CHINA VALVES TECHNOLOGY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2008
(unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization

China Valves Technology, Inc, formerly known as Intercontinental Resources, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada in August 1997, under the name Meximed Industries, Inc. In January 1999, the Company changed its name to Digital Video Display Technology Corporation and in July 2001 to Iconet, Inc. In the middle of 2003 the Company again changed its name to Anglotajik Minerals, Inc. The Company was considered to be in the exploration stage as its operations principally involved research and exploration, market analysis, and other business planning activities, and no revenue was generated from its business activities. The Company suspended its proposed activities in mineral exploration in the Republic of Tajikistan, and changed its name to Intercontinental Resources, Inc in May of 2006.  From that time until December 2007, the Company had no significant operations.

On December 16, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and Share Exchange (the “Exchange Agreement”) with China Valve Holding Limited (“China Valve Samoa”), a company incorporated under the laws of Samoa, and the equity owner of China Valve Hong Kong.  The closing of the transaction took place on December 16, 2007 (the “Closing Date”) and resulted in the merger between the Company and China Valve Samoa (the “Merger”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock and ownership interests of China Valve Samoa (the “Interests”) from the China Valve Samoa shareholder for 40,000,000 shares, or 99.8% of the Company’s common stock.  In addition, China Valve Samoa agreed to pay cash of $490,000 (the “Purchase Price”). Because the acquisition is treated as a reverse acquisition, the financial statements of the Company have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the acquisition from the beginning of the reported period. The merger transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization of the Company whereby China Valve Samoa is deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and the Company to be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). The historical financial statements for periods prior to December 16, 2007 are those of China Valve Samoa except that the equity section and earnings per share have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse acquisition.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, on December 18, 2007 the Company filed with the Secretary of State for the state of Nevada a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation changing its name to “China Valves Technology, Inc” to better reflect its business.  The Company through its subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) focuses primarily on the development, manufacture and sale of high-quality metal valves for electricity, petroleum, chemical, and water, gas and metal industries.

China Valve Samoa was incorporated on June 6, 2007 in Samoa. China Valve Samoa’s principle activity is investment in its subsidiaries.
 
Prior to entry into the Exchange Agreement, China Valve Samoa undertook a group reorganization plan to comply with the regulations of the China State Administration of Foreign Exchange. China Valve Samoa became the holding company of the group in September 2007 by acquiring a 100% interest in China Valve Holdings Limited (incorporated in Hong Kong) ("CVHL") on September 28, 2007. CVHL established Henan Tonghai Valve Science Technology Co., Ltd. ("TVST"), a wholly-own subsidiary in the People's Republic of China, on September 5, 2007. TVST acquired 100% of the equity of Henan Kaifeng High Pressure Valve Co., Ltd. (“High Pressure Valve”) and Zhengzhou City Zhengdie Valve Co., Ltd. (“Zhengdie Valve,”) (together, the “Operating Subsidiaries”) from Mr. Siping Fang, the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company and the other individual owners of those companies. The acquisition of the Operating Subsidiaries by Henan Tonghai Valve from Mr. Siping Fang was considered to be a transaction between entities under common control.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Pursuant to a restructuring plan intended to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements of the PRC, on April 1 and 3, 2008, the Company transferred 100% of the equity of the Operating Subsidiaries back to Sipang Fang and the other original owners, with the intention that Sipang Fang would transfer the Operating Subsidiaries to a new entity controlled by Mr. Bin Li, and that Mr. Li would then sell such entity to the Company, thereby allowing the Company to reacquire legal ownership of the Operating Subsidiaries. 

On April 10, 2008, Mr. Fang, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, sold 24,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by him and which he had received in the merger transaction described above, to Mr Li for $10,000.  In connection with his acquisition of the Shares, Mr. Li issued to Mr. Fang a $10,000 note.  The note, which does not bear interest, is due sixty days after a written demand for payment is made by Mr. Fang to Mr. Li, provided that such demand is made on or after October 15, 2008. The sale represents a change of control of the Company and the Shares acquired by Mr. Li represent approximately 60.75% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company calculated on a fully-diluted basis. Prior to the acquisition, Mr. Li was not affiliated with the Company.  However following the acquisition, Mr. Li will be deemed an affiliate of the Company as a result of his stock ownership interest in the Company. In connection therewith, Mr. Fang and Mr. Li entered into an Earn-In Agreement (the “Earn-In Agreement”) pursuant to which Mr. Fang obtained the right and option to re-acquire the shares of the Company from Mr. Li, subject to the satisfaction of four conditions as set forth in the Earn-In Agreement. These conditions would be able to be satisfied only if the Company is able to reacquire and operate the Operating Subsidiaries.  Mr Li established China Fluid Equipment on April 18, 2008, to serve as the 100% owner of a new PRC subsidiary, Henan Tonghai Fluid Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Henan Tonghai”). On June 30, 2008, Henan Tonghai acquired the Operating Subsidiaries from Mr. Fang and the other original owners.  The acquisitions were consummated under the laws of the PRC.  The former Hong Kong holding company, CVHL and its subsidiary TVST, which no longer held any assets, were dissolved. On July 31, 2008, the Company and Mr. Li completed the reorganization plan when Mr. Li transferred all of the capital stock of China Fluid Equipment to the Company pursuant to an Instrument of Transfer for a nominal consideration of HKD$10,000 (approximately $1,281). As a result of these transactions, the Operating Subsidiaries are again the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries.

