Asia Cork Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

a)

Interim financial statements:

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Asia Cork Inc and subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. However, the information included in these interim financial statements reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year. The consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2008 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.


b)

Description of business and reverse merger:


Asia Cork Inc. (f/k/a Hankersen International Corp.) (“Asia Cork") was incorporated on August 1, 1996, under the laws of the State of Delaware. Until August 2005, Asia Corky had no operations and the sole purpose of Asia Cork was to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity.


On July 11, 2008, Asia Cork’s wholly owned subsidiary, Asia Cork Inc., was merged into its parent, Asia Cork, in order to change the name of Asia Cork, after approval by the Board of Directors of Asia Cork pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law. Asia Cork is the surviving company of the merger and, except for the adoption of the new name its Certificate of Incorporation is otherwise unchanged. The wholly-owned subsidiary was formed in July 2008 and had no material assets.

As permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law, Asia Cork assumed the name of its wholly owned subsidiary following the merger and now operates under the name Asia Cork Inc. Asia Cork’s common stock is quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “AKRK.OB.

Asia Cork and all its subsidiaries listed below will be called “the Company” in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.



5






In August 2005, Asia Cork, through Kushi Sub, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Asia Cork ("Acquisition Sub") acquired all the ownership interest in Hanxin (Cork) International Holding Co., Ltd. ("Hanxin International"), a British Virgin Islands limited liability corporation, organized in September 2004. Asia Cork acquired Hanxin International in exchange for shares of common stock and shares of the Series A Preferred Stock of Asia Cork. The capitalizations are described in further detail in Note 14 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent to the merger and upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the former shareholders of Hanxin International will own 95% of the outstanding shares of Asia Cork's common stock. As a result of the ownership interests of the former shareholders of Hanxin International, for financial statement reporting purposes, the merger was treated as a reverse acquisition, with Hanxin International deemed the accounting acquirer and Kushi deemed the accounting acquiree. Historical information of the surviving company is that of Hanxin International.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company, through Hanxin acquired 75% equity interest of Cork Import and Export Co. Ltd. (“CIE”), a PRC corporation engages in cork trading businesses.

Hanxin International has no other business activities but owns 100% of Xi'An Cork Investments Consultative Management Co., Ltd. ("Xi'An"), which owns 92% of Xian Hanxin Technology Co., Ltd. ("Hanxin"), incorporated in July 2002, both Xi'An and Hanxin are People's Republic of China (“PRC”) corporations. Most of the Company’s activities are conducted through Hanxin.

Hanxin is engaged in developing, manufacturing and marketing of cork wood floor, wall and decorating materials. Its products are sold to customers in China and oversea customers in India, the United States of America, Germany and Japan through the distributors or agents.

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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates in 2009 and 2008 include the estimated useful lives and fair values of the assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

d)

Revenue recognition:

The Company's revenues from the sale of products are recognized when the goods are shipped, title passes, the sales price to the customer is fixed and collectability is reasonably assured. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via purchase order from distributor, our customers, product delivery is evidenced by warehouse shipping log as well as signed bill of lading, or shipping documents from the trucking company and no product return is allowed except defective or damaged products, the sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of purchase order, there is no separate sales rebate, discounts, and volume incentives.

e)

Income taxes

The Company and its U. S. subsidiary will file consolidated federal income taxes return and state franchise tax annual report individually. The Company's PRC subsidiaries file income tax returns under the Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and local income tax laws. The Company's BVI subsidiary is exempt from income taxes.

