Report of Independent Auditors

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company Limited:

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company Limited (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of operations, of cash flows and of shareholders’ equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company Limited at December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

DONGFENG CUMMINS ENGINE COMPANY LIMITED

 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.                                    Organization and principal activities

 

Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company Limited (the “Company”) is a sino-foreign equity joint venture amongst Cummins Engine Company, Inc. (“Cummins USA”), Cummins (China) Investment Co., Ltd. (“CCI”) and Dongfeng Automobile Co., Ltd. (“Dongfeng Auto”) established under the relevant laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).

 

The Company, established on May 14, 1996, is engaged in the manufacture and sale of diesel engines, related parts and the provision of after-sale services.

 

On February 22, 2003, Cummins USA, CCI and Dongfeng Auto reached an agreement (“the Agreement”) to increase the Company’s paid-in capital. According to the Agreement, Dongfeng Auto increased its interest in the Company by contributing certain fixed assets and construction in progress of its Diesel Engine Branch, while Cummins USA increased its interest in the Company by contributing cash and certain fixed assets and construction in progress of its subsidiary, Cummins (Xiangfan) Machining Co., Ltd. Subsequent to the capital increase, Cummins USA, CCI and Dongfeng Auto each holds 40%, 10% and 50%, respectively, of the paid-in capital of the Company.

 

The Company has a term of 35 years from the date of establishment and may be extended subject to the unanimous approval of the Board of Directors and the approval of the relevant PRC authorities.

 

2.                                    Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

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

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management 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 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 recognizes revenues on the sale of products, net of estimated costs of returns, allowances and sales incentives, when it is realized or realizable, which generally occurs when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been shipped and legal title and all risks of ownership have been transferred, customer acceptance has occurred and payment is reasonably assured.

 

8



 

Foreign currency translation

 

The Company’s financial records are maintained in Renminbi (“RMB”), the functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Renminbi at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into Renminbi at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising in these cases are recorded in the Statement of Operations.

 

Income tax accounting

 

The Company determines the deferred tax provision using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company also recognizes future tax benefits associated with tax loss and credit carry forwards as deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent there is uncertainty as to their ultimate realization. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be settled or recovered.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase. The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these investments.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventory cost calculated on the weighted average basis comprises materials, direct labor and the manufacturing overhead expenditures. Inventory reserves include provisions for obsolete and excess inventory based on management’s forecasts of demand over specific future time horizons and reserves to value our inventory at the lower of cost or market which rely on forecasts of average selling prices (ASPs) in future periods.

 

Restricted bank deposit

 

The restricted bank deposit represents the pledge for letter of credit. Reclassification has been made to prior year balance of Rmb 455,814 from cash and cash equivalents to restricted bank deposit in order to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Investments in joint ventures

 

The equity method is used to account for the Company’s investments in joint ventures in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, generally represented by common stock ownership or partnership equity of at least 20 percent but not more than 50 percent. Generally, under the equity method, original investments in these entities are recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted by the Company’s share of equity in earnings or losses after the date of acquisition.

 

9



 

Investment amounts in excess of the Company’s share of an investee’s assets are amortized over the life of the related asset creating the excess. If the excess is goodwill, then it is not amortized. Equity in earnings or losses of each investee is recorded according to the Company’s level of ownership; if losses accumulate, the Company records its share of losses until the investment has been fully depleted. When the investment has been fully depleted, the Company recognizes additional losses only when the Company is the primary funding source.

 

The Company eliminates (to the extent of its ownership percentage) the profit in inventory held by its equity method investees that has not yet been sold to a third party. The Company’s investments are classified as “Investments in and advances to equity investees” in the Balance Sheets. The Company’s shares of the result from joint ventures are reported in the Statements of Operations as “Equity on income (loss) from investees”.

 

Property, plant and equipment, net

 

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at costs. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, taking into account their residual value which is estimated at 10% of cost. The applicable useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

 

 

 

Years

 

 

 

 

 

Buildings

 

20

 

Production machinery

 

10

 

Vehicles

 

5

 

Office equipment

 

5

 

 

Major additions and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives and repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to the Statement of Operations in the period incurred.

 

Upon retirement or other disposal of fixed assets, the costs and related amounts of accumulated depreciation are reversed from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts, respectively. The difference, if any, between the net asset value and the proceeds is adjusted to earnings.

 

Construction in progress represents capital assets under construction or being installed and is stated at cost. Cost comprises original cost of plant and equipment, installation, construction and other direct costs which include interest costs on specific borrowings used to finance the capital assets, prior to the date of reaching the expected usable condition. Construction in progress is transferred to the property, plant and equipment account and depreciation commences when the asset has been substantially completed and reaches the expected usable condition.

 

No interest cost was capitalized in 2005 (2004: nil).

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management’s judgment, that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company asseses the recoverability of the carrying value of the long-lived assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. An impairment of a long-lived asset or asset group exists when the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) estimated to be generated by the asset or asset group is less than its carrying value. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset or asset group, an impairment loss is measured based on the difference between the estimated fair value and carrying value of the asset or asset group. Assumptions and estimates used to estimate cash flows in the evaluation of impairment and the fair values used to determine the impairment are subject to a degree of judgment and complexity. Any changes to the assumptions and estimates resulting from changes in actual results or market conditions from those anticipated may affect the carrying value of long-lived assets and could result in an impairment charge.

