This Information Statement is being furnished to the holders of record of shares of the common stock (the Common Stock) of China XD Plastics Company Limited f/k/a NB Telecom, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the Company), as of the close of business on the record date, January 9, 2009. The purpose of the Information Statement is to notify our stockholders that on January 8, 2009, the Company received a written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders (the Written Consent) from the holder of 405,864 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, representing 50.36%, of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, respectively, representing 70.22% of the voting power of the combined classes of stock which is calculated as follows: the 805,802 shares of Common Stock of the Company represents 60% of the voting power and the 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock represents 40% of the voting power. Therefore, the stockholder which owns 405,864 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock accounts for (a) 50.36% of the Common Stock 60% voting block or 50.36% multiplied by 60%, which equates to 30.22% of the total voting power of the Company, and (b) 100% of the Series B Preferred Stock voting block or 100% multiplied by 40% which equates to 40% of the total voting power of the Company. The aggregate voting power from the two classes of stock is 30.22% and 40% which equals 70.22% total. The stockholder acquired its shares of Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock of the Company pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 24, 2008 entered into by the Company. The Written Consent adopted the following resolutions, which authorized the Company to amend the Companys Articles of Incorporation for the purpose of increasing the authorized capital from 10,805,802 shares, consisting of 805,802 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 to 550,000,000 authorized capital, consisting of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001.
Because a stockholder holding at least a majority of the voting rights of our outstanding Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock has voted in favor of the foregoing resolutions, and has sufficient voting power to approve such actions through his ownership of common stock, no other shareholder consents will be solicited in connection with the transactions described in this Information Statement. The Board is not soliciting proxies in connection with the adoption of these resolutions and proxies are not requested from stockholders.
In accordance with our bylaws, our board of directors has fixed the close of business on January 9, 2009 as the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the above noted actions. This Information Statement is being mailed on or about January 19, 2009 to stockholders of record on the record date.
We will pay all costs associated with the distribution of this Information Statement, including the costs of printing and mailing. In addition, we will only deliver one information statement to multiple security holders sharing an address, unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the security holders. Also, we will promptly deliver a separate copy of this information statement and future stockholder communication documents to any security holder at a shared address to which a single copy of this information statement was delivered, or deliver a single copy of this information statement and future stockholder communication documents to any security holder or holders sharing an address to which multiple copies are now delivered, upon written request to us at our address noted above.
Security holders may also address future requests regarding delivery of information statements by contacting us at the address noted above.
Approval to amend the current Articles of Incorporation of the Company under the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Section 78.390 (the Amendment) require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company must approve the Amendment.
In addition, NRS 78.320 provides in substance that stockholders may take action without a meeting of the stockholders and without prior notice if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of the outstanding voting shares holding not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to approve such action at a stockholders meeting. This action is effective when written consents from holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of voting stock are executed and delivered to the Company.
The Company has two classes of voting stock outstanding consisting of Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. There are currently 805,802 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, and each share of Common Stock is entitled to 1 vote. The holder of the Series B Preferred Stock has voting power equivalent to 40% of the total voting power of all Common Stock holders of the Company. Accordingly, by way of example, the vote or written consent of (1) the stockholders holding at least 671,502 shares of the Common Stock or (2) the stockholder holding at least the 1,000,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding and at least an additional 134,301 shares of the Common Stock is necessary to approve the filing of the Certificate of Amendment. In accordance with our bylaws, our board of directors has fixed the close of business on January 9, 2009 as the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote or give written consent.

On January 8, 2009, a stockholder holding 405,864 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, representing 50.36%, of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (representing 70.22% of the voting power of the combined classes of stock) executed and delivered to the Company the Written Consent. Accordingly, in compliance with the NRS, at least a majority of the outstanding shares has approved the Amendment. As a result, no vote or proxy is required by the stockholders to approve the adoption of the foregoing resolutions.
Under Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), the Articles of Amendment may not be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State until twenty calendar days after this Information Statement is first mailed to our stockholders. As mentioned earlier the Amendment will become effective upon the filing of the Articles of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, which is anticipated to be on or about February 9, 2009, twenty days after the mailing of this Information Statement.
On January 8, 2009, the Company received a written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders (the Written Consent) from the holder of 405,864 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, representing 50.36%, of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock having a total voting power of 40%, respectively, representing 70.22% of the voting power of the combined classes of stock which is calculated as follows: the 805,802 shares of Common Stock of the Company represents 60% of the voting power and the 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock represents 40% of the voting power. Therefore, the stockholder which owns 405,864 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock accounts for (a) 50.36% of the Common Stock 60% voting block or 50.36% multiplied by 60%, which equates to 30.22% of the total voting power of the Company, and (b) 100% of the Series B Preferred Stock voting block or 100% multiplied by 40% which equates to 40% of the total voting power of the Company. The aggregate voting power from the two classes of stock is 30.22% and 40% which equals 70.22% total. The Written Consent adopted the resolutions, which authorized the Company to amend the Companys Articles of Incorporation for the purpose of increasing the authorized capital from 10,805,802 shares, consisting of 805,802 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 to 550,000,000 authorized capital, consisting of 500,000,000 shares of common stock par value $0.0001, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001. The text of the proposed Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation which contains the increase in the authorized capital is attached hereto as Appendix I. This Amendment will not affect total stockholder equity but will increase the authorized capitalization of the Company. Subsequent to the Amendment and the conversion of the 1,000,000 shares of the convertible Series A Preferred Stock, there will be approximately 39,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company issued and outstanding.
3
Our Board of Directors believes that by increasing the number of authorized capital of the Company will give the Company more flexibility to meet its obligations. Currently, the Company does not have sufficient shares of Common Stock authorized to (a) honor certain post merger contractual obligations under that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger the Company entered into on December 24, 2008 whereby there are 1,000,000 shares of convertible Series A preferred stock of the Company convertible into approximately 1:38.2 into 38,194,072 shares of Common Stock of the Company, and (b) allow for future transactions to raise the working capital funds of the Company. Accordingly, the Company needs to increase its authorized share capital. Subsequent to the Amendment and the conversion of the 1,000,000 shares of the convertible Series A Preferred Stock, there will be approximately 39,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company issued and outstanding. Management of the Company currently does not have any loans, proposals or arrangements with respect to future transactions to raise the working capital funds of the Company as referenced above.
The additional Common Stock authorized by the proposed amendment would have rights identical to our currently outstanding Common Stock. Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to 1 vote per share. The additional Series B Preferred Stock authorized by the proposed amendment would have rights identical to our currently outstanding Series B Preferred Stock such that holders of Series B Preferred Stock have voting power equivalent to 40% of the total voting power of all Common Stock holders of the Company. Holders of our Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, including the election of directors, and except as otherwise required by law, the holders of such shares will exclusively possess all voting power. Holders of Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock do not have the right to cumulative voting for the election of directors. Subject to the preferential rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock, the holders of Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to such dividends as may be declared from time to time by our Board from funds legally available therefore and will be entitled to receive pro rata all of our assets available for distribution to such holders upon liquidation. The Board further believes that it is in Companys best interests to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock in order to provide the Company with the flexibility to issue Common Stock without further action by the Companys stockholders (unless required by law or regulation) for such other corporate purposes as the Board may deem advisable. These purposes may include, among other things, the sale of shares to obtain additional capital funds, the purchase of property, the use of additional shares for various equity compensation and other employee benefit plans of the Company or of acquired companies, the acquisition of other companies, and other bona fide purposes.

