Basis of Presentation - For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The subsidiaries include the seven Sino-foreign Joint-ventures mentioned in Note 1. Significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

Foreign Currencies - The Company maintains its books and records in Renminbi, “RMB”, the currency of the PRC, its functional currency. Foreign currency transactions in RMB are reflected using the temporal method. Under this method, all monetary items are translated into the functional currency at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items are translated at historical rates. Income and expenses are translated at the rate in effect on the transaction dates. Transaction gains and losses, if any, are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the period.

In translating the financial statements of the Company from its functional currency into its reporting currency in United States dollars, balance sheet accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense accounts are translated using an average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in cumulative other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.

Exchange rate used in translating the financial statements of the Company from its functional currency, “Renminbi”, into its reporting currency, “US Dollars”:

Comments - The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management of the Company, contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company’s management believes that the disclosures contained in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented therein not misleading. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.

Income Per Share - Basic income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is calculated assuming the issuance of common shares, if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of warrants.

Actual weighted average shares outstanding used in calculating basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were:

Stock-Based Compensation - The Company may issue stock options to employees and stock options or warrants to non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs.

On March 20, 2006, the Company issued 37,863 shares of common stock to Cornell Capital Partners, LP and a placement agent in non-capital raising transactions, collectively at an exercise price of $11.885 per share as a commitment fee and a placement agent fee of $450,000 in connection with the establishment of a $15,000,000 equity line of credit under a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, LP. The exercise value of $450,000 by issuing 37,863 shares of common stock were regarded as financing expenses and has been debited to additional paid-in capital. The excess of exercise value over par value, $449,996 has been credited to additional paid-in capital.

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, which establishes a fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, the cost of stock options and warrants issued to employees and non-employees is measured at the grant date based on the fair value. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive benefit, which is generally the vesting period.

On March 20, 2006, the Company raised a gross amount of $5,000,000 in a private placement (PIPE) to Cornell Capital Partners, LP, “Investor” by issuing 625,000 shares of common stock. As part of the financing cost, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 86,806 shares of common stock, exercisable for three years at an exercise price of $14.40 per share, and a warrant to purchase 69,444 shares of common stock, exercisable for three years at an exercise price of $18.00 per share, to Cornell Capital Partners, LP. The fair value of above-mentioned warrant at the grant date is $832,639, which was measured based on Black-Scholes option pricing model. This amount was recorded as financing expenses and debited to additional paid-in capital. Additionally, the same amount was credited to additional paid-in capital, resulting in zero effect on additional paid-in capital and the Consolidated Financial Statements.

2. CERTAIN SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company is subject to the consideration and risks of operating in the PRC. These include risks associated with the political and economic environment, foreign currency exchange and the legal system in the PRC.

The economy of the PRC differs significantly from the economies of the “western” industrialized nations in structure, level of development, gross national product, growth rate, capital investment, resource allocation, self-sufficiency, rate of inflation and balance of payments position, among others. Only recently has the PRC government encouraged substantial private economic activities. The Chinese economy has experienced significant growth in the past several years, but such growth has been uneven among various sectors of the economy and geographic regions. Actions by the PRC government to control inflation have significantly restrained economic expansion in the recent past. Similar actions by the PRC government in the future could have a significant adverse effect on economic conditions in the PRC.

15

Many laws and regulations dealing with economic matters in general and foreign investment in particular have been enacted in the PRC. However, the PRC still does not have a comprehensive system of laws, and enforcement of existing laws may be uncertain and sporadic.

The Company’s operating assets and primary sources of income and cash flows are the interests of its subsidiaries in Sino-foreign Joint-ventures in the PRC. The PRC economy has been, for many years, a centrally-planned economy, operating on the basis of annual, five-year and ten-year state plans adopted by central PRC governmental authorities, which set out national production and development targets. The PRC government has been pursuing economic reforms since it first adopted its “open-door” policy in 1978. There is no assurance that the PRC government will continue to pursue economic reforms or that there will not be any significant change in its economic or other policies, particularly in the event of any change in the political leadership of, or the political, economic or social conditions in the PRC. There is also no assurance that the Company will not be adversely affected by any such change in governmental policies or any unfavorable change in the political, economic or social conditions, the laws or regulations, or the rate or method of taxation in the PRC.

As many of the economic reforms, which have been or are being implemented by the PRC government, are unprecedented or experimental, they may be subject to adjustment or refinement, which may have adverse effects on the Company. Further, through state plans and other economic and fiscal measures such as the level of exchange rate, it remains possible for the PRC government to exert significant influence on the PRC economy.

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable from customers. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with major banks in the PRC. The Company’s business activity is with customers in the PRC. The Company periodically performs credit analysis and monitors the financial condition of its clients in order to minimize credit risk.

Any devaluation of the RMB against the United States dollar would have adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance and asset values when measured in terms of the United States dollar. Should the RMB significantly devalue against the United States dollar, such devaluation could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s earnings and the foreign currency equivalent of such earnings. The Company does not hedge its RMB - United States dollar exchange rate exposure.

On July 21, 2005, the People's Bank of China changed its exchange rate system from its previous fixed exchange rate announced on January 1, 1994 to a unitary and well-managed floating exchange rate based on market supply and demand. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could be freely converted into other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rate quoted by the People’s Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the People’s Bank of China or other institutions requires submission of a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132R, “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (Revised in December 2003)” - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and 106 (Issued 12/03). This Statement revises employers’ disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans required by FASB Statements No. 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, No. 88, Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, and No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. SFAS 132R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 132R did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs — An Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4” (SFAS 151). SFAS 151 clarifies that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and spoilage should be expensed as incurred and not included in overhead as an inventory cost. The new statement also requires that allocation of fixed production overhead costs to conversion costs should be based on normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions in SFAS 151 must be applied prospectively and became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2006. The Company adopted this statement beginning in the first quarter of 2006.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152 “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67” (“SFAS 152”). This statement amends FASB Statement No. 66 “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position 04-2 “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions” (“SOP 04-2”). SFAS 152 also amends FASB Statement No. 67 “Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental operations of Real Estate Projects” to state that the guidance for incidental operations and costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions, with the accounting for those operations and costs being subject to the guidance in SOP 04-2. The provisions of SFAS 152 are effective in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company adopted this statement beginning in the first quarter of 2006.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R). This statement requires financial statement recognition of compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of SFAS 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The provisions of SFAS 123R are effective for the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. However, in April 2005, the SEC deferred the effective date of SFAS 123R for SEC registrants to the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company adopted this statement beginning in the first quarter of 2006.
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153 “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29” (SFAS 153). This statement amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions” to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that have no commercial substance. Under SFAS 153, if a nonmonetary exchange of similar productive assets meets a commercial-substance criterion and fair value is determinable, the transaction must be accounted for at fair value resulting in recognition of any gain or loss. SFAS 153 was effective for nonmonetary transactions in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company adopted this statement beginning in the first quarter of 2006.

