(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Organization
Orient Paper, Inc. (Orient Paper or the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 9, 2005, under the name of Carlateral, Inc. Carlateral, Inc. started its business by providing financing services specializing in subprime title loans, secured primarily using automobiles (and also boats, recreational vehicles, machinery, and other equipment) as collateral.
Hebei Baoding Orient Paper Milling Company Limited (HBOP) was organized on March 3, 1996, under the laws of the PRC. HBOP engages mainly in the production and distribution of products such as corrugated paper, offset paper, writing paper, and blueprint paper. The Company also has capability to produce other paper and packaging-related products, such as plastic paper and craft paper. HBOP uses recycled paper as its primary raw material.
Dongfang Zhiye Holding Limited (DZH Limited) was formed on November 13, 2006, under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, and is a holding company. As such, DZH Limited does not generate any financial or operating transactions. On July 16, 2007, DZH Limited acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock and ownership of HBOP and placed such shares in trust with Zhenyong Liu, Xiaodong Liu, and Shuangxi Zhao, pursuant to a trust agreement executed as of the same date. Under the terms of the trust agreement, Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhao (the original shareholders of HBOP) would exercise control over the disposition of DZH Limiteds shares in HBOP on DZH Limiteds behalf until DZH Limited successfully completed the change in registration of HBOPs capital with the relevant PRC Administration of Industry and Commerce as the 100 percent owner of HBOPs shares.
On October 29, 2007, Orient Paper entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (see Note 7) with (i) Orient Paper wholly owned subsidiary, CARZ Merger Sub, Inc., (ii) DZH Limited, and (iii) each of DZH Limited shareholders (Zhenyong Liu, Xiaodong Liu, Chen Li, Ning Liu, Jie Liu, Shenzhen Huayin Guaranty & Investment Company Limited, Top Good International Limited, Total Giant Group Limited, Total Shine Group Limited, Victory High Investment Limited, Think Big Trading Limited, Huge Step Enterprises Limited, and Sure Believe Enterprise Limited).
Pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger, DZH Limited merged with CARZ Merger Sub, Inc. via a share exchange, with DZH Limited as the surviving entity. In exchange for their shares in DZH Limited, the DZH Limited shareholders received an aggregate of 29,801,987 newly-issued shares of Orient Papers common stock, $.001 par value, which were distributed pro ratably among the DZH Limited shareholders in accordance with their respective ownership interests in DZH Limited.
As a result of the merger transaction, DZH Limited became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Orient Paper, which, in turn, made Orient Paper the indirect owner of DZH Limiteds operating company subsidiary, HBOP, pursuant to the terms of the trust agreement. HBOP, the entity through which the Company operates its business currently has no subsidiaries, either wholly- or partially-owned.
Prior to the completion of the reverse merger, Orient Paper only had limited operations (since its incorporation on December 9, 2005). On December 21, 2007, the name of the Company was changed from Carlateral, Inc. to Orient Paper, Inc. in order to better reflect the current business plan subsequent to the reverse merger.
To ensure proper compliance of the Companys control over the ownership and operations of HBOP with certain PRC regulations, on June 24, 2009, the Company entered into a series of contractual agreements (the Contractual Agreements) with HBOP and the original shareholders of HBOP via our wholly owned subsidiaries Shengde Holdings, Inc. (Shengde Holdings, a Nevada corporation) and Baoding Shengde Paper Co., Ltd. (Baoding Shengde, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise in the PRC with a registered capital of $10,000,000. Baoding Shengde is 100 percent owned by Shengde Holdings.) The Contractual Agreements include (i) Exclusive Technical Service and Business Consulting Agreement, which generally provides that Baoding Shengde shall provide exclusive technical, business and management consulting services to HBOP, in exchange for service fees including a fee equivalent to 80 percent of HBOPs total annual net profits; (ii) Loan Agreement, which provides that Baoding Shengde will make a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 to the original shareholders of HBOP in exchange for each such shareholder agreeing to contribute all of its proceeds from the loan to the registered capital of HBOP; (iii) Call Option Agreement, which generally provides, among other things, that the original shareholders of HBOP irrevocably grant to Baoding Shengde an option to purchase all or part of each shareholders equity interest in HBOP. The exercise price for the options shall be RMB1 for each of the shareholders equity interests; (iv) Share Pledge Agreement, which provides that the original shareholders of HBOP will pledge all of their equity interests in HBOP to Baoding Shengde as security for their obligations under the other management agreements described in this section. Specifically, Baoding Shengde is entitled to dispose of the pledged equity interests in the event that the HBOP shareholders breach their obligations under the loan agreement or HBOP fails to pay the service fees to Baoding Shengde pursuant to the exclusive technical service and business consulting agreement; and (v) Proxy Agreement, which provides that the HBOP shareholders shall irrevocably entrust a designee of Baoding Shengde with such shareholders voting rights and the right to represent such shareholder to exercise such shareholders rights at any shareholders meeting of HBOP or with respect to any shareholder action to be taken in accordance with the laws and HBOPs Articles of Association. The terms of the agreement are binding on the parties for as long as the HBOP shareholders continue to hold any equity interest in HBOP. An HBOP shareholder will cease to be a party to the agreement once it transfers its equity interests with the prior approval of Baoding Shengde.