Harbin Xinda Macromolecule Material Co., Ltd.
Harbin Xinda Macromolecule Material Co. Ltd. (Xinda) is a high-tech company that was founded in September 2004 under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China with registered capital of 20 million RMB (US$2,416,451). Xindas executive offices and manufacturing facility are located at No. 9 Qinling Road, Yingbin Road Centralized Industrial Park, Harbin Development Zone, Heilongjiang Province, in northeast China. Xinda engages in the development, manufacture, and distribution of modified plastic, primarily for use in automobiles. The technology that has enabled us to become Chinas leading producer of automotive modified plastics is carried in our wholly-owned research laboratory, Harbin Xinda Macromolecule Material Research Institute (the Research Institute), a subsidiary established in 2007. The Research Institute has developed into a leader in research and development for Chinas macromolecular industry. The Research Institute is outfitted with more than 80 sets of testing, analytical and production equipment used to analyze the physical and mechanical properties of the heat resistances, durability, stability, and environmental performance exhibited by modified plastics.
Modified plastic is produced by changing the physical and/or chemical characteristics of ordinary resin materials. In order for plastics to be used in the automobile environment, they must satisfy certain physical criteria in terms of electro-magnetic characteristics, reaction to light and heat, durability, flame resistance, and mechanical functionality. Xindas unique formulas and processing techniques enable us to produce low-cost high-quality modified plastic materials, which have been accepted by many of the major automobile manufacturers in China. In addition, we also provide specially engineered plastics and environment-friendly plastics for use in the assembly of equipment for oilfields, mining, ship power, power station equipment, and other industries.
18
Xindas primary market is the rapidly expanding Chinese automotive industry. In 2007 8.88 million automobiles were sold in China, which increased by 22% than previous year. It is estimated that the Chinese auto market will be growing by 15% annually in the coming years.ach automobile requires 100kg to 150 kg of modified plastic, which means that by 2010 the demand for modified plastic in the Chinese automobile industry will be approximately 1.2 million tons annually. Xindas existing facility has an annual production capacity of 40,000 tons. If we complete the acquisition of an additional 19 production lines, discussed below, our annual capacity will reach 100,000 tons.
Our specialized plastics are utilized in the exterior and interior trim and in the functional components of more than 30 automobile brands manufactured in China, including Audi, Red Flag, Volkswagen and Mazda. At present, Xinda manufactures approximately 145 types of automobile-specific modified plastic products, 117 of which have been certified for use by one or more of the automobile manufacturers in China. The automotive applications for our plastics include exteriors (automobile bumpers, rear- and side- view mirrors, license plate), interiors (door panels, dashboard, steering wheel, glove compartment and safety belt components), and functional components (air conditioner casing, heating and ventilation casing, engine covers, and air ducts).
Our 145 products are organized into seven categories, based on their physical characteristics:

Physical Plant and Production
Our executive offices and production facilities are located in the Harbin Development Zone in the City of Harbin, which is the provincial capital of Heilongjiang Province in northeast China. Our facility has a total usable area of 7,359 square meters (79,212 square feet). The facility includes six buildings with one office building attached by one workshop, one workshop, one storage room, one transformer station, and two guard rooms, with a usable area of 7,359 square meters (79,212 square feet). All the companys properties are insured by China Pacific Property Insurances Co., Ltd.
20
The land on which our facility is located measures 14,715 square meters (158,391 square feet). The land use right was issued to Xinda by the City of Harbin. The right will expire in 2053. Compliance with Chinese environmental regulations currently cost us 30,000 RMB ($4,392) annually. However during 2008 we are engaged in a ground remediation project to comply with new regulations. The cost of the project in 2008 will be 10,180,000 RMB ($1.5 million). As a result of the new regulations, our annual environmental compliance cost is expected to increase to 1,018,000 RMB ($150,000).
The process of manufacturing modified plastic consists of modifying a standard plastic (polypropylene, ABS, PA6, PA66, etc.) by adding various agents and additives that will alter the physical and/or functional characteristics of the plastic. Catalysts are added that facilitate the desired chemical reactions, all of which occurs in a specially designed equipment. The resulting plastics are then extracted from the equipment by an extraction technique that is proprietary to Xinda. Further processing may involve additional blending, extrusion, cooling and cutting, homogenizing and packing, as needed to meet the customers requirements.
In addition to its unique extraction technology, Xinda has developed its own techniques and equipment for many of the steps in the production process. Among the aspects of production for which Xinda has proprietary technology are product formulae, a technique for combining extruder screws, and certain stuffing techniques. With these unique formulas and techniques, our products can satisfy often clients standard requirements at a lower cost than competitive products.
Our facilities have been certified under the following international qualifications criteria: ISO9001: 2000 quality management system certification and ISO/TS16949: 2002 international auto parts industry quality systems certification. The government of China has designated Xinda as a National Torch Project and a National Spark Plan Project, and has given Xinda the Most Valuable High Tech in China award. Xinda is an executive member of the Council of the Chinese Automobile Parts Association, a member of the Chinese Modified Plastics Professional Committee, and a member of the Chinese Plastics Engineering Committee.
Asset Purchase Agreement
With the acceleration of the localization of China auto parts industry and the rapid increase of sales of special modified plastics for automobiles, it is estimated that the demand of special modified plastics for automobiles will increase from 0.728 million tons in 2006 to 1.20 million tons in 2010. Because of this, Xindas production capacity of automotive special modified plastics cannot meet with customers increasing order demand, and Xinda decides to achieve 0.1 million tons of special modified plastics for automobiles by 2010 through the form of acquiring all Xinda High-techs assets which is used to produce modified plastics for automobiles. Xinda and Xinda High-tech entered into an Assets Purchase Agreement on September 20, 2008.
21
Pursuant to the Assets Purchase Agreement, Xinda will purchase 6 buildings including office building, 19 full automatic production lines and related lands and subsidiary facilities. Xinda High-tech sold all facilities to Xinda at the price of 240 million RMB ($35 million). Xinda will pay all funds before the end of September, 2009.
Raw Materials
The principal raw materials used for the production of the Companys products are plastic resins such as polypropylene, ABS and nylon. Nearly 60% of these raw materials come from overseas petrochemical enterprises, and 40% from domestic petrochemical enterprises. All of our contracts for raw materials are one-year renewable contracts.
| Polypropylene is a chemical compound manufactured from petroleum. |
| Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), is a common thermoplastic used to make light, rigid, molded products such as automotive body parts and wheel covers. |
| Nylon is a thermoplastic silky material. |
Currently we have adequate access to these raw materials by dealing with major suppliers in the industry. Xinda has one-year renewable contracts with each of suppliers. Because the raw materials are mostly petroleum products, the rise of oil price will directly affect the cost for the raw materials. However, in that event, we should be able to pass the cost to our customers by raising the price for our products.
Because raw materials constitute a substantial part of the cost of our products, we seek to reduce the cost of raw materials by dealing with two major suppliers: Dalian Free Trade Zone Mankeri International Trade Co., Ltd. (Mankeri), and Dalian Lanhai International Trade Co., Ltd. During the nine months ended on September 30, 2008, Xinda purchased approximately 70% of its raw materials from Mankeri and 20% from Dalian Lanhai International Trade Co., Ltd. In 2007 we purchased 86% of our raw materials from Mankeri, and 80% in 2006. By dealing with these major suppliers, Xinda obtains reduced prices for raw materials, and thus reduces the cost of our products. If we were unable to purchase from Mankeri, we would still have adequate sources of raw materials from other petrochemical dealers, but the cost would increase by 1-2%.
Intellectual Property
Our Research Institute, Xinda Macromolecule Material Research Institute,was organized to provide us with ongoing additions to our technology, which represents the key to our competitive success. Our goal is to utilize state-of-the-art methods and equipment to produce plastics of the highest quality that are cost-efficient for our customers. Toward this end, we have staffed the Research Institute with 38 researcher employees, over 90% of whom have advanced degrees or specialized undergraduate training.
22
To supplement the efforts of our Research Institute, we have developed cooperative research programs with a number of the leading technology centers in China, including the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Science, the Beijing Chemical Engineering Institute, the Harbin Institute of Technology, the Northeast Forestry University, Jilin University, and the Korea HEP Institute. Besides providing specialized research and development skills, these relationships help us to formulate cutting edge research programs aimed at addressing developing issues in plastics engineering.
All our significant research and development activities are overseen by the members of our Scientific Advisory Board, which we have assembled from among the leaders in Chinas chemical engineering industry. Currently, the members of the Scientific Advisory Board are:
| Jin Yong: The member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, director of the Research Institute of Chemical Engineering Science and Technology at Tsinghua University. |

