Orient Paper, Inc
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(1) Organization and Business Background
Orient Paper, Inc. (“Orient Paper” or “the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 9, 2005, under the name of Carlateral, Inc. Carlateral, Inc. started its business by providing financing services specializing in subprime title loans, secured primarily using automobiles (and also boats, recreational vehicles, machinery, and other equipment) as collateral.
Hebei Baoding Orient Paper Milling Company Limited (“HBOP”) was incorporated on March 10, 1996, under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). HBOP is mainly engaged in the production and distribution of paper products such as corrugating medium paper, offset paper and writing paper. HBOP also has capability to produce other paper and packaging-related products, such as plastic paper and craft paper. HBOP uses recycled paper as its primary raw material.
DongfangZhiye Holding Limited (“Dongfang Holding”) was formed on November 13, 2006, under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, and is an investment holding company. As such, Dongfang Holding does not generate any financial or operating transactions. On July 16, 2007, Dongfang Holding entered into an agreement to acquire the equity ownership of HBOP and placed all the equity interest in trust with Mr. Zhenyong Liu, Mr. Xiaodong Liu, and Mr. Shuangxi Zhao (the original equity owners of HBOP, each, an “HBOP Equity Owner” and collectively, “HBOP Equity Owners”), pursuant to a trust agreement executed on the same date. Under the terms of the trust agreement, the HBOP Shareholders would exercise control over the disposition of Dongfang Holding’s shares in HBOP on Dongfang Holding’s behalf until Dongfang Holding successfully completed the change in registration of HBOP’s capital with the relevant PRC Administration of Industry and Commerce as the 100% owner of HBOP’s equity interest. In connection with the consummation of the restructuring transactions on June 24, 2009 as described below, Dongfang Holding directed its trustee to return its equity ownership in HBOP to the HBOP Equity Owners.
On October 29, 2007, Orient Paper entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with (i) Orient Paper wholly owned subsidiary, CARZ Merger Sub, Inc., (ii) Dongfang Holding, and (iii) all shareholders of Dongfang Holding (Zhenyong Liu, Xiaodong Liu, Chen Li, Ning Liu, Jie Liu, Shenzhen Huayin Guaranty & Investment Company Limited, Top Good International Limited, Total Giant Group Limited, Total Shine Group Limited, Victory High Investment Limited, Think Big Trading Limited, Huge Step Enterprises Limited, and Sure Believe Enterprise Limited).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Dongfang Holding merged with CARZ Merger Sub, Inc. via a share exchange, with Dongfang Holding as the surviving entity. In exchange for their shares in Dongfang Holding, the Dongfang Holding shareholders received an aggregate of 7,450,497 newly-issued shares of Orient Paper’s common stock, $0.001 par value, which were distributed pro ratably among the Dongfang Holding shareholders in accordance with their respective ownership interests in Dongfang Holding.
As a result of the merger transaction, Dongfang Holding became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Orient Paper, which, in turn, has the controlling right on Dongfang Holding’s operating company, HBOP, pursuant to the terms of the trust agreement. HBOP, the entity through which the Company operates its business currently has no subsidiaries, either wholly- or partially-owned.
Prior to the completion of the reverse merger, Orient Paper only had limited operations (since its incorporation on December 9, 2005). On December 21, 2007, the name of the Company was changed from Carlateral, Inc. to Orient Paper, Inc. in order to better reflect the current business plan subsequent to the reverse merger. Accordingly, the reverse merge has been recorded as a recapitalization of Orient Paper.

Orient Paper, Inc
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
To ensure proper compliance of the Company’s control over the ownership and operations of HBOP with certain PRC regulations, on June 24, 2009, the Company entered into a series of contractual agreements (the “Contractual Agreements”) with HBOP and HBOP Equity Owners via the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Shengde Holdings, Inc. (“Shengde Holdings”) a Nevada corporation and Baoding Shengde Paper Co., Ltd. (“Baoding Shengde”), a wholly foreign-owned enterprise in the PRC with an original registered capital of $10,000,000 (subsequently increased to $60,000,000 in June 2010). Baoding Shengde is mainly engaged in production and distribution of digital photo paper and is 100% owned by Shengde Holdings. Prior to February 10, 2010, the Contractual Agreements included (i) Exclusive Technical Service and Business Consulting Agreement, which generally provides that Baoding Shengde shall provide exclusive technical, business and management consulting services to HBOP, in exchange for service fees including a fee equivalent to 80% of HBOP’s total annual net profits; (ii) Loan Agreement, which provides that Baoding Shengde will make a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 to HBOP Equity Owners in exchange for each such shareholder agreeing to contribute all of its proceeds from the loan to the registered capital of HBOP; (iii) Call Option Agreement, which generally provides, among other things, that HBOP Equity Owners irrevocably grant to Baoding Shengde an option to purchase all or part of each owner’s equity interest in HBOP. The exercise price for the options shall be RMB1 which Baoding Shengde should pay to each HBOP Equity Owner for all their equity interests in HBOP; (iv) Share Pledge Agreement, which provides that HBOP Equity Owners will pledge all of their equity interests in HBOP to Baoding Shengde as security for their obligations under the other agreements described in this section. Specifically, Baoding Shengde is entitled to dispose of the pledged equity interests in the event that HBOP Equity Owners breach their obligations under the Loan Agreement or HBOP fails to pay the service fees to Baoding Shengde pursuant to the Exclusive Technical Service and Business Consulting Agreement; and (v) Proxy Agreement, which provides that HBOP Equity Owners shall irrevocably entrust a designee of Baoding Shengde with such shareholder’s voting rights and the right to represent such shareholder to exercise such owner’s rights at any equity owners’ meeting of HBOP or with respect to any equity owner action to be taken in accordance with the laws and HBOP’s Articles of Association. The terms of the agreement are binding on the parties as long as HBOP Equity Owners continue to hold any equity interest in HBOP. An HBOP Equity Owner will cease to be a party to the agreement once it transfers its equity interests with the prior approval of Baoding Shengde. As the Company had controlled HBOP since July 16, 2007 through Dongfang Holding and the trust until June 24, 2009, and continues to control HBOP through Baoding Shengde and the Contractual Agreements, the execution of the Contractual Agreements is considered as a business combination under common control.
On February 10, 2010, Baoding Shengde and the HBOP Equity Owners entered into a Termination of Loan Agreement to terminate the above $10,000,000 Loan Agreement. Because of the Company’s decision to fund future business expansions through Baoding Shengde instead of HBOP, the $10,000,000 loan contemplated was never made prior to the point of termination. The parties believe the termination of the Loan Agreement does not in itself compromise the effective control of the Company over HBOP and its businesses in the PRC.
An agreement was also entered into among Baoding Shengde, HBOP and the HBOP Equity Owners on December 31, 2010, reiterating that Baoding Shengde is entitled to 100% of the distributable profit of HBOP, pursuant to the above mentioned Contractual Agreements. In addition, HBOP and the HBOP Equity Owners shall not declare any of HBOP’s unappropriated earnings as dividend, including the unappropriated earnings of HBOP from its establishment to 2010 and thereafter.
Orient Paper has no direct equity interest in HBOP. However, through the Contractual Agreements described above Orient Paper is found to be the primary beneficiary of HBOP and is deemed to have the effective control over HBOP’s activities that most significantly affect its economic performance, resulting in HBOP being treated as a controlled variable interest entity of Orient Paper in accordance with Topic 810- Consolidation of the Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (the “FASB”) (formerly FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities as amended by SFAS 167, an Amendment to FIN 46R ). The revenue of the Company generated from HBOP for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was 94.68% and 94.39%, respectively, while it was 94.30% and 96.83% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. HBOP also accounted for 79.8% and 79.6% of the total assets of the Company as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

