CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 8-K and other reports filed by us from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, our management as well as estimates and assumptions made by our management. When used in the filings the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “future”, “intend”, “plan” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to us or our management identify forward looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of our management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors (including the risks contained in the section of this report entitled “Risk Factors”) as they relate to our industry, our operations and results of operations, and any businesses that we may acquire. Should one or more of the events described in these risk factors materialize, or should our underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the U.S. federal securities laws, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform them to actual results. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our pro forma financial statements and the related notes that will be filed herein.

Currency, exchange rate, and “China” and other references

Unless otherwise noted, all currency figures in this filing are in U.S. dollars. References to "yuan" or "RMB" are to the Chinese yuan, which is also known as the renminbi. According to the currency exchange website www.xe.com, on June 11, 2008, $1.00 was equivalent to 6.91790 yuan.

References to “PRC” are to the People’s Republic of China.

References to “Shengkai” are to Tianjin Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Co. Ltd., a PRC company that we control.

Unless otherwise specified or required by context, references to “we,” “the Company”, “our” and “us” refer collectively to (i) Southern Sauce Company, Inc. (“Southern Sauce”), (ii) the subsidiaries of Southern Sauce, Shen Kun International Limited, a British Virgin Islands limited liability company (“Shen Kun) and Sheng Kai (Tianjin) Ceramic Valves Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned enterprise under the laws of the PRC (“SK Ceramic Valves”), and (iii) Shengkai.

References to the “Bulletin Board,” the “OTC Bulletin Board” are to the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, a securities quotation service, which is accessible at the website www.otcbb.com.

References to Shengkai’s “registered capital” are to the equity of Shengkai, which under PRC law is measured not in terms of shares owned but in terms of the amount of capital that has been contributed to a company by a particular shareholder or all shareholders. The portion of a limited liability company’s total capital contributed by a particular shareholder represents that shareholder’s ownership of the company, and the total amount of capital contributed by all shareholders is the company’s total equity. Capital contributions are made to a company by deposits into a dedicated account in the company’s name, which the company may access in order to meet its financial needs. When a company’s accountant certifies to PRC authorities that a capital contribution has been made and the company has received the necessary government permission to increase its contributed capital, the capital contribution is registered with regulatory authorities and becomes a part of the company’s “registered capital.”

Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
  
Background

As more fully described below, on June 9, 2008, we consummated a number of related transactions through which we acquired control of Shengkai, a PRC-based company. Shengkai is engaged in the design, manufacturing and sales of ceramic valves, the manufacturing and sales of high-tech ceramic materials, technical consultation and services, and the export of ceramic valves and related technologies. These industrial valve products are used by companies in the electric power, petrochemical, metallurgy, and environmental protection industries as high-performance, more durable alternatives to traditional metal valves. Shengkai sells its products in China, North America and the Asia-Pacific region.

The Reverse Merger Transaction

As more fully described in Item 2.01 below, on June 9, 2008 (“Closing Date”), Southern Sauce executed and consummated a Merger Agreement (the “Closing”) by and among Shen Kun International Limited, a British Virgin Islands limited liability company (“Shen Kun”) and the stockholders of 100% of Shen Kun’s common stock (the “Shen Kun Shareholders”), on the one hand, and Southern Sauce, its wholly-owned subsidiary Acquisition Sub, and the holders of a majority of Southern Sauce’s issued and outstanding common stock (“Majority Shareholders”), on the other hand (the “Merger Agreement”).

In the Reverse Merger Transaction, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Acquisition Sub, we acquired control of Shen Kun, a British Virgin Islands company and the parent company of Shengkai (Tianjin) Ceramic Valves Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) (“SK Ceramic Valves”), by issuing to the Shen Kun Shareholders shares our of Common Stock as consideration for all of the outstanding capital stock of Shen Kun. The Shen Kun Shareholders with whom we consummated the merger included (i) the majority holder, Long Sunny Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, a majority of the stock of which may be acquired in the future by our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Wang Chen, pursuant to a call option held by Mr. Wang, (ii) five individual minority stockholders: Mr. Miao Yang, Ms. Zhang Ying, Ms. Chen Fang, Mr. Wu Yanping, Mr. Liu Naifan, and (iii) two entity minority stockholders, Groom Profit Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (solely owned by Ms. Zhao Yanqiu), and Right Idea Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (solely owned by Ms. Ji Haihong).

At the closing, Southern Sauce issued 20,550,000 shares of common stock to the Shen Kun Shareholders as merger consideration for 100% of the common stock of Shen Kun. Immediately after the Closing, we had a total of 22,112,500 shares of common stock outstanding, with the Shen Kun Shareholders (and their assignees) owning approximately 92.9% of our outstanding common stock, and the balance held by those who held our common stock prior to the Closing.

Our board of directors (the “Board”) as well as the directors and the shareholders of Shen Kun, each approved the Merger Agreement and the Financing, including the transactions contemplated thereunder. Following the Closing Date, Acquisition Sub dissolved and Shen Kun became the surviving entity and our wholly-owned subsidiary.

Shen Kun owns 100% SK Ceramic Valves, which is a WFOE under the laws of the PRC. SK Ceramic Valves has entered into a series of contractual arrangements with Shengkai, a limited liability company headquartered in, and organized under the laws of, the PRC. The contractual arrangements are discussed below in Item 2.01 under the section titled “Description of Business.” Throughout this Form 8-K, Shen Kun, SK Ceramic Valves and Shengkai are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Shengkai Group.”

As a result of the Reverse Merger Transaction, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Shen Kun and consequently, control of the business and operations of the Shengkai Group. Prior to the Reverse Merger Transaction, we were a public reporting blind pool company in the development stage. From and after the Closing Date of the Merger Agreement, our primary operations consist of the business and operations of the Shengkai Group, which are conducted by Shengkai in China.

In conjunction with the Reverse Merger Transaction, on June 10, 2008 we entered into and on June 11, 2008 consummated a registration rights agreement (the “Shareholder RRA”) with certain shareholders who were shareholders of the Southern Sauce prior to the Reverse Merger Transaction. Under the terms of the Shareholder RRA, we granted registration rights to certain shareholders existing prior to the Reverse Merger Transaction, by which the shareholders were granted registration rights for the registration of an aggregate of 1,304,750 shares of Common Stock. The shareholders will be entitled to cash liquidated damages in the amount equal to .75% of the value of each shareholder’s registrable securities (using a value of $2.54 per share to calculate the value of such shareholder’s registrable securities) on the date that it fails to register the securities under the terms of the agreement, and for each calendar month or portion thereof until the failure is cured.

In connection with the Closing, on June 11, 2008 we sold to investors Units (the “Units”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $15,000,000, at a price of $2.5357 per Unit (the “Financing”). Each Unit consists of one share of Southern Sauce Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), convertible into one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one Series A Warrant to purchase Common Stock equal to 120% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (“Warrant”). The description of other material terms and conditions of the Financing are set forth in Item 3.02 below.

Item 2.01  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As described in detail in Item 1,01 above, on June 9, 2008, we acquired the stock of Shen Kun pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
 
As a result of the reverse acquisition, our principal business became the business of Shengkai, which is the design, manufacturing and sales of ceramic valves, the manufacturing and sales of high-tech ceramic materials, technical consultation and services, and the export of ceramic valves and related technologies. Our industrial valve products are used by companies in the electric power, petrochemical, metallurgy, and environmental protection industries as a high-performance, more durable alternative to traditional metal valves.
 
DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS

Our Corporate Structure

We were incorporated in Florida under the name Southern Sauce Company, Inc. on December 8, 2004.  Our initial business plan was to establish a successful specialty food business based on proprietary recipes for barbecue sauces and other condiments for the retail market.

By a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement dated February 14, 2008, we experienced a change in control whereby Vision and a number of other investors, acquired an aggregate of 2,575,000 shares of Common Stock from former shareholders for a purchase price of $635,000. Upon this change in control, our Board determined that the implementation of our business plan prior to the change in control was no longer financially feasible, and we adopted an acquisition strategy focused on pursuing growth by acquiring undervalued businesses with a history of operating revenues. We utilized several criteria to evaluate prospective acquisitions including whether the business to be acquired (1) was an established business with viable services or products, (2) had an experienced and qualified management team, (3) had room for growth and/or expansion into other markets, (4) was accretive to earnings, (5) offered the opportunity to achieve and/or enhance profitability, and (6) increases shareholder value.

Our Board approved the Merger Agreement on May 30, 2008, and we entered into the Merger Agreement with Shen Kun and the Shen Kun Shareholders on June 9, 2008.
 
Shen Kun was incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on November 7, 2007, and Shen Kun formed SK Ceramic Valves as a wholly foreign owned enterprise under the laws of the PRC on April 9, 2008.
 
Shengkai was organized under the laws of the PRC in June 1994 under the name Tianjin Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Company. Shengkai’s business was formerly operated as a collective-owned enterprise. The business was reorganized under the laws of the PRC as a limited liability company under its current name, Tianjin Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Co., Ltd. in April 1999.

Under the laws of the PRC, certain restrictions are placed on round trip investments, which are defined under PRC law as an acquisition of a PRC entity by an offshore special purpose vehicle owned by one or more PRC residents. As a result, SK Ceramic Valves entered into a series of agreements with Shengkai which we believe give us effective control over the business of Shengkai. These agreements are described below in the section entitled “Contractual Agreements with Shengkai.”
 
Our executive offices are located at No. 27, Wang Gang Road, Jin Nan (Shuang Gang) Economic and Technology Development Area, Tianjin, People’s Republic of China 300350, and our telephone number is (86) 22-2859-8899. Our website is www.shengkai.com. Information on our website or any other website is not a part of this report.

Contractual Agreements with Shengkai

Prior to the reverse acquisition, our business was conducted through Shengkai, its largest shareholders being Wang Chen (71.39% interest), the founder of Shengkai, and Guo Wei (13.33% interest). Shengkai has the licenses and approvals necessary to operate its business in the PRC.

PRC law places certain restrictions on roundtrip investments through the acquisition of a PRC entity by PRC residents. To comply with these restrictions, in conjunction with the reverse acquisition, we (via our wholly-owned subsidiary, SK Ceramic Valves) entered into and consummated certain contractual arrangements with Shengkai and their respective stockholders pursuant to which we provide these companies with technology consulting and management services. Through these contractual arrangements, we have the ability to substantially influence these companies’ daily operations and financial affairs, appoint their senior executives and approve all matters requiring stockholder approval. As a result of these contractual arrangements, which enable us to control Shengkai and operate our business in the PRC through Shengkai, we are considered the primary beneficiary of Shengkai. Accordingly, we consolidate the results, assets and liabilities of the Shengkai in our financial statements.

On May 30, 2008, we entered into the following contractual arrangements, each of which are enforceable and valid in accordance with the laws of the PRC:

Consigned Management Agreement 

The Consigned Management Agreement, among SK Ceramic Valves, Shengkai, and all of the shareholders of Shengkai, provides that SK Ceramic Valves will provide financial, business, technical and human resources management services to Shengkai that will enable SK Ceramic Valves to control Shengkai’s operations, assets and cash flow, and in exchange, Shengkai will pay a management fee to SK Ceramic Valves equal to 2% of Shengkai’s annual revenue. The management fee for each year is due by January 31 of the following year. The term of the agreement is until SK Ceramic Valves acquires all of the equity or assets of Shengkai.

Technology Service Agreement

The Technology Service Agreement, among SK Ceramic Valves, Shengkai, and all of the shareholders of Shengkai, provides that SK Ceramic Valves will provide technology services, including the selection and maintenance of Shengkai’s computer hardware and software systems and training of Shengkai employees in the use of those systems. SK Ceramic Valves will also provide research and development into new formulations of ceramics and methods that will increase the toughness and machinability of ceramics, raise manufacturing ceramic materials burn rate and lower sintering temperature, and lower production costs. The agreement also provides that SK Ceramic Valves will train Shengkai’s staff to increase productive use of the new equipments and increase Shengkai’s overall production capacity.

As consideration for such services, Shengkai will pay a technology service fee to SK Ceramic Valves equal to 1% of Shengkai’s annual revenue. The technology service fee for each year is due by January 31 of the following year. The term of the agreement is until SK Ceramic Valves acquires all of the equity or assets of Shengkai.

Loan Agreement   

The Loan Agreement, among SK Ceramic Valves and all of the shareholders of Shengkai, provides that SK Ceramic Valves will make a loan in the aggregate principal amount of RMB49,000,000 ($7,083,074.34) to the shareholders of Shengkai, each shareholder receiving a share of the loan proceeds proportional to its shareholding in Shengkai, and in exchange each shareholder agreed (i) to contribute all of its proceeds from the loan to the registered capital of Shengkai in order to increase the registered capital of Shengkai, (ii) to cause Shengkai to complete the process of registering the increase in its registered capital with PRC regulatory authorities within 30 days after receiving the loan, and (iii) to pledge their equity to SK Ceramic Valves under the Equity Pledge Agreement described below.

The loan is repayable at the option of SK Ceramic Valves either in cash or by transfer of Shengkai equity or all of its assets to SK Ceramic Valves. The loan does not bear interest, except that if (x) SK Ceramic Valves is able to purchase the equity or assets of Shengkai, and (y) the lowest allowable purchase price for that equity or those assets under PRC law is greater than the principal amount of the loan, then, insofar as it is allowable under PRC law, interest will be deemed to have accrued on the loan in an amount equal to the difference between the lowest allowable purchase price for Shengkai and the principal amount of the loan. The effect of this interest provision is that, if and when permitted under PRC law, SK Ceramic Valves may acquire all of the equity or assets of Shengkai by forgiving the loan, without making any further payment.

If the principal amount of the loan is greater than the lowest allowable purchase price for the equity or assets of Shengkai under PRC law, then even though one might expect that SK Ceramic Valves would be entitled to receive the difference between those two amounts in repayment of the loan, Shengkai is not obligated to make such a payment. The effect of this provision is that (insofar as allowable under PRC law) Shengkai may satisfy its repayment obligations under the loan by transferring all of its equity or assets to SK Ceramic Valves, without making any further payment.