ORIENT PAPER, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2009 AND 2008
(Unaudited)
Given that prior to June 25, 2009, DZH Limited was considered to have acquired Orient Paper by a reverse merger through an Agreement and Plan of Merger (see Note 7), with its stockholders having voting control of Orient Paper; and that after June 24, 2009, the Company through its subsidiary (Baoding Shengde) continues to effectively control HBOP under the operations of the Contractual Agreements, the accompanying financial statements and related disclosures in the notes to financial statements present the financial position as of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, and the operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, and 2008, of all of its subsidiaries and HBOP under the name of Orient Paper. The reverse merger has been recorded as a recapitalization of Orient Paper, with the consolidated net assets of DZH Limited, Shengde Holdings, Baoding Shengde and its wholly owned operating subsidiary HBOP, and net assets Orient Paper brought forward at their historical bases. The costs associated with the reverse merger have been expensed as incurred.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The interim financial statements of Orient Paper have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, and the instructions for Form 10-Q under Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. They do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with Orient Papers audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008, included in Orient Papers Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 27, 2009, with the SEC.
The accompanying interim financial statements included herein are unaudited. However, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly Orient Papers financial position as of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, and 2008. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the year ending December 31, 2009.
Foreign Currency Translation
Orient Paper accounts for foreign currency translation pursuant to SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation (SFAS No. 52). Orient Papers functional currency is the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (RMB). Under SFAS No. 52, all assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars using the current exchange rate at the end of each fiscal period. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the respective periods. Translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income (loss) for the period. Certain transactions of Orient Paper are denominated in United States dollars. Translation gains or losses related to such transactions are recognized for each reporting period in the related statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

ORIENT PAPER, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2009 AND 2008
(Unaudited)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, and revenues and expenses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, and 2008. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Risks and Uncertainties
Orient Paper is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates, and operating in the PRC under its various laws and restrictions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting within the statements of cash flows, Orient Paper considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject Orient Paper to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. Orient Paper places its temporary cash investments in reputable financial institutions in the PRC. Although it is generally understood that the PRC central government stands behind all of the banks in China in the event of bank failure, there is no deposit insurance system in China that is similar to the protection provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) of the United States.
Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recorded on shipment of products to customers, and generally are due under the terms of net 30 days. The trade receivables are not collateralized and interest is not accrued on past due accounts. Periodically, management reviews the adequacy of its provision for doubtful accounts based on historical bad debt expense results and current economic conditions using factors based on the aging of its accounts receivable. Additionally, Orient Paper may identify additional allowance requirements based on indications that a specific customer may be experiencing financial difficulties. Actual bad debt results could differ materially from these estimates. As of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, the balance of allowance for doubtful accounts was $55,872 and $0, respectively. While management uses the best information available upon which to base estimates, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used for the purposes of analysis.
Inventories
Inventories consist principally of raw materials (used paper and pulps) and finished goods, and are stated at the lower of cost (average cost method) or market. Cost includes labor, raw materials, and allocated overhead.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals, betterments, and improvements are capitalized to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance, and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed to operations. At the time property, plant, and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation or amortization accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to operations.
Orient Paper depreciates and amortizes property, plant, and equipment using the straight-line method as follows:
|
|
|
|
Building and improvements |
30 years |
|
Machinery and equipment |
5-15 years |
|
Vehicles |

