Main Terms of Payment:

PURCHASING TERRITORY & STATUS QUO
The commodities purchased by Subject can be divided into two parts, which are production
equipment and raw materials. The production machines and equipment are mainly imported from
Italy, Japan and Taiwan, etc. The raw materials needed in Subject’s production are mainly sourced
domestically, especially in Guangdong Province, which accounts for over 60% of its purchasing
volume. The raw materials and auxiliary materials sourced overseas are usually imported from
abroad and the import areas are reportedly concentrated in Japan and USA, which account for over
80% of its import volume.
Subject usually has several suppliers to choose from in purchasing every kind of raw material so
that the raw materials can be supplied any time when need arises and its normal production can
thus be well secured. Additionally, Subject only keeps a modest quantity of raw materials in stock in
order to reduce business risks, and therefore its purchasing frequency is quite high. For example,
Subject generally purchases every kind of raw material twice or three times per month.

SALES CHANNEL & MARKET DISTRIBUTION
According to Miss WANG of Subject, its products are sold both domestically and abroad while direct
sales are usually used for the domestic market, which accounts for around 80% of the total. Among
the domestic markets, Guangzhou, Foshan, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Chongqing, Wuhan, Xi’an, and
Shanghai are the top eight in terms of sales volume. Accordingly, Subject has set up production
bases, sales companies, or business offices one by one in these regions to facilitate business
development therein.
The products exported directly by Subject are only a few, but the quantity exported indirectly is quite
big. Presently, the USA, which accounts for over 40% of Subject’s export volume, heads the list of
Subject’s overseas markets both by direct and indirect exports. Japan follows in second place by
contributing around 20% of Subject’s export volume.
OTHER SALES INFORMATION
Subject advised that the company has constantly expanded its business scale in recent years
through the acquisition of other firms. For instance, Subject purchased Guangzhou AOLIS Oil
SAMPLE Co., Ltd. in 2003. The M&A of other businesses have considerably enhanced Subject’s
production and sales capacities, and Subject’s annual sales value has reached RMB100 million.
Unsatisfied with the achieved results however, Subject still takes proactive measures in enlarging
its production scale and is now negotiating with a Guangzhou-based company regarding the details
of a forthcoming acquisition. The two sides are expected to reach an agreement at the beginning of
2011 if everything goes smoothly, and then Subject’s annual sales value will witness an increase of
RMB50 million. According to Miss WANG, Subject’s goal for 2012 is to achieve a sales value of
RMB500 million (which is a leapfrog development plan for Subject) when the number of Subject’s
employees will near 2000. Subject’s sales goal for 2015 is RMB750 million, but we hold a

of 2002 and after that its purchases occurred every month, usually
twice or thee times, and its monthly purchasing value was quite big,
which remained between RMB700,000 and RMB800,000. Subject,
as a large-sized client of the said company and boasting
considerable assets scale, was extended a credit period of 60 days
and a credit limit between RMB1.5 million and RMB1.6 million.
Subject’s payment performance however had been disappointing in
recent years with large amounts unpaid invoices and the payment
period was usually delayed to 120 days, or even 150 days at
maximum, which caused stress on its capital turnover. The said

NOTES TO FINANCES
Please note that owing to the imperfect information sources in China, some entries in Subject's
financial statement might be missing, which will lead to the inequality between the sums of the listed
entries and the totals written in the financial statement.
We asked Subject about its big increase in Long Term investment at 2009 yearend, but the relevant
staff member refused to disclose any information on this matter. It is reported that in 2007 Subject
SAMPLE
Subject:
SAMPLE
GUANGZHOU STAR SAMPLE INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.
acquired Guangzhou AOLIS Oil SAMPLE Co., Ltd. whose registered capital is RMB50 million, of
which Subject subscribed a portion of RMB37.5 million. Our assumption is that this acquisition had
not been recorded to its 2007 and 2008 statements and the adjustment was made in 2009 instead.
Our assumption however has not been confirmed by Subject’s relevant staff member.
Subject made capital increase in 2008, which resulted in the sharp growth of its shareholders’
equity at this yearend. The reason why Subject’s shareholders’ equity increased considerably at
2009 yearend against 2008 yearend was that its unappropriated profit increased dramatically in
2009, but Subject’s staff member refused to provide any explanation to the sharply growing
unapprorpaited profit. Our assumption is that Subject modified this entry when adjusting its Long
Term investment, but this assumption has also not been confirmed by Subject’s relevant staff
member.

