PART I

Item 1.             Business.

Overview

Wuhan General Group (China), Inc. (the “Company”) is a holding company whose primary business operations are conducted through our wholly owned subsidiary, Universe Faith Group, Ltd. (“UFG”), which has no operations of its own and only serves to hold our Chinese operating subsidiaries, Wuhan Blower Co., Ltd. (“Wuhan Blower”), Wuhan Generating Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Wuhan Generating”) and Wuhan Xingelin Machinery Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (“Wuhan Xingelin Equipment”). Wuhan Blower is a manufacturer of industrial blowers that are principally components of steam-driven electrical power generation plants. Wuhan Generating manufactures industrial steam and water turbines, which also are principally used in electrical power generation plants. Wuhan Xingelin Equipment manufactures silencers, connectors and other general parts for industrial blowers and electrical equipment, and it produces general machinery equipment. Wuhan Blower, Wuhan General and Wuhan Xingelin Equipment conduct all of their operations in the People’s Republic of China, which we refer to in this report as PRC or China. Prior to our acquisition of UFG in February 2007, we were a publicly held shell company with no operations other than efforts to identify suitable parties for a merger transaction.

Our Corporate History

The Company was incorporated on July 19, 1988 under the laws of the State of Colorado as Riverside Capital, Inc. On February 28, 1989, Riverside Capital completed a public offering of 20,500,000 units (consisting of common stock and warrants) at an offering price of $0.01 per unit. Riverside Capital engaged in various business endeavors, and on March 18, 1992, acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of United National Film Corporation. At that time, we changed our name to United National Film Corporation. We were not successful in the film business, and in June 2001, we suspended all business activities and became a “reporting shell corporation.” As such, we had no operations other than maintaining our public company status and searching for a suitable party with which to execute a reverse merger transaction, in which a previously private company takes on our public company status. In October 2006, we changed our state of incorporation from Colorado to Nevada.

On February 7, 2007, we completed a share exchange transaction, in which we issued to Fame Good International Limited (“Fame”), as the sole stockholder of UFG, 17,912,446 newly issued shares of our common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of UFG held by Fame. As a result, UFG became our wholly owned subsidiary, Fame became our controlling stockholder and the management team of Wuhan Blower replaced our prior management. Prior to the share exchange transaction, we had no relationship with Fame, UFG, Wuhan Blower or Wuhan Generating. On March 13, 2007, the Company changed its name from “United National Film Corporation” to “Wuhan General Group (China), Inc.”

Prior to the share exchange transaction, we had 1,800,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Following the closing of the share exchange transaction, we had 19,712,446 shares of common stock outstanding.  As of March 30, 2009, we had 25,070,346 shares of common stock outstanding.

Background and History of UFG and Wuhan Blower

UFG was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands in August 2006. Until the share exchange transaction in February 2007, UFG was a wholly owned subsidiary of Fame, also a BVI company and now our controlling stockholder. Our President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Xu Jie, acquired control of Fame, and Fame acquired control of UFG, in late August 2006. Neither Fame nor UFG had any active business operations until UFG acquired Wuhan Blower in September 2006.
 
Wuhan Blower was founded in 1958 as the Wuhan Blower Company, a State-Owned Enterprise (“SOE”) and became one of the largest manufacturers of industrial blowers in central and southwest China. In 2004, Mr. Xu purchased the company with the intention of making changes to its management structure, employee utilization, plant location and general operations which would transform it from a traditional Chinese SOE into a modern, efficient operating company. Mr. Xu relocated the company to the East Lake Hi-Tech Development Zone in Wuhan, with much improved access to railroads, waterways and roads necessary for the transportation of its products, and constructed a new headquarters, research and development, and manufacturing facility at this location. Principally as a result of these actions, combined with more efficient use of personnel, Wuhan Blower has experienced significant increases in revenues and net income over the last three years.

On January 9, 2007, Wuhan Blower completed its acquisition of Wuhan Generating, a manufacturer of water and steam turbines, which is a complementary business to that of Wuhan Blower. We recently completed the construction of a new turbine manufacturing facility for Wuhan Generating. We have installed a portion of the customized equipment in this new facility and have begun producing steam turbines from this facility. As we receive additional turbine orders, we will purchase and install the remainder of the customized equipment in this new facility.

We are located in Wuhan, the capital of China’s Hubei Province and one of the ten largest cities in China. Hubei is centrally located and is a key player in the Chinese automotive, metallurgy, machinery, power generation, textiles and high-tech industries. Wuhan is one of the major university cities in the country, providing a highly educated workforce for the area’s industries.

Acquisition of UFG
 
On February 7, 2007, we completed the share exchange transaction, also known as a “reverse acquisition” transaction, whereby UFG became our wholly owned subsidiary and Fame became our controlling stockholder.

Upon the closing of the share exchange transaction, Glenn A. Little, then our sole director and officer, submitted his resignation from all offices that he held effective immediately. Xu Jie, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Wuhan Blower, was appointed our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. In addition, the Wuhan Blower executive officers became our executive officers.

For accounting purposes, the share exchange transaction is treated as a reverse acquisition with UFG as the acquirer and Wuhan General Group (China), Inc. as the acquired party. As a result, the Company is deemed to be a continuation of the business of UFG. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are those of the accounting acquirer (UFG). The historical stockholders’ equity of the accounting acquirer prior to the share exchange has been retroactively restated as if the share exchange transaction occurred as of the beginning of the first period presented.

February 2007 Private Placement

Also on February 7, 2007, we completed a private placement transaction in which we issued to nine institutional investors an aggregate of 10,287,554 shares of our newly created Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) at a price of $2.33 per share for gross proceeds of $23,970,000. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock on a 1-for-1 basis. The holders of our Series A Preferred Stock are not required to pay a conversion price or any other consideration in order to convert Series A Preferred Stock into common stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to a dividend equal to 5% per annum, payable quarterly. We must pay any unpaid dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock before paying dividends on our common stock.
 
Except with respect to specified transactions that may affect the Series A Preferred Stock and except as otherwise required by Nevada law, the Series A Preferred Stock has no voting rights. In  2008, 32.5% of the outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock was converted into 3,343,560 shares of our common stock. The remaining shares of our Series A Preferred Stock will convert automatically into our common stock if the trading price and volume of our common stock reaches certain levels on or after February 5, 2010. In the event of our liquidation, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of our assets available for distribution to stockholders, an amount equal to $2.33 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends before any payment can be made to the holders of our common stock.
 
In the private placement, we also issued three series of common stock purchase warrants - Series A, J and B.

The investors in the February 2007 private placement received “60% warrant coverage” on their investment. As a result, we issued to the investors, on a pro rata basis, Series A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,172,531 shares of common stock. The Series A Warrants have an exercise price of $2.57 per share and expire on February 7, 2012.
 
In addition, each of the private placement investors who invested at least $2,000,000 also were entitled to purchase shares of our common stock on the same terms as such investor’s initial purchase. To represent this right, we issued Series J Warrants to these investors to purchase an aggregate of 9,358,370 shares of common stock. The Series J Warrants had an exercise price of $2.33 per share and expired on November 7, 2008.  As described in more detail below in “Overview – Creation of Series B Preferred Stock” in this Part I, Item 1, we amended the terms of the Series J Warrants in September 2008 so that the warrants became exercisable for Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) rather than common stock.  Prior to the expiration date, a portion of the Series J Warrants were exercised for a total of 6,369,078 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
 
Investors receiving Series J Warrants also received “60% warrant coverage” on this additional investment, if made. The Series B Warrants can only be exercised upon and to the extent that the Series J Warrants were exercised. The Series B Warrants have an exercise price of $2.57 and expire on February 7, 2012.  Based on the amount of Series J Warrants exercised prior to expiration, the Series B Warrants are exercisable for 3,821,446 shares of common stock.

As partial consideration for services rendered by 1st BridgeHouse Securities, LLC (“1st BridgeHouse”), the placement agent for the February 2007 private placement, we agreed to issue warrants to purchase common stock to 1st BridgeHouse in an amount equal to 10% of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock sold in the private placement, plus 10% of any shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Series A, B and J Warrants issued in the private placement. This right is represented by Series C, AA, BB and JJ warrants originally issued to 1st BridgeHouse. The Series C, AA, BB and JJ Warrants relate to the Series A Preferred Stock, Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and Series J Warrants, respectively. The exercise prices of the Series C, AA, BB and JJ Warrants are $2.57, $2.83, $2.83 and $2.57, respectively. These exercise prices are 110% of the purchase price for the related security. As of December 31, 2008, there were 1,028,755, up to 617,253, up to 382,145 and 636,908 shares of common stock issuable under the Series C, AA, BB and JJ Warrants, respectively. The Series C, AA, BB and JJ Warrants expire on February 7, 2017.

Creation of Series B Preferred Stock

On September 5, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement to Amend Series J Warrants of the Company with holders of warrants exercisable for a majority of the shares of warrant stock issuable under the Company’s Series A, B and J Warrants. This agreement amended the Series J Warrants so that such warrants are exercisable for shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock. Prior to this agreement, the Series J Warrants were exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock.

In connection with this agreement, the Company designated 9,358,370 shares of preferred stock as Series B Preferred Stock with those rights and preferences as set forth in the Certificate of Designation of the Relative Rights and Preferences of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Certificate of Designation”). The Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock and junior to the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of the Company’s common stock. The foregoing is only a summary of the Series B Preferred Stock and is qualified by the exact terms of the Certificate of Designation, which was Exhibit 4.1 to our Form 8-K filed on September 11, 2008.

Certain investors exercised their amended Series J Warrants for an aggregate of 6,369,078 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Company received gross proceeds of $14,839,952 for the issuance of those shares in connection with the exercise of the Series J Warrants. The total amount of commission paid to the placement agent, 1st BridgeHouse, was 10% of the gross proceeds, or $1,483,995.  The Company also paid a total of $274,480 for other financing related expenses. The net proceeds from the transactions, after accounting for placement agent commissions and other related financing expenses, was $13,081,477.

Agreements in connection with February 2007 Private Placement

In connection with the February 2007 private placement, we entered into the securities escrow agreement and lock-up agreement. A summary of each of these agreements is provided below.
 
4

 
The Company and Fame, the Company’s controlling stockholder, entered into a securities escrow agreement with the private placement investors in which Fame agreed to certain “make good” provisions. In the securities escrow agreement, the parties established minimum performance thresholds for the 12 months ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008. The 2007 performance threshold was achieved. The 2008 performance threshold is net income of $22,000,000. Fame deposited into escrow a total of 9,000,000 shares of our common stock. If we do not achieve the 2008 performance threshold, some or all of the escrow shares will be delivered pro rata to the private placement investors, with the amount distributed dependent upon the amount by which we fail to achieve the performance threshold. If we meet or exceed the 2008 performance threshold, the escrow shares will be returned to Fame. If escrow shares are distributed, only those private placement investors who hold Series A Preferred Stock at the time the escrow shares become deliverable are entitled to their pro rata portion of such escrow shares. The foregoing is only a summary of the “make good” arrangements and is qualified by the exact terms of the securities escrow agreement, which was Exhibit 10.4 to our Form 8-K filed on February 13, 2007.