(2) Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and notes required by the United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for annual financial statements are not included herein. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 of Orient Paper, Inc. a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries and variable interest entity (which we sometimes refer to collectively as “Orient Paper”, “we”, “us” or “our”).
Principles of Consolidation
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise noted. The balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 and the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments 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 Company has adopted ASC Topic 740-10-05, Income Taxes, related to uncertain income tax positions. To date, the adoption of this interpretation has not impacted the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company performed a self-assessment and the Company’s liability for income taxes includes the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties which relate to tax years still subject to review by taxing authorities. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed, which in the PRC is usually 5 years. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company’s liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company’s results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, management considered that the Company had no uncertain tax positions affecting its condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations or cash flows, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future. There are no estimated interest costs and penalties provided in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for both the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company’s tax positions related to open tax years are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities and the major one is the China Tax Authority.

Pending Litigation
On August 6, 2010, a stockholder class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the Company, certain current and former officers and directors of the Company, and Roth Capital Partners, LLP. The complaint in the lawsuit, Mark Henning v. Orient Paper et al., CV-10-5887 RSWL (AJWx), alleges, among other claims, that the Company issued materially false and misleading statements and omitted to state material facts that rendered its affirmative statements misleading as they related to the Company’s financial performance, business prospects, and financial condition, and that the defendants failed to prevent such statements from being issued or corrected. The complaint seeks, among other relief, compensatory damages and plaintiff’s counsel’s fees and experts’ fees. Mr. Henning purports to sue on his own behalf and on behalf of a class consisting of the Company’s stockholders (other than the defendants and their affiliates). The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on January 28, 2011, and the Company filed a motion to dismiss with the court on March 14, 2011. On July 20, 2011 the court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss, thus allowing the litigation to proceed to discovery. Nevertheless, at this stage of the proceedings, management cannot opine that a favorable outcome for the company is probable or that an unfavorable outcome to the company is remote. While certain legal defense costs may be later reimbursed by the Company’s insurance carrier, no reasonable estimate of any impact of the outcome of the litigation or related legal fees on the financial statements can be made as of the date of this statement.
On April 1, 2011 the Company was served a summon for a complaint filed by Tribank Capital Investments, Inc. (“Tribank”) on March 30, 2011 in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles against the Company and its Chairman and CEO Mr. Zhenyong Liu (the “Tribank Matter”). By filing the complaint, Tribank alleges, among other claims, that the Company breached the Non-Circumvention Agreement dated October 29, 2008 between the Company and Tribank (the “Agreement”), and that the Company was unjustly enriched as a result of breaching the Agreement. The complaint seeks, among other relief, compensatory damages and plaintiff’s counsel’s fees. On April 29, 2011 the Company filed a Notice of Removal to remove the jurisdiction of the case from the state court of California to the Federal District Court for the District of Central California and filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on May 6, 2011. On July 18, 2011, United States District Court Judge Manual Real granted Orient Paper motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety, finding that venue is improper because the contract that forms the basis of the parties' relationship contains a valid and enforceable forum selection clause providing that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China is the exclusive forum for resolution of disputes. Tribank subsequently filed a notice of appeal with the court on August 5, 2011. The Company continues to believe that the complaint has no merit and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit. While certain legal defense costs may be later reimbursed by the Company’s insurance carrier, no reasonable estimate of any impact of the outcome of the litigation or related legal fees on the financial statements can be made as of date of this statement.
(14) Segment Reporting
Since March 10, 2010, Baoding Shengde started its operations and thereafter the Company manages its operations through two business operating segments: HBOP, which produces printing paper and corrugating medium paper, and Baoding Shengde, which produces digital photo paper. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies.
The Company evaluates performance of its operating segments based on net income. Administrative functions such as finance, treasury and information systems are centralized. However, where applicable, portions of the administrative function expenses are allocated between the operating segments based on gross revenue generated. The operating segments do share facilities in Xushui County, Baoding City, Hebei, China. All sales were sold to customers located in the PRC.
Summarized financial information for the two reportable segments for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

