ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
 
 Shengkai Innovations, Inc. (the “SKII”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on December 8, 2004. Prior to June 9, 2008 the company has only nominal operations and assets. On October 23, 2008, the SKII changed its name from Southern Sauce Company, Inc. to Shengkai Innovations, Inc.
 
 On June 9, 2008, the SKII executed a reverse-merger with Shen Kun International Limited (“Shen Kun”) by an exchange of shares whereby the SKII issued 20,550,000 common shares at $0.001 par value in exchange for all Shen Kun shares. Immediately after the closing of the reverse-merger, we had a total of 22,112,500 shares of common stock outstanding, with the Shen Kun shareholders (and their assignees) owning approximately 92.9% of our outstanding common stock on a non-diluted basis. Shen Kun became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
 
 The exchange transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations” (formerly included under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations). For financial reporting purposes, this transaction is classified as a recapitalization of the SKII and Shen Kun. The accompanying consolidated financial statements were retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the recapitalization of the financial statements of the SKII and the historical financial statements of Shen Kun. The 1,562,500 shares of Shengkai Innovations, Inc. outstanding prior to this stock exchange transaction were accounted for at the net book value at the time of the transaction, which was a deficit of $62,206. The consolidated statements of operations include the results of operations of Tianjin Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Co., Ltd and Shengkai (Tianjin) Limited for the periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
 Shen Kun formed Sheng Kai (Tianjin) Ceramic Valves Co., Ltd., which was renamed to Shengkai (Tianjin) Limited in April 2010 (“SK” or “WFOE”), which entered into a series of agreements with Tianjin Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Co., Ltd (“Shengkai”) including but not limited to consigned management, technology service, loan, exclusive purchase option, equity pledge, etc. The agreements were entered on May 30, 2008. As a result of entering the abovementioned agreements, WFOE deem to control Shengkai as a Variable Interest Entity as required by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10 (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised March 2003) Consolidated of Variable Interest Entities, and Interpretation of ARB No. 51).
 
 Shengkai (Tianjin) Trading Ltd., which is wholly-owned by WFOE, was organized as a corporation under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on June 25, 2010 with a total registered capital of RMB500,000. Shengkai (Tianjin) Trading Ltd. is primarily engaged in the international trading of non-valve products to better serve the Company’s international customers. It has not started operations as of March 31, 2011.
 
 In connection with the reverse merger transaction, on June 11, 2008 the SKII sold 5,915,526 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of $15,000,000, at a price of $2.5357 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Southern Sauce Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), convertible into one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one Series A Warrant to purchase Common Stock equal to 120% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (“Warrant”). Additionally, on July 18, 2008, the SKII sold 1,971,842 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,000,000, at a price of $2.5357 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Preferred Share, convertible into one share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and one Warrant to purchase Common Stock equal to 120% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
  (a)
Basis of presentation and method of accounting
  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Shengkai innovations, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. However, the information included in these interim financial statements reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2010 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
 
 The Company maintains its general ledger and journals with the accrual method accounting for financial reporting purposes. The financial statements and notes are representations of management.  Accounting policies adopted by the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the presentation of financial statements.
  (b)
Principles of consolidation
  The Company’s consolidated financial statements are compiled in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements include 100% of assets, liabilities, and net income or loss of those wholly-owned subsidiaries.
 
 The Company includes four subsidiaries since its reverse-merger on June 9, 2008. The detailed identities of the consolidating subsidiaries would have been as follows:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 (c)
Use of estimates
 
 The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
 
 (d)
Economic and political risks
 
 The Company’s operations are conducted 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 economy.
 
 The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
 
 (e)
Restricted Cash
 
 Restricted cash represents amounts held by a bank as security for bank acceptance notes and therefore is not available for the Company’s use. The restricted cash is expected to be released within the next twelve months.
 
 (f)
Accounts receivable
 
 Accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value.  An allowance for doubtful accounts will be recorded in the period when loss is probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating troubled collection, historical experience, accounts aging and other factors. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection.  If accounts receivable are to be provided for, or written off, they would be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within operating expense. The Company sells its products to both agents/distributors and end-users. Normally the Company requires payment on delivery for agents/distributors. Usual credit term to end-user customers is about 1 to 3 months after receipt and acceptance of goods by customers. 5%-10% of total contract price may be retained from payment until the warranty (usually up to 1.5 years) expires. The Company did not provide allowance for doubtful accounts at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as per the management's judgment based on their best knowledge about the collectability of current balance, the creditability of those customers and satisfactory track record of collection experience.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
 (g)
Plant and equipment
 
 Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:
 
 Buildings
20 – 40 yearsMachinery and equipment
3 – 20 yearsOffice equipment
3 – 10 yearsMotor vehicles
10 years
 
 The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
 
 (h)
Construction in progress
 
 Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction incurred. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until it is completed and ready for intended use.
 
 (i)
Land use rights
 
 According to PRC laws, the government owns all the land in the PRC. Companies or individuals are authorized to possess and use the land only through land use rights granted by the PRC government. Land use rights are being amortized using the straight-line method over the lease term of 50 years commencing from the date of acquisition.
 
 (j)
Other intangible assets
 
 Other intangible assets include patent rights and software costs which are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization expense is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. Patent rights are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of rights of 10 years commencing from the date of acquisition of equitable interest.  Software costs are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period from 3 to 10 years.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
 (k)
Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets
 
 The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances warrant such a review, pursuant to the guidelines established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144 (now known as "ASC 360"). The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost to dispose.
 
 During the reporting periods, there was no impairment loss.
 
 (l)
Inventories
 
 Inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value.  Cost is determined by the weighted average basis and includes all expenditures incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale and putting them in a saleable condition.  In case of manufacturing inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any applicable selling expenses.The Company has no reserve for inventories for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
 (m)
Cash and cash equivalents
 
 Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and bank deposits with original maturities of nine months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use. The Company maintains bank accounts in the U.S.A., mainland China and Hong Kong.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
 (n)
Fair value of financial instruments
 
 FASB ASC 820 (formerly SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements) establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market
 
 These tiers include:
 
 •
Level 1—defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
 
 •
Level 2—defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
 
 •
Level 3—defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
 The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, other receivables, advances to suppliers, accounts payable, notes payable, other payables and accrued expenses and advances from customers, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
 
 Accounting guidance on fair value measurement and disclosures permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. It was effective for our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009. Upon its adoption and at this time, we do not intend to reflect any of our current financial instruments at fair value (except that we are required to carry our derivative financial instruments at fair value). However, we will consider the appropriateness of recognizing financial instruments at fair value on a case by case basis in future periods.
 
 The summary of fair values of financial instruments as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010 are as follows:

  (o)
Revenue recognition
 
 Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold and is recognized upon the delivery of goods to customers. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
 
 - Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
 - Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
 - The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and
 - Collection is reasonably assured.
 
