FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015

PART I

We are engaged in the research, development, production and sale of various types of fertilizers and agricultural products in the PRC though our wholly-owned Chinese subsidiaries, Jinong (fertilizer production), Gufeng (fertilizer production) and our VIE, Yuxing (agricultural products production). Our primary business is of fertilizer products, specifically humic acid-based compound fertilizer produced through Jinong; and compound fertilizer, blended fertilizer, organic compound fertilizer, slow-release fertilizers, highly-concentrated water-soluble fertilizers and mixed organic-inorganic compound fertilizer produced through Gufeng. In addition, through Yuxing, we develop and produce agricultural products, such as top-grade fruits, vegetables, flowers and colored seedlings.

Fertilizer business was our main business which produced approximately $259,030,774, $229,917,266, and $213,500,436, or 98.4%, 98.4 % and 98.4% of our total revenues for the years ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our total annual production capacity was 555,000 metric tons as of June 30, 2015.

As of June 30, 2015, we sold our products through a network of 1,292 regional distributors covering 27 provinces, 4 autonomous regions and 3 central government-controlled municipalities in China. We do not rely on any single distributor. Our top five distributors accounted for an approximately 37.0% of our fertilizer revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, of which Sino-agri Holding Company Limited accounted for 24.7% of the total fertilizer revenues.

As of June 30, 2015, we developed 459 different fertilizer products. We conduct our research and development activities through Yuxing, Jinong’s VIE, which tests new fertilizers and grow high quality flowers, vegetables and seedlings for commercial sale. However, as reported in our previous annual and quarterly reports, we started to relocate Jintai to the facilities of Yuxing due to the deteriorated surrounding environment that caused the death and obsolescence to a large amount of Jintai’s flowers and seedlings. As a result, Jintai has not been in operation since March 1, 2012, when the relocation commenced. The relocation and the affiliated process such as the deregistration of Jintai are completed as of June 30, 2015.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, our revenues were $263,354,288, $233,402,088 and $216,897,956, respectively, and our net income was $31,445,126, $25,514,695 and $44,774,048, respectively.

Recent Developments

 Cooperation with Sino-agri Group 

In October, 2014, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries organized under the laws of the PRC, Gufeng and Jinong, both entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with Sino-agri Mining Resource Exploration Co., Ltd. ("Sino-agri"), a key subsidiary of Sino-agri Group.

Sino-agri Group is a nationwide large-scale enterprise group that integrates production, circulation and service as well as specializes in the agricultural means of production, such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, seeds, agricultural machinery & implements, etc. It is an enterprise with the corresponding level of the All China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives and an exclusively-invested enterprise of China CO-OP Group (http://www.chinacoop.coop/English/About%20China%20co-ops), which have the total assets of RMB30 billion, sales revenue of more than RMB72 billion, and the sales volume of more than 25 million tons for the agricultural materials. (For more information, please visit:   http://english.sino-agri.com/show.php?id=10 ).

The objective of the strategic cooperation agreement between Sino-argi and Gufeng is for Sino-argi and Gufeng to work together with sales goals in three years. Specifically, pursuant to the agreement, Sino-agri shall sell 150,000 metric tons of compound fertilizers produced by Gufeng ("Gufeng Fertilizers") during the calendar year 2015; 300,000-metric-ton Gufeng fertilizers during 2016 and 500,000-metric-ton Gufeng Fertilizers in 2017 to promote Gufeng's flagship products.

To accomplish the sales goals of the agreement, Sino-agri and Gufeng are committed to strengthen the production and marketing of Gufeng Fertilizers comprehensively. Specifically, Gufeng will team up with Sino-agri to secure raw materials supplies by leveraging Sino-agri's global access to related raw materials. With that, Gufeng will deliver Sino-agri customized Gufeng Fertilizers upon the orders from Sino-agri's heterogeneous customers. In the next three-year period, Gufeng will be able to tap needed financial credit facilities from Sino-agri to fill the Sino-agri orders. In addition to Gufeng Fertilizers, Gufeng is committed to offer product support for Sino-agri's clients which includes, but not limit to, soil testing, fertilizer comparison and testing, as well as fertilizer solutions. In parallel, Sino-agri will give priority to purchase Gufeng Fertilizer to replenish its compound fertilizer inventory.

The objective of the strategic cooperation agreement between Sino-argi and Jinong is to require both parties to achieve the following sales goals in the next three years: Sino-agri Group sells 10,000 metric tons high-concentrated fertilizer produced by Jinong in the calendar year of 2015; 20,000 metric tons in 2016 and 50,000 metric tons in 2017. The mission under the agreement is to establish a long-term strategic partnership that is mutually beneficial to both parties. To take advantage of Sino-agri Group's state-owned advantage in fertilizer distribution both domestic and overseas, Jinong will work with Sino-agri Group to improve Jinong's supply chain management in the procurement of raw material, and the sale of concentrated fertilizer products. Specifically, Sino-agri Group will provide quality raw materials and favorite lead time to Jinong. In return, Jinong will deliver to Sino-agri quality concentrated fertilizer at fair market price. In addition, Sino-agri Group will offer large support of working capital and investment to Jinong if Jinong needs liquidity and capital investment to expand production. In the meantime, Jinong concentrates on differentiating the market demand for Sino-agri and will customize corresponding product development and production process respectively.

We are very excited for having entered this partnership with Sino-agri, and the result is satisfactory Sino-agri has purchased a total of at $63,818,569 fertilizer products during the year ended June 30, 2015, which accounted for 24.5% of the total sales of fertilizer products from Company. We believe our partnership with Sino-agri will be extraordinary. These agreements are win-win showcases between us and the large state-owned enterprise in China.

A New Business Model

The Company has made progress on its proprietary online sales platform of agriculture basic materials. Distributors of the Company will be able to set up stores on the platform to sell the Company’s products and other types of products such as pesticides and seeds they distribute for various manufacturers.  The Company will compensate the distributors for their online sales performance of the Company's products accordingly.  The platform began operating in March 2015.

Our History

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Kansas on February 6, 1987 under the name Videophone, Inc. The Company had no operations from December 1996 to December 2007. In October 2007, the Company was reincorporated in the state of Nevada. On December 26, 2007, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock from Green New Jersey, through a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company owns 100% of Green New Jersey. The Share Exchange occurred simultaneously with a private placement of $20,519,255 on December 26, 2007.

Green New Jersey was incorporated on January 27, 2007 under the laws of the State of New Jersey. On August 24, 2007, Green New Jersey acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Jinong, a company incorporated in the PRC on June 19, 2000. On January 19, 2007, Jinong incorporated Jintai as its direct, wholly-owned subsidiary to be a research and development base for fertilizer products manufactured by Jinong.

After the acquisition of Green New Jersey, the Company changed its name to China Green Agriculture, Inc., effective on February 5, 2008. The trading symbol changed from DCOV.OB to CGAG.OB on the same day.

On July 23, 2009, Yuxing became a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Jinong to facilitate the research and development of agricultural products and fertilizers. Effective June 16, 2013, Yuxing was converted into a PRC domestic enterprise wholly owned by an individual who entered into a series of contractual agreements with Jinong pursuant to which Yuxing became Jinong’s variable interest entity, or VIE.

On March 9, 2009, the Company’s common stock was listed on the NYSE MKT, formerly known as NYSE Amex Equities under the trading symbol “CGA”. On December 4, 2009, the Company voluntarily ceased trading its common stock on the NYSE Amex Equities and transferred its listing to the New York Stock Exchange on December 7, 2009. The Company’s ticker symbol remains “CGA”.

On July 2, 2010, the Company, through Jinong, consummated a transaction to acquire all equity interests of Gufeng and its subsidiary Tianjuyuan. As a result, Gufeng and Tianjuyuan became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Jinong and indirect subsidiaries of the Company. Our principal executive offices are located at 3^rd Floor, Borough A, Block A.

Industry Analysis

Fertilizer Market in China

Influenced by the sluggish demand in domestic and international fertilizer market, China’s fertilizer market is in downturn during this year. In terms of production, the output of fertilizer will reach another record high during the Fiscal Year 2015. However, large inventory of fertilizer guarantee no profits. The prices of raw material move down, so the price of fertilizer is hard to rise; in terms of domestic consumption, though grain price increased to some extent, the domestic consumption capacity is limited; as for export, international market is depressed continuously resulted from the declined export price. In this year, fertilizer industry is in downward trend as the profit is compressed again and the losses of enterprises are enlarged. Under the pressure of sluggish growth in fertilizer market, industrial restructuring, mergers and reorganization were frequently conducted in the industry, hence the number of enterprises continued to decline. At the same time, the production equipment and technological level was largely improved: coal-water slurry gasification technology, powdered coal pressure gasification technology, large sulfur-based compound fertilizer technology and beneficiation technology of mid-low grade phosphorite were widely used, while new fertilizer products such as slow controlled release fertilizer and microbial fertilizer has been rapidly developed and resulted in significant market expansion.

Start from 2014, China’s economy improved gradually. Since the risk of economic downturn still exists, the government has adopted various measures to maintain the growth and the Company needs structural adjustment and growth pattern transformation.

On the one hand, government’s support to agricultural production includes intensive agricultural investment, subsidies and minimum purchasing price raise for farm products. China has seen another bumper year of grain production, making 2013 the 10^th year in a row of increase output, which supports fertilizer scale to remain high in 2015. The country has achieved 10 consecutive year of rising grain harvests since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. As the concentration of fertilizer industry is steadily improving, the influence on market from key enterprises have increased which helped to ease the weakened market volatility. On the other hand, the current oversupply problem is hard to relieve. Mechanism of Price reform for raw materials (such as coal, natural gas, sulfur phosphate ore, etc.) is accelerating, which casted pressure on production cost. Stricter export tariff policy is expected to last for long, and weak external economical situation may limit the operation and expansion of fertilizer enterprises in international market.

The interaction of the above factors complicated the situation in fertilizer market in 2015.The overall growth rate of this industry has continually slowed down and the market has fluctuated violently. The transformation for China’s fertilizer industry from quantitative growth pattern to qualitative growth pattern is irreversible. The centralization of production, high-end orientated product, service orientated marketing and market-oriented raw materials dominated the development in fertilizer market.

Organic versus Chemical Fertilizers

In general, fertilizer products are categorized into organic and chemical fertilizers. Organic fertilizers can be natural or developed artificially. Natural organic fertilizers include manure, slurry, worm castings, peat, seaweed, humic acid, brassin and guano. Artificial organic fertilizers include compost, blood meal, bone meal, humic acid, and are typically supplemented with other nutrient ingredients. Chemical fertilizers normally are composed of synthetic chemicals such as phosphate and potassium compounds. The primary difference between organic fertilizers and chemical fertilizers is in the sourcing process of ingredients as the nutrient contents are largely the same.

Over the past 20 years, the use of chemical fertilizers in China substantially increased, but years of use created unintended consequences for the agriculture industry—Agricultural products gradually lack certain minerals since Chemical fertilizers applied fell short of natural minerals which made soil infertile.

In addition, heavy use of chemical fertilizers would create "fertilizer burn", the over-fertilization of a single nutrient such as nitrogen. which dried roots and suspend crop growth due to the upset of balance in compound salts and soil acidification. Another drawback caused by chemical fertilizers is that soil are easily depleted by irrigation, rainfall and flooding. In addition, the production of chemical fertilizers consumed a great deal of natural resources. For example, the production of synthetic ammonia, a common chemical fertilizer, consumes about 5% among the world’s natural gas consumption.

Organic fertilizers, on the other hand, improve the biodiversity and long-term productivity of soil. Organic nutrients increase the abundance of soil organisms by providing organic micronutrients. Unlike chemical fertilizers, organic fertilizer nutrients are diluted with better solubility. It requires less application on soil to reach the same result as of chemical fertilizers, which maintains soil fertility and avoid the runoff caused by components like soluble nitrogen and phosphorus. However, the composition of organic fertilizer is more complex and costly than chemical products. As an alternative to pure chemical fertilizer use, farmers can also use inorganic fertilizer supplemented with small portion of organic fertilizers.

Since the 1980s, China has intensified the use of chemical fertilizers in order to increase crop yields. While the increase in crop yield slowed down in recent years, the overuse of chemical fertilizers also caused many environmental issues ranging from water pollution to soil damage. As a result, the PRC government has been promoting the use of environmental friendly green fertilizers, such as humic acid-based organic compound fertilizers and mixed organic-inorganic compound fertilizers, because they provide crops with incremental yield by adding various nutrients essential to soil. Although being relatively new to farmers, the demand for these green fertilizers was increasing and we expect this trend to continue in the coming years. Among other Asian and Southeast Asian countries we expanded business to, the PRC remained our principal market for organic compound fertilizers and related agricultural products.

The “Green Food” Industry in the PRC

The rise of the PRC industry for food free from pollutants or harmful chemicals, or “green food”, raise the demand for organic fertilizers. “Green Food”, the certificate for agricultural products promoted by Chinese Government, positioned between ordinary agricultural food from common farming practice and the organic food has two levels: “AA Green Food” and “A Green Food”. The “AA Green Food” standard indicates or equals to that of organic agriculture. Since the market for organic agricultural products in China has huge potential, it is forecasted that the increase of organic agricultural products consumption in China will exceed that of the average organic agricultural products consumption in the world in the next few years, and the market of Chinese organic agricultural products will reach RMB 24.8 billion-59.4 billion in 2015 with an incremental 15 percent increase year over year during the next following years.

With the rapid development of organic food industry in China, an increasing number of companies have been entering into the green food sector to utilize market opportunities. In 1990, the PRC Ministry of Agriculture began to promote the production of green food; In 1992, the PRC Ministry of Agriculture established the China Green Food Development Center (CGFDC) to supervise the development and management of green food at the national and provincial levels in the PRC; In 1993, the PRC Ministry of Agriculture established regulations for green food labeling; In 1996, a trademark for green food was registered and put into use in the PRC.

Crops grown with the use of our products are qualified for “AA Green Food” certificate. As mentioned above, the “AA” rating indicates that the crops contain minimal chemical residue from fertilizers. Although our products are not qualified for the “AA Green Food” certificate, they are (except for the products from “Gufeng”) certified as “Green Food Production Material” by the CGFDC.

According to the statistics from the CGFDC, China's annual output of green food reached 15 million tons in 2008. However, the domestic consumption level remains relatively low, comprising approximately 3% of the market share of food commodities. The low consumption level is primarily due to: (i) small scale of production of green food; (ii) lack of consumer awareness of green food and (iii) the presence of counterfeit green food products that adversely affect consumers’ purchase.

