AGFEED INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by AgFeed Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2007.

Organization and Line of Business
 
AgFeed Industries, Inc. formerly known as Wallace Mountain Resources Corp., (hereinafter referred to as the “Company” or “AgFeed”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 30, 2005.

On October 31, 2006, the Company entered into and closed a share purchase agreement with Nanchang Best Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd., a corporation formed under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Nanchang Best”), and each of Nanchang Best’s shareholders (the “Nanchang Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Nanchang Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Nanchang Best from the Nanchang Best shareholders in exchange for 16,128,000 shares of common stock.

Contemporaneously, on October 31, 2006, the Company entered into and closed a share purchase agreement with Shanghai Best Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd., a corporation formed under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Shanghai Best”), and each of Shanghai Best’s shareholders (the “Shanghai Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Shanghai Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Shanghai Best from the Shanghai Best shareholders in exchange for 3,072,000 shares of common stock.

The exchanges of shares with Nanchang Best and Shanghai Best were accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting since the stockholders of Nanchang Best and Shanghai Best obtained control of the Company. On November 17, 2006, Wallace Mountain Resources Corp. changed its name to AgFeed Industries, Inc. Accordingly, the merger of Nanchang Best and Shanghai Best into the Company were recorded as a recapitalization of Nanchang Best and Shanghai Best, with Nanchang Best and Shanghai Best being treated as the continuing entities. Nanchang Best and Shanghai Best had common shareholders and common management. The historical financial statements presented are the combined financial statements of both Nanchang Best and Shanghai Best. The share exchange agreements have been treated as a recapitalization and not as a business combination; therefore, no pro forma information is disclosed. At the date of this transaction, the net assets of the legal acquirer were $59,762.

As a result of the reverse merger transactions described above the historical financial statements presented are those of Nanchang Best and Shanghai Best, the operating entities.

AGFEED INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

On December 20, 2006, the Company entered into and closed a share purchase agreement with Guangxi Huijie Sci. & Tech. Feed Co, Ltd., a company formed pursuant to the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Guangxi Huijie”), and the shareholders of Guangxi Huijie pursuant to which the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Guangxi Huijie for a total purchase price of eight million six hundred thousand Chinese Renminbi (8,600,000 CNY), equivalent to approximately U.S. $1,100,420 based on exchange rates reported in the Wall Street Journal for December 20, 2006.

The Company obtained the funds for the acquisition of the Guangxi Huijie shares by borrowing 8,600,000 CNY from Sunrise Capital International, Inc. The proceeds of the loan from Sunrise Capital International, Inc. were paid directly to the selling shareholders of Guangxi Huijie as consideration and as provided by the share purchase agreement. The Company’s repayment obligation is evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at the rate of seven percent per annum (7%) and maturing in six months. This loan was repaid in March 2007.

The Company is engaged in the research and development, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of pre-mix fodder blended feed and feed additives primarily for use in China’s domestic pork husbandry markets. The Company operates production plants in Nanchang City, Shanghai City and Nanning City and sells to distributors and large-scale swine farms.

Stock Splits
 
On November 17, 2006, the Company declared a stock dividend of two additional shares of common stock for each share of common stock outstanding (effectively a three for one stock split). All share information for common shares has been retroactively restated for this stock split.
 
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AgFeed Industries, Inc. and its 100% wholly-owned subsidiaries Nanchang Best and Shanghai Best (for all periods presented) and Guangxi Huijie (from the date of acquisition, December 20, 2006).   All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s functional currency is the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY); however the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars ($).

Foreign Currency Translation

As of September 30, 2007, the accounts of the Company were maintained, and their consolidated financial statements were expressed in the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY). Such consolidated financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars (USD) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation,” with the CNY as the functional currency. According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholder’s equity are translated at the historical rates and statement of operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. The allowance for doubtful debts amounted to $192,555 as of September 30, 2007.

Advances to Suppliers

The Company makes advances to certain vendors for purchase of its materials. The advances to suppliers are interest free and unsecured. At September 30, 2007, the Company had advances to suppliers in the amount of $75,352.

Inventories


Property & Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as follows:

Office equipment

Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $118,038 and $75,368, respectively.

Long-Lived Assets

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,” and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business.” The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of September 30, 2007 there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.
Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of the right to use land and computer software. Net intangible assets at September 30, 2007 are as follows:

Per the People’s Republic of China’s governmental regulations, the Government owns all land. The Company leases land per a real estate contract with the government of the People’s Republic of China for a period from November 2006 through October 2056. The Company obtained possession of the land in July of 2005. Accordingly, the Company is amortizing the cost of the right to use land from that date.

The right to use land is amortized over a period of 50 years and the computer software is amortized over three years.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets is $620,000 for a good faith deposit with a company that the Company is in negotiations to acquire (see Note 11).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Statement of financial accounting standard No. 107, Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 104. Revenue is recognized when services are rendered to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectibility is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue. The Company is not subject to VAT withholdings.
 
The Company gives volume rebates to certain customers based on volume achieved. The Company accrues sales rebates based on actual sales volume.
 

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees. There were 32,000 options outstanding at September 30, 2007.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the company made a comprehensive review of its portfolio of tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by FIN 48. As a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48, the Company recognized no material adjustments to liabilities or stockholders’ equity. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

(UNAUDITED)

Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain statements, however, require entities to report specific changes in assets and liabilities, such as gain or loss on foreign currency translation, as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. The functional currency of the Company is Chinese Renminbi. The unit of Renminbi is in Yuan. Translation gains of $438,916 at September 30, 2007 are classified as an item of other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income included translation gains of $322,070 and $46,250, respectively.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), “Earnings Per Share”. SFAS No. 128 superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Net earnings per share for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. There were no options, warrants or dilutive securities outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, there were 32,000 options outstanding and 611,787 warrants outstanding. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company’s average stock price was greater than some of the exercise prices which resulted in additional common stock equivalents of 167,723 and 20,793 shares, respectively.
 
Statement of Cash Flows

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Segment Reporting

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (“SFAS 131”), “Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company has determined that it has three reportable segments (See Note 10).

Recent Pronouncements
 
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements,” which establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under the accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for fiscal year, including financial statements for an interim period within the fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 157 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R
 
In September 2006, the FASB, issued SFAS, No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R,” which requires employers to recognize the underfunded or overfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income. Additionally, SFAS No. 158 requires employers to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. The new reporting requirements and related new footnote disclosure rules of SFAS No. 158 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 158 for the year end 2006, and the effect of recognizing the funded status in accumulated other comprehensive income was not significant. The new measurement date requirement applies for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008.
 
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In February of 2007 the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” The statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is analyzing the potential accounting treatment.

Note 5 - Employee Welfare Plan

The Company had its own employee welfare plan in accordance with Chinese law and regulations before all three subsidiaries in China became Sino-foreign joint ventures. The Company made annual contributions of 14% of all employees’ salaries to the employee welfare plan. The total expense for the above plan was $12,009 and $137,474 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In accordance with Chinese law, a Sino-foreign joint venture is not required to accrue welfare payable in advance. All three subsidiaries have stopped accruing such payable since each changed into a Sino-foreign company. Instead, welfare expense is recorded as incurred. As of September 30, 2007, welfare payable has a balance of $56,165, which is included in tax and welfare payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
 
Note 6 - Statutory Common Welfare Fund
 
As stipulated by the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), net income after taxation can only be distributed as dividends after appropriation has been made for the following:

 
i.
Making up cumulative prior years’ losses, if any;

 
ii.
Allocations to the “Statutory surplus reserve” of at least 10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, until the fund amounts to 50% of the Company’s registered capital;

 
iii.
Allocations of 5-10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to the Company’s “Statutory common welfare fund” (“SCWF”), which is established for the purpose of providing employee facilities and other collective benefits to the Company’s employees; and

 
iv.
Allocations to the discretionary surplus reserve, if approved in the stockholders’ general meeting.