 There were no sales returns and allowances for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. The Company does not provide unconditional right of return, price protection or any other concessions to its customers.
 
 (p)
Costs of sales
 
 Cost of sales consists primarily of direct material costs, direct labor cost, direct depreciation and related direct expenses attributable to the production of products.  Write-down of inventory to lower of cost or market is also reflected in cost of revenues.
 
 (q)
Advertising
 
 The Company expensed all advertising costs as incurred.  Advertising expenses included in the selling expenses for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $0.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
 (r)
Warranty expense
 
 The Company generally provides one year warranty to most customers, or in some cases up to one and a half years. Historically warranty expense has been maintained at a very low percentage of sales revenue; therefore the Company does not accrue, but expenses all warranty expenses as incurred under selling expenses. The Company is closely monitoring warranty expense and will start to accrue it as soon as we identify that warranty expense regularly reaches certain percentage of total revenue. Warranty expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $35,693 and $18,900, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $126,989 and $78,085, respectively.
 
 (s)
Research and development costs
 
 The Company expensed all research and development costs as incurred.  Research and development expenses included in the general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $92,388 and $312,027, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $373,930 and $659,134, respectively.
 
 (t)
Retirement benefit plans
 
 The employees of the Company are members of a state-managed retirement benefit plan operated by the government of the PRC.  The Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll costs to the retirement benefit scheme to fund the benefits.  The only obligation of the Company with respect to the retirement benefit plan is to make the specified contributions.
 
 Retirement benefits in the form of contributions under defined contribution retirement plans to the relevant authorities are charged to the statements of income as incurred. The retirement benefit expenses included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $61,748 and $40,563, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $159,802 and $101,962, respectively.
 
 (u)
Share-based compensation
 
 Share-based compensation includes 1) stock options and common stock awards granted to employees and directors for services, and are accounted for under FASB ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation", and 2) common stock awards granted to consultants which are accounted for under FASB ASC 505-50 "Equity - Equity-Based Payment to Non-employees".
 
 All grants of common stock awards and stock options to employees and directors are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values. The Company has elected to recognize compensation expense using the straight-line method for all common stock awards and stock options granted with service conditions that have a graded vesting schedule, with a corresponding charge to additional paid-in capital.
 
 The Company estimates fair value of common stock awards based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant.

 2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
 The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes model. The Company's expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock as well as historical volatility of comparable public companies, due to its relatively short trading history. The expected life assumption is presumed to be the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term, as is permitted for "plain vanilla" employee stock options. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
  FASB ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in the subsequent period if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates. Forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical and future expectation of employee turnover rate and are adjusted to reflect future change in circumstances and facts, if any. Share-based compensation expense is recorded net of estimated forfeitures such that expenses were recorded only for those stock options and common stock awards that are expected to vest.
 
 (v)
Income tax
 
 Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of income in the period that includes the enactment date.  A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
 
 The Company uses FASB ASC 740 (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”)). – AN INTERPRETATION OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 109, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES.  The Interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Under FASB ASC 740, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.  At March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, the Company did not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
 
 (w)
Value-added tax (“VAT”)
 
 Enterprises or individuals, who sell commodities, engage in repair and maintenance or import or export goods in the PRC are subject to a value-added tax in accordance with the PRC laws.  The standard value-added tax rate is 17% of the gross sales price and the Company records its revenue net of VAT.  A credit is available whereby VAT paid on the purchases of semi-finished products or raw materials used in the production of the Company’s finished products can be used to offset the VAT due on the sales of the finished products. Therefore, the amounts of VAT recoverable included in other receivables on the balance sheets represent the excess of VAT paid on purchases over the VAT due on sales at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively, which can be used to offset future VAT that is due on sales.

Foreign currency translation
 
 The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“US$” or “$”), while the functional currency of the Company is Renminbi (“RMB”), as determined based on the criteria of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters”.  The consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses.  Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.  The resulting transaction adjustments are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income with in shareholders’ equity.  Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net income.
 
 The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into USD for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:
 
 March 31, 2011Balance sheet
RMB 6.56010 to US$1.00Statement of income and comprehensive income (3 months)
RMB 6.58040 to US$1.00Statement of income and comprehensive income (9 months)

Cash and concentration of risk
 
 Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in bank accounts.  Total cash in the banks at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010 amounted to $50,513,198 and $20,989,834, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant financial institution risks on its cash in bank accounts. Also see Note 3 for credit risk details.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
 (z)
Statutory reserves
 
 As stipulated by the PRC’s Company Law and as provided in the SK, and Shengkai’s Articles of Association, SK, and Shengkai’s net income after taxation can only be distributed as dividends after appropriation has been made for the following:
 
 (i)
Making up cumulative prior years’ losses, if any;(ii)
Allocations to the “Statutory surplus reserve” of at least 10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, until the fund amounts to 50% of the Company's registered capital, which is restricted for set off against losses, expansion of production and operation or increase in registered capital;(iii)
Allocations of 5-10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to the Company's “Statutory common welfare fund”, which is restricted for capital expenditure for the collective benefits of the Company's employees; and(iv)
Allocations to the discretionary surplus reserve, if approved in the shareholders’ general meeting.
 
 On December 31, 2003, Shengkai established a statutory surplus reserve as well as a statutory common welfare fund and commenced to appropriate 10% and 5%, respectively of the PRC net income after taxation to these reserves. The amounts included in the statutory reserves were surplus reserve of $11,196,604 and $7,081,706 as at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.
 
 (aa)
Comprehensive income
 
 Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.  Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements.  The Company’s current component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.
 
 (ab)
Recent accounting pronouncements
 
 In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20 an accounting update to provide guidance to enhance disclosures related to the credit quality of a company's financing receivables portfolio and the associated allowance for credit losses (“FASB ASC Topic 310”). Pursuant to this accounting update, a company is required to provide a greater level of disaggregated information about its allowance for credit loss with the objective of facilitating users' evaluation of the nature of credit risk inherent in the company's portfolio of financing receivables, how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses, and the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. The revised disclosures as of the end of the reporting period are effective for the Company beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, and the revised discourses related to activities during the reporting period are effective for the Company beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The adoption of such standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
 In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28 an accounting pronouncement related to intangibles – goodwill and other (“FASB ASC Topic 350”), which requires a company to consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist in performing step 2 of the impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. The provisions for this pronouncement are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010, with no early adoption. We will adopt this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2011. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
 In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29 an accounting pronouncement related to business combinations (“FASB ASC Topic 815”), which specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. It also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
 In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-01 an accounting pronouncement related to receivables (“FASB ASC Topic 310”). The amendments in this update temporarily delay the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in ASU 2010-20 for public entities. The delay is intended to allow the Board time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated. Currently, that guidance is anticipated to be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
 3.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
 
 Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consists of cash and accounts receivable as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its cash position and credit evaluations to ensure sound collections and minimize credit losses exposure.
 
