NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)



NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

China Green Agriculture, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”) was incorporated in 1987. On December 26, 2007, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock (the “Green Agriculture Shares”) of Green Agriculture Holding Corporation, a New Jersey corporation (“Green Agriculture” or “Green New Jersey”), through a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”).

Green Agriculture was incorporated on January 27, 2007 under the laws of the State of New Jersey. On August 24, 2007, Green Agriculture acquired 100%of the outstanding shares of Shaanxi TechTeam Jinong Humic Acid Product Co., Ltd. (“Jinong”) which owns 100% of the equity of Xi’an Jintai Agriculture Technology Development Company (“Xi’an Jintai” or “Jintai”). Jinong is engaged in the research and development, manufacture, distribution and sale of humic acid based compound fertilizer. It was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on June 19, 2000 under the name of Yangling Techteam Jinong Humic Acid Product Co., Ltd. On February 28, 2006, Yangling Techteam Jinong Humic Acid Product Co., Ltd changed its name to Shaanxi Techteam Jinong Humic Acid Product Co., Ltd.

On January 19, 2007, Jinong incorporated Xi’an Jintai which provides testing and experimental data collection base for the function and feature of the new fertilizer products produced by Jinong by imitating the various growing conditions and stages or cycles for a variety of plants, such as flowers, vegetables and seedlings on which the fertilizers are applied. Xi’an Jintai also sells such plants to its customers.

On December 23, 2008, Xi’an Hu County Yuxing Agriculture Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“Xi’an Yuxing”) was established and registered in Hu County, Xi’an by two related parties. The purpose of establishing this entity is mainly to facilitate the research and development of agriculture technology. On July 23, 2009, 100% ownership of Xi’an Yuxing was transferred to Jinong for $146,250 which was the original contribution for the share capital. On September 25, 2009, Xi’an Yuxing was granted a land use right for approximately 88 acres of land for 50 years by the People’s Government and Land & Resources Bureau of Hu County. The Company applied a portion of the proceeds from its public offering in July 2009 and November/December 2009 toward construction of 12 additional greenhouse facilities to further strengthen its R&D base and support its greenhouse capacity expansion.

CHINA GREEN AGRICULTURE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

Principle of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries—Green Holding Agriculture, Jinong, Xi’an Jintai and Xi’an Yuxing. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those results.

Cash and cash equivalents and concentration of cash

For statement of cash flows purposes, the Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash overdraft as of balance sheet date will be reflected as liabilities in the balance sheet. As of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, cash and cash equivalents amounted to $58,233,311 and $17,795,447, respectively.

Accounts receivable

The Company's policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, the Company had accounts receivable of $13,316,354 and $8,167,715, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $184,988 and $119,178, respectively.

Inventories

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market. Inventories consist of raw material, work in process, finished goods and packaging materials.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The cost of improvements that extend the life of plant, property, and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment, and fixtures. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets:
 
 
Estimated Useful Life
Building
10-25 years
Agricultural assets
8 years
Machinery and equipment
5-15 years
Vehicles
3-5 years

Impairment

The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (ASC 360), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). FAS No. 144 (ASC 360) requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

CHINA GREEN AGRICULTURE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


The Company tests long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets subject to periodic amortization, for recoverability at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary. There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.

Revenue recognition

The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104 (ASC 605). Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment 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 collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue. As of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, the Company had unearned revenues of $61,238 and $24,000, respectively.

The Company's revenue consists of invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). No product return or sales discount allowance is made as products delivered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable and sales discounts are normally not granted after products are delivered.

Stock-Based Compensation

The cost of all employee stock options, as well as other equity-based compensation arrangements, are reflected in the consolidated financial statements based on the estimated fair value of the awards. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

The Company’s calculations were made using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected life of 0.80 years; 76% stock price volatility; risk-free interest rate of 2.22% and no dividends during the expected term. During the three and nine month period ended March 31, 2010, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1,259,992 and $1,259,992, respectively. No stock-based compensation expense was recognized in the three and nine month period ended March 31, 2009.

Advertising costs

The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred or, as appropriate, the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising costs for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, were $12,677 and $0, respectively. Advertising costs for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, were $56,034 and $51,031, respectively.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.

