Acquisition

 
(a)
On January 18, 2010, Wonder and Yearcity entered into two separate agreements with Novophalt (China) Limited, a company incorporated in BVI, and Wonder Employee Capital Limited (“WECL”), a company incorporated in BVI, for acquisition of their 20.90% and 17.46% equity interests in Applaud Group Limited (“Applaud”) at considerations of HK$62,915,086 (equivalent to approximately $8.12 million) and HK$52,534,672 (equivalent to approximately $6.78 million) respectively. Both considerations were settled in January, 2010. Since Mr. Zhao, a director of the Company, is the sole director and owner of WECL, the acquisition of 17.46% equity interest in Applaud from WECL constituted as a related party transaction.

Applaud, a company incorporated in BVI, is an investment holding company which only holds 50.62% equity interest in Jinheng Automotive Safety Technology Holdings Limited (“Jinheng Holdings”).  As a result of acquisition of 38.36% equity interest in Applaud, the Company effectively holds 19.42% equity interest in Jinheng Holdings. Jinheng Holdings is a high-tech automotive parts supplier that is primarily engaged in developing, manufacturing and selling components of automotive passive safety restraint systems (airbag and seatbelt), automotive engine electronic injection management systems (EMS), and components of diesel engines. Jinheng Holdings is listed on the Main Board of Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

 
(b)
On March 28, 2010, Jinzhou Halla entered into an equity transfer agreement (the “Equity Transfer Agreement”) with Jinzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone Bohai Iron Core Centre, a company incorporated in PRC for acquisition of its 25% equity interest in Jinzhou Wonder Auto Parts Co., Ltd (“Wonder Auto Parts”) at consideration of RMB2,565,000 (equivalent to approximately $0.38 million). The consideration was settled in June, 2010. Wonder Auto Parts is engaged in manufacturing and selling iron core for alternator.  

Investments in entities over which the Company does not have control, but has significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s investments in Applaud and Wonder Auto Parts are reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as investment in a non-consolidated affiliate.

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.

Concentrations of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and trade and bills receivables.  As of June 30, 2010, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash for issuing bills 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 representing 10% or more of the Company’s condensed consolidated sales are:

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (Included in amended Topic ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing”, previously Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an Amendment of Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 140.”). The amended topic addresses information a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about the transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. Also, the amended topic removes the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity, limits the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a financial asset, defines participating interest and enhances the information provided to financial statement users to provide greater transparency. The amended topic is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and was effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - Amended (Included in amended Topic ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”). The amended topic requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The amended topic also requires enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. The amended topic is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements (Cont’d)

The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements - A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” This update provides application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables should be separated and how the consideration should be allocated to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific or third-party evidence is available. The Company will be required to apply this guidance prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011; however, earlier application is permitted. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU update on the Company’s financial statements.

The FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 amends ASC Topic 820 to require the following additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements: (i) the amounts of transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; (ii) reasons for any transfers in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and (iii) the inclusion of information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements. ASU 2010-06 also amends ASC Topic 820 to clarify existing disclosure requirements, requiring fair value disclosures by class of assets and liabilities rather than by major category and the disclosure of valuation techniques and inputs used to determine the fair value of Level 2 and Level 3 assets and liabilities. With the exception of disclosures relating to purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of recurring Level 3 measurements, ASU 2010-06 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The disclosure requirements related to purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of recurring Level 3 measurements will be effective for financial statements for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010.  The management is in the process of evaluating the effect of disclosure requirements related to purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of recurring Level 3 measurements on this financial statements and result of operation and is currently not yet in a position to determine such effects.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements (Cont’d)

The FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810) Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary - a Scope Clarification”. This amendment affects entities that have previously adopted Topic 810-10 (formally SFAS 160). It clarifies the decrease in ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10 and removes the potential conflict between guidance in that Subtopic and asset derecognition and gain or loss recognition guidance that may exist in other US GAAP. An entity will be required to follow the amended guidance beginning in the period that it first adopts FAS 160 (now included in Subtopic 810-10). For those entities that have already adopted FAS 160, the amendments are effective at the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted FAS 160. The adoption of this ASU update has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events: Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, which amends FASB ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events. The update provides that SEC filers, as defined in ASU 2010-09, are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. The update also requires SEC filers to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued rather than the date the financial statements are available to be issued. The Company adopted ASU 2010-09 upon issuance. The adoption of this ASU update has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