Also in connection with the private placement, we entered into a lock-up agreement with Fame. Under the terms of the lock-up agreement, Fame agreed not to sell any shares of our common stock until February 5, 2011, unless permitted by the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock. The lock-up agreement contains a limited exception for bona fide gifts.

Establishment of Wuhan Xingelin Equipment

On December 25, 2008, Wuhan Blower entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Wuhan Gongchuang Real Estate Co., Ltd., pursuant to which Wuhan Blower acquired certain assets including certain buildings, equipment and land use rights (the “Shu Kong Acquisition”). We are in the process of developing this property and establishing a new business segment with these assets. We intend that this new business segment will produce blower parts and machinery equipment. We anticipate that Wuhan Xingelin Equipment will supply industrial parts to Wuhan Blower and Wuhan Generating.

In connection with this acquisition, we created Wuhan Xingelin Equipment in order to hold these assets and manage our new operating segment. Wuhan Blower owns over 99% of Wuhan Xingelin Equipment. The remaining minority interest is owned by an unrelated party who is in the process of selling his interest in Wuhan Xingelin Equipment to Wuhan Blower.

Our Products

We engage primarily in the design, development, manufacture and sale of industrial blowers in China. Our industrial blowers are used primarily in steam-driven electrical power generation plants. In addition, we produce steam and water turbines in our blower facilities and in shared facilities. We also produce steam turbines in our new turbine manufacturing facility. We have installed a portion of the customized equipment in this facility and as we receive additional turbine orders, we will purchase and install the remainder of the customized equipment. Steam and water turbines are manufactured principally for use in electrical and hydropower plants.

Industrial Blowers
 
Industrial Blowers Generally

Industrial blowers are used to move very large volumes of air through industrial processes. When used in conjunction with an industrial furnace in steam-driven electrical power generation plants, they:
 
5

 
 
·
blow air into furnaces in order to increase oxygen and improve combustion;
 
·
blow fuel (primarily coal dust) into furnaces; and
 
·
remove furnace exhaust.

If pollution control is required for the waste gases, then:

 
·
a blower will propel the exhaust gases through a pollution reduction unit (such as a de-sulphurization unit); and
 
·
a final blower will push the “cleaned” gases to and through the smokestack.

Industrial blowers are custom-made for the specific installation in which they will be used. The blower can be driven by an industrial scale electric motor, a diesel engine or a steam turbine. In addition to their use in power generation plants, industrial blowers are also used in the metallurgy and petrochemicals industries, as well as for ventilation in mines, mass transit (subways, tunnels, stations) and sewage treatment (for aeration).
 
Our Industrial Blower Products

Our primary blower products are:

 
·
Axial fans. These consist of a bladed impeller (fan) in an elongated cylindrical casing and are primarily used to provide high-volume, low-pressure air for larger power stations of 200 to 1,000 megawatts.
 
·
Centrifugal Blowers. These consist of a “squirrel cage” type impeller (or rotor) in a scroll- or spiral-shaped casing. Air is drawn into the center of the squirrel cage through a hole in the side of the casing and is thrown out at a right angle by the rotational force. These blowers provide lower volumes of air, but at higher pressures, and are used in medium-sized power stations of 100 to 300 megawatts for blowing coal dust into furnaces. They are also used for aeration in sewage treatment plants.

When required for noise abatement purposes, we also manufacture silencers or “mufflers” fitted to the exhaust side of our centrifugal blowers. These silencers are very similar in form and function to the muffler on an automobile: the silencer interior is fitted with perforated metal trays stuffed with a sound absorbing material such as fiberglass.

We are one of the largest suppliers of industrial blowers in our market to the Chinese electrical power generation industry, which is growing rapidly. All of our products are custom-built for specific purchasers. The majority of our product revenue comes from competitive bidding.

A typical blower costs approximately $90,000 and takes 45 to 90 days to build, from design to finish. We are currently producing approximately 660 blower/fan units per year.

The manufacture of these products combines both low-tech and high-tech processes. The low-tech process consists of the cutting and welding of the steel for both the rotors and the casings. The high-tech process consists of the product design, the “finish” manufacturing of the rotor shafts, and the balancing of the rotor assemblies.
 
6

 
We make extensive use of computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided engineering (CAE) in the design phase of our manufacturing process. In particular, CAE provides us with the ability to do finite element analysis of our rotor designs, while CAD allows us to do three dimensional modeling (to include molding coordinates for the fan/blower blades) and design of the inlet and outlet parameters. Our relationships with the Science and Technology University of Central China, Jiaotong University and the Acoustic Institute of the China Science Academy allow us to stay abreast of the latest developments in the fields of fluid dynamics, material sciences and acoustics.

We have a sophisticated acoustics lab in our facility. We share this acoustics lab with our university partners, and the China Fan Performance Test Center uses it for some of its work.

Through the use of the above technologies, we are able to design fans/blowers of the highest efficiency providing precisely the volumes and pressures required.

Parts purchased from third parties consist mainly of the electric motor specified by the client (normally equal to about 20% of the build cost of the assembly) and bearing castings.

Following the establishment of our new blower parts manufacturing business, which will be conducted by our Wuhan Xingelin Equipment, we expect to purchase fewer blower parts from unrelated third parties.
 
Turbines

Steam Turbines Generally

In a steam-driven electrical or thermal power generation plant, blowers like those we manufacture feed fuel and air into a large furnace. The primary purpose of the furnace is to produce steam for the powering of steam-driven turbines. A stream turbine takes the force of the steam and converts it into rotary motion, which is then used to drive machinery.

Steam turbines are normally categorized by their output in watts – kilowatts through megawatts. A small steam turbine of 750 kilowatts is capable of lighting 7,500 100-watt light bulbs. A large 500 megawatt turbine can light 5 million 100-watt light bulbs or supply the power for a medium-sized city.

Steam turbines are high-precision, high-tolerance pieces of machinery and in many respects are similar to a jet engine. Each is built-to-order according to the design specifications of the customer. In general, they are very large pieces of machinery with extremely heavy castings. The manufacture of steam turbines, like blowers, requires both low-tech and high-tech processes.

Water Turbines Generally

For those applications such as a hydropower plant where the customer is close to a source of water power and does not need steam for other applications in its plant, a water turbine may be more economical than a steam turbine. In this case, the cost of building a source of water pressure (typically a dam) and the viaduct to the water turbine must be weighed against the cost of building a steam plant. In general, water turbines have lower tolerances and are considered lower technology than steam turbines.
 
7

 
A water turbine operates very much like an enclosed water wheel - high velocity incoming water pushes against the turbine blades, forcing the turbine to rotate and provide power to the attached generator set.

As with a steam turbine, each is built-to-order according to the design specifications of the customer. The most important consideration in the design is the height of the water column above the turbine, which will determine how large the turbine must be and how fast it must turn to achieve the desired power output.

Our Turbine Products

We have been producing water turbines from our blower manufacturing facilities since 2007. We recently completed the construction of a new turbine manufacturing facility for Wuhan Generating. We currently produce steam turbines at our new turbine manufacturing facility based on the equipment already installed and we also produce steam turbines at a shared facility. As we receive additional turbine orders, we will purchase and install the remainder of the customized equipment in this new facility.

We currently manufacture the following types of steam turbines:

 
·
Regular steam turbines - these turbines are designed to make maximum use of the steam, with any waste steam vented into the atmosphere through cooling towers.
 
·
Co-generation steam turbines - these turbines are designed to provide for the use of “waste steam” by a nearby industrial plant (such as a paper or chemical plant).

Steam turbine production is characterized by low unit volume with high unit revenue and margins. While it is difficult to generalize, a 100 megawatt steam turbine costs approximately $6 million and takes three to six months to build.

Water turbines, on the other hand, bear a stronger resemblance (in manufacture) to our traditional industrial blowers. A water turbine resembles a blower operating in reverse, powered by water rather than air. Given this similarity, we began production of water turbines in our existing facilities and in shared facilities before our new turbine manufacturing facility was completed.

A typical ten megawatt water turbine costs approximately $450,000 and takes three to four months to construct.
 
The design and manufacturing of steam and water turbines require a high degree of engineering skill. We have a close relationship with Beijing 3-D, a high tech enterprise co-sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, for the purpose of developing new designs and manufacturing technology for the power generation equipment manufacturing industry in China. Beijing 3-D has developed world-class 3-dimensional CAD tools for use in the design of steam and water turbines. We anticipate obtaining rights to this technology in exchange for payment of a sales royalty on turbines utilizing the technology, although no formal agreement is currently in place. We believe this technology will give us significant advantages in providing our customers with the highest quality turbines, tailored precisely to their needs. Through its use, we believe we will be able to:
 
8

 
 
·
increase steam generator thermal efficiency by approximately 5% to 7%;
 
·
reduce coal consumption by approximately 15 to 21g per KWH; and
 
·
increase megawatt output by approximately 10% per unit.

As a result, we believe that we can compete effectively in the turbine market. We also will be providing for China’s need for cleaner and more efficient electric power production.

Development of Our Steam and Water Turbine Business

On January 9, 2007, Wuhan Blower completed the formation of Wuhan Generating. To develop the Company’s turbine business, Wuhan Blower reached an understanding with China Chang Jiang Energy Corporation (“China Chang Jiang”), which owns Wuhan Turbine Works, a manufacturer of energy turbines for power plants. China Chang Jiang has agreed to allow us to assume the operations of Wuhan Turbine Works related to the manufacture of steam turbines up to 300 megawatts and water turbines up to 200 megawatts. To this end, Wuhan Generating hired a number of the management team members from Wuhan Turbine Works. These former Wuhan Turbine Works management team members and a limited number of Wuhan Turbine Works skilled laborers helped Wuhan Generating launch its turbine operations in 2007. Upon the installation of all the customized equipment in our new turbine manufacturing facility, Wuhan Generating expects to hire approximately 250 employees to assist with turbine manufacturing.

We are utilizing a management strategy for Wuhan Generating that is similar to the one we used for Wuhan Blower during its first two years: management and employee restructuring, movement to a new facility (on our existing premises) and an intense focus on research and development.
 
We constructed a new turbine manufacturing facility adjacent to our current manufacturing facilities. We have already commenced the manufacture of turbines at our new facility and by utilizing outsourcing and our existing blower manufacturing equipment. We plan to purchase and install additional customized equipment for our new turbine manufacturing facility as we receive additional turbine orders from our customers.

We are spending approximately $22.5 million on the new turbine plant and related equipment; a portion of the funding for this project was derived from the net proceeds of our February 2007 private placement and the fall 2008 Series J Warrant exercises. The new workshop is planned to be approximately 247,500 square feet with a hoist crane capacity of 160 tons. We have purchased large, high-precision equipment such as a 20 foot vertical boring lathe, a 39 foot precision horizontal lathe, two numerically controlled boring and milling machines, and a large dynamic-balance machine with a high-precision and numerically controlled machining center.  Approximately 75% of this machinery has been installed in our facility. We will purchase and install the remainder of the customized equipment as we receive additional turbine orders.