CHINA GREEN AGRICULTURE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


The Company records a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, if any, based on its estimates of its future taxable income as well as its tax planning strategies when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. If the Company is able to utilize more of its deferred tax assets than the net amount previously recorded when unanticipated events occur, an adjustment to deferred tax assets would increase the Company net income when those events occur. The Company does not have any significant deferred tax asset or liabilities in the PRC tax jurisdiction.

Foreign currency translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The functional currency of China Green Agriculture and Green Holding is the US dollar. The functional currency of Jinong and its subsidiary Xi’an Jintai is the Chinese Yuan or Renminbi (“RMB”). For the subsidiaries whose functional currencies are other than the US dollar, all asset and liability accounts were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; stockholder's equity is translated at the historical rates and items in the cash flow statements are translated at the average rate in each applicable period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders’ equity. The resulting translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

Accumulated other comprehensive income amounted to $2,439,653 and $2,457,130 as of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively.

Fair values 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 Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, advances to suppliers, accounts payable, other payables, tax payable, and related party advances and borrowings.

CHINA GREEN AGRICULTURE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented on the balance sheet. This is attributed to the short maturities of the instruments and that interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective balance sheet dates.

Segment reporting

The Company adopts the standard of segment reporting. The standard 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. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

The Company was organized into three main business segments: fertilizer production (Jinong), agricultural products production (Jintai) and research and development (Yuxing). The following tables present a summary of operating information for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively and quarter-end balance sheet information as of March 31, 2010.

Statement of cash flows

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows" (ASC230), 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 may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
 
Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105 (previously SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162), which will become the source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities. The Codification is effective in the third quarter of 2009, and accordingly, the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2009 and all subsequent public filings will reference the Codification as the sole source of authoritative literature. The Company does not believe that this will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued amended standards for determining whether to consolidate a variable interest entity. These amended standards eliminate a mandatory quantitative approach to determine whether a variable interest gives the entity a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity in favor of a qualitatively focused analysis, and require an ongoing reassessment of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary. These amended standards are effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 and we are currently evaluating the impact that adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855 (previously SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. There was no material impact upon the adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-05, which amends ASC Topic 820, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on the measurement of liabilities at fair value. These amended standards clarify that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, we are required to use the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities, or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets. If these quoted prices are not available, we are required to use another valuation technique, such as an income approach or a market approach. These amended standards are effective for us beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 and are not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (ASU 2010-06), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which amends ASC Topic 820, adding new requirements for disclosures for Levels 1 and 2, separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements and clarification of existing fair value disclosures.  ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 (the Company’s fiscal year 2012); early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2009-14 on its financial statements.

NOTE 12 - OTHER INCOME (EXPENSES)

Other income (expenses) mainly consists of interest expense and subsidy income from the PRC government.

NOTE 13 - INCOME TAXES

The Company adopts the standard 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.
 
Since January 1, 2008, Jinong has been subject to income tax at a rate of 15%. Xi’an Jintai was exempt from paying income tax for calendar 2009 as it produces products that qualify for a government tax exemption.
 
 
The provision for income taxes as of March 31, 2010 and 2009 consisted of the following:

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve significant risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as the slow-down of the global financial market and its impact on economic growth in general, the competition in the fertilizer industry and the impact of such competition on pricing, revenues and margins, the weather conditions in the areas where our customers are based, the cost of attracting and retaining highly skilled personnel, the prospects for future acquisitions, and the factors set forth elsewhere in this report, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Unless the context indicates otherwise, as used in the following discussion, “Company”, “we,”us,” and “our,” refer to (i) China Green Agriculture, Inc. (“Green Nevada”, formerly known as Discovery Technologies, Inc.), a corporation incorporated in the State of Nevada; (ii) Green Agriculture Holding Corporation (“Green New Jersey”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Green Nevada incorporated in the State of New Jersey; (iii) Shaanxi TechTeam Jinong Humic Acid Product Co., Ltd. (“Jinong”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Green New Jersey organized under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China (the “PRC”); (vi) Xian Jintai Agriculture Technology Development Company (“Jintai”), wholly-owned subsidiary of Techteam in the PRC and (vii) Xian Hu County Yuxing Agriculture Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“Yuxing”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jinong in the PRC.

