CHINA VALVES TECHNOLOGY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Organization

China Valves Technology, Inc, formerly known as Intercontinental Resources, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada in August 1997, under the name Meximed Industries, Inc. In January 1999, the Company changed its name to Digital Video Display Technology Corporation and in July 2001 to Iconet, Inc. In the middle of 2003 the Company again changed its name to Anglotajik Minerals, Inc. The Company was considered to be in the exploration stage as its operations principally involved research and exploration, market analysis, and other business planning activities, and no revenue was generated from its business activities. The Company suspended its proposed activities in mineral exploration in the Republic of Tajikistan, thus the Company again changed its name to Intercontinental Resources, Inc in May of 2006.

On December 16, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and Share Exchange (the “Exchange Agreement”) with China Valve Holding Limited (“China Valve Samoa”), a company incorporated under the laws of Samoa, and the equity owner of China Valve Samoa.  The closing of the transaction took place on December 16, 2007 (the “Closing Date”) and resulted in the merger between the Company and China Valve Samoa (the “Merger”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock and ownership interests of China Valve Samoa (the “Interests”) from the China Valve Samoa shareholder for 40,000,000 shares, or 99.8% of the Company’s common stock.  In addition, China Valve Samoa agreed to pay cash of $490,000 (the “Purchase Price”). Because the acquisition is treated as a reverse acquisition, the financial statements of the Company have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the acquisition from the beginning of the reported period. The stock exchange transaction has been accounted as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization of the Company whereby China Valve Samoa is deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and the Company to be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). The historical financial statements for periods prior to December 16, 2007 are those of China Valve Samoa except that the equity section and earnings per share have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse acquisition.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, on December 18, 2007 the Company filed with the Secretary of State for the state of Nevada a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation changing its name to “China Valves Technology, Inc” to better reflect its business.  The Company through its subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) focuses primarily on the development, manufacture and sale of high-quality metal valves for electricity, petroleum, chemical, and water, gas and metal industries.

China Valve Samoa was incorporated on June 6, 2007 in Samoa. China Valve Samoa’s principle activity is investment.
 
Pursuant to a group reorganization, China Valve Samoa became the holding company of the group in September 2007 by acquiring 100% interest in China Valve Holdings Limited (incorporated in Hong Kong) ("CVHL") on September 28, 2007. CVHL established Henan Tonghai Valve Science Technology Co., Ltd. ("TVST"), a wholly-own subsidiary in the People's Republic of China, on September 5, 2007.

Pursuant to a restructuring plan to comply with the regulations of SAFE, the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary in China, TVST, entered into an agreement to purchase 100% of the equity of Kaifeng High Pressure and ZhengDie Valve from Siping Fang and the other individual owners of those companies. We will refer to the two purchased companies as the “PRC Companies.” The purchase price for these acquisitions was not paid because the Company did not have the funds to do so. Therefore, to avoid any potential claims against the Company in connection with the purchase, on April 1 and 3, 2008, the Company transferred 100% of the equity of the PRC Companies back to their original owners.

On April 10, 2008, because the Company no longer owned the PRC Companies, Siping Fang sold all of the Company’s common stock owned of record or beneficially by him to Bin Li, for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000, pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement.  In connection with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Siping Fang and Bin Li entered into an Earn-In Agreement pursuant to which Siping Fang obtained the right and option to re-acquire the shares of the Company from Bin Li, subject to the satisfaction of four conditions as set forth in the Earn-In Agreement. These conditions may be satisfied only if the Company is able to reacquire and operate the PRC Companies.

It is the intention of the Company to reacquire the PRC Companies. To that end, Li Bin has established a new Hong Kong company to serve as the 100% owner of a new PRC subsidiary, which we refer to as the “New WFOE.” The New WFOE will negotiate for and attempt to enter into agreements to purchase the PRC Companies. If the New WFOE is successful in doing so, Bin Li intends to transfer 100% of his Hong Kong company to us for an amount not to exceed $10,000 plus any purchase price already paid for the PRC Companies. As a result of these transactions, if they are consummated, the PRC Companies will once again be the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries.
 
The acquisitions of Henan Kai Feng Pressure Valve Co., Ltd. and Zhengzhou City Zhengdie Valve Co., Ltd. have been treated for accounting purposes as acquisitions under common control.  Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis for the years being presented.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP").  In the opinion of management, the accompanying balance sheets, and statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items.  All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Management has included all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to give a fair presentation of operating results for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-QSB should be read in conjunction with information included in the 2007 annual report filed on Form 10-KSB.