The Loan Agreement also contains agreements from the shareholders of Shengkai that during the term of the agreement, they will elect as directors of Shengkai only candidates nominated by SK Ceramic Valves, and they will use their best efforts to ensure that Shengkai does not take certain actions without the prior written consent of SK Ceramic Valves, including (i) supplementing or amending its articles of association or bylaws, (ii) changing its registered capital or shareholding structure, (iii) transferring, mortgaging or disposing of any interests in its assets or income, or encumbering its assets or income in a way that would affect SK Ceramic Valves’ security interest, (iv) incurring or guaranteeing any debts not incurred in its normal business operations, (v) entering into any material contract (exceeding RMB 3,000,000, or approximately $433,658, in value), unless it is necessary for the company’s normal business operations; (vi) providing any loan or guarantee to any third party; (vii) acquiring or consolidating with any third party, or investing in any third party; and (viii) distributing any dividends to the shareholders in any manner. In addition, the Loan Agreement provides that at SK Ceramic Valves’ request, Shengkai will promptly distribute all distributable dividends to the shareholders of Shengkai.

The funds that SK Ceramic Valves used to make the loan came from the proceeds received by us, its indirect parent company, in the Financing described in Items 1.01 and 3.02 of this report.

Exclusive Purchase Option Agreement  

The Exclusive Purchase Option Agreement, among SK Ceramic Valves, Shengkai, and all of the shareholders of Shengkai, provides that Shengkai will grant SK Ceramic Valves an irrevocable and exclusive right to purchase all or part of Shengkai’s assets, and the shareholders of Shengkai will grant SK Ceramic Valves an irrevocable and exclusive right to purchase all or part of their equity interests in Shengkai. Either right may be exercised by SK Ceramic Valves in its sole discretion at any time that the exercise would be permissible under PRC law, and the purchase price for SK Ceramic Valves’ acquisition of equity or assets will be the lowest price permissible under PRC law. Shengkai and its shareholders are required to execute purchase agreements and related documentation within 30 days of receiving notice from SK Ceramic Valves that it intends to exercise its right to purchase.

The Exclusive Purchase Option Agreement contains agreements from Shengkai and its shareholders that they will refrain from taking actions, such as voting to dissolve or declaring dividends, that could impair SK Ceramic Valves’ security interest in the equity of Shengkai or reduce its value. These agreements are substantially the same as those contained in the Loan Agreement described above.

The agreement will remain effective until SK Ceramic Valves or its designees have acquired 100% of the equity interests of Shengkai or substantially all of the assets of Shengkai. The exclusive purchase options were granted under the agreement on the Closing Date.

Equity Pledge Agreement

The Equity Pledge Agreement, among SK Ceramic Valves, Shengkai, and all of the shareholders of Shengkai, provides that the shareholders of Shengkai will pledge all of their equity interests in Shengkai to SK Ceramic Valves as a guarantee of the performance of the shareholders’ obligations and Shengkai’s obligations under each of the other PRC restructuring agreements. Under the Equity Pledge Agreement, the shareholders of Shengkai have also agreed (i) to cause Shengkai to have the pledge recorded at the appropriate office of the PRC Bureau of Industry and Commerce, (ii) to deliver any dividends received from Shengkai during the term of the agreement into an escrow account under the supervision of SK Ceramic Valves, and (iii) to deliver Shengkai’s official shareholder registry and certificate of equity contribution to SK Ceramic Valves.

The Equity Pledge Agreement contains promises from Shengkai and its shareholders that they will refrain from taking actions, such as voting to dissolve or declaring dividends, that could impair SK Ceramic Valves’ security interest in the equity of Shengkai or reduce its value. These promises are substantially the same as those contained in the Loan Agreement described above.

Completion of the PRC Restructuring

The PRC restructuring transaction closed on the Closing Date. However, SK Ceramic Valves is required under the agreements to complete additional post-closing steps required in order to maintain its good standing under PRC law. These steps include SK Ceramic Valves making required regulatory filings and giving proof to regulatory authorities that it has received the required portion of its registered capital as of the deadline required under PRC law. Specifically, SK Ceramic Valves must receive 15% of its total registered capital of $15 million by July 9, 2008, and the remaining $12.75 million by April 9, 2010, in order to maintain the validity of its business license and its certificate of approval to exist as a wholly foreign-owned entity in the PRC issued by the Tianjin Municipal Government and the Tianjin Administration for Industry and Commerce, respectively. This license and approval would become invalid and be immediately cancelled if SK Ceramic Valves were to fail to make timely payment of the first installment of its registered capital, in which case we could cease to have any claim to control Shengkai under PRC law. We anticipate that all required post-closing steps, including the payment and verification of the first installment of SK Ceramic Valves’s registered capital, will be completed within approximately 30 days after the date of this report.  

Upon consummation of the PRC Restructuring Agreements above, the contributions of Shengkai’s registered capital, and therefore the ownership of Shengkai, took their current form, which is represented in the table below:

Subsidiaries

As a result of the Reverse Merger Transaction, Shen Kun and SK Ceramic Values are our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Shengkai, the entity through which we operate our business, currently has no subsidiaries, either wholly-owned or partially-owned.

Business of Shengkai

Overview

We believe that Shengkai is the one of the few ceramic valve manufacturers in the world with research and development, engineering, and production capacity for structural ceramics and is the only valve manufacturer who is able to produce large-sized ceramic valves with calibers of 150mm or more. Its product categories include a broad range of valves in all industries that are sold throughout China, to North America and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Totaling over 300 customers, the company became a supplier of China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (“CPCC”) in 2005 and a member of the PetroChina Co. Ltd. (“PetroChina”) supply network in 2006. Shengkai is currently the only domestic ceramic valve manufacturer entering into the CPCC and PetroChina supply system, after a six-year application process.

Shengkai develops ceramic products with more than 700 types and specifications in 32 series, under nine categories. Of these, national patents have been obtained for 12 products, and applications for nine more are pending. Shengkai’s product won the title of “National Key New Product” four times from 1999-2003 and won a silver medal in the Shanghai International Industry Fair in 2002. In 2003, Shengkai obtained API authentication allowing export to North America and the Asia-Pacific region and CE authentication allowing export to EU in 2003.
  
Presently, the technology of other domestic and overseas industrial ceramic valves manfacturers limit production to small-bore ball valves with pressure levels below 2.5MPa. In contrast, Shengkai produces a variety of ceramics in every category (gate valve, ball valve, back valve, adjustable valve, cut-off valve and special valve) and produce more than 700 specifications that sustain a maximum pressure level of 42MPa. The largest ceramic valve caliber produced by Shengkai is 1,000mm; currently, we believe that other manufacturers in the world only produce ceramic ball valves and ceramic adjustable valves with 150mm caliber or less.
  
Business History

Shengkai was established in June 1994 with registered capital of RMB310,000 and an initial business scope covering the production and sales of spray mixtures and ceramic valves. The stock ownership was jointly held by 8 shareholders including Wang Chen, the largest shareholder of the company.

In October 1995, Shengkai increased its registered capital to RMB1 million through capital and equity increase; Wang Chen contributed RMB810,000 and the remaining shares are held by the other seven shareholders. In November 2000, the registered capital increased to RMB15 million and the company’s business scope was changed to the design, manufacturing and sales of ceramic valves, manufacturing and sales of high-tech ceramic material, technical consultation and service, and export of such products and related technologies.

Overview of the Ceramic Valve Industry in China

At present, the world valve industry is in a stage of stable development. According to statistical data in “Industrial Valves: World Markets” report published by the McIlvaine Company (the McIlvaine Report”), the growth rate of the world sales volume of valves has remained at a level of approximately 5% since 2000. As of 2006, there are more than 50,000 valve manufacturers with valve sales volume reaching $43 billion.

Since reforming and opening its markets, China’s valve industry has developed rapidly, especially during the country’s “Tenth Five-Year Plan”. At the end of 2006, the number of Chinese valve manufacturers was up to over 4,000, representing 8% of the world’s total suppliers; 1,438 of them have sales of over RMB5 million, nearly 200 of them have output value of RMB50 million. According to the statistical data by the China National Bureau of Statistics, total output in China’s valve industry reached 2.06 million tons in 2006, which increased 17.34% compared with the previous year; gross industrial output value reached RMB62 billion, which increased 20% compared with the previous year. The Bureau of Statistics further estimated that China’s valve industry experienced a growth rate of over 20% in 2007.

Market dispersion is more pronounced in the valve industry than many other industries and subject to intense competition: the top 15 of the world manufacturers have a sales volume less than $7 billion in 2006 with a world market share of approximately 20%, according to the McIlvaine Report; according to statistical data in Valve Communication published by the China Valve Industrial Association, the top 10 Chinese valve industry manufacturers only had a sales volume of RMB4.63 billion with a Chinese market share of less than 7%.

Operations of Shengkai

Shengkai designs, manufactures and distributes ceramic valves in 32 series under 9 categories, covering almost all the general types of valves for industrial use in the world. Shengkai’s valve sizes range from 32mm to 1000mm and can withstand pressure up to 42MPa. The company is able to provide a series of services, including manufacture, installation and maintenance of general industrial ceramic valves, as well as the design and manufacture of various non-standard ceramic valves as required by customers’ special operating conditions.

Production is comprised of three processes, ceramic piece production, machine-work of ceramic and metal components, and assembly. Currently, the total area of the production plant is 4,940 m2, with 51 sets of machine tools, of which 17 sets are for ceramics, and two sets of digitally controlled machine tools. Ceramic valve output in 2007 was 6,969 sets.

Ceramics are friable and non-plastic and, given that to-date we believe that there is no special equipment available for ceramic processing in the world, as such can not only be difficult to process but also have a limited field of application. Aiming at the following features, Shengkai has overcome these disadvantages in the following ways:
 
 
·
adding zirconia to alumina ceramics for increase toughness and resistance to corrosion;
 
·
successfully using Martensite transformation toughening technology to increase toughness and reduce deformability; and
 
·
applying nano-sized powder technology to improve toughness and other features.
 
·
altering existing metal processors so as to enable Shengkai to apply cold-working techniques to its ceramic products.

Shengkai has developed a solid solution and agent that lowers firing temperature and enhances the homogeneous dispersion of ceramic pulp, applying the theories of solid solution, chemical dispersion and the rational sintering temperature curve. This technology effectively controls the contraction ratio during the ceramic sintering process to greatly improve the rate of finished products. Currently, the rate of sintered finished goods of various calibers of Shengkai’s valve products has reached over 90%, and firing temperatures for Shengkai’s products are 80°C-120°C lower than the world standard in the industry.

Shengkai has also developed various joint technologies under various temperatures, so as to solve problems that arise from the combination of ceramics and metal with different coefficients of thermal expansion and ensure that the valves produced are leak-proof. Shengkai mainly selects ceramic material of partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ), tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (TZP), zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) and zirconia toughened mullite (ZTM).
 
We believe that Shengkai's ability to produce a comprehensive category of high-quality ceramic products, together with its self-developed ceramic processor, leak-proof valve sealing technology and strong technology development capacity, set it apart from its domestic and international competitors.

Products of Shengkai

Shengkai mainly produces industrial ceramic valves with calibers up to 1,000mm in various types and in different combinations of ceramic and metal coefficients, depending on their use. Ceramic valves perform significantly better than metal valves due to higher wear resistance, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and thermal shock resistance. We estimate that the average service life of our ceramic valves are at least 20 times of that of comparably-sized metal valves currently in the market.

Raw Materials and Equipment

Raw materials required for valve production includes metal materials and ceramic materials like aluminum oxide and zinc oxide; a large number of spare parts in various specifications are also purchased during production. Our supply contracts typically bear renewable one year terms. The company implements the IO9001 quality system and as such is very strict with selection of equipment and material suppliers. Purchased machinery or kiln equipment in addition to raw materials are subsequently strictly inspected and examined by the quality control department, so as to prevent unqualified products from being put into the production flow.

Marketing and Sales

In 2007, Shengkai spent RMB1,741,302 for marketing and sales efforts and in 2008 plans to invest an additional RMB468,632. Such funding will be used to implement the following strategies to achieve our sales objectives:

Targeted marketing: Two market departments will be set up for domestic and overseas markets: Department No. 1 will be responsible for domestic marketing and engaging in direct sales for regular customers and sales via agents for spot sales. Sales teams will be set up by geographical region. Currently, Shengkai has set up distribution offices in Hunan, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Hebei, Jiangxi and Hubei and plans to increase its sales force, enlarge investment in marketing and increase sales volume. Due to geographical limitations and cultural differences, Department No. 2 will engage in no direct sales, but will instead utilize foreign agents to conduct sales in international markets. We have already obtained approval and authentication to export to Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region.

Sales training: Each sales personnel member in the company will be trained in grass-roots production before starting work, so as to become familiar with production flow and product characteristics. The HR department has prepared a training plan aimed at sales personnel to educate them in sales and product knowledge. To ensure the professionalism of our employees, all of our sales personnel must pass an exam following training, before they may start work.

Value-added services: Shengkai will enhance the quality of our before-sales, during sales and after-sales service. Shengkai will develop before-sales technical design service to achieve a perfect connection of product with customer demand.

New industries: Shengkai aims to increase sales to customers in the environmental protection and electric power industry. Shengkai will also dedicate its energies to expanding our market into new fields like petrochemicals, metallurgy and ore mining. In the fiscal year 2008, revenue is expected to be approximately $33,000,000, with the power industry comprising approximately 82% of revenue, and the aluminum, petrochemical and chemical, metallurgy and other industries comprising approximately 2%, 5%, 8% and 3%, respectively. We have already taken the first step toward entering the petrochemical industry market by gaining the qualification of first-class supplier for PetroChina Co. Ltd. and CPCC.  We estimate that by fiscal year 2009, the petrochemical industry will comprise approximately 20% of Shengkai's revenue, and the metallurgy, aluminum and power industries will comprise 10%, 5%, and 65% of Shengkai's revenue, respectively.

