1. 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. 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 to satisfy the initial license payment requirement. The Company paid on February 19, 2010 $1,700,000 to fully satisfy the business license requirement.
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 Bio 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 of 1,004,807 common shares (post split), 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 account 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.
|
On April 14, 2010, we granted to ONE an option to acquire 100% of the stock of Elevated Throne Overseas Ltd. (“Elevated Throne”), our 100% owned BVI subsidiary. In the event ONE exercises this option, the closing of the transaction will be subject to the approval of our stockholders. Furthermore, as a result of this event and if the transaction is fully consummated, ONE will own 100% of Elevated Throne and its subsidiaries which constitutes essentially all former operations of Green Planet. Green Planet will remain a subsidiary of ONE and operate as a public shell corporation with the business purpose to acquire or merge with an existing business operation.

Summary of significant accounting policies
|
Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries and its 100% VIE Sanming Huajian. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
|
In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the period ended March 31, 2010, have been made. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial foot notes thereto and the Company’s Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
|
Use of estimates
In preparing the 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 March 31, 2010:

Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)

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.
Concentrations of credit risk
|
The Company has slightly broadened and changed its product portfolio and as a result, the Company has experienced a higher number of customers and less concentration of credit risk. During the reporting periods, customers representing the highest sales revenue of the Company are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

They are not freely convertible into foreign currencies and the remittance of these funds out of the PRC is subject to exchange control restrictions imposed by the PRC government.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectability of trade and other receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of the allowance, the Company considers the historical level of credit losses and applies percentages to aged receivable categories. The Company makes judgments about the creditworthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations, and monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a larger allowance may be required.

Based on the above assessment, during the reporting periods, the management establishes the following rates of general provision provided on gross amount of trade and other receivables :
Rate
|
||||
Aged within ½ year
|
0 | % | ||
Aged over ½ year but within 1 year
|
5 | % | ||

Additional specific provision is made against trade and other receivables aged less than 1 year to the extent which they are considered to be doubtful.
Bad debts are written off when identified. The Company extends unsecured credit to customers ranging from three to six months in the normal course of business. The Company does not accrue interest on trade accounts receivable.
No allowance for doubtful debts was provided for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined on a weighted-average basis and includes all expenditures incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale and putting them in a saleable condition. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, the management makes judgments as to future demand requirements compared to current or committed inventory levels. The Company’s reserve requirements generally increase with its projected demand requirements; decrease due to market conditions, product life cycle changes. During the reporting periods, all of the Company’s products are saleable with high profit margins, the Company did not make any allowance for slow-moving or defective inventories.
No allowance of obsolete inventories was provided for during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The principal amortization periods are as follows:-
Amortization period
|
|||
Technologies
|
5 to 10 years
|
||
Software
|
5 years
|
The Company periodically reviews the original estimated useful lives of long-lived assets and makes adjustments when appropriate. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its intangible assets for impairment by comparing the future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets to their respective carrying amounts.

Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use.
Depreciation is provided on straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The principal depreciable periods are as follows :
Depreciable period

Construction in progress represents buildings and machinery under construction, which is stated at cost less any impairment losses, and is not depreciated. Cost comprises the direct costs of construction. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for use.
Maintenance or repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the applicable amounts of asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount less proceeds from disposal is charged or credited to income.
Land use rights
Land use rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the terms of the lease of 50 years obtained from the relevant PRC land authority.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes impairment of long-lived assets in the event that the net book values of such assets exceed the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. During the reporting periods, the Company has not identified any indicators that would require testing for impairment.
Revenue recognition

