The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Unless the content otherwise requires, all references to “we,” “us,” the “Company” or “China Ruitai” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refers to China Ruitai International Holdings Co., Ltd.

CHINA RUITAI INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
 
1. 
ORGANIZATION AND DISCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
China Ruitai International Holdings Co., Ltd. (“China Ruitai” or the “Company”) was initially organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 15, 1955 as Inland Mineral Resources Corp. The Company subsequently changed its name to Parker-Levitt Corporation, and in 1997 changed its name to Commercial Property Corporation, and in 2006 changed its name to Shandong Ruitai Chemical Co., Ltd. On March 12, 2007, the Company changed its name to China Ruitai International Holdings Co., Ltd. On February 26, 2007, the Company changed its fiscal year end from October 31 to December 31.
 
On August 29, 2007, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Pacific Capital Group Co., Ltd., (“Pacific Capital Group”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Vanuatu, and the stockholders of Pacific Capital Group (the “Stockholders”). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Stockholders agreed to transfer all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock in Pacific Capital Group to the Company in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 22,645,348 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Stockholders, thereby causing Pacific Capital Group to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and TaiAn RuiTai Cellulose Co., Ltd. (“TaiAn Ruitai”), Pacific Capital Group’s majority-owned operating subsidiary, a Chinese limited liability company, to become a majority owned subsidiary of the Company. The parties closed the share exchange contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement on November 8, 2007.
 
Pacific Capital Group was incorporated on November 23, 2006 under the laws of the Republic of Vanuatu as a holding company, for the purposes of seeking and consummating a merger or acquisition with a business entity.  On April 26, 2007, following the approval by the relevant governmental authorities in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), Pacific Capital Group acquired a 99% ownership interest in TaiAn Ruitai, which was formed in the PRC on November 10, 1999 with registered capital of $2,391,840. As a result of the transaction, TaiAn Ruitai became a 99% majority-owned subsidiary of Pacific Capital Group.
 
TaiAn Ruitai is the only one of these affiliated companies that is engaged in business operations. China RuiTai and Pacific Capital Group are holding companies, whose business is to hold an equity ownership interest in TaiAn Ruitai. TaiAn Ruitai is engaged in the production, sales, and exportation of deeply processed chemicals, with a primary focus on non-ionic cellulose ether products. TaiAn Ruitai’s assets exist solely in the PRC, and its revenues are derived from its operations therein.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of presentation

The consolidated interim financial information as of June 30, 2010 and for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to provide for fair presentation.  The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, previously filed with the SEC.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2010, its consolidated results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 and its cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

Principle of consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include China Ruitai International Co., Ltd., Pacific Capital Group Co., Ltd. and TaiAn RuiTai Cellulose Co., Ltd. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Management evaluates the estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to accounts receivable and useful lives of property and equipment, fair values of warrants to purchase our common stock, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
 
Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-09 to amend ASC 855, Subsequent Events. As a result of the ASU, SEC registrants will not disclose the date through which management evaluated subsequent events in the financial statements - either in originally issued financial statements or reissued financial statements. This change addresses practice issues for SEC registrants with respect to processes around issuing financial statements and SEC registration requirements (e.g., incorporation by reference of previously issued financial statements).

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.  The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  Earlier application is permitted.  The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

The FASB issued ASU 2010-17, Revenue Recognition - Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition.  This ASU codifies the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 08-9, “Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition.” The amendments to the Codification provide guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions. Consideration that is contingent on achievement of a milestone in its entirety may be recognized as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone is judged to meet certain criteria to be considered substantive. Milestones should be considered substantive in their entirety and may not be bifurcated. An arrangement may contain both substantive and nonsubstantive milestones, and each milestone should be evaluated individually to determine if it is substantive.

ASU 2010-17 is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year, the entity should apply 2010-17 retrospectively from the beginning of the year of adoption. Vendors may also elect to adopt the amendments in this ASU retrospectively for all prior periods. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-19 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company

ASU 2010-18, Receivables (Topic 310): Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset, codifies the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 09-I, “Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset.” The amendments to the Codification provide that modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool under Subtopic 310-30 do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification of those loans would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. An entity will continue to be required to consider whether the pool of assets in which the loan is included is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. ASU 2010-18 does not affect the accounting for loans under the scope of Subtopic 310-30 that are not accounted for within pools. Loans accounted for individually under Subtopic 310-30 continue to be subject to the troubled debt restructuring accounting provisions within Subtopic 310-40.