Competition

Competitive Environment

Currently, the world ceramic valve industry is still in its infancy. Ceramic valves represent a very small proportion in the industrial valve industry. According to our estimates, sales volume for ceramic valves in China represented less than 1% of the total volume for industrial valves in China in 2006.
  
Shengkai’s main competitors are manufacturers of metal valves, which currently still represent the majority market share in the valve market. Although the unit price of metal valves is typically cheaper than the unit price of ceramic valves, ceramic valves are more durable than metal valves and as such are most cost-effective than metal valves. Primary Chinese metal valve competitors include Sufa Technology Industry Co., Ltd. CNNC, Neway Valve (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., Hunan Kefeng High-Pressure Valves Co., Ltd., and Lanzhou High-Pressure Valves Co., Ltd.
 
Within the ceramic valve industry, at present we estimate that we represent over 70% of the Chinese market. The business of our primary ceramic valve competitors is briefly described below:
 
Ceresist Inc. Primary line of business: high quality ceramic ball valve and ceramic pipeline manufacture. Single equipment is used for structural ceramics production, resulting in few varieties, small caliber and high production cost of ceramic valves. There is no branch in China so far.

Fujikin of America Inc. Primary line of business: semiconductor material and ceramic valves, particularly small ceramic adjustable ball valves. Fuji kin specializes in the manufacture of control devices for valves, but it relies primarily on outsourcing for its ceramic valve cores. There is no branch in China so far.

Shenzhen Nanbo Structure Ceramics Co., Ltd. Primary line of business: series of high-quality small-sized ceramic ball valves with ball, with favorable market share. Its production mainly relies on imported ceramic equipment with single variety and small caliber. The company conducts no R&D of ceramics and does not have large-scale production capacity for ceramic valves.

Many of the international companies, in particular, have longer operating histories and have more established relationships with customers and end users and are engaged in major markets of general industrial products and cutting edge technology fields. With respect to the niche market of ceramic valves manufacture, presently U.S. valve manufacturers Ceresist and Fuji Kin have a mature production scale for ceramic valves, but they do not make industrial ceramics development and ceramic valve production their main line of business, and they rely on either single-use equipment or outsourcing for production of ceramic components. There are fewer than 10 other ceramic valve manufacturers in China, all of which have sales volumes below RMB5 million. With the exception of Shenzhen Nanbo Structure Ceramics Co., Ltd., these companies mainly depend on outsourcing for ceramic pieces.

Our Competitive Advantages

At present, we estimate that we represent over 70% of the market share in the domestic ceramic valve market. Given our early entry into the ceramic valve market, we believe we enjoy a leading position in China because of our head start in ceramic material technology and valve assembly.

Presently, the technology of other domestic and overseas industrial ceramic valves manfacturers limit production to small-bore ball valves with pressure levels below 2.5MPa. In contrast, Shengkai produces a variety of ceramics in every category (gate valve, ball valve, back valve, adjustable valve, cut-off valve and special valve) and produce more than 700 specifications that sustain a maximum pressure level of 42MPa. The largest ceramic valve caliber produced by Shengkai is 1,000mm; currently, we believe that other manufacturers in the world only produce ceramic ball valves and ceramic adjustable valves with 150mm caliber or less. We believe that Shengkai's ability to produce a comprehensive category of high-quality ceramic products, together with its self-developed ceramic processor, leak-proof valve sealing technology and strong technology development capacity, set it apart from its domestic and international competitors.

Shengkai has established a cooperative relationship with Tianjin University of Science & Technology. The company will further strengthen cooperation with colleges and universities, so as to realize a better integration of practical experience of the company and intellectual resources of the universities.

Our Future Goals and Expansion Plans

We have the following near-term goals for our company:
 
 
·
Develop new technology for the industry. We plan to increase investment in technology development and continue conducting research on engineering structural ceramics that will advance the ceramic industrial valve market.
 
·
Lower production costs. We plan to digitalize its machinery and streamline its valve production so as to lower the production cost of ceramic valves and hasten their substitution for metal valves.
 
·
Internationalization. Currently, we have started to gain brand awareness in the overseas valve market. We will keep expanding market share in the international market via well-known foreign agents, so as to enhance sales volume and profit in the international market.

Technology Development

In 2007, Shengkai entered into an agreement with a technology development company to purchase a computer system in improving the quality of ceramic value production, (“the Computer System). Shengkai expects the Computer System to be delivered within 2 years and total cost is $8,544,330 (RMB 60,000,000). Shengkai has already paid $4,272,165 (RMB 30,000,000) for the Computer System and commit to pay the balance during next eighteen months.

Shengkai focuses its technology development on those product areas that have the highest demand, so as to speed-up market share expansion of ceramic valves, lower the risks of product development and promotion, and improve the company’s input-output ratio. Shengkai has also increased investment in nano ceramics performance enhancement via nano technology, so as to continue to increase the caliber, pressure and temperature scope of ceramic valves (and the displacement of metal valves in the market).

Shengkai is currently working to introduce a digital-control processing center to greatly enhance process precision and efficiency and will improve the over all quality of Shengkai’s valves. We anticipate the mode of an entire digital-controlled machine tool process will also reduce the need for a larger workforce while increasing the specialization of our workforce. We estimate that machinization will reduce labor costs for machine work personnel by 50-60% and installation personnel costs by 30%, in roughly the same proportion as productivity is expected to increase.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information contained in this prospectus before deciding to invest in our common stock.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
 
Our new organizational structure makes it difficult for us to evaluate our future business prospects.
 
Prior to May 30, 2008, our business was operated through Shengkai. Under the present structure, although there is no change in personnel, we have agreements with Shengkai pursuant to which we manage and derive the profit from Shengkai’s business by providing the exclusive supporting services from SK Ceramic Valves to Shengkai. It is possible that the change in our business structure may impair our ability to operate our business.
 
Failure to comply with PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may materially adversely affect us.
 
17

 
In October 2005, the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, issued the Notice on Relevant Issues in the Foreign Exchange Control over Financing and Round-Trip Investment Through Special Purpose Companies by Residents Inside China, generally referred to as Circular 75. The policy announced in this notice required PRC residents to register with the relevant SAFE branch before establishing or acquiring control over an offshore special purpose company, or SPV, for the purpose of engaging in an equity financing outside of China on the strength of domestic PRC assets originally held by those residents. Internal implementing guidelines issued by SAFE, which became public in May 2007 (known as Notice 106), expanded the reach of Circular 75. In the case of an SPV which was established, and which acquired a related domestic company or assets, before the implementation date of Circular 75, a retroactive SAFE registration was required to have been completed before March 31, 2006; this date was subsequently extended indefinitely by Notice 106, which also required that the registrant establish that all foreign exchange transactions undertaken by the SPV and its affiliates were in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Failure to comply with the requirements of Circular 75, as applied by SAFE in accordance with Notice 106, may result in fines and other penalties under PRC laws for evasion of applicable foreign exchange restrictions. Any such failure could also result in the SPV’s affiliates being impeded or prevented from distributing their profits and the proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation to the SPV, or from engaging in other transfers of funds into or out of China.
 
We believe we comply with the applicable regulations. Currently, Wang Chen, Guo Wei, Zhao Yanqiu, Ji Haihong, Zhang Ying, Miao Yang, Wu Yanping and Liu Naifan are PRC residents who, in accordance with Circular 75 and Notice 106, have each completed registration with the Tianjin branch of SAFE for the foreign exchange of overseas investment. We cannot however assure you that, if challenged by government agencies, the structure of our organization has fully complied with all applicable registrations or approvals required by Circular 75. Moreover, because of uncertainty over how Circular 75 will be interpreted and implemented, and how or whether SAFE will apply it to us, we cannot predict how it will affect our business operations or future strategies. A failure by such PRC resident beneficial holders or future PRC resident stockholders to comply with Circular 75 and Notice 106, if SAFE requires it, could subject these PRC resident beneficial holders to fines or legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions or pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects.
 
Our principal stockholder has the power to control our business.
 
Our principal stockholder, Long Sunny Limited, owns 78.68% of our Common Stock as of June 11, 2008. As a result, Long Sunny Limited has the ability to elect all of our directors and to approve any action requiring stockholder action, without the vote of any other stockholders.
 
Because we may require additional financing to expand our operations, our failure to obtain necessary financing may impair our operations.
 
At March 31, 2008, we had working capital of approximately $11,104,061. Our capital requirements in connection with the development of our business are significant. During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, we spent approximately $3,466,307 for the purchase of raw materials and equipment, of which $3,400,977 was used to raw materials and $65,330 was used to purchase equipment.
 
To the extent that we require financing, the absence of an active public market for our common stock, the terms of the Financing and the number of outstanding warrants and the exercise price and other terms on which we may issue common stock upon exercise of the warrants, it may be difficult for us to raise additional equity capital if required for our present business or for any planned expansion. We cannot assure you that we will be able to get additional financing on any terms, and, if we are able to raise funds, it may be necessary for us to sell our securities at a price which is at a significant discount from the market price and on other terms which may be disadvantageous to us. In connection with any such financing, we may be required to provide registration rights to the investors and pay damages to the investor in the event that the registration statement is not filed or declared effective by specified dates. The price and terms of any financing which would be available to us could result in both the issuance of a significant number of shares and significant downward pressure on our stock price and could result in a reduction of the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock. Further, since the investors in the Financing have a right to participate in future financings, this right may affect our ability to obtain financing from other sources.
 
18


Because our products are marketed both in the domestic and international markets, we are subject to both domestic and international competition.
 
Shengkai faces two types of competitors: (i) manufacturers of metal valves, which currently still represent the majority market share in the entire valve market, competing with ceramic valves with its lower price; and (ii) Chinese and international companies that are better known and have greater financial resources than we have. Many of the international companies, in particular, have longer operating histories and have more established relationships with customers and end users. Three of our international competitors also may have a greater ability to attract and retain users than we do because they are engaged in major markets of general industrial products and cutting edge technology fields. If our competitors are successful in providing similar or better valve products or make their services easier to access, we could experience a decline in demand for our products.
 
An increase in the cost of raw materials will affect sales and revenues.
 
Raw materials required for valve production includes metal materials and ceramic materials like aluminum oxide and zinc oxide; a large number of spare parts in various specifications are also purchased during production. Any increase in the prices of these raw materials will affect the price at which we can sell our product. If we are not able to raise our prices to pass on increased costs, we would be unable to maintain our margins.
 
Our business and operations are experiencing rapid growth. If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our business and operating results could be harmed.
 
We have experienced, and continue to experience, rapid growth in our operations, which has placed, and will continue to place, significant demands on our management, operational and financial infrastructure. If we do not effectively manage our growth, the quality of our products and services could suffer, which could negatively affect our operating results. To effectively manage this growth, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. These systems enhancements and improvements may require significant capital expenditures and management resources. Failure to implement these improvements could hurt our ability to manage our growth and our financial position.

Our intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them could reduce the value of our products, services and brand.
 
Our patents, trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights and other intellectual property rights are important assets for us. Various events outside of our control pose a threat to our intellectual property rights as well as to our products and services. For example, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in China and other countries in which our products are sold. Also, the efforts we have taken to protect our proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business or our ability to compete. Also, protecting our intellectual property rights is costly and time consuming. Any increase in the unauthorized use of our intellectual property could make it more expensive to do business and harm our operating results.
 
Because we depend on third parties to market our products in the international market, any problems encountered by these third parties could affect our sales.
 
Although the market for valve products is international, most of our products are sold to companies in the PRC. We do not have any offices outside of the PRC, and we depend on other companies to market our products in the international market. As a result, we are dependent upon third parties, over which we have no control, to develop and implement an international marketing effort. Any problems encountered by these third parties, including potential violations of laws of the PRC or other countries, may affect their ability to sell our products which would, in turn, affect our net sales.
 
19

  
We rely on highly skilled personnel and the continuing efforts of our executive officers and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, our business may be severely disrupted if we lose their services.
 
Our performance largely depends on the talents and efforts of highly skilled individuals and in particular, the technology and expertise held by our Chief Executive Officer, Wang Chen. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly skilled personnel for all areas of our organization. Our continued ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to attract new technology developers and to retain and motivate our existing contractors.

We do not maintain key man life insurance on any of our executive officers. If one or more of our executive officers are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them readily, if at all. Therefore, our business may be severely disrupted, and we may incur additional expenses to recruit and retain new officers. In addition, if any of our executives joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose some of our customers. Our chief executive officer is a party to contractual agreements as described elsewhere in this Form 8-K. However, if any disputes arise between our executive officer and us, we cannot assure you, in light of uncertainties associated with the Chinese legal system, the extent to which any of these agreements could be enforced in China, where some of our executive officers reside and hold some of their assets.

Because we have inadequate insurance coverage in the PRC, we may not be protected from risks that are customarily covered by insurance in the United States.
 
We do not presently maintain product liability insurance, and our property and equipment insurance does not cover the full value of our property and equipment, which leaves us with exposure in the event of loss or damage to our properties or claims filed against us.

We currently do not carry any product liability or other similar insurance. We cannot assure you that we would not face liability in the event of the failure of any of our products. This is particularly true given our plan to significantly expand our sales into international markets, like the United States, where product liability claims are more prevalent.

Except for automobile insurance, we do not have other insurance such as business liability or disruption insurance coverage for our operations in the PRC.

We do not maintain a reserve fund for warranty or defective products claims. Our costs could substantially increase if we experience a significant number of warranty claims. We have not established any reserve funds for potential warranty claims since historically we have experienced few warranty claims for our products so that the costs associated with our warranty claims have been low. If we experience an increase in warranty claims or if our repair and replacement costs associated with warranty claims increase significantly, it would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Certain key technology for our business is uninsured.

The “recipe” to our unique method for creating structural ceramic valves is held by Wang Chen, our CEO, and his mother, Guo Chuanye. This technology is recorded but inaccessible by anyone but Mr. Wang and Ms. Guo. If either of these two key individuals were to lose the ability to recall this technology, either through death or incapacity, we would lose key technology that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our Chief Executive Officer controls us through his position and stock ownership and his interests may differ from other stockholders.

