NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
China
Green Agriculture, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”) was incorporated as
Videophone, Inc. in 1987 under the laws of the State of Kansas. It later changed
its name to Discovery Systems, Inc. on June 13, 1990 and Discovery Technologies,
Inc. (“Discovery Technologies”) on June 14, 1990. The State of Kansas
involuntarily dissolved the Company effective December 1996. On December 4, 2006
the State of Kansas reinstated the Company's corporate charter. From December
1996 to December 2007, the Company did not engaged in any operations and was
dormant.
On August
27, 2007 our Board of Directors unanimously adopted resolutions announcing a
special meeting of shareholders to consider and act upon a proposed Agreement
and Plan of Merger to reincorporate Discovery Technologies, Inc. (“Discovery
Technologies”) in the State of Nevada by merger with and into a Nevada
corporation with the same name ("Discovery Technologies Nevada") which Discovery
Technologies formed for such purpose (the "Migratory Merger"). Effective
September 24, 2007, the shareholders approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger
as described in the definitive proxy materials filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
In
accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, Discovery Technologies adopted
the capital structure of Discovery Technologies Nevada, which includes total
authorized capital stock of 800,000,000 shares, of which 780,000,000 are common
stock, with a par value of $.001 per share (the "Discovery Technologies Nevada
Common Stock") and 20,000,000 shares are blank check preferred stock, with a par
value of $.001 per share (the "Preferred Stock"). In addition, on the Effective
Date described below, the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock
automatically converted into shares of Discovery Technologies Nevada Common
Stock at a ratio of nine (9) shares of our currently outstanding Common Stock
for one (1) share of Discovery Technologies Nevada Common Stock.
As a
result of the reverse stock split of registrant's common stock, the Company's
outstanding shares of common stock were reduced from 18,746,196 shares to
2,083,339 shares. The Migratory Merger and reverse split became effective on
October 16, 2007 (the "Effective Date").

CHINA
GREEN AGRICULTURE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Furthermore
on December 18, 2007, the Company had another reverse stock split at a ratio of
6.771:1. As a result, registrant's outstanding shares of common stock were
reduced from 2,083,339 shares to 308,084 shares as of December 18,
2007.
All
references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of common
shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the
reverse stock splits.
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”) in which the Company
issued 10,770,669 number of shares of its common stock, par value $.001 per
share (the “Common Stock”) to Green Agriculture’s shareholders in exchange for
the Green Agriculture Shares. Immediately prior to the Share Exchange, the
Company redeemed 246,148 shares of Common Stock held by Michael Friess and
Sanford Schwartz (the “Redemption”) for $550,000 and issued 111,386 new shares
of Common Stock to Messrs. Schwartz and Friess, two of our directors at the
time, who then appointed Tao Li as the Company’s Director and Chief Executive
Officer who proceeded to effect the Share Exchange. In connection to the
redemption share issuance, the Company also issued 78,462 shares of common stock
to a consultant.
The Share
Exchange has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase
method of accounting because the stockholders of Green Agriculture obtained
control of the Company. Accordingly, the exchange of shares by the two companies
has been recorded as a recapitalization of the Company, with the Company (Green
Agriculture) being treated as the continuing entity. The historical financial
statements presented are those of Green Agriculture. As a result of the reverse
acquisition transaction described above the historical financial statements
presented are those of Green Agriculture, the operating entity. Pro-forma
information is not presented because the public shell’s assets are immaterial.
Transaction costs incurred in the reverse acquisition have been charged to
expense.

