NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2013

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Cleantech Solutions International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on June 24, 1987 under the name of Malex, Inc. On December 18, 2007, the Company’s corporate name was changed to China Wind Systems, Inc., and on June 13, 2011, the Company’s corporate name was changed to Cleantech Solutions International, Inc. On August 7, 2012, the Company was converted into a Nevada corporation.

Through its affiliated companies and subsidiaries, the Company manufactures and sells forged products and fabricated products to a range of clean technology customers including high precision forged rolled rings and related products for the wind power industry and other industries and equipment to the solar industry. The Company also makes textile dyeing and finishing machines. The Company is the sole owner of Fulland Limited (“Fulland”), a Cayman Island limited liability company, which was organized on May 9, 2007. Fulland owns 100% of the capital stock of Green Power Environment Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“Green Power”) and Wuxi Fulland Wind Energy Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Fulland Wind Energy”), which are wholly foreign-owned enterprises (“WFOE”) organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). Green Power is a party to a series of contractual arrangements, as fully described below, dated October 12, 2007 with Wuxi Huayang Electrical Power Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Electrical”) and Wuxi Huayang Dyeing Machinery Co., Ltd. (“Dyeing”), both of which are limited liability companies organized under the laws of, and based in, the PRC. Electrical and Dyeing are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Huayang Companies.”

Fulland was organized by the owners of the Huayang Companies as a special purpose vehicle for purposes of raising capital, in accordance with requirements of the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”). On May 31, 2007, SAFE issued an official notice known as Hui Zong Fa [2007] No. 106 (“Circular 106”), which requires the owners of any Chinese company to obtain SAFE’s approval before establishing any offshore holding company structure for foreign financing as well as subsequent acquisition matters in China. Accordingly, the owners of the Huayang Companies, Mr. Jianhua Wu and Ms. Lihua Tang, submitted their application to SAFE in early September 2007. On October 11, 2007, SAFE approved their application, permitting these Chinese citizens to establish Fulland as a special purpose vehicle for any foreign ownership and capital raising activities by the Huayang Companies.

Electrical was formed on May 21, 2004, and Fulland Wind Energy was formed on August 27, 2008. Beginning in April 2007, Electrical began to produce large-scaled forged rolled rings that are up to three meters in diameter for the wind-power and other industries. In 2009, the Company began to produce and sell forged products through Fulland Wind Energy. Through Fulland Wind Energy, the Company manufactures and machines all forged products, including wind products such as shafts, rolled rings, gear rims, gearboxes, bearings and other components and finished products and assemblies for the wind power industry, and solar products, including large-scale equipment used in the manufacturing process for the solar industry. The Company refers to this segment of its business as the forged rolled rings and related components division.

Dyeing, which was formed on August 17, 1995, produces and sells a variety of high and low temperature dyeing and finishing machinery for the textile industry. The Company refers to this segment as the dyeing division.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Basis of presentation; management’s responsibility for preparation of financial statements (continued)

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for Cleantech Solutions International, Inc., its subsidiaries and variable interest entities, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the “U.S.”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.

The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Fulland, Green Power and Fulland Wind Energy, as well as the financial statements of Huayang Companies, Dyeing and Electric. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, the Huayang Companies are considered variable interest entities (“VIE”), and the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company’s relationships with the Huayang Companies and their shareholders are governed by a series of contractual arrangements between Green Power, the Company’s wholly foreign-owned enterprise in the PRC, and each of the Huayang Companies, which are the operating companies of the Company in the PRC. Under PRC laws, each of Green Power, Dyeing and Electrical is an independent legal entity and none of them is exposed to liabilities incurred by the other parties. The contractual arrangements constitute valid and binding obligations of the parties of such agreements. Each of the contractual arrangements and the rights and obligations of the parties thereto are enforceable and valid in accordance with the laws of the PRC. On October 12, 2007, the Company entered into the following contractual arrangements with each of Dyeing and Electrical:

Consulting Services Agreement. Pursuant to the exclusive consulting services agreements between Green Power and the Huayang Companies, Green Power has the exclusive right to provide to the Huayang Companies general business operation services, including advice and strategic planning, as well as consulting services related to the technological research and development of dyeing and finishing machines, electrical equipment and related products (the “ Services ”). Under this agreement, Green Power owns the intellectual property rights developed or discovered through research and development, in the course of providing the Services, or derived from the provision of the Services. The Huayang Companies shall pay a quarterly consulting service fees in Renminbi (“RMB”) to Fulland that is equal to all of the Huayang Companies’ profits for such quarter.

Operating Agreement. Pursuant to the operating agreement among Green Power, the Huayang Companies and all shareholders of the Huayang Companies, Green Power provides guidance and instructions on the Huayang Companies’ daily operations, financial management and employment issues. The Huayang Companies shareholders must designate the candidates recommended by Green Power as their representatives on the boards of directors of each of the Huayang Companies. Green Power has the right to appoint senior executives of the Huayang Companies. In addition, Green Power agrees to guarantee the Huayang Companies’ performance under any agreements or arrangements relating to the Huayang Companies’ business arrangements with any third party. The Huayang Companies, in return, agree to pledge their accounts receivable and all of their assets to Green Power. Moreover, each of the Huayang Companies agrees that, without the prior consent of Green Power, it will not engage in any transactions that could materially affect its assets, liabilities, rights or operations, including, without limitation, incurrence or assumption of any indebtedness, sale or purchase of any assets or rights, incurrence of any encumbrance on any of their assets or intellectual property rights in favor of a third party or transfer of any agreements relating to their business operation to any third party. The term of this agreement, as amended on November 1, 2008, is 20 years from October 12, 2007 and may be extended only upon Green Power’s written confirmation prior to the expiration of the this agreement, with the extended term to be mutually agreed upon by the parties.

Basis of presentation; management’s responsibility for preparation of financial statements (continued)

Equity Pledge Agreement. Under the equity pledge agreement between the Huayang Companies’ shareholders and Green Power, the Huayang Companies’ shareholders pledged all of their equity interests in the Huayang Companies to Green Power to guarantee the Huayang Companies’ performance of their respective obligations under the consulting services agreement. If the Huayang Companies or the Huayang Companies’ shareholders breach their respective contractual obligations, Green Power, as pledgee, will be entitled to certain rights, including the right to sell the pledged equity interests. The Huayang Companies’ shareholders also agreed that, upon occurrence of any event of default, Green Power shall be granted an exclusive, irrevocable power of attorney to take actions in the place and stead of the Huayang Companies’ shareholders to carry out the security provisions of the equity pledge agreement and take any action and execute any instrument that Green Power may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of the equity pledge agreement. The Huayang Companies’ shareholders agreed not to dispose of the pledged equity interests or take any actions that would prejudice Green Power’s interest. The equity pledge agreement will expire two years after the Huayang Companies’ obligations under the consulting services agreements have been fulfilled.

Option Agreement.Under the option agreement between the Huayang Companies’ shareholders and Green Power, the Huayang Companies’ shareholders irrevocably granted Green Power or its designated person an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of the equity interests in the Huayang Companies for the cost of the initial contributions to the registered capital or the minimum amount of consideration permitted by applicable PRC law. Green Power or its designated person has sole discretion to decide when to exercise the option, whether in part or in full. The term of this agreement, as amended on November 1, 2008, is 20 years from October 12, 2007 and may be extended prior to its expiration by written agreement of the parties.

Pursuant to ASC Topic 810 and related subtopics related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, the accounts of the Huayang Companies are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements. As VIEs, the Huayang Companies’ sales are included in the Company’s total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with the Company’s, and the Company’s net income includes all of the Huayang Companies net income. The Company does not have any non-controlling interest and, accordingly, did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income of the VIEs that is attributable to the Company. Because of the contractual arrangements, the Company has a pecuniary interest in the Huayang Companies that requires consolidation of the Company’s and the Huayang Companies’ financial statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the allowance for obsolete inventory, the useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets and valuation of deferred tax assets, accruals for taxes due, and the value of stock-based compensation and warrant modification expense.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions mainly in the PRC and the U.S. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, balances in banks in the PRC of $1,045,269 and $1,414,674, respectively, are uninsured.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company adopted the guidance of ASC Topic 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The following table presents information about equipment held for sale measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2013:

	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Balance at March 31, 2013		Gains (Losses)
Equipment held for sale	$	-	$	-	$	7,157,652	$	7,157,652	$	-

The following table presents information about equipment held for sale measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2012:

	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Balance at December 31, 2012		Loss
Equipment held for sale	$	-	$	-	$	7,118,555	$	7,118,555	$	2,206,253

The Company conducted an impairment assessment on the equipment held for sale based on the guidelines established in FASB ASC Topic 360 to determine the estimated fair market value of the equipment as of December 31, 2012. Upon completion of its 2012 impairment analysis, the Company determined that the carrying value exceeded the fair market value on equipment which is held for sale. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $2,206,253 at December 31, 2012. The difference in the value of equipment held for sale at March 31, 2013 from December 31, 2012 reflects changes in the currency exchange ratio.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, notes receivable, accounts receivable, inventories, advances to suppliers, prepaid VAT on purchases, equipment held for sale, prepaid expenses and other, short-term bank loans, bank acceptance notes payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, capital lease obligations, advances from customers, VAT and service taxes payable and income taxes payable approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

ASC Topic 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.

The Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC, and none of these deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts. A significant portion of the Company’s sales are credit sales which are primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in these areas; however, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivables is limited due to generally short payment terms. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk.

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s cash balances by geographic area were as follows:

	March 31, 2013				December 31, 2012
Country:
United States	$	106,149	9.2	%	$	31,054	2.1	%
China		1,045,269	90.8	%		1,414,674	97.9	%
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	1,151,418	100.0	%	$	1,445,728	100.0	%

Restricted cash

Restricted cash consists of cash deposits held by a bank to secure bank acceptance notes payable.

Notes receivable

Notes receivable represents trade accounts receivable due from customers where the customers’ bank has guaranteed the payment of the receivable. This amount is non-interest bearing and is normally paid within six months. Historically, the Company has experienced no losses on notes receivable. The Company’s notes receivable totaled $221,843 and $88,029 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, a customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has established, based on a review of its outstanding balances, an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amounts of $2,606,294 and $2,592,057, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work in process and finished goods related to the Company’s products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the weighted average method. An allowance is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record reserves for the difference between the cost and the market value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates. The Company recorded an inventory reserve of $136,727 and $135,980 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Advances to suppliers

Advances to suppliers represent the cash paid in advance for the purchase of raw material from suppliers. The advance payments are intended to ensure preferential pricing and delivery. The amounts advanced under such arrangements totaled $1,341,777 and $593,104 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

Included in property and equipment is construction-in-progress which consisted of factory improvements and machinery pending installation and includes the costs of construction, machinery and equipment, and any interest charges arising from borrowings used to finance these assets during the period of construction or installation of the assets. No provision for depreciation is made on construction-in-progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and ready for their intended use.

Equipment held for sale

Long-lived assets are classified as held for sale when certain criteria are met. These criteria include: management’s commitment to a plan to sell the assets; the availability of the assets for immediate sale in their present condition; an active program to locate buyers and other actions to sell the assets has been initiated; the sale of the assets is probable and their transfer is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; the assets are being marketed at reasonable prices in relation to their fair value; and it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the plan to sell the assets. We measure long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less associated costs to sell. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company reflected certain electro-slag re-melted (“ESR”) equipment that was used in 2010 and 2011 to produce forged products for the high performance components market as equipment held for sale on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not record any impairment charge for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Advances from customers

Advances from customers at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 amounted to $2,412,457 and $1,851,987, respectively, and consist of prepayments from customers for merchandise that had not yet been shipped. The Company will recognize the deposits as revenue as customers take delivery of the goods and title to the assets is transferred to customers in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy.

Revenue recognition

Pursuant to the guidance of ASC Topic 605 and ASC Topic 360, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of dyeing and finishing equipment, forged rolled rings and other components upon shipment and transfer of title. The other elements may include installation and, generally, a one-year warranty. Equipment installation revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete installation and is recognized when the labor has been completed and the equipment has been accepted by the customer, which is generally within a couple days of the delivery of the equipment. Warranty revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete a service and generally is recognized over the contract period. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, amounts allocated to installation and warranty revenues were minimal. Based on historical experience, warranty service calls and any related labor costs have been minimal. All other product sales with customer specific acceptance provisions, including the forged rolled rings, are recognized upon customer acceptance and the delivery of the parts or service. Revenues related to spare part sales are recognized upon shipment or delivery based on the trade terms.

Income taxes

The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC and the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method prescribed by ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company applied the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in our financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company’s liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company’s results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no uncertain tax positions, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of ASC Topic 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. The awards to consultants and other third-parties are then revalued, or the total compensation is recalculated, based on the then current fair value, at each subsequent reporting date.

Shipping costs

Shipping costs are included in selling expenses and totaled $263,303 and $216,847 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Employee benefits

The Company’s operations and employees are all located in the PRC. The Company makes mandatory contributions to the PRC government’s health, retirement benefit and unemployment funds in accordance with the relevant Chinese social security laws. The costs of these payments are charged to the same accounts as the related salary costs in the same period as the related salary costs. Employee benefit costs totaled $48,735 and $44,670 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Advertising

Advertising is expensed as incurred and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and totaled $0 and $3,244 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Research and development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company did not incur any research and development expense in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Foreign currency translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the parent company is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s operating subsidiaries is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). For the subsidiaries and affiliates, whose functional currencies are the RMB, results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. As a result, amounts relating to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows may not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. The cumulative translation adjustment and effect of exchange rate changes on cash for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $7,416 and $5,135, respectively. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date with any transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

All of the Company’s revenue transactions are transacted in the functional currency of the operating subsidiaries and affiliates. Other than for the purchase of equipment from non-Chinese suppliers, the Company does not enter into any material transaction in foreign currencies. Transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.

Asset and liability accounts at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were translated at 6.2816 RMB to $1.00 and at 6.31610 RMB to $1.00, respectively, which were the exchange rates on the balance sheet dates. Equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to the statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were 6.28582 RMB and 6.32012 RMB to $1.00, respectively. Cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets.

Reverse stock split

The Company effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split on March 6, 2012. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.

Income per share of common stock

ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common stock consist of common stock issuable upon the conversion of series A convertible preferred stock (using the if-converted method) and common stock purchase warrants (using the treasury stock method).

Recent accounting pronouncement

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05 “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.” ASU 2013-05 addresses the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment when a parent either sells part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. For public entities, the ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods, within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the accounting standards that require the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carry forwards. Additionally, the accounting standards require the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Realization of deferred tax assets, including those related to the U.S. net operating loss carry forwards and to the temporary differences related to the deduction of impairment losses in PRC for income tax purposes as compared to financial statement purposes, are dependent upon future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or are utilized.

Net deferred tax asset related to the U.S. net operating loss carry forward has been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC and the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Effective in January 2008, under the Income Tax Laws of PRC, Chinese companies are generally subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. The Company’s VIEs (Dyeing and Electric) and the Company’s subsidiary, Fulland Wind Energy, are subject to these statutory rates. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Fulland Limited was incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, this entity is not subject to income taxes.

The tax effects of temporary differences under the Income Tax Law of the PRC that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

	March 31, 2013			December 31,  2012
Deferred tax asset:
Net U.S. operating loss carry forward	$	1,660,161		$	1,614,245
Loss on impairment of equipment		554,921			551,890
Total gross deferred tax asset		2,215,082			2,166,135
Less: valuation allowance		(1,660,161	)		(1,614,245	)
Net deferred tax asset	$	554,921		$	551,890

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES (continued)

The valuation allowance at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $1,660,161 and $1,614,245, respectively, related to the U.S. net operating loss carry forward. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the valuation allowance was increased by approximately $46,000.

In assessing the ability to realize the deferred tax asset from the loss on impairment of equipment held for sale in PRC, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will be realized. The Company concluded that the temporary difference on the impairment loss of equipment held for sale in PRC will be deductible or utilized on the future PRC taxable income and a deferred tax asset of $554,921 and $551,890 has been set up at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

NOTE 11 – STATUTORY RESERVES

The Company is required to make appropriations to reserve funds, comprising the statutory surplus reserve, statutory public welfare fund and discretionary surplus reserve, based on after-tax net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the PRC (the “PRC GAAP”). Appropriation to the statutory surplus reserve should be at least 10% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with the PRC GAAP until the reserve is equal to 50% of the entities’ registered capital or members’ equity. Appropriations to the statutory public welfare fund are at a minimum of 5% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP. Commencing on January 1, 2006, the new PRC regulations waived the requirement for appropriating retained earnings to a welfare fund. As of December 31, 2012, the Company appropriated the required maximum 50% of its registered capital to statutory reserves for Dyeing and Electric, accordingly, no additional statutory reserve is required at March 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had not appropriated the required maximum 50% of its registered capital to statutory reserve for Fulland Wind Energy.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, statutory reserve activity was as follows:

	Dyeing		Electrical		Fulland Wind Energy		Total
Balance – December 31, 2012	$	373,048	$	1,168,796	$	937,894	$	2,479,738

NOTE 14 – RESTRICTED NET ASSETS

Regulations in the PRC permit payments of dividends by the Company’s PRC VIEs only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Subject to certain cumulative limit, a statutory reserve fund requires annual appropriations of at least 10% of after-tax profit, if any, of the relevant PRC VIE’s and subsidiary. The statutory reserve funds are not distributable as cash dividends. As a result of these PRC laws and regulations, the Company’s PRC VIE’s and its subsidiary are restricted in their abilities to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company. Foreign exchange and other regulations in PRC may further restrict the Company’s PRC VIEs and its subsidiary from transferring funds to the Company in the form of loans and/or advances.

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, substantially all of the Company’s net assets are attributable to the PRC VIE’s and its subsidiary located in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s restricted net assets at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were approximately $79,734,000 and $77,514,000, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are engaged in two business segments – the forged rolled rings and related components segment, in which we manufacture and sell high precision forged rolled rings, shafts, flanges, and other forged components for the wind power and other industries as well as equipment for the solar power industry, and the dyeing and finishing equipment segment, in which we manufacture and sell textile dyeing and finishing machines.

