General information |
Green Planet Bioengineering Co., Ltd, (the “Company”), formerly known as Mondo Acquisition II, Inc, was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 30, 2006.
On October 24, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with the shareholders of Elevated Throne Overseas Ltd. (“Elevated Throne”) to acquire their issued and outstanding common stocks in Elevated Throne by issuing 14,141,667 shares of its common stock. The acquisition, which was consummated on the same day, constituted
a reverse takeover transaction (“RTO”) and thereafter Elevated Throne became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Elevated Throne was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (the “BVI”) on May 8, 2008 as a limited liability company with registered share capital of $50,000, divided into 50,000 common shares of $1 par value each. Elevated Throne formed Fujian Green Planet Bioengineering Co., Ltd. (“Fujian Green Planet”)
as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on July 25, 2008. Fujian Green Planet has a registered capital of $2,000,000. Pursuant to Fujian Green Planet’s articles of association, Elevated Throne is required to contribute $300,000 to Fujian Green Planet as capital (representing 15% of Fujian Green Planet’s registered capital) before October 17, 2008. Elevated Throne has applied for an extension of the contribution
period to December 31, 2009 with the relevant government bureau and contributed $300,000 to Fujian Green Planet as capital on September 7, 2009.
PRC law places certain restrictions on roundtrip investments through the acquisition of a PRC entity by PRC residents. To comply with these restrictions, in conjunction with the RTO, the Company, via Fujian Green Planet, entered into and consummated certain contractual arrangements with Sanming Huajian Bio-Engineering Co.,
Ltd (“Sanming Huajian”) and their respective stockholders pursuant to which the Company provides Sanming Huajian with technology consulting and management services and appoints its senior executives and approves all matters requiring shareholders’ approval. As a result of these contractual arrangements, which obligates Fujian Green Planet to absorb a majority of the risk of loss from the activities of Sanming Huajian and enables Fujian Green Planet to receive a majority of its expected
residual returns, the Company accounts for Sanming Huajian as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under FASB Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (the “VIE Arrangement”).
Sanming Huajian was organized under the laws of the PRC on April 16, 2004 under the name of Sanming Zhonjian Biological Technology Industry Co., Ltd as a domestic corporation. It is classified as a non-joint capital stock corporation and therefore the capital stock, consistent with most of the PRC corporations, are not divided
into a specific number of shares having a stated nominal amount. Sanming Huajian is owned by Mr. Zhao Min, Ms. Zheng Minyan and Jiangle Jianlong Mineral Industry Co., Ltd with equity interest of 35%, 36% and 29% respectively. Mr. Zhao and Ms. Zheng collectively own more than 90% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the RTO.
The reverse takeover accounting was used to account for the RTO and the VIE Arrangement as Sanming Huajian was under common control of Mr. Zhao and Ms. Zheng before and after the VIE Arrangement. These financial statements, issued under the name of the Company, represent the continuation of the financial statements of Sanming
Huajian.

General information (Cont’d) |
Following the RTO and the VIE Arrangement, the Company is primarily engaged in the manufacture, marketing and sale of extracts from tobacco leaves residues. The Company’s products include Solanesol, Nicotine Sulphate, organic pesticides, organic fertilizers, CoQ10 (raw format) and a patented organic health supplement called
“Paiqianshu”. Paiqianshu comes in both liquid and pill forms and it is made from natural green barley shoot extraction. The Company operates manufacturing and distribution primarily in the PRC.
On June 17, 2009, the Company entered into a Preferred Share Purchase Agreement with ONE Holdings Corp. (“ONE”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and ONE agreed to acquire 5,101 shares of the Company’s preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”), with par value $0.001 per share. Each share of the Preferred
Stock shall (a) provide ONE with the right to vote 1,000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders and (b) be convertible into 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. ONE paid to the Company for the said shares of Preferred Stock $5,000,000 which was paid by ONE through the issuance to the Company 5,024,038 shares, representing 4.7% of ONE’s issued and outstanding common stock. The transaction closed on July 22, 2009 upon receipt of all required documents
and stock certificates.
As part of the transaction, the Company has also agreed that 35% of the ONE’s shares issued to the Company shall be deposited into an escrow and in the event the Company’s EBITDA for fiscal year 2009 is less than the Company’s EBITDA for fiscal 2008, the number of shares of ONE’s stock issued to the Company shall
be proportionately reduced as provided for in the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company is also subject to a lockup and leak out period and has one Piggy-Back Registration right as further defined in the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont’d) |
Use of estimates
In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. These estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the valuation of trade receivables, inventories, fair value of available-for-sale securities, deferred taxes and stock-based compensation, and the estimation on useful lives and realizability of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value Measurements
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) released ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (formerly SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”) that defines fair value, establishes
a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
According to ASC 820, investment measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following hierarchy:
|
Level 1 - |
Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level 1 included listed equities and listed derivatives. |
|
Level 2 - |
Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Investments that are generally included in this category include corporate bonds and loans, less liquid and restricted equity securities and certain over-the-counter derivatives. |
|
Level 3 - |
Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. |
The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s investments by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of September 30, 2009:

Accumulated other comprehensive income
Accumulated other comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated balance sheet represents foreign currency translation adjustment.
Available-for-sale securities
Available-for-sale securities include securities held for indefinite periods of time that are not classified either as trading securities or as held-to-maturity securities. Available-for-sale securities are recognized at cost and carried at fair value in the balance sheet. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded
from earnings and recognized in a separate component of other comprehensive income, net of the related tax effects, until realized.
Convertible loan
The Company’s convertible loan has non-detachable conversion feature, that were in-the-money with a beneficial conversion feature as of the commitment date. At issuance, the Company values separately the beneficial conversion features in convertible loan. Beneficial conversion feature is recognized by allocating to additional
paid-in capital of the net proceeds from the sale of the convertible loan equal to the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature. Intrinsic value is calculated as the difference, as of the commitment date, between the conversion price of the convertible loan and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTCBB, multiplied by the number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which the convertible loan is convertible. If the intrinsic value of the beneficial
conversion feature is greater than the net proceeds allocated to the convertible loan, the amount of the discount assigned to the beneficial conversion feature is limited to the amount of the proceeds. Interest expense is recognized using the effective interest method, meaning that any premium or discount upon issuance is amortized over the life of the instrument.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements |
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Accounting Standards Update “ASU” No. 2009-1)
In June 2009, the FASB approved its Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative United States accounting and reporting standards applicable for all non-governmental entities, with the exception of the SEC and its staff. The Codification is effective for interim or annual financial
periods ending after September 15, 2009 and impacts the Company’s financial statements as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification. There have been no changes to the content of the Company’s financial statements or disclosures as a result of implementing the Codification.
As a result of the Company’s implementation of the Codification during the current quarter, previous references to new accounting standards and literature are no longer applicable. In these financial statements, the Company will provide reference to both new and old guidance to assist in understanding the impacts of recently adopted
accounting literature, particularly for guidance adopted since the beginning of the current fiscal year but prior to the Codification.
Noncontrolling Interests (Included in amended Topic ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, an amendment of ARB No. 51)
The amended topic establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.
The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Business Combinations (Included in amended Topic ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, previously SFAS No. 141(R))
This ASC guidance addresses the accounting and disclosure for identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in a business combination. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Included in amended Topic ASC 350, previously FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 142-3 “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”)
The amended topic amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset
acquisitions. The amended topic is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Business Combinations (Included in amended Topic ASC 805, previously FSP No. 141R-1 “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies”)
Amended topic ASC 805 amends the requirements for the provisions for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations. The amended topic eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies,
including the initial recognition and measurement criteria and instead carries forward most of the provisions for acquired contingencies. The amended topic is effective for contingent assets and contingent liabilities acquired. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Included in amended Topic ASC 820, previously FSP No. 157-4 “Determining Whether a Market is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed”)
The amended topic clarifies when markets are illiquid or that market pricing may not actually reflect the “real” value of an asset. If a market is determined to be inactive and market price is reflective of a distressed price then an alternative method of pricing can be used, such as a present value technique to estimate fair
value. The amended topic identifies factors to be considered when determining whether or not a market is inactive. The amended topic is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Financial Instruments (Included in amended Topic ASC 825, previously FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” and SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”)
In April 2009, the FASB issued the amended topic to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. In addition, the amended topic requires those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods.
The amended topic is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with earlier adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of this amended topic does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Investments - Debt and Equity Securities - Overall - Transition and Open Effective Date Information (Included in amended Topic ASC 320, previously FSP No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2 “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”)
The amended topic amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities through increased consistency in the timing of impairment recognition and enhanced disclosures related to the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. In addition, increased disclosures
are required for both debt and equity securities regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and securities with unrealized losses. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Subsequent Events (Included in amended Topic ASC 855 “Subsequent Events”, previously SFAS No. 165)
The amended topic establishes accounting and disclosure requirements for subsequent events. The amended topic details the period after the balance sheet date during which the Company should evaluate events or transactions that occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which the Company
should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the required disclosures for such events. The Company adopted this amended topic effective June 1, 2009.
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (Included in amended Topic ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing”, previously SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”)
The amended topic addresses information a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about the transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. Also, the amended topic removes
the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity, limits the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a financial asset, defines participating interest and enhances the information provided to financial statement users to provide greater transparency. The amended topic is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this
amended topic on the Company’s financial statements.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - Amended (Included in amended Topic ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”)
The amended topic require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The amended topic also requires enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. The amended topic is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this amended topic on the Company’s
financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, an update to ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. This update provides amendments to reduce potential ambiguity in financial reporting when measuring the fair value of liabilities. Among other provisions, this update provides clarification that in circumstances
in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the valuation techniques described in ASU No. 2009-05. ASU No. 2009-05 will become effective for the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2009. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on the Company’s financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13 “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements - A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force”. This update provides application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables should be separated and how the consideration
should be allocated to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific or third-party evidence is available. The Company will be required to apply this guidance prospectively for revenue
arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011; however, earlier application is permitted. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on the Company’s financial statements.