In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143” (FIN 47). Under FIN 47, we are required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Any uncertainty about the amount and/or timing of future settlement should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value. The provisions of FIN 47 were required to be applied no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company adopted this statement beginning in the first quarter of 2006.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (SFAS 154). This statement changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. APB No. 20 required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. This statement requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. The provisions of SFAS 154 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company adopted this statement beginning in the first quarter of 2006.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”. This Statement amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.  This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133, and establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. It also clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 155 on its financial statements, if any.

17

In 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets”. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in indicated situations; requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable; permits an entity to choose relevant subsequent measurement methods for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities; at its initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value; and requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. The adoption of SFAS No. 156 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

17. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
Henglong, one of the Joint-ventures of the Company, has constructed seven buildings dedicated to research and administration for its operations in Wuhan. Due to the unified building guidance and planning on floor and building areas by the government of Wuhan, the actual building areas were greater than the areas the Company needed. The Company decided to dispose of two of its seven buildings to WuHan Geological University Information S&T Development Co., Ltd. "WuHan Information", a Chinese company controlled by Mr. Hanlin Chen, the Chairman of the Company, at fair market value of $2,636,444, which was determined by an independent appraisal firm. The amount is secured by a mortgage in favor of the Company to assure payment of the receivable. As of September 30, 2006, this amount has not been repaid, but WuHan Information has paid the interest of $95,000 at an agreed conventional bank rate on November 10, 2006.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The Company prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of 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 and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions. The following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

MINORITY INTERESTS:
Minority interests refer to the percentage of the owner’s equity of a subsidiary owned by those investors other than the parent company. Minority interests in the condensed consolidated financial statements means the percentage of the Company’s net assets owned by shareholders of the Company’s Sino-foreign Joint-ventures other than the Company, according to their respective investment ratios.

SALES: Sales is mainly derived from automobile parts while the other sales are generated from the sales of raw materials and the non-recurring sales of used and unused equipment, as well as the automobiles balanced against the payment of goods by customers.

PRODUCT SALES:
The Company recognizes product sales revenue when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer pursuant to PRC law, including factors such as when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, sales and value added tax laws have been complied with, and collectibility is probable. The Company recognizes product sales generally at the time the product is shipped. Concurrent with the recognition of revenue, the Company reduces revenue for estimated product returns. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. Revenue is presented net of any sales tax and value added tax.

OTHER SALES:
Other sales are recognized when the  products are shipped to the customer and when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, which means the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. The sales revenue of materials is presented net of any sales tax and value added tax.
 
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
In order to determine the value of the Company’s accounts receivable, the Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts to cover estimated credit losses. Management reviews and adjusts this allowance periodically based on historical experience and its evaluation of the collectibility of outstanding accounts receivable. The Company evaluates the credit risk of its customers utilizing historical data and estimates of future performance.

31

INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is calculated on the moving-average basis and includes all costs to acquire and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The Company evaluates the net realizable value of its inventories on a regular basis and records a provision for loss to reduce the computed moving-average cost if it exceeds the net realizable value.

INCOME TAXES
The Company records a tax provision to reflect the expected tax payable on taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous periods.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company’s long-lived assets consist of property and equipment and certain intangible assets. In assessing the impairment of such assets, the Company periodically makes assumptions regarding the estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. If these estimates or the related assumptions indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, the Company records impairment charges for these assets at such time.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 AND 2005:

TOTAL REVENUES
Total sales revenues consist of product sales and net revenue from other sales. Total sales revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased by $7,952,798, representing a 53.8% increase, to $22,740,898 as compared to $14,788,100 for the same period of the prior year. Other sales were $341,225 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $525,167 for the same period of 2005, a decrease of $183,942 or 35.0%, mainly due to a significant drop of sales of automobiles to customers under barter trade with no cash payment.

NET PRODUCT SALES
Net sales were $22,399,673 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $14,262,933 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $8,136,740 or 57.0%. The increase in net sales in 2006 as compared to 2005 was a result of the following factors:

(1) Primarily, the increase in sales was due to an increase in sales of domestic passenger vehicles.  As a result of increased demands for domestic passenger vehicles, demand for steering gear and steering pumps for domestic passenger vehicles were stimulated, which led to increased sales for steering gear and pumps for the three months ended September 30, 2006 by 49.1% and 63.6% over the same period of 2005, respectively.

(2) In the third quarter of 2006, sales of steering gear and accessories for commercial vehicles increased by 73.0% as compared to the same period of 2005. Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2005 were affected adversely by state macro-controls and were reduced to $3,717,623 as compared to past sales, an historical low. Sales of steering gear and accessories for commercial vehicles were $6,430,791 and recovered to normal sales of $6,000,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2006.

GROSS PROFIT
For the three months ended September 30, 2006, gross profit was $8,189,393, as compared to $5,661,073 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $2,528,320 or 44.7%. The gross profit from other sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006, decreased by $95,924, representing a 63.0% decrease, to $56,234 as compared to $152,158 for the same period of the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in sales volume.