Upon exercise of the Call Option Agreement, our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Wang, will beneficially own 78.68% of our common stock through his 100% holding in Long Sunny Limited. As a result, Mr. Wang will be able to influence the outcome of stockholder votes on various matters, including the election of directors and extraordinary corporate transactions such as business combinations. Mr. Wang’s interests may differ from that of other stockholders.
 
20

 
Additionally, Mr. Wang and our pending director, Guo Wei, are husband and wife and as such their interests may not be independent from one another.

Our operations may be adversely affected by the unilateral decisionmaking structure of Shengkai, the entity through which we operate our business.

Shengkai’s Articles of Association provides for its governance by an executive director, instead of a board of directors, to be appointed by its shareholders. In accordance with the PRC Company Act permits PRC companies with a smaller number of shareholders or registered capital to be governed by a sole executive director. Mr. Wang Chen currently serves as executive director. Pursuant to Shengkai’s Articles of Association, the executive director’s actions are overseen by a supervisor, Guo Chuanji, who holds no interest in the company. Notwithstanding such supervision, the governance of Shengkai by a single executive director could result in inadequately vetted business decisions that could negatively affect the performance of our operations.

We rely on energy and transportation services or others in providing products and services to our users, and any failure or interruption in the services and products provided by these third parties could harm our ability to operate our business and damage our reputation.
 
Our systems are heavily reliant on the availability of electricity. If we were to experience a major power outage, we would have to rely on back-up generators. These back-up generators may not operate properly and their fuel supply could be inadequate during a major power outage. This could result in a disruption of our business.
 
If we fail to obtain all required licenses, permits, or approval, we may be unable to expand our operations.
 
Before we can develop certain products, we must obtain a variety of approvals from local and municipal governments. There no assurance that we will be able to obtain all required licenses, permits, or approvals from government authorities. If we fail to obtain all required licenses, permits or approvals, we may be unable to expand our operations.
 
If we make any acquisitions, they may disrupt or have a negative impact on our business.
 
Although we have no present plans for any acquisitions, in the event that we make acquisitions, we could have difficulty integrating the acquired companies’ personnel and operations with our own. In addition, the key personnel of the acquired business may not be willing to work for us. We cannot predict the affect expansion may have on our core business. Regardless of whether we are successful in making an acquisition, the negotiations could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses. In addition to the risks described above, acquisitions are accompanied by a number of inherent risks, including, without limitation, the following:
 
 
o 
the difficulty of integrating acquired products, services or operations; 
     
 
o
the potential disruption of the ongoing businesses and distraction of our management and the management of acquired companies;
 
 
o
the difficulty of incorporating acquired rights or products into our existing business;
 
 
o
difficulties in disposing of the excess or idle facilities of an acquired company or business and expenses in maintaining such facilities;
 
 
o
difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;
 
 
o
the potential impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of new management personnel;
 
21

 
 
o
the potential inability or failure to achieve additional sales and enhance our customer base through cross-marketing of the products to new and existing customers;
 
 
o
the effect of any government regulations which relate to the business acquired;
 
 
o
potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses or product lines, or the need to spend significant amounts to retool, reposition or modify the marketing and sales of acquired products or the defense of any litigation, whether of not successful, resulting from actions of the acquired company prior to our acquisition.
 
Our business could be severely impaired if and to the extent that we are unable to succeed in addressing any of these risks or other problems encountered in connection with these acquisitions, many of which cannot be presently identified, these risks and problems could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations.
 
We may be required to pay liquidated damages if we do not register shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and Warrants issued in the Financing or if we are not listed on a national exchange within a specified time period.
 
The registration rights agreements, which we executed in connection with the Financing, requires us to file a registration statement with the SEC within 45 days after the earlier of the date of the Second Closing (as defined in Item 3.02 below) or June 30, 2008, and declared effective by the SEC not later than November 27, 2008. We are required to pay liquidated damages to each Purchaser in an amount equal to 1 percent of the Purchaser’s initial acquisition of Preferred Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for each month passed the relevant deadline that the registration statement is not filed or not declared effective, for any period that we fail to keep the registration statement effective, or for any period that we cause our stock to be delisted from the OTC Bulletin Board, up to a maximum of 10 percent.

Pursuant to the First Amendment to the Purchase Agreement and the Securities Escrow Agreement, if we fail to use commercially reasonable efforts to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq Global Select Market or Nasdaq Global Market or the American Stock Exchange within 18 months of the First Closing (as defined in Item 3.02 below), 1,000,000 shares of common stock owned by Principal Stockholders will be distributed to the Purchasers on a pro rata basis.
 
Because the holder of our Warrants have cashless exercise rights, we may not receive proceeds from the exercise of the outstanding warrants if the underlying shares are not registered.
 
The holders of our Warrants issued in the Financing have cashless exercise rights, which provide them with the ability to receive common stock with a value equal to the appreciation in the stock price over the exercise price of the warrants being exercised. This right is not exercisable prior to June 10, 2009 and thereafter it is only exercisable if the underlying shares are not subject to an effective registration statement. To the extent that the holders exercise the cashless exercise rights, we will not receive any proceeds on exercise of warrants.
 
Risks Related to Doing Business in China
 
Adverse changes in political and economic policies of the Chinese government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China, which could reduce the demand for our products and materially and adversely affect our competitive position. 
 
Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are affected significantly by economic, political and legal developments in China. The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including:
 
22

 
o
the amount of government involvement;
 
o
the level of development;
 
o
the growth rate;
 
o
the control of foreign exchange; and
 
o
the allocation of resources. 
 
While the Chinese economy has grown significantly in the past 20 years, the growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may also have a negative effect on us. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us.
 
The Chinese economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. Although in recent years the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of sound corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of the productive assets in China is still owned by the Chinese government. The continued control of these assets and other aspects of the national economy by the Chinese government could materially and adversely affect our business. The Chinese government also exercises significant control over Chinese economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Efforts by the Chinese government to slow the pace of growth of the Chinese economy could result in decreased capital expenditure by solar energy users, which in turn could reduce demand for our products.
 
Any adverse change in the economic conditions or government policies in China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth and the level of renewable energy investments and expenditures in China, which in turn could lead to a reduction in demand for our products and consequently have a material adverse effect on our businesses.
 
 Fluctuation in the value of the Renminbi may have a material adverse effect on your investment. 
 
The change in 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. On July 21,2005, the Chinese government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the Renminbi is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an appreciation of Renminbi against U.S. dollar, which is continuing. While the international reaction to the Renminbi revaluation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the Chinese government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar. As a portion of our costs and expenses is denominated in Renminbi, the revaluation in July 2005 and potential future revaluation has and could further increase our costs. In addition, as we rely entirely on dividends paid to us by our operating subsidiaries, any significant revaluation of the Renminbi may have a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial condition, and the value of, and any of our dividends payable on our ordinary shares in foreign currency terms. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars we receive from this offering into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the Renminbi amount we receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.
 
23

 
Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenues effectively. 
 
All of our revenues and most of our expenses are denominated in Renminbi. If our revenues denominated in Renminbi increase or expenses denominated in Renminbi decrease in the future, we may need to convert a portion of our revenues into other currencies to meet our foreign currency obligations, including, among others, payment of dividends declared, if any, in respect of our ordinary shares. Under China’s existing foreign exchange regulations, we are able to pay dividends in foreign currencies, without prior approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, we cannot assure you that that the Chinese government will not take further measures in the future to restrict access to foreign currencies for current account transactions.

Capital outflow policies in the PRC may hamper our ability to remit income to the United States.
 
The People’s Republic of China has adopted currency and capital transfer regulations. These regulations may require that we comply with complex regulations for the movement of capital and as a result we may not be able to remit all income earned and proceeds received in connection with our operations or from the sale of our operating subsidiary to the U.S. or to our stockholders.
 
Our operations and assets in the PRC are subject to significant political and economic uncertainties.
 
Government policies are subject to rapid change and the government of the China may adopt policies which have the effect of hindering private economic activity and greater economic decentralization. There is no assurance that the government of the China will not significantly alter its policies from time to time without notice in a manner with reduces or eliminates any benefits from its present policies of economic reform. In addition, a substantial portion of productive assets in China remains government-owned. For instance, all lands are state owned and leased to business entities or individuals through governmental granting of state-owned land use rights. The granting process is typically based on government policies at the time of granting, which could be lengthy and complex. This process may adversely affect our business. The government of China also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Uncertainties may arise with changing of governmental policies and measures. In addition, changes in laws and regulations, or their interpretation, or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports and sources of supply, devaluations of currency, the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises, as well as adverse changes in the political, economic or social conditions in China, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
A downturn in the economy of China may slow our growth and profitability.
 
The growth of the Chinese economy has been uneven across geographic regions and economic sectors. There can be no assurance that growth of the Chinese economy will be steady or that any downturn will not have a negative effect on our business.  
 
Because Chinese law governs almost all of our material agreements, we may not be able to enforce our legal rights within China or elsewhere, which could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities, or capital.  
 
Chinese law governs almost all of our material agreements. We cannot assure you that we will be able to enforce any of our material agreements or that remedies will be available outside of China. The system of laws and the enforcement of existing laws in China may not be as certain in implementation and interpretation as in the United States. The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our future agreements could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital.
 
24

 
It will be extremely difficult to acquire jurisdiction and enforce liabilities against our officers, directors and assets based in China.  
 
Substantially all of our assets will be located in the PRC and our officers and our present directors reside outside of the United States.  As a result, it may not be possible for United States investors to enforce their legal rights, to effect service of process upon our directors or officers or to enforce judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties of our directors and officers under Federal securities laws. Moreover, we have been advised that China does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts with the United States. Further, it is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the United States and China would permit effective enforcement of criminal penalties of the Federal securities laws.  
 
 We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in China, which could impair our planning processes and make it difficult to provide accurate reports of our operating results.   
 
China historically has not followed Western style management and financial reporting concepts and practices, and its access to modern banking, computer and other control systems has been limited.  Although we will be required to implement internal controls, we may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in China in these areas. As a result of these factors, we may experience difficulty in establishing the required controls and instituting business practices that meet Western standards, making it difficult for management to forecast its needs and to present the results of our operations accurately at all times. If we are unable to establish the required controls, market makers may be reluctant to make a market in our stock and investors may be reluctant to purchase our stock, which would make it difficult for you to sell any shares of common stock that you may own or acquire.
 
Because our funds are held in banks which do not provide insurance, the failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could affect our ability to continue in business.
 
Banks and other financial institutions in the PRC do not provide insurance for funds held on deposit. As a result, in the event of a bank failure, we may not have access to funds on deposit. Depending upon the amount of money we maintain in a bank that fails, our inability to have access to our cash could impair our operations, and, if we are not able to access funds to pay our suppliers, employees and other creditors, we may be unable to continue in business.
 
Imposition of trade barriers and taxes may reduce our ability to do business internationally, and the resulting loss of revenue could harm our profitability.    
 
We may experience barriers to conducting business and trade in our targeted emerging markets in the form of delayed customs clearances, customs duties and tariffs. In addition, we may be subject to repatriation taxes levied upon the exchange of income from local currency into foreign currency, substantial taxes of profits, revenues, assets and payroll, as well as value-added tax. The markets in which we plan to operate may impose onerous and unpredictable duties, tariffs and taxes on our business and products, and there can be no assurance that this will not reduce the level of sales that we achieve in such markets, which would reduce our revenues and profits.

Failure to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.
 
We are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, are not subject to these prohibitions. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in the PRC. We can make no assurance, however, that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock
 
The trading price for our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile
 
The market price of our common stock has experienced fluctuations and may continue to fluctuate significantly. The market price of our common shares may be adversely affected by various factors, including enforcement of existing laws, innovation and technological changes, the emergence of new competitors, the perception of desirability of investing in Chinese companies, quarterly variations in revenue and results of operations, speculation in the press or analyst community and general market conditions or market conditions specific to particular industries.
 
There is a limited market for our common stock, which may make it difficult for you to sell your stock.
 
Our common stock trades on the OTCBB under the symbol “SOSA.OB.” There is a limited trading market for our common stock. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any markets that may develop for our common stock, the ability of holders of our common stock to sell our common stock, or the prices at which holders may be able to sell our common stock.

 The rights of the holders of common stock may be impaired by the potential issuance of preferred stock.
 
We are required to amend our articles of incorporation to provide for a class of preferred stock and to give our board of directors the right to amend the designation of its Preferred Shares. As a result, the board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, conversion, liquidation or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and equity interest of the holders of common stock. Preferred stock, which could be issued with the right to more than one vote per share, could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control. The possible impact on takeover attempts could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any additional shares of preferred stock or to create any new series of preferred stock and the certificate of designation relating to the Preferred Shares restricts our ability to issue additional series of preferred stock, we may issue such shares in the future. Without the consent of the holders of 75% of the outstanding Preferred Shares, we may not alter or change adversely the rights of the holders of the Preferred Shares or increase the number of authorized shares of Preferred Shares, create a class of stock which is senior to or on a parity with the Preferred Shares, amend our articles of incorporation in breach of these provisions or agree to any of the foregoing.
 
Our shares are subject to the U.S. “Penny Stock” Rules and investors who purchase our shares may have difficulty re-selling their shares as the liquidity of the market for our shares may be adversely affected by the impact of the “Penny Stock” Rules.
 
Our stock is subject to U.S. "Penny Stock" rules, which may make the stock more difficult to trade on the open market. Our common shares currently trade on the OTCBB. A "penny stock" is generally defined by regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as an equity security with a market price of less than US$5.00 per share. However, an equity security with a market price under US$5.00 will not be considered a penny stock if it fits within any of the following exceptions:
 
 
(i)
the equity security is listed on AMEX or a national securities exchange;
 
(ii)
the issuer of the equity security has been in continuous operation for less than three years, and either has (a) net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,000, or (b) average annual revenue of at least US$6,000,000; or
 
(iii)
the issuer of the equity security has been in continuous operation for more than three years, and has net tangible assets of at least US$2,000,000.
 
