Explanatory Note

China Recycling Energy Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 6, 2008 (the “Original Form 10-Q”), to restate our consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. In addition, we are concurrently filing Forms 10-Q/A to restate our consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended each of June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2009.  We are also concurrently filing Form 10-K/A to restate our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
The accounting issues that resulted in misstatements in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2008, September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009 relate to (i) the reclassification of current tax payable to deferred tax liability on the Company’s sales-type leases, as the Company did not separately record the deferred tax liability; (ii) the expensing of the unamortized amount of the beneficial conversion feature in connection with the 2008 amendment of a convertible note that was issued by the Company to certain investors in 2007; (iii) the reclassification of interest expense from interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2008; and (iv) the reclassification of 3,000,000 stock options under the Company’s 2007 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan from the fair value of the options as a liability to equity recorded as additional paid in capital.  See Note 22 to our consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1 of Part I of this report for more information regarding the restatement and details of the impact of the restatement on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
 
In connection with the restatement, our management has re-evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2008.  See Item 4T of Part I of this report for further discussions on these matters.
 
Item 6 of Part II of this report has been revised to contain the currently-dated certifications from our principal executive officer and chief accounting officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
 
Because this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the Original Form 10-Q in its entirety, it includes items that have been changed as a result of the restatement and items that are unchanged from the Original Form 10-Q. Other than the revising of the disclosures relating to the restatement, this Form 10-Q/A speaks as of the original filing date of the Original Form 10-Q and has not been updated to reflect other events occurring subsequent to the original filing date. This includes forward-looking statements and all other sections of this Form 10-Q/A that were not directly impacted by the restatement, which should be read in their historical context. This Form 10-Q/A also should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007. The following items have been amended as a result of the restatement:

Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements;
Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;
Part I, Item 4T. Controls and Procedures; and
Part II, Item 6. Exhibits.

CHINA RECYCLING ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2007

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

China Recycling Energy Corporation (the “Company” or “CREG”) (formerly China Digital Wireless, Inc.) was incorporated on May 8, 1980, under the laws of the State of Colorado. On September 6, 2001, the Company re-domiciled its state of incorporation from Colorado to Nevada. The Company, through its subsidiary, Shanghai TCH Data Technology Co., Ltd (“TCH”), sells and leases energy saving equipment. The businesses of mobile phone distribution and provision of pager and mobile phone value-added information services were discontinued in 2007. On March 8, 2007, the Company changed its name to “China Recycling Energy Corporation”.

Since January 2007, the Company has gradually phased out and substantially scaled down most of its business of mobile phone distribution and provision of pager and mobile phone value-added information services. In the first and second quarters of 2007, the Company did not engage in any substantial transactions or activity in connection to these businesses. On May 10, 2007, the Company ceased and discontinued the businesses related to mobile phones and pages. These businesses are reflected in continuing operations for all periods presented based on the criteria for discontinued operations prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS 144”).

On February 1, 2007, the Company’s subsidiary, TCH, entered into two TRT Project Joint-Operation Agreements (“Joint-Operation Agreement”) with Xi’an Yingfeng Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (“Yingfeng”). TRT is an electricity generating system that utilizes the exhaust pressure and heat produced in the blast furnace of a steel mill to generate electricity. Yingfeng is a joint stock company registered in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, Peoples Republic of China (the “PRC”), and engages in the business of designing, installing, and operating TRT systems and sales of other renewable energy products. In October 2007, the Company terminated the joint operation agreement with Yingfeng and became fully entitled to the rights, titles, benefits and interests in the TRT Projects.

Under the Joint-Operation Agreement, TCH and Yingfeng jointly operated a top gas recovery turbine project (“TRT Project”) which designed, constructed, installed and operated a TRT system and leased it to Zhangzhi Iron and Steel Holdings Ltd. (“Zhangzhi”). The total investment costs contributed by TCH were approximately $1,426,000 (equivalent to Renminbi (“RMB”) 10,690,000). TCH provided various forms of investments and properties into the TRT Project including cash, hardware, software, equipment, major components and devices. The construction of the TRT Project was completed and put into operation in August 2007. In October 2007, the Company terminated the Joint-Operation Agreement with Yingfeng. TCH became entitled to the rights, titles, benefits and interests in the TRT Project and receives monthly rental payments of approximately $147,000 (equivalent to RMB 1,100,000) from Zhangzhi for a lease term of thirteen years. At the end of the lease term, TCH will transfer the rights and titles of the TRT Project to Zhangzhi without cost.

Under another Joint-Operation Agreement, TCH and Yingfeng jointly operated a TRT Project which designed, constructed, installed and operated a TRT system and lease to Xingtai Iron and Steel Company Ltd. (“Xingtai”). TCH provided various forms of investments and properties into the TRT Project including cash, hardware, software, equipment, major components and devices. The total estimated investment costs of this TRT Project were approximately $3,900,000 (equivalent to RMB 30,000,000). The construction of the TRT Project was completed and put into operation in February 2007. In October 2007, the Company terminated the Joint-Operation Agreement with Yingfeng. TCH became fully entitled to all the rights, titles, benefits and interests of the TRT Project and receives monthly rental payments of approximately $117,000 (equivalent to RMB 900,000) from Xingtai for a lease term of five years. At the end of the lease term, TCH will transfer all the rights and titles of the TRT Project to Xingtai without cost.