 USE OF ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104. Sales revenue is recognized when all of the following have occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured. These criteria are generally satisfied at the time of shipment when risk of loss and title passes to the customer.

The Company recognizes revenue when the goods are delivered and title has passed. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). All of the Company’s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 17% of the gross sales price or at a rate approved by the Chinese local government. This VAT may be offset by the VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing their finished product.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING

Shipping and handling costs related to costs of goods sold are included in selling, general and administrative costs which totaled $28,444 and $57,432 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

ADVERTISING

Advertisement costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $13,755 and $11,833 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The functional currency of its Chinese operating entities Henan Kai Feng Pressure Valve Co., Ltd. and Zhengzhou City Zhengdie Valve Co., Ltd is Renminbi (RMB).

For the subsidiaries whose functional currencies are other than the US dollar, all assets and liabilities accounts are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; stockholder's equity is translated at the historical rates and items in the income and cash flow statements amounts are translated at the average rate for the year. Because cash flows are calculated based using the average translation rate, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders’ equity. The resulting translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.
 
Accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity amounted to $4,761,307 and $3,173,745 as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were translated at 7.00 RMB and 7.20 RMB to $1.00 USD, respectively. The average translation rates applied to income and cash flow statement amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were 7.15 RMB and 7.75 RMB to $1.00, respectively.

PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
 
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset, ranging from five to ten years.
 
Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction as well as acquisition and design fees incurred. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until construction is completed and the asset is ready for its intended use.
 
INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets consist of goodwill, patents and software.  The Company records goodwill when the purchase price of net assets acquired exceeds their fair value. In accordance with SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill has an infinite life and therefore costs are not amortized but reviewed for impairment.  Patents and software are subject to amortization. Patents, which have a legal life of 10 years in the PRC, are being amortized over 5 years as management has determined that five years is the estimated useful life of the patents currently owned by the Company. Software is amortized over 10 years, its estimated useful life.
 
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
The Company periodically reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived assets for impairment. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is considered not recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flow.
 
INVENTORY
 
The Company values its inventory at the lower of cost or market, determined on a weighted average method, or net realizable value. The Company reviews its inventories periodically to determine if any reserves are necessary for potential obsolescence.  As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 the Company determined no reserves are necessary.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of material and equipment that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities, and have alternative future uses, either in research and development, marketing, or sales, are classified as property and equipment or depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

RETIREMENT BENEFIT COSTS
 
Amounts payable for the PRC state managed retirement benefit programs are expensed in the financial statements following the accrual basis of accounting.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS 109) that requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Since the Company had no operations within the United States there is no provision for US income taxes and there are no deferred tax amounts as of March 31, 2008.

The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit.  In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled.  Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no affect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
RELATED PARTIES
 
Parties are considered to be related to the company if the company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the party, or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where the company and the party are subject to common control or common significance.
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in banks and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition.
 
RESTRICTED CASH

The Company is required to have restricted cash in the bank as security for its exported products, the restriction is released after the customers have received and inspected the products. Restricted cash amounted to $42,584 and $40,856 as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

CONCENTRATIONS RISKS
 
The Company's operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC's economy. The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with state owned banks within the People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong. Total cash (including restricted cash balances) in these banks on March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 amounted to $1,178,977
 and $2,814,118, respectively, of which no deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.

Five major suppliers, which represented approximately 33% and 37% of the Company’s total purchases for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Five suppliers accounted for 19% and 21 % of total accounts payable as of March 31, 2008 and 2007 respectively.
  
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” on January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for receivables and payables qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.  The three levels are defined as follow:

Level 1   inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2   inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Level 3   inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

The Company invested in China Perfect Machinery Industry Co., Ltd. in 1996 and Kaifang Commercial Bank in 1997. Long term investment amounted to $744,190 and $714,485 as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.  There is no quoted or observable market price for the joint venture interest or other similar joint ventures, therefore, the Company used level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology. The determination of the fair value was based on the capital investment that the Company contributed.

The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with SFAS. No. 157.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

The Company’s business operations are conducted in the PRC by selling on various credit terms. Management reviews its accounts receivable on a quarterly basis to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. The Company’s existing reserve is consistent with its historical experience and considered adequate by the management.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
 
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock using the treasury method.

All per share data including earnings per share has been retroactively restated to reflect the merger on December 16, 2007 as if it had occurred at the beginning of 2006. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, basic and diluted earnings per share amount to $0.04 and $0.02, respectively.