Our common stock does not currently fit into any of the above exceptions.
 
If an investor buys or sells a penny stock, SEC regulations require that the investor receive, prior to the transaction, a disclosure explaining the penny stock market and associated risks. Furthermore, trading in our common stock is currently subject to Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, which relates to non-NASDAQ and non-exchange listed securities. Under this rule, broker/dealers who recommend our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. Securities are exempt from this rule if their market price is at least $5.00 per share.
 
26

 
Since our common stock is currently deemed a penny stock, it will be subject to penny stock regulations, which may reduce market liquidity of our common stock, because they limit the broker/dealers' ability to trade, and a purchaser's ability to sell, the stock in the secondary market.
 
The low price of our common stock has a negative effect on the amount and percentage of transaction costs paid by individual shareholders. The low price of our common stock also limits our ability to raise additional capital by issuing additional shares. There are several reasons for these effects. First, the internal policies of certain institutional investors prohibit the purchase of low-priced stocks. Second, many brokerage houses do not permit low-priced stocks to be used as collateral for margin accounts or to be purchased on margin. Third, some brokerage house policies and practices tend to discourage individual brokers from dealing in low-priced stocks. Finally, broker's commissions on low-priced stocks usually represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher priced stocks. As a result, our shareholders may pay transaction costs that are a higher percentage of their total share value than if our share price were substantially higher.
 
As an issuer of “penny stock” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward-looking statements does not apply to us and as a result we could be subject to legal action.

Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, if we are a penny stock, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.

For more information about penny stocks, contact the Office of Filings, Information and Consumer Services of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549, or by telephone at 1-800-732-0330.
 
The issuance of shares through our stock compensation plans may dilute the value of existing stockholders and may affect the market price of our stock.
 
Although we do not have an option or other equity-based incentive plan at present, in the future we may use stock options, stock grants and other equity-based incentives, to provide motivation and compensation to our officers, employees and key independent consultants. The award of any such incentives will result in an immediate and potentially substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and could result in a decline in the value of our stock price. The exercise of these options and the sale of the underlying shares of common stock and the sale of stock issued pursuant to stock grants may have an adverse effect upon the price of our stock.
 
Standards for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are uncertain, and if we fail to comply in a timely manner, our business could be harmed and our stock price could decline.
 
Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and attestation of this assessment by our company's independent registered public accountants. The SEC extended the compliance dates for non-accelerated filers, as defined by the SEC. Accordingly, we believe that the annual assessment of our internal controls requirement will first apply to our annual report for the 2007 fiscal year and the attestation requirement of management's assessment by our independent registered public accountants will first apply to our annual report for the 2008 fiscal year. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are new and complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. We may encounter problems or delays in completing activities necessary to make an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the attestation process by our independent registered public accountants is new and we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any requested improvements and receiving an attestation of our assessment by our independent registered public accountants. If we cannot assess our internal control over financial reporting as effective, or our independent registered public accountants are unable to provide an unqualified attestation report on such assessment, investor confidence and share value may be negatively impacted.
 
27

   
The issuance and sale of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants could result in a change of control.
 
If we issue all of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants, the 13,227,226 shares of Common Stock so issuable would constitute approximately 37.4% of our then outstanding common stock. The percentage would increase to the extent that we are required to issue any additional shares of common stock become upon conversion of the Preferred Shares pursuant to the anti-dilution and adjustment provisions and pursuant to the liquidated damages provision of the Registration Rights Agreement. Any sale of all or a significant percentage of those shares to a person or group could result in a change of control.
 
 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operation of the Company for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 should be read in conjunction with the selected financial data, the financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K”). Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors, Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in this Form 8-K. We use terms such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates (See Note 2 in the Notes to Financial Statements).
 
Revenue recognition

Net revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold recognized upon the delivery of goods to customers, net of value added tax (“VAT”), after allowances for returns and discounts and the value of services rendered. Revenue is recognized when the following four criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
 
Intangible assets

Intangible assets represent land use rights, patent rights and other assets (such as use of software) in the PRC. Land use rights are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of rights of 50 years commencing from the date of acquisition of equitable interest. Patent rights are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of rights of 10 years commencing from the date of acquisition of equitable interest.
 
29

 
Foreign currency translation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of Shengkai is the Renminbi (RMB). The financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

Results of Operations
 
Comparison of the Years Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

Revenue
 
Revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 was $23,124,748, an increase of $9,446,802 or 69.1% from $13,677,946 for the comparable period in 2006. Approximately 93% of our source of revenue came from customers in the electric power, petrochemical and chemical and metallurgy industries for the past two years of 2007 and 2006, especially the electric power industry contributed approximately 77% of total revenue in 2007. Revenue from the electric power industry was approximately $17.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, an increase of approximately $6.6 million or 59% from approximately $11.3 million for the comparable period in 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in our customer base. Our sales to the growing petrochemical and chemical industry was $1.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $1.0 million or 267% from US$0.4 million for the comparable period in 2006. Revenue in the metallurgy industry was approximately $2.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $1.1 million or 114% from $1.0 million for the comparable period in 2006.

Gross profit

Gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, was $13,880,156, an increase of $5,555,697 or 66.7% compared to $8,324,459 for the comparable period in 2006. Although gross profit increased compared with the same period in 2006, the gross profit margin in 2007 slightly decreased from 60.9% in 2006 to 60.0% in 2007. This was primarily attributable to costs related to the provision of sample products and promotional discounts to new customers to increase their confidence in our products. .
 
Selling expenses

Shengkai’s selling expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 was $2,639,249, an increase of $1,171,574 or 79.8% compared to $1,467,675 for the comparable period in 2006. The major selling expense incurred was commission paid to the agents for introducing new customers to us which was approximately $2.2 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, an increase of approximately $0.9 million or 69% from approximately $1.3 million for the comparable period in 2006. This expense increased in line with the incremental sales. Another major selling expense incurred was advertising, which was $222,430 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $199,150 or 855.5% from $23,280 for the comparable period of 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to Shengkai’s increased participation in local and overseas industry exhibitions as well as increased advertising in local and oversea magazines.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 was $1,398,439, an increase of $759,249 or 118.8% comparing to $639,190 for the comparable period in 2006. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in amortization of intangible assets to $462,182 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $370,209 or 402.5% compared to $91,973 for the comparable period in 2006, due to increased expenditures for the purchase of new production technologies and patent applications. Another reason for the increase in general and administrative expenses was an increase in personnel-related costs and technical consultation fees.
 
30

 
Interest expenses
 
Interest expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 were $20,174, a decrease of $4,538 or 18.4% compared to $24,712 for the comparable period in 2006. The interest expense was incurred from a short term loan with an interest rate of 6.417% per annum. However, this loan was redeemed early in February 2007, resulting in an overall decrease in interest expenses.
 
Other Income (Expense)

Other income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 was $25,506, a decrease of $5,432 or 17.6% compared to $30,938 for the comparable period in 2006. This other income was received in the form of innovation grants and subsidies from the government. The amount of grants and subsidies would depend on the annual budget of Tianjin Municipal Government. As such, the decrease in other income was primarily attributable to varying amount of grants from the Tianjin Municipal Government

Income Tax Expenses

Income tax expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $3,284,829 and $2,055,815 respectively, an increase of $1,229,014 or 59.8% over these two fiscal years. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in sales. The effective income tax rates were 33% for both the fiscal years of 2007 and 2006.
 
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007

Revenue

Revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 was $24,028,336, an increase of $7,350,438 or 44.1% from $16,677,898 for the comparable period in 2007. Similar to the last two fiscal years, approximately 93% of our source of revenue came from customers in the electric power, petrochemical and chemical and metallurgy industries for the past nine months period. The electric power industry was still the significant market to our revenue, contributing approximately 82% of total revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Revenue from the electric power industry was approximately $18.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of approximately $6.2 million or 50% from approximately $12.6 million for the comparable period in 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to broadening our customer base. The revenues from petrochemical and chemical industry and metallurgy industry were very steady, were recorded $2.7 million for both the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. Revenue from other industries contributed the rest of $1.0 million increment over the comparable periods of nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

At present we are experiencing a deficiency of production capacity to meet demand for our products. We plan to expand our production capacity by acquiring additional financing to expand our operations.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 was $14,427,518, an increase of $4,500,073 or 45.3% compared to $9,927,445 for the comparable period in 2007. The gross profit margin for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 also increased slightly to 60.0% from 59.5% for the comparable period in 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to a 61% gross profit margin from sales in the electric power industry in 2008, up from 59% in 2007.

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 was $2,253,599, an increase of $580,727 or 34.7%, from $1,672,872 for the comparable period in 2007. The major selling expense was commission paid to the agents for introducing new customers to us which was approximately $2.0 million in the nine month period ended March 31, 2008, an increase of approximately $0.4 million or 29% from approximately $1.6 million in the nine month period ended March 31, 2007. Another major selling expense was travelling expense which was $68,336 in the nine month period ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $45,527 or 3 times from $22,809 in the nine month period ended March 31, 2007. This increase was mainly attributable to more frequent travel to meet new local and oversea customers.
 
31

 
General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 were $1,339,870, an increase of $541,880 or 67.9% compared to $797,990 for the comparable period in 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in amortization of intangible assets, from $293,009 to $531,631 over the comparable periods of 2007 and 2008, an increase of $238,622 or 81.4% due to increases in expenditures for the purchase of new production technologies development and patent applications. Another reason was the increase in the expenses related to preparation for the Reverse Merger Transaction and Financing.

Interest expense
 
There was no interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $20,055 for the comparable period in 2007 because the short term loan with interest rate of 6.417% per annum was redeemed early in February 2007 and no short term loan remained outstanding during the nine months ended March 31, 2008.

Income Tax Expenses

Income tax for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 was $3,195,892, an increase of 29.7% or $731,432 from $2,464,460 for the comparable period in 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in sales. However, the PRC government decreased the income tax rate on enterprises from 33% to 25% since January 1, 2008, which reduced income tax expenses by nearly $0.4 million from those expenses that would have been incurred if the previous tax rate was applied.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalent
 
Our cash and cash equivalents were $1,691,476 at the beginning of the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and increased to $3,983,194 by the end of such period, an increase of $2,291,718 or 135.5%.  The net change in cash and cash equivalents represented an increase of 355.1% or $1,788,208 from $503,510 for the comparable period in 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to a decrease in cash used in investing and financing activities.
 
Net cash provided by operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $6,242,216 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $991,726 or 13.7% from $7,233,942 for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease was primarily attributable to increase in accounts receivables caused by a substantial increase in sales over the comparable period in 2007.

Net cash used in investing activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $4,204,378 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $800,400 or 16% from $5,004,778 for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease was primarily attributable to reduced payments of intangible assets.
 
32

 
Net cash used in financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was zero for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $1,777,811 for the same period in 2007. The difference was primarily attributable to dividend payments and redemptions of short term loans that were made during the nine months ended March 31, 2007. 

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

The following table (in thousands) summarize our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2008, and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and have no foreign exchange contracts. Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable. We consider investments in highly-liquid instruments purchased with a remaining maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Interest Rates. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our short-term investments; thus, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of these investments. At March 31, 2008, we had approximately $4.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. A hypothetical 5% increase or decrease in either short term or long term interest rates would not have a material impact on our earnings or loss, or the fair market value or cash flows of these instruments.

Foreign Exchange Rates. We generally transact business in Chinese Renminbi (RMB). Recently the raw material prices increased continuously and the exchange rate of US dollars to Chinese RMB decreased continuously. These fluctuations have impacted our export business. We have taken the below actions to mitigate these risks: (1) raising prices to adjust for the difference (2) increasing inventories of material, and (3) shortening lead time of the product.
 

Our main office and our manufacturing facilities are located in Tianjin, China, on a plot of land approximately 10,023 square meters in size. We have been issued a Land Use Right Certificate for the land until September 21, 2048 by the municipal government of Tianjin, which may be renewed. We currently own and lease six buildings on the property as listed below. We believe that our existing facilities are well maintained and in good operating condition.

(1) In determining beneficial ownership of our common stock as of a given date, the number of shares shown includes shares of common stock which may be acquired on exercise of warrants or options or conversion of convertible securities within 60 days of that date. In determining the percent of common stock owned by a person or entity on June 11, 2008, (a) the numerator is the number of shares of the class beneficially owned by such person or entity, including shares which may be acquired within 60 days on exercise of warrants or options and conversion of convertible securities, and (b) the denominator is the sum of (i) the total shares of common stock outstanding on June 11, 2008 (22,112,500), and (ii) the total number of shares that the beneficial owner may acquire upon conversion of the preferred and on exercise of the warrants and options, subject to limitations on conversion and exercise as more fully described in note 14 below. Unless otherwise stated, each beneficial owner has sole power to vote and dispose of its shares.

(2) 5,915,526 shares of our Preferred Shares were issued on June 11, 2008, under a Securities Purchase Agreement we entered into and consummated with Vision Opportunity China LP for the sale of a total of 5,915,526 Units at $2.5357 per Unit, such Units including 5,915,526 Preferred Shares and Warrants to purchase up to 7,098,632 shares of our common stock. Each Preferred Share is initially convertible, at the option of the holder, into one share of our common stock. Accordingly, in total, as of June 11, 2008, all of the outstanding Preferred Shares are convertible into a total of 5,915,526 shares of our common stock, subject to a 9.9% limitation on beneficial ownership of common stock as more fully described in note 14 below.

(3) Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the purchasers have also been issued Warrants to purchase a total of 7,098,632 shares of our common stock.

(4) As of June 11, 2008, we had outstanding (i) 22,112,500 shares of common stock, (ii) 5,915,526 Preferred Shares, which were issued in a private placement to the purchasers under the Securities Purchase Agreement, and (iii) Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,311,700 shares of common stock at $3.52 per share, including 7,098,632 shares attributable to the purchasers and 213,068 shares attributable to warrants issued as consideration for consulting services pursuant to the Mass Harmony Agreement described in more detail below. The Warrants have a term of five years.