As described by the CGFDC, the development strategy for China’s green food industry are as follows: first, maintain high quality standards and focus on developing key products; second, promote and facilitate the industrialization of green food; third, implement an integrated development strategy emphasizing producers, production base and farmers; fourth, accelerate the pace of development with the aid of the government; and fifth, to carry out an international development strategy aimed at promoting exports.

According to the Investment and Forecast Report on China Green Food Industry 2012-2016 by Research in China, a Chinese market research company, the green food industry is a high growth industry with significant investment potential. According to the report, leading green food producers will experience huge growth when they achieve national and provincial agricultural industrialization with the supports of favorable government policies and tax breaks.

Growth Strategy

We believe that our increased production capacity and our research and development capability positioned us to benefit from the anticipated growth of the PRC fertilizer market. We expect to expand sales and grow revenues through the following strategies:

l Expand Capacity and Diversify Product Offerings. Our current annual fertilizer production capacity is 555,000 metric tons and our portfolio of fertilizers includes 459 products. In the future we will expand our existing production lines, develop new products and acquire certain PRC fertilizer manufacturers that complement our product lines.

l Capitalize on Synergies Created by Research and Development Efforts. In connection with the construction of Yuxing’s research and development center, we have established 98 sunlight greenhouses and six “intelligent” greenhouses. We expect the Yuxing facility to help us shorten the fertilizer market cycle by providing an advanced testing field for new products which are manufactured by Jinong. In addition, by making efforts in research and development, we expect to simultaneously facilitate the production of superior agricultural products, such as flower bulbs, flowers, fruits and vegetables, which would eventually increase revenues.

l Develop new advanced high efficient fertilizers. The new fertilizer products represented by slow controlled-release fertilizer, microbial fertilizer and others, developed rapidly with high market expansion. Gufeng has signed a cooperation agreement with Anhui Diyuan Biological Technology Co., LTD (“Anhui Diyuan”) to produce the “Tianjuyuan” controlled-release fertilizer. The objective is to provide Gufeng with fertilizer agent supplied by Anhui Diyuan to improve the control release effectiveness when producing controlled-release compound fertilizers. In the agreement, Chinese Academy of Sciences (“CAS”) and Anhui Diyuan authorized Gufeng to refer to CAS and Anhui Diyuan’s name in marketing related fertilizer products. We expect that Gufeng’s controlled-release compound fertilizer will stay an advantageous position in the market.

Products

Our principal products are our fertilizers, which consist of liquid, granular and powdered fertilizers and various kinds of compound fertilizers developed to increase crop yields. We manufacture and sell 459 fertilizer products from humic acid-based fertilizers to compound fertilizers. In addition, we produce high quality agricultural products such as fruits, vegetables and flowers for commercial sale.

Fertilizer Products

Fertilizer business is our main business, which produce approximately 98.4% of total revenues. Fertilizers are produced and sale through Jinong and Gufeng. We believe that Jinong utilizes one of the most advanced automated humic acid production lines in China. Humic acid is a complex with natural, organic ingredient essential to make soil fertile. Humic acid-rich material, such as peat, lignite or weathered coal generating naturally from decomposed plant or animal remains, is one of the major organic constituents for soil composition. Humic acid exhibits a high capacity for cation exchange (a chemical process in which cations of like charge are exchanged equally between a solid and a solution), which serves to chelate plant nutrient elements and release them as the plant requires. The chelation process prevents leaching of nutrients by holding them in the soil solution. Moreover, humic acids can bind soil toxins along with plant nutrients, thereby strongly stabilize soil. The regular use of humic acid organic liquid compound fertilizer can effectively reduce the use of chemical fertilizer, insecticide, herbicide and water. This mechanism contributes to environmental protection by preventing contamination of water sources caused by runoff.

In nature, humic acid improves soil structure and aeration, nutrient absorption and water retention. It also increases soil’s buffering capacity against fluctuations in PH levels, and reduces soil crusting and erosion from wind and water as well as radical toxic pollutants. Humic acid promotes the developing of root systems, seed germination and overall plant growth. It also enhances health, resilience and overall appearance of plants. We believe there is no synthetic material currently known to match humic acid's effectiveness and versatility.

The pure humic acid used in our fertilizers is distilled and extracted from weathered coal by way of alkaline digestion and acid recrystallization. Our Jinong fertilizers are principally used as a foliar fertilizer (a liquid, water soluble fertilizer applied to a plant’s foliage by a fine spray so the plant absorbs the nutrients through its leaves), through spraying directly on soil or injecting into the irrigation systems. Benefits of using our products are to stimulate the growth and yield of plants, protecting them from drought, disease and temperature damages while improving soil structure and fertility.

Gufeng and Tianjuyuan produce compound fertilizer, blended fertilizer, organic compound fertilizer, slow-release fertilizers, highly-concentrated water-soluble fertilizers and mixed organic-inorganic compound fertilizer. Gufeng sells its products under four brands: “KEBA”, “Mei Er An”, “Huang Cheng Gen” and “SPR HOP”, which are all registered trademarks in the PRC. Tianjuyuan’s products are marketed under the brands “AGR GFJ” and “T.J.Y.” which are both PRC registered trademarks.

We have a multi-tiered product line of 459 fertilizer products, covering humic acid-based compound fertilizer produced through Jinong, and organic/inorganic compound fertilizer through Gufeng.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we earned $259,030,774, $229,717,266 and $213,500,436, respectively, in gross revenues from sales of our fertilizer products, representing 98.4%, 98.4% and 98.4% of our total revenues for such periods. Gufeng and Tianjuyuan manufacture a total of 332 fertilizer products. 54.9% of Gufeng’s fertilizer revenue came from humic acid compound fertilizers and 45.1% from compound fertilizer for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

Agricultural Products

Our subsidiary, Yuxing, Jinong’s VIE produce top-grade fruits, vegetables, flowers and colored seedlings for commercial sale. Due to the relocation, Jintai had no revenue since the quarter ended June 30, 2012, and now the relocation and dissolution process were completed. The gross revenues from the sale of our agricultural products for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, were $4,323,514, $3,684,822 and $3,397,520, respectively, representing 1.6%, 1.6% or 1.6% of our total revenues, respectively.

Yuxing was originally established to be the research and development base for humic acid fertilizers produced by Jinong. By simulating the growing conditions and cycles of various plants, such as flowers, vegetables and seedlings, Yuxing regularly conducts experimental testing to enhance the efficacy of our new fertilizers.

Fertilizer Manufacturing Process

Our production lines employ scientifically-designed production procedures and strict quality control systems to ensure high quality in our products. These production lines are fully automated and ran by a central control system with minimal manual input by technicians. The machinery and vats for the line are supplied by a local medical machinery manufacturer and the automatic control systems were developed by us. Our access management system protects the proprietary ingredient mixes from any unauthorized use at all time. Our computer server is connected to the electronic scales on each of the material input bins to ensure that the exact quantity of each elements or ingredients is delivered correctly, thus maintain product quality and reduce waste. Our production line producing liquid fertilizer and powered fertilizer is centrally controlled by a wireless panoramic audio and video monitoring system that allows connectivity with mobile terminals such as cell phones.

In Jinong, we operate a 6,495 square meters (69,911 square feet) production facility that manufactures liquid fertilizer products and a 13,803 square meter (148,576 square feet) production facility that produces liquid and highly concentrated (powdered) fertilizers. Jinong’s total annual production capacity of these facilities is 55,000 metric tons.

In Gufeng and Tianjuyuan, we operate eight manufacturing facilities located in No. 6 Mafang Logistics Park, Pinggu, Beijing. These facilities produce various kinds of fertilizers and have a total annual production capacity of 500,000 metric tons.

The manufacturing techniques utilized by Gufeng include extruder granulation, rotary drum steam granulation, urea-based spraying granulation and resin-coated sustained release, which enable Gufeng to effectively meet the production requirements of all different compound fertilizers. To ensure high quality, Gufeng and Tianjuyuan employ strict quality controls from the raw materials purchases to the products sales to end users.

We produced and sold a total of approximately 361,779 metric tons of fertilizer products during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

Raw Materials and Suppliers

Fertilizer Products

Among the three materials utilized to produce humic acid (weathered coal, lignite and peat), we have chosen weathered coal as our principal raw material because it is abundant with the price of approximately $116.1 per metric ton including delivery. We have been using Inner Mongolia Tianlibao Fertilizer Co., Ltd. (“Tianlibao”) as our main supplier for the abundant and high-quality weathered coal in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. We do not have any purchase volume commitment pursuant to our supply agreement with Tianlibao, which is renewable on a monthly basis.

In addition to weathered coal, we also use approximately 50 different components in our production process, including elements such as sodium, calcium, zinc, iron and potassium, all of which can be readily obtained from local markets. We utilize spectral analysis technology to select raw materials with the best quality, and we have specially-trained buyers to ensure the consistency of raw materials procured.

The fertilizer products that Gufeng and Tianjuyuan manufacture incorporate over 50 different raw materials, including coal, sulfuric acid and NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) related compounds such as amide and hydro nitrogen. Beijing BaohenongxiangAgricluture Co. Ltd. and Sino-agri are the primary suppliers for raw materials to Gufeng, accounting for approximately 24.0% and 14.9%, respectively, of Gufeng’s total purchase for the fiscal year 2015. However, the loss of either of these suppliers would not cast a material adverse effect on our business. We do not believe there is any material risk of losing these suppliers during the next 12 months.

Our products are packaged in bottles, bags and boxes. Each type of packaging material, along with packaging labels, is readily available for purchase from manufacturers in Shaanxi, Beijing, Shandong and Zhejiang provinces.

Agricultural Products

The plants that generate our top-grade flowers and multi-colored seedlings are mainly planted and cultivated in research and development facilities maintained by Yuxing. We purchase seeds of green vegetables and fruits from agricultural companies, such as RijkZwaan Company which imports the seeds from foreign markets including Holland. We cultivate our agricultural products by applying fertilizers produced by Jinong.

Inventory

For our fertilizer products, our efficient production methods allow us to maintain low inventory levels, which keep inventory costs down. We purchase raw materials and packaging materials based on real demands. Products are shipped directly to distributors after production in response to orders we received. We normally carry finished goods up to one week and do not maintain any work-in-process.

For our agricultural products, we maintain approximately one month’s inventory because we need a significant amount of agricultural products to serve as our product testing base for research and development purpose.

Return Policy

The Company only accepts returns of defective fertilizer products. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the Company did not experience any significant returns.

Backlog

As of June 30, 2015, we had a backlog of orders in the amount of $9,413,250 as compared to $5,359,200, $1,009,962, and $221,760 in backlog orders as of June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

Seasonality

The peak season to sell fertilizer products was from January through June. However, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, Jinong did not experience seasonal variation with respect to its fertilizer sales since approximately 60.7% of its annual sales revenue occurred in the third fiscal quarter (winter) and the fourth fiscal quarter (spring). Gufeng’s sales of compound fertilizer has undergone significant seasonal variation in China. Correspondingly, the purchase of its raw material, basic fertilizers, is affected by the supply and demand in the fertilizer market with seasonality. Over non-peak sales season, when the raw material price is low, Gufeng still places larger orders for raw material as its export business offset the seasonality when exportation made to southern Asia, such as India, where their selling are on corresponds to the non-peak season in China.

The peak selling season for our agricultural products is from October till March the next calendar year, namely our second fiscal quarter (fall) and the third fiscal quarter (winter). This was primarily due to the strong demand for high-end fruits and decorative flowers during the holiday seasons. However, Yuxing did not have seasonal variation problem during the period from October 2014 through March 2015, it generated approximately 2.4 million, or 55.8% of our annual sales of agricultural products.

Marketing, Distribution and Customers

Overview

We currently market our fertilizer products to private wholesalers and retailers of agricultural farm products in 27 provinces, 4 autonomous regions and 3 central government-controlled municipalities in China. For the fiscal year 2015, the following five PRC provinces, collectively accounted for 53.1% of our total fertilizer revenue: Beijing(26.2%), Shaanxi (10.7%), Hebei (5.8%), Guangdong (5.6%) and Heilongjiang (4.9%). We believe this geographically diverse distribution greatly helps us to become a leader in the compound fertilizer market as compared to regional competitors because we are not heavily dependent on any single geographic area for sales and are able to raise our brand and product awareness nationwide. We also manufacture our fertilizer products for exportation through contracted distributors in foreign countries, including India and Ghana. Total revenues from exported products accounted for approximately 0.1% of our total fertilizer revenues in fiscal 2015.

FY2015 Export Details

Our agricultural products are distributed through various channels in Shaanxi Province and other provinces. Decorative flowers are usually sold through our fertilizer distributors to end-users such as flower shops, luxury hotels and government agencies. Fruits and vegetables are sold to high-end supermarkets and upscale restaurants. Seedlings are sold primarily to departments of city planning.

A multi-tiered product strategy allows us to tailor our fertilizer products to the needs and preferences of the various geographic regions in China. Our fertilizers can be tailored to different crops grown in varying climate and soil conditions. For example, climate and rainfall conditions in Southern and Eastern China allow farmers to grow high margin crops such as fruit and seasonal vegetables. As a result, these farmers are willing to invest in expensive and specialized fertilizers. In contrast, we market low-cost fertilizers to farmers in the Northwest areas of China due to the inclement weather.

Our research and development capabilities allows us to tailor products to meet specific farming needs in considering different factors such as crops species, humidity, weather and soil conditions.

Marketing

Our marketing staff is trained to closely work with distributors and customers, including retailers and farmers, providing professional advice on customizing our products to customer needs and offering agricultural knowledge and other extensive customer support. In addition, our employees educate and communicate with distributors and customers by regularly organizing training courses on new agricultural techniques.

Compared with industry norms, we believe our product development cycle of three to nine months is relatively short. Through our regular collection of market data, including growth records of a variety of plants cultivated in different soil and climate conditions, together with feedbacks from our end-users, we are able to conduct nationwide market analysis, ascertain new product needs, estimate demand and customer demographics and develop new products tailored to current market needs.

Although we utilize television advertisements and mass media, the majority of our marketing efforts are conducted through joint activities with distributors. Our sales and marketing staff works with and trains distributors and retail clients through lectures and interactive meetings. We emphasize the technological components of our products to end-users to help them understand the differences in products and how to effectively use them. Word-of-mouth advertising and sample trials of new products in new areas are also essential components of our marketing efforts. In addition, we have established nationwide telephone hotlines to answer questions and have constructed an SMS text message platform to have real-time interaction with customers.

Our best-selling fertilizers, based on revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, are listed below:

Fertilizer Products

The fertilizer product market in China is highly fragmented. Our primary sales strategy is to establish contractual relationships with qualified distributors throughout the country, who, in turn, will distribute our products to wholesalers and retailers, and ultimately, the farmers.

As of June 30, 2015, we sold our products through a carefully constructed network of about 1,292 distributors covering 27 provinces, 4 autonomous regions and 3 central government-controlled municipalities in China.