During this re-organization, the Operating Subsidiaries continued to be under the operating and management control of the Company.  Because of this operating and management control and because the Company continued to bear the residual risks and rewards related to the Operating Subsidiaries, the Company continued to consolidate the Operating Subsidiaries during the re-organization.  The acquisition by the Company on July 31, 2008 of the new holding company for the Operating Subsidiaries, which represented the return to legal ownership of the Operating Subsidiaries by the Company, represented a transaction between related parties under common control and did not establish a new basis in the assets and liabilities of the Operating Subsidiaries. The Earn-In Agreement will enable Mr. Fang to regain ownership of the Company’s shares originally transferred by him to Mr. Li as part of the re-organization arrangements and, accordingly, the Company does not consider his re-acquisition of those shares to represent compensation cost to the Company.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP").  In the opinion of management, the accompanying balance sheets, and statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items.  All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Management has included all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to give a fair presentation of operating results for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the 2007 annual report filed on Form 10-K.

 USE OF ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 104. Sales revenue is recognized when all of the following have occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured. These criteria are generally satisfied at the time of shipment when risk of loss and title passes to the customer.

The Company recognizes revenue when the goods are delivered and title has passed. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). All of the Company’s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 17% of the gross sales price or at a rate approved by the Chinese local government. This VAT may be offset by the VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing their finished product.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING

Shipping and handling costs related to costs of goods sold are included in selling, general and administrative costs which totaled $50,411 and $75,135 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Shipping and handling costs amounted to $78,855 and $132,567 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

ADVERTISING

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $1,780 and $4,528 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, and 2007, respectively and $15,535 and $16,361 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The functional currency of the Company and its Operating Subsidiaries Henan Kai Feng Pressure Valve Co., Ltd. and Zhengzhou City Zhengdie Valve Co., Ltd is the Chinese Renminbi (RMB).

For those entities whose functional currency is other than the US dollar, all assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; stockholder's equity is translated at historical rates and items in the statements of income and of cash flows are translated at the average rate for the period. Because cash flows are translated based on the average translation rate, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.
 
Accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity amounted to $5,500,823 and $3,173,745 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were translated at 6.85 RMB and 7.29 RMB to $1.00 USD, respectively. The average translation rates applied to the statements of income and of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were 7.05 RMB and 7.73 RMB to $1.00, respectively, and for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the average translation rates were 6.97 RMB and 7.69 RMB to $1.00, respectively. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
 
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset, ranging from five to ten years.
 
Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction as well as acquisition and design fees incurred. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until construction is completed and the asset is ready for its intended use.
 
INTANGIBLE ASSETS

CHINA VALVES TECHNOLOGY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2008
(unaudited)

 
Intangible assets consist of goodwill, patents and software.  The Company records goodwill when the purchase price of net assets acquired exceeds their fair value. In accordance with SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill has an infinite life and therefore costs are not amortized but reviewed for impairment.  Patents and software are subject to amortization. Patents, which have a legal life of 10 years in the PRC, are being amortized over 5 years as management has determined that five years is the estimated useful life of the patents currently owned by the Company. Software is amortized over 10 years, its estimated useful life.
 
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
The Company periodically reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived assets for impairment. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is considered not recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flow. As of June 30, 2008, the Company determined no impairment charges were necessary.

INVENTORY
 
The Company values its inventory at the lower of cost or market, determined on a weighted average method, or net realizable value. The Company reviews its inventories periodically to determine if any reserves are necessary for potential obsolescence.  As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 the Company determined no reserves were necessary.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of material and equipment that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities and which have alternative future uses, either in research and development, marketing, or sales, are classified as property and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

RETIREMENT BENEFIT COSTS
 
Amounts payable for the PRC state managed retirement benefit programs are expensed in the financial statements following the accrual basis of accounting.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS 109), which requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Because the Company has no operations within the United States, there is no provision for US income taxes and there are no deferred tax amounts as of June 30,, 2008.

The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred taxes are accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit.  In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)
Deferred taxes are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled.  Deferred taxes are charged or credited in the income statement, except when they relate to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred taxes are also recordrd in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption of FIN 48 had no affect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
.CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in banks and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition.
 
RESTRICTED CASH

The Company is required to have restricted cash in the bank as security for its exported products. The restriction is released after the customers have received and inspected the products. Restricted cash amounted to $142,071 and $40,856 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

CONCENTRATIONS AND RISKS
 
The Company's operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC's economy. The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. 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.

Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with state owned banks within the People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong. Total cash (including restricted cash balances) in these banks on June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 amounted to $4,634,143 and $2,814,118, respectively, of which no deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.

Five major suppliers represented approximately 44% and 51% of the Company’s total purchases for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, five major suppliers represented approximately 37% and 47%, respectively of the Company’s total purchases.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” on January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for receivables and payables qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.  The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1   inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2   inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Level 3   inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

The Company invested in China Perfect Machinery Industry Co., Ltd. in 1996 and Kaifang Commercial Bank in 1997. Long term investments amounted to $760,346 and $714,485 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.  There is no quoted or observable market price for the joint venture interest or other similar joint ventures; therefore, the Company used level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology. The determination of the fair value was based on the capital investment that the Company contributed.

The Company did not identify any other assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with SFAS No.157.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

The Company’s business operations are conducted in the PRC by selling on various credit terms. Management reviews its accounts receivable on a quarterly basis to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. The Company’s existing reserve is consistent with its historical experience and considered adequate by management.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution (using the treasury stock method) that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock.

All per share data including earnings per share has been retroactively restated to reflect the merger on December 16, 2007 as if it had occurred at the beginning of 2006. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, basic and diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.04 and $0.08, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, basic and diluted earnings per share amount to $0.09 and $0.09, respectively

LONG TERM INVESTMENT

The Company invested in China Perfect Machinery Industry Co., Ltd. in 1996 and Kaifeng Commercial Bank in 1997. The Company does not have the ability to exercise control over of the investee companies and the investments have been recorded under the cost method. Long term investment amounted to $760,346 and $714,485 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Management believes there is no impairment as of June 30, 2008.

CUSTOMER DEPOSIT

Customer deposits represent amounts advanced by customers on product orders. The product normally is shipped within six months after receipt of the advance payment and the related sale is recognized in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, customer deposits amounted to $1,643,763 and $2,810,352, respectively.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective of FAS 159 is to provide opportunities to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply hedge accounting provisions. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. The Company chose not to elect the option to measure the fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities.

In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities” (“FSP EITF 07-3”), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed.  The Company adopted FSP EITF 07-3 and expensed the research and development as incurred.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinations, was issued. SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. This replaces SFAS 141’s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages (sometimes referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with SFAS 141R). 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. An entity may not apply it before that date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS No. 141R will have on its financial statements.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”, (“SFAS 161”) which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items on our financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS 161 will have on its financial statements.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued 142-3 “Determination of the useful life of Intangible Assets”, which amends the factors a company should consider when developing renewal assumptions used to determine the useful life of an intangible asset under SFAS142. This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 142 requires companies to consider whether renewal can be completed without substantial cost or material modification of the existing terms and conditions associated with the asset. FSP 142-3 replaces the previous useful life criteria with a new requirement—that an entity consider its own historical experience in renewing similar arrangements. If historical experience does not exist, then the Company would consider market participant assumptions regarding renewal including 1) highest and best use of the asset by a market participant, and 2) adjustments for other entity-specific factors included in SFAS 142. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS No.142-3 will have on its financial statements.

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 (the GAAP hierarchy). The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS No. 141R will have on its financial statements. 

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 and impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 07-5 “Determining whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 07-5”). This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is not permitted. Paragraph 11(a) of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No 133 “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF No.07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting EITF No. 07-5 will have on its financial statements. 

In June 2008, FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-4, “Transition Guidance for Conforming Changes to Issue No. 98-5 (“EITF No. 08-4”)”. The objective of EITF No.08-4 is to provide transition guidance for conforming changes made to EITF No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, that result from EITF No. 00-27 “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, and SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Early application is permitted. This Statement will not have and impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 9 - Income taxes

The Company’s subsidiaries are governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and various local income tax laws (the Income Tax Laws).

Beginning January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law has replaced the existing laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DEs”) and Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIEs”). The new standard EIT rate of 25% has replaced the 33% rate currently applicable to both DEs and FIEs.

Prior to 2008, under the Chinese Income Tax Laws, foreign investment enterprises (“FIEs”) generally were subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 33% (30% state income taxes plus 3% local income taxes) on income as reported in their statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments unless the enterprise is located in specially designated regions for which more favorable effective tax rates apply.

Note 10 – Statutory Reserves

The laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China require that before foreign invested enterprise can legally distribute profits, it must first satisfy all tax liabilities, provide for losses in previous years, and make allocations, in proportions determined at the discretion of the board of directors, to the statutory reserve. The statutory reserves include the surplus reserve fund and the common welfare fund.

STATUTORY SURPLUS RESERVE FUND

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

The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of any dividends to shareholders. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company transferred $167,164 and $300,945, respectively to this reserve. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company transferred $355,571 and $358,566 to this reserve which represents 10% of the current year’s net income determined in accordance with PRC accounting rules and regulations. 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 shareholding or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered capital.

