1.11      Action Without Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if a written consent thereto is signed by the holders of the voting power of the corporation that would be required at a meeting to constitute the act of the stockholders. Whenever action is taken by written consent, a meeting of stockholders need not be called or notice given. The written consent may be signed in counterparts, including, without limitation, facsimile counterparts, and shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the stockholders.

1.12      Organization; Order of Business. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the chairman of the board, or in the absence of the chairman by the president, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation by the Board of Directors by a chairman chosen at the meeting by the stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes which all stockholders present in person or by proxy are entitled to cast. The secretary, or in the absence of the secretary an assistant secretary, shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in the absence of the secretary and any assistant secretary the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting. The order of business at each such meeting shall be as determined by the chairman of the meeting. The chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts and things as are necessary or desirable for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, the establishment of procedures for the maintenance of order and safety, limitation on the time allotted to questions or comments on the affairs of the corporation, restrictions on entry to such meeting after the time prescribed for the commencement thereof and the opening and closing of the voting polls.

ARTICLE II

DIRECTORS

2.01      Number, Tenure, and Qualifications. Unless a larger number is required by the laws of the State of Nevada or the Articles of Incorporation or until changed in the manner provided herein, the Board of Directors of the corporation shall consist of at least one (1) individual and not more than ten (10) individuals. Except as provided in Section 2.06 below, the directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders of the corporation and shall hold office until their successors are elected and qualify or until their earlier resignation or removal. A director need not be a stockholder of the corporation.

2.02      Change In Number. Subject to any limitations in the laws of the State of Nevada, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the number of directors within the fixed minimum and maximum set forth in Section 2.01 may be changed from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors or the stockholders without amendment to these Bylaws or the Articles of Incorporation.

2.03      Reduction In Number. No reduction of the number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director prior to the expiration of his or her term of office.

 

6

 



 

 

2.04      Resignation. Any director may resign effective upon giving written notice to the chairman of the board, if any, the president or the secretary, or in the absence of all of them, any other officer, unless the notice specifies a later time for effectiveness of such resignation. A majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum, may appoint a successor to take office when the resignation becomes effective, each director so appointed to hold office during the remainder of the term of office of the resigning director.

2.05

Removal.

(a)        The Board of Directors of the corporation, by majority vote, may declare vacant the office of a director who has been declared incompetent by an order of a court of competent jurisdiction or convicted of a felony.

(b)        Any director may be removed from office by the vote or written consent of stockholders representing not less than two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote.

2.06

Vacancies.

(a)        All vacancies, including those caused by an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum, or by the stockholders entitled to vote at any annual meeting or special meeting held in accordance with Article I, unless it is otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation unless, in the case of removal of a director, the stockholders by a majority of voting power shall have appointed a successor to the removed director. Subject to the provisions of Subsection (b) below, (i) in the case of the replacement of a director, the appointed director shall hold office during the remainder of the term of office of the replaced director, and (ii) in the case of an increase in the number of directors, the appointed director shall hold office until the next meeting of stockholders at which directors are elected.

(b)        If, after the filling of any vacancy by the directors, the directors then in office who have been elected by the stockholders shall constitute less than a majority of the directors then in office, any holder or holders of an aggregate of five percent (5%) or more of the total voting power entitled to vote may call a special meeting of the stockholders to elect the entire Board of Directors. The term of office of any director shall terminate upon such election of a successor.

2.07      Annual and Regular Meetings. Immediately following the adjournment of, and at the same place as, the annual or any special meeting of the stockholders at which directors are elected other than pursuant to Section 2.06 of this Article, the Board of Directors, including directors newly elected, shall hold its annual meeting without call or notice, other than this provision, to elect officers and to transact such further business as may be necessary or appropriate. The Board of Directors may provide by resolution the place, date, and hour for holding regular meetings between annual meetings.

 

7

 



 

 

2.08      Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the chairman of the board or by the president or secretary, and shall be called by the chairman of the board, if any, the president or the secretary upon the request of any three (3) directors. If the chairman of the board or, if there be no chairman, both the president and secretary, refuse or neglect to call such special meeting, a special meeting may be called by notice signed by any two (2) directors.

2.09      Place of Meetings. Any regular or special meeting of the directors of the corporation may be held at such place as the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation, as the notice calling such meeting, may designate. A waiver of notice signed by the directors may designate any place for the holding of such meeting.