In addition, we have constructed a new administrative building for the turbine manufacturing facility, which is located adjacent to the turbine manufacturing facility.  The administrative building will be used by personnel in turbine supplies and sales and for other administrative tasks. Construction on the administrative building began in June 2006 and was completed in December 2007. We are currently conducting turbine sales from our blower administrative building. As our turbine sales grow and provide us with additional working capital, we will complete the interior of our turbine administrative building and transfer our current and future turbine administrative staff to this new building.

The launch of the turbine business puts us on a high-margin per unit business path, offering us exceptional growth opportunities by participating in China’s dynamic growth in electrical generating capacity requirements.
 
In starting our turbine enterprise, we have a seasoned, tested management team, the availability of cutting-edge design and manufacturing technology and a brand-new fabrication facility. With these assets, we believe we have assembled the pieces to create the predominant steam and water turbine manufacturer in China.
 
In July 2007, we entered into a contract with Jiangsu Huangli Paper Industry Co., Ltd. (“Jiangsu Huangli”) to build a thermal electric power plant with four boiler furnaces and two turbine generator groups in Jiangyin, Jiangsu. We expect to receive approximately $26.37 million to construct this power plant, and this total amount will be paid to us in monthly payments over a period of one year. If Jiangsu Huangli fails to make timely payments to us, we are contractually bound to assume the cost to continue with the construction of the power plant. Although we do not currently anticipate this happening, if we were required to assume construction costs, the power plant project would become a joint venture between us and Jiangsu Huangli. We plan to complete the power plant around June 2009.
 
Our Market
 
The market for blowers, steam turbines and water turbines in China is directly driven by the growth in the country’s overall demand for electricity and the now mandated requirement for electrical generating equipment that is both more fuel efficient and less polluting. According to the Energy Information Administration, China currently has the second greatest amount of installed electrical capacity of any nation, trailing only the United States. China Daily Online reports that China’s total installed electricity generating capacity exceeded 713 gigawatts in 2007, up 14.6% from 2006. According to the People’s Daily Online, the Chinese government made the increase in installed capacity a major part of the 10th (2005) and 11th (2010) Five Year Plans. According to RNCOS, an industry research firm, China will consume around 16% of the world’s energy by 2020.

China’s electrical capacity is installed not only in centralized major power production plants, but also often on the premises of major industrial facilities. The on-site production of power allows a company to avoid brownouts or complete loss of service. In this manner, many companies have insulated themselves from the short-fall in overall capacity.

Our Customers

In our blower manufacturing business, we currently have a base of over 300 customers.  Our turbine manufacturing business has approximately 30 customers.

Raw Materials and Supplies

The principal raw materials used in the manufacture of our products are rolled steel and iron. We believe these materials are widely available from multiple sources, though we primarily obtain them from three suppliers: Wuhan Iron and Steel Group, Baoshan Iron & Steel Co. and Jinan Iron & Steel Co.
 
10


Research and Development

We believe that our research and development (“R&D”) facilities are among the most advanced in the industry. Our R&D department operates out of a new facility at our Wuhan campus. Our relationships with the Science and Technology University of Central China, Jiaotong University and the Acoustic Institute of China Science Academy allow us to stay abreast of the latest developments in the fields of fluid dynamics, material sciences and acoustics. We have a sophisticated acoustics lab in our facility, which we share with our university partners and which the China Fan Performance Test Center uses for some of its work. During 2008, R&D expense was approximately 2% of sales and we expect R&D expense to be approximately 2% of 2009 sales. Generally, we are able to offset these costs through increases in the sales price of our products.
 
Our Competition

We believe that there are currently approximately 2,000 blower and fan manufactures in China, but that most of these are small and do not have the R&D and manufacturing resources that we do. We compete mainly with six large scale manufacturers.  We believe that there are currently approximately 240 turbine manufactures in China, but that most of these are small and do not have the R&D and manufacturing resources that we do.  We believe there are approximately five significant manufacturers of steam and water turbines with whom we compete. In both our blower and turbine businesses, we compete primarily on the basis of reputation, price, quality, engineering, timeliness and post-purchase services.

Regulation
 
We do not face any significant government regulation of our businesses or in connection with the production of our products. We do not require any special government permits to produce our products other than those permits that are required of all corporations in China.

Our Employees

As of March 30, 2009, we employed approximately 750 full-time employees.
 
Each of Wuhan Blower and Wuhan Generating has a trade union that protects employees’ rights, aims to assist in the fulfillment of our economic objectives, encourages employee participation in management decisions and assists in mediating disputes between us and union members. This type of union is typical in the PRC and is not similar to American or European labor unions.  We believe that we maintain a satisfactory working relationship with our employees and we have not experienced any significant labor disputes or any difficulty in recruiting employees for our operations.

As required by applicable Chinese law, we have entered into employment contracts with all of our officers, managers and employees.

Our employees in the PRC participate in a state pension scheme organized by Chinese municipal and provincial governments. In addition, as required by PRC law, we provide employees in the PRC with various types of social insurance, including medical insurance, unemployment insurance and occupational injury insurance.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

An investment in our common stock or other securities involves a number of risks.  You should carefully consider each of the risks described below before deciding to invest in our common stock.  If any of the following risks develops into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected, the market price of our common stock or other securities could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

The risk factors presented below are all of the ones that we currently consider material. However, they are not the only ones facing our Company.  Additional risks not presently known to us, or which we currently consider immaterial, may also adversely affect us.  There may be risks that a particular investor views differently from us, and our analysis might be wrong.  If any of the risks that we face actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected and could differ materially from any possible results suggested by any forward-looking statements that we have made or might make.  In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.

Risk Factors Related to Our Business

Our steam and water turbine business is a critical component of our growth and overall business strategy, yet our turbine facility is not fully operational and we have limited experience manufacturing turbines.

In late 2005, Wuhan Blower reached an understanding with many of the former management members of Wuhan Turbine Works, a business owned by China Chang Jiang Energy Corporation, whereby it would establish a new business utilizing their management and technology to manufacture small to mid-size steam and water turbines. Since that time, we have begun production of turbines in our existing manufacturing facilities and in shared facilities. In March 2006, we broke ground on a new turbine manufacturing facility. The construction of the turbine manufacturing facility has been completed and approximately 75% of the equipment has been installed. As we receive additional turbine orders, we will purchase and install the remainder of the customized equipment in this new facility. We have already begun production of turbines from this facility and will expand production once the installation is complete. The manufacture of turbines has become a critical component of our business. However, we have only two years experience manufacturing turbines.

Because we have had a limited operating history in the turbine manufacturing business, it is difficult to forecast accurately our future revenues and expenses related to this business. Additionally, our turbine operations will continue to be subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business, including, among other things, efficiently deploying our capital, developing our product and service offerings, developing and implementing our marketing campaigns and strategies and developing awareness and acceptance of our products. Our ability to generate future revenues from these operations will be dependent on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. To be successful, we must, among other things, complete the installation of the customized equipment, integrate the former managers of Wuhan Turbine Works and establish market recognition in this business. This will require us to expend significant resources, including capital and management time and there can be no assurance that this aspect of our business will be successful.
 
12

 
Wuhan Blower was privatized in 2004, so it has a limited history of operations as a non-state-owned enterprise. We may not realize the benefits of privatization as quickly as we anticipate or at the level that we expect.
 
Wuhan Blower was originally founded in 1958 as the Wuhan Blower Company. In 2004, Mr. Xu Jie purchased the company and implemented steps to transform it from a traditional Chinese state-owned enterprise into a modern, efficient company. Thus, we only have a limited history of operations as a non-state-owned enterprise. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in achieving the benefits we expect from our privatization, such as increased management flexibility in implementing measures to improve our cost structure, the efficient operation of our business and the expansion into new businesses in a timely manner or at all. Factors that may cause the actual benefits we may derive from privatization to deviate from our expectations include:

 
·
inexperience of management in transforming and then operating a non-state-owned enterprise;
 
·
unanticipated adverse developments in our attempt to achieve efficient management of our workforce and operation of our business;
 
·
changes in regulations affecting us following our privatization; and
 
·
the speed with which we are able to implement more efficient management systems, and the resulting levels of cost savings.

Wuhan Xingelin Equipment is not fully operational and we have little experience manufacturing and marketing parts for blowers and other industrial equipment.

We expect Wuhan Xingelin Equipment to produce industrial parts mainly for Wuhan Blower and Wuhan Generating. We also plan to market industrial parts and machinery equipment to third parties. Because we have no experience in the parts and machinery equipment manufacturing business, we may not be successful. In addition, it is difficult to forecast accurately our future revenues and expenses related to this business. We also have not completed construction of a workshop and other buildings to be used by Wuhan Xingelin Equipment.

Our operations will continue to be subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business, including, among other things, efficiently deploying our capital, developing our product and service offerings, developing and implementing our marketing campaigns and strategies and developing awareness and acceptance of our products. Our ability to generate future revenues from these operations will be dependent on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. To be successful, we must, among other things, complete our remaining workshop, integrate our existing management and establish market recognition in this business. This will require us to expend significant resources, including capital and management time and there can be no assurance that this aspect of our business will be successful.

We have not paid the remaining balance in connection with the Shu Kong Acquisition and we may require additional financing to meet this obligation and to complete construction of various buildings for Wuhan Xingelin Equipment.

We owe a balance of approximately $6 million in connection with the Shu Kong Acquisition. In addition, we must pay an additional $1.78 million to complete construction on the acquired facilities. We may require financing to meet these obligations. There is no guarantee that we will obtain such financing, and, if we are not able to meet our financial commitment in a timely manner, Wuhan Xingelin Equipment may cease to be operational.

Our management has identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures that, if not properly remediated, could result in material misstatements in our financial statements in future periods.

In conjunction with the preparation of this Form 10-K, our management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008. Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures contained significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.  For more detailed information regarding our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures, see Part II, Item 9A Controls and Procedures.
 
If we are unable to improve our financial and management controls and hire additional accounting and finance staff experienced in addressing complex accounting matters applicable to public reporting companies, in each case in a timely and effective manner, our ability to comply with the accounting and financial reporting requirements and other rules that apply to public reporting companies would be impaired.
 
If the remedial policies and procedures we implement are insufficient to address the identified material weaknesses, or if additional significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls are discovered in the future, we may fail to meet our future reporting obligations, our financial statements may contain material misstatements and our operating results may be adversely affected. Any such failure also could adversely affect the results of the periodic management evaluations regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
 
We must implement additional and expensive procedures and controls in order to grow our business and organization and to satisfy reporting requirements, which will increase our costs and require additional management resources. 