Xinda has a sales team of 18 persons, each with more than three years of sales experiences. In 2007, 93% of our sales were derived from the northeastern market, with continuing expansion into the northern and eastern regions of China.
Xinda sells directly to its customers or indirectly through sales agents. Xinda rates potential customers based on its Customer Estimation Management System. For those customers who can make payment within our collection period, Xinda sells products directly to them, and provides full after-sale services. These customers are usually the major automobile manufacturers who have certified our products. For potential customers who may not be able to make payment within our collection period, we assign a local sales agent to market to them.
24
We enter into Sales Agency Agreements with local agents in areas where large automobile manufacturers are located. The sales agents are responsible for developing the markets for our products and collecting payments from our customers. In distributing our products during the agency period, the agents are required to use Xindas product certificate, brand and package standards set by us. They must also reimburse us the amount of payment that the customers fail to make within our collection period. After the termination of the agency relationship, the customers developed by the agents are proprietary to Xinda.
During the past three years, the Company has sold most of its products in the three northeastern provinces of China: Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning. We expect to develop more customers in the cities and provinces located in the Eastern part of China, such as Shanghai and Zhejiang Province.
No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our sales during the nine months ended on September 30, 2008, or during 2007 or 2006.
Competition
Currently Xindas primary Chinese competitor in the automobile industry is a large industrial company named Guangzhou Kingfa Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (Guangzhou Kingfa). Guangzhou Kingfa entered the market in 2006 and its facilities with a manufacturing capacity of 100,000 tons are under construction. Guangzhou Kingfa has much larger financial resources than Xinda. Currently, however, it has fewer certified products and sells less modified plastic to the automobile industry than Xinda.
The Chinese auto market is dominated, however, by modified plastic manufactured overseas or in factories controlled by foreign companies. Almost 60% of the modified plastic used in Chinese automobiles is manufactured by non-Chinese fabricators, primarily manufacturers from Germany, the Netherlands and Japan. Although Xinda and its Chinese competitors compare very favourably with these foreign competitors in terms of price, service and delivery times, the lack of production capacity in the Chinese modified plastics industry has allowed the foreign competition to remain dominant in that industry.
Employees
Xindas operations are organized into seven operational departments such as technologies, sales, supply, R&D and finance. There are currently 296 full-time employees, including 94 in manufacturing, 38 in R&D, 32 in management, 13 in financial department, 18 in sales, purchasing and marketing and 132 in other departments.

Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the risks described below before buying our common stock. If any of the risks described below were realized, that event could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Our business operations are conducted entirely in China. Because Chinas economy and its laws, regulations and policies are different from those typically found in the west and are continually changing, we will face risks including those summarized below.
China is a developing nation governed by a one-party government and may be more susceptible to political, economic, and social upheaval than other nations.
China is a developing country governed by a one-party government. China is also a country with an extremely large population, widening income gaps between rich and poor and between urban and rural residents, minority ethnic and religious populations, and growing access to information about the different social, economic, and political systems to be found in other countries. China has also experienced extremely rapid economic growth over the last decade, and its legal and regulatory systems have changed rapidly to accommodate this growth. These conditions make China unique and may make it susceptible to major structural changes. Such changes could include a reversal of Chinas movement to encourage private economic activity, labor disruptions or other organized protests, nationalization of private businesses, internal conflicts between the police or military and the citizenry, and international political or military conflict. If any of these events were to occur, it could shut down Chinas economy and cause us to temporarily or permanently cease operations.
The PRCs laws, regulations and policies, and changes to them, may limit our ability to operate profitably or prevent us from operating at all.
Our stores and distribution centers, as well as our suppliers and the agricultural producers on whom they depend, are located in China. The PRC government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy, including the production, distribution and sale of our merchandise. In particular, we are subject to regulation by local and national branches of the Ministries of Commerce and Transportation, as well as the General Administration of Quality Supervision, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, and other regulatory bodies. In order to operate under PRC law, we require valid licenses, certificates and permits, which must be renewed from time to time. If we were to fail to obtain the necessary renewals for any reason, including sudden or unexplained changes in local regulatory practice, we could be required to shut down all or part of our operations temporarily or permanently.
26
Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to agriculture, taxation, land use rights and other matters. Such changes could be made at the national or local level and in the form of: farm subsidies; corporate tax rates; employee benefits; leaseholder or land-use rights; enforceability of contracts; intellectual property; or retail pricing. The effects of such changes on our business cannot be predicted but could be significant.
All of our assets are located in China. So any dividends or proceeds from liquidation are subject to the approval of the relevant Chinese government agencies.
Our assets are located inside China. Under the laws governing FIEs in China, dividend distribution and liquidation are allowed but subject to special procedures under the relevant laws and rules. Any dividend payment will be subject to the decision of the board of directors and subject to foreign exchange rules governing such repatriation. Any liquidation is subject to both the relevant government agencys approval and supervision as well the foreign exchange control. This may generate additional risk for our investors in case of dividend payment or liquidation.
Because our funds are held in banks which do not provide insurance, the failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could affect our ability to continue in business.
Banks and other financial institutions in the Peoples Republic of China do not provide insurance for funds held on deposit. As a result, in the event of a bank failure, we may not have access to funds on deposit. Depending upon the amount of money we maintain in a bank that fails, our inability to have access to our cash could impair our operations, and, if we are not able to access funds to pay our suppliers, employees and other creditors, we may be unable to continue in business.
Anti-inflation measures may be ineffective or harm our ability to do business in China.
In recent years, the PRC government has instituted anti-inflationary measures to curb the risk of an overheated economy characterized by debilitating inflation. These measures have included devaluations of the renminbi, restrictions on the availability of domestic credit, and limited re-centralization of the approval process for some international transactions. These austerity measures may not succeed in slowing down the economys excessive expansion or control inflation, or they may slow the economy below a healthy growth rate and lead to economic stagnation or recession; in the worst-case scenario, the measures could slow the economy without curbing inflation. The PRC government could adopt additional measures to further combat inflation, including the establishment of price freezes or moratoriums certain projects or transactions. Such measures could harm the economy generally and hurt our business by limiting the income of our customers available to purchase our merchandise, by forcing us to lower our profit margins, and by limiting our ability to obtain credit or other financing to pursue our expansion plans or maintain our business.
27
Governmental control of currency conversions may affect the value of your investment.
All of our revenue is earned in renminbi, and any future restrictions on currency conversions may limit our ability to use revenue generated in renminbi to make dividend or other payments in U.S. dollars. Although the PRC government introduced regulations in 1996 to allow greater convertibility of the renminbi for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain, including primarily the restriction that foreign-invested enterprises like us may buy, sell or remit foreign currencies only after providing valid commercial documents at a PRC banks specifically authorized to conduct foreign-exchange business.
In addition, conversion of renminbi for capital account items, including direct investment and loans, is subject to governmental approval in the PRC, and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign-exchange accounts for capital account items. There is no guarantee that PRC regulatory authorities will not impose additional restrictions on the convertibility of the renminbi. Such restrictions could prevent us from distributing dividends and thereby reduce the value of our stock.
The fluctuation of the exchange rate of the renminbi against the dollar could reduce the value of your investment.
The value of our common stock will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and renminbi. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars we receive from an offering of our securities into renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the renminbi against the U.S. Dollar could reduce the value in renminbi of our funds. Conversely, if we decide to convert our renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of declaring dividends on our common stock or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the renminbi, the U.S. dollar equivalent of our earnings from The Company, our subsidiary in China, would be reduced. In addition, the depreciation of significant U.S. Dollar-denominated assets could result in a charge to our income statement and a reduction in the value of these assets.
28
On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the renminbi to the U.S. Dollar. Under the new policy, the renminbi is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an appreciation of the renminbi against the U.S. dollar of approximately 12% as of the date of this report. While the international reaction to the renminbi revaluation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further andmoresignificant appreciation of the renminbi against the U.S. Dollar.
We receive all of our revenues in renminbi. The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the China. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict our ability to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends, or otherwise satisfy foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from the transaction, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate governmental authorities is required where renminbi are to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of the PRC to pay capital expenses, such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies.
The PRC government could also restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay certain expenses as they come due.
Recently-modified SAFE regulations may restrict our ability to remit profits out of China as dividends.
SAFE Regulations regarding offshore financing activities by PRC residents have recently undergone a number of changes which may increase the administrative burdens we face. The failure of our stockholders who are PRC residents to make any required applications and filings pursuant to these regulations may prevent us from being able to distribute profits and could expose us and our PRC-resident stockholders to liability under PRC law.
SAFE issued a public notice (the October Notice), effective as of November 1, 2005, and implementation rules in May 2007, which require registration with SAFE by the PRC-resident stockholders of any foreign holding company of a PRC entity. These regulations apply to our stockholders who are PRC residents. In the absence of such registration, the PRC entity cannot remit any of its profits out of the PRC as dividends or otherwise.
29
In the event that our PRC-resident stockholders have not followed the procedures required under the October Notice and its implementation rules, we could lose the ability to remit monies outside of the PRC and would therefore be unable to pay dividends or make other distributions, and we could face liability for evasion of foreign-exchange regulations. Such consequences could affect our good standing under PRC regulations and our ability to operate in the PRC, and could therefore diminish the value of your investment.
Chinas legal and judicial system may not adequately protect our business and operations and the rights of foreign investors.
Chinas legal and judicial system may negatively impact foreign investors. In 1982, the National Peoples Congress amended the Constitution of China to authorize foreign investment and guarantee the lawful rights and interests of foreign investors in the China. However, the Chinas system of laws is not yet comprehensive. The legal and judicial systems in the China are still rudimentary, and enforcement of existing laws is inconsistent. Many judges in the China lack the depth of legal training and experience that would be expected of a judge in a more developed country. Because the China judiciary is relatively inexperienced in enforcing the laws that do exist, anticipation of judicial decision-making is more uncertain than would be expected in a more developed country. It may be impossible to obtain swift and equitable enforcement of laws that do exist, or to obtain enforcement of the judgment of one court by a court of another jurisdiction. The Chinas legal system is based on civil law, or written statutes; a decision by one judge does not set a legal precedent that must be followed by judges in other cases. In addition, the interpretation of Chinese laws may vary to reflect domestic political changes.
As a matter of substantive law, the foreign-invested enterprise laws provide significant protection from government interference. In addition, these laws guarantee the full enjoyment of the benefits of corporate articles and contracts to foreign-invested enterprise participants. These laws, however, do impose standards concerning corporate formation and governance, which are qualitatively different from the general corporation laws of the United States. Similarly, the PRC accounting laws mandate accounting practices that are not consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. PRC accounting laws require that an annual statutory audit be performed in accordance with PRC accounting standards and that the books of account of foreign-invested enterprises are maintained in accordance with Chinese accounting laws. Article 14 of the PRC Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise Law requires a wholly foreign-owned enterprise to submit certain periodic fiscal reports and statements to designated financial and tax authorities, at the risk of business license revocation. Our subsidiary, Harbin Xinda Macromolecule Material Co, Ltd., is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise and is subject to these regulations.
30
As a matter of enforcement, although the enforcement of substantive rights may appear less clear than in the U.S., foreign-invested enterprises and wholly foreign-owned enterprises are PRC-registered companies, which enjoy the same status as other PRC-registered companies in business-to-business dispute resolution. Because the Articles of Association of the Company do not specify a method for the resolution of business disputes, the Company and other parties involved in any business dispute are free to proceed either in the Chinese courts or, if they are in agreement, through arbitration. Under PRC law, any award rendered by an arbitration tribunal is enforceable in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. Therefore, PRC laws relating to business-to-business dispute resolution should not work to the disadvantage of foreign-invested enterprises such as the Company.
However, the PRC laws and regulations governing our current business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain. There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including but not limited to the laws and regulations governing our business and the enforcement and performance of our arrangements with suppliers in the event of the imposition of statutory liens, death, bankruptcy and criminal proceedings. We and any future subsidiaries are considered foreign persons or foreign-invested enterprises under PRC laws, and as a result, we are required to comply with PRC laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are sometimes vague and may be subject to future changes, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance by foreign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. We cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations may have on our business.
In addition, some of our present and future executive officers and directors, most notably Mr. Jie Han, may be residents of the PRC and not of the United States, and substantially all the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it could be difficult for investors to effect service of process in the United States, or to enforce a judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of these persons.
31
Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and results of operations.
We have a limited operating history. Accordingly, you should consider our future prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties experienced by early-stage companies in evolving markets such as China. Some of these risks and uncertainties relate to our ability to:
| offer new products to attract and retain a larger customer base; |
| increase awareness of our brand and continue to develop customer loyalty; |
| respond to competitive market conditions; |
| respond to changes in our regulatory environment; |
| manage risks associated with intellectual property rights; |
| maintain effective control of our costs and expenses; |
| raise sufficient capital to sustain and expand our business; and |
| attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel |
Because we are a relatively new company, we may not be experienced enough to address all the risks in our business or in our expansion. If we are unsuccessful in addressing any of these risks and uncertainties, our business may be materially and adversely affected.
We expect to incur costs related to our planned expansion and growth into new plants and ventures which may not prove to be profitable. Moreover, any delays in our expansion plans could cause our profits to decline and jeopardize our business.
We anticipate that our proposed expansion of our plants may include the construction of new or additional facilities. Our cost estimates and projected completion dates for construction of new production facilities may change significantly as the projects progress. In addition, our projects will entail significant construction risks, including shortages of materials or skilled labor, unforeseen environmental or engineering problems, weather interferences and unanticipated cost increases, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the projects and could delay their scheduled openings. A delay in scheduled openings will delay our receipt of increased sales revenues, which, when coupled with the increased costs and expenses of our expansion, could cause a decline in our profits.
Our plans to finance, develop, and expand our facilities will be subject to the many risks inherent in the rapid expansion of a high growth business enterprise, including unanticipated design, construction, regulatory and operating problems, and the significant risks commonly associated with implementing a marketing strategy in changing and expanding markets. These projects may not become operational within their estimated time frames and budgets as projected at the time the Company enters into a particular agreement, or at all. In addition, the Company may develop projects as joint ventures in an effort to reduce its financial commitment to individual projects. The significant expenditures required to expand our production plants may not ultimately result in increased profits.
32
Our business and operations are growing rapid. If we fail to effectively manage our operation, our business and operating results could be harmed.
To date we have experienced, and continue to experience, rapid growth in our operations. This has placed, and will continue to place, significant demands on our management, and on our operational and financial infrastructure. If we do not effectively manage our operations, the quality of our products and services will suffer, which would negatively affect our operating results. If the necessary funding can be obtained, we will be able to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. The complexity of this undertaking means that we are likely to face many challenges, some of which are not yet foreseeable. Problems may occur with our raw material acquisition, with the roll-out of efficient manufacturing processes, and with our ability to sell our products to our customers. If we are not able to obtain the necessary funding and operate efficiently, our business plan may fall short of its goals, and our ability to manage our growth could be hurt.
The capital investments that we plan may result in dilution of the equity of our present shareholders.
We have entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement that contemplates that we will pay approximately $35 million to acquire additional production assets, in order to increase our production capacity from 40,000 tons to 100,000 tons. We intend to raise a large portion of the necessary funds by selling equity in our company. At present we have no commitment from any source for those funds. We cannot determine, therefore, the terms on which we will be able to raise the necessary funds. It is possible that we will be required to dilute the value of our current shareholders equity in order to obtain the funds. If, however, we are unable to raise the necessary funds, our growth will be limited, as will our ability to compete effectively.
We operate in a highly competitive marketplace, which could adversely affect our sales and financial condition.
We compete on the basis of quality, price, product availability and security of supply, product development and customer service. Some competitors are larger than us in certain markets and may have greater financial resources that allow them to be in a better position to withstand changes in the industry. Our competitors may introduce new products based on more competitive alternative technologies that may be causing us to lose customers which would result in a decline in our sales volume and earnings. Our customers demand high quality and low cost products and services. The cost and availability of energy and strategic raw materials may continue to deteriorate domestically while improving in the international market, thus advantaging our foreign competition. Any such change in the global market could adversely impact the demand for our products. Competition could cause us to lose market share and certain lines of business, or increase expenditures or reduce pricing, each of which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
33
Related party transactions may pose risks to our inventory.
Currently the Company has an Asset Purchase Agreement with Mr. Hans, the Companys Chairman and CEO, wife to acquire certain production assets at below historical cost value. There may be occasions in which additional related party transactions may take place. Even the Company will do its utmost to minimize such transactions and conduct such transactions in the best interest of its public shareholders, there may exist serious conflict of interest and damage to the public shareholders. Such conflict of interest and potential harm to public shareholders and investors interest may negatively impact on the value of the Company.
An inability to protect our intellectual property rights could reduce the value of our products, services and brand.
Our unique technologies and techniques are important assets for us. We have applied to the Chinese government for intellectual property right protection for some of the technologies that we own. However, this legal effort may sometimes not be sufficient or effective, due to the lack of effective legal enforcement in China. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business or our ability to compete. In addition, since protection of our intellectual property rights is costly and time consuming, any unauthorized use of our to-be-patented technologies could increase our cost of business and eventually harm our operating results. Moreover, since we only registered intellectual property rights for our technologies in China, our technologies may not be well protected in other countries in which our products may be sold in the future.
An increase in raw material prices could increase Xindas costs and decrease its profits.
Changes in the cost of raw materials could significantly affect Xindas business. Since cost for raw materials constitute a substantial part of our product price, increase in the cost of raw materials will decrease our profit margin. Although we may offset such deduction of our profit by increasing the price for our products, unforeseeable events in the market may occur to prevent the effectiveness of this method. We also rely on one major supplier to provide such raw materials. Failure to maintain business relationship with this one major supplier may make the raw materials inaccessible, and thus hurt our operation result.
Our performance and planned growth depend on raw material supply and related costs .
34
We rely on Mr. Jie Han, Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, for the management of our business, and the loss of his services could significantly harm our business and prospects.
We depend, to a large extent, on the abilities and participation of our current management team, but have a particular reliance upon Mr. Jie Han, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and President, for the direction of our business. The loss of the services of Mr. Han for any reason could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects. We cannot assure you that the services of Mr. Han will continue to be available to us, or that we will be able to find a suitable replacement for Mr. Han. We have entered into an employment contract with Mr. Han, but that agreement does not guarantee Mr. Hans continuing to manage the Company. We do not have key man insurance on Mr. Han, and if he were to die and we were unable to replace him for a prolonged period of time, we could be unable to carry out our long-term business plan, and our future prospects for growth, and our business, could be harmed.
Difficulties with hiring, employee training and other labor issues could disrupt our operations.
We may not be able to successfully hire and train new team members or integrate those team members into the programs and policies of the Company. Any such difficulties would reduce our operating efficiency and increase our costs of operations.
Increased environmental regulation in China could increase our costs of operation.
Certain processes utilized in the production of modified plastics result in toxic by-products. To date, the Chinese government has imposed only limited regulation on the production of these by-products, and enforcement of the regulations has been sparse. Recently, however, there is a substantial increase in focus on the Chinese environment, which has inspired considerable new regulation. Because Xinda plans to export plastics to the U.S. and Europe in coming years, Xinda has developed sufficient safeguards in its manufacturing processes to assure compliance with the environmental regulations imposed by European and U.S regulators. This compliance regimen brings us into compliance with all Chinese environmental regulations. Additional regulation, however, could increase our cost of doing business, which would impair our profitability.
We may have difficulty establishing adequate management and financial controls in China.
The Peoples Republic of China has only recently begun to adopt the management and financial reporting concepts and practices that investors in the United States are familiar with. We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining employees in China who have the experience necessary to implement the kind of management and financial controls that are expected of a United States public company. If we cannot establish such controls, we may experience difficulty in collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet U.S. standards.
35
We may incur significant costs to ensure compliance with U.S. corporate governance and accounting requirements.
We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Sarbanes-Oxley, and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors, on committees of our board of directors or as executive officers.
As a public company, we are required to comply with rules and regulations of the SEC, including expanded disclosure, accelerated reporting requirements and more complex accounting rules. This will continue to require additional cost management resources. We will need to continue to implement additional finance and accounting systems, procedures and controls as we grow to satisfy these reporting requirements. In addition, we may need to hire additional legal and accounting staff with appropriate experience and technical knowledge, and we cannot assure you that if additional staffing is necessary that we will be able to do so in a timely fashion. If we are unable to complete the required annual assessment as to the adequacy of our internal reporting or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide us with a qualified report as to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting in the future, we could incur significant costs to become compliant.
We rely on highly skilled personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.
Our performance largely depends on the talents and efforts of highly skilled individuals. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly skilled personnel for all areas of our organization. Our continued ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to attract new technology developers and to retain and motivate our existing contractors.
36
We have limited business insurance coverage.
The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and do not, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, while business disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time. Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.
The Company is not likely to hold annual shareholder meetings in the next few years.
Management does not expect to hold annual meetings of shareholders in the next few years, due to the expense involved. The current members of the Board of Directors were appointed to that position by the previous directors. If other directors are added to the Board in the future, it is likely that the current directors will appoint them. As a result, the shareholders of the Company will have no effective means of exercising control over the operations of the Company.
Our Chief Executive Officer has a large degree of control on us through his position and stock ownership and his interests may differ from other stockholders.
Our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jie Han has option on XDs shares. As a result, Mr. Han will be able to influence the outcome of stockholder votes on various matters, including the election of directors and extraordinary corporate transactions such as business combinations. Mr. Hans interests may differ from that of other stockholders.
There are now 1,000,000 Series B Preferred Stock issued to XD with 40% of the total voting power of the Companys common stock put together and other consent rights on mergers and acquisitions, significant acquisition or disposition of assets and change of control, among others. This gives XD significant voting power. Such voting power may enable XD to block actions that may benefit the common stockholders thus reduce the value of their holdings.
We do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
We currently intend to retain all future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. We do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future but will review this policy as circumstances dictate. Should we decide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiaries based in the PRC. Our operating subsidiaries, from time to time, may be subject to restrictions on its ability to make distributions to us, including restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions. See Risks related to doing business in the Peoples Republic of China above.
37
There is currently a very limited trading market for our common stock.
Because we were formerly a shell company, our bid and ask quotations have not regularly appeared on the OTC Bulletin Board for any extended period of time. There is a limited trading market for our common stock and our common stock may never be included for trading on any stock exchange or through any other quotation system, including the NASDAQ Stock Market. You may not be able to sell your shares due to the absence of an established trading market.
Our common stock is subject to the Penny Stock Regulations.
Our common stock is, and will continue to be subject to the SECs penny stock rules to the extent that the price remains less than $5.00. Those rules, which require delivery of a schedule explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks before any sale, may further limit your ability to sell your shares.
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define penny stock to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our common stock, when and if a trading market develops, may fall within the definition of penny stock and subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000, or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 or $300,000, together with their spouse).
For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchasers prior written consent to the transaction. Additionally, for any transaction, other than exempt transactions, involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealers presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their common stock in the secondary market.
38
Our common stock is illiquid and subject to price volatility unrelated to our operations.
The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of other companies in the same industry, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.
A large number of shares of common stock will be issuable for future sale which will dilute the ownership percentage of our current holders of common stock. The availability for public resale of those shares may depress our stock price.
Also as a result, there will be a significant number of new shares of common stock on the market in addition to the current public float. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, and the existence of warrants to purchase shares of common stock at prices that may be below the then current market price of the common stock, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.
Enforcement against us or our directors and officers may be difficult.
Because our principal assets are located outside of the U.S. and some or all our directors and officers, both present and future, reside outside of the U.S., it may be difficult for you to enforce your rights based on U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and some directors or to enforce a U.S. court judgment against us or them in the PRC.
In addition, our operating company is located in the PRC and substantially all of its assets are located outside of the U.S. It may therefore be difficult for investors in the U.S. to enforce their legal rights based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. Federal securities laws against us in the courts of either the U.S. or the PRC and, even if civil judgments are obtained in U.S. courts, to enforce such judgments in PRC courts. Further, it is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the U.S. and the PRC would permit effective enforcement against us or our officers and directors of criminal penalties under the U.S. Federal securities laws or otherwise.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We were originally incorporated as NB Payphones Ltd. under the laws of the state of Pennsylvania on November 16, 1999. On December 27, 2005, we migrated our state of organization to the state of Nevada and effective March 23, 2006, our name changed to NB Telecom, Inc.
On December 24, 2008, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Favor Sea Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation, through China XD Plastics Company Limited, a Nevada corporation (the Merger Sub) wholly owned by the Company. Favor Sea Limited is a holding company whose only asset, held through a subsidiary, is 100% of the registered capital of Harbin Xinda Macromolecule Material Co., Ltd. (Xinda).
Xinda is a manufacturer and developer of modified plastics. We believe that Xinda is one of the primary automotive plastics manufacturers in the PRC, developing and producing made-to-order modified plastics and providing after-sales services to such automotive brands as Audi, Red Flag, VW Gulf, and Mazda6. Founded in September 2004, we currently operate 31 manufacturing lines with a total production capacity of up to 100,000 tons.
The following table sets forth information from our statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, in dollars and as a percentage of sales:

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
Net sales
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 we had net sales of $ 55,802,003 as compared to net sales of $20,098,712 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $35,703,291, or 178%. The increase was largely a result of our increased and expanded sale to the existing and new customers in 2008.
Cost of sales & gross margin
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, our cost of sales was $41,880,768, as compared to cost of sales of $15,925,484 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $25,955,284, or 163%. The percentage of our increase in cost of sales was slightly less than that of the increase in sales. As a result, our gross margin increased from 21% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to 25% during nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in our gross margin was mainly attributed to the decreasing oil price in 2008 so we were able to purchase our raw materials at a lower price.
Operating income and expense
Operating expenses, which consist of selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development expenses, totaled $1,901,830 during nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $321,310 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Selling expenses increased from $29,040 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $241,823 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase of the selling expenses was in proportion to the increase in overall sales. General and administrative expense increased from $199,831 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $1,102,261 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in general and administrative expense was mainly due to increase in our payroll and administrative costs. Research and development expenses increased from $92,439 to $557,746 due to the expansion of the Harbin Xinda Macromolecule Material Research Institute, the subsidiary of the company. Overall, our operating income was $12,019,405 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $3,851,918 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Other income
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we had other income of $25,665, as compared with $6,598 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in other income was due to the sale of our unused materials in 2008.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased by $363,936 from $117,939 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $481,875 for the same period in 2008. The increase interest expense resulted from the sizable increase in our loans and notes payable during 2008, as we borrowed to fund the rapid growth in our sales and the development of our manufacturing facility.
41
Net Income
As a result of the factors described above, we had net income of $11,437,903 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared with $3,668,432 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in net income was mainly attributed to our increase in sales.
Comprehensive Income
Our business operates primarily in Chinese Renminbi (RMB), but we report our results in U.S. Dollars. The conversion of our accounts from RMB to U.S. Dollars results in translation adjustments. As a result of a currency translation adjustment, our comprehensive income was $12,468,983 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared with $3,905,631during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase is due to significant currency exchange fluctuation of Chinese RMB to US Dollar for the periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2008, we had $2,167,016 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $8,157,419 on September 30, 2007. There was a net decrease in cash and cash equivalent of $5,990,403 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents for the period was mainly due to the increase in working capital and advance payments made to our suppliers.
Operations
Cash used in operating activities totaled $9,487,060 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $20,830,030 provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Decrease in our cash provided by operations is due to our increased account receivable, other receivables, inventory and advances to suppliers, which accounted for $25,561,004 of cash used in operating activities, compared with $672,845 of cash used for the same period of the previous year. As we saw the increased prices of raw materials at the beginning of the year, we paid more to suppliers to secure the supplies.
Investments
Cash used in investing activities was $ 4,993,288 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $6,153,163 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Financing
Cash provided by financing activities totaled $16,513,064 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $6,982,124 used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Increase in cash provided by financing activities is due to the increased proceeds from short term loan and decrease of payment to bank acceptance note payable, which accounted for $15,893,064 of cash provided by financing activities, compared with $6,982,124 of cash used in the same period of the previous year.
42