The following table sets forth information as to revenue of our forged rolled rings and related components and dyeing and finishing equipment segments in dollars and as a percent of revenue (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013					2012
	Dollars		%			Dollars		%
Forged rolled rings and related components:
Wind power industry	$	3,696		26.6	%	$	2,537		27.0	%
Other industries		2,831		20.4	%		3,048		32.4	%
Total forged rolled rings and related components		6,527		47.0	%		5,585		59.4	%
Dyeing and finishing equipment		7,358		53.0	%		3,824		40.6	%
Total	$	13,885		100.0	%	$	9,409		100.0	%

Forged Rolled Rings and Related Components Segment

Through our forged rolled rings and other related products division

● We produce precision forged rolled rings and other forged components to the wind and other industries. Our forged rolled rings and other related products are sold for use by manufacturers of industrial equipment. Forged rolled rings and other forged components for the wind industry are used in wind turbines, which are used to generate wind power.

● We manufacture and deliver test subassemblies for solar cell manufacturing equipment, which marked our entry into the solar products market, although we did not generate any revenue from solar sales during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

The demand for products used in manufacturing in general including wind power industry and other industries, is uncertain. Although we believe that over the long term, the forged rolled rings and related components segment will expand, and the government of the PRC has announced its desire to increase the use of wind power as an energy source, in the short term other factors, such as economic factors and the fluctuations in the price of oil and coal, may affect the requirements by our customers and potential customers for our products. To the extent that the demand for our forged rolled rings and related components declines, our revenue and net income will be affected.

Among all the renewable energies, we believe that wind power is at a mature stage in terms of the technology and possesses the best prospects for large-scale commercial development. We believe that it is becoming more competitive against traditional energy sources as the industry continues to grow and production costs continue to fall. We believe that wind power will see its share of China’s national energy mix gradually increase.

Dyeing and Finishing Equipment Segment

Revenue from our dyeing segment increased $3.5 million, or 92.4%, in the three months ended March 31, 2013 from the three months ended March 31, 2012. We believe that the increase reflects our marketing effort for our new airflow dyeing units, which use air instead of water which is used in the traditional dyeing process. We believe that our air-flow technology, which is designed to enable users to meet the stricter environmental standards, with reduced input costs, fewer wrinkles, less damage to the textile and reduced emissions. With the growing acceptance of our new dyeing technology and the China government’s mandate to phase out obsolete machinery in China’s textile industry, we expect our revenue from this segment will continue to increase in the near future. Our gross margin from our dyeing segment increased from 19.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to 22.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

24

The factors that affected our revenue, gross margin and net income in both of our segments during the three months ended March 31, 2013 may continue to affect our operations in the rest of fiscal 2013. Our ability to expand our operations and increase our revenue is largely affected by the PRC government’s policy on such matters as the availability of credit, which affects all of our operations, and its policies relating to alternative energy such as wind and solar power, which affect our products for these industries. Our business is also affected by general economic conditions. Because of the nature of our products, our customers’ projection of future economic conditions are an integral part of their decisions as to whether to purchase capital equipment at this time or defer such purchases until a future date.

Inventory and Raw Materials

A major element of our cost of revenues is raw materials, principally steel as well as other metals. These metals are subject to price fluctuations, and recently these fluctuations have been significant. In times of increasing prices, we need to try to fix the price at which we purchase raw materials 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 metals at prices which are high in terms of the price at which we can sell our products, which also can impair our margins. One major supplier provided approximately 16% of our purchases of raw materials for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, our inventory increased by approximately $0.8 million and our advance from customers was approximately $2.4 million at March 31, 2013. This increase in inventory was attributable to an increase in steel inventory to secure steel pricing for anticipated forging orders, an increase in dyeing machinery finished goods to meet increased customers’ orders, and an increase in inventory related to our solar products. A significant portion of the increase in both inventory and advances from customers relates to products for our solar customer, for which we received advance payments. At the request of the customer we have kept the products in our warehouse. This sale will be recognized when the last step of the sale, which is passing Chinese customs, is completed. Upon the completion of the sale, the advances from this customer will be recognized as revenues and our inventory will be reduced by the products sold. We expect to recognize this sale in the near future.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, recovery of long-lived assets, income taxes, and the valuation of equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

25

Variable Interest Entities

Pursuant to ASC Topic 810 and related subtopics related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, we are required to include in our consolidated financial statements the financial statements of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The accounting standards require a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns. VIEs are those entities in which we, through contractual arrangements, bear the risk of, and enjoy the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity, and therefore we are the primary beneficiary of the entity.

The Huayang Companies are considered VIEs, and we are the primary beneficiary. On November 13, 2007, we entered into agreements with the Huayang Companies pursuant to which we shall receive 100% of the Huayang Companies’ net income. In accordance with these agreements, the Huayang Companies shall pay consulting fees equal to 100% of its net income to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Green Power, and Green Power shall supply the technology and administrative services needed to service the Huayang Companies.

The accounts of the Huayang Companies are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements. As VIEs, the Huayang Companies sales are included in our total sales, their income from operations is consolidated with ours, and our net income includes all of the Huayang Companies’ net income, and their assets and liabilities are included in our consolidated balance sheets. The VIEs do not have any non-controlling interest and, accordingly, we did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income attributable to us. Because of the contractual arrangements, we have pecuniary interest in the Huayang Companies that require consolidation of the Huayang Companies financial statements with our financial statements.

Accounts Receivable

We have a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We periodically review our accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

As a basis for estimating the likelihood of collection has been established, we consider a number of factors when determining reserves for uncollectable accounts. We believe that we use a reasonably reliable methodology to estimate the collectability of our accounts receivable. We review our allowances for doubtful accounts on at least a quarterly basis. We also consider whether the historical economic conditions are comparable to current economic conditions. If the financial condition of our customers or other parties that we have business relations with were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the weighted average method. An allowance is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, we will record additional reserves for the difference between the cost and the market value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates. We review inventory quantities on hand and on order and record, on a quarterly basis, a provision for excess and obsolete inventory, if necessary. If the results of the review determine that a write-down is necessary, we recognize a loss in the period in which the loss is identified, whether or not the inventory is retained. Our inventory reserves establish a new cost basis for inventory and are not reversed until we sell or dispose of the related inventory. Such provisions are established based on historical usage, adjusted for known changes in demands for such products, or the estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements.

Advances to Suppliers

Advances to suppliers represent the cash paid in advance for the purchase of raw material from suppliers. The advance payments are intended to ensure preferential pricing and delivery.

26

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

	Useful Life
Building and building improvements		20 Years
Manufacturing equipment		5 – 10 Years
Office equipment and furniture		5 Years
Vehicle		5 Years

The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in disposition.

Included in property and equipment is construction-in-progress which consists of factories and office buildings under construction and machinery pending installation and includes the costs of construction, machinery and equipment, and any interest charges arising from borrowings used to finance these assets during the period of construction or installation. No provision for depreciation is made on construction-in-progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and ready for their intended use.

We examine the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. We recognize an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.

Equipment Held for Sale

Long-lived assets are classified as held for sale when certain criteria are met. These criteria include: management’s commitment to a plan to sell the assets; the availability of the assets for immediate sale in their present condition; an active program to locate buyers and other actions to sell the assets has been initiated; the sale of the assets is probable and their transfer is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; the assets are being marketed at reasonable prices in relation to their fair value; and it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the plan to sell the assets. We measure long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less associated costs to sell. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we reflected certain electro-slag re-melted (“ESR”) equipment that was used to produce forged products for the high performance components market as equipment held for sale on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Land Use Rights

There is no private ownership of land in the PRC. All land in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to any individual or company. The government grants a land use right that permits the holder of the land use right to use the land for a specified period. Our land use rights were granted with a term of 45 or 50 years. Any transfer of the land use right requires government approval. We have recorded as an intangible asset the costs paid to acquire a land use right. The land use rights are amortized on the straight-line method over the land use right terms.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue from the sale of dyeing and finishing equipment upon shipment and transfer of title. The other elements may include installation and generally a one-year warranty.

27

Equipment installation revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete installation and is recognized when the labor has been completed and the equipment has been accepted by the customer, which is generally close to the date of delivery of the equipment. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the amounts allocated to installation revenues were minimal.

Warranty revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete a service and generally is recognized over the contract period. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, amounts allocated to warranty revenues were minimal. Based on historical experience, warranty service calls and any related labor costs have been minimal.

All other product sales, including the forged rolled rings, with customer specific acceptance provisions, are recognized upon customer acceptance and the delivery of the parts or service. Revenues related to spare part sales are recognized upon shipment or delivery based on the trade terms.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We did not incur any research and development expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. Product development expenses, which primarily consist of cost of material used and salaries paid for the development of our products and fees paid to third parties, are included in general and administrative expenses.

Income Taxes

We are governed by the income tax laws of the PRC and the United States. Income taxes are accounted for pursuant to accounting standards, which is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. The charge for taxes is based on the results for the period as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they related to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and we intend to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award. The Accounting Standards Codification also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the period of services or the vesting period, whichever is applicable. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. We record compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. The awards to consultants and other third-parties are then revalued, or the total compensation is recalculated based on the then current fair value, at each subsequent reporting date.

28

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05 “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.” ASU 2013-05 addresses the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment when a parent either sells part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. For public entities, the ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods, within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. We do not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.

Currency Exchange Rates

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, and the functional currency of our operating subsidiaries and VIEs is the RMB. All of our sales are denominated in RMB. As a result, changes in the relative values of U.S. dollars and RMB affect our reported levels of revenues and profitability as the results of our operations are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. In particular, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could have a significant impact on our financial stability due to a mismatch among various foreign currency-denominated sales and costs. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and RMB affect our gross and net profit margins and could result in foreign exchange and operating losses.