As a public reporting company, we are required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the related rules and regulations of the SEC, including the requirements that we maintain disclosure controls and procedures and adequate internal control over financial reporting. We also are required to comply with marketplace rules to maintain our NASDAQ listing. Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other SEC and NASDAQ requirements will increase our costs and require additional management resources. We recently began upgrading our procedures and controls and will need to continue to implement additional procedures and controls as we grow our business and organization and to satisfy new reporting requirements. If we are unable to complete the required assessment as to the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or if we fail to maintain internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely, accurate and reliable periodic financial statements could be impaired.
 
14

 
Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and prevent us from fulfilling our financial obligations.
 
We have incurred substantial debt to finance our growth. As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately $36.63 million of outstanding bank loans and notes.  This indebtedness could have important consequences to us, such as:

 
·
limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund growth, working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements or other cash requirements;
 
·
limiting our operational flexibility due to the covenants contained in our debt agreements;
 
·
limiting our ability to invest operating cash flow in our business due to debt service requirements;
 
·
limiting our ability to compete with companies that are not as highly leveraged and that may be better positioned to withstand economic downturns; and
 
·
increasing our vulnerability to fluctuations in market interest rates.

Our ability to meet our expenses and debt service obligations will depend on our future performance, which will be affected by financial, business, economic and other factors, including potential changes in customer preferences, the success of product and marketing innovation and pressure from competitors. If we do not have enough money to pay our debt service obligations, we may be required to raise additional equity capital, sell assets or borrow more money. We may not be able, at any given time, to raise additional equity capital, sell assets or borrow more money on terms acceptable to us or at all.
 
In addition, the majority of our debt matures in less than one year. In the past, we have refinanced our debt prior to maturity. However there can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance our debt on favorable terms.
 
Default in payment by one or more customers that have large account receivable balances could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

A significant portion of our working capital consists of accounts receivable from customers. As of December 31, 2008, we had an aggregate amount of $41.49 million in accounts receivables. If customers responsible for a significant amount of accounts receivable were to become insolvent or otherwise unable or unwilling to make timely payments, our business, results of operation, financial condition or liquidity could be adversely affected. A significant amount of customer defaults would be most likely to occur in an economic or industry downturn. Such an event could result in longer payment cycles, increased collection costs and defaults in excess of management’s expectations.
 
We rely on third-party relationships to augment our research and development capabilities. If we fail to establish new, or maintain existing, collaborative arrangements, or if our partners do not perform, we may be unable to research and develop new products and make technological advancements.

Although we maintain our own research and development facilities, we also rely on collaborative arrangements with third-parties to research and develop new products and make technological advancements. For example, we have relationships with the Science and Technology University of Central China, Jiaotong University and the Acoustic Institute of the China Science Academy that allow us to stay abreast of the latest developments in the fields of fluid dynamics, material sciences and acoustics. We would be harmed by the loss of such relationships. In addition, we license technological information, and receive related technical assistance, from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. in connection with the majority of axial flow fans that we produce. If we fail to retain our rights under the license agreement, we would not be able to produce axial flow fans using the technical information provided by Mitsubishi. Additional collaborations may be necessary in the future. If we fail to enter into additional collaborative arrangements or fail to maintain our existing collaborative arrangements, we may not be able to compete successfully with other companies that achieve technological advancements.
 
15

 
Our dependence on collaborative arrangements with third-parties subjects us to a number of risks, including, among others:

 
·
collaborative arrangements may not be on terms favorable to us;
 
·
disagreements with partners may result in delays in research and development, termination of our collaboration agreements or time consuming and expensive legal action;
 
·
we cannot control the amount and timing of resources that our partners devote to our research and development and our partners may not allocate sufficient funds or resources to our projects, or may not perform their obligations as expected;
 
·
partners may choose to research and develop, independently or with other companies, alternative products or technological advancements, including products or advancements that would compete with ours;
 
·
agreements with partners may expire or be terminated without renewal, or partners may breach collaboration agreements with us;
 
·
business combinations or significant changes in a partner’s business strategy might adversely affect that partner’s willingness or ability to complete its obligations to us; and
 
·
the terms and conditions of the relevant agreements may no longer be suitable.

The occurrence of any of these or similar events could adversely affect our research and development capabilities.
 
We have limited business insurance coverage.

The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. If we incur any losses, we will have to bear those losses without any assistance. As a result, we may not have sufficient capital to cover material damage to, or the loss of, our manufacturing facilities due to fire, severe weather, flood or other causes, and such damage or loss would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business and prospects.
 
Our results could be adversely impacted by product quality and performance.

We manufacture and install products based on specific requirements of each of our customers. We believe that future orders of our products or services will depend on our ability to maintain the performance, reliability and quality standards required by our customers. If our products or services have performance, reliability or quality problems, we may experience delays in the collection of accounts receivables, higher manufacturing or installation costs, additional warranty and service expense, and reduced, cancelled or discontinued orders. Additionally, performance, reliability or quality claims from our customers, with or without merit, could result in costly and time-consuming litigation that could require significant time and attention of management and involve significant monetary damages.
 
16

 
Price fluctuations and supply constraints in the steel and iron markets could reduce our profit margins or prevent us from meeting delivery schedules to our customers.

Our business is dependent on the prices and supply of steel and iron, which are the principal raw materials used in our products. The steel and iron industries are highly cyclical in nature, and steel and iron prices have been volatile in recent years and may remain volatile in the future. Steel and iron prices are influenced by numerous factors beyond our control, including general economic conditions, competition, labor costs, production costs, import duties and other trade restrictions. In 2007 and early 2008, there were unusually rapid and significant increases in steel and iron prices and severe shortages in the steel and iron industries due in part to increased demand from China’s expanding economy and high energy prices. These increases were followed in the second half of 2008 by significant decreases. We do not have any long-term contracts for the purchase of steel and iron and normally do not maintain inventories of steel and iron in excess of our current production requirements. We can give you no assurance that steel and iron will remain available to us at competitive prices or that prices will not continue to be volatile. If the available supply of steel and iron declines, we could experience price increases that we are not able to pass on to our customers, a deterioration of service from our suppliers or interruptions or delays that may cause us not to meet delivery schedules to our customers. Any of these problems could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Expansion of our business may strain our management and operational infrastructure and impede our ability to meet any increased demand for our products. In addition, we may need additional funding to support our growth, and this funding may not be available to us.

Our business plan is to grow significantly our operations by meeting the anticipated growth in demand for existing products, and by introducing new products. Our planned growth includes the continued development of our turbine manufacturing business. Growth in our business may place a significant strain on our personnel, management, financial systems and other resources. Our business growth also presents numerous risks and challenges, including:

 
·
our ability successfully and rapidly to expand sales to potential customers in response to potentially increasing demand;
 
·
the costs associated with such growth, which are difficult to quantify, but could be significant; and
 
·
rapid technological change.

To accommodate this growth and compete effectively, we may need to obtain additional funding to improve and expand our manufacturing facilities, information systems, procedures and controls and to expand, train, motivate and manage existing and additional employees. Funding may not be available in a sufficient amount or on favorable terms, if at all. If we are not able to manage these activities and implement these strategies successfully to expand to meet any increased demand, our operating results could suffer.
 
17

 
We depend heavily on key personnel, and turnover of key employees and senior management could harm our business.

Our future business and results of operations depend in significant part upon the continued contributions of our key technical and senior management personnel, including in particular Xu Jie, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. They also depend in significant part upon our ability to attract and retain additional qualified management, technical, marketing and sales and support personnel for our operations. If we lose a key employee, if a key employee fails to perform in his or her current position, or if we are not able to attract and retain skilled employees as needed, our business could suffer. Significant turnover in our senior management could significantly deplete institutional knowledge held by our existing senior management team. We depend on the skills and abilities of these key employees in managing the manufacturing, technical, marketing and sales aspects of our business, any part of which could be harmed by turnover in the future.
 
We are a holding company and rely on the receipt of dividends from our operating subsidiaries. We may encounter limitations on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us.

As a holding company, we have no direct business operations other than the ownership of our operating subsidiaries. Our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiaries. In addition, our operating subsidiaries, from time to time, may be subject to restrictions on their ability to make distributions to us, including as a result of restrictive covenants in loan agreements, restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions relating to doing business in China as discussed below. If future dividends are paid in Renminbi, fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of Renminbi into U.S. dollars may reduce the amount received by U.S. stockholders upon conversion of the dividend payment into U.S. dollars.
 
The ability of our Chinese operating subsidiaries to pay dividends may be restricted due to their corporate structure.

All of our operations are conducted in China and substantially all of our revenues are generated in China.  Chinese regulations currently permit the payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits as determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. This calculation may differ from the one performed under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. As a result, we may not receive sufficient distributions from our Chinese subsidiaries to enable us to make dividend distributions to our stockholders in the future. The limitations on distributions of the profits of our Chinese operating subsidiaries could negatively affect our financial condition and assets, even if our U.S. GAAP financial statements indicate that our operations have been profitable.

Currently, our subsidiaries in China are the only significant sources of revenues or investment holdings for the payment of dividends. If they do not accumulate sufficient profits under Chinese accounting standards and regulations, we will be unable to pay any dividends.
 
18

 
We enjoy certain preferential tax concessions, and the loss of these preferential tax concessions would cause our tax liabilities to increase and our profitability to decline.

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress promulgated the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Enterprise Income Tax, or the new EIT Law, which became effective on January 1, 2008.  In accordance with the new EIT Law, the corporate income tax rate was set at 25% for all enterprises.  However, certain industries and projects, such as enterprises with foreign investors, may enjoy favorable tax treatment pursuant to the new EIT Law and its implementing rules.  We expect that our operating subsidiaries will be subject to a 15% income tax in the PRC for 2009.
 
There can be no assurance that we will continue to qualify for this preferential tax treatment or that Chinese tax regulations will remain the same.  If we do not continue to receive our reduced income tax rate, our tax liabilities will increase and our net income will decrease accordingly.

Under the new EIT Law, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” for PRC tax purposes, which may subject us to PRC enterprise income tax for any dividends we receive from our Chinese subsidiaries and to PRC income tax withholding for any dividends we pay to our non-PRC stockholders.

Under the new EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China whose “de facto management bodies” are located in China is considered a “resident enterprise” and is subject to the 25% enterprise income tax rate on its worldwide income.  The new EIT Law and its implementing rules are relatively new, and currently, no official interpretation or application of this new “resident enterprise” classification is available.  Therefore, it is unclear how tax authorities will determine the tax residency of enterprises established outside of China.

All of our management is currently based in China.  If the PRC tax authorities determine that our U.S. holding company is a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, we may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income.  The “resident enterprise” classification also could subject us to a 10% withholding tax on any dividends we pay to our non-PRC stockholders if the relevant PRC authorities determine that such income is PRC-sourced income.  In addition to the uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of the new “resident enterprise” classification, the new EIT Law may change in the future, possibly with retroactive effect.  If we are classified as a “resident enterprise” and we incur these tax liabilities, our net income will decrease accordingly.
 
Our quarterly and annual revenues and operating results are volatile and difficult to predict.
 