ASU 2010-18 is effective prospectively for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. Upon initial adoption of ASU 2010-18, an entity may make a one-time election to terminate accounting for loans as a pool under Subtopic 310-30. This election may be applied on a pool-by-pool basis and does not preclude an entity from applying pool accounting to subsequent acquisitions of loans with credit deterioration. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-18 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company

In May 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-19, Foreign Currency (Topic 830): Foreign Currency Issues: Multiple Foreign Currency Exchange Rates.  The amendments in this Update are effective as of the announcement date of March 18, 2010. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-19 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

The Company has a deferred tax asset on net operating losses of approximately $184,280 as of June 30, 2010. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those net operating losses are available. The Company considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making its assessment. At present, the Company does not have sufficient operations in the United States to conclude that it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be able to realize all of its tax benefits in the near future and therefore a valuation allowance of $184,280 was established for the full value of the deferred tax asset.
 
A valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal of any portion or all of the valuation allowance. Should the Company start operations in the United States in future periods with supportable trends, the valuation allowance will be reversed accordingly.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Results of Operations
 
The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and related Notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
 
Results of Operations for the Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to the Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2009
 
Revenue
 
Revenue.  During the six month period ended June 30, 2010, we had revenues of $21,409,431 compared to revenues of $16,694,963 during the six month period ended June 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 28.2%. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to: (i) the general improvement in the global economy which stimulated the domestic and global demand for cellulose ethers, and the increase in demand was reflected in the first and the second quarter of 2010; and (ii) the offer of stable and cheaper prices in a period of increasing costs in raw materials was well received by our customers. Our customer base is increasing at a higher rate and our sales revenue increased as a result of new customer orders.
 
Cost of Sales.  During the six month period ended June 30, 2010, our cost of sales was $15,152,439 compared to costs of sales of $10,482,604 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 44.6%. This increase in cost of sales resulted primarily from the increase of sales and an overall increase in the costs of raw materials, particularly ginned cotton and chloromethane
 
Operating Expenses
 
Our operating expenses are divided into selling expenses and general and administrative expenses, both of which are discussed below:
 
Selling Expenses.  Selling expenses, which consist of sales commissions, freight charges, travel and other selling expenses, totaled $889,385 for the six month period ended June 30,2010, compared to the selling expenses of $733,971 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 21.2%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in freight charges as a result of the increase in sales.
 
13

 
General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses totaled $500,110 for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1,498,970 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of approximately 66.6%. The main reason for the decrease was due to we collected quite a few advance to suppliers and accounts receivable which were perceived as bad debt during last year. This was also the results of management increased their control in accounts receivable and advance to suppliers.
 
Income From Operations
 
For the six month period ended June 30, 2010, our income from operations was $4,867,497 compared to income from operations of $3,979,418 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 22.3%. This increase was primarily attributable to a decrease in operating expenses and an increase in sales.
 
Commercial Leasing Income and cost
 
Rental income was from a newly acquired commercial property in Beijing. On December 31, 2009, we entered into a Set-Off agreement with our related party, Shandong Ruitai Chemicals Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Ruitai”).  TaiAn, our subsidiary, agreed to allow Shandong Ruitai to satisfy a total of $31,745,649 in debt owed by Shandong Ruitai in return for Shandong Ruitai’s transfer of 100% of its ownership interest in real property located in Beijing, China, commonly known as Taishan Building or Building No. 36, Xibahe Dongli, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China (the “Taishan Building”). As a result, starting in the first quarter of 2010, the Taishan Building has generated rental income of $614,957 for the six month period ended June 30, 2010.
 
Interest Income
 
For the six month period ended June 30, 2010, our interest income was $566,612 compared to interest income of $924,916 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of approximately $358,304, or 38.7%. This decrease resulted primarily from the full repayment of the loan from our related party, Shandong Ruitai, on December 31, 2009, which reduced interest income from related parties.
 