On September 21, 2007, the Company’s subsidiary, TCH changed its name to “Shanghai TCH Energy Technology Co., Ltd.”

Except as indicated, amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements or the notes thereto relate to our continuing operations.

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on managements’ assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment. As of each of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had accounts receivable of $0.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable and other receivables. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of its clients' financial condition and customer payment practices to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.

The operations of the Company are located 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, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost of work in progress and finished goods comprises direct material cost, direct production cost and an allocated portion of production overheads (See Note 6).

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated lives ranging from 5 to 20 years as follows:

Building
20 years
Vehicle
2 - 5 years
Office and Other Equipment
2 - 5 years
Software
2 - 3 years

Impairment of long-life assets

In accordance with SFAS 144, the Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. There has been no impairment as of September 30, 2008.

Sales-type leasing and related revenue recognition

The Company leases TRT systems to Xingtai and Zhangzhi. The Company will transfer all benefits, risks and ownership of the TRT systems to Xingtai and Zhangzhi at the end of each lease term. The Company’s investment in these projects is recorded as investment in sales-type leases in accordance with SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” and its various amendments and interpretations. The sales and cost of goods sold are recognized at the point of sale. The investment in sales-type leases consists of the sum of the total minimum lease payments receivable less unearned interest income. Unearned interest income is amortized to income over the lease term as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the lease.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of the purchase price of the two TRT machines, expenses incurred directly for project construction, and rental expenses for two power generation equipment leases.

Income taxes

The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” 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.

The Company does not have any significant deferred tax asset or liability that related to tax jurisdictions not covered by the tax holiday provided by Tax Bureau of the PRC.

The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company made a comprehensive review of its portfolio of tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by FIN 48. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized no material adjustments to liabilities or stockholders equity. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Statement of cash flows

In accordance with SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Fair value of financial instruments

SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS)

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed similar to basic net income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted net earnings per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding did not include estimated shares upon conversion of the Second Note issued on Apr 29, 2008 as the number of such shares cannot be determined based on the conversion formula.

Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company’s functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”). For financial reporting purposes, RMB has been translated into United States dollars (“USD”) as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders' equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income”. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income. There has been no significant fluctuation in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.

The Company uses SFAS 130 “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders.

Segment Reporting

SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” requires 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. SFAS 131 has no effect on the Company's financial statements as substantially all of the Company's operations are conducted in one industry segment. All of the Company's assets are located in the PRC.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the manner of presentation in the current year.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.”  The scope of this Statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of Statement 60. Accordingly, this Statement does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables). This Statement also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”  This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States.  This Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 133”).  This Statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

Business Combinations

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R will significantly change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS 141R will change the accounting treatment for certain specific items, including:

 
·
Acquisition costs will be generally expensed as incurred;
     
 
·
Noncontrolling interests (formerly known as “minority interests” - see SFAS 160 discussion above) will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date;
     
 
·
Acquired contingent liabilities will be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently measured at either the higher of such amount or the amount determined under existing guidance for non-acquired contingencies;
     
 
·
In-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date;
     
 
·
Restructuring costs associated with a business combination will be generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and
     
 
·
Changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense.

SFAS 141R also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to 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, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. Accordingly, since we are a calendar year-end company, we will continue to record and disclose business combinations following existing GAAP until January 1, 2009. We expect SFAS 141R will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions at that time.

Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R” (“SFAS 158”), which requires employers to recognize the underfunded or overfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income. Additionally, SFAS 158 requires employers to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. The new reporting requirements and related new footnote disclosure rules of SFAS 158 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 158 for the year end 2006, and the effect of recognizing the funded status in accumulated other comprehensive income was not significant. The new measurement date requirement applies for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008.

5. PREPAID EQUIPMENT RENT FOR OPERATING LEASES

On April 10, 2008, the Company leased energy recycling power generation equipment for operating under a one-year, non-cancellable lease for the amount of approximately $4,455,000 (RMB 31,000,000). At the end of this one-year lease term, the Company has the right to renew the lease for another four-year term at an aggregate price of approximately $10,940,000 (RMB 75,000,000) with a separate agreement. The lease payment of approximately $4,455,000 has been paid in full.

On the same day, the Company entered into a leasing agreement with a lessee to lease out the above power generation equipment under a one-year, non-cancellable lease for the lease payment of approximately $583,000 (RMB 4,000,000) per month with the option to renew. The lessee will pay a lower monthly lease payment of approximately $486,000 (RMB 3,333,000) under the circumstance that the Company renews the lease of the equipment from the ultimate lessor after one year.

On May 21, 2008, the Company leased energy recycling power generation equipment from the same lessor for operating under a one-year, non-cancellable lease for the amount of approximately $6,560,000 (RMB 45,000,000). At the end of the one-year lease term, the Company has the right to renew the lease for another four-year term at an aggregate price of approximately $17,500,000 (RMB 120,000,000) with a separate agreement. The lease payment of approximately $6,560,000 has been paid in full.

14. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Since January 2007, the Company has gradually phased out and substantially scaled down most of its business of mobile phone distribution and provision of pager and mobile phone value-added information services. In the first and second quarters of 2007, the Company did not engage in any substantial transactions or activity in connection with these businesses. On May 10, 2007, the Company ceased and discontinued these businesses. Accordingly, the results of the discontinued operations have been segregated from continuing operations. The discontinued operations had an income of $28,457 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The income represented the write down of deferred revenue generated from the provision of pager value-added information services.

15. INCOME TAX

Effective January 1, 2008, the PRC government implemented a new corporate income tax law with a new maximum corporate income tax rate of 25%. The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning privately-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at a statutory rate of 25% (33% prior to 2008) on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments.

The Company’s subsidiaries generated substantially all of its net income from its PRC operation. Shanghai TCH’s effective income tax rates for 2008 and 2007 are 18% and 15%, respectively. Xi’an TCH’s effective income tax rate for 2008 is 25%. Shanghai TCH and its subsidiaries Xi’an TCH and Xingtai Huaxin filed separate income tax returns.

There is no income tax for companies domiciled in the Cayman Islands. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements do not present any income tax provisions related to Cayman Islands tax jurisdiction where Sifang Holding is domiciled. The parent company, China Recycling Energy Co., Ltd., is taxed in the US and has a net operating loss for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2008. A 100% valuation allowance has been established due to the uncertainty of its realization.

 
15

 

For the nine and three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s effective income tax rate differs from the US statutory rate because of the effect of the tax holiday, effect of tax on loss on nontaxable jurisdiction and valuation allowance.

16. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

On November 16, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock and Notes Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Carlyle Asia Growth Partners III, L.P. (“CAGP”) and CAGP III Co. Investment, L.P. (together with CAGP, the “Investors”). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to the Investors a 10% Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “First Note”). Additionally, the Purchase Agreement provides for two subsequent transactions to be effected by the Company and the Investors, which include (i) the issuance by the Company and subscription by the Investors of a total of 4,066,706 shares of common stock of Company, at the price of $1.23 per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5,000,000, and (ii) the issuance and sale by the Company to the Investors of a 5% Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $15,000,000 (the foregoing transactions, together with sale and purchase of the First Note, are hereinafter referred to as the “Offering”). The subsequent transactions are contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the Purchase Agreement, including entry into specified energy and recycling project contracts and the purchase of certain energy recycling systems.
 
The First Note bore interest at 10% per annum and matured on November 16, 2009. The principal face amount of the First Note, together with any interest thereon was convertible at the option of the holders at any time on or prior to maturity, into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.23 per share (subject to anti-dilution adjustments). The First Note was subject to mandatory conversion upon the consummation of the aforementioned issuance and subscription of shares of the Company’s common stock under the Purchase Agreement. As more fully described in the First Note, the obligations of the Company under the First Note ranked senior to all other debt of the Company.
 
As collateral for the First Note, the President and a major shareholder of the Company pledged 9,653,471 shares of the Company’s common stock held by him to secure the First Note.
 
The First Note was considered to have an embedded beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) because the conversion price was less than the quoted market price at the time of the issuance. Accordingly, the BCF of $5,000,000 was recorded separately as unamortized beneficial conversion feature based on the intrinsic value method. The First Note was recorded in the balance sheet at face value less the unamortized BCF. The terms for the First Note were amended on April 29, 2008 and the First Note was repaid in full on June 25, 2008, as described below.
 
On April 29, 2008, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Purchase Agreement with the Investors (the “Amendment”). Under the terms of the Amendment, (i) the Company issued and the Investors subscribed for 4,066,706 shares of common stock of the Company, at $1.23 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $5,002,048, as originally contemplated under the Agreement; (ii) the Investors converted the principal amount under the First Note (and waived any accrued interest thereon) into 4,065,040 shares of common stock of the Company at the conversion price per share of $1.23, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the First Note issued under the Agreement; (iii) the Company issued and sold to the Investors a new 5% Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 to the Investors (the “Second Note” and collectively with the First Note, the “Notes”); and (iv) the Company granted to the Investors an option to purchase a 5% Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $10,000,000, exercisable by the Investors at any time within nine (9) months following the date of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Amendment (the “Option Note”).
 
The Second Note bears interest at 5% per annum and matures on April 29, 2011. The principal face amount of the Second Note, together with any interest thereon, is convertible at the option of the holders at any time on or after March 30, 2010 (or such earlier date if the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 are available prior to March 30, 2010) and prior to maturity, into shares of the Company's common stock at an initial conversion price that is tied to the after-tax net profits of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, as described in the Second Note. The Second Note is subject to mandatory conversion upon the listing of the Company's common stock on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations main-board, the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange. As more fully described in the Second Note, the obligations of the Company under the Second Note shall rank senior to all other debt of the Company.

The Second Note and the Option Note are both secured by a security interest granted to the Investors pursuant to the Share Pledge Agreement.

 
16

 

The Second Note was not considered to have an embedded BCF because the conversion price and convertible shares are contingent upon future net profits.
 
