CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not historical facts. Because they discuss future events or conditions, forward-looking statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “may,” “seek,” “plan,” “might,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “project,” “forecast,” “potential,” “continue” negatives thereof or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, are based on various underlying assumptions and current expectations about the future and are not guarantees. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievement to be materially different from the results of operations or plans expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
We cannot predict all of the risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, such information should not be regarded as representations that the results or conditions described in such statements or that our objectives and plans will be achieved and we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are found at various places throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and include information concerning possible or assumed future results of our operations, including statements about potential acquisition or merger targets; business strategies; future cash flows; financing plans; plans and objectives of management; any other statements regarding future acquisitions, future cash needs, future operations, business plans and future financial results, and any other statements that are not historical facts.
These forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Many of those factors are outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning other matters addressed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, a change in events, conditions, circumstances or assumptions underlying such statements, or otherwise.

Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
|
China Growth Corporation. (“the Company” or "China Growth") was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on December 7, 2006. The Company was originally organized as a “blank check” shell company to investigate and acquire a target company or business desiring to be a publicly held corporation. Wealth Environmental Protection Group, Inc. ("WEP") was incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on June 3, 2010 to serve as an investment holding company. On December 15, 2010, the Company (i) closed a share exchange transaction pursuant to which it became the 100% parent of WEP, and (ii) assumed the operations of WEP and its subsidiaries.
The share exchange transaction has been treated as a recapitalization of WEP, with China Growth emerging as the surviving legal entity and WEP treated as the acquirer from a financial reporting standpoint. Prior to the recapitalization, the China Growth had essentially no assets or liabilities and issued approximately 96% of its outstanding shares to the shareholders of WEP and their designees in the recapitalization. The accompanying consolidated financial have been restated on a retroactive basis to present the capital structure of WEP as though it were the reporting entity. A summary of the Company subsidiaries is currently as follows:

Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation, continued
|
On September 29, 2010, Jiangmen Huiyuan entered into a series of contractual agreements with Jiangmen Wealth Water, and its shareholders, in which Jiangmen Huiyuan effectively assumed management of the business activities of Jiangmen Wealth Water and has the right to appoint all executives and senior management and the members of the board of directors of Jiangmen Wealth Water. The contractual arrangements are comprised of a series of agreements, including an Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement, Exclusive Option Agreement, Equity Interest Pledge Agreement and Power of Attorney, through which Jiangmen Huiyuan has the right to provide exclusive complete business support and technical and consulting service to Jiangmen Wealth Water for an annual fee in the amount of Jiangmen Wealth Water’s yearly net profits after tax. Additionally, Jiangmen Wealth Water’s shareholders have pledged their rights, titles and equity interest in Jiangmen Wealth Water as security for Jiangmen Huiyuan to collect consulting and services fees provided to Jiangmen Wealth Water through an Equity Pledge Agreement. In order to further reinforce Jiangmen Huiyuan’s rights to control and operate Jiangmen Wealth Water, the shareholders of Jiangmen Wealth Water have granted Jiangmen Huiyuan the exclusive right and option to acquire all of their equity interests in Jiangmen Wealth Water through an Exclusive Option Agreement.
Jiangmen Wealth Water owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Guizhou Yufeng, and Shanxi Wealth. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, Mr. Tan and his spouse, Ms. Hong Yu Du (“Ms. Du”) directly or through an affiliated company, had controlling equity interests in Jiangmen Wealth Water, Guizhou Yufeng and Shanixi Wealth. In August and September 2010, through a restructuring process, Jiangmen Wealth Water paid $74,705 and $463,160 to acquire 100% equity interest of Guizhou Yufeng and 62% equity interest of Shainxi Wealth, respectively. On December 27, 2010 the Company acquired the remaining 38% equity interest of Shainxi Wealth owned by Mr. Tan through declared a dividend payable of $290,072 to Mr. Tan on Jan 3, 2011. Mr. Tan and Ms. Du collectively owned 100% of Jiangmen Wealth Water and its subsidiaries after this restructuring.
