NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1.	Description of business and organization

References herein to “Kiwa” or “the Company” refer to Kiwa Bio-Tech Products Group Corporation and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries unless the context specifically states or implies otherwise.

Organization - The Company is the result of a share exchange transaction accomplished on March 12, 2004 between the shareholders of Kiwa Bio-Tech Products Group Ltd. (“Kiwa BVI”), a company originally organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on June 5, 2002 and Tintic Gold Mining Company (“Tintic”), a corporation originally incorporated in the state of Utah on June 14, 1933 to perform mining operations in Utah. The share exchange resulted in a change of control of Tintic, with former Kiwa BVI stockholders owning approximately 89% of Tintic on a fully diluted basis and Kiwa BVI surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tintic. Subsequent to the share exchange transaction, Tintic changed its name to Kiwa Bio-Tech Products Group Corporation. On July 21, 2004, the Company completed its reincorporation in the State of Delaware.

The Company has established two subsidiaries in China: (1) Kiwa Bio-Tech Products (Shandong) Co., Ltd. (“Kiwa Shandong”) in 2002 and (2) Tianjin Kiwa Feed Co., Ltd. (“Kiwa Tianjin”) in July 2006. The following chart summarizes the Company’s organizational and ownership structure.

Business - The Company’s business plan is to develop, manufacture, distribute and market innovative, cost-effective and environmentally safe bio-technological products for agriculture markets located primarily in China. The Company has acquired technologies to produce and market bio-fertilizer and bio-enhanced feed products, and also are developing a veterinary drug based on AF-01 anti-viral aerosol technology.

2.	Summaries of significant accounting policies

Principle of consolidation - These condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kiwa BVI and Kiwa Bio-Tech Products (Shandong) Co., Ltd. (“Kiwa Shandong”), and also its majority-owned subsidiary, Tianjin Kiwa Feed Co., Ltd. (“Kiwa Tianjin”). All significant inter-company balances or transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

Basis of preparation - These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant accounting estimates include bad debt provision, impairment of inventory and long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization and fair value of warrants and options.

KIWA BIO-TECH PRODUCTS GROUP CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Country Risk - As the Company’s principal operations are conducted in China, the Company is subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies operating in North America and Western Europe. These risks include, among others, risks associated with the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange limitations encountered in China. The Company’s results of operations may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in China, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, among other things.

In addition, all of the Company’s transactions undertaken in China are denominated in China Renminbi (“RMB”), which must be converted into other currencies before remittance out of China may be made. Both the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of foreign currencies out of China require the approval from the Chinese government. In recent years, the Chinese government has gradually loosened its control over foreign exchange, especially with respect to current foreign exchange accounts, for instance, by removing the requirement for advance examination and approval to open a current foreign exchange account and by increasing the quota for foreign exchange accounts.

Credit Risk - The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and intends to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts when amounts are not considered fully collectable. According to the Company’s credit policy, the Company generally provides 100% bad debt provision for the amounts outstanding over 365 days after the deduction of the amount subsequently settled after the balance sheet date, which management believes is consistent with industry practice in China region.

As of March 31, 2009, there was $177,654 in accounts receivable aged over 365 days old, with respect to which we have established a corresponding allowance for doubtful accounts in the same amount.

Going Concern - The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements do not purport to represent the realizable or settlement values.

As of March 31, 2009, the Company had cash of $16,917, current ratio of 0.45 and quick ratio of 0.041. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $13,498,526, and incurred net losses of $818,125 during the three months ended March 31, 2009. This trend is expected to continue. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management is in the course of sourcing additional capital and considering ways to restructure or adjust the Company’s operations and product mix so as to increase profit margins in the future. However, there is no guarantee that these actions will be successful.

These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Foreign Currency Translation - The Company uses United States dollars (“US Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes. However, the Company maintains the books and records in its functional currency, Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operations are conducted. In general, the Company translates its assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, and the statement of income is translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the Company’s financial statements are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income.

KIWA BIO-TECH PRODUCTS GROUP CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into U.S. Dollars for the purposes of preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements were as follows:-

	As of March 31, 2009	As of December 31, 2008
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts	US$1=RMB6.8359	US$1=RMB6.8346

	Three months ended March 31,
	2009	2008
Items in the statements of income and cash flows	US$1=RMB6.8373	US$1=RMB7.1034

Advertising costs - The Company charges all advertising costs to expense as incurred. The total amounts of advertising costs charged to selling, general and administrative expense were $190 and $2,130 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Research and development costs - Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, research and development costs were $48,116 and $45,717, respectively.

