In the first transaction, Wonder entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Hong Kong Friend Birch Limited, a Hong Kong corporation, which held 40.81% equity interest in Jinzhou Wanyou. In the second transaction, Jinzhou Halla entered another Share Purchase Agreement with Jinzhou Wonder Auto Suspension System Co., Ltd., which held 38.78% equity ownership in Jinzhou Wanyou.

Additionally, Wonder, upon 30 days written notice, may require Lin Tan to repurchase shares of Money Victory owned by Wonder for cash at a price that equates to an annualized return to Wonder of no less than 20% of the amount originally invested in Money Victory. Wonder’s investment in Money Victory is also subject to a so-called “make good” provision, of which Lin Tan will be required to transfer 347,222 shares and 347,222 shares of common stock of Golden Elephant to Wonder at zero consideration in the event that Nevstar fails to attain net income of $10 million in 2008 and $14 million in 2009 respectively.

On May 15, 2008, Wonder and Jinzhou Wanyou entered into two separate agreements with Advance Sun Group Limited (“Advance”), a limited company organized in the British Virgin Islands, and a third party Chu Hai Tao , pursuant to which Wonder and Jizhou Wanyou agreed to acquire Advance’s 32% and Chu Hai Tao’s 68% equity interest in Fuxin Huirui Mechanical Co. Ltd. (“Fuxin Huirui“) at par value of registered capital at cash considerations of $45,117 and $95,873 respectively. Upon the completion of the transaction on May 15, 2008, Fuxin Huirui became a subsidiary of the Company. Fuxin Huirui is a development stage’s company before acquisition. After the acquisition, Fuxin Huirui is engaged in manufacturing of auto parts, mechanical parts and electrical parts

Summary of significant accounting policies

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

On January 1, 2008, the Company acquired 50% equity interest in Jinzhou Hanhua from Winning at a cash consideration of $4.10 million (RMB29.75 million). Upon the completion of the transaction on January 1, 2008, Jinzhou Hanhua was considered as a subsidiary of the Company as Wonder obtained control over Jinzhou Hanhua by appointing more than half of members in the board of directors in accordance with Jinzhou Hanhua’s amended Memorandum and Articles of Association of which a valid board action only requires the approval of more than half of board members.
 
The consideration is scheduled to be paid by Wonder in two installments. The first installment of approximately $3.1 million (RMB 22.55 million) was fully paid on January 28, 2008. The second installment of approximately $1 million (RMB 7.2 million) will be paid if Jinzhou Hanhua achieves minimum net income of approximately $1.17 million (RMB 8.5 million) for the fiscal year ending 31 December 2008. If Jinzhou Hanhua fails to achieve the minimum net income threshold, the second installment will be proportionately reduced. No premium will be payable by Wonder if Jinzhou Hanhua exceeds the minimum net income threshold. As of March 31, 2008, the second installment of $1 million was included in the cost of acquisition as the management believed that, based on the net income forecast of Jinzhou Hanhua for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, Jinzhou Hanhua will achieve the minimum net income threshold.

Investments in a non-consolidated affiliate

Equity method investments are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize (i) our proportionate share of the investees net income or losses after the date of investment; (ii) additional contributions made and dividends or distributions received; and (iii) impairment losses resulting from adjustments to net realizable value. We assess the potential impairment of our equity method investments. We determine fair value based on valuation methodologies, as appropriate, including the present value of estimated future cash flows, estimates of sales proceeds, and external appraisals. If an investment is determined to be impaired and the decline in value is other than temporary, we record an appropriate write-down.

Goodwill (Cont’d)

(i)
The amount represents a goodwill identified upon acquisition of Jinzhou Dongwoo Precision Co., Ltd. (“Jinzhou Dongwoo”) amounting to $2.77 million which represents the excess of the purchase price of $4.85 million over the attributable share of fair value of acquired identifiable net assets of Jinzhou Dongwoo of $2.08 million at the time of acquisition on August 23, 2006.

