IMPORTANT VOTING INFORMATION

If you hold your shares through a broker or other nominee, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has approved a New York Stock Exchange rule that changes the manner in which your vote on the election of directors will be handled at the 2013 Annual Meeting.

Shareholders who hold our Common Stock through a broker or other nominee receive proxy materials and a voting instruction form before each annual shareholder meeting. In the past, if you did not transmit your voting instructions before the annual meeting, your broker was allowed to vote on your behalf on the election of directors and other matters considered to be routine.

A New Rule for Shareholder Voting

Your broker is no longer permitted to vote on your behalf on the election of directors unless you provide specific instructions by completing and returning the voting instruction form. For your vote to be counted, you now will need to communicate your voting decisions to your broker or other nominee before the date of the Annual Meeting or obtain a legal proxy to vote your shares at the meeting.

Your Participation in Voting the Shares You Own is Important

Voting your shares is important to ensure that you have a say in the governance of your company and to fulfill the objectives of the majority voting standard that we apply in the election of directors. Please review the proxy materials and follow the instructions on the voting instruction form to submit your proxy or voting instructions. We hope you will exercise your rights and fully participate as a SkyPeople shareholder.

More Information Is Available

If you have any questions about this new rule or the proxy voting process in general, please contact the broker, bank or other financial institution where you hold your shares. The Securities and Exchange Commission also has a website, www.sec.gov/spotlight/proxymatters.shtml, with more information about your rights as a shareholder. Additionally, you may contact SkyPeople’s Investor Relations Advisor, CCG Investor Relations by phone at 1-646-626-4172 or by email at david.rudnick@ccgir.com.

PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF

SKYPEOPLE FRUIT JUICE, INC.

To be Held on or about Monday, September 30, 2013

The Board of Directors of SkyPeople Fruit Juice, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Skypeople” or the “Company”), is soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at our principal executive offices, located at 16F, China Development Bank Tower, No.2, Gaoxin 1st Road, Xi’an, Shaanxi, China, on Monday, September 30, 2013, and at any adjournments thereof. You are receiving a proxy statement because you own shares of the Company’s common stock that entitle you to vote at the meeting. By use of a proxy, you can vote whether or not you attend the meeting. The proxy statement describes the matters we would like you to vote on and provides information on those matters so you can make an informed decision.

Purposes of the Annual Meeting

The purpose of the Annual Meeting is to elect as directors the seven nominees named in this proxy statement and to ratify the Audit Committee’s selection of independent registered public accounting firm and to conduct such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card are intended to be mailed to shareholders on or about August 28, 2013.

Record Date and Voting Securities

The Board of Directors fixed the close of business on August 19, 2013 (the “Record Date”) as the record date for shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of that date, there were 26,661,499 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) outstanding and entitled to vote, the holders of which are entitled to one vote per share.

Quorum

A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to hold a meeting. A majority of the shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote must be represented in person or by proxy at the meeting to establish a quorum. Both abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for determining the presence of a quorum. Broker non-votes, however, are not counted as shares present and entitled to be voted with respect to the matter on which the broker has not voted. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any of the matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because (1) the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and (2) the broker lacks discretionary voting power to vote such shares. 

Voting Generally

Holders of record of shares of the Company’s Common Stock as of the Record Date are entitled to one vote per share on each matter to be considered and voted upon at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 26,661,499 shares of Common Stock issued, outstanding and entitled to be voted, which were held by approximately 73 holders of record.

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, states that there is no cumulative voting in the election of directors. The affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Common Stock representing a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present is required for the election of the directors listed below. Abstentions and non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but will not be counted as a vote for the election as a director of any nominee.

-3-

Votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be tabulated at the Annual Meeting. All valid, unrevoked proxies will be voted as directed. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, properly executed proxies will be voted for the election of the nominees for director set forth herein.

If any matters other than those addressed on the proxy card are properly presented for action at the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the proxy card will have the discretion to vote on those matters in their best judgment, unless authorization is withheld.

Many of our shareholders hold their shares through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own names. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

Shareholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer, you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares and these proxy materials are being sent directly to you by us. As a shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to us or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. We have enclosed a proxy card for your use.

Beneficial Holder.  If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of the shares held in street name, and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee who is considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote and are also invited to attend the meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the meeting. Your broker or nominee has enclosed a proxy card for your use.