Deferred revenue
Deferred revenue represents subsidy income received from the government. It mainly consisted of receipt of granted funds to subsidize the Company’s research and development activities and recognized as income when the relevant criteria are met.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales consists primarily of materials costs, freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, wages, employee compensation, depreciation and related costs, which are directly attributable to the production of products.
Selling expenses
Selling expenses mainly consist of advertising, commission, entertainment, salaries, and traveling expense which are incurred during the selling activities.
Advertising and research and development expenses
Advertising and research and development expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
Stock-based compensation
The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 718 formerly SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”, which requires the use of the fair value method of accounting for share-based compensation. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost related to employee stock options or similar equity instruments which are equity-classified awards, is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the requisite service period, which is usually the vesting period. ASC Topic 718 also requires measurement of cost of a liability-classified award based on its current fair value.
The fair value of warrants granted is determined using the Black-Scholes model. Under this model, certain assumptions, including the risk-free interest rate, the expected life of the warrants and the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock and the expected volatility, are required to determine the fair value of the warrants. If different assumptions had been used, the fair value of the warrants would have been different from the amount the Company computed and recorded, which would have resulted in either an increase or decrease in the compensation expense.
Income taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to ASC Topic 740 formerly SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Off-balance sheet arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Basic and diluted earnings per share
The Company reports basic earnings per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260 formerly SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The weighted average number of shares of the Company represents the common stock outstanding during the reporting periods.
Diluted earnings per share are computed using the sum of weighted average number of shares outstanding and dilutive potential shares outstanding during the periods presented. During the year ended December 31, 2009 and period ended March 31, 2010, dilutive potential shares included warrants issued to consultants.
Comprehensive income
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 220 formerly SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Components of comprehensive income include net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of the Company is Renminbi (“RMB”) and RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. The Company maintains its financial statements in the functional currency. 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 transactions. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income/loss for the respective periods.
For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company which are prepared using the functional currency have been translated into United States dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and stockholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any translation adjustments resulting from the above are not included in determining net income but are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity. The exchange rates in effect as of March 31, 2010 and 2009 were 1USD for 6.84 and 6.85 RMB, respectively.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
|
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05 which includes amendments to Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Overall”. The 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 techniques provided for in this update.
The amendments in this ASU clarify that a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability and also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The guidance provided in this ASU is effective for the first reporting period, including interim periods, beginning after issuance. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-06, Income Taxes (Topic 740), “Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic Entities”, which provides implementation guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, as well as eliminates certain disclosure requirements for nonpublic entities. For entities that are currently applying the standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, this update shall be effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. For those entities that have deferred the application of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with paragraph 740-10-65-1(e), this update shall be effective upon adoption of those standards. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations since this accounting standard update provides only implementation and disclosure amendments.
In September 2009, the FASB has published ASU No. 2009-12, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)”. This ASU amends Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall”, to permit a reporting entity to measure the fair value of certain investments on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent). This ASU also requires new disclosures, by major category of investments including the attributes of investments within the scope of this amendment to the Codification. The guidance in this Update is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements (cont’d)
In October 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)-Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements”, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. Specifically, this guidance amends the criteria in Subtopic 605-25, “Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements”, for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimates. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method and also requires expanded disclosures. The guidance in this update is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations
In October 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-14, “Software (Topic 985)-Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements” and changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Under this guidance, tangible products containing software components and non software components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality are excluded from the software revenue guidance in Subtopic 985-605, “Software-Revenue Recognition”. In addition, hardware components of a tangible product containing software components are always excluded from the software revenue guidance. The guidance in this ASU is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In December 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2010-16 ““Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets.” ASU No. 2009-16 is a revision to ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” and amends the guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, where entities have continued exposure to risks related to transferred financial assets. ASU No. 2009-16 also expands the disclosure requirements for such transactions. This ASU will become effective for us on April 1, 2010. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In December 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2010-17 Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities.” ASU No. 2009-17 amends the guidance for consolidation of VIEs primarily related to the determination of the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The stock portion of such distributions is considered a share issuance that is reflected in earnings per share prospectively and is not a stock dividend. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted.

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 March 31, 2010 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.

Convertible loan payable
|
|
On June 22, 2009, the Company obtained $300,000 financing from ONE for general corporate and working capital purposes. The financing was in the form of convertible loan that carries interest at a rate of 10% per annum.

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 ASC Topic 280-10-05 “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”.
All of the Company’s long-lived assets and revenues are classified based on customers 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 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 to satisfy the initial license payment requirement. The Company paid $1,700,000 on February 19, 2010 to fully satisfy the business license requirement.
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 Bio, 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.
On April 14, 2010, we granted to ONE an option to acquire 100% of the stock of Elevated Throne Overseas Ltd. (“Elevated Throne”), our 100% owned BVI subsidiary. In the event ONE exercises this option, the closing of the transaction will be subject to the approval of our stockholders. Furthermore, as a result of this event and if the transaction is fully consummated, ONE will own 100% of Elevated Throne and its subsidiaries which constitutes essentially all former operations of Green Planet. Green Planet will remain a subsidiary of ONE and operate as a public shell corporation with the business purpose to acquire or merge with an existing business operation.
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’s business involves R&D, manufacturing, sales, marketing, and distribution. The Company primarily sells its products 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 three months ended March 31, 2010 versus the three months ended March 31, 2009; (ii) liquidity and capital resources; (iii) a discussion of the Company’s risk factors; and (iv) Company’s critical accounting policies.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 versus March 31, 2009
Net Sales
The Company generated net sales of $3,259,429 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $2,297,621 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $961,808 or 42%. The increase in sales is mainly due to a broader product line which caters to a higher number of customers. The company’s product 5-HTP sold very well during the quarter with sales in of $1,397,411. 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 second quarter.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $1,469,280 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $852,686 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $616,594. The increase is due to a higher volume in sales and the change in product and customer mix. We experienced a stable raw material pricing on existing products during the two measuring periods. Furthermore, the Company continues to have strong relationships with its vendors.
Gross profit
The gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $1,790,149 compared to $1,444,935 for the same period of last year, an increase of $345,214 (or 24%). The gross profit margin was 55% and 63% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, 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. The higher sales volume has triggered certain volume discounts to a few customers.
Operating Income
The operating income amounted to $1,233,651 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to $1,140,223 for same quarter in 2009, which is an increase of 8%. The higher net sales and gross profit contributed to the increase in operating income.
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses totaled $174,311 and $56,031 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, respectively. The main cost drivers were personnel costs, travel costs, and costs related to various marketing campaigns. The increase in the selling expenses is mainly attributable to advertizing and trade show expenses which totaled $122,018 in order to drive future sales and sales of new products. The Company has added sales staff compared to the same period of last year with the intention of increasing sales and providing excellent customer service.
7
Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses amounted to $321,799 and $221,215 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, 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 higher personnel costs due to the increased number of employees and various administrative expenses related to the company’s trade show activities in the current quarter.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (R&D) expenses totaled $60,388 and $36,466 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 respectively. The increase in R&D expenses is due to a broader product line. 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.
8
Net Income
The net income for the Company was $944,748 and $842,725 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 respectively. The net profit margin was 29% and 37% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, respectively. The increase in net income is mainly due to the higher sales volume. However, the decrease in net profit margin is mainly due to a shift in the product mix in order to drive higher sales. The Company’s belief is that when the new products increase in volume, the net profit margin will increase due to economies of scale. The net profit margin was also affected negatively by a onetime advertizing and trade show expense totaling $122,018 .
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 provided in operating activities amounted to $1,876,187 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to net cash flow provided by operating activities of $441,881 for same period in 2009. The higher cash inflow is mainly due to $1,684,158 in reduced trade receivables and increased net income. The Company’s trade receivables totaled $3,395,745 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $5,078,734 as of December 31, 2009. No allowance for doubtful receivables was provided for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The Company believes it has a strong and loyal customer base. The inventory amounted to $1,579,171 and $1,490 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 respectively. The higher inventory level is due to expected increased sales volumes. The main part of the inventory as of March 31, 2010 consists of work in progress and finished goods which totaled $353,705. 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 $1,860,588, 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 $1,700,000 in financing from ONE to satisfy the WFOE requirement and the business license to operate the WFOE as well as for working capital purposes. 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 last year, 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 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.