 

Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are subject to amortization. Intangible assets are presented at cost and are amortized on the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The applicable useful lives are as follows:

 

 

 

Years

 

 

 

 

 

Land occupancy rights

 

35

 

Proprietary technology

 

7

 

Software

 

5

 

 

Operating leases

 

Payments made under operating leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease periods of the leases.

 

Product coverage

 

The Company charges the estimated costs of product coverage programs, other than product recalls, to earnings at the time products are shipped to customers. The Company uses historical experience of product coverage programs to estimate the remaining liability for various product coverage programs. As a result of the uncertainty surrounding the nature of product recall programs, the liability for such programs is recorded when the recall action is announced. The liability for these programs is reviewed and assessed on a quarterly basis.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical collection experience and by performing an analysis of the accounts receivable in light of the current economic environment. The Company reviews allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis. In addition, when necessary, the Company provides an allowance for the full amount of specific accounts deemed to be uncollectible. Account balances are charged off against the allowance in the period in which the Company determines that it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The activities in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were as follows:

In 2005, according to Xiang Guo Shui Han [2005] No. 23, the Company is entitled to a government grant of RMB7,266,564 arising from the purchase of equipment manufactured domestically. The government grant is accounted for as deferred income and amortized over the estimated useful life of the related equipment acquired. In 2005, RMB385,835 of the deferred income (2004: nil) was amortized and credited to cost of sales.

 

15.                             Taxation

 

(a)                                Income taxes

 

The statutory income tax rate in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) is 33%.  However, since the Company is located in a national high-tech development zone and is qualified as a high-tech enterprise, the applicable enterprise income tax rate is 15% and the local tax rate is 3%, resulting in an aggregate tax rate of 18%, and as approved by the PRC tax authorities, the Company is not subject to local income tax. In addition, in accordance with the PRC Law of Enterprise Income Tax for Enterprises with Foreign investment and Foreign Enterprises, the Company is subject to a two-year exemption from enterprise income taxes followed by a three-year of a 50% tax reduction, commencing from the first cumulative profit-making year net of losses carried forward from the previous 5 years. Further, in accordance with relevant tax regulations, any new capital injection into the Company is subject to separate preferential income tax policy.

 

The Company increased its capital in 2003 (Note 1) and the newly injected capital in 2003 represented 50% of the total paid-in capital of the Company, (capital injected prior to 2003 is referred to as the “First Injection”, and capital injected post 2002 is referred to as the “Second Injection”). Pursuant to Xiang Guo Shui Zi Fa [2004] No.14 issued by the local tax authority, profit generated from the Second Injection is subject to a two-year exemption from enterprise income taxes followed by a three-year of a 50% enterprise income tax reduction commencing from the first cumulative profit-making year. Further, according to the relevant approval, the taxable profit of the Company arising from the First Injection and the Second Injection can be estimated based on the ratio of the capital injected during these two periods.

 

The first profit-making year of the First Injection and Second Injection was 2002 and 2003, respectively. In this connection, the Company is entitled to 50% reduction of enterprise income tax in 2005. As approved by the tax authorities, the enterprise income tax rate for the Company in 2005 is 10%.

 

Tax adjustment items are applied to revenue less cost and expenses, as well as gains and losses to arrive at taxable income. For the year ended December 31, 2005, significant components of adjustments from total accounting profit to taxable income included provision for bad debt, inventory provision and provision for product warranty, which are not tax deductible in the current year.

Note:

 

(a)               In 2004, the Company had reported and paid enterprise income tax for profit generated from the First Injection at an income tax rate of 15%.  Since 2004 was the third cumulative profit-making year for the First Injection, as approved by the local tax authorities in September 2005, the enterprise income tax rate for this portion of profit in 2004 should be 10%.  As such, the Company credited the over-paid enterprise income tax of RMB25,238,109 from the income tax expense in 2005.

 

(b)                                Value added tax

 

The Company’s sales of self-manufactured products are subject to value added tax (VAT). The applicable tax rate for domestic sales is 17%.

 

Input VAT on purchases of raw materials, fuel, utilities, merchandise and transportation can be deducted from output VAT. VAT payable is the net difference between output and deductible input VAT.

26.                             Concentration of credit risk

 

Sales to the Company’s largest customers, Dongfeng Motor and its subsidiaries, represented 66% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2005 (2004: 83%; 2003: 89%). Amounts due from Dongfeng Motor and its subsidiaries represented 78% of the total trade receivables  (including third party receivable and amounts due from related parties) as of December 31, 2005 (2004: 90%).

 

27.                             Risk and uncertainties

 

The Chinese market in which the Company operates poses certain macro-economic and regulatory risks and uncertainties.  Though the PRC has implemented a wide range of market-oriented economic reforms since 1978, continued reforms and progress towards a full market-oriented economy are uncertain and are likely to be readjusted and refined on an ongoing basis.  This refinement and readjustment process, along with changes in government policies and regulations, may not always have a positive effect on the operations of the Company.  In addition, the automotive industry has been designated as a pillar industry by the PRC government and as a result remains highly regulated. With China’s accession to the World Trade Organization, the industry will eventually be more accessible to foreign invested enterprises. The PRC legal system has also seen marked changes since 1978; however, current enforcement of existing laws may be uncertain and sporadic, and implementation and interpretation there of may be inconsistent, resulting in a higher than usual degree of uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation or legal process.

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable.  As of December 31, 2005, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held in financial institutions located in the PRC.  Trade receivables are typically unsecured, denominated in Renminbi, and are derived from revenues earned from customers primarily located in the PRC.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and, if necessary, maintains reserves for potential credit losses.  Historically, such losses have been within management’s expectations.