Overview
 
We, through our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, Jinong, Jintai and Yuxing, are engaged in the following businesses: (i) research, development, production and distribution of humic acid-based compound fertilizer (conducted through Jinong); and (ii) development, production and distribution of agricultural products (conducted through Jintai and Yuxing); namely, top-grade fruits, vegetables, flowers and colored seedlings. Jintai also serves as a research and development base for our fertilizer products. The fertilizer business is our main business, which generated 83.8% and 77.6% of our total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the fertilizer business generated 85.1% and 78.6% of our total revenues, respectively.

We employ a multi-tiered product strategy in which we tailor our products to different needs and preferences of the different geographic regions across China. Each region has varying climate and soil conditions and grows different crops which require fertilizer which addresses local conditions. We sold approximately 5,369 and 3,364 metric tons of our fertilizer products in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we sold approximately 13,520 and 10,799 metric tons of our fertilizer products, respectively.

As of March 31, 2010, we developed and produced 148 different fertilizer products. The five provinces in which we had the most sales accounted for a total of 40.4% of our fertilizer revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010. These provinces were Shaanxi (11.2%), Shandong (10.8%), Anhui (7.9%), Henan (5.6%), and Sichuan (4.9%).
31


Our fertilizers are sold through a large number of distributors and we are not dependent on any one or group of distributors. As of March 31, 2010, we had approximately 552 distributors in China. The top five distributors accounted for an approximately 3.9% of fertilizer revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary Jintai, we sell high quality flowers, green vegetables and fruits to airlines, hotels and restaurants, among other customers. Jintai, which has a 137,000 square meter greenhouse facility, also conducts our fertilizer research and development activities. Five provinces accounted for 100% of our agriculture product revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Specifically, they are Shaanxi (86.7%), Shanxi (4.7%), Sichuan (3.3%), Gansu(3.1%) and Henan(2.2%). Jintai’s top five customers accounted for approximately 58.3% of Jintai’s sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Recent Developments

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company launched seven new liquid-based fertilizer products. They generated approximately 2.2% of the revenues from our fertilizer products sold for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Net Sales

Total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $13,442,277, an increase of $4,600,603, or 52%, from $8,841,675 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Jinongs net sales, which accounted for 83.8% of total net sales, were driven by increased sales of humic acid-based compound fertilizers among which the powder fertilizer products contributed 12% of the increase. Jinong’s net sales increased $4,400,260, or 64.1%, to $11,264,754 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $6,864,494 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Sales volume increased 59.6% to 5,369 tons for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from 3,364 tons for the three months ended March 31, 2009. These increases were mainly attributable to the increased production due to greater capacity from our new production line and the sales of more granular based fertilizer products.

Jintais net sales, which include sales of agricultural products, such as top-grade fruits, vegetables, flowers and colored seedlings, increased $200,342, or 10.1%, to $2,177,523 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $1,977,180 for the same period in 2009. The sales for the top three products accounted for 53.3% of Jintai’s sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The main reason for the increase is that the price in some high decorative flowers are higher due to better market conditions during the period.

We do not currently derive revenue from Yuxing.

Cost of Goods Sold

Total cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $5,331,717, an increase of $1,555,579, or 64.3%, from $3,776,138 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Jinong’s costs of goods sold primarily consist of costs for packaging materials, raw materials, direct labor and overhead allocation. Cost of goods sold by Jinong increased $1,645,905, or 64.3%, to $4,206,699 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $2,560,795 for the same period in 2009. This increase was mainly due to increased sales and an increasing percentage of more expensive raw materials as we sold more high-end powder fertilizer products. As a percentage of total net sales, cost of goods sold by Jinong approximated 31.3% and 29.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Jintai’s costs of goods sold primarily consist of costs for direct materials, direct labor, utility costs and depreciation expenses. Cost of goods sold by Jintai decreased $90,325, or 7.4%, to $1,125,017 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $1,215,343 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This decrease was partly due to savings in utility costs and costs of raw materials. As a percentage of total net sales, cost of goods sold by Jintai approximated 8.4% and 13.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
33


Gross Profit

Total gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $8,110,560 an increase of $3,045,024, or 60.1%, from $5,065,537 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Gross profit margin approximated 60.3% and 57.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As further detailed below, our margins for fertilizer products are approximately 10% higher than our margins for agriculture products.

