3.	Description of business

	The Company is a holding company whose primary business operations are conducted through its subsidiaries located in the PRC’s Henan Province. Prefecture is located in Guizhou Province and is manufacturing corundum materials, a major raw material for monolithic refractory. Through its operating subsidiaries, the Company produces and markets a broad range of monolithic refractory, functional ceramics, fracture proppants, fine precision abrasives, and corundum materials.

	The principal raw materials used in the products are several forms of aluminum oxide, including bauxite, processed AI₂O₃and calcium aluminates cement, and other materials, such as corundum, magnesia, resin and silica, which are primarily sourced from suppliers located in the PRC. The production facilities of the Company, other than the Prefecture’s sub-processing factory located in Guizhou, are also located in Henan Province.

	Refractories products allow steel makers and other customers to improve the productivity and longevity of their equipment and machinery. Functional ceramic products mainly include abrasive balls and tiles, valves, electronic ceramics and structural ceramics. Fracture proppant products are used to reach trapped pockets of oil and natural gas deposits, which lead to higher productivities of oil and natural gas wells. Due to their heat-resistant qualities and ability to function under thermal stress, refractories serve as components in industrial furnaces and other heavy industrial machinery. Corundum materials are a major raw material for producing monolithic refractory. Fine precision abrasive is used for slicing the solar-silicon bar and polishing the equipment surface. The Company’s customers include some of the largest steel and iron producers located in 25 provinces in the PRC, as well as other countries in Asia and Europe.

4.	Summary of significant accounting policies

	Basis of consolidation

	The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

	Concentrations and credit risk

	Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, trade, bills and other receivables. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC and Hong Kong, which management believes are of high credit quality. With respect to trade and other receivables, the Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade and other receivables and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts of trade and other receivables.

	Regarding bills receivable, they are undertaken by the banks to honor the payments at maturity and the customers are required to place deposits with the banks equivalent to a certain percentage of the bills amount as collateral. These bills receivable can be sold to any third party at a discount before maturity. The Company does not maintain allowance for bills receivable in the absence of bad debt experience and the payments are undertaken by the banks.

	During the reporting periods, sales to the following customers represented 10% or more of the Company’s condensed consolidated sales:

		Three months ended				Six months ended
		June 30,				June 30,
		2013		2012		2013		2012

Shangdong Steel Co., Ltd. Rizhao Subsidiary	$	2,296,747	$	2,300,576	$	4,397,797	$	4,445,120
Fushun New Steel Co., Ltd.		1,943,986		1,455,371		3,020,028		2,986,161
CNPC Changqing Oilfield		2,695,321		-		2,695,321		-
Trina Solar		31,925		1,839,836		87,985		3,878,390

	$	6,967,979	$	5,595,783	$	10,201,131	$	11,309,671

During the reporting periods, no customer represented 10% or more of the Company’s trade receivables.

Fair value of financial instruments

ASC 820 requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments including those financial instruments for which fair value option was not elected. The fair value of collateralized borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangement. The carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair value due to short maturities.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Topic 350 - Comprehensive Income, (“ASU 2013-02”), which amends Topic 220 to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income to the respective line items in net income. ASU 2013-02 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this ASU had no significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

These bills are interest free and usually mature within six months from the date of issuance. As collateral security for the banks’ undertakings, the Company is required to pay the bank charges as well as maintain deposits with such banks in amounts equal to 20%, 50% or 100% of the bills’ amounts issued.

17.	Income taxes (Cont’d)

	PRC

	The PRC’s legislative body, the National People’s Congress, adopted the unified Corporate Income Tax Law (“CIT Law”) on March 16, 2007. This new tax law replaces the then separate income tax laws for domestic enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises and became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the new tax law, a unified income tax rate is set at 25% for both domestic enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises. However, there will be a transition period for enterprises, whether foreign-invested or domestic, that are currently receiving preferential tax treatments granted by relevant tax authorities. Enterprises that are subject to an enterprise income tax rate lower than 25% may continue to enjoy the lower rate and will transit into the new tax rate over a five year period beginning on the effective date of the CIT Law. Enterprises that are currently entitled to exemptions for a fixed term will continue to enjoy such treatment until the exemption term expires. Preferential tax treatment will continue to be granted to industries and projects that qualify for such preferential treatments under the new tax law.

