ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Overview

China Industrial Waste Management, Inc., through its 90%-owned subsidiary Dalian Dongtai Industrial Waste Treatment Co., Ltd. (“Dongtai”) and other indirect subsidiaries, is engaged in the collection, treatment, disposal and recycling of industrial wastes principally in Dalian, China and surrounding areas in Liaoning Province, China. The Company provides waste disposal solutions to its more than 650 customers from facilities located in the Economic and Technology Development Zone, Dalian, PRC. Dongtai treats, disposes of and/or recycles many types of industrial wastes. Recycled waste products are used by customers as raw materials to produce chemical and metallurgy products. In addition, Dongtai and its subsidiaries treat or dispose of industrial waste through incineration, landfill or water treatment; as well as provide the following to its clients:

· 
  Environmental protection services,
 
· 
  Technology consultation,
 
· 
  Pollution treatment services,
 
· 
  Waste management design processing services,
 
· 
  Waste disposal solutions,
 
· 
  Waste transportation services,
 
· 
  Onsite waste management services, and
 
· 
  Environmental pollution remediation services.

Industry Background and Market Opportunities

Rapid economic growth has resulted in China becoming the third largest economy in the world, however, in the face of this economic surge, it is believed that economic losses attributable to environmental pollution are causing a 10% offset to GDP growth in China.

In order to address the environmental issue, the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) was officially upgraded to Ministry of Environmental Protection of China early in 2008, reflecting the growing emphasis the PRC Government places on environmental protection. In recent years a series of new laws and regulations related to environmental protection have been implemented in China. In addition, long term plans for environmental protection have been made by the government.

· 
  During the Eleventh Five-year Plan (2006-2010), the PRC government has established the following three primary environmental protection goals:

· 
  Reduce total pollutants by 10%;

· 
  Decrease energy cost per unit of GDP by 20%; and

· 
  Decrease water cost per unit of industrial value by 30%.

Assuming that these objectives are fulfilled, we estimate that the GDP of the environmental protection industry in China would double. Currently, there are approximately 30,000 companies engaged in environmental protection industry in China employing at total of approximately 2 million people with a total production value of approximately $100 billion. The industry has maintained a 25% annual growth rate in the past decade, and in spite of the global recession, the environmental protection industry is an industry which has been minimally impacted. As a component of the $586 billion economic stimulus package announced by the Chinese government in November 2008 (the largest in China's history), the government plans to enhance sewage and waste treatment facilities to prevent water pollution, accelerate green belt and natural forest planting programs, and increase energy conservation initiatives and pollution control projects.

Management believes that the environmental protection industry is taking shape in China, and the industry has become a significant component of the overall economy. Through the acquisition of operating subsidiaries, Dongtai has expanded its operation into Municipal BOT projects such as waste water treatment, municipal sludge treatment, and environmental engineering. At present, the environmental protection industry in China is rapidly growing.  More centralized waste treatment & disposal facilities, waste water treatment plants and municipal sludge treatment facilities will be established throughout China. Therefore, management believes that the Company is addressing a significant potential market and is well-positioned to perform a pivotal role in the implementation of the PRC’s economic stimulus plan in 2009 and the Eleventh Five-year Plan in the long term.

Sources and Components of Revenues
 
Dongtai is licensed to conduct its industrial waste collection and disposal business by Ministry of Environment Protection, which is an agency equivalent to the Environmental Protection Agency in the United States. Companies without this license are not permitted to conduct business related to industrial waste disposal and collection. The grant of the license is based upon the professional qualifications of the applicant’s staff and an evaluation of its management processes. Dongtai is licensed to dispose of hazardous waste by the Province of Liaoning.

Our income is comprised of three components, i.e., solid waste treatment and disposal service fees, sales of valuable waste material and products, and municipal waste water treatment fees. Revenue from waste water treatment contributes approximately $0.25 million per quarter and since commencing operations the Company has received two quarterly payments from the local government based on the amount of waste water treated by the facility, making up a relatively small percentage of total revenue. The following chart depicts the three main streams of revenue from 2006 through 2008.

The following chart illustrates the constituents of fees as relates to 2008 solid waste treatment fees:

FEESPIECHART

In fiscal 2008, we served approximately 685 customers. Our 10 core customers include Cannon Office Machine (Dalian), Toshiba (Dalian), Capstone Building Material (Dalian) and Bosch (Dalian). Core customers and major customers account for 7% of all customers and 82% of total treatment fees, whereas 93% of all customers only contribute 18% to our revenues generated from waste treatment fees.

The current expansion project of Dongtai, which is one of fifty-five hazardous waste treatment centers sponsored by the National Development and Reform Commission and one of two centers in Liaoning province, commenced construction at the end of July, 2008. Construction of its incineration plant has been completed and on-site construction will resume in mid-March 2009 after the winter break. The Company expects the plant to be operational by second half of 2009. Management believes that with the operation of the new centralized hazardous waste treatment center, coupled with continued increase in international companies relocating to Dalian, Dongtai is positioned to capitalize on this rapid environmental development in Liaoning Province. We anticipate that revenues from our waste treatment, sales of waste recovery and valuable material will continue to grow in the next year, despite the economic recession. We anticipate that revenue generated from waste water treatment, which is based on waste water volume and guaranteed by local government, will grow steadily as the amount of water which needs to be treated increases in the future. Dalian Zhuorui, a catalyst recycling project, is expected to become meaningful contributors to revenue growth in 2009.

Business Activities

Solid waste collectio n and treatment :     Dongtai collects solid waste from customers, and charges processing fees based upon the weight of the collected waste. Dongtai’s services include waste collection and transportation, incineration, landfill, water treatment, packaging, analysis, storage, labor, depreciation of facilities, maintenance, chemicals, energy, management and taxes.

Sales of product s:   Our subsidiary, Dalian Dongtai, processes recovered products and converts them into cupric sulfate and organic solvents in a form that is desirable for use by companies engaged in chemical engineering, agriculture and mining. The sales price for cupric sulfate is affected by the supply of raw materials, product life span, product structure and production status. Organic solvent is generally used in chemical engineering and in the electronic industry. At present the resources are scattered and the volume is limited, but potential volume in the coming three years is expected to grow.

Collection and sales of valuable material:   General waste is processed to produce valuable materials, which refers to material that can be reused after sorting or treatment, such as waste metal and waste plastic. Dongtai sorts and treats the valuable material contained in industrial waste, and resells them based upon prevailing market prices. The following chart shows the volume of valuable materials sold during fiscal 2008.

Municipal waste water treatment: Inadequate investment has traditionally impeded the progress of environmental protection efforts in China. In the past few years, investment emphasis has increasingly transitioned from industrial waste water treatment to municipal waste water and solid waste pollution prevention. Municipal waste water treatment is highlighted as a critical component of China’s $586 billion economic stimulus plan.

Dongtai Water Recycling Co. Ltd. (“Dongtai Water”) was incorporated in July 2006, at which time Dongtai acquired an 18% equity interest in Dongtai Water. On July 16, 2007 Dongtai purchased an additional 62% of the equity of Dongtai Water. Dongtai Water is a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) project, designed to process municipal waste water generated by the city of Dalian. The first stage of construction of the plant has been completed and is operating to specification and design parameters, with Class A discharging water and a capacity of approximately 30,000 tons/day. Completion of construction of the Xiajiahe plant is planned to execute in three stages. Phase Two is expected to be completed in 2-3 years and will increase treatment capacity to 60,000 tons/day. Dongtai Water continues to evaluate necessary expansion capacity for Phase Three. Dongtai Water also intends to continue its research and development focused on the reuse of reclaimed water.

In a typical BOT project, the municipal government will invite candidates to bid on the project. The winner of the bid is generally the bidder which offers the best combination of price and construction and operating model for the project. The winning bidder then becomes eligible to contribute investment in construction of the BOT facility and to operate the facility for 20-25 years after construction. In connection with the project, the municipal government becomes responsible for the payment ofservice fee to the operator of the facility.

Waste catalyst treatment and comprehensive reuse:      Dalian Zhuorui Resource Recycling Co., Ltd. (“Zhuorui”) was incorporated in April 2006 and is engaged in plasma arc melting, separation and purification of waste catalysts treatment and comprehensive utilization of waste catalysts or similar material. In August 2007, Dongtai acquired 70% of the equity of Zhuorui from a related company controlled by Mr. Dong Jinqing, our CEO, for a purchase price of RMB 7 million (approximately US$958,300).

Zhuorui completed on-site construction in the third quarter of 2008, and is in the process of equipment testing, where several large-scale trials have been completed to date. However, the continuity of the production process is not yet stable and engineers are adjusting the production process to improve the effective yield of the process to desired levels. Due to the impact of the economic downturn the price of Zhuorui’s final products, which include chemical compounds of valuable metals, has decreased dramatically since the end of 2008. However, management believes that the economy in China will resume its growth in 2009 and Zhuorui is positioned to capitalize on a rapidly growing market for catalyst treatment and sales of metallic compound.

Dalian is the national strategic oil storage and refining base. There are two large scale oil refining companies in Dalian, i.e., West Pacific Petrochemical Company (with a 10 million ton capacity) and Dalian Petrochemical Corporation (with a 20 million ton capacity). The total amount of waste catalyst produced by the two companies is approximately 3,000 tons annually. Additionally, other refining plants in northeast China are reconstructing their facilities to address high-sulfur content oil. Upon completion of the reconstruction projects, the annual generation volume of spent catalyst is expected to reach 8,000-10,000 tons.