32

PRODUCT GROSS PROFIT
For the three months ended September 30, 2006, gross profit was $8,133,159, as compared to $5,508,917 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $2,624,242 or 47.6%. The increase in sales volume contributed to an increase of $3,303,408 in gross profit, a decrease in unit cost resulted in an increase of $67,928 in gross profit, which was offset by a decrease in selling prices resulting in a decrease of $747,094 in gross profit.

Gross margin was 36.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, a decrease of 2.3% from 38.3% for the same period of 2005. The decrease in selling prices during the third quarter of 2006 was greater than the decrease in cost. The Company plans to take the following measures in the remaining three months of 2006 to further decrease its cost:

(1) Reduce labor costs.  The Company has purchased certain advanced production equipment, which optimizes manufacturing cycles, and further improves productivity capacity and efficiency.  The Company estimates that its labor costs will be reduced by 3% as compared to 2005 as a result of its optimized manufacturing cycles and reduced standard labor hours.

(2) Reduce the cost of raw materials.  In 2006, the Company plans to continue to control the costs of its raw materials in two ways:  First, volume purchase of major raw materials will be made through a bidding process, and for purchases of smaller quantities of non major materials, “target prices” will be set to guide such purchases.  Second, technical personnel have been encouraged to reevaluate the product structure and production techniques to optimize product design, reduce the weight of parts and wastage in the production process, and thus reduce the cost of raw materials.  The Company estimates that its material cost will be reduced by 2% as a result of these measures.

(3) Reduce manufacturing expenses.  In 2006, the Company will reexamine the standard material consumption rates, and regulate the program of approval and usage for supplementary materials, such as oil, cutting tools, dies and other supplies.  The Company estimates that its manufacturing expenses would be reduced by 1% through these measures.

SELLING EXPENSES
Selling expenses were $1,540,030 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $1,151,638 for the same period of 2005, an increase of $388,392 or 33.7%. The increased selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were mainly due to the following factors:

(1) Increased “3-R Guarantees” service expenses. “3-R Guarantees” service expenses were $421,966 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $257,953 for the same period of 2005, an increase of $164,013 or 63.6%. The Company has increased its warranty rate to cover the product claim risks arising from its increased market share, including but not limited to the following factors: (a) The Company had extended its term of service from two years or 30,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, to three years or 50,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, to improve its product competitiveness in the market. The Management estimated that this would result in an increase of warranty reserves. (b) The consumer rights protection policies of "recall" stipulated by the Chinese Government had led to increased “3-R Guarantees” service charges, including the recalling of flawed vehicles policy.

(2) Increased provision for market development: In 2006, the Company recorded a higher provision for market development to strengthen its development in domestic and overseas markets to reach its sales target for this year. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded a provision of $586,586 for market development expenses based on its sales target established at the beginning of 2006, as compared to $233,287 for the same period of 2005, an increase of $353,299 or 151.4%.

(3) Increased transportation expenses. The Company recorded $324,728 of transportation expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $150,629 for the same period of 2005, an increase of $174,099 or 115.6%, resulting from increased transportation volume.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses were $2,139,440 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $846,238 for the same period of 2005, an increase of $1,293,202 or 152.8%. The increased general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were mainly due to the following factors:

(1) Increased salaries and wages. The salaries and wages of administrative staff were $589,868 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $333,167 for the same period of 2005, an increase of $256,701 or 77.0%, mainly due to the two joint ventures of Jielong and Wuhu incorporated by the Company which led to an increase of administrative staff, as well as increased production in 2006 which led to an increase of workload for management.

33

(2) Increased administrative expenses. Administrative expenses were $465,929 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $287,873 for the same period of 2005, an increase of $178,056 or 61.9%, mainly due to (i) significant increase in administrative expenses, such as meeting costs, traveling and entertainment, and (ii) increased office supplies after incorporating two joint ventures.

(3) Provision for doubtful accounts. Provision for doubtful accounts was $601,086 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to recovery of $28,839 for the same period of 2005, an increase of $629,925.  The Company’s accounts receivable increased during the three months ended September 30, 2006 as a result of increased sales volume.  Management believes that the Company should record a higher provision for doubtful accounts to cover estimated credit losses.

(4) Increased stock-based compensation. On July 6, 2006, the Company issued options to purchase 7,500 shares of common stock to each of its three independent directors.  These stock options vested immediately upon grant and were exercisable at $7.94 per share over a period of five years. The aggregate fair value of these options, calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was estimated to be $131,625, which was charged to operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006, while there was no similar expense in the same period of 2005.

(1) Increased “3-R Guarantees” service expenses. “3-R Guarantees” service expenses were $2,626,177 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $1,567,646 for the same period of 2005, an increase of $1,058,531 or 67.5%. The Company has increased its warranty rate to satisfy the increased needs of “3-R Guarantees” service expenses, including but not limited to the following factors: (a) The Company had extended its term of service from two years or 30,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, to three years or 50,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, to improve its product competitiveness in the market. The Management estimated that it would result in an increase of warranty reserves. (b) In 2005 the Chinese Government had fully implemented the consumer rights protection policies of "recall" which began in 2004 (including the recalling of flawed vehicles policy), which led to increased “3-R Guarantees” service charges.

(2) Increased provision for market development: In 2006, the Company recorded a higher provision for market development to strengthen its development in domestic and overseas markets to reach its sales target for this year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded a provision of $788,898 for market development expenses based on its sales target established at the beginning of 2006, as compared to $630,877 for the same period of 2005, an increase of $158,021 or 25.1%.

(3) Increased transportation expenses. The Company recorded $1,142,565 of transportation expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $632,988 for the same period of 2005, an increase of $509,577 or 80.5%, resulting from increased transportation volume.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses were $6,529,130 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $4,010,754 for the same period of 2005, an increase of $2,518,376 or 62.8%. The increased general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were mainly due to the following factors:

(1) Increased Salaries and wages. The salaries and wages of administrative staff were $2,074,713 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $950,839 for the same period of 2005, an increase of $1,123,874 or 118.2%, mainly due to the two joint ventures of Jielong and Wuhu incorporated by the Company which led to an increase of administrative staff, as well as increased production in 2006 which led to an increase of workload for management.