The Company follows ASC740 – “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.


f)

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services. The fair value of the option issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. Fair value is measured as the value of the Company’s common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital

g)

Foreign currency translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currencies of the Company's subsidiaries are local currencies, primarily the Chinese Renminbi. The financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues and expenses. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in other comprehensive income or loss.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (“Codification”) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of ASC 105, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. ASC 105 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Adoption of ASC 105 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), which improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. ASC 810 addresses (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities , as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in SFAS 166 and (2) concerns about the application of certain key provisions of FIN 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. ASC 810 shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within the first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. Adoption of ASC 810 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855, Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. An entity should apply the requirements of ASC 855 to interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. Adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

LOAN TO UNRELATED PARTY

Hanxin had prepaid RMB10 million as deposits to purchase the land use right from one of its major sales distributors in Shaanxi Province, Shaanxi Shuta Wood Products Co., Ltd. (“Shaanxi Shuta”). However, Hanxin terminated the agreement in August 2008 and had all deposits refunded in August and September 2008.

In 2008, Shaanxi Shuta opened cork retail chain stories dedicated to sell Hanxin’s products exclusively. Shaanxi Shuta incurred heavy losses because Hanxin could not achieve its 500,000 square meters floor and board production plan in 2008 and had delayed many purchase orders. In order to avoid losing a very important distribution channel and to assist Shaanxi Shuta to recover from this situation, Hanxin loaned RMB10 million (equivalent to $1,464,916) to Shaanxi Shuta for one year starting from October 27, 2008. This loan is non-interest bearing and unsecured. On October 28, 2009, Hanxin signed a loan agreement with Shaanxi Shuta and loaned the same amount of RMB10 million to Shaanxi Shuta again for the term from October 27, 2009 to October 27, 2011. This loan is also non-interest bearing and unsecured.

On October 20, 2009, Hanxin also signed a forgiveness memo with Shaanxi Shuta to express its sincerity to acquire 7,000 acres land use right in Baoji District Shaanxi Providence from Shaanxi Shuta within two years starting from October 20, 2009. In consider of the expenditure of Shaanxi Shuta in acquired the land use right for Hanxin, Hanxin promise to purchase this land use right within two years in the same amount of RMB37.8 million listed in prior agreement. If default, Hanxin is willing to pay Shaanxi Shuta all upfront operation costs that Shaanxi Shuta had paid to acquire the land use right from the Baoji District government. All these upfront operation costs are approximately RMB10 million.

DEPOSIT FOR PURCHASE OF FIXED ASSETS

Hanxin intended to purchase a factory’s fixed assets through an unrelated agent who will do the negotiation for the Company, and both parties signed the Entrust Purchase Agreement on November 10, 2005. Hanxin had paid deposits $2,021,584 (equivalent to RMB 13,800,000) to the agent as of September 30, 2009, and the same deposit was valued at $2,022,719 (equivalent to RMB 13,800,000) as of December 31, 2008. The agency agreement has no firm commitment on the purchase but it states a maximum price of RMB 50,000,000 that the Company is willing to pay for the fixed assets. However, due to the dissension within the factory’s creditors, the agent could not close this purchase agreement on time. As a result, Hanxin had a supplementary agreement with this agent on September 27, 2009 to postpone the term. Pursuant to the supplementary agreement, the deposit which Hanxin had paid to the agent is fully refundable if the purchase does not go through by June 30, 2010.

11. CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND WARRANTS

On June 4 and June 12, 2008, the Company consummated an offering of convertible promissory notes and common stock purchase warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of $700,000. The notes mature one (1) year from the date of issuance and bear interest at an annual rate of 18%, payable at maturity in USD. Upon the successful closing of an equity or convertible debt financing for a minimum of $2,000,000 ("Financing"), the promissory notes will be convertible into shares of common stock at a 50% discount to the price per share of Common Stock sold in the Financing. Since the Financing was not achieved within the one year term of the promissory notes, each investor has the option to be paid the principal and interest due under the promissory note or convert the note into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.228 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time after the consummation of the Financing through the fourth anniversary of the consummation of the Financing (the "Financing Expiration Date"). Each holder is entitled to purchase the number of shares of common stock equal to the initial principal amount of such investor's promissory note DIVIDED BY the lowest cash purchase price paid for the Company's common stock (or the conversion price or exercise price if the Financing consists of convertible securities or warrants, respectively) in the Financing (the "Financing Based Conversion Price") at an exercise price equal to the Financing Based Conversion Price. Since the Financing did not occur within 12 months of the issuance of the warrant, the warrant is exercisable from and

after such date and through the fourth anniversary of the issuance date of the warrant. In such event, the holder is entitled to purchase the number of shares of common stock equal to 50% of the initial principal amount of the promissory note DIVIDED BY $0.228 at an exercise price