(5) Vision Opportunity China LP acquired Preferred Shares convertible into 5,915,526 shares of common stock and Warrants to purchase up to 7,098,632 shares of common stock in the Financing that closed on June 11, 2008. Vision also owns 677,500 shares of our common stock, which it acquired from their prior holders on February 14, 2008, subject to a 9.9% limitation on beneficial ownership of common stock as more fully described in note 14 below.

(7) On June 9, 2008, we acquired Shen Kun in a Reverse Merger Transaction with Long Sunny Limited and other Shen Kun Shareholders. In the Reverse Merger Transaction, as merger consideration for the Shen Kun shares we received from the Shen Kun Shareholders we issued and delivered to the Shen Kun Shareholders 20,550,000 of our newly-issued shares of common stock, of which Long Sunny Limited received 17,400,000 shares.

(8) Long Sunny Limited is owned by Li Shaoqing and Mr. Wang Chen. Their respective beneficial ownership in the Company is based upon their respective interest in Long Sunny Limited. Accordingly, 10,440,000 shares of common stock issued to Long Sunny Limited as a result of the consummation of the Reverse Merger Transaction are beneficially attributed to Mr. Li. Under a call option agreement described in note 12 below, our CEO and director, Mr. Wang Chen, has the right to acquire all of the shares of Long Sunny Limited that are owned by Mr. Li. If Mr. Wang does acquire those shares, he will become the beneficial owner of a majority of our stock held by Long Sunny Limited.

(9) Aside from John Vogel and Robert Scherne, the address of each of the officers and directors named in the table is No. 27, Wang Gang Road, Jin Nan (Shuang Gang) Economic and Technology Development Area, Tianjin, People’s Republic of China 300350.

(10) On June 9, 2008, Mr. Vogel, a director of our Company and former CEO, received 6,000 shares of our common stock as consideration for services rendered.

(11) On June 9, 2008, Mr. Scherne, our Controller and former principal accounting officer, received 15,000 shares of our common stock as consideration for services rendered.
 
36

 
(12) Mr. Wang, our new director and CEO and the longstanding chairman and CEO of Shengkai, beneficially owns 6,960,000 shares of our common stock through his interest in our controlling shareholder, Long Sunny Limited. Additionally, on the Closing Date, Mr. Wang executed an agreement that gives him the right to become the beneficial owner of the majority of our common stock. That agreement is a call option agreement between Mr. Wang and Mr. Li Shaoqing, the holder of 60% of the stock of our controlling shareholder, Long Sunny Limited. Under the agreement, Mr. Wang was granted an option to purchase all of Mr. Li’s stock in Long Sunny Limited at an exercise price of $.01 or $.001 per share, in seven installments over the course of approximately seven months, provided that Shengkai, SK Ceramic Valves and Shen Kun generate a gross revenue of at least RMB 1,500,000 per month during the period commencing June 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008 (each monthly period constituting a “Performance Period and collectively, the “Performance Periods”).

If the companies meet these performance targets, Mr. Wang may exercise his call option to purchase one-seventh of the shares held by Mr. Li in Long Sunny Limited beginning 45 days after the last date of the Performance Period. If and when Mr. Wang does acquire all of Mr. Li’s stock in Long Sunny Limited, he will become the beneficial owner of 100% of our common stock, or 17,400,000 shares, owned by Long Sunny Limited.

(13) Wang Chen and Guo Wei are husband and wife. Ms. Guo’s beneficial ownership in the Company is based upon Mr. Wang’s respective interest in Long Sunny Limited. Ms. Guo's appointment as director shall be effective on or about June 20, 2008, or 10 days following the delivery and/or mailing of the Schedule 14F-1 Information Statement.

(14) Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants and the certificate of designation for the Preferred Shares, at no time may a purchaser of Preferred Shares or Warrants convert such Purchaser’s shares into shares of our common stock if the conversion would result in such Purchaser beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) more than 9.9% of our then issued and outstanding shares of common stock; provided, however, that upon a purchaser providing us with sixty-one (61) days’ notice that such purchaser wishes to waive the cap, then the cap will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the preferred shares referenced in the waiver notice. The 9.9% beneficial ownership limitation does not prevent a stockholder from selling some of its holdings and then receiving additional shares. Accordingly, each stockholder could exercise and sell more than 9.9% of our common stock without ever at any one time holding more than this limit.

* Under 1 percent of the issued and outstanding shares as of June 11, 2008.

The executive director is elected and appointed by the shareholders for a term of three years and can be re-elected for consecutive terms.  The appointment and termination of the CEO (sometimes called the General Manager) is determined by the executive director.
 
In accordance with Shengkai’s Articles of Association and PRC law, Shengkai’s executive director is monitored by a supervisor, appointed by the shareholders for a term of three years.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our board of directors currently acts as our audit committee.  Because we only recently executed the Reverse Merger Transaction and the Financing, our Board of Directors is still in the process of finding an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Regulation S-K and directors that are “independent” as that term is used in Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act.

Audit Committee

We have not yet appointed an audit committee.  At the present time, we believe that the members of Board of Directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.  We do, however, recognize the importance of good corporate governance and intend to appoint an audit committee comprised entirely of independent directors, including at least one financial expert, in the near future.

Compensation Committee

We do not presently have a compensation committee. Our board of directors currently acts as our compensation committee.

Nominating Committee

We do not presently have a nominating committee. Our board of directors currently acts as our nominating committee.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

We strive to provide our named executive officers (as defined in Item 402 of Regulation S-K) with a competitive base salary that is in line with their roles and responsibilities when compared to peer companies of comparable size in similar locations.

It is not uncommon for PRC private companies in China to have base salaries as the sole form of compensation. The base salary level is established and reviewed based on the level of responsibilities, the experience and tenure of the individual and the current and potential contributions of the individual. The base salary is compared to the list of similar positions within comparable peer companies and consideration is given to the executive’s relative experience in his or her position.  Base salaries are reviewed periodically and at the time of promotion or other changes in responsibilities.

We plan to implement a more comprehensive compensation program, which takes into account other elements of compensation, including, without limitation, short and long term compensation, cash and non-cash, and other equity-based compensation such as stock options. We expect that this compensation program will be comparable to the programs of our peer companies and aimed to retain and attract talented individuals.

We will also consider forming a compensation committee to oversee the compensation of our named executive officers. The majority of the members of the compensation committee would be independent directors.

Compensation of Directors

As of the date of this report, our directors have received no compensation for their service on the board of directors. We plan to implement a compensation program for our independent directors, as and when they are appointed, which we anticipate will include such elements as an annual retainer, meeting attendance fees and stock options. The details of that compensation program will be negotiated with each independent director.
 
The executive director for Shengkai is not compensated for his service as executive director.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Except for the ownership of the Company’s securities, and except as set forth below, none of the directors, executive officers, holders of more than five percent of the Company’s outstanding common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any such person have, to the knowledge of the Company, had a material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction or proposed transaction which may materially affect the Company.

 
·
Prior to December 31, 2004, we entered into an exclusive worldwide license agreement with David E. Jordan, a former shareholder and father of our former president, Robert Jordan, allowing us to use a recipe developed by Mr. Jordan for our initial yellow, mustard-based barbecue sauce. Under the license agreement, we had the exclusive right to use the recipe related know-how of Mr. Jordan. We issued Mr. Jordan 500,000 shares of our common stock as consideration for the license. We agreed to exercise our best efforts, consistent with good business practice, to undertake and maintain the commercial scale production, marketing and distribution of products embodying the subject matter of the recipe. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Jordan could cancel and terminate the license in the event that we have not introduced a product into the commercial marketplace based on his recipe and recognized revenues of $500,000 from sale of such product by September 30, 2006. We did not achieve this level of sales as of September 30, 2006.

 
·
Vision Opportunity China LP, which held approximately 43.4% of our outstanding common stock before the Closing Date, had an interest in the Financing for the following reasons:

 
o
At the Closing of the Financing, Vision received Preferred Shares convertible into approximately 5.9 million shares of our common stock, subject to a 9.9% limitation on beneficial ownership of common stock at a purchase price of $2.5357 per share and could stand to realize a profit if our common stock were later to have a market value of higher than $2.5357 per share.

 
o
At the Closing of the Financing, Vision also received warrants to purchase approximately 7.1 million shares of our common stock in the future, subject to a 9.9% limitation on beneficial ownership of common stock, at an exercise price of $3.52 per share. Solely for purposes of illustration, Vision could stand to realize a profit if our common stock were later to have a market value of higher than $3.52 per share.

 
o
As part of the Financing, Vision received rights to have the common stock that is issuable to it upon conversion of its Preferred Shares registered under an effective registration statement filed by the Company with the SEC.
 
 
·
On September 16, 2007, Shengkai entered into a Financial Consulting Agreement (the “Mass Harmony Agreement”) with Mass Harmony Asset Management Limited (“Mass Harmony”). Pursuant to the Mass Harmony Agreement, Shengkai is to pay Mass Harmony an aggregate of RMB 500,000 (approximately $70,000), of which RMB 200,000 has been paid for ongoing professional services, and the balance of which is due within five business days after the closing the reverse merger described in Item 1.01 of this report. Mass Harmony also received 1.5% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company after the private placement (including the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares) and 5% of the gross proceeds of the Financing in Warrants. The services provided by Mass Harmony under the Mass Harmony Agreement include performing initial due diligence on Shengkai, preparing Shengkai’s business plan, and assisting in the corporate restructuring and financial documentation.

Procedures for Approval of Related Party Transactions
 
Our board of directors is charged with reviewing and approving all potential related party transactions.  All such related party transactions must then be reported under applicable SEC rules. We have not adopted other procedures for review, or standards for approval, of such transactions, but instead review them on a case-by-case basis.

Dividends

We have not paid dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future. We will rely on dividends from SK Ceramic Valves for our funds and PRC regulations may limit the amount of funds distributed to us from SK Ceramic Valves, which will affect our ability to declare any dividends.

Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans

As of the date of this Current Report, we do not have any securities authorized for issuance under any equity compensation plans and we do not have any equity compensation plans.
 
Penny Stock Regulations

Our shares of common stock are subject to the "penny stock" rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and various rules under this Act. In general terms, "penny stock" is defined as any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The rules provide that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the SEC, issued by a registered investment company, and excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share), or based on the issuer's net tangible assets or revenues. In the last case, the issuer's net tangible assets must exceed $3,000,000 if in continuous operation for at least three years or $5,000,000 if in operation for less than three years, or the issuer's average revenues for each of the past three years must exceed $6,000,000.

Trading in shares of penny stock is subject to additional sales practice requirements for broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Accredited investors, in general, include individuals with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 together with their spouse), and certain institutional investors. For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of the security and must have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the security. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks. These rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade or maintain a market in our common stock, to the extent it is penny stock, and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares.

The issuance of shares of common stock, Units, Preferred Shares and Warrants under the Merger Agreement and the Purchase Agreement was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act based upon our compliance with Regulation D as promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 

In connection with the foregoing, we relied upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and transfers of such shares were restricted by Southern Sauce in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act. All of the above-referenced persons were provided with access to our Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following is a summary description of our capital stock and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to this report. The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.

General

We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, and 15,000,000 shares of blank-check preferred stock, par value $.001 per share.

Common Stock

The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors then up for election. The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining which are available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision has been made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the Common Stock. Holders of shares of our Common Stock, as such, have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the Common Stock. All of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

Preferred Stock and Warrants

For a more detailed description of our preferred stock and warrants, please see the discussion in Item 1.01 and 3.02 of this report. In addition to the 50,000,000 shares of common stock, we are authorized to issue up to 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Shares of our preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more classes or series, each of which class or series shall have such distinctive designation or title as shall be fixed by the board of directors prior to the issuance any shares thereof. Of the 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock that we are authorized to issue, 10,000,000 shares have been designated Series A Preferred Shares, and 5,000,000 remain blank check preferred stock whose designations or titles are to be fixed by the board of directors.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Florida Business Corporation Act provides that a person who is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of an action because of service as an officer or director of a corporation, such person is entitled to
indemnification of expenses actually and reasonably incurred in such defense. F.S. 607.0850(3).

Such act also provides that the corporation may indemnify an officer or director, advance expenses, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to a criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. F.S. 607.0850(1)(2).

A court may order indemnification of an officer or director if it determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to such indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances. F.S. 607.0850(9).

Our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws provide that we must indemnify our officers, directors, employees and agents to the fullest extent allowed by the Florida Business Corporation Act. Our by-laws provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses reasonably incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on our behalf. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us, which it may be unable to recoup.

Indemnification Against Public Policy

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers or person controlling us, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

In connection with the consummation of the Reverse Merger Transaction, on June 11, 2008 we consummated a Financing for the sale of Units for the aggregate gross proceeds of  $15,000,000, at a price of $2.5357 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Southern Sauce Preferred Shares, convertible into one share of Common Stock, and Warrant equal to 120% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares. The description of other material terms and conditions of the Financing are set forth below.

Securities Purchase Agreement

In connection with the Reverse Merger Transaction, on June 10, 2008 we entered into and on June 11, 2008 consummated a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Vision Opportunity China LP (“Vision”) (the “Purchaser”) for the sale of Units at an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000, each unit consisting of one Preferred Share and one Warrant with an exercise price of $3.52 per share, exercisable for a period of five years from the closing date.

On June 11, 2008, the aggregate purchase price paid for the Units was $15,000,000 (the “First Closing”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on or before June 30, 2008, we may sell in a second closing an additional number of Units for an aggregate price that is the difference between the gross proceeds from the First Closing and $20,000,000 (the “Second Closing”).

Each Preferred Share is convertible, at the option of the holder, into one share of our Common Stock, subject to certain limitations, conditions and anti-dilutive adjustments as described below. As such, the Preferred Shares are convertible into an aggregate of 5,915,526 shares of our Common Stock.