Design and installation of environmental protection equipment and renewable energy equipment:   On October 18, 2007, Dongtai entered into a Contract for Joint Venture Using Foreign Investment with Roland Lipp, Karin Lipp-Mayer and Minghuan Shan to establish a joint venture limited liability company in the People’s Republic of China. The joint venture entity, known as Dalian Lipp Environmental Energy Engineering & Technology Co., Ltd. (“Dalian Lipp”), will target organic waste treatment and waste water treatment market, and be engaged in sales of its proprietary fermentation reactor, sewage tank and post-sale technical service. The Company plans to pursue localization of equipment design and manufacturing during 2009.

The agreement provides that the registered capital of Dalian Lipp will be $1,095,200, of which Dongtai is to contribute $821,400 in return for a 75% interest, and Roland Lipp, Karin Lipp-Mayer and Minghuan Shan are to contribute $109,520, $109,520 and $54,760, respectively. As of March 31, 2009 a business license was granted to Dalian Lipp upon contribution of the registered capital.

  Ordinary Industrial Solid Waste Landfill

Electric Garbage Dismantling System:     Following classification and dismantling of photocopier ink cartridges and electric components of certain household appliances, the system can recover metal and plastics with high efficiency and limit the amount of unrecyclable residual waste. The system also includes recycling metals from household electric appliances such as TV picture tubes, and treating the hazardous residual components such as phosphor and Freon so that such residual waste is rendered innocuous. The system was built in 1997 and includes a large disintegrator, electronic scale, oven, vacuum cleaner, decorticator and large goods elevator.

Organic Solvent Distillation Recycling System :   Dongtai established the organic solvent distillation recycling system in 1992. This system includes a raw material storage tank, a rectifying tower, and a flashing tower. The system is capable of treating organic solvents including triclene, acetone, ethyl acetate, isopropyl alcohol, propylene glycol monomethyl ether methyl alcohol, methylbenzene, and cyclohexanone.
 
Since 2003 this system has been listed and promoted as a "national key environmental project" by the State Environmental Protection Administration for three consecutive years. As a result of employing this system Dongtai is also listed as the technology supporting unit of the "National Technology Achievement Promotion Project". This system won the second prize of Dalian Technology Innovations in December 2000.
 
Dongtai has established very strict procedures for the disposal or treatment of toxic and hazardous chemical waste. No environmental pollution accident has occurred since the establishment of Dongtai. Dongtai has established relationships with over 40 enterprises in dealing with their toxic chemical waste.

Fluorescent Tube Treatment System:     Dongtai has developed a waste fluorescent tube treatment system. The system is able to safely dispose of fluorescent lighting tubes which contain harmful substances such as mercury. The system breaks the tubes under negative pressure, and absorbs and washes the harmful components such as mercury. The glass fragments and metal residue resulting from the treatment can then be recycled.

Organic Macromolecular Waste Dest ructive Distillation Cracking System:     Canon Dalian Business Machines Co. Ltd is an enterprise established in Dalian by Canon (China) Co. Ltd. primarily to produce laser printer ink cartridges. Treatment of the residual powdered ink in used cartridges was problematic, so Dongtai developed a unique waste powdered ink destructive distillation pyrolysis treatment technique for Canon. This system can transform the waste powdered ink into fuel with a high calorific value. The residue can also be used to produce cement. The system was built in 1995 and is composed of destructive distillation cracking oven, heat exchange device and air storage tank. The system is able to treat powdered ink from photocopier and printer, and organic macromolecular materials such as polystyrene, polypropylene resin, polycarbonate, rubber materials, and oil sludge.

Waste Etchant Liquor Treatment System:     This system includes a material delivery device, reaction vessels, and press filters. The system can process etchant containing waste copper element and generate cupric sulfate through neutralization, acidification, and metathesis.

Industrial Waste Comprehensive Treatment System:     The system includes a treatment tank, an oil removal tank, a reaction tank, a precipitation tank, a neutralization tank, an absorption tank, filtering device. It is able to treat the ablution resulting from removing oil from the surface of metal, and grinding and cutting fluids resulting from machining.

Solid Waste Incineration System:      The inappropriate handling of hazardous chemicals can trigger serious environment pollution. Dongtai has built an incineration system which includes a two-stage incineration stove, a residual heat recovery system and a residual gas discharge system which renders the gas innocuous. The major wastes that can be processed through the system include: waste organic solvents, waste oil, waste glue liquor, and combustible solid industrial garbage. The automatic operating system meets PRC national standards.

Hazardous Waste Landfi ll:       The landfill has been built in accordance with PRC national construction standards. It has a double HDPE impermeable layer lining and percolating water collection system. After stabilization and solidification, the toxic and hazardous waste to be deposited in the landfill receives treatment rendering it innocuous. The system is able to handle a wide variety of waste residue containing heavy metal and incinerate residues. The project covers an area of 112,350 square feet.

Landfill for Ordinary Industr ial Solid Waste:     The landfill for ordinary industrial solid waste has been built according to PRC national standards. It is equipped with a single layer anti-seepage pretreatment system and a collection system of percolating water. The landfill can process ordinary industrial Class 1 and Class 2 wastes.

Market

Industrial waste: Major sources of industrial waste in the Dalian area include industrial enterprises, medical units, scientific research institutions and university laboratories. Dongtai believes that the total amount of waste generated and collected by in the greater Dalian area has grown significantly in recent years - from approximately11,000 tons in 2001, to approximately 48,476 tons in 2008. Approximately 61% of Dongtai’s revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 was for waste collection, treatment and disposal services, and the rest of Dongtai’s revenue is related to recycling operations.

BOT: At the present time, there are approximately 1,408 municipal waste water treatment plants operating in China, with 1,004 plants under construction, and it is estimated that 1,677 municipal waste water treatment plants will be constructed during the period of the Eleventh Five Year Plan. Liaoning is one of the country’s largest industrial centers and waste producers, and Dalian has the largest economy in Liaoning Province. According to the economic stimulus plan launched by the government of China, in 2009 Dalian will commence an investment package of approximately $150 million to improve the environmental infrastructure, including a plan to build six waste water treatment plants.

Engineering:     Sewage sludge is an end product of the waste water treatment process. In the face of another surge of waste water treatment plant construction triggered by the economic stimulus plan in 2009, the increasing amount of sewage sludge will pose a threat to environmental conservation in China. In order to cope with the issue, the Ministry of Environmental Protection of China is now seeking advice from the public for sewage sludge treatment policy, and guidance for treatment technology and related regulation is supposed to be available in 2009, which means a huge market of sewage sludge treatment is taking shape in China. Dalian Lipp, targeting organic waste treatment market, is ready to seize the opportunities in the field of sewage sludge treatment, and treatment of organic waste such as kitchen waste and animal ejection.

Although China was affected by the global economic crisis during the second half of 2008, Management is still confident that the Company will benefit from the opportunities which are emerging from the economic stimulus plan, and will gain further growth based on the balanced business structure.

Operating Strategy

Our business strategy is aimed at increasing revenue and earnings through profitable growth and improving returns on invested capital. The components of our strategy include:

· 
Emphasizing the commercialization of solid waste treatment;
 
· 
Expansion into municipal sewage and sludge treatment BOT projects;
 
· 
Managing our businesses locally with a strong operating focus and emphasis on customer service;
 
· 
Entering into new geographic markets in China; and
 
· 
Maintaining our financial capacity and effective administrative systems and controls to support on-going operations and future growth. We are evaluating growth in our solid waste treatment operations through opportunities to cooperate with prominent domestic or overseas partners and attempt to integrate customer groups (for example, the refinery industry), to realize resource optimization. We also plan to seek new BOT projects and acquire interests in existing projects.

Government Regulation

The industrial waste treatment business is still in its nascent stages in China. There are only a few coastal cities and several major cities in industrialized regions that have built or even plan to build industrial waste treatment facilities.

The industry has high barriers to entry due to the central government's strict licensing requirements. Both Ministry of Environment Protection and local bureaus of environmental protection license and regulate companies engaged in waste disposal and treatment. The requirements for licensing have become more stringent and applicants must demonstrate, among other things, that they have a sufficient operating history and a sufficient number of professional technicians, as well as compliance with national and local environmental standards.

The State has also adopted Measures for the Administration of Permit for Operation of Dangerous Wastes (“Measures”). The Measures are intended to strengthen supervision and administration of activities relating to the collection, storage and disposal of dangerous wastes, and preventing dangerous wastes from polluting the environment.

Dongtai has been awarded an Environmental Protection Facility Operation License by Ministry Of Environment Protection. In addition, pursuant to the Measures, Dongtai has received a Permit for the Operation of Dangerous Wastes by the local Bureau of Environmental Protection. In addition, Dongtai’s license provides that it is exclusively responsible for the collection and processing of industrial waste in Dalian and the surrounding areas of Liaoning Province.

The Company believes that it currently complies with all licensing requirements relating to its business operations. However, there is no assurance that the central or local governments will not adopt new regulations or licensing requirements that will make it more difficult for Dongtai to operate in the environmental protection industry.

Competition

There are several large companies in China that engage in providing solid waste recycling services, the recovery and treatment of waste materials, the production and sale of recycled products, the operation of environmental protection facilities (BOT) and/or the manufacture of environmental protection equipment.  In addition to Dongtai, these companies include Shenzhen Dongjiang Environmental Co., Ltd., Tianjin Hejia Veolia Environmental Service Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Dadi Environmental Protection Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Solid Waste Disposal Center. Dongtai and Shenzen Dongjiang provide the full range of these services. Dongtai believes it is the only company offering a full range of services in Dalian and Liaoning Province.
 
