FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

              The discussions of the business and activities of SkyPeople Fruit Juice, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or “the Company”) set forth in this Form 10-Q and in other past and future reports and announcements by the Company may contain forward-looking statements and assumptions regarding future activities and results of operations of the Company.  You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things, (a) our projected sales, profitability, and cash flows, (b) our growth strategies, (c) anticipated trends in our industry, (d) our future financing plans and (e) our anticipated needs for working capital. They are generally identifiable by use of the words "may," "will," "should," "anticipate," "estimate," "plans," “potential," "projects," "continuing," "ongoing," "expects," "management believes," "we believe," "we intend" or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. These statements may be found under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as in this Form 10-Q generally. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products or product approvals, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, and financial results.
 
Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report may turn out to be inaccurate. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks or uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual future results may vary materially as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the risks outlined under "Risk Factors" and matters described in the Form S-1 recently filed by the Company. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this filing will in fact occur. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events, changed circumstances, or the occurrence of unanticipated events.

SKYPEOPLE FRUIT JUICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.  
CORPORATE INFORMATION

SkyPeople Fruit Juice, Inc.

SkyPeople Fruit Juice, Inc. ("SkyPeople" or the "Company"), formerly Entech Environment Technology, Inc. (“Entech”), was formed in June 1998 under the laws of the State of Florida. From July 2007 until February 26, 2008, our operations consisted solely of identifying and completing a business combination with an operating company and compliance with our reporting obligations under federal securities laws.

Between February 22, 2008 and February 25, 2008, we entered into a series of transactions whereby we acquired 100% of the ownership interest in Pacific Industry Holding Group Co., Ltd. (“Pacific”) from a share exchange transaction and raised $3,400,000 gross proceeds from certain accredited investors in a private placement transaction. As a result of the consummation of these transactions, Pacific is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Pacific was incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Vanuatu on November 30, 2006. Pacific’s only business is acting as a holding company for Shaanxi Tianren Organic Food Co., Ltd. (“Shaanxi Tianren”), a company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), in which Pacific holds a 99% ownership interest.

This share exchange transaction resulted in Pacific obtaining a majority voting and control interest in the Company. Generally accepted accounting principles require that the company whose stockholders retain the majority controlling interest in a combined business be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes, resulting in a reverse acquisition with Pacific as the accounting acquirer and SkyPeople as the acquired party. Accordingly, the share exchange transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of Pacific. The equity sections of the accompanying financial statements have been restated to reflect the recapitalization due to the reverse acquisition as of the first day of the first period presented. All references to Common Stock of Pacific Common Stock have been restated to reflect the equivalent numbers of SkyPeople equivalent shares.

On May 23, 2008, we amended the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and changed our name to SkyPeople Fruit Juice, Inc. to better reflect our business. A 1-for-328.72898 reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and a mandatory 22.006 for 1 conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock, which had been approved by written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting stock, also became effective on May 23, 2008.
 
Shaanxi Tianren Organic Food Co., Ltd.

Shaanxi Tianren was formed on August 8, 2001 under PRC law. Currently, Shaanxi Tianren is engaged in the business of research and development, production and sales of special concentrated fruit juices, fast-frozen and freeze-dried fruits and vegetables and fruit juice drinks.

On May 27, 2006, Shaanxi Tianren purchased 91.15% of the ownership interest of Xi’an Tianren Modern Organic Co., Ltd. (“Xi’an Tianren”) for a purchase price in the amount of RMB 36,460,000, or approximately U.S. $5,114,050. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method, and the financial statements of Shaanxi Tianren and Xi’an Tianren have been consolidated on the purchase date and forward.

On June 10, 2008, Shaanxi Tianren completed the acquisition of Huludao Wonder Fruit Co., Ltd. (“Huludao”) for a total purchase price of RMB 48,250,000, or approximately U.S. $6,807,472. The payment was made through the offset of related party receivables from Shaanxi Hede Investment Management Co., Ltd. (“Hede”). Before the acquisition, Huludao had been a variable interest entity of Shaanxi Tianren for accounting purposes according to FASB Interpretation No. 46: Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB 51 (“FIN 46”), since June 1, 2007, and the financial statements of Shaanxi Tianren and Huludao have been consolidated as of June 1, 2007 and forward.

              The Company’s current structure is set forth in the diagram below:

Organizational Chart
 
2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial Statements
 
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for SkyPeople have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All significant inter-company balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Due to the seasonal nature of our business and other factors, interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

Certain prior year balances on the Balance Sheet have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The reclassification had no impact on net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SkyPeople, Pacific, Shaanxi Tianren, Xi’an Tianren, and the newly acquired Huludao. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The pooling method (entity under common control) is applied to the consolidation of Pacific with Shaanxi Tianren and Shaanxi Tianren with Huludao. The reverse merger accounting is applied to the consolidation of SkyPeople with Pacific.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits held by banks. Deposits held in financial institutions in the PRC are not insured by any government entity or agency.

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technological or other industrial changes. The determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is made by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets.

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. During the reporting periods there was no impairment loss.
-6-
Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per Common Stock (“EPS”) are calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of Common Stock outstanding during the period.  Our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is a participating security. Consequently, the two-class method of income allocation is used in determining net income available to common stockholders.

Diluted EPS is calculated by using the treasury stock method, assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options and warrants. Under this method, (i) exercise of options and warrants is assumed at the beginning of the period and shares of Common Stock are assumed to be issued, (ii) the proceeds from exercise are assumed to be used to purchase Common Stock at the average market price during the period, and (iii) the incremental shares (the difference between the number of shares assumed issued and the number of shares assumed purchased) are included in the denominator of the diluted EPS computation. The numerators and denominators used in the computations of basic and diluted EPS are presented in the following table:

              Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling amounts billed to customers in related sales transactions are included in sales revenues. The shipping and handling expenses of $408,095 and $223,116 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, are reported in the Consolidated Statement of Income as a component of selling expenses.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Accumulated other comprehensive income represents foreign currency translation adjustments.

