Technology Ltd., formerly known as Hambrecht Asia Acquisition Corp. (the
“Company” or “we”, “our” or “us”) was incorporated under the law of the Cayman
Islands on July 18, 2007. The Company was formed as a blank check company
for the purpose of acquiring one or more operating businesses in the People’s
Republic of China (“China” or “PRC”) through a merger, stock exchange, asset
acquisition or similar business combination or control through contractual
arrangements.
The
Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of units consisting of one
ordinary share and one warrant to purchase one ordinary share in March 12,
2008. On March 12, 2010, the Company completed a share exchange
transaction with Honesty Group Holdings Limited (“Honesty Group”) and its
shareholders, and Honesty Group became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company. On the closing date, the Company issued 14,300,000 of its
ordinary shares to Honesty Group in exchange for 100% of the capital stock of
Honesty Group. Prior to the share exchange transaction, the Company had
5,299,126 ordinary shares issued and outstanding. After the share exchange
transaction, the Company had 16,094,756 ordinary shares issued and

The
Company has reclassified certain prior year amounts between cash and restricted
cash, other current assets and other non-current assets to conform to the
current year presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on net
income.
Use of
estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities 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. The more significant
areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to the
collectability of its receivables, and the fair value and accounting treatment
of certain financial instruments. Management bases its estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ significantly
from these estimates. In addition, different assumptions or conditions could
reasonably be expected to yield different results.
Concentration of
risks
The
Company's operations are carried out in China and its operations in the China
are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically
associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include
risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal
environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be
adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and
regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance
abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Financial
instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist
of cash. The Company maintains balances at financial institutions located in
Hong Kong and China. The Company maintains balances at financial institutions
which, from time to time, may exceed Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board insured
limits for the banks located in Hong Kong. Balances at financial
institutions or state owned banks within the PRC are not insured. As of
September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had deposits, including
restricted cash balances, in excess of federally insured limits totaling
approximately $17,641,000 and $11,332,000, respectively. The Company has
not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to
any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.
Sales
revenue from three major customers was approximately 46% of the Company’s total
sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. These three customers
represented 66% of account receivable as of September 30, 2010.
Sales
revenue from two major customers was approximately 71% of the Company’s total
sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. These two customers
represented 76% of account receivable as of September 30, 2009.
One major
vendor provided approximately 15% of raw materials purchased by the Company
during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This major vendor represented
49% of account payable as of September 30, 2010.
Four
major vendors provided approximately 64% of raw materials purchased by the
Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, of which, one vendor
was a related party and attributed to 12% of total purchase. None of the major
vendors represented over 5% of accounts payable as of September 30,
2009.
Cash and cash
equivalents
For
purposes of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of
purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits
in accounts maintained with financial institutions or state owned banks within
the PRC and Hong Kong.
Restricted
cash
The
Company has notes payable outstanding and line of credit arrangements with
various banks and is required to keep certain amounts on deposit that are
subject to withdrawal restrictions.
Restricted
cash represents amounts set aside by the Company in accordance with the
Company’s debt agreements with certain financial institutions. These cash
amounts are designated for the purpose of paying down the principal amounts owed
to the financial institutions, and these amounts are held at the same financial
institutions with which the Company has debt agreements in the PRC. Due to
the short term nature of the Company’s debt obligations to these banks, the
corresponding restricted cash balances have been classified as current in the
consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts receivable and
other receivables
Receivables
include trade accounts due from customers and other receivables from cash
advances to employees, related parties or third parties. Management
reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad
debts, customer concentration, customer credit worthiness, current economic
trends and changes in customer payment patterns to determine if the allowance
for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is
made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Delinquent
account balances are written-off after management has determined that the
likelihood of collection is not probable, known bad debts are written off
against allowance for doubtful accounts when identified.
Inventories
Inventory
is composed of raw materials, mainly parts for assembly of LCD products, and
finished goods. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value using
the weighted average method. Management reviews inventories for obsolescence and
compares the cost of inventory with the market value at least annually. An
allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its market value, if lower
than cost.
Plant and
equipment
Equipment
is stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to
earnings as incurred. Major additions are capitalized. When assets 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 plant and equipment is provided using the
straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as
follows:

Construction
in progress represents the costs incurred in connection with the construction of
buildings or new additions to the Company’s plant facilities. No
depreciation is provided for construction in progress until such time as the
assets are completed and placed into service.
Government
grants
The
Company is entitled to receive grants from the PRC municipal government due
to its operation in the high and new technology business sector. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company received grants of
approximately $748,500 (RMB 5 million) and $3,374,000 (RMB 23 million),
respectively, from the PRC municipal government. Grants received from the
PRC municipal government can be used for enterprise development and technology
innovation purposes. The government grants received during the nine months
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were recognized in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets as a reduction of cost of the assets acquired and
buildings constructed.
Intangible
assets
Intangible
assets mainly include land use rights. All land in the PRC is government
owned. However, the government grants “land use rights”. The Company
acquired land use rights in 2007 and has the right to use the land for 50
years. The rights held by Guanke and Guancheng began amortizing in the 4th
quarter of 2009 and in the third quarter of 2010 as the land had been placed
into service. The right held by Guanwei remains unamortized as it is under
the development stage and has no operations as of September 30,
2010.

Impairment of long-lived
assets
The
Company evaluates long lived assets, including equipment and 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, other long-lived assets,
and goodwill 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 Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation and amortization to
determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates
of useful lives. As of September 30, 2010, management believes no
triggering events occurred that would cause impairment of long-lived assets.
Derivative
liability
Derivative
liabilities, which include public and private warrants and a put option, are
recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as a liability at their fair
value. The Company accounts for derivative liabilities in accordance to an
accounting standard regarding “Instruments that are Indexed to an Entity’s Own
Stock”. This accounting standard specifies that a contract that would
otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the
Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement
of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial
instrument. It provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining
whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s
own stock and thus able to qualify for the scope exception within the
standards.
Prior to
the Acquisition, warrants issued were treated as equity. As a result of the
Acquisition, the derivative treatment exemption were no longer afforded equity
treatment because the strike price of the warrants is denominated in US dollars,
a currency other than the Company’s functional currency RMB. Therefore, warrants
are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock, and such, all future
changes in the fair value of these warrants will be recognized currently in
earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised or expire. The
Company reclassified the fair value of these warrants, which have the
dual-indexed feature, from equity to liability.
The
Company accounts for the put option agreement in accordance with the accounting
standards regarding certain financial instruments with characteristics of both
liabilities and equity. The put option agreement obligates the Company to
purchase such shares. As the result, the Company treated the put option as a
liability.
Fair value of financial
instruments
The
accounting standards regarding fair value of financial instruments and related
fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires fair value
disclosures of those financial instruments. The fair value measurement
accounting standard defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation
hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure
requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the
balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as
financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value 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
are defined as follows:

A
discussion of the valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the
liabilities listed above and activity for these liabilities for the nine months
ended September 30, 2010, is provided in Note 11.
As of
September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company did not identify any other
assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at
fair value in accordance with the accounting standard.
In
addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a
recurring basis, the Company is required to record assets and liabilities at
fair value on a non-recurring basis. Generally, assets are recorded at
fair value on a non-recurring basis as a result of impairment charges. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, there were no impairment
charges.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company's revenue recognition policies are in accordance with the accounting
standards. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when
a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is
completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and
collectability is reasonably assured. For products that are required to be
examined by customers, sales revenue is recognized after the customer
examination is passed. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for
revenue recognition are recorded as customer deposits. The Company offer
limited extended warranty and service contracts to customers. Most of
these services are provided by the distributors. Management did not
estimate future warranty liabilities as historical warranty expenses were
minimal.
The
Company accounts for reimbursement to SGOCO Club members following the guidance
of ASC 605-50-45. Reimbursement provided is treated either as a reduction
of revenue or as cost of goods sold when reimbursement is a separate transaction
from the purchase of the Company’s products and where the fair value of the
reimbursement can be reasonably estimated.

