ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

As previously disclosed in the Schedule 13D, the Warrants were acquired by the Investor for no additional consideration in connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes. Accordingly, each transfer of Warrants described in Item 4 hereof was made in connection with the corresponding sale of Senior Notes for no additional consideration.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

Transfer of Senior Notes and Warrants

On June 30, 2008, the Investor irrevocably sold and assigned RMB7,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes, together with 70,000 Warrants, to Lake Street Fund LP (“Lake Street Fund”). As previously disclosed by the Company, the Company effected a 1-for-2 reverse stock split on April 28, 2009. On April 30, 2009, the Investor irrevocably sold and assigned RMB221,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes, together with 1,104,266 Warrants, to Abax Nai Xin A. On April 30, 2009, the Investor irrevocably sold and assigned RMB62,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes, together with 310,734 Warrants, to Abax Jade Ltd. On March 28, 2011, Abax Jade Ltd. merged with and into the Investor, with the Investor surviving the merger, and as a result RMB62,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes and 310,734 Warrants were once again owned by the Investor.

The Company’s Involuntary Bankruptcy

The Indenture required the Company to make six semi-annual repayments of principal beginning in July 2011 (8.3333% of outstanding principal for the first two repayments, 16.6667% of outstanding principal for the next two repayments, and 25% of outstanding principal for the last two repayments). The Company failed to make the repayment due July 30, 2012, and has not paid interest or principal on the Senior Notes since then. On August 21, 2012, the Arhat Shareholder sent the Company a formal notice of default and demanded that the Company make the July 2012 principal and interest payments and remedy the default. The Company did not respond to the default notice.

On September 5, 2012, the Arhat Shareholder provided notice of acceleration of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, which was immediately due and payable under the Indenture. The Company also failed to respond to this notice. On September 10, 2012, through its counsel the Arhat Shareholder provided the Company with a final demand for payment. The Company responded to this demand, but failed to provide any plan to remedy the defaults or repay the Senior Notes. Over several months, the Arhat Shareholder sought a consensual resolution of the defaults, but the Company never provided any explanation why it failed to make the required payments and never put forward any plan to remedy the defaults.

Additionally, pursuant to the redemption provisions of the warrant agreement, upon the Company’s default under the Indenture on July 30, 2012, the Warrants held by the Investor and Abax Nai Xin A became redeemable for their pro rata share of the $17,500,000 total redemption value of the Warrants. The Investor and Abax Nai Xin A delivered the required notice of redemption to the Company, but the Company has not satisfied its obligation to redeem the Warrants and make the required payments.

In connection with the above, on February 8, 2013 the Investor and Abax Nai Xin A, together with Lake Street Fund, filed an involuntary bankruptcy petition against the Company under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

The foregoing discussion of the Indenture and the warrant agreement is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Indenture and the warrant agreement which were attached as Exhibits 4 and 6 to the Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) – (b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Amendment are incorporated herein by reference. As of the date of this Amendment, the Investor directly owns an aggregate of 310,734 Warrants to purchase Common Stock and Abax Nai Xin A directly owns an aggregate of 1,104,266 Warrants to purchase Common Stock, representing, if exercised in full, approximately 1.4% and 4.8% respectively of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock.

The Fund, as the sole shareholder of the Investor and Abax Nai Xin A; Arhat and Upland, as holders of 100% of the Fund; Arhat Shareholder, as the sole shareholder of Arhat; Upland Managing Member, as the managing member of Upland; Abax HK as investment advisor to Arhat Shareholder; and Mr. Yang as the controlling person of Arhat Shareholder and Upland Managing Member, may be deemed to own beneficially (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) all shares of Common Stock (including upon exercise of the Warrants) that are owned beneficially and directly by the Investor or Abax Nai Xin A. Each of the Fund, Arhat, Upland, Arhat Shareholder, Upland Managing Member, Abax HK, and Mr. Yang disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares for all other purposes.

The Company has granted Mr. Yang an option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with his service on the Company’s board of directors, representing, if exercised in full, less than 0.1% of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock.

All percentages set forth in this paragraph are based on 21,458,654 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 10, 2013, as set forth in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2013.

(c) Other than as set forth herein, no Reporting Person has effected any transaction in shares of Common Stock during the sixty (60) days preceding the date of this Statement.

(d) Not applicable.