Pursuant to Wonder’s August 23, 2006 Dongwoo Share Purchase Agreement with Winning for the acquisition of a 50% equity interest of Jinzhou Dongwoo, all the 2005 distributable profit of Jinzhou Dongwoo shall be owned by the shareholders in Jinzhou Dongwoo before the signing date of the Dongwoo Share Purchase Agreement on condition that any distribution of such distributable profit to them will not cause any shortage of Jinzhou Dongwoo’s working capital.

On February 6, 2007, after considering the sufficiency of Jinzhou Dongwoo’s working capital, the board of the directors of Jinzhou Dongwoo declared a cash dividend to the former shareholders amounting to $0.68 million in respect of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Pursuant to the Dongwoo Share Purchase Agreement, Winning was entitled to its portion of $0.34 million. Since it represents the distribution of pre-acquisition profits of Jinzhou Dongwoo, a corresponding upward adjustment to goodwill was made as an additional contingent consideration in the first quarter of 2007.

(ii)
The amount represents a goodwill identified upon the acquisition of 79.59% equity interest in Jinzhou Wanyou amounting to $12.16 million which represents the excess of the initial purchase price of $14.42 million over the attributable share of fair value of acquired identifiable net assets of Jinzhou Wanyou of $2.26 million at the time of acquisition on April 2, 2007.

(iii)
The amount represents a goodwill identified upon the acquisition of 50% equity interest in Jinzhou Hanhua amounting to $0.99 million which represents the excess of the initial purchase price of $4.10 million over the attributable share of fair value of acquired identifiable net assets of Jinzhou Hanhua of $3.11 million at the time of acquisition on January 1, 2008.

Concentrations of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade and bills receivables. As of June 30, 2008, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality. With respect to trade and bills receivables, the Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade receivables and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts of trade receivables.

Regarding bills receivable, they are undertaken by the banks to honor the payments at maturity and the customers are required to place deposits with the banks equivalent to certain percentage of the bills amount as collateral. These bills receivable can be sold to any third party at a discount before maturity. The Company does not maintain allowance for bills receivable in the absence of bad debt experience and the payments are undertaken by the banks.

During the reporting periods, customers represented 10% or more of the Company’s condensed consolidated sales are:

Stock-based compensation

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R, which requires the use of the fair value method of accounting for share-based compensation. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost related to employee stock options or similar equity instruments which are equity-classified awards, is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the requisite service period, which is usually the vesting period. SFAS 123R also requires measurement of cost of a liability-classified award based on its current fair value.

Fair value of share options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes model. Under this model, certain assumptions, including the risk-free interest rate, the expected life of the options and the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock and the expected volatility, are required to determine the fair value of the options. If different assumptions had been used, the fair value of the options would have been different from the amount the Company computed and recorded, which would have resulted in either an increase or decrease in the compensation expense.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In May 2008, FASB issued SFAS 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. Effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Board does not expect that this Statement will result in a change in current practice. However, transition provisions have been provided in the unusual circumstance that the application of the provisions of this Statement results in a change in practice. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact that SFAS 162 will have on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133". SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact that SFAS 160 will have on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

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 that SFAS 160 will have on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised) “Business Combinations”. SFAS 141 (Revised) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact that SFAS 141 (Revised) will have on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

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” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Entities that elect the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with few exceptions. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The requirements of SFAS 159 are effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. The adoption of this statement has no material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Income taxes (Cont’d)

