NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION/SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basics of Presentation
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Synutra International, Inc. (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2004 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements. These interim financial statements should read in conjunction with that report.
 
Description of Business
 
The Company is a Delaware corporation that at September 30, 2005 owns 100% of six subsidiary companies in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). These six subsidiaries are all principally engaged in different stages of the production, distribution, and sales of dairy based infant formulas and other nutritional products. The Company’s extensive sales network covers 24 provinces, 227 cities, and more than 800 countries throughout China. In 2004, the Company’s infant formula market share was rated number eight among international manufacturers and number three among domestic manufacturers in China. The Company’s fiscal year end is March 31.
 
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Accounting method
 
The Company uses the accrual method of accounting for financial statement. The accrual method of accounting recognizes revenues when earned and expenses when incurred.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2005, the related consolidated statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of cash flows and stockholders’ equity statement for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 are unaudited. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Income taxes
 
Taxation authorities in China grant long term registered foreign investment companies engaged in manufacturing with preferential tax relief programs that include a 2-year tax holiday and a 3-year 50% tax abatement, applicable from the first profit-making year in operation. For example, a company would receive a tax holiday in the first 2 years of operation from the date of its first consecutive profit-making year, and a 50% tax abatement for the 3rd through 5th year in operation. When a company commences its operation during a year where the profit-making period is shorter than 6 months, the company may choose to start counting the period of the tax holiday and abatement years from the following year, but the net profit of that year becomes taxable.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity,” which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after September 15, 2003. It is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of the Statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. Restatement is not permitted. This statement does not affect the Company.
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R revises FASB Statement No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. SFAS 123R requires all public and non-public companies to measure and recognize compensation expense for all stock-based payments for services received at the grant-date fair value, with the cost recognized over the vesting period (or the requisite service period). SFAS 123R is effective for small business issuers for all interim periods beginning after December 15, 2005. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006. Retroactive application of the provisions of SFAS 123R to the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the effective date is permitted, but not required. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 123R on its financial statements.
 
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3" (“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. These requirements apply to all voluntary changes and changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 154 on its consolidated financial statements.
 
Intangible assets - Intangible assets represent technology know-how. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Intangible assets are recognized if it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any impairment losses. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.
 
Trade receivables and allowance for bad debts - The Company presents trade, net of allowances for doubtful accounts and returns, to ensure accounts receivable are not overstated due to uncollectibility. Trade receivables generated from credit sales have general credit terms of 45 to 60 days. The allowances are calculated based on detailed review of certain individual customer accounts, historical rates and an estimation of the overall economic conditions affecting the Company's customer base. The Company reviews a customer's credit history before extending credit. If the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Revenue recognition - Revenues from the sale of goods is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Revenues consist of the invoice value for the sale of goods and services net of value-added tax ("VAT"), rebates and discounts. The Company is subject to the following surtaxes, which are recorded as deductions from gross sales: 5% City Construction Tax and Education Supplementary Tax (levied at 3 - 4% of net VAT payable).

Shipping and handling fees - Shipping and handling fees are expensed as incurred and are classified as selling expenses.
 
Research and development expenses - Research and development costs are classified as general and administrative expenses and are expensed as incurred.

Advertising costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are classified as selling expenses.

Income taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes under the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS" No. 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes," whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary; to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
 
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions.
 
The following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements.
 
For certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, prepaid expenses, deposits and other current assets, short-term bank borrowings, and other payables and accruals, the carrying amounts approximate fair values due to their short maturities.
 
13

 
A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company's securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company's management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
 
The Company is exposed to the following risk factors:

(i) Credit risks - The Company has policies in place to ensure that sales of products are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. The Company also has a concentration of credit risk due to geographic sales as a majority of its products are marketed and sold in the PRC.

(ii) Liquidity risks - Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and ability to close out market positions.

(iii) Interest rate risk - The interest rate and terms of repayments of short-term and long-term bank borrowings are approximately 5% per annum. The Company's income and cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Company has no significant interest-bearing assets. The Company's policy is to maintain all of its borrowings in fixed rate instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Short Term Investments - The Company has classified its short term investment as Available-for-Sale. Available-for-Sale securities are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses are included in income (expense). The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost computed on a weighted-average basis. Cost includes all costs of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. .

Property, plant and equipment - Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The initial cost of the asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful life for periods ranging from five to fifty years. Significant improvements and betterments are capitalized where it is probable that the expenditure resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained form the use of the asset beyond its originally assessed standard of performance. Routine repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Gains and losses on disposal of fixed assets are recognized in the income statement based on the net disposal proceeds less the carrying amount of the assets.