Income taxes |
United States
The Company is subject to the United States of America Tax law at tax rate of 40.7%. No provision for the US federal income taxes has been made as the Company had no taxable income in this jurisdiction for the reporting periods. The Company has not provided deferred taxes on undistributed
earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries or VIE as of September 30, 2009 as it was the Company’s current policy to reinvest these earnings in non-U.S. operations.
BVI
Elevated Throne was incorporated in the BVI and, under the current laws of the BVI, is not subject to income taxes.
PRC
The PRC’s legislative body, the National People’s Congress, adopted the unified Corporate Income Tax Law on March 16, 2007. This new tax law replaces the existing separate income tax laws for domestic enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises and became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the new tax law, a unified
income tax rate is set at 25% for both domestic enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises.
Accordingly, Fujian Green Planet and Sanming Huajian, both of which are established in the PRC, are subject to PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on their assessable profits during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
5. |
Earnings per share |
The basic and diluted earnings per share is calculated using the net income and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting periods. All share and per share data have been adjusted to reflect the recapitalization of the Company in the RTO.
The diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 is based on the net income for the said periods and the weighted average number of shares of 24,149,997 and 21,388,128 outstanding respectively during the periods after adjusting for the number
of 8,560,630 and 5,858,863 dilutive potential ordinary shares. The number of 5,578,333 shares of warrants granted to several consultants are included in the calculation.
There was no dilutive instrument outstanding during the nine-month periods ended or as of September 30, 2008. Accordingly, the basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.

Land use rights (Cont’d) |
The legal title of the first land use right with carrying amount of $95,571 has not yet been transferred to the Company. The application of legal title is in the process and the management expects there will be no legal hindrance in obtaining the legal titles and no extra costs will be incurred.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company made an arrangement with the government to move part of the land use rights to operating leases for other pieces of land to promote its newer product portfolio such as fertilizers and pesticides. $5,831,325, representing the carrying value for the land use rights of $6,777,540
less outstanding land use rights payable of $946,215 (Note 12(a)), has been transferred to prepayments for the new land leases. The new operating leases commenced on July 1, 2009 and will be paid over a 30 year period.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, amortization charge was $17,517 and $17,228 respectively and was included in administrative expenses. The estimated amortization charges of land use rights for the five succeeding years are as follows:

such as fertilizers and pesticides. The lower cost of raw materials will fully or partially offset the cost for the new operating leases.

