Based upon a review of these outstanding gross accounts receivable balances from related parties for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Company established allowances for doubtful accounts with respect thereto in the amount of $598,034.
As is customary in the PRC, the Company extends relatively long payment terms to our customers as compared with those customary in the United States, with sales to both third parties and related parties generally requiring payment within four to six months. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the average time of payment on accounts receivable from related parties was about nine months. Based upon the Company’s long-standing relationship with these related parties and their respective principals, the Company believes that related party receivables are collectible. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, there is no company-related issue with respect to any related party that might be delaying payment, nor are there any negative issues impacting our relationship with any related party.
