10. DEPOSIT ON ACQUISITION OF FUTURE LAND USE RIGHT

 

Deposit on acquisition of future land use right as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 amounted to $24,076,660 and $12,710,719 respectively.

 

The Company's related party, Zhengzhou No. 2 Iron and Steel Company Limited ("Zhengzhou Company") owns a land use right totaling 24.94 acres. The Company's subsidiary, Henan Green, currently leases a part of the land use rights for 6.69 acres from Zhengzhou Company which was the former owner of Henan Green. The Company's existing production lines and warehouses are located on this parcel of land. For operation risk mitigating purposes, the Company has started the process of transferring the title of the land use right for the 24.94 acres from Zhengzhou Company.

 

On February 26, 2013, Henan Green Complex Materials Co., Ltd. ("Henan Green"), the indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an equity/asset transfer agreement ("the "Equity Transfer Agreement") with the Zhengzhou Company pursuant to which Henan Green acquired 100% ownership of Zhengzhou Company.

 

To facilitate Zhengzhou Company's acquisition, Henan Green prepaid $24,076,660 for the deposit on acquisition of future land use right which included payments of $11,235,775 directly to two unrelated companies to settle the loans on behalf of Zhengzhou Company and $12,840,885 for the deposit on acquisition of future land use right as of December 31, 2012. The total consideration to be paid is $43.6 million (exchange rate at June 30, 2013). The payment of acquisition was fully settled as at June 30, 2013 but the share transfer of Zhengzhou Steel and the land use right transfer are still in process.