(16) Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which the Company is potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its temporary cash investments in reputable financial institutions in the PRC and the United States. Although it is generally understood that the PRC central government stands behind all of the banks in China in the event of bank failure, there is no deposit insurance system in China that is similar to the protection provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) of the United States. The Company’s U.S. bank accounts are all covered by the FDIC insurance. The balances exceeding the maximum coverage of $250,000 are nil as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
(17) Risks and Uncertainties
Orient Paper is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, foreign currency exchange rates, and operating in the PRC under its various laws and restrictions.
(18) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, which is a new accounting guidance to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The guidance changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance but believes the adoption of it will have no material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which is a new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income that will require a company to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive statements. There are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current GAAP. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. It is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. Currently, the Company evaluated the effect of ASU 2011-05 on its financial statements and has concluded that it would have no impact on the Company's results of operations.

Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
Revenue of Offset Printing Paper and Corrugating Medium Paper
Revenue from sales of offset printing paper (including minor revenue from sales of Diazo and copy papers for the three months ended September 30, 2010 only) and corrugating medium paper for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $35,103,908, an increase of $13,389,330 or 61.66% from $21,714,578 for the comparable period in 2010. The increase was partly due to the rising selling prices in 2011. In addition, for most of the third quarter in 2010, we had no steam pressure because we removed two old boilers to install two new energy-efficient steam boilers and thus, the quantity of total offset printing and corrugating medium paper produced and sold and the revenue from the sales during the three months ended September 30, 2010 were substantially less than in the comparable period in 2011. Total quantity of corrugating medium paper and offset printing paper sold for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 amounted to 55,642 tons, an increase of 14,812 tons or 36.28%, compared to 40,830 tons sold in the comparable period in the previous year. Exclusive of sales of finished goods that we purchased from other manufacturers, we sold 49,553 tons of offset printing and corrugating medium paper during the three months ended September 30, 2011, resulting in an increase in tonnage sold of 8,727 tons, or 21.38%, as compared to the same period a year ago. The changes in revenue in dollar amount and in tonnage from the third quarter of year 2010 to the same period in year 2011 are summarized as follows:

Average Selling Prices (“ASPs”) for our main products in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2011 are summarized as follows:

|  | Medium-Grade Offset ASP |  |  | Corrugating Medium Paper ASP |
Quarter ended September 30, 2010 |  | $ | 729 |  |  | $ | 315 |
Quarter ended September 30, 2011 |  | $ | 821 |  |  | $ | 413 |
Increase(decrease) from comparable period in the previous year |  | $ | 92 |  |  | $ | 98 |
Increase(decrease) as a percentage |  |  | 12.62 | % |  | $ | 31.11 | %

Revenue from corrugating medium paper amounted to $10,742,793 (or 30.60% of total offset printing paper and corrugating medium paper revenue) for the three months ended September 30, 2011, representing a $4,615,571 (or 75.33%) increase over the corrugating medium paper revenue of $6,127,222 for the comparable period in 2010. We sold 25,989 tons of corrugating medium paper in the three months ended September 30, 2011 versus 19,452 tons for the same period a year ago, representing a 33.61% increase in quantity sold. ASP for corrugating medium paper rose from $315/ton in the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $413/ton in the three months ended September 30, 2011, representing a 31.11% increase over the comparable period. We believe the increase in ASP is primarily attributable to (1) increasing customer demand, and more importantly (2) a regional shortage in paper products supply, caused by mandatory closures of smaller paper manufacturers under government mandates in 2010 and 2011. For example, the provincial government of Hebei announced on June 12, 2010 that it was working on closing 64 inefficient paper production lines with 26 local paper mills by the end of the year 2010, accounting for an elimination of annual capacity of approximately 400,000 tons in 2010, while the neighboring province of Henan announced that it was closing more than 100 local paper mills with an aggregate capacity of over 2 million tons of paper production. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China announced on July 11, 2011 that 8.2 million tons of outdated paper milling capacities and 599 paper companies across China will be forced to close down in the year 2011 (the “2011 Mandatory Closure”). Of all of the paper mills affected by the 2011 Mandatory Closure, 82 companies with total capacities of 1.07 million tons (or 13% of total closure) are located in the province of Hebei, where many of the old paper mills only have capacities under 50,000 tons. Our neighboring province of Henan will also see 1.84 million tons capacities (or 22% of total 2011 closure), currently owned by 84 companies, eliminated before the end of the year. Many industry commentators believe that the 2011 Mandatory Closure impacted mostly packaging paper, printing paper and household paper supplies in China in 2011 and has driven up selling prices of these products. However, as of September 30, 2011, we have seen ASP increases leveling out and stabilized.
Beginning in late June 2010, we shut down and later demolished one of our two corrugating medium paper production lines. We had originally planned to build a new 360,000 ton/year new corrugating medium paper production line and other facilities on approximately 667,000 square meters of land across the street from our current main manufacturing compound, but we changed plan to instead, build the new production line in our current manufacturing compound. To make room for the new production line and the related pulping facilities, we took down two buildings and an existing corrugating medium paper production line. We estimate the lost capacity to be approximately 34,000 tons per year. The new corrugating medium paper production line is under testing and is expected to begin commercial production in the last quarter of 2011.
20