	Pursuant to the income tax rules and regulations of the PRC, provision for PRC income tax of the PRC subsidiaries is calculated based on the following rates:

		Period ended June 30,
	Note	2013	2012

Refractories	(a)	15%	15%
High-Temperature	(a)	15%	15%
Duesail	(a)	15%	12.5%
Prefecture		25%	25%
Micronized		25%	25%
Yuxing		25%	25%

Note:

(a)

Entities entitled to a tax holiday in which they are fully exempted from the PRC enterprise income tax for 2 years starting from their first profit-making year after netting off accumulated tax losses, followed by a 50% reduction in the PRC enterprise income tax for the next 3 years (“tax holidays”). Any unutilised tax holidays will continue until expiry while tax holidays were deemed to start from January 1, 2008, even if the entity was not yet making profit after netting off its accumulated tax losses. Duesail is in the fifth year of tax holidays in 2013. Refractories was in the third year of tax holidays in 2009 and starting from the fiscal year 2011, Refractories is subject to enterprise income tax at unified rate of 15% for three years due to its engagement in an advanced technology industry and has passed the inspection of the provincial high-tech item. The relevant authority granted it a certificate during 2011. Starting from the fiscal year 2011, High-Temperature is subject to enterprise income tax at unified rate of 15% for three years due to its engagement in an advanced technology industry. The relevant authority granted it a certificate during 2011.

In July 2006, the FASB issued ASC 740-10-25. This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. The Company adopted this ASC 740-10-25 on January 1, 2007. Under the new CIT Law which became effective on January 1, 2008, the Company may be deemed to be a resident enterprise by the PRC tax authorities. If the Company was deemed to be resident enterprise, the Company may be subject to the CIT at 25% on the worldwide taxable income and dividends paid from the PRC subsidiaries to their overseas holding companies may be exempted from 10% PRC withholding tax. Except for certain immaterial interest income from bank deposits placed with financial institutions outside the PRC, all of the Company’s income is generated from the PRC operations. Given the immaterial amount of income generated from outside the PRC and the PRC subsidiaries do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, the management considers that the impact arising from resident enterprise on the Company’s financial position is not significant. The management evaluated the Company's tax positions and considered no provision for uncertainty in income taxes is necessary as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

18.	Loss per share

	During the reporting periods, all the potential dilutive shares were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because they were anti-dilutive. Accordingly, the basic and diluted loss per share are the same.

19.	Commitments and contingencies

	(a)	The Company’s operations are subject to the laws and regulations in the PRC relating to the generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of certain materials, substances and waste into the environment, and various other health and safety matters. Governmental authorities have the power to enforce compliance with their regulations, and violators may be subject to fines, injunctions or both. The Company must devote substantial financial resources to ensure compliance and believes that it is in substantial compliance with all the applicable laws and regulations.

		The Company is currently not involved in any environmental remediation and has not accrued any amounts for environmental remediation relating to its operations. Under existing legislation, management believes that there are no probable liabilities that will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, operating results or cash flows of the Company.

	(b)	The Company guaranteed the following debts of third parties, which is summarized as follows:

		June 30,		December 31,
		2013		2012

Guaranteed amount	$	27,861,960	$	30,939,200

In accordance with ASC 460, the Company recognized a liability arising from guarantees given for the debts granted to third parties by financial institutions.

An analysis of the guarantee liability is as follows:

		June 30,			December 31,
		2013			2012

Balance at beginning of period/year	$	210,690		$	309,858
Recognized as expenses for the period/year		153,045			461,578
Recognized as income for the period/year		(192,445	)		(562,847	)
Translation adjustments		4,216			2,101

Balance at end of period/year	$	175,506		$	210,690

The fair value of such guarantees is determined by reference to fees charged in an arm’s length transaction for similar services.

Notes:

During the period, the Company has acted as guarantor for bank loans granted to certain business associates. Certain of these associates also provided guarantees for bank loans to the Company (Note 14). None of our directors, director nominees or executive officers is involved in normal operation or investing in the business of the guaranteed business associates. All the business associates have a healthy record to pay back loans on a timely manner, in the People’s Bank of China’s (Central Bank of China) credit rating system.

All the above guarantees have no recourse provision that would enable the Company to recover from third parties of any amounts paid under the guarantees and any assets held either as collateral or by third parties that the Company can obtain or liquidate to recover all or a portion of the amounts paid under the guarantees.

If the third parties fail to perform under their contractual obligation, the Company will make future payments including the contractual principal amounts, related interest and penalties.