The Warrants are exercisable in the aggregate for up to 7,098,632 shares of our Common Stock, or 120% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares purchased by each Purchaser, subject to a 9.9% limitation on beneficial ownership of common stock.

Pursuant to the Mass Harmony Agreement dated as of September 16, 2007, Mass Harmony also received 1.5% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company after the Financing (including the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares) and 5% of the gross proceeds of the Financing in Warrants, equivalent to warrants exercisable in the aggregate of up to 213,068 shares of our Common Stock. The services provided by Mass Harmony under the Mass Harmony Agreement include performing initial due diligence on Shengkai, preparing Shengkai’s business plan, and assisting in the corporate restructuring and financial documentation.

Pursuant to First Amendment to the Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 23, 2008 (the “First Amendment to the Purchase Agreement”) we are required to list and trade our shares of Common Stock on Nasdaq or the American Stock Exchange within eighteen (18) months of the First Closing, or our principal stockholder, Li Shaoqing (the “Principal Stockholder”), will be required to deliver to the Purchasers on a pro rata basis an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

The Purchase Agreement also grants the following significant rights to the Purchasers and places the following significant restrictions and obligations on us:

 
·
Subsequent financing participation. For two years after the date on which the initial registration statement to be filed by the Company under the Registration Rights Agreement described below is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Purchasers who continue to hold Preferred Shares have the right to participate in any subsequent sale of securities by Southern Sauce in order to purchase up to its pro rata portion of the total amount of securities sold in the subsequent sale equal to the percentage of the total Preferred Shares issued in the Financing.
 
46

 
 
·
Consent for asset sale. We may not sell all or a substantial portion of our assets, except to a subsidiary, without the consent of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Preferred Shares.

 
·
Chief Financial Officer/Vice President of Investor Relations. As soon as possible after the First Closing, we are required to use our best efforts to appoint an individual who is fluent in English and acceptable to Vision to serve as Chief Financial Officer and/or Vice President of Investor Relations.

 
·
Investor relations fund. We must maintain an escrow account with $500,000 in connection with monies to be used for investor and public relations services. The escrow account was established through the Investor and Public Relations Escrow Agreement described below and was funded at the Closing. Out of this amount, $150,000 shall be released from escrow once we appoint a Chief Financial Officer or Vice President of Investor Relations. An additional $150,000 will be released to us after we engage a new independent registered accounting firm that is listed as one of the top 20 firms by stock market client number as calculated by Hemscott Group Limited, a division of Morningstar, Inc.

 
·
U.S. visitation. For as long as Vision holds at least 5% of the aggregate total number of shares of Common Stock and Shares (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of the Company on a fully-diluted basis, the Company must provide for its management to visit the United States at least twice each year to meet with potential investors.

Preferred Shares
 
The Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation as filed with the Florida Secretary of State on June 10, 2008, setting forth the designation of 10,000,000 Preferred Shares, provides for the following:
 
Conversion and anti-dilution:  Each Preferred Share is convertible into one share of our Common Stock at a conversion price of $2.5357 per share. For a period of two (2) years from the issuance of the Preferred Shares, the Purchasers have full ratchet anti-dilution protection, and until all Preferred Shares have been converted thereafter, the Purchasers have weighted-average anti-dilution protection. Based on these anti-dilution provisions, each outstanding Preferred Share held by a Purchaser will be convertible into more than one share of Common Stock if, during the covered periods, we issue or sell shares, other than as part of certain exempt issuances, by issuing stock to new investors for less than the purchase price per share paid by the Purchasers in the Financing. At no time may a holder of Preferred Shares convert those shares if as a result of the conversion, that holder would beneficially own more than 9.9% of our Common Stock outstanding at that time. A holder may, however, waive this provision by providing us with 61 days’ notice that such holder wishes to waive this restriction with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such holder’s Preferred Shares.
 
Voting: Holders of Preferred Shares have the following voting rights:
 
 
·
Holders of the Preferred Shares vote on an “as converted” basis, together with the Common Stock, as a single class, in connection with any proposal submitted to stockholders to: (i) increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock, (ii) approve the sale of any of our capital stock, (iii) adopt an employee stock option plan, or (iv) effect any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or related consolidation or combination transaction.
 
 
·
Holders of the Preferred Shares vote together as a separate class on all matters that impact the rights, value, or ranking of the Preferred Shares.

Liquidation Preference: Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to a preference of $2.5357 per share. The holders of Preferred Shares rank (a) senior to the Common Stock and to any other class or series of stock issued by us not designated as ranking senior to or pari passu with the Preferred Shares in respect of the right to participate in distributions or payments upon a liquidation event and (b) pari passu with any other class or series of our stock , the terms of which specifically provide that such class or series will rank pari passu with the Preferred Shares in respect of the right to participate in distributions or payments upon a liquidation event. 
 
47

 
Dividends: The Preferred Shares are not entitled to dividends unless we pay dividends, in cash or other property, to holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock. If we pay dividends, each outstanding Preferred Share will entitle its holder to receive dividends, out of available funds, equal to the amount of dividends payable on the number of shares of Common Stock into which each Preferred Share would be convertible as of the record date, if such Preferred Share had been converted to Common Stock.

Warrants

The Warrants (including those issued to Vision and to Mass Harmony) are exercisable, in the aggregate for up to 7,311,700 shares of our Common Stock, or 120% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares purchased by each Purchaser, for a term of 5 years after Closing.

At any time after 18 months following Closing, the Holders of warrants are entitled to exercising the Warrants on a cashless basis if we do not have an effective registration statement to cover the Common Stock underlying the Warrants. The number of Common Stock that each Holder shall be entitled to upon exercise of the Warrant on a cashless basis shall be computed using the following formula:
 
 
X = Y -
(A)(Y)
 
   
B
 
 
Where
X =
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.
     
 
Y =
the number of shares of Non-Registered Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of all or part of the Warrant.
     
 
A =
the Warrant Price.
     
 
B =
the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock.
 
In the event that:

 
·
we issue or sell or are deemed to have issued or sold any shares of our common stock other than certain excluded securities for a consideration that is less than the then current exercise price, then the current exercise price shall be adjusted to the lower exercise price;
 
 
 
·
we issue or sell any convertible securities (including options) that entitles any one to acquire shares of our common stock or common stock equivalents an effective price per share that is less than the then current exercise price (base share price), then the exercise price shall be reduced to equal such base shares price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants shall be increased such that the aggregate exercise price, after taking into account the decrease in the exercise price, shall be equal to the aggregate exercise price prior to such adjustment.

 
·
we: (A) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of our common stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of common stock, (B) subdivides outstanding shares of common stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issues by reclassification of shares of the common stock any shares of our capital stock, then in each case the exercise price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of common stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of common sock outstanding immediately after such event and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this warrant shall be proportionately adjusted.
 
48

 
Pursuant to the Warrants, no holder may exercise such holder’s Warrant if such exercise would result in the holder beneficially owning in excess of 9.9% of our then issued and outstanding common stock. A holder may, however, waive this provision by providing us with 61 days’ notice that such holder wishes to waive this restriction with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such holder’s Warrants.

Securities Escrow Agreement

On June 10, 2008 we entered into and on June 11, 2008 consummated a securities escrow agreement with Vision, as representative of the Purchasers under the Securities Purchase Agreement, Li Shaoqing, and Loeb & Loeb LLP, as escrow agent (the “Securities Escrow Agreement”). In the Securities Escrow Agreement, as an inducement to the Purchasers to enter into the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Principal Stockholders agreed to deliver an aggregate of 5,915,526 shares of our Common Stock (the amount of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Shares and Warrant Shares) (the “Escrow Shares”) to the escrow agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, and to forfeit some or all of those shares to the Purchasers in the event we fail to achieve certain financial performance thresholds for the 12-month periods ending June 30, 2008 (“2008”) and June 30, 2009 (“2009”).

The earnings threshold for 2008 will be satisfied if we achieve (i) net income greater than $8.8 million and cash from operations greater than $6.5 million, and (ii) net income earnings per share equal to or greater than $0.22 (on a fully diluted basis) and cash from operations earnings per share equal to or greater than $0.16 (on a fully diluted basis).

Earnings per share is calculated by (x) dividing the lesser of net income and cash from operations, as reported in the 2008 financial statements plus any amounts that may have been recorded as charges or liabilities on the 2008 financial statements due to the application of EITF No. 00-19 that are associated with (1) any outstanding warrants issued in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement or (2) any liabilities created as a result of the Escrow Shares being released to any officers or directors of Southern Sauce by (y) the aggregate number of shares of our then outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis which number includes, without limitation, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of our then outstanding Preferred Shares and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any then outstanding preferred stock, warrants or options of Southern Sauce.

The earnings threshold for 2009 will be satisfied if we achieve (i) net income greater than $13 million and cash from operations greater than $11 million, and (ii) net income earnings per share equal to or greater than $0.33 (on a fully diluted basis) and cash from operations earnings per share equal to or greater than $0.28 (on a fully diluted basis). In the event that the gross proceeds resulting from the sale of Units pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement is less than $20 million, on or about July 1, 2008, Southern Sauce, Vision and the Purchasers will amend such net income, cash from operations, net income earnings per share, and cash from operations earnings per share to reflect the agreement of the parties at such time.

If we achieve less than 50% of the 2008 performance threshold, then all of the Escrow Shares will be delivered to the Purchasers and distributed to them ratably according to the number of Preferred Shares that each of them holds at that time, and within five days of that delivery, the Principal Stockholders will be required to deliver another 5,915,526 shares of our Common Stock to the Escrow Agent (the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Shares) for the benefit of the Purchasers.

If we achieve at least 50%, but less than 95%, of the 2008 performance threshold, then the Escrow Agent will deliver to the Purchasers a percentage of the Escrow Shares determined by doubling the percentage by which the 2008 performance threshold was not achieved. In that case, within five days after the delivery, the Principal Stockholders will be required to deliver to the escrow agent the same number of shares of our Common Stock so that the total number of Escrow Shares is 5,915,526.
 
49

 
If we achieve 95% or more of the 2008 performance threshold, the Escrow Shares will continue to be held in escrow.

If we achieve less than 50% of the 2009 performance threshold, then all of the Escrow Shares will be delivered to the Purchasers and distributed to them ratably according to the number of Preferred Shares that each of them holds at that time.

If we achieve at least 50%, but less than 95%, of the 2009 performance threshold, then the Escrow Agent will deliver to the Purchasers a percentage of the Escrow Shares determined by doubling the percentage by which the 2009 Performance Threshold was not achieved. The remaining Escrow Shares will then be returned to the Principal Stockholders.

If we achieve at least 95% of the 2009 performance thresholds, all of the 2009 Escrow Shares will be returned to the Principal Stockholders.

Pursuant to the First Amendment to the Purchase Agreement and the Securities Escrow Agreement, if we fail to list our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq Global Market, American Stock Exchange or any successor market thereto within 18 months of the Closing, 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock owned by Principal Stockholders will be distributed to the Purchasers on a pro rata basis.

Investor and Public Relations Escrow Agreement
 
On June 10, 2008 we entered into and on June 11, 2008 consummated an Investor and Public Relations Agreement with Vision, as representative of the Purchasers under the Securities Purchase Agreement, and Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP, as escrow agent. Pursuant to the agreement, $500,000 of the proceeds of the Financing was deposited into an escrow account with Sichenzia Ross Friedman LLP for use in investor and public relations services. The escrow account was established through the Investor and Public Relations Escrow Agreement described below and was funded at the Closing. Out of this amount, $150,000 shall be released from escrow once we appoint a Chief Financial Officer or Vice President of Investor Relations. An additional $150,000 will be released to us after we engage a new independent registered accounting firm that is listed as one of the top 20 firms by stock market client number as calculated by Hemscott Group Limited, a division of Morningstar, Inc.

Registration Rights Agreement

On June 10, 2008 we entered into and on June 11, 2008 consummated a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers, under which we agreed to prepare and file with the SEC and maintain the effectiveness of a “resale” registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (“Rule 415”) providing for the resale of (i) all of the shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of the Preferred Shares, (ii) all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, (iii) 1,304,750 shares of Common Stock held by certain stockholders before the Reverse Merger Transaction, (iv) all of the Escrow Shares delivered to the Purchasers under the Securities Escrow Agreement described above, and (v) all of the 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock that the Principal Stockholders will be required to deliver to the Purchasers in case the Company does not meet the deadline for listing on a national securities exchange.
 
Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, we are required to have a registration statement filed with the SEC within 45 days after the earlier of the date of the Second Closing or June 30, 2008, and declared effective by the SEC not later than November 27, 2008.

We are required to pay liquidated damages to each Purchaser in an amount equal to one percent of the Purchaser’s initial acquisition of Preferred Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for each month past the relevant deadline that the registration statement is not filed or not declared effective, for any period that we fail to keep the registration statement effective, or for any period that we cause our Common Stock to be delisted from the OTC Bulletin Board, up to a maximum of ten percent of the purchase amount of the Units. The number of shares of Preferred Shares issuable pursuant to the liquidated damages provision is subject to reduction based on the maximum number of shares that can be registered under Rule 415.
 
50

 
In the event we are unable to register for resale under Rule 415 all of the registrable securities in the registration statement due to limits imposed by the SEC’s application of Rule 415, we will file a registration statement covering the resale of such lesser amount of registrable securities as we are able to register and use our reasonable best efforts to have that registration statement become effective as promptly as possible and, when permitted to do so by the SEC, we will file subsequent registration statement(s) covering the resale of any registrable securities that were omitted from previous registration statement and use our reasonable best efforts to have such registration declared effective as promptly as possible.

In addition to the foregoing registration rights, the Registration Rights Agreement grants holders of registrable securities customary piggy back rights during any time when there is not an effective registration statement providing for the resale of the registrable securities.