Available-for-sale securities |
The amount represents 5,024,038 shares of ONE’s common stock (a 4.9% interest) issued to the Company pursuant to the Preferred Share Purchase Agreement, of which 35% of these share were deposited in an escrow (Note 1).
There were limited trading transactions of ONE’s shares in the market during the past months and the fair value of ONE’s common stock held by the Company as of September 30, 2009 was determined by the management. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment and estimation.
The management determined the fair values of the ONE’s shares as of September 30, 2009 approximated their carrying value and no fair value changes had therefore been recognized.

The Company has negotiated two loans, both of which carry interest at the annual rate of 7.434%.
The loan of $660,150 is secured by a guarantee put up by a guarantee company. In return, the Company has pledged its plant and equipment with carrying value of $776,916 and paid a counter guarantee of $146,700 to the guarantee company. The guarantee charges payable to the guarantee company are calculated at 1.8% per
annum on the loan.
The other loan of $1,202,940 is secured by the Company’s property with carrying value of $1,520,843.

Convertible loan payable |
On June 22, 2009, the Company obtained $300,000 financing from ONE for general corporate and working capital purpose. The financing was in the form of convertible loan that carries interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Interest was accrued commencing from September 1, 2009 and shall continue to accrue on a daily basis
until payment in full of the funding. The first repayment of $75,000 will be due on December 1, 2009 and the unpaid balance together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on September 1, 2010 or later with a minimum payment of 1.5 times of the loan. The settlement may be convertible at the election of ONE into shares of the Company common stock at a price of $0.5 per share.
Since the convertible loan has beneficial conversion features, the conversion option of $165,000, valued separately by its intrinsic value, is recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital and $135,000 is recognized as convertible loan. The conversion option will be amortized into interest expense over the loan term. $13,750
of the loan discount has been recognized as interest expense during the current period.