9


Within Liaoning Province, our principal competitors are Liaoning Zhen Xing, a state-owned environmental concern, primarily serving Shenyang and the surrounding area, and Liaoning Muchang Solid Waste Disposal Co., Ltd., a private solid waste disposal company also serving Shenyang and the surrounding area. Within Dalian, our principal competitor is Dalian Pingan Environmental Protection, a smaller-capacity, private enterprise, primarily dealing with limited categories of hazardous waste.

We believe that we enjoy a competitive advantage over other companies engaged in the environmental protection industry, including:

· 
Reputation   Dongtai has established itself as the leading environmental protection company in Liaoning Province, and an industry leader in all of China. Government officials consult Dongtai when drafting environmental protection legislation. Dongtai’s expanded facility has been included in the current national centralized hazardous waste disposal facility plan established by the National Development and Reform Commission.

· 
Broad and Diversified Customer Base Dongtai has a diverse customer base including some 650 companies engaged in private enterprises, municipal institutions and universities, including Canon, Pfizer, Toshiba and Panasonic (or their respective PRC affiliates). Management anticipates that as additional large multinational companies locate in Liaoning Province, Dongtai will be their first choice to provide environmental services. Dongtai holds both national and provincial operating permits.

· 
Long-term Stable Relationships Dongtai has an 18-year operating history and is committed to maintaining its customers by providing high quality products and services. Some of Dongtai’s customers, including Canon, Goodyear and Pfizer, have established strategic partnership with Dongtai since it commenced operations in 1991.

· 
Comprehensive Services Dongtai provides a comprehensive array of services including solid waste treatment, waste collection and transportation, environmental protection services, storage to landfill and on-site management. The broad range of services we offer allows us to customize a package of services to meet the needs of the large clients that we service.

· 
Advanced Technologies Dongtai designs and develops proprietary processes and technologies for use in providing its services. It has been awarded four patents in the PRC covering solid waste disposal and treatment processes, and two additional patent applications are pending. Dongtai, in conjunction with the Dalian University Institute for Eco-planning and Development, has established and operates the Dongtai Industrial Waste Disposal Technology Center. Dongtai also cooperates with experts in Canada and the United States to conduct research concerning eco-planning theory and policy, ecological efficiency evaluation and related activities, with the support of the Dalian University of Technology.

· 
Experienced Management and Sound Management System Dongtai’s senior management has extensive experience in environmental protection. Mr. Dong Jinqing, our Chief Executive Officer, founded Dongtai in 1991, and has over 17 years experience in the field of environmental protection. Dongtai was one of the first companies to be granted a permit for the operation of environmental protection equipment by the State Environmental Protection Administration, and license to operate hazardous waste treatment and disposal facilities by the Liaoning Environmental Protection Bureau.

In addition to the competitive advantages we believe we enjoy, there are barriers to entering the solid waste and environmental services market, including:

· 
  Substantial capital investment required;
 
· 
  Retaining qualified management is difficult;
 
10

 
· 
  Difficulties in developing a customer base;
 
· 
  The need for government licenses and permits; and
 
· 
  Advanced technologies are difficult to develop.
.
Notwithstanding our competitive advantages and the barriers to entering the marketplace, there is no assurance that we will remain a competitive force in our industry, or that we will operate on a profitable basis.

Employees

As of December 31, 2008 Dongtai and its subsidiaries have 400 registered employees. The following table depicts the allocation of these employees.

Company History

The Company was originally incorporated as a Delaware corporation in 1987 under the name of Egan Systems, Inc. In late 1987, the Company acquired ENVYR Corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary and established its headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina. From 1987 to 2003, the Company was primarily engaged in the business of developing, selling and supporting computer software products, particularly products related to the COBOL computer language.

In October 2003, the Company acquired a group of 35 mining claims from Goldtech Mining Corporation, a Washington Corporation. In November, 2003, the Company acquired the remaining mining claims of Goldtech Mining Corporation. In connection with the acquisitions, the Company changed its name to Goldtech Mining Corporation and re-domiciled to the State of Nevada.

Following these acquisitions, the Company operated in two lines of business: (a) the exploration and development of potential mining properties, and (b) the development, marketing and support of computer software products and services. In September 2004, the Company sold its computer business and adopted a business plan to focus exclusively on its mining exploration business. By September 2005, the Company had ceased active mining operations as a result of its loss of contractual mining rights in Spain.

In 2005 the board of directors of the Company decided to pursue other business opportunities. In November 2005, the Company acquired a 90% indirect ownership interest (through a wholly owned Delaware subsidiary of the Company known as DonTech Waste Services Inc., which was originally known as Dalian Acquisition Corp.) in Dongtai, in a reverse merger transaction. Dongtai had been founded on January 9, 1991 as a limited liability company under the PRC laws, with a total registered capital of $250,000.

As a result of the reverse merger, Dongtai became a joint venture with foreign investment under the laws of the PRC, with a total registered capital of $2.3 million. The formation of the joint venture was approved by Dalian Industry and Commerce Bureau, and the term of the joint venture is 12 years. A new business license was issued to Dongtai on October 10, 2005, and the registered capital has been fully paid as of April 2007.

On September 18, 2008, the Company formed Favour as a British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Industrial Waste Management, Inc. Simultaneously, the Company formed Full Treasure as a Hong Kong corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Favour. Favour and Full Treasure were established to facilitate the Company’s banking relationships.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K before deciding to invest in our common stock.

Risks Related to our Business

Our failure to compete effectively may adversely affect our ability to generate revenue.

We compete primarily on the basis of our ability to secure contracts with industrial companies, and local government entities in Dalian, China and surrounding areas for waste processing and disposal or for the purchase by us of waste material which we recycle. There can be no assurance that such contracts will be available to us in new areas as we attempt to expand or that our competitors will negotiate more favorable arrangements with our current customers. We expect that we will be required to continue to invest in building waste treatment and disposal infrastructure. Our competitors may have better resources and better strategies to raise capital which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We rely on our governmental permits rights to operate our business in Dalian, China and the loss of the permits would have a material adverse impact on our business.
 
Only those companies who have been granted a special operating license issued by the national and local governments are permitted to engage in the industrial waste treatment and disposal business in China. Dongtai's expansion project has been listed as one of the 55 items of the Hazardous Waste and Medical Waste Treatment Facility Construction Program approved by State Environmental Protection Administration. The national and local governments have strict requirements regarding the technology which must be employed and the qualifications and training of management of the licensee which must be maintained. Either the national or local government could determine at any time that we do not meet the strict requirements of technology or management and revoke our permit to engage in the industrial waste business in China. The termination of our licenses to operate would have a material adverse impact on our revenue and business.

If we fail to introduce new services or our existing services are not accepted by potential customers we may not gain or may lose market share.

Our continued growth is dependent upon our ability to generate more revenue from our existing customers, obtain new customers and raise capital from outside sources. We believe that in order to continue to capture additional market share and generate additional revenue, we will have to raise more capital to fund the construction and installation of additional facilities and to obtain additional equipment to collect, process and dispose of industrial waste and recycle waste for our existing and future customers. For example, our 90% owned subsidiary, Dongtai, has entered into agreements with respect to the construction of two BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) Projects in Dalian, China – a municipal sewage treatment facility and a sludge treatment and disposal facility. We estimate that Dongtai’s aggregate investment in such projects will be RMB 36 million (approximately $5.2 million) for an 80% interest in Dongtai Water Recycling Company, which intends to operate a municipal sewage treatment plant, and RMB 60 million (approximately $8.72 million) for a 49% interest in Dongtai Organic Waste Treatment Company, which intends to operate a municipal sludge treatment and disposal facility. We anticipate that we will also require approximately RMB 120 million (approximately $16.4 million) in order to fund the expansion project relating to upgrade of Dongtai’s existing waste processing facilities, as well as approximately RMB 51 million (approximately $5.25 million) to satisfy its investment needs required by in Dalian Zhuorui Resource Recycling Co., Ltd., in which Dongtai own a 70% interest. We anticipate that the total funding include expenditures mentioned above that we will require to finance the construction and installation of additional facilities and to obtain additional equipment for Dongtai to accommodate a sharp increase in demand for its waste management services and more stringent regulatory criteria in environmental management, as well as to strengthen our presence outside of Dalian, China, through investment and/or acquisition is approximately RMB 267 million (approximately $36 million) . We anticipate that such funding will be provided through a variety of sources including bank loans, equity financing and net cash flow generated from operations.
 
12


The Company also intends to submit a bid to participate in a BOT project relating to the Dalian Siergou sewage treatment plant. If the Company’s bid is successful, an additional 140 million RMB (approximately $20.1 million) will be needed to finance the project.

It is likely that we will also seek participation in additional projects, although no such projects have been identified by us at this time. In the future we may be unable to obtain the necessary financing for our capital requirements on a timely basis and on acceptable terms, and our failure to do so may adversely affect our financial position, competitive position, growth and profitability. Our ability to obtain acceptable financing at any time may depend on a number of factors, including: our financial condition and results of operations; the condition of the PRC economy and the industrial waste treatment industry in PRC, and conditions in relevant financial markets in the United States, PRC and elsewhere in the world.

Our inability to fund our capital expenditure requirements may adversely affect our growth and profitability.