On August
24, 2007, Green Agriculture acquired 100% outstanding shares of Shaanxi TechTeam
Jinong Humic Acid Product Co., Ltd. (“Techteam Jinong”, “Techteam” or “Jinong”)
which owns 100% equity of Xi’an Jintai Agriculture Technology Development
Company (“Xi’an Jintai” or “Jintai”). Green Agriculture was incorporated on
January 27, 2007 under the laws of the State of New Jersey with initially two
shareholders owning 89% and 11% of its stock. As of December 25, 2007,
immediately prior to the Share Exchange, Yinshing David To (95.1%), Paul Hickey
(2.45%) and Greg Freihofner (2.45%), (collectively, the “Green New Jersey
Stockholders”) owned 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Green New Jersey.
Green New Jersey, through its Chinese subsidiaries Techteam Jinong and Xi’an
Jintai is engaged in the research and development, manufacture, distribution and
sale of humic acid organic liquid compound fertilizer. The exchange of shares
with Techteam has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase
method of accounting since the stockholders of the Techteam obtained control of
the consolidated entity. Accordingly, the merger of the two companies has been
recorded as a recapitalization of Techteam, with Techteam being treated as the
continuing entity. Inter-company amounts and balances have been
eliminated.
Yangling
Techteam Jinong Humic Acid Product Co., Ltd. was founded in the People’s
Republic of China on June 19, 2000. On February 28, 2006, Yangling Techteam
Jinong Humic Acid Product Co., Ltd changed its name to be Shaanxi Techteam
Jinong Humic Acid Product Co., Ltd.
On
January 19, 2007, Techteam 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 Techteam Jinong by imitating the various
growing conditions and stages or cycles for a variety of plants, such as
flowers, vegetables and seedlings which the fertilizers apply on. Xi’an Jintai
also sells such plants themselves to its customers and generates
sales.
The
Company, through its subsidiaries has two business segments: Techteam Jinong’s
main business is to produce and sell fertilizers, and Xi’an Jintai’s main
business is to sell the products which are the by-products (fruit and
vegetables) from the development experiment of the fertilizers.
Effective
February 5, 2008, the Company changed its name from Discovery Technologies, Inc.
to China Green Agriculture, Inc. to better reflect its business. Related to the
name change, the trading symbol changed from DCOV.OB to CGAG.OB on the same
day.
The
Company’s current structure is set forth in the diagram below:

2 – BASIS OF PRESETATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
The
accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results for any future period. These statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2008. The results of the six month period ended December 31,
2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.
Principle of
consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, TechTeam Jinong and Xi’an Jintai. 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
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 December 31, 2008
and June 30, 2008, cash and cash equivalents amounted to $15,079,265 and
$16,612,416, 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 historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit
worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to
evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of December 31, 2008 and June 30,
2008, the Company had accounts receivable of $4,540,866 and $3,590,552, net of
allowance for doubtful accounts of $85,781 and $96,065,
respectively.
Advances to
suppliers
The
Company provides advances to certain vendors for purchase of its material. As of
December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, the advances to suppliers amounted to
$584,835 and $512,845, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or net
realizable value. The management compares the cost of inventories with the net
realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventories to
their net realizable value, if lower than the cost.
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:

Impairment
The
Company applies the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("FAS No.
144"), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB"). FAS No. 144 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.
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 six months ended
December 31, 2008.

Revenue
recognition
The
Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting
Bulletin (SAB) 104. 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 collectibility is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the
relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned
revenue. As of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, the Company had unearned
revenues of $342,711 and $88,950, 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.
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 December 31, 2008 and 2007, were $26,650 and $205,555, respectively.
Advertising costs for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, were
$51,031 and $228,680, 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.
F-11
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
functional currency of the Company is RMB. The Company uses the United States
dollar ("U.S. dollars") for financial reporting purposes. The Company's
subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their functional currency,
being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations
are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, the Company translates
the subsidiaries' assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars using the applicable
exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, and the statement of income
is translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. Gain or
loss on foreign currency transactions are reflected on the income statement.
Gain or loss on financial statement translation from foreign currency is
recorded as a separate component in the equity section of the balance sheet, as
component of comprehensive income. The functional currency of the Company is
Chinese Renminbi ("RMB"), the PRC's official currency. Until July 21, 2005, RMB
had been pegged to US$ at the rate of RMB8.28: US$1.00. On July 21, 2005, the
PRC government reformed the exchange rate system into a managed floating
exchange rate system based on market supply and demand with reference to a
basket of currencies. In addition, the exchange rate of RMB to US$ was adjusted
to RMB8.11: US$1.00 as of July 21, 2005. The People's Bank of China announces
the closing price of a foreign currency such as US$ traded against RMB in the
inter-bank foreign exchange market after the closing of the market on each
working day, which will become the unified exchange rate for the trading against
RMB on the following working day. The daily trading price of US$ against RMB in
the inter-bank foreign exchange market is allowed to float within a band of 0.3%
around the unified exchange rate published by the People's Bank of China. This
quotation of exchange rates does not imply free convertibility of RMB to other
foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place
either through the Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell
foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People's Bank of China.
Approval of foreign currency payments by the Bank of China or other institutions
required submitting a payment application form together with invoices, shipping
documents and signed contracts.