On June 25, 2008, the Company and the Investors entered into a Rescission and Subscription Agreement (the “Rescission”) to rescind the conversion of the First Note and the issuance of conversion shares of Common Stock at the Second Closing pursuant to the Amendment. The Company and the Investors rescinded the conversion of the principal amount ($5,000,000) under the First Note into 4,065,040 shares of Common Stock, and the Investors waived accrued interest on the First Note. Accordingly, the interest expense which had accrued on the note has been recorded as a decrease in interest expense for the period. At the Rescission closing, the Company repaid in full the First Note and issued to the Investors 4,065,040 shares of Common Stock at the price of $1.23 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000.  This was done through a cross receipt arrangement; the amortized portion of BCF was reversed to additional paid in stock.  The Company has now concluded that in substance the transaction resulted in the conversion of the first $5,000,000 note into common stock and that the remaining BCF of $3,472,603 at the date of conversion should have been expensed (see Note 22).

17. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

On November 13, 2007, the Company approved the 2007 Non-statutory Stock Option Plan, which was later amended and restated in August 2008 (the “2007 Plan”), and granted stock options with an aggregate amount of 3,000,000 shares of the stock at $1.23 per share to acquire the Company's common stock at par value $0.001 to twenty (20) managerial and non-managerial employees under the 2007 Plan.
 
The vesting terms of options granted under the 2007 Plan is subject to the Non-Statutory Stock Option Agreements for managerial and non-managerial employees. For managerial employees, no more than 15% of the total stock options shall vest and become exercisable on the six month anniversary of the grant date. An additional 15% and 50% of the total stock options shall vest and become exercisable on the first and second year anniversary of the grant date, respectively. The remaining 20% of the total stock options shall vest and become exercisable on the third year anniversary of the grant date. For non-managerial employees, no more than 30% of the total stock options shall vest and become exercisable in the first year anniversary of the grant date. An additional 50% of the total stock options shall vest and become exercisable in the second year anniversary of the grant date. The remaining 20% of the total stock options shall vest and become exercisable on the third year anniversary of the grant date. Each stock option shall become vested and exercisable over a period of no longer than five years from the grant date.
 
Based on the fair value method under SFAS No. 123 (Revised) “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), the fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model has assumptions for risk free interest rates, dividends, stock volatility and expected life of an option grant. The risk free interest rate is based upon market yields for United States Treasury debt securities at a maturity near the term remaining on the option. Dividend rates are based on the Company’s dividend history. The stock volatility factor is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. The expected life of an option grant is based on management’s estimate as no options have been exercised in the Plan to date. The fair value of each option grant to employees is calculated by the Black-Scholes method and is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of each stock option award. For stock options issued, the fair value was estimated at the date of grant using the following range of assumptions:
 
The options vest over a period of three years and have a life of 5 years. The fair value of the options was calculated using the following assumptions: estimated life of five years, volatility of 100%, risk free interest rate of 3.76%, and dividend yield of 0%. No estimate of forfeitures was made as the Company has a short history of granting options.
 
Effective June 25, 2008, the Company cancelled all vested shares and accepted optionees’ forfeiture of any unvested shares underlying the currently outstanding options.
 
On August 4, 2008, the Company granted stock options to acquire an aggregate amount of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001, at $0.80 per share to 17 employees under the 2007 Plan. The new awards were considered as replacement awards and were recorded in accordance with SFAS 123(R).The options vest over a period of three years and have a life of 5 years. The fair value of the options was calculated using the following assumptions: estimated life of five years, volatility of 100%, risk free interest rate of 2.76%, and dividend yield of 0%. No estimate of forfeitures was made as the Company has a short history of granting options. The options have been accounted for as a modification to the options which were cancelled on June 25, 2008 (see Note 22).

19. STATUTORY RESERVES

Pursuant to the new corporate law of the PRC effective January 1, 2006, the Company is now only required to maintain one statutory reserve by appropriating from its after-tax profit before declaration or payment of dividends. The statutory reserve represents restricted retained earnings.

Surplus Reserve Fund

The Company is required to transfer 10% of its net income, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the Company’s registered capital.

 
18

 

The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issuance is not less than 25% of the registered capital.

Common Welfare Fund

The common welfare fund is a voluntary fund that the Company can elect to transfer 5% to 10% of its net income to this fund. This fund can only be utilized on capital items for the collective benefit of the Company’s employees, such as construction of dormitories, cafeteria facilities, and other staff welfare facilities. This fund is non-distributable other than upon liquidation.

20. CONTINGENCIES

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.

The Company’s sales, purchases and expenses transactions are denominated in RMB and all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are also denominated in RMB. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies under the current law. In China, foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions. Remittances in currencies other than RMB may require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.

21. COMMITMENTS

Zhangzhi Steel New blast furnace TRT Power Generator Project

On November 11, 2007, the Company entered a Project General Contractor agreement with an independent contractor under contemplation to construct a 1080 cubic meter blast furnace for the third phase of Zhangzhi TRT project which was originally signed on June 22, 2006. The total contract price is approximately $4,375,000 (RMB 30,000,000); the Company has paid approximately $2,625,000 (RMB 18,000,000) for the purchase of equipment. This project is expected to produce 45,000,000 KW/h annual energy output upon completion.