	(c)	As of June 30, 2013, the Company had capital commitments of $1,058,372 in respect of the construction of new office buildings and workshops which was not contracted for and provided in these financial statements.

	(d)	In accordance with the PRC tax regulations, the Company’s sales are subject to value added tax (“VAT”) at 17% upon the issuance of VAT invoices to its customers. When preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company recognized revenue when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer at the time when the products are delivered to and accepted by customers, and made full tax provision in accordance with relevant national and local laws and regulations of the PRC.

		The Company follows the practice of reporting its revenue for PRC tax purposes when invoices are issued. In the local statutory financial statements prepared under PRC GAAP, the Company recognized revenue on an “invoice basis” instead of when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer at the time when the products are delivered to and accepted by customers. Accordingly, despite the fact that the Company has made full tax provision in the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company may be subject to a penalty for the deferred reporting of tax obligations. The exact amount of penalty cannot be estimated with any reasonable degree of certainty. The management considers it is very unlikely that the tax penalty will be imposed.

20.	Defined contribution plan

	The Company has a defined contribution plan for all qualified employees in the PRC. The employer and its employees are each required to make contributions to the plan at the rates specified in the plan. The only obligation of the Company with respect to the retirement plan is to make the required contributions under the plan. No forfeited contribution is available to reduce the contribution payable in the future years.

21.	Segment information

	The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company's chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company's reportable segments. Management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by the revenue of monolithic refractory products, industrial ceramic products, fracture proppant products, fine precision abrasives and operating results of the Company. As such, the Company has determined that it has four operating segments as defined by ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”: refractories, industrial ceramic, fracture proppant and fine precision abrasives.

	Adjustments and eliminations of inter-company transactions were not included in determining segment (loss) profit, as they are not used by the chief operating decision maker.

Corporate Structure

We conduct our operations in China through our wholly owned subsidiaries Refractories, Duesail, Yuxing, Micronized and Prefecture and through our majority owned subsidiary, High-Temperature.

The following chart reflects our organizational structure as of the date of this report.

Corporate History

We were originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington, on November 13, 1947, under the name Silver Mountain Mining Company. From our inception until 2001, we operated various unpatented mining claims and deeded mineral rights in the State of Washington, but we abandoned these operations entirely by 2001. On August 15, 2006, we changed our domicile from Washington to Nevada when we merged with and into Point Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation. From about 2001 until our reverse acquisition of Powersmart on April 25, 2007, which is discussed in the next section entitled "Acquisition of Powersmart and Related Financing", we were a blank check company and had no active business operations. On June 11, 2007, we changed our corporate name from "Point Acquisition Corporation" to "China Minerals Technologies, Inc." and subsequently changed our name again to "China GengSheng Minerals, Inc." on July 26, 2007.

Acquisition of Powersmart and Related Financing

On April 25, 2007, we completed a reverse acquisition transaction through a share exchange with GengSheng International Corporation (formerly, Powersmart Holdings Limited) whereby we issued to the sole shareholder of Powersmart Holdings Limited, Shunqing Zhang, 16,887,815 shares of China GengSheng Minerals, Inc. common stock, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Powersmart. By this transaction, Powersmart became our wholly owned subsidiary and Mr. Zhang became our controlling stockholder.

On April 25, 2007, we also completed a private placement financing transaction pursuant to which we issued and sold 5,347,594 shares of our common stock to certain accredited investors for $10 million in gross proceeds.

On January 4, 2011, the Company and certain institutional investors entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company sold to such investors an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $4.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $10,000,000. The shares of common stock were issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated as of January 10, 2011, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with a takedown from the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-165486), which became effective on April 28, 2010, and the base prospectus dated as of April 28, 2010 contained in such registration statement.

Refractories

Our largest product segment is the refractories segment, which accounted for approximately 64.3% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2013. Our refractory products have high-temperature resistance and can function under thermal stress that is common in many heavy industrial production environments. Because of their unique high-temperature resistant qualities, the refractory products are used as linings and key components in many industrial furnaces, such as steel production furnaces, ladles, vessels, and other high-temperature processing machines that must operate at high temperatures for a long period of time without interruption. The majority of our customers are in the iron, steel, cement, chemical, coal, glass, petro-chemical and nonferrous industries.

