Basis of presentation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.  These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2009 and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K of Yuhe International, Inc. filed on March 31, 2010.  The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.

Organization and Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
Yuhe International, Inc.
 
Yuhe International, Inc., formerly known as First Growth Investors, Inc., “Yuhe” or “the Company”, was originally organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 9, 1997. Prior to its business combination with Bright Stand, the Company was not engaged in any business activities and had no operations, income producing assets or significant operating capital. At December 31, 2007, the Company was at development stage until its business combination with Bright Stand on March 12, 2008.
 
On March 12, 2008, the Company completed a reverse acquisition transaction with Bright Stand International Limited, “Bright Stand”, and Kunio Yamamoto, a Japanese person and the sole former shareholder of Bright Stand.
 
This share exchange transaction resulted in Bright Stand’s former shareholder obtaining a majority voting interest in the Company. Generally accepted accounting principles require that the company whose shareholders retain the majority interest in a combined business be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes, resulting in a reverse acquisition with Bright Stand as the accounting acquirer and Yuhe International Inc. as the acquired party. Accordingly, the share exchange transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company.

Organization and Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements – continued

Bright Stand International Limited, “Bright Stand”
 
On August 3, 2007, Bright Stand International Limited, “Bright Stand”, was incorporated with limited liability in the British Virgin Islands. On January 31, 2008, Bright Stand International Limited completed the acquisition of 100% common stock of Weifang Yuhe Poultry Co., Ltd., “PRC Yuhe” and 43.75% of Weifang Taihong Feed Co., Ltd., “Taihong”. As a result, Bright Stand owned 100% of PRC Yuhe and owned 43.75% direct interest of Taihong and 56.25% indirect interest of Taihong through PRC Yuhe. PRC Yuhe and Taihong became the wholly-owned subsidiaries of Bright Stand.
 
Weifang Yuhe Poultry Co., Ltd., “PRC Yuhe”
 
Weifang Yuhe Poultry Co., Ltd., “PRC Yuhe”, was established in Weifang, Shandong of the People’s Republic of China, the “PRC”, as a limited company on March 8, 1996. PRC Yuhe is a supplier of day-old chicken raised for meat production, or broilers, in the People’s Republic of China.
 
Weifang Taihong Feed Co., Ltd., “Taihong”
 
Weifang Taihong Feed Co., Ltd. was established in Weifang, Shandong of the People’s Republic of China, the “PRC”, as a limited company on May 26, 2003. Taihong is a feed stock company whose primary purpose is to supply feed stock for PRC Yuhe’s breeder chicken.
 
The Company’s operations are conducted through its subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China, PRC Yuhe, and Taihong. The Company and its subsidiaries, hereinafter, collectively referred to as “the Group”, are engaged in the business of chicken and feed production.

Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Principles of consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, include the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Company and all its subsidiaries. This basis of accounting differs in certain material respects from that used for the preparation of the books and records of the Company’s principal subsidiaries, which are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and the relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises with limited liabilities established in the PRC, “PRC GAAP”, the accounting standards used in the place of their domicile.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect necessary adjustments not recorded in the books and records of the Company’s subsidiaries to present them in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Yuhe International, Inc, Bright Stand International Limited, Weifang Yuhe Poultry Co., Ltd and Weifang Taihong Feed Co., Ltd. after the date of acquisitions. All significant intercompany accounts, transactions and cash flows are eliminated on consolidation.
 
(b) Use of estimates
 
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Summary of significant accounting policies – continued

(c) Basic and diluted earnings per share
 
The Company reports basic earnings per share in accordance with the FASB accounting standard. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The weighted average number of shares of the Company represents the common stock outstanding during the reporting periods.
 
Diluted earnings per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options are assumed to be exercised at the time of issuance, and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the year.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires disclosure of transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers and information on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured under Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. The guidance for Level 3 reconciliation disclosures will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company will adopt this guidance at the beginning January 1, 2011. Adoption will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Income tax – continued

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 740.10, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in the tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures.
 