Accounts Receivable

During the normal course of business, we extend unsecured credit to our customers.  Accounts receivable and other receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amount. Allowance is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Management reviews and adjusts this allowance periodically based on historical experience, the current economic climate, as well as its evaluation of the collectability of outstanding accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.  Based on the information available to management, the Company believed that its allowance for doubtful accounts was adequate as of June 30, 2008. The Company evaluates the credit risks of its customers utilizing historical data and estimates of future performance.
 
Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of raw materials and packaging (which include ingredients and supplies) and finished goods (which includes finished juice in our bottling and canning operations). Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. We determine cost on the basis of the average cost or first-in, first-out methods.

Intangible Assets

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”), effective January 1, 2002. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently, if indications of possible impairment exist. The Company has no indefinite lived intangible assets.
-7-

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on the sales of its products as earned when the customer takes delivery of the product according to previously agreed upon pricing and delivery arrangements, and when the Company believes that collectability is reasonably assured. The Company sells primarily perishable and frozen food products. As such, any right of return is only for a few days and has been determined to be insignificant by management. Accordingly, no provision has been made for returnable goods.

Advertising and Promotional Expense

Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred $162 and $2,092 in advertising and promotional costs for the period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States’ Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated; maintenance and repairs that do not extend the life of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in income. Depreciation related to property and equipment used in production is reported in cost of sales. Property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives as follows:

 
Buildings
20-30 years
Machinery and equipment
10 years
Furniture and office equipment

Net property and equipment
   $ 20,615,419     $ 17,564,147  

Depreciation expense included in general and administration expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $364,267 and $30,098, respectively. Depreciation expense included in cost of sales for the period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $498,624 and $384,841, respectively.

Long-term assets of the Company are reviewed annually to assess whether the carrying value has become impaired according to the guidelines established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. No impairment of assets was recorded in the periods reported.

Foreign Currency and Comprehensive Income

The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. The functional currency is the renminbi (“RMB”) of the PRC. The financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, and weighted average exchange rates for revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

On July 21, 2005, the PRC changed its foreign currency exchange policy from a fixed RMB/USD exchange rate into a flexible rate under the control of the PRC’s government. We use the closing rate method in currency translation of the financial statements of the Company.

The RMB is not freely convertible into the currency of other nations. All such exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. There is no guarantee the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at rates used in translation.
-8-

Taxes

Income tax expense is based on reported income before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between assets and liabilities that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.109, Accounting for Income Taxes, these deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws.

The Company has implemented SFAS No.109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which provides for a liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes result from the effect of transactions that are recognized in different periods for financial and tax reporting purposes. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of FIN 48.
 
Restrictions on Transfer of Assets Out of the PRC

Dividend payments by Shaanxi Tianren and its subsidiaries are limited by certain statutory regulations in the PRC. No dividends may be paid by Shaanxi Tianren without first receiving prior approval from the Foreign Currency Exchange Management Bureau. Dividend payments are restricted to 85% of profits, after tax.
 
Minority Interest in Subsidiary

Minority interest represents the minority stockholders’ proportionate share of 1% of the equity of Shaanxi Tianren and 8.85% of the equity of Xi’an Tianren.

Accounting Treatment of the February 26, 2008 Private Placement

The shares held in escrow as Make Good Escrow Shares will not be accounted for on our books until such shares are released from escrow pursuant to the terms of the Make Good Escrow Agreement. During the time such Make Good Escrow Shares are held in escrow, they will be accounted for as contingently issuable shares in determining the diluted EPS denominator in accordance with SFAS 128.

Liquidated damages potentially payable by the Company under the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement will be accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board Staff Position EITF 00-19-2. Estimated damages at the time of closing will be recorded as a liability and deducted from additional paid-in capital as costs of issuance. Estimated damages determined later pursuant to the criteria for SFAS 5 will be recorded as a liability and deducted from operating income.

Research and Development

Shaanxi Tianren has established a research and development institution with nearly 30 research and development personnel as of June 30, 2008. Shaanxi Tianren also from time to time retains external experts and research institutions. The research and development expenses were $23,625 and $39,142 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In February 2008, FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, which provides for a one-year deferral of the effective date of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, for non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.  The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard as it relates to the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the SEC published Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 110, which amends SAB No. 107 by extending the usage of a “simplified” method, as discussed in SAB No. 107, in developing an estimate of expected term of “plain vanilla” share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. In particular, the SEC indicated in SAB 107 that it will accept a company’s election to use the simplified method, regardless of whether the company has sufficient information to make more refined estimates of expected term. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this EITF will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.
-9-

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations, (“SFAS No. 141(R)”), and SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS No. 160”). These new standards are the U.S. GAAP outcome of a joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 introduce significant changes in the accounting for and reporting of business acquisitions and noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary. SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 continue the movement toward the greater use of fair values in financial reporting and increased transparency through expanded disclosures. SFAS No. 141(R) changes how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements at the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. SFAS No. 160 requires noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) to be reported as a component of equity, which changes the accounting for transactions with noncontrolling interest holders. SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 are effective for our fiscal 2009. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

3.            SHARE EXCHANGE AND PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING

Between February 22, 2008 and February 25, 2008, we entered into a series of transactions whereby we acquired 100% of the ownership interest in Pacific from the shareholders of Pacific in a share exchange transaction and raised $3,400,000 gross proceeds from certain accredited investors in a private placement transaction. These transactions, collectively hereinafter referred to as “Reverse Merger Transactions,” were consummated simultaneously on February 26, 2008, and as a result of the consummation of these transactions Pacific is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The following sets forth the material agreements that the Company entered into in connection with the Reverse Merger Transactions and the material terms of these agreements:

Share Exchange Agreement

On February 22, 2008, the Company and Terrence Leong, the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer, entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Pacific and all of the shareholders of Pacific (the “Share Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the shareholders of Pacific agreed to exchange 100 ordinary shares of Pacific, representing a 100% ownership interest in Pacific, for 1,000,000 shares of a newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Share Exchange” or the “Share Exchange Transaction”).