Shenwei Cement Pure Low Temperature Waste Heat Power Generator Project

In November 2007, the Company signed a cooperative agreement with Shenwei Group for a Cement Waste Heat Power Generator Project. The Company will build two sets of 12MW pure low temp cement waste heat power generator systems for its two 2500 tons per day cement manufacturing lines in Jin Yang and a 5,000 tons per day cement manufacturing line in Tong Chuan. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company finished the equipment bidding process, selecting the equipment, and commenced construction of the systems. Total investment will be approximately $12,593,000 (93 million RMB) with estimated annual power generated capacity of 180 million KWH once the two systems are put into operation. The Company will use the BOT (build, operate, transfer) model to build and operate the systems. The operation period will be 5 years. During the operation period, Shenwei Group will pay the Company the monthly electricity fee based on the actual power generated by the systems at 0.4116 RMB per KWH as agreed.

22. RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The financial statements for the date at September 30, 2008 and for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2008 were restated to reflect the following:
 
 
1.
Reclassification of current tax payable to deferred tax of liability of $357,751 on sales-type leases as the Company did not separately record the deferred tax liability.

 
2.
The Company initially recorded the rescission of the first $5,000,000 convertible note and cross receipt transactions as the settlement of the note and the reacquisition of the BCF (Note 16).  The Company’s management has now concluded that in substance the transaction resulted in the conversion of the first $5,000,000 note into common stock and based on substance over form, should have been accounted for as such.  Accordingly, in accordance with EITF 00-27, the remaining BCF of $3,472,603 at the date of conversion has been expensed.

 
19

 

 
3.
The accounting for the options forfeited and cancelled on June 25, 2008 and the subsequent reissuance on August 4, 2008.  The Company originally recorded the employee stock options expense for those options that had vested up to the cancellation date.  The Company’s management has now concluded that the options subsequently issued on August 4, 2008 was a modification of the options cancelled and forfeited on June 25, 2008.  Accordingly, the Company recorded the difference between the fair values of the options before and after the modification date as incremental cost and amortized such cost including the unamortized grant date fair value over the new vesting period.

All the restatement adjustments did not have an impact to the statement of cash flows except the reclassification within the operating activities.

See “Exchange Rates” below for information concerning the exchange rates at which Renminbi (“RMB”) were translated into US Dollars (“USD”) at various pertinent dates and for pertinent periods.

OVERVIEW OF BUSINESS BACKGROUND

China Recycling Energy Corporation (the “Company” or “CREG”) (formerly China Digital Wireless, Inc.) was incorporated on May 8, 1980, under the laws of the State of Colorado. On September 6, 2001, the Company re-domiciled its state of incorporation from Colorado to Nevada. The Company, through its subsidiary Shanghai TCH Data Technology Co., Ltd. (“TCH”), is doing the business of selling and leasing energy saving equipment. The businesses of mobile phone distribution and provision of pager and mobile phone value-added information services were discontinued in 2007. On March 8, 2007, the Company changed its name to “China Recycling Energy Corporation”.

On June 23, 2004, the Company entered into a stock exchange agreement with Sifang Holdings Co. Ltd. (“Sifang Holdings”) and certain shareholders. Pursuant to the stock exchange agreement, the Company issued 13,782,636 shares of its common stock in exchange for a 100% equity interest in Sifang Holdings, making Sifang Holdings a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Sifang Holdings was established under the laws of the Cayman Islands on February 9, 2004 for the purpose of holding a 100% equity interest in Shanghai TCH Data Technology Co., Ltd. (“TCH”). TCH was established as a foreign investment enterprise in Shanghai under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on May 25, 2004. Since January 2007, the Company has gradually phased out and substantially scaled down most of its business of mobile phone distribution and provision of pager and mobile phone value-added information services. In the first and second quarters of 2007, the Company did not engage in any substantial transactions or activity in connection with these businesses. On May 10, 2007, the Company ceased and discontinued the businesses related to mobile phones and pagers. These businesses are reflected in continuing operations for all periods presented based on the criteria for discontinued operations prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.

On February 1, 2007, the Company’s subsidiary, TCH entered into two TRT Project Joint-Operation Agreements (“Joint-Operation Agreement”) with Xi’an Yingfeng Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (“Yingfeng”). Yingfeng is a joint stock company registered in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, the PRC, and engages in the business of designing, installing, and operating TRT systems and sales of other renewable energy products. TRT is an electricity generating system that utilizes the exhaust pressure and heat produced in the blast furnace of a steel mill to generate electricity. In October 2007, the Company terminated the Joint-Operation Agreement with Yingfeng and became fully entitled to the rights, titles, benefits and interests in the TRT Projects.

 
22

 

On September 21, 2007, the Company’s subsidiary, TCH changed its name to “Shanghai TCH Energy Technology Co., Ltd.”

During the second quarter of 2008, the Company leased two energy recycling power generation equipment systems under one-year, non-cancellable leases with the rents paid in full; at the same time, the Company leased this equipment out for higher rental income under one-year, non-cancellable leases.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.