Gross profit from Jinong for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $7,058,055, an increase of $2,754,355, or 64.0%, from $4,303,699 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Gross profit margin from Jinong sales approximated 62.7% and 62.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in raw materials was partially offset by the decreased packaging costs as we sold more concentrated powder fertilizer products.

Gross profit from Jintai for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $1,052,506, an increase of $290,699 or 38.2% from $764,831 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Gross profit margin from Jintai sales approximated 48.3% and 38.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in gross profit margin was mainly due to a shift of our product mix as well as our savings in utility costs.

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses consist primarily of salaries of sales personnel, advertising and promotion expenses, freight charges and related compensation. Selling expenses were $566,966, or 4.2% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $203,925, or 2.3% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $363,041, or approximately 178%. Most of this increase was due to increasing our sales force and the higher promotion expenses as we started our new marketing strategy such as opening of Company-owned retail stores and selecting an “Authorized Retailer” to equip our distributors with more marketing resources.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of rental expenses, related salaries, business development, depreciation, travel expenses and other professional expenses. General and administrative expenses were $1,335,229, or 9.9%, of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $408,740, or 4.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $926,489, or 226.7%. The increase was largely attributable to the stock compensation expenses as we granted restricted shares and options to directors, officers and key management under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan.
34


Total Other Income (Expenses)

Total other income (expenses) consisted of subsidy income from the PRC government, interest income, interest expenses and bank charges. Total other income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $112,218 as compared to total other income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $51,083, an increase of $61,135, or 119.7%. The increased other income was mainly due to the decreased interest expenses as we paid off our short-term bank loans in the beginning of the period.

Income Taxes

Jinong is subject to a preferred tax rate of 15% as a result of Jinong’s operation being classified as a High-Tech project under the new PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (“EIT”) effective January 1, 2008. Jinong incurred income tax expenses of $987,786 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $613,673 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $374,112, or 61%. This increase was primarily attributable to our increased operating income during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Jintai has been exempt from paying income tax since its formation as it produces products that fall into the tax exemption category set out in the EIT. The duration of exemption is indefinite so long as there are no amendments to the relevant provisions of the EIT.

Net Income

Our net income was $5,332,798 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $1,442,516, or 37.1%, from $3,890,282 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in net income was largely due to the increase in our net sales of fertilizer products which provide higher profit margins than that of our agriculture products. Net income as a percentage of total net sales approximated 39.7% and 44.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Net Sales

Total net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 were $35,891,213, an increase of $11,169,411, or 45.2%, from $24,721,802 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.

Jinongs net sales, which accounted for 85.1% of total net sales in the nine months ended March 31, 2010, were driven mainly by the sales of humic acid-based compound fertilizers among which the powder fertilizer products contributed 26.0% of the increase. Jinong’s net sales increased $11,119,179, or 57.2%, to $30,554,200 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, from $19,435,021 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. This increase was mainly attributable to the commencement of our new production line in August 2009 and the sale of more high-end products, including our recently introduced powdered fertilizer products.

Jintais net sales increased $50,231, or 1.0%, to $5,337,013 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from $5,286,782 for the same period in 2009. The almost flat increase was mainly because the greenhouses in Jintai have reached their full capacity.

Cost of Goods Sold

Total cost of goods sold for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was $14,051,921, an increase of $3,443,584, or 32.5%, from $10,608,336 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.