We provide a customized solution for each order of our monolithic refractory materials based on customer-specific formulas. Upon delivery to customers, the monolithic materials are applied to the inner surfaces of our customers’ furnaces, ladles or other vessels to improve the productivity of that equipment. The product benefits our customers as it lowers the overall cost of production and improves financial performance. The reasons that the monolithic materials can help our customers improve productivity, lower production costs and achieve stronger financial performance include the following: (i) monolithic refractory castables can be cast into complex shapes which are unavailable or difficult to achieve by alternative products such as shaped bricks; (ii) monolithic refractory linings can be repaired, and in some cases, even reinstalled, without furnace cool-down periods or steel-production interruptions, and therefore improve the steel makers’ productivity; (iii) monolithic refractories can form an integral surface without joints, enhancing resistance to penetration, impact and erosion, and thereby improving the equipment’s operational safety and extending their useful service lives; (iv) monolithic refractories can be installed by specialty equipment either automatically or manually, thus saving construction and maintenance time as well as costs; and (v) monolithic refractories can be customized to specific requirements by adjusting individual formulas without the need to change batches of shaped bricks, which is a costly procedure. Our refractory products and their features are described as follows:

Castable, coating, and dry mix materials. Offerings within this product line are used as linings in containers such as a tundish used for pouring molten metal into a mold. The primary advantages of these products are speed and ease of installation for heat treatment.
Low-cement and non-cement castables. Our low-cement and non-cement castable products are typically used in reheating furnaces for producing steel. These castable products are highly durable and can last up to five years.
Pre-cast roofs. These products are usually used as a component of electric arc furnaces. They are highly durable, and in the case of our corundum-based, pre-cast roof, products can endure approximately 160 to 220 complete operations of furnace heating.

We also have a production line for pressed bricks, which is a type of “shaped” refractory, for steel production. The annual designed production capacity of our shaped refractory products is approximately 15,000 metric tons.

Finally, we provide a full-service option to our steel customers, which include refractory product installation, testing, maintenance, repair and replacement. Refractory product sales are often enhanced by our on-site installation and technical support personnel. Our installation services include applying refractory materials to the walls of steel-making furnaces and other high temperature vessels to maintain and extend their lives. Our technical service staff assure that our customers can achieve their desired productivity objectives. They also measure the refractory wear at our customer sites to improve the quality of maintenance and overall performance of our customers’ equipment. Full-service customers contributed approximately 40.5% of the Company’s total sales in the first six months of 2013, compared with 35.8% in the same period of 2012. We believe that these services, together with our refractory products, provide us a strategic advantage for profits.

Industrial Ceramics

Industrial Ceramics accounted for approximately 1.7% of the total revenue in the second quarter of 2013. Our industrial ceramic products, including abrasive balls and tiles, valves, electronic ceramics and structural ceramics, are components for a variety of end products such as fuses, vacuum interrupters, electrical components, mud slurry pumps, and high-pressure pumps. Such end use products are used in the electric power, electronic component, industrial pump, and metallurgy industries.

Fracture Proppants

Fracture Proppants accounted for approximately 31.5% of the total revenue in the second quarter of 2013. Our fracture proppant products are very fine ball-like pellets, used to reach pockets of oil and natural gas deposits that are trapped in the fractures under the ground. Oil drillers inject the pellets into those fractures, squeezing out the trapped oil or natural gas, which leads to higher yield. Our fracture proppant products are available in several different particle sizes (measured in millimeters). They are typically used to extract crude oil and natural gas, which increases the productivity of crude oil and natural gas wells. These products are highly resistant to pressure. In October 2007, our fracture proppant products were recognized by China National Petroleum Corporation (the “CNPC”), China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (the “Sinopec”) and China National Offshore Oil Corporation (the “CNOOC”) as their supplier of fracture proppant products for their oil and gas-drilling operation.

Fine Precision Abrasives

Fine Precision Abrasives accounted for approximately 2.5% of our total revenue in the second quarter of 2013. Fine precision abrasives are used for producing a super-fine, super-consistent finish on certain products. A high-strength polyester backing provides a uniform base for a coating of micron-graded mineral particles that are uniformly dispersed for greater finishing efficiency. Our fine precision abrasives are made from silicon carbide (“SiC”). They are ultra-fine, high-strength pellets with uniform shape, and they are used for surface-polishing and slicing of precision instruments such as solar panels. Currently, the type of abrasives that we produce is in high demand among solar-energy companies. Solar energy companies use fine precision abrasives to cut silicon bars and to polish equipment surfaces so that they can be smooth and reflective. Our products can be utilized in a broad range of areas including machinery manufacturing, electronics, optical glass, architecture, industry development, semiconductor, silicon chip, plastic and lens.

