Market Information, page 17

Provide us with the source for your market data, such as the statement, “Feed costs comprise 55-70% of a piggery’s expenses.” on page 15 and the information provided under the subheading, “Market Information”.

According to thepigsite.com, “The feed costs are one of the most important cost categories, as it normally constitutes more than 50% of the overall costs. . . . The feed costs are affected by feed consumption, feed prices, slaughter weight and number of produced pigs.” The specific characteristics of the marketplace in each country determines the overall costs. For example, the overall cost of feed in each country, the amount of protein used in the feed mix, the transportation cost of the feed, the age of the pig at slaughter, the slaughter weight of the animal, the number of live piglets born in the litter, as well as other overhead costs such as labor rates.
 
Feed costs comprise 55-70% of a piggery's expenses; therefore the quality of feed and nutrition has a significant effect on piggery profits. 
 
See: http://www.agri.gov.cn/kjtg/syjs/t20070801_863645.htm - This is a HeNan Agricultural Technology News stating that 70% of cost of hog raise is directly contributed from feed costs. 
 
The feed industry in China, initially developed during the 1980s, was transformed by the issuance of the feed and feed additives regulations in the early 1990s.  These regulations emphasized labeling standards for the different grades of product.  These standards assisted in regulating the feed industry's expansion and aimed to eliminate substandard products and fraudulent labeling.

11.  
Provide us with the source for your data on your competitor’s businesses. For example, the statement on page 16, “Competitors charge $500/metric ton on average.”
 
   
This information was based on an informal survey with the Company’s customers who purchased from the Company’s competitors in the past. We have established good relationships with most of our customers due to our willingness to provide them what we consider to be superior customer services. Through many conversations and informal polling with our customers, we have determined that our competitors charge $500/metric ton on average.

12.  
Please clarify your descriptions of premix on pages 16 and 17. We note that the description of pork premix includes growth promoters, while the description of premix in the second to last paragraph on page 17 omits growth promoters.
 
   
The Company has clarified these descriptions on page 16 and 17 of Amendment No. 1.

Overview, page 21

15.  
In looking at your period-to-period disclosures, we note that Cost of Goods Sold may change in disproportionately to changes in Revenues. For example, for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2007, Revenues increased by 137.71% while Cost of Sales increased by 163.21%, a greater amount. However, for the year ended December 31, 2006 Revenues increased by 12.9% but Cost of Sales increased by only 2%. In your Overview section, address the general relation between Revenues and Cost of Sales while addressing, on a more specific basis, the factors affecting Cost of Sales in each of the period comparisons.
 
   
The Company has revised the Overview section on page 22 and 23 of Amendment No. 1 to address these issues.

Critical Accounting Policies, page 22

16.  
Please revise this section to focus specifically on areas that require estimates and assumptions that are material due to high levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for them, and that are material to your financial condition and operating performance. For example, it is unclear to us from your disclosure what subjective assumptions or estimates you make when accounting for foreign currency translation. With respect to each critical accounting policy, you should include:
 
(a)  
An analysis of the uncertainties involved in applying the principle and the variability that is reasonably likely to result from its application.
 
(b)  
An analysis of how you arrive at the measures and how accurate the estimates or underlying assumptions have been in the past.
 
(c)  
An analysis of your specific sensitivity to change based on outcomes that are reasonably likely to occur and have a material effect.
 
Please refer to FRC Section 501.14 for further guidance.

   
The Company has revised the Critical Accounting Policies section of its MD&A on page 23 and 24 of Amendment No. 1.

Please provide a discussion of how the selling stockholders acquired their shares. We note that you list 41 selling stockholders, yet you only provide the two private placements as a description of how the shares were acquired. If this was the only means by which the selling stockholders acquired their shares, please provide us with your analysis by which you relied on the exemption from registration provided in Rule 506 of Regulation D. Further, please disclose the number of purchasers in your private placements here and on page 1I-2.
 