Stock Purchase Agreement

In connection with the Share Exchange Transaction, on February 26, 2008, the Company entered into a Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 2,833,333 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Series B Stock”) and warrants to purchase 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Warrants”) to the investors, in exchange for a cash payment in the amount of $3,400,000. Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company also deposited 2,000,000 shares of the Series B Stock into an escrow account held by an escrow agent as Make Good Shares in the event the Company’s consolidated pre-tax income and pre-tax income per share, on a fully-diluted basis, for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 or 2009 are less than certain pre-determined target numbers.

On May 23, 2008, we amended the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and changed its name to SkyPeople Fruit Juice, Inc. to better reflect our business. A 1-for-328.72898 reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and a mandatory 22.006 for 1 conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock, which had been approved by written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting stock, also became effective on May 23, 2008.

4.  
     CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

In connection with the Share Exchange Transaction, we designated 1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock out of our total authorized number of 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. Upon effectiveness of the 1-for-328.72898 reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on May 23, 2008, all the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock were immediately and automatically converted into shares of Common Stock without any notice or action required by us or by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock (the “Mandatory Conversion”). In the Mandatory Conversion, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock received twenty two and 62/10,000 (22.0062) shares of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock for every one (1) share of Series A held (the “Conversion Rate”).

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

In connection with the Share Exchange Transaction, we designated 7,000,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock out of our total authorized number of 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is a participating security. No dividends are payable with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock and no dividends can be paid on our Common Stock while the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding. Upon liquidation the holders are entitled to receive $1.20 per share (out of available assets) before any distribution or payment can be made to the holders of any junior securities.

Upon effectiveness of the Reverse Split on May 23, 2008, each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into one share of Common Stock at the option of the holder. If the conversion price (initially $1.20) is adjusted, the conversion ratio will likewise be adjusted and the new conversion ratio will be determined by multiplying the conversion ratio in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which is the conversion price in effect before the adjustment and the denominator of which is the new conversion price.

-10-
5.  
     WARRANTS

In connection with the Share Exchange Transaction, on February 26, 2008, the Company entered into a Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 2,833,333 shares of a newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Series B Stock”) and warrants to purchase 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Warrants”) to the Investors, in exchange for a cash payment in the amount of $3,400,000.

The Warrants became exercisable after the consummation of a 1-for-328.72898 reverse split of our outstanding Common Stock, which was effective on May 23, 2008, and the 7,000,000 shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrants were not adjusted as a result of such reverse split.
 
6.  
     NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

On February 26, 2008, the Company issued to Barron Partners an aggregate of 615,147 shares of Series B Stock in exchange for the cancellation of all principal and accrued interest aggregating approximately $5,055,418 on certain promissory notes of the Company held by Barron.

On February 22, 2008, the Company issued to Grover Moss an aggregate of 59,060 shares of Common Stock (post split) in exchange for the conversion of principal aggregating $398,000.

7.  
ACCQUISITION OF A BUSINESS

On June 10, 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of Huludao for a total purchase price of RMB 48,250,000 or approximately U.S. $6,807,472. The payment was made through the offset of related party receivables from Shaanxi Hede Investment Management Co. Ltd. (“Hede”). Before the acquisition, Huludao was classified as a variable entity of Shaanxi Tianren according to FASB Interpretation No. 46: Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“V.I.E.”), an interpretation of ARB 51 (“FIN 46”), since June 2, 2007. FIN 46R requires the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity to consolidate its financial results with the variable interest entity.  The Company had evaluated its relationship with Huludao and had concluded that Huludao was a variable interest entity for accounting purposes.

Yongke Xue, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, owns 80% of the equity interest of Hede, and Xiaoqin Yan, a director of Shaanxi Tianren, owns the remaining 20% of Hede. Hede leased to Shaanxi Tianren all of the assets and facilities of Huludao under a Lease Agreement dated June 2, 2007 between Hede and Shaanxi Tianren. The lease was for a term of one year from July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008. The monthly rent under the lease is RMB 300,000 (approximately $42,326). In 2007, Shaanxi Tianren loaned to Hede an aggregate of RMB 27 million (approximately $3,809,363) interest-free loan pursuant to a Loan Agreement entered into by the parties on June 5, 2007. The loan was made to enable Hede to purchase Huludao. The loan was due on August 1, 2008. On the date of the purchase, the outstanding loan was deducted from the purchase price according to the Loan Agreement.

The contractual agreement with Hede was in effect on June 1, 2007. As a result of the contractual arrangements, Shaanxi Tianren became the primary beneficiary of Huludao. Accordingly, Shaanxi Tianren adopted the provisions of FIN 46R and consolidated the financial results of Huludao from June 1, 2007.

The Company used the purchase method to consolidate Huludao with the current assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The fair value of the acquired net assets of Huludao was RMB 48,250,000 (approximately $6,807,472).