Pursuant to the new Corporate Law effective on January 1, 2006, there is now only one “Statutory surplus reserve” requirement. The reserve is 10 percent of income after tax, not to exceed 50 percent of registered capital.

Pursuant to the “Circular of the Ministry of Finance ( MOF) on the Issue of Corporate Financial Management after the Corporate Law Enforced” (No.67 [2006]), effective on April 1, 2006, issued by the MOF, the companies will transfer the balance of SCWF as of December. 31, 2005 to Statutory Surplus Reserve. Any deficit in the SCWF will be charged in turn to Statutory Surplus Reserve, additional paid-in capital and undistributed profit of previous years. If a deficit still remains, it should be transferred to retained earnings and be reduced to zero by a transfer from after tax profit of following years. At September 30, 2007, the Company did not have a deficit in the SCWF.

The Company has appropriated $276,535 and $84,106 as reserve for the statutory surplus reserve and welfare fund for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Note 7 - Related Party Transactions

In July 2006, as a result of an investment by a foreign investor in one of the Company’s subsidiaries, the Company’s subsidiary became a Sino-Foreign Joint Venture. Pursuant to the Chinese income tax law, the Company’s subsidiary became fully exempt from income tax for a period of two years from July 14, 2006 to July 14, 2008, followed by a reduced tax rate of 15% for the next three years. Concurrent with the exemption, the tax authorities waived approximately CNY 3,400,000 ($425,429) in taxes due.

On June 5, 2007, Shanghai Best received a tax exemption certificate from the local tax bureau and is exempt from income tax from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008, followed by a reduced tax rate of 15% for the next three years.
 
On April 25, 1007, Guangxi Huijie also received an exemption from income tax for the period from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2008. The exemption was issued by the local government because Guangxi Huijie is located in a zone where the federal government encourages the establishment of new entities.

The effect of the change of tax status has been accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, par. 28, which states that the effect of a change in tax status is computed as of the date of change and is included in the tax provision for continuing operations. Management believes that the local tax authorities would not have waived past taxes had it not been for the change in the Company’s subsidiary’s tax status.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” anticipate,” believe,” estimate,” continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those listed under the heading “Risk Factors” and those listed in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations 
 
Overview

We are incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada. We engage in the business of the research and development, manufacture, marketing and sale of fodder and blended feed for use in China’s domestic animal husbandry markets. Our chief source of revenues is the sale of feed products for pigs, however, we do produce other feed products for chickens and cows. We sell our products in approximately ten provinces within the People’s Republic of China.

We currently conduct our business through the following three operating subsidiaries in China:

 
·
Nanchang Best is located in the province of Jiangxi,
     
 
·
Shanghai Best is located in Shanghai City, and
     
 
·
Guangxi Huijie is located in the province of Guangxi.

We operate each subsidiary independently with regard to manufacturing and marketing and sales efforts. We share sales referrals and leads amongst the subsidiaries, but they do not compete against each other for new sales. Most of our research and development occurs at Nanchang and Guangxi, and each shares their efforts with the other and Shanghai. In addition, many of the administrative duties are performed by Nanchang for Shanghai, and we are attempting to study the feasibility of centralizing more administrative functions.

We are targeting growth through three main channels: (i) organic growth through increasing sales at each of our current operating subsidiaries, (ii) the distribution of our products through approximately 368 new franchise chain stores (as of October 25, 2007), and (iii) an aggressive acquisition program to increase the number of provinces in China in which we do business.

Our revenues increased 12.9% in 2006 as compared to 2005 and our net income increased 110% in 2006 as compared to 2005. Similarly, in the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, our revenues increased approximately 282.6% and our net income increased approximately 246.0% compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2006. The increases we experienced in both periods are the result of our organic growth at each operating subsidiary. In addition, the growth in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 reflects the acquisition of our Guangxi Huijie subsidiary in December 2006. Since we acquired Nanchang Best and Shanghai Best in October 2006, we have effectively marketed our products through a team based approach, sharing sales leads and referrals. We also developed the new Arubao Series of product at Nanchang Best and introduced the product in our three current subsidiaries.
 
20


Since January 2007, we established approximately 368 franchise chain stores to complement our existing distribution channels. We will continue to market our products to the operators of large swine farms and large distributors. We will now rely on the franchisees to market and sell our products to the smaller swine farms. Even though the number of small swine farms in China is declining, we did not want to lose revenues by forgoing sales to this market segment. We determined that the best and most efficient use of our resources is to concentrate on the larger customers and allow the franchisees to sell to the smaller farmers.

In order to provide excellent customer service and differentiate ourselves from our competition, at our customer’s request, we supply to them customized formulations of our products. In any given month, the cost of the various additives used in these customized formulations fluctuates, which can result in temporary increases in unit cost of goods sold. We believe even though this may have an effect on our short term profits, we take the long term view that it increases customer loyalty and builds the AgFeed brand. The increase in our revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were mostly due to increases in the volume of products sold as a direct result of new products launched and our expansion to new markets. We also experienced increases in our cost of goods sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The costs of corn and soybean meal, which are two of our main raw materials, increased approximately 12% and 20%, respectively, over their levels from the quarter ended June 30, 2007. In order to remain competitive in our markets, we have resisted increasing our prices through the first six months of 2007. However, during the three month period ended September 30, 2007 we did pass some of these cost increases on to our customers. Accordingly, our revenues have not increased during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 in proportion to our cost of goods sold. We believe that this competitive pricing strategy has and will continue to increase our sales volume and ultimately increase our long-term revenue growth.

We also continue to aggressively search throughout China for acquisition targets in our industry and in related industries such as pig breeding and commercial hog farms. In light of surging pork prices in China due to rising consumer demand and severe pork supply shortages, we have been exploring opportunities to enter China’s commercial hog farm business through acquisition of existing commercial hog farms as well as building new hog farms. We believe the commercial hog farm business would contribute significant revenues to our financial performance in 2008 and beyond.

The growth in sales and net revenues we experienced in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 compared to the first nine months of 2006 was due in part to our acquisition of Guangxi Huijie late in December 2006.

Critical Accounting Policies

In presenting our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Several of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. However, events that are outside of our control cannot be predicted and, as such, they cannot be contemplated in evaluating such estimates and assumptions. If there is a significant unfavorable change to current conditions, it will likely result in a material adverse impact to our consolidated results of operations, financial position and in liquidity. We believe that the estimates and assumptions we used when preparing our financial statements were the most appropriate at that time. Presented below are those accounting policies that we believe require subjective and complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results.
 
21


USE OF ESTIMATES: Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment of long-lived assets, and allowance for doubtful accounts. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.

Areas that require estimates and assumptions include valuation of accounts receivable and inventory, determination of useful lives of property and equipment, estimation of certain liabilities and sales returns.