12






equal to $0.228, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the warrant. Since the notes were not paid at maturity in June 2009, the annual interest rate payable since the maturity date increased to 24%.. The interest payable regarding the convertible notes has been accrued and recorded as of September 30, 2009. However, the extension of due date for notes is still under negotiation as of November 11 2009, but there can be no assurance that the holders of the convertible notes will agree to extend the due date or the terms of such extension. The different amount between the option price in declared date and warrant conversion price $0.228 time total entitled warrant shares had been charged directly to warrant cost compensation, and the sum was add to additional paid-in capital-stock option in amount of $279,386 as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

The Company’s obligations under the promissory notes are secured by an aggregate of 7,630,814 shares of common stock pledged by Mr. Pengcheng Chen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Fangshe Zhang, the Company’s Chairman (the “Escrow Shares”). In the event that subsequent to the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the value of the Escrow Shares is less than 150% of the outstanding principal amount of the promissory notes for 10 consecutive trading days, then the holder of the promissory notes shall have the right to give the Company notice (the “Investor Notice”) to deposit or cause to be deposited additional Escrow Shares such that the value of the Escrow Shares based upon the volume weighted average price per share for the 20 trading days preceding the date of the Investor Notice, is equal to 150% of the outstanding principal amount of the promissory notes. The Company agreed to deposit or cause to be deposited such additional Escrow Shares within 30 days of the date of the Investor Notice. To the extent the Escrow Shares are not sufficient to meet the threshold of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of the promissory notes within 30 days after the Investor Notice, the Company shall grant to Investors a security interest on the Company’s tangible assets to the extent permitted under applicable law.

TAX PAYABLE

Asia Cork and its U. S. subsidiary will file consolidated Federal income tax and individually file state franchise tax annual report with the State of Delaware. Its PRC subsidiaries file income tax returns under the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and local income tax laws. The Company’s BVI subsidiary is exempt from income taxes.

Per PRC Income Tax Law, any new foreign owned corporation is exempt from income tax for the first two years of existence, and then receives a 50% exemption of income tax for the next three years if it is a non high-tech corporation or 15% tax rate for corporation qualified by State Science and Technology Commission as "High Tech Manufacturing Enterprise" located in State "High Tech Zone" approved by China State Council. Based on these regulations, Hanxin was exempt from income tax in year 2003 and 2004 and its income has been subject to a 15% tax starting from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2007. Since Hanxin is qualified as a High Tech Manufacturing Enterprise and located in State “High Tech Zone”, it is also qualified for 15% income tax rate for year 2008 and the year after. However, CIE is not a “High Tech Manufacturing Enterprise”, thus its income is subject to 33% tax rate. Commencing from January 2008, based on the new regulation in the PRC, CIE’s income is subject to 25% tax rate.

Geographical Risks:

Substantially all of the Company’s assets and operations were in the PRC for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in PRC, and by the general state of the economy of PRC. The Company’s operations in PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the United States. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by, among other things, changes in the political, economic and social conditions in PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, changes in PRC's cork manufacture industry and regulatory rules and policies, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF
OPERATION

The following analysis of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, including footnotes, and other information presented in our annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2009.