Summary of Business Operations in Second Quarter of 2013

Our financial performance in the second quarter of 2013 is summarized as follows:

Sales revenue decreased by approximately $3.6 million, or 18.6%, to approximately $16.0 million in the second quarter of 2013, from approximately $19.6 million for the same period in 2012.
Gross profit increased by approximately $680,000, or 22.3%, to approximately $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2013, from approximately $3.1 million for the same period in 2012. Gross profit margin was 23.4% in the second quarter of 2013, compared with 15.6% for the same period of 2012. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to the higher gross profit margin in our refractories segment as the cost of production declined in the second quarter of 2013. Net loss decreased by approximately $1.3 million, to approximately $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2013, from a net loss of approximately $3.8 million for the same period in 2012.
Our condensed consolidated balance sheet (unaudited) as of June 30, 2013 included current assets of approximately $127.3 million and total assets of approximately $168.7 million.

Uncertainties that Affect our Financial Condition

Continued Industry Consolidation of Steel Makers Further Squeezed Our Profit in Refractories Segment

Although the crude steel output in China reached a new record of approximate 717 million metric tons in 2012, the steel industry still faces overcapacity and weak demand from both domestic and international market. In addition, the PRC government’s continued policy to close small to mid-sized steel makers reduced the overall demand for refractories. As revenue from our Refractories segment accounted for a large portion of our total sales revenue and many of our customers are in the steel industry, the continued industry consolidation of steel makers have a deep impact on us and further reduced our profit in the refractories segment.

Considerable Increase in Raw Material Prices and Decrease in Gross Profit Margin

While the overall inflation in China started to ease in 2013, the increase in raw materials prices, labor costs and fuel and utilities costs continued to impact us. Also, in a fragmented market, the selling price of our products could not keep pace with the increase in raw materials prices.

Increase in Financing Costs Further Limited Our Ability to Expand Business

The unfavorable payment term offered by our customers in refractories segment and fine precision abrasives segment strained our working capital needs, and as a result significantly increased our financing costs, as banks charged higher interest rates when we discounted more bills receivables to meet our working capital needs.

Uncertainties Facing Our Fracture Proppants Segment

Starting from 2012, more and more Chinese manufacturers of fracture proppants products started to sell their products directly in the U.S. market. Since our sales of fracture proppants products in the U.S. market were mainly through wholesalers and distributors, the change in the market condition made it nearly impossible for us to continue sales in the U.S. market while still maintaining a reasonable profit margin. As a result, our sales in the U.S. market were discontinued in 2012. We are currently selling all our fracture proppants products to oil drillers in the domestic market.

Deteriorating Market for Our Fine Precision Abrasives Segment

China’s solar industry is experiencing severe challenge with many large solar panel manufacturers struggling to survive. As a supplier of solar-energy companies, we are facing remarkable uncertainties in maintaining our current customers. If we cannot continue our sales of fine precision abrasives products to solar industry we may have to reduce selling price significantly to stay competitive, and this will affect our revenue negatively and we may ultimately need to discontinue our production.

The average conversion rates between RMB and U.S. dollar used for the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss increased approximately 1.7% during the reporting period of 2013 compared with the reporting period of 2012. As substantially all of our revenues and most expenses are denominated in RMB, the appreciation in the value of RMB relative to the U.S. dollar affected our financial results reported in the U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations.

Sales revenue. Sales revenue decreased approximately $3.6 million, or 18.6% to approximately $16.0 million in the second quarter of 2013, from approximately $19.6 million in the same period of 2012. Excluding foreign currency translation, the revenue decreased 20.6% compared with the same period of 2012. Our sales revenue is currently generated from sales of our mineral-based products, primarily our refractory products, fracture proppant products, fine precision abrasives products and industrial ceramic products. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decreased sales from our fine precision abrasives products and refractories products which were partially offset by the increased sales from our fracture proppant products in the second quarter of 2013.