PRC

Corporate income tax (“CIT”) to Jinzhou Halla, Jinzhou Dongwoo, Jinzhou Wanyou, Jinzhou Hanhua and Jinzhou Karham in the PRC is charged at 27%, of which 24% is for national tax and 3% is for local tax, of the assessable profits. On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress approved the Corporate Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “New CIT Law”). The new CIT Law reduces the corporate income tax rate from 33% to 25% with effect from January 1, 2008. As approved by the relevant tax authority in the PRC, Jinzhou Halla, Jinzhou Dongwoo, Jinzhou Wanyou, Jinzhou Hanhua, Jinzhou Karham and Fuxin Huirui were entitled to two years’ exemption, from the first profit making calendar year of operations after offset of accumulated taxable losses, followed by a 50% tax reduction for the immediate next three calendar years (“tax holiday”). The tax holiday of Jinzhou Halla commenced in the fiscal financial year of 2001. Accordingly, Jinzhou Halla was subject to tax rate of 13.5% for 2003, 2004 and 2005. Furthermore, Jinzhou Halla, being a Foreign Investment Enterprise (“FIE”), engaged in an advanced technology industry, was approved to enjoy a further three years’ 50% tax reduction for 2006, 2007 and 2008. However, pursuant to the notices issued by the State Administration Taxation dated January 30, 2008 and April 14, 2008, Jinzhou Halla can continue to enjoy the preferential tax rate of 15% in 2008 upon its high technology industry status to be re-registered and approval by the relevant PRC authority. Before the re-registration and approval, Jinzhou Halla is subject to the statutory tax rate of 25%. The tax holiday of Jinzhou Dongwoo commenced in the fiscal year 2004. Accordingly, Jinzhou Dongwoo was subject to tax rate of 13.5% for 2006 and 2007, and we expect it will be subject to a tax rate of 12.5% for 2008. Jinzhou Wanyou has elected to commence the tax holiday in the fiscal year 2007. Accordingly, Jinzhou Wanyou will be exempted from CIT for 2007 and 2008 and thereafter entitled to a 50% reduction on CIT tax rate 12.5% for 2009, 2010 and 2011. The tax holiday of Jinzhou Hanhua commenced in the fiscal year 2005. Accordingly, Jinzhou Hanhua was subject to tax rate of 13.5% for 2007, and we expect it will be subject to a tax rate of 12.5% for 2008 and 2009. Jinzhou Karham has elected to commence the tax holiday in the fiscal year 2008. Accordingly, Jinzhou Karham will be exempted from CIT for 2008 and 2009 and thereafter entitled to a 50% reduction on CIT tax rate 12.5% for 2010, 2011 and 2012. The tax holiday of Fuxin Huirui commenced in the fiscal year 2008. Accordingly, Fuxin Huirui will be exempted from CIT for 2008 and 2009 and thereafter entitled to a 50% reduction on CIT tax rate 12.5% for 20010, 2011 and 2012. Wonder Motor and Jinzhou Wonder is subject to a tax rate of 25%.

Jinzhou Halla, Jinzhou Dongwoo, Jinzhou Wanyou, Jinzhou Hanhua, Jinzhou Karham and Fuxin Huirui, as FIEs, were entitled to another special tax concession which allows an amount equivalent to 40% qualifying domestic capital expenditure as defined and approved under the relevant PRC income tax rule to be used as an offset against the excess of the current year’s CIT over the prior year’s CIT. This special tax concession was terminated by the National People’s Congress on May 16, 2008. Jinzhou Halla and Jinzhou Dongwoo were entitled to another special tax concession. An amount equivalent to 50% of the current year’s domestic development expenses can be used as an offset against CIT. These two tax concessions, if unutilized in a particular year, can be carried forward for five years.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and considered that no additional provision for uncertainty in income taxes is necessary as of June 30, 2008.

Share-based compensation

The Company granted share options to employees, directors and consultants to reward for services.

Stock option plan

In April 30, 2008, the Board of Directors adopted the Wonder Auto Technology, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan was approved by the Annual General Meeting on June 20, 2008. The Plan authorizes the issuance of options up to 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The exercise price of the options granted, pursuant to the Plan, must be at least equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. The plan will terminate on May 1, 2018.