LONG TERM INVESTMENT

The Company invested in China Perfect Machinery Industry Co., Ltd. in 1996 and Kaifang Commercial Bank in 1997. The Company does not have the ability to exercise control of the investee companies and the investment has been recorded under the cost method. Long term investment amounted to $744,190 and $ 714,485 as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Management believes there is no impairment as of March 31, 2008.

CUSTOMER DEPOSIT

Customer deposits represent amounts advanced by customers on product orders. The product normally is shipped within six months after receipt of the advance payment and the related sale is recognized in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, customer deposits amounted to $2,057,233 and $2,810,352, respectively.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective of FAS 159 is to provide opportunities to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply hedge accounting provisions. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. The Company chose not to elect the option to measure the fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities.

In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities” (“FSP EITF 07-3”), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed.  The Company adopted FSP EITF 07-3 and expensed the research and development as incurred.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinations, was issued. SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions.
 
 
11

Continued-
 
This replaces SFAS 141’s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages (sometimes referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS No. 141R will have on its financial statements.

Note 9 - Income taxes

The Company’s subsidiaries are governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and various local income tax laws (the Income Tax Laws).

Beginning January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law will replace the existing laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DEs”) and Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIEs”). The new standard EIT rate of 25% will replace the 33% rate currently applicable to both DEs and FIEs. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the new EIT will have on its financial condition.

Prior to 2008, under the Chinese Income Tax Laws, foreign investment enterprises (“FIEs”) generally are subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 33% (30% state income taxes plus 3% local income taxes) on income as reported in their statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments unless the enterprise is located in specially designated regions for which more favorable effective tax rates apply. Starting on January 1, 2008, China will unify the corporate income tax rule on foreign invested enterprises and domestic enterprises. The unified corporate income tax rate is 25%.

The Company’s subsidiary Henan Kai Feng Pressure Valve Co., Ltd is exempt from income tax due to Keifang city tax incentive for companies to privatize in 2007 and is subject to 25% starting 2008.

The Company’s other operating subsidiary Zhengzhou City Zhengdie Valve Co., Ltd is subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 25%

Note 10 – Statutory Reserves

The laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China require that before foreign invested enterprise can legally distribute profits, 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 the surplus reserve fund and the common welfare fund.

Statutory surplus reserve fund

The Company is required to transfer 10% of its net income, as determined in accordance with the PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the Company’s registered capital.

The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of any dividends to shareholders. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company transferred $188,407 and $63,060 to this reserve which represents 10% of the current year’s net income determined in accordance with PRC accounting rules and regulations. 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 shareholding 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% of the registered capital.

Note 13 – Related party transactions

The Company had the following significant related party transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2008:

The Company received advances from Mr. Fang Si Ping, CEO and major shareholder, for cash flow purposes. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 the outstanding amount due to Mr. Fang Si Ping was $ 2,301,874 and $2,848,032, respectively.

 Note 14 – Legal proceedings

Before the reverse acquisition on December 18, 2007, Intercontinental Resources Inc. (“Intercontinental Resources”) was sued by Merrill Lynch Canada, Inc., in British Columbia, Canada, in July 2000. Other than initial pleadings, the plaintiff did not proceed with the suit since it was filed. Intercontinental Recourses believes that the suit is without merit.  In connection with the reverse acquisition, Intercontinental Resources agreed to place $200,000 into escrow pending resolution of this suit.  If required, the portion of the purchase price for the reverse acquisition held in escrow will be used to settle this lawsuit.

Note 15 – Subsequent events

On April 1 and 3, 2008, the Company transferred 100% of the equity of its former operating subsidiaries, Kaifeng High Pressure and ZhengDie Valve, back to their original owners. The operating subsidiaries had been acquired from Siping Fang and the other individual owners thereof in connection with the Company’s restructuring plan. However, the purchase price for the acquisition of these entities had not been paid because the Company did not have the funds to do so.  The transfer back to the original owners was made to avoid any potential claims against the Company in connection with the purchase.  It is the intention of the Company to reacquire the operating subsidiaries.

On April 10, 2008, Siping Fang, the Chief Executive Officer and President sold 24,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by him, to Bin Li for $10,000 .   In connection with his acquisition of the Shares, Mr. Li issued to Mr. Fang a $10,000 note.  The note, which does not bear interest, sixty days after a written demand for payment is made by Mr. Fang to Mr. Li, provided that such demand is made on or after October 15, 2008. The sale represents a change of control of the Company and the Shares acquired by Mr. Li represents approximately 60.75% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company calculated on a fully-diluted basis. Prior to the acquisition, Mr. Li was not affiliated with the Company, however following the acquisition, Mr. Li will be deemed an affiliate of the Company as a result of his stock ownership interest in the Company.