The distributors sell our products to the smaller, local wholesale and retail outlets who then sell to the end-users, typically farmers. We do not grant provincial or regional exclusivity because there is currently no single distributor sufficiently dominant to warrant exclusivity. We enter into non-exclusive written distribution agreements with chosen distributors that demonstrate their ability in regional sales networks. The distribution agreements do not dictate distribution quantity because changes in weather and local market could dramatically affect sales quotas.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, sales to our top five distributors accounted for approximately 37.0% of our fertilizer product revenue, of which Sino-agri Holding Company Limited accounted for 24.7% of the total fertilizer revenues. As we do not depend on any particular customers, we believe that the loss of single customers would not have any significant effect on our business.

Agricultural Products

We distribute our agricultural products through several networks depending on the type of product. Our top-grade flowers are mainly distributed through our fertilizer distribution network; Our green vegetables and fruits are mainly distributed to a variety of wholesale markets and supermarkets in Xi’an, while our multi-colored seedlings are distributed to the seedling centers and planting companies in China with which we have had long-term cooperation. The following is a list of our top five customers in terms of revenues for our agricultural products for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. Yuxing’s customers accounted for approximately 30.5% of the total revenues from Yuxing’s agricultural products.

Retail Stores and Authorized Retailers

We have successfully implemented two marketing programs in Shaanxi, Hebei, Anhui, Jiangsu and Guangzhou provinces. These marketing programs consist of: (i) establishment of Company directly-owned retail stores to sell fertilizer products produced by Jinong and Gufeng through the designated sales personnel (the “Pilot Program”) and (ii) selection of qualified retailers from the Company's distributor base to be designated as "China Green Agriculture Authorized Retailers". Under the Pilot Program, we currently have one directly-owned store operating in Shaanxi Province, with each store having an assigned territory in order not to compete with other existing distributors. Since the launch of the Pilot Program in January 2010, we have worked closely with our existing distributors who designate over 26,175 retailers, namely the “China Green Agriculture Retailers” for fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. We have entered into agreements with these retailers to prominently display "China Green Agriculture Authorized Retailer" on their exhibits, and have well-positioned standardized shelf and product displays in their retail stores. In addition, we provide the retailers with educational materials on proper product use and billboard ads with our product logo to attract target farmers.

Research and Development

We conduct the bulk of our research and development activities through Yuxing. As mentioned elsewhere in this Report, Jintai’s relocation and dissolution process were completed as of June 30, 2015. Through Yuxing, we cultivate high-quality flowers, green vegetables and fruits in our own greenhouses and sell them to various end-users, including airlines, hotels and restaurants. Yuxing operates advanced research and development facilities that: (i) provide testing and an experimental data collection base for new fertilizers produced by Jinong by simulating the growing conditions and development stages of a variety of plants, such as flowers, vegetables and seedlings, (ii) increase our capability to produce more products while shortening the new product development cycle, which allows us to release products to market quickly, thus increasing revenues and market share. In addition, our research and development capabilities allow us to develop products tailored to specific farming needs generated by different crop species, humidity, weather and soil conditions. Flowers, fruits and vegetables grown from experimental testing of Jinong’shumic acid compound fertilizers are of high quality and are sold to local supermarkets and airline companies.

The capital expenditure and other payments on Yuxing’s construction were approximately $474,322, $927,153 and $1,037,272 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Upon completion, we expect the research and development center to help expanding our output of high quality agricultural products for commercial sale while providing an advanced testing field for new products. The new facility will continue to enhance our capability to produce more products while shortening the development cycle, thus increase revenues and market share. In addition to developing new humic acid-based fertilizer products, we plan to develop other agricultural derivatives such as humic-acid based organic pesticides, which can provide additional revenue sources. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, we sold approximately $4,323,514 of these agricultural products.

The research and development costs in Jinong for the fiscal year 2015, 2014and 2013are illustrated as the following:

The research and development costs in Gufeng for the fiscal year 2015, 2014 and 2013 are illustrated in the table below:

In summary, as illustrated by the summary table below, for Jinong, Gufeng and Yuxing, the Company bears research and development costs as incurred. For the years ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, research and development costs were $743,936, $207,254 and $1,009,501 respectively.

New Products

With our strong and advanced research and development capabilities, we have developed 459 products and continued to develop new products. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, we developed 6 new products, which contributed $1,061,718 to our sales revenue for the period.

Among the new products we introduced in fiscal year 2015, there are several powder fertilizers, liquid fertilizers and compound fertilizers.

In addition to developing new fertilizer products, we also developed soilless seeding and breeding of colored-leaf plants, rare flowers and new species of fruits and vegetables.

Intellectual Property

We hold the following trademarks registered with the PRC Trademark Offices of National Industrial and Commerce Administrative Bureau (the “PRC Trademark Offices”):

A registered trademark is protected in China for a term of 10 years, and is renewable for another 10 year term under the PRC trademark law, as long as the renewal application is submitted to the PRC Trademark Offices within 6 months prior to the expiration of the previous term.

Listed below are Jinong’s four patents for a fertilizer formulation and a proprietary production line and manufacturing processes.

The PRC Patent Law was adopted by the PRC National People's Congress in 1984 and was subsequently amended in 1992 and 2000. Under the PRC Patent Law, an invention patent is valid for a term of 20 years and a utility or design patent is valid for a term of 10 years. Both of our registered patents are all utility patents. Any use of our patent without consent or a proper license from the us constitutes an infringement of patent rights.

In addition to trademark and patent protection in China, we also rely on contractual confidentiality provisions to protect our brand and intellectual property rights. To safeguard these rights our research and development personnel and executive officers are subject to confidentiality agreements. They are also subject to a non-compete covenant following the termination of employment. They also agree that all work products belong to us. Moreover, we take steps to limit the number of personnel involved in the production process and, instead of disclosing fertilizer ingredients to employees, we refer to the ingredients by numbers.

Competitive Strengths

We believe our products possess the following competitive advantages which enable us to compete in the PRC fertilizer market.

Nation-wide sales network. In the highly fragmented Chinese fertilizer market, we have established our own distribution channels with private distributors that sell our products to retail stores and farmers throughout China. We have over 1,292 distributors nationwide across 27 provinces, 4 autonomous regions and 3 central government-controlled municipalities in China. Most of our competitors do not have a sales team as large as ours that specializes in the sale of compound fertilizer products. Moreover, we believe the regional strengths of Gufeng’s distribution network have expanded and will continue to expand our sales coverage to certain cities and counties as well as foreign markets.

Strong Research and Development. Our research and development is managed effectively. Typically, it takes only three to nine months from the decision to develop a new product to mass production, which ensures product flow and helps to maintain market share. Our strong research and development department is based on our intelligent greenhouse facilities. The advanced equipment and soil-free techniques in such facilities simulate the natural environment in different areas and control selected factors. Since most of Jinong’s experimental work is conducted in Yuxing’s greenhouse facilities, thereby speeding up development cycles, we are able to reduce costs without sacrificing accurate results. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, we generated approximately $4,323,514 revenue from sales of Yuxing’s agricultural products, and we anticipate that this source of revenue will grow in the future. We have built 98 sunlight greenhouses and six intelligence greenhouses over an 88-acre parcel of land in connection with Yuxing's pending research and development center, which expands output of high quality agricultural products for commercial sale while providing an advanced testing field for new products.

Gufeng and Tianjuyuan have a total of 22employees in research and development. They have independently developed seven technologies:

(1) Drying fan for urea-based compound fertilizer;

(2) Heat balance control system for flexible compound fertilizer;

(3) Automatic control system for the anti-block of compound fertilizer;

(4) Water control technology for low nitrogen, low potassium and high phosphorus compound fertilizer;

(5) Manufacturing technology for salt-alkaline resistance and soil improvement of compound fertilizer(The company had won the third prize for “Progress in Science and Technology in Pinggu District Beijing” with this technology);

(6) Manufacturing technology for compound HA fertilizer with high density (NPK ≥ 51%);

(7) Manufacturing technology for the sustained release of blending and compound fertilizer

While we believe our greenhouse facilities provide us with a competitive advantage over the competitors, some of them may still have better understanding in certain local markets where they successfully marketed products over a period of time and have developed specifically formulated fertilizers for local plants, soil and climate conditions. To enhance our competitiveness, we will seek to diversify our fertilizers to benefit a wider range of plants and soil conditions.

Well-known Brand. We believe customers have strong brand recognition and would make purchase decision accordingly. “Jinong”, “KEBA” and “T.J.Y” are registered trademarks and are well recognized by end users; in addition, certain large national fertilizer traders, such as Sinoagri Holding Company Limited, one of the largest domestic fertilizer traders in China, had strong brand preference for Gufeng’s fertilizer products. Gufeng sells its products under four brands, namely “KEBA”, “Meier’an”, “Huangchenggen” and “SPR HOP”. Tianjuyuan’s products are marketed under the brands “AGR GFJ” and “T.J.Y.” The primary products sold under the Gufeng and Tianjuyuan brands include orgainc/inorganic compound fertilizer (humic acid) with NPK ≥ 40%, and organic /inorganic compound fertilizer (humic acid) with NPK ≥ 48%.

Automated Production Line and Process. All of Jinong’s major production procedures are controlled by a centralized computer system only accessible for authorized personnel. Jinong’s production lines are fully automated to ensure that content in each product is measured exactly according to its recipe by linking the computer server with the electronic weights on each material input bins. In addition, spectral analysis is used to accurately check the composition of materials. During the fiscal year 2015, Jinong’s highly advanced production lines manufactured a multi-tiered line of 125 fertilizer products, and we believe that Jinong’s production lines are among the few advanced lines in the Chinese industry. As mentioned above, we have patent protection for Jinong’s two proprietary production lines, one of which has medical grade production equipment with precise quality control, and the other is capable of producing liquid, powder and granular fertilizers. We currently have an annual production capacity of 555,000 metric tons.

Competition

Fertilizer Products

Based on our internal estimates, there are approximately 2,000 organic fertilizer manufacturers in China with no discernible market leaders in the sector. We believe our competitors are currently comprised of approximately 90% small-sized local manufacturers and 10% large national manufacturers such as Yongye International, Inc. We believe we are among the largest national fertilizer manufacturers.

Gufeng’s primary competitor is Stanley Fertilizer Co., Ltd. (“Stanley”), a compound fertilizer manufacturer based in Linyi, Shandong Province, which was listed on Shenzhen Stock Exchange (China) in June 2011. Stanley manufactures various kinds of compound fertilizers and tailored fertilizers which were in direct compete with Gufeng.

The smaller competitors of ours are generally producers of amino acid compound fertilizers which are very price competitive. However, lacking of adequate quality or process control technologies, these companies always sell products with inconsistent quality.

The Chinese fertilizer market has been fully opened to foreign companies since China’s entry into the World Trade Organization in December 2006. Accordingly, the PRC government has increased its fertilizer import quota and, since January 2007, has reduced the import tariffs on foreign fertilizer to 1%. However, foreign fertilizers are generally more expensive than PRC manufactured fertilizers and are not customized to soil conditions influenced by China’s diverse climate and terrains.

Agricultural Products

The competitive market of our agriculture products varies among our three main products: Top-grade flowers, green vegetables and fruits, multi-colored seedlings.

Top-grade Flowers: The main competitor to our flowers and flower seedlings is Sanyi Agriculture Technology Co., Ltd. (Beijing). We believe that our flower products have comparative advantages in terms of the advanced technologies we apply, the superior species of the seedlings we select and the efficiency and stability due to strict quality control. In addition, our greenhouse facilities enable us to produce flower seedlings year-round.

Green Vegetables and Fruits: Our competitors are primarily the vegetable planting centers and planters in Shaanxi, Shandong and Gansu provinces that produce vegetables such as cucumbers and peppers. With the aid from our green fertilizers that improve soil conditions and limit bacterial growth, our competitive advantage lies in the advanced greenhouse facilities which contribute to the pollution-free end products.

Multi-colored Seedlings: In the market of Multi-colored seedlings, one of our main competitors is Kunming Anthura horticulture Co. Ltd. Our products, primarily red photiniaserrulata, are imported from other countries with high survival rates.

Employees

We had a total of 424 full-time employees, of which 119 are employed by Jinong, 79 are employed by Yuxing, 226 are employed by Gufeng and Tianjuyuan as of June 30, 2015.

None of our employees are under collective bargaining agreements. We believe we maintained a satisfactory working relationship with our employees and we have not experienced any significant labor disputes or any difficulty in retaining our employees or recruiting staff for our operations.

Government Regulation

Our business operations are subject to various laws, including environmental, health and workplace safety laws issued by governmental agencies on the provincial and state levels. Business and company registrations, along with the products, are monitored through the issuance of licenses and certificates including the following:

l “Green” Certification. Except for those manufactured by Gufeng and Tianjuyuan, all of our fertilizer products are certified by the CGFDC as “Green Food Production Material”. Currently, the CGFDC provides two different certifications within the green food industry: "Green Food Certification" granted to edible foods, and "Green Food Production Material Certification" granted to production materials such as our fertilizers. A “Green Food Production Material Certification” was issued to Jinong on March 2015 and will expire in March 2018. The certificate is renewable with an application within 90 days prior to the expiration.

l Operating license. Our operating license enables us to (1) undertake research and development, production, sales and services of humic-acid liquid fertilizer, (2) sales of pesticides, and (3) export and import of products, technology and equipment. Jinong’s license (Registration No. 610000100003655) is valid until August 8, 2057, and the license is renewable. Gufeng and Tianjuyuan maintain valid operating licenses with expiration day on August 1, 2043 (for the license with Registration No. 110000008250498) and August 7, 2021 (for the license with Registration No.110117003157142), respectively.

l Fertilizer Registration. Fertilizer registration is issued by the Ministry of Agriculture of the PRC and is required for producing fertilizers. There are two kinds of registrations: interim registration and formal registration. The interim registration is valid for one year and applies to fertilizers in the stages of in-the-field testing and test selling; Fertilizers that have completed in-the-field testing and test selling must obtain formal registration, which, if granted, is valid for five years, and thereafter must be renewed every five years. Jinong currently holds 16 formal fertilizer registration certificates. Gufeng and Tianjuyuan hold 11 interim fertilizer certificates and 259 formal certificates.

As of the date of this Report, we believe we are in material compliance with all registrations and requirements for the issuance and maintenance of all licenses required to conduct our businesses and operations.

Investing in our securities involves risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the following information about these risks, together with the other information contained in this Report. Our business, results of operations or financial condition could be adversely affected by any of these risks, which could result in a decline in the market price of our securities, causing you to lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business

The industry in which we do business is highly fragmented and competitive and we face competition from numerous fertilizer manufacturers in China and elsewhere.

