 AMERICAN METAL & TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 NOTES TO AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





1. Organization and description of business





On June 1, 2007, American Metal & Technology, Inc. (AMTI, "We, "Us, "Our"or the "Company") formally changed its name from Murray United Development Corporation to American Metal & Technology, Inc.





The Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement on November 6, 2006 (the "Agreement") with American Metal Technology Group, a Nevada corporation (“AMTG"), pursuant to which the Company acquired one hundred (100%) percent of AMTG's outstanding common stock from the AMTG Stockholders and AMTG became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company in a two step reverse takeover transaction on May 22, 2007.  In connection with this transaction, and in addition to the 173,253,434 shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to closing, the Company issued 1,213,295,563 shares to the shareholders and consultants of AMTG (1,142,388,273 shares to AMTG's former shareholders, including 20,000,000 shares of common stock issues to AMTG as investment upon completion of the due diligence period to the Agreement, and redistributed proportionally to AMTG's shareholders as of May 22, 2007, and 70,907,300 shares to AMTG's consultants).  These shares represent more than eighty five (85%) of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of voting capital stock on a fully diluted basis, and therefore the former shareholders of AMTG and its consultants effectively have control of the Company.  In addition, as a condition of the closing of the Agreement, the Company issued an additional 10,000,000 shares of common stock to a former officer and director of the Company in connection with the cancellation of all indebtedness to him, and his assumption of all liabilities and the assignment all assets of the Company immediately prior to closing.   AMTG is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.


The exchange of shares with AMTG has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting since the shareholders of AMTG obtained control of the consolidated entity. Accordingly, the merger of the two companies has been recorded as a recapitalization of AMTG, with AMTG being treated as the continuing entity.  The historical financial statements presented herein are those of AMTG. The continuing company has retained December 31 as its fiscal year end.





Reflecting the change of ownership, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to change its name to American Metal & Technology, Inc., which became effective June 1, 2007.





The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary AMTG and through AMTG’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Beijing Tong Yuan Heng Feng Technology Co., Ltd. and American Metal Technology (Lang Fang) Co., Ltd., is mainly in the business of manufacturing and sales of high-precision investment casting and metal fabrication products in the People's Republic of China (“China”). The Company's production involves high-precision investment casting and machined products, including valves, pipe fittings, etc.




AMTG was incorporated on January 13, 2004 under the laws of the state of Nevada. On June 1, 2004, AMTG entered into an equity purchase agreement with Beijing Sande Technology (Holding) Co., Ltd. (“BST”) to acquire 80% ownership of Beijing Tong Yuan Heng Feng Technology Co., Ltd. (“BJTY”). As a result, AMTG issued 7,200 shares of its pre-split common stock to BST in exchange for 80% ownership of BJTY. On August 2, 2004, AMTG incorporated American Metal Technology (Lang Fang) Co., Ltd. (“AMLF”) in Hebei, China, for the purpose of expanding the production facility of BJTY. On August   8, 2004, AMTG and AMLF together entered into an equity purchase agreement with Beijing Sande Shang Mao Co., Ltd. (BSS)for the remaining 20% of BJTY. As a result, AMTG issued 1,800 shares of pre-split common stock to BSS and AMLF became the 20% owner of BJTY. AMTG later acquired the 20% ownership of BJTY from AMLF to own 100% of BJTY. On November 12, 2004, AMTG effectuated a forward split of all of its outstanding shares of common stock on a 1,000 for 1 basis. On November 2005, AMTG sold 5% of BJTY to an unrelated party for $240,000. As set forth below, the Company repurchased such shares pursuant to an Equity Purchase Agreement entered into on September 22, 2008.
  In February 2008, we announced that we were planning to invest an estimated $3 million to build additional facilities at our Lang Fang manufacturing center. The new facilities marked the second phase of a multiphase plan to transform the Company’s capacity and capabilities for the foreseeable future. This second phase of our multiphase expansion plan added two buildings totaling approximately 10,916 square meters, increasing annual capacity for casting products by 50% to 3,600 tons from 2,400 tons.  During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, we completed construction of the first building, which is a factory with a workspace of 6,654.84 square meters.  The factory entails  a 4,500 square meter metal casting shop, a 1,000 square meter electronic shop, a 500 square meter mould shop, and a 600 square meter inventory and assorted sets shop.  The second building, which was completed during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, is a 4,260.84 square meter four level staff dormitory which accommodates 600 staff members.