Our exposure to foreign exchange risk primarily relates to currency gains or losses resulting from timing differences between signing of sales contracts and settling of these contracts. Furthermore, we translate monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies into RMB, the functional currency of our operating subsidiaries. Our results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in our statement of shareholders’ equity. We have not used any forward contracts, currency options or borrowings to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. We cannot predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our results of operations and may incur net foreign currency losses in the future.

29

Our financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency of our parent company. The functional currency of our operating subsidiaries and affiliates is RMB. To the extent we hold assets denominated in U.S. dollars, any appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar could result in a charge in our statement of operations and a reduction in the value of our U.S. dollar denominated assets. On the other hand, a decline in the value of RMB against the U.S. dollar could reduce the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of our financial results.

Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we had revenues of $13,885,000, as compared to revenues of $9,409,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $4,476,000 or approximately 47.6%. The increase in revenue was attributable to the increase in revenue from our forged rolled rings and related products for wind power  industry and the increase in revenue from dyeing segment, offset by the decrease in revenue from our forged rolled rings and related products for other industries, and was summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013		For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012		Increase (Decrease)			Percentage Change
Forged rolled rings and related products
Wind power industry	$	3,696	$	2,537	$	1,159			45.7	%
Other industries		2,831		3,048		(217	)		(7.1	)%
Total forged rolled rings and related products		6,527		5,585		942			16.9	%
Dyeing and finishing equipment		7,358		3,824		3,534			92.4	%
Total revenues	$	13,885	$	9,409	$	4,476			47.6	%

Forged rolled rings and related products segment

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, revenue from forged rolled rings and related products for the wind power industry increased by approximately $1.2 million or 45.7% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in revenue from forging of rolled rings and related products for wind power industry was primarily attributable to our increased sales efforts. After several quarters of reduced orders, we saw a nice uptick in demand for forged rolled rings and related products for the wind power industry from our customers in the first quarter of 2013.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, revenue from the sale of forged rolled rings and related products to other industries decreased by approximately $0.2 million or 7.1% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012 which reflecting the normal business fluctuation.

Although recent data from the China Wind Energy Association cites that wind power surpassed nuclear to become the third largest source of electric power in China, the industry remains fraught with challenges. Issues of wind turbine overcapacity, grid connectivity issues, international trade protectionism and tight credit conditions persist. The growth rate of new capacity slowed in 2012 to 14 gigawatts from about 21 gigawatts in 2011.

Given this environment, we anticipate sales volumes of forged rolled rings and related products to customers in the wind power industry will remain around their current levels for the remainder of 2013. We expect that over the longer term these issues will be resolved, as China moves forward with its goal to reach 100 GW of installed wind power capacity by 2015 and 200 GW by 2020.

The demand for products such as ours which are used for wind power industry is uncertain. We believe that over the long term, our forged rolled rings and related components for wind power industry will expand since the government of the PRC has announced its desire to increase the use of wind power as an energy source. We are currently seeking to expand into other industries including oil and natural gas, although we can give no assurances that the expansion will be successful.

Dyeing and finishing equipment segment

The increase in revenue from the sale of dyeing and finishing equipment was primarily attributable to the effects of the policies of the PRC local governments to encourage the purchase of low-emission airflow dyeing machine which are intended to reduce pollution from the dyeing process. With the growing acceptance of our new dyeing technology and the China government’s mandate to phase out obsolete machinery in China’s textile industry, we expect our revenue from this segment will continue to increase in the near future.

31

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues includes the cost of raw materials, labor, depreciation and other overhead costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, cost of revenues was $10,755,000 as compared to $7,526,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $3,229,000, or 42.9%. Cost of revenues related to the manufacture of forged rolled rings and related products was $5,065,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $4,451,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Cost of revenues for the dyeing and finishing equipment segment was $5,690,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $3,075,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Gross profit and gross margin

Our gross profit was $3,130,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $1,883,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, representing gross margins of 22.5% and 20.0%, respectively.

Gross profit from forged rolled rings and related products segment was $1,462,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $1,134,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, representing gross margins of approximately 22.4% and 20.3%, respectively.The increase in our gross margin for the forged rolled rings and related products segment for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012 was mainly attributed to the increase in operational and cost efficiencies, including the allocation of fixed costs primarily consisting of depreciation, to cost of revenues as we operated at higher production levels and a slight decrease in our raw materials costs.  We expect that we can improve our gross margin from forged rolled rings and related products segment to the extent that we can become more efficient and be able to produce larger quantities for inventory and revenues.

Gross profit for the dyeing and finishing equipment segment was $1,668,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $749,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, representing gross margins of approximately 22.7% and 19.6%, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the significant portion of our revenue for the dyeing and finishing equipment segment is from airflow dyeing machinery. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the primary portion of our revenue for the dyeing and finishing equipment segment is from traditional dyeing machinery. Our airflow dyeing machinery uses air flow rather than water which is used in the traditional dyeing process. The technology used in airflow machinery results in reduced input costs, fewer wrinkles, less damage to the textile and reduced emissions. Our unit sale price for airflow dyeing machinery is a little higher than our unit sale price for traditional dyeing machinery. Therefore, our gross margins for the dyeing and finishing equipment segment for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased from the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Depreciation

Depreciation was $1,569,000 and $1,547,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Depreciation for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was included in the following categories (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013		2012
Cost of revenues	$	1,462	$	1,173
Operating expenses		107		374
Total	$	1,569	$	1,547

The increase in depreciation expense for cost of revenues is attributable to the increase in our depreciable production equipment.

32

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we recorded depreciation expense related to ESR production equipment in operating expenses since we did not perform any production for ESR products and we did not use the equipment in the three months ended March 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, the Company committed to a plan to sell the ESR production equipment that was used to produce forged products for the high performance components market and recorded it as equipment held for sale on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The assets held for sale is no longer subject to depreciation as they are not used in operations. Accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2013, we did not record any depreciation expense related to the ESR production equipment. Therefore, depreciation included in operating expenses decreased by approximately $267,000 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $738,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $666,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $72,000 or approximately 10.8%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2013		Three Months Ended March 31, 2012
Professional fees	$	50	$	71
Bad debt (recovery) expense		-		(47	)
Payroll and related benefits		193		168
Travel and entertainment		64		50
Shipping		263		217
Other		168		207
Total	$	738	$	666

● Professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased by $21,000, or 29.6%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in fees incurred and paid for investor relations of approximately $27,000, offset by an increase in other miscellaneous service fees of approximately $6,000.

● For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we did not record any bad debt recovery, while for the three months ended March 31, 2012, we had bad debt recovery of approximately $47,000. Based on our periodic review of accounts receivable balances, we adjusted the allowance for doubtful accounts after considering management’s evaluation of the collectability of individual receivable balances, including the analysis of subsequent collections, the customers’ collection history, and recent economic events.

● Payroll and related benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased by $25,000, or 14.9%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in stock-based compensation of approximately $37,000 which reflected the increase in our average stock price used to value shares issued as compensation, offset by a decrease in compensation of approximately $12,000 in our forged rolled rings and related products segment resulting from decreased salaries incurred and paid to management due to stricter controls on corporate spending.

● Travel and entertainment expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased by $14,000, or 28.0%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2013 is primarily attributable to the increased spending in our travel in order to more efficiently manage our business and increased entertainment expenditure to enhance our visibility.

● Shipping expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased by $46,000, or 21.2%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase in our revenues during the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the first quarter of 2012.

● Other selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased by $39,000, or 18.8% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, which reflected the efforts at reducing non-sales related corporate activities as well as stricter controls on corporate spending.

33

Income from operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, income from operations amounted to $2,285,000, as compared to $842,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $1,443,000 or 171.4% primarily as a result of the factors described above.

Other income (expense)

Other income (expense) includes interest expense, nominal foreign currency transaction gain, warrant modification expense, interest income and other income. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, total other expense amounted to $76,000 as compared to total other expense $309,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of $233,000. The higher level of other expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 reflects the warrant modification expense of approximately $235,000. We had no similar expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $586,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $230,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $356,000, or 154.6%. The increase in income tax expense was attributable to the increase in taxable income generated by our operating entities.

Net income

As a result of the foregoing, our net income was $1,623,000, or $0.56 per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared with $303,000, or $0.14 per share (basic) and $0.12 per share (diluted), for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $1,320,000 or 435.9%.

Foreign currency translation gain

The functional currency of our subsidiaries and variable interest entities operating in the PRC is the Chinese Yuan or Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of our subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for the period) for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations. As a result of these translations, which are a non-cash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of $428,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $452,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This non-cash gain had the effect of increasing our reported comprehensive income.

Comprehensive income

As a result of our foreign currency translation gains, we had comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $2,051,000, compared to $755,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had cash balances of approximately $1,151,000 and $1,446,000, respectively. These funds are located in financial institutions located as follows (dollars in thousands):

Country:	March 31, 2013				December 31, 2012
United States	$	106	9.2	%	$	31	2.1	%

*  Not applicable.