We compete with numerous local Chinese fertilizer manufacturers. Although we may have greater resources than many of our competitors, most of which are small local fertilizer companies and it is possible that these competitors have better access in certain local markets, an enhanced ability to customize products to particular regions and better established local distribution channels. We also compete with a few large PRC national competitors, such as Yuntianhua Group Co., Ltd and Yongye International, Inc. Although we have advanced automated humic acid-based fertilizer production lines and green house supported research and development centers, we cannot assure you that such large competitors will not develop their own similar production or research and development facilities. Further, China’s access into the World Trade Organization has led to increased foreign competition for us. International producers and traders import products into China that generally are of higher quality than those produced by the local Chinese manufacturers. If they are localized and become familiar with fertilizers we produce, we may face additional competition. If we are not successful in our research, development and production of new products and/or in our marketing and advertising efforts to increase awareness of our brands, our revenues could decline, which might have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and share price.

Our major competitors may be able to endure downturns in our industrial sector more than we are. When facing reduced demand for our products, we can either choose to maintain market share by reducing selling prices to meet competition, or to maintain the prices while sacrificing a portion of market share. The overall profitability would be reduced in either case. In addition, we cannot assure you that additional competitors will not enter into our existing markets, or that we will be able to compete successfully against existing or new competitors.

If we are unable to design, manufacture, and market fertilizer products in a timely and efficient manner, we may not remain as competitive.

A lot of our fertilizer products are characterized by short product development cycles as they target at the unique climate and soil conditions where our customers are located.  Accordingly, we devote a substantial amount of resources to product development. To compete successfully, we must develop new and/or improved fertilizer products that cater to customer needs.  New fertilizers may not be easily developed. As a result, we may experience performance difficulties, which may result in delays, setbacks and cost overruns.  Our inability to develop and offer new and/or improved fertilizer products or to achieve customer acceptance of these products could limit our ability to compete in the market or to grow revenues at a desired rate.

Our proprietary fertilizer formula may become obsolete or be unintentionally disclosed to competitors, which could materially adversely affect the competitiveness of our future fertilizer products.

Our proprietary fertilizer formula is the base for producing our fertilizer. Our future success will depend upon our ability to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers by supplying existing humic acid fertilizer products and by developing new products on a timely basis that keep pace with the evolving industry standards and changing customer requests. If our proprietary formula becomes obsolete as our competitors develop better products than ours, our future business and financial results could be adversely affected. In addition, although we have entered into confidentiality agreements with key employees, we cannot assure you that if there is a breach of such agreement by an employee, we would not lose any competitive advantage that we currently have with respect to our proprietary fertilizer formula.  If we are forced to take legal action to protect our proprietary formula, significant expense will incur and a favorable outcome can not be guaranteed. 

If our warehouse selling and credit sales of certain fertilizer products continue to increase and we fail to collect the accounts receivables that are due in a timely manner, our financial condition and results of operation may be materially adversely affected.

We had accounts receivable of $68,528,598 as of June 30, 2015, as compared to $88,781,608 and $85,323,442 as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, a decrease of $20,253,010 and an increase of $3,458,166, or 22.8% and 4.1% year over year. The increase was primarily due to the increased credit sales of Gufeng’s fertilizer products and the aggressive marketing of Jinong’s humic acid fertilizer products including liquid and powder fertilizers. We offer a tentative credit period up to 180 days to our customers. Although we perform routine assessment of our customers’ creditworthiness, evaluate the structure and collectability of accounts receivable and provide an allowance for doubtful accounts when necessary, we may not be able to receive or collect payment for our products on time or at all if our customers encounter financial difficulties. Any such failure may have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operation.

Our concentration of customers could have a material adverse effect on us.

Gufeng’s top five distributors accounted for 74.8% of its revenues with its largest distributor accounted for 49.8% of the total revenues for the fiscal year of 2015. Jinong’s top five distributors accounted for 1.5% of its fertilizer revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. If those major customers reduce or discontinue their product purchases from us and we are unable to find their replacements, it would adversely affect our results of operations.

If we fail to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, we may be exposed to intellectual property infringement and the value of our intellectual property rights could diminish.

Our success, competitive position and future revenues will depend in part on our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection for our products, methods, processes and other technologies, to preserve our trade secrets, to prevent third parties from infringing on our proprietary rights and to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties.  

Jinong is the holder of four registered patents. The first patent is a fertilizer formulation named “Method and Recipe of the Water Soluble Humic Acid Fertilizers”. The second patent, “Production Facility of Humic Acid Products”, relates to our proprietary production line and manufacturing processes in the PRC. The third patent is “Production Method of Organic Fertilizer”. The fourth patent is “ Production method of Multifunctional liquid calcium fertilizer”. Gufeng and Tianjuyuan do not have patents but currently possess seven proprietary technologies. However, we cannot predict the degree and range of protection patents and confidentiality agreements with respect to proprietary technologies will defense us against competitors. Third parties may find ways to invalidate or otherwise circumvent our patents and proprietary technologies. Third parties may attempt to obtain patents claiming aspects similar to our patent applications. We cannot assure you that our current or potential competitors do not have, and will not obtain, patents that will prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make, use or sell our products in the PRC.

If we need to initiate litigation or administrative proceedings, such actions may be costly and may divert management attention as well as consume other resources which could otherwise have been devoted to our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair our intellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, historically, implementation of PRC intellectual property-related laws has been lacking, primarily because of ambiguities in the PRC laws and difficulties in enforcement. Accordingly, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in China may not be as effective as that in the United States or other countries, which increases the risk that we may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property. Moreover, litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights. Future litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of our management’s attention and resources, and could disrupt our business, as well as have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Given the relative unpredictability of China’s legal system and potential difficulties enforcing court judgments in China, there is no guarantee that we would be able to halt any unauthorized use of our intellectual property through litigation.

If we infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties, we could be prevented from selling products, forced to pay damages and compelled to defend against claims by third parties, which, if successful, could cause us to pay significant damage awards and incur other costs.

Our success also depends in large part on our ability to use and develop our technology and know-how without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. As litigation becomes more common in the PRC in resolving commercial disputes, we face a higher risk of being the subject of intellectual property infringement claims. The validity and scope of claims relating to humic acid fertilizer production technology and related devices and machine patents involve complex technical, legal and factual questions and analysis and, therefore, may be highly uncertain. The defense and prosecution of intellectual property suits, patent opposition proceedings and related legal and administrative proceedings can be both costly and time consuming and may significantly divert the efforts and resources of our technical and management personnel. An adverse determination in any such litigation or proceedings to which we may become a party could subject us to significant liability including damage awards to third parties, require us to seek licenses from third parties (which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all), to pay ongoing royalties, or to redesign our products or subject us to injunctions preventing the manufacture and sale of our products. Protracted litigation could also result in our customers or potential customers deferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation.

Disruptions in the supply of raw materials used in our products could cause us to be unable to meet customer demand in a timely manner, which could result in the loss of customers and net sales or could result in a lower profit margin for us.

Jinong is supplied with approximately 50 different types of raw materials, of which weathered coal is the primary one as it is the raw material from which humic acid is extracted and applied to the manufacturing of our products.  Although there are numerous weathered coal suppliers available in market, we have been using Inner Mongolia Tianlibao Fertilizer Co., Ltd. (“Tianlibao”) as our main supplier of weathered coal because of the abundance and high quality of weathered coal in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Our supply agreement with Tianlibao is renewed on a monthly basis. If Tianlibao does not intend to renew the supply agreement with us for any reason, or if there are any business interruptions at Tianlibao and we are unable to locate an alternative supplier in a timely manner or on the same terms, we may not be able to meet customer demand on humic acid-based fertilizers in a timely manner or maintain our standards of quality for humic acid-based fertilizers during the transitional period, which may result in the loss of customers and net sales or we may not be able to keep our profit margin as before for our humic acid-based fertilizers.

Gufeng and Tianjuyuan are supplied with over fifty types of raw materials from a diversified pool of suppliers. Neither Gufeng nor Tianjuyuan are dependent on any single supplier for its raw materials; however, if we experience a significant increase in demand or if we need to replace any of these suppliers, we cannot be assured that the adequate supply of raw materials or a replacement supplier will be acquired in a timely manner to avoid any material adverse effect on our business operations and financial condition.

Any significant fluctuation in our production costs may have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

The prices for the raw materials and other inputs to manufacture our fertilizer products are subject to market forces largely beyond our control, including the price of weathered coal, energy costs, mineral and non-mineral elements, and freight costs. The costs for these inputs may fluctuate significantly based upon changes in the economy and markets. Although we may pass any increase of such costs to our customers, in the event we are unable to do so, we could incur significant losses and a diminution of our share price.

We do not presently maintain business disruption insurance. Any disruption of the operations in our factories would damage our business.

Our operations could be interrupted by fire, flood, earthquake and other events beyond our control for which we do not carry adequate insurance. While we have property damage insurance and automobile insurance, we do not carry business disruption insurance, which is not readily available in China. Any disruption of the operations in our factories would have a significant negative impact on our ability to manufacture and deliver products, which would cause a potential diminution in sales, the cancellation of orders, damage to our reputation and potential lawsuits.

We do not presently maintain product liability insurance, and our property and equipment insurance does not cover the full value of our property and equipment, which leaves us with exposure in the event of loss or damage to our properties or claims filed against us.

We currently do not carry any product liability or other similar insurance. We cannot assure you that we would not face liability in the event of the failure of any of our products. We also cannot assure you that, especially as China’s domestic consumer economy and industrial economy continues to expand, product liability exposure and litigation will not become more commonplace in the PRC, or that we will not face product liability exposure or actual liability as we expand our sales into international markets where product liability claims could be more prevalent.

The occurrence of any acts of God, war, terrorist attacks and other emergencies which are beyond our control may have a material adverse effect on our business operations and financial condition.

Acts of God, war, terrorist attacks and other emergencies which are beyond our control may have a material adverse effect on the economy and infrastructure in the PRC and on the livelihood of the Chinese population.  Our business operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected should such events occur.  We cannot give assurance that any acts of God such as floods, earthquakes, drought or any war, terrorist attack or other hostilities in any part of the PRC or even the world, potential or threatened, will not, directly or indirectly, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

If we cannot renew our fertilizer registration certificates, we will be unable to sell some or all of our products. If we do not receive the formal fertilizer registration certificates for our new products, upon the expiration of the temporary registration certificates, we cannot continue to produce such new products.

All fertilizers produced in China must be registered with the PRC Ministry of Agriculture. No fertilizer can be manufactured without such registration. There are two kinds of registrations: interim registration and formal registration. The interim registration is valid for one year and applies to fertilizers in the stages of in-the-field testing and test selling. Fertilizers that have completed in-the-field testing and test selling must obtain formal registration, which is valid for five years, and thereafter must be renewed each five years. Jinong has 16 formal registration certificates. Gufeng and Tianjuyuan have 19 interim fertilizer certificates and 259 formal certificates. We will apply for formal certificates for each of our interim certificates before the applicable expiration date.

Our belief is that the PRC Ministry of Agriculture generally grants an application for renewal in the absence of illegal activity by the applicant. However, there is no assurance that the PRC Ministry of Agriculture will grant renewal of our formal Fertilizer Registration Certificates. If we cannot obtain the necessary renewal, we will not be able to manufacture and sell such fertilizer products without certificates which will cause the termination of commercial operations for such fertilizer products. With respect to the transformation of the interim fertilizer registration certificates to formal fertilizer registration certificates, we believe that we can receive formal fertilizer registration certificates for our 19 interim fertilizer registration certificates in due course; however, if the government imposes additional burden on the application procedure or put temporary suspension on its certificate granting process due to any unexpected incidents in China, we cannot assure you that our formal fertilizer registration certificates can be obtained without delay or  can be obtained at all in which case our production could be adversely affected. 

We may not possess all the licenses required to operate our business, or may fail to maintain the licenses we currently hold. This could subject us to fines and other penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

In addition to a fertilizer registration certificate, we are required to hold a variety of other permits, licenses and certificates to conduct our business in China. We may not possess or receive all the permits, licenses and certificates required for our business or for which application has been made. In addition, there may be circumstances under which the approvals, permits, licenses or certificates granted by the governmental agencies are subject to change without substantial advance notice. If we fail to obtain or to maintain such permits, licenses or certificates or renewals are granted with onerous conditions, we could be subject to fines and other penalties and be limited in the number or the quality of the products that we would be able to offer. As a result, our business, result of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Potential environmental liability could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

Our manufacturing operations are subject to numerous laws, regulations, rules and specifications relating to the environment, including, among others, the Integrated Emission Standard of Air Pollutants GB 16297-1996 and the Standard of Environmental Noise of Urban Area GB 3096-93.  Failure to comply with any laws and regulations and future changes to them may result in significant consequences to us, including civil and criminal penalties, liability for damages and negative publicity.  Our business and operating results may be materially and adversely affected if we were to be held liable for violating existing environmental regulations or if we were to incur significant expenditures to comply with environmental regulations affecting our operations.

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

We depend, to a large extent, on the abilities and participation of our current management team, with a particular reliance upon Mr. Tao Li, our CEO, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors. The loss of the services of Mr. Li, for any reason, may have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects. We cannot assure you that the services of Mr. Li will continue to be available to us, or that we will be able to find a suitable replacement for him in the event his services are not available to us. We do not carry key man life insurance for our key personnel.

The agricultural chemicals business is specialized and requires the employment of personnel with significant scientific and operational experience in the industry. Accordingly, we must attract, recruit and retain a sizeable workforce of technically and scientifically competent employees. Our ability to effectively implement our business strategy will depend upon, among other factors, the successful recruitment and retention of additional management and other key personnel that have the necessary scientific, technical and operational skills and experience with the fertilizer industry. These individuals are difficult to find in the PRC and we may not be able to retain such skilled employees. If we are unable to hire individuals with the requisite experience, we may not be able to produce enough products to optimize profits, and the research and development initiatives may be delayed which will negatively impact our financial condition, results of operations and share price.

Mr. Tao Li, our Chairman, President and CEO may not devote all of his time to our business.

Our Chairman, President and CEO, Mr. Tao Li, also serves as Chairman of Xi’an Techteam Science & Technology Industry (Group) Co. Ltd., a company engaged in hi-tech application fields in China, Chairman and CEO of Xi’an Techteam Investment Holding (Group) Co., Ltd, a holding company for certain entities such as Gem Grain, and Chairman of Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd, a publicly-traded, China-based developer and provider of mobile enterprise solutions. This may give rise to further allocation of Mr. Li’s time to each business.  While Mr. Li anticipates having sufficient time to devote to our business, a lack of adequate time spent by him on our business may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and share price.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results. As a result, current and potential investors could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could harm our business and have an adverse effect on our stock price.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to annually furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. Such report must contain, among other matters, an assessment by our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, including a statement as to whether or not our internal control over financial reporting is effective as of the end of our fiscal year. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting identified by management. Performing the system and process documentation and evaluation needed to comply with Section 404 are both costly and challenging. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.   We cannot provide assurance that we will not fail to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment on an ongoing basis, which may cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

We are responsible for the indemnification of our officers and directors.

