NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
China
Green Agriculture, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”) was incorporated in 1987. On
December 26, 2007, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock (the “Green Agriculture Shares”) of Green Agriculture Holding
Corporation, a New Jersey corporation (“Green Agriculture” or “Green New
Jersey”), through a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”).
Green
Agriculture was incorporated on January 27, 2007 under the laws of the State of
New Jersey. On August 24, 2007, Green Agriculture acquired 100% 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”).
Techteam is engaged in the research and development, manufacture, distribution
and sale of humic acid based liquid compound fertilizer. It was incorporated in
the People’s Republic of China on June 19, 2000 under the name of Yangling
Techteam Jinong Humic Acid Product Co., Ltd.. On February 28, 2006, Yangling
Techteam Jinong Humic Acid Product Co., Ltd changed its name to Shaanxi Techteam
Jinong Humic Acid Product Co., Ltd.
On
January 19, 2007, 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.
As a
result of the Share Exchange on December 26, 2007, the Company’s corporate
structure is as follows:
6
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 conduct research and development on new fertilizer products and
sell high quality agricultural products.
NOTE
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 nine months ended
March 31, 2009 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.
7
Use of
estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the 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 March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, cash
and cash equivalents amounted to $13,632,961 and $16,612,416,
respectively.
Accounts
receivable
The
Company's policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts
receivable. As of March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, the Company had accounts
receivable of $6,866,974 and $3,590,552, net of allowance for doubtful accounts
of $62,999 and $96,065, respectively.
Advances to
suppliers
The
Company provides advances to certain vendors for purchase of its material. As of
March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, the advances to suppliers amounted to $140,347
and $512,845, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or net
realizable value. Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process,
finished goods and packaging materials.
Property, plant and
equipment
Property,
plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Gains or losses on disposals are
reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The cost of improvements that
extend the life of plant, property, and equipment are capitalized. These
capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment, and fixtures.
All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation
for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets:
Estimated
Useful Life
|
|
Building
|
10-40
years
|
Leasehold
improvements
|
3-5
years
|
Machinery
and equipment
|
5-15
years
|
Vehicles
|
3-5
years
|
8
Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the lease term or the estimated useful life,
whichever is shorter.
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 March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, the Company had unearned
revenues of $58,935 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 March 31, 2009 and 2008, were $0 and $2,731, respectively. Advertising
costs for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, were $51,031 and
$231,411, 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.
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.
9
Foreign currency
translation
The
reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The functional currency of
China Green Agriculture and Green Holding is the US dollar. The functional currency of
Techteam Jinong and its subsidiary Xi’an Jintai is the Chinese Yuan or Renminbi
(“RMB”). For the subsidiaries whose functional currencies are other than the US
dollar, all asset and liability accounts were translated at the exchange rate on
the balance sheet date; stockholder's equity is translated at the historical
rates and items in the cash flow statements are translated at the average rate
in each applicable period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process
are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of
shareholders’ equity. The resulting translation gains and losses that arise from
exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than
the functional currency are included in the results of operations as
incurred.
Accumulated
other comprehensive income amounted to $2,453,990 and $2,404,419 as of March 31,
2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively.
Fair values of financial
instruments
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments", requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values
of financial instruments.
The
Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, other receivables, advances to suppliers, accounts payable,
other payables, tax payable, and related party advances and
borrowings.
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 nine months ended March 31, 2009, 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 nine and three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.

Statement of cash
flows
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, "Statement
of Cash Flows," cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based
upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and
liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree
with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance
sheet.
12
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 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. Management is
currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial
statements.
In May of
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 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.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This
Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains
the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of
accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all
business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business
combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how
the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the
identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling
interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in
the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines
what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to
evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No.
141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009.
While the Company has not yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if any,
that SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements, the
Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after
September 30, 2009.
13
On
December 30, 2008 FASB issued FIN 48-3, “Effective Date of FASB Interpretation
No. 48 for Certain Nonpublic Enterprises”. This FSP defers the effective date of
FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, for
certain non-public enterprises as defined in paragraph 289, as amended, of FASB
Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, including non-public
not-for-profit organizations. However, non-public consolidated entities of
public enterprises that apply U. S. GAAP are not eligible for the deferral.