Our gross margin decreased from 21.0% during the year ended December 31, 2006 to 18.6% during the year ended December 31, 2007.

All of our officers and directors serve on an at-will basis.
Related Party Transactions
Jie Han, our Chief Executive Officer, is affiliated with two companies that have engaged in transactions with Xinda during the past two years. Mr. Han has used these two companies as a source of raw materials and equipment financing for Xinda, in order to reduce Xindas working capital expenses.
Harbin Xinda High-Tech Co., Ltd. (Xinda High-Tech) was founded by incumbent president of Xinda, Mr. Jie Han, in July 2003. Xinda Hegh-Tech is mainly engaged in production of electrical wire and wire harness and transactions of plastic materials. Mr. Jie Han transferred 89.29% shares he held in Xinda High-Tech to his wife Mrs. Limei Sun. However, High-Tech does not manufacture modified plastics in competition with Xinda. Xinda has engaged in transactions with Xinda High-Tech since 2007. The relationship has three aspects: an Asset Purchase Agreement, a lease contract and certain product purchases.
On September 20, 2008, Xinda signed the Asset Purchase Agreement with Xinda High-Tech that was discussed in the Business section of this Report. The Asset Purchase Agreement provides that Xinda will purchase from Xinda High-Tech six buildings, 19 assembly lines, and the related land use right. The buildings were recently built by Xinda High-Tech; the assembly lines were recently purchased by Xinda High-Tech, and have never been used.
Xinda High-Tech made the purchase for the benefit of Xinda because Xinda High-Tech is eligible to receive low-cost government financing that is not available to Xinda.
45
At the beginning of 2008, Mr. Han decided that Xinda should lease the plant and facilities of Xinda High-Techs newly-built automotive modified plastics production base. The parties entered into a lease contract for premises located at No. 9, Dalian North Road, Haping Road Centralized Industrial Park, Harbin Development Zone, Heilongjiang Province, China, with an area of 23,893.53 square meters. The lease term was from May 1, 2008 to April 30, 2011. The lease payment was 2 million RMB per year.
In September 2008, as a result of the adjustment of Chinese industrial policy, the influence of international financial situation and the credit squeeze policy of the financial institutions, Xinda High-Techs lending bank requires Xinda High-Tech to pay all the due loans by the end of 2009. If Xinda High-Tech defaults, the bank will consider foreclosure based on the negotiation results of the parties. Considering Xindas overall business interest, Mr. Han decided that Xinda should purchase from Xinda High-Tech all assets related to the production of automotive modified plastics.
The purchase price paid by Xinda to Xinda High-Tech will be 240 million RMB (currently, USD$35,139,092). Payment of 50 million RMB by Xinda is due at the end of December 2008; the remaining 190 million is due at the end of September 2009. If Xinda is unable to make the payment scheduled for the end of 2008, the parties expect that the due date will be extended. However, Xinda will be responsible for any accumulated interests related to such past due payments. Xina High-Tech also agreed not to engage in the relevant production and sales in competition of Xindas major business.
Xinda High-Tech paid 265 million RMB (USD$38 million) to purchase the equipments and facilities for the production of automotive modified plastics. The purchase price of Xinda is RMB 240 million, which is 10% lower that the assets original history cost. By using acquisition to expand production capacity, Xinda has realized its sales plan two years earlier than constructing the plant itself. The acquisition also saves the costs increased by price inflation. Due to the increased value of Chinas property and land usage, the assets have great potential of increasing in value.
From time to time, Xinda and Xinda High-Tech have provided working capital to each other. At the end of June 2008 Xinda owed $82,518 to Xinda High-Tech by reason of such working capital loans. The loans are unsecured and bear no interest. At the end of September 2008, Xinda has paid off all the loans to Xinda High-Tech.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, Xinda purchased raw materials from Xinda High-Tech for a purchase price of $1,063,008. Such raw materials are used to test the new equipments Xinda High-Tech recently purchased. The purchase price represents the cost incurred by Xinda High-Tech for the goods.
46
Heilongjiang Xinda Hyundai Engineering Plastics Co, Ltd (Heilongjiang Xinda Hyundai). Heilongjiang Xinda Hyundai Engineering Plastics Co, Ltd. is a company owned 25% by Hyundai Engineering Plastics Co, Ltd, and 75% by Xinda High-Tech. Since its organization, Heilongjiang Xinda Hyundai has no operations other than the sale of small amounts of raw materials for the plastics. In October of 2008, the Board approved the resolution to liquidate the company. Under this circumstance, Heilongjiang Xinda Hyundai agreed to sell its raw materials to Xinda at their purchase prices. During 2007 Xinda paid $440,554 to Hyundai Engineering Plastics Co, Ltd. for these raw materials, and during the first nine months of 2008 Xinda paid $963,082 to the same company. The purchase prices represent the cost incurred by Hyundai Engineering Plastics Co, Ltd. for the raw materials.
Other than the aforesaid relationships, none of our officers or directors has engaged in any transaction during the past fiscal year or the current fiscal year that had a transaction value in excess of $60,000.