Our Bylaws provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against costs and expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on our behalf. Consequently, we may be required to expend substantial funds to satisfy these indemnity obligations.

Our inability to effectively improve the financial performance of Gufeng may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Although Gufeng had sales revenues of $128,675,606 for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, Gufeng’s net income for such period was $13,764,794.  This was primarily due to the lower profit margins on Gufeng’s products, inefficiencies in production and daily operations and negative working capital.  In addition, rising transportation costs passed on by Gufeng’s distributors may further erode margins on Gufeng’s products.  As Gufeng is based in Beijing, it is susceptible to rising costs of labor common in large cities such as Beijing, which may make it difficult for us to expand the workforce of Gufeng and Tianjuyuan to meet our strategic goals.

Although we have made progress in terms of integrating Gufeng’s employees, products and distribution network into our business during the past 12 months, there is no assurance that we will be able to continue effectively to do so, which may result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have not obtained the land use right over the premises on which certain facilities of Gufeng, our indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, is located.  As a result, the lack of a proper title certificate may jeopardize our right to use the premises and our possession of the buildings we built on such premises.

  Through Tianjuyuan, we lease approximately 47,333 square meters (509,488 square feet) of land in the Ping Gu District of Beijing (the “Premises”).  Under the lease dated February 16, 2004 with the village committee of Dong Gao Village and Zhen Nan Zhang Dai Village in the Beijing Ping Gu District (the “Lease”), Tianjuyuan leases the land at an annual rent of RMB 35,500 (approximately $5,783).  The term of the Lease is from February 1, 2004 to January 31, 2054.  We were informed by our PRC counsel that the Lease is invalid and unenforceable pursuant to the PRC Land Administration Law and related regulations.  Therefore, we have been in the process of applying for the proper land use right certificate from the relevant government authorities in order to legitimize our right over the Premises. As of the date of this report, we were informed by the local government that our application materials for the land use right in issue has been moved up from the department in charge of general matters to the land administrative department of the local government and is under their review.  However, there can be no assurance that such land use right certificate will be granted to us.  Until we obtain the land use right certificate, there is a risk that the PRC government may declare the Lease invalid, evict our personnel from the Premises and tear down the buildings we built on the Premises.  As of the date of this Report, we have no knowledge of any pending or threatened governmental actions relating to the Premises.

A severe or prolonged downturn in the global economy could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

The global market and economic conditions during the years 2008 through 2010 were unprecedented and challenging, with recessions occurring in most major economies. Continued concerns about the systemic impact of potential long-term and wide-spread recession, energy costs, geopolitical issues, and the availability and cost of credit have contributed to increased market volatility and diminished expectations for economic growth around the world. The difficult economic outlook has negatively affected businesses and consumer confidence and contributed to volatility of unprecedented levels.

The PRC economy also faces challenges. The PRC government has implemented various measures recently to curb inflation. If economic growth slows or an economic downturn occurs, our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC

Substantially all of our assets and operations are located in the PRC, and substantially all of our revenue is sourced from the PRC.  Accordingly our results of operations and financial position are subject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in the PRC, including the following risks:

Changes in the policies of the PRC government could have a significant impact upon the business we may be able to conduct in the PRC and the profitability of such business.

The PRC’s economy is in a transition from a planned economy to a market oriented economy subject to five-year and annual plans adopted by the government that set national economic development goals (Source: President Hu’s Report at 17th Party Congress). Policies of the PRC government can have significant effects on economic conditions in China. Our interests may be adversely affected by changes in policies by the PRC government, including:

Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than two decades, we cannot assure you that the government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption, or other circumstances affecting political, economic and social life in China.

The slowing economic growth in China may assert a negative impact on our operation and financial results.

According to an article published on August 14, 2015, a slew of recent figures have shown that growth in several key sectors has slowed to a crawl in response to contracting world trade. The demand for oil in China, a key measure of activity, fell in tandem with a fall in car sales. Exports tumbled in June by 8.3%. Furthermore, according to an article published by Fortune on January 21, 2015 since recording its last double-digit growth (10.4%) in 2010, the Chinese economy has effectively decelerated 30% in five years. Most of the slowdown occurred in 2011 and 2012 when reported growth was 9.3% and 7.7%, respectively. Wall Street Journal stated on January 19, 2015 that China’s economic growth slowed to 7.4% in 2014, downshifting to a level not seen in a quarter century.

In the next two to three years, China’s growth performance could deteriorate because of the overhang of its real estate bubble, massive manufacturing overcapacity, and the lack of new growth engines. The International Monetary Fund and UBS estimate that the Chinese economy will grow by 6.8% in 2015. If China’s economy is further slowing down, it may negatively affect our business operation and financial results.

The PRC laws and regulations governing our current business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain. Any changes in such PRC laws and regulations may have a material and adverse effect on our business.

We and any future subsidiaries are considered foreign persons or foreign funded enterprises under PRC laws, and we are subject to PRC laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are sometimes vague and may be subject to future changes, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance from foreign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. We cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations may have on our business.

We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from sales in the PRC and any downturn in the Chinese economy could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Substantially all of our operations are conducted in the PRC and substantially all of our revenues are generated from sales in the PRC. We anticipate that revenues from sales of our products in the PRC will continue to represent a substantial proportion of our total revenues in the near future.  Any significant decline in the condition of the PRC economy could, among other things, adversely affect the consumption of our products, which in turn would have a material adverse effect on our revenues and profitability.

Inflation in the PRC could negatively affect our profitability and growth.

While the PRC economy has experienced rapid growth, it has been uneven among various sectors of the economy and in different geographical areas of the country. Rapid economic growth can lead to growth in the money supply and rising inflation. If prices for our products do not rise at a rate that is sufficient to fully absorb inflation-driven increases in our costs of supplies, our profitability can be adversely affected.

According to the International Monetary Fund or IMF, the inflation rate in China fluctuated on an annual basis from a low rate of -1.4% in 1999 to the highest rate of 5.9% in 2008. The inflation rate was 2.6%, 2.6%, and 1.5% in 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. These fluctuations and economic factors have led to the adoption by the Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation. In order to control inflation in the past, the PRC government has imposed controls on bank credits, limits on loans for fixed assets and restrictions on state bank lending. The implementation of these and other similar policies can impede economic growth and thereby harm the market for our products. 

Our subsidiaries are subject to restrictions on paying dividends and making other payments to our subsidiary, Green New Jersey; as a result, we might therefore be unable to pay dividends to you.

We are a holding company incorporated in the State of Nevada and do not have any assets or conduct any business operations other than our investments in our subsidiaries, Green New Jersey, Jinong, Gufeng and Yuxing (a VIE entity).  As a result of our holding company structure, we rely entirely on dividends payments from our subsidiaries in the PRC. PRC regulations currently permit payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Our subsidiaries are also required to set aside a portion of its after-tax profits according to PRC accounting standards and regulations to fund certain reserve funds. We may experience difficulties such as lengthy processing time from the foreign exchange administrative bureau’s side and formality requirement on paperwork in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency. Furthermore, if any of our subsidiaries incurs debt on its own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other payments. If we or Green New Jersey are unable to receive any profits from the operations of our subsidiaries in the PRC, we may be unable to pay dividends to our common stock holders.

Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi (“RMB”) into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC. We receive substantially all our revenues in RMB, which is currently not a freely convertible currency. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict our ability to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends, or otherwise satisfy foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from the transaction, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate governmental authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of the PRC to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies.

The PRC government also may at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay certain of our expenses as they come due.

The fluctuation of RMB may materially and adversely affect your investment.

The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC's political and economic conditions. As we rely entirely on revenues earned in the PRC, any significant revaluation of RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues and financial condition. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars we receive from an offering of our securities into RMB for our operations, appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar could lead the RMB equivalent of the U.S. dollars be reduced and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, if we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making dividend payments on our common stock or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the RMB, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the RMB we convert would be reduced. In August 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, represented the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain that China’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.

Very limited hedging transactions are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions. While we may enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these transactions may be limited, and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure at all. In addition, the depreciation of significant U.S. dollar denominated assets could result in a charge to our income statement and a reduction in the value of these assets.

PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC domestic residents may subject our PRC resident beneficial owners to personal liability, limit our ability to inject capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our subsidiaries’ ability to increase their registered capital or distribute profits to us, or may otherwise adversely affect us.

SAFE promulgated the Circular on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Control on Domestic Residents’ Offshore Investment and Financing and Roundtrip Investment through Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 37, on July 4, 2014, which replaced the former circular commonly known as “SAFE Circular 75” promulgated by SAFE on October 21, 2005. SAFE Circular 37 (the “SAFE Notice”) requires PRC residents to register with local branches of SAFE in connection with their direct establishment or indirect control of an offshore entity, for the purpose of overseas investment and financing, with such PRC residents’ legally owned assets or equity interests in domestic enterprises or offshore assets or interests, referred to in SAFE Circular 37 as a “special purpose vehicle” (the “SPV”). SAFE Circular 37 further requires amendment to the registration in the event of any significant changes with respect to the special purpose vehicle, such as increase or decrease of capital contributed by PRC individuals, share transfer or exchange, merger, division or other material event. Under the SAFE Notice, failure to comply with the registration procedures set forth above could result in liability under Chinese law for foreign exchange evasion and may result in penalties and legal sanctions, including fines, the imposition of restrictions on a Chinese subsidiary’s foreign exchange activities and its ability to distribute dividends to the SPV, its ability to pay the SPV proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation in respect of the Chinese subsidiary and the SPV’s ability to contribute additional capital into or provide loans to the Chinese subsidiary. After consultation with China counsel, we do not believe that any of our PRC domestic resident stockholders are subject to the SAFE registration requirement. However, we cannot provide any assurances that all of our stockholders who are PRC residents will not be required to make or obtain any applicable registrations or approvals required by these SAFE regulations in the future. The failure or inability of our PRC resident stockholders to comply with the registration procedures set forth therein may subject us to fines and legal sanctions, restrict our cross-border investment activities, or limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute dividends or obtain foreign-exchange-dominated loans to our company.

As it is uncertain how the SAFE regulations will be interpreted or implemented, we cannot predict how these regulations will affect our business operations or future strategy.  For example, we may be subject to more stringent review and approval process with respect to our foreign exchange activities, such as remittance of dividends and foreign-currency-denominated borrowings, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.  In addition, if we decide to acquire a PRC domestic company, we cannot assure you that we or the owners of such company, as the case may be, will be able to obtain the necessary approvals or complete the necessary filings and registrations required by the SAFE regulations.  This may restrict our ability to implement our acquisition strategy and could adversely affect our business and prospects.

We may be subject to fines and legal sanctions by SAFE or other PRC government authorities if we or our employees who are PRC citizens fail to comply with PRC regulations relating to employee stock options granted by offshore listed companies to PRC citizens.

On March 28, 2007, SAFE promulgated the Operating Procedures for Foreign Exchange Administration of Domestic Individuals Participating in Employee Stock Ownership Plans and Stock Option Plans of Offshore Listed Companies, or Circular 78.  Under Circular 78, Chinese citizens who are granted share options by an offshore listed company are required, through a Chinese agent or Chinese subsidiary of the offshore listed company, to register with SAFE and complete certain other procedures, including applications for foreign exchange purchase quotas and opening special bank accounts.  We and our Chinese employees who have been granted share options are subject to Circular 78.  Failure to comply with these regulations may subject us or our Chinese employees to fines and legal sanctions imposed by SAFE or other PRC government authorities and may prevent us from further granting options under our share incentive plans to our employees. Such events could adversely affect our business operations.

Our business and financial performance may be materially adversely affected if the PRC regulatory authorities determine that our acquisition of Jinong constitutes a Round-trip Investment without the PRC Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”) approval.

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies promulgated the Regulation on Merger and Acquisition of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors (the “2006 M&A Rules”), which became effective on September 8, 2006. According to  the 2006 M&A Rules, a “Round-trip Investment” is defined as having taken place when a PRC business that is owned, directly or indirectly, by PRC individual(s) is sold to a non-PRC entity that is established or controlled, directly or indirectly, by those same PRC individual(s) and their PRC affiliates. Under the 2006 M&A Rules, any Round-trip Investment must be approved by the MOFCOM. The application of the 2006 M&A Rules with respect to the definition of Round-trip Investment remains unclear with no consensus currently existing among the leading PRC law firms regarding the definition, scope of the applicability of the MOFCOM approval.

We, through Green New Jersey, acquired 100% capital stock of Jinong (the “Jinong Acquisition”), Jinong was a PRC business whose stockholders were two PRC individuals and a PRC entity, of which Mr. Tao Li, our current Chairman, President and CEO, was the controlling stockholder holding 31% of its shares. The PRC regulatory authorities may take the view that the Jinong Acquisition could be part of a Round-trip Investment. The PRC legal counsel of Jinong has opinioned that the Jinong Acquisition did not violate any PRC law, which would include the 2006 M&A Rules.  We, however, cannot assure you that the PRC regulatory authorities, MOFCOM in particular, may take the same view as the PRC legal counsel. If the PRC regulatory authorities take the view that the Jinong Acquisition constitutes a Round-trip Investment under the 2006 M&A Rules, we cannot assure you we may be able to obtain the approval required from MOFCOM.

If the PRC regulatory authorities take the view that the Jinong Acquisition constitutes a Round-trip Investment without MOFCOM approval, they could invalidate our acquisition and ownership of Jinong. Additionally, the PRC regulatory authorities may take the view that the Jinong Acquisition constitutes a transaction which requires the prior approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, before MOFCOM approval is obtained. We believe that if this takes place, we may be able to find a way to re-establish control of Jinong’s business operations through a series of contractual arrangements rather than an outright purchase of Jinong. We cannot assure you that such contractual arrangements will be protected by PRC law or that we can receive as complete or effective economic benefit and overall control of Jinong’s business than if the Company had direct ownership of Jinong. In addition, we cannot assure you that such contractual arrangements can be successfully effected under PRC law. If we cannot obtain MOFCOM or CSRC approval if required by the PRC regulatory authorities to do so, and if we cannot put in place or enforce relevant contractual arrangements as an alternative and equivalent means of control of Jinong, our corporate structure, in particular, the control asserted by the shareholders in the United States will be materially adversely affected.

Jinong’s contractual arrangements with Yuxing may result in adverse tax consequences to us.

