PART I
 
ITEM 1.  
BUSINESS.
 
The Company
 
References in this annual report to “we,” “us,” or “Fuda” refer to Fuda Faucet Works, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries and Jiangxi Yiyang Fuda Copper Co., Ltd. (“Fuda Yiyang”), a variable interest entity under the contractual arrangements with us whose financial statements are consolidated with ours, unless the context specifically states or implies otherwise.

We develop, manufacture, distribute and market a wide range of brass faucets and related spouts and fittings. We produce all of our products in China and export most of our products in international markets, primarily in the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. We sell our products to distributors rather than to end users.

We began our business by focusing on copper re-processing in 1995. In 2002, we began to produce and sell brass faucets, spouts and fittings to the Chinese local market, and in 2004, we began to sell our European style products internationally.
 
About Us
 
We are a Delaware corporation, incorporated in 1969 under the name Magnum Communications Corp. We subsequently changed our name to Vacation Ownership Marketing, Inc. As of May 10, 2004, we changed our corporate name to Capital Solutions I, Inc. On January 3, 2008, we changed our corporate name to Fuda Faucet Works, Inc.

Our executive office is located at Ge Jia Ba, Hua Ting, Yiyang, Jiangxi, PRC 334400.  Our telephone number is 86 793-5887178.  Our website is www.jxfuda.com.  Information on our website and any other website is not a part of this annual report.
 
Stock Distribution
 
On January 3, 2008, we effected a 3.2-for-one stock distribution of our common stock pursuant to which each share of common stock was converted into 3.2 shares of common stock.  All references to shares and per share information in this annual report give effect to the stock distribution.
 
Currency References
 
Our business is conducted in China, using RMB, the currency of China, and our financial statements are presented in United States dollars.   In this annual report, we refer to assets, obligations, commitments and liabilities in our financial statements in United States dollars.   These dollar references are based on the exchange rate of RMB to United States dollars, determined as of a specific date.   Changes in the exchange rate will affect the amount of our obligations and the value of our assets in terms of United States dollars which may result in an increase or decrease in the amount of our obligations (expressed in dollars) and the value of our assets, including accounts receivable (expressed in dollars).
 
Reverse Acquisition
 
On December 3, 2007, we (then known as Capital Solutions I, Inc.) consummated a share exchange agreement with Jibrin Issa Jibrin Al Jibrin, trustee (the “Trustee”) of the Wu Yiting Stock Trust (the “Trust”), which was the sole stockholder of Moral Star Development Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Moral Star BVI”).  As a result of the share exchange the trust became our controlling stockholder, Moral Star BVI became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and the business of Moral Star BVI and its affiliated companies became our business.  The sole beneficiary of the Trust is Wu Yiting, who, as a result of the exchange, became our chief executive officer.

The share exchange is treated as a reverse acquisition.  For accounting purposes, Moral Star BVI is treated as the acquiring company and our financial statements for periods prior to the transaction reflect the historical operations of Moral Star BVI and its affiliated companies.

Contractual Arrangements
 
Moral Star BVI owns 100% of the stock of Jiangxi Moral Star Copper Technology Co., Ltd. (“Moral Star China”), which is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise under the laws of the PRC.  Moral Star China is a party to a series of contractual arrangements with Fuda Yiyang, a limited liability company headquartered in, and organized under the laws of, the PRC.

Fuda Yiyang was incorporated as a limited liability company under the laws of the PRC on November 20, 1995, and Wu Yiting, our chief executive officer and chairman of the board of directors, is the sole owner of Fuda Yiyang.  PRC law currently has limits on foreign ownership of certain companies.  To comply with these foreign ownership restrictions, we operate our businesses in China through Fuda Yiyang.  Fuda Yiyang has the licenses and approvals necessary to operate its business in China.  We have a series of contractual arrangements with Fuda Yiyang and its sole owner pursuant to which we own and operate the business of Fuda Yiyang.  Through these contractual arrangements, we also have the ability to substantially influence Fuda Yiyang’s daily operations and financial affairs, appoint its senior executives and approve all matters requiring stockholder approval.  As a result of these contractual arrangements, which enable us to control Fuda Yiyang, we are considered the primary beneficiary of Fuda Yiyang.  Accordingly, we consolidate the results, assets and liabilities of Fuda Yiyang in our financial statements, and the business described in this annual report is the business that was conducted by Fuda Yiyang prior to the share exchange transaction.

Our relationships with Fuda Yiyang and its sole owner are governed by a series of contractual arrangements between Moral Star China and Fuda Yiyang.  Under PRC laws, each of Moral Star China and Fuda Yiyang is an independent legal person and none of them is exposed to liabilities incurred by the other parties.  On December 3, 2007, we entered into the following contractual arrangements with Fuda Yiyang or its owner.

(i) Management Agreement. Pursuant to the management agreement, Moral Star China manages and operates Fuda Yiyang’s business.  In implementing this agreement, Moral Star China manages the operations of Fuda Yiyang, including, but not limited to, nominating and replacing members of Fuda Yiyang’s board, determining compensation and controlling management and day-to-day operation.  All revenue (total profit (if any) after deduction of necessary expenses) generated by Fuda Yiyang shall be paid to Moral Star China and Moral Star China is responsible for paying Fuda Yiyang’s obligations incurred in connection with its business.  In addition, Moral Star China manages and controls all of Fuda Yiyang’s funds.

(ii) Related Transactions Agreement. Under the related transactions agreement among Fuda Yiyang, Moral Star China, and Yiyang Kunpeng Worn Metal Recycling Co., Ltd. (“Kunpeng”), a company also owned by Wu Yiting, Kunpeng agreed to supply Fuda Yiyang and Moral Star China on an exclusive basis with recycled copper at its original cost, which will be not greater than the local market price.  When the price of worn copper fluctuates in the local market by 20%, Kunpeng must notify Fuda Yiyang and Moral Star China.  This agreement does not prohibit Fuda Yiyang or Moral Star China from obtaining recycled copper from other sources.  Kunpeng is presently our largest supplier of raw materials.  The agreement is a long-term agreement with no set expiration date.

(iii) Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, Moral Star China has a right to purchase the entire business of Fuda Yiyang.  Moral Star China controls all of the operations of Fuda Yiyang and under the purchase agreement, agrees to purchase Fuda Yiyang’s equipment and patents and leases Fuda Yiyang’s manufacturing plants, land and remaining equipment.  The purchase agreement is designed so that Moral Star China can conduct its business in China.  In December 2007, Moral Star China purchased equipment from Fuda Yiyang in the amount of $368,615.

(iv) Stockholders’ Voting Proxy Agreement. Pursuant to the proxy agreement, Wu Yiting, sole owner of Fuda Yiyang, agreed to irrevocably grant a person to be designated by Moral Star China with the right to exercise the stockholder voting rights among other rights, including the attendance at and the voting of the Fuda Yiyang shares at stockholder meetings (or by written consent in lieu of such meetings) in accordance with applicable laws and its articles of association, including but not limited to the rights to sell or transfer all or any of her equity interests of Fuda Yiyang, and appoint and vote for the directors and chairman as the authorized representative of the stockholders of Fuda Yiyang.

(v) Shares Pledge Agreement. Under the pledge agreement, Wu Yiting pledged all of her equity interests in Fuda Yiyang to Moral Star China to guarantee Fuda Yiyang’s performance of its obligations under all related agreements by and between Moral Star China and Fuda Yiyang.  Neither Wu Yiting nor Fuda Yiyang may transfer any of the pledged shares without the permission of Moral Star China.

(vi) Exclusive Option Agreement. Under the option agreement between the Wu Yiting and Moral Star China, Wu Yiting irrevocably granted Moral Star China or its designated person an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of the equity interests in Fuda Yiyang, or to purchase the real estate and land used currently owned by Fuda Yiyang, at a price agreed upon by all parties.  This agreement may not be terminated without the unanimous consent of all the parties, except that Moral Star China may, by giving thirty (30) days prior notice to the parties, may terminate this agreement.

(vii) Patent Transfer Agreement. Under the patent transfer agreement, Fuda Yiyang will transfer its patent certificate of utility model named Bending Water Pipe, designed by Yu Zeshi, patent number ZL 99 2 59230.5, certificate number 427197 to Moral Star China. Moral Star China is to pay an assignment fee for the patent of RMB 10,000 (US$ 1,392). If Fuda Yiyang does not transfer the patent without reason, Fuda Yiyang is to pay a penalty fee to Moral Star China.  If Fuda Yiyang delays the transfer for more than two (2) months, Moral Star China has the right to terminate this agreement and request a return of the assignment fee.  We are now in the process of application of transfer.

Our Business
 
We are a holding company, and all of our operations are conducted by our Chinese subsidiary, Moral Star China, and our affiliated company, Fuda Yiyang.