Income
taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the accounting standard for
income taxes. Under the asset and liability method as required by this
accounting standard, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax
consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates
applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The
charge for taxation is based on the results for the reporting period as adjusted
for items which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using
tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet
date. The effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation
allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all
of, a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Under the
accounting standard regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, a tax
position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that
the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination
being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax
benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For
tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is
recorded. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax
are classified as income tax expense in the year incurred. No significant
penalties or interest relating to income taxes have been incurred during the
nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. GAAP also provides guidance
on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosures and transition.
Advertising
costs
The
Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred in selling, general and
administrative costs. Advertising cost was not significant for the nine months
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
Shipping and
handling
Shipping
and handling for raw materials purchased are included in cost of goods sold.
Shipping and handling cost incurred to ship finished products to customers are
included in selling expenses. Shipping and handling expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $167,537 and $39,744,
respectively.
Research and development
costs
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of material and
equipment that are acquired or constructed for research and development
activities and have alternative future uses are classified as plant and
equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Earnings per
share
The
Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of FASB’s
related accounting standard. This standard requires presentation of basic and
diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology
used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing income available to shareholders by the
weighted average ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue ordinary shares were exercised and
converted into ordinary shares. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury
stock method. Under this method, option and warrants were 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 ordinary shares at the
average market price during the period.
As
described in Note 3, on March 12, 2010, pursuant to the terms of the Share
Exchange Agreement, the Company issued 5,800,000 shares to the former
shareholders of Honesty Group, to be held in escrow and released if certain
income milestones are met for 2010 and 2011. In addition, 766,823 Sponsor
Shares were placed in escrow and will be released contingent on financial
advisory and certain other services to be provided by the Sponsors. In
accordance with the accounting standards, outstanding ordinary shares that are
contingently returnable are treated in the same manner as contingently
issuable.
Foreign currency
translation
The
reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The functional
currency of PRC subsidiaries is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). Results of
operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the
period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate
as quoted by the People’s Bank of China at the end of the period. Capital
accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital
transaction occurred. Translation adjustments resulting from this process
are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated
statement of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise
from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other
than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as
incurred.
Translation
gain (loss) resulting from this process amounted to $960,816 and $(22,765) for
the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The
balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity were translated 6.68 and 6.82
RMB to $1.00 at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The equity accounts
were stated at their historical exchange rates. The average translation rates
applied to the income and cash flow statement amounts for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009 were 6.80 RMB and 6.82 RMB to $1.00,
respectively.
Cash
flows are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. As a
result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of
cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances
on the balance sheet.
Recently issued accounting
pronouncements
In June
2009, FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) amending the accounting
and disclosure requirements for transfers of financial assets. This ASU requires
entities to provide more information regarding sales of
securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the
entity has continuing exposure to the risks related to transfer financial
assets. In addition, it eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose
entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and
requires additional disclosures. This ASU is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The
adoption of these FASB Staff Positions did not have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June
2009, FASB issued an ASU amending the accounting and disclosure requirements for
the consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). This ASU
modifies how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently
capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should
be consolidated. It clarifies that the determination of whether a company is
required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an
entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of
the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic
performance. An ongoing reassessment is required of whether a company is the
primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. Further, it also
requires additional disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable
interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that
involvement. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November
15, 2009. The adoption of these FASB Staff Positions did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In
October 2009, FASB issued an ASU regarding accounting for own-share lending
arrangements in contemplation of convertible debt issuance or other
financing. This ASU requires that at the date of issuance of the shares in
a share-lending arrangement entered into in contemplation of a convertible debt
offering or other financing, the shares issued shall be measured at fair value
and be recognized as an issuance cost, with an offset to additional paid-in
capital. Further, loaned shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings per
share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs, at which time the
loaned shares would be included in the basic and diluted earnings-per-share
calculation. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years for
arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of those fiscal years. The adoption
of these FASB Staff Positions did not have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
In
January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 regarding accounting and reporting for
decreases in ownership of a subsidiary. Under this guidance, an entity is
required to deconsolidate a subsidiary when the entity ceases to have a
controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. Upon deconsolidation of
a subsidiary, an entity recognizes a gain or loss on the transaction and
measures any retained investment in the subsidiary at fair value. In
contrast, an entity is required to account for a decrease in its ownership
interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a change of control of the
subsidiary as an equity transaction. This ASU clarifies the scope of the
decrease in ownership provisions, and expands the disclosures about the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary or de-recognition of a group of assets.
This ASU is effective beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period
ending on or after December 31, 2009. The adoption of this ASU did not
have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In
January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 - Improving Disclosures about Fair
Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10
that requires new disclosure to include transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2
and activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Further, this update
clarifies existing disclosures on level of disaggregation and disclosures about
inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide fair
value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and
should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to
measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.
Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either
Level 2 or Level 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing
disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales,
issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value
measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, the Company
does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its
consolidated financial statements.