Our continued growth is dependent upon our ability to generate more revenue from our existing customers, obtain new customers and raise capital from outside sources. We believe that in order to continue to capture additional market share and generate additional revenue, we will have to raise more capital to fund the construction and installation of additional facilities and to obtain additional equipment to collect, process and dispose of industrial waste and recycle waste for our existing and future customers. In the future we may be unable to obtain the necessary financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms, and our failure to do so may adversely affect our financial position, competitive position, growth and profitability. Our ability to obtain acceptable financing at any time may depend on a number of factors, including: our financial condition and results of operations, the condition of the PRC economy and the industrial waste treatment industry in the PRC, and conditions in relevant financial markets in the United States, the PRC and elsewhere in the world.

We may not be able to effectively control and manage our growth.

If our business and markets grow and develop, it will be necessary for us to finance and manage expansion in an orderly fashion. We may face challenges in managing our industrial waste treatment and disposal business over an expanded geographical area as well as managing a business offering expanded waste treatment services. We may also encounter difficulties in integrating acquired businesses with our own. Such eventualities will increase demands on our existing management, workforce and facilities. Failure to satisfy such increased demands could interrupt or adversely affect our operations and cause administrative inefficiencies.

If we are unable to successfully complete and integrate new operational locations in a timely manner, our growth strategy could be adversely impacted.

An important element of our growth strategy is expected to be the development of operational locations outside of Dalian, China. However, integrating businesses involves a number of specific risks, including the possibility that management may be distracted from regular business concerns by the need to integrate operations, unforeseen difficulties in integrating operations and systems, problems relating to assimilating and retaining the employees of acquired businesses, accounting issues that arise in connection with acquisitions, challenges in retaining customers, and potential adverse short-term effects on operating results. In addition, we may incur debt to finance future operational locations, and we may issue securities in connection with future operational locations that may dilute the holdings of our current or future stockholders. If we are unable to successfully complete and integrate new operational locations in a timely manner, our business, growth strategy and financial results could be materially and adversely impacted.
 
13


Our waste treatment operations are risky and we may be subject to civil liabilities as a result of hazards posed by such operations.

Our operations are subject to potential hazards incident to the gathering, processing and storage of industrial waste such as explosions, product spills, leaks, emissions and fires. These hazards can cause personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, and pollution or other environmental damage, and may result in curtailment or suspension of operations at the affected facility. Consequently, we may face civil liabilities in the ordinary course of our business. At present, we do not carry any insurance to cover such liabilities in the ordinary course of our business, except that our employees are insured for injuries occurring at work. Although we have not faced any civil liabilities historically in the ordinary course of our waste treatment operations, there is no assurance that we will not face such liabilities in the future. If such liabilities occur in the future, they may adversely and materially affect our operations and financial condition.

Failure to retain services of key personnel will affect our operations and results .

Our success to date has been largely due to the contributions of our executive officers. The continued success of our business is very much dependent on the goodwill that they have developed in the industry over the past years. Our continued success is dependent, to a large extent, on our ability to retain the services of our executive officers. The loss of any of our executive officers’ services due to resignation, retirement, illness or otherwise without suitable replacement or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel would affect our operations and may reduce our profitability and the return on your investment. We do not currently maintain key man insurance covering our executive officers.

We may not be able to protect our processes, technologies and systems against claims by other parties .

Although we have four registered PRC patents and have applied for two other PRC patents in respect of the processes, technologies and systems we use frequently in our systems, we have not purchased or applied for any patents other than these as we are of the view that it may not be cost-effective to do so. For such other processes, technologies and systems for which we have not applied for or purchased or been licensed to use patents, we may have no legal recourse to protect our rights in the event that they are replicated by other parties. If our competitors are able to replicate our processes, technologies and systems at lower costs, we may lose our competitive edge and our profitability may be reduced.

We may face claims for infringement of third-party intellectual property rights .

We may face claims from third parties in respect of the infringement of any intellectual property rights owned by such third parties. There is no assurance that third parties will not assert claims to our processes, technologies and systems. In such an event, we may need to acquire licenses to, or to contest the validity of, issued or pending patents or claims of third parties. There can be no assurance that any license acquired under such patents would be made available to us on acceptable terms, if at all, or that we would prevail in any such contest. In addition, we would incur substantial costs and spend substantial amounts of time in defending ourselves in or contesting suits brought against us for alleged infringement of another party’s patent rights. As such, our operations and business may be adversely affected by such civil actions. We rely on trade secrets, technology and know-how. There can be no assurance that other parties may not obtain knowledge of our trade secrets and processes, technology and systems. Should these events occur, our business would be affected and our profitability reduced.

We are reliant on a few major suppliers .

We are dependent on our major suppliers for the timely delivery of waste materials that we require for our recycling operations. Should our major suppliers fail to deliver such materials on time, and if we are unable to source these materials from alternative suppliers on a timely basis, our revenue and profitability could be adversely affected.

We are subject to risks rela ting to BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) projects in which we have started to invest .

Our 90% owned subsidiary, Dongtai, has begun to invest capital in BOT projects which require high up-front capital expenditures. For example, Dongtai has entered into agreements to invest in Dongtai Water Recycling Company, a municipal sewage treatment facility in Dalian, China and Dongtai Organic Waste Treatment Company, which is constructing and will operate a sludge treatment and disposal facility in Dalian, China. We estimate that Dongtai’s aggregate investment in such projects will be approximately 36 million RMB (approximately $5.2 million) for an 80% interest in Dongtai Water Recycling Company, which intends to operate a municipal sewage treatment plant, and 60 million RMB (approximately $8.72 million) for a 49% interest in Dongtai Organic Waste Treatment Company, which intends to operate a municipal sludge treatment and disposal facility. Dongtai Organic Waste Treatment Company has financed itself through bank loan.
 
14


Our returns from BOT projects are derived from fees paid by the PRC government and we expect to benefit from these BOT projects which are designed to generate a steady and recurring source of income for us over a sustained period of time - typically between 20 and 25 years. However, our BOT projects are exposed to risks such as the occurrence of natural disasters or the imposition of more stringent government regulations, which may result in the disruption of our BOT projects and, therefore, the projected revenue stream that they create. Our investment returns from these BOT projects may thus be reduced should any of such risks materialize. In addition, our lack of experience in administering BOT projects may negatively impact our ability to successfully manage the projects we have undertaken.

Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC

We face the risk that changes in the policies of the PRC government could have a significant impact upon the business we may be able to conduct in the PRC and the profitability of such business.

The PRC’s economy is in a transition from a planned economy to a market oriented economy subject to five-year and annual plans adopted by the government that set national economic development goals. Policies of the PRC government can have significant effects on the economic conditions of the PRC. The PRC government has confirmed that economic development will follow the model of a market economy. Under this direction, we believe that the PRC will continue to strengthen its economic and trading relationships with foreign countries and business development in the PRC will follow market forces. While we believe that this trend will continue, we cannot assure you that this will be the case. A change in policies by the PRC government could adversely affect our interests by, among other factors: changes in laws, regulations or the interpretation thereof, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports or sources of supplies, or the expropriation or nationalization of private enterprises. Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than two decades, we cannot assure you that the government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption, or other circumstances affecting the PRC's political, economic and social life.

Introduction of new laws or changes to existing laws by the PRC government may adversely affect our bu siness .

The PRC legal system is a codified legal system made up of written laws, regulations, circulars, administrative directives and internal guidelines. Unlike common law jurisdictions like the U.S., decided cases (which may be taken as reference) do not form part of the legal structure of the PRC and thus have no binding effect. Furthermore, in line with its transformation from a centrally-planned economy to a more free market-oriented economy, the PRC government is still in the process of developing a comprehensive set of laws and regulations. As the legal system in the PRC is still evolving, laws and regulations or the interpretation of the same may be subject to further changes. For example, the PRC government may impose restrictions on the amount of tariff that may be payable by municipal governments to waste water treatment service providers like us. Also, more stringent environmental regulations may also affect our ability to comply with, or our costs to comply with, such regulations. Such changes, if implemented, may adversely affect our business operations and may reduce our profitability.

The PRC laws and regulations governing our current business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain. Any changes in such PRC laws and regulations may have a material and adverse effect on our business.
 
There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing our business, or the enforcement and performance of our arrangements with customers in the event of the imposition of statutory liens, death, bankruptcy and criminal proceedings. We and any future subsidiaries are considered foreign persons or foreign funded enterprises under PRC laws, and as a result, we are required to comply with PRC laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are sometimes vague and may be subject to future changes, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance by foreign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. We cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations may have on our businesses.
 
15


A slowdown or other adverse developments in the PRC economy or other major economies all over the world may materially and adversely affect our customers, demand for our services and our business.
 
We are a holding company. All of our operations are conducted in the PRC and all of our revenues are generated from sales in the PRC. Although the PRC economy has grown significantly in recent years, we cannot assure you that such growth will continue. Moreover, China enjoys an export-oriented economy and it relies on external demand. The industrial waste treatment industry in the PRC is relatively new and growing, but we do not know how sensitive we are to a slowdown in economic growth or other adverse changes in the PRC economy which may affect demand for our services. A slowdown in overall economic growth, an economic downturn or recession or other adverse economic developments in the PRC or other major economies all over the world may materially reduce the demand for our services and the recycled materials we sell and materially and adversely affect our business.

Inflation in the PRC could negatively affect our profitability and growth.
 
While the PRC economy has experienced rapid growth, such growth has been uneven among various sectors of the economy and in different geographical areas of the country. Rapid economic growth can lead to growth in the money supply and rising inflation. If prices for our products rise at a rate that is insufficient to compensate for the rise in the costs of supplies, it may have an adverse effect on profitability. In order to control inflation in the past, the PRC government has imposed controls on bank credits, limits on loans for fixed assets and restrictions on state bank lending. Such an austere policy can lead to a slowing of economic growth.