We could face material and adverse tax consequences if the PRC tax authorities determine that Jinong’s contractual arrangements with Yuxing were not made on an arm’s length basis and adjust our income and expenses for PRC tax purposes in the form of a transfer pricing adjustment. A transfer pricing adjustment could result in a reduction, for PRC tax purposes, of adjustments recorded by Yuxing, which could adversely affect us by increasing Yuxing’s tax liability without reducing Jinong’s tax liability, which could further result in late payment fees and other penalties to Yuxing for underpaid taxes.

We control Yuxing through contractual arrangements which may not be as effective in providing control over Yuxing as direct ownership, and if Yuxing or its shareholders breach the contractual arrangements, we would have to rely on legal remedies under PRC law, which may not be available or effective, to enforce or protect our rights.

Effective June 16, 2013, we conduct substantially all of our operations on agriculture products, and generate substantially all of our revenues from agriculture products, through contractual arrangements with our VIE, Yuxing, that provide us, through our ownership of Green New Jersey and its ownership of Jinong, with effective control over Yuxing. We have no direct ownership interest in Yuxing. We depend on Yuxing to hold and maintain agriculture products contracts with our customers. Yuxing also owns substantially all of our property, facilities and other assets relating to the operation of our agriculture products business, and employs the personnel for substantially all of our agriculture products business. Neither our company nor Jinong has any ownership interest in Yuxing. Although we believe that that each contract under Jinong’s contractual arrangements with Yuxing is valid, binding and enforceable under current PRC laws and regulations in effect, these contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing us with control over Yuxing as direct ownership of Yuxing would be. In addition, Yuxing may breach the contractual arrangements. For example, Yuxing may decide not to make contractual payments to Jinong, and consequently to our company, in accordance with the existing contractual arrangements. In the event of any such breach, we would have to rely on legal remedies under PRC law. These remedies may not always be available or effective, particularly in light of uncertainties in the PRC legal system.

Yuxing may also seek to renew its agreements on terms that are disadvantageous to us. Although we have entered into a series of agreements that provide us with substantial ability to control Yuxing, we may not succeed in enforcing our rights under them insofar as our contractual rights and legal remedies under PRC law are inadequate. If we are unable to renew these agreements on favorable terms when these agreements expire or enter into similar agreements with other parties, our business may not be able to operate or expand, and our operating expenses may significantly increase.

In addition, although we do not rely on Yuxing’s revenue, Yuxing’s VIE structure is subject to uncertainty amid the PRC’s changing legislative practice. In January 2015, China’s Ministry of Commerce unveiled a draft legislation that could change how the government is regulating corporate structures, especially for VIEs controlled by foreign investments. Instead of looking at “ownership”, the draft law focused on the entities or individuals hold control of a VIE. If a VIE is deemed to be controlled by foreign investors, it may be barred from operating in restricted sectors or the prohibited sectors listed on a “negative list”, where only companies controlled by Chinese nationals could operate, even if structured as VIEs.

In the event that the draft law is implemented in any form, and that the Company’s business was characterized as one of the “restricted” or “prohibited” sectors, Yuxing may be barred from operation which will materially adversely affect our business.

PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses and the validity of certain of our contractual arrangements are uncertain. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. In addition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.

There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing our business, or the enforcement and performance of Yuxing’s contractual arrangements with Jinong. Jinong is considered a foreign invested enterprise under PRC law. As a result, Jinong is subject to PRC law limitations on its businesses and foreign ownership of Chinese companies. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance by foreign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.

The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licenses and requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a later time by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assure you that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may be subject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt our business operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The PRC environment laws and regulations may adversely impact on our business.

Our manufacturing operations are subject to numerous environment laws, ordinances and regulations. These laws, ordinances and regulations address and regulate, among other matters, wastewater discharge, air quality and the generation, handling, storage, treatment, disposal and transportation of solid and hazardous waste. It is possible that compliance with a new regulatory requirement could impose significant compliance costs on us. Such costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We believe that we have obtained all permits, licenses and approvals, and filed all registrations required for the conduct of our business, except where the failure to obtain such permit, license or approval, or file any registration would not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We have not been notified by any governmental authority of any continuing noncompliance, liability or other claim in connection with any of our properties or business operations, nor are we aware of any other material environmental condition with respect to any of our properties or arising out of our business operations at any other location.

However, No assurance can be given that all potential environmental liabilities have been identified or properly quantified or that any prior owner, operator, or tenant has not created an environmental condition unknown to us. Moreover, no assurance can be given that (i) future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability or (ii) the current environmental condition of the properties will not be affected by the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of the properties (such as the presence of underground storage tanks), or by third parties unrelated to us.

PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRC entities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds we received from any offerings to make loans to our PRC subsidiaries or to make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business. 

We are a holding company in the United States conducting our operations in China through our PRC subsidiaries. In utilizing the proceeds we received from any offerings, we may make loans to our PRC subsidiaries, whether currently in existence or to be formed in the future, or make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries.

Any loans we make to our PRC subsidiaries cannot exceed statutory limits and must be registered with SAFE, or its local counterparts. Under applicable PRC law, the government authorities must approve a foreign-invested enterprise’s registered capital amount, which represents the total amount of capital contributions made by the stockholders that have registered with the registration authorities. In addition, the authorities must also approve the foreign-invested enterprise’s total investment, which is equal to the company’s registered capital plus the amount of stockholder loans it is permitted to borrow under the law. The ratio of registered capital to total investment cannot be lower than the minimum statutory requirement. If we make loans to our operating subsidiaries in China that does not exceed its current maximum amount of borrowings, we will have to register each loan with SAFE or its local counterpart for the issuance of a registration certificate of foreign debts. In practice, it could be time-consuming to complete such SAFE registration process. Alternatively or concurrently with the loans, we might make capital contributions to our operating subsidiaries in China and such capital contributions involve uncertainties of their own. Further, SAFE promulgated a new circular (known as Circular 142) in August 2008 with respect to the administration of conversion of foreign exchange capital contributions of a foreign invested enterprise. The circular clarifies that RMB converted from foreign exchange capital contributions can only be used for the activities within the approved business scope of such foreign invested enterprise and cannot be used for domestic equity investments unless otherwise permitted.

While we do not foresee this to happen in the near future, with respect to future loans by us to our PRC subsidiaries or with respect to future capital contributions by us to our PRC subsidiaries, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the necessary government registrations or obtain the necessary government approvals on a timely basis, if at all, when the need arises. If circumstances call and if we fail to complete such registrations or obtain such approvals, our ability to use the proceeds we receive from this offering and to capitalize or otherwise fund our PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could adversely and materially affect our ability to fund and expand our business.

If we were deemed as a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (“2008 EIT Law”) in the PRC and our non-PRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.

Under the 2008 EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “de facto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on its global income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the 2008 EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. If we were to be considered a “resident enterprise” by the PRC tax authorities, our global income would be taxable under the 2008 EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we were to generate a substantial amount of income outside of PRC in the future, we would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our non-PRC enterprise shareholders and gains derived by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded as China-sourced income. In addition, the circular mentioned above details that certain Chinese-invested enterprises controlled by Chinese enterprises or Chinese group enterprises will be classified as “resident enterprises” if the following are located or resident in China: senior management personnel and departments that are responsible for daily production, operation and management; financial and personnel decision making bodies; key properties, accounting books, company seal, and minutes of board meetings and stockholders’ meetings; and half or more of the directors with voting rights or senior management. However, as of the date hereof, no final interpretation on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation is available. Moreover, any such designation, when made by PRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. As a result, we cannot determine the likelihood or consequences of our being designated a “resident enterprise” as of the date hereof.

If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a “resident enterprise,” we may be subject to enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide income and dividends paid by us to our non-PRC stockholders as well as capital gains recognized by them with respect to the sale of our stock may be subject to a PRC withholding tax. This will have an impact on our effective tax rate, a material adverse effect on our net income and results of operations, and may require us to withhold tax on our non-PRC stockholders.

Because our principal assets are located outside of the United States and because almost all of our directors and officers reside outside of the United States, it may be difficult for you to use the United States Federal securities laws to enforce your rights against us and our officers and most of our directors or to enforce judgments of United States courts against us or most of our directors and officers in the PRC.

Almost all of our present officers and directors reside outside of the United States. In addition, our operating subsidiaries are located in the PRC and substantially all of their assets are located outside of the United States. It may therefore be difficult for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights based on the civil liability provisions of the United States Federal securities laws against us and our officers and most of our directors in the courts of either the United States or the PRC and, even if civil judgments are obtained in courts of the United States, to enforce such judgments in PRC courts. It is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the United States and the PRC would permit effective enforcement against us or most of our directors and officers of criminal penalties, under the United States Federal securities laws or otherwise. In addition, enforcement of a foreign judgment in the PRC may be limited or otherwise affected by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, arrangement, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and will be subject to a statutory limitation of time within which proceedings may be brought.

Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences. 

We are required to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, are not subject to these prohibitions, and therefore may have a competitive advantage over us. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices may occur in the PRC. If our competitors engage in these practices they may receive preferential treatment, giving our competitors an advantage in securing business, which would put us at a disadvantage. We can make no assurance that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

We may have difficulty managing the risk associated with doing business in the Chinese fertilizer and agricultural products sectors.

In general, the fertilizer and agricultural products sectors in China is affected by a series of factors, including, but not limited to, natural, economic and social such as climate, market, technology, regulation, and globalization, which makes risk management difficult. Fertilizer and agricultural products operations in China face similar risks as present in other countries, however, in the PRC these can either be mitigated or exacerbated due to governmental intervention through policy promulgation and implementation either in the fertilizer and agricultural products or sectors which provide critical inputs to fertilizer and agricultural products such as energy or outputs such as transportation. While not an exhaustive list, the following factors could significantly affect our ability to do business:

·             production and crop progress due to adverse weather conditions, equipment deliveries, and water and irrigation conditions; and

Currently, we do not hold and do not intend to purchase insurance policies to protect revenue in the case that the above conditions cause losses of revenue.

Risks Related to an Investment in our Stock.

We have not paid any cash dividends and no cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and we may not have sufficient funds legally available to pay dividends.  Even if the funds are legally available for distribution, we may nevertheless decide not to pay, or may be unable to pay, any dividends.  We intend to retain all earnings for our company’s operations.

The market price for our common stock may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations, which may adversely affect the price at which you can sell our shares.  

The market price for our common stock may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:

·             announcements by us or our competitors of new products, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

In addition, the securities market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

We may require additional financing in the future and our operations could be curtailed if we are unable to obtain required additional financing when needed.

We may need to obtain additional equity or debt financing to fund future capital expenditures. Additional equity may result in dilution to the holders of our outstanding shares of capital stock. Additional debt financing may include conditions that would restrict our freedom to operate our business, such as conditions that: 

·             require us to dedicate a portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes; and

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain any additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all.

An SEC investor bulletin regarding reverse mergers may drive down the market price of our common stock.

On June 9, 2011, the SEC issued an investor bulletin in which it explained the process by which a company becomes a public company by means of a reverse merger, described the potential risks of investing in a reverse merger company and detailed recent enforcement actions taken by it against certain reverse merger companies. In particular the investor bulletin raised specific concerns with respect to foreign companies that access the U.S. markets through the reverse merger process, as we did. The SEC investor bulletin could lead investors in our common stock to sell their shares and may cause other investors not to invest in us, thus driving down the market price of our common stock or making it more difficult for us to raise funds in the future.

There is no private ownership of land in China.  All land is owned by the PRC government on behalf of all Chinese citizens or collectively owned by farmers.  Land use rights can be granted or transferred with or without consideration upon approval by the PRC State Land Administration Bureau or its authorized branches.

Our principal executive offices are located at 3rd floor, Borough A, Block A. No. 181, South Taibai Road, Xi’an, Shaanxi province, PRC 710065. The office space is approximately 360 square meters (3,875 square feet).  It is leased from Xi’an Kingtone Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“Kingtone Information”), for a term of two years from July 1, 2014 at monthly rent of RMB24,480 (approximately $4,000) for 612 square meters (approximately 6,588 square feet) of office space.

Through Jinong, we own an approximately 6,495 square meters (69,911 square feet) production facility that manufactures liquid fertilizer products and a 13,803 square meter (148,576 square feet) production facility that produces liquid and highly concentrated (powdered) fertilizers, located in the Yang Ling Agriculture High-tech Demonstration Zone, on No. 6 Guhua 5 Road, Yangling, Xi’an, Shaanxi province, PRC 712100.  The production facilities occupied approximately 30,947 square meters (333,111 square feet) of land, which contains office buildings, warehouses and research laboratories. The production lines have a total annual production capacity of 55,000 metric tons.  We own the land use rights for the land Jinong’s manufacturing facilities are situated for a term of 50 years from 2001.

Yuxing, Jinong’s wholly-owned subsidiary, has land use rights to over 353,000 square meters (3,799,660 square feet) of land located in Hu County, Xi’an, Shaanxi Province on which we have built 98 sunlight greenhouses and 6 intelligent greenhouses as part of a research and development center currently under construction. 

Through Gufeng and Tianjuyuan, we own an additional 17,930 square meters (approximately 192,997 square feet) of manufacturing, office and warehouse space and 47,110 square meters (approximately 507,088 square feet) of auxiliary facilities of the building located on approximately 42,726 square meters (459,898 square feet) of land located in No. 6 Mafang Logistics Park, Pinggu, Beijing.  In addition, the eight manufacturing facilities of Gufeng and Tianjuyuan collectively increased our total annual production capacity by another 500,000 metric tons.

Tianjuyuan leases approximately 47,333 square meters (509,488 square feet) of land in the Ping Gu District of Beijing.  Under the lease dated February 16, 2004 with the village committee of Dong Gao Village and Zhen Nan Zhang Dai Village in the Beijing Ping Gu District, Tianjuyuan leases the land at an annual rent of RMB 35,500 (approximately $5,591).  The lease term is from February 1, 2004 to January 31, 2054. However, according to our PRC counsel, such lease is invalid and unenforceable pursuant to the PRC Land Administration Law and related regulations.  Therefore, we are in the process of applying for the proper land use right certificate from the relevant government authority.  There can be no assurance such land use right certificate will be granted to us. 

The details on our properties and manufacturing facilities are described in the table below:

Please read “ Our subsidiaries are subject to restrictions on paying dividends and making other payments to our subsidiary, Green New Jersey; as a result, we might therefore, be unable to pay dividends to you. ” under Item 1A “Risk Factors” of this Report.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

On October 27, 2009, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). On December 11, 2009, our stockholders approved the Incentive Plan. The Incentive Plan gives us the ability to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock and other stock-based awards to our employees, consultants and to non-employee members of our advisory board or our Board or the board of directors of any of our subsidiaries. On September 28, 2012, October 25, 2013 and May 15, 2015, our Board approved the amendment to increase of three million shares of Common Stock reserved under the Incentive Plan each time. All three amendments were approved by our stockholders on the annual meeting held on December 15, 2012, December 22, 2013, and June 30, 2015, respectively. As a result, a total of 11.26 million shares of Common Stock have been reserved under the Incentive Plan.