PRC

Corporate income tax (“CIT”) to Jinzhou Halla, Jinzhou Dongwoo, Jinzhou Wanyou, Jinzhou Hanhua, Jinzhou Karham, Fuxin Huirui and Jinan Worldwide in the PRC was charged at 27%, of which 24% is for national tax and 3% is for local tax, of the assessable profits before 2008.  The PRC’s legislative body, the National People’s Congress, adopted the unified CIT Law on March 16, 2007.  This new tax law replaces the existing separate income tax laws for domestic enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises and became effective on January 1, 2008.  Under the new tax law, a unified income tax rates is set at 25% for both domestic enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises.  However, there will be a transition period for enterprises, whether foreign-invested or domestic, that are currently receiving preferential tax treatments granted by relevant tax authorities.  Enterprises that are subject to an enterprise income tax rate lower than 25% may continue to enjoy the lower rate and will transit into the new tax rate over a five year period beginning on the effective date of the CIT Law.  Enterprises that are currently entitled to exemptions for a fixed term will continue to enjoy such treatment until the exemption term expires.  Preferential tax treatment will continue to be granted to industries and projects that qualify for such preferential treatments under the new tax law.  As approved by the relevant tax authority in the PRC, Jinzhou Halla, Jinzhou Dongwoo, Jinzhou Wanyou, Jinzhou Hanhua, Jinzhou Karham, Fuxin Huirui and Jinan Worldwide 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 and thereafter subject to a rate of 15%. 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 subject to a tax rate of 12.5% for 2008 and 25% for 2009 and thereafter subject to a rate of 25%. 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 to 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 subject to a tax rate of 12.5% for 2008 and 2009 and thereafter subject to a rate of 25%. 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 2010, 2011 and 2012.  The tax holiday of Jinan Worldwide commenced in the fiscal year of 2006.  Accordingly, Jinan Worldwide was subject to tax rate of 12.5% for 2008, 2009 and 2010.  Wonder Motor, Jinzhou Wonder and Jinzhou Lida are subject to a tax rate of 25%.

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, rods and shafts and valves and tappets and operating results of the Company and, as such, the Company has determined that the Company has four operating segments as defined by ASC 280, “Segments Reporting” (previously SFAS 131): Alternator, starter, rods and shafts and valves and tappets.

Overview 

Wonder Auto Technology, Inc. is a Nevada holding company whose China-based operating subsidiaries are primarily engaged in business of designing, developing, manufacturing and selling automotive electric parts, suspension products and engine components. Our products include alternators, starters, engine valves and tappets, and rods and shafts for use in shock absorber systems. We have been producing alternators and starters in China since 1997.  According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, we ranked second and fourth in sales revenue in the Chinese market for automobile alternators and starters in 2009, respectively. Our subsidiary Jinan Worldwide, which we acquired in October 2008, has been producing engine valves and tappets for over 50 years. We believe we are now one of the largest manufacturers of engine valves and tappets in China in terms of sales volume as a result of the acquisition.

Our products are used in a wide range of passenger and commercial automobiles.  We are especially focused on the fast-growing small- to medium-engine passenger vehicle market. We sell our products primarily within China to well-known domestic and international automobile original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, engine manufacturers and automotive parts suppliers. We are increasingly exporting our products to international markets.

Business Segment Information
 
Our business operations can be categorized into four segments based on the type of products we manufacture and sell, specifically (i) alternators, (ii) starters, (iii) rods and shafts, and (iv) engine valves and tappets.

 We manufacture and sell both our alternators and starters using largely the same facilities, personnel and other resources in our subsidiary Jinzhou Halla. Rods and shafts are mainly manufactured by our subsidiary Jinzhou Dongwoo. Valves and tappets are manufactured by our subsidiary Jinan Worldwide.

Additional information regarding our products can be found at Note 17 in our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained under Part I, Item I “FINANCIAL STATEMENTS” above.

Second Quarter Financial Performance Highlights

We experienced solid revenue growth across all segments in the second quarter. The automobile market in China, especially the market for small engine automobiles, continued to expand in the second quarter of 2010 due, in part, to new PRC consumption tax regulations and other regulations which urge government agencies to use tax breaks and incentives and preferential oil-pricing policies to encourage consumers to buy low-emission automobiles. We were able to capitalize on these policies and the overall growth trend in our market segments during the second fiscal quarter of 2010.
 