Basis of presentation

These accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for annual financial statements.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CREG and, its subsidiaries, Sifang Holdings, TCH, and TCH’s newly incorporated subsidiaries Xi’an TCH and Huaxin. Xi’an TCH and Huaxin engage in the same business as TCH. Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from the operations of TCH and its subsidiaries, which represent substantially all of the Company’s consolidated assets and liabilities. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the year reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Accounts receivable and concentration of credit risk

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on managements’ assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable and other receivables. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of its clients' financial condition and customer payment practices to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.

The operations of the Company are located 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, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy.

 
23

 

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost of work in progress and finished goods comprises direct material cost, direct production cost and an allocated portion of production overheads.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated lives ranging from 5 to 20 years as follows:

Building
20 years
Vehicle
2 - 5 years
Office and Other Equipment
2 - 5 years
Software
2 - 3 years

Sales-type leasing and related revenue recognition

The Company invests and leases TRT systems to Xingtai and Zhangzhi. The Company will transfer all benefits, risks and ownership of the TRT systems to Xingtai and Zhangzhi at the end of each lease term. The Company’s investment in these projects is recorded as sales-type leases in accordance with SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” and its various amendments and interpretations. The sales and cost of goods sold is recognized at the point of sale. The investment in sales-type leases consists of the sum of the total minimum lease payments receivable less unearned interest income. Unearned interest income is amortized to income over the lease term as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the lease.

Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company’s functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”). For financial reporting purposes, RMB has been translated into United States dollars (“USD”) as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders' equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income”. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income. There has been no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.

The Company uses SFAS 130 “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.”  The scope of this Statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of Statement 60. Accordingly, this Statement does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables). This Statement also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 
24

 

The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”  This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with US GAAP.  This Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 133”).  This Statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

Business Combinations

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R will significantly change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS 141R will change the accounting treatment for certain specific items, including:

 
·
Acquisition costs will be generally expensed as incurred;
     
 
·
Noncontrolling interests (formerly known as “minority interests” - see SFAS 160 discussion above) will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date;
     
 
·
Acquired contingent liabilities will be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently measured at either the higher of such amount or the amount determined under existing guidance for non-acquired contingencies;
     
 
·
In-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date;
     
 
·
Restructuring costs associated with a business combination will be generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and
     
 
·
Changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense.

 
25

 

SFAS 141R also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to 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, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. Accordingly, since we are a calendar year-end company we will continue to record and disclose business combinations following existing GAAP until January 1, 2009. We expect SFAS 141R will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions at that time.

Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R” (“SFAS 158”), which requires employers to recognize the underfunded or overfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income. Additionally, SFAS 158 requires employers to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. The new reporting requirements and related new footnote disclosure rules of SFAS 158 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 158 for the year end 2006, and the effect of recognizing the funded status in accumulated other comprehensive income was not significant. The new measurement date requirement applies for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008.

SALES. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $6.88 million while our net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were approximately $9.08 million, a decrease in revenues of $2.2 million. The decrease was due to changing of our business type during 2007. We discontinued our mobile phone business and commenced the selling, manufacturing and construction of energy saving systems during 2007. We sell our systems through sales-type leasing. Sales and cost of sales are recorded at the time of leasing; the interest income from the sales-type leasing is our major revenue source in addition to the sales revenue. We sold two TRT systems through sales-type leasing during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, while we had interest income of $1.7 million from sales-type leasing and rental income of $6.88 million from leasing out two power generating systems for the same period of 2008.

COST OF SALES. Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $4.81 million while our cost of sales for the same period of 2007 was approximately $6.98 million, a decrease of $2.17 million. The decrease in cost of sales is attributed to changing our business type from a mobile phone business to manufacturing, selling, constructing and leasing the energy saving systems in 2007. We leased two power generating systems under one-year, non-cancellable leases with options to renew at a favorable price during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. We paid the lease payments in full and leased the equipment out for higher monthly rental income under one-year, non-cancellable lease.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit was $2.07 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $2.09 million for the same period of 2007, representing gross margins of approximately 30% and 23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in our gross profit was mainly due to a decreased cost of sales derived from changing our business type from a mobile phone business to manufacturing, selling, constructing and leasing the energy saving systems during 2007. We sold two TRT systems through sales-type leasing with gross profit recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, while we had interest income from sales-type leasing and rental income for the same period of 2008.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income was $3.78 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 while our operating income for the same period of 2007 was $2.57 million, an increase of $1.21 million. The growth in operating income was mainly due to (i) changing of our business type and (ii) commencing selling and leasing our energy saving systems through sales-type leasing. Two TRT systems sold since the inception of sales-type leases in 2007 now generate additional interest income. Interest income on sales-type lease over the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $1.72 million, an approximately $1.25 million increase from $473,000 for the same period of 2007.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses consisted of selling, general and administrative expenses totaling approximately $2.54 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $0.36 million for the same period of 2007, an increase of approximately $2.18 million or 494%. This increase was mainly due to the compensation expense of approximately $1.13 million related to the fair value of the stock options to employees, and increased payroll, marketing and traveling expense due to the expansion of our business.