2.10      Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.07, there shall be delivered to all directors, at least twenty-four (24) hours before the time of such meeting, a copy of a written notice of any meeting (i) by delivery of such notice personally; (ii) by mailing such notice postage prepaid; (iii) by facsimile; (iv) by electronic mail; (v) by overnight courier; or (vi) by telegram. Such notice shall be addressed in the manner provided for notice to stockholders in Section 1.04(c). If mailed inside the United States, the notice shall be deemed delivered two (2) business days following the date the same is deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid. If mailed outside the United States, the notice shall be deemed delivered four (4) business days following the date the same is deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid. If sent via facsimile, the notice shall be deemed delivered upon sender's receipt of confirmation of the successful transmission. If the address of any director does not appear upon the records of the Corporation it will be sufficient to address any notice to such director at the registered office of the Corporation. Any director may waive notice of any meeting, and the attendance of a director at a meeting and oral consent entered on the minutes of such meeting shall constitute waiver of notice of the meeting unless such director objects, prior to the transaction of any business, that the meeting was not lawfully called, noticed or convened. Attendance for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of business thereat because the meeting was not properly called or convened shall not constitute presence or a waiver of notice for purposes hereof.

2.11

Quorum; Adjourned Meetings.

(a)        A majority of the directors in office, at a meeting duly assembled, is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

(b)        At any meeting of the Board of Directors where a quorum is not present, a majority of those present may adjourn, from time to time, until a quorum is present, and no notice of such adjournment shall be required. At any adjourned meeting where a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which could have been transacted at the meeting originally called.

2.12      Manner of Acting. The affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present is the act of the Board of Directors.

 

8

 



 

 

2.13      Telephonic Meetings. Members of the Board of Directors or of any committee designated by the Board of Directors may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or such committee by means of a telephone conference or similar method of communication by which all persons participating in such meeting can hear each other. Participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section 2.13 constitutes presence in person at the meeting.

2.14      Action Without Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action, a written consent thereto is signed by all of the members of the Board of Directors or the committee. The written consent may be signed in counterparts, including, without limitation, facsimile counterparts, and shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee.

2.15

Powers and Duties.

(a)        Except as otherwise restricted in the laws of the State of Nevada or the Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors has full control over the business and affairs of the corporation. The Board of Directors may delegate any of its authority to manage, control or conduct the business of the corporation to the President, including the power to subdelegate, and in the absence or disqualification of the President, to any standing or special committee or to any officer or agent and to appoint any persons to be agents of the corporation with such powers, including the power to subdelegate, and upon such terms as may be deemed fit.

(b)        The Board of Directors may present to the stockholders at annual meetings of the stockholders, and, when called for by a majority vote of the stockholders at an annual meeting or a special meeting of the stockholders, shall so present, a full and clear report of the condition of the corporation.

(f)         Other Matters Relating to Insurance or Financial Arrangements. Any insurance or other financial arrangement made on behalf of a person pursuant to this Section may be provided by the Corporation or any other person approved by the Board of Directors, even if all or part of the other person's stock or other securities is owned by the Corporation.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Seller and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that its enforceability may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

(b)        Governmental Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement requires no consent, approval, Order, authorization or action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority.

(c)        Non-Contravention; Consents. The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not (i) violate the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Seller or (ii) violate any applicable law or order.

4.          Representations and Warranties of Buyer. Buyer represents and warrants to Seller as of the date hereof as follows:

(a)        Enforceability. The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this Agreement are within Buyer’s powers. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Buyer and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that its enforceability may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles.

(b)        Governmental Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this Agreement require no consent, approval, Order, authorization or action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority.

(c)        Non-Contravention; Consents. The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not violate any applicable Law or Order.

(d)        Purchase for Investment. Buyer is financially able to bear the economic risks of acquiring an interest in the Company and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and have no need for liquidity in this investment. Buyer has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters in general, and with respect to businesses of a nature similar to the business of the Company, so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of, and making an informed business decision with regard to, the acquisition of the Shares. Buyer is acquiring the Shares solely for their own account and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any distribution or public offering thereof, within the meaning of any applicable securities laws and regulations, unless such distribution or offering is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an exemption from such registration is available.