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.
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
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. 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 six months ended December 31, 2008, the Company was organized
into two main business segments: fertilizer production (Techteam) and
agricultural products production (Jintai). The following tables present a
summary of operating information and quarter-end balance sheet information for
the six and three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,

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 may not necessarily agree
with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Recent accounting
pronouncements
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research
Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51. This statement clarifies that a
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated
financial statements. This statement changes the way the consolidated
income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be
reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the
noncontrolling interest. This statement is effective for the fiscal
years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. Based on current conditions, the Company does not
expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on its results of
operations or financial position.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business
Combinations.” This statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141,
“Business Combinations.” This statement retains the fundamental requirements in
SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called
the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer
to be identified for each business combination. This statement defines the
acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the
business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the
acquirer achieves control. This statement requires an acquirer to recognize the
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the
acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date,
with limited exceptions specified in the statement. This statement applies
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have
a significant impact on its results of operations or financial
position.

In March
2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities”. The new standard is intended to improve
financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by
requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their
effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application
encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and
amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under
Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect
its financial position, financial performance and cash flows.
FASB
Statement No. 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the
fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular
format. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by
requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk–related.
Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial
statement users to locate important. Based on current conditions, the Company
does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant impact on its
results of operations or financial position.
In May
2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. The pronouncement mandates the GAAP hierarchy reside in the
accounting literature as opposed to the audit literature. This has the practical
impact of elevating FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts in the GAAP
hierarchy. This pronouncement will become effective 60 days following
SEC approval. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its
financial statements.
In May
2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance
Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60. The scope of the statement
is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts. The
pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008.
The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial
statements.

NOTE
13 - 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 was subject to PRC Enterprise Income Tax at a rate of 33% on the net
income. For the calendar year 2007, the Company enjoyed tax-free benefit status
because it became a foreign invested company according to the PRC tax
law.
Beginning January 1, 2008, in the
People's Republic of China (PRC) the new Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law will
replace the existing laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DES”) and Foreign Invested
Enterprises (“FIEs”). The new standard EIT rate of 25% will replace the 33% rate
currently applicable to both DES and FIEs. The two years tax exemption and three
years 50% tax reduction tax holiday for production-oriented FIEs will be
eliminated. From January 1, 2008, TechTeam Jinong is subject to an income tax at
a rate of 15%. Jintai has been exempt from paying income tax since its
formation as it produces products which fall into the tax exemption list set out
in the EIT. This exemption will last as long as the related EIT does not
change.

which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all
share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including stock
options based on their fair values. SFAS No. 123-R supersedes Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to