Nonpublic enterprises that have applied the recognition, measurement, and
disclosure provisions of Interpretation 48 in a full set of annual financial
statements issued prior to the issuance of this FSP also are not eligible for
the deferral. This FSP shall be effective upon issuance. The Company does not
believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
On
January 12, 2009 FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-01, “Amendment to the Impairment
Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20”. This FSP amends the impairment guidance in
EITF Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on
Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to be Held
by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets,” to achieve more consistent
determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The
FSP also retains and emphasizes the objective of an other-than-temporary
impairment assessment and the related disclosure requirements in FASB Statement
No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and
other related guidance. The FSP is shall be effective for interim and annual
reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008, and shall be applied
prospectively. Retrospective application to a prior interim or annual
reporting period is not permitted. 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.
From
January 1, 2008, TechTeam Jinong is subject to an income tax at a rate of
15%. Jintai is exempt from paying income tax for calendar year 2008 and
calendar year 2009 as it produces the products which fall into the tax exemption
list newly issued by the government.

subject to a restriction under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Due to
the uncertainty of the realizability of the related deferred tax assets of
$847,582, a reserve equal to the amount of deferred income taxes has been
established at March 31, 2009. The Company has provided 100% valuation allowance
to the deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2009.

NOTE
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 by the
political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state
of the PRC's economy.
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.
MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND
VENDORS
There
were three vendors accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total purchases
for the three months ended March 31, 2009 with each vendor individually
accounting for about 16%, 15% and 10%. Accounts payable to those venders
amounted to $0, $298,377 and $152,281 as of March 31, 2009.
There
were three vendors that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total
purchases for the three months ended March 31, 2008 with each vendor
individually accounting for about 19%, 15% and 10%. Accounts payable to the
vendor amounted to $0, $385, and $49,697 as of March 31,
2008.
There was
no customer that accounted for more than 10% of the total sales for the nine
months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
NOTE
15– STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
On
December 26, 2007 the Company issued 6,313,617 shares of common stock to 31
accredited investors (the “Investors”) at $3.25 per share in a private placement
(the “Private Placement”). 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 damages, an amount equal to that Investor’s
entire Investment Amount with 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 acquired by the Investor under the Agreement.
In accordance with EITF D-98: “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable
Securities”, the Company has classified the equity as temporary equity, as
“Common Stock, $.001 par value, 6,313,617 shares subject to
redemption”.
The
Company issued 977,948 shares of common stock to consultants relating to the
Private Placement. Net proceeds from the Private Placement were $18,602,723, of
which $188,388 was 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 as of December 31, 2007. 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 for the
following:
19
|
1.
|
$2,000,000
is held pending the company hiring a qualified CFO. The Company appointed
a CFO in April 2008 and $2,000,000 was released to the Company
accordingly.
|
|
2.
|
$2,000,000
is held pending the company hiring two independent directors, therefore
constituting a majority independent directors in the board. The Company
appointed a majority of independent directors in April 2008 and $2,000,000
was released to the Company
accordingly.
|
|
3.
|
$250,000
is for the retaining of an Investors Relation firm. The company retained
an Investors Relation firm in January 2008 and the money was released to
the company on a monthly basis.
|
As of
March 31, 2009, the balance of restricted cash is $118,318.
In
connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Private Placement, the
Company also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration
Rights Agreement”) and a lockup agreement (the “Lockup Agreement”). Among other
things, the Securities Purchase Agreement: (i) establishes targets for after tax
net income and earnings per share for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 at
not less than $12,000,000 and $0.609, respectively (the “2009 Targets”); (ii)
provides for liquidated damages in the event that PRC governmental policies or
actions have a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated by the
Share Exchange (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
Make Good Escrow Agreement by and among us, Mr. To, the Investors and the escrow
agent named therein. In the event we do not achieve either of the 2009 Targets,
the 3,156,808 shares of Common Stock will be conveyed to the Investors pro-rata
in accordance with their respective investment amount for no additional
consideration. In the event that we meet the 2009 Targets, the 3,156,808 shares
will be transferred to Mr. Tao Li.