ORIENT PAPER, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2009 AND 2008
(Unauditied)
Long-Lived Assets
Orient Paper evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets and the related estimated remaining useful lives when events or circumstances lead management to believe that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amount. In such circumstances, those assets are written down to estimated fair value. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, and 2008, no events or circumstances occurred for which an evaluation of the recoverability of long-lived assets was required.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Orient Paper estimates the fair value of financial instruments using the available market information and valuation methods. Considerable judgment is required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value may not be indicative of the amounts Orient Paper could realize in a current market exchange. As of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, Orient Papers financial instruments approximated fair value to do the nature and maturity of such instruments.
Statutory Reserves
The laws and regulations of the PRC require that before an enterprise distributes profits to its shareholders, it must first satisfy all tax liabilities, provide for losses in previous years, and make allocations, in proportions determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors, after the statutory reserve. The statutory reserves include a surplus reserve fund and a common welfare fund. These statutory reserves represent restricted retained earnings.
Surplus Reserve Fund
Orient Paper is required to transfer 10 percent of the current year net income of HBOP, as determined in accordance with the PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50 percent of HBOPs registered capital.

The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of any dividend to shareholders. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, and 2008, Orient Paper did not make a transfer to this reserve. The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25 percent of the registered capital.
Common Welfare Fund
Orient Paper is required to transfer 5 percent to 10 percent of the net income of HBOP, as determined in accordance with the PRC accounting rules and regulations, to the statutory common welfare fund on an annual basis. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, and 2008, Orient Paper did not make a transfer to this fund. This fund can only be utilized on capital items for the collective benefit of Orient Papers employees, such as construction of dormitories, cafeteria facilities, and other staff welfare facilities. This fund is non-distributable other than upon liquidation. The transfer to this fund must be made before distribution of any dividend to shareholders.

Lease Obligations
All noncancellable leases with an initial term greater than one year are categorized as either capital or operating leases. Assets recorded under capital leases are amortized according to the same depreciation methods employed for property and equipment or over the term of the related lease, if shorter.
Income Taxes
Orient Paper accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS No. 109). Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences.
Orient Paper maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets. Orient Paper establishes a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration Orient Papers financial position and results of operations for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period under the Federal tax laws.
Foreign operations of Orient Paper are governed by the Income Tax Laws of the PRC. Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Laws, the Enterprise Income Tax (EIT) is imposed at a statutory rate of 25 percent.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Orient Paper presents comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income (SFAS No. 130). SFAS No. 130 states that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income (loss) be reported in the financial statements. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, and 2008, the only components of comprehensive income were the net income for the periods, and the foreign currency translation adjustments.
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock 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.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company uses the fair value recognition provision of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share Based payment (FASB No. 123R), which requires the Company to expense the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of such instruments. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of any equity instruments on the grant date.
The Company also uses the provisions of EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, Or in Conjunction with selling, Goods or Services (EITF 96-18), to account for stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services. Such awards for services are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in EITF 96-18.