Shipping and handling costs - Substantially all costs of shipping and handling of products to customers are included in selling, general and administrative expense. Shipping and handling costs for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $205 and $1,052, respectively.

Net Loss Per Common Share - Basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share includes dilutive effect of dilutive securities (stock options, warrants, convertible debt, stock subscription and other stock commitments issuable). These potentially dilutive securities were not included in the calculation of loss per share for the periods presented because the Company incurred a loss during such periods and thus the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per common share is the same for all periods presented. As of March 31, 2009, potentially dilutive securities aggregated 4,623,719,301 shares of common stock.

Reclassification from Prior Period Financial Statements - Certain prior period comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement Adopted - Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of EITF 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-5”). EITF 07-5 applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, as defined by SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock. As a result of adopting EITF 07-5, (1) the Company’s outstanding stock purchase warrants issued to the 6% convertible notes Purchasers, (2) stock purchase warrants issued to the investment bank, and (3) stock options issued to officers and employees, which were previously treated as equity pursuant to the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS No. 113 were no longer afforded equity treatment. These warrants and stock options contain anti-dilution adjustment provisions designed to protect the holders in the event the Company issues securities below the trading price of the Company’s shares.

As such, effective January 1, 2009, the Company reclassified the fair value of these warrants from equity to liability as if these warrants were treated as a derivative liability since the dates of their issuance. The Company determined that these warrants and options have negligible value both as of January 1, 2009 and March 31, 2009. Therefore, on January 1, 2009, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment of $2,026,309 which was reclassified from additional paid-in capital to the opening retained earnings. There was no effect on the Company’s results for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as there was no change in the fair value of these warrants from January 1, 2009 to March 31, 2009.

SFAS 161 requires tabular disclosure of the fair value of derivative instruments and their gains and losses. This Statement also requires disclosure regarding the credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements, counterparty credit risk, and strategies and objectives for using derivative instruments. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

During 2008, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position No. 157-2 ("FSP FAS 157-2"), "Effective Date of FASB Statement 157,"which deferred the provisions of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities to the first fiscal period beginning after November 15, 2008.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160 ("SFAS 160"), "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51." SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements" to establish 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, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity. Among other requirements, this Statement requires that the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated income statement. SFAS 160 was effective beginning in the Company’s fiscal 2009. SFAS 160 requires prospective application, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of SFAS 160 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007) ("SFAS 141R"), "Business Combinations." SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The Company will apply SFAS 141R to any business combinations subsequent to adoption. In addition, this Statement requires that any additional reversal of deferred tax asset valuation allowance established in connection with our fresh start reporting on January 7, 1998 be recorded as a component of income tax expense rather than as a reduction to the goodwill established in connection with the fresh start reporting.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position Financial Accounting Standard 141R-1 ("FSP FAS 141R-1"), "Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies." FSP FAS 141R-1 amends SFAS 141R to require that an acquirer recognize at fair value, at the acquisition date, an asset acquired or a liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition-date fair value of such an asset acquired or liability assumed cannot be determined, the acquirer should apply the provisions of SFAS 5, " Accounting for Contingencies" , to determine whether the contingency should be recognized at the acquisition date or after such date. FSP FAS 141R-1 is effective for business combinations whose acquisition date is on or after the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, the Company adopted this FSP during the first quarter of 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 141R-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

New accounting pronouncement to be adopted - In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 132(R)-1 (“FSP FAS 132(R)-1”), “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets.” The FSP expands the disclosure requirements about plan assets for defined benefit pension plans and postretirement plans. The Company is required to adopt FSP FAS 132(R)-1 in the fourth quarter of 2009. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact that this FSP may have on the disclosures in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 ("FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1"), "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments." The FSP amends SFAS 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting," to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. The Company is required to adopt FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 in the second quarter of 2009. The Company does not currently believe that adopting this FSP will have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 ("FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2"), "Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments." The FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. The Company is required to adopt FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 in the second quarter of 2009. We do not currently believe that adopting this FSP will have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-4 ("FSP FAS 157-4"), "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly." The FSP provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FASB Statement No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" , when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The Company is required to adopt FSP FAS 157-4 in the second quarter of 2009. The Company does not currently believe that adopting this FSP will have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In conjunction with the sale and issuance of the 6% Notes, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, amended in October 2006, the requirements of which the Company met by filing its registration statement on Form SB-2 on August 11, 2006 and subsequently amended on October 20, 2006 and June 29, 2007.

KIWA BIO-TECH PRODUCTS GROUP CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Closings for the sale of the 6% Notes occurred on June 29, August 15 and October 31, 2006 for $857,500, $735,000 and $857,500 principal amount, respectively. The Company received $2,450,000 in aggregate from the three sales of the 6% Notes.