In
February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855):
Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”. ASU 2010-09
primarily rescinds the requirement that, for listed companies, financial
statements clearly disclose the date through which subsequent events have been
evaluated. Subsequent events must still be evaluated through the date of
financial statement issuance; however, the disclosure requirement has been
removed to avoid conflicts with other SEC guidelines. ASU 2010-09 was effective
immediately upon issuance and was adopted in February 2010.
In April
2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-13, “Compensation—Stock
Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a
Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying
Equity Security Trades,” or ASU 2010-13. ASU 2010-13 provides amendments to
Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise
price denominated in currency of a market in which a substantial porting of the
entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a
condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an
entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies
as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15,
2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-13 to have a
significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In July
2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-20 which amends
“Receivables” (Topic 310). ASU 2010-20 is intended to provide additional
information to assist financial statement users in assessing an entity’s risk
exposures and evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses. The
disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and
annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures
about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim
and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The
amendments in ASU 2010-20 encourage, but do not require, comparative disclosures
for earlier reporting periods that ended before initial adoption. However, an
entity should provide comparative disclosures for those reporting periods ending
after initial adoption. While ASU 2010-20 will not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements, we expect that it will expand our disclosures
related to notes receivables.
Note
3 – Business acquisition
On
February 12, 2010, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the
“Share Exchange Agreement”) with Honesty Group Holdings Limited (“Honesty
Group”) and its shareholders. On March 12, 2010, the Company completed the
acquisition (“Acquisition”) of all of the outstanding capital stock of the
Honesty Group. The Acquisition resulted in the shareholders of Honesty
Group obtaining a majority of the voting interest in the Company.
Generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States of
America (“US GAAP”) require that Honesty Group, whose shareholders retain the
majority voting interest in the combined business, be treated as the acquirer
for accounting purposes. After the Share Exchange, the Company had
16,094,756 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, and Honesty Group’s
shareholders owned approximately 88.9% of the issued and outstanding shares.
Although Honesty Group was deemed to be the acquiring company for
accounting and financial reporting purposes, the legal status of the Company as
the surviving corporation did not change. Since the Company did not have
any assets with operating substance except cash and short-term investments prior
to the transaction, the Acquisition was accounted for as reorganization and
recapitalization of Honesty Group. As a result, the consolidated financial
statements of the Company (the legal acquirer) is, in substance, those of
Honesty Group (the accounting acquirer), with the assets and liabilities, and
revenues and expenses, of the Company being included effective from the date of
the share exchange transaction.
The
Acquisition transaction utilized the capital structure of the Company. The
assets and liabilities of Honesty Group were recorded at historical cost.
The outstanding stock of the Company prior to the share exchange transaction was
accounted at its net book value with no goodwill or other intangible being
recognized as the result of the acquisition. There was no gain or loss
recognized on the transaction. The historical financial statements for
periods prior to March 12, 2010 are those of Honesty Group except that the
equity section and earnings per share have been retroactively restated to
reflect the reorganization and recapitalization.
Following
the closing of the share exchange transaction, the gross amount of $5.4 million
in the trust fund, established by the Company in connection with its initial
public offering, was distributed to Honesty Group. Acquisition-related
costs incurred to affect the recapitalization were approximately $1.7 million,
of which $1,047,854 was accounted for as expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010.
At the
closing, the Company issued 14.3 million ordinary shares to Honesty Group’s
shareholders in exchange for 100% of the capital stock of Honesty Group. Of
the 14,300,000 ordinary shares, 5.8 million shares were placed in escrow subject
to the Company’s future performance and would be release as
follows:

Prior to
the Share Exchange, the Sponsors had 1,059,826 ordinary shares issued and
outstanding, of which 124,738 shares were forfeited and 766,823 shares were
placed in the escrow and will be released contingent on financial advisory and
certain other services to be provided by the Sponsors.
Prior to
the Share Exchange, public shareholders had 4,239,300 ordinary shares issued and
outstanding, of which 2,147,493 shares were repurchased and retired for an
aggregate price of $17,285,811 and 1,232,139 shares were redeemed for an
aggregate price of $9,838,351. After the closing, public shareholders had
859,668 shares outstanding.
Real estate option
agreement
As a
condition to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company entered into a real
estate option agreement with Mr. Burnette Or pursuant to which Mr. Or, or an
entity led by him, has the option, for a period of two years following the
closing of the Acquisition, to purchase the land use rights at cost. Mr.
Or has agreed that if the option is exercised, he will enter into a long-term
fair market value lease with Guanke for the manufacturing facility and
dormitories at the current location.

9 – Debt
The
Company has four credit facilities pursuant to which the Company issued a
portion of the notes payable and short-term loans below. The Company has
a) a facility with the Bank of Communications in the amount of $16.2 million
(RMB 108.3 million) with the expiration date on August 6, 2011, b) a facility
with the Agricultural Bank of China in the amount of $10.2 million (RMB 68
million) with the expiration date on September 1, 2011, c) a facility with
Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in the amount of $15.0 million (RMB 100
million) with the expiration date on December 31, 2011, and d) a facility with
Industrial Bank Co. LTD. in the amount of $5.1 million (RMB 34 million).
Each facility has a pledge agreement and is personally guaranteed by a board
member and/or the Company’s CEO.
Notes
payable
Notes
payable are lines of credit extended by the banks. When purchasing raw
materials, the Company often issues a short term note payable to the vendor
funded with draws on the lines of credit. This short term note payable is
guaranteed by the bank for its complete face value through a letter of credit
and usually matures within three to six months of issuance. The banks
either charge interest or require the Company to deposit a certain amount of
cash at the bank as a guarantee deposit which is classified on the balance sheet
as restricted cash. In addition, the banks charge processing fees based on
the face value of the note.
As of
September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $6,325,444 and $5,596,699 of
restricted cash was collateral for the $21,703,423 and $18,709,038 notes
payable, which was approximately 29% and 30%, respectively, of the notes payable
the Company issued. Notes payable are secured by a pledge of the Company’s
operating equipment.