Through March 31, 2010, the management considered that the Company had no uncertain tax positions which affected its consolidated financial position and results of operations or cash flow, and will continue to evaluate for the uncertain position in future. There are no estimated interest costs and penalties provided in the Company’s financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
Cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, for which no U.S. income or foreign withholding taxes have been recorded, approximated $27.8 million at March 31, 2010.  As the company intends to indefinitely reinvest all such earnings, no provision has been made for income taxes that may become payable upon distribution of such earnings as allowed under ASC 740.30, “Accounting for Income Taxes-Other considerations or special areas”.

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, and other payables, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments and market rates of interest.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of an award, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 109.40%, and a risk-free interest rate of 3.00%. In determining volatility of the Company’s options, the Company used the average volatility of the Company’s stock. Fair value per the Black-Scholes model is $2,186,499. In accordance with FASB ASC 718, the Company has recorded stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, of $179,695 and $179,712, respectively, in connection with the issuance of this option.

Overview
 
The Company is in the middle of the broiler chicken supply chain. The Company purchases baby parent breeding stocks from primary breeder farms, raises them for hatching eggs and sells live day-old broilers to the market. The Company’s business segment in the broiler supply chain has the highest margin along the supply chain. The Company produces high quality day-old broilers supported by its know-how in the areas of feed ingredient composition, immunizations system and breeding techniques, gained through over a decade of experience.

The Company’s Business Operations

The Company’s business is part of the commercial broiler supply chain.

Day-old broilers are one-day-old broilers that are sold to broiler raisers. Day-old broilers sold by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PRC Yuhe, are its primary source of revenue.

The Company purchases parent breeding chicken from grandparent breeder farms and raises them to maturity. Once these parent breeding chicken have matured, they produce hatching eggs that the Company incubates and then sells the resulting day-old broiler chicks to its customers.

Under normal circumstances, female parent breeder chicken become productive from the 26 th week, and are no longer commercially productive after the 66th week. Typically a breeder is capable of producing approximately 167 eggs which will be hatched to 137 broilers over its production lifetime and the breeders are maintained by the Company for a period of 420 days. The Company sources its parent breeder chicken from licensed suppliers located in Beijing, and Shandong and Jiangsu provinces and these suppliers are required to have a vaccination certificate and a breeder production certificate for the sale of the breeders. The Company’s hatching eggs typically must be incubated for a period of 21 days. At least 28 weeks usually pass from the Company’s receipt of a day-old parent breeder to its sale of the first day-old broilers. 
 
The Company operates in two elements of the broiler supply chain: day-old broiler production and feed production. These activities are operated under two separate subsidiaries, PRC Yuhe and Taihong, respectively.

Net revenue. Net revenue increased by $0.84 million, or 8%, to $11.76 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $10.91 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was driven by the increase in sales volume of the Company’s day-old broilers by 2.5 million birds, or 11%, from 23.1 million birds for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to 25.6 million birds for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in sales volume was a result of capacity expansion in year 2010. The increase in sales volume was partially offset by a decrease in unit selling price. The selling price of day-old broilers decreased by 2.7% from RMB 2.99 per bird for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to RMB 2.91 per bird for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This price decline was within a normal range and within management’s expectation, especially compared to a period of high prices during the last quarter of year 2008 which extended through the first quarter of year 2009.
 
$10.89 million, or 92.6%, of net revenue, came from day old broilers sales; $0.63 million, or 5.4%, of net revenue, came from the sale of retired parent broilers, which earned approximately $28,000 in gross profit in this period; $0.07 million, or 0.6% of net revenue, came from sales of non-fecundated eggs; $0.11 million, or 0.9% of net revenue, came from chicken dung and other business; and $0.06 million, or 0.5% of net revenue, came from external feed sales of Taihong.
 
Cost of revenue. The Company’s cost of revenue increased by $1.00 million, or 14.7%, to $7.86 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $6.85 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The main reasons for the increase in the cost of revenue were the increase in sales volume and the increase in unit cost, which increased by RMB0.16, or 8.6%, to RMB2.01 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from RMB1.85 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The unit cost increase is due to the increase in feed price in 2010; the price of corn, which is the major component of feed, increased 27%. The detailed price per ton for the various components of the feed is as below:

Note: Soybean price fluctuations are small because the soybean market is fully linked with the international market.
 