   
The Company has provided the requested disclosure on pages 36, 37 and II-2 of Amendment No. 1.

   
The offer and sale of the securities in each of the two private placement transactions that we have conducted in 2007 were intended to meet the requirements of one or more exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). In particular, the Company relied upon Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Act. The offer and sale of securities was made solely to a limited number of sophisticated investors and such investors were not solicited through any form of general solicitation or advertising. In the first offering, the Company sold securities to 37 investors and in the second offering the Company sold securities to one institutional investor. In addition, the sales were conducted in private transactions where the investor identified an investment intent as to the transaction without a view to an immediate resale of the securities; the shares of common stock and warrants that made up the Units were “restricted securities” in that they were both legended with restrictions on resale without registration or a valid exemption therefrom such as Rule 144 and the investors represented to the Company in writing that they were sophisticated as to the investment decision and satisfied the definition of “accredited investor” as such term is defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D. The Company had no reason to believe that such representations were not true and correct.

29.  
We note that three of the selling stockholders have the same last name as certain directors and executive officers. With a view toward potential expanded disclosure in the prospectus, please let us know if there are any familial relationships between the selling stockholders and the directors or executive officers. We may have additional comments.
 
   
The Company has confirmed that there are no familial relationships between the selling stockholders and the directors or executive officers.

30.  
Disclose whether any selling stockholder is a broker-dealer. If so, identify it as an underwriter unless you can state that it obtained the securities being registered for resale as compensation for investment banking services.

You state that certain selling stockholders are affiliated with a registered broker-dealer and that each such selling stockholder, “at the time it acquired the securities subject to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, it did not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any of such securities.” Disclose which selling stockholders are affiliates of a broker-dealer. Further, identify each one as an underwriter, unless you can state that each one purchased the securities in the ordinary course of business.
 
The Company has provided the requested disclosure at page 39 and 40 of Amendment No. 1.
 

32.  
Please disclose the natural persons who exercise voting and/or investment power with respect to the securities to be offered for resale by each of the selling stockholders. See Interpretation 1.60 of the July 1997 manual of publicly available Corporation Finance telephone interpretations, as well as interpretation 4S of the Regulation S-K portion of the March 1999 supplement to the Corporation Finance telephone interpretation manual.

We note that your audit report was signed by an audit firm based in Tarzana, California. Please tell us how you concluded that it is appropriate to have an audit report issued by an auditor licensed in the United States, in light of the fact that the majority of your assets are located within, the majority of your revenues are derived within, and your corporate offices are located in China. Further guidance may be found in Section 5.K of “international Reporting and Disclosure Issues in the Division of Corporation Finance” on the Commission’s website at: http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/ intematl/cfirdissueslI04.htm .

The books and records of each of Nanchang Best, Shanghai Best and Guangxi Huijie are located in China. The Company’s auditors use the services of Beijing Evertrust CPAs Co., Ltd., a local public accounting firm which is registered with the PCAOB. The head of the international audit department of Beijing Ever Trust CPAs Co., Ltd. (BETL) has over seven years of experience in public accounting and is a graduate of York University, Canada. She has passed her certified public accountant exam from the State of Delaware. This firm employs other Chinese CPA’s and accounting graduates from Chinese universities. Goldman & Parks LLP, the Company’s auditors, retain the services of BETL in performing the audit. Goldman & Parks LLP’s engagement partner is responsible for planning the audit, which includes preparation of a detailed audit planning memorandum. This plan is discussed with BETL’s manager and staff before the start of the audit. The engagement partner also provides audit programs and day to day guidance to BETL. Prior to the commencement of the audit, the engagement partner visited BETL and imparted training to the audit team on fraud and general audit related matters. In addition, the engagement partner visited the Company’s offices in Shanghai, Nanchang and Nanning and met the CEO, CFO, chairman of the board of directors and other management personnel of the Company.
 