Allowance For Doubtful Accounts
 
The Company continually monitors customer payments and maintains a reserve for estimated losses resulting from its customers’ inability to make required payments. In determining the reserve, the Company evaluates the collectibility of its accounts receivable based upon a variety of factors. In cases where the Company becomes aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations, the Company records a specific allowance against amounts due. For all other customers, the Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts based on its historical write-off experience in conjunction with the length of time the receivables are past due, customer creditworthiness, geographic risk and the current business environment. Actual future losses from uncollectible accounts may differ from the Company’s estimates.

Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company evaluates its ending inventories for estimated excess quantities and obsolescence. The Company’s evaluation includes the analysis of future sales demand by product, within specific time horizons. Inventories in excess of projected future demand are written down to net realizable value. In addition, the Company assesses the impact of changing technology on inventory balances and writes-down inventories that are considered obsolete. Inventory obsolescence and excess quantities have historically been minimal.

Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company periodically assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” SFAS No. 144 requires, among other things, that an entity perform an impairment review whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. Factors considered by the Company include, but are not limited to: significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business; and significant negative industry or economic trends. When the Company determines that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows and eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. An impairment loss is reflected as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair market value of the asset, based on the fair market value if available, or discounted cash flows. To date, there has been no impairment of long-lived assets.
 
22


Property and equipment: Useful lives of property and equipment is based on historical experience and industry norms. Changes in useful lives due to changes in technology or other factors can affect future depreciation estimates.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION: Our revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 104. Revenue is recognized when services are rendered to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations exist and collectibility is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue. We are not subject to VAT withholdings. We give volume rebates to certain customers based on volume achieved. We accrue sales rebates based on actual sales volume. Sales rebates for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007 were $74,046 and $258,503 and $46,111 and $280,983 respectively. Sales returns for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007 were $59,155 and $56,470 respectively.

We make estimates and judgments when determining whether the collectibility of revenue from customers is reasonably assured. Management estimates regarding collectibility impact the actual revenues recognized each period and the timing of the recognition of revenues. Our assumptions and judgments regarding future collectibility could differ from actual events, thus materially impacting our financial position and results of operations.

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.

The Company gives volume rebates to certain customers based on volume achieved. Sales rebates are accrued based on actual sales volume. The Company does not offer any of its customers the unconditional right to return purchased products. Customers are only permitted to return defective products. In addition, the Company does not provide any price protection or similar rights to its customers.

There are no differences in the Company’s arrangements with its different types of customers. Accordingly, the Company does not have different revenue recognition policies for different types of customers.

The Company offers credit terms ranging from 30 to 90 days for most customers. For some large customers, the Company may extend these terms beyond 90 days.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under the accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for the fiscal year, including financial statements for an interim period within the fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 157 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R
 
In September 2006, the FASB, issued SFAS, No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R,” which requires employers to recognize the underfunded or overfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income. Additionally, SFAS No. 158 requires employers to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. The new reporting requirements and related new footnote disclosure rules of SFAS No. 158 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 158 for the year end 2006, and the effect of recognizing the funded status in accumulated other comprehensive income was not significant. The new measurement date requirement applies for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008.

Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In February of 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” The statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. We are analyzing the potential accounting treatment.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

FASB Staff Position on FAS No. 115-1 and FAS No. 124-1 (“the FSP”), “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” was issued in November 2005 and addresses the determination of when an investment is considered impaired, whether the impairment on an investment is other-than-temporary and how to measure an impairment loss. The FSP also addresses accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of other-than-temporary impairments on a debt security, and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The FSP replaces the impairment guidance on Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-1 with references to existing authoritative literature concerning other-than-temporary determinations. Under the FSP, losses arising from impairment deemed to be other-than-temporary, must be recognized in earnings at an amount equal to the entire difference between the securities cost and its fair value at the financial statement date, without considering partial recoveries subsequent to that date. The FSP also required that an investor recognize other-than-temporary impairment losses when a decision to sell a security has been made and the investor does not expect the fair value of the security to fully recover prior to the expected time of sale. The FSP is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this statement will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company made a comprehensive review of its portfolio of tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by FIN 48. As a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48, the Company recognized no material adjustments to liabilities or stockholders equity. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” (“SAB 108”),which provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. The Company adopted SAB 108 in the fourth quarter of 2006 with no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenues. The increase in revenues was due to an increase in the volume of feed products that we sold, the acquisition of the Guangxi Huijie subsidiary and the introduction in the first quarter of 2007 of the Airubao Series, a new special blended feed product formulated especially for baby pigs. Guangxi sold approximately 2,697 metric tons (MT) of premix volume during the three month period ended September 30, 2007, Nanchang experienced an increase of approximately 358 MT and Shanghai experienced an increase of approximately 1,514 MT of premix during the three month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2006 to account for the increase in premix sales volume. For comparative purposes, we analyze the blended feed and Airubao Series together. The blended category sold 8,186 MT compared to only 344 MT during the same period a year ago. This increase was due to the new Airubao sales, approximately 1,342 MT of blended feed sold by Guangxi, and an increase of approximately 151 MT of blended sales at Nanchang. Shanghai sold no blended feed in all of 2006 and only sells the Airubao Series in the blended feed category. Guangxi accounted for approximately 1,188MT, Nanchang contributed an approximate increase of 43MT, and Shanghai had an approximate decrease of 23 MT of other feed products sold during the three month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2006. Overall, the Guangxi acquisition provided approximately 29.4% of our revenues while Nanchang provided 45.8% and Shanghai provided 24.8% of our total revenues during the three month period ended September 30, 2007. Guangxi contributed approximately 30.3%, Nanchang approximately 47.7% and Shanghai approximately 22% of the total volume of feed sold during the three month period ended September 30, 2007. Nanchang’s revenues increased approximately 357% during the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Shanghai’s revenues increased approximately 265% during the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.
 
25


During the 3 month period ended September 30, 2007 we increased the average price of all of our products primarily as result of the increasing costs of raw materials. We strategically did not seek to maximize our sales prices earlier in the year in order to remain competitive in our markets. However rising costs of goods sold experienced throughout our industry have caused us to increase our pricing during this period.

The average sale price/MT was calculated in U.S. Dollars using a conversion factor of 0.1335 US Dollar to 1 RMB. The average price for each product category was calculated by multiplying the prices charged in each product category at each operating subsidiary by a weighted average of revenues generated in each product category at each operating subsidiary as compared to total revenues generated by that product by all operating subsidiaries for the period. The Airubao Series is included in the calculations for blended feed.

During the first quarter of 2007, we launched the Airubao Series, a new special blended feed designed specifically for baby pigs. The Airubao Series is meant to be used four days after weaning. The main ingredients used in these products are amino acids, vitamins, feed additives and minerals. These products are intended to maximize the baby pig’s feed intake, help the baby pig adapt to corn feeding, enhance immunity and digestibility and reduce post-weaning syndrome. We anticipate that the large pig farms will be the largest users of the Airubao Series although we have also introduced the Series to the small individual farmers. We have gained immediate acceptance from our customers. We shipped approximately $4.9 million of this new product to customers during the three month period ended September 30, 2007. This product line consists of a series of three distinct formulations, the average gross margin is approximately 26.4%, and the average selling price is approximately $754 per MT. The Annual Report on China’s Feed Industry, published by the Chinese government, estimates that the market for premium baby pig feed is approximately $3.8 billion per year.

