Amendment Description In response to a comment letter received from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), dated December 14, 2012, China Recycling Energy Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, originally filed with the SEC on March 22, 2012 (the “Original Form 10-K”) for the following purposes: (i) revise a table comparing our results of operations as a percentage of net sales and revise our discussions relating to non-operating income (expenses), income tax expense and net income in the Results of Operations section of our MD&A; (ii) include a discussion of how cash is transferred to the Company's PRC subsidiaries and how earnings are transferred from its PRC subsidiaries to the Company and revise our discussion on the impact of the issuance of the settlement shares to Xueyi Dong in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of our MD&A; (iii) disclose our considerations with respect to disclosures of fair value of long-term debt obligations and describe how those considerations were applied to our long-term debt obligations in Note 2 (to our consolidated financial statements); (iv) revise a table of accrued liabilities and other payables set forth in Note 8 (to our consolidated financial statements); (v) revise Note 12 (to our consolidated financial statements); (vi) restate the fair value of certain settlement shares issued to Xueyi Dong in Note 17 (to our consolidated financial statements); (vii) disclose the statutory reserve amount for each of our Chinese subsidiaries in Note 18 (to our consolidated financial statements); (viii) include a new Note 21 (to our consolidated financial statements) to describe the purpose and underlying reasons of this restatement and present the effect of the restatement on our financial statements; (ix) restate our financial statements and (x) revise the Signature Page. This Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with the Company’s periodic filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing date of the Original Form 10-K, including any amendments to those filings, as well as any Current Reports, filed on Form 8-K subsequent to the date of the Original Form 10-K. In addition, in accordance with applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, this Form 10-K/A includes updated certificates from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Principal Financial Officer as Exhibit 32.1. Because this Form 10-K/A sets forth the Original Form 10-K in its entirety, it includes both items that have been changed as a result of the amended disclosures and items that are unchanged from the Original Form 10-K. Other than the revision of the disclosures as discussed above, this Form 10-K/A speaks as of the original filing date of the Original Form 10-K and has not been updated to reflect other events occurring subsequent to the original filing date. This includes forward-looking statements and all other sections of this Form 10-K/A that were not directly impacted by this amendment, which should be read in their historical context.