The conduct of the audit by Goldman & Parks LLP is in accordance with the SEC staff’s speech by Louise M. Dorsey and Stephanie L Hunsaker dated December 6, 2004. Following is an extract from this speech.
 
“In other situations, a U.S. firm may choose simply to “hire” local personnel in a foreign country, such as China, to work as independent contractors for the U.S. audit firm [Slide 49]. In this case, the U.S. audit firm would be required to control all aspects of the work performed by the independent contractor. The independent contractor would report to the U.S. audit firm just like an employee of the U.S. firm, perform all procedures requested by the U.S. audit firm, have the work reviewed by members of the U.S. audit firm as if the independent contractor was an employee of the firm, etc.”
 
In addition, prior to the commencement of the audit, the engagement partner had a telephone conversation with Ms. Louise Dorsey and Ms. Stephanie Hunsaker discussing the situation in which this audit was to be conducted. Both Ms. Dorsey and Ms. Hunsaker reiterated that Goldman & Parks LLP can be the issuing auditor as long as Goldman & Parks controls the audit. It is the Company’s understanding that other United States independent accounting firms conduct the audit of Chinese companies in similar manner and that this process is appropriate.

Revenue Recognition, page F-10

35.  
Tell us and disclose the material terms of your revenue arrangements and your related accounting policies. Address the following:
          
            ·  How you establish evidence of an arrangement
 
            ·  How you determine when delivery has occurred;
 
            ·  Whether you offer any return, price protection or similar rights.
 
To the extent that there are any differences in your arrangements with different types of customers, e.g. end-users, distributors or franchisees, clearly describe these differences and explain how these differences are reflected in your revenue recognition policies.
 
Evidence of a revenue arrangement varies from a walk-in cash on demand order from an end user to a written order received from a dealer. The Company considers such arrangements as establishing evidence of an arrangement based on its customary practice. The Company determines that delivery has occurred when the customer picks up the product or when the Company ships the product FOB.
 
The Company gives volume rebates to certain customers based on volume achieved. Sales rebates are accrued based on actual sales volume. Sales rebates for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007 were $74,046 and $258,503 and $5,048 and $174,415, respectively.
 
Sales returns and allowances have historically been insignificant. Accordingly, estimating returns is not critical. However, if circumstances change, returns and allowance may impact the company’s earnings.
 
Sales returns for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007 were $63,521 and $65,792 and $32,931 and $45,447, respectively.

Tell us and disclose the credit terms you offer. Explain to us how the accounts receivable balances reported as of December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007 are consistent with those terms.
 
The Company offers credit terms generally ranging from 30- 90 days. In certain rare cases it provides credit terms to customers that exceed 90 days. The Company monitors collectibility of accounts receivable based on a variety of factors suchs payment history, pattern of current payment and a customer’s credit standing and other economic factors.
 
Receivables are high because sales for the last three months of the year were high.
 
Segment Reporting, page F-12

37.  
We note the statement that your business consists of one reportable segment. Please provide us with an analysis that supports this statement under SFAS 131. As part of your response, tell us whether operating segments have been aggregated to produce your reportable segment. If so, tell us the operating segments and explain to us how they were determined. Also, explain why you believe it is appropriate to aggregate them under paragraph 17 of SFAS 17. Address all of the identified criteria as well as the reference to similar economic characteristics. Provide us with a copy of all internal financial reports provided to your chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for the periods ended December 31, 2006, and March 31, 2007.
 
The Company’s operating segments have been considered as one reportable segment. These segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in each of the following areas:

(a)  
The nature of the products and services
 
(b)  
The nature of the production processes
 
(c)  
The type or class of customer for their products and services
 
(d)  
The methods used to distribute their products
 
(e)  
They operate under a similar regulatory environment.
 
The principal factor that gives the segments similar economic characteristics is that they share similar competitive and operating risks and have similar trend in sales growth.
 