(2) Increased administrative expenses. Administrative expenses were $1,456,216 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $1,086,013 for the same period of 2005, an increase of $370,204 or 34.1%, mainly due to (i) a significant increase in administrative expenses, such as meeting costs, traveling and entertainment expenses, and (ii) increased office supplies after incorporating two joint ventures.
 
(3) Provision for doubtful accounts. The Company recorded $1,861,107 of provision for doubtful accounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to a collection of $19,110 for the same period of 2005, an increase of $1,841,997.  The Company’s accounts receivable increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as a result of increased sales volume.  Management believes that the Company should record a higher provision for doubtful accounts to cover estimated credit losses.

(4) Increased stock-based compensation. On July 6, 2006, the Company issued options to purchase 7,500 shares of common stock to each of its three independent directors.  These stock options vested immediately upon grant and were exercisable at $7.94 per share over a period of five years. The aggregate fair value of these options, calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was estimated to be $131,625, which was charged to operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

On June 28, 2005, the Company issued options to purchase 7,500 shares of common stock to each of its three independent directors.  Such stock options vested immediately upon grant and were exercisable at $6.83 per share over a period of five years. The aggregate fair value of these options, calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was estimated to be $68,850, which was charged to operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

The increase in income taxes reflects an increase in income before income taxes, and Zhejiang, one of the Company’s Sino-foreign Joint-ventures, has ended its two-year tax holiday as of December 2005 and has begun to pay income tax in 2006. The decrease in income taxes reflects that the Company received approximately $510,000 in tax refunds from the Government, while there was no such refunds in 2005.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Capital resources and use of cash
 
The Company has historically financed its liquidity requirements from a variety of sources, including short-term borrowings under bank credit agreements, bankers’ acceptance, issuances of capital stock and internally generated cash. As of September 30, 2006, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of $18,424,513, as compared to $12,374,944 as of December 31, 2005.
 
The Company has working capital of $24,036,897 as of September 30, 2006, as compared to $8,006,688 as of December 31, 2005, an increase of $16,030,209.
 
The Company had bank loans maturing less than one year of $16,229,713 and bankers’ acceptance of $12,688,036 as of September 30, 2006. The Company currently expects to be able to obtain more bank loans and bankers’ acceptance bills again once it can provide adequate mortgages security. If the Company is not able to do so, it will have to refinance such debt as it becomes due or to repay that debt to the extent it has cash available from operations or from the proceeds of additional issuances of capital stock. The mortgages related to the above-mentioned bank loans and banker's acceptance bills will be devalued by $4,271,328 as a result of depreciation. If the Company expects to be able to obtain $16,229,713 of bank loans and $12,688,036 of banker's acceptance bills, it is required to provide $4,271,328 of mortgages. The Company will obtain fewer loans with reduction of $2,067,446 if it cannot provide enough mortgages ($4,271,328 at 48% mortgage rates). The Company anticipates that the reduction of bank loans will not have a material adverse effect on its liquidity. On March 20, 2006, the Company has entered into a $15,000,000 equity line of credit of Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, LP. As of September 30, 2006, the Company has adequate and working capital, as well as $14,700,000 available under the above-mentioned equity line of credit. The Company views these capitals as providing an ample available source of back-up liquidity in case of an unanticipated event.

(b)Financing from investors:

On March 20, 2006, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, LP with a total amount of $15 million. The Company has utilized $300,000 as of September 30, 2006. Under the agreement, Cornell Capital Partners, LP has committed to provide funding to be drawn down over a 24-month period at the Company’s discretion.

If the Company fails to obtain the same or similar terms for any debt or equity refinancing to meet its debt obligation, or fails to obtain extensions of maturity dates of these obligations as they become due, its overall liquidity and capital resources will be adversely affected.

The Company should use the capital under the guidance described in the table. If it fails, the banks will no longer issue the notes payable, and it may have adverse effect on the liquidity and capital resources of the Company. The Company has to deposit sufficient cash in the designated account of the bank on the due date of notes payable for payment to the suppliers. If the bank had advanced payment for the Company, it will be charged a penalty interest at 150% of the specified loan rate. Management believes that the Company had complied with such financial standards as of September 30, 2006, and will continue to comply with them.

The Company had approximately $1,626,099 of capital commitment as of September 30, 2006, arising from equipment purchases for expanding production capacity. The Company intends to pay off $510,990 in the remaining three months of 2006 using its working capital. Management believes that it will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity.

Cash flows:

(a) Operating activities

Three months ended September 30, 2006

The Company’s operations provided cash of $1,294,237 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to cash of $3,070,659 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, a decrease of $1,776,422, reflecting an increased pledged deposits and inventory. An increase in pledged deposits contributed a $1,686,315 decrease in cash outflow, mainly as a result of certain maturing notes payable in early October 2006, therefore the Company deposited sufficient cash into the banks in advance to prepared for payment to suppliers when those notes mature. An increase in inventory contributed a $2,761,466 increase in cash outflow, mainly due to the Company’s intention to produce sufficient inventories to meet increasing demands in the fourth quarter of 2006, a peak time for the Company. In view of the 364-day revolving notes payable in October and the increased inventories which will be turned into cash in peak season, the Company anticipates that an increase in pledged deposits and inventory will not have a material adverse effect on its future operating activates.

40

Nine months ended September 30, 2006

The Company’s operations provided cash of $3,611,863 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to cash of $10,754,403 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, a decrease of $7,142,540, primarily due to increased accounts and notes receivable. First, cash outflow increased by $4,871,578 along with increased accounts receivables, mainly due to an increase in sales this year of 49.8% as compared to the same period of 2005. The credit terms on sale of goods between customers and the Company generally ranged from 3 - 4 months, which resulted in increased accounts receivable so long as sales increased. This is a normal capital circulation and the Company believes that it will not have a material adverse effect on future cash flows. Second, cash outflow increased by $5,039,566 along with increased notes receivable, mainly due to the Company having sufficient working capital this year and reducing the discount on notes receivable to save interest expenses. Since the notes payable were based on bank credit standing, they might turn into cash any time as the Company elects. Therefore, the increase of notes receivable will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future operating activities.