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. (“Techteam”), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Green New Jersey organized under the laws of the
People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”); and (vi) Xi’an Jintai Agriculture
Technology Development Company (“Jintai”), wholly-owned subsidiary of Techteam
in the PRC.
Overview
We,
through our indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, Techteam and Jintai, have two
business segments: (i) research, development, production and distribution of
humic acid organic liquid compound fertilizer (conducted through Techteam); and
(ii) development, production and distribution of agricultural products
(conducted through Jintai), namely, top-grade fruits, vegetables, flowers and
colored seedlings. The fertilizer business has been our main business which
generated 70.6% and 73.0% of our total revenues in the three months ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In the six months ended December 31,
2008 and 2007, the fertilizer business has generated 79.2% and 76.1% of our
total revenues, respectively.
Fertilizers
can be organic (composed of organic matter), or inorganic (made of simple,
inorganic chemicals or minerals). Inorganic fertilizers or chemical fertilizers
generally may lead to ecosystem degradation. Organic compound fertilizer, the
fertilizer we produce, comprises a balance of both organic and inorganic
substances, thereby combining the speedy effectiveness of chemical fertilizers
with the environmental benefits of the organic fertilizers.
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. For example, in Southern
and Eastern China, farmers are able to grow high margin crops such as fruits and
seasonal vegetables where climate and rainfall permits, hence they can gain more
return on investment from more expensive, specialized fertilizers, whereas in
Northwest areas, farmers’ low profit margin crops disincentivize investment in
fertilizer requiring that we market a more broad spectrum, low cost
fertilizer.
3
Currently,
we sell our products through a network of about 494 regional distributors
covering 27 provinces in China. Roughly 20 million farmers are using our
fertilizer products. We sold approximately 3,065 and 1,611 metric tons of our
fertilizer products for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. In the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we sold
approximately 7,435 and 4,901 metric tons of our fertilizer products
respectively.
We have
developed over 125 different fertilizer products, including six new products
introduced to the market in the six months ended December 31, 2008. The leading
five provinces by revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2008 are
Shannxi (21.6%), Shandong (7.1%), Xinjiang (5.0%), Fujian (5.0%) and Guangdong
(4.7%), in which we generated a total of $3,039,790 revenues, or approximately
43.4% of our total fertilizer sales from the sale of our fertilizer products for
the quarter ended December 31, 2008. Our top five fertilizer products by revenue
for the three months ended December 31, 2008 generated a total of approximately
$1,189,097 or 24.1% of the total fertilizer sales during that period. Our top
five fertilizer products by revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2008
generated a total of approximately $3,293,380 or 26.2% of the total fertilizer
sales during that period.
We also
export our humic acid organic liquid compound fertilizer to some foreign
countries, including India, Ecuador, Pakistan and Lebanon through contracted
distributors. Total revenues from exported fertilizer products currently account
for approximately 0.3% of fertilizer sales for the three months ended December
31, 2008.
We
conduct our research and development activities through our wholly owned
subsidiary, Jintai, which tests new fertilizers and grows high quality flowers,
vegetables and seedlings for commercial sales.
Recent
Development
During
the three months ended December 31, 2008, we launched two new fertilizer
products under the Company’s high-end brand, Techteam. They generated
approximately $366,161, or 7.4% of the revenues from our fertilizer products
sold for the quarter ended December 31, 2008.
At
December 31, 2008, we have completed the upgrades to our production facility,
which will enable the Company to produce up to 15,000 metric tons of Humic Acid
liquid fertilizer. We are constructing new production facilities in order to
increase our annual fertilizer production capacity from the current 15,000
metric tons to 50,000 metric tons by using approximately $13 million of the net
proceeds we received in the private placement consummated in December 2007 (the
“Private Placement”). We anticipate our new production lines to commence actual
production in August 2009.