Based on Jiangmen Huiyuan’s contractual relationship with Jiangmen Wealth, the Company has determined that a variable interest entity has been created and therefore Jiangmen Wealth is considered a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. Additionally, because all of the companies are currently under common control, the series of agreements and restructurings referred to above has been accounted for as a reorganization of the entities and the financial statements have been prepared as if the reorganization had occurred retroactively. Accordingly these financial statements present the consolidated operating results, assets and liabilities of Wealth and its subsidiaries, which are collectively referred to as the "Company"..
The Company produces and sells water purifying agents and high-performance aluminate calcium (HAC) powder, the core ingredient of its water purifying agents in China

|
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
The Consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP").
Consolidated Financial Statements
These financial statements present the consolidated accounts of Wealth and its subsidiaries, Wealth Technology, Jiangmen Huiyan, Jiangmen Wealth Water, Guizhou Yunfeng and Shanxi Wealth, which are collectively referred to as the "Company". This presentation is based upon the retroactive treatment of series of agreements and restructurings of companies under common control as described in Note 1.
All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in preparation of the Consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of Consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses in the Consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company's Consolidated financial statements include collectibility of accounts receivable, useful lives and impairment of property and equipment, mineral reserves available for mining production, total expected use of mineral reserves and value and realizability of intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Codification
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162" ("SFAS No. 168"). The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM, ("Codification" or "ASC") became the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. On the effective date of SFAS No. 168, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification became non-authoritative.
Following SFAS No. 168, the FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, FASB Interpretations, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs"). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right; rather, these updates will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. SFAS No. 168 is incorporated in ASC Topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company adopted SFAS No. 168 for the year ended December 31, 2009, and the Company will provide reference in its financial statements to both the Codification topic reference and the previously authoritative references related to Codification topics and subtopics, as appropriate.
Segments
For the periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the operations of the Company's operations have been broken down into segment based on production facility, in the manner that management reviews operations on a regular basis. All our operations revolve around the production of water purification agents made to similar specifications. All of the Company's segments have similar assets, customers and distribution methods, and their economic characteristics are similar with regard to their gross margin percentages.
Currency Reporting
The Company's operations in the PRC use the local currency, Renminbi ("RMB"), as their functional currency, whereas amounts reported in the accompanying condensed combined/consolidated financial statements and disclosures are stated in U.S. dollars, the reporting currency of the Company, unless stated otherwise. As such, the condensed combined/consolidated balance sheets of the Company have been translated into U.S. dollars at the current rates as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and the condensed consolidated statements of income have been translated into U.S. dollars at the weighted average rates during the periods the transactions were recognized.
The resulting translation gain adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and as a separate component of equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue Recognition
The Company’s main source of revenue is generated from sales of water purifying agents and high-performance calcium aluminates powder. The Company recognizes revenue when there is persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement, delivery and acceptance by the customer has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable. Under the Company's typical sales terms for both water purifying agents and HAC the Company recognizes revenue when product is shipped from it's production facilities because shipments are made FOB shipping point with the customer bearing all shipping costs and title and risk of loss transferring to the customer upon shipment. Sales terms for water purifying agents and HAC do not include customer acceptance provisions, the right of return (unless the product is proven to be defective) or other post-delivery obligations. The Company has not experienced any significant returns associated with defective product.
Value added taxes represent amounts collected on behalf of specific government agencies that require remittance of tax by specified dates. Value added taxes are collected at the time of sales and are detailed on invoices provided to customers. The Company accounts for value added taxes on a net basis. The Company recorded and paid sales related taxes based on a percentage of the value added taxes and reported the revenue net of the sales related taxes.
Major Customers
During the periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, there was no customer accounted for 10% or more of our net revenue.
Major Suppliers
During the periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, certain suppliers accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total net purchases as follows:

Value-Added Tax (“VAT”)
Enterprises or individuals, who sell commodities, engage in repair and maintenance or import or export goods in the PRC are subject to a value-added tax in accordance with the PRC laws. The value-added tax standard rate for sales made by the Company is 17% of the gross sales price and the Company records its revenue net of VAT. A credit is available whereby VAT paid on the purchases of semi-finished products or raw materials used in the production of the Company’s finished products can be used to offset the VAT due on the sales of the finished products. When the Company acquires raw materials the VAT incurred by the Company, and subject to credit, generally varies from 6% to 17% depending on the type of materials or services purchased. There is a significant difference in the VAT that the Company incurs on purchases and the amount the Company bills to customers for sales of HAC and water purifying agents due to the fact that the Company converts raw materials from their mined state to finished product and is responsible for the substantial portion of increased value in its products.