Overview

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 1, 1996. The Company was formed in connection with the merger acquisition of Kushi Macrobiotics Corp. (“KMC”) with American Phoenix Group, Inc. (“APGI”) in 1996. Prior to such acquisition, KMC had operated a business of marketing a line of natural foods (the “Kushi Cuisine”). This business was not successful and management determined that it would be in the shareholder’s interest for KMC to operate a different business. In August 2005, the Company, through Kushi Sub, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Acquisition Sub") acquired all the ownership interest in Hanxin (Cork) International Holding Co., Ltd. ("Hanxin International"), a British Virgin Islands limited liability corporation, organized in September 2004. The Company acquired Hanxin International in exchange for 24,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, which such shares converted into 29,530,937 shares of common stock. Subsequent to the merger and upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the former shareholders of Hanxin International currently own 95% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.

Kushi Sub, the surviving entity of the merger with Hanxin International, has no other business activities other than owning 100% of Xi'An Cork Investments Consultative Management Co., Ltd. ("Xi'An"), which owns 92% of Xian Hanxin Technology Co., Ltd. ("Hanxin"), incorporated in July 2002, both Xi'An and Hanxin are People's Republic of China (PRC) corporations. Most of the Company’s operating and business activities are conducted through Hanxin.

On July 11, 2008, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Asia Cork Inc. was merged into its parent, the Company as approved by the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company is the surviving company of the merger and Certificate of Incorporation is otherwise unchanged. The wholly-owned subsidiary was formed in July 2008 and had no material assets. The Certificate of Merger was filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on July 11, 2008.

As permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company assumed the name of its wholly owned subsidiary following the merger and now operates under the name Asia Cork Inc. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “AKRK.OB.”

Business Overview

We are a holding company based in Xi’an China whose primary business operations are conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiary Hanxin International, and its subsidiaries, Hanxin and Cork I&E. We are engaged in the development, manufacture and distribution of cork wood floor, wall, sheets, rolls and other cork decorating materials in China and other countries. Cork is a ‘green’ renewable resource harvested only from the bark of the cork oak tree, thus leaving forests generally undamaged. The Company’s product lines include raw cork materials, semi-finished cork and finished cork products such as cork floorboards and cork wallboards.

Hanxin is the manufacturing subsidiary that produces cork-building material sold under the Hanxin brand name and on a private label basis. Approximately 70% of Hanxin's products sold in 2009 were to customers in foreign countries, among which 25% is sold by our sales team directly to the overseas markets under Hanxin’s brand name, 30% through unrelated export distributors under their private label, and around 15% sold to other domestic cork product manufacturers who reprocess our products and sell the end products to overseas markets under their private label. The rest 30% are sold to customers in China by our own sales persons, and domestic distributors and agents Our Chairman who is also a principal shareholder owns several cork processing technology related patents in China. The Company has the right to use 17 patents, including three which Mr. Zhang has assigned to Hanxin.  .

Our objective is to utilize the cost advantages of being based in China in order to become a leading cork flooring producer. In order to achieve our objectives, we intend to, among other things, increase our sales and marketing efforts, enhance production capacity, ensure our raw material incoming source, acquire other cork manufacturing factories and other cork exporting companies in China, export our cork products to oversea countries by our own sales network, and establish our own cork plantation in the world. Provided that our expansion plans above mentioned can succeed, we expect that our production capacity will increase substantially. There is no assurance that we will be able to achieve these objectives.

Foreign Exchange Considerations

Even though we are a U.S. company, because all of our operations are located in the PRC, we face certain risks associated with doing business in that country. These risks include risks associated with the ongoing transition from state business ownership to privatization, operating in a cash-based economy, dealing with inconsistent government policies, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, export restrictions, tariffs and other trade barriers, challenges in staffing and managing operations in a communist country, differences in technology standards, employment laws and business practices, longer payment cycles and problems in collecting accounts receivable, changes in currency exchange rates and currency exchange controls. We are unable to control the vast majority of these risks associated both with our operations and the country in which they are located and these risks could result in significant declines in our revenues.