Net
Sales
Total net
sales for the three months ended December 31, 2008 increased $3,243,984, or
86.4%, from $3,756,142 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The
increase was the result of an increase in sales volume due to expansion of our
Techteam’s sales network, the launch of new products and an increase of demand
for Jintai’s fruit, flower and vegetable products during the holiday
seasons.
Techteam’s
net sales, which accounted for 70.6% of total net sales, were driven by the
sales of humic acid organic liquid compound fertilizers. For the three months
ended December 31, 2008, Techteam’s net sales increased $2,201,462, or 80.2%, to
$4,945,026 from $2,743,564 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Sales
volume increased 61.2% to 2,688 tons for the three months ended December 31,
2008 from 1,667 tons for the three months ended December 31, 2007.
Jintai’s
net sales, which include sales of agricultural products, namely top-grade
fruits, vegetables, flowers and colored seedlings by using our existing and new
fertilizers, increased $1,042,522, or 103.0%, to $2,055,100 for the three months
ended December 31, 2008 from $1,012,578 for the same period in 2007. This
increase was largely due to the strong demand for our various decorative
flowers, such as butterfly orchids, big orchids and red leaf flowers during the
holiday seasons. The sales for these three products accounted for 67.7% of
Jintai’s sales for the three months ended December 31, 2008.
5
Cost
of Goods Sold
Total
cost of goods sold for the three months ended December 31, 2008 increased
$1,280,086, or 79.0%, to $2,901,306 compared to that for the three months ended
December 31, 2007.
Cost of
goods sold by Techteam for the three months ended December 31, 2008 increased
$689,669, or 57.9%, to $1,880,375 compared to that for the same period in 2007.
This increase was primarily due to increased sales. As a percentage of total net
sales, cost of goods sold by Techteam approximated 26.9% and 31.7% for the three
months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Cost of
goods sold by Jintai increased $590,416, or 137.1%, to $1,020,930 for the three
months ended December 31, 2008 compared to that for the three months ended
December 31, 2007. This increase was partly due to the increases in raw
materials and allocated overhead due to the addition of new machinery and partly
due to the weakening dollar. As a percentage of total net sales, cost of goods
sold by Jintai approximated 14.6% and 11.5% for the three months ended December
31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Gross
Profit
Total
gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2008 increased $1,963,897,
or 92%, to $4,098,820 compared to $2,134,923 for the three months ended December
31, 2007. Gross profit margin approximated 58.6% and 56.8% for the three months
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Gross
profit from Techteam increased $1,511,794, or 97.4%, to $3,064,651 for the three
months ended December 31, 2008 from $1,552,859 for the three months ended
December 31, 2007. Gross profit margin from Techteam sales approximated 62.0%
and 56.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
Gross
profit from Jintai increased $452,105, or 77.7% for the three months ended
December 31, 2008, to $1,034,169 compared to $582,064 for the three months ended
December 31, 2007. Gross profit margin from Jintai sales approximated 50.3% and
57.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
Selling
Expenses
Selling
expenses consist primarily of salaries of sales personnel, advertising and
promotion expenses, freight charges and related compensation. Selling expenses
were $366,161, or 5.2% of net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2008
as compared to $320,133, or 8.5% of net sales for the three months ended
December 31, 2007, an increase of $46,028, or approximately 14.4%. Most of this
increase was due to higher travel and lodging expenses for our sales
representatives and higher salaries from our expanded sales force.
6
General
and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses consisted primarily of rental expenses, related
salaries, business development, depreciation and travel expenses incurred by our
general and administrative departments and legal and professional expenses.
General and administrative expenses were $586,645, or 8.4% of net sales for the
three months ended December 31, 2008, as compared to $1,023,345, or 27.2% for
the three months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $436,700. The decrease
was largely attributable to the one time expenses incurred in the 2007 calendar
year associated with the reverse merger and the Private Placement in the
US.
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 expenses for
the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $125,485 and $61,420,
respectively. We received an allowance income of $29,691 in the three months
ended December 31, 2007 due to a government project. This did not happen in the
same period in 2008. In addition, we received higher interest income in the
three months ended December 31, 2007 due to higher savings.
Income
Taxes
Techteam
is subject to a preferred tax rate of 15% as a result of Techteam’s operation
being classified as a High-Tech project under the new PRC Enterprise Income Tax
Law (“EIT”) effective on January 1, 2008. Prior to that, Techteam enjoyed an
income tax holiday until December 31, 2007, due to its status as a wholly
foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”) and the PRC regulations provided such a tax
incentive through December 31, 2007. Therefore, Techteam incurred income tax
expenses of $362,676 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to
$0 for the same period in the prior year.
Jintai
has been exempt from paying income tax since its formation as it produces
products which fall into the tax exemption list set out in the EIT. This
exemption will last as long as the related EIT does not change.
Net Income
Our net
income was $2,657,852 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, an increase
of $1,927,827 or 264.1% from $730,025 for the three months ended December 31,
2007. The increase in gross profit was slightly offset by income taxes which
were previously exempted. Net income as a percentage of total net sales
approximated 38.0% and 19.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and
2007, respectively.
SIX