VAT is not included in revenue or cost of goods sold, but is recorded in accounts receivable and recognized as a net liability for unremitted amounts on the balance sheet. The amount of VAT collected on sales differs from the 17% expected amount due to intercompany sales for which VAT is reported. VAT included in accounts receivable was approximately $258,541 and $221,862 for the period ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-6, Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements, that amends existing disclosure requirements under ASC 820 by adding required disclosures about items transferring into and out of levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy; adding separate disclosures about purchase, sales, issuances, and settlements relative to level 3 measurements; and clarifying, among other things, the existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation. This ASU is effective for the first quarter of 2010, except for the requirement to provide level 3 activities of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which is effective beginning the first quarter of 2011. Since this standard impacts disclosure requirements only, its adoption will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

(6) Income Taxes
The Company has not recorded a provision for U.S. federal income tax for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 because substantially all of the Company's operations are conducted in the PRC.
On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China approved the new Corporate Income Tax Law of the PRC (New CIT Law), which is effective from January 1, 2008. Under the New CIT Law, the statutory corporate income tax rate applicable to most companies, including the Company is 25%. In accordance with the New CIT Law, enterprises established under the laws of foreign countries or regions and whose “place of effective management” is located within the PRC territory are considered PRC resident enterprises and subject to the PRC income tax at the rate of 25% on worldwide income. The definition of “place of effective management" refers to an establishment that exercises, in substance, overall management and control over the production and business, personnel, accounting, properties, etc. of an enterprise. As of March 31, 2011, no detailed interpretation or guidance has been issued to define “place of effective management”. Furthermore, as of March 31, 2011, the administrative practice associated with interpreting and applying the concept of “place of effective management” is unclear. However, the Company has analyzed the applicability of this law, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the Company has accrued and paid PRC tax on such basis. The Company will continue to monitor changes in the interpretation or guidance of this law.
The New CIT Law also imposes a 10% withholding income tax, subject to reduction based on tax treaty where applicable, for dividends distributed by a foreign invested enterprise to its immediate holding company outside China. Such dividends were exempted from PRC tax under the previous income tax law and regulations.
The tax authority of the PRC Government conducts periodic and ad hoc tax filing reviews on business enterprises operating in the PRC after those enterprises had completed their relevant tax filings, hence the Company’s tax filings may not be finalized. It is therefore uncertain as to whether the PRC tax authority may take different views about the Company’s tax filings which may lead to additional tax liabilities.
The Company conducts substantially all of its business in PRC and it is subject to PRC income taxes at a 25% standard tax rate in 2011 and 2010. Following is a reconciliation of the Company’s income tax provision of $1,677,078and $837,279, for the periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, to the expected US statutory rate of 34%:

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with applicable accounting standards, which prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These accounting standards also provide guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
Based on the Company’s evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements.

General Reserve Fund
In accordance with the PRC Regulations on Enterprises with Foreign Investment, an enterprise established in the PRC with foreign investment is required to provide for certain statutory reserves, namely (i) General Reserve Fund, (ii) Enterprise Expansion Fund and (iii) Staff Welfare and Bonus Fund, which are appropriated from net profit as reported in the enterprise’s PRC statutory accounts. A WOFE is required to allocate at least 10% of its annual after-tax profit to the General Reserve Fund until the balance of such fund has reached 50% of its respective registered capital. A non- wholly-owned foreign invested enterprise is permitted to provide for the above allocation at the discretion of its board of directors. Appropriations to the Enterprise Expansion Fund and Staff Welfare and Bonus Fund are at the discretion of the board of directors for all foreign invested enterprises. The aforementioned reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not distributable as cash dividends. As a result, $496,396 has been appropriated to the accumulated statutory reserves (included in the retained earnings) by the Company as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and the balance represents a fully funded General Reserve Fund:
Following is an analysis of the general fund by subsidiary at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
The following discussion provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results, expectations and plans discussed in these forward-looking statements.