10 – Employee pension
Regulations
in the PRC require the Company to contribute to a defined contribution
retirement plan for all permanent employees. The PRC government is responsible
for the pension liability to these retired employees. The Company is required to
make monthly contributions to the state retirement plan at 20% of the base
requirement for all permanent employees. Different geographic locations have
different base requirements. Total pension expense incurred by the Company was
immaterial for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
The
Company has been advised that under PRC law, Guanke should have paid social
insurance premiums for its employees covering endowment insurance, unemployment
insurance, and medical insurance with respect to its employees. Guanke may be
required to pay the administrative authority of labor and social security the
unpaid premiums plus a surcharge of 2% of the overdue premiums. There may also
be a fine levied against the employee of Guanke who was responsible for the
filings. SGOCO plans to make necessary payments and does not consider the
liability material.
Note
11 – Warrant derivative liability
Public
warrants
In March
2008, the Company, then a special purpose acquisition corporation (“SPAC”),
completed its initial public offering (“IPO”), in which it sold 4,239,300 units
(consisting of one ordinary share and one warrant) at $8.00 per unit. Those
warrants (“Public warrants”) issued in the IPO are publicly traded. Of the
4,239,300 Public Warrants outstanding prior to the consummation of the
Acquisition, holders of 2,673,273 Public Warrant holders elected to redeem the
warrants for cash of $0.50 per warrant. As a result, 1,566,027 Public Warrants
were outstanding at March 12, 2010 and September 30, 2010. Those warrants are
excisable at $8.00 per share with an expiration date of March 7, 2014. In
the event that the last sale price of an ordinary share exceeds $11.50 per share
for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period, the Company has the
option to redeem Public Warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant.
Sponsors
warrants
In March
2008, the Company was also engaged in a private offering of 1,550,000 warrants
of the Company to the original shareholders of the SPAC (“Sponsors”). Prior to
consummation of the Share Exchange, those Sponsors agreed to forfeit 1,300,000
of their Sponsor Warrants to purchase ordinary shares. The remaining Sponsor
Warrants to purchase 250,000 ordinary shares were transferred without
consideration to an unaffiliated investment company, Pope Investment II,
LLC. These warrants are not publicly traded and are excisable at $8.00 per
share with an expiration date of March 7, 2014. The warrants were outstanding at
March 12, 2010 and September 30, 2010. In the event that the last sale
price of an ordinary share exceeds $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days
within a 30-trading day period, the Company has the option to redeem the
warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant.
Unit
options
In
connection with the IPO in March 2008, the Company issued an option (“Unit
Option”) on a total of 280,000 units (each unit consisting of one ordinary share
and one ordinary share warrant (“Representative Warrants”)) to the underwriters,
Broadband Capital Management LLC. The Unit Option permits the acquisition of
280,000 Units at $10 per unit. Those Representative Warrants are excisable at
$8.00 per share with an expiration date of March 7, 2014, and were valued at
$0.50 and $0.70 per share at March 12, 2010 and September 30, 2010,
respectively, using the observable market price of the Public
Warrants.
The
Company utilized the American Binominal Option Valuation Model to estimate the
value of the Unit Option at March 12, 2010, with the exercise price of $9.50,
market price of $7.00, the expected term of four years, the expected volatility
of 11.84%, the risk free rate of 1.97%, and resulted in $46,937 or $0.17 per
Unit Option. As a result, the total value of Unit Option at March 12, 2010
was estimated at $186,937. On September 30, 2010, the total value of the
Unit Option was estimated at $637,026, with the warrant price of $0.70, the
exercise price of $9.30, market price of $7.00, the expected term of 3.44 years,
the expected volatility of 43%, and the risk free rate of
0.47%.

(UNAUDITED)
The
Company adopted the provisions of an accounting standard regarding instrument
that are Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock. This accounting standard
specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a
derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified
in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be
considered a derivative financial instrument. It provides a new two-step
model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded
feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the
scope exception within the standards.
As a
result, the Public Warrants, Sponsor Warrants, and Unit Options previously
treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption are no longer
afforded equity treatment because the strike price of the warrants is
denominated in US dollar, a currency other than the Company’s functional
currency RMB. Therefore the warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s
own stock, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of these warrants
will be recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are
exercised or expire. The Company reclassified the fair value of the Public
Warrants of $783,013, Sponsor Warrants of $125,000, Unit Option of $186,937, an
aggregate of $1,094,950 from equity to liabilities as if these warrants and Unit
Options were treated as a derivative liability at March 12, 2010.
As of
September 30, 2010 and March 12, 2010, the fair value of the warrants and Unit
Option was $1,908,698 and $1,094,950, respectively. The difference of $813,748
was charged to “Change in fair value of warrant derivative liability” in the
consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30,
2010.
A summary
of changes in warrant activity is presented as follows, the average remaining
life of the following outstanding warrants was 3.44 years as of September 30,
2010 with average exercise price of $8.00 per share.