Net
Sales
Total net
sales for the six months ended December 31, 2008 increased $4,932,965, or 45.1%,
from $10,947,163 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. The increase was
attributable to an increase of $4,238,206 in sales by Techteam and an increase
of $694,759 in sales by Jintai.
Techteam’s
net sales, which accounted for 79.2% of total net sales, were driven by the
sales of humic acid organic liquid compound fertilizers. For the six months
ended December 31, 2008, Techteam’s net sales increased $4,238,206, or 50.9%, to
$12,570,527 from $8,332,321 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. Sales
volume increased 38.8% to 6,802 tons for the six months ended December 31, 2008
from 4,901 tons for the six months ended December 31, 2007.

net sales increased $694,759, or 26.6%, to $3,309,601 for the six months ended
December 31, 2008 from $2,614,842 for the same period in 2007. This increase was
largely due to the strong demand for our various decorative flowers, such as
butterfly orchids, big orchids and red leaf flowers during the holiday seasons.
The sales for these three products accounted for 73.1% of Jintai’s sales for the
six months ended December 31, 2008.
Cost
of Goods Sold
Total
cost of goods sold for the six months ended December 31, 2008 increased

$1,777,446, or 53.4%, to $5,106,321 compared to that for the same period in
2007. This increase was primarily due to the increased sales. As a percentage of
total net sales, cost of goods sold by Techteam approximated 32.2% and 30.4% for
the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Cost of
goods sold by Jintai increased $659,770, or 61.9%, to $1,725,877 for the six
months ended December 31, 2008 compared to that for the six months ended
December 31, 2007. This increase was primarily due to the increase in our sales
volume, while the cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales for the six
months ended December 31, 2008 remains in the similar level as compared to that
of the same period in 2007.
8
Gross
Profit
Total
gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2008 increased $2,495,747, or
38.1%, to $9,047,929 compared to $6,552,182 for the six months ended December
31, 2007. Gross profit margin approximated 57% and 59.9% for the six months
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Gross
profit from Techteam increased $2,460,759, or 49.2%, to $7,464,205 for the six