 

- 2 -

 



 

Buyer has (i) received all the information they have deemed necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Shares, (ii) had an opportunity to make such investigation as she has desired pertaining to the Company and the acquisition of an interest therein, and to verify the information which is, and has been, made available to her and (iii) had the opportunity to ask questions of Seller concerning the Company. Buyer has received no public solicitation or advertisement with respect to the offer or sale of the Shares. Buyer realizes that the Shares are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, the resale of the Shares is restricted by federal and state securities laws and, accordingly, the Shares must be held indefinitely unless their resale is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available for their resale. Buyer understands that any resale of the Shares by her must be registered under the Securities Act (and any applicable state securities law) or be effected in circumstances that, in the opinion of counsel for the Company at the time, create an exemption or otherwise do not require registration under the Securities Act (or applicable state securities laws). Buyer acknowledges and consents that certificates now or hereafter issued for the Shares will bear a legend substantially as follows:

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS (THE “STATE ACTS”), HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND QUALIFICATION UNDER THE STATE ACTS OR PURSUANT TO EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF THE SECURITIES ACT, THE EXEMPTIONS AFFORDED BY SECTION 4(1) OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND RULE 144 THEREUNDER). AS A PRECONDITION TO ANY SUCH TRANSFER, THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES SHALL BE FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OPINING AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION AND/OR SUCH OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY BE SATISFACTORY THERETO THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER WILL NOT VIOLATE THE SECURITIES LAWS.

Buyer understands that the Shares are being sold to her pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(1) of the Securities Act and that Seller is relying upon the representations made herein as one of the bases for claiming the Section 4(1) exemption.

(e)        Liabilities. Following the Closing, Seller will have no debts, liabilities or obligations relating to the Company or its business or activities, whether before or after the Closing, and there are no outstanding guaranties, performance or payment bonds, letters of credit

 

- 3 -

 



 

or other contingent contractual obligations that have been undertaken by Seller directly or indirectly in relation to the Company or its business and that may survive the Closing.

(f)         Title to Purchase Price Shares. Buyer is the sole record and beneficial owner of the Purchase Price Shares. At Closing, Buyer will have good and marketable title to the Purchase Price Shares, which Purchase Price Shares are, and at the Closing will be, free and clear of all options, warrants, pledges, claims, Liens and encumbrances, and any restrictions or limitations prohibiting or restricting transfer to Seller, except for restrictions on transfer as contemplated by applicable securities laws.

(g)        Capitalization. As of the date hereof, Seller owns the Shares, which interests represent 100% of the authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company. The Shares are duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid, non-assessable and free and clear of any Liens.

5.

Indemnification and Release.

(a)        Indemnification. Buyer covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Seller, and its officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents, representatives and affiliates (collectively, together with Seller, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) at all times from and after the date of this Agreement from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, adjustments, costs and expenses (including specifically, but without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation), whether or not involving a third party claim and regardless of any negligence of any Seller Indemnified Party (collectively, “Losses”), incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party as a result of or arising from (i) any breach of the representations and warranties of Buyer set forth herein or in certificates delivered in connection herewith, (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer under this Agreement, (iii) any debt, liability or obligation of the Company, whether incurred or arising prior to the date hereof or after, (iv) any debt, liability or obligation of Seller for actions taken prior to that certain share exchange transaction by the Seller with the shareholders of Taiyu Machinery & Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd (the “Share Exchange”), including, without limitation, any amounts due or owing to any former officer, director or Affiliate of Seller, (v) the conduct and operations of the business of the Company whether before or after the Closing, (vi) claims asserted against the Company whether arising before or after the Closing, or (vii) any federal or state income tax payable by Seller and attributable to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or activities prior to the Share Exchange or with respect to the Company after the Share Exchange.

(b)

Third Party Claims.

(i)         If any claim or liability (a “Third-Party Claim”) should be asserted against any of the Seller Indemnified Parties (the “Indemnitee”) by a third party after the Closing for which Buyer has an indemnification obligation under the terms of Section 5(a), then the Indemnitee shall notify Buyer (the “Indemnitor”) within 20 days after the Third-Party Claim is asserted by a third party (said notification being referred to as a “Claim Notice”) and give the Indemnitor a reasonable opportunity to take part in any examination of the books and records of the Indemnitee relating to such Third-Party Claim and to assume the defense of such Third-Party

 

- 4 -

 



 

Claim and in connection therewith and to conduct any proceedings or negotiations relating thereto and necessary or appropriate to defend the Indemnitee and/or settle the Third-Party Claim. The expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of all negotiations, proceedings, contests, lawsuits or settlements with respect to any Third-Party Claim shall be borne by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor agrees to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, through counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, then the Indemnitor shall be entitled to control the conduct of such defense, and shall be responsible for any expenses of the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim so long as the Indemnitor continues such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitor shall be responsible for paying all settlements made or judgments entered with respect to any Third-Party Claim the defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnitor. Except as provided in subsection (ii) below, both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee must approve any settlement of a Third-Party Claim. A failure by the Indemnitee to timely give the Claim Notice shall not excuse Indemnitor from any indemnification liability except only to the extent that the Indemnitor is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.