Our quarterly and annual revenues and operating results may vary depending on a number of factors, including, but not limited to: fluctuating customer demand, delay or timing of shipments, construction delays, changes in product mix or market acceptance of new products; manufacturing or operational difficulties that may arise due to quality control, capacity utilization of our production equipment or staffing requirements; and competition, including the introduction of new products by competitors, adoption of competitive technologies by our customers and competitive pressures on prices of our products and services. Our failure to meet quarterly or annual revenue and operating result expectations would likely adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Risks Related to the Market for Our Stock and Our Capital Structure

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of restricted common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144 or a resale prospectus. Any substantial sale of our common stock may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
 
19

 
The issuance of shares of common stock upon the exercise or conversion of outstanding securities may cause significant dilution to our stockholders and may have an adverse impact on the market price of our common stock.

As of December 31, 2008, there were 25,168,818 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock and exercise of outstanding warrants and options. The issuance of our shares upon the exercise or conversion of these securities will increase the number of shares of our common stock outstanding, which could depress the market price of our common stock.

The perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares, which would contribute to a downward movement in the stock price of our common stock. Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our common stock.
 
In the event that we issue common stock or securities convertible into common stock in the future for consideration that is less than the conversion price of our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock or the exercise prices of our outstanding warrants, the number of shares that we would be required to issue upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock would be increased and the exercise prices of the warrants would be decreased.

The terms of our outstanding convertible Series A Preferred Stock and warrants provide for a downward adjustment in the conversion price of our Series A Preferred Stock and exercise prices of the warrants in the event that we subsequently issue shares of our common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for our common stock, for consideration that is less than the conversion or exercise prices of these previously issued securities. Any reduction of the conversion price of our Series A Preferred Stock as a result of these adjustment provisions would require that we issue a greater number of shares upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock than we would have issued in the absence of these provisions. Any additional shares that we issue as a result of these adjustment provisions would cause further dilution to our existing stockholders. In addition, any reduction of the exercise price of the warrants as a result of these adjustment provisions would reduce the amount of cash that we receive in connection with an exercise of such warrants.
 
We may not be able to achieve the benefits we expect to result from the share exchange.

We may not realize the benefits that we hoped to derive as a result of the February 2007 share exchange, which include:

 
·

improved transparency of operations; and
 
·
perceived credibility and enhanced corporate image of being a publicly traded company.

In addition, the attention and effort devoted to achieving the benefits of the share exchange and attending to the obligations of being a public company, such as reporting requirements and securities regulations, could significantly divert management’s attention from operational issues, which could materially and adversely affect our operating results or stock price in the future.
 
Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure will result in additional expenses and pose challenges for our management team.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC regulations, have created uncertainty for public companies and significantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the public markets and public reporting. Our management team, which has limited experience operating a U.S. public company, will need to devote significant time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead to increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities.

Standards for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are relatively new for our Company, and if we fail to comply in a timely manner, investor confidence could be harmed and our stock price could decline.

Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act require an annual assessment of a public company’s internal control over financial reporting by management and an audit of the public company’s internal control over financial reporting by such company’s independent registered public accountants.  We completed annual assessments of our internal controls in connection with the preparation of our Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and this Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. These assessments identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The auditor’s attestation requirement will first apply to our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Since the auditor attestation process will be new for our company, we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any requested improvements and receiving an attestation by our independent registered public accountants. Since we previously have not been able to assess our internal control over financial reporting as effective, our independent registered public accountants may not be able to provide an unqualified attestation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. This may negatively impact investor confidence and our share price.
 
Our principal stockholder has the ability to control our operations, including the election of our directors.

Fame Good International Limited, a holding company controlled by our President and Chief Executive Officer, Xu Jie, is the owner of approximately 74.3% of our outstanding voting securities (excluding shares of our Series A and Series B Preferred Stock which, until converted into common stock, only vote as a class on certain matters affecting such preferred stock). As a result, Mr. Xu possesses significant influence, giving him the ability, among other things, to elect each member of our Board of Directors and to authorize or prevent proposed significant corporate transactions. His ownership and control also may have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer. Additionally, Mr. Xu’s interests may differ from the interests of our other stockholders.
 
21

 
Certain provisions of our Articles of Incorporation may make it more difficult for a third party to effect a change in control.
 
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the Board of Directors to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the Board of Directors without further action by the stockholders. These terms may include voting rights including the right to vote as a series on particular matters, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of any preferred stock could diminish the rights of holders of our common stock, and therefore could reduce the value of such common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with, or sell assets to, a third party. The ability of the Board of Directors to issue preferred stock could make it more difficult, delay, discourage, prevent or make it more costly to acquire or effect a change in control, which in turn could prevent the stockholders from recognizing a gain in the event that a favorable offer is extended and could materially and negatively affect the market price of our common stock.
 
Risks Related to Doing Business in China

Changes in China’s political or economic situation could harm us and our operating results.

Economic reforms adopted by the Chinese government have had a positive effect on the economic development of the country, but the government could change these economic reforms or any of the legal systems at any time. This could either benefit or damage our operations and profitability. Changes or events that could possibly occur, among others, include:

 
·
level of government involvement in the economy;
 
·
control of foreign exchange;
 
·
methods of allocating resources;
 
·
balance of payments position;
 
·
international trade restrictions;
 
·
international conflict; and
 
·
devaluation of the Renminbi, which is the Chinese currency.

The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD, in many ways. As a result of these differences, we may not develop in the same way or at the same rate as might be expected if the Chinese economy were similar to those of the OECD member countries.
 
22


Our business is subject to the uncertain legal environment in China.

The Chinese legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which precedents set in earlier legal cases are not generally followed. The overall effect of legislation enacted over the past 20 years has been to enhance the protections afforded to foreign investment enterprises in China. However, these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively recent and are evolving rapidly, and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to foreign investors, such as the right of foreign investment enterprises to hold licenses and permits such as requisite business licenses.
 
The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities.
 
In the last 20 years, despite a process of devolution of regulatory control to provincial and local levels and resulting economic autonomy and private economic activities, the Chinese central government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. We believe that our operations in China are in material compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. However, the central or local governments of the jurisdictions in which we operate may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations.
 
Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision to adjust economic policies or even to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties or joint ventures.
 
Any recurrence of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, or another widespread public health problem, could harm our operations.

A renewed outbreak of SARS or another widespread public health problem such as new strains of avian influenza in China could have a negative effect on our operations.

Our operations may be impacted by a number of health-related factors, including the following:

 
·
quarantines or closures of some of our manufacturing facilities or offices which would severely disrupt our operations,
 
·
the sickness or death of our key officers and employees, and
 
·
a general slowdown in the Chinese economy.

Any of the foregoing events or other unforeseen consequences of public health problems could damage our operations.
 
23


 
Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenues effectively.

The majority of our revenues are settled in Renminbi, and any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use revenue generated in Renminbi to fund any future business activities outside China or to make dividend or other payments in U.S. dollars. Although the Chinese government introduced regulations in 1996 to allow greater convertibility of the Renminbi for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain, including primarily the restriction that foreign investment enterprises may only buy, sell or remit foreign currencies after providing valid commercial documents at those banks in China authorized to conduct foreign exchange business. In addition, conversion of Renminbi for capital account items, including direct investment and loans, is subject to governmental approval in China, and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items. We cannot be certain that the Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose more stringent restrictions on the convertibility of the Renminbi.
 
The foreign currency exchange rate between U.S. Dollars and Renminbi could adversely affect our financial condition and the value of our shares.

The value of our common stock will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and Renminbi, and between those currencies and other currencies in which our sales may be denominated. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into Renminbi for our operational needs and should the Renminbi appreciate against the U.S. dollar at that time, our financial position, the business of the Company and the price of our common stock may be harmed. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of declaring dividends on our capital stock or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the Renminbi, the U.S. dollar equivalent of our earnings from our subsidiaries in China would be reduced.

Until 1994, the Renminbi experienced a gradual but significant devaluation against most major currencies, including the U.S. dollar, and there was a significant devaluation of the Renminbi on January 1, 1994 in connection with the replacement of the dual exchange rate system with a unified managed floating rate foreign exchange system. Since 1994, the value of the Renminbi relative to the U.S. dollar has remained stable and has appreciated against the U.S. dollar. Countries, including the United States, have argued that the Renminbi is artificially undervalued due to China’s current monetary policies and have pressured China to allow the Renminbi to float freely in world markets. In July 2005, the PRC government changed its 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 designated foreign currencies. Since then, the Renminbi has appreciated by more than 20% against the U.S. dollar. While the international reaction to the Renminbi revaluation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in further and more significant appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar.

Inflation in the PRC could negatively affect our profitability and growth.

While the PRC economy has experienced rapid growth, such growth has been uneven among various sectors of the economy and in different geographical areas of the country. Rapid economic growth can lead to growth in the money supply and rising inflation. During the past 15 years, the rate of inflation in China has been as high as approximately 20% and China has experienced deflation as low as approximately minus 2%. If prices for our products and services rise at a rate that is insufficient to compensate for the rise in the costs of supplies such as raw materials, it may have an adverse effect on our profitability.
 
24


 
PRC regulations relating to acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign entities may create regulatory uncertainties that could restrict or limit our ability to operate.

In October 2005, the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, issued a Notice on Relevant Issues concerning Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Residents to Engage in Financing and in Return Investment via Overseas Special Purpose Companies.

In accordance with the notice, if an acquisition of a PRC company by an offshore company controlled by PRC residents has been confirmed by a Foreign Investment Enterprise Certificate prior to the promulgation of the notice, the PRC residents must each submit a registration form to the local provincial SAFE branch with respect to their establishment of an offshore company and also must file an amendment to such registration if the offshore company experiences material events, such as changes in the share capital, share transfer, mergers and acquisitions, spin-off transaction or use of assets in China to guarantee offshore obligations. The notice also provides that failure to comply with the registration procedures set forth therein may result in restrictions on our PRC resident stockholders and subsidiaries. Pending the promulgation of detailed implementation rules, the relevant government authorities are reluctant to commence processing any registration or application for approval required under the SAFE notices.
 
In addition, on August 8, 2006, the Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”), joined by the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, State Administration of Taxation, State Administration for Industry and Commerce, China Securities Regulatory Commission and SAFE, amended and released the Provisions for Foreign Investors to Merge and Acquire Domestic Enterprises, new foreign-investment rules which took effect September 8, 2006, superseding much, but not all, of the guidance in the prior SAFE circulars. These new rules significantly revised China’s regulatory framework governing onshore-offshore restructurings and how foreign investors can acquire domestic enterprises. These new rules signify greater PRC government attention to cross-border merger, acquisition and other investment activities, by confirming MOFCOM as a key regulator for issues related to mergers and acquisitions in China and requiring MOFCOM approval of a broad range of merger, acquisition and investment transactions. Further, the new rules establish reporting requirements for acquisition of control by foreigners of companies in key industries, and reinforce the ability of the Chinese government to monitor and prohibit foreign control transactions in key industries.