Cost of Goods Sold. We experienced approximately 10.3% and 41% increases in the unit cost of goods sold for blended feed and premix products, respectively, during the three month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. In order to provide excellent customer service and differentiate ourselves from our competition, at our customer’s request, we supply customized formulations of our products. In any given period, the cost of the various additives used as raw materials in our products fluctuates, which can result in increases in unit cost of goods sold. During the three month period ended September 30, 2007, the costs of corn and soybean meal increased approximately 12% and 20%, respectively over their levels during the three month period ended June 30, 2007. These additives constitute approximately 70% of our raw material costs. These increased costs offset our increases in revenues. Even though this may have an adverse effect on our short term profits, we take the long term view that this practice results in customer loyalty, builds the AgFeed brand and will ultimately lead to increased sales and gross profits. Nanchang experienced a 422.2% increase in cost of goods sold during the three month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Shanghai experienced a 349% increase in cost of goods sold during the three month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.

Gross Profit. Gross margins decreased to 27.28% from 37.91% during the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period last year. The decrease in gross margin can be attributed to several factors: (i) the cost of introducing the Airubao Series; (ii) we experienced an approximate 10.3% increase in the unit cost of goods sold of blended feed during the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006; and (iii) the unit cost of goods sold for premix products increased approximately 41% during the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.

Gross margins at Nanchang for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 were approximately 27.3% compared to 36.4% for the same period in 2006. Gross margins at Shanghai for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 were 26.6% compared to 39.1% for the same period in 2006. Gross margins at Guangxi for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 were approximately 26.7%.  Gross margin calculations for each subsidiary are calculated prior to any adjustments for intercompany sales, which are reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. During the three month period ended September 30, 2007, we incurred expenses for professional services associated with being a publicly traded United States reporting company of approximately $150,000. We did not incur these expenses during the same period in 2006. The increase in our general and administrative expense also reflects the addition of our Guangxi subsidiary, which had approximately $71,400 of general and administrative expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2007. General and administrative expense includes overhead expenses such as rent, management and staff salaries, general insurance, marketing, accounting, legal and offices expenses. Selling expenses for the period increased by 138.1% due to the 487.88% increase in revenues and the costs associated with entering markets in neighboring provinces, as well as the addition of our Guangxi subsidiary, which had approximately $223,200 of selling expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2007. We attempted to control our selling expenses through the use of strict cost controls and efficient use of our distribution channels.
 
27


Net Income. Our increase in net income was due to an increase in income from operations and an increase in non-operating income due to net interest income of approximately $17,600. The major reason for the increase in non-operating expense during this period in 2007 was interest earned on the net proceeds of our financings of approximately $45,000 and other income of approximately $3,400 offset by interest paid in connection with short term loans of approximately $31,000. In addition, our Nanchang Best subsidiary became a Sino Foreign Joint Venture due to an investment by a foreign investor in July 2006. Nanchang Best receives favorable tax status and is exempt from all income tax through July 14, 2008 and then will pay a reduced rate of 15% for the next three years.

Revenues. The increase in revenues was due to an increase in the volume of feed products that we sold, the acquisition of the Guangxi Huijie subsidiary and the introduction in early 2007 of the Airubao Series, a new special blended feed product formulated especially for baby pigs. Guangxi contributed approximately 6,019 MT of premix volume during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, Nanchang experienced a decrease of approximately 70 MT and Shanghai experienced an increase of approximately 1,335 MT of premix during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 to account for the increase in premix volume. We focused on increasing sales of the Airubao Series, which is a special blended feed product. For comparative purposes, we will analyze the blended feed and Airubao Series together. This increase was due primarily to the new Airubao sales and approximately 2,922 MT of blended feed sold by Guangxi. Nanchang sold 12,165 MT during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 1,097 MT during the same period in 2006. Guangxi also accounted for 1,581 MT of other feed products, Nanchang sold 226 MT and Shanghai sold 231 MT of other feed products during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Overall, the Guangxi acquisition provided approximately 28.4% of our revenues while Nanchang provided 46.6% and Shanghai provided 25.0% of our total revenues during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007. Guangxi contributed approximately 28.1%, Nanchang approximately 48.4% and Shanghai approximately 23.5% of the total volume of feed sold during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007. Nanchang’s revenues increased approximately 197.5% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Shanghai’s revenues increased approximately 151.1% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.

The increase in the average sales price of our blended products during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period during 2006 contributed to our increase in revenues, as well as the growth in sales volume in all of our product categories.

The average sale price/MT was calculated in U.S. Dollars using a conversion factor of one US dollar to 0.1335 RMB. The average price for each product category was calculated by multiplying the prices charged in each product category at each operating subsidiary by a weighted average of revenues generated in each product category at each operating subsidiary as compared to total revenues generated by that product by all operating subsidiaries for the period. The Airubao Series is included in the calculations for blended feed.

During the first quarter of 2007, we launched the Airubao Series, a new special blended feed designed specifically for baby pigs. We have gained immediate acceptance of this product from our customers. We shipped approximately $10.2 million of this new product to customers during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007. This product line consists of a series of three distinct formulations, the average gross margin is approximately 23.76% and the average selling price is approximately $725 per MT. The Annual Report on China’s Feed Industry, published by the Chinese government, estimates that the market for premium baby pig feed is approximately $3.8 billion per year.

Cost of Goods Sold. We experienced an approximate 26.33% and 24.68% increase in the unit cost of goods sold for blended feed and premix products, respectively, during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. In order to provide excellent customer service and differentiate ourselves from our competition, at our customer’s request, we supply to them customized formulations of our products. In any given month, the cost of the various additives used fluctuates, which can result in temporary increases in unit cost of goods sold. We experienced an increase in the costs of corn and soybean meal of approximately 12% and 20%, respectively over their levels during the six month period ended June 30, 2007. These additives constitute approximately 70% of our raw material costs. These increased costs offset our increases in revenues. Even though this may have an adverse effect on our short term profits, we take the long term view that this practice results in increased customer loyalty, builds the AgFeed brand and will ultimately lead to increased sales and gross profits. In addition, we are presently experiencing more stable pricing in these additives, which we anticipate will stabilize our cost of goods sold.

Nanchang experienced a 247.11% increase in cost of goods sold during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Shanghai experienced a 203.57% increase in cost of goods sold during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.

Gross Profit. Gross margins decreased to 28.61% from 37.91% for the same period last year. The decrease in gross margin can be attributed to several factors: (i) the cost of introducing the Airubao Series; (ii) we experienced an approximate 26.33% increase in the unit cost of goods sold of blended feed during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006; (iii) the unit cost of goods sold for premix products increased approximately 24.68% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.

Gross margins at Nanchang for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 were approximately 25.84% compared to 36.44% for the same period in 2006. Gross margins at Shanghai for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 were 27.33% compared to 39.89% for the same period in 2006. Gross margins at Guangxi for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 were approximately 28.30%.  Gross margin calculations for each subsidiary are calculated prior to any adjustments for intercompany sales, which are reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. We incurred legal and audit expense in the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 of approximately $219,000 associated with being a publicly traded United States reporting company that we did not incur during the same period in 2006. The increase in our general and administrative expense also reflects the addition of our Guangxi subsidiary, which had approximately $183,400 of general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. General and administrative expense includes overhead expenses such as rent, management and staff salaries, general insurance, marketing, accounting and legal and office expenses. Selling expenses for the period increased by 80.5% due to the 282.63% increase in revenues and the costs associated with entering markets in neighboring provinces as well as the addition of our Guangxi subsidiary, which had approximately $423,000 of selling expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. We attempted to control our selling expenses through the use of strict cost controls and efficient use of our distribution channels.