On April 10, 2008, Mr. Fang and Mr. Li entered into an Earn-In Agreement whereby Mr. Fang obtained the right to re-acquire the shares from Mr. Li subject to the satisfaction of four conditions:  
·  
Mr. Fang will have the option to re-acquire 12,150,000 of the Shares, upon the later occurrence of either
o  
the date that is six months after April 10, 2008 or
o  
the date upon which Mr. Fang and the Company’s wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary Henan Tonghai Valves Science Technology Co., Ltd. (“Henan Tonghai”) enter into a binding employment agreement for a term of not less than five years for Mr. Fang to serve as Henan Tonghai’s chief executive officer and chairman of its board of directors;
·  
Mr. Fang will have the option to re-acquire 4,050,000 of the shares upon the declaration of effectiveness of a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;
·  
Mr. Fang will have the option to re-acquire 4,050,000 of the shares when Henan Tonghai and its subsidiaries achieve after-tax net income of not less than $3,000,000, as determined under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or the GAAP consistently applied for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008; and
·  
Mr. Fang will have the option to re-acquire 4,050,000 of the shares when Henan Tonghai achieves $7,232,500 in pre tax profits, as determined under the GAAP for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.

These conditions may be satisfied only if the Company is able to reacquire and operate the PRC Companies. In order to make such acquisitions,  Li Bin has established a new Hong Kong company to serve as the 100% owner of a new PRC subsidiary, which we refer to as the “New WFOE.” The New WFOE will negotiate for and attempt to enter into agreements to purchase the PRC Companies. If the New WFOE is successful in doing so, Bin Li intends to transfer 100% of his Hong Kong company to us for an amount not to exceed $10,000 plus any purchase price already paid for the PRC Companies. As a result of these transactions, if they are consummated, the PRC Companies will once again be the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Overview

During the first quarter of 2008, we focused primarily, through our direct and indirectly owned subsidiaries, on developing, manufacturing and selling high-quality metal valves for the electricity, petroleum, chemical, water, gas and metal industries in the PRC.

Our operations during the quarter were headquartered in Kaifeng, Henan Province, PRC, and we conducted our business throughout China. Our production facility in Kaifeng has an area of more than 74 acres. During the quarter, our two Chinese subsidiaries, Zhengzhou ZhengDie Valve Corporation, or ZhengDie Valve, and Kaifeng High Pressure Valve Corporation, or High Pressure Valve, focused primarily on the development, manufacture and sale of high-quality metal valves for the electricity, petroleum, chemical, water, gas and metallurgy industries in the PRC.

Our Company History and Recent Developments

We were originally incorporated on August 1, 1997 in the State of Nevada under the name Intercontinental Resources, Inc.  Our name has been changed several times over the years and our current name is China Valves Technology, Inc.  We had no active operations during the period from 2001 until December 18, 2007, at which time we completed a reverse acquisition transaction with China Valves in which we acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of China Valves from its stockholders in exchange for 40,000,000 shares of our common stock.

On September 20 and Septermber 25, 2007, the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary in China, Henan Tonghai, entered into an agreement to purchase 100% of the equity of Kaifeng High Pressure and ZhengDie Valve from Siping Fang and the other individual owners of those companies. We will refer to the two purchased companies as the “PRC Companies.” The purchase price for these acquisitions was not paid because the Company did not have the funds to do so. Therefore, to avoid any potential claims against us in connection with the purchase, on April 1 and 3, 2008, we transferred 100% of the equity of the PRC Companies back to their original owners.

On April 10, 2008, because the Company no longer owned the PRC Companies, Siping Fang sold all of the Company’s common stock owned of record or beneficially by him to Bin Li, for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000, pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement.  In connection with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Siping Fang and Bin Li entered into an Earn-In Agreement pursuant to which Siping Fang obtained the right and option to re-acquire the shares of the Company from Bin Li, subject to the satisfaction of four conditions as set forth in the Earn-In Agreement. These conditions may be satisfied only if the Company is able to reacquire and operate the PRC Companies.