On July 11, 2008, the Company acquired from the Chairman and President of Company, fifty thousand (50,000) shares of common stock, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding shares, of Lighting Power Global Limited, a British Virgin Island company, incorporated on May 29, 2008, pursuant to the BVI Business Company Act, 2004, resulting in the Company becoming the sole shareholder of Lighting Power Global Limited.  The Company agreed to reimburse the Chairman and the President for any loans made and/or expenses incurred with respect to the acquisition and ownership of the shares of common stock of Lighting Power Global Limited, which amounted to $50,000.  The Company recorded deemed dividend and related party payable in the amount of $50,000 at December 31, 2008.

 NOTES TO AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Organization and description of business - continued





On September 22, 2008, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement") with Wen Ge Ren (the "Seller"), a shareholder owning a 5% stock interest in BJTY, which was 95% owned through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary American Metal Technology Group. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to pay to the Seller US $390,299. The Seller agreed to accept from the Company the equivalent of US $92,566.46 (or RMB 629,451.91) in cash consideration and the balance of US $297,732.57 pursuant to the issuance of such number of shares of restricted Common Stock based upon an amount equal to 75% of the average of the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock for the five-day trading period commencing on September 18, 2008. The Company agreed to deliver to the Seller the cash consideration and duly executed share certificates representing the underlying shares registered in the name of the Seller within 60 days from the date of signature. The Company delivered the cash consideration and issued 317,581 shares to the Seller prior to March 31, 2009.
 
 On March 18, 2009, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to transfer and sell back the Company’s ownership of fifty thousand (50,000) shares of common stock, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Lighting Power Global Limited, a British Virgin Island company, to the Chairman and the President of Company, resulting in the President becoming the sole shareholder of Lighting Power Global Limited.  The Board of Directors also authorized the Company to cancel any funds due to the President for any loans made and /or expenses incurred with respect to the original acquisition and ownership of the shares of common stock of Lighting Power Global Limited.


On April 29, 2009, the Board of Directors of AMTG adopted a resolution authorizing the creation of a new Hong Kong corporation.  A Certificate of Incorporation was filed in Hong Kong on April 30, 2009 organizing American Metal Technology Group Limited (“AMTL”). In June 2009, the Board of Directors of AMTG adopted a resolution which authorized AMTG’s utilization of AMTL as the operating entity with respect to overseeing AMTG’s operations in Asia and authorized AMTG’s wholly owned subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China to become wholly owned subsidiaries of AMTL effective immediately.

 AMERICAN METAL & TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 NOTES TO AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


2. Summary of significant accounting policies- continued
 
 Cash and cash equivalents





For Statement of Cash Flows purposes, the Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including accounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, cash and cash equivalents amounted to $4,696,480 and $6,380,208, respectively.  Cash deposited with banks in China is not insured.


Accounts receivable





The Company's policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses for accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had accounts receivable of $846,183 and $205,988, net of allowance of $40,006 and $41,292, respectively.





Inventory valuation





Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value using the weighted average method.  Management compares the cost of inventory with its market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its market value, if lower.  The Company recorded $96,372 and $106,901 of inventory valuation reserve for obsolete or slow-moving items as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.


Impairment of long-lived assets





FASB ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” (formerly SFAS No. 144) requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets.  Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.


The Company tests long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets subject to periodic amortization, for recoverability at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount of an asset is greater than its fair value.  Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets.  The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset.  If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value.  The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows at the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments.  The Company estimates fair value based upon the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary.  There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the period ended September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.


Advances to suppliers





The Company makes advances to certain vendors for the purchase of material.  As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the advances to suppliers amounted to $135 and $31,201 respectively.