The following table summarizes the fair value of Huludao Wonder Fruit Co., Ltd.’s assets and liabilities as of June 1, 2007 (based on the exchange rate of June 1, 2007):

9.           INCOME TAX
 
Prior to 2007, the Company was subject to a 33% income tax rate by the PRC. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of FIN 48. Shaanxi Tianren was awarded the status of a nationally recognized High and New Technology Enterprise in December 2006, which entitled Shaanxi Tianren to tax-free treatment for two years starting from 2007, and thereafter reduced income taxes at 50% of its regular income tax rate then effective from 2009 to 2010. In December 2007, Xi’an was awarded the same status and the tax rate was reduced from 33% to 25%, effective from January 2008.

10.         LAND USAGE RIGHTS

According to the laws of the PRC, the government owns all of the land in the PRC. Companies or individuals are authorized to possess and use the land only through land use rights granted by the PRC government.  Accordingly, the Company paid in advance for land use rights. Prepaid land use rights are being amortized and recorded as lease expenses using the straight-line method over the use terms of the lease which is 20 to 50 years. The land usage rights as of June 30, 2008 were $6,465,964 and $6,138,297 as of December 31, 2007. The amortization expense was $68,726 and $36,026 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

11.        AMOUNTS DUE FROM (TO) RELATED PARTIES

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had no outstanding loans to related entities with common owners and directors. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, Pacific erroneously paid $4,916,617 to its former shareholders, the Company’s director Xiaoqing Yan and its CEO, Yongke Xue as the result of a dividend declaration by Pacific in February 2008 (See Note 14). Because the recipients of the money were no longer shareholders of Pacific, the transaction has been treated for accounting purposes as an interest free loan.  In June 2008, the directors and other related parties returned the monies they received (along with amount loaned to related parties prior to January 1, 2008) in cash in the amount of $5,411,560. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company made an interest free loan of $2,179,954 to Hede and the total $6,807,472 interest free loans made to Hede by the Company (including amounts loaned to Hede prior to January 1, 2008) were credited against the purchase price that the Company paid for Huludao on June 10, 2008. The Company also paid off approximately $147,751 of its loans payable to related parties in the six months ended June 30, 2008. The indebtedness of the Company to related entities with common owners and directors as of December 31, 2007 totaled $4,970,427 as follows. The loans are unsecured and bear no interest. These loans have no fixed payment terms.

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had 22,271,684 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and 3,448,480 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. (2,000,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock deposited in the escrow account are not included.), Assuming all five year warrants to purchase 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $3.00 per share are exercised and all shares of Series B Preferred Stock are converted, the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued and outstanding will be 32,720,164.

 
In the first quarter of 2008, the Company issued 31,941 shares of Common Stock as part of the settlement with its prior Chief Executive Officer, Burr D. Northrop, 37,098 shares of Common Stock to Walker Street Associates and its prior director, Joseph I. Emas, for the professional services that they provided and 59,060 shares of Common Stock to Grover Moss for the conversion of principal under the obligation of $398,000 with the Company.
 

On February 26, 2008, the Company issued to Barron Partners an aggregate of 615,147 shares of Series B Stock in exchange for the cancellation of all principal and accrued interest aggregating approximately $5,055,418 on certain promissory notes of the Company held by Barron Partners.

The Company also agreed to issue 2,833,333 shares of a newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share and warrants to purchase 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Upon effectiveness of the 1-for-328.72898 reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on May 23, 2008 (the “Reverse Split”), all the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock were immediately and automatically converted into 22,006,173 shares of Common Stock. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible at any time into one share of Common Stock at the option of the holder. The Warrants are exercisable after the Reverse Split. The 2,833,333 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and 7,000,000 shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrants were not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Split.

13.         NOTE PAYABLE

14.  
DIVIDEND PAYMENT

On February 4, 2008, before the Share Exchange Transaction, the Board of Directors of Xi’an Tianren declared a cash dividend of $2,869,732 to its former shareholders. Since Shaanxi Tianren holds a 91.15% interest in Xi’an Tianren, $2,615,760 was paid to Shaanxi Tianren and $253,971 was paid to its minority interest holders. On the same date, the Board of Directors of Shaanxi Tianren declared a cash dividend of $4,914,691 to its shareholders. Since Pacific holds a 99% interest in Shaanxi Tianren, $4,865,544 was paid to Pacific and $49,147 was paid to its minority interest holders. The inter-company dividend was eliminated in the consolidated statement. The dividend paid to minority interest holders was $306,300.

In May 2008, Pacific erroneously paid monies to its former shareholders as the result of a dividend declaration in February 2008.  The monies were then returned to the Company in June 2008 (See Note 11).

ITEM 2.                      MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes in Item I above and with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes, and with the information under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” in our most recent registration statement on Form S-1.

Overview

We are engaged in the business of research and development, production and sales of special concentrated fruit juices, fast-frozen and freeze-dried fruits and vegetables and fruit juice drinks through our indirect subsidiary, Shaanxi Tianren, in the PRC. Shaanxi Tianren is wholly owned by Pacific. Previously, we were a shell company with no significant business operations. As a result of the consummation of a reverse merger transaction, on February 26, 2008 we ceased to be a shell company and became an indirect holding company for Shaanxi Tianren through Pacific. Pacific acquired a 99% ownership interest in Shaanxi Tianren in September 2007 through a reorganization between entities under common control. Because Shaanxi Tianren’s operations are the only significant operations of the Company and its affiliates, the business and financial results of Pacific reflect those of Shaanxi Tianren. As a result, this discussion and analysis focuses on the business results of Shaanxi Tianren, comparing its results in the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2008 with its results in the corresponding period of 2007.