It is the intention of the Company to reacquire the PRC Companies. To that end, Li Bin has established a new Hong Kong company to serve as the 100% owner of a new PRC subsidiary, which we refer to as the “New WFOE.” The New WFOE will negotiate for and attempt to enter into agreements to purchase the PRC Companies. If the New WFOE is successful in doing so, Bin Li intends to transfer 100% of his Hong Kong company to us for an amount not to exceed $10,000 plus any purchase price already paid for the PRC Companies. As a result of these transactions, if they are consummated, the PRC Companies will once again be our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The description of our business, industry trends, competition results of operations and liquidity and capital resources below relates to the business we conducted during the first quarter of 2008 and the business we intend to continue to conduct following reacquisition of the PRC Companies.  We can provide no assurances, however, of the timeframe for any reacquisition of the PRC Companies or that we will be able to reacquire the PRC Companies in a on terms favorable to the Company, if at all.

Our Business

Through the PRC Companies and certain commercial and contractual relationships and arrangements with other Chinese companies, we operate companies in China that develop, manufacture and distribute valves for a variety of different industries, including electrical petroleum, chemical, water, gas and metal industries.  We are a leader in valve sales for the thermal power and water supply industries, according to the Chairman of China Valve Industry Association, an industry trade association.  We produce over 700 models of valves and service numerous industries, including the thermal power, water supply, sewage disposal, oil and chemical, metallurgy, heat power, and nuclear power industries.

Industry Wide Trends that are Relevant to Our Business

China is currently experiencing growth in urbanization and heavy industrialization.  The Company believes that increased demand for energy and water treatment in urban centers will increase demand for valve products. According to the China Valve Industry Association’s research, sales of valve products in the Chinese domestic market in 2006 reached $5.36 billion, an increase 32% from the previous year, and the Chinese market is expected to increase at an annual rate of more than 30% for the next 5 years.

According to the China Valve Industry Association’s research, the valve market is divided into five primary segments: (i) power; (ii) petrochemical; (iii) oil; (iv) water supply; and (v) metallurgy, which account for approximately 21, 12, 24.5, 14 and 8 of market share, respectively.  All other valve products account for the remaining 18.5%.

Competition

China is experiencing tremendous growth in its economy, especially in urbanization and industrialization.  We are a leading valve producer in China and are involved in developing, manufacturing and selling valves for varied industries, including the thermal power industry, sewage disposal, oil and chemical industry, metallurgy, hot power industry and nuclear power industry.  We compete with approximately 4,000 valve manufacturers in China and listed below are our major competitors:
 
·
Hong Cheng Machinery Co., Ltd – a manufacturer of medium pressure big diameter butterfly valves for the water supply industry;
 
·
Sufa Technology Industry, Co., Ltd – a manufacturer of nuclear power industry used valves; and
 
·
Guangdong Mingzhu Group Co., Ltd – a manufacturer of small diameter ball valves.

There are, however, certain factors that we believe set us apart from all of our competitors.  We are a top producer of many types of valves and have positioned ourselves as the leading valve producer in China enabling us to offer a more comprehensive product line to our customers.  In addition, the following factors will help China Valve continue to set itself apart from its competitors:
 
·
We are the first manufacturer of main stream gate valves for 300MW and main water supply gate valves for 600MW power stations in China;
 
·
We are the sole designer and manufacturer in China of valves that are used for ultra supercritical units of 1,000MW power stations;
 
·
We are the first manufacturer of high pressure large diameter oil pipeline valves in China;
 
·
We were the first domestic manufacturer of 2,500 pound high pressure gate valves for hydrogenation in chemical lines, which substitutes for imported products;
 
·
We were the first domestic manufacturer of high pressure large diameter gate valves for the coal chemical industry; and
 
·
We are the sole manufacturer in China that produces all of the following: blowtorch valves, water pressure testing valves, steam controlling valves for high parameter power stations and bypass valves for high pressure heaters.

Net Revenues
Our net revenues represent the invoiced value of our products sold, net of value added taxes, or VAT, sales returns, trade discounts and allowances. We are subject to VAT, which is levied on most of our products at the rate of 17% on the invoiced value of our products. Provision for sales returns are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period that revenue is recognized. The provision for sales returns represents our best estimate of the amount of goods that will be returned from our customers based on historical sales returns data.

Sales Revenue
Our sales revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 amounted to $12.9 million, which is approximately $5.8 million or 81% more than that of the same period ended on March 31, 2007, where we had revenue of $7.2 million.  The increase in sales revenue is primarily attributed to the expansion of our customer base as we had a 53% increase in quantities sold during the quarter as compared to the same quarter in the previous year.  Our revenues were also enhanced by an 18% increase in our sales  prices.

Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold, which consist of raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead expenses, was $7.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $3.1 million, or 66%, as compared to $4.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2007.  We believe the increase is generally in line with the increase of our sales revenue. The proportions of cost of sales to total revenues are 61% and 66% for the three month periods ended on March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, a decrease of approximately 5%.  This was primarily a result of economies of production scale and more efficient cost controls.

Selling expenses
Selling expenses, which consist primarily of sales commissions, advertising and promotion expenses, freight charges and related compensation, were $1.0 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $0.58 million for the same period ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $0.42 million or approximately 73%.  The increase is consistent with the increase in sales.

Operating and administrative expenses
Our general and administrative expenses, which consist primarily of rental expenses, salaries, business development, depreciation traveling expenses, legal and professional expenses, were $1.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $0.94 million for the same period ended March 31, 2007, a increase of $0.64 million, or approximately 67%.  The increase was mainly attributable to the company’s execution of an early retirement program, the cost of which was approximately $175,000, and increasing professional fees after the reverse acquisition.

Income From Operations
Income from operations was $2.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $0.9 million for the same period ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $1.6 million or approximately 176%.  The increase was mainly attributable to the increase in sales and gross margin.

Income taxes
Our Chinese subsidiaries are taxed at a rate of 25% and 33% of assessable profit, respectively in the three month period ended on March 31, 2008 and 2007.  We incurred income taxes of $661 thousand for the three month period ended on March 31, 2008.  This is an increase of $510 thousand or 338% from the taxes we incurred in the same 2007 period, which were $151 thousand.  We paid more taxes in the three months ended March 31, 2008 mostly because of the higher assessable income in the three month period ended on March 31, 2008 compared to 2007.

Net Income
We earned net income of $1.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2008.  This is an increase of $1.1 million or approximately 180% from the same period ended March 31, 2007, during which we had a net income of $0.63 million.  This increase is mainly attributable to the increase of our sales revenue and increase in gross margin

Foreign Currency Translation Gains

We had a foreign currency translation gain of $1.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 as compared with $39 thousand currency translation gain in the same period ended March 31, 2007. In July 21, 2005, China reformed its foreign currency exchange policy, revalued the Renminbi by 2.1 percent and allowed Renminbi to appreciate as much as 0.3 percent per day against the U.S. dollar.  As a result, we implemented different exchange rates in translating Renminbi into U.S. dollar in our financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2008, the exchange rates of RMB1: $0.1428and RMB1: $0.1398 were implemented in calculating the total assets/liabilities and statement of income, while for the three month period ended March 31, 2007, the exchange rates of RMB1: $0.1295and RMB1: $0.1290 were implemented.

Other than the contractual obligations and commercial commitments set forth above, we did not have any other long-term debt obligations, operating lease obligations, capital commitments, purchase obligations or other long-term liabilities as of March 31, 2008.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily with respect to our short-term bank loans.  Although the interest rates are fixed for the terms of the loans, the terms are typically twelve months and interest rates are subject to change upon renewal.  Since December 21 2007, China People’s Bank has increased the interest rate of RMB bank loans with a term of 6 months or less by 0.99%, and loans with a term of 6 to 12 months by 1.35%.  The new interest rates are 6.57% and 7.47% for RMB bank loans with a term 6 months or less and loans with a term of 6-12 months, respectively.  A hypothetical 1.0% increase in the annual interest rates for all of our credit facilities at March 31, 2008 would decrease net income before provision for income taxes by approximately $0.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2008.  Management monitors the banks’ interest rates in conjunction with our cash requirements to determine the appropriate level of debt balances relative to other sources of funds.  We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to interest rate risk.

Foreign Exchange Risk

While our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar, all of our consolidated revenues and consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in Renminbi.  All of our assets are denominated in RMB except for cash which is in RMB and Hong Kong Dollar.  As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. Dollars and RMB.  If the RMB depreciates against the U.S. Dollar, the value of our RMB revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. Dollar financial statements will decline.  We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.

Critical Accounting Policies

        Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, (2) the disclosure of our contingent assets and liabilities at the end of each fiscal period and (3) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each fiscal period. We continually evaluate these estimates based on our own historical experience, knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions, our expectations regarding the future based on available information and reasonable assumptions, which together form our basis for making judgments about matters that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, our actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application.