Required Vote

The nominees for election as directors at the Annual Meeting will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting. This means that the director nominee with the most votes for a particular slot is elected for that slot. Votes withheld from one or more director nominees will have no effect on the election of any director from whom votes are withheld.

The approval of each of the other proposals require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on that proposal.

If you are a beneficial owner and do not provide the shareholder of record with voting instructions, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes.” A “broker non-vote” occurs when a bank, broker or other holder of record holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because that holder does not have discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

Brokers, banks and holders of record holding shares for beneficial owners have discretionary voting power to vote the shares without receiving voting instructions from the owner on “routine” matters, but not on “non-routine” matters. As Proposal 2 (Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm) is considered a “routine” matter, if you are a beneficial owner, your bank, broker or other holder of record is permitted to vote your shares on Proposal 2 even if the record holder does not receive voting instructions from you. The record holder may not vote on Proposal 1 (Election of Directors) without voting instructions from you, however. Without your voting instructions on Proposals 1, a broker non-vote will occur with respect to that proposal. In tabulating the voting result for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes will not be included in vote totals and will have no effect on the outcome of any vote.

Unless otherwise required by the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or Bylaws or the Florida Business Corporation Act, or by applicable law, any other proposal that is properly brought before the Annual Meeting will require approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast at the Annual Meeting. With respect to any such proposal, neither abstentions nor broker non-votes will be counted as votes cast for purposes of determining whether the proposal has received sufficient votes for approval.

Directors and executive officers of the Company beneficially hold approximately 13,378,459 shares of Company Common Stock, or 50.2% of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Meeting.

-4-

Deadline for Voting by Proxy

In order to be counted, votes cast by proxy must be received prior to the Annual Meeting.

Revocability of Proxies

Shareholders are requested to date, sign and return the enclosed proxy card to make certain their shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting. Any proxy given may be revoked by the shareholder at any time before it is voted by delivering written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company, by filing with the Secretary of the Company a proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. All proxies properly executed and returned will be voted in accordance with the instructions specified thereon.

Important Information Regarding Delivery of Proxy Material

The SEC has adopted amendments to the proxy rules that change how companies must provide proxy materials to its shareholders. These new rules are often referred to as “notice and access,” under which a company may select either of the following options for making proxy materials available to its shareholders:

●   the full set delivery option; or

●   the notice only option.

A company may use a single method for all of its shareholders, or use full set delivery for some while adopting the notice only option for others.

SkyPeople must comply with these new rules in connection with the Annual Meeting.

Full Set Delivery Option

Under the full set delivery option, a company delivers all proxy material to its shareholders by mail as it would have done prior to the change in the rules. In addition to delivery of proxy materials to shareholders, the company must post all proxy materials on a publicly-accessible website and provide information to shareholders about how to access the website.

In connection with the Annual Meeting, SkyPeople elected to use the full set delivery option.  Accordingly, you should have received SkyPeople’s proxy materials by mail. These proxy materials include the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, proxy statement, proxy card and 2012 Annual Report to Shareholders. Additionally, Skypeople has posted these materials at www.skypeoplefruitjuice.com.

Notice Only Option

Under the notice only option, a company must post all proxy materials on a publicly-accessible website.  Instead of delivering proxy materials to its shareholders, the company instead delivers a “Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Material.” The notice includes, among other matters:

●   information regarding the date and time of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders as well as the items to be considered at the meeting;

●   information regarding the website where the proxy materials are posted; and

●   various means by which a shareholder can request paper or e-mail copies of the proxy materials.

-5-

If a shareholder requests paper copies of the proxy materials, these materials must be sent to the shareholder within three business days and by first class mail.

SkyPeople May Use the Notice Only Option in the Future

Although SkyPeople elected to use the full set delivery option in connection with the Annual Meeting, it may choose to use the notice only option in the future. For a company with a large number of shareholders, by reducing the amount of materials that a company needs to print and mail, the notice only option provides an opportunity for costs savings as well as conservation of paper products.  However, many companies that have used the notice only option have experienced a lower participation rate resulting in fewer shareholders voting at the annual meeting. However, the company may need to engage a third party service to provide a publicly-accessible website to post all proxy materials and means for the shareholders to vote for the notice only option, the cost associated with such third party service as compared with the savings from printing and delivery less full-set proxy materials may not justify the option only delivery at this time. SkyPeople plans to evaluate the future possible cost savings as well as the possible impact on shareholder participation as it considers future use of the notice only option. 