- 35 -

 
The following are some financial highlights for the second quarter of 2010:

·
Sales revenue increased 37.9% year-over-year to approximately $68.5 million;
 
·
Gross profit rose 40.4% year-over-year to approximately $17.2 million from approximately $12.2 million;
 
·
Non-GAAP Net income attributable to Wonder Auto increased 54.0% year-over-year to approximately $8.3 million;
 
·
Non-GAAP earnings per share, or EPS, was approximately $0.24, representing a 22.7% increase from approximately $0.20 compared with second quarter 2009;
 
·
Sales revenue from PRC increased approximately $17.7 million, or 41.1% year-over-year, to approximately $60.9 million in the second quarter 2010, from approximately $43.2 million in the second quarter 2009;
 
·
Sales revenue from outside PRC increased approximately $1.1 million, or 16.5% year-over-year, to approximately $7.6 million in the second quarter 2010, from approximately $6.5 million in the second quarter 2009. 
 
Our net income for the periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $6.6 million and $5.4 million, respectively. Our earnings per share for the periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were both $0.20. Our net income and earnings per share were materially impacted by non-cash share-based employee compensation recognized pursuant to Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 718. On November 24, 2009, we granted options to purchase a total of 1,674,400 shares of our common stock to certain officers, directors and employees with an exercise price of $11.48 per share. As a result, we incurred a non-cash share-based employee compensation of $1.6 million and $3.3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. In the table below, we have presented a non-GAAP financial disclosure to provide a quantitative analysis of the impact of the non-cash employee compensation on our net income and earnings per share. We caution readers that “Non-GAAP net income attributable to the company” and “Non-GAAP EPS” are non-GAAP measures and do not purport to be alternatives to operating income, net income or earnings per share as a measure of operating performance. Management believes that these measures are useful to investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating operating profitability because non-cash shared-based employee compensation does not require the use of current assets, management does not include it in its analysis of our financial results or how we allocate our resources. It is management’s intent to provide this non-GAAP financial information to enhance understanding of our GAAP financial statements and it should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measure of “Non-GAAP net income attributable to the company” and “Non-GAAP EPS” presented herein may be determined or calculated differently by other companies.

Recent Development

We recently entered into two separate, but related, equity transfer agreements with Jin Ying Limited (“Jin Ying”) and Jinheng Automotive Safety Technology Holdings Limited (“Jinheng Holdings”).  The transactions contemplated by the agreements are interrelated and the consummation of each of transactions contemplated under the agreements is mutually dependent and conditioned upon the other transaction being consummated.
 
- 36 -


The first agreement is a Conditional Sale and Purchase Agreement dated July 10, 2010 between Jin Ying and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Wonder Auto Limited and Yearcity Limited (the “Applaud Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Applaud Agreement, Jin Yin has agreed to purchasing from two of our subsidiaries 4,015 ordinary shares (the “Applaud Shares”) of Applaud Group Limited (“Applaud”), which represents a 38.36% equity ownership interest in Applaud for cash consideration of HK$162,000,000 (approximately $20.86 million).  Applaud is a holding company whose sole asset is a 48.58% equity ownership interest in Jinheng Holdings. Jinheng Holdings is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and a high-tech automotive parts supplier that is primarily engaged in developing, manufacturing and selling components of automotive passive safety restraint systems (airbag and seatbelt), automotive engine electronic injection management systems (EMS), and components of diesel engines.  Wonder Auto Limited and Yearcity Limited acquired the Applaud Shares for a total consideration of HK$115,449,757.80 (approximately US$14.87 million) in January 2010. The consummation of the purchase and sale of the Applaud Shares is conditioned upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the second agreement, described in the following paragraph.  We expect the closing to occur during the 2010 fiscal year.