Because revenues from our operations in the PRC accounted for 100% of our consolidated net revenues, how we report net revenues from our PRC-based operations is of particular importance to understanding our financial statements. Transactions and balances originally denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts. Transactions and balances



19






in other currencies are converted into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation," and are included in determining comprehensive net income or loss. For foreign operations with the local currency as the functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated from the local currencies into U.S. dollars. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income or loss.

The functional currency of our Chinese subsidiaries is the Chinese RMB, the local currency. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations and were not material during the periods presented. Until 1994, the RMB experienced a gradual but significant devaluation against most major currencies, including U.S. dollars, and there was a significant devaluation of the RMB on January 1, 1994 in connection with the replacement of the dual exchange rate system with a unified managed floating rate foreign exchange system. Since 1994, the value of the RMB relative to the U.S. Dollar has remained stable and has appreciated slightly against the U.S. dollar. Countries, including the United States, have argued that the RMB is artificially undervalued due to China's current monetary policies and have pressured China to allow the RMB to float freely in world markets.

On July 21, 2005, the PRC reported that it would have its currency pegged to a basket of currencies rather than just tied to a fixed exchange rate to the dollar. It also increased the value of its currency 2% higher against the dollar, effective immediately. If any devaluation of the RMB were to occur in the future, returns on our operations in China, which are expected to be in the form of RMB, will be negatively affected upon conversion to U.S. dollars. Although we attempt to have most future payments, mainly repayments of loans and capital contributions, denominated in U.S. dollars, if any increase in the value of the RMB were to occur in the future, our product sales in China and in other countries may be negatively affected.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Management believes that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide useful and reliable financial information about our operating results and financial condition

The Company records property and equipment at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which are from 1 to 35 years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. We review the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.

The Company's revenues from the sale of products are recognized when the goods are shipped, title passes, the sales price to the customer is fixed and collectability is reasonably assured. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via purchase order from customer, product delivery is evidenced by warehouse shipping log as well as bill of lading from the trucking company and no product return is allowed except defective or damaged products, the sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of purchase order, there is no separate sales rebate, discounts, and volume incentives.

Revenues

Entering the third quarter of 2009, our business revived as the market for our products recovered from the low levels of the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, our revenues were $10,151,002 as compared to $8,958,570 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $1,192,432 or 13.31%. The primary reason for the increase was the significant improvement in the market condition for home and commercial renovation in China and the success of our marketing efforts.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

During the three months ended September 30, 2009, cost of sales amounted to $6,481,710 or 63.85% of net revenues as compared to cost of sales of $5,810,298 or 64.86% of net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Gross profit during the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $3,669,292 or 36.15% of revenues, as compared to $3,148,272 or 35.14% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The gross margin increased mainly as a result of slightly reduced manufacture costs in the third quarter of 2009, compared to the same quarter of 2008.

Operating Expenses

During the three months ended September 30, 2009, total operating expenses increased to $2,031,796 by 51.2%, or $688,044, compared to $1,343,752 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. This increase was attributable to an increase in selling expenses, freight costs and commissions associated with our increased revenue, and bad debt allowance. Likewise, our general and administrative costs during the three months ended September 30, 2009, was increased by 19.29% to $228,127, as compared to $191,235 during the same period of 2008. The increase s was primarily attributable to increased research and development efforts and fees in order to acquire advanced technology of cork manufacture, professional advisory fees, and legal fees in the third quarter of 2009.

Other Income (expense)

During the three months ended September 30, 2009, we realized ($17,996) of net other expense, as compared to the net other expense of ($18,219) during the same period of 2008, a decrease of $223 or 1.22%.

During the three months ended September 30, 2009, net other income was $26,260 as compared to net other income $25,705 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, The increase of $555 or 2.16% in net other income was due to the rental income we realized from the rental of our entertainment facility. This rental income was offset by the franchise taxes accrued for the State of Delaware.

