On September 27, 2009, the board of directors of the Company approved a share purchase resolution. Pursuant to a letter of intent dated September 27, 2009, the Company shall purchase at least 51% of Tai Ao. The consideration for such purchase will be settled first with the note receivable from Xinyang of $83,601,327, and the remainder in cash. If the Company successfully negotiates with Tai Ao’s shareholders, the consideration will be determined in accordance with the audited net assets of Tai Ao at the purchase date. If the Company consummates such transaction, the transaction is expected to be accounted for as an acquisition of a company under common control.
The collectibility of the notes receivables from related parties to a large extent depends on completion of the share purchase resolution as mentioned below.
The Chinese government now requires foreign acquirers of assets based in China to use all cash in the acquisition. A share-based acquisition has to be approved by the Reform and Development Commission of the central government. The success of getting approval from the Reform and Development Commission is uncertain. The Company has to arrange for a large amount of cross-border capital, which can be time consuming and technically difficult due to the foreign exchange control in China.
In addition, the Chinese government recently imposed a new national security review on future foreign acquisitions of certain types of businesses and assets that are of the strategic and national security interest of China, including infrastructure projects. Since this regulatory requirement just became effective, it is uncertain how the government will view this transaction and what steps will be taken.
The Company is actively pursuing the acquisition. However, whether the application will be approved is still unclear as of March 31, 2011 due to the above mentioned reasons. Thus, there is uncertainty as to the collectibilty of the notes receivables from related parties. At this time, the Company estimates that there is no need for a reserve against the amounts due from related parties. If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining approval for the acquisition of Tai Ao, this reserve estimate could change significantly. The management of the Company plans to resolve the related party transaction as of June 30, 2011, either effectuating the acquisition or settling the related party receivables.
