Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas that require estimates and assumptions include valuation of accounts receivable and inventory, determination of useful lives of property and equipment, estimation of certain liabilities and sales returns. Cash and Equivalents Cash and equivalents include cash in hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists of monies restricted by the Company’s lender and monies restricted under letters of credit and bank acceptances. Accounts Receivable The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. The Company has not incurred any bad debts to date. If the Company finds there is a possibility that the Company may incur a bad debt, the Company will accrue the appropriate allowance based on the aging of our accounts receivables. The Company’s policy is to accrue the full amount of account receivables when their aging exceeds one year. Based on historical collection activity, the Company did not record any bad debt allowance at December 31, 2011 and 2010. The Company sells products in the China domestic market through a range of distribution outlets including regional and national wholesalers and third party distributors. The standard term of payment of accounts receivables for several of the Company’s large and established China domestic retailer customers is 180 days from the close of the billing cycle, which is 30 – 45 days after the Company’s products are delivered to the customer. This accounts receivable term is customary for large and established China domestic retailers. Historically, the Company has not experienced late payments or bad debts under such terms from these retailers. The term of payment of accounts receivable for the Company’s other China domestic customers is 30 – 90 days from the close of the billing cycle. The Company provides its major customers with payment terms based on their payment history, amount they have purchased in the past, and upon any strategic agreement the Company may have with them. As the Company continues to focus on expanding sales to the China domestic market, the Company’s sales to the China domestic market may represent a larger percentage of the Company’s total revenue. The Company anticipates that its accounts receivable will remain in line with standard industry practice relating to accounts receivable in China, which could be up to seven months. The Company sells products to overseas customers in the export markets under letters of credit, prepaid arrangements, certain short credit terms or direct customer purchase orders. As of December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, approximately 43% and 29%, respectively, of its accounts receivable was from overseas customers. The Company's export sales-related accounts receivable typically are less than three months, depending on customer shipment schedules. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant bad debts from export sales. The Company also maintains a substantial amount of export insurance that covers losses arising from customers’ rejection of its products, political risk, losses arising from business credit and other credit risks including bankruptcy, insolvency and delay in payment. The Company believes its accounts receivable will be collected in the ordinary course of business within seven months as the Company has established relationships with many of its major customers. In addition, the Company’s domestic customers typically pay according to the Company’s payment terms and the Company maintains insurance for its accounts receivable with respect to its international customers. The table below provides account receivable roll forward schedules for our three largest clients----SuNing, Gome and Reed Sea. Song Qiao is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SuNing.

VAT Receivables VAT receivables are VAT rebates which arise from our purchase of raw materials. VAT receivables are returned to the Company or offset against VAT payable. The Company anticipates collecting its VAT receivables within one year. The Company does not experience credit losses with respect to VAT receivables because they are owed to the Company by the government. The Company classifies VAT receivables as a current asset because it is an asset that is reasonably expected to be realized (or sold or consumed) within one year or within the Company’s normal operating cycle. Advances to Suppliers The Company makes advances to certain vendors to purchase material and equipment. The advances are interest-free and unsecured. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market. The Company compares the cost of inventories with their market value and allowance is made to write down inventories to their market value, if lower. Notes Receivable The Company sold goods to its customers and received commercial notes (bank acceptance) from them in lieu of payments for accounts receivable. The Company discounted the commercial notes with the bank or endorsed the commercial notes to vendors for payment of their own obligations or to get cash from third parties. Most of the commercial notes have a maturity of less than six months. At December 31, 2011, Winder transferred commercial notes to vendors in lieu of payment. If the original remitters fail to pay the notes, Winder will be responsible for making the payment, and there was contingent liability of RMB 262.12 million ($41.6 million) for Winder at December 31, 2011. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as follows:
Buildings | 5-20 years
Equipment | 5-10 years
Vehicles | 5 years
Office equipment | 5-10 years
The following are the details of property and equipment at December 31, 2011 and 2010:
|  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
Building |  | $ | 21,254,566 |  |  | $ | 9,274,909 |
Equipment |  |  | 25,072,857 |  |  |  | 18,928,495 |
Vehicle |  |  | 454,267 |  |  |  | 485,421 |
Office equipment |  |  | 566,054 |  |  |  | 220,800 |
Total |  |  | 47,347,744 |  |  |  | 28,909,625 |
Less accumulated depreciation |  |  | (11,210,135 | ) |  |  | (8,456,221 | )
Property & equipment, net |  | $ | 36,137,609 |  |  | $ | 20,453,404 |
Depreciation for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, was $2,265,269, $1,490,855 and 1,439,751, respectively. Construction in Progress Construction in progress consists of costs for the construction of workshops, mold and a video monitoring installation for Winder. The construction work for workshops, installation of video monitoring and construction of some of the molds was completed and transferred to property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2011. Other molds under construction amounted to $3.12 million as of December 31, 2011, with no major additional costs to be incurred. The Company completed its final inspection of the workshop construction in December 2011, and put the workshops into operation for product manufacturing. Construction in progress also includes costs for the construction of a new plant, office building and power distribution station for Deer Technology. Total estimated cost for this project is $36.23 million. As of December 31, 2011, construction in progress was $18.02 million. This phase of construction is anticipated to be completed in September 2012. Long-Lived Assets The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 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 value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there was no significant impairment of its long-lived assets. Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist of rights to use land and computer software. The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. The following are the details of intangible assets at December 31, 2011and 2010:
|  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
Right to use land |  | $ | 36,834,817 |  |  | $ | 37,712,643 |