(10) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations Revised 2007 (SFAS No. 141R), which replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations .. SFAS No. 141 restablishes principles and requirements intending to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. This is accomplished through requiring the acquirer to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date, measured at their acquisition-date fair values. This includes contractual contingencies only if it is more likely than not that they meet the definition of an asset of a liability in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements a replacement of FASB Concepts Statement No. 3. This statement also requires the acquirer to recognize goodwill as of the acquisition date, measured as a residual. However, this statement improves the way in which an acquirers obligations to make payments conditioned on the outcome of future events are recognized and measured, which in turn improves the measure of goodwill. This statement also defines a bargain purchase as a business combination in which the total acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred plus any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, and it requires the acquirer to recognize that excess in earnings as a gain attributable to the acquirer. This, therefore, improves the representational faithfulness and completeness of the information provided about both the acquirers earnings during the period in which it makes a bargain purchase and the measures of the assets acquired in the bargain purchase. The management of Orient Paper does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parents equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that changes in a parents ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS No. 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest.
SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The management of Orient Paper does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement 133 (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 enhances required disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including enhanced disclosures regarding how: (a) an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB No. 133,
19
ORIENT PAPER, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2009 AND 2008
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ; and (c) derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Specifically, FASB No. 161 requires:
|
|
|
|
|
Disclosure of the objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation; |
|
|
|
|
|
Disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format; |
|
|
|
|
|
Disclosure of information about credit-risk-related contingent features; and |
|
|
|
|
|
Cross-reference from the derivative footnote to other footnotes in which derivative-related information is disclosed. |
FASB No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Earlier application is encouraged. The management of Orient Paper does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS No. 162). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The sources of accounting principles that are generally accepted are categorized in descending order as follows:
|
|
|
|
a) |
FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards and Interpretations, FASB Statement 133 Implementation Issues, FASB Staff Positions, and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Accounting Research Bulletins and Accounting Principles Board Opinions that are not superseded by actions of the FASB. |
|
|
|
|
b) |
FASB Technical Bulletins and, if cleared by the FASB, AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements of Position. |
|
|
|
|
c) |
AICPA Accounting Standards Executive Committee Practice Bulletins that have been cleared by the FASB, consensus positions of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), and the Topics discussed in Appendix D of EITF Abstracts (EITF D-Topics). |
|
|
|
|
d) |
Implementation guides (Q&As) published by the FASB staff, AICPA Accounting Interpretations, AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements of Position not cleared by the FASB, and practices that are widely recognized and prevalent either generally or in the industry. |
SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendment to its authoritative literature. It is only effective for nongovernmental entities; therefore, the GAAP hierarchy will remain in SAS 69 for state and local governmental entities and federal governmental entities. The management of Orient Paper does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
On May 26, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts (SFAS No. 163). SFAS No. 163 clarifies how FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises (SFAS No. 60), applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. It also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts.
The accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 163 are intended to improve the comparability and quality of information provided to users of financial statements by creating consistency. Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under SFAS No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. That diversity results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred under FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (SFAS No. 5). SFAS No. 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured
20

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
financial obligation. It also requires disclosure about (a) the risk-management activities used by an insurance enterprise to evaluate credit deterioration in its insured financial obligations and (b) the insurance enterprises surveillance or watch list.
SFAS No. 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years, except for disclosures about the insurance enterprises risk-management activities. Disclosures about the insurance enterprises risk-management activities are effective the first period beginning after issuance of SFAS No. 163. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The management of Orient Paper does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have material impact on its financial statements.
On May 28, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS No. 165). Statement 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This SFAS requires, among other things, the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. An entity should apply the requirements under SFAS No. 165 to interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have material impact on its financial statements 166,167 and 168 to include.
On June 9, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets- an amendment of FASB Statement No, 140” (“SFAS No.166”). SFAS No.166 revises the derecognization provision of SFAS No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities” and will require entities to provide more information about sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the seller retains some risk with respect to the assets. It also eliminates the concept of a "qualifying special-purpose entity." This statement is effective for financial asset transfers occurring after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have material impact on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 167 "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)." SFAS No.167 amends certain requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” to improve financial reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities and to provide additional disclosures about the involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. A reporting entity will be required to disclose how its involvement with a variable interest entity affects the reporting entity's financial statements. This Statement shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have material impact on its financial statements.
(11) Subsequent Events
On July 1, 2009, the Company renewed the short-term working capital loan which expired on June 4, 2009, with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The principal amount of the renewed working capital loan is in the amount of $876,578 (or RMB 6,000,000 yuan), which will expire on June 30, 2010. Interest only payments are due monthly at a fixed rate of 5.841% per annum. The loan is secured by manufacturing equipment of the Company.
On July 23, 2009, the Companys Board of Directors resolved to approve the issuance of a two-year warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Companys common stock at the price of $1.00 per share as an incentive payment to CCG Investor Relations Partners LLC as part compensation for their investor relations services in the next 12 months. The warrant has a cashless exercise provision and a piggyback registration right.