The terms of the Registration Rights Agreement are subject to the Shareholder RRA, which was consummated on June 11, 2008 in connection with the Reverse Merger Transaction. Under the terms of the Shareholder RRA, the Company granted registration rights to certain shareholders existing prior to the Reverse Merger Transaction, by which the shareholders were granted registration rights for the registration of an aggregate of 1,304,750 shares of Common Stock. The shareholders will be entitled to cash liquidated damages in the amount equal to .75% of the value of each shareholder’s registrable securities (using a value of $2.54 per share to calculate the amount of such shareholder’s registrable securities) on the date that it fails to register the securities under the terms of the agreement and for each calendar month or portion thereof until the failure is cured, up to a maximum amount of 10% of the value of the shareholder’s securities (using a value of $2.54 per share to calculate the amount of such shareholder’s registrable securities).

Lock-Up Agreement

On the Closing Date, we entered into an agreement with various shareholders of Long Sunny Limited and members of Shengkai’s management under which, in order to induce Southern Sauce and the Purchasers to enter into the Financing, each of the seven shareholders and managers listed below agreed that (i) they will not sell or transfer any shares of our Common Stock held as of the Closing Date until at least 12 months after the effective date of the initial registration statement to be filed under the Registration Rights Agreement described above, and (ii) for an additional 24 months after the end of that 12 month period, it will not sell or transfer more than one-twelfth of its total shares of that Common Stock during any one month.

The shareholders subject to the Lock-Up Agreement are:

 
·
Wang Chen, our CEO.

Guo Wei

Liu Xiaoqian

Aegis Engagement Agreement

On May 26, 2008, Shengkai finalized an engagement agreement with Aegis Capital Corp. (the “Aegis Agreement”) for the provision of placement agent and financial advisory services in contemplation of a reverse merger of the company or a company affiliated with the company with a publicly traded shell company (a “Shell”) and simultaneous $20 Million financing (the “Financing”). Pursuant to the Aegis Agreement, Shengkai shall pay Aegis Capital Corp. receive a cash placement fee equal to 1% of the gross proceeds invested in the Financing and Aegis Asia Capital Corp. a non-accountable allowance of 6% of the gross proceeds invested in the Financing.

Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On June 12, 2008, we dismissed Sherb & Co., LLP (“Sherb”), as our independent registered public accounting firm. The reports of Sherb on our financial statements for each of the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except as that the reports of Sherb for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 indicated conditions which raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The decision to change independent accountants was approved by our Board of Directors on June 9, 2008.
 
During our two most recent fiscal years and through the date of this report, we have had no disagreements with Sherb on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Sherb, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in its report on our financial statements for such periods.
 
During our two most recent fiscal years and through the date of this report on Form 8-K, there have been no reportable events as defined under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K adopted by the SEC.
 
We provided Sherb with a copy of this disclosure before its filing with the SEC. We requested that Sherb provide us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements, and we received a letter from Sherb stating that it agrees with the above statements.

New Independent Accountants
 
Our Board of Directors appointed Albert Wong & Co., CPA as our new independent registered public accounting firm effective as of June 12, 2008. During the two most recent fiscal years and through the date of our engagement, we did not consult with Albert Wong & Co., CPA regarding either (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, or (2) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)), during the two most recent fiscal years.

Prior to engaging Albert Wong & Co., CPA Albert Wong & Co. CPA did not provide our company with either written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by our company in reaching a decision to change our independent registered public accounting firm from Sherb to Albert Wong & Co. CPA

 Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant.

As more fully described in Items 1.01 and 2.01 above, on June 9, 2008, we consummated the Reverse Merger Transaction with the Shen Kun Shareholders (Long Sunny Limited, Groom Profit Holdings Limited, Right Idea Holdings Limited, Chen Fang, Miao Yang and Zhang Ying), through which the shareholders of Shen Kun delivered to us all the issued and outstanding shares of stock of Shen Kun. As merger consideration for the Shen Kun shares, we delivered to them 20,550,000 shares of our newly-issued common stock. Long Sunny Limited became a holder of 17,400,000 shares of our common stock, Groom Profit and Right Idea each became a holder of 1,350,000 shares of our comment stock, and Chen Fang, Miao Yang and Zhang Ying became a holder of 30,000, 135,000 and 135,000 shares of our common stock, respectively.

Prior to Closing of the Reverse Merger Transaction, we were authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 1,562,500 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding, and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which none was issued and outstanding.

As a result of these transactions, Long Sunny Limited became our majority shareholder. Mr. Li Shaoqing, is the controlling stockholder of Long Sunny (BVI).
 
52

 
Under a call option agreement executed on June 9, 2008, Mr. Wang has an option to purchase all of the stock of Long Sunny Limited from Li Shaoqing over a period of approximately six months. Under the agreement, Mr. Li Shaoqing irrevocably granted to Mr. Wang an option to purchase all of Mr. Li’s shares of Long Sunny Limited, at an exercise price of $.01 or $.001 per share, in seven installments over the course of approximately seven months, provided that Shengkai, SK Ceramic Valves and Shen Kun generate a gross revenue of at least RMB 1,500,000 per month during the period commencing June 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008 (each monthly period constituting a “Performance Period and collectively, the “Performance Periods”).

If the companies meet these performance targets, Mr. Wang may exercise his call option to purchase one-seventh of the shares held by Mr. Li in Long Sunny Limited beginning 45 days after the last date of the target period. If and when Mr. Wang does acquire all of the stock of Long Sunny Limited, he will become the beneficial owner of 100% of the common stock of the Company owned by Long Sunny Limited.

In connection with this change in control, and as explained more fully in Item 2.01 above under the section titled “Management” and in Item 5.02 below, effective on June 9, 2008, John Vogel resigned as our Chief Executive Officer. Concurrently, Wang Chen was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer and director. Additionally, upon the effectiveness of the Schedule 14f-1 Information Statement, which shall occur 10 days following the delivery and/or mailing of the Schedule 14f-1 to our stockholders in compliance with the provisions of Section 14(f) of the Act, and Rule 14(f)-1 thereunder, the resignation of Mr. Vogel as a director of our Board, and the appointment of Ms. Guo as a new member of our Board, will also become effective. The Schedule 14f-1 Information Statement was filed and mailed to our stockholders on or about June 10, 2008.

Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors, Appointment of Directors

Please refer to Item 2.01 - “Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets “- “Our Directors and Executive Officers” and Item 5.01 - “Changes in Control of Registrant” above, which description is in its entirety incorporated by reference to this Item 5.02 of this report.

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On June 9, 2008, concurrent with the reverse merger of Shen Kun into Southern Sauce, we adopted the fiscal year end of Shengkai, thereby changing our fiscal year end from December 31 to June 30. The audited financial statements for the new fiscal year will be reflected in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ending June 30, 2008.
 
On June 10, 2008, we filed Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation setting forth certain designation (as more fully described in Item 3.02 above) for our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

Item 5.06 Change in Shell Company Status

As explained more fully in Item 2.01 above, we were a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) immediately before the Closing of the Exchange. As a result of the Exchange, Shengkai became our wholly owned subsidiary and main operating business. Consequently, upon the Closing of the Exchange we ceased to be a shell company. For information about the Exchange, please see the information set forth above under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K above, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01.  Other Events
 
On June 12, 2008, we issued the press release annexed hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The Pro Forma Financial Information concerning the acquisition of the business operations of Shengkai appears below.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements of Southern Sauce Company, Inc. (“Southern Sauce”) in the opinion of management include all material adjustments directly attributable to the reverse merger transaction contemplated by a merger agreement among Shen Kun International Limited (“Shen Kun”) and the stockholders of 100% of Shen Kun’s common stock (the “Shen Kun Shareholders”), on the one hand, and Southern Sauce, its wholly-owned subsidiary Acquisition Sub, and the holders of a majority of Southern Sauce’s issued and outstanding common stock (“Majority Shareholders”), on the other hand, dated June 9, 2008, in which through the wholly-owned subsidiary Acquisition Sub, Southern Sauce issued 20,550,000 shares of common stock to the Shen Kun Shareholders as merger consideration for 100% of the ordinary shares of Shen Kun. As a result of the reverse merger transaction, Shen Kun became the wholly-owned subsidiary of Southern Sauce, and Shengkai (Tianjin) Ceramic Valves Co., Ltd., (“SK Ceramic Valves”), became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Southern Sauce.

Following the reverse merger transaction, on June 11, 2008, Southern Sauce consummated a private financing transaction, in which Southern Sauce issued an aggregate of 5,915,526 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 7,098,632 shares of its common stock in exchange for $15,000,000 in gross cash proceeds. In connection with the financing, Southern Sauce issued Warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 213,068 shares of its common stock as consideration for consulting services pursuant to the Mass Harmony Agreement described in further detail above.

In connection with the reverse merger transaction, on May 30, 2008, SK Ceramic Valves entered into a series of contractual arrangements with Tianjin Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Co., Ltd., (Shengkai), which give SK Ceramic Valves control over Shengkai’s business, personnel and finances as if it was a wholly owned subsidiary of SK Ceramic Valves.

The statements of operations were prepared as if the above mentioned reverse merger transaction and financing of Shengkai by Southern Sauce was consummated on July 1, 2006 and the balance sheet was prepared as if it was consummated on March 31, 2008. These pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations which actually would have resulted had the transaction occurred on the dates indicated and are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in the future.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

We have reviewed the accompanying interim balance sheets of Tianjin Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Co., Ltd. as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine-months periods then ended, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of Tianjin Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Co., Ltd.

A review consists principally of inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

(c) Economic and political risks

The Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
 
The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(d) Restricted cash

Restricted cash represents deposits on account to secure sales contracts.

(e) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:

Buildings
20 – 40 years
Machinery and equipment
5 – 20 years
Office equipment
3 – 10 years
Motor vehicles
10 years

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

(f) Intangible assets

Intangible assets represent land use rights, patent rights and others in the PRC. Land use rights are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of rights of 50 years commencing from the date of acquisition of equitable interest. Patent rights are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of rights of 10 years commencing from the date of acquisition of equitable interest. Others are software costs.

(g) Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets

The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets.

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. During the reporting years, there was no impairment loss.

(h) Inventories

Inventories comprise merchandise purchased for resale and are stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of merchandise, representing the purchase cost, is calculated on the weighted average basis. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any applicable selling expenses.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(n) Income tax

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach and allows for recognition of deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.

The Company is operating in the PRC, and in accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of PRC, the enterprise income tax rate was 33% and is changed to 25% since January 1, 2008.

(o) Foreign currency translation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB). The financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.
 
The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into USD for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:

   
March 31, 2008
 
June 30, 2007
 
March 31, 2007

The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rates used in translation.
 
(p) Cash and concentration of risk

Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in bank accounts maintained within PRC. Total cash in the banks at March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2007 amounted to $3,983,194 and $1,691,476 respectively.

(q) Statutory reserves

Statutory reserves are referred to the amount appropriated from the net income in accordance with laws or regulations, which can be used to recover losses and increase capital, as approved, and are to be used to expand production or operations.

(r) Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company’s current component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.

(s) Recent accounting pronouncements
 
In February 2007, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. (“SFAS”) 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 a few exceptions. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The requirements of SFAS 159 are effective for our fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2008.
The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on these consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“SAB 110”). SAB 110 permits companies to continue to use the simplified method, under certain circumstances, in estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” options beyond December 31, 2007. SAB 110 updates guidance provided in SAB 107 that previously stated that the Staff would not expect a company to use the simplified method for share option grants after December 31, 2007. Adoption of SAB 110 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“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. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 160 on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.

(s)  Recent accounting pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), "Business Combinations”. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, an any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 141(R) on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.

TIANJIN SHENGKAI INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND 2006
(Stated in US Dollars)

1.
ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Tianjin Shengkai Industrial Technology Development Co., Ltd (the Company) was established in Tianjin of the People’s Republic of China (the PRC) as a limited company on June 7, 1994.

The Company is engaged in the manufacturing and selling of ceramic valve.

2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)
Method of Accounting

The Company maintains its general ledger and journals with the accrual method accounting for financial reporting purposes. The financial statements and notes are representations of management. Accounting policies adopted by the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the presentation of financial statements.

(b)
Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

(c)
Economic and political risks

The Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
 
The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(d)
Restricted cash

Restricted cash represents deposits on account to secure sales contracts.

(e)
Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:

Buildings
20 – 40 years
Machinery and equipment
5 – 20 years
Office equipment
3 – 10 years
Motor vehicles
10 years
 
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

(f)
Intangible assets

Intangible assets represent land use rights, patent rights and others in the PRC. Land use rights are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of rights of 50 years commencing from the date of acquisition of equitable interest. Patent rights are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of rights of 10 years commencing from the date of acquisition of equitable interest. Others are software costs.

(g)
Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets

The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets.

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. During the reporting years, there was no impairment loss.

(h)
Inventories

Inventories comprise merchandise purchased for resale and are stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of merchandise, representing the purchase cost, is calculated on the weighted average basis. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any applicable selling expenses.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(n)
Income tax

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach and allows for recognition of deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.

The Company is operating in the PRC, and in accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of PRC, the enterprise income tax rate is 33%.

(o)
Foreign currency translation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB). The financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rates used in translation.

(p)
Cash and concentration of risk

Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in bank accounts maintained within PRC. Total cash in the banks at June 30, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $1,691,476 and $1,292,869 respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.

(q)
Statutory reserves

Statutory reserves are referred to the amount appropriated from the net income in accordance with laws or regulations, which can be used to recover losses and increase capital, as approved, and are to be used to expand production or operations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(r)
Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company’s current component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.

(s)
Recent accounting pronouncements
 
In September 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, where fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The standard does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

In September 2007, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, which provides guidance on the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. In SAB No. 108, the SEC staff establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statement errors, under both the iron-curtain and the roll-over methods, based on the effects of the error on each of the Company’s financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. SAB No.108 is generally effective for annual financial statements in the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2007. The transition provisions of SAB No. 108 permits existing public companies to record the cumulative effect in the first year ending after November 15, 2007 by recording correcting adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year with the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings.

In February 2007, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. (“SFAS”) 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 a few exceptions. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The requirements of SFAS 159 are effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2008.

The management of the Company does not anticipate that the adoption of these three standards will have a material impact on these financial statements.