These new rules may significantly affect the means by which onshore-offshore restructurings are undertaken in China in connection with offshore private equity and venture capital financings, mergers and acquisitions. It is expected that such transactional activity in China in the near future will require significant case-by-case guidance from MOFCOM and other government authorities as appropriate. It is anticipated that application of the new rules will be subject to significant administrative interpretation, and we will need to closely monitor how MOFCOM and other ministries apply the rules to ensure that our PRC and offshore activities continue to comply with PRC law. Given the uncertainties regarding interpretation and application of the new rules, we may need to expend significant time and resources to maintain compliance.
 
It is uncertain how our business operations or future strategy will be affected by the interpretations and implementation of the SAFE notices and new rules.

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. In addition, we are required to maintain records that accurately and fairly represent our transactions and have an adequate system of internal accounting controls. Chinese companies and some other foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, are not subject to these prohibitions, and therefore may have a competitive advantage over us. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time to time in the PRC, and our executive officers and employees have not been subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prior to the completion of the share exchange in February 2007. We can make no assurance 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.

We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in the PRC.

PRC companies historically have not adopted a Western style of management and financial reporting concepts and practices, which includes strong corporate governance, internal controls and computer, financial and other control systems. As a result, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet standards required of U.S. public companies. Therefore, we may, in turn, experience difficulties in implementing and maintaining adequate internal controls as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This may result in significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls which could impact the reliability of our financial statements and prevent us from complying with SEC rules and regulations and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Any such deficiencies, weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
Our business may be adversely affected as a result of China’s entry into the World Trade Organization (“WTO”) because the preferential tax treatments available to us may be discontinued and foreign manufacturers may compete with us in the PRC.

The PRC became a member of the WTO on December 11, 2001. The current tax benefits that we enjoy may be discontinued as a result of the PRC’s membership in the WTO. If this happened, our profitability would be adversely affected. In addition, we may face additional competition from foreign manufacturers if they set up their production facilities in the PRC or form Sino-foreign joint ventures with our competitors in the PRC. In the event that we fail to maintain our competitiveness against these competitors, our profitability may be adversely affected.
 
You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original legal actions in China based upon U.S. laws, including the federal securities laws or other foreign laws, against us or our management.

Almost all of our current operations are conducted in China. Moreover, the majority of our officers and directors are currently nationals and residents of China. All or substantially all of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States and in the PRC. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process upon these persons within the United States or elsewhere outside China. In addition, uncertainty exists as to whether the courts of China would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our officers and/or directors predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof, or be competent to hear original legal actions brought in China against us or such persons predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.

Item 6.           Selected Financial Data.

As a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.

Item 7.           Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

As a result of the share exchange or “reverse acquisition” transaction consummated on February 7, 2007, the Company became a holding company conducting operations through three indirect operating subsidiaries: Wuhan Blower Wuhan Generating and Wuhan Xingelin Equipment, each a company operating in China. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, UFG, owns 100% of the capital stock of Wuhan Blower, which in turn owns 100% of the capital stock of Wuhan Generating. Wuhan Blower owns over 99% of the capital stock of Wuhan Xingelin Equipment.
 
For accounting purposes, the share exchange transaction is treated as a reverse acquisition with UFG as the acquirer and the Company as the acquired party. As a result, the Company is deemed to be a continuation of the business of UFG. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are those of the accounting acquirer (UFG). The historical stockholders’ equity of the accounting acquirer prior to the share exchange has been retroactively restated as if the share exchange transaction occurred as of the beginning of the first period presented.

The information and data contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations reflect the operating results and financial condition for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
 
29

 
Year Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2007

Sales. Sales increased $36.13 million, or 43.79%, to $118.63 million in 2008 from $82.50 million in 2007. This increase was mainly attributable to the increased demand for anti-pollution equipment in China and revenue from the construction of a thermal electric power plant in Jiangyin, Jiangsu.

Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales increased $27.01 million, or 47.04%, to $84.44 million in 2008 from $57.43 million in 2007. This increase was due to the significant increase in sales and higher cost of materials.  As a percentage of sales, the cost of sales was 71.18% in 2008 compared to 69.61% in 2007.  This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in the cost of materials.
 
Gross Profit. Our gross profit increased $9.12 million to $34.19 million in 2008 from $25.07 million in 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 28.82% in 2008 compared to 30.39% in 2007.

Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses increased $1.61 million, or 92.16%, to $3.35 million in 2008 compared to $1.74 million in 2007. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses were 2.82% in 2008 compared to 2.11% in 2007. This increase as a percentage of sales was primarily attributable to increased marketing efforts.

General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased $2.14 million, or 38.07%, to $7.75 million in 2008 from $5.62 million in 2007. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses were 6.54% in 2008 compared to 6.81% in 2007. This decrease as a percentage of sales was primarily attributable to increased cost control efforts.
  
Operating Income. Our operating income increased $6.22 million, or 37.94%, to $22.62 million in 2008 from $16.40 million in 2007. As a percentage of sales, operating income was 19.07% in 2008 compared to 19.88% in 2007. This decrease was primarily attributable to increased cost of materials and increased marketing efforts.

Other Income. Our other income increased $944,581 to $986,678 in 2008 from $42,097 in 2007. As a percentage of sales, other income was 0.83% in 2008 compared to 0.05% in 2007.
 
Interest Expense. Our interest expense increased $0.67 million, or 50.63%, to $1.99 million in 2008 from $1.32 million in 2007. This increase was attributable to an increase in bank loans and bank notes to fund our significant growth.  In addition, the average bank loan interest rate was higher in 2008 than in 2007.

Income Taxes. Due to a tax exemption, Wuhan Blower and Wuhan Generating were exempt from Chinese tax liability in 2008 and 2007. Wuhan Xingelin Equipment was in a loss position and consequently did not incur any tax liability.

Net Income. Net income increased $1.28 million, or 8.60%, to $16.15 million in 2008 from $14.87 million in 2007, as a result of the factors described above and a non-cash charge of $5.36 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of December 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) of $16.00 million.

We plan to either repay this debt as it matures or refinance this debt with other debt.  For the year ended December 31, 2008, the amount of our outstanding debt from bank loans and notes has increased $8.50 million.  This significant increase in debt was necessary to fund the cost of our rapid growth.

On February 7, 2007, immediately following the consummation of the share exchange, we completed a private placement of Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to accredited investors. As a result of this private placement, we received approximately $24.0 million in gross proceeds. After the deduction of sales commissions and offering expenses, we received approximately $20.0 million in net proceeds.

On September 29, 2008, the Company raised approximately $11.8 million in gross proceeds from the exercise of a portion of the Company’s Series J warrants. These warrant holders exercised the Series J warrants for 5,006,524 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, which is convertible on a one-to-one basis for the Company’s common stock. The Company paid approximately $1.18 million in commissions in connection with these warrant exercises.

In October and November 2008, the Company raised approximately $3.03 million in gross proceeds from additional exercises of Series J warrants. These warrants were exercised for 1,302,554 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock and the Company paid approximately $303,500 in commissions in connection with these warrant exercises.

The Company believes that its currently available working capital, combined with cash from operations, should be adequate to sustain operations at current levels through at least the next 12 months. In order to continue the pace of the Company’s recent growth, the Company may need additional capital.

At December 31, 2008, we had $41.49 million in accounts receivable.  The majority of our customers pay us in installments at various stages of project completion. The percentage of the purchase price due at the various stages varies somewhat between contracts. In our standard sales contract, we receive 60% of the purchase price of a piece of equipment at the time of delivery. Alternatively, some sales contracts provide for 30% due upon signing and 30% due upon delivery. We generally receive an additional 30% of the purchase price when the equipment is installed and runs without problem for 72 hours. However, since our equipment is generally a component of a larger project, there are times that customers do not allow us to install the equipment immediately upon delivery. We generally receive the final 10% at 18 months following the installation. Although the payment terms in our standard sales contract result in a long payment cycle, we believe our payment terms are typical in our industry in China. Nonetheless, we are seeking more aggressive payment schedules on new sales contracts in order to improve our liquidity position.
 
33

 
In 2008, we employed additional resources in collecting on outstanding accounts receivable. In 2008, our accounts receivable grew $9.61 million. During 2008, our sales grew $36.13 million. We believe that this demonstrates the benefits of more aggressive management of our accounts receivable.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, our accounts receivable increased $9.61 million, or 30.15%.  Since our sales increased 43.79% for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the prior fiscal year, we believe the significant growth in accounts receivable during this period was primarily the result of our rapid sales growth.  We further believe that a comparison of accounts receivable growth to sales growth for this period demonstrates our more aggressive management of accounts receivable during this period.
 
At December 31, 2008, we had $1.72 million in other receivables, compared to $1.98 million at December 31, 2007.
 
We also had advances to suppliers of $20.27 million at December 31, 2008, which increased by $7.53 million compared to the balance as of December 31, 2007.  The increase was mainly due to some large payments made at the end of 2008 to some suppliers for electrical power generators and raw materials.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require the more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of financial statements, including the following:

Method of Accounting: We maintain our general ledger and journals with the accrual method of accounting for financial reporting purposes. The financial statements and notes are representations of management. Accounting policies that we have adopted conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the presentation of financial statements, which are compiled on the accrual basis of accounting.

Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, UFG, Wuhan Blower, Wuhan Generating and Wuhan Xingelin Equipment. Inter-company transactions, such as sales, cost of sales, due to/due from balances, investment in subsidiaries, and subsidiaries’ capitalization have been eliminated.
 
34


Economic and Political Risks: Our operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, our 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.

Use of Estimates: In preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting years. These estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, deferred income taxes and the estimation of useful lives of property, plant and equipment. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: We consider all cash and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We maintain bank accounts in the PRC.
 
Accounts Receivable-Trade: Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Pursuant to the Company’s accounting policies, the allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by applying a rate of five percent on outstanding trade receivables.  In addition, the Company uses a specific review process to determine if any additional allowances for doubtful accounts are required.  Bad debts are charged against the allowance when outstanding trade receivables have been determined to be uncollectible. 

Inventory: Inventory, consisting of raw materials, work in progress, and finished products, is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Finished products are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead.
 
Property, Plant, and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method with 5% salvage value. Estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Buildings
30 years
Machinery and Equipment
10 years
Furniture and Fixtures
5 years
Motor Vehicles
5 years
 
Intangible Assets: Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided over the respective useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of intangibles are as follows:

Technical Licenses
10 years
Trademark
20 years
 
Land Use Rights: We carry land use rights at cost less accumulated amortization. Land use rights are amortized straight-line over the useful life of 50 years for the Wuhan Blower and Wuhan Generating campus and of 30 years for Wuhan Xingelin Equipment campus.
 
35

 
Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. We periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, we believe that, as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, there were no significant impairments of long-lived assets.
 
Revenue Recognition: Revenue from the sale of blower products and generating equipment is recognized at the time of the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally occurs when the goods are delivered to customers and the title passes.  There are no customer acceptance clauses in the Company’s standard sales contracts.  Typically, installation begins between one to two weeks following delivery of the product.  The installation process typically takes four to eight weeks.
 
Cost of Sales: Our cost of sales is comprised of raw materials, factory worker salaries and related benefits, machinery supplies, maintenance supplies, depreciation, utilities, inbound freight, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection and warehousing costs.