Company Overview
We are a leading producer and distributer of water purifying agent and High-performance Aluminate Calcium (HAC) powder, the core component of water purifying agent. We manufactured and distributed approximately 180,000 and 235,000 tons water purifying agent and 178,000 and 227,000 tons of high calcium aluminates powder for the past two years. Our products are distributed in the southern, south-western, mid-eastern, and eastern part of China. We supply water purifying products for industries such as printing and dyeing, paper making, municipal wastewater, phosphorus removal, and oil removal from washing water.
Our products are manufactured and distributed by our operating companies. Jiangmen Wealth Water, our operating company, is engaged in the production and sale of water purifying agents. Water purifying agent’s raw material is HAC powder, which is exclusively supplied by Guizhou Yufeng, a wholly owned subsidiary of Jiangmen Wealth Water. Although Guizhou Yufeng sells HAC powder to third party customers, it prioritizes the supply to Jiangmen Wealth Water over third party customers and ensures that its supply meets the demand of Jiangmen Wealth Water before products being sold to other customers. Shanxi Wealth also manufactures HAC powder and distributes all of its products to third party customers. HAC powder’s raw materials are aluminates ore and limestone from, respective obtained from their self-owned mines.
Results of Operations
The following table shows key components of our results of operations during the three months ended Marche 31, 2011 and 2010, in both dollars and as a percentage of our total sales.

Revenue:
Revenue increased by $7,882,459 or 88.78%, from $8,878,511 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $16,760,970 in the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in revenue for the first quarter was primarily due to the increase in strong demands combined with the increase in prices of our products. We believe the addition of one new sales agent in the first quarter of 2011, which has led to an engagement of a new customer, has also contributed to the increase in the revenue.
Our revenue from sales of water purifying agents for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $8,395,018 and for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $4,624,103, representing an increase of $3,770,915 or approximately 81.55%. This increase for the three months in our revenue from sales of water purifying agents primarily represents (i) increase of sales of water purifying agents from approximately 17,893 tons in 2010 to 33,811 tons in 2011; and (ii) direct sales from 24,212 tons in 2010 to 34,491 tons in 2011.
Our revenue from sales of HAC powder for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $8,365,952 and for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $4,254,408, representing an increase of $4,111,544 or approximately 96.64%. This increase primarily represents (i) increase of sales from approximately 31,288 tons in 2010 to 47,010 tons in 2011, and (ii) direct sales from 11,400 tons in 2010 to 18,678 tons in 2011.
Cost of Goods Sold:
Cost of goods sold increased by $3,842,303, or 82,31%, from $4,667,887 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $8,510,190 in the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in the cost of goods sold was mainly due to the increase in sales of our products.
Cost of goods sold from sales of water purifying agents for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $3,094,403 an increase of $1,314,252, or 73.83%, from $1,780,151 for the same period in 2010. As a percentage of total net sales, cost of goods sold from sales of water purifying agents 36.86% and 38.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase of cost of goods sold from sales of water purifying agents was primarily attributable to the increase of our revenue from sales of water purifying agents.
Cost of goods sold from sales of HAC powder for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $5,415,787 increase of $2,528,051 or 87.54%, from $2,887,736 for the same period in 2010. As a percentage of total net sales, cost of goods sold from sales of HAC powder approximated 64.74% and 67.88% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase of cost of goods sold from sales of water purifying agents was primarily attributable to the increase of our revenue from sales of HAC powder.
Gross profit and Gross Profit Margin:
Our gross profit increased by $4,040,156 or 95.95%, from $4,210,624 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $8,250,780 in the three months ended March 31, 2011. Our gross profit margin (gross profit divided by sales revenue) increased from 47.42% in 2010 to 49.23% in 2011. The increase of gross margin was attributable to the price rise of our products and remaining the lower increase of our cost of goods sold caused by our competitiveness and improvement of management.
Selling and Marketing Expenses:
Our selling and marketing expenses were $507,409 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $309,155 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, representing an increase of $198,254 or 64.13%. The substantial increase in our selling and marketing expenses in 2011 was primarily attributable to increase in our marketing activities and contracting fees.
