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. till June 13, 1990 and Discovery
Technologies, Inc. (“Discovery Technologies”) from June 14, 1990 to February 4,
2008. 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 the 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, 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, registrant'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").
Further
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.

CHINA
GREEN
AGRICULTURE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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 Holding Corporation 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 the customers and generates
sales.

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, 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
September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2008, cash and cash equivalents amounted
to
$16,919,102 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 September 30, 2008 and June
30,
2008, the Company had accounts receivable of $6,340,147 and $3,590,552, net
of
allowance for doubtful accounts of $56,451 and $96,065,
respectively.
Advances
to suppliers
The

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:

improvements are amortized over the lease term or the estimated useful life,
whichever is shorter.
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 three months
ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2008, the Company had unearned
revenues of $180,924 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 September 30, 2008 and 2007, were $24,384 and $ 23,125, 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
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 are
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.

CHINA
GREEN

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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 three months ended September 30, 2008, the
Company was organized into two main business segments: fertilizer production
(Jinong) and agricultural products production (Jintai). The following table
presents a summary of operating information and quarter-end balance sheet
information for the three months ended September 30, 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 is 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 0f
2008, FSAB 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 of
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.

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 is subject to PRC Enterprise Income Tax at a rate of 33% on the net
income. For the year 2007, the company can enjoy tax-free benefit because
it
becomes a foreign invested company according to the PRC tax law.
The
provision for income taxes as of September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007

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 income tax at a rate of 15%. Xi’an Jintai is exempt from paying
income tax for calendar 2007 as it is a wholly owned subsidiary of TechTeam
which was exempt from income tax. Jintai is also exempt from paying income
tax
for calendar 2008 as it produces the products which fall into the tax exemption
list newly issued by the government.

14 - CURRENT VULNERABILITY DUE TO CERTAIN CONCENTRATIONS
The
Company's operations are all carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced

The
Company's operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and
significant risks not typically associated with companies in the North America
and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the
political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange.
The
Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies
with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency
conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among
other
things.

15- STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
6,313,617
shares of common stock were issued to 31 accredited investors (the “Investors”)
at $3.25 per share in a private placement of the Company’s common stock that was
completed on December 26, 2007. If any governmental agency in the PRC challenges
or otherwise takes any action that adversely affects the transactions
contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, and the Company cannot undo such
governmental action or otherwise address the material adverse effect to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Investors within sixty (60) days of the
occurrence of such governmental action, then, upon written demand from an
Investor, the Company shall promptly, and in any event within thirty (30)
days
from the date of such written demand, pay to that Investor, as liquidated

interest thereon from the Closing date until the date paid at the rate of 10%
per annum. As a condition to the receipt of such payment, the Investor shall
return to the Company for cancellation of the certificates evidencing the
Shares

classified the equity as temporary equity, as “Common Stock, $.001 par value,
6,313,617 shares subject to redemption”.
19
977,948
shares were issued to the consultants relating to the private placement.
Net

received in January 2008. The direct costs related to this placement, including
legal and professional fees, were deducted from the related proceeds and
the net
amount in excess of par value was recorded as additional paid-in capital.
The
total of $4,250,000 was placed in escrow and booked as restricted cash. The
total of $4,250,000 in escrow is pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement
and
the Holdback Make Good Agreement entered into in connection with the placement

at
not less than $12,000,000 and $0.609, respectively (the “2009 Targets”); (ii)

or
actions have a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated by
the
Share Exchange Agreement (a “Material Adverse Effect”); and (iii) requires us to
hire a new, fully qualified chief financial officer (“CFO”) satisfactory to the
Investors. In order to secure our obligations to meet the 2009 profit target
and
earnings per share target, Mr. To has placed 3,156,808 shares of Common Stock
(“2009 Make Good Shares”) into an escrow account pursuant to the terms of the

in accordance with their respective investment amount for no additional
consideration. In the event that we meet the 2009 Targets, the 3,156,808

result in a Material Adverse Effect, as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement, that cannot be reversed or cured to the Investors’ reasonable
satisfaction, we will be obligated to pay to the Investors as liquidated