Within 45
days of the closing of the Private Placement (the “Filing Date”), the Company
was obligated to file a registration statement with the Commission covering and
registering for re-sale all of the common stock offered and sold in the Private
Placement. If a registration statement was not filed by the Filing Date, the
company would have been obligated to pay the Investors liquidated damages equal
in amount to one percent (1%) of the principal amount subscribed for by the
Investors for each month (or part thereof) after the Filing Date until the
registration statement is filed (“Filing Damages”).
If the
registration statement is not declared effective by the Commission within 150
days after the closing of the Private Placement (the “Effective Date”), the
company will be obligated to pay liquidated damages to the Investors in amount
equal to one percent (1%) of the principal amount subscribed for by the
Investors starting from the first day following the Effective Date for each
30-day period (or part thereof) after the Effective Date until the registration
statement is effective (“Effectiveness Damages”). The aggregate of Filing
Damages and Effectiveness Damages is subject to a cap of ten percent (10%). The
Company incurred the Effectiveness Damages of $704,494.
20
As of
December 29, 2008, the Company reached an agreement with the holders of a
majority shares issued in the Private Placement to issue an aggregate of 213,484
shares of common stock to the Investors on a pro rata basis in lieu of the cash
payment of the Effectiveness Damages. On January 16, 2009, the Company issued
an aggregate of 213,484 shares of restricted common stock on a pro rata
basis to the Investors in the Private Placement.

NOTE
17 – STOCK OPTIONS
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 123-R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123-R”),
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
Employees” (“APB
25”), which the Company previously followed in accounting for stock-based
awards. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 107 (SAB
107) to provide guidance on SFAS No. 123-R. The Company has applied SAB 107 in
its adoption of SFAS No. 123-R.
On
January 31, 2008, the Company issued 123,000 stock options to its employees with
an exercise price of $3.25 and term of three years. Compensation expense for the

requested a cashless exercise of 76,500 options at an exercise price of $3.25
per share. Based on the formula provided in the options agreement, the employees
received 67,685 shares.

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.
23
Overview
We,
through our indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, Techteam and Jintai, have two
business segments: (i) research, development, production and distribution of
humic acid based 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 77.6% and 79.4% of our total revenues in the three months ended March
31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and
2008, the fertilizer business has generated 78.6% and 77.1% of our total
revenues, respectively.
We employ
a multi-tiered product strategy in which we tailor our products to different
needs and preferences of the different geographic regions across China. Each
region has varying climate and soil conditions and grows different crops which
require fertilizer which addresses local conditions. 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 approximately 511 regional
distributors covering 27 provinces in China. We sold 3,364 and 2,091 metric tons
of our fertilizer products for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. In the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we sold 10,799
and 6,992 metric tons of our fertilizer products respectively.
We have
developed over 131 different fertilizer products, including six new products
introduced to the market in the three months ended March 31, 2009. The leading
five provinces by revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are Shannxi
(12.2%), Shandong (10.6%), Anhui (6.2%), Xinjiang (6.0%) and Henan (5.4%), which
in total accounted for 40.5% of our total fertilizer sales from the sale of our
fertilizer products for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Our top five
fertilizer products by revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009
accounted for 24.4% of the total fertilizer sales during that
period.
We also
export our humic acid based 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 0.4% of fertilizer sales for the three months ended March 31,
2009.
24
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
Developments
During
the three months ended March 31, 2009, we launched six new fertilizer products
under the Company’s high-end brand, Techteam. They generated approximately
$146,213, or 2.1% of the revenues from our fertilizer products sold for the
quarter ended March 31, 2009.
As of
March 31, 2009, we have completed the construction of a three-story building
totaling approximately 13,803 square meters (i.e., approximately 148,574 square
feet) for our new production facility with an annual production capacity of
up to 40,000 metric tons of our fertilizer products. We also completed the
installation of the liquid fertilizer production line. While our current factory
is already highly automated, our new addition will have the added feature of
automatic packaging equipment which increases efficiency and further reduces
reliance on manual labor. In addition, while we currently specialize
in liquid fertilizer products, our new facility will give us the
flexibility to expand into the production of highly concentrated fertilizer. We
anticipate our new facility could commence actual production in August 2009 and
we could ramp up to full utilization of our new facility over the three years
thereafter when our total annual production capacity could be expanded to 55,000
metric tons considering our current production capacity of 15,000 metric
tons.