ANALYSIS OF INDUSTRIAL COMPARISON
As indicated by profitability indexes, Subject’s net profit margin, with certain fluctuations over years,
dropped somewhat in 2008 and scaled up in 2009 through effective control over general
administrations expenses. But Subject’s return on net assets and return on total assets both
declined all the time, and furthermore Subject’s profit-making performance was considered at a low
level when compared with the industry average.
As indicated by assets structure and solvency indexes, Subject’s turnover of total assets and
turnover of current assets both decreased significantly in 2009 against 2008, showing its inflexible
capital turnover. Subject’s liabilities/assets ratio has dropped year after year and now its
liabilities/assets ratio is kept at a quite safe level. The sharply growing Short Term loan and other
payables of Subject in 2009 increased the total current liabilities of the company, which led to low
current and quick ratios at 2009 yearend and thus undermined its short-term solvency.
As indicated by the income statement, Subject’s principal operating income has been climbing up in
the past two years, but the growth rate slacked somewhat in 2009. Subject’s gross profit however
remained constant on the whole with little change in recent years, which suggested that Subject’s
operating costs also increased considerably. But Subject’s net profit went up finally in 2009 through
its effective control over general administrations expenses, which proved the tolerably strong
profitability of the company.
Analysis of the assets status showed that Subject’s other receivables were up nearly 133% in 2009,
which described its frequent internal transactions. In addition, the big amount of Subject’s Long
Term investment expanded its assets scale substantially. The observation of its liabilities statement
can find that Subject’s Short Term loans stood at RMB14 million in 2009, which proved its strong

financing capacity. But the remarkable increase in its other payables implied Subject is usurping
capital resources of its associate enterprises for its own needs. The above facts indicated that
Subject, with a shortage of working capital, usually resorts to Short Term loans and internal
transfers from associate enterprises to alleviate its capital stress.
TENDENCY ANALYSIS
Statistics show that there are around 13,000 enterprises involved in the hydraulics,
hydro-mechanicals, pneumatics and seals industry. Over the past few years, with strong support
from the government, a host of mainstay enterprises in the line has significantly enhanced their
technical level and improved their technical equipment, which lays a solid foundation for the forging
of efficiently large production capacity. According to the data released by China Hydraulics
Pneumatics & Seals Association on 296 mainstay hydraulics, hydro-mechanicals, pneumatics and
seals enterprises under observation, the gross profit margin of this industry stood at 9.44% and
sales/output ratio reached 97.38% during the period from Jan. to May 2010. The production and
demand were well balanced in an always brisk market. The production value of this industry hit
RMB6.151 billion, up by 32.54% year-on-year. The sales value hit RMB5.99 billion, up by 34.74%
year-on-year. Sales revenue hit RMB540 million, up by 31.07% year-on-year. In addition, the
development of China’s machinery industry, construction of various infrastructural facilities,
implementation of “Vast West Development Strategy,” improvement of people’s living standards and
further integration of international and domestic markets are also advantageous factors to the
prospects of hydraulics, hydro-mechanicals, pneumatics and seals industry.
Subject, established in Sep. 1992, is now a limited liability company with complete-function
organizational structure composed of HR Dept., Finance Dept., Purchasing Dept., General
Manager’s Office, Mfg. Center, Quality Management Dept., Equipment Dept., R&D Dept; and
Marketing Dept. Principally engaged in the R&D, production and distribution of rubber & plastic
seals, graphite seals, rubber shock absorbers and other rubber products, Subject delivers a good
assortment of products with wide applications in automobiles, household electrical appliances &
consumables, hydraulic parts & engineering machinery and shipbuilding. The huge market demand
bolsters Subject’s production and operations soundly (Subject’s monthly production plan is now
well scheduled and only the period from December to next January is comparatively idle when
Subject usually sets aside partial output as inventory to meet urgent demand). Meanwhile, Subject
has gained adequate technological edges after years of development, which has secured its
product quality convincingly and well guaranteed its customer resources. (Reportedly, more than
80% of Subject’s existing clients are loyal ones cooperating on a long-term bass). Subject has also
acquired a good many firms with its own capital means and therefore expanded its business scale
constantly. Presently, Subject is considered a middle- to large-sized enterprise in its line locally
enjoying certain recognition both in its industry and in local area.