When reviewing our financial statements, the following should also be considered: (1) our selection of critical accounting policies, (2) the judgment and other uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, and (3) the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions. We believe the following accounting policies involve the most significant judgment and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

           The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104. Sales revenue is recognized when all of the following have occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured. These criteria are generally satisfied at the time of shipment when risk of loss and title passes to the customer.

The Company recognizes revenue when the goods are delivered and title has passed. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). All of the Company’s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 17% of the gross sales price or at a rate approved by the Chinese local government. This VAT may be offset by the VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing their finished product.
 
Accounts Receivable And Allowance For Doubtful Accounts

The Company’s business operations are conducted in the PRC by selling on various credit terms. Management reviews its accounts receivable on a quarterly basis to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. The Company’s existing reserve is consistent with its historical experience and considered adequate by the management.

Changes in Accounting Standards

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective of FAS 159 is to provide opportunities to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply hedge accounting provisions. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. The Company chose not to elect the option to measure the fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities.

In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities” (“FSP EITF 07-3”), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed.  The Company adopted FSP EITF 07-3 and expensed the research and development as incurred.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 160 will have on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised) “Business Combinations.” SFAS 141 (Revised) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 141 (Revised) will have on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

Exchange Rates

The financial records of Henan Tonghai, Kaifeng High Pressure Valves and Zheng Die Valves are maintained in RMB. In order to prepare our financial statements, we have translated amounts in RMB into amounts in U.S. dollars. The amounts of our assets and liabilities on our balance sheets are translated using the closing exchange rate as of the date of the balance sheet. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the period covered by such financial statements. Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in our cumulative other comprehensive income (loss) in our stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheet. All other amounts that were originally booked in RMB and translated into U.S. dollars were translated using the closing exchange rate on the date of recognition. Consequently, the exchange rates at which the amounts in those comparisons were computed varied from year to year.

 
The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into U.S. dollars in connection with the preparation of our financial statements were as follows:

   
RMB per U.S. Dollar
 
   
2008
 
2007
 
Balance sheet items as of March 31
   
0.1428
   
0.1295
 
  Amounts included in the statement of income and comprehensive income, statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31
   
0.1398
   
0.1290
 
 
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2008.

Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.
 
Management conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that because of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2007.  
 
Management has identified significant deficiencies related to the following:

1.  
Accounting and Finance Personnel Weaknesses  Lack of US GAAP expertise.  Our current accounting staff is relatively new and inexperienced, and need substantial training to meet with the higher demands of being a U.S. public company. The accounting skills and understanding necessary to fulfill the requirements of U.S. GAAP-based reporting, including the skills of subsidiary financial statements consolidation, are inadequate and were inadequately supervised. The lack of sufficient and adequately trained accounting and finance personnel resulted in an ineffective segregation of duties relative to key financial reporting functions.
 
 
 
27

 
 
2.  
Lack of Internal Audit System  We lack an internal audit department, which renders ineffective our ability to prevent and detect control lapses and errors in the accounting of certain key areas like revenue recognition, purchase approvals, inter-company transactions, cash receipt and cash disbursement authorizations, inventory safeguard and proper accumulation for cost of products, in accordance with our appropriate costing method.  Finally, management determined that the lack of an Audit Committee of the board of directors of the Company also contributes to insufficient oversight of our accounting and audit functions.
 
In order to correct the foregoing deficiencies, we will be taking the following remediation measures:
 
1. Hire, as needed, additional accounting and operations personnel and outside contractors with technical accounting expertise and  reorganized the accounting and finance department to ensure that accounting personnel with adequate experience, skills and knowledge relating to complex, non-routine transactions are directly involved in the review and accounting evaluation of our complex, non-routine transactions.
 
2.  Involve, as needed, both internal accounting and operations personnel and outside contractors with technical accounting expertise early in the evaluation of our complex, non-routine transaction to obtain additional guidance as to the application of generally accepted accounting principles to such a proposed transaction.
 
3.  Require that our senior accounting personnel and the principal accounting officer review our complex, non-routine transactions to evaluate and approve the accounting treatment for such transactions.
 
4.  Interview prospective persons for appointment to our Board, including a person who is appropriately credentialed as a financial expert with a goal to establish an Audit and Compensation committee as well as ensure that we have sufficient independent directors.
 
5. Evaluate our internal audit function in relation to our financial resources and requirements.
 
We believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the significant deficiencies identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes as our management deems appropriate in order to insure that our internal controls over financial reporting are working effectively and are in compliance with Section 404.