In our refractory segment, we sold 26,491 metric tons of refractory products in the second quarter of 2013, a 16.0% increase compared with 22,842 metric tons sold in the same period of 2012. The revenue from our refractory products decreased by approximately $1.3 million, or 11.6% to approximately $10.3 million in the second quarter of 2013 from approximately $11.6 million in the same period of 2012. Excluding foreign currency translation, the revenue decreased 13.9% compared with the same period of 2012. In the second quarter of 2013, the average selling prices was $388 per metric ton, a decrease of 23.9% compared with the average selling price of $509 in the second quarter of 2012. The decrease in average selling prices in the second quarter of 2013 resulted from our decreased sales of customized refractory products which usually have higher selling prices.

In our fracture proppant segment, we sold 19,846 metric tons of fracture proppant products in the second quarter of 2013, compared with 16,030 metric tons sold in the same period of 2012. The increase in sales volume was primarily driven by the increased sales in domestic market as we started to sell our products to oil producers in China from the second quarter of 2012. Revenue was approximately $5.0 million in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 19.1% compared with approximately $4.2 million in the same period of 2012. Excluding foreign currency translation, the revenue increased approximately 16.4% compared with the same period of 2012. Average selling price decreased to $253 per metric ton in the second quarter of 2013, compared with $263 per metric ton in the same period of 2012. The decrease in average selling price was primarily due to the increased sales of low-grade products in the second quarter of 2013.

In our industrial ceramics segment, sales revenue was approximately $281,000 in the second quarter of 2013 compared with approximately $529,000 in the same period of 2012 as demand for our industrial ceramics products declined.

In our fine precision abrasives segment, we realized sales of 166 metric tons in the second quarter of 2013, generating revenue of approximately $398,000. We sold 1,172 metric tons of fine precision abrasives products for approximately $3.3 million in the same period of 2012. The decrease in sales revenue was a result of weak demand for our fine precision abrasives products under current market condition and discontinued sales to a major customer.

Cost of goods sold. Our cost of goods sold is primarily comprised of the cost of raw materials, components, labor and overhead. Our cost of goods sold decreased approximately $4.4 million, or 26.1%, to approximately $12.2 million in the second quarter of 2013 from approximately $16.6 million in the same period of 2012. Excluding foreign currency translation, our cost of goods sold decreased 28.1% compared with the same period of 2012. As a percentage of net revenue, the cost of goods sold decreased by 7.8% to 76.6% in the second quarter of 2013 from 84.4% in the same period of 2012. The decrease in cost of goods sold was a result of decreased sales as we started to terminate unprofitable full-service contracts in the second quarter of 2013.

Gross profit. Our gross profit increased approximately $680,000, or 22.3% to approximately $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared with approximately $3.1 million in the same period of 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was 23.4% in the second quarter of 2013, as compared with 15.6% in the same period of 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to the lower labor and overhead costs in our refractory segment and decline in sales of fine precision abrasives products which usually have a very low gross profit margin.

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses consist of the expenses associated with staff and support personnel who manage our business activities and professional fees paid to third parties. Our general administrative expenses declined approximately $193,000 or 10.0% to approximately 1.7 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared with approximately $1.9 million in the same period in 2012. Excluding foreign currency translation, our general and administrative expenses declined 12.6% compared with the same period of 2012. As a percentage of net revenues, administrative expenses increased to 10.9% in the second quarter of 2013, compared with 9.9% in the same period in 2012.

Research and development expenses. Our research and development expenses increased to approximately $431,000 in the second quarter of 2013, compared with approximately $236,000 in the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to more research and development activities in the second quarter of 2013.

Selling expenses. Our selling expenses include sales commissions, expenses of advertising and promotional materials, transportation expenses, benefits of sales personnel, after-sale support services and other sales related expenses. Selling expenses decreased by approximately $690,000, or 24.7% to approximately $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared with approximately $2.8 million in the same period in 2012. Excluding foreign currency translation, our selling expenses declined 26.7% compared with the same period of 2012. As a percentage of net revenues, our selling expenses decreased to 13.2% in the second quarter of 2013, as compared with 14.2% in the same period in 2012. The decrease in selling expenses was primarily attributable to the decrease in the after-sales expenses and transportation expenses as we terminated several unprofitable full-service contracts in the second quarter of 2013.

Government grant income. Our government grant income was approximately $58,000 in the second quarter of 2013, There was no government grant income in the same period in 2012.

Equity in net loss of a non-consolidated affiliate. Equity in net loss of a non-consolidated affiliate was approximately $25,000 in the second quarter of 2013, compared with approximately $5,000 in the same period in 2012. Equity in net loss of a non-consolidated affiliate was related to our investment in Yili YiQiang Silicon Limited (“Yili”).