Pursuant to the Plan, the Company issued 270,000 options with an exercise price of $9 per share on May 6, 2008. One third of the options will vest and become exercisable on each of the filing dates of the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for fiscal years 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively, upon the achievement of certain income thresholds which set to be $22 million for fiscal year 2008, $30.8 million for fiscal year 2009 and $43.15 million for fiscal year 2010.

No compensation expense arising from abovementioned share options granted was recognized for six months ended Jun 30, 2008 as the amount was immaterial to these financial statements.

The fair values of the above option awards were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option Valuation Model and graded vesting method together with the following assumptions.

Segment information

The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. Management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by monthly revenue of alternator, starter and rods and shafts and operating results of the Company and, as such, the Company has determined that the Company has three operating segments as defined by SFAS 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”: Alternator, starter and rods and shafts.

Second Quarter Financial Performance Highlights

We continued to experience strong demand for our products during the second fiscal quarter of 2008, which resulted in continued growth in our sales revenue and net income. The automobile market in China, especially the market for small engine automobiles, continued to expand in the second quarter of 2008 due, in part, to the increase of gas price, the implementation of new PRC consumption tax regulations and the promulgation of new regulations which urge government agencies to use tax breaks and preferential oil-pricing policies to encourage consumers to buy low-emission automobiles. We were able to capitalize on this growth trend during the second fiscal quarter of 2008.

The following are some financial highlights for the second quarter of 2008:

Sales Revenue: Sales revenue increased $13.1 million, or 55.6%, to $36.7 million for the second quarter of 2008 from $23.6 million for the same period last year.

Gross Margin: Gross margin was 25.9% for the second quarter of 2008, as compared to 24.0% for the same period in 2007.
 
28

 
Net Income: Net income increased $1.4 million, or 37.4%, to $5.3 million for the second quarter of 2008, from $3.8 million for the same period of last year.

Fully diluted net income per share: Fully diluted net income per share was $0.20 for the second quarter of 2008, as compared to $0.16 for the same period last year.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007

Sales Revenue. Our sales revenue is generated from sales of our alternator and starter products, and increasingly from the sale of rods and shafts for use in shock absorbers, alternators and starters. Sales revenue increased $13.1 million, or 55.6%, to $36.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $23.6 million for the same period ended on June 30, 2007. This increase was mainly attributable to growth in the automobile market in China, increased market demand for our alternator and starter products and increased sales to our new and existing customers. The automobile market in China, especially the market for small engine automobiles, continued to expand in the three months ended June 30, 2008 due, in part, to the high global gas price. Management expects growth in sales revenue to remain strong and reach $39.0 million in the third quarter of 2008.
 
29

 
Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales is primarily comprised of the costs of our raw materials, components, labor and overhead. Our cost of sales increased $9.3 million, or 51.7%, to $27.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $17.9 million during the same period in 2007. This increase was mainly due to the increase of our sales revenue. As a percentage of sales revenue, the cost of sales decreased to 74.1% during the three months ended June 30, 2008 from 76.0% in the same period of 2007. The decrease of our cost of sales on a percentage basis in the second quarter of 2008 was mainly due to the decrease of per unit cost of products resulting from the economies of scale. We also benefited from more efficient cost control management and improved technology which allowed us to reduce raw material and component consumption per unit of production.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit is equal to the difference between our sales revenue and our cost of sales. Our gross profit increased $3.8 million, or 68.0%, to $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from approximately $5.7 million for the same period in 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of sales revenue was 25.9% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to 24.0% during the same period in 2007. Such percentage increase was mainly due to the decreased cost of sales as discussed above. Management expects the Company to maintain high gross margin in the third quarter of 2008 which is expected to exceed 25.5%.

Total Expenses. Our total expenses increased $885,359, or 48.4%, to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $1.8 million for the same period in 2007. The dollar increase was primarily attributable to increased administrative and selling expenses as discussed below. As a percentage of sales revenue, our total expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 decreased to 7.4% from 7.6% for the same period of last year as discussed below.