Corrugated papers remain a strong source of growth in our sales. In addition to optimization of our paper machine speed to maximize output, we believe industrial and packaging needs for corrugated paper will at least keep expanding gradually as Chinas manufacturing activities rebound from the economic downturn.
Generally, unit sales prices for our paper products during the second quarter of 2009 remained stable as compared to the first quarter of the year, and were even slightly lower as compared to the same period ended June 30, 2008, when commodities prices rose sharply, including the costs of our raw materials. Nevertheless, the increase in our sales revenue was primarily attributable to new customers who placed purchase orders for our high-grade offset papers and corrugated paper products.
Among our 5 new printing paper customer accounts added during the second quarter of 2009, we picked up a local printing house as a major new customer and a paper distributor in Beijing that ordered large quantities of offset paper and writing paper. We anticipate that they will continue ordering from us in the next periods. In the corrugated paper sector, 9 new accounts were also added to our customer list during the second quarter of 2009. Overall, sales to our new printing/writing paper customers account for 17.82% of our second quarter 2009 total sales revenue. Sales to new corrugated paper customers account for 17.21% of our second quarter 2009 sales revenue.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $3,968,983, an increase of $798,838 or 25.20%, from $3,170,145 for the comparable period in 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to increased production and sales activities and was generally in direct proportion to the increase in sales. The gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2009, decreased slightly by 0.34% from 18.06% to 17.72%, thanks to the growth in corrugated paper sales, which generally command a lower profit margin compared to printing and writing papers.
Income from operations
Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $3,693,175, an increase of $725,846 or 24.46%, from $2,967,329 for the comparable period in 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to increased sales and gross profit in the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $18,431,400 (or 82.28% of total sales revenue), an increase of $4,048,291 or 28.15% (compare to 27.61% increase in sales revenue) from $14,383,109 for the comparable period in 2008. The increase in cost of sales is largely due to and in direct proportion to the increased sales revenue.
23
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $275,808, an increase of $72,992 or 35.99% from $202,816 for the comparable period in 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to more payments for various professional service fees related to our status as a public company. Despite the increase, total selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage to sales increased only slightly, from 1.16% for the second quarter of 2008 to 1.23% for the comparable period in 2009.
Net Income
Net income was $2,474,658 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $169,093 or 7.33% from $2,305,565 for the comparable period in 2008. As explained previously, the increase was primarily attributable to the increased sales activities and the gross profit.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable increased $357,688 (or 15.03%) to $2,737,705 as of June 30, 2009, compared with $2,380,017 as of March 31, 2009. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily attributable to increased sales volume (compared to increased sales revenue of 27.61%). There was no change in our credit policies toward sales on account.
Inventory
Inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods. As of June 30, 2009, the recorded value of our inventory has increased 314.46 % to $5,676,123 from $1,369,524 as of March 31, 2009. The increase is mainly due to the following:
(1) an increase in the stock of recycled paper board, a major raw material in the production of corrugated paper, in the amount of $2,619,728 as compared to the recycled paper board inventory balance as of March 31, 2009 as a result of the continuing growth in sales of corrugated paper during the first half of this year. Sales of corrugated paper in the three months ended June 30, 2009 increased $4,562,905 (or 25.58%) over the comparable 3-month period ended March 31, 2009. We believe the growth in corrugated paper sales will continue into the third quarter of the year.
(2) an increase in the stock of pulp, a major raw material used to produce high-grade offset paper and white card paper, which we are capable of making but is not a regular major product line in the past. We received customer orders for white card paper at the end of June 2009. We completed production and sold white card paper for more than $1.8 million in July 2009.
(3) an increase in the stock of recycled printed paper, which is a major raw material in the production of writing paper, in the amount of $472,318 (or 3,457.42%) over the balance as of March 31, 2009. Sales of writing paper in the three months ended June 30, 2009 increased by $1,289,376 (or 32.66%) over the comparable 3-month period ended March 31, 2009.
(4) a decrease in the stock of recycled white edge paper, which is a major raw material in the production of medium-grade offset paper. The decrease in recycled white edge paper corresponds to the decrease in medium-grade offset paper sales in the second quarter of 2009. However, we believe the decrease in medium-grade offset paper sales is temporary.
24
The Company anticipates that raw material costs may remain relatively low at least in the third quarter of 2009. A summary of inventory balances as of June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009 and analysis of their changes are as follows:

Accounts Payable
Accounts payable was $2,779,164 as of June 30, 2009, an increase of $1,288,270 or 86.41% from $1,490,894 as of March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily related to the inventory purchase made toward the end of the month of June 2009.
Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
Revenue
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $40,237,862, an increase of $9,156,575 or 29.46% from $31,081,287 for the comparable period in 2008. The increase was attributable to the increase in demand in corrugated paper and high-grade offset paper. Revenue from corrugated paper amounted to $19,685,572 (or 48.92% of total revenue) for the six months ended June 30, 2009, representing a $6,920,117 (or 54.21%) increase over the corrugated paper revenue of $12,765,455 for the comparable period in 2008. Revenue from high-grade offset paper amounted to $8,283,864 (or 20.59% of total revenue) for the six months ended June 30, 2009, representing a $2,951,348 (or 55.35%) increase over the high-grade offset paper revenue of $5,332,516 for the comparable period in 2008. Conversely, revenue from medium-grade offset paper for the six months ended June 30, 2009 dropped $3,253,228 to $3,082,795, which represents only 7.66% of the total revenue for the first half of 2009. Revenue from writing paper amounted to $9,185,631 (or 22.83% of total revenue) for the six months ended June 30, 2009, representing an increase of $2,538,338 (or 38.19%) over the writing paper revenue of $6,647,293 for the comparable period in 2008.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $474,561, an increase of $50,788 or 11.98% from $423,773 for the comparable period in 2008.

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable increased 190.46% to $2,737,705 as of June 30, 2009, compared with $942,525 at June 30, 2008.

We typically collect essentially all of the accounts receivable within 30 days of sales on account. Sales revenue for the month of June was $7,586,245 and $6,176,498 for the years of 2009 and 2008, respectively. The monthly increase of sales in the amount of $1,409,747 from the month of June 2008 to June 2009 provides a major source for the increased balance of $942,525 in accounts receivable as of June 30, 2009.
Inventory
Inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods. As of the six months ended June 30, 2009, the recorded value of our inventory has increased 107.42% to $5,676,123 from $2,736,524 as of June 30, 2008. A summary of changes in major inventory items is as follows:

The increase is mainly due to an increase in raw material costs for recycled paper board and pulp. As explained above, the increase in raw materials was caused by a number of factors, including an increase in corrugated paper sales and orders for white card paper that use pulp as main raw materials.