Net Income. Our increase in net income was due to an increase in income from operations offset by an increase in non-operating income due to net interest expense offset by other income of approximately $19,000. The major reason for the increase in non-operating income during this period in 2007 was interest earned on the net proceeds of our financings of approximately $99,500 and other income of approximately $14,000 offset by interest paid in connection with short term loans of approximately $95,000. In addition, our Nanchang Best subsidiary became a Sino Foreign Joint Venture due to an investment by a foreign investor in July 2006. Nanchang Best receives favorable tax status and is exempt from all income tax through July 14, 2008 and then will pay a reduced rate of 15% for the next three years.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There were no off-balance sheet arrangements during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future affect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our interests.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2007, we had $10,007,903 cash and cash equivalents on hand. During the nine month period ending September 30, 2007, we completed two private placement offerings of our securities. Through the final closing of the first private placement offering on April 29, 2007, we received aggregate gross proceeds of $6,830,259 from the sale of an aggregate of 2,276,753 units to 37 accredited investors. Each unit was priced at $3.00 and represented one share of our common stock and a warrant to purchase 8% of one share of common stock. Accordingly, we issued an aggregate of 2,276,753 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 182,146 shares of our common stock to the 37 accredited investors who participated in this offering.  In connection with the private placement, fees of 8% of the securities placed were paid in cash and a number of common stock purchase warrants equal to 8% of the units placed were paid to participating dealers and a finder. Accordingly, we paid $546,421 and issued warrants to purchase 182,141 shares of our common stock to the participating dealers and a finder. All stock purchase warrants have a three year term and have an initial exercise price of $5.00. We received net proceeds from the private placement of $6,247,503, after deduction of costs associated with the financing of $582,756.

On June 22, 2007, we completed a second private placement offering pursuant to which we sold 750,000 units at an offering price of $4.00 per unit for gross proceeds of $3,000,000. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase 25% of one share of common stock. Accordingly, we issued 750,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 187,500 shares of our common stock to the one accredited investor that participated in this offering. In connection with this private placement offering, a fee of 8% of the securities placed was paid in cash and a number of common stock purchase warrants equal to 8% of the units placed were paid to a finder. Accordingly, we paid $240,000 in cash and issued warrants to purchase 60,000 shares of our common stock to the finder. All stock purchase warrants are exercisable for a period of three years at an exercise price of $5.60 per share. We received net proceeds from the private placement of $2,760,000, after deduction of costs associated with the financing.

We used $1,131,000 of the net proceeds from these private placement offerings to repay the short term bank loan we had in connection with our acquisition Guangxi Huijie. We also used $620,000 to make a good faith deposit with an agricultural feed company located in China that we were in negotiations to acquire. We conducted a due diligence investigation of this company and have subsequently decided not to pursue this acquisition. We have signed a termination consent with this company and fully expect that we will receive a full refund of the $620,000 on or before November 15, 2007.

As of September 30, 2007, we had total loans payable of $1,718,878, comprised of three loans. There was one short term bank loan to Nanchang of $800,766, with an interest rate of 7.44% per annum payable monthly. This loan matures on May 27, 2008, and is collateralized by our office building, workshop, employee dorms, and use right of land. There are two short term bank loans to Guangxi Huijie totaling $918,212 as follows:

During the three months ended September 30, 2007 we repaid a bank loan to Guangxi in the amount of $118,235. On October 11, 2007, we repaid the bank loan to Guangxi that matured on that date.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we repaid advances totaling $746,645 to entities in which Mr. Junhong Xiong, our President and Chief Executive Officer, had an equity interest. Mr. Xiong sold his interest in all of these entities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our operating activities provided cash of $321,619. This provision of cash was primarily due to net income of $4,315,443, depreciation of $118,038, amortization of $51,715, an increase of accounts payable of $769,627, an increase of accrued expenses of $189,348, a decrease of $101,436 in due from a related party and an increase of accrued payroll of $120,822, all offset by an increase of 4,470,647 in accounts receivable, an increase of $93,489 in other receivables, an increase in inventory in the amount of $410,529, an increase in prepaid expenses of $274,268 and a decrease in tax and welfare payable in the amount $76,094.

We used $117,485 in investing activities during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 for the acquisition of property and equipment and $620,000 as a deposit for a potential acquisition that we subsequently abandoned.

We received $9,059,182 in cash from financing activities. We received $8,767,503, net of $1,062,756 of offering costs, from the sale of our securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. We also received $977,008 from the proceeds of loans. We collected $226,083 for subscription receivables and $942,676 from related parties due to us. These amounts were offset by the following payments we made: $752,084 repayment to shareholders and the payment of $1,102,004 on the note receivable associated with the acquisition of Guangxi.

At September 30, 2007, our accounts receivable balance was approximately $6.3 million, which was approximately 53% of our net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The reason for the large increase in our accounts receivable at September 30, 2007 is that our sales increased due to the introduction of our Airubao series of products during the first quarter of 2007. Approximately $9.7 million or 75% of our sales during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 occurred in August and September 2007. Given that our credit terms range from 30-90 days and in certain cases exceed 90 days, a significant portion of these sales remained in accounts receivable at September 30, 2007. Through October 30, 2007, we had collected approximately $4.6 million of the approximately $5.3 million of accounts receivable at June 30, 2007, of which approximately $488,000 of the amount collected was greater than 90 days old at June 30, 2007. We anticipate collecting approximately 85% of this remaining balance of accounts receivable that were greater than 90 days old at June 30, 2007 in 2007 and a substantial portion of the remaining balance during 2008.   

Our principal demands for liquidity are to increase capacity, raw materials purchase, sales distribution, and the possible acquisition of new subsidiaries or joint ventures in our industry as opportunities present themselves, as well as general corporate purposes. We estimate that we will require approximately $6,200,000 to maintain our current operations and achieve these goals in 2007, which include a potential joint venture outside of China and an additional acquisition that we are presently budgeting. We will also require an additional $3,000,000 that we are budgeting for a potential acquisition in 2008. We anticipate that the amount of cash we have on hand as of the date of this report as well as the cash that we will generate from operations will satisfy these requirements. In light of surging pork prices in China due to rising consumer demand and severe pork supply shortages, we have been exploring opportunities to enter China’s commercial hog farm business through acquisition of existing commercial hog farms as well as building new hog farms. We believe the commercial hog farm business would contribute significant revenues to our financial performance in 2008 and beyond. In the event we determine to pursue an aggressive acquisition program to meet this goal in 2008, we will need to raise additional funds from the sale of our securities in order to have sufficient funds to complete these acquisitions.

32


We intend to meet our liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures related to the purchase of equipment, purchase of raw materials, and the expansion of our business, through cash flow provided by operations and funds raised through cash investments. We may also use short term loans bank loans to meet our liquidity requirements.

The majority of the Company’s revenues and expenses were denominated primarily in Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency of the People’s Republic of China. There is no assurance that exchange rates between the RMB and the U.S. Dollar will remain stable. The Company does not engage in currency hedging. Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company’s business.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below in evaluating our business and future prospects. The risks described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. Our business could be harmed by any of these risks. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks and you may lose all or part of your investment. In assessing these risks, you should also refer to the other information contained in this reports, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Risks Related to Our Business

We cannot be certain that our product innovations and marketing successes will continue.
 
We believe that our past performance has been based on, and our future success will depend upon, in part, our ability to continue to improve our existing products through product innovation and to develop, market and produce new products. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in the introduction, marketing and production of any new products or product innovations, or that we will develop and introduce in a timely manner innovations to our existing products which satisfy customer needs or achieve market acceptance. Our failure to develop new products and introduce them successfully and in a timely manner could harm our ability to grow our business and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our success depends on our management team and other key personnel, the loss of any of whom could disrupt our business operations.