Interest income. Our interest income was approximately $172,000 in the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of approximately $14,000 compared with approximately $186,000 for the same period of 2012.

Finance costs. Our finance costs decreased by approximately $185,000, or 9.5% to approximately $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared with approximately $2.0 million in the same period in 2012. Excluding foreign currency translation, our finance costs decreased by 11.9% compared with the same period in 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately $456,000 in bills discounting charges which was partially offset by an increase of approximately $271,000 in interest expense.

Loss before income taxes and non-controlling interests. Our loss before income taxes and non-controlling interest was approximately $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared with approximately $3.6 million in the same period of 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in loss from operations in the second quarter of 2013.

Income taxes. Our income taxes were approximately $399,000 in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of approximately $197,000 from approximately $202,000 in the same period of 2012. Despite a net loss, as certain of our PRC subsidiaries recognized taxable income in China, we still incurred income taxes for the second quarter of 2013.

Net loss. Our net loss in the second quarter of 2013 was approximately $2.5 million, a decrease of approximately $1.3 million from approximately $3.8 million in the same period in 2012. The decrease was attributable to the factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.0 million and restricted cash of approximately $36.4 million.

Total stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2013 was approximately $34.7 million.

We believe that we can meet the cash requirements for the next twelve months. Although the cash flows from operating activities are not expected to improve significantly, we are confident that we can still get short-term loans from local banks. We expect the good relationship with local banks will continue as we never incurred late payments of principles and interests.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

	Six Months ended June 30,
Dollars in thousands	2013		2012
Net cash used in operating activities	(2,475	)	(13,305	)
Net cash used in investing activities	(820	)	(1,677	)

We have facility bank loans of approximately $32.6 million, maturing from July 25, 2013 to June 27, 2014 and bank borrowings secured by bank deposits of approximately $47.8 million. We will also consider refinancing debts. However, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to refinance any of our debts on terms favorable to us in a timely manner.

Statutory Reserves

Under PRC regulations, all our subsidiaries in the PRC may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC GAAP. In addition, these companies are required to set aside at least 10% of their after-tax net profits each year, if any, to fund the statutory reserves until the balance of the reserves reaches 50% of their registered capital. The statutory reserves are not distributable in the form of cash dividends to the Company and can be used to make up cumulative prior year losses.

Special Reserve

Before the reorganization, a former subsidiary of Refractories, Gongyi GengSheng Refractories Co., Ltd., was entitled to a special tax concession (“Tax Concession”) because it employed the required number of disabled staff according to the relevant PRC tax rules. In particular, this Tax Concession exempted the subsidiary from paying enterprise income tax. However, these tax savings can only be used for future development of its production facilities or welfare matters, and cannot be distributed as cash dividends. Accordingly, the same amount of tax savings was set aside and taken to special reserve which is not available for distribution. This reserve as maintained by the subsidiary has been combined into Refractories upon the reorganization and is subject to the same restrictions in its usage.

Restrictions on net assets also include the conversion of local currency into foreign currencies, tax withholding obligations on dividend distributions, the need to obtain State Administration of Foreign Exchange approval for loans to a non-PRC consolidated entity and the covenants or financial restrictions related to outstanding debt obligations. We did not have these restrictions on our net assets as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

The following table provides the amount of our statutory reserves, special reserve, the amount of restricted net assets, consolidated net assets, and the amount of restricted net assets as a percentage of consolidated net assets, as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

		As of		As of
		June 30,		December 31,
		2013		2012

Statutory reserves	$	4,554,936	$	4,554,936
Special reserve		3,556,036		3,556,036
Total restricted net assets	$	8,110,972	$	8,110,972
Consolidated net assets	$	34,599,604	$	40,331,549
Restricted net assets as percentage of consolidated net assets		23.4%		20.1%

Total restricted net assets accounted for approximately 23.4% of our consolidated net assets as of June 30, 2013. As our subsidiaries usually set aside only 10% of after-tax net profits each year to fund the statutory reserves and are not required to fund the statutory reserves when they incur losses, we believe the potential impact of such restricted net assets on our liquidity is limited.

Accounts Receivable and Bills Receivable

Accounts receivable represents amounts due to us by our customers on the sale of products or services on credit.