Our PRC subsidiaries are subject to restrictions on paying dividends and making other payments to us.
 
We are a holding company incorporated in the State of Nevada and do not have any assets or conduct any business operations other than our investments in our subsidiaries in China. As a result of our holding company structure, we rely primarily on dividend payments from our subsidiaries. However, PRC regulations currently permit payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Our subsidiaries in China are also required to set aside a portion of their after-tax profits according to PRC accounting standards and regulations to fund certain reserve funds. The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of China. We may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other payments. If we or our subsidiaries are unable to receive all of the revenues from our operations through these contractual or dividend arrangements, we may be unable to pay dividends on our common stock.

Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.
 
The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC. We receive substantially all of our revenues in Renminbi, which is currently not a freely convertible currency. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict our ability to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends, or otherwise satisfy foreign currency dominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from the transaction, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate governmental authorities is required where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of the PRC to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies.

The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay certain of our expenses as they come due.
 
The fluctuation of the Renminbi may materially and adversely affect your investment.
 
The value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC's political and economic conditions. As we rely entirely on revenues earned in the PRC, any significant revaluation of the Renminbi may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues and financial condition. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars we receive from an offering of our securities into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our common shares or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the Renminbi, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Renminbi we convert would be reduced. In addition, the depreciation of significant U.S. dollar denominated assets could result in a charge to our income statement and a reduction in the value of these assets. 

On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximately 11.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. While the international reaction to the RMB revaluation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar.
 
Recent PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) Regulations regarding offshore financing activities by PRC residents, have undertaken continuous changes which may increase the administrative burden we face and create regulatory uncertainties that could adversely affect the implementation of our acquisition strategy, and a failure by our shareholders who are PRC residents to make any required applications and filings pursuant to such regulations may prevent us from being able to distribute profits and could expose us and our PRC resident shareholders to liability under PRC law.

Recent regulations promulgated by the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, regarding offshore financing activities by PRC residents have undergone a number of changes which may increase the administrative burden we face. The failure by our shareholders who are PRC residents to make any required applications and filings pursuant to such regulations may prevent us from being able to distribute profits and could expose us and our PRC resident shareholders to liability under PRC law.

In 2005, SAFE promulgated regulations in the form of public notices, which require registrations with, and approval from, SAFE on direct or indirect offshore investment activities by PRC resident individuals. The SAFE regulations require that if an offshore company directly or indirectly formed by or controlled by PRC resident individuals, known as “SPC,” intends to acquire a PRC company, such acquisition will be subject to strict examination by the SAFE. Without registration, the PRC entity cannot remit any of its profits out of the PRC as dividends or otherwise.

Because our principal assets are located outside of the United States and all of our directors and all our officers reside outside of the United States, it may be difficult for you to enforce your rights based on U.S. Federal Securities Laws against us and our officers and directors or to enforce a judgment of a United States court against us or our officers and directors in the PRC.

All of our directors and officers reside outside of the United States. In addition, our operating subsidiary is located in the PRC and substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. It may therefore be difficult for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. Federal securities laws against us in the courts of either the U.S. or the PRC and, even if civil judgments are obtained in U.S. courts, to enforce such judgments in PRC courts. Further, it is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the United States and the PRC would permit effective enforcement against us or our officers and directors of criminal penalties, under the U.S. Federal securities laws or otherwise.

We may face obstacles from the communist system in the PRC.

Foreign companies conducting operations in PRC face significant political, economic and legal risks. The Communist regime in the PRC, including a cumbersome bureaucracy, may hinder Western investment.
 
We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in the PRC.
 
The PRC historically has not adopted a western style of management and financial reporting concepts and practices, as well as in modern banking, computer and other control systems. We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in the PRC. As a result of these factors, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet Western standards.

We have, in the past, identified a material weakness relating to our financial statements from prior periods. While we believe that we have remediated our material weakness, there is no assurance that we will not identify additional material weaknesses in the future.

We have, in the past, identified a material weakness relating to our financial statements from prior periods. While we believe that we have remediated our material weakness, there is no assurance that we will not identify additional material weaknesses in the future. As disclosed elsewhere in this report under Item 9(A)(T) – Controls and Procedures, it will be necessary for us to monitor certain aspects of our internal operations on a continuing basis in order to provide for effective controls and procedures, There is no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our officers, directors and affiliates control us through their positions and stock ownership and their interests may differ from other stockholders.

Our officers, directors and affiliates beneficially own approximately 68.6% of our outstanding common stock of CIWT. Dong Jinqing, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 9,847,900 shares (approximately 64.5%) of our outstanding common stock. As a result, Mr. Dong is and will continue to be able to influence the outcome of stockholder votes on various matters, including the election of directors and extraordinary corporation transactions including business combinations. Mr. Dong’s interests may differ from other stockholders. Additional information relating to the beneficial ownership of our securities is contained elsewhere in this report under “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”

We are not likely to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. We do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but will review this policy as circumstances dictate. Should we decide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiary. In addition, our operating subsidiary, from time to time, may be subject to restrictions on its ability to make distributions to us, including as a result of restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions.
 
Our common stock is illiquid and subject to price volatility unrelated to our operations.

The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of other companies in the same industry, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.

If our common stock becomes a “Penny Stock” under rules of the SEC, transactions in our common stock will become cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our common stock.

The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, includes rules relating to “penny stock” which apply generally to companies whose common stock trades at less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain limited exemptions. Such rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade “penny stock” to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade “penny stock” because of the requirements of the “penny stock rules” and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited.

We believe that our common stock is currently covered by an exemption from the “penny stock” rules based upon, among other things, the net tangible value of our assets. However, in the event that we no longer qualify under the exemption and our common stock is considered a “penny stock,” there may develop an adverse impact on the market, if any, for our securities. In that event investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities, in part, because it may be more difficult: (i) to obtain accurate quotations, (ii) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services, such as the Dow Jones News Service, generally do not publish press releases about such companies, and (iii) to obtain needed capital.

The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under our certificate of incorporation and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our Company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.

Our certificate of incorporation contains provisions which eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to our Company and stockholders to the maximum extent permitted under Nevada corporate law. Our By-laws also require us to indemnify our directors to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada corporate law. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our agreements with our directors, officers and employees. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our Company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors, officers and employees, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our Company from bringing a lawsuit against directors, officers and employees for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our stockholders against our directors, officers and employees even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our Company and stockholders.

The following table describes land used by the Company in connection with its business operations. The Company acquires land use right by two means, i.e., compensatory transfer and government assignment. A Compensatory transfer refers to situations in which the local Government designates a specified area of State owned land under stipulated terms and conditions (such as the duration of the transfer period and the nature of usage of the land) for development and operation by the transferee of the land use rights, for which the transferee is required to pay a transfer fee for the right to use the land. In a Government assignment, the local Government assigns a specified area of State owned land under stipulated terms and conditions (such as the nature of usage of the land) for development and operation by the transferee of the land use right, for which the transferee is ot required to pay compensation, and in connection with which, no transfer period is stipulated. In both compensatory transfers and government assignments, ownership of the land remains vested in the People’s Republic of China.

The following table sets forth the high and low prices of the Company’s common stock, as reported by the OTCBB for each quarter since January 1, 2007. All information has been adjusted to reflect a 1 for 100 share reverse stock split which occurred on May 12, 2006. The quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, markdown or commission, and may not represent actual transactions.

As of March 30, 2009, the last reported sale price of our common stock as reported on the OTCBB was $1.30 per share. As of March 30, 2009 there were 15,262,035 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, and there were approximately 237 holders of record of our outstanding shares.


The payment of dividends, if any, is to be within the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will be contingent upon the Company’s revenues and earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and the ability of Dongtai to obtain approval to get monies out of the PRC. The Company presently intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in its business operations and accordingly, the Board of Directors does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the near future.

As stipulated by the Company Law of the PRC as applicable to Chinese companies with foreign ownership, net income after taxation can only be distributed as dividends after appropriation has been made for the following:

Making up cumulative prior years’ losses, if any; allocations to the “Statutory surplus reserve” of at least 10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, until the fund amounts to 50% of the Company’s registered capital; allocations of 5 -10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations to the Company’s “Statutory common welfare fund”, which is established for the purpose of providing employee facilities and other collective benefits to the Company’s employees; and allocations to the discretionary surplus reserve, if approved in the shareholders’ general meeting.

Additionally, the PRC’s national currency, the Yuan, is not a freely convertible currency. Effective January 1, 1994, the PRC foreign exchange system underwent fundamental changes. This reform was stated to be in line with the PRC’s commitment to establish a socialist market economy and to lay the foundation for making the yuan convertible in the future. The currency reform is designed to turn the dual exchange rate system into a unified and managed floating exchange rate system.
 
22


A China Foreign Exchange Trading Centre was formed in April, 1994 to provide an interbank foreign exchange trading market whose main function is to facilitate the matching of long and short term foreign exchange positions of the state-designated banks, and to provide clearing and settlement services. The People’s Bank of China publishes the state managed exchange rate daily based on the daily average rate from the previous day’s inter-bank trading market, after considering fluctuations in the international foreign exchange markets. Based on these floating exchange rates, the state-designated banks list their own exchange rates within permitted margins, and purchase or sell foreign exchange with their customers.