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. (“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; and (ii) development, production
and distribution of agricultural products, namely, top-grade fruits, vegetables,
flowers and colored seedlings. The fertilizer business has been our main
business which generated 85.9% and 77.7% of our total revenues in the three
months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007,
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.
25
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.
Currently,
we sell our products through a network of about 486 regional distributors
covering 27 provinces in China. Roughly 20 million farmers are using our
fertilizer products. We produced and sold approximately 4,114 and 3,234 metric
tons of our fertilizer products for the three months ended September 30, 2008
and September 30, 2007, respectively.
We
have
developed more than 123 different fertilizer products, including four new
products introduced to the market in the quarter ended September 30, 2008.
The
leading five provinces by revenue for the three months ended September 30,
2008
are Heilongjiang (12.2%), Shandong (8.8%), Xinjiang (8.3%), Guangdong (8.2%)
and
Hebei (6.9%), in which we generated a total of $3,386,121 revenues, or
approximately 44% of our total fertilizer sales from the sale of our fertilizer
products for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Our top five fertilizer
products by revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 generated a total
of approximately $2,391,228 or 31.4% 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 products currently account for
approximately 1% of our sales for the three months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2008, we launched four new fertilizer
products under the Company’s high-end brand, Jinong. They generated
approximately $122,796, or 1.6% of our total revenues from our fertilizer
products sold for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.
26
We
are
constructing new production facilities in order to increase our annual
fertilizer production capacity from the current 10,000 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. We anticipate our new
production lines will commence trial production in March 2009, and we seek
to
commence actual production in August 2009.

Net
Sales
Total
net
sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased $1,688,981, or
24%, from
$7,191,021
for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase was attributable
to
an increase
of $2,036,744
in sales
by Techteam, offset by a decrease of $347,763 in sales by Jintai.
Techteam’s
net sales, which accounted for 86% of total net sales, were driven by the sales
of humic
acid organic liquid compound fertilizers. For the three months ended September
30, 2008, Techteam’s net sales increased $2,036,744, or 36%, to $7,625,501 from
$5,588,757 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Sales volume increased
27% to 4,114 tons for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from 3,234
tons
for the three months ended September 30, 2007. We launched four new products
that accounted for $122,796 of net sales for the three months ended September
30, 2008.
27
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, decreased $347,763, or 22%, to
$1,254,501 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from $1,602,264 for
the
same period in 2007. The earthquake and flooding that occurred in China earlier
this year had a negative impact on our business in the beginning of the quarter
ended September 30 2008. In addition, during the comparable quarter in 2007,
Jintai’s sales were significantly higher than normal due to a one time
project.
Cost
of Goods Sold
Total
cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased
$1,157,132, or 42%, to $3,930,893 compared to that for the three months ended
September 30, 2007.
Cost
of
goods sold by Techteam for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased
$1,087,777, or 51%, to $3,225,946 compared to that for the same period in 2007.
This increase was primarily due to higher costs of packaging materials which
accounted for over two thirds of the cost of our fertilizer products, the
increase in our sales volume and the weakening US dollar against the Renminbi,
the official currency in China. As a percentage of total net sales, cost of
goods sold by Techteam approximated 36% and 30% for the three months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Cost
of
goods sold by Jintai increased $69,354, or 11%, to $704,947 for the three months
ended September 30, 2008 compared to that for the three months ended September
30, 2007. Jintai reduced costs by cultivating its own plants as opposed to
purchasing them from the outside vendors; however, increases in electricity
consumption arising from the addition of new machinery and equipment to our
greenhouse and depreciation expenses for our new greenhouse facilities which
commenced during the second quarter of fiscal 2008 outweighed the cost saving.
As a percentage of total net sales, cost of goods sold by Jintai approximated
8%
and 9% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Gross
Profit
Total
gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased $531,849,
or 12%, to $4,949,109 compared to $4,417,260 for the three months ended
September 30, 2007. Gross profit margin approximated 56% and 61% for the three
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Gross
profit from Techteam sales increased $948,967, or 28%, to $4,399,555 for the
three months ended September 2008 from $3,450,588 for the three months ended
September 2007. Gross profit margin from Techteam sales approximated 58% and
62%
for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Gross
profit from Jintai sales decreased $417,117, or 43% for the three months ended
September 30, 2008, to $549,554 compared to $966,671 for the three months ended
September 30, 2007. Gross profit margin from Jintai sales approximated 44%
and
60% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
28
Selling
Expenses
Selling
expenses consist primarily of salaries of sales personnel, advertising and
promotion expenses, freight charges and related compensation. Selling expenses
were $216,376, or 2% of net sales for the three months ended September 30,
2008
as compared to $151,705, or 2% of net sales for the three months ended September
30, 2007, an increase of $64,671, or approximately 43%. Most of this increase
was due to higher travel and lodging expenses for our sales representatives,
increases in freight charges due to higher fuel prices and higher salaries
from
our expanded sales force. We increased our full-time sales representatives
to
107 as of September 30, 2008 from 85 as of September 30, 2007.
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 $437,129, or 5% of net sales for the
three months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $150,617, or 2% for the
three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $286,512. The increase
was
primarily attributable to the expenses incurred for operating as a US public
company and expanding our board of directors and management team.
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 September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $176,194 and $83,166,
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 incurred
to investors in connection with our registration statement, offset by an
increase in interest income.
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 $621,483 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared
to
$0 for the same period in the prior year.
29
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 $3,497,927 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease
of $533,845 or 13% from $4,031,772 for the three months ended September 30,
2007. The increase in gross profit was offset by income taxes which were
previously exempted, higher operating expenses associated with our obligation
in
compliance with a public company’s reporting and corporate governance
requirements and one-time liquidated damages as mentioned above. Net income
as a
percentage of total net sales approximated 39% and 56% for the three months
ended September 30, 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. We also have a monthly forecasting process and provide variation
analysis to the budget.
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
September 30, 2008, cash and cash equivalents were $16,919,102, an increase
of
$306,686 from $16,612,416 as of June 30, 2008, primarily due to cash from
operations. 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 September
30, 2008, there was $165,081 left in the escrow account.
Based
on
our current operating plan, 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.