Accounts Payable
Accounts payable (excluding non-inventory purchase payables and accrued expenses) was $2,779,164 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $4,325,802 or 60.88% from $7,104,966 from exactly a year ago.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Companys financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates (See Note 2 in the Notes to Financial Statements).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations Revised 2007 (SFAS No. 141R), which replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements intending to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. This is accomplished through requiring the acquirer to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date, measured at their acquisition-date fair values. This includes contractual contingencies only if it is more likely than not that they meet the definition of an asset of a liability in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements a replacement of FASB Concepts Statement No. 3.This statement also requires the acquirer to recognize goodwill as of the acquisition date, measured as a residual. However, this statement improves the way in which an acquirers obligations to make payments conditioned on the outcome of future events are recognized and measured, which in turn improves the measure of goodwill. This statement also defines a bargain purchase as a business combination in which the total acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred plus any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, and it requires the acquirer to recognize that excess in earnings as a gain attributable to the acquirer. This, therefore, improves the representational faithfulness and completeness of the information provided about both the acquirers earnings during the period in which it makes a bargain purchase and the measures of the assets acquired in the bargain purchase. The management of Orient Paper does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parents equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that changes in a parents ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS No. 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest.
SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The management of Orient Paper does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement 133 (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 enhances required
29
disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including enhanced disclosures regarding how: (a) an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; and (c) derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Specifically, FASB No. 161 requires:
|
|
|
|
|
Disclosure of the objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation; |
|
|
|
|
|
Disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format; |
|
|
|
|
|
Disclosure of information about credit-risk-related contingent features; and |
|
|
|
|
|
Cross-reference from the derivative footnote to other footnotes in which derivative-related information is disclosed. |
FASB No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Earlier application is encouraged. The management of Orient Paper does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS No. 162). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The sources of accounting principles that are generally accepted are categorized in descending order as follows:
|
|
|
|
a) |
FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards and Interpretations, FASB Statement 133 Implementation Issues, FASB Staff Positions, and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Accounting Research Bulletins and Accounting Principles Board Opinions that are not superseded by actions of the FASB. |
|
|
|
|
b) |
FASB Technical Bulletins and, if cleared by the FASB, AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements of Position. |
|
|
|
|
c) |
AICPA Accounting Standards Executive Committee Practice Bulletins that have been cleared by the FASB, consensus positions of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), and the Topics discussed in Appendix D of EITF Abstracts (EITF D-Topics). |
|
|
|
|
d) |
Implementation guides (Q&As) published by the FASB staff, AICPA Accounting Interpretations, AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements of Position not cleared by the FASB, and practices that are widely recognized and prevalent either generally or in the industry. |
SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendment to its authoritative literature. It is only effective for nongovernmental entities; therefore, the GAAP hierarchy will remain in SAS 69 for state and local governmental entities and federal governmental entities. The management of Orient Paper does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
On May 26, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts (SFAS No. 163). SFAS No. 163 clarifies how FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises (SFAS No. 60), applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. It also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts.
The accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 163 are intended to improve the comparability and quality of information provided to users of financial statements by creating consistency. Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under SFAS No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. That diversity results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred under FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (SFAS No. 5). SFAS No. 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also requires disclosure about (a) the risk-management activities used by an insurance
30
enterprise to evaluate credit deterioration in its insured financial obligations and (b) the insurance enterprises surveillance or watch list.
SFAS No. 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years, except for disclosures about the insurance enterprises risk-management activities. Disclosures about the insurance enterprises risk-management activities are effective the first period beginning after issuance of SFAS No. 163. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted.
On May 28, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS No. 165). Statement 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This SFAS requires, among other things, the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. An entity should apply the requirements under SFAS No. 165 to interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have material impact on its financial statements.
On June 9, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets- an amendment of FASB Statement No, 140” (“SFAS No.166”). SFAS No.166 revises the derecognization provision of SFAS No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities” and will require entities to provide more information about sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the seller retains some risk with respect to the assets. It also eliminates the concept of a "qualifying special-purpose entity." This statement is effective for financial asset transfers occurring after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have material impact on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 167 "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)." SFAS No.167 amends certain requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” to improve financial reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities and to provide additional disclosures about the involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. A reporting entity will be required to disclose how its involvement with a variable interest entity affects the reporting entity's financial statements. This Statement shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have material impact on its financial statements.
