NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organizations

Asia Carbon Industries, Inc. (“Asia Carbon” or “Company”) was incorporated June 23, 2008 under the laws of the State of Maryland.  The Company is a holding Company to develop business opportunities in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).

On November 10, 2008, Asia Carbon formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Jin Zheng Li-Te-Wei-Si Carbon (Taiyuan) Inc. (“Liteweisi”) under PRC law in Taiyuan, China. Liteweisi is a management company to manage operations in China.

Taiyuan Hongxing Carbon Black Ltd. Company (“Hongxing”) was incorporated December 4, 2003 under the laws of the PRC. Hongxing is located at Qingxu County, Taiyuan, Shanxi province of China. Hongxing had two shareholders with registered capital of $384,300. Hongxing’s registered capital was $3,316,300 after one shareholder contributed $2,932,000 to Hongxing in 2008.

On December 29, 2009, Asia Carbon had, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Liteweisi, entered into Entrusted Management, Exclusive Option, Exclusive Purchase, Pledge of Equity and Shareholders’ Voting Proxy Agreements (collectively, the “Entrusted Agreements”) with Hongxing and shareholders of Hongxing, Guoyun Yao and Chunde Meng (“Hongxing Shareholders”). The effect of the Entrusted Agreements is to cede control of management and economic benefits of Hongxing to Liteweisi.  Asia Carbon issued 36,239,394 restricted shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), to Karen Prudente, nominee and trustee for the Hongxing Shareholders for Hongxing and the Hongxing Shareholders for the Entrusted Agreements with Liteweisi.

The Entrusted Agreements empowered Asia Carbon, through Liteweisi, the ability to substantially influence Hongxing’s daily operations and financial affairs, appoint its senior executives and approve all matters requiring shareholders’ approval. As a result of these Entrusted Agreements, which obligate Asia Carbon to absorb a majority of the risk of loss from Hongxing’s activities and enable Asia Carbon to receive a majority of its expected residual returns, Asia Carbon, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, accounts for Hongxing as its Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) under ASC 810-10. Accordingly, Asia Carbon consolidates Hongxing’s operating results, assets and liabilities.

For accounting purposes, the transaction was accounted for in a manner similar to a reverse merger or recapitalization, since the stockholders of Hongxing owned a majority of Asia Carbon’s Common Stock immediately following the transaction. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and historical operations reflected in the consolidated financial statements prior to the transaction are those of Hongxing and are recorded at the historical cost of Hongxing, and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the transaction include the assets and liabilities of Asia Carbon, Liteweisi, and Hongxing (collectively, the “Company”), historical operations of Hongxing, and operations of Asia Carbon and Liteweisi from the date of the transaction. The 36,239,394 restricted shares of Common Stock issued to Karen Prudente were presented as outstanding for all periods.

Asia Carbon, through its operating company in China, manufactures three carbon black products N220, N330 and N660 under the brand name “Great Double Star”. Most of the Company’s products are used by the domestic tire industry.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Asia Carbon and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions were eliminated in consolidation.