Our future success will depend in substantial part on the continued service of our senior management and founders. The loss of the services of one or more of our key personnel could impede implementation and execution of our business strategy and result in the failure to reach our goals. We do not carry key person life insurance in respect of any of our officers or employees. Our future success will also depend on the continued ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified personnel in many fields of our operations. The rapid growth of the economy in The People’s Republic of China has caused intense competition for qualified personnel. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our key personnel or that we will be able to attract, train or retain qualified personnel in the future.
 
33

 
Our acquisition strategy involves a number of risks and we have a limited history of successful acquisitions. Even when an acquisition is completed, we may have integration issues that may not produce as positive results as management may have projected.
 
We have completed one acquisition since 2006 and intend to grow through the acquisition of additional companies.
 
We are regularly engaged in acquisition discussions with a number of companies located in China and anticipate that one or more potential acquisition opportunities, including those that would be material, may become available in the near future. If and when appropriate acquisition opportunities become available, we intend to pursue them actively. Acquisitions involve a number of special risks, including:
 
 
·
 
failure of the acquired business to achieve expected results;
 
 
·
 
diversion of management’s attention;
 
 
·
 
failure to retain key personnel of the acquired business;
 
 
·
 
additional financing, if necessary and available, could increase leverage, dilute equity, or both;
 
 
·
 
the potential negative effect on our financial statements from the increase in goodwill and other intangibles; and
 
 
·
 
the high cost and expenses of completing acquisitions and risks associated with unanticipated events or liabilities.
 
These risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We have faced, and expect to continue to face, increased competition for acquisition candidates, which may limit our number of opportunities to acquire companies and may lead to higher acquisition prices. We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify, acquire, or manage profitably additional businesses or to integrate successfully any acquired businesses into our existing business without substantial costs, delays or other operational or financial difficulties. In future acquisitions, we also could incur additional indebtedness or pay consideration in excess of fair value, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we may inadvertently assume unknown liabilities in acquisitions that we complete. Assumption of unknown liabilities in acquisitions may harm our financial condition and operating results. Acquisitions may be structured in such a manner that would result in the assumption of unknown liabilities not disclosed by the seller or uncovered during pre-acquisition due diligence. These obligations and liabilities could harm our financial condition and operating results.
 
Rising energy prices could adversely affect our operating results.
 
In the last few years, energy prices have risen dramatically, which has resulted in increased fuel costs for our businesses and raw materials costs for our branded products. Rising energy prices could adversely affect demand for our products and increase our operating costs, both of which would reduce our sales and operating income.

We rely on independently owned wholesale distributors who do not exclusively offer our products to their customers.
 
The loss of, or significant adverse change in, our relationship with any of our key wholesale distributors could cause our net sales, income from operations and cash flow to decline. The loss of, or reduction in, orders from any significant customer, losses arising from customer disputes regarding shipments, fees, merchandise condition or related matters, or our inability to collect accounts receivable from any major customer could reduce our income from operations and cash flow.
 
We may not be able to reach our revenue and net income targets due to unpredictable market conditions.
 
Our primary end user customers are commercial hog farms and individual farmers. Although hog prices in The People’s Republic of China have reached multi-year highs, we cannot predict how long such favorable environment may last or predict the buying behavior of our customers as they adjust to market conditions. Therefore, our market expectations and projections may exceed our actual financial performance.

We are a major purchaser of many commodities that we use for raw materials and packaging, and price changes for the commodities we depend on may adversely affect our profitability.

We enter into contracts for the purchase of raw materials at fixed prices, which are designed to protect us against raw material price increases during their term. However, when necessary, we attempt to recover our commodity cost increases by increasing prices, promoting a higher-margin product mix and creating additional operating efficiencies. Nevertheless, the raw materials used in our business are largely commodities that experience price fluctuations caused by external conditions and changes in governmental agricultural programs.

We also use paper products, such as corrugated cardboard, aluminum products, films and plastics to package our products. Substantial increases in prices of packaging materials or higher prices of our raw materials could adversely affect our operating performance and financial results.

Commodity price changes may result in unexpected increases in raw material and packaging costs, and we may be unable to increase our prices to offset these increased costs without suffering reduced volume, revenue and income. In addition, any substantial fluctuation in the prices of raw materials, if not offset by increases in our sales prices, could adversely affect our profitability.

Outbreaks of livestock disease can adversely affect sales of our products.

Outbreaks of livestock diseases can significantly affect demand for our products. An outbreak of disease could result in governmental restrictions on the sale of livestock products to or from customers, or require our customers to destroy their flocks. This could result in the cancellation of orders by our customers and create adverse publicity that may have a material adverse effect on the agricultural products industry and our ability to market our products successfully.

Our products and processes can expose us to product liability claims.

Product liability claims or product recalls can adversely affect our business reputation and expose us to increased scrutiny by local, provincial, and central governmental regulators. The packaging, marketing and distribution of agricultural feed products entail an inherent risk of product liability and product recall and the resultant adverse publicity. We may be subject to significant liability if the consumption of any of our products causes injury, illness or death of livestock, other animals or humans. We could be required to recall certain of our products in the event of contamination or damage to the products. In addition to the risks of product liability or product recall due to deficiencies caused by our production or processing operations, we may encounter the same risks if any third party tampers with our products. We cannot assure you that we will not be required to perform product recalls, or that product liability claims will not be asserted against us, in the future. Any claims that may be made may create adverse publicity that would have a material adverse effect on our ability to market our products successfully or on our business, reputation, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. A successful product liability claim in excess of our insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on us and could prevent us from obtaining adequate product liability insurance in the future on commercially reasonable terms.
 
35


We may not be able to obtain regulatory approvals for our products.

The manufacture and sale of agricultural products in The People’s Republic of China is regulated by The People’s Republic of China and the local provincial governments. Although our licenses and regulatory filings are current, the uncertain legal environment in The People’s Republic of China and its industry may be vulnerable to local government agencies or other parties who wish to renegotiate the terms and conditions of, or terminate their agreements or other understandings with us.

We face significant competition in the sales of our agricultural feed products.

Competition in the agricultural feed industry, especially with companies with greater resources, may make us unable to compete successfully in these industries, which could adversely affect our business.

In general, the competitive factors in the agricultural feed industry in The People’s Republic of China include:

 
·
Price;

 
·
Product quality;

 
·
Brand identification;

 
·
Breadth of product line; and

 
·
Customer service.

To the extent that our products and services do not exhibit these qualities, our ability to compete will be hindered.

Concerns with the safety and quality of agricultural feed products could cause customers to avoid our products.

We could be adversely affected if our customers and the ultimate consumers of our products lose confidence in the safety and quality of various feed products. Adverse publicity about these types of concerns, such as the recent publicity concerning the substance melamine, whether or not valid, may discourage our customers from buying our products or cause production and delivery disruptions. Any negative change in customer perceptions about the safety and quality of our products could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
 
36


If our feed products become adulterated or misbranded, we would need to recall those items and may experience product liability claims if consumers are injured as a result.

Animal feed products occasionally contain contaminants due to inherent defects in those products or improper storage or handling. Under adverse circumstances, animal feed manufacturers may need to recall some of their products if they become adulterated or misbranded and may also be liable if the consumption of any of their products causes injury.