The second agreement is a Conditional Disposal Agreement dated July 10, 2010 between our subsidiary Vital Glee Development Limited (“Vital Glee”) and Jinheng Holdings (the “Vital Glee Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Vital Glee Agreement, Vital Glee has agreed to acquire a 100% equity interest in Jinheng (BVI) Ltd. (“Jinheng BVI”) from Jinheng Holdings for cash consideration of HK$1,130 million (approximately $145.21 million).   Jinheng BVI is a holding company which owns (i) a direct 100% equity ownership of Jinheng (Hong Kong) Ltd., a holding company with no active business operations (“Jinheng HK”); (ii) an indirect (through Jinheng HK) 100% equity ownership in Jinzhou Jinheng Automobile Safety System Co., Ltd., a PRC manufacturer of automobile airbags and safety belts; (iii) an indirect (through Jinheng PRC and Jinheng HK) 55.56% equity ownership of Shenyang Jinbei Jinheng Automobile Safety System Co., Ltd., a Chinese manufacturer of automotive airbags and related parts; (iv) a 100% equity ownership in Beijing Jinheng Sega Automotive Spare Parts Limited, a Chinese manufacturer of automobile steering wheels; and (v) a 90% equity ownership of Harbin Hafei Jinheng Automotive Safety System Co., Ltd., a Chinese manufacturer of airbags and other auto parts.  Jinheng BVI owns two other operating subsidiaries which we will not acquire.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among other things, approval by the our board, approval by shareholders of Jinheng Holdings and approval by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Closing of the Vital Glee Agreement is also contingent on the closing on the Applaud Agreement. 

Our CEO and Chairman Mr. Qingjie Zhao is the executive director of Jinheng Holdings and our Chief Strategy Officer and director Mr. Qingdong Zeng is a non-executive director of Jinheng Holdings. As such, the transactions contemplated by the Vital Glee Agreement have been identified and acknowledged by our Board of Directors from the outset as related party transactions. On July 9, 2010, the Audit Committee of the Board approved the Vital Glee Agreement and recommended approval of the Vital Glee Agreement to the Board. The Board approved the Vital Glee Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby on July 9, 2010, with Messrs. Zhao and Zeng abstaining. Please see our current report on Form 8-K filed on July 13, 2010 for more details.

Sales revenue from alternators and starters was $22.8 million and $21.4 million respectively, in the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $17.4 million and $15.0 million in the same quarter last year, respectively. Sales in China continue to be our major source of sales revenue. Sales revenue from sales of alternators and starters in China increased by approximately $11.8 million or 39.6% to approximately $41.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $29.9 million of the same quarter in 2009. The increase mainly resulted from the overall growth in the automobile market in China.

Sales revenue from rods and shafts was $7.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $3.0 million from the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to increased domestic sales in China of approximately $2.4 million, or 155.2% increase. Sales of engine valves and tappets were approximately $16.6 million in the second quarter of 2010, up $4.0 million from the same period last year. The increase mainly resulted from the overall growth in the automobile market in China

Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales is primarily comprised of the costs of our raw materials, labor and overhead. Our cost of sales increased by approximately $13.9 million, or 37.1%, to approximately $51.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from approximately $37.4 million during the same period in 2009.  This increase was mainly due to the increase of our sales volume. As a percentage of sales revenue, the cost of sales decreased slightly by approximately 0.5% to 74.9 % during the three months ended June 30, 2010 from 75.4 % for the same period of 2009. The slight percentage decrease in the second quarter of 2010 was mainly due to the improved gross margins on sales of our engine valves and tappets products resulting from the increased percentage of sales to the heavy duty engine sector which demands products that are usually sold at a higher per unit profit margin as compared the products used in lighter trucks.
 
Gross Profit. Our gross profit is equal to the difference between our sales revenue and our cost of sales. Our gross profit increased by approximately $4.9 million, or 40.4%, to approximately $17.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared with approximately $12.2 million for the same period in 2009 as a result of increased sales volume driving by the strong market demand for our products.  Gross margin was 25.1% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to 24.6% of the same period last year.  The slight increase was mainly due to increase sales to the heavy duty engine sector of our higher margin engine valve and tappet products as discussed above.
 
Total Operating Expenses. Our total operating expenses increased by approximately $3.8 million, or 80.0%, to approximately $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to approximately $4.7 million for the same period in 2009. As a percentage of sales revenue, our total expenses increased to 12.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared from 9.5% for the same period last year. The dollar and percentage increase was primarily attributable to the increase of non-cash share-based compensation and research and development expenses as discussed below. On November 24, 2009, we granted options to purchase a total of 1,674,400 shares of our common stock to certain officers, directors and employees with an exercise price of $11.48 per share. As a result, we incurred a total non-cash share-based employee compensation of approximately $1.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, no employee exercised any stock option.