Revenue recognition





The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB 104), Revenue Recognition (ASC Topic 605).  Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue. Unearned revenue as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 amounted to $19,429 and $60,104 respectively.





The Company's revenue consists of the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). No product return or sales discount allowance is made as products delivered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable and sales discounts are normally not granted after products are delivered.

Foreign currency translation





The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The Company uses its local currency, Renminbi (RMB), as its functional currency. Results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders' equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.


Accumulated other comprehensive income amounted to $2,322,221 and $1,960,066 as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  Accumulated other comprehensive income was mainly foreign currency translation adjustments as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.





Income taxes





The Company utilizes FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (formerly SFAS No. 109), which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.





Segment reporting





FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” (formerly SFAS No. 131) requires the use of the "management approach" model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.





ASC Topic 280 has no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements as the Company operates in one reportable business segment - manufacturing and marketing high-precision investment casting and metal fabrication products in China.


Recent accounting pronouncements





The Company has adopted all recently issued accounting pronouncements.  The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.








3. Marketable Securities




The Company’s securities are classified as trading and, as such, are carried at fair value. The securities comprised of shares of common stock of third party customers and securities purchased. Securities classified as trading are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term.  Trading generally reflects active and frequent buying and selling, and trading securities are generally used with the objective of generating profits on short-term differences in price.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company does not have any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities.





Unrealized holding gains and losses for trading securities shall be included in earnings.  Marketable securities classified as available for sale consisted of the following as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

3. Marketable Securities - continued
  ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  In determining fair value of certificates of deposit, the Company uses the market approach.  ASC Topic 820 establishes a hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  This hierarchy increases the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and related disclosures by maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available.  Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities based upon market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.  Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances.  The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels based upon the reliability of the inputs as follows:
 
 ·
Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.  Valuation of these instruments does not require a high degree of judgment as the valuations are based upon quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly available.  The Company’s marketable securities are subject to fair value measurments utilizing Level 1 inputs.





·
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.  These financial instruments are valued by quoted prices that are less frequent than those in active markets or by models that use various assumptions that are derived from or supported by data that is generally observable in the marketplace.  Valuations in this category are inherently less reliable than quoted market prices due to the degree of subjectivity involved in determining appropriate methodologies and the applicable underlying assumptions.  The Company does not currently have financial instruments utilizing Level 2 inputs.





·
Level 3 – Valuations based upon inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data.  The Company does not currently have any financial instruments utilizing Level 3 inputs.  These financial instruments have significant inputs that cannot be validated by readily determinable data and generally involve considerable judgment by management.





The following table summarizes by level within the fair value hierarchy of marketable securities as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

7. Intangible assets





The intangible assets comprised of following at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:





Land use right





Per the People's Republic of China's governmental regulations, the Government owns all land. However, the government grants the user a “land use right” (the Right) to use the land. The Company has recognized the amounts paid for the acquisition of rights to use land as intangible asset and amortizing over a period of fifty years.





American Metal Technology (Lang Fang) Co., Ltd. acquired land use rights during the year ended 2004 for a total amount of $663,740. The land use right is for fifty years. The intangible assets consist of the following as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

Intangible assets of the Company are reviewed annually as to whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. As of September 30, 2010 the Company expects these assets to be fully recoverable.





Amortization expense of intangible assets for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $10,070 and $9,976 respectively. Amortization expenses for next five years after September 30, 2010 are as follows:

12. Income taxes





The Company is registered in the State of Delaware and has operations in primarily two tax jurisdictions - the PRC and the United States.  For operations in the U.S., the Company has incurred net operating losses.  The Company believes it is more likely than not that these net operating losses will not be utilized in the future.  Therefore, the Company has provided full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets arising from the losses at these locations as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.  Accordingly, the Company has no net deferred tax assets on the U.S. operations.





United States





The Company has significant income tax net operating losses (“NOL”) carried forward from prior years.  Due to the change in ownership of more than fifty percent, the amount of NOL which may be used in any one year will be subject to a restriction under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Due to the uncertainty of the realizability of the related deferred tax assets, a reserve equal to the amount of deferred income taxes has been established at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The Company has provided 100% valuation allowance to the deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.