Computer software |  |  | 83,201 |  |  |  | 79,158 |
Total |  |  | 36,918,018 |  |  |  | 37,791,801 |
Less accumulated amortization |  |  | (1,022,490 | ) |  |  | (289,791 | )
Intangibles, net |  | $ | 35,895,528 |  |  | $ | 37,502,010 |
Pursuant to PRC regulations, the PRC government owns all land. The Company recorded the amounts paid for the land use rights as an intangible asset. The Company amortizes these rights over their respective periods, which range from 45 to 50 years. Computer software is amortized over 1 to 2 years. In 2010, Deer Technology acquired the land use rights for two parcels of land with a total of 439,640 square meters located in east central China in the city of Wuhu, AnHui Province. The purchase price of the land use rights for these two parcels of land was approximately $35 million, a price of RMB 4.95 million ($743,000) per hectare and including a 4% PRC government land transfer tax and other government charges. The use right for the first parcel of land covering 289,416 square meters was purchased for approximately RMB 149 million ($22.74 million). The land use right for the second parcel of land covering 150,224 square meters was purchased for RMB 77.37 million ($11.8 million). The Company received the land use right certificates from the PRC government on these two parcels of land. The deposit of $10.5 million (RMB 67,901,400) paid in 2010 to acquire a land use right was returned to the Company in the first quarter of 2011, as it failed to win the auction for the land. The Company paid an additional $4.3 million (RMB 27,934,381) in first quarter of 2011 to make payment in full for the land use rights it acquired in December 2010. As of December 31, 2010, the Company prepaid (RMB 22,300,000) $3,367,207 for land use rights acquired in December 2010. This prepayment was transferred into intangible assets in the first quarter of 2011 when the Company received the land use right certificate. A summary of Company’s land use right acquisitions follows:
Name |  | Site use right Phase I |  |  | Site use right Phase II |  |  | Land use right |  |  | Land use right |

In addition, as of December 31, 2011, the Company prepaid RMB 5.34 million ($0.8 million) for the land use rights for 60,000 square meters of land in Yangjiang City, or Site use right Phase III. The total cost for the land use rights is approximately RMB 21.3 million ($3.3 million), which the Company is required to pay in full in 2012. There are no regulatory deadlines or commitments to develop the land. Amortization for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, was $700,347 $150,027 and $9,435, respectively. The following table summarizes the expected amortization over the next five years as of December 31, 2011:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term loans and notes payable, have carrying amounts that approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
| ● | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
| ● | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
| ● | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” As of December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value. Concentration of Credit Risk Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained within China. Certain financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of cash. Balances at financial institutions within China are not covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 480). Sales revenue from export customers is recognized at the date of shipment when the price is fixed or determinable, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company records payments for goods before all relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied as unearned revenue. Sales revenue from domestic customers is recognized at FOB destination when the price is fixed or determinable, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Company pays for the cost of freight and insurance and risk of loss passes when customers receive the goods. The Company records payments for goods before all relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied as unearned revenue. Sales revenue is the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added tax. All of the Company’s products sold in the PRC are subject to a VAT of 17% of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by the VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing the Company’s finished product. The Company recorded VAT payable and VAT receivable net of payments in the financial statements. The VAT tax return is filed offsetting the payables against the receivables. Sales and purchases are recorded net of VAT collected and paid as the Company acts as an agent for the government. VAT taxes are not affected by the income tax holiday. Sales returns and allowances were $0 for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The Company does not provide a right of unconditional return, price protection or any other concessions to its customers. Cost of Revenue and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses The Company includes expenses in either cost of revenue or selling, general and administrative expenses based upon the natural classification of the expenses. Cost of revenue includes expenses associated with the acquisition, inspection, manufacturing and receiving of materials for use in the manufacturing process. These costs include inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, internal transfer costs as well as depreciation, amortization, wages, benefits and other costs that are incurred directly or indirectly to support the manufacturing process. Selling, general and administrative expenses includes expenses associated with the distribution of our products, sales efforts including commissions payable to in store promotional staff, administration costs and other costs that are not incurred to support the manufacturing process. The Company records distribution costs associated with the sale of inventory as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Statements of Consolidated Income. These expenses include warehousing costs, outbound freight charges, insurance and costs associated with distribution personnel. Advance from Customers The Company records payments received from customers in advance of their future orders to an advance account. These orders are normally delivered within a reasonable period of time based upon contract terms with the customers. Advertising Costs The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred or, as appropriate, the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and 2009 were $105,954, $222,648 and $45,361, respectively. Research and Development The Company expenses its research and development costs as incurred. Research and development costs for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, were $188,658 and $777,783 and $602,550 respectively. Research and development costs are included in general and administrative expenses. Subsidy Income The Company was awarded grants from local government bureaus to encourage the development of its business. As a general policy of municipal governments in the PRC, local government bureaus commonly provide grants to leading local companies in order to encourage greater economic development and employment. The grants are typically based on certain standards that are reviewed periodically. The grants set forth below were awarded to the Company based on its progress in technological innovation and building of a standardized plant and factory. As the exact amount of a grant is uncertain until the local government makes its final determination, the Company records income only when the grant is received or approved. The grants set forth below were made without any conditions and restrictions, and were not required to be repaid. Set forth below are the grants recorded in the year end ended December 31, 2011.