During the three months ended September 30, 2009, net interest expense was ($44,256) as compared to net interest expenses of ($43,924) for three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $332, or 0.76%. This increase was primarily attributable to the increased interest rate of 24% applied to promissory notes for the third quarter of 2009 since the Company was unable to pay the promissory notes when due on their original maturity dates in June 2009. This increased interest expenses had been offset by reduced interest expenses from other notes



22






payable in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to the same quarter of 2008. As a result, the net interest expenses in the third quarter of 2009 slightly increased as compared to net interest expenses in the third quarter 2008.

Income Tax

The income taxes increased by $19,530 or 7.23% to $289,547 during the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $270,017 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.. This increase was primarily due to deferred taxes valuation allowance occurred in the third quarter of 2009. The Company's tax-exempt status ended as of December 31, 2004. Hanxin has been subject to a 15% corporate income tax starting from 2005. CIE is subject to 33% and 25% corporate income tax before and after January 1, 2008, respectively.

Net Income

As a result of improved revenues and increased operating expenses due to the increased marketing efforts in a revived economy, we realized $1,224,097 in net income in the third quarter of 2009, a decrease of $172,076 or 12.32% from $1,396,173 during the same period of 2008. Should the market for our products continue to be recovered, we expect that our revenues will continue to grow while operating expenses remain stable and that as a result our operating results may continue to improve in the coming months.

Revenues

Our business continued to improve during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as the market for our products improved in China, although revenue declined to $17,056,777 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $17,841,299 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, The decreased revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was mainly due to the adverse market condition for home and commercial renovation during the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, compared to the prior periods. However, our business has improved as the market recovered during the second and third quarter of 2009.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, cost of sales amounted to $11,032,415 or 64.68% of net revenues as compared to cost of sales of $11,666,418 or 65.39% of net revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Gross profit during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $6,024,362 or 35.32% of revenues, as compared to $6,174,881 or 34.61% of revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The gross margin during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 is almost same as the same period of 2008. The gross margin increased slightly as a result of slightly reduced manufacture costs in the current year of 2009, compared to the same period of 2008.

Operating Expenses

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, total operating expenses were $3,204,194 as compared to $2,870,555 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $333,639 or 11.62%. This increase was attributable to an increase in selling expenses, freight costs and commissions associated with our increased revenue, and bad debt allowance. Our accounts receivable outstanding more than six months declined from $1,741,487 of the $4,979,792 total accounts receivable at December 31, 2008 to nearly none of the total of $5,599,865 in accounts receivable at September 30, 2009. In addition, commencing from July 2009, we adopted a bad debt allowance at 5% of the outstanding account receivable at. September 30, 2009 which increased the bad debt expenses to $253,104, compared to $9,052 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Meanwhile, our general and administrative costs were reduced to $480,882, a decrease of $125,070 or 20.64%, compared to $605,952 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to offset part of the increase in selling expenses and bad debt allowance. The decrease in general and administrative costs was primarily attributable to decreased consulting fees, advisory fees and professional fees during the nine months ended September 30. 2009 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Other Income (expense)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, other expense, net, amounted to $22,540 as compared to other expense, net of $45,641 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $23,101 or 50.61%.

Other expense, net during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 is related to the income received from the rental of our entertainment facility. This rental income was primarily offset by the franchise tax accrued for the State of Delaware and the donation contribution

made by the Company during the three months ended September 30, 2008 in the amount of $71,822 and which such donation was made in connection with the earthquake in Sichuan PRC.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net interest expense was $101,300 as compared to net interest expenses of $76,312 during nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $24,988, or 32.74%. This increase was primarily attributable to the Company acquiring convertible promissory note in June 2008, and its interest rate had been increased to 24% from 18% after default the original mature date on June 4, 2009. Accordingly, more interest expenses had been accrued during the nine months of 2009 as compared to same period of 2008.

Income Tax

The income taxes decreased by $18,269 to $477,029 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $495,298 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of 3.69%. This decrease was primarily due to an increased operating expense during the nine months of 2009 as compared to the same period of 2008. . The Company's tax-exempt status ended as of December 31, 2004. Hanxin is subject to a 15% corporate income tax starting from year 2005. CIE is subject to 33% and 25% corporate income tax before and after January 1, 2008, respectively.