We provide services as an original equipment manufacturer or original design manufacturer for other companies.  We plan to broaden the scope of our business to offer a broader range of services, including market research and tracking, product design, and integrated services including assembly, delivery and related services.

The manufacture of brass faucets and related products is a labor-intensive industry.  China has become one of most significant manufacturer of these products in the past two decades.  Especially during the recent years, a number of global producers of sanitary ware and bathroom fittings have established manufacturing facilities in China.  Our growth is dependent on expanding our manufacturing capacity, upgrading our products, improving quality, and improving international sales and service.

The market for faucet and related products is largely dependent upon the market for real estate.  Although there is not a direct correlation between the real estate market and the market for bathroom fixtures, any slowdown affecting new residential construction would have an effect on the market for products, such as bathroom faucets and related products, that are used in new construction.  Due to continuing global economic downturn, which has significantly impaired the real estate market, our export sales declined $2.3 million, or 12%, to $16.2 million for the second half of 2008, compared to the first half of 2008.  At the same time, our bad debt expense increased significantly.  From August to December 2008, we incurred a bad debt expense of approximately $4.2 million.

We completed the construction of a new factory in April 2008 and we completed improvements on our original facilities in September 2008. Thus our production capacity increased to 3.5 million sets. The total investment was approximately $12 million.
 
Product Lines and Manufacturing Process
 
Our products include kitchen and bar faucets, bathroom faucets and bathroom accessories.  The following table set forth information as to the sales of these products for 2008, 2007 and 2006 (dollars in thousands):

The basic process of our products consists of molding and forming the main body of the faucet, applying a finish, and then assembling the various components, followed by inspection and packaging.

Forging is the process of shaping metals by deforming them in some way.  In hot forging, heated metal is forced into a shape similar to the faucet body.  In molding and forming our faucets, we use hot forging to create the shape of the faucet.  We believe that forging is a more efficient process than machining since it can produce a near-net shape in about three seconds with little waste.  As a result, only minor mechanical machining is required for us to produce the exact dimensions needed.  After the machining process is completed, the faucet body is polished in an eight step process.

The next step is plating.  Plating involves a leaching process that eliminates remaining molecules from the brass surface.  The conventional plating is nickel and chrome since these materials are most resistant to corrosion.  First, a base coating of electroplated nickel is applied, followed by a thin coating of electroplated chromium.  The chrome layer is deposited from a plating bath containing certain additives that improve corrosion resistance.

Finally, the faucets and other components are sent for assembly.  This process takes place on rotary assembly machines, which are precisely controlled.  The sprout, if separate, is first installed, followed by the ceramic cartridge.  This cartridge is screwed in place with a brass screw using a pneumatic gun, and then the handle is attached by hand.  After assembly, the faucets are packaged in boxes along with any other components that are needed for final installation.

Our products are checked against the blueprints to ensure it matches all dimensions.  A go-no-go gauge is used to make sure the interior and exterior threads fit together.

Before plating, parts are visually checked for surface imperfections, which are removed by sanding.  After final assembly, every faucet is pressure tested with air and water for leaks and tested for durability.

The lab will sample some faucets, make use of special devices to test the thickness of plating, carry out a punished/forcing test to evaluate the working life of faucet, and ultimately approve for final installation.
 
Market and Competition
 
Overview of Faucet Production Industry
 
Kitchen and bar faucets, bathroom faucets and accessories are elements of the building and construction industry.  Key factors that affect the market for these products include:

·  
Rising or falling income of the people and businesses;

·  
Growing awareness among the people regarding the decorative aspects of faucet;

·  
Increasing urbanization, which is resulting in growing demand for high level faucets;

·  
Rising or falling investment in the real estate industry.

With the increasing world population, the demand for more houses and hence faucet products has been growing.  Rapid urbanization and growth of number of residential facilities are also deriving the demand.  Rising personal incomes and increasing purchasing power parity have contributed to the growth of this industry.  However, the current worldwide economic downturn, particularly as it relates to real estate, has had a significant effect in the market for bathroom fixtures.  Our sales decreased 12%, to $16.2 million, in the second half of 2008, compared to $18.5 million in the first half of 2008, and we incurred a $4.2 million bad debt charge in the fourth quarter of 2008 as a result of financial difficulties faced by our customers.  Although we believe that there will continue to be a need for bathroom fixtures, we cannot predict if, or when, the market downturn will reverse itself.

According to data on the website www.hardwaremarketplace.com, faucet production industry had a market size of over $15 billion in 2006 and the market had been growing at around 4% by volume.  Third world countries, especially India and China, had been emerging as major markets for bathroom hardware and fittings.  However, as a result of the worldwide economic downturn, this trend turned in the middle of 2008, and the market for real estate related products, including faucets, has declined.
 
Sales and Marketing
 
We are based in China, but we conduct business in the Middle East and Russia. Through distributors and wholesalers in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, our products are resold into different countries in Middle East, Europe and Africa.  In 2007 and 2006, we also sold products directly to distributors in Spain, Turkey, Israel and the China domestic market.

As of December 31, 2008, we had three sales offices outside of China, located in Dubai, Moscow and Nigeria.

Raw Materials and Suppliers
 
The faucet body is usually made of brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc.  The average proportion of copper and zinc is 70:30 and the specific proportions of each kind of product can be varied to create a range of brasses with varying properties.  Brass is the most widely used material for faucets due to its resistance to soft-water corrosion and hard-water calcification.

In 2008, our three largest suppliers of copper and zinc were Kunpeng, Shangrao JinBin Industrial Co., Ltd.(“JinBin”) and Yiyang Shunda Worn Metal Recycling Co., Ltd. (“Shunda”), which accounted for 49.2%, 26.2 and 9.3%, respectively.

In 2007, our largest two suppliers of copper and zinc were Kunpeng and Yiyang Tengfei Electric Ware Co., Ltd. (“Tengfei”), accounted for 70.5% and 26.9%, respectively.

In 2006, our largest two suppliers of copper and zinc were Kunpeng and Yiyang Tengfei Electric Ware Co., Ltd. (“Tengfei”), accounted for 56.4% and 38.5%, respectively.

No other supplier accounted for more than 5% of our purchases for each year.  Kunpeng was our largest supplier for 2008, 2007 and 2006.  We purchased raw materials from Kunpeng for $10,240,000 in 2008, $16,491,000 in 2007 and $6,586,000 in 2006.  Wu Yiting, our chief executive officer and chairman, owns 80% of the equity and is chairperson of Kunpeng.

We manufacture the main part of the faucet, such as faucet body, and utilize the services and products of other manufacturers for the fittings and/or components to the faucet.  These products are readily available to us from a number of suppliers.  The following table sets forth our main fittings suppliers.

Environmental Matters
 
Fuda Yiyang, which manufactures our products, is subject to Chinese and regional environmental laws and regulations.  Wastes generated from the metal plating operations generally include: spent solutions containing metals, rinse waters (wastewater) and sludges.  When present in sufficient concentration, nearly all of the wastes produced by metal-finishing operations are directly toxic to humans and when, if discharged or spilled, will have a negative impact on the environment.  Our plating facility and related water treatment system are built under rigorous government criteria.  Fuda Yiyang has passed environmental impact assessment by local environment authorities.  Our plating facility and related water treatment system are built under government criteria, and we received a manufacturing license from the government department of environmental protection.  We believe that we and Fuda Yiyang are in compliance in all material respects with all environmental protection laws and regulations.
 
ITEM 1A.  
RISK FACTORS.
 
Because our sales are related to the real estate market, our sales have declined because of the worldwide economic downturn which affected the real estate industry.
 
Our sales are made to distributors who sell in the real estate industry.  Although our sales increased 35.8% from 2007 to 2008, the effects of the economic downturn began to affect our business in the second half of 2008, where our export sales declined 12% to $16.2 million for the second half of 2008, compared to the first half of 2008.  At the same time, our bad debt expense increased significantly.  From August to December 2008, we incurred bad debt expense of approximate $4.2 million.  As a result, we generated a loss $440,000 on sales of $34.7 million, as compared with a net income of $3.5 million on sales of $25.6 million for 2007.  As the downturn continues, we anticipate that our sales will continue to decline and we will continue to operate at a loss.  We do not anticipate that our business trends will be reversed until there is a significant improvement in the international real estate market.  We cannot determine if or when the downturn will reverse.
 
Significant fluctuation of copper price will adversely affect our sales, gross margin or collection of receivables.
 
Our principal raw material is copper; its price is subject to significant fluctuations.  During 2007, the price had been subject to significant increases, however, commencing in August 2008, the price has been decreasing swiftly. Although we set up a long-term raw material supply relationship with a related-party, Kunpeng, the price of raw material purchased from Kunpeng is based on the local market price, which is not fixed.  As a result, any increase in our suppliers’ costs, including Kunpeng’s costs, would be passed on to us.  Neither we nor Kunpeng has any long term supply contracts with any source of copper.  As a result, the prices at which we purchase raw materials are based on the market price at the time.