 As of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, almost all the Company’s bank deposits were conducted with banks in the PRC where there is currently no rule or regulation mandated on obligatory insurance of bank accounts. Relatively small bank deposits were maintained with the banks in the U.S.A and Hong Kong.
 
 For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, more than 90% of the Company’s sales were generated from the PRC. In addition, nearly all accounts receivable as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, also arose in the PRC.

PUBLIC OFFERINGS AND WARRANTS ISSUED IN 2010 (CONTINUED)
 
 In connection with the public offerings, the Company issued to the Underwriters warrants (the “Underwriters’ Warrants”) to purchase 122,840 and 40,946 shares, respectively, of Common Stock of the Company according to the Underwriting Agreement dated November 19, 2010 and December 17, 2010, respectively. The Underwriters’ Warrants are exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time. The exercise price, expiration date and total number of shares eligible to be purchased with the Underwriters’ Warrants are summarized in the following table:

 The Company’s functional currency is RMB, which is different from the strike price of the Underwriters’ Warrants denominated in US dollars. According to ASC 815-40-15-7I, if the denominated currency of an equity-linked financial instrument’s strike price is different from the entity’s functional currency, an equity-linked financial instrument is not indexed to the entity’s own stock. ASC 815-40-55-36 illustrates the implementation of the above standard. Therefore, the Company determined that the Underwriters’ Warrants shall not be considered indexed to the entity’s own stock and accordingly records such Underwriters’ Warrants as a liability measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings for each reporting period. See Note 2(n).
 
 No Underwriters’ Warrants have been exercised, forfeited or expired since issuance.

PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS ISSUED IN 2008 FINANCING (CONTINUED)
 
 The Preferred Shares have liquidation rights senior to common stock and to any other class or series of stock issued by the Company not designated as ranking senior to or pari passu with the Preferred Shares.  In the event of a liquidation of the Company, holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to receive a distribution equal to $2.5357 per share of Preferred Shares prior to any distribution to the holders of common stock or any other stock that ranks junior to the Preferred Shares. The Preferred Shareholders are not entitled to dividends unless paid to Common Shareholders. Any dividend paid will have the same record and payment date and terms as the dividend payable to the Common Stock. The Preferred Shares will participate based on their respective as-if conversion rates if the Company declares any dividends. Holders of Preferred Shares also have voting rights required by applicable law and the relevant number of votes shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares. At any time, each Preferred Share is convertible into 1 share of Common Stock adjusted from time to time to the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate is computed as the Liquidation Preference Amount ($2.5357 per share) divided by the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price is initially $2.5357 per share but can adjust for anti-dilution.The holder can also void the conversion or exercise its Buy-in Rights. The Buy-in-Rights entitle the holder to be protected in the case that the Company is unable to deliver the shares upon conversion while the holder has transacted to sell such underlying shares to a third party. The Preferred Shares have registration rights that the Company is required to have a registration statement filed with the SEC within 45 days after the earlier of the date of the Second Closing or June 30, 2008, and declared effective by the SEC not later than November 27, 2008. We filed the initial registration statement on August 7, 2008, and it was declared effective by the SEC on August 21, 2008.
 
 The Warrants were issued at an exercise price of $3.52 per share. The exercise price can adjust for dilutive events. The Warrants are immediately exercisable. However, if after exercise the holder would become a holder of greater than 9.9% of common stock they cannot exercise without filing a waiver with the company.  The waiver is required to be filed 61 days prior to exercise and by filing the waiver the restriction is removed. (Since the company is required to accept the waiver this restriction is not considered significant in valuing the warrant.) The Warrants expire 5 years from the date of issuance. The Warrants are freely transferable upon registration. The Warrants are subject to the same Registration Rights Agreement as that of the Preferred Shares. If a registration statement providing for the resale of the Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant is not declared effective after 180 days after the issuance date, the Warrants can be cashless exercised. Also, the Warrants have Buy-in Rights similar to those of the Preferred Shares.
 
 The gross proceeds of the transaction were $15 million. The proceeds from the transaction were originally allocated to the Preferred Shares, Warrants and beneficial conversion feature based on the relative fair value of the securities. The Company evaluated whether a relative fair value approach or residual fair value approach was more appropriate given the terms and accounting treatment related to the financial instruments involved. Given that the Warrants were not originally classified as a liability, the relative fair value method was used. The Warrants were first valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company valued the Warrants at issuance at $1.84 per warrant with the following assumptions: common stock fair market value of $2.55, expected life of 5 year, volatility of 100% and an interest rate of 4.5%.

 The gross proceeds of the transaction were $5 million. The proceeds from the transaction were originally allocated to the Preferred Shares, Warrants and beneficial conversion feature based on the relative fair value of the securities. The Company evaluated whether a relative fair value approach or residual fair value approach was more appropriate given the terms and accounting treatment related to the financial instruments involved.

 The Company originally recognized a beneficial conversion feature discount on the Preferred Shares at its intrinsic value, which was the fair value of the common stock at the commitment date for the Preferred Shares investment, less the effective conversion price but limited to the $5 million of proceeds received from the sale. The Company originally recognized the $2.6 million beneficial conversion feature in the equity as a transfer from retained earnings to additional paid in capital as dividends in the accompanying consolidated financial statements on the date of issuance of the Series A preferred shares since the Preferred Shares were convertible at the issuance date.The accounting treatment for such preferred stock and warrants were re-evaluated and adjustments were made during the year ended June 30, 2010.
 
 In connection with the June 2008 Financing and the July 2008 Financing, in the event of the Company’s failure to timely convert, additional damages would become due.  In the event the Company does not have sufficient shares or is prohibited by law or regulation, then the holder can require cash redemption. The redemption price would equal 130% of the Liquidation Preference Amount plus additional amounts based on the difference between the bid prices on the conversion date and the date the Company has sufficient shares. The holder can also void the conversion or exercise its Buy-in Rights. The Buy-in-Rights entitle the holder to be protected in the case that the Company is unable to deliver the shares upon conversion while the holder has transacted to sell such underlying shares to a third party. In addition, in the event of a merger, consolidation or similar capital reorganization (prior to conversion) the holders can request to be redeemed at 110% of liquidation value.
 
 On April 30, 2010, the Company entered into a Warrant Amendment agreement with each of the holders of the Warrants in the June 2008 Financing and July 2008 Financing, namely Vision Opportunity China, LP and Blue Ridge Investments, LLC, to amend their respective warrants.  In particular, the parties have agreed to delete Sections 4(d), (e) and (f) of their Warrants and replace Section 4(d) with a provision to allow the Company to issue additional shares of common stock or common stock equivalents at a price less than the conversion price of the warrants with the consent of the majority holders of the warrants.

PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS ISSUED IN 2008 FINANCING (CONTINUED)
 
 During the course of internal evaluation, the Company re-evaluated its accounting treatment as of July 1, 2009 for the warrants issued in June 2008 Financing and July 2008 Financing, the denominated currency of the strike price of which is different from the entity’s functional currency.  According to ASC 815-40-15-7I, if the denominated currency of an equity-linked financial instrument’s strike price is different from the entity’s functional currency, an equity-linked financial instrument is not indexed to the entity’s own stock. ASC 815-40-55-36 illustrates the implementation of the above standard. The Company’s primary operations are conducted in the PRC through its subsidiary, Tianjin Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Company Limited, and the operating incomes and expenses are transacted in Renminbi (RMB), which is different from the strike price of the warrants, which are denominated in US dollars. Therefore, the Company determined that  warrants shall not be considered indexed to the entity’s own stock and hence adjusted the classification of the Warrants effective from the beginning of fiscal year 2010, i.e. July 1, 2009, on which date ASC 815 should have been adopted, by recording the warrants as a liability measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings for each reporting period and recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. See Note 2(n).
 
 During the course of internal evaluation, the Company re-evaluated its accounting treatment as of July 1, 2009 for the Preferred Shares issued in the June 2008 Financing and July 2008 Financing.  The Certificate of Designations of the Preferred Shares includes a down-round provision pursuant to which, if the Company issues any additional shares of common stock at a per share price of less than $2.5357, the conversion ratio will be adjusted downward to reflect such lesser issued price for the first two years from the initial issuance date of the Preferred Shares. The Company performed a complete assessment of the preferred stock and concluded that the Preferred Shares issued in the June and July 2008 Private Placements is within the scope of ASC 815-40-55-33 due to the down-round provisions included in the terms of the agreements.  Pursuant to ASC 815-40-55-33, the down-round provision precludes the embedded conversion option of the Preferred Shares from being considered indexed to the entity’s own stock. Accordingly, the Company adjusted its accounting effective from the beginning of fiscal year 2010, i.e. July 1, 2009, on which date ASC 815 should have been adopted, by bifurcating the embedded conversion option of the Preferred Shares which should be recorded as a liability measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings for each reporting period and recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. See Note 2(n).
 
 No Series A Warrants have been exercised, forfeited or expired since issuance.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
 
 The Company’s 2010 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2010 Plan”) adopted by our Board of Directors and approved by our shareholders, permits the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock awards or restricted stock purchase offer, to our officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors. The 2010 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 2,211,250 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment for stock split and similar events). Option awards are generally vest in three to four equal installments and have 5 year contractual terms. The Company’s general policy is to issue new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option exercises or grants of unvested shares.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)
  On March 31, 2010, the Company issued 1,651,125 shares of non-statutory stock options to key employees and 310,000 shares to independent directors as compensation, these options have a 5 year contractual term. The options issued to key employees vest in three equal annual installments of 33.3%, with exercise price of $7.97 per share.  Options issued to independent directors vest in three equal annual installments of 33.3% or in four equal annual installments of 25%, with exercise price of $3 per share. On June 22, 2010, the Company issued 150,000 shares of non-statutory stock options to Mr. Chen Wang, CEO, and 100,125 shares of options to Ms. Wei Guo, VP International Sales of Shengkai. These options have a 5 year contractual term, vest in three equal annual installments of 33.3%, with exercise price of $8.13 per share.
 
 The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718. Accordingly, the Company expenses the fair value of awards made under its share-based plan. That cost is recognized in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period of the grants. Total compensation expense related to the stock options for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $1,064,435 and $3,286,600, respectively, and were recorded as general and administrative expense.  As of March 31, 2011, there was $6,335,379 of unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the 2010 Plan.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years.  640,375 options have been vested up to March 31, 2011, out of which 73,708 options were vested during the three months then ended.
 
 The fair value of the stock option grant for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: volatility of 100%, the risk-free interest rate of 1.6%, expected dividend yield of 0% and expected life of 3.5 to 4 years.
 
 Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based on the historic volatility of the Company’s stock price as well as volatility of comparable companies.  The risk free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option in effect at the time of the grant.  Since the Company has limited option exercise history, it has elected to estimate the expected life of an award based upon the SEC-approved “simplified method” noted under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 with the continued use of this method extended under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110. With the vesting period forms the lower bound of the estimate of expected term and the life of the option forming the upper bound.
 
 The above assumptions were used to determine the weighted average grant date fair value of stock options of $5.63 per share for the options granted on March 31, 2010 and June 22, 2010.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)
 
 The Company’s 2011 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2011 Plan”) adopted by our Board of Directors and ratified and approved by our shareholders on March 4, 2011, permits the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock awards or restricted stock purchase offers, to our officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors. The 2011 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 2,670,661 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment for stock split and similar events). The Company’s general policy is to issue new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option exercises or grants of unvested shares.
 
 On March 18, 2011, our Board of Directors approved to grant an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as stock awards under the 2011 Plan to certain key employees in order to incentivize them and retain their valued services with the Company. 50% of the approved stock awards were issued on March 18, 2011 and the remaining 50% will be issued six months thereafter.
 
 The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718. Accordingly, the Company expenses the fair value of awards made under its share-based plan. The Company estimates fair value of common stock awards based on the number of shares issued and the quoted price of the Company's common stock on the date of issuance. That cost is fully recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Total compensation expense related to the common stock awards for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $3,054,000 and $3,054,000, respectively, and were recorded as general and administrative expense.
 
 On October 11, 2010 the Company issued to an advisor warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company according to the advisor service agreement dated April 13, 2010. The exercise price, expiration date and number of shares eligible to be purchased with the warrants are summarized in the following table:
 
 Number of shares

Contractual term50,000

 The fair value of the warrants was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: volatility of 111.7%, the risk-free interest rate of 0.57%, expected dividend yield of 0% and expected life of 5 years. The Company accounts for share-based compensation to nonemployee in accordance with ASC 718. Accordingly, the Company expenses the fair value of the warrants and amortize over the one-year service period from the date of service agreement. Total compensation expense related for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $62,422 and $241,651, respectively, and was recorded as general and administrative expense.

INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
  SK, Shengkai and Shengkai (Tianjin) Trading Ltd., being registered in the PRC, are subject to PRC’s Enterprise Income Tax. On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China approved the new Corporate Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “New CIT Law”), which is effective from January 1, 2008.  Prior to January 1, 2008, the CIT rate applicable to our subsidiaries in the PRC was 33%.  After January 1, 2008, under the New CIT Law, the corporate income tax rate applicable to our Chinese subsidiaries is 25%.
 