Segment information |
The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s
reportable segments. The Company is solely engaged in the manufacture, marketing, sale and distribution of extracts from tobacco leaves residues. Since the nature of the products, their production processes, the type of their customers and their distribution methods are substantially similar, management considers they are as a single reportable segment under SFAS 131 “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”.
All of the Company’s long-lived assets and revenues classified based on customers are located in the PRC.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Overview
Green Planet Bioengineering Co., Limited (“Green Planet”) (formally Mondo Acquisition II, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 30, 2006. Since inception, we have been engaged in organizational efforts to obtain initial financing. We were formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination through the
acquisition of, or merger with, an operating business. We filed a registration statement on Form 10-SB with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 2, 2007, and since its effectiveness, we have focused our efforts to identify a possible business combination. On October 2, 2008, we changed our name to Green Planet.
On October 24, 2008 (“Closing Date”), we executed and consummated a Share Exchange Agreement by and among (i) Elevated Throne Overseas Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limited liability company which is the parent company of FuJian Green Planet Bioengineering Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) organized
under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”); (ii) the stockholders of 100% of Elevated Throne Overseas Ltd.’s common stock (the “Elevated Throne Overseas Ltd.’s Shareholders”); and (iii) our then-controlling stockholder, Cris Neely (who owned 93.5%). Prior to the Share Exchange Agreement, Mr. Min Zhao and Ms. Min Yan Zheng were the controlling persons of Elevated Throne Overseas Ltd. (100%). At closing, we acquired control of Elevated Throne Overseas
Ltd., by issuing to the Elevated Throne Overseas Ltd.’s Shareholders (Mr. Zhao and Ms. Zheng) 14,141,667 shares of our Common Stock in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of Elevated Throne Overseas Ltd. (the “Transaction”). Immediately after the Closing Date of this transaction, we had a total of 15,141,667 shares of common stock outstanding, with the Elevated Throne Overseas Ltd.’s Shareholders owning approximately 93.40% of our outstanding common stock, and the balance
held by those who held the common stock prior to the Closing Date. Upon closing of the Transaction, Mr. Min Zhao and Ms. Min Yan Zheng became our controlling shareholders and we no longer were a “blank check” company.
Elevated Throne Overseas Ltd. owns 100% of FuJian Green Planet Bioengineering Co., Ltd., which is a WFOE under the laws of the PRC. WFOE has entered into a series of contractual arrangements with Sanming Huajian Bio-Engineering Co., Ltd., a limited liability company headquartered in, and organized under the laws of, the PRC. The PRC restructuring
transaction closed as of October 24, 2008. Fujian Green Planet Bioengineering Co., Ltd. is required under the agreements to complete additional post-closing steps required in order to maintain its good standing under PRC law. These steps include Fujian Green Planet Bioengineering Co., Ltd. making required regulatory filings and giving proof to regulatory authorities that it has received the required portion of its registered capital as of the deadline required under PRC law. The Company has applied for an extension
of the contribution period to December 31, 2009 with the relevant government bureau and contributed $300,000 to Fujian Green Planet Bioengineering Co., Ltd. on September 7, 2009.
5
As a result of the Reverse Merger Transaction, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Elevated Throne Overseas Ltd. and consequently, control of the business and operations of Elevated Throne Overseas Ltd., FuJian Green Planet Bioengineering Co., Ltd., and Sanming Huajian Bio-Engineering Co., Ltd. Prior to the Reverse Merger Transaction,
we were a public reporting “blank check” company in the development stage. From and after the Closing Date of the Share Exchange Agreement, we are no longer a “blank check” company and our primary operations consist of the business and operations of Sanming Huajian Bio-Engineering Co., Ltd., which are conducted in China.
On July 22, 2009, Green Planet announced that majority control of the Company had been acquired by ONE Holdings, Corp. (“ONE”). ONE acquired in a series of transactions approximately 80% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Green Planet on a fully diluted basis. The transactions involved the acquisition of common shares
and warrants from the majority shareholders of Green Planet and the acquisition by ONE of 5,101 Class A Preferred Shares of Green Planet. As a result of these transactions, ONE has become the majority shareholder of Green Planet and based upon the number of shares outstanding and assuming conversion of the Green Planet preferred stock into common stock, ONE would own approximately 83% of Green Planet’s shares. Green Planet owns 100% of FuJian Green Planet Bioengineering Co., Ltd., a WFOE, that
through a series of contractual arrangements has effective control of the business and operations of and has an irrevocable option to purchase the equity and/or assets of Sanming Huajian Bio-Engineering Co., Ltd. (a PRC company), a green process manufacturer of high quality health supplements, organic fertilizers and pesticides. Consequently, Green Planet effectively controls the business and operations of Sanming Huajian Bio-Engineering Co., Ltd.
Green Planet headquartered in Aventura, FL with its main operations located in Sanming and Fuzhou, China, is a high-tech bioengineering enterprise that engages in research, development, production and sale of various organic health and agricultural products originating from residues of tobacco leaves. The Company’s primary products
are Coenzyme Q10 (“CoQ10”), a health supplement that supports the cardiovascular system and a patented organic health supplement called “Paiqianshu”. Paiqianshu comes in both liquid and tablet forms and it’s made from natural green barley shoot extraction. The Company operates R&D, manufacturing, and distribution of its products primarily in the PRC.
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
In this Section, the Company will discuss the following: (i) results of operations and financial condition for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 versus the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and quarter ended September 30, 2009 versus quarter ended September 30, 2008; (ii) liquidity and capital resources; (iii) a discussion