The conversion price of the 6% Notes is based on a 40% discount to the average of the trading price of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board over a 20-day trading period. The conversion price is also adjusted for certain subsequent issuances of equity securities of the Company at prices below the conversion price then in effect. The 6% Notes contain a volume limitation that prohibits the holder from converting further 6% Notes if doing so would cause the holder and its affiliates to hold more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. In addition, each holder of 6% Notes agrees that they may not convert more than their pro-rata share (based on original principal amount) of the greater of $120,000 principal amount of 6% Notes per calendar month or the average daily dollar volume calculated during the 10 business days prior to a conversion, per conversion. This conversion limit has since been eliminated pursuant to an agreement by the Company and the Purchasers (see discussion below).

The exercise price of the Warrants is $0.45 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments pursuant to a broad-based weighted average formula for subsequent issues of equity securities by the Company below the trading price of the shares. The Purchase Agreement requires the Company to maintain a reserve of authorized common stock equal to 110% of the number of shares issuable upon full conversion of the 6% Notes and exercise of the Warrants. The Purchase Agreement imposes financial penalties in cash (equal to 2% of the number of shares that the Purchaser is entitled to multiplied by the market price for each day) if the authorized number of shares of common stock is insufficient to satisfy the reserve requirements. The 6% Notes and the Warrants also impose financial penalties on the Company if it fails to timely deliver common stock upon conversion of the 6% Notes and exercise of the Warrants, respectively.

To enable reservation of a sufficient amount of authorized shares that may be issued pursuant to conversion of the 6% Notes and exercise of the Warrants, the Purchase Agreement required the Company to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock. At our annual meeting for 2006, which was held on September 12, 2006, a proposal to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares was approved by the required vote of our stockholders. At our annual meeting held for 2008 on December 30, 2008 we further amended our Certificate of Incorporation by increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock from 200,000,000 to 400,000,000.

The Company incurs a financial penalty in cash or shares at the option of the Company (equal to 2% of the outstanding amount of the Notes per months plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, prorated for partial months) if it breaches this or other affirmative covenants in the Purchase Agreement, including a covenant to maintain a sufficient number of authorized shares under its Certificate of Incorporation to cover at least 110% of the stock issuable upon full conversion of the Notes and the Warrants. Pursuant to the relevant provisions for liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement, as of March 31, 2009, the Company has accrued a total amount of $262,481 penalty. The loss was indicated in general and administrative expenses. .

The 6% Notes require the Company to procure the Purchaser’s consent to take certain actions including to pay dividends, repurchase stock, incur debt, guaranty obligations, merge or restructure the Company, or sell significant assets.

The Company’s obligations under the 6% Notes and the Warrants are secured by a first priority security interest in the Company’s intellectual property pursuant to an Intellectual Property Security Agreement with the Purchasers, and by a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s other assets pursuant to a Security Agreement with the Purchasers. In addition, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer has pledged all of his common stock of the Company as collateral security for the Company’s obligations under the 6% Notes and the Warrants. The Purchasers are accredited investors as defined under the Securities Act and the 6% Notes and the Warrants and the underlying common stock upon conversion and exercise will be issued without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption provided by Rule 506 under Regulation D under the Securities Act.

The fair value of the Warrants underlying the three sales of the 6% Notes (amounting to 4,287,500 shares, 3,675,000 shares and 4,287,500 shares respectively) at the time of their issuance was determined to be $545,477, $416,976 and $505,503 calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value was recorded as a reduction to 6% Notes payable and was charged to operations as interest expense in accordance with effective interest method within the period of the 6% Notes.

(UNAUDITED)

The Purchasers of the 6% Notes and Warrants were introduced to the Company by an investment bank pursuant to an engagement letter agreement with the Company. Pursuant to the engagement, the investment bank received a cash fee equal to 8% of the aggregate proceeds raised in the financing and to warrants in the quantity equal to 8% of the securities issued in the financing. The Company recorded the cash fee and other direct costs incurred for the issuance of the convertible loan in aggregate of $30,000 as deferred debt issuance costs. Debt issuance costs were amortized on the straight-line method over the term of the 6% Notes, with the amounts amortized being recognized as interest expense.

The warrants issued to the investment bank in connection with each tranche of 6% Notes (amounting to 343,000 shares, 294,000 shares and 343,000 shares) are exercisable for three years and have an exercise price equal to $0.2598. The fair value of these warrants at the time of their issuance was determined to be $94,005, $60,324 and $77,214 calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option pricing mode.