As of June 30, 2015, options to purchase an aggregate of shares of Common Stock had been granted under the Incentive Plan. Options granted in the future under the Incentive Plan are within the discretion of our Board or our compensation committee, as delegated by the Board.

Overview

We are engaged in research, development, production and sale of various types of fertilizers and agricultural products in the PRC through our wholly-owned Chinese subsidiaries, Jinong and Gufeng (including Gufeng’s subsidiary Tianjuyuan), and our VIE, Yuxing. Our primary business is fertilizer products, specifically humic-acid based compound fertilizer produced by Jinong and compound fertilizer, blended fertilizer, organic compound fertilizer, slow-release fertilizer, highly-concentrated water-soluble fertilizer and mixed organic-inorganic compound fertilizer produced by Gufeng. In addition, through Yuxing, we develop and produce various agricultural products, such as top-grade fruits, vegetables, flowers and colored seedlings. For financial reporting purposes, our operations are organized into three business segments: fertilizer products (Jinong), fertilizer products (Gufeng) and agricultural products production (Yuxing).

The fertilizer business conducted by Jinong and Gufeng generated approximately 98.4%,98.4% and 98.4% of our total revenues for the years ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Yuxing serves as a research and development base for our fertilizer products.  Previously, Jintai had served in that capacity as well. However, as reported in our previous annual and quarterly reports, as a result of environmental degradation that harmed Jintai’s flora, we started to relocate Jintai’s facilities to Yuxing. As a result, Jintai has not been in operation since the ongoing relocation commenced in March 1, 2012 and for the year ended June 30, 2015, the relocation and dissolution process were completed.

Fertilizer Products

As of June 30, 2015, we had developed and produced a total of 459 different fertilizer products in use, of which 127 were developed and produced by Jinong and 332 by Gufeng.

Below is a table that shows the metric tons of fertilizer sold by Jinong and Gufeng and the revenue per ton for the periods indicated:

For the year ended June 30, 2015, we sold approximately 361,779 metric tons of fertilizer products, as compared to 316,450 metric tons for the year ended June 30, 2014. For the year ended June 30, 2015, Jinong sold approximately 74,351 metric tons of fertilizer products, as compared to 60,629 metric tons for the year ended June 30, 2014. This increase was mainly attributable to the greater sales of humic acid fertilizer products during this period as a result of the increased number of our distributors and our marketing efforts. For the year ended June 30, 2015, Gufeng sold approximately 287,428 metric tons of fertilizer products, as compared to 255,821 metric tons for the year ended June 30, 2014.  The increase was mainly due to the large amount sales to China National Agricultural Means of Production Group Corporation ("Sino-agri Group") during the last year compared with the same period last year.

Our sales of fertilizer products to five provinces accounted for approximately 53.1% of our fertilizer revenue for year ended June 30, 2015. Specifically, the provinces and their respective percentage contributed to our fertilizer revenues were: Beijing (26.2%), Shaanxi (10.7%), Hebei (5.8%), Guangdong (5.6%) and Heilongjiang (4.9%).

As of June 30, 2015, we had a total of 1,292 distributors covering 27 provinces, four autonomous regions and three central government-controlled municipalities in China. Jinong had 1,010 distributors in China. Jinong’s sales are not dependent on any single distributor or any group of distributors. Jinong’s top five distributors accounted for 1.5% of its fertilizer revenues for the year ended June 30, 2015. Gufeng had 282 distributors, including some large state-owned enterprises. Gufeng’s top five distributors accounted for 74.8% of its revenues for the year ended June 30, 2015.

Agricultural Products

Through Yuxing, we develop, produce and sell high-quality flowers, green vegetables and fruits to local marketplaces and various horticulture and planting companies. We also use certain of Yuxing’s greenhouse facilities to conduct research and development activities for our fertilizer products. The three PRC provinces that accounted for 92.8% of our agricultural products revenue for the year ended June 30, 2015 were Shaanxi (87.9%), Sichuan (2.6%), Gansu (2.3%).

Recent Developments

New Products

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, Jinong launched six new fertilizer products. Jinong’s new products generated approximately $552,384, or 1.7% of Jinong’s fertilizer revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Jinong also added 32 new distributors for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Jinong’s new distributors accounted for approximately $1,244,135, or 3.7% of Jinong’s fertilizer revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Jinong’s revenue attributable to the new products distributed by its new distributors was approximately $58,299, or 0.2% of Jinong’s fertilizer revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, Gufeng added 4 new distributors. Gufeng’s new distributors accounted for approximately $509,334, or 0.4% of Gufeng’s fertilizer revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Business Development

Cooperation with Sino-agri Group  

In October 2014, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries organized under the laws of the PRC, Gufeng and Jinong, both entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with Sino-agri Mining Resource Exploration Co., Ltd. ("Sino-agri"), a key subsidiary of Sino-agri Group.

Sino-agri Group is a nationwide large-scale enterprise group that integrates production, circulation and service as well as specializes in the agricultural means of production, such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, seeds, agricultural machinery & implements, etc. It is an enterprise with the corresponding level of the All China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives and an exclusively-invested enterprise of China CO-OP Group (http://www.chinacoop.coop/English/About%20China%20co-ops), which have the total assets of RMB30 billion, sales revenue of more than RMB72 billion, and the sales volume of more than 25 million tons for the agricultural materials. (For more information, please visit:   http://english.sino-agri.com/show.php?id=10 ).

The objective of the strategic cooperation agreement between Sino-argi and Gufeng is for Sino-argi and Gufeng to work together with sales goals in three years. Specifically, pursuant to the agreement, Sino-agri shall sell 150,000 metric tons of compound fertilizers produced by Gufeng ("Gufeng Fertilizers") during the calendar year 2015; 300,000-metric-ton Gufeng fertilizers during 2016 and 500,000-metric-ton Gufeng Fertilizers in 2017 to promote Gufeng's flagship products.

To accomplish the sales goals of the agreement, Sino-agri and Gufeng are committed to strengthen the production and marketing of Gufeng Fertilizers comprehensively. Specifically, Gufeng will team up with Sino-agri to secure raw materials supplies by leveraging Sino-agri's global access to related raw materials. With that, Gufeng will deliver Sino-agri customized Gufeng Fertilizers upon the orders from Sino-agri's heterogeneous customers. In the next three-year period, Gufeng will be able to tap needed financial credit facilities from Sino-agri to fill the Sino-agri orders. In addition to Gufeng Fertilizers, Gufeng is committed to offer product support for Sino-agri's clients which includes, but not limit to, soil testing, fertilizer comparison and testing, as well as fertilizer solutions. In parallel, Sino-agri will give priority to purchase Gufeng Fertilizer to replenish its compound fertilizer inventory.

Discussion of Segment Profitability Measures

As of June 30, 2015, we were engaged in the following businesses: the production and sale of fertilizers through Jinong and Gufeng and the production and sale of high-quality agricultural products by Yuxing. For financial reporting purpose, our operations were organized into three main business segments based on locations and products: Jinong (fertilizer production), Gufeng (fertilizer production) and Yuxing (agricultural products production). Each of the segments has its own annual budget with regard to development, production and sales. Jintai has not been in operation since the ongoing relocation commenced in March 1, 2012 and now the relocation and dissolution process were completed.

Each of the three operating segments referenced above has separate and distinct general ledgers. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) makes decisions with respect to resources allocation and performance assessment upon receiving financial information, including revenue, gross margin, operating income and net income produced from the various general ledger systems; however, net income by segment is the principal benchmark to measure profit or loss adopted by the CODM.

For Yuxing, the net income increased 608.4% by $645,313 to $751,372 for year ended June 30, 2015 from $106,059 for year ended June 30, 2014. The increase was mainly due to the increased price of Yuxing’s top grade flowers for the year of 2015, offset by the decrease in its general and administrative expenses is a result of Yuxing’s more cost-control measures taken for the year ended June 30, 2015.

On January 30, 2015, we paid $2,161,904 on dividend previously announced on October 1, 2014 to our stockholders of common stock on October 31, 2014, the record date. Certain stockholders, including the Company’s Chairman, Mr. Li, elected to waive the dividend payment and directed the Company to retain the funds for working capital purposes.

We intend to use some of the remaining net proceeds from the Public Offerings, as well as other working capital if required, to acquire new businesses, upgrade production lines and complete Yuxing’s new greenhouse facilities for agriculture products located on 88 acres of land in Hu County, 18 kilometers southeast of Xi’an city. Yuxing purchased a set of agricultural products test equipment for the year of 2015. We believe that we have sufficient cash on hand and positive projected cash flow from operations to support our business growth for the next twelve months to the extent we do not have further significant acquisitions or expansions. However, if events or circumstances occur and we do not meet our operating plan as expected, we may be required to seek additional capital and/or to reduce certain discretionary spending, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our business objectives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may seek additional financing as necessary for expansion purposes and when we believe market conditions are most advantageous, which may include additional debt and/or equity financings. 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.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Operating Activities

Net cash provided in operating activities was $67,534,917 for the year ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $50,922,565, or 306.5% from cash provided by operating activities of $16,612,352 for the year ended June 30, 2014. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase in net income, which was caused by the increased net sales, an increase in account receivable and taxes payable during the year ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended June 30, 2015 was $3,094,544, a decrease of $70,569,621, or 95.8% from cash used in investing activities of $73,664,165 for the year ended June 30, 2014. This decrease was due to the $6,595,134 other receivable. During the year ended June 30, 2015, Jinong assisted its distributors in marketing to expand its competitive product advantage and market share by advancing them $9,239,387 during the year ended June 30, 2015 compared to $72,061,705 during the year ended June 30, 2014.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided in financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2015 was $1,125,649, a decrease of $7,387,591 or 86.8% from cash provided by financing activities of $8,513,240 for the year ended June 30, 2014. During the year ended June 30, 2015, we received $21,844,890 from the proceeds from loans and repaid loans of $22,431,330 compared to $35,145,885 of proceeds and $27,282,645 repayments during the year ended June 30, 2014.  In addition, during the year ended June 30, 2015, we sold 1,362,495 shares of our common stock for proceeds of $2,946,746 to our employees under our employee stock purchase plan and received $626,847 from the sale of 326,483 shares of our common stock to our Chairman, Mr. Li.  In addition, we paid $2,161,904 cash dividend during the year ended June 30, 2015.

As of June 30, our loans payable were as follows:

Accounts Receivable

We had accounts receivable of $68,528,598 as of June 30, 2015, as compared to $88,781,608 as of June 30, 2014, a decrease of $20,253,010 or 22.8%. As of June 30, 2015, Gufeng had accounts receivable of $895,580, a decrease of $17,761,578, or 95.2%, comparing to $18,657,158 as of June 30, 2014. The decrease is mainly due to a number of large clients paid up their account payable to Gufeng during this year.

Allowance for doubtful accounts in account receivable for the year ended June 30, 2015 was $307,923, an increase of $70,329 or 29.6% from $237,594 as of June 30, 2014. And the allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of accounts receivable was 0.45% as of June 30, 2015 and 0.27% as of June 30, 2014.

Deferred assets

We had deferred assets of $51,527,209 as of June 30, 2015, as compared to $83,680,425 as of June 30, 2014. During the twelve months we assisted the distributors in certain marketing efforts and developing standard stores to expand our competitive advantage and market shares. Based on the distributor agreements, the amount owed by the distributors in certain marketing efforts and store development will be expensed over three years as long as the distributors are actively selling our products. If a distributor defaults, breaches, or terminates the agreement with us earlier than the contractual terms, the unamortized portion of the amount owed by the distributor is payable to us immediately. The Company’s Chairman and CEO, Mr. Li, provided credit backup guarantee toward potential losses to the Company of any amounts due from distributors in this matter.

Inventories

We had inventories of $101,302,947 as of June 30, 2015, as compared to $75,486,898 as of June 30, 2014, an increase of $25,816,049, or 34.2%. The principal reason for the increase is attributed to Gufeng’s inventory. As of June 30, 2015, Gufeng’s inventory was $82,342,457 as a result of the acquisition of raw materials at lower prices for the expected production and accumulation of finished fertilizer products in expecting a huge demand in the near future. These products are expected to be sold and shipped during the coming year.

Advances to Suppliers

We had advances to suppliers of $40,910,837 as of June 30, 2015 as compared to $32,630,865 as of June 30, 2014, representing an increase of $8,279,972 or 25.4% due to the large acquisition of raw material this year. To ensure our ability to deliver compound fertilizer to the distributor timely prior to the planting season, we need to have sufficient raw material in stock to stabilize the production. To build up the inventory, we typically make advance payment to the suppliers to secure the supply of raw material of basic fertilizer. Our inventory level may fluctuate from time to time, depending how fast the raw material gets consumed and replenished during the production process, and how fast the finished goods get sold. The replenishment of raw material relies on the management’s estimate of numerous factors, including but not limited to, the raw material’s future price, and spot price along with their volatility, as well as the seasonal demand and future price of finished fertilizer products. Such estimate may not be accurate, and the purchase decision of raw materials based on the estimate can cause excessive inventories in slow sales and insufficient inventories in peak times.

Accounts Payable

We had accounts payable of $2,372,130 as of June 30, 2015 as compared to $3,378,248 as of June 30, 2014, representing a decrease of $1,006,118, or 29.8%. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in Jinong’s account payable from $1,127,962 as of June 30, 2014 to $541,098 as of June 30, 2015, and the decrease in account payable was result from the different timing of payments to vendors.

Unearned Revenue

We had unearned revenue of $19,129,853 as of June 30, 2015 as compared to $25,700,586 as of June 30, 2014, representing a decrease of $6,570,733, or 25.6%. The decrease was mainly attributable to Gufeng’s $18,811,820 unearned revenue as of June 30, 2015, compared to $25,503,430 unearned revenue during the same period last year, caused by the advancement deposits made by client. We expect to deliver products to our customers during the next three months at which time we will recognize the revenue.

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, we have no other significant obligations and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.

Our 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, we consider 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

Our 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 of Jinong and Gufeng that is outstanding for more than 180 days will be accounted as allowance for bad debts, and any accounts receivable of Yuxing that is outstanding for more than 90 days will be accounted as allowance for bad debts.

Assets held for sale

Assets held for sale represent certain equipment from our Jintai facility that has been relocated. The carrying amount of the assets held for sale equals the fair value of the assets less disposal costs. These assets were sold prior to June 30, 2015.