(b) Investing activities

Three months ended September 30, 2006

During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company expended net cash of $2,547,752 in investment activities, as compared to $3,252,490 for the same period of 2005, a decrease of $704,738. The main investment activities during this period are purchase of property, plant and equipment for newly incorporated joint ventures. Currently, the projects are in their early preparatory stage and the Company will complete them next quarter. Management believes that these investing activities will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future operating activities, because the capital required for purchase of property, plant and equipment for the newly incorporated joint ventures will be contributed by the shareholders on a timely basis.

Nine months ended September 30, 2006

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company expended net cash of $4,655,210 in investment activities, as compared to $9,710,451 for the same period of 2005, a decrease of $5,055,241.

Currently, the projects are in their early preparatory stage and the Company will complete them next quarter. Management believes that these investing activities will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future operating activities, because capital required for purchase of property, plant and equipment for the newly incorporated joint ventures will be contributed by the shareholders on a timely basis.

(c) Financing activitiesæ

Three months ended September 30, 2006

Nine months ended September 30, 2006

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company obtained net cash of $6,491,517 through financing activities, as compared to $491,293 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $6,000,224 as a result of following factors:

Item 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
CREDIT RISK: The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable from customers and other receivable due from related parties, which were controlled by Mr. Hanlin Chen, the Company’s Chairman.

Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with major state-owned banks in the PRC. The Management has not evaluated the credit risk from banks based on its notion that state-owned banks command considerable funds with good reputation.

The Company’s business activity is primarily with customers in the PRC. The Company periodically performs credit analysis and monitors the financial condition of its clients in order to minimize credit risk. Because of the increase of activities and business, and the increase of customers’ accounts receivable, there is no assurance that foresaid measures will be completely effective. The Company has approximately $33,000,000 of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2006, the Company’s revenues and/or operating cash flow would be materially and adversely affected if there is a 3% allowance for doubtful accounts which is a reduction of approximately $1,100,000 for the Company.

42

Other receivables due from related parties, was $5,722,836 as of September 30, 2006. These amounts will be due on demand on or before December 31, 2006, if related parties fail to pay on schedule, it is expected to have a material effect on the Company’s operating cash flow.

CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK:  The Company’s currency exchange rate risks consist primarily of currency from financing.  The Company’s financing activities were settled in US dollars and deposited in its bank account in US dollars, while the Company conducts virtually all of its business and investment activity in China and the value of its business is effectively denominated in Renminbi.  The Company converts US dollars into RMB to conduct its investment activities and business.  The Company does not hedge its RMB - US dollar exchange rate exposure.  The Company has dollar holdings of approximately $3,900,000 as at September 30, 2006, if the exchange rate between US dollars and RMB were to increase by 10%, the Company would potentially suffered loss of approximately $390,000.  Therefore, the Company will choose to reduce its exposures through financial instruments (hedges) that provide offsets or limits to its exposures when considered appropriate.

MARKET INTEREST RATE RISK: The Company has $30,000,000 of short-term revolving credit lines with annual interest expenses of $1,770,000 based on full utilization at current rates. Bank loan rates in China have a history of volatility and have been rising recently, and if market interest rates increase by 10%, such increases could result in increased loan interest for the company.

RISK OF INVENTORY PRICES: The risk to inventory prices of the Company comes from the upward movement in prices of raw materials and the downward movement of selling price. In recent years, price fluctuation on raw materials was not excessive, but prices for steering gear have fluctuated significantly. During the years 2003-2005, prices for steering gear have decreased approximately 10% each year on average. In 2005, the output and sales of domestic commercial vehicles has decreased greatly as compared to 2004, as a result of state macro-controls. One of the Joint-ventures of the Company, Jiulong, also suffered similarly as a supplier of commercial vehicles. There is no sign that the market will recover. As of September 30, 2006, Jiulong’s inventory amount was approximately $6,000,000. If selling prices of steering gear decreases by 10%, then the income of the Company will decrease by $600,000. In 2006, the Company will take the following two measures to reduce inventories to a reasonable level thus decreasing the risk from inventory prices:
(1) Further develop the market in order to utilize finished goods inventory through increased sales.
(2) Improve internal information flows, balance inventories in various warehouses, and avoid unnecessary production. But there is no assurance that the aforesaid measures will be effective.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)     EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the “SEC”.  The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act of 1934, the “Exchange Act”, is accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its principal executive and financial officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive and financial officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information the Company is required to disclose in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)     CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during its last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is not currently a party to any threatened or pending legal proceedings, other than incidental litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

Risks Factors that May Affect Our Results

The Company’s businesses, financial conditions and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by many risk factors. Because of these risk factors, actual results might differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, among others, the following:

Risks Related to the Company’s Business and Industry

Because the Company is a holding company with substantially all of its operations conducted through its subsidiaries, its performance will be affected by the performance of its subsidiaries. 

          The Company has no operations independent of those of Great Genesis and its subsidiaries, and its principal assets are its investments in Great Genesis and its subsidiaries.  As a result, the Company is dependent upon the performance of Great Genesis and its subsidiaries and will be subject to the financial, business and other factors affecting Great Genesis as well as general economic and financial conditions.  As substantially all of the Company’s operations are and will be conducted through its subsidiaries, it will be dependent on the cash flow of its subsidiaries to meet its obligations.

Because virtually all of the Company’s assets are and will be held by operating subsidiaries, the claims of its stockholders will be structurally subordinate to all existing and future liabilities and obligations, and trade payables of such subsidiaries.  In the event of the Company’s bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, the Company’s assets and those of its subsidiaries will be available to satisfy the claims of its stockholders only after all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ liabilities and obligations have been paid in full.

With the automobile parts markets being highly competitive and many of the Company’s competitors having greater resources than it does, the Company may not be able to compete successfully.