The State Administration of Foreign Exchange of the PRC (“SAFE”) administers foreign exchange dealings and requires that they be transacted through designated financial institutions. All Foreign Investment Enterprises (“FIEs”) may buy and sell foreign currency from designated financial institutions in connection with current account transactions, including, but not limited to, profit repatriation. With respect to foreign exchange needed for capital account transactions, such as equity investments, all enterprises in the PRC (including FIEs) are required to seek approval of the SAFE to exchange yuan into foreign currency. When applying for approval, such enterprises will be subject to review by the SAFE as to the source and nature of the yuan funds.

There can be no assurance that the yuan relative to other currencies will not be volatile or that there will be no devaluation of the yuan against other foreign currencies, including the U.S. dollar.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMEN T'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto included in this report. Readers should also carefully review the risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this report under “Risk Factors.”
 
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. These include statements about our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future, which we indicate by words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “we believe,” “management believes” and similar language. The forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of management and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described elsewhere in this report under “Risk Factors.” Actual results may differ materially from results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. We base the forward-looking statements on information currently available to us, and we assume no obligation to update them. Investors are also advised to refer to the information in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in which we discuss in greater detail various important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historic results. It is not possible to foresee or identify all of the risks and uncertainties that could affect us.
 
OVERVIEW
 
Historically, the Company engaged in two lines of business: (a) the exploration and development of potential mining properties, and (b) the development, marketing and support of computer software products and services. In September 2004, the Company sold its computer business. Since September 2005, the Company has no longer been in the mining business due to its loss of all its contractual rights in certain mining properties in Spain.In November 2005, a Delaware corporation known as China Industrial Waste Management, Inc. (“CIWM Delaware”) acquired 90% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Dalian Dongtai Industrial Waste Treatment Co., Ltd. (“Dongtai”) from the shareholders of Dongtai in a reverse merger transaction in which the Dongtai shareholders became the owner of all of the issued and outstanding shares of CIWM Delaware. As a result of the reverse merger, Dongtai became a joint venture with foreign investment under the laws of the PRC, with a total registered and paid-in capital of $2.3 million. The exchange of shares with the Dongtai shareholders was accounted for as a reorganization between entities under common control with CIWM Delaware as the receiving entity, as prescribed by Appendix D of SFAS 141. The accounts of both entities were combined at their historical cost basis, resulting in no gain, loss, or goodwill. The combination was essentially a recapitalization of Dongtai.
 
On November 11, 2005, China Industrial Waste Management, Inc., a Nevada corporation (f/k/a Goldtech Mining Corporation) (“CIWM Nevada”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with CIWM Delaware and the shareholders of CIWM Delaware. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which closed on November 11, 2005, CIWM Delaware merged with and into CIWM Nevada’s wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary, DonTech. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, after the merger, CIWM Delaware ceased to exist and DonTech was the surviving company (and the owner of 90% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Dongtai). The merger of CIWM Delaware into DonTech was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting since the shareholders of CIWM Delaware obtained control of CIWM Nevada (the Company) by virtue of the merger. Accordingly, the merger was recorded as a recapitalization of CIWM Delaware, with DonTech being treated as the continuing entity. CIWM Nevada (the Company) currently owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of DonTech, which in turn, owns 90% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Dongtai.
 
Dongtai is engaged in the collection, treatment, disposal and recycling of industrial wastes principally in Dalian, China and surrounding areas in Liaoning Province, China. Dongtai provides waste disposal solutions to its more than 650 customers, including large multinational corporations, from facilities located in the Economic and Technological Development Zone, Dalian, PRC. Dongtai treats, disposes of and/or recycles many types of industrial wastes, and recycled waste products are sold to customers as raw material to produce chemical and metallurgy products. In addition, Dongtai treats or disposes of industrial waste through incineration, burial or water treatment; as well as provides a range of environmental protection services to its clients. Dongtai generates revenues from waste collection and disposal services, as well as from sales of valuable products and recycled commodities.
 
24

 
In addition to its waste collection and disposal operations, Dongtai participates in the operation of the following waste disposal and environmental protection projects, which are expected to contribute to revenues in future periods:
 
· 
Dongtai Water Recycling Co. Ltd (“Dongtai Water”), a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) project established to process municipal sewage generated by Dalian. The project has entered into commercial operation since June 21, 2008. Dongtai owns 80% of the equity of this project.
 
· 
Dalian Zhuorui Resource Recycling Co., Ltd. (“Zhuorui”), which is 70% owned by Dongtai, engages in plasma arc melting, separation and purification of waste catalysts, treatment of industrial wastes and comprehensive utilization of waste catalysts or similar material. As of December 31, 2008, the project was in the facility commissioning stage.
 
· 
Dalian Lipp Environmental Energy Engineering & Technology Co., Ltd. (“Dalian Lipp”), is a joint venture, and Dongtai owns 75% of the interest. Dalian Lipp designs, manufactures and installs environmental protection equipment and renewable energy equipment and provides related technical services. The project is based on the Lipp tank building technique, and is dedicated to generating energy by organic waste anaerobic fermentation, and industrial effluent and municipal sewage treatment plant.
 
In order to provide sufficient infrastructure to meet the increasing demand for waste treatment and disposal, an expansion project is now underway to significantly increase Dongtai’s capacity for waste treatment and disposal. The expansion project, which is one of the fifty-five hazardous waste treatment centers sponsored by the National Development and Reform Commission and one of the two centers in Liaoning Province, commenced construction at the end of July, 2008. Construction of the incineration plant has been completed and on-site construction will resume in mid-March 2009 after the winter break. The Company expects the project to be operational by September 2009.
 
Our business strategy is aimed at increasing revenue and earnings through profitable growth and improving returns on invested capital. The components of our strategy include: (1) placing emphasis on the commercialization of solid waste treatment; (2) our expansion into municipal sewage and sludge treatment BOT projects; (3) managing our businesses locally with a strong operations focus on customer service; (4) entering into new geographic markets in China; and (5) maintaining our financial capacity and effective administrative systems and controls to support on-going operations and future growth. We are evaluating growth in our solid waste treatment operations through opportunities to cooperate with prominent domestic or overseas partners and attempt to integrate customer groups (for example, the refinery industry), to realize resource optimization.
 
We also plan to seek new BOT projects and acquire interests in existing projects, as we believe they can provide us with stable revenues and cash inflows. Furthermore, we believe that a well-operated BOT project will gain attention and social recognition from the local government and business community, which may, in turn, provide additional business opportunities in the Dalian metropolitan area.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We have disclosed in Note 3 to our financial statements those accounting policies that we consider to be significant in determining our results of operations and our financial position which are incorporated by reference herein.

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories and warranty obligations, on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. The actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
25


The significant accounting policies which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when services are rendered to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as deferred sales.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which are not considered improvements and do not extend the useful life of PP&E, are expensed as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When PP&E are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.

Bad Debts  

The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Payment terms of sales vary from cash on delivery through a credit term of up to nine to twelve months.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this annual report.

Revenues

We generate revenue primarily from two sources, namely, fees charged to customers for waste collection, transfer, recycling and disposal services and that from the sale of recycled commodities. We consider our collection and disposal operations and reclamation of reusable substances as our core business.

Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008, was $13,399,884, an increase of $3,860,377 or 40.47% from $9,539,507 for the same period in 2007. The increase in revenue is attributable to a broadened customer base and increased demand from existing customers.

Service fee revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $8,182,379 which was 61.06% of total revenue for this year and an increase of $3,177,453 or 63.49% increase over the $5,004,926 in service fee revenue we generated in the year ended December 31, 2007. Service fee accounted for 52.47% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007. Besides the positive influence of a broadened customer base and increased demand from existing customers, Dongtai Water’s commencement of commercial operation since June 2008 also contributed approximately $ 447,630 to the increase of service fee.

Sales of cupric sulfate for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $ 1,806,721 or 13.48% of total revenue, which was a slight decrease over that of 2007. Due to the global economic recession, the price of copper and copper compounds, such as cupric sulfate, decreased sharply in 2008, which caused the sales decrease.

Sales of recycled products were $3,410,783 or 25.45% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008. Sales of recycled products in 2008 increased by $694,063 or 25.55% over the year ended December 31, 2007.

Cost of Revenues

Costs of revenues primarily include labor expenses (salaries, benefits, insurance and other benefits), depreciation, materials, transportation costs, rent, repair costs and other sundry expenses. Costs of revenue increased by $1,377,723 or 49.61% from $2,776,921 for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $4,154,644 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Costs related to producing recycled waste products (including cupric sulfate and other recycled commodities) increased by $1,081,095 or 70.85% from $1,525,872 for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $2,606,967 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $ 3,544,022 which represents a decrease of $58,806 or 9.4% from $3,602,828 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

In 2007, the Company settled certain legal proceedings in consideration for the payment to the plaintiff of cash and shares of common stock of the Company. While the cash and shares were delivered by a third party, in accordance with US GAAP, the consideration for the settlement was accounted for as expenses, amounting to $860,460
 
Excluding the legal settlement in 2007, operating expense of 2008 in fact increased by $ 801,654 compared to that of 2007. Together with the strong revenue growth resulted from business expansions, extra expenses, such as personnel addition, intensified marketing activities, were incurred accordingly. Besides that, starting 2008, the Company obtained professional services in areas such as investor relations, press release, and consultings, which resulted in the increase of operating expenses.

Other Income

In December 2008, Dongtai received tax refund from the Local Taxation Bureau of ETD Zone, Dalian, with the amount of RMB 4,504,974 (approximately $648,412). The refund is to return business tax levied on waste treatment and disposal services for the period of January 2006 to May 2008. Since June 2008, Dongtai is not subject to business tax for waste treatment and disposal services any more. Within the same month, Dongtai also received a subsidy from Dalian Municipal Bureau of Finance, with the amount of RMB 355,000 (approximately $51,096), to compensate the service rendered by Dongtai related with the treatment and disposal of hazardous waste generated by public environment pollution accident.