Our working capital increased $437,000 to $7,701,000 at March 31, 2013 from $7,264,000 at December 31, 2012. This increase in working capital is primarily attributable to an increase in restricted cash of approximately $955,000, an increase in notes receivable of approximately $134,000, an increase in inventories, net of reserve for obsolete inventory, of approximately $756,000, an increase in advances to suppliers of approximately $749,000, an increase in prepaid VAT on purchases of approximately $104,000, a decrease in accounts payable of approximately $174,000, a decrease in accrued expenses of approximately $508,000, a decrease in VAT and service taxes payable of approximately $110,000, a decrease in income taxes payable of approximately $188,000, offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $295,000, a decrease in accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, of approximately $609,000 due to the collection made in the first quarter of 2013, an increase in short-term bank loans of approximately $808,000, an increase in bank acceptance notes payable of approximately $955,000, an increase in advances from customers of approximately $560,000.

35

Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $1,697,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $126,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $1,571,000. Because the exchange rate conversion is different for the balance sheet and the statements of cash flows, the changes in assets and liabilities reflected on the statements of cash flows is not necessarily identical with the comparable changes reflected on the balance sheet.

● Net cash flow provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily reflected net income of $1,623,000 adjusted for non-cash items primarily consisting of depreciation of $1,569,000, amortization of land use rights of $24,000, and changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily consisting of a decrease in accounts receivable of $664,000 and an increase in advances from customers of $550,000, offset primarily by an increase in notes receivable of $133,000, an increase in inventories of $724,000, an increase in prepaid value-added taxes on purchase of $101,000, an increase in advances to suppliers of $745,000, a decrease in accounts payable of $204,000, a decrease in accrued expenses of $533,000, a decrease in VAT and service taxes payable of $111,000 and a decrease in income taxes payable of $193,000.

● Net cash flow provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily reflected net income of $303,000 adjusted for non-cash items primarily consisting of depreciation of $1,547,000, warrant modification expense of $235,000, and changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily consisting of a decrease in accounts receivable of $686,000, offset primarily by an increase in inventory of $1,240,000 and a decrease in accounts payable of $641,000.

Net cash flow used in investing activities reflects the purchase of property and equipment of $2,709,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Net cash flow used in investing activities reflects the purchase of property and equipment of $557,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

We finance our working capital requirements with short term bank loans. As a result, our cash from financing activities typically reflects these borrowings and repayments. Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $710,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to net cash flow provided by financing activities $185,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we received proceeds from bank loans of $1,750,000 and proceeds from increase in bank acceptance notes payable of $955,000, offset by the repayment of bank loans of $955,000, repayments of principal on capital lease obligations of $85,000 and the increase in restricted cash of $955,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we received proceeds from bank loans of $949,000, proceeds from decrease in restricted cash of $32,000, offset by the repayment of bank loans of $633,000, repayments of principal on capital lease obligations of $84,000 and decrease in bank acceptance notes payable of $79,000.

Our capital requirements for the next twelve months relate to purchasing machinery for the manufacture of products for the solar industry as well as additional investment in our forged rolled rings division. We also expect to incur modest expenses in maintaining our dyeing business. We believe that our cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months, although we may require additional funds if we seek to expand our business.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Contractual Obligations

We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The following tables summarize our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2013 (dollars in thousands), and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

	Payments Due by Period
Contractual obligations:	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		5+ years
Bank loans (1)	$	3,025	$	3,025	$	-	$	-	$	-
Capital lease obligations (2)		301		255		46		-		-
Total	$	3,326	$	3,280	$	46	$	-	$	-

(1)   Bank loans consisted of short term bank loans. Historically, we have refinanced these bank loans for an additional term of one year and we expect to continue to refinance these loans upon expiration.

(2)   Capital lease obligations include the interest portion, security deposit due and present value of net minimum lease payment.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We produce and sell almost all of our products in China. Thus, most of our revenues and operating results may be impacted by exchange rate fluctuations between RMB and US dollars. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we had unrealized foreign currency translation gain of $428,440, because of the change in the exchange rate.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including Jianhua Wu, our chief executive officer, and Adam Wasserman, our chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2013.

Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.

37

Management conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer. Based on that evaluation,  we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2013.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act. Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”).  As previously reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 and, during our assessment, management identified significant deficiencies related to (i) the U.S. GAAP expertise of our internal accounting staff, (ii) our internal audit functions and (iii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions. Although management believes that these deficiencies do not amount to a material weakness, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective at December 31, 2012.

A major hurdle of our internal control efforts was the segregation of duties and installation of a company-wide Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system which are important parts of a good internal control system. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, due to both our financial performance and working capital requirements, and the lack of local professionals with the necessary experience in implementing the ERP system, we postponed the hiring of professional staff to implement ERP system. We have found that engaging professionals who are based outside of Wuxi is very costly and we have not been able to find qualified personnel in the Wuxi area.

We plan on expanding our ERP system  during 2013 by implementing further ERP modules to manage inventory and to expand existing ERP systems to other areas of our factory.

Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. As a result, we have not been able to take steps to improve our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2013. However, to the extent possible, we are implementing procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals.

A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting.

In light of this significant deficiency, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were fairly stated in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our significant deficiency, our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Organization and Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Cleantech Solutions International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on June 24, 1987 under the name of Malex, Inc. On December 18, 2007, the Company’s corporate name was changed to China Wind Systems, Inc., and on June 13, 2011, the Company’s corporate name was changed to Cleantech Solutions International, Inc. On August 7, 2012, the Company was converted into a Nevada corporation.

Through its affiliated companies and subsidiaries, the Company manufactures and sells forged products and fabricated products to a range of clean technology customers including high precision forged rolled rings and related products for the wind power industry and other industries and equipment to the solar industry. The Company also makes textile dyeing and finishing machines. The Company is the sole owner of Fulland Limited (“Fulland”), a Cayman Island limited liability company, which was organized on May 9, 2007. Fulland owns 100% of the capital stock of Green Power Environment Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“Green Power”) and Wuxi Fulland Wind Energy Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Fulland Wind Energy”), which are wholly foreign-owned enterprises (“WFOE”) organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). Green Power is a party to a series of contractual arrangements, as fully described below, dated October 12, 2007 with Wuxi Huayang Electrical Power Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Electrical”) and Wuxi Huayang Dyeing Machinery Co., Ltd. (“Dyeing”), both of which are limited liability companies organized under the laws of, and based in, the PRC. Electrical and Dyeing are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Huayang Companies.”

Fulland was organized by the owners of the Huayang Companies as a special purpose vehicle for purposes of raising capital, in accordance with requirements of the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”). On May 31, 2007, SAFE issued an official notice known as Hui Zong Fa [2007] No. 106 (“Circular 106”), which requires the owners of any Chinese company to obtain SAFE’s approval before establishing any offshore holding company structure for foreign financing as well as subsequent acquisition matters in China. Accordingly, the owners of the Huayang Companies, Mr. Jianhua Wu and Ms. Lihua Tang, submitted their application to SAFE in early September 2007. On October 11, 2007, SAFE approved their application, permitting these Chinese citizens to establish Fulland as a special purpose vehicle for any foreign ownership and capital raising activities by the Huayang Companies.

Electrical was formed on May 21, 2004, and Fulland Wind Energy was formed on August 27, 2008. Beginning in April 2007, Electrical began to produce large-scaled forged rolled rings that are up to three meters in diameter for the wind-power and other industries. In 2009, the Company began to produce and sell forged products through Fulland Wind Energy. Through Fulland Wind Energy, the Company manufactures and machines all forged products, including wind products such as shafts, rolled rings, gear rims, gearboxes, bearings and other components and finished products and assemblies for the wind power industry, and solar products, including large-scale equipment used in the manufacturing process for the solar industry. The Company refers to this segment of its business as the forged rolled rings and related components division.

Dyeing, which was formed on August 17, 1995, produces and sells a variety of high and low temperature dyeing and finishing machinery for the textile industry. The Company refers to this segment as the dyeing division.

Basis of presentation; management’s responsibility for preparation of financial statements

Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its consolidated financial position and the results of its operations for the interim period presented.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for Cleantech Solutions International, Inc., its subsidiaries and variable interest entities, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the “U.S.”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.

The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Fulland, Green Power and Fulland Wind Energy, as well as the financial statements of Huayang Companies, Dyeing and Electric. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, the Huayang Companies are considered variable interest entities (“VIE”), and the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company’s relationships with the Huayang Companies and their shareholders are governed by a series of contractual arrangements between Green Power, the Company’s wholly foreign-owned enterprise in the PRC, and each of the Huayang Companies, which are the operating companies of the Company in the PRC. Under PRC laws, each of Green Power, Dyeing and Electrical is an independent legal entity and none of them is exposed to liabilities incurred by the other parties. The contractual arrangements constitute valid and binding obligations of the parties of such agreements. Each of the contractual arrangements and the rights and obligations of the parties thereto are enforceable and valid in accordance with the laws of the PRC. On October 12, 2007, the Company entered into the following contractual arrangements with each of Dyeing and Electrical:

Consulting Services Agreement. Pursuant to the exclusive consulting services agreements between Green Power and the Huayang Companies, Green Power has the exclusive right to provide to the Huayang Companies general business operation services, including advice and strategic planning, as well as consulting services related to the technological research and development of dyeing and finishing machines, electrical equipment and related products (the “ Services ”). Under this agreement, Green Power owns the intellectual property rights developed or discovered through research and development, in the course of providing the Services, or derived from the provision of the Services. The Huayang Companies shall pay a quarterly consulting service fees in Renminbi (“RMB”) to Fulland that is equal to all of the Huayang Companies’ profits for such quarter.