Administrative Expenses. Our administrative expenses consist of the costs associated with staff and support personnel who manage our business activities and professional fees paid to third parties. Our administrative expenses increased $518,874, or 57.0%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $910,106 for the same period in 2007. As a percentage of sales revenue, administrative expenses remained steady at 3.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to 3.9% for the same period in 2007. This dollar increase was primarily attributable to the consolidation of Jinzhou Hanhua and Jinzhou Karham and the increased professional expenses related to the costs of being a public reporting company after we moved to the Nasdaq Global Market. Because both companies are our suppliers, the addition of these two companies increased our administrative costs, but did not increase our sales revenue.

Research and Development Costs. Our research and development costs consist of amounts spent on developing new products and enhancing our existing products. Our research and development costs increased $76,491, or 35.7%, to $290,665 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $214,174 for the same period in 2007. We plan to continue to focus on the research and development of new materials and improve technology to reduce raw material consumption per unit of production. We expect to increase the amount of investments in research and development as revenues increase and will maintain the ratio of research and development costs to total sales revenue at approximately 1%.

Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses include sales commissions, the cost of advertising and promotional materials, salaries and fringe benefits of sales personnel, after-sale support services and other sales related costs. Our selling expenses increased $289,994 to or 41.1% , to $994,993 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $704,999 for the same period in 2007. The increase in the amount of selling expenses was mainly attributable to the increased warranty provision, sales commission and traveling expenses resulting primarily from the increase in sales revenue and increase of gas price. As a percentage of sales revenue, our selling expenses decreased to 2.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to 3.0% for the same period of last year. The decrease in percentage was mainly due to the improvement in the quality of our products which reduced our costs of after-sale services.

Financial costs. Our financial costs increased $28,424 to $621,314 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $592,890 for the same period in 2007. As a percentage of sales revenue, financial costs decreased to 1.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from 2.5% for the same period of last year. We have a loan in the amount of €8.3 million (approximately $13.1 million) outstanding. Since such loan is dominated in Euro and RMB appreciated against Euro during the three months ended June 30, 2008, we had a $299,429 foreign exchange gain during the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Income before Income Taxes. Income before income taxes increased $2.7 million, or 65.8%, to $6.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $4.1 million during the same period in 2007. Income before income taxes as a percentage of sales revenue increased to 14.4% during the three months ended June 30, 2008 from 17.3% during the same period in 2007 due to the factors described above.
 
Provision for Income Taxes.

United States

Wonder Auto Technology, Inc. is 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 for the reporting period.

BVI

Wonder Auto Limited was incorporated in the BVI and, under the current laws of the BVI, is not subject to income taxes.

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. FIEs established in Coastal Open Economic Zones, Special Economic Zones or Economic and Technical Development Zones, such as our PRC subsidiaries, were subject to a CIT rate of 27.0%, which is comprised of a 24.0% state income tax and a 3.0% local income tax. In addition, FIEs engaging in manufacturing businesses with a operating history of at least ten years may, subject to approval from local taxation authorities, be entitled to a two-year tax exemption from PRC CIT starting from the year they become profitable and a 50% tax reduction for the three years thereafter. As approved by the relevant PRC tax authority, our subsidiaries Jinzhou Halla, Jinzhou Dongwoo, Jinzhou Wanyou, Jinzhou Hanhua and Jinzhou Karham were entitled to a two-year exemption from CIT followed by a 50.0% tax exemption for the next three years, commencing from the first cumulative profit-making year in the fiscal financial year.