Feed cost comprises 60% of cost of revenue for parent broiler breeding whereas feed cost is 80% of cost of revenue for commercial broiler breeding.
 
As a percentage of net revenue, the cost of revenue increased by 4 percentage points, from 63% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to 67% for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
 
Gross profit. The Company’s gross profit decreased by $0.16 million, or 4%, to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $4.06 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue was 33% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to 37% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was mainly attributable to the increase in unit cost of the Company’s day-old broilers, as discussed above.
 
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.08 million, or 10%, to $0.82 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $0.74 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to additional audit fees paid to Grant Thornton, our former independent registered public accounting firm, which increased by about $70,000.

General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2010 were comprised mainly of public company related expenses of $0.39 million, including stock based compensation of $179,695, representing 48% of total general and administrative expenses; audit fees of $0.14 million, representing 17% of total general and administrative expenses; human resources and related expenses of $0.12 million, representing 15% of total general and administrative expenses; facilities and utility expenses of $0.09 million, representing 11% of total general and administrative expenses; travel expenses of $0.04 million, representing 5% of total general and administrative expenses; and tax expense of $0.03 million, representing 4% of total general and administrative expenses.
 
Selling expenses. The Company’s selling expenses increased by $18,007, or 19%, to $110,947 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $92,940 for the same period in 2009. Selling expenses for the first quarter of 2010 were comprised mainly of packaging and transportation expenses of $73,539, representing 66% of total selling expenses; human resources and related expenses of $14,105, representing 13% of total selling expenses; and travel, office expenses and advertising expenses of $22,865, representing 20% of total selling expenses. The increase in selling expenses was primarily due to the increase in packaging and transportation expenses as a result of increased sales volume. As a percentage of net revenue, selling expenses remained 1%, which was the as with the level for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Company expects that its selling expenses will not increase in proportion with sales growth because the Company distributes its product through distributors.
 
Interest expenses. Interest expenses decreased by $259,477, or 80%, to $65,950 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $325,427 for the same period in 2009. The decrease was due to the increase in interest being capitalized in construction in progress. Capitalized interest for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, was $206,063 and $0, respectively. If interest had not been capitalized, interest expense on bank loans would have been $272,013 and $325,427 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively. As the Company continues to expand its operations by acquiring more farm facilities and equipment in the coming years, the amount of capitalized bank interest is not expected to decline in the near future.
 
Net income. Net income increased by $0.01 million, or 0.42%, to $2.93 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $2.91 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as a result of the factors described above.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company expects that its strong positive working capital of $11.09 million as of March 31, 2010 and positive cash flow provided by operating activities of $1.99 million will meet its foreseeable working capital needs for the next 12 months from the date of this report. In the first quarter of year 2010, the Company renewed 7 bank loans for a total of $8.19 million with local banks, these loans will expire in year 2013.
 
In connection with this renewal, the interest rates on these loans were reduced to a fixed annual interest rate of 7.56% compared to the previous rates which varied between 8.64% and 13.82%.
 
The balance of Yuhe’s bank loans was approximately $10.8 million as of March 31, 2010. Under the new terms for the bank loans, the Company can reduce its average bank loan interest rate from 10.8% to 7.8%. The Company expects to reduce interest expense prior to any capitalized interest from approximately $1.2 million per annum, approximately equivalent to RMB 8.2 million, to $0.86 million per annum, approximately equivalent to RMB 5.9 million.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to the net income of $2.93 million; a decrease of $0.03 million of long term prepaid rent; and a decrease of $0.12 million of other payable; offset by an increase of $1.71 million of inventories; an increase of $0.05 million of accounts payable; an increase of $0.16 million of accrued expenses; an increase of $0.04 million of payroll and payroll related liabilities and non cash adjustment for depreciation and amortization of $0.57 million; non cash compensation of $0.18 million; and capitalized interest in construction in progress of $0.21 million.  Compared to the same period in 2009, the Company’s net cash provided by operating activities decreased because of expansion in production capacity which has led to an increase in the inventories during the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  Also, the Company purchased $1.3 million more inventory than the same period in 2009.  Furthermore, the Company paid down $0.05 million accounts payable compared to an increase in accounts payable of $1.05 million during the same period in 2009.
 