          The automobile parts industry is a highly competitive business. Criteria for the Company’s customers include:
 
§  
Quality;
 
§  
Price/cost competitiveness;
 
§  
System and product performance;
 
§  
Reliability and timeliness of delivery;
 
§  
New product and technology development capability;
 
§  
Excellence and flexibility in operations;
 
§  
Degree of global and local presence;
 
§  
Effectiveness of customer service; and
 
§  
Overall management capability.
 

The Company’s competitors include independent suppliers of parts, as well as suppliers formed by spin-offs from its customers, who are becoming more aggressive in selling parts to other vehicle manufacturers.  Depending on the particular product, the number of the Company’s competitors varies significantly.  Many of the Company’s competitors have substantially greater revenues and financial resources than it does, as well as stronger brand names, consumer recognition, business relationships with vehicle manufacturers, and geographic presence than it has.  The Company may not be able to compete favorably and increased competition may substantially harm its business, business prospects and results of operations.

44

          Internationally, the Company faces different market dynamics and competition.  The Company may not be as successful as its competitors in generating revenues in international markets due to the lack of recognition of its products or other factors.  Developing product recognition overseas is expensive and time-consuming and the Company’s international expansion efforts may be more costly and less profitable than it expects.  If the Company is not successful in its target markets, its sales could decline, its margins could be negatively impacted and the Company could lose market share, any of which could materially harm the Company’s business, results of operations and profitability.

The cyclical nature of automotive production and sales could result in a reduction in automotive sales, which could adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations.

          The Company’s business relies on automotive vehicle production and sales by its customers, which are highly cyclical and depend on general economic conditions and other factors, including consumer spending and preferences.  They also can be affected by labor relations issues, regulatory requirements, and other factors.  In addition, in the last two years, the price of automobiles in China has generally declined.  As a result, the volume of automotive production in China has fluctuated from year to year, which give rise to fluctuations in the demand for the Company’s products.  Any significant economic decline that results in a reduction in automotive production and sales by the Company’s customers would have a material adverse effect on its results of operations. Moreover, if the prices of automobiles do not remain low, then demand for automobile parts could fall and result in lower revenues and profitability.

Increasing costs for manufactured components and raw materials may adversely affect the Company’s profitability.

          The Company uses a broad range of manufactured components and raw materials in its products, including castings, electronic components, finished sub-components, molded plastic parts, fabricated metal, aluminum and steel, and resins.  Because it may be difficult to pass increased prices for these items on to the Company’s customers, a significant increase in the prices of the Company’s components and materials could materially increase its operating costs and adversely affect its profit margins and profitability.

Pricing pressure by automobile manufacturers on their suppliers may adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations.

          Recently, pricing pressure from automobile manufacturers has been prevalent in the automotive parts industry in China.  Virtually all vehicle manufacturers seek price reductions each year, including requiring suppliers to pay a “3-R Guarantees “ service charge for repair, replacement and refund in an amount equal to one percent of the total amount of parts supplied.  Although the Company has tried to reduce costs and resist price reductions, these reductions have impacted the Company’s sales and profit margins.  If the Company cannot offset continued price reductions through improved operating efficiencies and reduced expenditures, price reductions will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

The Company’s business, revenues and profitability would be materially and adversely affected if it loses any of its large customers.

          For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, approximately 13.9% of the Company’s sales were to Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Limited, approximately 11.0% of the Company’s sales were to Beiqi Foton Motor Co., Ltd., approximately 15.6% of the Company’s sales were to Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. and approximately 10.5% of the Company’s sales were to Zhejiang Geely Holding Co., Ltd., the Company’s four largest customers.  The loss of, or significant reduction in purchases by, one or more of these major customers could adversely affect the Company’s business.

The Company may be subject to product liability and warranty and recall claims, which may increase the costs of doing business and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and liquidity.

          The Company may be exposed to product liability and warranty claims if its products actually or allegedly fail to perform as expected or the use of its products results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury and/or property damage.  The Company started to pay to its customers’ increased after-sales service expenses due to consumer rights protection policies of “recall” issued by the Chinese Government in 2004, such as the recalling flawed vehicles policy.  Beginning in 2004, automobile manufacturers unilaterally required their suppliers to pay a “3-R Guarantees “ service charge (for repair, replacement and refund) in an amount equal to one percent of the total amount of parts supplied.  Accordingly, the Company has experienced and shall continue to experience higher after sales service expenses.  Product liability, warranty and recall costs may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

45

The Company is subject to environmental and safety regulations, which may increase the Company’s compliance costs and may adversely affect the Company’s results of operation.

          The Company is subject to the requirements of environmental and occupational safety and health laws and regulations in China.  The Company cannot provide assurance that it has been or will be at all times in full compliance with all of these requirements, or that it will not incur material costs or liabilities in connection with these requirement.  Additionally, these regulations may change in a manner that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.  The capital requirements and other expenditures that may be necessary to comply with environmental requirements could increase and become a material expense of doing business.

Non-performance by the Company’s suppliers may adversely affect its operations by delaying delivery or causing delivery failures, which may negatively affect demand, sales and profitability. 

          The Company purchases various types of equipment, raw materials and manufactured component parts from its suppliers.  The Company would be materially and adversely affected by the failure of its suppliers to perform as expected.  The Company could experience delivery delays or failures caused by production issues or delivery of non-conforming products if its suppliers failed to perform, and the Company also faces these risks in the event any of its suppliers becomes insolvent or bankrupt.

The Company’s business and growth may suffer if it fails to attract and retain key personnel.

          The Company’s ability to operate its business and implement its strategies effectively depends on the efforts of its executive officers and other key employees.  The Company depends on the continued contributions of its senior management and other key personnel.  The Company’s future success also depends on its ability to identify, attract and retain highly skilled technical, particularly engineers and other employees with electronics expertise, managerial, finance and marketing personnel.  The Company does not maintain a key person life insurance policy on Mr. Hanlin Chen.  The loss of the services of any of the Company’s key employees or the failure to attract or retain other qualified personnel could substantially harm the Company’s business.