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 versus September 30, 2008
Net Sales
The Company generated net sales of $7,929,710 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $7,501,285 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $428,425 or 6%. The increase in sales is due to a continued focus on driving customer value through all product lines. In addition, the company took advantage of
a shift in the product and customer mix combined with a broader product portfolio which also contributed to the increase in sales. The Company continues to experience an increase in demand for its broad product portfolio which caters to a higher number of customers.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $3,419,354 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $2,888,249 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $531,105. The increase is due to the higher net sales and broader product lines. We experienced a relatively stable raw material pricing during the two measuring periods. Furthermore,
the Company has strong relationships with its vendors.
Gross profit
The gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $4,510,356 compared to $4,613,036 for the same period of last year, a decrease of $102,680 (or 2%). The gross profit margin was 57% and 61% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company continues
to show stability in its market pricing as well as continuity in its manufacturing operations. The main reason for the lower gross profit is due to a temporary change in customer and product mix.
Operating Income
The operating income amounted to $3,482,892 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $3,667,119 for same period in 2008, which is a decrease of 5%.
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses totaled $119,134 and $184,452 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively. The main cost drivers were personnel costs, travel and costs related to various marketing campaigns. The Company has not added any sales staff compared to the same period of last year.
Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses amounted to $708,666 and $595,164 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively. The main expenses were attributable to management and staff, accounting, audit fees and facilities expenses. The main reasons for the increase are attributable to various public company expenses such
as legal advice, audit fees, and filing fees. In addition, the Company reported a non-cash impacting stock issuance cost of $12,318 in the quarter ended March 31, 2009.
7
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (R&D) expenses totaled $199,664 and $166,301 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 respectively. The increase in R&D expenses is due to costs associated with new product offerings. The Company’s efforts to broaden and strengthen its product portfolio will continue, however,
at a pace that is consistent with the economy and the increasing sales activities.
Income Taxes
Income tax is accounted for using the tax effect accounting method, whereby the income tax expense of the current period is determined based on the total amount of the income tax payable for the period and the amount of the tax effect of timing differences. The liability method is used in determining the tax effect of the timing differences.
The Company records its income taxes based on the requirements of ASC 740, previously SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which includes an estimate of taxes payable or refundable for the current period and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The management periodically assesses the deferred tax assets and the adequacy of deferred tax liabilities, including
the results of local, state, federal tax audits or estimates and judgments used.
The Company operates in the People’s Republic of China and is subject to its tax laws. In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China, the enterprise income tax rate has been revised to 25% across the board for all enterprises, whether domestic or foreign-owned from 33% with effect
from January 1, 2008. The Company is subject to the United States of America Tax law at a tax rate of 40.7%. No provision for the US federal income taxes has been made as the Company had no taxable income in this jurisdiction for the reporting periods.
Net Income
The net income for the Company was $2,532,781 and $2,702,709 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 respectively. The net profit margin was 32% and 36% for the same periods, respectively. The Company continues to show a strong profit margin despite challenging economic conditions.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 versus September 30, 2008
Net Sales
The Company generated net sales of $3,462,341 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $2,634,409 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $827,932 or 31%. The increase in sales is mainly due to a broader product line which caters to a higher number of customers. Additionally, the Company
received the benefit of certain sales orders related to the new products which shipped in the current quarter. The Company anticipates demand for the broader product line to continue into the following quarter.
8
Cost of Sales