The price of copper affects our gross margins, since it affects both the cost of our principal raw material and the price that customers are willing to pay for the finished product.  In times of increasing prices, we need to try to fix the price at which we purchase copper in order to avoid increases in costs which we cannot recoup through increases in sales prices. Similarly, in times of decreasing prices, we may have purchased copper at a price which is high in terms of the price at which we can sell our product.

Any increase in the prices of raw materials, including copper, will affect the price at which we can sell our product and may further affect sales volume.  In case of decrease in the prices of raw materials, since we grant our customers a three-month credit term, some customers may demand discount of receivables, which could generate a bad debt expense.
 
Our expansion into Russia and Africa markets may have an adverse affect on our profitability.
 
We are beginning to expand our operations into Russia and Africa, which we consider significant potential markets for our products.  Although we anticipate that these new markets will generate additional revenue and earnings in the long term, it is possible that our start up expenses, combined with the economic downturn which is affecting these markets as well as the rest of the world, may have an initial adverse impact until our operations are fully developed.  We cannot assure you that we will be successful in entering these new markets or that we will generate any profits from these markets.

We must effectively manage the growth of our operations, or our company will suffer.
 
We are expanding our business by establishing offices in Dubai, Russia and Africa, and we plan to increase the range of services that we offer our customers.  Further, we may expand our operations through acquisitions.  Our ability to successfully develop our business requires an effective planning and management process, especially in view of the international nature of our business.  The planned development of our business will place a significant strain on our management and our resources.  If we grow, we will need to improve our financial and managerial controls and reporting systems and procedures, and we will need to expand, train and manage our workforce.  Any failure to manage any of the foregoing areas efficiently and effectively would cause our business to suffer.
 
Failure to obtain short-term bank loans or extend such loans can hinder our business operations and profitability.
 
Our operations have been financed largely with short-term bank loans in the form of export invoice financing, which typically have a two or three-month term and have generally been rolled over at the end of the term.  The bank loans from one of those banks are secured by a mortgage on one of our parcels of land and ten workshop buildings.  At December 31, 2008, these bank loans totaled approximately $12.4 million, accounts payable due to material and service suppliers was $1.0 million.  Although in the past these notes have been rolled over at the then current interest rate, we cannot assure you that the banks will continue to lend us money.  The failure of the banks to continue to extend credit or to demand payment of a significant amount of our loans could impair our ability to operate profitably.
 
We may need to raise additional capital which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all
 
We will require additional capital to expand our marketing efforts, meet our growing working capital requirements and make acquisition to extend industrial chain.  Our net loss for 2008 combined with the downturn in the real estate market and the lack of credit availability generally will make it increasingly difficult for us to obtain any capital which we may require, and we cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.  The inability to obtain additional capital may reduce our ability to develop our business and may require us to scale down our operations and curtail or significantly reduce our expansion plans.  If we have to raise funds with high interest rates, our profitability would unavoidably decline.  Further, any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing stockholders.
 
If we raise additional capital, the value of your investment may decrease.
 
If we need to raise additional capital to implement or continue operations, we may issue additional equity or convertible debt securities.  If we issue equity or convertible debt securities, the net tangible book value per share may decrease, the percentage ownership of our current stockholders may be diluted and any equity securities that we issue may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stockholders and may provide advantages that our common stockholders do not have.
 
We do not carry sufficient property or casualty insurance and as a result any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.
 
The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development.  Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and do not, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance.  With the exception of a property insurance covering ten workshops, which are held as collateral for bank loans, we do not have any other business liability insurance coverage for our operations.  Any business property loss, natural disaster or litigation might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.
 
Failure to comply with PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may materially adversely affect us.
 
The PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, issued the Notice on Relevant Issues in the Foreign Exchange Control over Financing and Return Investment Through Special Purpose Companies by Residents inside China (Circular 75) in October 2005, and also promulgated its internal implementing guidelines (Notice 106) in June 2007.  These regulations require that a PRC resident shall apply for the registration of foreign exchange of investment offshore at the local or State Administration of Foreign Exchange before establishing or controlling an offshore special purpose company.  If a PRC resident transfers his properties or equities of a domestic enterprise to the offshore special purpose company, or seeks equity financing offshore after the transference of properties or equities to the offshore special purpose company, he shall file a modification registration.  There is uncertainty over how Circular 75 will be interpreted and implemented, and how or whether SAFE will apply it to us.  As a consequence, we cannot predict how it will affect our business operations or future strategies.
 
 
-10-



 
We believe we comply with the applicable regulations.  The owner of Fuda Yiyang, Wu Yiting, was not a stockholder of Moral Star BVI. Moral Star BVI’s sole stockholder, the Trustee is not a resident of the PRC.

However, to the best of our knowledge, based on the terms of the Trust and the irrevocable proxy which the Trust issued to her, Wu Yiting may be deemed to control Moral Star BVI, which is an offshore special purpose company, under these policies. Wu Yiting shall apply for a registration of foreign exchange at Jiangxi Branch of SAFE.  If Wu Yiting fails to fulfill the registration of foreign exchange, Fuda Yiyang cannot transfer its payment of profit, dividend, liquidation, equity transference and capital reduction to Moral Star BVI since any such payment would be considered as exchange evasion.  As a Sino-foreign equity joint venture, Moral Star China’ s registration of foreign exchange has been approved by relating authorities; but Moral Star BVI’s application for registration of foreign exchange is still in the process of approval.  There is no assurance that we will be granted for this registration.  If we need to enforce the agreements with Fuda Yiyang, we must seek to enforce them in China. We cannot assure you that we will be able to enforce any of them or remedies will be available outside of China.
 
We face intense competition, and many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we have.
 
We operate in a competitive environment that is characterized by price deflation and technological change.  We compete with major international and domestic companies.  Our competitors may have greater market recognition and substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution, purchasing, manufacturing, personnel and other resources than we do.  Furthermore, some of our competitors have manufacturing and sales forces that are geographically diversified, allowing them to reduce transportation expenses, tariff costs and currency fluctuations for certain customers in markets where their facilities are located.  Many competitors have production lines that allow them to produce more sophisticated and complex devices than we currently offer and to offer a broader range of display devices.  Other emerging companies or companies in related industries may also increase their participation in the display and display module markets, which would intensify competition in our markets. We might lose some of our current or future business to these competitors or be forced to reduce our margins to retain or acquire that business, which could decrease our revenues or slow our future revenue growth and lead to a decline in profitability.
 
Risks Related to Operating in China
 
Adverse changes in political and economic policies of the Chinese government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China, which could reduce the demand for our products and materially and adversely affect our business.
 
Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are subject to significant changes in economic, political and legal developments of China.  The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including:

·  
the amount of government involvement;
·  
the level of development;
·  
the growth rate;
·  
the control of foreign exchange; and
·  
the allocation of resources.
 
While the Chinese economy has grown significantly in the past 20 years, the growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the recent worldwide economic downturn has affected China as well as the rest of the world.  The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may also have a negative effect on us.  For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us and the extent that any stimulus program implemented by the Chinese government affects the real estate industry or companies that manufacture products such as ours.
 
-11-



 
The Chinese economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy.  Although in recent years the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of sound corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of the productive assets in China is still owned by the Chinese government.  The continued control of these assets and other aspects of the national economy by the Chinese government could materially and adversely affect our business.  The Chinese government also exercises significant control over Chinese economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies including the allocation of resources under any stimulus package which may be adopted.

Any adverse change in the economic conditions or government policies, policy interpretations, imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports and sources of supply, devaluations of currency, the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises in China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth and the level of investments and expenditures in China, which in turn could lead to a reduction in demand for our products and consequently have a material adverse effect on our businesses and our operations and assets in China.
 
Fluctuation in currency exchange rate may have a material adverse effect on your investment.
 
The change in value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions.  Since 2005, the Renminbi is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies.  Under this new policy, the exchange rate of Renminbi against U.S. dollar has fallen down about 12% to 6.8346 as of December 31, 2008, as compared to that at the beginning of 2007.  While the international reaction to the Renminbi revaluation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the Chinese government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar.  As a portion of our costs and expenses is denominated in Renminbi, the revaluation in July 2005 and potential future revaluation has and could further increase our costs.  In addition, as we rely entirely on dividends paid to us by our operating subsidiaries, any significant revaluation of the Renminbi may have a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial condition, and the value of, and any of our dividends payable on our ordinary shares in foreign currency terms. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars we receive from this offering into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the Renminbi amount we receive from the conversion.  Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.

Because most of our sales are in the international market and payment is made in currency other than Renminbi, any change in the conversion rate between the time we issue an invoice for goods and services and the time we receive payment could result in a currency loss if the amount we receive in Renminbi is less than the amount we reflect as a receivable.
 
Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenues effectively.
 