Legal Proceedings
Neither the Company nor Favor Sea Limited, HK Engineering Plastics, or Xinda, is party to any material legal proceedings.
48
Material Modification to Rights of Security holders
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.209, the Company has set December 31, 2008 as the effective record date for a reverse split of 124.1 for 1 to reduce the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The total authorized shares of common stock will be reduced proportionately accordingly as well. As a result, the total numbers of shares of common stock of the Company held by its shareholders are all proportionately reduced together with the total authorized share of the Companys common stock, leaving your proportionate holdings substantially the same. Such a reverse split is necessary to allow the merger with Favor Sea Limited to happen.
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the Company will issue 1,000,000 shares of convertible Series A preferred stock of the Company to the shareholders of Favor Sea Limited, and 1,000,000 shares of Series B preferred stock to XD in exchange for the outstanding stock of Favor Sea Limited. The 1,000,000 shares of convertible Series A preferred stock of the Company will convert approximately 1:38.2 into 38,194,072 shares of the common stock of the Company after the completion of the Merger so that eventually the shareholders of Favor Sea Limited own approximately 99% of the common stock of the Company.
The 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock will have an aggregate voting power of 40% of the combined voting power of the entire Companys shares, common stock and preferred stock as long as the Company is in existence. Without the vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding, the Company may not (i) authorize, create or issue, or increase the authorized number of shares of, any class or series of capital stock ranking prior to or on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) authorize, create or issue any class or series of common stock of the Company other than the common stock, (iii) authorize any reclassification of the Series B Preferred Stock, (iv) authorize, create or issue any securities convertible into or exercisable for capital stock prohibited by (i) or (ii), (v) amend the designation certificate of the Series B Preferred Stock, or (vi) enter into any merger or reorganization, or disposal of assets involving 20% of the total capitalization of the Company.

Favor Sea Limited (the Company or Favor Sea) was incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on May 2, 2008.
On August 11, 2008, Favor Sea acquired 100% interest of Hong Kong Engineering Plastics Company Limited (HK Engineering Plastics), a Limited Liability Company organized under the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administration Region on May 27, 2008.
HK Engineering Plactics owns 100% interest of Harbin Xinda Macromolecule Material Co., Ltd (Harbin Xinda), a company incorporated in the Peoples Republic of China on September 23, 2004.
The transactions were accounted for under purchase method. Since the Company and HK Engineering Plastics are all under common control of a same majority shareholder, the consolidation of the Company has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned contractual arrangements with Favor See and HK Plastics Engineering had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Company has not had any transactions or operations of its own as of today. Instead, all of its operations were carried out through its indirectly owned subsidiary, Harbin Xinda. Harbin Xinda is primarily engaged in the business of research development, manufacture, distribution of modified and engineering plastic pellets used in automotive parts through its manufacturing facility and its wholly owned research laboratory, Harbin Xinda Macromolecule Research Institute (the Research Institute), a separate entity established in 2007.
The Companys consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP).
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Favor Sea, HK Plastics Engineering, Harbin Xinda and Research Institute. All significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
F-5
In preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets and the valuation of inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
For purposes of the statement of cash flow, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts receivables consist primarily of receivables resulting from sales of products, and are stated at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts. The allowance is calculated based upon the evaluation and the level of past due accounts and the relationship with and the economic status of the customers. The allowance for uncollectible amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $100,148, and $93,219 for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Inventory is composed of raw materials and packing materials for manufacturing, work in process, and finished goods. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on the weighted average method. Management compares the cost of inventory with the market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its market value, if lower than cost. No allowance for inventory is considered necessary for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
F-6
Property and equipment are stated at cost. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and locations for its intended use. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:
Buildings and improvements | 39 years | ||||
Machinery, equipment and automobiles | 5-10 years |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Advance to suppliers represent the payments made and recorded in advance for goods and services received. The Company makes advances to raw materials purchased from certain agents overseas, which account for 60% of raw materials needed. In order to maintain a long-term relationship with the vendors, the Company frequently needs to make advances from one and half month to three months ahead. The advances to suppliers were $8,973,700 as of September 30, 2008 and $1,746,063 as of December 31, 2007.
Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the assets expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. No impairment loss is recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
F-7
The Company accounts for income tax under the provisions of SFAS No.109 Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of the events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences between tax and financial statements bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established against net deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. There are no deferred tax amounts at the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
The Companys revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104. 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 exists and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue.
Research and development expenses are costs associated with developing the Companys intellectual property. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of equipments 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. The research and development expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $557,746 and $92,439, respectively.
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There are no such additional common shares available for dilution purposes for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
F-8
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable and other receivables. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of its clients financial condition and customer payment practices to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.
The operations of the Company are located in the PRC. Accordingly, the Companys business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy.
The Companys operations in the PRC are subject to special 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 environment and foreign currency exchange. The Companys results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, taxes payable, notes payable and other loans payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amounts of short-term loans from bank approximate the fair value based on the Companys expected borrowing rate for debt with similar remaining maturities and comparable risk.
F-9
The Companys functional currency is the Renminbi (RMB). For financial reporting purposes, RMB has been translated into United States dollars (USD) as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders equity as Accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translations are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. There is no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilitiesincluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 159 (FAS 159). FAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective of FAS 159 is to provide opportunities to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply hedge accounting provisions. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 will be effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact that this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities (FSP EITF 07-3), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed. The Company has adopted FSP EITF 07-3 and expensed the research and development as it incurred.
F-10
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (SFAS 160), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest, changes in a parents ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company has not determined the effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinations, was issued. SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. This replaces SFAS 141s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages (sometimes referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2007 An entity may not apply it before that date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS No. 141R will have on its financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items on our financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No. 161 may have on our financial statements.
F-11
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position on Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 03-6, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (FSP EITF 03-6-1).