Income Tax

The Company pursues most of its business in PRC, and so is subject to the PRC Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) at a rate of 25% on its net income.

According to PRC EIT Law, any joint venture with foreign investment will get EIT exemption treatment for the first two years and reduced tax rates of 9%, 10% and 11% for the third, fourth and fifth years, respectively. As a foreign investment enterprise, Dongtai is subject to EIT at 9% for the year ended December 31, 2008, which amounted to $659,853.

Furthermore, the Law stipulates that enterprises that engage in municipal waste water treatment business are eligible for special EIT treatment. According to such rules, Dongtai Water is entitled to a three-year EIT exemption treatment starting whenever it receives the first operation revenue, and another 50% off of the normal rate for the next three years. For the year ended December 31, 2008, Dongtai Water is in its first year of the tax holiday.
As of December 31, 2008, Zhuorui and Dalian Lipp were in an accumulated loss status with no EIT obligation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. As of December 31, 2008, we incurred a working capital deficiency of $0.30 million as compared to a surplus of $2.35 million as of December 31, 2007, resulting from the expansion project of Dongtai, the construction and equipment procurement for the establishment of Dongtai Water and Zhuorui in 2008.

On an on-going basis, we take steps to identify and plan our needs for liquidity and capital resources, to fund our planned ongoing construction and day to day business operations. In addition to working capital to support our routine activities, we will also require funds for the construction and upgrading of crucial facilities, acquisition of assets and/or equity, and repayment of debt.

We anticipate that our various projects will require us to invest an aggregate of approximately RMB 90 million (approximately $13 million) in 2009. We will fund this investment through a combination of net cash flow from operation funds, bank loans and sales of our securities. While we anticipate that we will be able to secure necessary funding as and when needed, there is no assurance that such will be the case. If we are unable to secure funding as and when needed, our projects may be delayed which may, in turn, cause delays in generating revenues from the affected projects, and may reduce our profitability.

As of December 31, 2008, approximately $ 3.4million of our cash reserves are in the form of RMB held in bank accounts at financial institutions located in the PRC. The value of cash on deposit in China at December 31, 2008 has been translated based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2008. In 1996, Chinese government introduced regulations which relaxed restrictions on the conversion of the RMB; however restrictions still remain, including but not limited to restrictions on foreign invested entities. Foreign invested entities may only buy, sell or remit foreign currencies after providing valid commercial documents at only those banks authorized to conduct foreign exchanges. Furthermore, the conversion of RMB for capital account items, including direct investments and loans, is subject to PRC government approval. Chinese entities are required to establish and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items. We cannot be certain Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose more stringent restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB, especially with respect to foreign exchange transactions. Accordingly, cash on deposit in banks in the PRC is not readily deployable by us for purposes outside of China.

As of December 31, 2008, we incurred a working capital deficiency of $ 0.30 million as compared to a surplus of $2.35 million as of December 31, 2007. This decrease in working capital is primarily attributable to the sharp increase of construction projects payable by $ 4.7 million, which results from the unpaid part of constructions and equipments for the establishment of Dongtai Water and Zhuorui. The increase of short-term loan, approximately 2 million, also contributed to the decrease of working capital.

Our current assets as of December 31, 2008 increased by $5.53 million, or approximately 98%, from December 31, 2007 and reflects increase in items including cash and cash equivalents, account receivable, inventory. Our current liabilities increased by approximately $8.17 million, or approximately 248%, as of December 31, 2008 from December 31, 2007. This reflects increases in short-term loans, accounts payable, deferred sales, construction projects payable, and other payables.

Our accounts receivables, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, increased approximately $1.82 million as of December 31, 2008 year over year. This increase is directly attributed to the increase in revenue.

Inventories increased approximately 78% as of December 31, 2008 from the prior period. This resulted from an increase in recycled products and raw materials.

As of December 31, 2008, outstanding loans, which were secured, and will mature in 2009, amounted to RMB23, 000,000 ($3,371,198). The loans were acquired to fund day to day business activities. Due to significantly increased capital spending requirement, the Company acquired additional loans from banks.

During 2008, the Company completed construction of Dongtai Water facility, and substantially completed Zhourui construction project.   Over the course of the construction, the Company accrued all costs associated with the projects and as of December 31, 2008, the balance owed to these suppliers totaled RMB 32,947,133(US$4,742,164). The payment schedules for these suppliers are not fixed and therefore the entire amount has been classified as construction projects payable in current liabilities.

Net cash provided by operating activities :     Net cash provided by operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2008 increased by $ 254,258 or 5.5% over the net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Although the net income for the year ended December 31, 2008 rose by $ 1,066,894, or 29% comparing to that of 2007, the balance of account receivable as at December 31, 2008 rose by 306%, as compared to that of December 31, 2007, which led to a sharp decrease of $ 1,821,570 to the net cash provided by operating activities. Besides, the inventory balance also increased by 78%, which caused a decrease of $ 1,039,865 to the net cash provided by operating activities. As the global financial crisis brought down the prices for some of the Company’s products.

In 2008, Dalian Lipp signed an agreement with Shenzhen Dongjiang Environmental Company Limited (“Shenzhen Dongjiang”), pursuant to which Dalian Lipp is to purchases lipp anaerobic fermentation systems from Lipp GmbH. As of December 31, 2008, Shenzhen Dongjiang has paid an aggregate of $512,938 to Dalian Lipp, according to the payment schedule.

Net cash used in investing activities :   Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased by $898,707 as compared to the same period in 2007.

In 2008, Dongtai’s expansion project, Dongtai Water and Zhuorui’s facility construction were continued. As of December 31, 2008, the expansion project of Dongtai was still in progress; Dongtai Water had commenced operations since June 2008; Zhuorui entered into the phase of commissioning. Cash outflows resulting from capital spending on the three projects comprised the major part of the cash used in investing activities.

The increase in accounts receivable is attributable to the related party loans made to Dongtai Organic by Dongtai.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities :   Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased by $3,482,158 as compared to the same period in 2007.

In 2008, the Company accomplished three rounds of private placement, and raised aggregately $ 3,545,057 as equity capital after deducting services fees paid to lawyers, investment banks, etc. $750,000 of the capital raised was temporarily frozen in an escrow account until specific terms in the investment agreement are met.

In 2008, the Company acquired additional loan from banks to fund day to day operating activities. The cash inflow from bank loans increased by $ 687,101 comparing to that of 2007.

On a continuous basis, we emphasize on the management and forecast of our liquidity and various capital resources, to fund our planned ongoing construction and day to day business operations. On top of the cash needs for working capitals fueling our routine activities, we also brace for the capital requirements for: the construction and upgrading of crucial facilities; acquisitions of assets and equities; repaying the loans, all of which are set to strengthen our position in the industry in the long run.

· 
Any obligation under certain guarantee contracts;
 
· 
Any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to that entity for such assets;

  ITEM 9A (T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Our management team, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of the last day of the fiscal period covered by this report, December 31, 2008. The term disclosure controls and procedures means our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2008.
 
Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Management is required to base its assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on a suitable, recognized control framework, such as the framework developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO). The COSO framework, published in Internal Control-Integrated Framework , is known as the COSO Report. Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have chosen the COSO framework on which to base its assessment. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.
 
This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only Management’s report in this annual report on Form 10-K.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last quarter of 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
 
LACK OF INDEPENDENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND AUDIT COMMITTEE

Management is aware that an audit committee composed of the requisite number of independent members along with a qualified financial expert has not yet been established.  Considering the costs associated with procuring and providing the infrastructure to support an independent audit committee and the limited number of transactions, Management has concluded that the risks associated with the lack of an independent audit committee are not justified.  Management will periodically reevaluate this situation.

LACK OF SEGREGATION OF DUTIES

Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at the Company due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters. However, at this time management has decided that considering the abilities of the employees now involved and the control procedures in place, the risks associated with such lack of segregation are low and the potential benefits of adding employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the substantial expenses associated with such increases. Management will periodically reevaluate this situation.

Committees of the Board

Our Board of Directors has not established any committees of the Board, including an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee or a Nominating Committee, or any committee performing similar functions.  The functions of those committees are currently performed by the Board of Directors as a whole. Our Board of Directors intends to increase the size of the Board in the near term, and to add directors who qualify as “independent” as that term is used in Item 3(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. At that time, the Board is expected to consider establishing an audit committee and other committees of the Board. In connection with a private placement of our securities, we agreed to establish a board of directors, a majority of whose members will be “independent” within the meaning of NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(15). $650,000 from the proceeds of the placement remains in escrow pending satisfaction of this commitment

Policy Regarding Shareholder Recommendations for Directors

Our Board of Directors has not yet adopted a policy for the consideration of director nominees that may recommended by our shareholders. To date, we have not received any shareholder recommendations for directors. At such time as our Board of Directors includes independent directors, our Board expects to consider the establishment of a nominating committee and that committee is expected to consider policies relating to the consideration of director nominees recommended by shareholders

Audit Committee Financial Expert
 
In general, an “audit committee financial expert” is an individual member of the audit committee or Board of Directors who:
 
· 
  Understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements,
 
· 
  Is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves,
 
· 
  Has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to our financial statements,
 
· 
  Understands internal controls over financial reporting, and
 
· 
  Understands audit committee functions.