All of our revenues and most of our expenses are denominated in Renminbi.  If our revenues denominated in Renminbi increase or expenses denominated in Renminbi decrease in the future, we may need to convert a portion of our revenues into other currencies to meet our foreign currency obligations, including, among others, payment of dividends declared, if any, in respect of our ordinary shares.  Under China’s existing foreign exchange regulations, our Chinese subsidiary, Moral Star China, is able to pay dividends in foreign currencies, without prior approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements.  However, we cannot assure you that that the Chinese government will not take further measures in the future to restrict access to foreign currencies for current account transactions.

Foreign exchange transactions by Moral Star China under the capital account continue to be subject to significant foreign exchange controls and require the approval of China’s governmental authorities, including the SAFE.  In particular, if Moral Star China borrows foreign currency loans from us or other foreign lenders, these loans must be registered with the SAFE, and if we finance Moral Star China by means of additional capital contributions, these capital contributions must be approved by certain government authorities including the Ministry of Commerce or its local counterparts.  These limitations could affect the ability of Moral Star China to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing.
 
-12-

 

 
Capital outflow policies in the PRC may hamper our ability to remit income to the United States.
 
The PRC has adopted currency and capital transfer regulations.  These regulations may require that we comply with complex regulations for the movement of capital and as a result we may not be able to remit all income earned and proceeds received in connection with our operations or from the sale of our operating subsidiary to the U.S. or to our stockholders.
 
Our operations and assets in the China are subject to significant political and economic uncertainties.
 
Government policies are subject to rapid change and the government of the China may adopt policies which have the effect of hindering private economic activity and greater economic decentralization.  There is no assurance that the government of the China will not significantly alter its policies from time to time without notice in a manner with reduces or eliminates any benefits from its present policies of economic reform.  In addition, a substantial portion of productive assets in China remains government-owned.  For instance, all lands are state owned and business entities or individuals are granted by government state-owned land use rights.  The granting process is typically based on government policies at the time of granting, which could be lengthy and complex. This process may adversely affect our business.  The government of China also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.  Uncertainties may arise with changing of governmental policies and measures.  In addition, changes in laws and regulations, or their interpretation, or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports and sources of supply, devaluations of currency, the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises, as well as adverse changes in the political, economic or social conditions in China, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Because Chinese law governs almost all of our material agreements, we may not be able to enforce our legal rights within China or elsewhere, which could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities, or capital.
 
Chinese law governs almost all of our material agreements relating to the purchase of raw materials, the manufacture of our products and the distribution of our products within China, as well as our agreements with Fuda Yiyang.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to enforce any of our material agreements or that remedies will be available outside of China.  The system of laws and the enforcement of existing laws in China may not be as certain in implementation and interpretation as in the United States.  The Chinese judiciary is relatively inexperienced in enforcing corporate and commercial law, leading to a higher than usual degree of uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation.  The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our agreements could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital.
 
It will be extremely difficult to acquire jurisdiction and enforce liabilities against our officers, directors and assets based in China.
 
Substantially all of our assets will be located outside of the United States and our officers and directors will reside outside of the United States.  As a result, it may not be possible for United States investors to enforce their legal rights, to effect service of process upon our directors or officers or to enforce judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties of our directors and officers under Federal securities laws.  Moreover, we have been advised that China does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts with the United States.  Further, it is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the United States and China would permit effective enforcement of criminal penalties of the Federal securities laws.
 
We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in China, which could impair our planning processes and make it difficult to provide accurate reports of our operating results.
 
China historically has not followed Western style management and financial reporting concepts and practices, and its access to modern banking, computer and other control systems has been limited.  Although we will be required to implement internal controls, we may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in China in these areas.  As a result of these factors, we may experience difficulty in establishing the required controls and instituting business practices that meet Western standards, making it difficult for management to forecast its needs and to present the results of our operations accurately at all times.
 
-13-

 

 
Because our funds are held in banks which do not provide insurance, the failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could affect our ability to continue in business.
 
Banks and other financial institutions in the PRC do not provide insurance for funds held on deposit.  As a result, in the event of a bank failure, we may not have access to funds on deposit.  Depending upon the amount of money we maintain in a bank that fails, our inability to have access to our cash could impair our operations, and, if we are not able to access funds to pay our suppliers, employees and other creditors, we may be unable to continue in business.
 
Failure to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.
 
We are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, are not subject to these prohibitions.  Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in the PRC, Russia and the United Arab Emirates.  We can make no assurance, however, that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Imposition of trade barriers and taxes may reduce our ability to do business internationally, and the resulting loss of revenue could harm our profitability.
 
We may experience barriers to conducting business and trade in our targeted emerging markets in the form of delayed customs clearances, customs duties and tariffs.  In addition, we may be subject to repatriation taxes levied upon the exchange of income from local currency into foreign currency, substantial taxes of profits, revenues, assets and payroll, as well as value-added tax.  The markets in which we plan to operate may impose onerous and unpredictable duties, tariffs and taxes on our business and products, and there can be no assurance that this will not reduce the level of sales that we achieve in such markets, which would reduce our revenues and profits.
 
Risks Related to Our Securities
 
There is a limited market for our common stock which may make it more difficult to dispose of your stock.
 
Our common stock is currently quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “FUFW.”  There is a limited trading market for our common stock, and on many days there is no activity in our common stock.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any markets that may develop for our common stock, the ability of holders of our common stock to sell our common stock, or the prices at which holders may be able to sell our common stock.
 
ITEM 2.  
PROPERTY.
 
In China, there is no private ownership of land.  The government issues a certificate of land use right, which is transferable and permits the holder to use the land.  We hold four certificates of property rights which cover three blocks of industrial-use land in Jiangxi province in China, covering 491,374 square feet, for the term of 50 years, beginning from issuance date of the certificates, respectively.  Among these three blocks of land, one block of 51,235 square feet has left unused since December 2004.

With the completion of a new factory in April 2008 and improvement of our original facilities in September 2008, our production capacity increased to 3.5 million sets, as compared to 1.2 million sets at the end of 2007.  We believe our real property is adequate to meet our needs at present and in two or three years in the future.

One block of land with the acreage of 210,435square feet and ten workshop buildings are held as collateral pursuant to a maximum amount mortgage contract with a commercial bank which we entered into on September 6, 2007.

We lease office space in Dubai at an annual rental of $18,000 pursuant to a lease which expires on March 4, 2010.

ITEM 7.  
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
 
Overview
 
Prior to December 3, 2007, we were a public reporting blind pool company with no assets.  On December 3, 2007, we consummated a share exchange agreement with Jibrin Issa Jibrin Al Jibrin, trustee of the Wu Yitang Trust, which was the sole stockholder of Moral Star BVI.  Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, the Trustee transferred to us all of the capital stock of Moral Star BVI in exchange for 10,564,647 shares of our common stock, which were issued to the Trust and the designees of the Trust, some of whom acquired their shares as nominees of Ms. Wu Yiting, our chief executive officer.  As a result, Moral Star BVI became our wholly-owned subsidiary and our sole business became the business of Moral Star BVI and its affiliated companies.  The transaction is treated as a reverse acquisition.  As a result, for accounting purposes, Moral Star BVI is treated as the acquiring company for accounting purposes and our financial statements for period prior to December 3, 2007 reflect the historical operations of Fuda Yiyang.

We have a series of contractual arrangements with Fuda Yiyang, which provide us with both control over the operations of Fuda Yiyang and the net income from Fuda Yiyang’s operations.  Thus this discussion relates to the business, financial condition and results of operations of Fuda Yiyang, which is treated as a variable interest entity.

We develop, manufacture, distribute and market high-quality brass faucets and related spouts and fittings. In 2007, we achieved net income of $3.46 million.  However, we incurred net loss of $440,000 during 2008, which mainly resulted from substantial bad debt losses of receivables on the background of global economic crisis in the second half of 2008, of $4.20 million, which represented 58.3% of our gross profit for the whole year.

Our principal raw material is copper, a significant portion of which we purchase from Kunpeng, a related party.  The price of copper is subject to significant fluctuations.  In 2007 the price had been subject to significant increases, however, commencing in August 2008, the price has decreased swiftly.  The price of copper affects our gross margins, since it affects both the cost of our principal raw material and the price that customers are willing to pay for the finished product.  In times of increasing prices, we need to try to fix the price at which we purchase copper in order to avoid increases in costs which we cannot recoup through increases in sales prices.  Similarly, in times of decreasing prices, we may have purchased copper at a price which is high in terms of the price at which we can sell our product which would result in a decline in our gross margin.

We produce all our products in China and export most of them to international markets, including Middle East, primarily United Arab Emirates, and Russia.  In 2008, we had no sales in China, and 91.8% of our sales were made to distributors in the United Arab Emirates and 8.2% of sales to distributors in Russia.  We do not have long-term contracts with any of our customers.