People’s Republic of China (PRC)





The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning subsidiaries located in PRC.  Prior to 2007, under the Income Tax Laws of the PRC, Chinese enterprises are generally subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 33% (30% state income taxes plus 3% local income taxes) on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments.





Beginning January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax (EIT) law replaced the existing laws for Domestic Enterprises (DES) and Foreign Invested Enterprises (FIEs). The new standard EIT rate of 25% replaced the 33% rate previously applicable to both DES and FIEs.  The Company evaluated the effect of the new EIT law on its financial position, and the two years tax exemption, three years 50% tax reduction tax holiday for production-oriented FIEs will be continued.  AMLF was exempt from EIT taxes for the year 2007 and 2008, and entitled to the 50% reduction in EIT tax rate for the years 2009 to 2011.  BJTY was exempt from EIT taxes for the years 2005 and 2006, and entitled to the 50% reduction in EIT tax rate for the years 2007 to 2009.  Therefore, BJTY is subject to the standard EIT rate of 25% commencing the year 2010.

13. Current vulnerability due to certain concentrations





BJTY and AMLF’s operations are all carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC's economy.





The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.





Major customers





One major customer which is also a related party to the Company accounted for 58% of the net revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010.  The Company had $1,479,418 net trade receivable from this customer as of September 30, 2010. The same major customer accounted for 59% of the net revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The Company had $28,242 accounts receivable from this customer as of September 30, 2009.


A majority of our customers ultimately sell our products to users in Europe which subjects us to a substantial risk of an economic downturn to Europe.





The Company extends credit to its customers based upon its assessment of their credit worthiness and generally does not require collateral. Credit losses have not been significant.





14. Commitments





Consulting agreements





On March 15, 2008, the Company signed a letter of engagement with CCG Investor Relations Partners LLC.  According to the terms of the agreement, CCG agreed to assist the company in the execution of its investor relations strategy. The agreement was for a twelve-month period and the Company agreed to pay $7,000 per month to CCG and issue warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $5 per share. These warrants were recorded at the fair value of $100,796 based on 70% volatility, 4.12% discount rate and 0% annual rate of quarterly dividends.  The Company has been expensing the fair value of these warrants over the term of the agreement.  As of September 1, 2008, we terminated our agreement with CCG Investor Relations Partners LLC. The Company has fully expensed the fair value of these warrants over the term of the agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates





The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company's management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.  Actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences may be material.





Management believes the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, impairment of long-lived assets, foreign currency translation and income taxes. Management considers these critical policies because they are both important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and operating results, and they require management to make judgments and estimates about inherently uncertain matters. The Company's senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures with the Company's Board of Directors.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PLAN OF OPERATION - continued





Revenue recognition





The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB 104), Revenue Recognition (ASC Topic 605).  Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured.  Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.  Unearned revenue as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 amounted to $19,429 and $60,104 respectively.





The Company's revenue consists of invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). No product return or sales discount allowance is made as products delivered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable and sales discount is normally not granted after products are delivered.





Accounts receivable





The Company's policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses for accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had accounts receivable of $846,183 and $205,988, net of allowance of $40,006 and $41,292, respectively.





Inventory valuation





Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value using weighted average method.  Management compares the cost of inventory with its market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its market value, if lower.  The Company recorded $96,372 and $106,901 of inventory valuation reserve for obsolete or slow-moving items as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.





Impairment of long-lived assets





FASB ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” (formerly SFAS No. 144) requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets.  Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.





The Company tests long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets subject to periodic amortization, for recoverability at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value.  Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets.  The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset.  If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value.  The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments.  The Company estimates fair value based upon the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary.  There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.





Foreign currency translation





The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar.  The Company uses its local currency, Renminbi (RMB), as its functional currency.  Results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period.  Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders' equity.  Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PLAN OF OPERATION - continued





Accumulated other comprehensive income amounted to $2,322,221 and $1,960,066 as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  Accumulated other comprehensive income was mainly foreign currency translation adjustments as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.