The Company’s management controls approximately 87.2% of its outstanding common stock and may have conflicts of interest with its minority stockholders.

          Members of the Company’s management beneficially own approximately 87.2% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.  As a result, these majority stockholders have control over decisions to enter into any corporate transaction and have the ability to prevent any transaction that requires the approval of stockholders, which could result in the approval of transactions that might not maximize stockholders’ value.  Additionally, these stockholders control the election of members of the Company’s board, have the ability to appoint new members to the Company’s management team and control the outcome of matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the Company’s common stock.  The interests of these majority stockholders may at times conflict with the interests of the Company’s other stockholders.

There is a limited public float of the Company’s common stock, which can result in its stock price being volatile and prevent the realization of a profit on resale of the Company’s common stock.

          There is a limited public float of the Company’s common stock.  Of the Company’s outstanding common stock, approximately 13% is considered part of the public float.   The term “public float” refers to shares freely and actively tradable on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market and not owned by officers, directors or affiliates, as such term is defined under the Securities Act.  Due to the Company’s relatively small public float and the limited trading volume of its common stock, purchases and sales of relatively small amounts of the Company’s common stock can have a disproportionate effect on the market price for the Company’s common stock.   As a result, the market price of the Company’s common stock can be volatile. This stock price volatility could prevent a stockholder seeking to sell Company common stock from being able to sell it at or above the price at which the stock was bought.

46

Provisions in the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the General Corporation Law of Delaware may discourage a takeover attempt.

          Provisions in the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the General Corporation Law of Delaware, the state in which the Company is organized, could make it difficult for a third party to acquire the Company, even if doing so might be beneficial to the Company’s stockholders.  Provisions of the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws impose various procedural and other requirements, which could make it difficult for stockholders to effect certain corporate actions and possibly prevent transactions that would maximize stockholders’ value.

Risks Related to Doing Business in China and other International Countries

Because the Company’s operations are all located outside of the United States and are subject to Chinese laws, any change of Chinese laws may adversely affect the Company’s business.

          All of the Company’s operations are outside the United States and in China, which exposes it to risks, such as exchange controls and currency restrictions, currency fluctuations and devaluations, changes in local economic conditions, changes in Chinese laws and regulations, exposure to possible expropriation or other Chinese government actions, and unsettled political conditions.  These factors may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations or on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company’s international expansion plans subject it to risks inherent in doing business internationally.

          The Company’s long-term business strategy relies on the expansion of the Company’s international sales outside China by targeting markets, such as the United States.  Risks affecting the Company’s international expansion include challenges caused by distance, language and cultural differences, conflicting and changing laws and regulations, foreign laws, international import and export legislation, trading and investment policies, foreign currency fluctuations, the burdens of complying with a wide variety of laws and regulations, protectionist laws and business practices that favor local businesses in some countries, foreign tax consequences, higher costs associated with doing business internationally, restrictions on the export or import of technology, difficulties in staffing and managing international operations, trade and tariff restrictions, and variations in tariffs, quotas, taxes and other market barriers.  These risks could harm the Company’s international expansion efforts, which could in turn materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

The Company faces risks associated with currency exchange rate fluctuations, any adverse fluctuation may adversely affect the Company’s operating margins.

          Although the Company is incorporated in the United States, the majority of its current revenues are in Chinese currency.  Conducting business in currencies other than US dollars subjects the Company to fluctuations in currency exchange rates that could have a negative impact on the Company’s reported operating results.  Fluctuations in the value of the US dollar relative to other currencies impact the Company’s revenues, cost of revenues and operating margins and result in foreign currency translation gains and losses.  Historically, the Company has not engaged in exchange rate hedging activities. Although the Company may implement hedging strategies to mitigate this risk, these strategies may not eliminate the Company’s exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations and involve costs and risks of their own, such as ongoing management time and expertise, external costs to implement the strategy and potential accounting implications.

If relations between the United States and China worsen, the Company’s stock price may decrease and the Company may have difficulty accessing the U.S. capital markets.

          At various times during recent years, the United States and China have had disagreements over political and economic issues.  Controversies may arise in the future between these two countries.  Any political or trade controversies between the United States and China could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock and the Company’s ability to access US capital markets.

The Chinese Government could change its policies toward private enterprises, which could adversely affect the Company’s business.

          The Company’s business is subject to political and economic uncertainties in China and may be adversely affected by its political, economic and social developments.  Over the past several years, the Chinese Government has pursued economic reform policies including the encouragement of private economic activity and greater economic decentralization.  The Chinese Government may not continue to pursue these policies or may alter them to the Company’s detriment from time to time.  Changes in policies, laws and regulations, or in their interpretation or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, restrictions or prohibitions on dividend payments to stockholders, devaluations of currency or the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.  Nationalization or expropriation could result in the total loss of the Company’s investment in China.

47

The economic, political and social conditions in China could affect the Company’s business.

          All of the Company’s business, assets and operations are located in China.  The economy of China differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange, and allocation of resources.  The economy of China has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy.  Although the Chinese Government has implemented measures recently emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of sound corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the Chinese Government.  In addition, the Chinese Government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry by imposing industrial policies.  It also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.  Therefore, the Chinese Government’s involvement in the economy could adversely affect the Company’s business operations, results of operations and/or the financial condition.

The significant but uneven growth in the economy of China in the past 20 years could have negative effect on the Company’s business and results of operations. 

          The Chinese Government has implemented various measures from time to time to control the rate of economic growth.  Some of these measures benefit the overall economy of China, but may have a negative effect on the Company.

Government control of currency conversion and future movements in exchange rates may adversely affect the Company’s operations and financial results.

          The Company receives substantially all of its revenues in Renminbi, the currency of China.  A portion of such revenues will be converted into other currencies to meet the Company’s foreign currency obligations.  Foreign exchange transactions under the Company’s capital account, including principal payments in respect of foreign currency-denominated obligations, continue to be subject to significant foreign exchange controls and require the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange in China.  These limitations could affect the Company’s ability to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing, or to obtain foreign exchange for capital expenditures.