General and Administrative Expenses:
Our general and administrative expenses were $1,046,598 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $563,910 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, representing an increase of $482,688 or 85.60%. The increase in our general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the increase of professional expense relative to being a public reporting company in United States. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase as a result of professional fees incurred as a result of being a public reporting company in the United States.
Other income (Expense):
Our other expenses were $(108,692) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $11,560 income for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in our other expense was primarily attributable to the increase of R&D expense of $136,969 relative to develop new products. We expect to continue to increase our research and development efforts to enhance our competitiveness.
Net Income:
Net income was $4,911,004 in the three months ended March 31, 2011 with an increase of $2,399,164 or 95.51% compared to $2,511,840 reported in the three months ended March 31, 2010. The reason that our net income increased quickly is primarily due to the strong demand of our products and our marketing efforts
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had an unrestricted cash balance of approximately $41.3 millions as of March 31, 2011, as compared to $33.9 millions as of December 31, 2010. In addition, we also had approximately $1.6 millions in restricted cash as of March 31, 2010, as compared to $2.3 million as of December 31, 2010. Our restricted cash is held by AAI as a security deposit for hiring a qualified CFO and IR firm and holding shareholders meeting. The restricted fund will be released when we meet the requirement above. Our funds are kept in financial institutions located in China, and banks and other financial institutions in the PRC do not provide insurance for funds held on deposit, and in the event of a bank failure, we may not have access to our funds on deposit. In addition, we are subject to the regulations of the PRC, which restrict the transfer of cash from China, except under certain specific circumstances. Accordingly, such funds may not be readily available to us to satisfy obligations that have been incurred outside the PRC.
We had working capital of approximately $39.2 millions and $34.0 millions as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The increase of working capital was primarily due to the increase in cash caused by our business growth.
Our accounts receivable has been a small portion of our current assets, representing $1.8 million and $0.7 million, or 3.9% and 1.7% of current assets, as of March 31, and December 31, 2010, respectively. If customers responsible for a significant amount of accounts receivable were to become insolvent or otherwise unable to pay for our products, or to make payments in a timely manner, our liquidity and results of operations could be adversely affected. An economic or industry downturn could materially adversely affect the servicing of these accounts receivable, which could result in longer payment cycles, increased collections costs and defaults in excess of management’s expectations. A significant deterioration in our ability to collect on accounts receivable could affect our cash flow and working capital position and could also impact the cost or availability of financing available to us.
We provide our major customers with payment terms ranging from 30 to 90 days. Additionally, our production lead time is approximately three weeks, from the inspection of incoming materials, to production, testing and packaging. We need to keep a large supply of raw materials and finished goods inventory on hand to ensure timely delivery of our products to our customers. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment of the aging of accounts receivable, the collectability of specific customer accounts, our history of bad debts, and the general condition of the industry.
Our aging of accounts receivables could result in our inability to collect receivables requiring us to increase our doubtful accounts reserve, which would decrease our net income and working capital. We experienced no bad debt expense during the year ended March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2011, we believed it was appropriate not to recognize bad debt expense primarily due to the subsequent collections made on our receivable balance and our historical ability to collect our accounts receivable. Bad debt expense was $0 for the year ended March 31, and December 31, 2010.
As of March 31, 2010, inventories amounted to $1.2 million, compared to $0.7 million as of December 31, 2010. We have experienced increased sales volume annually; however, our supplier is steady and we own the mines providing raw materials. We do not need to maintain large amounts of raw materials. We might expect to experience increase in our inventory levels in future, including both of raw material and finished goods to meet the market demands.
On December 15, 2010, the Company obtained financing of $6,672,031 in a private placement. We used the proceeds from the private placement to provide working capital, production capacity expansion, technology and product research and development, and basic research and application product development..
We are required to contribute a portion of our employees’ total salaries to the Chinese government’s social insurance funds, including pension insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, and job injuries insurance, and maternity insurance, in accordance with relevant regulations. Total contributions to the funds are approximately $45,674, and $343,192 for the period ended March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. We expect that the amount of our contribution to the government’s social insurance funds will increase in the future as we expand our workforce and operations and commence contributions to an employee housing fund.