Below is the Company’s corporate structure:

 
-15-
There are two general categories of fruit and vegetable juices available on the market. One is fresh juice canned directly after filtering and sterilization upon being freshly squeezed out of fresh fruits or vegetables. The other general category is juice drinks made out of concentrated fruit and vegetable juices. Concentrated fruit and vegetable juices are produced through the pressing, filtering, sterilization and evaporation of fresh fruits or vegetables. They are used as the base material or ingredient for products such as drinks, fruit jam, fruit wine and other products. Concentrated juices are not drinkable. Instead, they are used as a basic ingredient for manufacturing juice drinks and as an additive to fruit wine, fruit jam, cosmetics and medicines.

For Shaanxi Tianren, the period between each July through February or March is “squeeze” season, when fresh fruits are available in the market and concentrated fruit juices are produced out of fresh fruits. We produce and sell both concentrated fruit juices and juice drinks. Compared to juice drinks, our concentrated juice products generally achieve a higher gross margin, while that of juice drinks is lower. Therefore, our core products are concentrated apple, pear and kiwifruit juices and our production has strategically been focused on concentrated juice products. Shaanxi Tianren also produces juice drinks and other derivative products, especially when not in squeeze season. The Company’s wide range of product offerings and its ability to shift focus among products based on supply and demand in the market and seasonal factors help to diversify operational risks and supplement revenue generation.

Shaanxi Tianren’s main products include concentrated apple juice, concentrated pear juice, concentrated kiwifruit puree, fruit juice drinks, fresh fruits and organic fresh fruits. Raw materials mainly consist of apple, pear and kiwifruits which are procured in the PRC market. Shaanxi Tianren’s pear and kiwifruit supply mainly sources from its home province, Shaanxi Province, which is known for its pear and kiwifruit production. Shaanxi Tianren’s kiwifruit processing facilities are located in Zhouzhi County, Shaanxi Province, where 70% of the country’s kiwifruit are grown. Shaanxi Tianren’s apple supply mainly sources from Liaoning Province, where its newly acquired facility Huludao is located. The Company is committed to continual research and development in new products and technologies. In June 2008, Shaanxi Tianren began the production of concentrated peach juice in its Jingyang Branch Office.  It uses low-temperature pulp breaking technology and low-temperature concentration technology to produce concentrated white peach pulp, optimizing the production parameters. The production of peach juice helped the diversification of our products and prolonged the squeeze season. Because of the seasonal nature in the growing and harvesting of fruits and vegetables, business is seasonal and can be greatly affected by weather.
 
To take advantage of economies of scale and to enhance our production efficiency, each of Shaanxi Tianren’s manufacturing facilities has a focus on juice products centering around one particular fruit according to the proximity of such manufacturing to the supply center of that fruit. All concentrated juice products are manufactured using the same type of production line with slight variations in processing methods. Since June 2007, after leasing the production facilities of Huludao, Shaanxi Tianren has been operating its pear juice products business out of the Jingyang Branch Office. The business involving apple juice products operates out of the newly acquired facility, Huludao, and the business involving kiwifruit products is run out of Xi’an Tianren Modern Organic Agriculture Co., Ltd. (“Xi’an Tianren”), in which we have held a 91.15% ownership interest since May 2006.
 
On June 2, 2007, Shaanxi Tianren entered into a lease agreement with Shaanxi Hede Investment Management Co., Ltd. (“Hede”), pursuant to which Shaanxi Tianren, for a term of one year and for a monthly lease payment of RMB 300,000 (approximately $42,326), leased all the assets and operating facilities of Huludao, which was wholly-owned by Hede. On June 10, 2008, Shaanxi Tianren completed the acquisition of Huludao for a total purchase price of RMB 48,250,000 or approximately U.S. $6,807,472. The payment was made through the offset of related party receivables.

Besides concentrated juice products, we generate other revenue from sales of pear juice, apple juice, kiwifruit seeds, organic kiwifruit, fresh kiwifruit, kiwifruit juice, mulberry juice, and apple spice.
 
The supply of our raw material fruits has traditionally been fragmented, as we generally purchase directly from farmers. In addition, because the prices of raw material fruits change from season to season based on the output of the farms, the Company does not have long-term supply agreements with suppliers. To secure fruit supply and lower transportation costs, processing facilities are strategically located near the various centers of fruit supply.
 
Shaanxi Tianren is permitted by the relevant governmental authorities to directly export its products. More than 70% of its products are exported either through distributors with good credit or to end-users directly. Shaanxi Tianren’s distributors are generally domestic export companies. Although distribution agreements with distributors are generally renewed on a yearly basis, the Company maintains long-term relationships with its distributors. Shaanxi Tianren’s main export markets are the U.S., Europe, Russia, and the Middle East.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2008 Highlights

·  
Total revenue increased 107.9% to $7,245,967 for the second quarter of fiscal 2008, compared with revenue of $3,485,726 for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, as the result of an increase in sales of concentrated kiwifruit juice, kiwifruit puree and kiwifruit seeds and the consolidation of Huludao’s operating results since June 1, 2007.

·  
During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, Shaanxi Tianren commenced construction on the expansion of its
research and development center. This project covers an area of 2,000 square meters and will encompass additional space required for the research and development laboratories. The Company also started a technology innovation and expansion project over its original industrial waste water processing facility located in the factory of Jingyang County in Shaanxi Province.  This 600 square meter industrial waste water processing facility will increase the capacity of waste water processing and recycling from the current 100 cubes per day to 300 cubes per day.   In addition, Xi’an Tianren began construction on an industrial waste water processing facility in the factory of Zhouzhi County in Shaanxi Province.  Xi’an Tianren previously leased a waste water processing facility with an annual fee of approximately $11,600.  This 1,118 square meter industrial waste water processing facility remains on schedule and once completed will process 1,200 cubes of waste water per day, which will meet the increasing production demand of Xi’an Tianren and will improve the use of recycled waste water.