NET INCOME (LOSS). Our net income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $(4,346,502) as compared to $2,048,565 net income for the same period of 2007, a decrease of $6.39 million. This decrease in net income was mainly due to interest expense on our amortized beneficial conversion feature for the convertible note of approximately $4.68 million and compensation expense of the fair value of stock options of $1.13 million for nine months ended September 30, 2008. The convertible note that was issued on November 16, 2007 was repaid on June 25, 2008 and all the vested and non-vested options that were granted on November 13, 2007 were modified on June 25, 2008, but reissued on August 4, 2008.

SALES. Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 were $4.26 million while our net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, were $4.29 million, a decrease in revenues of $35,029. The decrease was due to changing our business type during 2007. We discontinued our mobile phone business and commenced selling, manufacturing and construction of energy saving systems during 2007. We sell our systems through sales-type leasing. Sales and cost of sales are recorded at the time of leasing; the interest income from the sales-type leasing is our major revenue source in addition to the sales revenue. We sold one TRT system through sales-type leasing during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 which brought us both gross sales and interest income for the third quarter of 2007, while we had interest income from sales-type leasing and rental income from operating lease during the third quarter ended September 30, 2008.

COST OF SALES. Cost of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 was $2.98 million while our cost of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was $3.3 million, a decrease of $0.32 million. The decrease in cost of sales is attributed to changing our business type from a mobile phone business to manufacturing, selling, constructing and leasing the energy saving systems in 2007. We leased two power generating systems under one-year, non-cancellable leases with options to renew at favorable prices, we paid the lease payments in full and lease them out for higher monthly rental income under one-year, non-cancellable leases. The cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was only the amortization of the prepaid leasing expense while the cost of sales was only the cost of manufacturing and selling a TRT system through the sales-type leasing for the same period of 2007.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit was $1.28 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $0.99 million gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, representing gross margins of approximately 30% and 23% for the third quarter ended 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in our gross profit was mainly due to changing our business type from a mobile phone business to manufacturing, selling, constructing and leasing the energy saving systems in 2007. We sold one TRT system through sales-type leasing during the third quarter of 2007, which resulted in a lower gross profit, while we had rental income from operating leasing with higher gross profit margin for the same period of 2008.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income was $1.86 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, while our operating income for the same period of 2007 was $1.27 million, an increase of $0.59 million. The growth in operating income was mainly due to the increase of $290,000 in gross profit and the increase of $300,000 in interest income on sales-type lease over the same three months ended September 30 between 2008 and 2007.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses consisted of selling, general and administrative expenses totaling approximately $1,039,784 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $15,183 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, an increase of approximately $1.02 million. This increase was mainly due to increased payroll, marketing, traveling and consulting expenses associated with expanding our business by getting more leasing and project contracts as well as amortized compensation expenses for employee stock options of approximately $496,000.

NET INCOME (LOSS). Our net income (loss) for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 was $331,677 as compared to $1,069,947 net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $738,270. This decrease in net income was mainly due to interest expense on our convertible note of approximately $105,000, compensation expenses of $496,615 for employee stock options and increased operating expense due to expansion of our business.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to nine months ended September 30, 2007

As of September 30, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,705,940. At September 30, 2008, other current assets consisted of approximately $19.5 million and current liabilities consisted of approximately $11.2 million, working capital amounted to $10.03 million at September 30, 2008. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.9:1 at the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
 
The following is a summary of cash provided by or used in each of the indicated types of activities during nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:

Net cash flow used in operating activities was $4.46 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $8.28 million cash inflow in same period of 2007. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was mainly due to the net loss for the period, decrease in accounts payable, and prepaid equipment rents.

Net cash flow used in investing activities was $10.19 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $8.59 million net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase of net cash flow used in investing activities was mainly due to the acquisition of equipment of $113,906 and payment for construction in progress of approximately $9.99 million for constructing a power generating system. We will use the BOT (build, operate, transfer) model to build and operate a system and charge the user of this system monthly electricity fees based on the actual power generated by the systems.

Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $14.39 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $48,015 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase of net cash flow provided by financing activities was mainly due to the issuance of common stock to an accredited investor for $5 million, issuance of a convertible note to the same investor for $5 million, and issuance of common stock to one of our major shareholders for $4,032,258.

We believe we have sufficient cash to continue our current business throughout September of 2009 due to increased sales, interest revenue and rental income from operating activity.

We do not believe that inflation had a significant negative impact on our results of operations during 2008.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Contractual Obligations

Restricted Cash in Bank

During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we issued a bank acceptance to our vendor in the amount of approximately $440,000 (RMB 3,000,000); the bank acceptance has a term of three months. We deposited the same amount of cash in the bank to secure the payment of this bank acceptance.

In September of 2008, we entered into a contract to install a 7-Megawatt capacity electricity-generation system for a world-class nickel-iron manufacturing company. We deposited approximately $403,000 (RMB 2,750,000) into the bank to secure the execution of this contract.