Income taxes





The Company utilizes FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (formerly SFAS No. 109), which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based upon enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.





RESULTS OF OPERATIONS





We design and manufacture high-precision casting and machined parts based on blueprints supplied by our customers. To set us apart from competition, we streamlined our production cycle by providing a one stop solution which  includes all three integral processes in making high precision parts, namely, molding design and fabrication, high precision investment casting and the CNC machining process. Our products are almost exclusively component parts for use in final products, which are either assembled or manufactured outside China or are manufactured and assembled in China and exported to foreign markets.  Our primary focus during 2010 and 2009 has been to increase demand for our castings and machined parts outside China.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as further set forth below, due to the slow recovery of the worldwide economic slowdown, we expect conservative growth in revenue and will continue to monitor our operating expenditures.





To capitalize on the increased demand for our products prior to 2008, we commenced significant capital expansion and capital improvement efforts, utilizing most of the net proceeds received from our equity financing in 2007 to expand and enhance our manufacturing capabilities. By the end of first quarter ended March 31, 2008, we completed the first phase of the expansion plan. Phase one entailed a 53,819 square foot manufacturing space, 5 turning centers and 60 CNC Mazak Lathe, 19 of which were delivered and became operational in the three months ended December 31, 2007 and the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the last of which became operational on or about April 7, 2008.  All of the new high-precision lathe machines are equal in size and capacity to the Company's existing machines.





In February 2008, we announced that we were planning to invest $3 million to build additional facilities at our Langfang manufacturing center. The new facilities marked the second phase of a multiphase plan to transform the Company’s capacity and capabilities for the foreseeable future. This second phase of our multiphase expansion plan added two buildings totaling approximately 10,916 square meters, increasing annual capacity for casting products by 50% to 3,600 tons from 2,400 tons.


During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, we substantially completed construction of the first building, which is a factory with a workspace of 6,655 square meters.  The factory entails  a 4,500 square meter metal casting shop, a 1,000 square meter electronic shop, a 500 square meter mould shop, and a 600 square meter inventory and assorted sets shop.  The second building is a 4,261 square meter four level staff dormitory which will accommodate 600 staff members.  We substantially completed the construction of the second building during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009.  Both buildings were put in service close to the end of 2009.





As of September 30, 2010, we had 327 full-time employees.  Prior to December 2008, the Company operated with three shifts per day at the factories for seven days each week.  Due to the global economic downturn, in December 2008, the Company reduced shifts to one shift per day.  Starting with the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company has resumed the three-shift working schedule, but reduced the number of machines operated due to a lower headcount.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PLAN OF OPERATION - continued





For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company’s net sales increased approximately 94% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009.





On October 31, 2008, the Board of Directors adopted resolutions authorizing incentive compensation to key members of its management if the Company had $4,000,000 or more in net income for fiscal year 2008, excluding expenses related to the incentive compensation, as reflected in the audited Financial Statements of the Company as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The incentive compensation was to be paid by the issuance of shares of common stock by the Company as follows: (A) 533,333 shares of common stock determined by multiplying the initial $4,000,000 of net income by ten percent and dividing the product by an agreed value of $0.75 per share and (B) such number of additional shares of common stock determined by multiplying the amount of net profit in excess of $4,000,000 by twenty percent and dividing such product by an agreed value of $0.75 per share.  As of December 31, 2009, such shares have been issued.
 
 On September 29, 2009, the Board of Directors adopted resolutions which broadened the scope of the Board of Directors’ resolution dated October 31, 2008 and authorized the Company to provide incentive compensation to key members of its management and also key employees as well as outside consultants who provided services to the Company, as selected and determined by the Board of Directors.  As set forth in the Board of Directors’ resolution dated September 29, 2009, the incentive compensation was to be paid by the issuance of an aggregate of 596,462 shares of common stock of the Company to the individuals and in the amounts as selected and determined by the Board of Directors.  Compensation cost of $316,125 was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2009 at $0.53 per share, the market price of the Company’s common stock on September 29, 2009, the grant date.  As of December 31, 2009, such shares have been issued.