Operating Agreement. Pursuant to the operating agreement among Green Power, the Huayang Companies and all shareholders of the Huayang Companies, Green Power provides guidance and instructions on the Huayang Companies’ daily operations, financial management and employment issues. The Huayang Companies shareholders must designate the candidates recommended by Green Power as their representatives on the boards of directors of each of the Huayang Companies. Green Power has the right to appoint senior executives of the Huayang Companies. In addition, Green Power agrees to guarantee the Huayang Companies’ performance under any agreements or arrangements relating to the Huayang Companies’ business arrangements with any third party. The Huayang Companies, in return, agree to pledge their accounts receivable and all of their assets to Green Power. Moreover, each of the Huayang Companies agrees that, without the prior consent of Green Power, it will not engage in any transactions that could materially affect its assets, liabilities, rights or operations, including, without limitation, incurrence or assumption of any indebtedness, sale or purchase of any assets or rights, incurrence of any encumbrance on any of their assets or intellectual property rights in favor of a third party or transfer of any agreements relating to their business operation to any third party. The term of this agreement, as amended on November 1, 2008, is 20 years from October 12, 2007 and may be extended only upon Green Power’s written confirmation prior to the expiration of the this agreement, with the extended term to be mutually agreed upon by the parties.

Equity Pledge Agreement. Under the equity pledge agreement between the Huayang Companies’ shareholders and Green Power, the Huayang Companies’ shareholders pledged all of their equity interests in the Huayang Companies to Green Power to guarantee the Huayang Companies’ performance of their respective obligations under the consulting services agreement. If the Huayang Companies or the Huayang Companies’ shareholders breach their respective contractual obligations, Green Power, as pledgee, will be entitled to certain rights, including the right to sell the pledged equity interests. The Huayang Companies’ shareholders also agreed that, upon occurrence of any event of default, Green Power shall be granted an exclusive, irrevocable power of attorney to take actions in the place and stead of the Huayang Companies’ shareholders to carry out the security provisions of the equity pledge agreement and take any action and execute any instrument that Green Power may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of the equity pledge agreement. The Huayang Companies’ shareholders agreed not to dispose of the pledged equity interests or take any actions that would prejudice Green Power’s interest. The equity pledge agreement will expire two years after the Huayang Companies’ obligations under the consulting services agreements have been fulfilled.

Option Agreement.Under the option agreement between the Huayang Companies’ shareholders and Green Power, the Huayang Companies’ shareholders irrevocably granted Green Power or its designated person an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of the equity interests in the Huayang Companies for the cost of the initial contributions to the registered capital or the minimum amount of consideration permitted by applicable PRC law. Green Power or its designated person has sole discretion to decide when to exercise the option, whether in part or in full. The term of this agreement, as amended on November 1, 2008, is 20 years from October 12, 2007 and may be extended prior to its expiration by written agreement of the parties.

Pursuant to ASC Topic 810 and related subtopics related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, the accounts of the Huayang Companies are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements. As VIEs, the Huayang Companies’ sales are included in the Company’s total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with the Company’s, and the Company’s net income includes all of the Huayang Companies net income. The Company does not have any non-controlling interest and, accordingly, did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income of the VIEs that is attributable to the Company. Because of the contractual arrangements, the Company has a pecuniary interest in the Huayang Companies that requires consolidation of the Company’s and the Huayang Companies’ financial statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the allowance for obsolete inventory, the useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets and valuation of deferred tax assets, accruals for taxes due, and the value of stock-based compensation and warrant modification expense.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions mainly in the PRC and the U.S. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, balances in banks in the PRC of $1,045,269 and $1,414,674, respectively, are uninsured.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company adopted the guidance of ASC Topic 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The following table presents information about equipment held for sale measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2013:

	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Balance at March 31, 2013		Gains (Losses)
Equipment held for sale	$	-	$	-	$	7,157,652	$	7,157,652	$	-

The following table presents information about equipment held for sale measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2012:

	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Balance at December 31, 2012		Loss
Equipment held for sale	$	-	$	-	$	7,118,555	$	7,118,555	$	2,206,253

The Company conducted an impairment assessment on the equipment held for sale based on the guidelines established in FASB ASC Topic 360 to determine the estimated fair market value of the equipment as of December 31, 2012. Upon completion of its 2012 impairment analysis, the Company determined that the carrying value exceeded the fair market value on equipment which is held for sale. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $2,206,253 at December 31, 2012. The difference in the value of equipment held for sale at March 31, 2013 from December 31, 2012 reflects changes in the currency exchange ratio.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, notes receivable, accounts receivable, inventories, advances to suppliers, prepaid VAT on purchases, equipment held for sale, prepaid expenses and other, short-term bank loans, bank acceptance notes payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, capital lease obligations, advances from customers, VAT and service taxes payable and income taxes payable approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

ASC Topic 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.

Concentrations of credit risk

The Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC, and none of these deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts. A significant portion of the Company’s sales are credit sales which are primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in these areas; however, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivables is limited due to generally short payment terms. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk.

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s cash balances by geographic area were as follows:

	March 31, 2013				December 31, 2012
Country:
United States	$	106,149	9.2	%	$	31,054	2.1	%
China		1,045,269	90.8	%		1,414,674	97.9	%
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	1,151,418	100.0	%	$	1,445,728	100.0	%

Restricted cash

Restricted cash consists of cash deposits held by a bank to secure bank acceptance notes payable.

Notes receivable

Notes receivable represents trade accounts receivable due from customers where the customers’ bank has guaranteed the payment of the receivable. This amount is non-interest bearing and is normally paid within six months. Historically, the Company has experienced no losses on notes receivable. The Company’s notes receivable totaled $221,843 and $88,029 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, a customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has established, based on a review of its outstanding balances, an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amounts of $2,606,294 and $2,592,057, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work in process and finished goods related to the Company’s products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the weighted average method. An allowance is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record reserves for the difference between the cost and the market value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates. The Company recorded an inventory reserve of $136,727 and $135,980 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Advances to suppliers

Advances to suppliers represent the cash paid in advance for the purchase of raw material from suppliers. The advance payments are intended to ensure preferential pricing and delivery. The amounts advanced under such arrangements totaled $1,341,777 and $593,104 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

Included in property and equipment is construction-in-progress which consisted of factory improvements and machinery pending installation and includes the costs of construction, machinery and equipment, and any interest charges arising from borrowings used to finance these assets during the period of construction or installation of the assets. No provision for depreciation is made on construction-in-progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and ready for their intended use.

Equipment held for sale

Long-lived assets are classified as held for sale when certain criteria are met. These criteria include: management’s commitment to a plan to sell the assets; the availability of the assets for immediate sale in their present condition; an active program to locate buyers and other actions to sell the assets has been initiated; the sale of the assets is probable and their transfer is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; the assets are being marketed at reasonable prices in relation to their fair value; and it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the plan to sell the assets. We measure long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less associated costs to sell. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company reflected certain electro-slag re-melted (“ESR”) equipment that was used in 2010 and 2011 to produce forged products for the high performance components market as equipment held for sale on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not record any impairment charge for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Advances from customers

Advances from customers at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 amounted to $2,412,457 and $1,851,987, respectively, and consist of prepayments from customers for merchandise that had not yet been shipped. The Company will recognize the deposits as revenue as customers take delivery of the goods and title to the assets is transferred to customers in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy.

Revenue recognition

Pursuant to the guidance of ASC Topic 605 and ASC Topic 360, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of dyeing and finishing equipment, forged rolled rings and other components upon shipment and transfer of title. The other elements may include installation and, generally, a one-year warranty. Equipment installation revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete installation and is recognized when the labor has been completed and the equipment has been accepted by the customer, which is generally within a couple days of the delivery of the equipment. Warranty revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete a service and generally is recognized over the contract period. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, amounts allocated to installation and warranty revenues were minimal. Based on historical experience, warranty service calls and any related labor costs have been minimal. All other product sales with customer specific acceptance provisions, including the forged rolled rings, are recognized upon customer acceptance and the delivery of the parts or service. Revenues related to spare part sales are recognized upon shipment or delivery based on the trade terms.

Income taxes

The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC and the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method prescribed by ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company applied the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in our financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company’s liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company’s results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no uncertain tax positions, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of ASC Topic 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. The awards to consultants and other third-parties are then revalued, or the total compensation is recalculated, based on the then current fair value, at each subsequent reporting date.

Shipping costs

Shipping costs are included in selling expenses and totaled $263,303 and $216,847 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Employee benefits

The Company’s operations and employees are all located in the PRC. The Company makes mandatory contributions to the PRC government’s health, retirement benefit and unemployment funds in accordance with the relevant Chinese social security laws. The costs of these payments are charged to the same accounts as the related salary costs in the same period as the related salary costs. Employee benefit costs totaled $48,735 and $44,670 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Advertising

Advertising is expensed as incurred and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and totaled $0 and $3,244 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Research and development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company did not incur any research and development expense in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Foreign currency translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the parent company is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s operating subsidiaries is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). For the subsidiaries and affiliates, whose functional currencies are the RMB, results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. As a result, amounts relating to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows may not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. The cumulative translation adjustment and effect of exchange rate changes on cash for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $7,416 and $5,135, respectively. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date with any transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

All of the Company’s revenue transactions are transacted in the functional currency of the operating subsidiaries and affiliates. Other than for the purchase of equipment from non-Chinese suppliers, the Company does not enter into any material transaction in foreign currencies. Transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.