Net
Sales
Total net
sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased $8,841,675, or 99.4%,
from $4,434,926 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Techteam’s net sales, which accounted for 77.6%
of our total net sales, were driven by the sales of humic acid based
liquid compound fertilizers. For the three months ended March 31, 2009,
Techteam’s net sales increased $3,344,201, or 95.0%, to $6,864,494 from
$3,520,293 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. We have introduced 17 new
products to the market during the past 12 months, which contributed
approximately 63.8% to this increase. In addition, our recent upgrades to the
current production facility increased annual capacity from 10,000 metric ton to
15,000 metric ton and enabled us to meet the strong demands for the fertilizer
products. Sales volume increased 60.8% to 3,364 tons for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 from 2,091 tons for the three months ended March 31,
2008.
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 $1,062,547, or 116.2%, to $1,977,180 for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 from $914,633 for the same period in 2008. This increase
was largely due to the strong sales of our various decorative flowers, mainly
butterfly orchids, big orchids and red leaf flowers during this year’s holiday
seasons. The sales for these three products accounted for 82.6% of Jintai’s
sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Cost
of Goods Sold
Total
cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased
$1,794,054, or 90.5%, to $3,776,138 for the three months ended March 31,
2008.
Cost of
goods sold by Techteam for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased
$1,058,520, or 70.5%, to $2,560,795 compared to the same period in 2008. As a
percentage of total net sales, cost of goods sold by Techteam approximated 29.0%
and 33.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
Cost of
goods sold by Jintai increased $735,534, or 153.3%, to $1,215,343 for the three
months ended March 31, 2009 compared to that for the three months ended March
31, 2008. This increase was partly due to the increases in raw materials and
allocated overhead as a result of the addition of new machinery. As a percentage
of total net sales, cost of goods sold by Jintai approximated 13.7% and 10.8%
for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
26
Gross
Profit
Total
gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased $2,612,695, or
106.5%, to $5,065,537 compared to $2,452,842 for the three months ended March
31, 2008. Gross profit margin approximated 57.3% and 55.3% for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Gross
profit from Techteam increased $2,285,681, or 113.3%, to $4,303,699 for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 from $2,018,018 for the three months ended
March 31, 2008. Gross profit margin from Techteam sales approximated 62.7% and
57.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The
increase in gross profit margin was mainly due to the relatively low purchase
costs in packaging materials and the increasing focus on high-end products
comparing to those of the same period a year ago.
Gross
profit from Jintai increased $327,013, or 75.2% for the three months ended March
31, 2009, to $761,837 compared to $434,824 for the three months ended March 31,
2008. Gross profit margin from Jintai sales approximated 38.5% and 47.5% for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in gross
profit margin was primarily due to the increasing amortization as a result of
the greenhouse upgrades in March 2008. In addition, we adjusted our sales price
on decorative flowers to make them more competitive given the entry of more
competitors in this field and the slow-down of the overall economy.
Selling
Expenses
Selling
expenses consist primarily of salaries of sales personnel, advertising and
promotion expenses, freight charges and related compensation. Selling expenses
were $203,925, or 2.3% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as
compared to $142,808, or 3.2% of net sales for the three months ended March 31,
2008, an increase of $61,117, or approximately 42.8%. Most of this increase was
due to an increase in the number of sales representatives, marketing expenses
for our new products and freight-out expenses.
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 $408,740, or 4.6% of net sales for the
three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $256,800, or 5.8% for the
three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $151,940. The increase was
largely attributable to professional and management compensation expenses
related to the Company’s status as a public company in the US.
27
Total
Other Income (Expenses)
Total
other income (expenses) consisted of subsidy income from the PRC government,
interest income, interest expenses and bank charges. Total other income for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 was $51,083 and total other expenses for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 were $79,348. The increase of $130,431 was
mainly due to the interest income from a certificate of deposit.