A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 2) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company's financial reporting.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the remediation measures described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting after March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

Before the reverse acquisition on December 18, 2007, Intercontinental was sued by Merrill Lynch Canada, Inc., in British Columbia, Canada, in July 2000. Other than initial pleadings, the plaintiff has not proceeded with the suit since it was filed. Intercontinental believes that the suit is without merit.  In connection with the reverse acquisition, Intercontinental agreed to place a portion of the purchase price into escrow pending resolution of this suit.  If required, the portion of the purchase price for the reverse acquisition held in escrow will be used to settle this lawsuit.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

Other than the additional risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A Risk Factors of Part 1included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Our operating subsidiaries were transferred to their original owners on April 1 and 3, 2008.  We will have to reacquire our operating subsidiaries in order to effectuate our business plan and conduct our planned business.  If we are unable to reacquire our operating subsidiaries,  we will have no material business operations or ability to generate revenues.

Prior to our reverse acquisition transaction with China Valves in which we acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of China Valves from its stockholders in exchange for 40,000,000 shares of our common stock, China Valves indirect wholly-owned subsidiary in China, Henan Tonghai, entered into an agreement to purchase 100% of the equity of our former operating subsidiaries Kaifeng High Pressure and ZhengDie Valve from Siping Fang and the other individual owners of those companies.  The purchase price for these acquisitions was not paid because the Company did not have the funds to do so.  Therefore, to avoid any potential claims against us in connection with the purchase, on April 1 and 3, 2008, we transferred 100% of the equity of the PRC Companies back to their original owners.  It is the intention of the Company to reacquire the operating subsidiaries.  To that end, the majority shareholder of the Company, Li Bin, has established a new Hong Kong company to serve as the 100% owner of a new PRC subsidiary, which we refer to as the “New WFOE.” The New WFOE will negotiate for and attempt to enter into agreements to purchase the operating subsidiaries. If the New WFOE is successful in doing so, Bin Li intends to transfer 100% of his Hong Kong company to us for an amount not to exceed $10,000 plus any purchase price already paid for the operating subsidiaries. As a result of these transactions, if they are consummated, the operating subsidiaries will once again be our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries.  We can provide no assurances, however, of the timeframe for any reacquisition of the operating subsidiaries or that we will be able to reacquire the operating subsidiaries in a on terms favorable to the Company, if at all.  Unless and until we are able to reacquire the operating subsidiaries, the Company will have no material business operations or ability to generate revenues and it will remain essentially a shell company.

Item 2.                      Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On April 10, 2008, Siping Fang, the Chief Executive Officer and President of China Valves sold 24,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) beneficially owned by him to Bin Li for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000 pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 10, 2008 (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”).   In connection with his acquisition of the Shares, Mr. Li issued to Mr. Fang a $10,000 principal amount promissory note for the payment of the purchase price for the Shares.  The promissory note, which does not bear interest, will become due and payable sixty days after a written demand for payment is made by Mr. Fang to Mr. Li, provided that such demand is made on or after October 15, 2008.  The sale represents a change of control of the Company and the Shares acquired by Mr. Li represents approximately 60.75% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company calculated on a fully-diluted basis.

On April 10, 2008, Mr. Fang and Mr. Li entered into an Earn-In Agreement (the “Earn-In Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Fang obtained the right and option to re-acquire the Shares from Mr. Li subject to the satisfaction of four conditions as set forth in the Earn-In Agreement:  (A) Mr. Fang will have the option to re-acquire 12,150,000 of the Shares, upon the later occurrence of either (i) the date that is six months after April 10, 2008 or (ii) the date upon which Mr. Fang and Henan Tonghai enter into a binding employment agreement for a term of not less than five years for Mr. Fang to serve as Henan Tonghai’s chief executive officer and chairman of its board of directors; (B) Mr. Fang will have the option to re-acquire 4,050,000 of the Shares upon the declaration of effectiveness of a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; (C) Mr. Fang will have the option to re-acquire 4,050,000 of the Shares when Henan Tonghai and its subsidiaries achieve after-tax net income of not less than $3,000,000, as determined under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or the GAAP consistently applied for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008; and (D) Mr. Fang will have the option to re-acquire 4,050,000 of the Shares when Henan Tonghai achieves not less than $7,232,500 in pre tax profits, as determined under the GAAP for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.  The call price of the options shall be, as applicable, either (i) the par value of ($0.001 per share) of the Shares, (ii) or, with regard to condition (D) above, the sum of the par value of the Company’s common stock multiplied by the number of  Shares for which a call right is being exercised plus US$75,700 as payment due to Mr. Li for financial advisory an other services provided to the Company.