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $7,245,967, an increase of $3,760,241, or 107.9%, when compared to the same sales period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to Shaanxi Tianren’s consolidation of Huludao’s operating results since June 1, 2007. In June 2007, Shaanxi Tianren entered into a lease agreement with Hede, pursuant to which Shaanxi Tianren, for a term of one year and for a monthly lease payment of RMB 300,000 (approximately $42,326), leased all the assets and operating facilities of Huludao, which is wholly owned by Hede. This lease arrangement resulted in the combination of Huludao’s operating results with those of Shaanxi Tianren. Huludao specializes in the production of clear apple juice. It is located in Liaoning Province in China, which is famous for the excellent quality of its apples. In the second quarter of 2008, it generated revenue of $1,895,798 from the sale of concentrated apple juice and apple aroma. On June 10, 2008, we completed the acquisition of Huludao for a total purchase price of RMB 48,250,000, or approximately U.S. $6,807,472.

Squeezing season for kiwifruit is from September of each year to January of the next year. Generally, we do not produce or sell concentrated kiwifruit juice or kiwifruit puree during the non-squeeze season. However, during the second quarter of 2008, Xi’an Tianren continued to sell concentrated kiwifruit juice and puree and kiwifruit seeds which is a byproduct of kiwifruit juice puree. As a result, we saw an increase in net sales of kiwifruit related products in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The net sales in concentrated pear juice and fruit beverage also increased by 14.3% and 8.8%, respectively, as compared to the same quarter of last year.

Net sales for the six months ended June, 2008 were $16,096,551, an increase of $7,373,639, or 84.5%, when compared to the same sales period of the prior year primarily due to Shaanxi Tianren’s consolidation of Huludao’s operating results beginning June 1, 2007.  In the six months ended June 30, 2008, it generated revenue of $4,286,059 from the sale of apple related products. Sales from pear related products soared in the six months ended June 30, 2008 as a result of increased consumer demand in both China and internationally. Sales from kiwifruit related products increased by $1,224,288 as a result of continued sales of concentrated kiwifruit juice and puree and kiwifruit seeds in the first two quarters of fiscal year 2008. There was no revenue generated from the sale of concentrated kiwifruit juice and puree and kiwifruit seeds in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007.

Overall gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased by 16.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, from 34.6% to 40.3%, compared to the same period of fiscal 2007. In terms of dollar amount, gross margin in the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $2,916,597, an increase of $1,712,135, or 142.1 %, compared to $1,204,462 in the same period of fiscal 2007, primarily due to a huge increase in sales.
 
The increase in gross margin as a percentage of revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was primarily due to an increase in the production of kiwifruit related products, which have a higher gross margin compared with our other products. In the second quarter of fiscal 2007 we did not produce or sell concentrated kiwifruit juice or kiwifruit puree during the non-squeeze season. However, in the same period of 2008, Xi’an Tianren continued to sell concentrated kiwifruit juice and puree and kiwifruit seeds. The cost incurred in the production of kiwifruit seeds was absorbed completely by the production of kiwifruit puree. We separate and remove the kiwifruit seeds when we produce kiwifruit puree through our advanced technology, so kiwifruit seeds are the byproduct of kiwifruit puree during production. As a result, the gross margin of kiwifruit related products is higher than our other products. In addition, we saw a recovery in the price of apple and pear juice in the second quarter of 2008 when compared with the first quarter of the same year.

Overall gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased by 25.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, from 39.6% to 29.7%, compared to the same period of fiscal 2007. Gross margin in the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $4,776,215, an increase of $1,323,988, or 38.4 %, compared to $3,452,227 for the same period of fiscal 2007.

The decrease in gross profit margin as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily due to a decrease in gross margin in the sales of concentrated apple and pear juice. In the first two quarters, particularly the first quarter of 2008, the average selling price of apple and pear juice decreased compared with the same period of fiscal 2007, which resulted in a lower gross margin for our products in fiscal 2008.

The gross profit margin of our fruit beverages increased by 9.4% and 24.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2007. This increase was primarily due to the change in our product mix. We sold more concentrated fruit beverages in the first two quarters of 2008, which have a higher margin, as the result of a change in market demand in the Chinese market.

The following table presents consolidated operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively:

Our operating expenses consist of general and administrative and selling expenses. Operating expenses increased by 230.8% to $710,578 and by 210.4% to 1,526,114 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, from $214,779 and $491,627 for the corresponding periods in fiscal 2007, respectively. The increase in operating expenses was substantially attributable to the consolidation of Huludao’s operating results with those of Shaanxi Tianren since June 1, 2007 and forward.

General and administrative expenses increased by $312,067, or 217.9%, to $455,278 and by $777,053, or 307.8%, to $1,029,469 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, from $143,211 and $252,416 for the same periods of fiscal 2007, respectively.  Huludao had a large amount of general and administrative expenses which contributed to the substantial increase of Shaanxi Tianren’s operating expenses as a result of the operating combination. The depreciation and amortization expense of Shaanxi Tianren, which was a non-cash expense, also increased by approximately $366,869 in the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period of last year due to an increase in fixed assets. The other contributing factor was a hike in payroll and related expenses in Shaanxi Tianren to handle the rise in sales volume. Additionally, the legal and audit expenses increased by approximately $124,905 and $188,416 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior year, which was primarily associated with the early stage set up of becoming a public company.

The selling expense increased by $183,732, or 256.7%, to $255,300 and by $257,434, or 107.6%, to $496,645 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, from $71,568 and $239,211 for the same period of fiscal year 2007, respectively. This was mainly due to an increase in freight and transportation expenses as a result of the increase in sales.