We are in the process of having these agreements translated into english. We will submit these agreements to you when they are delivered to us in english.

Note 9 - Acquisition of Guangxi Huijie Sci. & Tech. Feed Co., Ltd., page F-19

We note the disclosure indicating that the fair values are based on a third-party valuation. Revise your filing to identify, and include the consent of, this expert. Alternatively, remove the reference to a third-party.
 
The Company has removed the reference to the third party.

39.  
Please explain to us why you do not believe it appropriate to tax effect your pro forma adjustments.
 
The Company made this acquisition, has a net operating loss and is not likely to have any tax benefit from the pro forma adjustments. In addition, Guangxi Huijie Sc. & Tech. Food Co., Ltd. is exempt from income tax for a period of two years from January 1, 2006. Therefore, there are no tax consequences of the pro forma adjustment and the Company did not believe it was appropriate to tax effect the pro forma adjustments.

41.  
With regard to your private placements and registration rights agreements:
 
(a)  
Expand your disclosures to explain the registration rights agreements in more detail. Clearly indicate the damages that will be paid if effectiveness of your registration statement is delayed or if registration is not completed, when they would begin, and whether any cap exists to limit such damages.
 
(b)  
To the extent that damages accrue before your registration statement becomes effective, disclose in future amendments the amount of damages accrued.
 
(c)  
Explain to us why your registration rights agreement dated June 22, 2007, is attached as an exhibit, but the agreement dated February 28, 2007, is not.
 
(d)  
Please reconcile the numbers of common shares and warrants issued as part of the “February offering” and the “offering,” as defined in your June 22, 2007, registration rights agreement, with the 3,638,540 shares that you are registering.
 
(e)  
Please explain why you refer to the final closing date here as being April 29, when Note 11 indicates that it was April 28.
 
(f)  
You refer here to “each unit representing one share of the Company’s common stock and a three year common stock purchase warrant” when, in fact, it appears that each unit represented one share of your common stock but just 8% of a warrant, inasmuch as 1,000,000 units apparently represented 1,000,000 shares of common stock but just 80,000 warrants. Clarify this information here and elsewhere in your filing where it is discussed.
 
(g)  
The language is similarly confusing in Note 11 and elsewhere in your filing where you describe the units sold on June 22, 2007. In that instance, did each unit consist of one share of your common stock and a warrant to purchase 25% of a common share, as you state initially in the third paragraph of Note 11? Or is each warrant exercisable for one share of common stock, as you state subsequently in that paragraph, but each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one-fourth of a warrant? Please clarify this language throughout your filing where these discussions are found. For example, the information on page 27 and page 28 is not clear, and the description of the June 22 transaction on page 28 is not adequately detailed.

42.  
Provide the share purchase agreements for your private placements conducted in 2007 and any other material documents relating to such transactions that have yet to be disclosed.
 
We have added the requested agreements as Exhibits 10.5 and 10.6 to Amendment No. 1. 

43.  
Provide each contract to which a director, officer, promoter, voting trustee or security holder named in the registration statement is a party as required by Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-B. We note that there were numerous related party transactions disclosed, yet none of the contracts were attached as an exhibit.
 
With regards to the transactions set forth in the first paragraph of the section "Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons," the only transaction that involved the company was the share exchange transaction with Nanchang Best. This share Exchange Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to Amendment No. 1.
 
With regards to the loan from Sunrise Capital International described in the second paragraph of this section, the promissory note was previously filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 26, 2006 and is now incorporated by reference at Exhibit 10.7 to Amendment No.1.
 
All of the remaining transactions described in this section were initiated by the operating companies when they were private entities.  There were no written enforceable agreements to document these arrangements as Mr. Xing owned a majority interest in the companies that were the other parties in the relationships. These transactions were all repaid and elimited during the first quarter of 2007. Accordingly, there are no agreements to attach as exhibits for these transactions.