Asset and liability accounts at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were translated at 6.2816 RMB to $1.00 and at 6.31610 RMB to $1.00, respectively, which were the exchange rates on the balance sheet dates. Equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to the statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were 6.28582 RMB and 6.32012 RMB to $1.00, respectively. Cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets.

Reverse stock split

The Company effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split on March 6, 2012. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.

Income per share of common stock

ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common stock consist of common stock issuable upon the conversion of series A convertible preferred stock (using the if-converted method) and common stock purchase warrants (using the treasury stock method).

The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income per share:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013		2012
Net income available to common stockholders for basic and diluted net income per share of common stock	$	1,622,600	$	302,795

Weighted average common stock outstanding– diluted		2,894,586		2,523,936
Net income per common share  - basic	$	0.56	$	0.14
Net income per common share  - diluted	$	0.56	$	0.12

The Company did not have any common stock equivalents at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Related parties

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. All transactions are recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged.

Accumulated other comprehensive income

Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. For the Company, comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 included net income and unrealized gains from foreign currency translation adjustments.

Recent accounting pronouncement

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05 “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.” ASU 2013-05 addresses the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment when a parent either sells part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. For public entities, the ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods, within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made in prior year same period’s financial statements to conform with the current period’s financial presentation.

EQUIPMENT HELD FOR SALE

NOTE 6 – EQUIPMENT HELD FOR SALE

The Company measures long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less associated costs to sell these assets. The assets held for sale is no longer subject to depreciation as they are not used in operations. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company committed to a plan to sell certain ESR equipment that was used to produce forged products for the high performance components market as equipment held for sale on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company evaluated equipment for impairment at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The Company compared the estimated fair values of the equipment to its carrying value with impairment indicators and recorded an impairment charge for the excess of carrying value over fair value. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not incur any impairment charge on ESR equipment. Although the Company is actively seeking and negotiating with potential buyers, the Company can give no assurances that the sale process will be successful and, if it were successful, there are no assurances as to the amount or timing of any potential proceeds.

RESTRICTED NET ASSETS

NOTE 14 – RESTRICTED NET ASSETS

Regulations in the PRC permit payments of dividends by the Company’s PRC VIEs only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Subject to certain cumulative limit, a statutory reserve fund requires annual appropriations of at least 10% of after-tax profit, if any, of the relevant PRC VIE’s and subsidiary. The statutory reserve funds are not distributable as cash dividends. As a result of these PRC laws and regulations, the Company’s PRC VIE’s and its subsidiary are restricted in their abilities to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company. Foreign exchange and other regulations in PRC may further restrict the Company’s PRC VIEs and its subsidiary from transferring funds to the Company in the form of loans and/or advances.

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, substantially all of the Company’s net assets are attributable to the PRC VIE’s and its subsidiary located in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s restricted net assets at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were approximately $79,734,000 and $77,514,000, respectively.

Income Taxes [Abstract]

INCOME TAXES

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the accounting standards that require the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carry forwards. Additionally, the accounting standards require the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Realization of deferred tax assets, including those related to the U.S. net operating loss carry forwards and to the temporary differences related to the deduction of impairment losses in PRC for income tax purposes as compared to financial statement purposes, are dependent upon future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or are utilized.

Net deferred tax asset related to the U.S. net operating loss carry forward has been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC and the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Effective in January 2008, under the Income Tax Laws of PRC, Chinese companies are generally subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. The Company’s VIEs (Dyeing and Electric) and the Company’s subsidiary, Fulland Wind Energy, are subject to these statutory rates. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Fulland Limited was incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, this entity is not subject to income taxes.

The tax effects of temporary differences under the Income Tax Law of the PRC that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

	March 31, 2013			December 31,  2012
Deferred tax asset:
Net U.S. operating loss carry forward	$	1,660,161		$	1,614,245
Loss on impairment of equipment		554,921			551,890
Total gross deferred tax asset		2,215,082			2,166,135
Less: valuation allowance		(1,660,161	)		(1,614,245	)
Net deferred tax asset	$	554,921		$	551,890

The valuation allowance at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $1,660,161 and $1,614,245, respectively, related to the U.S. net operating loss carry forward. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the valuation allowance was increased by approximately $46,000.

In assessing the ability to realize the deferred tax asset from the loss on impairment of equipment held for sale in PRC, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will be realized. The Company concluded that the temporary difference on the impairment loss of equipment held for sale in PRC will be deductible or utilized on the future PRC taxable income and a deferred tax asset of $554,921 and $551,890 has been set up at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

STATUTORY RESERVES

NOTE 11 – STATUTORY RESERVES

The Company is required to make appropriations to reserve funds, comprising the statutory surplus reserve, statutory public welfare fund and discretionary surplus reserve, based on after-tax net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the PRC (the “PRC GAAP”). Appropriation to the statutory surplus reserve should be at least 10% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with the PRC GAAP until the reserve is equal to 50% of the entities’ registered capital or members’ equity. Appropriations to the statutory public welfare fund are at a minimum of 5% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP. Commencing on January 1, 2006, the new PRC regulations waived the requirement for appropriating retained earnings to a welfare fund. As of December 31, 2012, the Company appropriated the required maximum 50% of its registered capital to statutory reserves for Dyeing and Electric, accordingly, no additional statutory reserve is required at March 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had not appropriated the required maximum 50% of its registered capital to statutory reserve for Fulland Wind Energy.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, statutory reserve activity was as follows:

Organization and Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of presentation; management's responsibility for preparation of financial statements

Basis of presentation; management’s responsibility for preparation of financial statements

Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its consolidated financial position and the results of its operations for the interim period presented.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for Cleantech Solutions International, Inc., its subsidiaries and variable interest entities, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the “U.S.”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.

The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Fulland, Green Power and Fulland Wind Energy, as well as the financial statements of Huayang Companies, Dyeing and Electric. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, the Huayang Companies are considered variable interest entities (“VIE”), and the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company’s relationships with the Huayang Companies and their shareholders are governed by a series of contractual arrangements between Green Power, the Company’s wholly foreign-owned enterprise in the PRC, and each of the Huayang Companies, which are the operating companies of the Company in the PRC. Under PRC laws, each of Green Power, Dyeing and Electrical is an independent legal entity and none of them is exposed to liabilities incurred by the other parties. The contractual arrangements constitute valid and binding obligations of the parties of such agreements. Each of the contractual arrangements and the rights and obligations of the parties thereto are enforceable and valid in accordance with the laws of the PRC. On October 12, 2007, the Company entered into the following contractual arrangements with each of Dyeing and Electrical:

Consulting Services Agreement. Pursuant to the exclusive consulting services agreements between Green Power and the Huayang Companies, Green Power has the exclusive right to provide to the Huayang Companies general business operation services, including advice and strategic planning, as well as consulting services related to the technological research and development of dyeing and finishing machines, electrical equipment and related products (the “ Services ”). Under this agreement, Green Power owns the intellectual property rights developed or discovered through research and development, in the course of providing the Services, or derived from the provision of the Services. The Huayang Companies shall pay a quarterly consulting service fees in Renminbi (“RMB”) to Fulland that is equal to all of the Huayang Companies’ profits for such quarter.

Operating Agreement. Pursuant to the operating agreement among Green Power, the Huayang Companies and all shareholders of the Huayang Companies, Green Power provides guidance and instructions on the Huayang Companies’ daily operations, financial management and employment issues. The Huayang Companies shareholders must designate the candidates recommended by Green Power as their representatives on the boards of directors of each of the Huayang Companies. Green Power has the right to appoint senior executives of the Huayang Companies. In addition, Green Power agrees to guarantee the Huayang Companies’ performance under any agreements or arrangements relating to the Huayang Companies’ business arrangements with any third party. The Huayang Companies, in return, agree to pledge their accounts receivable and all of their assets to Green Power. Moreover, each of the Huayang Companies agrees that, without the prior consent of Green Power, it will not engage in any transactions that could materially affect its assets, liabilities, rights or operations, including, without limitation, incurrence or assumption of any indebtedness, sale or purchase of any assets or rights, incurrence of any encumbrance on any of their assets or intellectual property rights in favor of a third party or transfer of any agreements relating to their business operation to any third party. The term of this agreement, as amended on November 1, 2008, is 20 years from October 12, 2007 and may be extended only upon Green Power’s written confirmation prior to the expiration of the this agreement, with the extended term to be mutually agreed upon by the parties.

Equity Pledge Agreement. Under the equity pledge agreement between the Huayang Companies’ shareholders and Green Power, the Huayang Companies’ shareholders pledged all of their equity interests in the Huayang Companies to Green Power to guarantee the Huayang Companies’ performance of their respective obligations under the consulting services agreement. If the Huayang Companies or the Huayang Companies’ shareholders breach their respective contractual obligations, Green Power, as pledgee, will be entitled to certain rights, including the right to sell the pledged equity interests. The Huayang Companies’ shareholders also agreed that, upon occurrence of any event of default, Green Power shall be granted an exclusive, irrevocable power of attorney to take actions in the place and stead of the Huayang Companies’ shareholders to carry out the security provisions of the equity pledge agreement and take any action and execute any instrument that Green Power may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of the equity pledge agreement. The Huayang Companies’ shareholders agreed not to dispose of the pledged equity interests or take any actions that would prejudice Green Power’s interest. The equity pledge agreement will expire two years after the Huayang Companies’ obligations under the consulting services agreements have been fulfilled.