Our Company History and Recent Developments

We were originally incorporated on August 1, 1997 in the State of Nevada under the name Intercontinental Resources, Inc.  Our name has been changed several times over the years and our current name is China Valves Technology, Inc.  We had no active operations during the period from 2001 until December 18, 2007, at which time we completed a reverse acquisition transaction with China Valves in which we acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of China Valves from its stockholders in exchange for 40,000,000 shares of our common stock.

           On December 16, 2007, Intercontinental entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and Share Exchange Agreement  (the “Exchange Agreement”), with China Valve Holding Limited, or China Valve Samoa, a company incorporated under the laws of Samoa on June 6, 2007, and the owner of China Valve Samoa.  The closing of the transaction took place on December 16, 2007, and resulted in the merger between Intercontinental and China Valve Samoa.  Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, Intercontinental acquired all of the outstanding capital stock and ownership interests of China Valve Samoa from the sole shareholder of China Valve Samoa for an aggregate of 40,000,000 shares, or 99.8% of Intercontinental’s common stock.  In addition, China Valve Samoa agreed to pay cash of $490,000. The Company disclosed the transactions in a Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the Commission on March 31, 2008 (the “Form 10-K”).  In the Form 10-K, the acquisition was treated as a reverse acquisition, our financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the acquisition from the beginning of the reported period. The stock exchange transaction was accounted as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization of the Company whereby China Valve Samoa was deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and the Company to be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). The historical financial statements for periods prior to December 16, 2007 are those of China Valve Samoa except that the equity section and earnings per share have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse acquisition.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, on December 18, 2007, Intercontinental filed with the Secretary of State for the state of Nevada a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation changing our name to “China Valves Technology, Inc.” to better reflect our business plan.

Prior to entry into the Exchange Agreement, China Valve Samoa undertook a group reorganization plan (the “Reorganization Plan”) to comply with the regulations of the China State Administration of Foreign Exchange. On September 28, 2007, China Valve Samoa became the holding company of the group by acquiring a 100% interest in China Valve Holdings Limited (“China Valve Hong Kong”)  which was incorporated under the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on June 11, 2007. China Valve Hong Kong established Henan Tonghai Valve Science Technology, Inc. (“Henan Tonghai Valve”), a wholly-owned subsidiary in the People’s Republic of China, on September 5, 2007.  Neither China Valve Samoa nor China Valve Hong Kong had any active business operations other than their ownership of Henan Tonghai Valve.

Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, Henan Tonghai Valve entered into an agreement to purchase 100% of the equity of the Operating Subsidiaries from Mr. Siping Fang, our Chief Executive Officer and President and the other individual owners of those companies.  The purchase price for these acquisitions was not paid because we did not have the funds to do so. Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan intended to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements of the PRC, on April 1 and 3, 2008, we transferred 100% of the equity of the Operating Subsidiaries back to Siping Fang and the other original owners with the intention that Siping Fang would transfer the Operating Subsidiaries to a new entity controlled by Mr. Bin Li, and that Mr. Li would then sell such entity to us, thereby allowing us to reacquire legal ownership of the Operating Subsidiaries. We disclosed the transactions in a Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 filed with the Commission on May 15, 2008 (the “Form 10-Q”).  In the Form 10-Q, the acquisitions of the Operating Subsidiaries were treated for accounting purposes as acquisitions under common control. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis for the years presented in the Form 10-Q.

On April 10, 2008, because we no longer owned the Operating Subsidiaries, Siping Fang sold all of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by him to Bin Li, for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000, pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement. In connection with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Siping Fang and Bin Li entered into an Earn-In Agreement (the “Earn-In Agreement”) pursuant to which Siping Fang obtained the right and option to re-acquire the shares of the Company from Bin Li, subject to the satisfaction of four conditions as set forth in the Earn-In Agreement. These conditions may be satisfied only if we are able to reacquire and operate the Operating Subsidiaries. The sale of Siping Fang’s common stock and the Earn-In Agreement were disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on April 16, 2008.

Reacquisition of the Operating Subsidiaries

Bin Li established China Fluid Equipment Holdings Limited (“China Fluid Equipment”), on April 18, 2008 to serve as the 100% owner of a new PRC subsidiary, Henan Tonghai Fluid Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Henan Tonghai”).  Henan Tonghai purchased the Operating Subsidiaries pursuant to the following agreements:

On June 30, 2008, Mr. Siping Fang sold 67% ownership interest in Kaifeng High Pressure to Henan Tonghai for an aggregate purchase price of $5.85 million pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 17, 2008, between Mr. Fang and Henan Tonghai. 

·  
On June 30, 2008, Ms. Xiuying Wei sold 33% ownership interest in Kaifeng High Pressure to Henan Tonghai for an aggregate purchase price of $2.88 million pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 17, 2008, between Ms. Wei and Henan Tonghai.

·  
On June 30, 2008, Mr. Fang sold 84% ownership interest in Zhengdie to Henan Tonghai for an aggregate purchase price of $6.11 million pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 24, 2008, between Mr. Fang and Henan Tonghai. 