Convertible Notes Payable
 
On November 16, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock and Notes Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Carlyle Asia Growth Partners III, L.P. (“CAGP”) and CAGP III Co. Investment, L.P. (together with CAGP, the “Investors”). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to the Investors a 10% Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “First Note”). Additionally, the Purchase Agreement provides for two subsequent transactions to be effected by the Company and the Investors, which include (i) the issuance by the Company and subscription by the Investors of a total of 4,066,706 shares of common stock of Company, at the price of $1.23 per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5,000,000, and (ii) the issuance and sale by the Company to the Investors of a 5% Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $15,000,000 (the foregoing transactions, together with sale and purchase of the First Note, are hereinafter referred to as the “Offering”). The subsequent transactions are contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the Purchase Agreement, including entry into specified energy and recycling project contracts and the purchase of certain energy recycling systems.

 
29

 

The First Note bore interest at 10% per annum and matured on November 16, 2009. The principal face amount of the First Note, together with any interest thereon was convertible at the option of the holders at any time on or prior to maturity, into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.23 per share (subject to anti-dilution adjustments). The First Note was subject to mandatory conversion upon the consummation of the aforementioned issuance and subscription of shares of the Company’s common stock under the Purchase Agreement. As more fully described in the First Note, the obligations of the Company under the First Note ranked senior to all other debt of the Company.
 
As collateral for the First Note, the President and a major shareholder of the Company pledged 9,653,471 shares of the Company’s common stock held by him to secure the First Note.
 
The First Note was considered to have an embedded beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) because the conversion price was less than the quoted market price at the time of the issuance. Accordingly, the BCF of $5,000,000 was recorded separately as unamortized beneficial conversion feature based on the intrinsic value method. The First Note was recorded in the balance sheet at face value less the unamortized BCF. The terms for the First Note were amended on April 29, 2008 and the First Note was repaid in full on June 25, 2008, as described below.
 
On April 29, 2008, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Purchase Agreement with the Investors (the “Amendment”). Under the terms of the Amendment, (i) the Company issued and the Investors subscribed for 4,066,706 shares of common stock of the Company, at $1.23 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $5,002,048, as originally contemplated under the Agreement; (ii) the Investors converted the principal amount under the First Note (and waived any accrued interest thereon) into 4,065,040 shares of common stock of the Company at the conversion price per share of $1.23, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the First Note issued under the Agreement; (iii) the Company issued and sold to the Investors a new 5% Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 to the Investors (the “Second Note” and collectively with the First Note, the “Notes”); and (iv) the Company granted to the Investors an option to purchase a 5% Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $10,000,000, exercisable by the Investors at any time within nine (9) months following the date of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Amendment (the “Option Note”).
 
The Second Note bears interest at 5% per annum and matures on April 29, 2011. The principal face amount of the Second Note, together with any interest thereon, is convertible at the option of the holders at any time on or after March 30, 2010 (or such earlier date if the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 are available prior to March 30, 2010) and prior to maturity, into shares of the Company's common stock at an initial conversion price that is tied to the after-tax net profits of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, as described in the Second Note. The Second Note is subject to mandatory conversion upon the listing of the Company's common stock on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations main-board, the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange. As more fully described in the Second Note, the obligations of the Company under the Second Note shall rank senior to all other debt of the Company.

The Second Note and the Option Note are both secured by a security interest granted to the Investors pursuant to the Share Pledge Agreement.
 
The Second Note was not considered to have an embedded BCF because the conversion price and convertible shares are contingent upon future net profits.
 
On June 25, 2008, the Company and the Investors entered into a Rescission and Subscription Agreement (the “Rescission”) to rescind the conversion of the First Note and the issuance of conversion shares of Common Stock at the Second Closing pursuant to the Amendment. The Company and the Investors rescinded the conversion of the principal amount ($5,000,000) under the First Note into 4,065,040 shares of Common Stock, and the Investors waived accrued interest on the First Note. Accordingly, the interest expense which had accrued on the note has been recorded as a decrease in interest expense for the period. At the Rescission closing, the Company repaid in full the First Note and issued to the Investors 4,065,040 shares of Common Stock at the price of $1.23 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000.  This was done through a cross receipt arrangement; the amortized portion of BCF was reversed to additional paid in stock.  The Company has now concluded that in substance the transaction resulted in the conversion of the first $5,000,000 note into common stock and that the remaining BCF of $3,472,603 at the date of conversion should have been expensed.  The Second Note was not considered to have an embedded beneficial conversion feature, nor included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the conversion price and convertible shares are contingent upon future net profits, and anti-dilutive for these shares due to the Company’s net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Controls and Procedures
 
At the time that our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2008 was originally filed, our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In connection with the restatement of our financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q described in the introductory Explanatory Note, management reevaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the Evaluation Date. Based on that reevaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.
 
The Company has retained a consultant to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting and to assist us in making improvements to the quality of our controls, policies and procedures. The Company also intends to form an Audit Committee of independent directors during the 2009 fiscal year to oversee the audit and internal audit process.  In addition, we are improving supervision, education, and training of our accounting staff and continue to search for more qualified financial personnel with experience with U.S. GAAP and U.S. public company reporting and compliance obligations.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Other than as noted above in this Item 4T, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