Selling Expenses: Selling expenses are comprised of outbound freight, salary for the sales force, client entertainment, commissions, depreciation, advertising, and travel and lodging expenses.

General & Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses include outside consulting services, research & development, executive compensation, quality control, and general overhead such as the finance department, administrative staff, and depreciation and amortization expense.
 
Advertising: We expense all advertising costs as incurred.
 
Research and Development: We expense all research and development costs as incurred.

Foreign Currency Translation: We maintain our financial statements in the functional currency, which is the Renminbi (RMB). Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchanges rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.
 
For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements, which are prepared using the functional currency, have been translated into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and stockholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity.

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.

Income Taxes: We use the accrual method of accounting to determine and report its taxable reduction of income taxes for the year in which they are available. We have implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Income tax liabilities computed according to the U.S. and PRC tax laws are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of fixed assets and intangible assets for financial and tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be either taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future income taxes. A valuation allowance is created to evaluate deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize that tax benefit, or that future realization is uncertain.

Effective January 1, 2008, PRC government implemented a new 25% tax rate across the board for all enterprises regardless of whether domestic or foreign enterprise without any tax holiday which is defined as "two-year exemption followed by three-year half exemption" hitherto enjoyed by tax payers. As a result of the new tax law of a standard 15% tax rate, tax holidays terminated as of December 31, 2007. However, PRC government has established a set of transition rules to allow enterprises already started tax holidays before January 1, 2008, to continue enjoying the tax holidays until being fully utilized.

We are subject to U.S. income tax according to Internal Revenue Code Sections 951 and 957. Corporate income tax is imposed on progressive rates in the range of:

Taxable Income
 
Rate

But Not Over

    18,333,333       -       -  

Based on the consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2008, we were not subject to U.S. income tax.

Statutory Reserve: In accordance with PRC laws, statutory reserve refers to the appropriation from net income, to the account “statutory reserve” to be used for future company development, recovery of losses, and increase of capital, as approved, to expand production or operations. PRC laws prescribe that an enterprise operating at a profit, must appropriate, on an annual basis, an amount equal to 10% of its profit. Such an appropriation is necessary until the reserve reaches a maximum that is equal to 50% of the enterprise’s PRC registered capital.

 
37

 

Other 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. Our current component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.
 
Warranty Policy: The estimation of warranty obligations is determined in the same period that revenue from the sale of the related products is recognized. The warranty obligation is based on historical experience and reflects management’s best estimate of expected costs at the time products are sold. Warranty accruals are adjusted for known or anticipated warranty claims as new information becomes available. Future events and circumstances could materially change our estimates and require adjustments to the warranty obligation. New product launches require a greater use of judgment in developing estimates until historical experience becomes available.
 
Earnings Per Share: Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method for warrants and the as-if method for convertible securities. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding warrants and convertible preferred stock.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 161 requires entities to provide greater transparency about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS 162"). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the GAAP hierarchy). Statement 162 will become effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles."

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 14-1 "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" ("FSP APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis.

 
38

 

In September 2008, FASB issued FSP No. 133-1 and FIN 45-4, “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees”, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161. This FSP is intended to improve disclosures about credit derivatives by requiring more information about the potential adverse effects of changes in credit risk on the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of the sellers of credit derivatives.  The provisions of the FSP that amend Statement 133 and FIN 45 are effective for reporting periods (annual or interim) ending after November 15, 2008.

We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of the above recent accounting pronouncements on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 9A.
Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008.  Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

 
39

 

Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures contained significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. We believe that the deficiencies and weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures result from weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which is described below.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 
(i)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

 
(ii)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

 
(iii)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of preventing and detecting misstatements on a timely basis.  Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures.

Management of the Company, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.  In making this evaluation, management used the criteria set forth in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).  Based on this evaluation, we concluded that we had material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.  The following is a description of each deficiency or weakness with respect to our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the management evaluation and the remediation initiatives that we have implemented or intend to implement in the near future.

 
40

 

 
1)
The Company must provide regular training to its employees regarding the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and other relevant policies.

Remediation Initiative

 
The Company has an established Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and it will implement regular training sessions with its staff to explain the Company’s policies.  Further, the Company will require all employees to sign a confirmation to acknowledge their understanding of the Company’s policies.

 
2)
The current accounting staff lacks sufficient depth, skill and experience with U.S. GAAP reporting.  Further, the Company must establish an internal audit department that reports to the Audit Committee.

Remediation Initiative

 
We are seeking additional accountants experienced in several key areas of accounting, including persons with experience in U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting requirements.  We also plan to provide regular training to our accounting staff regarding U.S. GAAP reconciliation and disclosures in financial reports. We also are in the process of establishing an internal audit department for the Company.

 
3)
The Company lacks a formal information technology department to manage the Company’s information technology operations and risk assessment framework.

Remediation Initiative

We plan to establish a formal information technology department with clearly defined functions.  We also plan to establish an appropriate risk assessment standard with assistance from outside consultants.

Because material weaknesses exist, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 was not effective.  In order to resolve these weaknesses, we have engaged a consultant to provide us guidance on the improvement of our internal control over financial reporting.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the remediation measures described above, during the year ended December 31, 2008, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Registered Independent Public Accounting Firm

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wuhan General Group (China), Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Wuhan General Group (China), Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Wuhan General Group (China), Inc. (the “Company”) is a holding company whose primary business operations are conducted through its operating subsidiaries Wuhan Blower Co., Ltd. (“Wuhan Blower”), Wuhan Generating Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Wuhan Generating Equipment”), and Wuhan Xingelin Machinery Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (“Wuhan Xingelin Equipment”).  Wuhan Blower is a China-based manufacturer of industrial blowers that principally are components of steam driven electrical power generation plants.  Wuhan Generating Equipment is a China-based manufacturer of industrial steam and water turbines, also principally for use in electrical power generation plants.  Wuhan Xingelin Equipment is a China-based manufacturer of blower silencers, connectors, and other general spare parts for blowers and electrical equipment.

The Company was formed under the laws of the State of Colorado on July 19, 1988 as Riverside Capital, Inc.  On March 18, 1992, the Company changed its name to United National Film Corporation.  In June 2001, the Company suspended all business activities and became a “shell company.”

In 2006, the Company effectively dissolved or abandoned all subsidiaries, which may or may not have been active in periods prior to June 2001.  On October 20, 2006, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Colorado to Nevada by means of a merger with and into a Nevada corporation formed on September 12, 2006 solely for the purpose of effecting the reincorporation.

On February 7, 2007, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Fame Good International Limited (“Fame”) and Universe Faith Group Limited (“UFG”).  Prior to the share exchange, Fame was the sole stockholder of UFG, which is the parent company of Wuhan Blower and Wuhan Generating Equipment.  Pursuant to the share exchange, UFG became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Fame became the Company’s controlling stockholder.  On March 13, 2007, the Company changed its name from United National Film Corporation to Wuhan General Group (China), Inc.

The share exchange transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of UFG where the Company (the legal acquirer) is considered the accounting acquiree and UFG (the legal acquiree) is considered the accounting acquirer.  As a result of this transaction, the Company is deemed to be a continuation of the business of UFG.

Accordingly, the financial data included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods prior to February 7, 2007 is that of the accounting acquirer (UFG).  The historical stockholders’ equity of the accounting acquirer prior to the share exchange has been retroactively restated as if the share exchange transaction occurred as of the beginning of the first period presented.
 
On December 25, 2008, Wuhan Blower, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Wuhan Gongchuang Real Estate Co., Ltd. (the “Seller”) pursuant to which Wuhan Blower acquired certain assets owned by Seller, including certain buildings, equipment, land use rights, and construction in progress.  An 8-K filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 2009 further details the transaction.  Title of the assets purchased under the above agreement has been recorded under Wuhan Xingelin Equipment.  Wuhan Blower currently owns 98% beneficial interest in Wuhan Xingelin Equipment.  Upon completion of registration of local authorities Wuhan Blower will beneficially own 100% interest in Wuhan Xingelin Equipment.  Wuhan Xingelin Equipment is incorporated under the laws of the PRC.  The purchased assets have been accounted for on Wuhan Xingelin Equipment’s books as contributed capital.

The assets that were purchased from the Seller were re-appraised by an independent appraisal firm Zhuhai GongPingSiYuan Appraising Co Ltd  (“Zhuhai”).  The re-appraisal found that the purchase price of the assets was not materially unfair.  Zhuhai believes that when the entire construction of the workshop and buildings is completed, the purchase price should be considered fair.  Zhuhai noted that certain documents are in the process of registration with local government authorities.  See also Note 8 – Property, Plant, and Equipment.

The Company maintains its general ledger and journals with the accrual method of 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, which are compiled on the accrual basis of accounting.

(b)
Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, UFG, Wuhan Blower, Wuhan Generating Equipment and Wuhan Xingelin Equipment.  Inter-company transactions, such as sales, cost of sales, due to/due from balances, investment in subsidiaries, and subsidiaries’ capitalization have been eliminated.

(c)
Economic and Political Risks

The Company’s operations are conducted in the People’s Republic of China (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.

(d)
Use of Estimates

In preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting years.  These estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, deferred income taxes and the estimation of useful lives of property, plant, and equipment.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(e)
Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all cash and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The company maintains bank accounts in the PRC.

 
(f)
Accounts Receivable-Trade

Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts.  An allowance for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable.  Pursuant to the Company’s accounting policies, the allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by applying a rate of five percent on outstanding trade receivables.  In addition, the Company uses a specific review process to determine if any additional allowances for doubtful accounts are required.  Bad debts are charged against the allowance when outstanding trade receivables have been determined to be uncollectible.  See also Note 5 – Accounts Receivable.

(g)
Inventory

Inventory, consisting of raw materials, work in progress, and finished products, is stated at the lower of cost or market value.  Finished products are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead.

(h) 
Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method with 5% salvage value. Estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Buildings
30 years
Machinery and Equipment
10 years
Furniture and Fixtures
  5 years
Motor Vehicles
  5 years
 
 
(i)

Technical Licenses
10 years
Trademark
20 years

 
(j)
Land Use Rights

The Company carries land use rights at cost less accumulated amortization.  Land use rights are amortized straight-line over the useful life of 50 years for the Wuhan Blower and Wuhan Generating campus, and of 30 years for the Wuhan Xingelin Equipment campus.

(k)
Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.  The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144.  SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts.  In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets.  Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal.  Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.

 
(l)
Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the sale of blower products and generating equipment is recognized at the time of the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally occurs when the goods are delivered to customers and the title passes.  There are no customer acceptance clauses in the Company’s standard sales contracts.  Typically, installation begins between one to two weeks following delivery of the product.  The installation process typically takes four to eight weeks.
 
(m)
Cost of Sales

The Company’s cost of sales is comprised of raw materials, factory worker salaries and related benefits, machinery supplies, maintenance supplies, depreciation, utilities, inbound freight, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection and warehousing costs.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company maintains its financial statements in the functional currency, which is the Renminbi (RMB).  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates.  Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchanges rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction.  Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.