·  
On June 30, 2008, Mr. Binjie Fang, our Chief Operating Officer, sold 16% ownership interest in Zhengdie to Henan Tonghai for an aggregate purchase price of $1.17 million pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 24, 2008, between Mr. Binjie Fang and Henan Tonghai.

The acquisitions have been consummated; however, neither Bin Li nor Henan Tonghai paid the purchase prices for these acquisitions.

       On July 31, 2008, we completed the Reorganization Plan when Bin Li  transferred 10,000 shares of the common stock, or 100% of the equity interests, of China Fluid Equipment to us pursuant to the terms of an instrument of transfer approved by the Hong Kong government on July 31, 2008 (the “Instrument of Transfer”)  for a consideration of HKD$10,000. As a result of these transactions, the Operating Subsidiaries are again our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries.

During this reorganization, the Operating Subsidiaries continued to be under our operating and management control. Because of this operating and management control and because we continued to bear the residual risks and rewards related to the Operating Subsidiaries, we continued to consolidate the Operating Subsidiaries during the reorganization.  Our acquisition on July 31, 2008 of China Fluid Equipment for the Operating Subsidiaries, which represented the return to legal ownership of the Operating Subsidiaries by the Company, represented a transaction between related parties under common control and did not establish a new basis in the assets and liabilities of the Operating Subsidiaries. The Earn-In Agreement will enable Mr. Fang to regain ownership of the Company’s shares originally transferred by him to Mr. Li as part of the reorganization arrangements and, accordingly, we do not consider his re-acquisition of those shares to represent compensation cost to us.

Overview of Our Business

Through the PRC Companies and certain commercial and contractual relationships and arrangements with other Chinese companies, we operate companies in China that develop, manufacture and distribute valves for a variety of different industries, including electrical petroleum, chemical, water, gas and metal industries.  We are a leader in valve sales for the thermal power and water supply industries, according to the Chairman of China Valve Industry Association, an industry trade association.  We produce over 700 models of valves and service numerous industries, including the thermal power, water supply, sewage disposal, oil and chemical, metallurgy, heat power, and nuclear power industries.

Industry Wide Trends that are Relevant to Our Business

China is currently experiencing growth in urbanization and heavy industrialization.  The Company believes that increased demand for energy and water treatment in urban centers will increase demand for valve products. According to the China Valve Industry Association’s research, sales of valve products in the Chinese domestic market in 2006 reached $5.36 billion, an increase of 32% from the previous year, and the Chinese market is expected to increase at an annual rate of more than 30% for the next 5 years.

According to the China Valve Industry Association’s research, the valve market is divided into five primary segments: (i) power; (ii) petrochemical; (iii) oil; (iv) water supply; and (v) metallurgy, which account for approximately 21, 12, 24.5, 14 and 8 of market share, respectively.  All other valve products account for the remaining 18.5%.

Competition

We compete with approximately 4,000 valve manufacturers in China and listed below are our major competitors:

o
Hong Cheng Machinery Co., Ltd – a manufacturer of medium pressure big diameter butterfly valves for the water supply industry;

o
Sufa Technology Industry, Co., Ltd – a manufacturer of nuclear power industry used valves; and

o
Guangdong Mingzhu Group Co., Ltd – a manufacturer of small diameter ball valves.

        There are, however, certain factors that we believe set us apart from all of our competitors.  We are a top producer of many types of valves and have positioned ourselves as the leading valve producer in China enabling us to offer a more comprehensive product line to our customers.  In addition, the following factors will help China Valve continue to set itself apart from its competitors:

Sales Revenue
Our sales revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008 amounted to $11.8 million, which is approximately $0.7 million or 6% less than that of the same period ended on June 30, 2007, where we had revenue of $12.5 million.  The decrease in sales revenue was primarily attributed to unshipped orders to major customers in Sichuan Province, China which were adversely affected by the devastating earthquake in May 2008.

Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold, which consist of raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead expenses, was $6.9 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $0.3 million or 4%, as compared to $7.2 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2007. Cost of sales as a percentage of total revenues were 59% and 58% for the three month periods ended on June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of approximately 1%.  This was primarily a result of increased cost from raw materials.

Selling expenses
Selling expenses, which consist primarily of sales commission, advertising and promotion expenses, freight charges and related compensation, were $0.856 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $0.851 million for the same period ended June 30, 2007, a slight increase of $0.004 million or approximately 1%.

Operating and administrative expenses
Our general and administrative expenses, which consist primarily of rental expenses, related salaries, business development, depreciation and traveling expenses, legal and professional expenses, were $1.7 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $0.8 million for the same period ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $0.9 million or approximately 109%.  The increase was primarily attributable to the company’s execution of early retirement as well as increasing professional and investor relations expenses.

Environmental Laws Compliance Costs
We incurred no costs for environmental compliance for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Income From Operations
Income from operations was $2.3 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $3.6 million for the same period ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $1.3 million or approximately 37%.  The decrease was primarily attributable to decrease in sales in the current quarter and significant increase in general and administrative costs resulting from the Company’s execution of early retirement plan and increasing professional fees after the reverse acquisition.