Net Income

Our net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $2,138,842 compared to $2,548,030. Such a decrease was due to our dropped revenues and increase operating expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same period of 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating working capital was $9,092,862 on September 30, 2009, an increase of $369,588 or 4.24% compared to $8,723,274 at December 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $520,153 in cash and equivalents and an increase of $4,552,102 in inventories, respectively, as of September 30, 2009. However, these increases were significantly offset by the decrease in the current assets related to a loan to unrelated party, and the increase in current liabilities for tax payable and account payable and accrued expenses on September 30, 2009.

Cash provided by operating activities was $1,450,075 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to ($1,279,091) used in during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This increase was primarily because we advance less money to our suppliers during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period of last year.

Cash used in investing activities was $708,962 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $1,162,600 in the same period 2008. The financing cash inflow increase during the first nine months of 2008 was primarily because a deposit for the purchase of intangible assets was refunded in September 2008.

Cash used in financing activities was $224,132 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $567,450 in the same period 2008. The greater financing cash inflow during the first nine months of 2008 was primarily because we issued convertible notes in the principal amount of $700,000 in June 2008.

On June 4 and June 12, 2008, the Company consummated an offering of convertible promissory notes and common stock purchase warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of $700,000. The notes mature one (1) year from the date of issuance and bore interest at an annual rate of 18%, payable at maturity in USD. Since the notes were not paid at maturity, the annual interest rate increased to 24%.Upon the successful closing of an equity or convertible debt financing for a minimum of $2,000,000 ("Financing"), the promissory notes will be convertible into shares of common stock at a 50% discount to the price per share of Common Stock sold in the Financing. Since the Financing was not achieved within the one year term of the promissory notes, each investor has the option to be paid the principal and interest due under the promissory note or convert the note into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.228 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time after the consummation of the Financing through the fourth anniversary of the consummation of the Financing (the "Financing Expiration Date"). Each holder is entitled to purchase the number of shares of common stock equal to the initial principal amount of such investor's promissory note DIVIDED BY the lowest cash purchase price paid for the Company's common stock (or the conversion price or exercise price if the Financing consists of convertible securities or warrants, respectively) in the Financing (the "Financing Based Conversion Price") at an exercise price equal to the Financing Based Conversion Price. Since the Financing did not occur within 12 months of the issuance of the warrant, the warrant is exercisable from and

after such date and through the fourth anniversary of the issuance date of the warrant. In such event, the holder is entitled to purchase the number of shares of common stock equal to 50% of the initial principal amount of the promissory note DIVIDED BY $0.228 at an exercise price equal to $0.228, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the warrant. The interest payable regarding the convertible notes has been accrued and recorded as of September 30, 2009. However, satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the notes is under negotiation as of November 11 2009, but there can be no assurance that the holders of the convertible notes will agree to extend the due date or the terms of such extension. The promissory notes are secured by Common Stock pledged by Pengcheng Chen, our Chief Executive Officer and Fangshe Zhang, our Chairman. However, at the present time, we do not have sufficient cash or cash equivalents to repay the promissory should the investors demand payment. The Company is seeking alternate financing, but there is no assurance it will be obtained.

With approximately $9.1 million of net working capital (total current assets less total current liabilities), improvements in our collections of accounts receivable and positive cash flow from operations as of September 30, 2009, we believe we will have sufficient resources to finance our operations for the coming year.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operations discusses the Company's financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, intangible assets, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation.



26






Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources, primarily allowance for doubtful accounts and accruals for other liabilities. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

INFLATION

During the period under review, inflation did not have a material impact on our financial performance.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Pengcheng Chen, and Chief Financial Officer, Yi Tong, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the most recent year ended December 31, 2008, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) ) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