On January 31, 2008, we entered into three Callable Secured Convertible Notes Agreements (“2% Notes”) with four of our 6% Notes purchasers converting their unpaid interest of $112,917 in total, into principal with an interest rate of 2% per annum, which will be due on January 31, 2011. Other terms of the 2% Notes are similar to the 6% Notes. No principal of the 2% Notes has been converted so far. As of March 31, 2009, the outstanding principal balance on the 2% Notes was $112,917.

On September 25 and October 7, 2008, we entered into an agreement with the Purchasers to redeem all of the 6% Notes and 2% Notes. Under the redemption agreement, the Purchasers agreed to waive their participation right with respect to any new financing that closes before October 31, 2008, and suspend conversions of principal and interest under the 6% Notes and 2% Notes from September 25 to October 31, 2008. The Company agreed to redeem the notes for a specified price if a new financing was completed before October 31, 2008. Under the redemption agreement, if the Company failed to redeem the notes by October 31, 2008, the 6% Notes and 2% Notes would be automatically amended to remove limitations on the Purchasers’ right to convert under the 6% Notes and 2% Notes no more than (1) $120,000 per calendar month; and (2) the average daily dollar volume calculated during the ten (10) business days prior to a conversion, per conversion.

On October 27, 2008, we had informed the Purchasers that the Company would not be able to redeem the 6% Notes and the 2% Notes due to failure to close an anticipated new financing. Therefore, the amendment to 6% Notes and 2% Notes took effective and the Purchasers resumed conversion.

During three months ended March 31, 2009, the Purchasers converted $79,455 principal and nil interest into 193,504,557 shares of our common stocks. As of March 31, 2009, face amount of convertible notes outstanding was $1,542,868.

On June 3, 2009, the Company has received Notice of Default from four of 6% Notes purchasers for reason of the Company’s failure to timely file registration or effect registration. However, the company believes that such Notes Purchasers' claim is not valid and has not made any provision for Liquidated damages in this regard.

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

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2009 contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements that include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements concerning our expectations regarding our working capital requirements, financing requirements, business, growth prospects, competition and results of operations, and other statements of expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends, and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2009 involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained herein.

Overview

The Company took its present corporate form in March 2004 when shareholders of Kiwa Bio-Tech Products Group Ltd. (“Kiwa BVI”), a company originally organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on June 5, 2002 and Tintic Gold Mining Company (“Tintic”), a corporation originally incorporated in the state of Utah on June 14, 1933 to perform mining operations in Utah, entered into a share exchange transaction. The share exchange transaction left the shareholders of Kiwa BVI owning a majority of Tintic and Kiwa BVI a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tintic. For accounting purposes this transaction was treated as an acquisition of Tintic by Kiwa BVI in the form of a reverse triangular merger and a recapitalization of Kiwa BVI and its wholly owned subsidiary, Kiwa Bio-Tech Products (Shandong) Co., Ltd. (“Kiwa Shandong”). On July 21, 2004, we completed our reincorporation in the State of Delaware.

We have established two subsidiaries in China: (1) Kiwa Shandong in 2002, a wholly-owned subsidiary, engaging in bio-fertilizer business, and (2) Tianjin Kiwa Feed Co., Ltd. (“Kiwa Tianjin”) in July 2006, engaging in bio-enhanced feed business, of which we hold 80% equity.

In June 2008, Kiwa Shandong received approval documents from the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC, authorizing Kiwa Shandong to wholesale fertilizer products of other manufacturers, including chemical fertilizers, complex fertilizers and compound fertilizers. Based on applicable tax laws in China, Kiwa Shandong’s new business items will be exempt from value-added tax. Kiwa Shandong is expected to engage in the new business activities after obtaining further approvals from other relevant authorities. Management believes such operations will also enlarge the sales volume of our bio-fertilizer products.

We generated approximately $0.66 million and $2.2 million in revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, reflecting a decrease of approximately $1.5 million or 69.9%. We incurred a net loss of $818,125 (including non-cash expenses of $374,037) and $686,195 (including non-cash expenses of approximately $290,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

As of March 31, 2009, the Company had cash of $16,917. Due to our limited revenues from sales and continuing losses, we have relied on the proceeds from the sale of our equity securities and loans from both unrelated and related parties to provide the resources necessary to fund the development of our business plan and operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, related parties advanced $161,917 in total to the Company, which was partly offset by repayment to related party of $72,328. These funds are insufficient to execute our business plan as currently contemplated. Management is currently looking for alternative sources of capital to fund our operations.

Going Concern

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the consolidated financial statements do not purport to represent the realizable or settlement values.