Gross profit
The gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $1,884,260 compared to $1,589,513 for the same period of last year, an increase of $294,747 (or 19%). The gross profit margin was 54% and 60% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company continues
to show stability in its market pricing as well as continuity in its manufacturing operations. The main reason for the lower gross profit is due to a change in customer and product mix.
Operating Income
The operating income amounted to $1,501,203 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 compared to $1,218,137 for same quarter in 2008, which is an increase of 23%.
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses totaled $42,577 and $66,524 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively. The main cost drivers were personnel costs, travel and costs related to various marketing campaigns. The Company has not added any sales staff compared to the same period of last year. In addition, the Company
made efforts to lower expenses in line with the economic and market driven volumes.
Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses amounted to $213,855 and $247,785 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The management periodically assesses the deferred tax assets and the adequacy of deferred tax liabilities, including
the results of local, state, federal tax audits or estimates and judgments used.
The Company operates in the People’s Republic of China and is subject to its tax laws. In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China, the enterprise income tax rate has been revised to 25% across the board for all enterprises, whether domestic or foreign-owned from 33% with effect
from January 1, 2008. The Company is subject to the United States of America Tax law at a tax rate of 40.7%. No provision for the US federal income taxes has been made as the Company had no taxable income in this jurisdiction for the reporting periods.
Net Income
The net income for the Company was $1,074,199 and $885,579 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 respectively. The net profit margin was 31% and 34% for the same periods, respectively. The increase in net income is mainly due to higher sales volume and lower administrative and selling expenses. In addition,
the Company’s product and customer mix shifted slightly which contributed to a higher R&D cost which offset some of the gain in volume and expense reduction.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s working capital and long-term funding primarily comes from operating cash flow and loans, while the financial resources are used in capital expenditures, operating activities and repayment of loans. Net cash flow used in operating activities amounted to $1,369,110 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared
to net cash flow provided by operating activities of $1,858,178 for same period in 2008. The lower cash inflow is mainly due to $4,376,185 prepayments of land to be used for the Company’s operations. The Company’s trade receivables totaled $3,824,262 as of September 30, 2009 compared to $4,346,403 for the same period in 2008. No allowance for doubtful debts was provided for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The Company believes it has a strong and loyal customer base. The inventory amounted
to $636,276 and $431,569 as of September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 respectively. The higher inventory level is due to expected increased sales volumes. The main part of the inventory as of September 30, 2009 consists of raw material $300,383. Future operations are estimated to be funded by the Company’s net income. In addition, the Company is working aggressively to reduce its accounts receivables to further strengthen its cash position. The main part of the Company’s cash outflow is estimated
to pertain to R&D and administrative expenses. In addition, based on the demand for the Company’s products, the Company plans to add necessary equipment to its manufacturing facility to match the market demand. However, this will be in strong correlation with the product demand factor and the Company’s cash inflow. The Company has negotiated two loans totaling $1,863,090, both of which carry interest at the annual rate of 7.434%. As further described in note 14 to the condensed
consolidated financial statement, the loans are secured by the Company’s property, plant and equipment and a guarantee put up by a guarantee company. Additionally, the Company obtained a $300,000 financing from ONE for general corporate and working capital purpose. The financing, as further described in note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statement, was in the form of a convertible loan that carries interest at a rate of 10% per annum. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009,
the Company made an arrangement with the government to move part of the land use rights to operating leases for other pieces of land to promote its newer product portfolio. The carrying value of $5,831,325 was transferred to prepayments for the new land leases. As further described in note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statement, the new operating leases commenced on July 1, 2009 and will be paid over 30 years. The lower cost of raw materials will fully or partially offset the
cost for the new operating leases. To further boost the Company’s future liquidity, the Company issued to ONE 5,101 of its series A preferred shares and received in return 5,024,038 common of ONE’s stock valued at $5,000,000. As these shares mature, the Company may liquidate in an orderly fashion these shares to further boost its liquidity.

Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s operating entity, Sanming Huajian Bio-Engineering Co., Ltd. maintains its financial statements in the functional currency of the People’s Republic of China, which is the “Renminbi” (RMB). Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchanges rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.
For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements are prepared using the functional currency Renminbi, which have been translated into United States dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates, revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and stockholders’
equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity.

Significant Estimates
Critical accounting polices include the areas where we have made what we consider to be particularly subjective or complex judgments in making estimates and where these estimates can significantly impact our financial results under different assumptions and conditions.
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could be different than those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Accounting Standards Update “ASU” No. 2009-1)
In June 2009, the FASB approved its Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative United States accounting and reporting standards applicable for all non-governmental entities, with the exception of the SEC and its staff. The Codification is effective for interim or annual financial
periods ending after September 15, 2009 and impacts the Company’s financial statements as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification. There have been no changes to the content of the Company’s financial statements or disclosures as a result of implementing the Codification.
As a result of the Company’s implementation of the Codification during the current quarter, previous references to new accounting standards and literature are no longer applicable.
Noncontrolling Interests (Included in amended Topic ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, an amendment of ARB No. 51)
The amended topic establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.
The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
12
Business Combinations (Included in amended Topic ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, previously SFAS No. 141(R))
This ASC guidance addresses the accounting and disclosure for identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in a business combination. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Included in amended Topic ASC 350, previously FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 142-3 “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”)
The amended topic amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset
acquisitions. The amended topic is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Business Combinations (Included in amended Topic ASC 805, previously FSP No. 141R-1 “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies”)