Deferred assets

Deferred assets represent amounts the Company advanced to the distributors in their marketing and stores development to expand our competitive advantage and market shares. Based on the distributor agreements, the amount owed by the distributors in certain marketing efforts and store development will be expensed over three years as long as the distributors are actively selling our products. If a distributor defaults, breaches, or terminates the agreement with us earlier than the realization of the contractual terms, the unamortized portion of the amount owed by the distributor has to be refunded to us immediately. The Company’s Chairman and CEO, Mr. Li, provided credit backup guarantee toward potential losses to the Company of any amounts due from distributors in this matter.

Segment reporting

FASB ASC 280 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.

As of June 30, 2015, we were organized into three main business segments: Jinong (fertilizer production), Gufeng (fertilizer production) and Yuxing (agricultural products production).

Disclosures About Market Risk

We may be exposed to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of business. Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur as a result of movements in interest rates and equity prices. We currently do not use financial instruments in the normal course of business that are subject to changes in financial market conditions.

Currency Fluctuations and Foreign Currency Risk

Substantially all of our revenues and expenses are denominated in RMB. However, we use the U.S. dollar for financial reporting purposes. Conversion of RMB into foreign currencies is regulated by the People’s Bank of China through a unified floating exchange rate system. Although the PRC government has stated its intention to support the value of RMB, there can be no assurance that such exchange rate will not again become volatile or that RMB will not devalue significantly against the U.S. dollar. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect the value, in U.S. dollar terms, of our net assets and income derived from our operations in the PRC.

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Except for the U.S. holding companies, all of our consolidated revenues, consolidated costs and expenses, and our assets are denominated in RMB. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB. If the RMB depreciates against the U.S. dollar, the value of our RMB revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. dollar financial statements will decline. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and shareholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any resulting translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but are included in determining other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity. As of June 30, 2015, our accumulated other comprehensive income was $25.6 million. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk. The value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions.. In August 2015, China’s currency dropped by a cumulative 4.4% against the U.S. dollar on hopes of boosting the domestic economy, making Chinese exports cheaper and imports into China more expensive by that amount. The effect on trade can be substantial. Moreover, it is possible that in the future, the PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the Renminbi exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.

Interest Rate Risk

We deposit surplus funds with Chinese banks earning daily interest. We do not invest in any instruments for trading purposes. All of our outstanding debt instruments carry fixed rates of interests. The amount of short-term debt outstanding as of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 was $23.6 million and $24.0 million, respectively. We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily with respect to our short-term bank loans. Although the interest rates, which are based on the banks’ prime rates with respect to our short-term loans are fixed for the terms of the loans, the terms are typically three to twelve months for short-term bank loans and interest rates are subject to change upon renewal. There were no material changes in interest rates for short-term bank loans renewed during the three months ended June 30, 2015. The original loan term on average is one year, and the remaining average life of the short term-loans is nine months.  

Management monitors the banks’ prime rates in conjunction with our cash requirements to determine the appropriate level of debt balances relative to other sources of funds. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to interest rate risk.

Credit Risk

We have not experienced significant credit risk, as most of our customers are long-term customers with superior payment records. Our receivables are monitored regularly by our credit managers.

Inflation Risk

Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our product and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.

Balance sheets, as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, and statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, together with the related notes and the reports of independent registered public accounting firms, are set forth on the “F” pages of this report.

None.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the conclusion of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and adequately designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allowed for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility that a control can be circumvented or overridden and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected in a timely manner. Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. In addition, the design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Therefore, any current evaluation of controls cannot and should not be projected to future periods.

Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of the year ended June 30, 2015. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) (2013) in the report entitled "Internal Control-Integrated Framework." The 2013 COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring.

Based on management’s assessment using the 2013 COSO criteria, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2015 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We are not required to have our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2015 audited by our auditors because we are a smaller reporting company.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

None.

The members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Jianlei Shen, Lianfu Liu and Ms. Yiru Shi, each of whom is an independent director within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE and Rule 10A-3 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In addition, the Board has determined that Ms. Shi qualifies as an Audit Committee Financial Expert under applicable SEC Rules. The Chairman of the Audit Committee is Mr. Shi. The Audit Committee held four meetings during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. The Audit Committee carries out its responsibilities in accordance with the terms of its Audit Committee Charter, a copy of which was attached as Annex A to our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for our 2010 Annual Meeting, filed with the SEC on October 28, 2010, and is also available on our website at www.cgagri.com.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee determines matters pertaining to the compensation of executive officers and other significant employees, and administers our stock and incentive plans. The members of the Compensation Committee are Messrs. Jianlei Shen, Lianfu Liu and Ms. Yiru Shi. The Chairman of the Compensation Committee is Ms. Shen. The Compensation Committee held one meeting during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. Each of the members of the Compensation Committee is a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, and an “outside director” within the meaning of Section 162(m) under the Internal Revenue Code. The Compensation Committee carries out its responsibilities pursuant to a written charter, a copy of which was attached as Annex C to our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for our 2009 annual meeting, filed with the SEC on October 28, 2009, and is also available on our website at www.cgagri.com.

Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee identifies and nominates candidates to serve on our Board. The members of the Nominating Committee are Messrs. Jianlei Shen, Lianfu Liu and Ms. Yiru Shi. The Chairman of the Nominating Committee is Mr. Liu. The Nominating Committee held one meeting during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. A copy of our Nominating Committee Charter was attached as Annex B to our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for our 2010 annual meeting, filed with the SEC on October 28, 2010, and is also available on our website at www.cgagri.com. See “Director Nominations” below for the procedures for the nomination of directors.

Board Leadership Structure and Board’s Role in the Oversight of Risk Management

Our Board believes it is important to select our Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer in the manner it considers in the best interests of our company at any given point in time. Due to Mr. Li’s substantial experience in the industry, our Board has determined that the most effective leadership structure for our company is for Mr. Li to serve as both our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Our Board benefits from the Chairman having direct knowledge of the operations of, and opportunities and challenges facing, our business on a regular and company-wide basis. Mr. Li’s combined role as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer fosters greater communication between the Board and management and provides unified leadership for carrying out our company’s strategic initiatives and business plans.

To counterbalance the potential for ineffective Board oversight, we have adopted a governance structure that includes: (i) a designated lead independent director; (ii) annual elections of directors by a majority of votes cast at the annual meeting of shareholders; (iii) committees composed entirely of independent directors; and (iv) established corporate governance and ethics guidelines. Our Board appointed Ms. Yiru Shi to serve as the Board’s lead independent director. The lead independent director acts as an intermediary between the Board and senior management. Among other things, the lead independent director is responsible for facilitating communication among directors and between the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, working with the Chief Executive Officer to provide an appropriate information flow to the Board, and chairing executive sessions of the independent directors. Executive sessions of our independent directors occur following regularly scheduled quarterly audit committee meetings, and at such other times as the independent directors deem appropriate. However, the Board recognizes that circumstances may change over time and as they do, changes to the leadership structure may be warranted.

The Board has an active role, directly and through its committees, in the oversight of our risk management efforts. The Board carries out this oversight role through several levels of review. The Board regularly reviews and discusses with members of management information regarding the management of risks inherent in the operations of our businesses and the implementation of our strategic plan, including our risk mitigation efforts.

In accordance with corporate governance standards of the NYSE, the Audit Committee charter assigns to that committee the responsibility to review our policies and practices with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including major financial risk exposures, and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. Additionally, each of the Board’s committees also oversees the management of our risks that are under each committee’s areas of responsibility. For example, the Audit Committee oversees management of accounting, auditing, external reporting, internal controls, and cash investment risks. The Nominating Committee oversees our compliance policies, Code of Conduct, conflicts of interests, director independence and corporate governance policies. The Compensation Committee oversees risks arising from compensation practices and policies. In this manner the Board is able to coordinate its risk oversight.

Director Nominations

The Nominating Committee recommends director candidates and will consider for such recommendation director candidates proposed by management, other directors and stockholders. All director candidates will be evaluated based on the criteria identified below, regardless of the identity of the individual or the entity or person who proposed the director candidate.

The selection of director nominees includes consideration of factors deemed appropriate by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board. We may engage a firm to assist in identifying, evaluating, and conducting due diligence on potential board nominees. Factors will include integrity, achievements, judgment, intelligence, personal character, any prior contact or relationship between a candidate and a current or former director or officer of our company, the interplay of the candidate’s relevant experience with the experience of other Board members, the willingness of the candidate to devote adequate time to Board duties and the likelihood that he or she will be willing and able to serve on the Board for a sustained period. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider the candidate’s independence, as defined by the rules of the SEC and the NYSE. In connection with the selection, due consideration will be given to the Board’s overall balance of diversity of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. Experience, knowledge, and skills to be represented on the Board include, among other considerations, financial expertise (including an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the SEC’s rules), financing experience, related industry experience, strategic planning, business development, and community leadership.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

This section contains a discussion of the material elements of compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our principal executive officer, our principal financial officer, and our other executive officers whose total compensation exceeded $100,000 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. Accordingly, our “Named Executive Officers” are Mr. Tao Li, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Ken Ren, our Chief Financial Officer.

Our Board established the Compensation Committee to assist with the analysis and determination of the compensation structure for our executive officers. Our Compensation Committee, consisting of three independent directors, reviews and approves, or in some cases recommends for the approval of the full Board, the annual compensation for our executive officers. Typically, management recommends to the Compensation Committee compensation package proposals based on prevailing compensation standards in our industry, which in turn reviews and approves such proposals. Our Compensation Committee may consult with the executive officers to form consensus on such packages. Our executive officers may discuss any disagreements and needed amendment to such proposals with our Compensation Committee before such proposals are finalized and approved by the Compensation Committee.

Compensation Objectives

Our compensation objectives are as follows:

Elements of Compensation

Base Salary

Our approach is to pay our executives a base salary that is competitive with those of other executive officers in similar positions and with similar responsibilities in our peer group of competitive companies. We believe that a competitive base salary is a necessary element of any compensation program that is designed to attract and retain talented and experienced executives. We also believe that attractive base salaries can motivate and reward executives for their overall performance.

Stock-Based Awards under the Equity Incentive Plan

In addition to base salary, the other key component of executive compensation we provide to our Named Executive Officers is equity-based compensation. In October 2009, our Board adopted our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which was approved by our shareholders at our annual shareholders meeting in December 2009 and amended in December 2012, December 2013 and June 2015. The Plan gives us the ability to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock and other stock-based awards to employees or consultants of our company or of any subsidiary of our company and to non-employee members of our advisory board or our Board or the board of directors of any of our subsidiaries. The Board and the Compensation Committee believe the ability to grant restricted stock, stock options and make other stock-based awards under the Plan is an important factor in attracting, stimulating and retaining qualified and distinguished personnel with proven ability and vision to serve as employees, officers, consultants or members of the Board or advisory board of our company and our subsidiaries, and to chart our course towards continued growth and financial success.

During the year ended June 30, 2014, effective September 28, 2013, the Compensation Committee granted (i) 480,000 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Tao Li, the Company’s CEO; (ii) 200,000 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Ken Ren, the CFO, (iii) 40,000 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Yizhao Zhang, 30,000 shares of restricted stock to Ms. Yiru Shi, and 20,000 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Lianfu Liu, each is an independent director of the Company; and (iv) 980,000 shares of restricted stock to 420 employees (the “Stock Grants”). The Stock Grants are subject to time-based vesting schedules, vesting in various installments until March 31, 2014 for the CFO and the three independent directors, until March 31, 2015 for the CEO and until December 31, 2015 for the employees.

On September 30, 2014, the Company granted an aggregate of 1,750,000 shares of restricted stock under the Plan to certain executive officers, directors and employees, among which (i) 240,000 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Tao Li, the CEO; (ii) 100,000 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Ken Ren, the CFO, (iii) 40,000 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Yizhao Zhang, 30,000 shares of restricted stock to Ms. Yiru Shi, and 20,000 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Lianfu Liu, each an independent director of the Company; and (iv) 1,320,000 shares of restricted stock to key employees. The stock grants are subject to time-based vesting schedules, vesting in various installments until March 31, 2015 for the CFO and the three independent directors, until June 30, 2015 for the CEO and until December 31, 2016 for the employees.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On August 9, 2012 the Board adopted the Company’s 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which became effective as of such date. The Board adopted the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Restated ESPP”) on May 15, 2015. The Restated ESPP reserved a total of 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock, including 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock that was increased the third time. Shareholder approval is not required with respect to the issuance under the ESPP pursuant to Sections 303A.08 or 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manuel. The ESPP has been delegated to be administered by the Compensation Committee since October 19, 2012. Any employee of the Company or any parent (if any) and subsidiary corporation of the Company (the “Affiliate”), who is not a natural person resident in the United States, who has been in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate for such continuous period as required by the Board preceding the grant of rights under the ESPP is eligible to participate in the ESPP during the applicable offering period, subject to administrative rules established by the Compensation Committee.

The ESPP is implemented by sequential offerings, the commencement and duration of which are determined by the Compensation Committee. The purchase price at which each share of Common Stock may be acquired in an offering period upon the exercise of all or any portion of a purchase right are established by the Compensation Committee. However, the purchase price on each purchase date shall not be less than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the purchase date.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the Company firstly issued 118,778 shares of common stock at the market price of $4.42 per share to Mr. Tao Li ($525,000 in total), the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer under the ESPP on September 26,2013. The Company then issued 533,165 shares of common stock at the market price of $2.35 per share to certain employees enrolled in the ESPP ($1,252,938 in total) on May 26, 2014. During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company issued 1,362,495 shares of common stock to its employees under the ESPP for cash of $2,946,746 and the Company issued 326,483 shares of common stock to its Chairman, Mr. Li, for cash proceeds of $626,847 under the ESPP.

Retirement or Pension Benefits

Currently, we do not provide any company sponsored retirement benefits to any employee, including the Named Executive Officers.

Deferred Compensation

We do not have any qualified or nonqualified deferred compensation plans.

Perquisites

Historically, we have provided our Named Executive Officers with minimal perquisites and other personal benefits that we believe are reasonable. We do not view perquisites as a significant component of compensation, but do believe they can be useful in attracting, motivating and retaining the executive talent for which we compete. We believe that these additional benefits assist our Named Executive Officers in performing their duties and provide time efficiencies for them. It is expected that our historical practices regarding perquisites will continue and will be subject to periodic review by our Board.

Summary Compensation Table— Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013

The following table sets forth information concerning cash and non-cash compensation we and/or Jinong paid to our principal executive officer and our other most highly paid executive officer (the “named executive officers”) for services rendered in all capacities during the noted periods. No other executive officers received total annual salary and bonus compensation in excess of $100,000 during each of the three fiscal years ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013.