Other income (expenses)
Total other income was $0.195 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $0.275 million for the same period ended June 30, 2007.  The financial expenses for the three month period ended on June 30, 2008 and 2007 are $0.158 million and $0.21 million, respectively.

Income taxes
We incurred income taxes of $0.62 million for the three month period ended on June 30, 2008.  This is an increase of $0.103 million or 20% from the taxes we incurred in the same 2007 period, which were $0.517 million.  We incurred more taxes in the three months ended June 30, 2008 mostly because of the higher assessable income in the three month period ended on June 30, 2008 compared to 2007. In addition, our subsidiary, High Pressure Valve no longer enjoys tax exemption as it did in 2007. It is currently subject to regular tax rate of 25%.

Provision for Income Taxes

United States

We subject to United States tax at a tax rate of 34%. No provision for the US federal income taxes has been made as the Company had no taxable income in the United States for the reporting period.

PRC

Before the implementation of the corporate income tax (“CIT”) law (as discussed below), Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIE”) established in the PRC are generally subject to a CIT rate of 33.0%, which includes a 30.0% state income tax and a 3.0% local income tax. Our Chinese subsidiaries are taxed at a rate of 25% and 33% of assessable profit. 

Net Income
We earned net income of $1.7 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2008.  This is a decrease of $1.4 million or approximately 46% from the same period ended June 30, 2007 which had a net income of $3.1 million.  This decrease was primarily attributable to the higher general and administrative cost as well as increase of income tax.

Foreign Currency Translation Gains

We had a foreign currency translation gain of $0.74 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared with $0.41 million currency translation gain in the same period ended June 30, 2007. In July 21, 2005, China reformed its foreign currency exchange policy, revalued the Renminbi by 2.1 percent and allowed Renminbi to appreciate as much as 0.3 percent per day against the U.S. dollar.  As a result, we implemented different exchange rates in translating Renminbi into U.S. dollar in our financial statements for the three month period ended June 30, 2008, the exchange rates of RMB1: US$0.1459 and RMB1: US$0.1315 were implemented in calculating the total assets/liabilities and statement of income, while for the three month period ended June 30, 2007, the exchange rates of RMB1: US$0.1418and RMB1: US$0.1377 were implemented.

Capital Expenditures

The capital expenditures in the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are set out as below. Our capital expenditures were used primarily for plant construction and purchase of equipment to expand our production capacity. The table below sets forth the breakdown of our capital expenditures by use for the periods indicated.

We do not hold the land use right to the tract of property on which we have constructed our manufacturing facilities and other related facilities. According to the relevant PRC laws and regulations, a land use right certificate, along with government approvals for land planning, project planning, and construction must be obtained before the construction of any building is commenced. An ownership certificate will be granted by the government upon application under the condition that the aforementioned certificate and government approvals are obtained.

Sales Revenue
Our sales revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 amounted to $24.8 million, which is approximately $5.1 million or 26% more than that of the same period ended on June 30, 2007, where we had revenue of $19.7 million.  The increase in sales revenue was primarily attributed to the expansion of our customer base and sales of higher end products.  The increase in sales revenue was a result of price increases for our products, which generated approximately 45% of the increase in revenues, and increased quantities of products sold, which generated approximately 55% of the increase in revenues.

Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold was $14.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $2.8 million or 23%, as compared to $12.0 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007.  Our costs of goods sold increased primarily as a result of the increase in sales, however, we did achieve some economies of scale and therefore our costs of good sold did not increase as much as our revenues period to period.  Cost of sales as a percentage of total revenues were 60% and 61% for the six month periods ended on June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, a decrease of approximately 1%.  This was primarily a result of economies of production scale and more efficient cost control.

Selling expenses
Selling expenses were $1.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $1.4 million for the same period ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $0.5 million or approximately 30%.  The increase was in line with the increase in sales.

Operating and administrative expenses
Our general and administrative expenses were $3.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $1.8 million for the same period ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $1.5 million or approximately 87%.  The increase was primarily attributable to our adoption of early retirement program, traveling expenses, and consulting and audit expenses which cost approximately $0.7 million, $0.2 million, and $0.2 million respectively.

Environmental Laws Compliance Costs
We incurred no costs for environmental compliance for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Income From Operations
Income from operations was $4.7 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $4.4 million for the same period ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $0.3 million or approximately 6%.  The increase was primarily attributable to increase in sales and gross margin.

Other income (expenses)
Total other income was $0.287 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $0.313 million for the same period ended June 30, 2007.  The financial expenses for the six month period ended on June 30, 2008 and 2007 are $0.292 million and $0.362 million, respectively.

Income taxes
We incurred income taxes of $1.3 million for the six month period ended on June 30, 2008.  This is an increase of $0.6 million or 92% from the taxes we incurred in the same 2007 period, which were $0.7 million.  We incurred more taxes in the six months ended June 30, 2008 mostly because of the higher assessable income in the six month period ended on June 30, 2008 compared to 2007. In addition, our subsidiary, High Pressure Valve no longer enjoys tax exemption as it did in 2007. It is currently subject to regular tax rate of 25%.