We sell our products to a small number of customers, each of which is a distributor of our products. Different customers may account for significant revenue in each period.  As a result, the loss of any customer could have a material adverse effect upon our business if we are not able to replace that customer.  The following table sets forth information as to each customer that accounted for 5% or more of our revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 (dollars in thousands).

At December 31, 2008, we had accounts receivable of $4.91 million, net of allowance of doubtful accounts of $2.04 million, representing accounts receivables from five customers, all of which were less than 90 days old.  The largest three customers for the fiscal year of 2008 listed in the above table accounted for 80.7%, 14.8% and 2.4% of our accounts receivable, respectively.

Our growth is dependent on expanding the production capacity, upgrading the products, improving quality and expanding our marketing effort to develop a larger customer base.  In the second quarter 2008, we completed the construction of a new factory, which was put into operation in April 2008.  In addition, the upgrade and improvement of our original facilities has also finished in the third quarter of 2008.  As a result of this expansion, our production capacity increased to 3.5 million sets, as compared to 1.2 million sets at the end of 2007.  During 2008, we produced 1.3 million sets.

Since our products are generally sold to companies in the construction and home improvement segments, any downturn in the housing and renovation market in those areas where we sell our products could have a material adverse effect upon our business.  In 2008, our sales were made primarily to distributors in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and, to a lesser extent, in Russia.  The worldwide economic downturn has affected these markets as well, commencing in the second half of 2008.  As a result, our sales went down $2.3 million, or 12%, to $16.2 million for the second half of 2008, compared to the first half of 2008.

Our operations have been financed largely with short-term bank loans in the form of export invoice financings, which typically have a two or three-month term and have generally been rolled over at the end of the term.  Although in the past these notes have been rolled over at the then current interest rate, we cannot assure you that the banks will continue to lend us money.

Net Sales
 
Net sales were $34,739,033 and $25,587,594 for 2008 and 2007, respectively, representing an increase $9,151,439, or 35.8%.  The significant increase is mainly due to our expanded marketing efforts in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, which is a retail and wholesale center of bathroom supply distributors in the Middle East, and Russia.  During 2008, our net sales in Dubai increased $9.36 million, or 41.6%, to $31.88 million as compared to $22.52 million in 2007.  In addition, we generated revenue of $2.86 million in Russia during 2008, an annual increase rate of 77.5% from 2007.  Our sales were affected by the worldwide economic downturn commencing in the second half of 2008.  As a result, our sales declined 12% to $16.2 million for the second half of 2008, compared to $18.5 million in the first half of 2008.
 
Cost of Sales; Gross Profit
 
Cost of sales was $27,535,796 (of which $11,475,236 represented the raw materials purchased from Kunpeng, a related party) for 2008 and $20,409,749 (of which $15,200,461 represented purchases from Kunpeng) for 2007.  The increase of $7,126,047 or 34.9% in cost of sales was primarily due to the rapid increase of sales.  Cost of sales is the costs of finished goods sold, including raw materials, labor costs and manufacturing overhead.  Manufacturing overhead covers the depreciation of production facilities.  Our gross margins are not comparable to those of other entities, which record delivery expenses into cost of sales, since we include delivery expenses in selling expenses.

Gross profit was $7,203,237 for 2008, representing a gross margin of 20.7%, and $5,177,845 for 2007, representing a gross margin of 20.2%.  Although we were able to significantly increase our sales in years 2008 from 2007, the gross margin increased very little, which was mainly attributed to our production cost structure.  Most of our production cost is variable cost and just a small part is fixed cost, which has the effect of increasing gross margin with the increase of production volume.
 
Selling Expenses
 
During 2008, selling expenses were $510,448, an increase of $115,395, or 29.2%, as compared to $395,053 for 2007.  Selling expenses include delivery expense, salaries of sales staff, expenses of sales offices and advertising.  This increase is mainly attributable to significant increases in delivery expenses resulting from the growth of sales volume. During 2008, delivery expenses increased by $169,025, or 85.3%, to $367,101 from $198,076 in 2007.
 
General and Administrative
 
General and administrative expenses were $900,328 and $313,008 for 2008 and 2007, respectively, reflecting an increase of $587,320, or 187.6%.  General and administrative expenses include salaries, business entertainment, travel and entertainment, rent, office expense, car expenses and insurance costs.  The increase is mainly resulted from operation as a public company since December 2007 and the expansion of our operating activities in Fuda Yiyang, which led to the increased amount of salaries, business entertainment, car expenses, travel, office and related expenses.
 
Provision for Doubtful Accounts
 
During twelve months ended December 31, 2008, our provision for doubtful accounts was $4,197,771.  The entire provision for doubtful accounts was accrued in the fourth quarter of 2008, and resulted from the effects of the worldwide economic downturn, particularly in the real estate industry, and the resulting inability of major customers to make payments as scheduled.  The charge for doubtful accounts represents two components -- $2,159,012 was written off in 2008 for receivables which had been scheduled for payment in the fourth quarter of 2008, and $2,038,759 was reserved against the remaining outstanding receivables as of December 31, 2008.  We had no comparable expense in 2007. 
 
Officers’ Compensation
 
Officers’ compensation was $161,133 and $24,353 for 2008 and 2007, respectively, representing an increase of $136,780, or 561.7%.  The increase reflects compensation to our independent directors, who were elected in April 2008 and did not receive any compensation in 2007.

Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization, excluding depreciation included in cost of production, increased $181,529, or 460.4%, from $ 39,426 in 2007 to $220,955 in 2008.  The increase in depreciation and amortization is mainly due to completion of the new factory and acquisition of the relating land use right, as well as the improvements in our original facilities in 2008.
 
Consulting and Professional Fees
 
Consulting and professional fees increased $346,262, or 471.5%, from $73,433 in 2007 to $419,695 in 2008.  This increase was mainly attributable to increased fees for legal, accounting and accounting consulting, investor relations and other services required by us as a public company which we did not incur in 2007.
 
Income from Transfer of Patents
 
During 2007, we transferred two patents to a non-affiliated company for $621,451.  The costs relating to the development of these patents had been expensed as incurred and not capitalized.  As a result, the basis of these patents was zero.  We recognized income of $576,493, representing the purchase price less related taxes and expenses.  There was no similar transaction in twelve months ended December 31, 2008.
 
Reverse Acquisition Costs
 
We incurred costs $916,908 in relation to the reverse acquisition completed in December 2007.  This amount includes the payment of $625,000 to the former principal stockholders to purchase their shares, and professional fees of $291,908, including a non-cash charge of $33,852, representing the fair value of 33,517 shares of common stock issued to a reverse acquisition consultant.  These reverse acquisition costs in 2007 are non-recurring.
 
Net Interest Expense
 
Net interest expense, offsetting minor interest income, was $843,885 and $371,334 for 2008 and 2007, respectively, representing a $472,551, or 127.3%, increase as a result of the increase of short-term bank loans.  During 2008, we had an average of $10,430,200 of short term bank loans outstanding, at a weighted average interest rate of 7.40%, as compared with average loan balance of $4,414,100 at a weighted average interest rate of 7.19% in 2007.
 
Foreign Currency Transaction Loss
 
Net foreign currency transaction loss was $402,966 for 2008 and $198,373 for 2007, which reflected a foreign exchange loss on accounts receivable from the customers out of China, offsetting minor foreign exchange gain, which was generated from loans denominated in United States dollars.
 
Net Income (Loss)
 
As a result of the factors described above, our net loss for 2008 was $439,525, or $0.04 per share (basic and diluted), compared to net income of $3,460,510, or $0.32 per share (basic) and $0.21 per share (diluted) for 2007.

With the approval of the County Government of Yiyang, Fuda Yiyang was exempt from corporate income taxes for 2008 and 2007.  As a result, we did not pay any income tax in either 2008 or 2007.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At December 31, 2008, we had working capital deficiency of $1,050,098, compared to working capital of $7,988,451 for 2007.  Our current ratio was 0.9:1 at December 31, 2008, as compared with 2.0:1 at December 31, 2007.  The following table sets forth information as to the principal changes in the components of our working capital from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008 (dollars in thousands):

During 2008, our operations generated net cash inflow of $4,065,808, as compared with net cash used by our operating activities of $4,011,085 for 2007.  The improvement primarily resulted from the increase of sales with regular collection of receivables from January to October 2008, and the reduction of inventory in the second half of 2008, which was offset by the provision for doubtful accounts of $4,197,771 during the fourth quarter of 2008.

During 2008, we used $9,872,620 to purchase property, plant and equipment, including the acquisition of land use right, the construction of a new factory and the improvement of our original facilities.  As a result of the completion of the new factory, the $1,867,513 reflected at December 31, 2007 as construction in progress was classified at buildings at December 31, 2008.  During 2007, we utilized $2,354,500 to purchase fixed assets, including progress payments for construction of new facilities, which are reflected on the balance sheet as construction in progress, and we received $612,451 from the sale of two patents.