POTENTIAL RISKS
However, it is noticeable that Subject’s shareholders are natural persons (SAMPLE Wenping and
SAMPLE Jinghong). Its legal representative, SAMPLE Wenping, starting his career as a technician,
provides the strong technical background of Subject. Subject maintains frequent capital transfers
with its numerous associated enterprises (which can be proven by its big other receivables and
other payable at 2009 yearend), which has toughened the pressure on its capital flow. Furthermore,
although Subject has a lot of suppliers, its cooperation with them is far from stable. The inefficient
capital flow also causes certain capital stress and results in Subject’s delayed payments, which
further deteriorates Subject’s relationships with its suppliers. This is also a threat to Subject’s
production and operations and should be one of the issues on
top of Subject’s list to consider for
the best solutions.
INDUSTRY PROFILE
China’s rapid industrialization has brought up a vast market for high-performance seals and the
repairing of automobiles, engineering machinery and imported equipment also indicates the huge
growth potential of the seals manufacturing industry.
China still lags behind foreign countries in terms of production scale and production technology in
the seals manufacturing industry. Industry insiders reveal that the productivity of foreign enterprises
is usually dozens times that of domestic firms. Taking Parker Hannifin of USA, a world-famous seal
maker, as an example, the company, with only 90 employees, achieves annual sales value as high
as USD10 million while the sales value of most Chinese enterprises with thousands of employees is
less than RMB100 million.
Due to backward technologies, domestic seals can only find a place with efforts in low- to
middle-end markets. In addition, the struggling domestic enterprises also have to carve out a niche
for their survival. On the one hand, the aggressive march of foreign competitors into the domestic
market has a serious impact on national enterprises. On the other hand, the foreign enterprises
have set barriers for the entry of domestic products through their JVs involved in manufacturing
machines and equipment where seals are used in batches, which has handicapped the
development of China’s national industry. At the same time, more and more imported fittings and
parts are being purchased by domestic enterprises who strive to improve their product quality. This
is especially the case with automobile seals, whose high-end markets are now monopolized by the
products of foreign-invested enterprises. It is not difficult to draw a picture of the predicaments
suffered by the national seals industry under these two pressures.
The equipment manufacturing industry is a major indicator standing for the industrialization level,
modernization level and comprehensive national power of a country, So far, the equipment
manufacturing industry, with complete product categories and considerable production scale and
efficiency, has become a main pedestal to China’s economic development and China has jumped to
SAMPLE
Subject:
SAMPLE
GUANGZHOU STAR SAMPLE INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.
the fifth place in the world in terms of manufacturing sector. According to relevant data, there are
around 55000 sizable equipment manufacturers in China with 15 million employees in total. The
added value of this industry accounts for 10.8% of China’s GDP, and the taxes paid by this industry
contribute 5.5% of the government’s tax revenue. It thus can be seen that the future of the domestic
seals market is quite promising.
However, the status quo of the national seals industry cannot match China’s reputation as a major
equipment manufacturer in the world, which has not only imposed a disadvantageous factor for
enhancing the overall level of China’s equipment manufacturing industry, but also seriously
restricted its development. China should promote the development of this industry.
GENERAL COMMENTS
Our investigation results show that Subject’s business performance has been less satisfactory in
recent years as compared with industry averages and its profitability should be further improved. As
a private limited liability company, the capital resources and stability of Subject’s shareholders are
limited. Furthermore, Subject’s assets structure in recent years is not so reasonable and its
solvency is mediocre. But considering its upward business tendency and growing profit room in
recent years as well as its past business history and credit record, we suggest a credit rating of CR4
on a case-by-case basis.