Householding

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g. brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy materials with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single set of proxy materials. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially results in extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies.

If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate set of proxy materials, you may:

●   Send a written request to the Company’s Corporate Secretary at 16F, China Development Bank Tower, No.2, Gaoxin 1st Road, Xi’an, Shaanxi, China, 710075, if you are a shareholder of record; or

●   Notify your broker, if you hold your common shares under street name.

Vote Required for Election of Directors

Proposal 1 requires approval by a “plurality” of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. This means that Proposal 1 will be approved if more votes cast at the Annual Meeting are voted in favor of the proposal than are voted against the proposal. Votes withheld are not counted as votes against the proposal. Neither abstentions nor broker non-votes will be counted as votes cast for purposes of determining whether the proposal has received sufficient votes for approval.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Pursuant to the Company’s Bylaws and the Florida Business Corporation Act, the Company’s business and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board. Directors are kept informed on the Company’s business through discussions with management, including the Chief Executive Officer and other senior officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating in meeting.

Our Board meets on a regular basis during the year to review significant developments affecting us and to act on matters requiring Board approval. It also holds special meetings when an important matter requires Board action between scheduled meetings. Members of senior management regularly attend Board meetings to report on and discuss their respective areas of responsibility. The Board held four regularly scheduled and special meetings during fiscal year 2012. All of the directors attended (in person or by telephone) all the meetings of the Board and any committees of the Board on which they served during the fiscal year. Directors are expected to use their best efforts to be present at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. 

Independent Directors

The Company’s Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market. NASDAQ requires that a majority of the Company’s directors be “independent,” as defined by the NASDAQ’s rules. Generally, a director does not qualify as an independent director if the director (or, in some cases, a member of the director’s immediate family) has, or in the past three years had, certain relationships or affiliations with the Company, its external or internal auditors, or other companies that do business with the Company. The Board of Directors has determined that a majority of the Company’s directors are independent directors under the NASDAQ rules. The Company’s independent directors are: John Smagula, Norman Ko, Guolin Wang, Baosheng Lu and Tao Wang.

-9-

Our Board of Directors, which is elected by our shareholders, is our ultimate decision-making body, except with respect to those matters reserved to our shareholders. The Board selects the officers who are charged with the conduct of our business, and has responsibility for establishing broad corporate policies and for our overall performance. The Board is not involved in operating details on a day-to-day basis. The Board is advised of our business through regular reports and analyses and discussions with our principal executive officer and other officers.

Code of Ethics and Governance Program

We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. Our code of business conduct and ethics is available on our website at www.skypeoplefruitjuice.com and may be found by first clicking on “Investors,” then “Corporate Governance” and then “Governance Documents.” We intend to disclose any amendments to the code, or any waivers of its requirements, on our website.

Committees of the Board and Attendance at Meetings

The Board held four regularly scheduled and special meetings during fiscal year 2012. All of the directors attended (in person or by telephone) all of the Board meetings and any committees of the Board on which they served during the fiscal year. Directors are expected to use their best efforts to be present at the shareholders annual meeting. All of our directors attended our 2012 shareholders annual meeting held on September 6, 2012.

Audit Committee

On April 25, 2008, the Board formed an audit committee. Messrs. Norman Ko, John Smagula and Guolin Wang currently serve on the audit committee, which is chaired by Mr. Ko. Each member of the audit committee is “independent” as that term is defined in the rules of the SEC and within the meaning of such term as defined under the rules of the NASDAQ Global Market. The Board has determined that each audit committee member has sufficient knowledge in financial and auditing matters to serve on the audit committee. The audit committee held three meetings during fiscal year 2012. Our Board has determined that Mr. Ko is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under the applicable SEC rules.

Compensation Committee

On April 25, 2008, the Board formed a compensation committee.  During fiscal year 2012, Messrs. Norman Ko, Guolin Wang and John Smagula served on the compensation committee, which was chaired by Mr. Ko. Each member of the compensation committee is “independent” as that term is defined in the SEC rules and within the meaning of such term as defined under the rules of the NASDAQ Global Market, a “nonemployee director” for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and an “outside director” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. No interlocking relationship exists between the Board or the compensation committee and the Board or compensation committee of any other company, nor has any interlocking relationship existed during the last fiscal year. The compensation committee held two meetings during fiscal year 2012.