While we have never been required to recall any of our products and we maintain insurance that we believe is adequate to cover this type of loss, a widespread product recall could result in changes to one or more of our business processes, product shortages, a loss of customer confidence in our food or other adverse effects on our business.

If we are required to defend against a product liability claim, whether or not we are found liable under the claim, we could incur substantial costs, our reputation could suffer and our customers might substantially reduce their existing or future orders from us.

We may not be able to adequately protect and maintain our intellectual property, trademark, and brand names.

Our success will depend on our ability to continue to develop and market fodder and blended feed products. We currently have not applied for patents for our products or formulae, as our management believes an application for such patents would result in public knowledge of our proprietary technology and formulas. As we do not have patent protection for this technology or formulae, we may not be able to protect our rights to this intellectual property, if our competitors discover or illegally obtain this technology or formulae. Our inability to protect our rights to this intellectual property may adversely affect our ability to prevent competitors from using our products and developments.

Some of our significant customer and supplier contracts are short-term.

Some of our customers and suppliers operate through purchase orders or short-term contracts. Though we have long-term business relationships with many of our customers and suppliers and alternative sources of supply for key items, we cannot be sure that any of these customers or suppliers will continue to do business with us on the same basis. Additionally, although we try to renew these contracts as they expire, there can be no assurance that these customers or suppliers will renew these contracts on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. The termination of or modification to any number of these contracts may adversely affect our business and prospects, including our financial performance and results of operations.

Changes in the corporate and securities laws and regulations are likely to increase our costs.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), which became law in July 2002, has required changes in some of the corporate governance, securities disclosure and compliance practices of United States public companies. In response to the requirements of SOX, the SEC and major stock exchanges have promulgated new rules and listing standards covering a variety of subjects. Compliance with these rules and listing standards that are likely to increase our general and administrative costs, and we expect these costs to continue to increase in the future. In particular, we will be required to include the management and auditor reports on internal control as part of our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2007 pursuant to Section 404 of SOX. We will shortly begin the process of evaluating our internal control systems in order (i) to allow management to report on, and our independent auditors to attest to our internal controls, as required by these laws, rules and regulations, (ii) to provide reasonable assurance that our public disclosure will be accurate and complete, and (iii) to comply with the other provisions of Section 404 of SOX. We cannot be certain as to the timing of the completion of our evaluation, testing and remediation actions or the impact these may have on our operations. Furthermore, there is no precedent available by which to measure compliance adequacy. If we are not able to implement the requirements relating to internal controls and all other provisions of Section 404 in a timely fashion or achieve adequate compliance with these requirements or other requirements of SOX, we might become subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities such as the SEC or the Nasdaq Stock Market. Any such action may materially adversely affect our reputation, financial condition and the value of our securities, including our common stock. We expect that SOX and these other laws, rules and regulations will increase legal and financial compliance costs and will make our corporate governance activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly. We also expect that these new requirements will make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the United States.

Risks Related to Conducting Our Business in The People’s Republic of China

We are subject to international economic and political risks over which we have little or no control and may be unable to alter our business practice in time to avoid the possibility of reduced revenues.

All of our business is conducted in The People’s Republic of China. Doing business outside the United States, particularly in The People’s Republic of China, subjects us to various risks, including changing economic and political conditions, major work stoppages, exchange controls, currency fluctuations, armed conflicts and unexpected changes in United States and foreign laws relating to tariffs, trade restrictions, transportation regulations, foreign investments and taxation. We have no control over most of these risks and may be unable to anticipate changes in international economic and political conditions and, therefore, unable to alter out business practice in time to avoid the possibility of reduced revenues.

The People’s Republic of China’s economic policies could affect our business.

Substantially all of our assets are located in The People’s Republic of China and substantially all of our revenue is derived from our operations in The People’s Republic of China. Accordingly, our results of operations and prospects are subject, to a significant extent, to the economic, political and legal developments in The People’s Republic of China.
 
While The People’s Republic of China’s economy has experienced significant growth in the past twenty years, such growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall economy of The People’s Republic of China, but they may also have a negative effect on us. For example, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected by the government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. The economy of The People’s Republic of China has been changing from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. In recent years, the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform and the reduction of state ownership of productive assets, and the establishment of corporate governance in business enterprises; however, a substantial portion of productive assets in The People’s Republic of China are still owned by the Chinese government. In addition, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. It also exercises significant control over The People’s Republic of China’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, the control of payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, the setting of monetary policy and the provision of preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.
 
38


We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in The People’s Republic of China.

The People’s Republic of China historically has not adopted a Western style of management and financial reporting concepts and practices, as well as in modern banking, computer and other control systems. We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in The People’s Republic of China. As a result of these factors, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet Western standards.

Our bank accounts are not insured or protected against loss.

We maintain our cash with various banks and trust companies located in The People’s Republic of China. Our cash accounts are not insured or otherwise protected. Should any bank or trust company holding our cash deposits become insolvent, or if we are otherwise unable to withdraw funds, we would lose the cash on deposit with that particular bank or trust company.

As we have limited business insurance coverage in The People’s Republic of China, any loss which we suffer may not be insured or may be insured to only a limited extent.

The insurance industry in The People’s Republic of China is still in an early state of development and insurance companies located in The People’s Republic of China offer limited business insurance products. In the event of damage or loss to our properties, our insurance may not provide as much coverage as if we were insured by insurance companies in the United States.

We may face judicial corruption in The People’s Republic of China.

Another obstacle to foreign investment in The People’s Republic of China is corruption. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain recourse in any legal disputes with suppliers, customers or other parties with whom we conduct business, if desired, through The People’s Republic of China’s poorly developed and sometimes corrupt judicial systems.

We may face obstacles from the communist system in The People’s Republic of China.

Foreign companies conducting operations in The People’s Republic of China face significant political, economic and legal risks. The Communist regime in The People’s Republic of China, including a cumbersome bureaucracy, may hinder Western investment.

If relations between the United States and The People’s Republic of China worsen, investors may be unwilling to hold or buy our stock and our stock price may decrease.

At various times during recent years, the United States and The People’s Republic of China have had significant disagreements over political and economic issues. Controversies may arise in the future between these two countries. Any political or trade controversies between the United States and The People’s Republic of China, whether or not directly related to our business, could reduce the price of our common stock.
 
39


The government of The People’s Republic of China could change its policies toward private enterprise or even nationalize or expropriate private enterprises, which could result in the total loss of our and your investment.

Our business is subject to significant political and economic uncertainties and may be affected by political, economic and social developments in The People’s Republic of China. Over the past several years, the government of The People’s Republic of China has pursued economic reform policies including the encouragement of private economic activity and greater economic decentralization. The government of The People’s Republic of China may not continue to pursue these policies or may significantly alter them to our detriment from time to time with little, if any, prior notice.

Changes in policies, laws and regulations or in their interpretation or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, restrictions or prohibitions on dividend payments to stockholders, or devaluations of currency could cause a decline in the price of our common stock, should a market for our common stock ever develop. Nationalization or expropriation could even result in the total loss of your investment.

The nature and application of many laws of The People’s Republic of China create an uncertain environment for business operations and they could have a negative effect on us.

The legal system in The People’s Republic of China is a civil law system. Unlike the common law system, the civil law system is based on written statutes in which decided legal cases have little value as precedents. In 1979, The People’s Republic of China began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and has since introduced many laws and regulations to provide general guidance on economic and business practices in The People’s Republic of China and to regulate foreign investment. Progress has been made in the promulgation of laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. The promulgation of new laws, changes of existing laws and the abrogation of local regulations by national laws could cause a decline in the price of our common stock. In addition, as these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively recent, their interpretation and enforcement involve significant uncertainty.