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.
10
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
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05 which includes amendments to Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Overall”. The 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 techniques provided for in this update. The amendments in this ASU clarify that a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability and also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The guidance provided in this ASU is effective for the first reporting period, including interim periods, beginning after issuance. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-06, Income Taxes (Topic 740), “Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic Entities”, which provides implementation guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, as well as eliminates certain disclosure requirements for nonpublic entities. For entities that are currently applying the standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, this update shall be effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. For those entities that have deferred the application of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with paragraph 740-10-65-1(e), this update shall be effective upon adoption of those standards. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations since this accounting standard update provides only implementation and disclosure amendments.
In September 2009, the FASB has published ASU No. 2009-12, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)”. This ASU amends Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall”, to permit a reporting entity to measure the fair value of certain investments on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent). This ASU also requires new disclosures, by major category of investments including the attributes of investments within the scope of this amendment to the Codification. The guidance in this Update is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB has published ASU 2010-01 “Equity (Topic 505)- Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force,” as codified in ASC 505,. ASU No. 2010-01 clarifies the treatment of certain distributions to shareholders that have both stock and cash components. The stock portion of such distributions is considered a share issuance that is reflected in earnings per share prospectively and is not a stock dividend. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In January 2010, the FASB has published ASU 2010-02 “Consolidation (Topic 810)- Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary—a Scope Clarification,” as codified in ASC 810, “Consolidation.” ASU No. 2010-02 applies retrospectively to April 1, 2009, our adoption date for ASC 810-10-65-1 as previously discussed in this financial note. This ASU clarifies the applicable scope of ASC 810 for a decrease in ownership in a subsidiary or an exchange of a group of assets that is a business or nonprofit activity. The ASU also requires expanded disclosures. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations
In October 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)-Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements”, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. Specifically, this guidance amends the criteria in Subtopic 605-25, “Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements”, for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimates. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method and also requires expanded disclosures. The guidance in this update is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-14, “Software (Topic 985)-Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements” and changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Under this guidance, tangible products containing software components and nonsoftware components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality are excluded from the software revenue guidance in Subtopic 985-605, “Software-Revenue Recognition”. In addition, hardware components of a tangible product containing software components are always excluded from the software revenue guidance. The guidance in this ASU is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
12
In December 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2010-16 ““Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets.” ASU No. 2009-16 is a revision to ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” and amends the guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, where entities have continued exposure to risks related to transferred financial assets. ASU No. 2009-16 also expands the disclosure requirements for such transactions. This ASU will become effective for us on April 1, 2010. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In December 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2010-17 Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities.” ASU No. 2009-17 amends the guidance for consolidation of VIEs primarily related to the determination of the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In January 2010, the FASB has published ASU 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): - Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU No. 2010-06 clarifies improve disclosure requirement related to fair value measurements and disclosures – Overall Subtopic (Subtopic 820-10) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure about purchase, sales, issuances, and settlement in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Other ASUs not effective until after December 31, 2009, are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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 March 31, 2010. 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
|
14
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, 2009 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, 2009 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 2009 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.