Net Income
We earned net income of $3.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008.  This is a decrease of $0.3 million or approximately 9% from the same period ended June 30, 2007 which had a net income of $3.7 million.  This decrease is primarily attributable to the higher general and administrative cost incurrent as well as increase of provision for income tax.

Foreign Currency Translation Gains

We had a foreign currency translation gain of $2.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared with $0.5 million currency translation gain in the same period ended June 30, 2007. In July 21, 2005, China reformed its foreign currency exchange policy, revalued the Renminbi by 2.1 percent and allowed Renminbi to appreciate as much as 0.3 percent per day against the U.S. dollar.  As a result, we implemented different exchange rates in translating Renminbi into U.S. dollar in our financial statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, the exchange rates of RMB1: US$0.1459 and RMB1: US$0.1315 were implemented in calculating the total assets/liabilities and statement of income, while for the three month period ended June 30, 2007, the exchange rates of RMB1: US$0.1418 and RMB1: US$0.1377 were implemented.

Cash has historically been generated from operations as well as short-term loans from various sources, which has provided sufficient liquidity to support our working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures, completion of current and future reorganization and acquisition-related programs, and debt obligations.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.047 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $4.2 million in the same period in fiscal year 2007. The change of $4.1 million in operating activities was primarily attributable to decrease in other payables due to related parties, customer deposits and increases in advances on inventory purchases and income taxes paid for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased from $1.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007, to $1.7 million in the same period in fiscal year 2008.  The net cash used in investing activities during the period ended June 30, 2008, was primarily used for purchase of additional machinery and equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to net cash used in finance activities of $7.8 million in the same period in fiscal year 2007. This was primarily attributable to short term borrowing proceeds from related party and third parties. In addition, Mr. Siping Fang contributed additional $1.3 million to the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

As of June 30, 2008, there was no principal outstanding under our credit facilities and lines of credit.

Capital Expenditures

The capital expenditures in the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are set out as below. Our capital expenditures were used primarily for plant construction and purchase of equipment to expand our production capacity.

Other than the contractual obligations and commercial commitments set forth above, we did not have any other long-term debt obligations, operating lease obligations, capital commitments, purchase obligations or other long-term liabilities as of Jun 30, 2008.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily with respect to our short-term bank loans.  Although the interest rates are fixed for the terms of the loans, the terms are typically twelve months and interest rates are subject to change upon renewal.  Since December 21 2007, China People’s Bank has increased the interest rate of RMB bank loans with a term of 6 months or less by 0.99%, and loans with a term of 6 to 12 months by 1.35%.  The new interest rates are 6.57% and 7.47% for RMB bank loans with a term 6 months or less and loans with a term of 6-12 months, respectively.  A hypothetical 1.0% increase in the annual interest rates for all of our credit facilities at June 30, 2008 would decrease net income before provision for income taxes by approximately $0.3 million for the six month ended June 30, 2008.  Management monitors the banks’ interest rates in conjunction with our cash requirements to determine the appropriate level of debt balances relative to other sources of funds.  We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to interest rate risk.

Foreign Exchange Risk

While our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar, all of our consolidated revenues and consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in Renminbi.  All of our assets are denominated in RMB except for cash which is in RMB and Hong Kong Dollar.  As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. Dollars and RMB.  If the RMB depreciates against the U.S. Dollar, the value of our RMB revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. Dollar financial statements will decline.  We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, (2) the disclosure of our contingent assets and liabilities at the end of each fiscal period and (3) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each fiscal period. We continually evaluate these estimates based on our own historical experience, knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions, our expectations regarding the future based on available information and reasonable assumptions, which together form our basis for making judgments about matters that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, our actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application.

When reviewing our financial statements, the following should also be considered: (1) our selection of critical accounting policies, (2) the judgment and other uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, and (3) the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions. We believe the following accounting policies involve the most significant judgment and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104. Sales revenue is recognized when all of the following have occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured. These criteria are generally satisfied at the time of shipment when risk of loss and title passes to the customer.

The Company recognizes revenue when the goods are delivered and title has passed. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). All of the Company’s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 17% of the gross sales price or at a rate approved by the Chinese local government. This VAT may be offset by the VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing their finished product.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company’s business operations are conducted in the PRC by selling on various credit terms. Management reviews its accounts receivable on a quarterly basis to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. The Company’s existing reserve is consistent with its historical experience and considered adequate by the management.


Changes in Accounting Standards

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective of FAS 159 is to provide opportunities to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply hedge accounting provisions. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. The Company chose not to elect the option to measure the fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities.

In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities” (“FSP EITF 07-3”), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed.  The Company adopted FSP EITF 07-3 and expensed the research and development as incurred.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 160 will have on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

In December 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinations, was issued. SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions.
 