Revenue from medium-grade offset printing paper amounted to $24,361,115 (or 69.40% of total offset printing paper and corrugating medium paper revenue) for the three months ended September 30, 2011, which represents an $8,777,531 (or 56.33%) increase over the medium-grade offset printing paper revenue of $15,583,584 for the comparable period in 2010. We sold 29,653 tons of medium-grade offset printing paper in the third quarter of year 2011 compared to 21,374 tons of medium-grade offset printing paper in the comparable period in year 2010, an increase of 8,279 tons or 38.73%. The factors contributing to the third quarter 2011 increase in both total quantity and dollar amount sold include (1) lower production quantity in the third quarter 2010, due to the installation of new boilers to replace the two old ones, (2) the increase in ASP for offset printing paper products from $729/ton in the third quarter of year 2010 to $821/ton in the third quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 12.62%, and (3) a regional shortage in paper products supply, caused by the 2011 Mandatory Closure. Absent further government-mandated closure and substantial industry-wide pricing adjustments to reflect inflating costs, we believe the ASP of major printing paper products are being stabilized and will remain so in the next few reporting periods, especially after the stabilization of the cost of wood pulp and the possible additional supply produced by other major paper manufacturers in the second half of 2011.
As a partial remedy for the lost production due to the disposal and temporary removal of two old boilers in the second half of 2010, starting in August 2010 the Company entered into four offset printing paper supply agreements with paper manufacturers in Hebei Province and the neighboring Shandong province (the “Supply Agreements”). During the three months ended September 30, 2011, revenue generated from sales of finished offset printing paper purchased from these vendors pursuant to the Supply Agreements was in the amount of $5,038,357 (or 6,089 tons), representing 20.68% of total sales revenue of medium-grade offset printing paper during the three months ended September 30, 2011. The sales of finished goods during the three months ended September 30, 2011 also represent an increase of $73,769 (1.49%) from such sales in the amount of $4,964,588 for the three-month period a year ago. Although gross profit margin of sales of paper purchased under these Supply Agreements registers significantly less than that of our own products (see discussions at “Gross Profit” below), we intend to extend these Supply Agreements past their expiration as long as market conditions permit.
The following is a chart showing the month-by-month ASPs (except for the ASPs of the digital photo paper) for the 15-month period ended September 30, 2011:
Monthly sales revenue, including revenue from the sales of finished goods purchased under the Supply Agreements and excluding revenue of digital photo paper, for the 15-month period ended September 30, 2011, are summarized below. Monthly sales in July/August 2010 and February 2011 were substantially lower than average mainly because of the loss of two old boilers in July and August 2010 and the extended Chinese New Year holiday break in February 2011.

Revenue of Digital Photo Paper
Since March 2010, we have produced and sold digital photo paper. Revenue generated from selling digital photo paper was $1,970,851 (or 5.32% of total revenue) for the three months ended September 30, 2011:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Three Months Ended |  |  |  |  |  | Percentage |
Sales |  | September 30, 2011 |  |  | September 30, 2010 |  |  | Change in |  |  | Change |

Digital Photo Paper |  |  | 495.77 |  |  | $ | 1,970,851 |  |  |  | 304.24 |  |  | $ | 1,291,736 |  |  |  | 191.53 |  |  | $ | 679,115 |  |  |  | 62.95 | % |  |  | 52.57 | %

We currently produce glossy and semi-matte photo paper in various weights (from 120g/m2 to 260g/m2). During the second quarter of the year 2010, we made the decision to significantly lower the ASP by producing more light weight digital photo paper products to meet the needs of different customers. Several adjustments were made through the end of June 2011. As a result, the ASP was lowered from $4,447/ton in June 2010 to $3,916/ton in June 2011, and as a result, monthly sales quantity increased from 82.23, 93.59 and 128.42 tons in July, August and September 2010 to 170.73, 160.87 and 164.17 tons in July, August and September 2011 respectively.
Digital photo paper products’ monthly ASPs, monthly sales quantity (in tons) and monthly sales revenue for the period from inception to September 30, 2011 are summarized as follows:

Total cost of sales for corrugating medium and offset printing paper for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $27,742,980, an increase of $9,387,934 or 51.15% from $18,355,046 for the comparable period in 2010. The increase in total cost of sales in the third quarter of year 2011 is primarily due to the significant increase in sales revenue (especially in terms of quantities sold) over the comparable period in the last year when the new boilers were being installed, as explained above. Total sales revenue (excluding revenue from sales of digital photo paper) grew from $21,714,578 in the third quarter of 2010 to $35,103,908 in the comparable period in year 2011, representing a 61.66% year-over-year increase. The increase in cost of sales also is largely attributable to the ever-rising cost of raw materials. Monthly average purchase costs of our major raw materials for the period beginning July 2010 and ending September 2011 are as follows:
24

Costs for all types of raw materials in the 15-month period ended September 30, 2011 were on an upward trend and reached the highest point over the period toward the end of September 2011. For example, our average unit purchase cost (net of applicable value added tax) of recycled paper board, recycled white scrap paper, and recycled printed paper in the month of September 2011 were $197/ton, $422/ton, and $316/ton, respectively, which represent year-over-year increases of 20.87%, 8.44%, and 22.99% as compared to what we paid per unit for these raw materials a year ago. Although our production takes advantage of domestic recycled paper (produced mainly from the Beijing metropolitan area) and does not have to rely on imported recycled paper, which tends to have a more volatile pricing behavior, it appears that demand for domestic paper is on the rise. Because of the rising demand and the effect of inflation on various production factors of recycled paper, we estimate that all of the raw material prices may see a slight increase in the next few reporting periods.
Electricity and coal are the two main sources of our paper manufacturing activities. Coal prices have been subject to seasonal fluctuations in China, with peaks often occurring in the winter months. Historically, electricity and coal account for approximately 11% and 10% of our total cost of sales, or approximately 9% and 8% of total sales, respectively. The monthly energy costs (electricity and coal) as a percentage of total monthly cost of sales (excluding the cost of sales purchased from other paper product suppliers and not manufactured by us, as well as the cost of sales of digital photo paper) of our main paper products for the two years ended September 30, 2011 are summarized as follows:
Because of the increase in total cost of sales caused by inflating recycled paper raw material prices, total energy (electricity and coal) cost accounted for 19.82% of the total cost of sales (excluding costs of sales of purchased finished goods and digital photo paper) in the three months ended September 30, 2011, which is slightly less as compared to 21.49% of total cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2010.
The total cost of sales of digital photo paper amounted to $1,337,644 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase of $508,061, or 61.24%, over the cost of sales of $829,583 in the comparable period in year 2010. The increase appears to be in line with the growth in sales of our digital photo paper. As explained above, the quantity (in tonnage) of our digital photo paper sales increased 62.95% in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010.