          The Chinese Government controls its foreign currency reserves through restrictions on imports and conversion of Renminbi into foreign currency.  Although the exchange rate of the Renminbi to the US dollar has been stable since January 1, 1994, and the Chinese Government has stated its intention to maintain the stability of the value of Renminbi, there can be no assurance that exchange rates will remain stable.  The Renminbi could devalue against the US dollar.  The Company’s financial condition and results of operations may also be affected by changes in the value of certain currencies other than the Renminbi in which the Company’s earnings and obligations are denominated.  In particular, a devaluation of the Renminbi is likely to increase the portion of the Company’s cash flow required to satisfy the Company’s foreign currency-denominated obligations.

Because the Chinese legal system is not fully developed, the Company’s legal protections may be limited.

          The Chinese legal system is based on written statutes and their interpretation by the Supreme People’s Court.  Although the Chinese government introduced new laws and regulations to modernize its business, securities and tax systems on January 1, 1994, China does not yet possess a comprehensive body of business law.  Because Chinese laws and regulations are relatively new, interpretation, implementation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties and inconsistencies and it may be difficult to enforce contracts.  In addition, as the Chinese legal system develops, changes in such laws and regulations, their interpretation or their enforcement may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business operations.  Moreover, interpretative case law does not have the same precedential value in China as in the United States, so legal compliance in China may be more difficult or expensive.

48

It may be difficult to serve the Company with legal process or enforce judgments against the Company’s management or the Company.

          All of the Company’s assets are located in China and three out of the Company’s directors and officers are non-residents of the United States, and all or substantial portions of the assets of such non-residents are located outside the United States.  As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons to originate an action in the United States.  Moreover, there is uncertainty that the courts of China would enforce judgments of U.S. courts against the Company, its directors or officers based on the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state, or an original action brought in China based upon the securities laws of the United States or any state.

Risks Related to the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (“SEDA”)

Future sales by the Company’s stockholders may adversely affect its stock price and its ability to raise funds in new stock offerings.

Sales of the Company’s common stock in the public market following the SEDA could lower the market price of its common stock.  Sales may also make it more difficult for the Company to sell equity securities or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that management deems acceptable, or at all.  Of the 23,289,495 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2006, all such shares are, or will be, freely tradable without restriction, unless held by our “affiliates.”  Some of these shares may be resold under Rule 144.

Existing stockholders could experience significant dilution from the Company’s sale of shares under the SEDA.

The Company’s financial needs will be partially provided from the SEDA.  The issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock under the SEDA, at below-market prices, will have a dilutive impact on its other stockholders and the issuance or even potential issuance of such shares could have a negative effect on the market price of its common stock. As a result, the Company’s net income per share could decrease in future periods, and the market price of the Company’s common stock could decline. In addition, the lower the Company’s stock price, the more shares of common stock it will have to issue under the SEDA to draw down the full amount. If the Company’s stock price is lower, then its existing stockholders would experience greater dilution.

Under the SEDA, Cornell Capital Partners will pay less than the then-prevailing market price of the Company’s common stock.

The common stock to be issued under the SEDA will be issued at a 1.5% discount to the lowest daily VWAP of the Company’s common stock during the five consecutive trading day period immediately following the date the Company notifies Cornell Capital Partners that it desires to access the SEDA; provided, that the price per share paid by Cornell Capital Partners will in no event be less than a minimum of 90% of the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date that it delivers an advance request.  Further, Cornell Capital Partners will retain 4.5% of each advance under the SEDA.  Based on this discount, Cornell Capital Partners will have an incentive to sell immediately to realize the gain on the 1.5% discount.  These sales could cause the price of the Company’s common stock to decline, based on increased selling of its common stock.

The sale of the Company’s stock under the SEDA could encourage short sales by third parties, which could contribute to the future decline of the Company’s stock price.

In many circumstances, the provisions of a SEDA have the potential to cause a significant downward pressure on the price of a company’s common stock.  This is especially the case if the shares being placed into the market exceed the market’s ability to take up the increased stock or if the Company has not performed in such a manner to show that the equity funds raised will be used for growth.  Such an event could place further downward pressure on the price of the Company’s common stock.  The Company may request numerous drawdowns pursuant to the terms of the SEDA.  Even if the Company uses the SEDA to invest in ways that are materially beneficial to it, the opportunity exists for short sellers and others to contribute to the future decline of the Company’s stock price.  If there are significant short sales of stock, the price decline that would result from this activity in turn may cause long holders of the stock to sell their shares thereby contributing to sales of stock in the market.  If there is an imbalance on the sell side of the market for the Company’s common stock, the price will decline.

49

It is not possible to predict those circumstances whereby short sales could materialize or the extent to which the stock price could drop.  In some companies that have been subjected to short sales the stock price has dropped significantly.  This could happen to the Company’s stock price.

Cornell Capital Partners may sell shares of the Company’s common stock after it delivers an advance notice during the pricing period, which could cause the Company’s stock price to decline.

Cornell Capital Partners is deemed to beneficially own the shares of common stock corresponding to a particular advance on the date that the Company delivers an advance notice to Cornell Capital Partners, which is prior to the date the stock is delivered to Cornell Capital Partners. Cornell Capital Partners may sell such shares any time after the Company delivers an advance notice. Accordingly, Cornell Capital Partners may sell such shares during the pricing period. Such sales may cause the Company’s stock price to decline and if so would result in a lower VWAP during the pricing period, which would result in the Company having to issue a larger number of shares of common stock to Cornell Capital Partners in respect of the advance.

The Company may not be able to obtain a cash advance under the SEDA if Cornell Capital Partners holds more than 9.9% of the Company’s common stock. 

In the event Cornell Capital Partners holds more than 9.9% of our then-outstanding common stock, the Company will be unable to obtain a cash advance under the SEDA.  A possibility exists that Cornell Capital Partners may own more than 9.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock at a time when it would otherwise plan to request an advance under the SEDA.  In that event, if the Company is unable to obtain additional external funding, it could fail to achieve the corporate objectives that it had hoped to use the cash to achieve.