An “audit committee financial expert” may acquire the foregoing attributes through:

· 
Education and experience as a principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, public accountant, auditor or person serving similar functions;
 
· 
Experience actively supervising a principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, public accountant, auditor or person serving similar functions; experience overseeing or assessing the performance of companies or public accounts with respect to the preparation, auditing or evaluation of financial statements; or
 
· 
Other relevant experience.
 
33

 
At the present time, we believe that Mr. Dong, our CEO and a director, and Ms. Guo Xin, our CFO and a director, are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. However, as we do not currently have an audit committee, we do not currently have an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined under Rule 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. Neither Mr. Dong nor Ms. Guo is “independent” as that term is used in Item 3(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Com pliance

We are not currently subject to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and, therefore, our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of our common stock are not required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission reports disclosing their initial beneficial ownership and changes in their beneficial ownership of our common stock.

Code of Ethics

A Code of Ethics is a written standard designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

· 
  Honest and ethical conduct,
 
· 
  Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in regulatory filings and public statements,
 
· 
  Compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations,
 
· 
  The prompt reporting violation of the code, and
 
· 
  Accountability for adherence to the Code of Ethics.

The executives of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to be granted awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance shares, cash awards and other stock based awards under our 2006 Equity Compensation Plan. As of December 31, 2008 no awards had been made to any officer, director or employee of the Company under such plan.

Employment Agreements

We are not a party to any written employment agreements. The compensation paid to our executive officers is currently determined by our Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors may have a conflict of interest in that they have a direct interest in the compensation to be paid. At the present time, we do not believe that the amount of compensation paid, either individually or in the aggregate, is material in relation to our revenues earnings or to our financial condition.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign currency translation

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the accounts of the Company were maintained, and the consolidated financial statements were expressed in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”). Such consolidated financial statements were translated into U.S. dollars (“USD”) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation” with RMB as the functional currency. According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date; stockholders’ equity was translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions; Revenues, costs, and expenses were translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash on deposit, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

Restricted cash

In accordance with Accounting Review Board (ARB) No. 43, Chapter 3A “Current Assets and Current Liabilities”, cash which is restricted as to withdrawal is considered a non-current asset. Restricted cash consists of $750,000, which is held in a separate escrow account as required by a group of investors, and $73,287, a term deposit in Bank of Dalian, with maturity date on June 11, 2009.

Accounts and other receivables

Accounts and other receivables are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed. Allowance for uncollectible accounts as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 is $12,132 and $9,776, respectively. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Payment terms of sales vary from cash on delivery through a credit term of up to nine to twelve months.

Concentration of credit risks

The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily from cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains accounts with financial institutions, which at times exceeds the insured Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of $250,000. The Company minimizes its credit risks associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institutions.

Advances to suppliers

The Company makes advances to certain vendors for purchase of its material or equipment. The advances to suppliers are interest free and unsecured.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, as determined on a first-in, first-out basis for raw materials and auxiliary materials, and weighted average basis for other categories, or market. Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value, and allowance is made for writing down the inventories to their market value, if lower.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which are not considered improvements and do not extend the useful life of PP&E, are expensed as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When PP&E are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.
 
F-8

 
CHINA INDUSTRIAL WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008

Depreciation is provided to recognize the cost of PP&E in the results of operations. The Company calculates depreciation using the straight-line method with estimated useful life as follows:

   
Useful Life
Buildings
 
20 Years
Machinery
 
10 Years
Vehicles
 
5 Years
Office equipment
 
5 Years

Construction in progress consists of construction expenditure, equipment procurement, capitalized interest expense, relevant miscellaneous expenditures, and other costs.

As of December 31, 2008, construction in progress contains two principal components; one is the costs incurred by Dongtai for the newly built incineration system that is located in Dagu Hill, ETD Zone, Dalian, including designing and building of the incinerator, construction of its supporting facilities, and miscellaneous fees. The other component is payment for equipments for Zhuorui, including plasma furnace, flue gas cleansing system, dust trapper, and other corollary equipment, which are now in the installation and testing phase. Construction in progress includes capitalized interest of $75,909 and $77,353 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Landfills

Various costs that we incur to make a landfill ready to accept waste are capitalized. These costs generally include expenditures for land, permitting, excavation, liner material and installation and other capital infrastructure costs. The cost basis of our landfill assets also includes estimates of future costs associated with landfill final capping, closure and post-closure activities in accordance with SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations and its Interpretations”

Interest accretion on final capping, closure and post-closure liabilities is recorded using the effective interest method and is recorded as accretion expense, which is included our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The amortizable basis of a landfill includes (i) amounts previously expended and capitalized; (ii) capitalized landfill final capping, closure and post-closure costs; (iii) projections of future purchase and development costs required to develop the landfill site to its remaining permitted and expansion capacity; and (iv) projected asset retirement costs related to landfill final capping, closure and post-closure activities.

Amortization is recorded on a units-of-consumption basis, applying cost as a rate per ton. The rate per ton is calculated by dividing each component of the amortizable basis of a landfill by the number of tons needed to fill the corresponding asset’s airspace.

Liabilities for landfill and environmental remediation costs are presented in the table below:
 
   
December 31,
2008

Long-term Liability
  $ 502,278     $ 437,619  

Long-term investment

Long-term investments are recorded under the equity method. Dongtai Organic is constructing and was organized to operate a municipal sludge treatment and disposal facility in Dalian, PRC. The Company currently owns 49% of Dongtai Organic.

Impairment of long-lived assets
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (SFAS No.144), certain assets such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangibles, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Intangible assets are tested for impairment annually. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were no events or changes in circumstances that necessitated a review of impairment of long lived assets as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

CHINA INDUSTRIAL WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008

Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of “Rights to use land and build a plant” for 50 years and intellectual property. The intangible assets are amortized using straight – line method. The Company also evaluates intangible assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets, other long-lived assets and, goodwill is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors, including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, net land usage right was $1,817,427 and $1,732,074 respectively.

Minority interest

Minority interest represents the minority owners’10% equity interest in Dongtai, 20% equity interest in Dongtai Water, 30% equity interest in Zhuorui and 25% equity interest in Dalian Lipp.
 
Fair value of financial instruments

SFAS No.107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, requires that the Company discloses estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Revenue recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104. Our revenues are generated from the fees we charge for waste collection, transfer, treatment, disposal and recycling services and the sale of recycled commodities. The fees charged for our services are generally defined in our service agreements and vary based on contract specific terms such as frequency of service, weight, volume and the general market factors influencing industry’s rates. We generally recognize revenue as services are rendered or products are delivered.

Deferred sales consist of contracts for which the fees have been collected but revenue has not yet been recognized in accordance with the revenue recognition policy. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007 deferred sales amounted to $972,143 and $667,389, respectively.

Advertising costs

The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred or, as appropriate, the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were immaterial.

Stock-based compensation 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No.123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, which prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights. SFAS No. 123(R) requires compensation expense to be recorded using the fair value method.
 
Income taxes
 
The Company utilizes SFAS No.109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Local PRC income tax

The Company is subject to the PRC Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) at a rate of 25% on its net income. According to PRC EIT Law, any joint venture with foreign investment will get EIT exemption treatment for the first two years and reduced tax rates of 9%, 10% and 11% for the third, fourth and fifth years, respectively. As a foreign investment enterprise, Dongtai is subject to EIT at 9% for the year ended December 31, 2008. Furthermore, the Law stipulates that enterprises that engage in municipal waste water treatment business are eligible for special EIT treatment. According to such rules, Dongtai Water is entitled to a three-year EIT exemption treatment starting whenever it receives the first operation revenue, and another 50% off of the normal rate for the next three years. For the year ended December 31, 2008, Dongtai Water is in its first year of the tax exemption.

Statement of cash flows

In accordance with SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows” cash flows from the Company’s operations is calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, 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.

Basic and diluted net earnings per share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2007 financial statements to conform to the 2008 presentation.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets

In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position on Financial Accounting Standard (“FSP FAS”) No. 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets.” This FSP amends FASB Statement No. 132(R) (“SFAS No. 132(R)”), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits,” to provide guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. FSP FAS No. 132(R)-1 also includes a technical amendment to SFAS No. 132(R) that requires a nonpublic entity to disclose net periodic benefit cost for each annual period for which a statement of income is presented. The required disclosures about plan assets are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009.  The technical amendment was effective upon issuance of FSP FAS No. 132(R)-1. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FSP FAS No. 132(R)-1 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Effective Date of FASB Interpretation No. 48 for Certain Nonpublic Enterprises

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FIN No. 48-3, “Effective Date of FASB Interpretation No. 48 for Certain Nonpublic Enterprises.” FSP FIN No. 48-3 defers the effective date of FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” for certain nonpublic enterprises as defined in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” However, nonpublic consolidated entities of public enterprises that apply U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) are not eligible for the deferral.   FSP FIN No. 48-3 was effective upon issuance. The impact of adoption was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 140-4 and FIN No. 46(R) -8, “Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities.” This FSP amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” to require public entities to provide additional disclosures about transfers of financials assets.  FSP FAS No. 140-4 also amends FIN No. 46(R)-8, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” to require public enterprises, including sponsors that have a variable interest entity, to provide additional disclosures about their involvement with a variable interest entity. FSP FAS No. 140-4 also requires certain additional disclosures, in regards to variable interest entities, to provide greater transparency to financial statement users. FSP FAS No. 140-4 is effective for the first reporting period (interim or annual) ending after December 15, 2008, with early application encouraged.