For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company, which are prepared using the functional currency, have been translated into United States dollars.  Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and stockholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates.  Translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity.

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.

(s)
Income Taxes

The Company uses the accrual method of accounting to determine and report its taxable reduction of income taxes for the year in which they are available. The Company has implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Income tax liabilities computed according to the United States and People’s Republic of China (PRC) tax laws are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of fixed assets and intangible assets for financial and tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be either taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future income taxes. A valuation allowance is created to evaluate deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize that tax benefit, or that future realization is uncertain.

Warranty Policy

The estimation of warranty obligations is determined in the same period that revenue from the sale of the related products is recognized. The warranty obligation is based on historical experience and reflects management’s best estimate of expected costs at the time products are sold. Warranty accruals are adjusted for known or anticipated warranty claims as new information becomes available. Future events and circumstances could materially change the estimates and require adjustments to the warranty obligation. New product launches require a greater use of judgment in developing estimates until historical experience becomes available.  See also Note 14 – Warranty Liability.

(w)
Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method for warrants and the as-if method for convertible securities.  Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding warrants, and convertible preferred stock.  See also Note 18 – Earnings Per Share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 161 requires entities to provide greater transparency about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS 162"). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the GAAP hierarchy). Statement 162 will become effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles."

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 14-1 "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" ("FSP APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis.

In September 2008, FASB issued FSP No. 133-1 and FIN 45-4, “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees”, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161. This FSP is intended to improve disclosures about credit derivatives by requiring more information about the potential adverse effects of changes in credit risk on the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of the sellers of credit derivatives.  The provisions of the FSP that amend Statement 133 and FIN 45 are effective for reporting periods (annual or interim) ending after November 15, 2008.

There were no Notes Receivable at December 31, 2008.  Notes Receivable are typically in the form of bank drafts from customers.  Bank drafts are liquid instruments that can be either (a) endorsed to the Company’s vendors, or (b) discounted to the Company’s own bank.  The Company chooses to carry these instruments as notes receivable instead of cash primarily because of the associated time element of these notes, as they are normally due at a later point in time; therefore, these bank drafts represent different risk and reward characteristics.

Wuhan Generating Equipment accrued an expense for estimated warranty liabilities in the year ended December 31, 2007.  The subsidiary originally carried the expense under selling expense; it has been regrouped under the warranty expense line item, along with the consolidated amount from Wuhan Blower.  This reclassification had no impact to prior earnings but is merely a change in presentation.

CAPITALIZATION

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

On September 5, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement to Amend Series J Warrants of the Company with holders of warrants exercisable for a majority of the shares of warrant stock issuable under the Company’s Series A, B and J warrants. This agreement amended the Series J Warrants so that such warrants are exercisable for shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). Prior to this agreement, such warrants were exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock.

In connection with this agreement, the Company designated 9,358,370 shares of preferred stock as “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share” with those rights and preferences as set forth in the Certificate of Designation of the Relative Rights and Preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock of the Company. The Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock and junior to the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of the Company’s common stock.  Except with respect to specified transactions that may affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of the Series B Preferred Stock and except as otherwise required by Nevada law, the Series B Preferred Stock has no voting rights.  The Series B Preferred Stock is non-redeemable and is not entitled to dividends.  When accounting for the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company determined that they qualified as equity because the aforementioned characteristics made them akin to common stock.

Investors holding the amended Series J Warrants exercised their right to purchase Series B Preferred Stock at $2.33 per share.  For the year ended December 31, 2008, certain investors exercised their amended Series J Warrants for a total of 6,369,078 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Company received gross proceeds of $14,839,952 for the issuance of those shares in connection with the exercise of the Series J Warrants.  The total amount of commission paid to the placement agent, 1st Bridgehouse Securities, was 10% of the gross proceeds, or $1,483,995.  The Company also paid a total of $274,480 for other financing related expenses.  The net proceeds from the transactions, after accounting for placement agent commissions and other related financing expenses, was $13,081,477.

Simultaneously with the exercise of a portion of the Series J Warrants, a corresponding portion of the Series B and Series JJ Warrants became exercisable. Accordingly, the Company accounted for the net proceeds of this issuance by allocating to Par Value, Additional Paid in Capital attributable to Series B Preferred Stock, and Additional Paid in Capital attributable to Series B and JJ Warrants.  The Company determined that the Series B Preferred Stock had a beneficial conversion feature (BCF).  Accordingly, the Company accounted for this BCF as a constructive preferred dividend, which is a charge that reduces retained earnings and increases additional paid in capital attributable to the Series B Preferred Stock.  The Company also transferred a prorated portion of proceeds previously recorded under Warrants A, J, B, and C to the Additional Paid in Capital of Series B Preferred Stock to reflect the exercise of the amended Series J Warrants.

Penalty Shares

Certain investors were issued shares of common stock as a penalty for the Company’s failure to achieve listing status on NASDAQ by a predetermined date, which was a term stipulated in the Stock Purchase Agreement dated February 7, 2007.  During the year ended December 31, 2008, certain investors were awarded an aggregate of 863,894 shares of common stock.  The Company recorded expenses to its statements of income for the issuance of these shares totaling $5,355,233.  Spring House Capital provided the valuation of the shares used in determining the amount of expense as $6.35, $7.83, and $5.30, which relate to March 18, 2008, May 30, 2008, and September 3, 2008, respectively.  These were the dates of issuance of the penalty shares.  The Company, at the end of the third quarter of 2008, carried the penalty expense on the income statement under the line item of other expense in the amount of approximately $1.3 million.  After receipt of the valuation of the shares by Spring House Capital, the Company revised the amount of expense to be charged to the income statement.  In consideration of the magnitude of the expense relative of the operating income of the Company, the Company reclassified the expense to its own line item on the income statement.

Exercise of Series C Warrants

During the year ended December 31, 2008, one holder of Series C Warrants exercised the right to purchase 205,751 shares of common stock.  The transaction was a cashless exercise.  Accordingly, the Company issued to the holder 115,361 shares of common stock and cancelled warrants with the rights to purchase 90,390 of common stock.

INCOME TAXES

All of the Company’s operations are in the PRC, and in accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of PRC, the corporation income tax rate is 25%; however, the Company was approved as a foreign investment enterprise in March 2007, and in accordance with the relevant regulations regarding the favorable tax treatment for a foreign investment enterprise, the Company is entitled to a two-year tax exemption followed by a three-year half exemption.  For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company was still within the two year tax exemption period, and accordingly, made no provision for income taxes.  The Company’s operating subsidiaries expect to be subject to a 15% income tax rate for the fiscal year 2009, starting January 1, 2009.

Effective January 1, 2008, PRC government implemented a new 25% tax rate for all enterprises regardless of whether domestic or foreign enterprise without any tax holiday, which is defined as a "two-year exemption followed by three-year half exemption" hitherto enjoyed by tax payers.  As a result of the new tax law, the previous tax holidays are terminated as of December 31, 2007. However, the PRC government has established a set of transition rules that permit enterprises that had received an income tax exemption prior to January 1, 2008 to continue to enjoy such exemption until the original expiration date.

On February 7, 2007, income from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries became subject to U.S. income tax law; however, this tax is deferred until foreign source income is repatriated to the Company, which has not yet occurred.

The Company has also retained an U.S. CPA firm to aide in preparation of its U.S. income tax returns in order to maintain a high level of compliance with U.S. tax laws.

STOCK COMPENSATION EXPENSE

On November 30, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Wuhan General Group (China), Inc. 2007 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”).  The Plan provides that the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued under the Plan is 3,000,000 shares.  The Company’s employees, directors, and service providers are eligible to participate in the Plan.

For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded $227,603 and $14,479 of stock compensation expense, respectively.  The entire stock option compensation expenses were recorded as general and administrative expenses given the nature of the work contribution of the grantees.

The range of the exercise prices of the stock options granted since inception of the plan are shown in the following table:

Price Range
 
Number of Shares
$0 - $9.99
 
120,000 shares
$10.00 - $19.99
 
0 shares
$20.00 - $29.99
 
0 shares

No tax benefit has yet to be accrued or realized.  For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company operated as an income tax-free entity in the PRC, and the Company has yet to repatriate its earnings, accordingly it has not recognized any deferred tax assets or liability in regards to benefits derived from the issuance of stock options.

The Company used the Black-Scholes Model to value the options granted.  The following shows the weighted average fair value of the grants and the assumptions that were employed in the model:
 
Weighted-average fair value of grants:
  $ 0.8665  
Risk-free interest rate:
    3.97 %

MAJOR DEVELOPMENT IN SALES

In July 2007, the Company entered into a contract with Jiangsu Huangli Paper Industry Co., Ltd. to build a thermal electric power plant with four boiler furnaces and two turbine generator groups in Jiangyin, Jiangsu. The Company expects to receive approximately $26.37 million to construct this power plant, and this total amount will be paid to the Company in monthly payments over a period of one year. If Jiangsu Huangli fails to make timely payments to the Company, the Company is contractually bound to assume the cost to continue with the construction of the power plant.  If the Company is required to assume construction costs, the power plant project would become a joint venture between the Company and Jiangsu Huangli.  The Company has not encountered any delinquency by Jiangsu Huangli in making payments for the power plant.  At December 31, 2008, the project was near completion.  The final completion of the project is expected to be around June 2009.  The progress of the project was slowed by poor weather conditions in 2008.

The Company records revenue for the contract with Huangli under the percentage of completion method.  The Company obtains independent certification of completion in order to determine the progress of the contract.

The Company does not plan to use the power plant as part of its own operations.  Huangli is located in the Jiangsu Province, and the Company is located in the Hubei Province.  The two companies are too far apart in physical distance for the power plant to be able to provide electricity for the manufacture of Wuhan General’s products; however, in the event that the power plant becomes a joint venture between Huangli and the Company, the joint venture will sell electricity to Huangli.

Jiangsu Huangli Paper Industry Co., Ltd. is not a related party.

For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded revenue of $13,640,662 and $9,914,522, respectively.  The concurrent cost of sales were $8,662,491 and $7,627,884.  The related gross profit for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $4,978,171 and $2,286,638.

CONSTRUCTIVE PREFERRED DIVIDEND

In accordance with FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, EITF 98-95 Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF 00-27 Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments, the Company has recorded two non-cash preferred dividends against the companies retained earnings in the amounts of $4,032,656, and $10,501,982 in 2008, and 2007, respectively.  These constructive preferred dividends reflect the amortizations of the beneficial conversion feature of both the Series A Preferred Stock, and Series B Preferred Stock issued by the Company in its private placement financing transactions in February of 2007, and October and November of 2008.  The beneficial conversion features are considered returns of capital to the investors in the private placements.  Since the two series of preferred stock were convertible upon issuance the Company recognized the entire dividend at inception.  The beneficial conversion features arose from the aggregate value of the differences between the effective conversion prices of the securities and the contractual conversion prices of the stock issuances in the financing transactions.