including the initial recognition and measurement criteria and instead carries forward most of the provisions for acquired contingencies. The amended topic is effective for contingent assets and contingent liabilities acquired. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Included in amended Topic ASC 820, previously FSP No. 157-4 “Determining Whether a Market is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed”)
The amended topic clarifies when markets are illiquid or that market pricing may not actually reflect the “real” value of an asset. If a market is determined to be inactive and market price is reflective of a distressed price then an alternative method of pricing can be used, such as a present value technique to estimate fair
value. The amended topic identifies factors to be considered when determining whether or not a market is inactive. The amended topic is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Financial Instruments (Included in amended Topic ASC 825, previously FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” and SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”)
13
In April 2009, the FASB issued the amended topic to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. In addition, the amended topic requires those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods.
The amended topic is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with earlier adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of this amended topic does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Investments - Debt and Equity Securities - Overall - Transition and Open Effective Date Information (Included in amended Topic ASC 320, previously FSP No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2 “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”)
The amended topic amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities through increased consistency in the timing of impairment recognition and enhanced disclosures related to the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. In addition, increased disclosures
are required for both debt and equity securities regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and securities with unrealized losses. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Subsequent Events (Included in amended Topic ASC 855 “Subsequent Events”, previously SFAS No. 165)
The amended topic establishes accounting and disclosure requirements for subsequent events. The amended topic details the period after the balance sheet date during which the Company should evaluate events or transactions that occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which the Company
should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the required disclosures for such events. The Company adopted this amended topic effective June 1, 2009.
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (Included in amended Topic ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing”, previously SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”)
The amended topic addresses information a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about the transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. Also, the amended topic removes
the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity, limits the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a financial asset, defines participating interest and enhances the information provided to financial statement users to provide greater transparency. The amended topic is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this
amended topic on the Company’s financial statements.
14
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - Amended (Included in amended Topic ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”)
The amended topic require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary
of a variable interest entity. The amended topic also requires enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. The amended topic is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this amended topic on the Company’s financial
statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, an update to ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. This update provides amendments to reduce potential ambiguity in financial reporting when measuring the fair value of liabilities. Among other provisions, this update provides clarification that in circumstances in
which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the valuation techniques described in ASU No. 2009-05. ASU No. 2009-05 will become effective for the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2009. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on the Company’s financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13 “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements - A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force”. This update provides application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables should be separated and how the consideration
should be allocated to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific or third-party evidence is available. The Company will be required to apply this guidance prospectively for revenue
arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011; however, earlier application is permitted. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on the Company’s financial statements.

Disclosure Control and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the “Exchange Act,” is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
The Company’s management with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2009. Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that if files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations and accumulated and communicated to them as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate “internal control over financial reporting” as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and 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 our assets; |
ii. |
|
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and |
16
iii. |
|
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements. |
As of December 31, 2008 and as reported in our 10-K filing, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Tread way commission to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based
on its evaluation, our management concluded that at December 31, 2008 there is a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The Company’s material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting relates to the monitoring and review of work performed in the preparation of audit and financial statements, footnotes, and financial data provided to the Company’s registered public accounting firm in connection with the annual audit. All
of our financial reporting is carried out by the finance manager and experienced outside consultants. The lack of accounting staff results in a lack of segregation of duties necessary for an effective system of internal control. The material weakness identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements for 2008 or any other related financial disclosure, nor does management believe that it had any effect on the accuracy of the Company’s financial statements
for the current reporting period.
In order to mitigate this material weakness to the fullest extent possible, all quarterly and annual financial reports are reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors for reasonableness. All unexpected results are investigated. At any time, if it appears that any control can be implemented to
continue to mitigate such weakness, it is immediately implemented. We intend to implement appropriate procedures for monitoring and review the work performed by our finance manager and outside consultants. The Company is seeking a permanent placement for the Chief Financial Officer position.
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