Income from Operations

In the second quarter of fiscal 2008, income from operations increased by $1,216,336, or 122.9%, to $2,206,019 from $989,683 for the second quarter of fiscal 2007. As a percentage of net sales, income from operations was approximately 30.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2008, an increase of 7.2% as compared to 28.4% for the same quarter of fiscal 2007. The increase in income from operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was primarily due to an increase in sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, which was offset by an increase in operating expenses.

In the six months ended June 30, 2008, income from operations increased by $289,501, or 9.8%, to $3,250,101 from $2,960,600 for the corresponding period in 2007. As a percentage of net sales, income from operations was approximately 20.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of 40.5% as compared to 33.9% for the corresponding period in fiscal 2007. The decrease in the percentage of net sales was due to a decrease in gross margin and an increase in operating expenses, as previously discussed.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $386,075 and $445,103 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, an increase of $386,075 and $445,103, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2007, primarily due to an increase in term loan facilities in fiscal year 2008 to support expansion plans and potential business opportunities.

Other Income

Other income increased by $142,923 to $142,102 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, from other expenses of $821 in the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to an increase in bad debt recovery of $58,948 and rental income of $39,998, which consisted mainly of freeze storage in Shaanxi Tianren rented to outside vendors.

Other income increased by $374,557 to $332,280 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from other expenses of $42,277 for the same period of the prior year, primarily due to an increase in bad debt recovery of $298,334 and rental income of $39,998, as previously discussed.

Income Tax

Our provision for income taxes was $180,678 and $311,198 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, compared to $83,505 and $456,983 for the corresponding periods in 2007, respectively. The increase in tax provision for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was primarily due to an increase in income generated from Xi’an Tianren.

Shaanxi Tianren was awarded the status of a nationally recognized High and New Technology Enterprise in December 2006, which entitled Shaanxi Tianren to tax-free treatment for two years starting from 2007 and thereafter reduced income taxes at 50% of its regular income tax rate then effective from 2009 to 2010. In December 2007, Xi’an was awarded the same status and the tax rate was reduced from 33% to 25%, effective from January 2008. As a result, the income tax provision decreased by $145,785, or 31.9%, in the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same period of fiscal 2007.

We adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”) on July 1, 2007 and had no material adjustment to its liabilities to unrecognized income tax benefits since its adoption.

Minority Interest

As of June 30, 2008, Shaanxi Tianren held a 91.15% interest in Xi’an Tianren, and Pacific held a 99% percent interest in Shaanxi Tianren. Minority interest in net income of subsidiaries was $134,948 and $182,783 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, an increase of $123,559 and $93,059, respectively, compared to a minority interest in the net income of $11,389 and $89,724 for the corresponding period of fiscal 2007, respectively.  The increase in the minority interest was mainly attributable to the increase in the net income generated from Shaanxi Tianren, which was primarily due to an increase in sales, as previously discussed.

Net Income
 
Net income was $1,663,221 and $2,715,040 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, an increase of $764,337, or 85.0%, and $335,925, or 14.1%, compared to the corresponding periods of 2007, respectively. Such an increase was primarily due to an increase in sales, as previously discussed.


Financial Condition

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, total assets increased $413,380 or 0.9%, from $46,610,128 at December 31, 2007 to $47,023,508 at June 30, 2008.  The majority of the increase was in cash, prepaid expenses, property plant and equipment, construction in progress and other assets, but offset by a decrease in accounts receivable, inventory, and related party receivables.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, cash and cash equivalents increased $5,047,084, or 123.3%, to $9,141,322, as compared to $4,094,238 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.  The increase in cash was mainly due to net gross proceeds of $3,115,072 received from certain accredited investors in a private placement transaction on February 26, 2008 and an increase of $7,373,639 in net revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2008.

At June 30, 2008, the accounts receivable balance decreased by $4,332,242 from the balance at December 31, 2007 due primarily to an improvement in accounts receivable collections in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.  The accounts receivable turnover was 79 days for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared with 88 days for the fiscal year 2007. The decrease in the accounts receivable turnover was due primarily to improvement in collections in Shaanxi Tianren.

Our inventory as of June 30, 2008 was $1,801,539, reflecting a decrease of $2,658,610 or 59.6%, compared to the balance at December 31, 2007. Inventory consists of raw materials, merchandise on hand, low-value consumables and packaging materials and finished products. The decrease in inventory was mainly from the increase in sales in kiwifruit related products in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 which was mainly produced in fiscal 2007 and January of fiscal 2008. As the second quarter is our non-squeezing season for kiwifruit related products, there was no production in Xi’an Tianren.

Prepaid expenses and other current assets at June 30, 2008 were $1,473,440, an increase of $1,371,812 from those balances at December 31, 2007. The increase in prepaid expenses was primarily due to an increase of $971,728 in prepaid raw material of fresh fruits. Our squeezing season begins each July through February or March of the next year. To ensure that we have enough fresh fruits for our production needs, we usually pay 30% to 50% of the estimated purchase amount to suppliers before the start of squeezing season.