Evaluation Committee

On November 7, 2011, the then existing independent directors of the Board, consisting of Messrs. John Smagula, Norman Ko and Guolin Wang appointed Baosheng Lu and Tao Wang to serve as members of an evaluation committee of the Board. The Board previously approved the establishment of an evaluation committee of the Board and charged the independent directors to appoint members of the evaluation committee in response to certain demand letters that the Company received from one of its shareholders.

-10-

On August 5, 2011, the Company received a shareholder demand letter from counsel for a purported shareholder. The letter was addressed to the Company’s Board of Directors and requested the Board of Directors to take a number of actions in order to repair the alleged “harm” caused to the Company by certain of its directors and officers, as well as its current and former auditors. The evaluation committee is in the process of retaining counsel to respond to the shareholder inquiry. No formal shareholder derivative complaint has been filed to date on behalf of us. The company believes the suit is without merit and is vigorously defending its position and has made no accrual for any potential contingencies.

The evaluation committee held three meetings during fiscal year 2012.

Other Committees

The Board may on occasion establish other committees, as it deems necessary or required. We do not currently have a standing nominating committee, or a committee performing similar functions. The full Board currently serves this function. Our directors believe that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the Board. The Board will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment. There have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Board.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board of Directors is currently comprised of seven members, including five independent directors who serve as members of our audit committee, compensation committee and evaluation committee. Our Board of Directors is led by Mr. Yongke Xue, who has been serving as the Chairman of the Board since 2008. In his capacity as our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Hongke Xue is able to draw on his intimate knowledge of the daily operations of the Company and its relationships with customers and employees. Calling upon this knowledge, Mr. Xue is able to utilize the in-depth focus and perspective gained in running the company to effectively and efficiently serve on our Board.

Board independence and oversight of the senior management of the Company are enabled by the presence of independent directors who have a wide range of expertise and skills and have oversight over critical functions of the Company, such as the review of business development, evaluation and compensation of executive management, the nomination of directors. Our independent directors provide additional strength and balance to our Board leadership structure.

Risk Management

The Chief Executive Officer and senior management are primarily responsible for identifying and managing the risks facing the Company under the oversight and supervision of the Board. The Chief Executive Officer reports to the Board of Directors regarding any risks identified and steps it is taking to manage those risks. In addition, The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk in the areas of financial reporting and internal controls. The Compensation Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk in the area of compensation policies and practices. Other general business risks such as economic, regulatory and permitting are monitored by the full Board.

Communications with Directors

Shareholders may communicate with the Board or to one or more individual members of the Board by writing SkyPeople Fruit Juice, Inc., 16F, China Development Bank Tower, No.2, Gaoxin 1st Road, Xi’an, Shaanxi, China, 710075, Attention: Corporate Secretary. As appropriate, communications received from shareholders are forwarded directly to the Board, or to any individual member or members, depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communication. The Board has authorized the Secretary, in her discretion, to exclude communications that are patently unrelated to the duties and responsibilities of the Board, such as spam, junk mail and mass mailings. In addition, material that is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or similarly unsuitable will be excluded, with the provision that any communication that is filtered out by the Secretary pursuant to the policy will be made available to any non-management director upon request. Individual directors are not permitted to communicate with shareholders or others outside the Company unless they are deemed authorized persons under the Company's corporate disclosure policy.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, requires that directors, certain officers of the Company and ten percent shareholders file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Commission as to the Company’s securities beneficially owned by them. Such persons are also required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Mr. John Smagula was elected a director to the Company’s board of directors on June 28, 2010, and a Form 3 was filed to report the event on October 6, 2010.

Messrs. Tao Wang and Baosheng Lu were elected directors to the Company’s board of directors on November 7, 2011, a Form 3 was filed by each of them on December 19, 2011 to report the event.

-12-

Mr. Hongke Xue was elected a director to the Company’s board of directors on February 18, 2013, and a Form 3 was filed to report the event on February 22, 2013.

On May 4, 2011, Spring Liu, our former chief financial officer, filed a Form 4 to report various transactions of the Company’s common stock held by her spouse occurred between January 2010 through August 2010. On February 28, 2012, Ms. Liu returned the profit from such trades in the aggregate amount of $8,452 to the Company.  Ms. Liu resigned from her position as the Company’s chief financial officer on September 21, 2011. A Form 4 has not been filed to report Ms. Liu’s exit from Section 16 obligations.