In addition, Jinzhou Halla, Jinzhou Dongwoo, Jinzhou Wanyou, Jinzhou Hanhua and Jinzhou Karham, being FIEs, were entitled to a special tax concession which allows an amount equal to 40.0% of the qualifying domestic capital expenditures (as defined and approved under the relevant PRC income tax rule) to be used as an offset against the excess of the current year’s CIT over the prior year’s CIT. Jinzhou Halla and Jinzhou Dongwoo also were entitled to another special tax concession, an amount equivalent to 50.0% of the current year’s domestic development expenses can be used as an offset against CIT. These two tax concessions, if unutilized in a particular year, can be carried forward for five years.

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China passed the new Corporate Income Tax Law (“CIT Law”), and on November 28, 2007, the State Council of China passed the Implementing Rules for the CIT Law (“Implementing Rules”) which took effect on January 1, 2008. The CIT Law and Implementing Rules impose a unified CIT of 25.0% on all domestic-invested enterprises and FIEs, unless they qualify under certain limited exceptions. Therefore, nearly all FIEs are subject to the new tax rate alongside other domestic businesses rather than benefiting from the old FIE tax laws and its associated preferential tax treatments, beginning January 1, 2008.

Despite these pending changes, the CIT Law gives the FIEs established before March 16, 2007 (“Old FIEs”) a five-year grandfather period during which they can continue to enjoy their existing preferential tax treatments. During this five-year grandfather period, the Old FIEs which enjoyed tax rates lower than 25% under the original CIT Law shall gradually increase their CIT rate by 2% per year until the tax rate reaches 25%. In addition, the Old FIEs that are eligible for the “two-year exemption and three-year half reduction” or “five-year exemption and five-year half-reduction” under the original CIT Law, are allowed to remain to enjoy their preference until these holidays expire. The discontinuation of any such special or preferential tax treatment or other incentives would have an adverse effect on any organization’s business, fiscal condition and current operations in China.

In addition to the changes to the current tax structure, under the CIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a resident enterprise and will normally be subject to a CIT of 25.0% on its global income. The Implementing Rules define the term “de facto management bodies” as “an establishment that exercises, in substance, overall management and control over the production, business, personnel, accounting, etc., of a Chinese enterprise.” If the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that the Company should be classified as a resident enterprise, then the organization’s global income will be subject to PRC income tax of 25.0%.

Jinzhou Halla is subject to a CIT rate of 25.0%. Jinzhou Dongwoo and Jinzhou Hanhua are each subject to a CIT rate of 12.5% in 2008. Jinzhou Wanyou and Jinzhou Karham are exempt from CIT in 2008.

Our provision for income taxes increased $830,516 to $796,426 during the three months ended June 30, 2008 from -$34,090 during the same period in 2007. Jinzhou Halla received a tax refund of $426,325 in the second quarter of 2007 resulting from its purchase of qualifying domestic equipments. In addition, because of the implementation of the CIT law, Jinzhou Halla is subject to a CIT rate of 25% in the second quarter of 2008, as compared to 12.5% for the same period last year. Jinzhou Halla is in the process of applying for high technology enterprise status. If granted with such status, Jinzhou Halla will be subject to a CIT rate of 15%.

Minority Interest. Our financial statements reflect an adjustment to our consolidated group net income, and our minority interest increased $417,028, or 150.7% to $693,734 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $276,076 for the same period in 2007, reflecting the minority interests held by third parties in Jinzhou Dong Woo, Jinzhou Hanhua and Jinzhou Karham.

Net income. Our net income increased $1.4 million to $5.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $3.8 million during the same period in 2007, as a result of the factors described above.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007

Sales Revenue. Sales revenue increased $22.7 million, or 50.2%, to $67.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $45.1 million for the same period ended on June 30, 2007. This increase was mainly attributable to growth in the automobile market in China, increased market demand for our alternator and starter products and increased sales to our new and existing customers. The automobile market in China, especially the market for small engine automobiles, continued to expand in the six months ended June 30, 2008 due, in part, to the high global gas price.

Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales increased $15.9 million, or 46.7%, to $50.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $34.2 million during the same period in 2007. This increase was mainly due to the increase of our sales revenue. As a percentage of sales revenue, the cost of goods sold decreased to 73.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 75.7% in the same period of 2007. Such decrease of our cost of sales on a percentage basis in the first second quarters of 2008 was mainly due to the decrease of per unit cost of products resulting from the economies of scale. We also benefited from more efficient cost control management and improved technology which allowed us to reduce raw material and component consumption per unit of production.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit increased $6.7 million, or 61.1%, to $17.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $11.0 million for the same period in 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of sales revenue was 26.1% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to 24.3% during the same period in 2007. Such percentage increase was mainly due to the decreased cost of sales as discussed above.

Total Expenses. Our total expenses increased $1.7 million, or 50.6%, to $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $3.4 million for the same period in 2007. As a percentage of sales revenue, our total expenses remained steady at 7.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to 7.6% for the same period in 2007. The dollar increase was primarily attributable to increased administrative and research and development expenses as discussed below.

Administrative Expenses. Our administrative expenses increased $1.2 million, or 75.5%, to $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $1.6 million for the same period in 2007. As a percentage of sales revenue, administrative expenses increased to 4.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to 3.5% for the same period in 2007. This dollar and percentage increase was primarily attributable to the consolidation of Jinzhou Hanhua and Jinzhou Karham and the increased professional expenses related to the costs of being a public reporting company after we moved to the Nasdaq Global Market. Because both companies are our suppliers, the addition of these two companies increased our administrative costs, but did not increase our sales revenue.

Research and Development Costs. Our research and development costs increased $190,602, or 39.9%, to $668,222 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $477,620 for the same period in 2007. As a percentage of sales revenue, research and development costs decreased to 1.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 1.1% for the same period in 2007.

Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses increased $346,235, or 25.5%, to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $1.4 million for the same period in 2007. The increase in the amount of selling expenses was mainly attributable to the increased warranty provision, sales commission and traveling expenses resulting primarily from the increase in sales revenue and higher gas price. As a percentage of sales revenue, our selling expenses decreased to 2.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to 3.0% for the same period of last year. The decrease in percentage was mainly due to the improvement in the quality of our products which reduced our costs of after-sale services.

Income before Income Taxes. Income before income taxes increased $4.2 million, or 56.2%, to $11.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $7.5 million during the same period in 2007. Income before income taxes as a percentage of sales revenue increased to 17.2% during the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 16.5% during the same period in 2007 due to the factors described above.

Provision for Income Taxes. Our provision for income taxes increased $794,519, or 183.6%, to $1.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $432,724 during the same period in 2007. As a percentage of sales revenue, our provision for income taxes increased to 1.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 1.0% for the same period of last year. The increases in amount and percentage was mainly because the increase of CIT rate of Jinzhou Halla in the second quarter of 2008 and Jinzhou Halla received a tax refund of $426,325 in the first six months of 2007 resulting from its purchase of qualifying domestic equipments.

Minority Interest. Minority interest reflected an adjustment to our consolidated group net income, and our minority interest increased $691,402, or 142.2%, to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30,2008 from $486,077 for the same period of last year, reflecting minority interests held by third parties in Jinzhou Dongwoo, Jinzhou Hanhua and Jinzhou Karham. 

Net income. Our net income increased $2.7 million, or 41.4 %, to $9.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $6.5 million during the same period in 2007, as a result of the factors described above.

Business Segment Information 
 
Our business operations can be categorized into three segments based on the type of products which we manufacture and sell, specifically alternators, starters, rods and shafts. Our alternator product line offerings are available in five series based on different sizes and output rates and come in over 150 models. Our starter product line offerings primarily consist of planetary type starters which are small and lightweight and come in over 70 models based on their size and power output. We started manufacturing shock absorbers in 2007 and targeted primarily to the international market outside China.