Our administrative expenses increased by approximately $2.2 million, or 79.5%, to approximately $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from approximately $2.8 million for the same period last year. This increase was mainly due to a non-cash share-based compensation of approximately $1.5 million, with the remainder being mostly due to the consolidation of the operating results of Friend Birch Limited and its subsidiaries and the increased professional expenses related to our acquisition of 25% equity interest in Jinzhou Wonder Auto Parts Co., Ltd., a Chinese corporation primarily engaged in the manufacturing and sales of iron core for alternators (“Wonder Auto Parts”). As a percentage of sales revenue, administrative expenses increased to 7.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from 5.5% for same period last year.

As a percentage of sales revenue, administrative expenses (excluding non-cash share-based compensation) decreased to 5.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from 5.5% for same period last year.

The respective sales revenue from alternators and starters was $42.2 million and $41.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $31.8 million and $28.3 million in the same period last year. Sales in China continue to be our major source of sales revenue. Sales revenue from sales of alternators and starters in China increased by approximately $22.3 million or 39.1% to approximately $79.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $57.0 million of the same period in 2009. The increases were mainly attributable to the higher sales volume driven by the increased market demand for our products.

Sales revenue from rods and shafts was $15.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $5.4 million from the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to an increased domestic sales in China of approximately $3.0 million, or 66.4% increase. Sales of engine valves and tappets were approximately $33.3 million in the first half of 2010, up $13.4 million from the same period last year. This increase was mainly attributable to the overall growth in the automobile market in China.

Cost of Sale. Our cost of sales increased by approximately $32.0 million, or 47.5%, to approximately $99.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from approximately $67.3 million during the same period in 2009.  This increase was mainly due to the increase of our sales volume.  As a percentage of sales revenue, the cost of sales remained stable at 75.2% during the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to 75.1% for the same period of 2009.

 Gross Profit. Our gross profit increased by approximately $10.5 million, or 46.9%, to approximately $32.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with approximately $22.3 million for the same period in 2009.  Gross margin was 24.8% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to 24.9% of the same period last year.  Gross margin for our engine valves and tappets increased during the first half of 2010 due to the fact that during this period, we sold more engine valves and tappets used in heavy trucks which generally have higher margins than those used in lighter trucks. The increase in gross margin for our engine valves and tappets was offset by a decrease in gross margin of our alternator and starter products in the first half of 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, more of our sales revenue was derived from sales of alternators and starters used in mid-to-small displacement, which generally have a lower per unit profit margin than our alternators and starters made for engines with larger displacement.
 
Total Operating Expenses. Our total operating expenses increased by approximately $8.6 million, or 99.1%, to approximately $17.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to approximately $8.7 million for the same period in 2009. As a percentage of sales revenue, our total expenses increased to 13.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared from 9.7% for the same period last year. The dollar and percentage increase was primarily attributable to the increase in non-cash share-based compensation and research and development expenses as discussed below. We incurred a total non-cash share-based employee compensation of $3.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 in connection with the stock option granted to our officers, directors and employees on November 24, 2009.
 
Administrative Expense.  Our administrative expenses increased by approximately $5.0 million, or 97.7%, to approximately $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from approximately $5.1 million for the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to a $3.0 million non-cash share-based compensation incurred in the first half of 2010, consolidation of the operating results of Friend Birch Limited and its subsidiary and the increased professional expenses related to our investments in Applaud Group Limited and Wonder Auto Parts. As a percentage of sales revenue, administrative expenses increased to 7.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from 5.7% for same period last year. The increase was mainly due to the increased non-cash share-based compensation expense.

Excluding the $3.0 million non-cash share-based compensation, our administrative expenses increased by approximately $2.0 million, or 39.4%, to approximately $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from approximately $5.1 million for the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to the consolidation of the operating results of Friend Birch Limited and its subsidiary and the increased professional expenses related to our investments in Applaud Group Limited and Wonder Auto Parts. As a percentage of sales revenue, administrative expenses (excluding non-cash share-based compensation) decreased to 5.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from 5.7% for same period last year. The decrease was mainly due to an increase of our sales revenue which outpaced the increase of our administrative expenses.

Research and Development Expense.  Our research and development expenses increased by $2.0 million, or 213.6%, to approximately $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $920,907 for the same period last year. As a percentage of sales revenue, research and development expenses increased to 2.2% for six months ended June 30, 2010, from 1.0% for the same period last year. The dollar and percentage increases were mainly due to a $183,564 non-cash share-base compensation expense incurred in the first half of 2010 and increased expenses associated with development of alternative energy vehicle components.