Operating
Activities
Net
cash
provided by operating activities was $411,868 for the three months ended
September 30, 2008, a decrease of $118,928 from $560,796 for the same
period in 2007. The decrease was mainly due to an increase in inventory which
was partly offset by a decrease in outstanding accounts receivable.
Investing
Activities
Net
cash
used in investing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2008
was $42,120, mainly due to additions made for our new production line. We did
not have any investment activities for the same period in 2007.
Financing
Activities
Net
cash
used by financing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2008
totaled $88,391. The proceeds of $28,311 from the restricted escrow account
were
offset by the repayment of $116,701 of our loans.

Accounts
Receivable
Our
accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, was $6,340,147
as
of September 30, 2008, compared to $3,590,552 as of June 30, 2008, an increase
of $2,749,595. The increase resulted from the following factors: (i) our sales
increased by approximately 24% from the quarter ended June 30, 2008, many of
which occurred in the latter half of the quarter ended September 30, 2008;
and
(ii) the earthquake and seasonal flooding that occurred in China earlier this
year resulted in slight delays for payments of our products. However, we do
not
believe that the increase in accounts receivable during the quarter will result
in any significant change in our ability to collect these receivables based
on
our historical practices. Additionally, in the comparable period in 2007, our
accounts receivable had reached $6,046,270, or approximately 84% of the net
sales for that period, compared to the approximately 71% of our net sales for
the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Our
allowance for doubtful accounts was $56,451 as of September 30, 2008 compared
with $96,065 as of June 30, 2008, a decrease of $39,614 due to improvements
we
made to collect accounts receivable amounts that were greater than 90 days
past
due.
Inventories
We
had
inventory of $6,572,248 as of September 30, 2008 as compared to $3,988,979
as of
June 30, 2008, an increase of $2,583,268. This increase was mainly due to the
increased purchase of raw materials and packaging materials for higher
production demands for the next quarter.
32
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.
33
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
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 September 30, 2008, the Company was organized into two
main business segments: produce fertilizer (Techteam) and agricultural products
(Jintai).
Item
4. Controls
and Procedures
(a) Evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures.
At the
conclusion of the period ended September 30, 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.