Based solely on its review of copies of such forms received by the Company, or on written representations from certain reporting persons, the Company believes that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders were complied with during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Legal Proceedings

On April 20, 2011, plaintiff Paul Kubala (on behalf of his minor child N.K.) filed a securities fraud class action lawsuit in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York against the Company, certain of its individual officers and/or directors, and Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, the underwriter of the Company’s follow-on public offering consummated in August 2010, alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. On June 20, 2011, plaintiff Benjamin Padnos filed a securities fraud class action lawsuit in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York against the Company, certain of its current and former officers and/or directors, the Company’s former independent auditors Child Van Wagner & Bradshaw, PLLC and BDO Limited, and Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, the underwriter of the Company’s follow-on public offering consummated in August 2010, alleging violations of Sections10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. On August 30, 2011, the Court consolidated the foregoing two actions and appointed Zachary Lewy as lead plaintiff. On September 30, 2011, pursuant to the Court’s order, Lead Plaintiff filed a consolidated complaint, which names the Company, Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, BDO Limited, Child Van Wagoner & Bradshaw PLLC and certain of the Company’s current and former directors and/or officers and majority shareholders as defendants, and alleges violations of Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and the rules promulgated thereunder. The Consolidated Complaint seeks, among other things, compensatory damages, and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the action. On December 21, 2011, the Company and certain of the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint. On May 3, 2012, Lead Plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the claims against BDO Limited and Child Van Wagoner & Bradshaw PLLC. On September 10, 2012, the Court granted in part and denied in part the Company’s motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint. On January 11, 2013, defendant Rodman & Renshaw LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and, on January 18, 2013, the court imposed an automatic stay on Plaintiffs claims against Rodman pursuant to Section 326(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Company believes the allegations against the Company are baseless and is contesting the case vigorously.  The Company has made no accrual for any potential contingencies.

On August 5, 2011, we received a shareholder demand letter from counsel for a purported shareholder. The letter was addressed to the Company’s Board of Directors and requested the Board of Directors to take a number of actions in order to repair the alleged “harm” caused to the Company by certain of its directors and officers, as well as its current and former auditors. The Board of Directors has been reviewing this shareholder demand letter and considering appropriate action that the Company should undertake. On November 7, 2011, Baosheng Lu and Tao Wang were appointed to serve as directors of the board and the independent directors of the board appointed them to serve as the members of the evaluation committee. The evaluation committee is in the process of evaluating the actions demanded by the shareholder and retaining counsel to respond to the shareholder inquiry. No formal shareholder derivative complaint has been filed to date on behalf of the Company. The Company believes any such suit would be without merit and would vigorously defend its position in this regard.  The Company has made no accrual for any potential contingencies.

On July 8, 2011, the Company brought suit against Absaroka Capital Management, LLC (“Absaroka”) and its principal Kevin Barnes in the U.S. District Court of Wyoming under the caption SkyPeople, Inc. v. Absaroka Capital Management, LLC, et al., No. 11-cv-238. Absaroka is a purported independent investment analyst who, while holding a short position in our stock, issued a so-called research report (the “Report”) asserting, inter alia, that the Company had inflated revenues. We brought suit alleging three causes of action for libel per se, libel per quod and intentional interference with a prospective business relationship. In or around November, 2011, Absaroka and Barnes brought counter claims against us for defamation per se, defamation per quod and abuse of process. On June 22, 2012, the Company and Absaroka reached an out-of-court settlement of litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming. The settlement includes a dismissal of all claims and counterclaims filed by the Parties, with neither party admitting any wrongdoing or liability. As part of the settlement agreement, Absaroka has agreed to remove the Report from its website, undertake best efforts to remove the Report from third-party sites, and refrain from issuing any further articles, public statements, or research reports concerning the Company.

Other than the above, from time to time we may be a party to various litigation proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, none of which, in the opinion of management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Parties

On September 30, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a statement of policies and procedures with respect to related party transactions, which was amended on July 11, 2011. A copy of the amended and restated statement of policies and procedures is available on the Company’s website at http://www.skypeoplefruitjuice.com/.

The statement of policies and procedures with respect to related party transactions, as amended, requires the audit committee to review the material facts of all interested transactions, as further described below, unless an exception applies, and either approve or disapprove of our entry into an interested transaction. If the audit committee’s advance approval of an interested transaction is not feasible, then such interested transaction shall be considered at the audit committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting and, if the audit committee determines it to be appropriate, then such interested transaction shall be ratified.