According to the relevant PRC regulations on housing provident funds, PRC enterprises are required to contribute housing provident funds for their employees. The monthly contributions for Jiangmen City must be at least 5% of each employee’s average monthly income in the previous year. The Company has accrued such funds for its employees since its establishment and the accumulated unpaid amount is approximately $300,000. Any change with the regulation will impact the Company’s operating results.
The ability of the Company to pay dividends may be restricted due to the foreign exchange control policies and availability of cash balance of the Chinese operating subsidiaries. A majority of our revenue being earned and currency received are denominated in RMB, which is subject to the exchange control regulation in China, and, as a result, we may unable to distribute any dividends outside of China due to PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert RMB into US Dollars. Accordingly, the Company’s funds may not be readily available to us to satisfy obligations which have been incurred outside the PRC, which could adversely affect our business and prospects or our ability to meet our cash obligations.
Future Capital Expenditure
In future years, as we accelerate expansion, we expect continued capital expenditure for adding manufacturing equipment, expanding workshops and harbors, and modernizing existing equipment. We believe that such expansion will have a material impact on liquidity, capital resources and/or results of operation. However, we believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and cash flows from operations and proceeds from the completed financing in December 2010 will be sufficient to meet our presently anticipated future cash needs to bring all of our facilities into full production. We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue.
It is management's intention to expand our operations as quickly as reasonably practicable to capitalize on the demand opportunity for our products. We regularly review our cash funding requirements and attempt to meet those requirements through a combination of cash on hand, cash provided by operations and available borrowings under bank lines of credit. We believe that we can continue meeting our cash funding requirements for our business in this manner over the next twelve months.
We do not have a present plan with respect to steps to expand our production or a reasonable estimate of the capital expenditures associated with the expansion.
Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.5 millions for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to net cash provided in operating activities of $2.8 millions for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in net cash provided in operating activities was primarily due to an increase in our sales, accounts payable and other payable. Our increase in net cash provided in operating activities for the year ended March 31, 2011 was partially offset by an increase in cash used in inventory and accounts receivable.
Investing activity during the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 included the purchasing of equipment and releasing of restricted cash, which resulted in net cash provided in investing activities of $628,039 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $478 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in net cash provided in investing activities was primarily due to the release of restricted cash hold by AAI.
We had no financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
Based upon our present plans, we believe that cash on hand and cash flow from will be sufficient to fund our current capital needs. We expect that our primary sources of funding for our operations for this year will result from cash flow from operations to fund our operations during this year. However, our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity depends partially on our ability to achieve anticipated levels of revenue, while continuing to control costs. If we did not have sufficient available cash, we would have to seek additional debt or equity financing through other external sources, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to maintain financing arrangements on acceptable terms would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Reconciliation of the Effect of Exchange Rates on Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our cash accounts are denominated in RMB and the absolute amount of RMB that we hold is unaffected by the change in the exchange rate of the RMB, our functional currency, as compared to the US Dollar, our reporting currency. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash represents changes in the value of our cash accounts because the USD to RMB exchange rate has changed during the reporting period. When the USD declines in value versus the RMB, the translation of our financial statements at year end exchange rates yields an increase in the reported amount of cash in USD, and such increase is not attributable to our operations, investing activities or financing activities. This following table sets forth such increase in the reported amount of cash in USD for the period reported.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions
The SEC defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management's view, most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and those that require significant judgments and estimates.
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including the allowance for doubtful accounts, the salability and recoverability of inventory, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We cannot predict what future laws and regulations might be passed that could have a material effect on our results of operations. We assess the impact of significant changes in laws and regulations on a regular basis and update the assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements when we deem it necessary.
Revenue recognition. We recognize revenue from the sales of products. Sales are recognized when the following four revenue criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectivity is reasonably assured. Sales revenue is presented net of value added tax (VAT), sales rebates and returns. No return allowance is made as product returns are insignificant based on historical experience.
Allowance for doubtful accounts. In estimating the collectability of accounts receivable we analyze historical write-offs, changes in our internal credit policies and customer concentrations when evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts. Differences may result in the amount and timing of expenses for any period if we make different judgments or use different estimates. Our accounts receivable represent a significant portion of our current assets and total assets. Our realization on accounts receivable, expressed in terms of United States dollars may be affected by fluctuations in currency rates since the customer’s currency is frequently a currency other than United States dollars.