 In accordance with the New CIT Law, enterprises established under the laws of foreign countries or regions and whose “place of effective management” is located within the PRC territory are considered PRC resident enterprises and subject to the PRC income tax at the rate of 25% on worldwide income.  The definition of “place of effective management" refers to an establishment that exercises, in substance, overall management and control over the production and business process, personnel, accounting and properties of an enterprise.  As of March 31, 2011, no detailed interpretation or guidance has been issued to define “place of effective management”.  Furthermore, as of March 31, 2011, the administrative practice associated with interpreting and applying the concept of “place of effective management” is unclear.  If the Company’s non-PRC incorporated entities are deemed PRC tax residents, such entities would be subject to PRC tax under the New CIT Law.  The Company has analyzed the applicability of this law, as of March 31, 2011, and the Company has not accrued for PRC tax on such basis.  The Company will continue to monitor changes in the interpretation or guidance of this law.
 
 The New CIT Law also imposes a 10% withholding income tax, subject to reduction based on tax treaty where applicable, for dividends distributed by a foreign invested enterprise to its immediate holding company outside China.  Such dividends were exempted from PRC tax under the previous income tax law and regulations.  A foreign invested enterprise is subject to the withholding tax starting from January 1, 2008.  There was no such dividends distributed in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010.
  In April 2010, Shengkai was awarded the status of “high technology” enterprise for the calendar years 2009 through 2011, of which Shengkai enjoys a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15%.  However, for the year ended June 30, 2009, we already used income tax rate of 25% to provide and pay for income taxes.  For the period from July 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009, we used income tax rate of 25% to provide and pay for income taxed. After January 1, 2010, we used the preferential income tax rate of 15% to provide and pay for income tax expenses.  We did not record any tax refund receivable as of March 31, 2011 as we are not sure whether the refund of the overpaid income tax expenses during the calendar year 2009 would be approved by the local tax bureau. Income taxes payable was $1,912,601 and $1,061,783 at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.
 
 Income tax expenses consist of the following:

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
 
 Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock consist of the common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt, preferred stock, stock options and warrants. The Company uses the if-converted method to calculate the dilutive preferred stock and the treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive shares issuable upon exercise of warrants and stock options.
 
 The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to the common stockholders is based on the following data:

The nature of our business makes predicting the future trends of our revenue, expenses, and net income difficult. Thus, our ability to predict results or the actual effect of our future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. The risks and uncertainties involved in our business could affect the matters referred to in any forward-looking statements and it is possible that our actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results indicated in these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the following:




·
the effect of political, economic, and market conditions and geopolitical events;


·
legislative and regulatory changes that affect our business;


·
the availability of funds and working capital;


·
the actions and initiatives of current and potential competitors;


·
investor sentiment; and


·
our reputation.




We do not undertake any responsibility to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to take into account events or circumstances that occur after the date of this report. Additionally, we do not undertake any responsibility to update you on the occurrence of any unanticipated events which may cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements.




The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as filed with the SEC and other financial information contained elsewhere in this Report.




Overview




We were incorporated in Florida on December 8, 2004 and have since undergone a change in business. In October 2008, our shareholders approved our name change from “Southern Sauce Company, Inc.” to “Shengkai Innovations, Inc.”




As a result of the reverse merger, financing and related transactions described in our current report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on June 23, 2008, the Company ceased to be a shell company and became a holding company of Shun Kun International Limited (“Shun Kun”), a company incorporated under the laws of British Virgin Islands on November 7, 2007.  Shun Kun holds 100% of the equity interests in Shengkai (Tianjin) Limited (“SK”), a wholly foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”) organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), which, in turn, through contractual relationships, controls the business of Tianjin Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“Shengkai”), a PRC company that designs, manufactures and sells ceramic valves.




On June 25, 2010, Shengkai (Tianjin) Trading Ltd., which is wholly owned by SK, was organized as a corporation under the laws of the PRC, with a total registered capital of RMB500,000. Shengkai (Tianjin) Trading Ltd. is primarily engaged in the international trading of non-valve products to better serve the Company’s international customers. Currently, Shengkai (Tianjin) Trading Ltd. has not started any operations.




Because SK and Shengkai’s operations are the only significant operations of the Company and its affiliates, this discussion and analysis focuses on the business results of SK and Shengkai, comparing their business results in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010.




Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations




The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operation of the Company for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions.


40
 
 Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements section in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. We use terms such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.


General




SK and Shengkai, the entities through which we run our operations, are prominent ceramic valve manufacturers. We have about 17 years of experience and possess a unique method for creating ceramic valves.




We believe that we are one of the few ceramic valve manufacturers in the world with research and development, engineering, and production capacity for structural ceramics, and are able to produce large-sized ceramic valves with calibers of 150mm or more. Our product categories include a broad range of valves in nearly all industries and are sold throughout the PRC, to Europe, North America, Middle East and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Totaling over 400 customers, Shengkai became a supplier of China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (“CPCC” or “Sinopec”) in 2005 and a member of the PetroChina Co. Ltd. (“PetroChina”) supply network in 2006. Shengkai is currently the only domestic ceramic valve manufacturer entering the CPCC and PetroChina supply system, after a six-year application process.




Results of Operations




Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010




Revenue




Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $26,636,369, an increase of $12,095,297 or 83.2% from $14,541,072 for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to our continuous marketing efforts, increased customer demand and expanded capacity at the new facility, which commenced commercial production in mid-September 2010. The new facility increases our total production capacity to 24,000 sets of ceramic valves per year based on one-shift operation. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, in order to meet market demands for our ceramic valve products, we added additional shifts to increase our capacity output. Total ceramic valves output for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 reached 6,751 sets, compared with 3,975 sets for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Ceramic valve is a relatively new technology with a very low market penetration rate compared to traditional metal valves which are currently prevalent in market. Demand for the Company’s ceramic valves has been growing because of the durability and reasonable pricing of our products. Approximately 90.4% of our source of revenue came from customers in the electric power, petrochemical and chemical industries for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The electric power industry still contributes significantly to our revenue as it generated approximately 58.4% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Revenue from the electric power industry was approximately $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately $6.7 million or 76.4% from approximately $8.8 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to the broadening of our customer base and repeat orders from existing customers. Approximately 19% of revenue from the electric power industry for the three-month period was generated from twenty new customer accounts.




Revenue from the petrochemical and chemical industry, our biggest potential market, accounted for approximately 32% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The revenue from the petrochemical and chemical industry was approximately $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately $3.4 million or 67.2% from approximately $5.1 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The increase was primarily due to our continuous efforts to market our products to the petrochemical and chemical industry.




41
 
 We focus more marketing efforts on the petrochemical and chemical industries because most of their production and supply processes involve highly corrosive and abrasive media or other severe conditions, and therefore we believe that our ceramic valves are a good fit for these sectors because of their superior durability.Approximately 33% of revenue from the petrochemical and chemical industry for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 was generated from eight new customer accounts.