Item |  | Amount in ($) |
Development fund from Yangjiang Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone |  |  | 264,839 |
Reward from Yangjiang Finance Bureau for acting as a lead role model of demonstrating standardized factory construction |  |  | 692,620 |
Reward of proprietary brand and market development from Yangjiang Finance Bureau |  |  | 45,892 |
From Yangjiang Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone for business development reward |  |  | 26,833 |
Others |  |  | 50,264 |
Total |  | $ | 1,080,448 |
The above subsidy income attributable to the grants specified was received in full and could be used without restriction. Stock-Based Compensation The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 & 505, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” ASC 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company recognizes in its statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees. There were 50,000 options outstanding as of December 31, 2011. Income Taxes The Company utilizes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 740), which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company follows FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (codified in FASB ASC Topic 740). When tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified as selling, general and administrative expense in the statements of income. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had not taken any significant uncertain tax position on its tax return for 2010 and prior years or in computing its tax provision for 2011. Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income The financial statements’ accounts of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries were translated into USD in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 830), with the RMB as the Company’s China subsidiaries’ functional currency. According to SFAS No. 52 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 830), all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity are translated at the historical rates and statement of operations items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 220). Currency Hedging The Company from time to time may enter into forward exchange agreements with the Bank of China, whereby the Company agrees to sell U.S. dollars to the Bank of China at certain rates. At December 31, 2011and 2010, the Company had no outstanding forward exchange contracts. Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with the ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares (denominator) used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:
Years Ended December 31, | 2011 |  | 2010 |  | 2009 |
| Shares |  | Per Share Amount |  | Shares |  | Per Share Amount |  | Shares |  | Per Share Amount |
Basic earnings per share |  |  | 33,592,562 |  |  | $ | 1.18 |  |  |  | 33,210,969 |  |  | $ | 0.91 |  |  |  | 22,782,200 |  |  | $ | 0.54 |
Effect of dilutive warrants and stock options |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 440,798 |  |  |  | (0.01 | ) |  |  | 408,086 |  |  |  | (0.01 | )
Diluted earnings per share |  |  | 33,592,562 |  |  | $ | 1.18 |  |  |  | 33,651,767 |  |  | $ | 0.90 |  |  |  | 23,190,286 |  |  | $ | 0.53 |
Statement of Cash Flows In accordance with ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rates. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets. Registration Rights Agreement The Company accounts for payment arrangements under a registration rights agreement in accordance with ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” which requires the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, be recognized separately and measured in accordance with ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies.” Segment Reporting SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 280) requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. SFAS No. 131 has no effect on the Company's financial statements as substantially all of the Company's operations are conducted in one industry segment. All of the Company's assets are located in the PRC. Reclassifications The Company reclassified intangible assets to deposit of $806,458 for land use right as of December 31, 2010 to conform to the manner of presentation in the current period. Recent Pronouncements In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, "Testing Goodwill for Impairment." ASU 2011-08 will allow companies to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test required under current accounting standards. ASU 2011-08 will be effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, but does not expect the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income." ASU 2011-05 will require companies to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income either as one continuous statement or as two consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. ASU 2011-05 does not change the items which must be reported in other comprehensive income, how such items are measured or when they must be reclassified to net income. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for the first interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Further, in December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, "Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05." The Company believes the adoption of this guidance concerns disclosure only and will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs." ASU 2011-04 changes the wording used to describe the requirements in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in order to improve consistency in the application and description of fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). ASU 2011-04 clarifies how the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise in a fair value measurement are relevant only when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets and are not relevant when measuring the fair value of financial assets or of liabilities. In addition, ASU 2011-04 expanded the disclosures for the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements, requiring quantitative information to be disclosed related to (1) the valuation processes used, (2) the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs, and (3) use of a nonfinancial asset in a way that differs from the asset's highest and best use. ASU 2011-04 will be effective for the first interim and annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2011 and early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the future impact of this new accounting update on its consolidated financial statements.