Cost of goods sold by Jinong increased $3,542,069, or 46.2%, to $11,209,185 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $7,667,116 for the same period in 2009. This increase was primarily due to the increased total net sales. As a percentage of total net sales, cost of goods sold by Jinong approximated 31.2% and 31.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Cost of goods sold by Jintai decreased $98,485, or 3.3%, to $2,842,736 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $2,941,221 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in cost of goods sold for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to a decrease in raw materials, utility and other overhead costs. As a percentage of total net sales, cost of goods sold by Jintai approximated 7.9% and 11.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Gross Profit

Total gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was $21,839,292, an increase of $7,7725,826, or 54.7% from $14,113,466 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Gross profit margin approximated 60.8% and 57.1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Gross profit from Jinong increased $7,577,109, or 64.4%, to $19,345,014 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from $11,767,905 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Gross profit margin from Jinong sales approximated 63.3% and 60.5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Gross profit from Jintai increased $148,716, or 6.3%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to $2,494,277 compared to $2,345,561 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The slight increase was attributable to our cost savings and higher proportion of sales of decorative flowers such as cymbidium. Gross profit margin from Jintai sales approximated 46.7% and 44.4% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses consist primarily of salaries of sales personnel, advertising and promotion expenses, freight charges and related compensation. Selling expenses were $1,302,733 or 3.6%, of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $516,271, or approximately 65.6%, as compared to $786,492, or 3.2%, of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Most of this increase was due to an increase in sales personnel and promotion expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of rental expenses, related salaries, business development, depreciation, travel expenses and other professional expenses. General and administrative expenses were $2,683,959, or 7.5%, of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $1,432,514, or 5.8%, of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $1.251.445, or 87.4%. This was mainly attributable to the stock compensation expenses incurred by restricted shares and options under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan recently granted to directs, officers and key management.

Total Other Income (Expenses)

Total other income (expenses) consisted of subsidy income from the PRC government, interest income, interest expenses and bank charges. Total other income for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was $89,049 and total other expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 were $250,596. The increase in total other income was due to the decrease in interest expenses as we paid off certain short-term loans and the increase in the interest income.

Income Taxes

Jinong incurred income tax expenses of $2,640,584 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $1,597,833 for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to our increased operating income during the nine months ended March 31, 2010.

As set forth above, Jintai currently is exempted under PRC regulations from paying income tax.

Net Income

Our net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was $15,301,066, an increase of $5,255,005, or 52.3%, from $10,046,061 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was mainly a result of our increased net sales by Jinong. Net income as a percentage of total net sales approximated 42.6% and 40.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Discussion of Segment Profitability Measures

Our business consists of three segments – the sales of fertilizer products through Jinong, the sales of agricultural products through Jintai and greenhouse facility expansion through Yuxing. For each segment, we prepare quarterly and annual projections with regard to marketing, research and development, production and sales along with financial budgets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity include cash from operations, borrowings from China local commercial bank and proceeds from our public offerings in July 2009, and November/December, 2009. These two offerings provided aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $51.3 million.

As of March 31, 2010, cash and cash equivalents were $58,233,311, an increase of $44,0437,866  from $17,795,447 as of June 30, 2009, which was primarily due to proceeds from the public offerings in 2009. This amount does not include the restricted cash from our escrow account. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and Holdback Escrow Agreement by and among the Company and the investors in the private placement in December 2007 (the “2007 Private Placement”), a total of $250,000 cash from the 2007 Private Placement proceeds was escrowed for investor relations purposes. The funds are released to the Company on a monthly basis to pay invoices issued by the Company’s investor relations firm. As of April 22, 2010, the remaining balance of $3,338 including interest income in the escrow account was released to the Company due to the resignation of the escrow agent.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Our financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting policies which require management to make significant estimates and judgments. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” We believe that the following paragraphs reflect the more critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations:

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Revenue recognition

Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment 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 collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.

The Company’s revenue consists of invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). No product return or sales discount allowance is made as products delivered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable and sales discounts are normally not granted after products are delivered.

Cash and cash equivalents

For statement of cash flows purposes, the Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable

The Company’s policy is to maintain 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. Any accounts receivable that is outstanding for more than three months will be accounted as allowance for bad debts.

Segment reporting

FASB ASC 280, (previously SFAS No. 131, Segment Reporting) 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. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company was organized into three main business segments: fertilizer production (Jinong), agricultural products production (Jintai) and future research and development center (Yuxing).

Item 4T.
Controls and Procedures
 
(a)           Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. At the conclusion of the period ended March 31, 2010 we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and adequately designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allowed for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)  Changes in internal controls. During the period covered by this report, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