During 2008, we generated $6,380,251 from financing activities, consisting of (1) proceeds of $54,000 from exercise of warrants; (2) proceeds of $36,773,310 from short-term bank loans, which was partially offset by repayments of $30,082,076; (3) loans from Ms. Wu Yiting, a related party, of $3,114,675, which were more than offset by repayments to Ms. Wu of $3,479,658 in respect of loans made by Ms. Wu.  During 2007, we generated $4,330,422 from financing activities, consisting of (1) proceeds of $3,043,000 from issuance of convertible preferred stock and warrants, net of issuance costs; (2) proceeds of $13,576,349 from short-term bank loans, which was partially offset by repayments of $12,363,917; (3) loans from Ms. Wu of $4,596,921, which were substantially offset by repayment of loans of $4,521,931; and (4) proceeds of $932,657 from advances from employees, which have been fully repaid.

Except for the December 2007 private placement, we have financed our operations principally through rolling short-term bank loans and, to a lesser extent, through loans from related parties.  The bank loans, which are granted against delivery documents and are partially secured by a mortgage on one of our parcels of land and ten workshop buildings, typically have terms of two or three months and are used to fund export sales.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain necessary working capital from banks as we may require bank loans in the future.

During 2008, our average monthly fixed expenses were approximately $240,000.  We believe that our normal operation can meet this cash requirement for the next 12 months.  However, we believe that we require equity or debt financing with longer maturity to improve our short-term liquidity, develop new markets and make acquisitions to expand our product mix.  We will need to seek additional sources of funding to achieve these objectives.  However, because of our net losses, combined with the economic problems facing our customer base and our net loss for 2008, it will be very difficult to obtain long-term financing, and we cannot assure you that any necessary financing will be available on reasonable terms, if at all.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this annual report, management performed, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the report we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on the evaluation and the identification of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2008 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
Management’s Report of Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projection of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Management has conducted, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, an assessment, including testing of the effectiveness, of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.  Management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting was conducted using the criteria in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
 
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  In connection with management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we concluded there were no material deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting, and, accordingly, our controls are effective.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We have not adopted pre-approval policies and procedures with respect to our accountants in 2007. All of the services provided and fees charged by our independent registered accounting firms in 2007were approved by the board of directors.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Fuda Faucet Works, Inc

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fuda Faucet Works, Inc (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 
1.  
Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
(1) Organization
 
Fuda Faucet Works, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”) was incorporated in Delaware on June 10, 1969 under the name Magnum Communications Corp.  The Company subsequently changed its name to Vacation Ownership Marketing, Inc.  As of May 10, 2004, the Company changed its corporate name to Capital Solutions I, Inc.  Prior to December 3, 2007, the Company was not engaged in any business.  On January 3, 2008, the Company changed its name to Fuda Faucet Works, Inc.

On December 3, 2007, the Company entered into a buy-back agreement with Richard Astrom and Christopher Astrom, who were the Company’s principal stockholders and sole directors and Christopher Astrom was the Company’s president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer, pursuant to which they sold to the Company all of the shares of common stock owned by them, which constituted 75% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, for a purchase price of $625,000. Richard and Christopher Astrom resigned from all positions as officers and directors simultaneously.

Contemporaneously with the purchase of stock from the former principal stockholders, the Company executed a share exchange agreement with Jibrin Issa Jibrin Al Jibrin, trustee of the Wu Yiting Stock Trust, the sole stockholder of Moral Star Development Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Moral Star BVI”), pursuant to which the trustee transferred to the Company all of the capital stock of Moral Star BVI in exchange for 10,564,647 shares of the Company’s common stock, approximately 98.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which were issued to the Trust and the designees of the Trust. As a result, Moral Star BVI became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary and the business of Moral Star BVI and its affiliated companies became our business.  The sole beneficiary of the trust is Ms. Wu Yiting, who, as a result of the exchange, became the chief executive officer, president and a director of the Company.

Moral Star BVI owns 100% of the stock of Jiangxi Moral Star Copper Technology Co., Ltd. (“Moral Star China”), which is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise organized under the laws of the Peoples’ Republic of China (“PRC”).  Moral Star China is a party to a series of contractual arrangements with Jiangxi Yiyang Fuda Copper Co. Ltd. (“Fuda Yiyang”), a limited liability company headquartered in, and organized under the laws of, the PRC. The relationship among the above companies as follows:
Under generally accepted accounting principles, the acquisition by the Company of Moral Star BVI is considered to be capital transactions in substance, rather than a business combination.  That is, the acquisition is equivalent, in the acquisition by Moral Star BVI of the Company, then known as Capital Solutions I, Inc., with the issuance of stock by Moral Star BVI for the net monetary assets of the Company.  This transaction is accompanied by a recapitalization, and is accounted for as a change in capital structure.  Accordingly, the accounting for the acquisition is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill is recorded.  Under reverse takeover accounting, the comparative historical financial statements of the Company, as the legal acquirer, are those of the accounting acquirer, Moral Star BVI. Since Moral Star BVI and Moral Star China did not have any business activities, the Company’s financial statements prior to the closing on the reverse acquisition, reflect only business of Fuda Yiyang.  The accompanying financial statements reflect the recapitalization of the stockholders’ equity as if the transactions occurred as of the beginning of the first period presented.  Thus, the 10,564,647 shares of common stock issued to the trust and its designees are deemed to be outstanding from December 31, 2006.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 
The contractual arrangements among Moral Star China, Fuda Yiyang, its sole owner, Wu Yiting, and related parties are represented by a series of agreements, including management agreement, related transactions agreement, purchase agreement, stockholders’ voting proxy agreement, shares pledge agreement, exclusive option agreement, patent transfer agreement, and trademark transfer agreement, pursuant to which the Company obtained control over the business and operations of Fuda Yiyang, and became the primary beneficiary of Fuda Yiyang operations.
 
(2) Stock Distribution, Change in Par Value
 
On January 3, 2008, the Company effected a 3.2-for-one stock distribution pursuant to which each share of common stock was converted into 3.2 shares of common stock.  On July 31, 2008, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation which changed the par value of the preferred stock and common stock from $0.0000001 per share to $0.001 per share, and decreased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 900,000,000 to 110,000,000 shares.   All references in these financial statements to shares and per share information give effect to the stock distribution and to the change in the par value of the preferred stock and common stock.
 
(3) Business
 
The Company’s business is the development, manufacture and distribution of a wide range of brass faucets and related spouts and fittings, which is the business conducted by Fuda Yiyang prior to the share exchange.  The Company’s products include kitchen and bar faucets, bathroom faucets and bathroom accessories.  The Company produces all of its products in China and exports most of them into the international marketplace.  The Company started doing business by focusing on copper re-processing when Fuda Yiyang was formed in 1995.  In 2002, the Company began to produce and sell the European style brass faucets, spouts and fittings to the Chinese local market, and in 2004, it began to sell our products internationally.  The Company did not make any sales in the Chinese market in 2008.  The Company sells its products to bathroom supplies distributors
 
(4) Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).  The Company’s functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi; however the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in United States dollars.

Principles of consolidation – The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Moral Star BVI and Moral Star China, as well as Fuda Yiyang, which is a variable interest entity whose financial statements are consolidated with those of the Company pursuant to FASB Interpretation No. 46R “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”), an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the combination.

FIN 46R requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the variable interest entity or is entitled to receive a majority of the variable interest entity’s residual returns.  Variable interest entities are those entities in which the Company, through contractual arrangements, bears the risks of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entities, and therefore the Company is the primary beneficiary of these entities.

Moral Star China is a party to a series of contractual arrangements with Fuda Yiyang.  These agreements include a management agreement pursuant to which all net income after deduction of necessary expenses, if any, generated by Fuda Yiyang is paid to Moral Star China and Moral Star China is responsible for paying Fuda Yiyang’s obligations incurred in connection with its business. In addition, Moral Star China manages and controls all of the funds of Fuda Yiyang.  Moral Star China also has the right to purchase Fuda Yiyang’s equipment and patents and lease its manufacturing plants, land and remaining equipment.  This agreement is designed so that Moral Star China can conduct its business in China.  Pursuant to two other agreements, the sole stockholder of Fuda Yiyang, who is also the Company’s chief executive officer, has pledged all of her equity in Fuda Yiyang as security for performance of Fuda Yiyang’s obligations to Moral Star China, and she granted Moral Star China an irrevocable grant of a proxy over her stock in Fuda Yiyang. As a result, Fuda Yiyang is considered a variable interest entity.

Fuda Faucet Works, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant accounting estimates include bad debt provision, impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization, etc.