The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the Peoples Republic of China concerning the private-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at a new statutory rate of 25% and were, until January 2008, subject to tax at a statutory rate of 33% (30% state income tax plus 3% local income tax) on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments.
On March 16,2007, the National Peoples Congress of China approved the Corporate Income Tax Law of the Peoples Republic of China (the New CIT Law), which is effective from January 1, 2008. Under the new law, the corporate income tax rate applicable to all Companies, including both domestic and foreign-invested companies, will be 25%, replacing the current applicable tax rate of 33%. However, pending the detailed implementation rulings from the tax authorities, we believe that some of the tax concession granted to eligible companies prior to the new CIT laws will be grand fathered.
The Company is located in a special economic development zone and is recognized as a high technology company by the Chinese government. Therefore, it is entitled to a full exemption of special 15% CIT for two years from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2007 and 50% reduction in CIT for three years at a favorable tax rate of 7.5% from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2010. The income tax expense of $24,411 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is attributed to the net income of $285,105 derived from Harbin Xinda. The majority of the net income for the period was from the Research Institute, which is a separate entity and whose income is exempt from the income tax under the current law of China. The net effect on earnings per share had the income tax been applied would decrease earnings per share from $285.95 to $216.05 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and $106.13 to $81.18 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Harbin Xinda Macromolecule Material Co., Ltd as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations, changes in shareholders equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Companys consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP). The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect necessary adjustments not recorded in the books of account of the Company to present them in conformity with US GAAP.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Harbin Xinda and its wholly owned subsidiary, Harbin Xinda Macromolecule Research Institute All significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
In preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets and the valuation of inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F-24
For purposes of the statement of cash flow, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts receivables consist primarily of receivables resulting from sales of products, and are stated at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts. The allowance is calculated based upon the evaluation and the level of past due accounts and the relationship with and the economic status of the customers. The allowance for uncollectible amounts for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $93,219 and $ 0 -, respectively.
Inventory is composed of raw materials and packing materials for manufacturing, work in process, and finished goods. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on the weighted average method. Management compares the cost of inventory with the market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its market value, if lower than cost. No allowance for inventory is considered necessary for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Property and equipment are stated at cost. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and locations for its intended use. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-like method over the following useful lives:
Buildings and improvements | 39 years | ||||
Machinery, equipment and automobiles | 5-10 years |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized.
F-25
Advance to suppliers represent the payments made and recorded in advance for goods and services received. The Company makes advances to raw materials purchased from certain vendors overseas, which account for 60% of raw materials needed. In order to maintain a long-term relationship with the vendors, the Company frequently needs to make advances from one and half month to three months ahead. The advances to suppliers were $1,746,063 and $168,630 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Revenue from the sale of goods or services is recognized at the time that goods are delivered or services are rendered. Receipts in advance for goods to be delivered or services to be rendered in a subsequent period are carried forward as deferred revenue.
Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the assets expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. No impairment loss is recorded for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
The Company accounts for income tax under the provisions of SFAS No.109 Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of the events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences between tax and financial statements bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established against net deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. There are no deferred tax amounts at December 31, 2007 and 2006.
F-26
The Company utilizes the accrual method of accounting. In accordance with the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104, sales revenue is recognized when products are shipped and payments of the customers and collection are reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue.
Research and development expenses are costs associated with developing the Companys intellectual property. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of equipments 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. The research and development expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $189,329 and $94,797, respectively.
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There are no such additional common shares available for dilution purposes as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable and other receivables. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of its clients financial condition and customer payment practices to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.
F-27
The operations of the Company are located in the PRC. Accordingly, the Companys business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy.
The Companys operations in the PRC are subject to special 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 environment and foreign currency exchange. The Companys results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, taxes payable, notes payable and other loans payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amounts of short-term loans from bank approximate the fair value based on the Companys expected borrowing rate for debt with similar remaining maturities and comparable risk.
The Companys functional currency is the Renminbi (RMB). For financial reporting purposes, RMB has been translated into United States dollars (USD) as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders equity as Accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translations are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. There is no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.
F-28
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, where fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management of the Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (FAS 159). FAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective of FAS 159 is to provide opportunities to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply hedge accounting provisions. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 will be effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact that this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities (FSP EITF 07-3), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed. The Company has adopted FSP EITF 07-3 and expensed the research and development as it incurred.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (SFAS 160), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest, changes in a parents ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007.
F-29
The Company has not determined the effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinations, was issued. SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. This replaces SFAS 141s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages (sometimes referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2007 An entity may not apply it before that date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS No. 141R will have on its financial statements.
As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company has restricted cash of $5,428,673 and $4,869,235 respectively. The Companys lenders require the Company to maintain with the lending banks a cash balance of a minimum 40% -50% of the balance of the notes payable (see Note 10) as collateral for the Companys obligations to the lenders. The Company earns interest at a variable rate per month on these restricted cash. The interest income earned was $ 60,240 and $ 28,067 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the Peoples Republic of China concerning the private-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at a new statutory rate of 25% and were, until January 2008, subject to tax at a statutory rate of 33% (30% state income tax plus 3% local income tax) on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments.
F-34
(a) Corporation income tax (CIT) (Continued)
The Company is located in a special economic development zone and is recognized as a high technology company by the Chinese government. Therefore, it is entitled to a full exemption of special 15% CIT for two years from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2007 and 50% reduction in CIT for three years at a favorable tax rate of 7.5% from 2007 to 2010.
On March 16,2007, the National Peoples Congress of China approved the Corporate Income Tax Law of the Peoples Republic of China (the New CIT Law), which is effective from January 1, 2008. Under the new law, the corporate income tax rate applicable to all Companies, including both domestic and foreign-invested companies, will be 25%, replacing the current applicable tax rate of 33%. However, pending the detailed implementation rulings from the tax authorities, we believe that some of the tax concession granted to eligible companies prior to the new CIT laws will be grand fathered.
The estimated tax savings for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 would have the net effect on earnings per share had the income tax been applied , leading to earnings per share reduced from $0.26 to $0.22 in 2007 and $0.11 to $0.09 in 2006.
Enterprises or individuals who sell commodities, engage in repair and maintenance or import or export goods in the PRC are subject to a value added tax in accordance with the PRC laws. The value added tax standard rate is 17% of the gross sales price. A credit is available whereby VAT paid on the purchases of semi-finished products or raw materials used in the production of the Companys finished products can be used to offset the VAT due on the sales of the finished products. The Company has a VAT tax payable of $1,391,331 as of December 31, 2007 and a VAT tax receivable of $6,087 as of December 31, 2006.
The Companys registered capital is RMB 20,000,000, equivalent of $2,416,451, contributed by the two main stockholders of the Company. The industry practice in PRC does not require the issuance of stock certificates to the shareholders, nor a third party transfer agent to maintain the records. For the purpose of financial reporting, the Company elected to designate one (1) common share for each RMB contributed. Accordingly, there were total 20,000,000 shares issued and outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Immediately after the Merger and the reserve stock split, the Parent shall conduct an amendment to its charter to increase the authorized shares of Parent common stock to 500,000,000 to allow such conversion of preferred stock into Parent common stock. The Parent will also amend its charter to increase the authorized shares of its preferred stock to 50,000,000.
Immediately before and in conjunction with the consummation of the Merger, the Parent will spin off all of assets and liabilities to Sotech, Inc., a Georgia corporation so the only material assets of the Parent following the Spin-off will be the ownership of the Merger Sub.

R E C I T A L S:
A. The respective Boards of Directors of the Parent and the Company have determined that an acquisition of the Company by the Merger Sub and then the merger of the Merger Sub with and into the Parent (the Merger), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, would be fair and in the best interests of their respective shareholders, and such Boards of Directors have approved such Merger, pursuant to which shares of Common Stock of the Company (Company Common Stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger (as defined in Section 1.03) and all securities convertible or exchangeable into Company Common Stock will be exchanged (including by reservation for future issuances) will be exchanged for the right to receive 99% of Common Stock of the Parent (Parent Common Stock) other than Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 2.01(d)).
B. The Parent, the Merger Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger.
C. For federal income tax purposes, the parties intend that the Merger shall qualify as reorganization under the provisions of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I:
THE MERGER

1.01 The Merger and Consideration. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the Nevada Corporations Code (the Nevada Statutes), the Merger Sub shall acquire the Company and then shall be merged with and into the Parent at the Effective Time of the Merger. The Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent upon which the Merger Sub shall no long exist, and Parents name will change to the Merger Subs name, pursuant to section 92A.180 of the Nevada Statutes. The Merger Sub shall issue (i) to the Sellers and their designees, 10 shares or such number of shares of the common stock of the Merger Sub which shall constitute no more than 10% ownership interest in the Merger Sub and which shall be converted into approximately 50,367,778 shares of the Parent Common Stock prior to and approximately 405,928 post a reverse stock split in accordance with Section 1.08 to be done in conjunction of the Merger, and 1,000,000 shares of convertible Series A preferred stock which shall convert approximately 1:38.2 into 38,194,072 shares of Parent Common Stock after the completion of the Merger so that eventually the Sellers and their designees shall own approximately 99% of Parent Common Stock outstanding post the completion of the Merger; and (ii) to the Principal Shareholder and their designees, 1,000,000 shares of Series B preferred stock. Immediately after the Merger and the reverse stock split in accordance with Section 1.08, the Parent shall conduct an amendment to its charter to increase the authorized shares of Parent Common Stock to 500,000,000 to allow such conversion of preferred stock into Parent Common Stock. At that time, the Parent will also amend its charter to increase the authorized shares of its preferred stock to 50,000,000. Forms of the certificates of designation of the Series A convertible preferred stock and Series B preferred stock are attached hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit B, respectively.
1.02 Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated and the transactions herein contemplated shall have been abandoned pursuant to Section 7.01 and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI, the closing of the Merger (the Closing) will take place at 10:00 a.m. on the business day upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VI (or as soon as practicable thereafter following satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI) (the Closing Date), at the offices of Troutman Sanders LLP in New York, unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.

As soon as practicable following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI, the parties shall file articles of merger (the Articles of Merger) executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Nevada Statutes and shall make all other filings or recordings required under Nevada Statutes. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Articles of Merger are duly filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada or at such other time as is permissible in accordance with Nevada Statutes and as the Parent and the Company shall agree should be specified in the Articles of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective being the Effective Time of the Merger). The Parent shall use reasonable efforts to have the Closing Date and the Effective Time of the Merger to be the same day.
1.04 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the Nevada Statutes.

1.06 Directors. The directors of the Company at the Effective Time of the Merger shall be the directors of the Parent, and its subsidiary, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.