Revenue from other industries, including the aluminum and metallurgy industries, accounted for approximately 9.6% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The revenue for other industries was approximately $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately $1.9 million or 310.0% from approximately $0.6 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The rapid growth in revenue from the other industries was primarily due to the mandatory application of dry dedust technique, as mandated in the Environmental Protection Guide for Developing Circular Economy in Iron and Steel Industry promulgated by the Ministry of Environment Protection of PRC in March 2009 to replace the traditional wet technique used in blast furnace gas cleaning in the iron and steel industry. Iron and steel mills introduced new blast furnace gas cleaning systems, which create a highly abrasive working environment for the valves.  Accordingly, there was a greater need to replace their old valves with more durable ones. Approximately 55% of revenue from the other industries for the three-month period was generated from eleven new customer accounts.




Gross Profit




Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $15,184,516, an increase of $6,558,523 or 76.0% compared to $8,625,993 for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to the revenue increase. The gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was 57.0%, compared to 59.3% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The decrease in gross margin between the two comparison periods was primarily attributed to increase in depreciation expenses. For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, construction in progress of approximately $32.7 million was fully transferred to plant and equipment. The corresponding new depreciation expense recorded in cost of goods sold was approximately $0.3 million for the quarter. Apart from this, the average gross margin also varied slightly from quarter to quarter due to different product mix.




Selling Expenses




Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $2,325,547, an increase of $921,772 or 65.7%, from $1,403,775 for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The major component of selling expenses was commission paid to agents for introducing new sales, which was approximately $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately $1.0 million or 82.7% from approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Selling expenses as a percentage of total sales revenue decreased to 8.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 9.7% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010.




General and Administrative Expenses




General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $5,319,344, a decrease of $2,812,268 or 34.6% compared to $8,131,612 for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to the inclusion of a non-cash stock compensation expense of approximately $5.0 million in the G&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010, resulting from the return of shares of common stock to the Company's chief executive officer and principal shareholder because the Company achieved the financial performance thresholds for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, pursuant to the Securities Escrow Agreements in the June 2008 and July 2008 Financings and amendments thereto. Included in G&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was a non-cash charge of $4,118,435, which was the share-based compensation costs on i) the options to an advisor and to independent directors, management and key employees issued on March 31, 2010 and June 22, 2010, under the Company’s 2010 Incentive Stock Plan, and ii) the stock awards to management and key employees issued on March 18, 2011, under the Company’s 2011 Incentive Stock Plan.




42
 
 The non-cash share-based compensation costs included in the G&A expenses for the comparable period in fiscal 2010 was $2,159,429.  G&A expenses (excluding the non-cash items) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $1,200,909, an increase of $256,923 or 27.2% compared to $943,986 for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The increase in G&A (excluding the non-cash items) expenses over the comparable periods of fiscal 2010 and 2011 was primarily attributable to the increase in depreciation costs from $16,708 to $115,716 as a result of the new headquarters building, as well as increase in traveling expenses. The amortization of land use rights and other intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $248,773, an increase of $19,452 or 8.5% compared to $229,321 for the comparable period in fiscal 2010.


Changes in Fair Value of Instruments




For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred non-cash gain in an aggregate amount of approximately $21.3 million related to its issuance of Series A warrants and Series A convertible preferred stock in the Private Placements in June and July, 2008, as well as issuance of warrants to underwriters in the public offerings in November and December 2010, pursuant to provision of FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivative and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The accounting treatment of the warrants resulted from the difference between the Company's functional currency in Renminbi and the denominated currency of the strike price of the warrants in U.S. dollars. The accounting treatment of the preferred stock resulted from a down-round provision providing anti-dilution protection to the preferred stockholders. Both warrants and the embedded conversion option of Series A convertible preferred stock are recorded as liabilities measured at fair value with changes in their fair value recognized in earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Fair value of the instruments was primarily a function of the price of our common stock. A decrease in our stock price over the three months resulted in a decrease in fair value of the instruments, which are liabilities; hence a gain was recognized for the reporting period. For the comparable period in fiscal 2010, however, the Company recognized a non-cash loss of approximately $33.7 million, due to the increase in our stock price over that period, resulting in an increase in fair value of the instruments.




Provision for Income Taxes




Provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $1,906,700, an increase of $928,937 or 95.0% from $977,763 for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. Excluding the approximately $4.1 million share-based compensation cost and the approximately $21.3 million gain from changes in fair value of instruments, adjusted income before taxes was approximately $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared with approximately $6.5 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2010, after adjusting for the approximately $5.0 million stock compensation expense, approximately $2.2 million share-based compensation cost, and approximately $33.7 million loss from changes in fair value of instruments. In April 2010, Shengkai, the Company’s operating entity in Tianjin, PRC, was awarded the status of “high technology” enterprise for the calendar years 2009 through 2011. Hence Shengkai enjoys a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15% starting from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2011, and will receive a 10% refund for the income taxes paid at the standard 25% tax rate for calendar year 2009.




Comparison of the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010




Revenue




Revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $66,183,712, an increase of $27,990,620 or 73.3% from $38,193,092 for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to our continuous marketing efforts, increased customer demand and expanded production capacity during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2011 due to increased equipment and shifts of operation at the old facility and commencement of operations at our new manufacturing facility in mid-September 2010, despite disruptions caused by the relocation of our production facility from the old plant to the new plant during September 2010. The new facility increases our total production capacity to 24,000 sets of ceramic valves per year based on one-shift operation.




43
 
 During the last quarter of the nine-month period ended March 31, 2011, in order to meet increased market demand for our ceramic valve products, we have added additional shifts at some of the production processes to increase our capacity output. Total ceramic valves output for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2011 reached 16,557 sets, compared with 10,112 sets for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2010.


Ceramic valve is a relatively new technology with a very low market penetration rate compared with traditional metal valves which are currently prevalent in market. Demand for the Company’s ceramic valves has been growing because of the durability and reasonable pricing of our products. Approximately 93.5% of our source of revenue came from customers in the electric power, petrochemical and chemical industries for the past nine months. The electric power industry still contributes significantly to our revenue, approximately 64.6% of total revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Revenue from the electric power industry was approximately $42.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately $17.5 million or 69.2% from approximately $25.3 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to the broadening of our customer base and repeated orders from existing customers. Approximately 20% of revenue from the electric power industry for the nine-month period was generated from twenty-eight new customer accounts.




Revenue from the petrochemical and chemical industry, our biggest potential market, accounted for approximately 28.9% of total revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The revenue from the petrochemical and chemical industry was approximately $19.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately $8.2 million or 75.1% from approximately $10.9 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The increase was primarily due to our continuous efforts to market our products to the petrochemical and chemical industry. We focus more marketing efforts on the petrochemical and chemical industries because most of their production and supply processes involve highly corrosive and abrasive media or other severe conditions, and therefore we believe that our ceramic valves are a good fit for these sectors because of their superior durability.Approximately 31% of revenue from the petrochemical and chemical industry for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2011 was generated from eighteen new customer accounts.