Excluding the non-cash share-based compensation of $183,564, our research and development expenses increased by $1.8 million, or 193.7%, to approximately $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $920,907 for the same period last year. As a percentage of sales revenue, research and development expenses increased to 2.0% for six months ended June 30, 2010, from 1.0% for the same period last year.

As a percentage of sales revenue, selling expenses increased to 3.4% for six months ended June 30, 2010, from 3.0% for the same period last year. The dollar and percentage increase was mainly due to a $130,838 non-cash share-based compensation incurred in the first half of 2010, increased provision for product warranties and freight costs resulting from the increased sales volume, as well as the increased salary and costs associated with advertising and promotional activities.

Excluding the non-cash share-based compensation of $130,838, our selling expenses increased by approximately $1.6 million, or 58.3%, to approximately $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from approximately $2.7 million for the same period last year. As a percentage of sales revenue, selling expenses increased to 3.3% for six months ended June 30, 2010, from 3.0% for the same period last year. The percentage increase resulted from compensation paid to increased sales personnel and costs associated with advertising and promotional activities.

Net finance cost. Our net finance cost decreased by $318,568, or 15.7% to $1.7 million for the six months ended on June 30, 2010 from $2.0 million for the same period last year. The increase of net finance cost was mainly due to a net exchange gain of $862,381 in first half year of 2010, as compared to a net exchange gain of $230,516 for the same period last year.

Income before Income Taxes and Non-controlling Interests. Income before income taxes and non-controlling interests increased by approximately $2.9 million or 23.0%, to approximately $15.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 from approximately $12.6 million during the same period in 2009.  Income before income taxes as a percentage of sales revenue decreased to 11.7% during the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to 14.1% for the same period last year mainly due to the increases in the non-cash share-based compensation expense and research and development expenses.
 
Income taxes. Our income taxes increased by $1.0 million, or 67.1%, to approximately $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $1.6 million for the same period last year. Our effective income tax rate was approximately 16.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to 12.3% for the same period last year.

Net Income attributable to Non-controlling Interests. Our financial statements reflect an adjustment to our consolidated group net income, and our net income attributable to non-controlling interests decreased $28,460, or 5.8% to $465,073 for the first half of 2010 from $493,533 for the same period last year, reflecting the net income attributable to non-controlling interests held by third parties in Jinzhou Dong Woo, Jinzhou Hanhua Electrical System Co., Ltd. and Jinzhou Karham Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd.

Net Income attributable to Wonder Auto Technology, Inc. common stockholders. Our net income attributable to Wonder Auto Technology, Inc. common stockholders increased by approximately $1.9 million, or 17.8%, to approximately $12.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 from approximately $10.5 million during the same period last year, as a result of the factors described above.

Operating Activities:

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $6.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to approximately $14.4 million of net cash provided by operating activities for the same period in 2009. The most significant reason for the change in net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period last year was the net increase of approximately $18.3 million in bills receivables for the first half year of 2010.

Investing Activities:

Our main uses of cash for investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2010 were for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment, the investments in Applaud and Wonder Auto Parts, and deposit for the acquisition of Vital Glee Development Limited.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $21.9 million as compared to approximately $9.2 million in the same period in 2009. The increase in the net cash used in investing activities was mainly due to our investment of approximately $14.9 million in Applaud.

Financing Activities:

Our financing activities include new bank loans, repayment of bank loans, settlement of bills payable, and pledges of restricted cash for issuing bills payable.
 
- 45 -


Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $18.3 million of net cash provided by financing activities for same period in 2009. As a result of the proceeds from our public offering closed in November 2009, we have adequate capital and reduced our capital raising activities in the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Our debt-to-equity ratio was 39.3% as of June 30, 2010. We plan to maintain our debt-to-equity ratio below 60%, increase the long-term loans, and decrease the short-term loans. We believe we currently maintain a good business relationship with many banks.

As of June 30, 2010, the amount, maturity date and term of each of our bank loans are as follows.

Repayment of principal in annual installment.
 
We repaid bank loans in the total amount of approximately $33.8 million in the second quarter of 2010. We plan to replace these loans with new bank loans in approximately the same aggregate amounts.