 
31

 
 
This replaces SFAS 141’s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages (sometimes referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with SFAS 141R). 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. An entity may not apply it before that date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS No. 141R will have on its financial statements.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”,  (“SFAS 161”) which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items on our financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS 161 will have on its financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued 142-3 “Determination of the useful life of Intangible Assets”, which amends the factors a company should consider when developing renewal assumptions used to determine the useful life of an intangible asset under SFAS142. This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 142 requires companies to consider whether renewal can be completed without substantial cost or material modification of the existing terms and conditions associated with the asset. FSP 142-3 replaces the previous useful life criteria with a new requirement—that an entity consider its own historical experience in renewing similar arrangements. If historical experience does not exist, then the Company would consider market participant assumptions regarding renewal including 1) highest and best use of the asset by a market participant, and 2) adjustments for other entity-specific factors included in SFAS 142. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS No.142-3 will have on its financial statements.

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 (the GAAP hierarchy). The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS No. 141R will have on its financial statements. 

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 and impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 07-5 “Determining whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 07-5”). This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is not permitted. Paragraph 11(a) of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No 133 “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF No.07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. This standard triggers liability accounting on all options and warrants exercisable at strike prices denominated in any currency other than the functional currency of the operating entity in China (Renminbi). The Company is evaluating the effect it will have on its financial statements.

In June 2008, FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-4, “Transition Guidance for Conforming Changes to Issue No. 98-5 (“EITF No. 08-4”)”. The objective of EITF No.08-4 is to provide transition guidance for conforming changes made to EITF No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, that result from EITF No. 00-27 “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, and SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Early application is permitted. This Statement will not have and impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Exchange Rates

The financial records of Henan Tonghai, High Pressure Valves and Zheng Die Valves are maintained in RMB. In order to prepare our financial statements, we have translated amounts in RMB into amounts in U.S. dollars. The amounts of our assets and liabilities on our balance sheets are translated using the closing exchange rate as of the date of the balance sheet. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the period covered by such financial statements. Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in our cumulative other comprehensive income (loss) in our stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheet. All other amounts that were originally booked in RMB and translated into U.S. dollars were translated using the closing exchange rate on the date of recognition. Consequently, the exchange rates at which the amounts in those comparisons were computed varied from year to year.

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into U.S. dollars in connection with the preparation of our financial statements were as follows:

   
RMB per U.S. Dollar
   
2008
 
2007
Balance sheet items as of June 30
   
0.1459
 
0.1315
  Amounts included in the statement of income and comprehensive income, statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and statement of cash flows for the three months ended June 30
   
0.1418
 
0.1377

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008.

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

As of June 30, 2008, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were not effective.
 
During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, our management identified significant deficiencies related to the following:
 
 
33

 

 
1.  Accounting and Finance Personnel Weaknesses  US GAAP expertise.  Our current accounting stuff is relatively new and inexperienced, and needs substantial training so as to meet with the higher demands of being a U.S. public company. The accounting skills and understanding necessary to fulfill the requirements of U.S. GAAP-based reporting, including the skills of subsidiary financial statements consolidation, are inadequate and were inadequately supervised. The lack of sufficient and adequately trained accounting and finance personnel resulted in an ineffective segregation of duties relative to key financial reporting functions.

2.  Lack of internal audit function – We lack qualified resources to perform the internal audit functions properly.  In addition, the scope and effectiveness of the internal audit function are yet to be developed.

3.  Lack of Internal Audit System  We lack an internal audit department, which renders ineffective our ability to prevent and detect control lapses and errors in the accounting of certain key areas like revenue recognition, purchase approvals, inter-company transactions, cash receipt and cash disbursement authorizations, inventory safeguard and proper accumulation for cost of products, in accordance with our appropriate costing method.  Management also determined that the lack of an Audit Committee of the board of directors of the Company also contributes to insufficient oversight of our accounting and audit functions.
 
As disclosed in our Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting filed with the 2007 Form 10-K, the Company's management has identified the steps necessary to address the material weaknesses described above and in the second quarter of 2008, we continued to impliment these remedial procedures.
 
1. Hire, as needed,  additional accounting and operations personnel and outside contractors with technical accounting expertise and  reorganized the accounting and finance department to ensure that accounting personnel with adequate experience, skills and knowledge relating to complex, non-routine transactions are directly involved in the review and accounting evaluation of our complex, non-routine transactions.

2.  Involve, as needed, both internal accounting and operations personnel and outside contractors with technical accounting expertise early in the evaluation of our complex, non-routine transaction to obtain additional guidance as to the application of generally accepted accounting principles to such a proposed transaction.

3.  Require that our senior accounting personnel and the principal accounting officer review our complex, non-routine transactions to evaluate and approve the accounting treatment for such transactions.

4.  Interview prospective persons for appointment to our Board, including a person who is appropriately credentialed as a financial expert with a goal to establish an Audit and Compensation committee as well as ensure that we have sufficient independent directors.

5. Evaluate our internal audit function in relation to our financial resources and requirements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008, there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with our evaluation thereof, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
