Quarterly Report


Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Information - This item includes "forward-looking statements". All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this item regarding the Company's financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management of the Company for future operations are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of the Company's control, which could cause actual results to materially differ from such statements. While the Company believes that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in predicting certain important factors, especially the timing and magnitude of technological advances; the prospects for future acquisitions; the competition in the solar water heaters and boilers industry and the impact of such competition on pricing, revenues and margins; uncertainties surrounding budget reductions or changes in funding priorities of existing government programs and the cost of attracting and retaining highly skilled personnel.

Overview

We are engaged in the solar and renewable energy business in the PRC. Our business is conducted through our wholly-owned PRC based operating subsidiaries, Bazhou Deli Solar, Beijing Deli Solar, and our indirect subsidiary Tianjin Huaneng (majority owned).

The Company has two reportable segments: (i) Solar heater/Biomass stove/Boiler related products and (ii) Heat pipe related equipment/Energy-saving projects.

Deli Solar (Bazhou) designs, manufactures and sells renewable energy systems to produce hot water and for space heating in the PRC. Bazhou Deli Solar's principal products are solar hot water heaters and multifunctional space heaters, including coal-fired boilers for residential use. Bazhou Deli Solar also sells component parts for its products and provides after-sales maintenance and repair services.

Deli Solar (Beijing) is principally engaged in the installation of large solar water heaters in construction projects in major cities in the PRC, including Beijing. However, so far there is no net revenue derived from Beijing Deli Solar.

Tianjin Huaneng manufactures heating products such as heating pipes, heat exchangers, specialty heating pipes and tubes, high temperature hot blast boilers, heating filters, normal pressure water boilers, solar energy water heaters and radiators.

Approximately 20.4% of our net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were derived from sales of our solar heater/biomass stove/boiler related products and 79.6% from sales of our heat pipe related equipment/energy-saving projects, respectively. Approximately 97.2% and 2.8% of our net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009, were derived from sales made inside the PRC and outside the PRC, respectively.

Recent Developments

On July 6, 2009, Beijing Deli Solar entered into the Termination Agreement with the SZPSP Shareholders. The Termination Agreement terminates the Equity Purchase and Complementary Agreements Beijing Deli Solar entered into with the SZPSP Shareholders on January 9, 2008, which were amended and supplemented by the Supplementary Agreement Beijing Deli Solar entered into with the SZPSP Shareholders on March 25, 2008. The terms of the Equity Purchase and Complementary Agreements are described in our Form 8-K report filed on January 15, 2008. The terms of the Supplementary Agreement are described in our Form 8-K report filed on April 1, 2008. We accounted for SZPSP as a wholly-owned subsidiary from March 31, 2008 up to March 31, 2009.


The key terms of the Termination Agreement are:

· Deli Solar (Beijing) having already received RMB12,960,486.30 from the SZPSP Shareholders prior to the execution of the Termination Agreement, the SZPSP Shareholders to pay to Beijing Deli Solar the remaining RMB15,839,513.70 from the RMB28.8 million purchase price specified in the Supplementary Agreement in two installments (RMB8,000,000 within 10 days from the execution date of the Termination Agreement and the remaining balance within two months from the execution date of the Termination Agreement)

· The SZPSP Shareholders to return to Beijing Deli Solar an aggregate of 939,364 shares in our Company they received pursuant to the Supplementary Agreement

· The SZPSP Shareholders will also pay to Deli-Solar (Beijing) a portion of SZPSP's net profit for the period from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009, an amount which will be determined at a future date by the SZPSP Shareholders and Deli-Solar (Beijing)

  Revenue
  Solar heater/Biomass stove/Boiler related products    $ 1,464,143        9,996,713
  Heat pipe related equipments/Energy-saving projects   $ 8,195,105        5,847,069
  total                                                 $ 9,659,248       15,843,782

Overall: Sales revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $9,659,248 as compared to $15,843,782 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $6,184,534 or 39.0%. The decrease in sales was primarily attributable to the decline in revenue from our solar heater/biomass stove/boiler related products under the management of Deli Solar (Bazhou). We expect overall sales revenue for heat pipe related equipments and energy-saving projects to increase during the rest of the year with the completion of pending orders from the first quarter and the collection of account receivables corresponding to these projects.

Solar heater/Biomass stove/Boiler related products: Sales revenue for these products for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $1,464,143 as compared to $9,996,713 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $8,532,570 or 85.4%. The decrease in sales revenue derived from solar heaters/biomass stove/boiler related products was due to a weak market and strong competition. We expect competition to continue for the remainder of 2009.

Heat pipe related equipments/Energy-saving projects: Sales revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $8,195,105 compared to $5,847,069 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a substantial increase of $2,348,036 or 40.2%. The increase in sales of heat pipe related equipments/energy-saving projects was due to certain large orders placed in the fourth quarter of 2008, revenue from which we recognized during the second quarter of 2009.

Overall: Gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased by approximately 5.5% to 19.4%, as compared to 24.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. This was primarily due to the decrease in sales of our heat pipe related equipment/energy-saving projects and the increase in the cost of key raw materials. We increased our inventory of stainless steel while the price of stainless steel price was high, resulting in higher production costs and a lower gross profit.

Solar heater/Biomass stove/Boiler related products: Gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately 21.9%, a slight increase of 1.4% as compared to 20.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Heat pipe related equipments/Energy-saving projects: Gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately 18.9%, a decrease of 13.6% from 32.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 due to an increase in the cost of raw materials.

The overall decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to the decrease in sales of our solar heater/biomass stove/boiler related products and the resulting decrease in selling and distribution expenses and general and administrative expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased to $103,028 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, or 22.1%, from $132,216 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, primarily as a result of the end of useful life for certain of our manufacturing equipment in the first quarter of 2009.

Selling and distribution expenses decreased to $480,587 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, or 56.2%, from $1,097,814 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, primarily due to the decrease in sales of our solar heater/biomass stove/boiler related products.

The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in sales of solar heater/biomass stove/boiler related products.

Net Income

Net income was $1,094,944 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $1,096,214 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The net loss for the first quarter of 2009 was $940,548. The increase in net income as compared with the first quarter of this year was mainly due to the gain on disposal of SZPSP and increase in sales from heat pipe related equipments and energy-saving projects under the management of Tianjin Huaneng.