Our subsidiary Vital Glee has entered into the Vital Glee Agreement with Jinheng Holdings for the acquisition of Jinheng BVI and its subsidiaries.  We currently expect to finance a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition with loans from commercial banks or other lenders. If the acquisition is consummated at the currently contemplated price, the purchase price for Jinheng BVI will be HK$1,130 million, payable in four installments. We expect to fund the acquisition of Jinheng BVI with:(i) the HK$162 million we expect to receive from the sale of Applaud Shares to Jin Ying if the Applaud Agreement is completed in accordance with its terms; (ii) approximately HK$540 million of proceeds from our public offering of common stock closed in November 2009; and (iii) bank loans from commercial lenders on market terms at prevailing interest rates.

In connection with the acquisition of Vital Glee from Achieve Gain Group Limited as discussed in more details under Item 5, Part II below, we have approximately $6.3 million payment obligation due on or before June 30, 2011. We currently expect to fund such payment obligations with our own capital.

We believe that we maintain good relationships with the banks we deal with and our current available working capital, after receiving the aggregate proceeds of the capital raising activities and expected bank loans, should be adequate to sustain our operations at our current levels through at least the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Policies 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Our estimates form the basis for our judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, could materially impact the condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe that our critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We have made no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2009.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements  
 
We do not have any off-balance arrangements.

Seasonality 

Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have not been subject to seasonal variations. This pattern may change, however, as a result of new market opportunities or new product introduction. 
 
ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily with respect to our short-term bank loans and long-term bank loans. Although the interest rates, which are based on the banks’ prime rates with respect to our short-term loans are fixed for the terms of the loans, the terms are typically three to twelve months for short-term bank loans and interest rates are subject to change upon renewal.  There were no material changes in interest rates for short-term bank loans renewed during the three months ended June 30, 2010.

A hypothetical 1.0% increase in the annual interest rates for all of our credit facilities under which we had outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2010, would decrease net income before provision for income taxes by approximately $0.8 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.  Management monitors the banks’ prime rates in conjunction with our cash requirements to determine the appropriate level of debt balances relative to other sources of funds.  We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to interest rate risk.

Foreign Exchange Risk
 
While our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar, all of our consolidated revenues and consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in Renminbi.  All of our assets are denominated in RMB except for cash.  As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. Dollars and RMB.  If the RMB depreciates against the U.S. Dollar, the value of our RMB revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. Dollar financial statements will decline.  Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and shareholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates.  Any resulting translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but are included in determining other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity.  

The value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. Since July 2005, the Renminbi has not been pegged to the U.S. dollar. Although the People’s Bank of China regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to prevent significant short-term fluctuations in the exchange rate, the Renminbi may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the medium to long term.  Moreover, it is possible that in the future, PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the Renminbi exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.
 
Inflation

Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our product and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results.  Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.

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, 2010. Based upon their evaluation, these executive officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2010.  

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, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. 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. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
 
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2010.

ITEM 4. (REMOVED AND RESERVED)
 
ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

On June 24, 2010, our wholly owned subsidiary Friend Birch Limited entered into an equity transfer agreement (“Achieve Gain Agreement”) with Achieve Gain Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation, under which Friend Birch Limited agreed to purchase 100% interest in Vital Glee Development Limited. Vital Glee is an investment holding company and through its subsidiary engaging in automotive shock absorber manufacturing business.
 
Under the Achieve Gain Agreement, Friend Birch Limited will pay in exchange for Achieve Gain’s 100% equity interest in Vital Glee total cash consideration of $15 million subject to certain price adjustments (the “Purchase Price”) which are based on Vital Glee’s financial performance. The total Purchase Price is scheduled to be paid by Friend Birch Limited in three installments as follows. The first installment payment of $8.7 million was paid in June 2010. The second installment payment of $3.15 million will be paid on or before December 31, 2010. The final installment payment of $3.15 million will be made on or before June 30, 2011. Achieve Gain covenants that Vital Glee will achieve a net profit of $1.6 million between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011. The Purchase Price will be reduced proportionally if Vital Glee fails to meet such net profit threshold. The transaction contemplated by the Achieve Gain Agreement was closed on July 1, 2010.

The description of the Achieve Gain Agreement above is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Achieve Gain Agreement, an English summary of which is attached hereto as exhibit 10.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference.