Revenue from other industries, including the aluminum and metallurgy industries, accounted for approximately 6.5% of total revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The revenue for other industries was approximately $4.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately $2.3 million or 114.2% from approximately $2.0 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The rapid growth in revenue from the other industries was primarily due to the mandatory application of dry dedust technique, as mandated in the Environmental Protection Guide for Developing Circular Economy in Iron and Steel promulgated by the Ministry of Environment Protection of PRC in March 2009 to replace the traditional wet technique, used in blast furnace gas cleaning in the iron and steel industry. Iron and steel mills introduced new blast furnace gas cleaning systems, which create a highly abrasive working environment for the valves. Accordingly, there was a greater need to replace their old valves with more durable ones. Approximately 40% of revenue from the other industries for the nine-month period was generated from eleven new customer accounts.




Gross Profit




Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $38,389,549, an increase of $15,593,553 or 68.4% compared to $22,795,996 for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to the revenue increase. The gross margin for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was 58.0%, compared to 59.7% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. Included in total sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 were approximately $1 million in sales of ceramic valve components, which have a gross margin closer to the industry norm in PRC and much lower than our higher value-added ceramic valve products, dragging down the average gross margin in the period. This large quantity order for valve components was made together with an order for ceramic valves as a package deal from one particular export customer. Such a large quantity of valve component sales is not expected to recur on a regular basis in future.




44
 
 The decrease in gross margin between the two comparison periods was also attributed to increase in depreciation expenses. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2011, construction in progress of approximately $32.7 million was fully transferred to plant and equipment. The corresponding new depreciation expense recorded in cost of goods sold was approximately $0.3 million for the period. Apart from this, the average gross margin also varied slightly from quarter to quarter due to different product mix.


Selling Expenses




Selling expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were $5,914,514, an increase of $2,392,749 or 67.9%, from $3,521,765 for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The major component of selling expenses was commission paid to agents for introducing new sales, which was approximately $5.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately $2.4 million or 76.9% from approximately $3.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Selling expenses as a percentage of total sales revenue slightly decreased to 8.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 from 9.2% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010.




General and Administrative Expenses




General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were $9,829,357, a decrease of $10,760,828 or 52.3% compared to $20,590,185 for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to the inclusion of a non-cash stock compensation expense of approximately $16.0 million in the G&A expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, resulting from the return of shares of common stock to the Company's chief executive officer and principal shareholder, because the Company achieved the financial performance thresholds for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, pursuant to the Securities Escrow Agreements in the June 2008 and July 2008 Financings and amendments thereto. Included in G&A expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was a non-cash charge of $6,351,696, which was the share-based compensation cost on i) the options to an advisor and to independent directors, management and key employees issued on March 31, 2010 and June 22, 2010, under the Company’s 2010 Incentive Stock Plan, and ii) the stock awards to management and key employees issued on March 18, 2011, under the Company’s 2011 Incentive Stock Plan. The non-cash share-based compensation costs included in the G&A expenses for the comparable period in fiscal 2010 was $2,159,429. G&A expenses (excluding the non-cash items) for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were $3,477,661, an increase of $1,018,825 or 41.4% compared to $2,458,836 for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The increase in G&A (excluding the non-cash items) expenses over the comparable periods of fiscal 2010 and 2011 was attributable to the increase in depreciation costs from $50,312 to $158,040 as a result of the new headquarters building, traveling expenses, cash compensation to independent directors and management staff due to new appointments and hirings, as well as expenses incurred in our U.S. capital market-related activities, such as Nasdaq listing fees and costs for participation in investment conferences. The amortization of land use rights and other intangible assets for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $755,458, an increase of $67,783 or 9.9% compared to $687,675 for the comparable period in fiscal 2010.




Changes in Fair Value of Instruments




For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred non-cash gain in an aggregate amount of approximately $50.6 million related to its issuance of Series A warrants and Series A convertible preferred stock in the Private Placements in June and July, 2008, as well as issuance of warrants to underwriters in the public offerings in November and December 2010, pursuant to provision of FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivative and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The accounting treatment of the warrants resulted from the difference between the Company's functional currency in Renminbi and the denominated currency of the strike price of the warrants in U.S. dollars. The accounting treatment of the preferred stock resulted from a down-round provision providing anti-dilution protection to the preferred stockholders. Both warrants and the embedded conversion option of Series A convertible preferred stock are recorded as liabilities measured at fair value with changes in their fair value recognized in earnings for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Fair value of the instruments was primarily a function of the price of our common stock. A decrease in our stock price over the nine months resulted in a decrease in fair value of the instruments, which are liabilities; hence a gain was recognized for the reporting period.




45
 
 For the comparable period in fiscal 2010, however, the Company recognized a non-cash loss of approximately $55.9 million, due to the increase in our stock price over that period, resulting in an increase in fair value of the instruments.


Provision for Income Taxes




Provision for income taxes for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $4,601,727, an increase of $956,221 or 26.2% from $3,645,506 for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. Excluding the approximately $6.4 million share-based compensation cost and the approximately $50.6 million gain from changes in fair value of instruments, adjusted income before taxes was approximately $29.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared with approximately $17.4 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2010, after adjusting for the approximately $16.0 million stock compensation expense, approximately $2.2 million share-based compensation cost, and approximately $55.9 million loss from changes in fair value of instruments. The increase in provision for income taxes was not proportional to the growth in the adjusted income before taxes, attributable to the new preferential income tax rate in calendar 2010. In April 2010, Shengkai, the Company’s operating entity in Tianjin, PRC, was newly awarded the status of “high technology” enterprise for the calendar years 2009 through 2011. Hence Shengkai enjoys a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15% starting from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2011, and will receive a 10% refund for the income taxes paid at the standard 25% tax rate for calendar year 2009. The applicable income tax rate was 25% for the period from July 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009.




Liquidity and Capital Resources




Cash and Cash Equivalents




Our cash and cash equivalents as at the beginning of the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $20,995,182 and increased to $50,517,366 by the end of the period, an increase of $29,522,184 or 140.6%.  The increase was primarily attributable to the net proceeds from the public offering closed by the end of calendar 2010 and internal cash flows generated from operations, offset by progressive payments made for our recently completed new manufacturing facility and headquarters building.




We believe that after taking into account of our cash position, available bank facilities and cash generated from operating activities, we have adequate working capital to sustain working capital, capital expenditure and milestone payments for the next twelve months. From time to time, we may identify new expansion opportunities for which there will be a need to use cash.




We manage our cash based on thorough consideration of our corporate strategy as well as the macro economic situation. Factors we take into account when managing our cash include interest rates, foreign currency fluctuation as well as the flexibility in executing our acquisition strategy.




Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities




Net cash provided by operating activities was $21,067,352 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $5,636,323 or 36.5% from $15,431,029 for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The adjusted net income, after deducting the non-cash gain from changes in fair value of instruments and adding back the non-cash share-based compensation cost, was $24,753,874 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $11,009,026 or 80.1% from $13,744,848 for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The increase in net cash inflow from operations was primarily attributable to the higher net income, in spite of larger working capital used between the two comparable periods in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, as reflected by increased cash used in trade receivables and other receivables, inventories, notes payable and advances from customers over the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.




46


Net Cash Used in Investing Activities




Net cash used in investing activities was $10,078,417 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $31,523,270 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $21,444,853 or 68.0%. The change was primarily attributable to the less cash payment for capital expenditures incurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to same period in fiscal 2010.




Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities




Net cash provided by financing activities was $17,466,689 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, attributable to the proceeds from issuance of common stock in the public offering during the period, net of offering costs. There was no net cash provided by or used in financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.




Capital Expenditures




In October 2008, we successfully won a bid on a land use right over a plot of land approximately 43,566.3 square meters in size. The land is located in Tianjin, PRC and the bid price was approximately $1.9 million (RMB12.6 million). The formal contract was signed with the government on January 23, 2009, with the Company due to pay the bid price in full by March 25, 2009. The land was purchased with plans to construct corporate headquarters and to build a new manufacturing facility to expand our production capacity. Expenditures committed under related construction contracts totaled $34,284,519 (RMB224,909,871), of which $31,673,828 (RMB207,783,479)  had been paid as of March 31, 2011. The balance of $2,610,691 (RMB17,126,392) will substantially be settled after completion of inspection and final acceptance of the construction project by relevant government authorities, with certain amount to be held from payment as warranty deposit till approximately one year after such final acceptance. Certain equipment and machinery contracts for the above-mentioned newly completed manufacturing facility have also been executed, total amount of which was approximately $16,240,774 (RMB106,541,100), of which $14,864,324 (RMB97,511,450) had been paid as of March 31, 2011. The balance of $1,376,450 (RMB9,029,650) primarily represented the amount held from payment as warranty deposit till approximately one year after installation. Expenditures committed under certain utility installation and related auxiliary engineering projects totaled $3,668,551 (RMB24,066,062), which had been fully paid as of March 31, 2011.




The Company has also executed new equipment purchase contracts for further capacity expansion in the new manufacturing facility, total amount of which was approximately $6,551,089 (RMB42,975,800). Payments will substantially be made after installation and acceptance.




Trends




We are not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our short-term or long-term liquidity.




Inflation




We believe that inflation has not had a material or significant impact on our revenue or our results of operations.




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 financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

(1) Capital expenditures are commitments for the construction of a new manufacturing facility and for the purchase of new equipment and machinery. See Note 16 - Commitments and Contingency in the notes to the financial statements, included elsewhere in this report. The Company entered into certain construction contracts for building a new manufacturing facility and a headquarters building. The total amount of executed contracts was $34,284,519 (RMB224,909,871), of which $31,673,828 (RMB207,783,479)  had been paid as of March 31, 2011. The construction of both the manufacturing facility and the headquarters building were substantially completed in September 2010. The Company has also executed certain equipment and machinery contracts totaling $16,240,774 (RMB106,541,100), of which $14,864,324 (RMB97,511,450) had been paid as of March 31, 2011. The Company has also entered into new equipment purchase orders for further capacity expansion in the new manufacturing facility, total amount of which was approximately $6,551,089 (RMB42,975,800). Payments will substantially be made after installation and acceptance.




Off Balance Sheet Arrangements




None.




Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates




The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates (See Note 2 in the Notes to Financial Statements).




Accounts receivable




Accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value.  An allowance for doubtful accounts will be recorded in the period when loss is probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating troubled collection, historical experience, accounts aging and other factors. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection.  If accounts receivable are to be provided for, or written off, they would be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within operating expense.




Impairment of long-lived assets




48


The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances warrant such a review, pursuant to the guidelines established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144 (now known as "ASC 360"). The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost to dispose.




Inventories




Inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value.  Cost is determined by the weighted average basis and includes all expenditures incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale and putting them in a saleable condition.  In case of manufacturing inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any applicable selling expenses.




Fair Value of Financial Instruments




FASB ASC 820 (formerly SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements) establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.




These tiers include:




·
Level 1—defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;




·
Level 2—defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and




·
Level 3—defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.




The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, other receivables, short-term bank loans, accounts payable, notes payable, other payables and accrued expenses and due to related parties, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.




Accounting guidance on fair value measurement and disclosures permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. It was effective for our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009. Upon its adoption and at this time, we do not intend to reflect any of our current financial instruments at fair value (except that we are required to carry our derivative financial instruments at fair value). However, we will consider the appropriateness of recognizing financial instruments at fair value on a case by case basis in future periods.




Revenue recognition




Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold and is recognized upon the delivery of goods to customers, net of value added tax (“VAT”). Revenue is recognized when the following four criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.




49
 
 Intangible assets




Intangible assets represent land use rights, patent rights and other assets (such as use of software) in the PRC. Land use rights are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of rights of 50 years commencing from the date of acquisition of equitable interest. Patent rights are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of rights of 10 years commencing from the date of acquisition of equitable interest. Others are software costs which are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period from 3 to 10 years.




Foreign currency translation




The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“US$” or “$”), while the functional currency of the Company is Renminbi (“RMB”), as determined based on the criteria of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters”.  The consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses.

New Financial Accounting Pronouncements




In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20 an accounting update to provide guidance to enhance disclosures related to the credit quality of a company's financing receivables portfolio and the associated allowance for credit losses (“FASB ASC Topic 310”). Pursuant to this accounting update, a company is required to provide a greater level of disaggregated information about its allowance for credit loss with the objective of facilitating users' evaluation of the nature of credit risk inherent in the company's portfolio of financing receivables, how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses, and the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. The revised disclosures as of the end of the reporting period are effective for the Company beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, and the revised discourses related to activities during the reporting period are effective for the Company beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The adoption of such standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.




In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28 an accounting pronouncement related to intangibles – goodwill and other (“FASB ASC Topic 350”), which requires a company to consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist in performing step 2 of the impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. The provisions for this pronouncement are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010, with no early adoption. We will adopt this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2011. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.




In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29 an accounting pronouncement related to business combinations (“FASB ASC Topic 815”), which specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. It also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.

 Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.


In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-01 an accounting pronouncement related to receivables (“FASB ASC Topic 310”), The amendments in this update temporarily delay the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in ASU 2010-20 for public entities. The delay is intended to allow the Board time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated. Currently, that guidance is anticipated to be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011.