On September 29, 2009, the Board of Directors adopted resolutions approving the Company entering into the Protocol of Cooperation dated April 21, 2009 (the “Protocol”) with Kova Cabride Tools Co. Ltd (“Kova”) and Shih Kung Ho, who introduced Kova to the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 567,100 shares and 128,400 shares of the Company’s common stock to Kova and Shih Kung Ho, respectively.  According to the Protocol, AMLF engaged Kevin Kao, general manager of Kova, as Chief Technical Director with decision-making authority to take charge of production, technology, and quality control of AMLF.  Kova will be responsible for training technicians and inspectors of AMLF, and assist AMLF in obtaining the certificate of aeronautic products.  Kova will also assist AMLF in finding new customers.  Shares were to be issued as restricted shares for which sale or transfer is contractually prohibited and subject to being returned to the Company based on the performance of Kova under the Protocol, 40% of which will become unrestricted two years after issuance, and 20% of which will become unrestricted each year thereafter.  The term of the Protocol is two years and will automatically renew every two years until both AMLF and Kova agree to cease the Protocol.  Deferred service expense of $257,335 was recorded as prepaid expense at $0.37 per share, the market price of the Company’s common stock on April 21, 2009, the measurement date, and amortized throughout the two-year service period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, $96,501 was amortized and recorded as consulting expenses.
 
 On December 16, 2009, the Company repurchased 44,334 shares of common stock from its employees at an aggregate cost of $160,000, pursuant to the Board resolution dated May 5, 2007 that authorized the Company to offer its common stock at $0.02 per share to employees and commit to repurchase from them, provided that the Company did not complete uplisting from the OTC Bulletin Board to one of the national exchanges in two years.  The repurchase price was determined by taking into account the effect of the 1-for-150 reverse stock split effective December 3, 2007, plus accrued interest.  The offer to repurchase shares was only to a specific group of employees and the repurchase price was significantly in excess of the price obtainable in transactions in the open market.  The 44,334 shares were valued at $22,167, or $0.50 per share, the closing price of the Company’s stock traded at the OTC Bulletin Board on December 16, 2009, the repurchase date, and recorded as treasury stock as of December 31, 2009.  The amount of $137,833 in excess of the price obtainable in the open market on the repurchase date was deemed compensation to employees and recorded as compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2009.


On March 11, 2010, the Company repurchased an additional 27,424 shares of common stock from its employees at an aggregate cost of $99,542 pursuant to the same Board resolution and other conditions as described above.  The 27,424 shares were valued at $13,712, or $0.50 per share, the closing price of the Company’s stock traded at the OTC Bulletin Board on March 11, 2010, the repurchase date, and recorded as treasury stock in the first quarter of 2010.  The amount of $85,830 in excess of the price obtainable in the open market on the repurchase date was deemed compensation to employees and recorded as compensation expense during the first quarter of 2010.

Revenue





Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $6,678,408, an increase of 94% as compared to $3,438,920 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, was $2,072,452, or approximately 31% of revenues, compared to $890,444, or 26% of revenues, for the same period in 2009.





Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $2,990,069, an increase of 207% as compared to $972,996 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2010, was $849,467, or approximately 28% of revenues, compared to $199,587, or 21% of revenues, for the same period in 2009.





The increase was primarily due to the the increase in customer orders during the second half of year 2010.  The increase in gross margin was resulted from lower fixed costs per unit allocated to cost of goods sold due to increase in sale orders during the current period as compared to the prior period.





Expenses from Operations





Total expenses, comprised mostly of general and administrative expenses, were $1,213,218 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $199,418 or 14% as compared to $1,412,636 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  Total operating expenses decreased $148,760 or 28% to $373,748 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $522,508 for the same period of the prior year.
 
 The decrease was mainly due to more expenses being allocated to manufacturing cost for the increasing production and sales volume starting in the second half of the year 2010.





Interest Income and Expense





Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $43,006 as compared to $308,198 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, an 86% decrease.  This decrease in interest income was primarily driven by the decreased balance of time deposits during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.


Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $16,185 as compared to $195,300 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, a 92% decrease.  This decrease in interest income was primarily driven by the decreased balance of time deposits during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.





Net Loss





We had net income of $674,068 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to net loss of $619,334 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, a 209% increase.  Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was 462,846 as compared to net loss of $180,351 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, a 357% increase.  The increases in net income during 2010 were mainly driven by the recovery of demand for the company’s products and higher sales orders from customers.








LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES





Our cash and cash equivalents were $4,696,480 at September 30, 2010 as compared to $6,380,208 at December 31, 2009, a 26% decrease.  We experienced increases in net cash used with respect to operating activities and financing activities, and decrease in net cash used in investing activities during the current period.  Throughout the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we met our liquidity needs through the revenue derived pursuant to the sale of our precision metal castings and electronic circuit boards manufactured at facilities controlled by our subsidiary corporations in the People’s Republic of China.





21


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PLAN OF OPERATION - continued





Operating activities





Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $1,564,010 as compared to $1,455,101 of net cash provided for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase in net cash used was mainly due to net increase of $626,645 in accounts receivable for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to net decrease of $2,001,609 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  Net increase of $295,863 in other receivable for the current period as compared to net decrease of $25,472 for the same period prior year, and net increase of $881,029 in trade receivables from related parties, as compared to a net decrease of $1,461 for the same period prior year, also contributed to the higher balance of net cash used.  Such effect was partially offset by net cash used in inventory with net increase of $509,418 for the current period as compared to $976,852 for the same period prior year, as well as net increase of $557,142 in accounts payable for the current period as compared to net decrease of $703,978 for the same period prior year.





Investing activities





Net cash used in investing activities was $215,578 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $853,491 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The decrease in net cash used was mainly due to decrease in net cash paid for purchase of fixed assets.





Financing activities





Net cash used in financing activities was $13,712 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $1,209,532 of net cash use in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The higher balance of net cash used was due to purchase of treasury stocks during the current period.








Ultimately, our success is dependent upon our ability to generate revenues from the sale of precision metal casting and electronic circuit boards manufactured in facilities located in the People’s Republic of China.





Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements





We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.





Material Commitments





None.





Purchase of Significant Equipment

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.





As of September 30, 2010 we have investments of $148,092 in marketable securities.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and 2009, we recorded a net gain of $87,599 and a net loss of ($6,635) from the disposal of such securities, respectively.  Although these investments represent less than one (1%) percent of our total assets, and, accordingly, do not represent a significant component of our assets, there can be no assurance that there will not be significant fluctuations in the equity markets that reduce the value of these investments including, but not limited to, a total loss of the value of these investments.





We require substantial amounts of raw materials in our operations, including metals and energy. We purchase all of our raw materials from outside sources, and our metals purchases are from a select group of suppliers.  As a result, our purchases of metals are concentrated with a few suppliers and any interruptions in their ability to supply these materials could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows. The availability and price of raw materials may also be subject to shortages in supply, suppliers’ allocations to other purchasers, and interruptions in production by suppliers (including by reason of labor strikes or work stoppages at our suppliers’ plants).  In addition, although we are subject to changes in exchange rates and worldwide price levels of raw materials, our contracts with our suppliers provide that we are not responsible for any 3-5% increase in commodity prices, including price increases resulting from currency fluctuations.  Our management has in the past and intends in the future to pass any additional increases in price to our customers.





Our subsidiary corporations in the People’s Republic of China conduct business in the local currency and therefore, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk resulting from fluctuations in foreign currencies. This risk could adversely impact our results and financial condition. We believe our current exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is immaterial, based upon the aforementioned provisions with respect to price increases found in our contracts with our suppliers. We have not entered into any foreign currency exchange and option contracts to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk and the corresponding variability in operating results as a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.





ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES





Our principal executive and financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (ii) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.





There have been no changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could materially affect, or were reasonable likely to materially affect these controls during or subsequent to the nine months ended September 30, 2010.





PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