Option Agreement.Under the option agreement between the Huayang Companies’ shareholders and Green Power, the Huayang Companies’ shareholders irrevocably granted Green Power or its designated person an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of the equity interests in the Huayang Companies for the cost of the initial contributions to the registered capital or the minimum amount of consideration permitted by applicable PRC law. Green Power or its designated person has sole discretion to decide when to exercise the option, whether in part or in full. The term of this agreement, as amended on November 1, 2008, is 20 years from October 12, 2007 and may be extended prior to its expiration by written agreement of the parties.

Pursuant to ASC Topic 810 and related subtopics related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, the accounts of the Huayang Companies are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements. As VIEs, the Huayang Companies’ sales are included in the Company’s total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with the Company’s, and the Company’s net income includes all of the Huayang Companies net income. The Company does not have any non-controlling interest and, accordingly, did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income of the VIEs that is attributable to the Company. Because of the contractual arrangements, the Company has a pecuniary interest in the Huayang Companies that requires consolidation of the Company’s and the Huayang Companies’ financial statements.

Use of Estimates

Use of estimates

The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the allowance for obsolete inventory, the useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets and valuation of deferred tax assets, accruals for taxes due, and the value of stock-based compensation and warrant modification expense.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions mainly in the PRC and the U.S. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, balances in banks in the PRC of $1,045,269 and $1,414,674, respectively, are uninsured.

Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company adopted the guidance of ASC Topic 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The following table presents information about equipment held for sale measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2013:

	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Balance at March 31, 2013		Gains (Losses)
Equipment held for sale	$	-	$	-	$	7,157,652	$	7,157,652	$	-

The following table presents information about equipment held for sale measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2012:

	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Balance at December 31, 2012		Loss
Equipment held for sale	$	-	$	-	$	7,118,555	$	7,118,555	$	2,206,253

The Company conducted an impairment assessment on the equipment held for sale based on the guidelines established in FASB ASC Topic 360 to determine the estimated fair market value of the equipment as of December 31, 2012. Upon completion of its 2012 impairment analysis, the Company determined that the carrying value exceeded the fair market value on equipment which is held for sale. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $2,206,253 at December 31, 2012. The difference in the value of equipment held for sale at March 31, 2013 from December 31, 2012 reflects changes in the currency exchange ratio.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, notes receivable, accounts receivable, inventories, advances to suppliers, prepaid VAT on purchases, equipment held for sale, prepaid expenses and other, short-term bank loans, bank acceptance notes payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, capital lease obligations, advances from customers, VAT and service taxes payable and income taxes payable approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

ASC Topic 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.

Concentrations of credit risk

Concentrations of credit risk

The Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC, and none of these deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts. A significant portion of the Company’s sales are credit sales which are primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in these areas; however, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivables is limited due to generally short payment terms. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk.

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s cash balances by geographic area were as follows:

	March 31, 2013				December 31, 2012
Country:
United States	$	106,149	9.2	%	$	31,054	2.1	%
China		1,045,269	90.8	%		1,414,674	97.9	%
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	1,151,418	100.0	%	$	1,445,728	100.0	%

Restricted cash

Restricted cash

Restricted cash consists of cash deposits held by a bank to secure bank acceptance notes payable.

Notes receivable

Notes receivable

Notes receivable represents trade accounts receivable due from customers where the customers’ bank has guaranteed the payment of the receivable. This amount is non-interest bearing and is normally paid within six months. Historically, the Company has experienced no losses on notes receivable. The Company’s notes receivable totaled $221,843 and $88,029 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, a customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has established, based on a review of its outstanding balances, an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amounts of $2,606,294 and $2,592,057, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories

Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work in process and finished goods related to the Company’s products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the weighted average method. An allowance is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record reserves for the difference between the cost and the market value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates. The Company recorded an inventory reserve of $136,727 and $135,980 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Advances to suppliers

Advances to suppliers

Advances to suppliers represent the cash paid in advance for the purchase of raw material from suppliers. The advance payments are intended to ensure preferential pricing and delivery. The amounts advanced under such arrangements totaled $1,341,777 and $593,104 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

Included in property and equipment is construction-in-progress which consisted of factory improvements and machinery pending installation and includes the costs of construction, machinery and equipment, and any interest charges arising from borrowings used to finance these assets during the period of construction or installation of the assets. No provision for depreciation is made on construction-in-progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and ready for their intended use.

Equipment held for sale

Equipment held for sale

Long-lived assets are classified as held for sale when certain criteria are met. These criteria include: management’s commitment to a plan to sell the assets; the availability of the assets for immediate sale in their present condition; an active program to locate buyers and other actions to sell the assets has been initiated; the sale of the assets is probable and their transfer is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; the assets are being marketed at reasonable prices in relation to their fair value; and it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the plan to sell the assets. We measure long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less associated costs to sell. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company reflected certain electro-slag re-melted (“ESR”) equipment that was used in 2010 and 2011 to produce forged products for the high performance components market as equipment held for sale on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not record any impairment charge for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Advances from customers

Advances from customers

Advances from customers at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 amounted to $2,412,457 and $1,851,987, respectively, and consist of prepayments from customers for merchandise that had not yet been shipped. The Company will recognize the deposits as revenue as customers take delivery of the goods and title to the assets is transferred to customers in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy.

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition

Pursuant to the guidance of ASC Topic 605 and ASC Topic 360, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of dyeing and finishing equipment, forged rolled rings and other components upon shipment and transfer of title. The other elements may include installation and, generally, a one-year warranty. Equipment installation revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete installation and is recognized when the labor has been completed and the equipment has been accepted by the customer, which is generally within a couple days of the delivery of the equipment. Warranty revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete a service and generally is recognized over the contract period. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, amounts allocated to installation and warranty revenues were minimal. Based on historical experience, warranty service calls and any related labor costs have been minimal. All other product sales with customer specific acceptance provisions, including the forged rolled rings, are recognized upon customer acceptance and the delivery of the parts or service. Revenues related to spare part sales are recognized upon shipment or delivery based on the trade terms.

Income taxes

Income taxes

The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC and the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method prescribed by ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company applied the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in our financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company’s liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company’s results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no uncertain tax positions, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of ASC Topic 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. The awards to consultants and other third-parties are then revalued, or the total compensation is recalculated, based on the then current fair value, at each subsequent reporting date.

Shipping costs

Shipping costs

Shipping costs are included in selling expenses and totaled $263,303 and $216,847 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Employee benefits

Employee benefits

The Company’s operations and employees are all located in the PRC. The Company makes mandatory contributions to the PRC government’s health, retirement benefit and unemployment funds in accordance with the relevant Chinese social security laws. The costs of these payments are charged to the same accounts as the related salary costs in the same period as the related salary costs. Employee benefit costs totaled $48,735 and $44,670 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Advertising

Advertising

Advertising is expensed as incurred and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and totaled $0 and $3,244 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Research and development

Research and development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company did not incur any research and development expense in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Foreign currency translation

Foreign currency translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the parent company is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s operating subsidiaries is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). For the subsidiaries and affiliates, whose functional currencies are the RMB, results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. As a result, amounts relating to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows may not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. The cumulative translation adjustment and effect of exchange rate changes on cash for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $7,416 and $5,135, respectively. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date with any transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

All of the Company’s revenue transactions are transacted in the functional currency of the operating subsidiaries and affiliates. Other than for the purchase of equipment from non-Chinese suppliers, the Company does not enter into any material transaction in foreign currencies. Transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.

Asset and liability accounts at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were translated at 6.2816 RMB to $1.00 and at 6.31610 RMB to $1.00, respectively, which were the exchange rates on the balance sheet dates. Equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to the statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were 6.28582 RMB and 6.32012 RMB to $1.00, respectively. Cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets.

Reverse stock split

Reverse stock split

The Company effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split on March 6, 2012. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.

Income per share of common stock

Income per share of common stock

ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common stock consist of common stock issuable upon the conversion of series A convertible preferred stock (using the if-converted method) and common stock purchase warrants (using the treasury stock method).

The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income per share:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013		2012
Net income available to common stockholders for basic and diluted net income per share of common stock	$	1,622,600	$	302,795
Weighted average common stock outstanding – basic		2,894,586		2,167,523
Effect of dilutive securities:
Series A convertible preferred stock		-		355,079
Warrants		-		1,334
Weighted average common stock outstanding– diluted		2,894,586		2,523,936
Net income per common share  - basic	$	0.56	$	0.14
Net income per common share  - diluted	$	0.56	$	0.12

The Company did not have any common stock equivalents at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Related parties

Related parties

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. All transactions are recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged.

Accumulated other comprehensive income

Accumulated other comprehensive income

Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. For the Company, comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 included net income and unrealized gains from foreign currency translation adjustments.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncement

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05 “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.” ASU 2013-05 addresses the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment when a parent either sells part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. For public entities, the ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods, within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