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $0.35 million compared to $26 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to an increase of $0.33 million in capital expenditure for the building of breeder farms and purchase of equipment and repayment of notes receivable of $0.02 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The following is a summary of the $0.33 million cash used in deposits paid and acquisition of property, plant and equipment:

The Company has eleven loan facilities from three institutions and the following are the material terms of such bank loans.
 
 Loan from Hanting Kaiyuan Rural Credit Cooperative:
 
On January 8, 2009, PRC Yuhe renewed the loan agreement with Hanting Kaiyuan Rural Credit Cooperative. Pursuant to the loan agreement, Hanting Kaiyuan Rural Credit Cooperative loaned PRC Yuhe $1,067,859 at an interest rate of 7.56% per annum.

PRC Yuhe renewed four loan agreements with Nansun Rural Credit on March 19, 2010.  The interest rate for the loan agreements is 7.56% per annum for the renewed bank loan agreement, compared to the original rate of 13.82%, because PRC Yuhe’s business activities were supported by the government. The total amount of these four bank loans is $4,827,315.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Not applicable.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
(a)              Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, Messrs. Gao Zhentao and Hu Gang, respectively, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2010, the end of the period covered by this Report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports, such as this Form 10-Q, that it files or submits 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 a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based on that evaluation, Messrs. Gao and Hu concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2010.

 (b)              Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
 
As previously reported, management concluded that certain related party loans between the Company and Shandong Yuhe Food Group Co., Ltd., “Yuhe Food”, constituted prohibited transactions under Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  All such related party loans had been repaid as of the end of February 2010. In addition, there were certain audit adjustments identified by the Company’s former independent auditors related to the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 indicating a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  The adjustments mainly related to transferring amounts from work-in-progress to fixed assets, separating the current portion of long term debt from long term debt, and verifying the nature of capital leases and operating leases.
 
In order to address the foregoing material weaknesses, the Company has taken certain remedial action to strengthen its internal control over financial reporting during the quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting. In March 2010, the Company’s Audit Committee engaged Ernst & Young (China) Advisory Limited, “Ernst & Young”, to review its payment procedures. Ernst & Young has finished its review, which covered all payments made between January 1, 2010 to March 31, 2010. Ernst & Young delivered a report on its review to all board members of the Company.  On May 4, 2010, based on discussions with the Company’s management team and its review of the Ernst & Young report, the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee concluded that (1) the Company has cleared all inter-company balances with related party companies; (2) there was no payment between the Company and its related party companies from March 1, 2010 to March 31, 2010; and (3) no material exception was noted during the review of payment procedures.  
 
In addition, the Board of Directors has implemented the following measures to ensure adequate internal controls in the payment procedures, prevent recurrence of unauthorized or improper related party payments and timely detect related party transactions.
 
 A: Update and Revision of Relevant Policies and Procedures
 
The Company intends to update its code of business ethics and other relevant policies and procedures to clearly stipulate that.
 
(1)
Related party loans are a violation of the Company’s code of business ethics and are strictly prohibited.
(2)
All related party transactions are required to be reported to and approved by the Board of Directors in advance.
 
B: Implementation of the relevant policies and procedures
 
The revised policies will be communicated within the Company. All department heads will be required to confirm their acknowledgement of the revised policies in writing. The Finance Department will play a major role in the implementation of the revised policies and will strictly follow the revised policy and report any transactions that violate or appear to violate the policies.
 
 C: Monitoring of the Operation of Internal Controls
 
The Company will fill the new position of Internal Auditor, who will directly report to the Chairman of the Audit Committee functionally, and to the Chief Financial Officer from an administrative perspective. The Internal Auditor will conduct an internal audit quarterly to review the Company’s payment procedures and test the controls as stated in the revised policies. The Internal Auditor will also conduct a specific audit to review all related party transactions quarterly to examine whether the revised policies are properly implemented. The Internal Auditor is required to report the results of these audits to the Board of Directors. The Internal Auditor is expected to start to work on June 1, 2010. The Board of Directors is in the process of reviewing the background and experience of a number of candidates and refining the job description of the Internal Auditor.
 
Under the direction of the Audit Committee, management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the system of internal controls and the control environment, as well as policies and procedures to improve the overall effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