Country Risk – As the Company’s manufacturing base is located in China and its market is mainly located in Middle East, Russia and Africa, the Company is subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and/or Western Europe.  These risks include, among others, risks associated with the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange limitations encountered in these areas.  The Company’s results of operations may be adversely affected by changes in the economic, political and social conditions in these areas, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, among other things.

In accordance with the relevant Chinese rules and regulations on management of foreign exchanges, the foreign exchanges generated by Fuda Yiyang and Moral Star China from sales of our products out of China shall be brought back into China and exchanged to RMB in designated banks instead of being deposited out of China without authorization.  The Company also has to buy foreign exchanges from designated banks when paying current expenditures with foreign exchanges.  Both the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of foreign currencies abroad require the approval of the Chinese government.  In recent years, the Chinese government has gradually relaxed its control over foreign exchange, especially on current foreign exchange accounts, for instance, canceling of advance examination and approval for the opening of current foreign exchange accounts and enhancing of quota of current foreign exchange accounts.

Credit Risk – The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and intends to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts when outstanding balances are not considered fully collectable.  The Company maintains a policy that all sales are final and does not allow returns.  The Company generally requires payment within three months.  According to the Company’s credit policy, the Company generally provides 100% bad debt provision for the amounts outstanding over 180 days after the deduction of the amount subsequently settled after the balance sheet date, which management believes is consistent with industry practice.  However, if there are abundant facts or proofs, which indicate part or whole of specific receivables may not collectible, to the reasonable extent; we will establish corresponding allowance for doubtful part with reference to historical facts or proofs, even though the age of these receivables has not reached 180 days yet.

Due to global economic crisis and sharp decline in copper prices in the second half of 2008 and corresponding adverse effects to our customers’ liquidity, we made special payment arrangements with our customers in order to insure timely collection of most of these receivables without delay, pursuant to which we gave some discounts of specific percentage to our customers.  We recognized this discount as a bad debt expense in the fourth quarter of 2008.

The Company’s expense for bad debts for 2008 was $4,197,771, all of which was incurred in the fourth quarter of 2008.  This amount reflects two components --  $2,159,012 was written off in 2008 in respect of accounts receivables which had been scheduled for payment the fourth quarter of 2008, and an additional $2,038,759 reserved against the remaining outstanding amounts of receivables as of December 31, 2008.

Foreign Currency Translation – The functional currency of the Company is China RMB, which is the primary medium of exchange where the Company operates. The Company reports its financial results in United States dollars.

The Company translates its assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars using the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date, and the statement of operations is translated at the average rates over each month during the reporting period.  Equity items are translated at historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation from RMB into U.S. dollars are recorded in stockholders’ equity as part of accumulated comprehensive income (loss).  Gains or losses resulting from transactions in currencies other than RMB are reflected in the statement of operations and comprehensive income.  The translation rates from RMB to US dollars for the fiscal years of 2008 and 2007 are as follows

Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes sales of its products in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “ Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” as amended by SAB No. 104, “Revenue Recognition.”  Revenues represent the invoiced value of goods, net of value added tax (“VAT”), if any, and are recognized upon delivery of goods and passage of title.

Pursuant to China’s VAT rules and regulations, Fuda Yiyang’s sales in China mainland are subject to a tax rate of 17% (“output VAT”) as an ordinary VAT taxpayer, and the relating revenues were recognized by the invoiced value offsetting 17% output VAT.  However, its sales outside of China mainland are applicable for VAT exemption, credit and refund policy, and the relating revenues were equal to the invoiced value.  The applicable refund rate from January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007 was 13% and it has been adjusted down to 9% since July 1, 2007. However the refund rate for valves, one of our product catagories, has resumed at 13% since July 1, 2008.  The actual VAT payable is the balance after offsetting both VAT paid on purchases (“input VAT”) and the amount exempted or credited.  The actual VAT refund is recognized as other income.

Shipping and handling cost – We bear shipping and handling costs from our factory to our customers’ designated location, and not billed them to our customers.  From accounting perspective, we record such costs as delivery expenses, which are accounted for as part of selling expenses.  Delivery expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $367,101 and $198,072, respectively.

Advertising - The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. The advertising cost for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $14,732 and $48,343, respectively.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) – The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” which establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.  The Company has chosen to report comprehensive income (loss) in the statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “ Accounting for Income Taxes” which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence attributable to the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  The Company establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that the assets will not be recovered.

On March 16, 2007, China’s parliament, the National People’s Congress, adopted the Enterprise Income Tax Law, which took effect on January 1, 2008.  The new income tax law sets unified income tax rate for domestic and foreign companies at 25% except a 15% corporate income tax rate for qualified high and new technology enterprises. In accordance with this new income tax law, low preferential tax rate in accordance with both the tax laws and administrative regulations prior to the promulgation of this law shall adopt the new tax rate within five years after the implementation of this law.

With the approvals of the county government of Yiyang on July 17, 2007, Fuda Yiyang was exempt from corporate income taxes for 2008 and 2007.  The local tax bureau of Yiyang County (“Yiyang Tax Authority”) also retroactively confirmed the above-said preferential tax treatment on September 30, 2007.

Fuda Yiyang has filed its income tax returns for 2008 with Yiyang Tax Authortiy. These returns showed no tax due as a result of the exemption policy.  Management believes Fuda Yiyang can continue to benefit from the income tax exemption policy in 2008.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition are considered to be cash equivalents.

Inventories – Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, and net realizable value.  Work in progress and finished goods are composed of direct material, direct labor and a portion of manufacturing overhead.  Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose.  Management believes that inventory as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 is reflected at net realizable value.

Property, Plant and Equipment – Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.  Major expenditures for betterments and renewals are capitalized while ordinary repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.  Depreciation and amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets after taking into account the estimated residual value.  The estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Land use rights
50 years
Buildings
30 years
Machinery and equipment
10 years
Automobiles
5 years
Office equipment
5 years

There is no private ownership of land in the PRC.  All land is owned by the government which grants a transferable land use right pursuant to which the holder of the land use right has the right to use the land for the term of the land use rights.  The estimated useful life of the land use rights is based on the term of the land use rights, which is 50 years.

The Company periodically evaluates its investment in long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the net carrying amount may not be recoverable.  The Company’s judgments regarding potential impairment are based on legal factors, market conditions and operational performance indicators, among others.  In assessing the impairment of property and equipment, the Company makes assumptions regarding the estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets.  If these estimates or the related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges for these assets. From December 2004 to present, fixed assets carried at $373,932 were left unused, including land, workshop building and equipment.  Since value of land in similar sections of the city was increasing, no impairment on land use right has been charged.  The workshop buildings were maintained in good condition, and most of the equipment would be transported and reinstalled into the Company’s new workshop building. Therefore a provision for impairment of certain idle assets in the amount of $177,478 was made previously when they were turned into idle status.  As of December 31, 2008, although such equipment had been transported and reinstalled in the new workshop building, which was completed in the second quarter of 2008, the relevant production line has not been in operation; therefore such equipment was still regarded as idle assets.

Derivative Instruments - The Company accounts for financial instruments under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock,” which requires that all derivative financial instruments be recognized in the consolidated financial statements and maintained at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding them.

The Company accounted for its series A convertible preferred stock and the related freestanding warrants (See Note 13) as equity.  At the same time, the Company determined the fair value of such preferred stock, warrants and embedded conversion feature and made the allocation of proceeds between the warrants and the series A preferred stock based on their relative fair values.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value - SFAS No. 107 “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments.

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepayments, short-term loans, accounts payable, advances, accruals and other payables approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of those instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.”  SFAS No. 161 gives financial statement users better information about the reporting entity’s hedges by providing for qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of credit-risk-related contingent features in their hedged positions. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those years.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”  SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP.  SFAS No. 162 directs the GAAP hierarchy to the entity, not the independent auditors, as the entity is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP.  SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to remove the GAAP hierarchy from the auditing standards.  SFAS No. 162 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.”  SFAS No. 163 is primarily geared towards financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises and it not expected to have any material effect on the reporting of the Company’s results of operations.

In June 2008, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-5”). EITF 07-5 mandates a two-step process for evaluating whether an equity-linked financial instrument or embedded feature is indexed to the entity’s own stock.  Warrants that a company issues that contain a strike price adjustment feature, upon the adoption of EITF 07-5, are no longer being considered indexed to the company’s own stock. Accordingly, adoption of EITF 07-5 will change the current classification (from equity to liability) and the related accounting for such warrants outstanding at that date. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of EITF 07-5 will have on its financial statement presentation and disclosures.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

Accounts Receivable
 
As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the balance of accounts receivable, excluding receivables from related parties, was $4,912,266 and $487,471, respectively.  All the outstanding accounts receivable at December 31, 2008 were outstanding for less than 180 days.

Due to global economic crisis and sharp decline in copper prices in the second half of 2008 and corresponding adverse effects to our customers’ liquidity, the Company agreed, in the fourth quarter of 2008, to accept a reduced payment from customers.