Property, plant and equipment increased by $451,806 from $17,564,147 at December 31, 2007 to $18,015,953 at June 30, 2008. Construction in progress was $2,599,466 at June 30, 2008. Total capital expenditures were approximately $2,702,172 in the six months ended June 30, 2008.  During fiscal 2008, Shaanxi Tianren commenced construction on the expansion of its research and development center. This project covers an area of 2,000 square meters and will encompass additional space required for the research and development laboratories. The expansion is currently in progress on the existing site of the factory in Jingyang County, Shaanxi Province. Related to this project, we have capitalized, as construction in progress, $1,166,334 during the six months ended June 30, 2008. This research and development center is expected to be complete by the end of fiscal 2009. The Company also started a technology innovation and expansion project over its original industrial waste water processing facility located in the factory of Jingyang County in Shaanxi Province.  This 600 square meter industrial waste water processing facility will increase the capacity of waste water processing and recycling from the current 100 cubes per day to 300 cubes per day.  We capitalized $801,854 as construction in progress during the six months ended June 30, 2008. This project is expected to be operational by the middle of fiscal 2009. In addition, Xi’an Tianren began construction on an industrial waste water processing facility in the factory of Zhouzhi County in Shaanxi Province.  Xi’an Tianren previously leased a waste water processing facility with an annual fee of approximately $11,600.  This 1,118 square meter industrial waste water processing facility remains on schedule and once completed will process 1,200 cubes of waste water per day, which will meet the increasing production demand of Xi’an Tianren and will improve the use of recycled waste water.  We have capitalized $631,278 as construction in progress during the six months ended June 30, 2008. This project is expected to be operational by the middle of fiscal 2009.

Depreciation and amortization were $931,617 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared with $450,965 for the same period of fiscal 2007.  The increase in depreciation expenses was due mainly to an increase in property, plant and equipment acquired after June 30, 2007.

The related party receivables of $4,970,427 as of December 31, 2007 were fully collected as of June 30, 2008. The related party receivables as of December 31, 2007 consisted primarily of two interest-free loans in the aggregate amount of approximately $3,936,376 that we advanced to Hede in June and July 2007 for Hede to acquire Huludao. On June 10, 2008, Shaanxi Tianren completed the acquisition of Huludao for a total purchase price of RMB 48,250,000, or approximately U.S. $6,807,472. The outstanding amount of the loan at the time of the acquisition was deducted from the purchase price.

-20-
Other assets were $2,657,930 at June 30, 2008, an increase of $2,586,112 from that balance at December 31, 2007. The increase in other assets was due primarily due to a down payment of $2,116,313 for the acquisition of Yingkou Trusty Fruits Co., Ltd. (“Yingkou”).  On June 1, 2008, Shaanxi Tianren entered into a memorandum agreement with Xi’an Dehao Investment Consultation Co. Ltd. (“Dehao”).  Under the term of the agreement, Dehao agreed to transfer 100% of the ownership interest of Yingkou Trusty Fruits Co., Ltd. (“Yingkou”) to Shaanxi Tianren. Shaanxi Tianren is required to make a down payment of RMB 15,000,000, or approximately $2,116,313, to Dehao as a deposit for the purchase. The acquisition is targeted to be completed at the end of August after the third party market value evaluation. In addition, we made a down payment of $364,479 to a construction company for the remolding service that they will provide for our newly leased office in Shaanxi Tianren.

In the first quarter of 2008, the Company entered a new loan agreement with a local bank in China to support expansion plans and potential business opportunities. The term loan facility was RMB 15,000,000, or approximately $2,186,876, with a fixed interest rate of 0.79%. The loan has a term of two years from the date of draw down. The principal of RMB 10,000,000 ($1,457,917) is due on July 10, 2009, and the balance of RMB 5,000,000 ($728,959) is due on September 20, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $6,114,240 to $8,427,406 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $2,313,166 in the same period of fiscal 2007.  The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to (i) an increase of $335,925 in net income from $2,379,115 to $2,715,040 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period of the prior year, (ii) an increase of $573,711 of adjusting non-cash items, and (iii) an increase of $8,078,081 in cash inflow from change in accounts receivables, inventory and tax payables. Offsetting the increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily a cash outflow from change in prepaid expenses and accounts payable.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $6,534,418 to $6,867,975 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $333,557 for the same period of fiscal 2007.  The increase in cash used in investing activities was mainly due to $2,116,313 in deposits paid to Dehao for the acquisition of Yingkou, an increase of $6,799,284 in loans advanced to related parties, an increase of $364,479 prepayment for the lease improvement and an increase of $2,665,902 in the capital expenditures in cash as previously discussed. Offsetting this increase in cash used in investing activities was an increase of $5,411,560 in the repayment of loans from related parties.

Net cash provided by financing activities in the first two quarters of fiscal 2008 was $3,112,501, representing an increase of $4,581,775 compared to the net cash used in financing activities of $1,469,274 during the same period of fiscal 2007.  The increase was mainly due to stock sales proceedings of $3,115,072 received from certain accredited investors in a private placement transaction on February 26, 2008.

We believe that we currently have sufficient cash on hand, combined with anticipated cash receipts, to fund our business for at least the next 12 months.
 
ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Not applicable
 
ITEM 4T.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
An evaluation was carried out by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of June 30, 2008, the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q.  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in alerting them in a timely manner to information relating to the Company, required to be disclosed in this report.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, Pacific erroneously paid monies to its former shareholders as the result of a dividend declaration in February 2008.  The monies were then returned to the Company.  Because the recipients of the money were no longer shareholders of Pacific, the transaction has been treated for accounting purposes as an interest free loan.   The Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002 makes it unlawful for any public company, directly or indirectly, to extend credit, maintain credit or arrange for the extension of credit in the form of a personal loan to or for the benefit of any director or executive officer. Therefore, the failure of the Company to prevent the loan may be considered a material weakness in its internal controls. The Company and its Audit Committee are taking steps to remedy this material weakness. Other than with respect to the identification of this material weakness, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2008, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  There is no assurance that our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting can prevent all errors.  An internal control system, no matter how well designed and operated, has inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error may occur and not be detected.  We monitor our disclosure controls and internal controls and make modifications as necessary.  Our intent in this regard is that our disclosure controls and our internal controls will improve as systems change and conditions warrant.