In determining whether to approve or ratify an interested transaction, the audit committee will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the interested transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction, as described below.  Pursuant to the statement of policies and procedures with respect to related party transactions, no director shall participate in any discussion or approval of an interested transaction for which he or she is a related party, except that such director shall provide all material information concerning the interested transaction to the audit committee. If an interested transaction is ongoing, the audit committee may establish guidelines for our management to follow in our ongoing dealings with the related party. Thereafter, the audit committee, on at least an annual basis, shall review and assess ongoing relationships with the related party to see that such related party is in compliance with the audit committee’s guidelines and that the interested transaction remains appropriate.

For purposes of the statement of policies and procedures with respect to related party transactions:

●   an “interested transaction” is a transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

●   a “related party” has the meaning ascribed to the term “related person” under Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

-14-

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the following interested transactions shall be deemed to be pre-approved by the audit committee, even if the aggregate amount involved exceeds $50,000:

●   Employment of executive officers. Any employment of an executive officer if either (i) the related compensation is required to be reported in our proxy statement under Item 402 of the Commission’s compensation disclosure requirements generally applicable to “named executive officers” or (ii) the executive officer is not an immediate family member of another executive officer or director, the related compensation would be reported in our proxy statement under Item 402 of the Commission’s compensation disclosure requirements if the executive officer was a “named executive officer” and our compensation committee approved or recommended that the board of directors approve such compensation.

●   Director compensation. Any compensation paid to a director if the compensation is required to be reported in our proxy statement under Item 402 of the Commission’s compensation disclosure requirements.

●   Certain transactions with other companies. Any transaction with another company at which a related party’s only relationship is as an employee other than an executive officer, director or beneficial owner of less than 10% of that company’s shares, if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed 2% of that company’s total annual revenue.

●   Certain charitable contributions. Any charitable contribution, grant or endowment by us to a charitable organization, foundation or university at which a related party’s only relationship is as an employee other than an executive officer or a director, if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 2% of the charitable organization’s total annual receipts.

●   Transactions where all shareholders receive proportional benefits. Any transaction where the related party’s interest arises solely from the ownership of our Common Stock and all holders of our Common Stock received the same benefit on a pro rata basis, such as dividends.

●   Transactions involving competitive bids. Any transaction involving a related party where the rates or charges involved are determined by competitive bids.

●   Regulated transactions. Any transaction with a related party involving the rendering of services as a common or contract carrier or public utility, at rates or charges fixed in conformity with law or governmental authority.

Recommendations from shareholders which are received after the deadline set forth in the Company’s most recent proxy statement, for a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy statement for the next Annual Meeting, likely will not be considered timely for consideration by the Committee for the following year’s Annual Meeting. 

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE’S SELECTION OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

At the Annual Meeting, a vote will be taken on a proposal to ratify the appointment of Paritz & Company, P.A. (“Paritz”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. Paritz has audited our financial statements since the end of 2011.

The Audit Committee of the Board has appointed Paritz as the independent auditors of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2013. Although shareholder approval is not required, the Board desires to obtain shareholder ratification of this appointment. If the appointment is not ratified at the Annual Meeting, the Board will review its future selection of auditors. If the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Representatives of Paritz are expected to be present in person or by telephone at the Annual Meeting to make a statement if they so desire and to respond to appropriate questions.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company’s common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting is necessary for ratification of the selection of Paritz as our independent registered public accounting firm.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF PARITZ & COMPANY, P.A. AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM.

Tax Fees

The amounts set forth opposite “Tax Fees” above reflect the aggregate fees billed for fiscal 2012 and 2011 for professional services rendered for tax compliance and return preparation. The compliance and return preparation services consisted of the preparation of original and amended tax returns and support during the income tax audit or inquiries.

Pre-Approval Policy

The Board audit committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit services and all non-audit services that our independent accountants are permitted to perform for us under applicable federal securities regulations. The audit committee’s policy utilizes an annual review and general pre-approval of certain categories of specified services that may be provided by the independent accountant, up to pre-determined fee levels. Any proposed services not qualifying as a pre-approved specified service, and pre-approved services exceeding the pre-determined fee levels, require further specific pre-approval by the audit committee. The audit committee has delegated to the Chairman of the audit committee the authority to pre-approve audit and non-audit services proposed to be performed by the independent accountants. Our audit committee was established in April 2008. Therefore, all the services provided by Paritz and BDO Limited in fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively, were pre-approved by the audit committee.