Bills receivable represents bank undertakings that essentially guarantee the payment of amounts owed by our customers to us. The undertakings are provided by banks upon receipt of collateral deposits from the customers. Bills receivable can be sold by us at a discount before maturity.

The following is the aging analysis for accounts receivable as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

		As of		As of
		June 30,		December 31,
		2013		2012

Due within 1 year	$	41,366,553	$	49,553,183
Due from 1 to 2 years		6,691,394		4,821,849
Due from 2 to 3 years		2,855,420		2,521,481
Due over 3 years		2,450,196		1,646,402

Total	$	53,363,563	$	58,542,915

The following is the aging analysis for bills receivable as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

		As of		As of
		June 30,		December 31,
		2013		2012

Due within 6 months	$	7,951,443	$	9,913,668

Total	$	7,951,443	$	9,913,668

We generally provide our customers in the refractories segment with a payment period of 90 days and our customers in the fine precision abrasives segment with a payment period of 180 days. As there are many producers in the refractories and fine precision abrasives market competing with us, we find it difficult to change these payment terms. The payment term for our other segments varies by customers.

We noted that turnover days of accounts receivable in our refractories segment increased in the six months ended June 30, 2013 due to the macro economic situation. However, we are usually willing to continue the relationship with our customers in the refractory segment and allow for additional time for them to make payments. In the meantime, since most of our large customers are state-owned steel producers and our products are essential for their daily operations, we have not seen a significant increase of risk related to the collection of accounts receivables.

Critical Accounting Policies

Basis of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

In preparing 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 periods. These accounts and estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of trade receivables, other receivables, inventories, deferred income taxes, provision of warranty, the estimation on useful lives of property, plant and equipment and the impairment of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectability of trade receivables.

A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of the allowance. The Company considers the historical level of credit losses and applies percentages to aged receivable categories. The Company makes judgments about the creditworthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations, and monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a larger allowance may be required.

The Company’s general provisioning policy is to record an allowance equivalent to 5% of trade receivables due from 1 to 2 years, 40% of trade receivables due from 2 to 3 years and 90% of trade receivables due over 3 years. Additional specific provision is made against trade receivables to the extent which they are considered to be doubtful.

Bad debts are written off when identified. The Company does not accrue interest on trade receivables.

Investment in a non-consolidated affiliate

Investment in an entity over which the Company does not have control, but has significant influence, is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s investment in Yili YiQiang Silicon Limited ("Yili") is reported in the consolidated balance sheets as investment in a non-consolidated affiliate.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes impairment of long-lived assets in the event that the net book values of such assets exceed the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets.

During the reporting periods, the Company has not identified any indicators that would require testing for impairment.

Financial guarantee issued

The Company has acted as guarantor for bank loans granted to certain local authorities and certain business associates. The Company assessed its obligation under this guarantee pursuant to the provision of ASC 460 “Guarantee”. The Company recognized in its consolidated financial statements a liability for that guarantee at fair value at the date of inception and recognized as an expense in profit or loss immediately. The amount of guarantee liability is amortized in profit or loss over the term of the guarantee as income from financial guarantees issued.

Revenue recognition

Pure products sales - Sales revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer at the time when the products are delivered to and accepted by customers, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

Products sales with installation, testing, maintenance, repair and replacement - This kind of contract is signed as a whole such that all of these services are provided for one fixed fee, and it does not separate the components of products, installation, testing, maintenance, repair and replacement. After delivery of products/materials to customers, the Company will do the installation and testing works, which takes one to two days, before acceptance and usage by customers. The product life cycle is very short and can normally be used for 80 cycles of production by customers (about two to three days). Thereafter the customers will need maintenance, repair and replacement of the Company’s materials. For each maintenance, repair and replacement, the Company will supply materials and do the installation and testing works again, which are regarded as separate sales by the Company. In other words, the Company will have sales to this kind of customer every couple of days. This kind of sales revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer at the time when the installation and testing works are completed and after acceptance by customers, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

Revenue from sales of the Company’s product represents the invoiced value of goods, net of the value-added tax (“VAT”). The Company’s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to VAT at a rate of 17 percent of the gross sales price. The VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials, other materials or costs included in the cost of producing the Company’s products.

Stock-based compensation

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718, which requires the use of the fair value method of accounting for share-based compensation. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost related to employee stock options or similar equity instruments which are equity-classified awards, is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the requisite service period, which is usually the vesting period. ASC 718 also requires measurement of cost of a liability-classified award based on its current fair value.