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. Techteam incurred income tax expenses
of $613,673 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $301,841 for
the same period in the prior year, an increase of $311,832, primarily
contributable to our increased operating income.
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 $3,890,282 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of
$2,218,237 or 132.7% from $1,672,045 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
The increase in net income was largely due to the increase in net sales. Net
income as a percentage of total net sales approximated 44.0% and 37.7% for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Net
Sales
Total net
sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 increased $9,339,713, or 60.7%,
from $15,382,089 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008.
Techteam’s net sales, which accounted for 78.6%
of total net sales, were driven by the sales of humic acid based liquid
compound fertilizers. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, Techteam’s net
sales increased $7,582,407, or 64.0%, to $19,435,021 from $11,852,614 for the
nine months ended March 31, 2008. We have introduced 17 new products to the
market during the past 12 months, which contributed approximately 49.8% to this
increase. In addition, our recent upgrades to the current production facility
increased annual capacity from 10,000 metric ton to 15,000 metric ton and
enabled us to meet the strong demands for the fertilizer products. Sales volume
increased 54.4% to 10,799 tons for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from
6,992 tons for the nine months ended March 31, 2008.
Jintai’s
net sales increased $1,757,307, or 49.8%, to $5,826,782 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2009 from $3,529,475 for the same period in 2008. This increase
was largely due to the sales of our various decorative flowers, such as
butterfly orchids, big orchids and red leaf flowers during this year’s holiday
seasons. The sales for these three products accounted for 76.7% of Jintai’s
sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.
Cost
of Goods Sold
Total
cost of goods sold for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 increased
$4,231,270, or 66.4%, to $10,608,336 compared to that for the nine months ended
March 31, 2008.
Cost of
goods sold by Techteam for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 increased
$2,835,966, or 58.7%, to $7,667,116 compared to that for the same period in
2008. As a percentage of total net sales, cost of goods sold by Techteam
approximated 31.0% and 31.4% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
Cost of
goods sold by Jintai increased $1,395,305, or 90.3%, to $2,941,221 for the nine
months ended March 31, 2009 compared to that for the nine months ended March 31,
2008. This increase was primarily due to the increase in purchases of seedlings
and flowers. In addition, the maintenance costs have increased comparing to
those a year ago. As a percentage of total net sales, cost of goods sold by
Jintai approximated 11.9% and 10.1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and
2008, respectively.
Gross
Profit
Total
gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 increased $5,108,441, or
56.7%, to $14,113,466 compared to $9,005,023 for the nine months ended March 31,
2008. Gross profit margin approximated 57.1% and 58.5% for the nine months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
29
Gross
profit from Techteam increased $4,746,441, or 67.6%, to $11,767,905 for the nine
months ended March 31, 2009 from $7,021,464 for the nine months ended March 31,
2008. Gross profit margin from Techteam sales approximated 60.5% and 59.2% for
the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Gross
profit from Jintai increased $362,002, or 18.3% for the nine months ended March
31, 2009, to $2,345,561 compared to $1,983,559 for the nine months ended March
31, 2008. Gross profit margin from Jintai sales approximated 44.4% and 56.2% for
the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in
gross profit margin was primarily due to the increasing maintenance costs and
amortization expenses as a result of the greenhouse upgrades in March 2008. In
addition, we adjusted our sales price on decorative flowers to make them more
competitive given the entry of more competitors in this field and the slow-down
of the overall economy.
Selling
Expenses
Selling
expenses consist primarily of salaries of sales personnel, advertising and
promotion expenses, freight charges and related compensation. Selling expenses
were $786,462 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $171,816,
or approximately 28.0% as compared to $614,646 for the nine months ended March
31, 2008. 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 3.2% of net sales for the nine months ended March 31,
2009 as compared to 4% for 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 $1,432,514, or 5.8% of net sales for
the nine months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $1,430,762, or 9.3% for the
nine months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $1,752.
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 nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $250,596 and $223,933,
respectively. The increase in interest income was offset by an increase in
interest expenses related to the liquidated damages the Company incurred in
the quarter ended September 30, 2008 arising from its contractual obligations
for the late effectiveness of our registration statement.