Impairment of long-lived assets - Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets, including intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2004.
 
Sales
 
Sales increased by $12,838,097 or 98.75% to $25,838,851 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $13,000,754 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Sales increased due to greater market penetration as a result of various measures including changes made by management to incentive structures and policies affecting the Synutra sales force. Such changes strengthened promotional efforts in the medium-sized city markets and rural markets of China by modifying sales force incentive programs through aligning bonuses with sales performance. The increase in sales also reflects the overall industry growth acceleration in the current year. Management estimates that the infant formula industry in China has grown faster than its traditional natural growth due to increased consumer recognition and acceptance of the products, especially Synutra’s name-brand product. Management believes Synutra name brand product lines have gained recognition in the marketplaces where it operates and thus has captured a greater portion of the increased growth experienced by the industry. In addition, management believes premium products with a higher margin have grown faster in the period across the industry. Since September 2004, Synutra has launched entire lines of premium product and introduced new product packaging along with significant price increases. The sales increases are attributable to the following components: from a volume increase of 1,851 tons year on year, resulting in an increase of $8,736,922 in gross sales; from average selling price increases of $393 per ton year on year, resulting in an increase of $1,080,865 in gross sales; sales growth attributable to combination of volume and price increases year on year is $726,600; and new product launches for $2,291,010 in gross sales increase.

Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased to $10,965,478 from $6,215,673 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in cost of sales was a result of increases in purchases of raw materials and other ingredients, as well as increases in processing expenses, all in proportion to the production volume increases. Corresponding to volume increase of 1,851 tons of products in gross sales, the cost of sales increased by $4,178,422 year on year. Due to the reduction in unit cost of sales, the average selling cost decreased by $271 per metric ton year on year, resulting in a cost of sales reduction of $744,866. Due to a combination of sales volume increases and unit cost of sales reductions, the cost of sales decreased by $500,728. New products accounted for $1,816,977 in the total cost of sales for the period.
 
Gross Profit
 
Gross profit was $14,873,373 or 57.56% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

Non-comparable product lines produced a gross profit of $474,033 this quarter. With sales increasing in 2005 compared to 2004, the Company experienced an increase in both gross profit and gross margin, exceeding the gross margin target of 50% the management set for its operations for calendar year 2005. This increase was primarily a result of increased sales and gross margins at the same time. Due to implementation of targeted sales incentive programs, higher margin lines of products increased more, resulting in the increase in gross margin.

The increase in selling and distribution expenses in 2005 as compared to 2004 was a result of reduced transportation and management expenses.

The increase in average compensation to the sales force constitutes most of the increase in selling expenses.
 
Advertising and Sales Promotion
 
Advertising and sales promotion increased by $3,733,099 or 120.77% to $6,824,110 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $3,091,012 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 as a result of increased advertising and promotional activity expenses.

The sales increases are attributable to the following components: from a volume increase of 2,491 tons year on year, resulting in increase of $9,999,205 in gross sales; from average selling price increases of $1,067 per ton year on year, resulting in an increase of $ 6,053,007 in gross sales; sales growth attributable to combination of volume and price increases year on year is $ 2,657,528; and new product launches for $2,291,010 in gross sales increase.
 
Cost of Sales
 
Cost of sales for the six months ended September 30, 2005 increased to $19,421,618 from $11,428,376 for the six months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in cost of sales was a result of increase in purchase of raw materials and other ingredients, as well as increases in processing expenses, all in proportion to the production volume increase. Corresponding to volume increase of 2,491 tons of products in gross sales, the cost of sales increased by $5,017,543 year on year. Due to reduction in unit cost of sales, the average selling cost decreased by $142 per metric ton year on year, resulting in a cost of sales reduction of $805,204. Due to a combination of sales volume increase and unit cost of sales reduction, the cost of sales decreased by $353,519. New products accounted for $1,816,977 in the total cost of sales for the period.
 
Gross Profit
 
Gross profit was $24,354,160 or 55.63% of sales for the six months ended September 30, 2005. Comparable gross profit was $23,880,127 or 57.56% of sales for the six months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to gross profit of $11,346,652 or 49.82% of sales for the six months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $12,533,475. Non-comparable product lines produced a gross profit of $474,033 in the period. With sales increasing in 2005 compared to 2004, the Company experienced an increase in both gross profit and gross margin, exceeding the gross margin target of 50% the management set for its operations for calendar year 2005. This increase was primarily a result of increased sales and gross margins at the same time. Due to implementation of targeted sales incentive programs, higher margin lines of products increased more, resulting in the increase in gross margin.