(ii)         If the Indemnitor shall not agree to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, or shall fail to continue such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnitee may defend against such Third-Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate and the Indemnitee may settle such Third-Party Claim, in its sole discretion, on such terms as it may deem appropriate. The Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the amount of all settlement payments and expenses, legal and otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such Third-Party Claim. If no settlement of such Third-Party Claim is made, then the Indemnitor shall satisfy any judgment rendered with respect to such Third-Party Claim before the Indemnitee is required to do so, and pay all expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in the defense against such Third-Party Claim.

(c)        Non-Third-Party Claims. Upon discovery of any claim for which Buyer has an indemnification obligation under the terms of this Section 5 which does not involve a claim by a third party against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to Buyer of such claim and, in any case, shall give Buyer such notice within 30 days of such discovery. A failure by Indemnitee to timely give the foregoing notice to Buyer shall not excuse Buyer from any indemnification liability except to the extent that Buyer is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.

(d)        Release. Buyer, on behalf of himself and his Related Parties (as defined below), hereby releases and forever discharges Seller and its individual, joint or mutual, past and present representatives, Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, stockholders, controlling persons, subsidiaries, successors and assigns (individually, a “Releasee” and collectively, “Releasees”) from any and all claims, demands, proceedings, causes of action, orders, obligations, contracts, agreements, debts and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, both at law and in equity, which Buyer or any of his Related Parties now have or have ever had against any Releasee. Buyer hereby irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or demand, or commencing, instituting or

causing to be commenced, any proceeding of any kind against any Releasee, based upon any matter released hereby. “Related Parties” shall mean, with respect to Buyer, (i) any Person that directly or indirectly controls, is directly or indirectly controlled by, or is directly or indirectly under common control with Buyer, (ii) any Person in which Buyer holds a Material Interest or (iii) any Person with respect to which Buyer serves as a general partner or a trustee (or in a similar capacity).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the shareholders of Shenyang Taiyu Machinery & Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd.
 
We have audited the balance sheet of Shenyang Taiyu Machinery & Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and the related statements of income and other comprehensive income,  shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Shenyang Taiyu Machinery and Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd. (the “Company” or “Taiyu”) was incorporated in the Liaoning Province, People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) in July, 2002.  Taiyu is engaged in manufacturing and sale of plate heat exchangers and various packages, thermo meter testing devices and heat usage calculators.  The Company is an authorized OEM of the SONDEX brand; SONDEX is the second largest plate heat exchanger manufacturer in the world.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principle of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 55% owned subsidiary, Qingdao Yushi Heat Power Equipment Co., Ltd (Yushi).  Yushi is engaged in manufacturing and selling of heat power equipment. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
In preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets and the valuation of inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  As of December 31, 2007, the Company maintained restricted cash of $537,098 in several bank accounts, of which, $4,973 was collateralized for certain letters of credit, $532,125 was pledged for the guarantee of certain contacts execution and completion.
 
Accounts and Retentions Receivable
 
The Company’s policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable.  Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.  Based on historical collection activity, the Company had allowance of $330,518 at December 31, 2007.
 
At December 31, 2007, the Company had retentions receivable from customers for product quality assurance in the amount of $360,628.  The retention rate varies from 5% to 20% of the sales price with variable terms from 3 months to two years.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMER 31, 2007 and 2006


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Accounts receivable is net of unearned interest of $148,421 at December 31, 2007.  Unearned interest represents imputed interest on accounts receivable with due dates over one year from the invoice date discounted at the Company's borrowing rate which was 7.04 % in 2006 and 2007.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a moving weighted average basis. Cost of work in progress and finished goods comprises direct material, direct production cost and an allocated portion of production overheads.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized.  When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations.  Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method with a 10% salvage value and estimated lives ranging from 5 to 20 years as follows:
 
 Building  20 years
 Vehicle  5 years
 Office Equipment  5 years
 Production Equipment  5-10 years
 
Land Use Right
 
Right to use land is stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided using the straight-line method over 50 years.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
 
Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.  Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2007, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.

DECEMER 31, 2007 and 2006


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
 
The Company does not have any significant deferred tax asset or liability that relate to tax jurisdictions not covered by the tax holiday.
 
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007.  As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company made a comprehensive review of its portfolio of tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by FIN 48.  As a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48, the Company recognized no material adjustments to liabilities or stockholders equity.  When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained.  The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any.  Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.  Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.
 
Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104.  Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectibility is reasonably assured.  Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as unearned revenue.

DECEMER 31, 2007 and 2006


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added tax (“VAT”).  All of the Company’s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to Chinese value-added tax of 17% of the gross sales price.  This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing their finished product.  The Company recorded VAT payable and VAT receivable net of payments in the financial statements.  The VAT tax return is filed offsetting the payables against the receivables.
 
VAT payable on sales and VAT on purchases was $2,317,620 and $1,524,804 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and $1,425,993 and $1,202,313 for the year ended December 31, 2006, respectively.  Sales and purchases are recorded net of VAT collected and paid as the Company acts as an agent for the government.  VAT taxes are not affected by the income tax holiday.
 
Sales returns and allowances was $ 0 for both 2007 and 2006. The Company does not provide unconditional right of return, price protection or any other concessions to its customers.
 
The Company provides free after-sale service for a period of one year.  During 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded $383,177 and $76,023, of such expenses, respectively, which is included in selling expenses.
 
Cost of Goods Sold
 
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of material costs, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead which are directly attributable to the production of products.  Write-down of inventories to lower of cost or market is also recorded in cost of goods sold.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable and other receivables. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of its clients' financial condition and customer payment practices to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.
 
The operations of the Company are located 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 economy.
 
Statement of Cash Flows
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company's operations is calculated based upon the local currencies.  As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Basic and Diluted Net Income per Share
 
The Company is a limited company formed under the laws of the PRC. Like limited liability companies (LLC) in the United States, limited liability companies in the PRC do not issue shares to the owners. The owners however, are called shareholders. Ownership interest is determined in proportion to capital contributed.  Accordingly, earnings per share data are not presented.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments.  The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
 
Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
The Company’s functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”). For financial reporting purposes, RMB has been translated into United States dollars ("USD") as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders' equity as "Accumulated other comprehensive income". Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income. There has been no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.
 
The Company uses Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130) “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders.
 
Segment Reporting
 
SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting.  The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.  Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.
 
SFAS 131 has no effect on the Company's financial statements as substantially all of the Company's operations are conducted in one industry segment.  All of the Company's assets are located in the PRC.

New Accounting Pronouncements
 
Business Combinations
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R will significantly change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS 141R will change the accounting treatment for certain specific items, including:
 
 
·
Acquisition costs will be generally expensed as incurred;
 
 
·
Noncontrolling interests (formerly known as “minority interests” – see SFAS 160 discussion below) will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date;
 
 
·
Acquired contingent liabilities will be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently measured at either the higher of such amount or the amount determined under existing guidance for non-acquired contingencies;
 
 
·
In-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date;
 
 
·
Restructuring costs associated with a business combination will be generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and
 
 
·
Changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense.
 
SFAS 141R also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. Accordingly, since we are a calendar year-end company we will continue to record and disclose business combinations following existing GAAP until January 1, 2009. We expect SFAS 141R will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions at that time.
 
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No. 51
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in

deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Like SFAS 141R discussed above, earlier adoption is prohibited. We have not completed our evaluation of the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 160 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements,” which establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under the accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for fiscal year, including financial statements for an interim period within the fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 157 will have on its financial statements.
 
Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R
 
In September 2006, the FASB, issued SFAS, No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R,” which requires employers to recognize the underfunded or overfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income. Additionally, SFAS No. 158 requires employers to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. The new reporting requirements and related new footnote disclosure rules of SFAS No. 158 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 158 for the year end 2006, and the effect of recognizing the funded status in accumulated other comprehensive income was not significant. The new measurement date requirement applies for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008.
 
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
 
In February of 2007 the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.”  The statement

permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  The statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.  The Company is analyzing the potential accounting treatment.
 
Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements
 
In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”), which provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. The Company adopted SAB 108 in the fourth quarter of 2006 with no impact on its financial statements.

The Company is now only required to transfer 10% of its net income, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the Company’s registered capital.
 
The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholding or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered capital.

Common welfare fund is a voluntary fund that the Company can elect to transfer 5% to 10% of its net income to this fund.  The Company did not make any contribution to this fund for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
This fund can only be utilized on capital items for the collective benefit of the Company’s employees, such as construction of dormitories, cafeteria facilities, and other staff welfare facilities. This fund is non-distributable other than upon liquidation.

Any deficit in the SCWF was charged in turn to Statutory Surplus Reserve, additional paid-in capital and undistributed profit of previous years.

At December 31, 2005, the Company did not have a deficit in the SCWF.

The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies under the current law. In China, foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions.