30
Income
Taxes
Techteam
incurred income tax expenses of $1,597,833 for the nine months ended March 31,
2009, compared to $301,841 for the same period in the prior year. The main
reason for the increase is that Techteam enjoyed tax exemption during the first
two quarters in the prior fiscal year due to its status as a wholly foreign
owned enterprise (“WFOE”) and the PRC regulations provided such a tax incentive
through December 31, 2007. The increased income tax is also attributable to our
increased operating income.
As set
forth above, Jintai is exempt from paying income tax under the PRC Enterprise
Income Tax Law.
Net Income
Our net
income was $10,046,061 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of
$3,612,219 or 56.1% from $6,433,842 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008.
The increase was mainly a result of our increased net sales. Net income as a
percentage of total net sales approximated 40.6% and 41.8% for the nine months
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, 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 net proceeds of $18,602,723 from our private
placement consummated in December 2007 (the “Private Placement”).
As of
March 31, 2009, cash and cash equivalents were $13,632,961, a decrease of
$2,979,455 from $16,612,416 as of June 30, 2008, primarily due to payments made
with respect to our new production facility of $3,059,913. This does not include
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 expenditures. The funds
are being released to the Company on a monthly basis to pay invoices issued by
the Company’s investor relations firm. As of March 31, 2009, there was $118,318
left in the escrow account.
The
following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods

Operating
Activities
Net cash
provided by operating activities was $980,997 for the nine months ended March
31, 2009, a decrease of $4,500,519 from $5,481,516, net cash provided by
operating activities for the same period in 2008. The decrease was mainly due to
an increase in accounts receivable as a result of the strong sales in the second
half of the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and a decrease in tax payables as a
result of payment of an accrued income tax and VAT obligation.
Investing
Activities
Net cash
used in investing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was
$3,525,561, 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 2008 was $5,348,106, mainly due to the
acquisition of Techteam and advances for construction in progress of upgrading
our greenhouse facilities.
Financing
Activities
Net cash
used by financing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2009 totaled
$450,401. The release of $75,074 from the escrow account was offset by the
repayment of $525,475 of our short-term loans. The net cash provided from
financing activities for the same period in 2008 was $13,257,854, primarily due
to the Private Placement.
On March

Accounts
Receivable
Our
accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, was $6,866,974 as
of March 31, 2009, compared to $3,590,552 as of June 30, 2008, an increase of
$3,276,422. $3,052,933, the increase in accounts receivables at Techteam was
mainly due to strong sales in March 2009. Compared to the balance of net
accounts receivable as of December 31, 2008, the balance for Techteam increased
$2,491,607 and that for Jintai decreased $160,962.
Our
allowance for doubtful accounts was $62,998 as of March 31, 2009 compared with
$96,065 as of June 30, 2008, a decrease of $33,066 due to improvements we made
to collect accounts receivables that were greater than 90 days past due. Jintai
did not have any allowance for bad debt as of March 31, 2009.
Inventories
We had
inventory of $8,258,769 as of March 31, 2009 as compared to $3,988,979 as of
June 30, 2008, an increase of $4,269,790. Of this increase, $1,524,232 was an
increase in Techteam mainly due to the increased purchase of raw materials and
packaging materials for higher production demands and $2,745,557 in Jintai as a
result of the increased work in progress at Jintai to accommodate the demands
for the decorative flowers and for new fertilizer products
testing.
33
Accounts
Payable
We had
accounts payable of $1,235,570 as of March 31, 2009 as compared to $232,417 as
of June 30, 2008, an increase of $1,003,153. Of this increase, $976,959 was due
to increased purchases of raw materials and packaging materials at Techteam at
the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2009, to prepare for the peak sales
season in the next quarter.
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
collectibility 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.
34
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. 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 March 31, 2009, the Company was organized into two main
business segments: produce fertilizer (Techteam) and agricultural products
(Jintai).

Controls and
Procedures
|
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls
and procedures. At the conclusion of the period ended March 31, 2009 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.
35
(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.