Although we do not import goods into or export goods out of The People’s Republic of China, fluctuation of the Renminbi may indirectly affect our financial condition by affecting the volume of cross-border money flow.

Although we use the United States dollar for financial reporting purposes, all of the transactions effected by our operating subsidiaries are denominated in The People’s Republic of China’s Renminbi. The value of the Renminbi fluctuates and is subject to changes in The People’s Republic of China’s political and economic conditions. We do not currently engage in hedging activities to protect against foreign currency risks. Even if we chose to engage in such hedging activates, we may not be able to do so effectively. Future movements in the exchange rate of the Renminbi could adversely affect our financial condition as we may suffer financial losses when transferring money raised outside of China into the country or paying vendors for services performed outside of China.

 
Domestic competition in the animal feed industry is largely fragmented and foreign competition is minimal. However, as a result of The People’s Republic of China becoming a member of the World Trade Organization (“WTO”), import restrictions on agricultural products are expected to be reduced. With the lowering of import restrictions and the WTO’s requirement for a reduction of import tariffs as condition of membership, such reduced import restrictions and tariffs may result in an increase of foreign products and could in turn lead to increased competition in the domestic agricultural market.
 
40


It will be extremely difficult to acquire jurisdiction and enforce liabilities against our officers, directors and assets based in The People’s Republic of China.

As our executive officers and several of our directors, including the chairman of our Board of Directors, are Chinese citizens, it may be difficult, if not impossible, to acquire jurisdiction over these persons in the event a lawsuit is initiated against us and/or our officers and directors by a stockholder or group of stockholders in the United States. Also, because our operating subsidiaries and assets are located in The People’s Republic of China, it may be extremely difficult or impossible for you to access those assets to enforce judgments rendered against us or our directors or executive offices by United States courts. In addition, the courts in The People’s Republic of China may not permit the enforcement of judgments arising out of United States federal and state corporate, securities or similar laws. Accordingly, United States investors may not be able to enforce judgments against us for violation of United States securities laws.

Risks Related to our Securities

Our common stock price is subject to significant volatility, which could result in substantial losses for investors.

During the eight month period ended August 28, 2007, the high and low bid prices of our common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) were $8.25 per share and $1.85 per share, respectively. Sine commencing trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market on August 29, 2007, the high and low sales prices of our common stock were $16.00 and $7.11. Prices for our shares are determined in the marketplace and may accordingly be influenced by many factors, including, but not limited to:

 
·
the depth and liquidity of the market for the shares;

 
·
quarter-to-quarter variations in our operating results;

 
·
announcements about our performance as well as the announcements of our competitors about the performance of their businesses;

 
·
investors’ evaluations of our future prospects and the food industry generally;

 
·
changes in earnings estimates by, or failure to meet the expectations of, securities analysts;

 
·
our dividend policy; and

 
·
general economic and market conditions.

In addition, the stock market often experiences significant price fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies whose stock is traded. These market fluctuations could adversely affect the trading price of our shares.

The price at which investors purchase shares of our common stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. Investors may be unable to sell their shares of common stock at or above their purchase price, which may result in substantial losses.
 
41


Shares of our common stock lack a significant trading market.

On August 29, 2007, shares of our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market. On October 12, 2007, shares of our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market. Since August 29, 2007, our average trading volume has been less than 75,000 shares per day. As with most initial listings on this exchange, it will take time for a significant active trading market in our common stock to develop. There can be no assurance that an active trading market in our common stock will develop, or if such a market develops, that it will be sustained.

Future sales of shares of our common stock by our stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.

We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of our common stock or the availability of shares of common stock for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. As of October 29, 2007, we had outstanding 27,026,756 shares of common stock. We have filed a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 pursuant to which selling stockholders may resell an aggregate of 3,026,753 shares of our common stock and an additional 611,787 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants into the public market. This registration statement was declared effective on October 25, 2007. Sales of shares of our common stock in the public market covered under an effective registration statement, or the perception that those sales may occur, could cause the trading price of our common stock to decrease or to be lower than it might be in the absence of those sales or perceptions.

We may issue additional shares of our capital stock or debt securities to raise capital or complete acquisitions, which would reduce the equity interest of our stockholders.

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share. As of October 29, 2007, 27,026,756 of these shares of common stock were issued and outstanding, 611,787 shares were reserved for issuance upon exercise of 611,787 issued and outstanding warrants and 32,000 were reserved for issuance upon exercise of 32,000 issued and outstanding stock options. There are approximately 47,325,000 authorized and unissued shares of our common stock which have not been reserved and accordingly, are available for future issuance. Although we have not entered into any agreements as of the date of this offering to issue our unreserved shares of common stock, we may issue a substantial number of additional shares of our common stock to complete a business combination or to raise capital. The issuance of additional shares of our common stock:

 
·
may significantly reduce the equity interest of investors in this offering; and

 
·
may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.

The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may cause us to incur substantial expenditures and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.

Our articles of incorporation contain specific provisions that eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to our company and shareholders, to the extent provided by Nevada law. We may also have or may create contractual indemnification obligations under our employment agreements with our officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and shareholders.
 
42


Our management owns a significant amount of our common stock, giving them influence or control in corporate transactions and other matters, and their interests could differ from those of other stockholders.

Our principal executive officers and directors, own approximately 29% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, they are in a position to significantly influence the outcome of matters requiring a stockholder vote, including the election of directors, the adoption of any amendment to our articles of incorporation or bylaws, and the approval of significant corporate transactions. Their control may delay or prevent a change of control on terms favorable to our other stockholders and may adversely affect your voting and other stockholders rights.

Our articles of incorporation, our bylaws and provisions of Nevada law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so could be in our stockholders’ best interest.

Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so might be in the best interest of our stockholders. It could be difficult for a potential bidder to acquire us because our articles of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may discourage takeover attempts. These provisions may limit stockholders’ ability to approve a transaction that stockholders may think is in their best interests. These provisions include a requirement that certain procedures must be followed before matters can be proposed for consideration at meetings of our stockholders.

Provisions of Nevada’s business combinations statute also restrict certain business combinations with interested stockholders. We have elected not to be governed by these provisions in our amended and restated articles of incorporation. However, this election may not be effective unless we meet certain conditions under the Nevada statute.

Capital outflow policies in The People’s Republic of China may hamper our ability to declare and pay dividends to our shareholders.

The People’s Republic of China has adopted currency and capital transfer regulations. These regulations may require us to comply with complex regulations for the movement of capital. Although our management believes that we will be in compliance with these regulations, should these regulations or the interpretation of them by courts or regulatory agencies change, we may not be able to pay dividends to our shareholders outside of The People’s Republic of China. In addition, under current Chinese law, we must retain a reserve equal to 10 percent of net income after taxes, not to exceed 50 percent of registered capital. Accordingly, this reserve will not be available to be distributed as dividends to our shareholders. We presently do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Our management intends to follow a policy of retaining all of our earnings to finance the development and execution of our strategy and the expansion of our business.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of September 30, 2007, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including Junhong Xiong, our Chief Executive Officer and Yan Liang Fan, our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, Mr. Xiong and Mr. Yan concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
43


Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We know of no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party which are material or potentially material, either individually or in the aggregate.

We do not believe that the ultimate disposition of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