31, 2007. Gross profit margin from Jintai sales approximated 47.9% and 59.2% for
the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Selling
Expenses
Selling
expenses consist primarily of salaries of sales personnel, advertising and
promotion expenses, freight charges and related compensation. Selling expenses
were $582,537 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of
$110,699, or approximately 23.5% as compared to $471,838 for the six months
ended December 31, 2007. Most of this increase was due to higher travel and
salary expenses for our expended sales force. However, as a percentage of net
sales, the selling expenses accounted for a less percentage of net sales for the
six months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the same period in the prior
year.
General
and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses consisted primarily of rental expenses, related
salaries, business development, depreciation and travel expenses incurred by our
general and administrative departments and legal and professional expenses.
General and administrative expenses were $1,023,774, or 6.4% of net sales for
the six months ended December 31, 2008, as compared to $1,173,962, or 10.7% for
the six months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $150,188. This was mainly
attributed to the internal cost control in both US and China
operations.
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 expenses for
the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $301,679 and $144,585,
respectively. The increase in total other expenses was due to the carry over
from the quarter ended June 30, 2008 of part of the liquidated damages the
Company incurred arising from its contractual obligations to the Private
Placement investors for the late effectiveness of our registration
statement.
9
Income
Taxes
Techteam
incurred income tax expenses of $984,159 for the six months ended December 31,
2008, compared to $0 for the same period in the prior year.
As set
forth above, Jintai is exempt from paying income tax.
Net Income
Our net
income was $6,155,780 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of
$1,393,983 or 29.3% from $4,761,797 for the six months ended December 31, 2007.
The increase was mainly a result of our increased net sales. Net income as a
percentage of total net sales approximated 38.8% and 43.5% for the six months
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Discussion of Segment
Profitability Measures
Our
business consists of two segments – the sales of fertilizer products through
Techteam and the sales of agricultural products through Jintai. Each of the
segments prepares its own 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
local commercial banks and proceeds from our December 2007 Private
Placement.
As of
December 31, 2008, cash and cash equivalents were $15,079,265, a decrease of
$1,533,151 from $16,612,416 as of June 30, 2008, primarily due to tax payments
of $2,485,151. This 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, a
total of $250,000 cash from the 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
December 31, 2008, there was $134,478 left in the escrow account.
Based on
our current operating plan, we anticipate spending approximately $2.5 million in
our third fiscal quarter and approximately $3 million in our fourth fiscal
quarter on the new production facilities. We believe that existing cash and cash
equivalents balances, cash forecasted by management to be generated by
operations and borrowings from existing credit facilities will be sufficient to
meet our working capital and capital requirements for at least the next 12
months. However, if events or circumstances occur such that we do not meet our
operating plan as expected, we may be required to seek additional capital and/or
reduce certain discretionary spending, which could have a material adverse
effect on our ability to achieve our business objectives. We may seek additional
financing, which may include debt and/or equity financing. There can be no
assurance that any additional financing will be available on acceptable terms,
if at all. Any equity financing may result in dilution to existing stockholders
and any debt financing may include restrictive covenants.

31, 2008, a decrease of $4,603,367 from $5,317,938, net cash provided by
operating activities for the same period in 2007. The decrease was mainly due to
an increase in inventory, advances to suppliers and a decrease in tax
payables.
Investing
Activities
Net cash
used in investing activities in the six months ended December 31, 2008 was
$1,925,229, mainly due to the upgrades to the existing production line and
additions made for our new production line. The net cash used in investing
activities for the same period in 2007 was $9,295,255, mainly due to the
acquisition of Techteam and advances for construction in progress of updating
our greenhouse facilities and the initial construction of a new production
line.
Financing
Activities
Net cash
used by financing activities in the six months ended December 31, 2008 totaled
$320,470. The release of $58,914 from the escrow account was offset by the
repayment of $379,384 of our loans. The net cash provided from financing
activities for the same period in 2007 was $13,586,383, primarily due to the
Private Placement.
On
December 28, 2008 we paid off principal of $262,613 to Agriculture Bank Yangling

Accounts
Receivable
Our
accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, was $4,540,866 as
of December 31, 2008, compared to $3,590,552 as of June 30, 2008, an increase of
$950,314. The increase is mainly to due our increased sales. Compared to
accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts as of September 30,
2008, the balance decreased $1,799,280.
Our
allowance for doubtful accounts was $85,780 as of December 31, 2008 compared
with $96,065 as of June 30, 2008, a decrease of $10,285 due to improvements we
made to collect accounts receivable amounts that were greater than 90 days past
due.
Inventories
We had
inventory of $7,294,456 as of December 31, 2008 as compared to $3,988,979 as of
June 30, 2008, an increase of $3,305,477. This increase was mainly due to the
increased purchase of raw materials and packaging materials at Techteam for
higher production demands in the next quarter and increased work in progress at
Jintai to accommodate the demands during the Chinese New Year.
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.
13
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. 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 December 31, 2008, the Company was organized into two
main business segments: produce fertilizer (Techteam) and agricultural products
(Jintai).

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls
and procedures. At the conclusion of the period ended December 31, 2008
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 defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”), Rules 13a-15e and 15d-15e). 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 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect our internal control over financial
reporting.