Gross Profit
Gross profit for corrugating medium paper and offset printing paper for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $7,360,928, a net increase of $4,001,396 or 119.11% from $3,359,532 for the comparable period in 2010. The net increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to the low production output in the third quarter of 2010 caused by the replacement work of two boilers. Because of this, (1) quantities of corrugating medium paper and offset printing paper sold were much lower than normal in the third quarter of 2010, resulting in lower gross profit; (2) capacity utilization was lower, resulting in lower gross profit margins of corrugating medium and offset printing paper in the third quarter of 2010. As explained above, when comparing third quarter 2011 to the comparable quarter in 2010, total sales revenue of corrugating medium and offset printing paper grew 61.66%, while total cost of sales grew 51.15%, both contributing to the $4,001,396 or 119.11% increase in gross profit. The overall gross profit margin for corrugating medium paper and offset printing paper for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased by 5.50%, from 15.47% a year ago to 20.97%. Because of the 31.11% increase in product ASP during the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period a year ago, gross profit margin for corrugating medium paper for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was 27.59%, substantially higher than the 15.85% gross profit margin for corrugating medium paper for the third quarter of 2010. On the other hand, total offset printing paper generated a 18.05% gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2011 as opposed to 15.91% in the same period in 2010.
We generated $319,973 of gross profit from sales of offset printing paper purchased under the Supply Agreements during the three months ended September 30, 2011. Gross profit margins for the offset printing paper purchased by us during the three months ended September 30, 2011 was 6.35% (or 9.25% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010) and was substantially lower than the gross profit margin of offset printing paper that was manufactured internally.
Monthly Gross Profit Margins on the sales of our corrugating medium and offset printing paper for the 15-month period ending September 30, 2011 are as follows:
Gross profit from the sales of digital photo paper for the three months ended September 30, 2011 amounted to $633,207, or 32.13% as a percentage to total digital photo paper sales. The third quarter 2011 gross profit percentage represents a substantial decline as compared to the 35.98% gross profit percentage during the same period last year. This decline is due to our decision to lower the ASP as explained above.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $461,312, a decrease of $620,928 or 57.37% from $1,082,240 for the comparable period in 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to third quarter 2010 payments of various professional service fees including, more specifically, legal fees incurred in connection with an independent internal investigation and a litigation of the shareholder class action as described below in “Legal Proceedings.” For the three months ended September 30, 2011, total expenses incurred or accrued for investors relations, legal and accounting/auditing fees amounted to $71,287, $101,537 and $94,229, respectively as opposed to $166,499, $367,589 and $183,333 during the comparable period in 2010.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
Revenue of Offset Printing Paper and Corrugating Medium Paper
Revenue of offset printing (including minor revenue from sales of Diazo and copy papers for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 only) and corrugating medium paper for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $105,458,805, an increase of $20,518,103 or 24.16% from $84,940,702 for the comparable period in 2010. The increase in total offset printing and corrugating medium paper revenue was mainly attributable to (1) the lower production quantities in the third quarter of 2010 due to the installation of two new boilers to replace two old boilers that were removed, (2) the increase in product ASPs caused by a stronger customer demand driven by the 2011 Mandatory Closure, and (3) increased sales of purchased finished goods pursuant to the Supply Agreements in the first three quarters of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010.
Revenue from corrugating medium paper amounted to $30,293,937 (or 27.09% of total revenue) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing a $3,101,523 (or 11.41%) increase over the corrugating medium paper revenue of $27,192,414 for the comparable period in 2010. We sold 75,141 tons of corrugating medium paper in the first three quarters in year 2011 versus 86,342 tons sold in the same period a year ago, a drop of 12.97% due to the disposal of a smaller corrugating medium paper production line in June 2010 to make room for a new production line. On the other hand, ASP for corrugating medium paper in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 rose from $315/ton to $403/ton (a 27.94% increase), which we believe is a result of increasing disparity between regional supply and demand and the higher market pricing levels for various raw materials and production elements.
Revenue from medium-grade offset printing paper amounted to $75,164,868 (or 67.21% of total revenue) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which represents an $17,436,399 (or 30.20%) increase over the medium-grade offset printing paper revenue of $57,728,469 for the comparable period in 2010. We sold 93,210 tons of medium-grade offset printing paper in the first three quarters of 2011 versus 79,399 tons a year ago, an increase of 13,811 tons or 17.39%. The main factor contributing to the increase in quantity sold is the trading of offset printing paper that we purchased from third-party suppliers pursuant to the Supply Agreements as explained above. We sold 25,911 tons of medium-grade offset printing paper (or 27.80% of total tonnage of offset printing paper sold) that we purchased under the Supply Agreements during the first nine months of year 2011, versus 6,826 tons in the comparable period in 2010. In addition, there was a substantial increase in offset printing paper ASP in year 2011 due to the strong demand and a regional shortage in supplies. Our ASP for medium-grade offset printing paper rose from $727/ton for the first three quarters of 2010 to $806/ton (a 10.87% increase) for the first three quarters of 2011.
A summary of the above changes and further analyses of the changes in our sales revenue are as follows:

Revenue of Digital Photo Paper
We did not start to produce and sell digital photo paper until March of 2010. Revenue generated from selling digital photo paper was $6,375,559 (or 5.70% of total revenue) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $2,780,940 (or 3.17% of total revenue) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010:

|  | Nine Months Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |  |  |  |  |  | Percentage |
Sales |  | September 30, 2011 |  |  | September 30, 2010 |  |  | Change in |  |  | Change |
Revenue |  | Qty.(Ton) |  |  | Amount |  |  | Qty.(Ton) |  |  | Amount |  |  | Qty.(Ton) |  |  | Amount |  |  | Qty.(Ton) |  |  | Amount |
Digital Photo Paper |  |  | 1,579.28 |  |  | $ | 6,375,559 |  |  |  | 495.21 |  |  | $ | 2,780,940 |  |  |  | 1,084.07 |  |  | $ | 3,594,619 |  |  |  | 218.91 | % |  |  | 129.26 | %

Cost of Sales
Total cost of sales (excluding cost of sales of digital photo paper, which was not produced and sold until March 2010) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $83,095,328, an increase of $14,725,895 or 21.54% from $68,369,433 for the comparable period in 2010. The increase in cost of sales is appears to be consistent with the 24.16% increase in total sales revenue (excluding revenue of digital photo paper).
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, cost of sales for digital photo paper was $4,163,936, as compared to $1,563,523 for the same period in year 2010. The increase of the cost of sales of total digital photo paper in the amount of $2,600,413 represents a 166.32% increase over the comparable period in 2010.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for corrugating medium paper and offset printing paper for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $22,363,477, an increase of $5,792,208 or 34.95% from $16,571,269 for the comparable period in 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to a number of factors, including substantial increases of 27.94% and 10.87% in product ASPs in 2011 for corrugating medium paper and offset printing paper, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in gross profit in the first three quarters of year 2011 was offset by the substantially lower gross profit margin generated by the sales of purchased offset printing paper pursuant to the Supply Agreements, which did not contribute to the Company’s gross profit until August 2010. Although purchased offset printing paper under the Supply Agreements accounted for 27.8% of the total offset printing paper sold in the first three quarters of year 2011, gross profit generated from sales of purchased offset printing paper for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was only $1,245,532, or 5.97% of the sales revenue of total finished goods of $20,876,513 for the period.
Because of the 27.94% increase in corrugating medium paper ASP in the first three quarters of 2011 as compared to the same period a year ago, gross profit of corrugating medium paper expressed as a percentage of sales was 29.24%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing a substantial increase over the 18.21% gross profit margin of corrugating medium paper in the first three quarters of year 2010. Gross profit margin for total offset printing paper for the first three quarters of 2011 was 17.97%, which is lower by 2.69% than the 20.66% gross profit margin during the comparable period a year ago. Although ASP for medium-grade offset printing paper increased by 10.87% as opposed to the comparable period in year 2010, it did not result in any increase in offset printing paper gross profit margin in year 2011 because of the low gross profit margin attributable to the sales of purchased finished goods pursuant to the Supply Agreements. The overall gross profit margin of all corrugating medium and offset printing paper for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 21.21%, up 1.70% as opposed to 19.51% for the overall corrugating medium and offset printing paper gross profit margin during the same period a year ago.
Gross profit from the sales of digital photo paper for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 amounted to $2,211,623, or 34.69% as a percentage of total digital photo paper sales during the period. Gross profit and gross profit margin of digital photo paper from inception to September 30, 2010 were $1,217,417 and 43.78%, respectively. Gross profit margin of digital photo paper in the first nine months of 2011 compared lower than the gross profit margin in the same period a year ago because of an aggressive ASP reduction implemented toward the end of the first half of year 2010 due to producing and selling different product types.

Income from Operations
Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $22,464,195, an increase of $7,933,468 or 54.60% from $14,530,727 for the comparable period in 2010. In addition to the $6,786,414 increase in overall consolidated gross profit, the increase in income from operation was also attributable to the $1,082,454 loss on disposition of assets recognized in the third quarter of 2010, when we demolished a smaller production line and other old warehouse buildings to make room for the new corrugating medium paper facilities. Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $2,041,277, a slight decrease of $118,662, or 5.49% from the comparable period a year ago.
Net Income
Net income was $16,145,634 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $5,903,457 or 57.64% from $10,242,177 for the comparable period in 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to the increased sales revenue and gross profit during the first three quarters of year 2011.
Accounts Receivable
Net accounts receivable and trade notes receivable increased by $361,803 (or 16.85%) to $2,509,577 as of September 30, 2011, compared with $2,147,774 (including notes receivable in the amount of $308,539) as of December 31, 2010. Our year-end balance was lower than our normal quarter-end balance due to a more aggressive collection effort toward the end of the calendar year, a common practice followed by many Chinese businesses. The September 30, 2011 balance represents a decrease in the amount of $1,935,111, or 43.54%, over the September 30, 2010 balance of $4,444,688. The decrease is due to an effort to tighten customer credit to boost our cash flow condition for paying capital expenditure items in the first three quarters of year 2011 over the comparable period in year 2010. We usually collect accounts receivable within 30 days of delivery and completion of sales.
Inventory
Inventory consists of raw materials (accounting for 72.76% of total value of ending inventory as of September 30, 2011) and finished goods. As of September 30, 2011, the recorded value of our inventory had decreased by 50.16% to $3,699,579 from $7,422,518 as of December 31, 2010. Despite rising raw material prices in the last few quarters, we believe that major raw materials costs may have begun to stabilize and therefore, decided to lower the level of certain raw materials (e.g., recycled paper board and recycled white scrap paper) on-hand inventory as of September 30, 2011 in order to conserve cash to pay for capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2011. A summary of changes in major inventory items is as follows:

|  | September 30, 2011 |  |  | December 31, 2010 |  |  | $ Change |  |  | % Change |
Raw Materials |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Recycled paper board |  | $ | 1,690,594 |  |  | $ | 3,807,678 |  |  | $ | (2,117,084 | ) |  |  | -55.60 | %
Pulp |  |  | 13,640 |  |  |  | 13,180 |  |  |  | 406 |  |  |  | 3.49 | %
Recycled printed paper |  |  | 200,286 |  |  |  | 593,604 |  |  |  | (393,318 | ) |  |  | -66.26 | %
Recycled white scrap paper |  |  | 432,187 |  |  |  | 801,783 |  |  |  | (369,596 | ) |  |  | -46.10 | %
Coal |  |  | 104,171 |  |  |  | 1,441,082 |  |  |  | (1,336,911 | ) |  |  | -92.77 | %
Digital photo base paper and other raw materials |  |  | 250,919 |  |  |  | 151,269 |  |  |  | 99,650 |  |  |  | 65.88 | %
Total Raw Materials |  |  | 2,691,797 |  |  |  | 6,808,596 |  |  |  | (4,116,799 | ) |  |  | -60.46 | %
Finished Goods |  |  | 1,007,782 |  |  |  | 613,922 |  |  |  | 393,860 |  |  |  | 64.15 | %
Totals |  | $ | 3,699,579 |  |  | $ | 7,422,518 |  |  | $ | (3,722,939 | ) |  |  | -50.16 | %

Accounts Payable
Accounts payable (excluding non-inventory purchase payables and accrued expenses) was $144,686 as of September 30, 2011, a decrease of $268,782 or 65.01% from $413,468 as of December 31, 2010, due to two large accounts payable payments on September 29, 2011 for recycled printed paper and coal previously purchased. With few exceptions, such as the large payments immediately prior to the quarterly cut-off date by the end of this quarter, our year-end balance of accounts payable usually is substantially lower than our normal quarter-end balance because of a more aggressive collection effort by our vendors toward the end of the calendar year, a common practice followed by many Chinese businesses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of September 30, 2011 we had net working capital of $5,160,308, a decrease of $4,187,618 over net working capital of $9,347,926 at December 31, 2010.
The Company finances its daily operations mainly by cash flows generated from its business operations and loans from banking institutions and major shareholders. Major capital expenditures in the first three quarters of 2011 were primarily financed by cash flows generated from business operations. As of September 30, 2011 we had approximately $5,077,171 in capital expenditure commitments that were mainly related to the construction of a new corrugating medium paper production line and will be satisfied by payment of cash within the next 12 months. In addition to the binding contracts that we have entered into, we are considering capital expenditure plans with estimated costs of up to $4 million in the fourth quarters of 2011. These plans include building new warehouse spaces and construction of three 6-story employee dormitory buildings.
Within the next 12 months we also intend to complete the acquisition of land that was originally approved by the government for approximately 667,000 square meters. If the entire 667,000 square meters is acquired at the unit price offered as of June 2010, the acquisition would cost approximately $14,500,000 in financial compensation to the current land owners and in land use rights from the government. However, similar to many other recent land acquisition transactions in China, the acquisition process has met significant opposition by some local residents. These opposing local residents hold various objections to the terms of the acquisition and amount of compensation that we offer. While the provincial and local governments are fully supportive for the proposed acquisition, it has been a recent trend in China that eminent domain not be exercised for fear of civil unrest. Under these circumstances, we are evaluating the options of (1) acquiring only a portion of the square footage as originally planned, (2) possibly raising the unit price of our compensation offer, or (3) withdrawing from the transaction and seeking other locations following a full refund of the security deposit put down on the 667,000 square meters land plot. As of September 30, 2011, we have pre-paid a security deposit of $7,200,438 to the local village council toward the purchase of the land and have taken possession of some 80,040 square meters of land. We expect to consummate a partial closing of an additional 30,015 square meters during the fourth quarter of year 2011 and to start the second phase of the acquisition, which involves the application and securing of the land use rights permit.
If we are able to obtain a significant portion of the 667,000 square meters, we expect to finance the acquisition with our working capital, net cash inflows generated from business operations during the remainder of the year 2011, and if necessary, loans from local Chinese banks. We do not have any firm commitment from the local banks with respect to new credit facilities in addition to all current bank borrowings, which aggregated to approximately $8,476,168 as of September 30, 2011. However, based on the present loan to equity ratio (which is less than 7% as of September 30, 2011), we do not believe the Company will have problem securing additional bank loans as needed, unless the macroeconomic condition in China changes (e.g. government policies tighten bank credit facilities as a tool to control inflation).
The Company currently does not have any plans for equity financing in the next 12 months.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our cash and cash equivalents at the end of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $4,945,142, a decrease of $6,402,966 from $11,348,108 as of December 31, 2010. The decrease over the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to a number of factors, including the following:
i. Net cash provided by operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $21,728,462 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase of $7,643,287 or 54.26% from $14,085,175 for the comparable period in 2010. The net income of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 in the amount of $16,145,634 represented an increase of $5,903,457 or 57.64% from $10,242,177 for the comparable period in 2010. In addition to net income, there are certain non-cash charges (including depreciation in the amount of $3,311,618) that reduced the net income but did not have the effect of reducing the balance of cash and cash equivalents. Net cash flow from operating activities was also increased mainly due to a decreased inventory balance (and an increase in operating cash flow) of $3,921,066. On the other hand, the increase in accounts receivable balances in the amount of $294,494, a decrease in accounts payable in the amount of $278,873, and a decrease in other payables and accrued liabilities for $1,030,876 mainly contributed to additional cash outflows from the cash collected from operating activities.