Financial Condition - September 30, 2005:
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Operating
 
The Company’s operations generated cash resources of $5,139,496 for the six months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to utilizing cash resources of $5,152,017 for the six months ended September 30, 2004, primarily as a result of cash generated in 2005 from sales and decreases to accounts receivable. At September 30, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $18,668,290 as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $16,085,403 at March 31, 2005. The Company had a working capital deficit of $16,653,724 at September 30, 2005, as compared to a working capital deficit of $15,919,880 at March 31, 2005, reflecting current ratios of 71.15% and 69.23%, respectively.
 
Since 2004, growth of the Company’s pretax earnings continues to outpace by an average factor of about 10 times the interest payments over current liabilities, demonstrating the Company’s ability to meet interest payment of current liabilities with cash from operations. In addition, management believes much of the bank loans and notes payables booked as current liabilities are readily extended in revolving terms.
 
Net accounts receivable increased to $2,365,950 at September 30, 2005, as compared to $1,968,235 at March 31, 2005, an increase of $397,715.
 
Inventories increased to $6,940,879 at September 30, 2005, as compared to $6,757,021 at March 31, 2005, an increase of $183,858 or 2.72%, primarily as a result of increase in raw material purchases.
 
The Company anticipates that its working capital resources are adequate to fund anticipated costs and expenses for the remainder of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006 by net cash provided by operating activities (or surplus from operating cash flow).

During the six months ended September 30, 2005, the Company utilized $6,078,510 in investing activities, the major components of which were the acquisition of property and equipment of $650,411, investment in construction in progress of $5,453,595, and cash paid to related companies of $9,725 During the six months ended September 30, 2004, the Company utilized $27,973,806 in investing activities, the major components of which were the acquisition of property and equipment of $939,521, investment in construction in progress of $3,137,952 and cash paid to related companies of $24,108,445.

As of September 30, 2005, the Company does not have any material commitments for capital expenditures or have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Macroeconomic Conditions and Currency Matters
 
In the most recent decade, the Chinese economy has experienced sustained periods of rapid growth as well as occasional elevated rates of inflation or deflation, which in turn has resulted in the periodic adoption by the Chinese government of various corrective measures designed to regulate growth and stabilize consumer prices. The success of the Company depends in substantial part on the continued growth and development of the Chinese economy.
 
Foreign operations are subject to certain risks inherent in conducting business abroad, including price and currency exchange controls, and fluctuations in the relative value of currencies. The RMB is not yet freely convertible into foreign currencies, and the ability to convert the RMB is subject to the availability of foreign currencies. The Company conducts virtually all of its business in China and, accordingly, the sale of its products is settled primarily in RMB. As a result, currency fluctuation of the RMB against the USD mainly affect the Company’s financial performance when measured in USD. In the event of a significant devaluation of the RMB against the USD, the Company’s numbers will likely appear proportionally lower than would otherwise, whereas a RMB currency appreciation will make these numbers appear larger as measured in USD.
 
Although in the previous decade the RMB experienced significant devaluation against the USD, the RMB has remained fairly stable since then. In recent months, actually, the RMB has been under growing pressure to appreciate against a basket of foreign currencies, including the USD. As of September 30, 2005, the exchange rate was approximately USD $1.00 to RMB 8.11, about a 2% appreciation from the year end 2004 exchange rate of about 8.3 RMB yuan to 1 US dollar.
 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
The Company does not have any market risk with respect to such factors as commodity prices, equity prices, and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive investments. A 10 point basis change in the Company’s average debt interest rate would not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations.
 
With respect to foreign currency exchange rates, the Company does not believe that a devaluation or fluctuation of the RMB against the USD would have a detrimental effect on the Company’s operations, since the Company conducts virtually all of its business in China, and the sale of its products and the purchase of raw materials and services are settled in RMB. The effect of a devaluation or fluctuation of the RMB against the USD would affect the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows, when presented in USD (based on a current exchange rate) as compared to RMB.
 
As the Company’s debt obligations are primarily short-term in nature, with fixed interest rates, the Company does not have any risk from an increase in market interest rates. However, to the extent that the Company arranges new borrowings in the future, an increase in market interest rates would cause a commensurate increase in the interest expense related to such borrowings.

OVERVIEW
 
Item 2.     Controls and Procedures
 
(a)  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
 
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive and Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive and Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)) are inadequate to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. We are developing a plan to ensure that all information will be recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. This plan is dependent, in part, upon reallocation of responsibilities among various personnel, possibly hiring additional personnel and additional funding. It should also be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
 
(b)  Changes in Internal Controls.
 
During the period covered by the Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, there were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