Inventories. Inventories comprise raw materials and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost or market. Substantially all inventory costs are determined using the weighted average basis. Costs of finished goods include direct labor, direct materials, and production overhead before the goods are ready for sale. Inventory costs do not exceed net realizable value.
Taxation
Cayman Islands
The Government of the Cayman Islands does not, under existing legislation, impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax, estate duty, inheritance tax, gift tax or withholding tax upon us or our shareholders. The Cayman Islands are not party to a double tax treaty with any country that is applicable to any payments made to or by us.
We have received an undertaking from the Governor-in-Cabinet of the Cayman Islands that, in accordance with section 6 of the Tax Concessions Law (1999 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, for a period of 20 years from April 2006 no law which is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations shall apply to us or our operations and, in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable (i) on or in respect of our shares, debentures or other obligations or (ii) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of a payment of dividend or other distribution of income or capital by us to our shareholders or a payment of principal or interest or other sums by us due under a debenture or other obligation.
Hong Kong
Our indirect subsidiary, Wealth Environmental Technology, was incorporated in Hong Kong and under the current laws of Hong Kong, is subject to Profits Tax of 16.5%. No provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax has been made as Wealth Environmental Technology has no taxable income.
China
Before the implementation of the New EIT Law, FIEs established in the PRC, unless granted preferential tax treatments by the PRC government, were generally subject to an earned income tax, or EIT, rate of 33.0%, which included a 30.0% state income tax and a 3.0% local income tax. On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China passed the New EIT Law, and on November 28, 2007, the State Council of China passed the EIT Law Implementing Rules which took effect on January 1, 2008. The EIT Law and its implementing rules impose a unified EIT of 25.0% on all domestic-invested enterprises and FIEs, unless they qualify under certain limited exceptions.
In addition to the changes to the current tax structure, under the New EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a resident enterprise and will normally be subject to an EIT of 25% on its global income. The implementing rules define the term “de facto management bodies” as “an establishment that exercises, in substance, overall management and control over the production, business, personnel, accounting, etc., of a Chinese enterprise.” If the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we should be classified as a resident enterprise, then our organization’s global income will be subject to PRC income tax of 25%. For detailed discussion of PRC tax issues related to resident enterprise status, see “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Business – Under the New Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of China. Such classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders.”
In addition, the New EIT Law and its implementing rules generally provide that a 10% withholding tax applies to China-sourced income derived by non-resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes unless the jurisdiction of incorporation of such enterprises’ shareholder has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement. Jiangmen Huiyuan is considered an FIE and is directly held by our subsidiary in Hong Kong. According to a 2006 tax treaty between the Mainland and Hong Kong, dividends payable by an FIE in China to the company in Hong Kong who directly holds at least 25% of the equity interests in the FIE will be subject to a no more than 5% withholding tax. We expect that such 5% withholding tax will apply to dividends paid to Wealth Environmental Technology by Jiangmen Huiyuan, but this treatment will depend on our status as a non-resident enterprise.
Our future effective income tax rate depends on various factors, such as tax legislation, the geographic composition of our pre-tax income and non-tax deductible expenses incurred. Our management carefully monitors these legal developments and will timely adjust our effective income tax rate when necessary.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-6, Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements, that amends existing disclosure requirements under ASC 820 by adding required disclosures about items transferring into and out of levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy; adding separate disclosures about purchase, sales, issuances, and settlements relative to level 3 measurements; and clarifying, among other things, the existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation. This ASU is effective for the first quarter of 2010, except for the requirement to provide level 3 activities of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which is effective beginning the first quarter of 2011. Since this standard impacts disclosure requirements only, its adoption will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
Off Balance Sheet Transactions
We do not have any off-balance sheet transactions.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market risk.
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our President and Chief Executive Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2011, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms due to a material weakness consisting of a lack of accounting personnel with sufficient experience in maintaining books and records and preparing financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This material weakness could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters and failure to perform timely and effective reviews.
A system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No changes were made to our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