ii. Net cash used in investing activities
The Company incurred $29,524,636 in cash expenditures for investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. These expenditures were mainly for purchases of new equipment and progress payments for the construction of a new corrugating medium paper production line and ancillary facilities. The total contract price for the new corrugating medium paper production equipment, which will have an annual capacity of 360,000 tons, is $30,187,220, of which only $15,653 was unpaid as of September 30, 2011. In addition, cost of contracts that we entered into to build other ancillary facilities for the new corrugating medium paper production line amounted to $16,810,354, of which $5,061,518 was unpaid as of September 30, 2011. Such ancillary facilities included a new pulping station and water treatment plant. We expect to finance any future capital expenditure commitment with our current cash and cash equivalent balance of approximately $4.9 million or/and from cash flows from operating activities in the next twelve months.
The Company made an $11,896,376 land acquisition deposit payment to the local resident’s council in June 2010. The local resident’s council is in charge of the reimbursement and relocation of the residents who occupied the parcel of subject land prior to our interest in acquisition of that land. Unsatisfied with the slow progress of the acquisition, we demanded partial returns of the deposit from the local resident village council in December 2010 and received two refunds in the total amount of $4,695,938. In addition to the remaining deposit, to complete the land acquisition at the price we offered as of June 2010, we estimate that the entire land acquisition process will require an additional amount of approximately $14,500,000 (based on an estimated total average cost of approximately $31.78 per square meter) of cash payment in the next nine to twelve months. We expect to pay this amount using future cash flows generated by our operating activities. As explained above, if we are unable to acquire and close the transaction for at least a meaningful portion of the subject land in the next three months, we may demand the full refund of our deposit from the local resident village council.
iii. Net cash provided by financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,289,995 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $25,099,870 for the comparable period in 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the company paid off the principal balance and accrued interest of (1) the RMB 13,000,000 (approximately $1,966,182 at December 31, 2010) short-term loan from the Industrial & Commercial Bank of China (“ICBC”) on the renewal date of January 11, 2011, (2) the RMB 13,280,000 ($2,008,530 at December 31, 2010) long-term loan from the Rural Credit Cooperative of Xushui County, and (3) on July 19, 2011, the RMB 6,000,000 ($907,468 at December 31, 2010) accounts receivable factoring facility from ICBC when the loan becomes due.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us 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 periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The most critical accounting policies are listed below:
Revenue Recognition Policy
The Company recognizes revenue when goods are delivered and 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. Goods are considered delivered when the customer’s truck picks up goods at our finished goods inventory warehouse.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets and the related estimated remaining useful lives when events or circumstances lead management to believe that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. In such circumstances, those assets are written down to estimated fair value. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on market conditions, assumptions for operational performance of our businesses, and possible government policy toward operating efficiency of the Chinese paper manufacturing industry. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, no events or circumstances occurred for which an evaluation of the recoverability of long-lived assets was required. We are currently not aware of any events or circumstances that may indicate any need to record such impairment in the future.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of HBOP and Baoding Shengde is the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”). Under ASC Topic 830-30, all assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars using the current exchange rate at the end of each fiscal period. The current exchange rates used by the Company as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 to translate the Chinese RMB to the U.S. Dollars are 6.3885:1 and 6.61180:1, respectively. Revenues and expenses are translated using the prevailing average exchange rates at 6.4884:1, and 6.83475:1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income (loss).
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Contractual Obligations
We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments as of September 30, 2011. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

|  | Payments Due by Period |  |  |  |
Contractual Obligations |  | Total |  |  | Less than 1 year |  |  | 1 – 3 years |  |  | 3 – 5 years |  |  | More than 5 years |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, which is a new accounting guidance to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The guidance changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance but believes the adoption of it will have no material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which is a new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income that will require a company to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive statements. There are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current GAAP. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. It is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. Currently, the Company evaluated the effect of ASU 2011-05 on its financial statements and has concluded that it would have no impact on the Company's results of operations.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, which were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure (1) that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes with respect to our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting in the quarterly period ended September 30, 2011.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. | Legal Proceedings.

On August 6, 2010, a stockholder class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the Company, certain current and former officers and directors of the Company, and Roth Capital Partners, LLP. The complaint in the lawsuit, Mark Henning v. Orient Paper et al., CV-10-5887 RSWL (AJWx), alleges, among other claims, that the Company issued materially false and misleading statements and omitted to state material facts that rendered its affirmative statements misleading as they related to the Company’s financial performance, business prospects, and financial condition, and that the defendants failed to prevent such statements from being issued or corrected. The complaint seeks, among other relief, compensatory damages and plaintiff’s counsel’s fees and experts’ fees. Mr. Henning purports to sue on his own behalf and on behalf of a class consisting of the Company’s stockholders (other than the defendants and their affiliates). The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on January 28, 2011, and the Company filed a motion to dismiss with the court on March 14, 2011. On July 20, 2011 the court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss, thus allowing the litigation to proceed to discovery. Nevertheless, at this stage of the proceedings, management cannot opine that a favorable outcome for the company is probable or that an unfavorable outcome to the company is remote. While certain legal defense costs may be later reimbursed by the Company’s insurance carrier, no reasonable estimate of any impact of the outcome of the litigation or related legal fees on the financial statements can be made as of date of this statement.
On April 1, 2011 the Company was served a summon for a complaint filed by Tribank Capital Investments, Inc. (“Tribank”) on March 30, 2011 in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles against the Company and its Chairman and CEO Mr. Zhenyong Liu (the “Tribank Matter”). By filing the complaint, Tribank alleges, among other claims, that the Company breached the Non-Circumvention Agreement dated October 29, 2008 between the Company and Tribank (the “Agreement”), and that the Company was unjustly enriched as a result of breaching the Agreement. The complaint seeks, among other relief, compensatory damages and plaintiff’s counsel’s fees. On April 29, 2011 the Company filed a Notice of Removal to remove the jurisdiction of the case from the state court of California to the Federal District Court for the District of Central California and filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on May 6, 2011. On July 18, 2011, United States District Court Judge Manual Real granted Orient Paper motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety, finding that venue is improper because the contract that forms the basis of the parties' relationship contains a valid and enforceable forum selection clause providing that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China is the exclusive forum for resolution of disputes. On August 4, 2011, the Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal of the Order granting the Company’s motion to dismiss. The Company continues to believe that the action is without merit, and will vigorously defend this appeal and any further litigation brought by Plaintiff.