Interest Expense
 
For the six month period ended June 30, 2010, we incurred interest expense in the amount of $1,129,097 compared to interest expense of $1,249,082 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of approximately 9.6%. The decrease in interest expense resulted primarily from the decrease in the weighted average interest charged on a short-term loan.
 
Income Tax Expense
 
Our income tax expense was $1,123,378 for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to $871,551 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $251,827, or approximately 28.9%.  This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in profits before income taxes and minority interest.
 
Net Income
 
We had net income of $3,390,148 for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to $2,614,653 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $775,495, or approximately 29.7%.  This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in sales revenue and a decrease in general and administrative expenses.

Results of Operations for the Three Month Period Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to the Three Month Period Ended June 30, 2009
 
Revenue
 
Revenue.  During the three month period ended June 30, 2010, we had revenues of $11,171,175 compared to revenues of $8,463,783 during the three month period ended June 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 32%. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to: (i) the general improvement in the global economy, which stimulated the domestic and global demand for cellulose ethers; (ii) we offered a comparatively stable and cheaper sales price to our customers while our cost of raw materials increased dramatically. As a result of implementing the new competitive pricing strategy, we gained an additional 330 customers, which further contributed to the increase in our revenue; and (iii) the demand for our products in the construction industry was strong in the second quarter of 2010. Revenue increased a lot for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 compared with the three month period ended June 30, 2009. The pharmaceutical sector and PVC sector revenue increased 28.4% and 38.6%, respectively.
 
Cost of Sales.  During the three month period ended June 30, 2010, our cost of sales was $8,222,567 compared to costs of sales of $5,506,063 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 49.3%. This increase in cost of sales resulted primarily from the increase of sales and an overall increase in the costs of raw materials, in which ginned cotton doubled its price and chloromethane increased its price per ton by 225%.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Our operating expenses are divided into selling expenses and general and administrative expenses, both of which are discussed below:
 
Selling Expenses.  Selling expenses, which consist of sales commissions, freight charges, travel and other selling expenses, totaled $530,310 for the three month period ended June 30, 2010, compared to the selling expenses of $444,994 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 19.2%. This increase results primarily from an increase of freight charge due to the increase in sales.
 
General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses totaled $215,858 for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to $683,737 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of approximately 68.4%. The main reason for the decrease was due to the collection of quite a few advances to suppliers and accounts receivable which were perceived as bad debt during last year. This was also the result of management increasing their control in accounts receivable and advances to suppliers.
 
Income From Operations
 
For the three month period ended June 30, 2010, our income from operations was $2,202,440 compared to income from operations of $1,828,989 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 20.4%. This increase was primarily attributable to a decrease in operating expenses and an increase in sales.
 
Commercial Leasing Income and cost
 
Rental income was from a newly acquired commercial property in Beijing. On December 31, 2009, we entered into a Set-Off agreement with our related party, Shandong Ruitai.  TaiAn, our subsidiary, agreed to allow Shandong Ruitai to satisfy a total of $31,745,649 in debt owed by Shandong Ruitai in return for Shandong Ruitai’s transfer of 100% of its ownership interest in real property located in Beijing, China, commonly known as Taishan Building. As a result, starting in the first quarter of 2010, the Taishan Building has generated rental income of $311,774 for the three month period ended June 30, 2010.
 
Interest Income
 
For the three month period ended June 30, 2010, our interest income was $175,432 compared to interest income of $382,513 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of approximately $207,081, or 54%. First, this decrease resulted primarily from the full repayment of the loan from the related party, Shandong Ruitai, on December 31, 2009, which reduced interest income. Second, the decrease of interest income is partially offset by the additional interest income generated from the bank deposit.

Interest Expense
 
For the three month period ended June 30, 2010, we incurred interest expense in the amount of $550,610 compared to interest expense of $483,531 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 13.9%. The increase in interest expense resulted primarily from the increase of the short loan for the three month period ended June 30, 2010.

The decrease in inventories from 2010 to 2009 was the result of an increase in demand for our products along with the improvement in the economy. In addition, we established a separate inventory management department which monitors and improves the inventory control efficiency.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We anticipate that the existing cash and cash equivalents on hand, together with the net cash flows generated from our business activities, will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for our on-going projects and to sustain the business operations for the next twelve months.