As a result, the Company incurred bad debt expense of $4,197,771, which reflects (i) a $2,159,012 write off in connection with receivables that had been scheduled for payment by the end of December 31, 2008 and (ii) an additional $2,038,759 reserve against the remaining outstanding accounts receivable as of December 31, 2008.

During the last few months of 2007, we exported $7.02 million through Jibrin Company, a related party, of which $7 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2007. This receivable is reflected as “due from related parties - trade.”  This amount was fully collected in 2008.

Property, Plant and Equipment
 
Total cost of property, plant and equipment was $15,318,226 and $3,175,255 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase $12,142,971 in gross amount of property, plant and equipment was mainly attributable to Fuda Yiyang’s (1) establishment of new manufacturing facilities, including purchase of new equipment, completion of new workshop buildings; (2) purchase of the land use right of one block of land from Wu Yiting, a related party (See Note 11), on which the new factory buildings are located; and (3) the completion of the upgrade and improvement of Fuda Yiyang’s original facilities.

In China, all land is owned by the government and there is no private ownership of land.  The government issues a certificate of use right, which is transferable, and permits the holder to use the land.  Under four “State-owned Land Use Right Certificates,” the Company owns the use right for three blocks of industrial-use land (covering approximately 491,374 square feet) for the term of 50 years, beginning from issuance date of the certificates.

Depreciation expense was $671,188 and $202,659 for the fiscal year of 2008 and 2007, respectively.  As a result, accumulated depreciation was $1,448,788 and $777,600 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The land use rights for one parcel of land with the acreage of 210,435square feet and 10 workshop buildings are used as collateral pursuant to a mortgage agreement with a commercial bank.  The mortgage agreement initially matured on September 5, 2007, and, on September 6, 2007, was replaced by a mortgage agreement that expires on September 5, 2010.  The net book value of this collateral as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 was$1,480,951 and $1,517,483 respectively.  Under the terms of the mortgage agreement, the Company may borrow from time to time up to the maximum amount provided in the mortgage agreement, which is RMB13 million ($1.9 million).  At December 31, 2008, we had borrowed approximately $1.9 million under the mortgage agreement.
 
7.  
Construction in Progress
 
As of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the balance of construction in progress was $881 and $1,867,513, respectively. The property is owned by Fuda Yiyang. The Company made progress payments to the contractor in based on the construction progress, with the amount paid being consistent with the work performed.
 
The balance $1,867,513 of construction in progress as of December 31, 2007 represented the construction of new workshop buildings to expand current production capability in a new location, which started in the early part of 2007. In the second quarter of 2008, with the completion of these workshop buildings, this balance together with the new investment occurred during the first half of 2008 was transferred to the property, plant and equipment.
 
The upgrade or betterment of the original manufacturing facilities and also construction of a new warehouse, which started in the early of 2008, was finished during the third quarter of 2008. Thus, at September 30, 2008, this property is reflected as property, plant and equipment.

The balance $881 as of December 31, 2008, represented upfront expenses for new production facility which is in the pre-planning stage.
 
8.  
Other long-term assets
 
As of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, other long-term assets were $373,932 and $349,867, respectively. The increase was due to appreciation of value of the RMB against U.S. dollars. These other long-term assets include land use rights on one block of land of 51,235 square feet and a workshop building and equipment, which have not been used since 2004. Since value of land in similar sections of the city was increasing, no impairment on land use right has been charged. The workshop buildings were maintained in good condition, and most of the equipment would be transported and reinstalled into the Company’s new workshop buildings. A provision for impairment of certain idle assets in the amount of $177,478 was made previously when they were turned into idle status. As of December 31, 2008, although such equipment had been transported and reinstalled in the new workshop building, which was completed in the second quarter of 2008, the relevant production line has not been in operation; therefore such equipment was still regarded as idle assets.

On December 3, 2007, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement and an escrow agreement with three investors, pursuant to which the Company closed a private financing of $3,400,000 and correspondingly issued to the investors 3,090,909 shares of series A preferred stock and warrants to purchase 2,060,606 share of common stock at $1.80 per share (“$1.80 Warrants”) and 4,121,212 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share (“$3.00 Warrants”).  Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of series A preferred stock, each share of series A preferred stock is convertible into one share of common stock, at a conversion price of $1.10, subject to adjustment.  The Company accounted for the series A preferred stock and related freestanding warrants as equity according to their features, as set forth in the certificate of designation of Series A preferred stock and terms of relevant agreements.
 
On July 18, 2008, one of the investors exercised warrants to purchase 30,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.80 per share, from which the Company received proceeds $54,000.

In addition, 3,000,000 shares of series A preferred stock were placed in escrow for issuance in the event that the Company does not meet target levels of earnings before interest and taxes as defined are less than specified levels. The 3,000,000 shares that are held in escrow are not treated as outstanding since the condition which would result in the delivery of the shares from escrow has not occurred.  If the targets are not met, the number of shares to be delivered to the investors was determined by a formula.  The target level was met for 2007, and, pursuant to an amendment, described below, the provision for an adjustment based on targeted earnings was eliminated.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 
The Company agreed that, by March 2, 2008, which is 90 days after the closing on December 3, 2007, it would have appointed such number of independent directors that would result in a majority of our directors being independent directors and we would have an audit committee composed solely of at least three independent directors and a compensation committee would have a majority of independent directors. The agreement provides that the Company pay liquidated damages (i) if the Company fails to have a majority of independent directors 90 days after the closing or (ii) thereafter, if the Company subsequently fails to meet these requirements for a period of 60 days for an excused reason, as defined in the purchase agreement, or 75 days for a reason which is not an excused reason. Liquidated damages are payable in cash or additional shares of series A preferred stock, with the series A preferred stock being valued at its liquidation preference of $1.10 per share. The liquidated damages are computed at the rate of 12% per annum of the purchase price, with a limit of $408,000. The appointment of four directors, all of whom are independent directors, took effect on April 28, 2008 and related board committees were created on the same day. The investors waived their right to liquidated damages resulting from the failure to have met the required schedule.

The Company and the investors entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Company is required to have a registration statement filed with the SEC by February 1, 2008 and declared effective by the SEC not later than June 29, 2008. We are required to pay liquidated damages at the rate of 1,000 shares of series A preferred stock for each day after June 29, 2008 that the registration statement is not declared effective or for any period that we fail to keep the registration statement effective, up to a maximum of 370,000 shares. The number of shares of series A preferred stock issuable pursuant to the liquidated damages provision is subject to reduction based on the maximum number of shares that can be registered under the applicable SEC guidelines. The registration statement was declared effective on June 17, 2008 and no liquidated damage were incurred.
 
(ii)  
Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement and Registration Agreement
 
On February 3, 2009, the Company entered into an amendment with the investors in the Company’s December 2007 private placement, which amended the securities purchase agreement and the registration rights agreement among the Company and the investors.  Pursuant to the amendment:

·  
The investors exchanged all of the then outstanding warrants issued to the investors pursuant to the purchase agreement for a total of 1,350,000 shares of series A preferred stock.

·  
The date by which the Company is to apply to list its common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market, Nasdaq Capital Market or the New York or American Stock Exchange was deferred from June 3, 2009 to June 3, 2010.

·  
The requirement that the Company deliver up to 3,000,000 shares of series A preferred stock to the investors based on the Company’s EBIT per share for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 was deleted.

·  
The definition of “Required Effective Date” in the Registration Agreement was amended so that the next registration statement to be filed pursuant to the Registration Agreement is to be declared effective by June 3, 2010, and the Company is not be required to update the registration statement which was declared effective by the SEC on June 17, 2008 and which covers 1,250,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants.

Retained Earnings
 
As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the retained earnings were $3,745,028 and $7,753,585, respectively.  The decrease of $4,008,557 was due to: (1) net loss $439,525 incurred during 2008; (2) allocation of retained earnings of $3,569,032 (RMB 25 million) to increase registered capital of Fuda Yiyang in April 2008, which resulted in the increase of Fuda Yiyang’s registered capital from $603,321 (RMB 5 million) to $4,389,430 (RMB 30 million).  
 
15.  
(Loss) Earnings per Share
 
Basic (loss) earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share include the dilutive effect of warrants, subject treasury stock method, and convertible preferred stock, subject to if-converted method.

As of December 31, 2008, there were outstanding warrants to purchase 6,251,818 common shares.  Since the warrant exercise prices are greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for 2008, these warrants were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share for 2008.  The potentially dilutive securities included 3,090,909 shares of series A preferred stock.  However, because the Company incurred net loss during 2008, the effect of these dilutive securities would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per share for 2008 is the same.

As of December 31, 2007, there were outstanding warrants to purchase 6,281,818 common shares which had exercise prices lower than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for 2007. Thus these warrants and 3,090,909 shares of Serial A Preferred Stock had dilutive effect in 2007.