12 - Put option liability
In
related to the Sponsor Warrants issued disclosed in Note 11, the Company
executed a put option agreement (“Put Agreement”) with the same company, Pope
Investments II LLC (“Pope”). Pursuant to the Put Agreement, the Company granted
to Pope a put option to sell 250,000 shares of the Company at a price of $8.00
per share. The Put Agreement was effective upon completion of Pope’s purchase of
250,000 shares of the Company’s ordinary shares. The agreement is
exercisable for a three-month period from February 15, 2011 until May 15,
2011. In the alternative, Mr. Burnette Or, chief executive officer, may
purchase any shares put to the Company, or if neither of the Company nor Mr. Or
make the purchase, two of the founders of the Company have agreed to make the
purchase. Since the Put Option is out of the Company’s control, it was recorded
as liability as of March 12, 2010. The value of Put Option was $2,000,000
at September 30, 2010.

new standard EIT rate of 25% has replaced the 33% rate previously applicable to
both DEs and FIEs. Companies established before March 16, 2007 will
continue to enjoy tax holiday treatment approved by local government for a grace
period of the next 5 years or until the tax holiday term is completed, whichever
is sooner.
Guanke
was established before March 16, 2007 and therefore is qualified to continue
enjoying the reduced tax rate as described above. Guanke was granted income tax
exemption for two years commencing from January 1, 2007, and is subject to 50%
of the 25% EIT tax rate, or 12.5%, from January 1, 2009 through December 31,
2011.
Guancheng
was established after March 16, 2007 and is subject to 25% EIT tax rate on the
taxable income. Guancheng started operations in June 2010 and had net loss
for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Accordingly, no provision
was made in the periods. Guanwei is under development stage and had no
taxable income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and

the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The 2.0% and 0.2%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 included expenses
incurred by SCOGO and Honesty Group of approximately $2.2 million and
$29,520 million, which were not deductible on the consolidated level. The
other item was also affected by losses incurred by Guanwei and Guancheng
that were not subjected to PRC income

(“VAT”). All of the Company’s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a
Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 17% of the gross sales price. This VAT may
be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials
included in the cost of producing its finished products. 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.
VAT on

for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and $5,566,000 and $4,242,000 for

| |
iii.
|

reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the Company’s registered
capital. The Company has total registered capital of $34,072,000.The
surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can
be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business
expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing
shareholders in proportion to their shareholding or by increasing the par value
of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve
balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered
capital.

$345,219, respectively, as allocations to the statutory surplus reserve.
The other subsidiaries were still in the development stage or did not have any

30, 2010, Guanke, Guanwei, Guancheng, and Jinjiang Guanke are required to
contribute an additional $3,213,690, $5,940,000, $3,900,000 and $1,255,950 from

documents. As of September 30, 2010, $3,130,000 and $4,969,970 had been
invested by Honesty Group in the above subsidiaries. According to an
agreement reached with the local government agency, the Jinjiang Bureau of
China’s State Administration of Industry and Commerce (“SAIC”), the remaining
registered capital of $8,750,000 and $2,830,030 must be contributed by the end
of 2010. The SAIC provided Honesty Group with additional time to make the
registered capital payments because Honesty Group is in the process of investing
in infrastructure in the region. If Honesty Group is unable to make
the registered capital payments during 2010, it believes it will be able to
reach agreement with the SAIC to further defer the obligation of the
shareholders of the subsidiaries to pay the remaining registered capital,
provided that the SAIC believes Honesty Group is progressing with the timetable
for making its infrastructure investments.
As of
September 30, 2010, the Company had contractual capital commitments of
approximately $0.3 million for purchases of manufacturing facilities and
construction project.