In the second quarter of 2008, our sales revenue from our alternator product line was $17.0 million, our sales revenue from our starter product line was $16.1 million and our sales from our rods and shafts product line was $3.6 million. Our alternator product line has provided a higher profit margin than our starter product line. Among the three principal products, shock absorber production enjoyed the fastest growth rate and the highest gross margin, reaching approximately 25-30%.

Additional information regarding our alternator, starter and rods and shafts product lines can be found at Note 12 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained under Part I, Item I “FINANCIAL STATEMENTS” above.

Operating Activities:

Net cash used in operating activities was $886,312 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, which is a decrease of $1.5 million from the $594,617 net cash provided in the same period in 2007. Such increase in net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was mainly due to the increase in trade receivables and inventories and the decrease in bills payable and other payables. As our business continues to grow, our trade receivables increase. We also increased inventories in anticipation of increased sales in the third quarter.

Investing Activities:

Our main uses of cash for investing activities are payments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment, acquisition of Jinzhou Hanhua, Jinzhou Karham and restricted cash pledged as deposit for bills payable issuance.

Net cash used in investing activities in the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 was $13.4 million which is an increase of $3.7 million from net cash used in investing activities of $9.6 million in the same period last year. Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2008 was mainly attributable to $5.0 million invested in Golden Elephant as discussed above, payments totaling $3.7 million to acquire Jinzhou Hanhua and Jinzhou Karham. In addition, we spent approximately $4.0 million in expanding production capacities of Jinzhou Wanyou and Jinzhou Halla. As compared to the same period last year, our restricted cash decreased $3.6 million. Due to our good credit with banks, the banks lowered the rate for pledged cash from approximately 50% to 30%-40%.

Financing Activities:

Net cash provided by financing activities in the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 totaled $9.7 million as compared to $10.3 million provided by financing activities in the same period of 2007. The decrease of the cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to the decrease of outstanding bank loans.

Our debt-to-equity ratio was 45.4% as of June 30, 2007. We plan to maintain our debt-to-equity ratio below 60%, increase the long-term loans, decrease the short-term loans and increase the ratio of the borrowing in foreign currency to take advantage of the expected increase of the value of RMB against the U.S. dollar. We believe we currently maintain a good business relationship with many banks.

In the second quarter 2008, we repaid two bank loans in the total amount of $892,576. Approximately $27.9 million bank loans will mature in the next twelve months. We plan to either repay this debt as it matures or refinance this debt.
 
We believe that we maintain good relationships with the various banks we deal with and our current available working capital, after receiving the aggregate proceeds from our planned capital raising activities and bank loans referenced above, should be adequate to sustain our operations at our current levels through at least the next twelve months.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results. See Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and stock-based compensation below, for a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments, or conditions.
 

 
·
Stock-Based Compensation. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R, which requires the use of the fair value method of accounting for share-based compensation. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost related to employee stock options or similar equity instruments is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. SFAS 123R also requires measurement of cost of a liability- classified award based on its current fair value. The fair value of the liability-classified award will be subsequently remeasured at each reporting date through the settlement date. Change in fair value during the requisite service period will be recognized as compensation cost over that period.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements:

In May 2008, FASB issued SFAS 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. Effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Our board does not expect that this Statement will result in a change in current practice. However, transition provisions have been provided in the unusual circumstance that the application of the provisions of this Statement results in a change in practice. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact that SFAS 162 will have on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133". SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact that SFAS 160 will have on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

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 that SFAS 160 will have on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised) “Business Combinations”. SFAS 141 (Revised) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact that SFAS 141 (Revised) will have on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

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” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Entities that elect the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with few exceptions. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The requirements of SFAS 159 are effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. The adoption of this statement has no material effect on the Company's financial statements.

We do not have any off-balance arrangements.

Seasonality

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.
 
ITEMS 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined by regulations of the SEC, means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosure. Each of Qingjie Zhao, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Meirong Yuan, our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008. Based upon their evaluation, these executive officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2008.  

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There has been no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