As of March 31, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $13,498,526, of which $818,125 (including non-cash expenses of $374,037) was incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2009. Revenue from both bio-fertilizer and bio-enhanced feed business was lower during the first quarter of 2009 as compared with the same period of 2008. At the same time, gross profit margin of bio-fertilizer business and bio-enhanced feed business both remain in low level. We currently do not have sufficient revenues to support our business activities and we expect operating losses to continue. We will require additional capital to fund our operations.

As of March 31, 2009, our current liabilities were $8,449,421, which exceeded current assets by $4,635,278, representing a current ratio of 0.45 and a quick ratio 0.041; comparably, on December 31, 2008, our current liabilities exceeded current assets by $4,000,056, resulting in a current ratio of 0.49 and a quick ratio of 0.06. The 6% Notes will become due on June 29, August 15, 2009 and October 31, 2009, respectively. If we can achieve the necessary financing to increase our working capital, we believe the Company will be well-positioned to further increase sales of our products and to generate more revenues in the future. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining this financing or in increasing our sales revenue if we do obtain the financing.

Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinion issued in connection with our financial statements for the latest six years, which states that the financial statements raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to make operations profitable or obtain additional funding will determine our ability to continue as a going concern.

Trends and Uncertainties in Regulation and Government Policy in China

Agricultural Policy Changes in China

Economic growth in China has averaged 9.5% over the past two decades and seems likely to continue at that pace for some time. Per the China Statistics Bureau, gross domestic product in 2007 increased 11.4% over levels in 2006. However, China now faces an imbalance between urban and rural environments as well as the manufacturing and agricultural industries. Since 2004, the Chinese central government has consecutively announced a so-called No. 1 Document each year concerning the countryside. The latest No.1 document unveiled on January 30, 2008 contains a wide range of policies aimed at promoting sustainable development of agriculture, for example, by promoting the income level of eight-hundred million Chinese farmers, strengthening supervision of farm inputs and actively developing green-food and organic food. In October 2008, the Communist Party of China Central Committee approved the Decision on Major Issues Concerning the Advancement of Rural Reform and Development, which promises to strengthen the position of agriculture and double farmers’ income in 12 years. We should benefit from these favorable policies as farmers will retain more of their income and will most likely spend some of that income on our products, resulting in greater sales. In addition, we anticipate receiving additional governmental support in marketing our products to farmers due to additional procedural changes included with the new policy.

Foreign Investment Policy Change in China

On March 16, 2007, China’s parliament, the National People’s Congress, adopted the Enterprise Income Tax Law, which took effective on January 1, 2008. The new income tax law sets unified income tax rate for domestic and foreign companies at 25% and abolishes the favorable policy for foreign invested enterprises. As a result subsidiaries established in China in the future will not enjoy the original favorable policy unless they are certified as qualified high and new technology enterprises.

According to the enterprise income tax law previously in effect, our PRC subsidiaries, Kiwa Shandong and Kiwa Tianjin, were exempt from corporate income taxes for their first two profitable years and were entitled to a 50% tax reduction for the succeeding three years. Now that the new income tax law is in effect, fiscal year 2008 is regarded as the first profitable year even if Kiwa Shandong or Kiwa Tianjin are not profitable that year; thereby narrowing the time period when the favorable tax treatment may be available to us.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions.

The following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. In addition, you should refer to our accompanying financial statements and the related notes thereto, for further discussion of our accounting policies.

Accounts Receivables

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts when amounts are not considered fully collectable. Generally speaking, the Company’s credit policy is to provide 100% bad debt provision for the amounts outstanding over 365 days after the deduction of the amount subsequently settled after the balance sheet date, which management believes is consistent with industry practice in the China region. We also provide 100% bad debt provision to those accounts receivable being outstanding for less than 365 days but specifically identified as uncollectable.

As of March 31, 2009, there was $177,654 in accounts receivable over 365 days old. We established a doubtful accounts reserve for the full amount based on our policy of recording a provision for total accounts receivable over one year.

Terms of our sales vary from cash on delivery to a credit term up to three to twelve months. Depending on the results of our credit investigations, we require our customers to pay between 20% and 60% of the purchase price of an order placed prior to shipment, depending on the results of our credit investigations, prior to shipment. The remaining balance is due within twelve months, unless other terms are approved by management. The agriculture-biotechnology market in China is in the early stages of development and we are still in the process of exploring the new market. We may also distribute our bio-products to special wholesalers with favorable payment terms with a focus on the future. We maintain a policy that all sales are final and we do not allow returns. However, in the event of defective products, we may allow customers to exchange the defective products for new products within the quality guarantee period. In the event of any exchange, the customers pay all transportation expenses.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the weighted average method, and net realizable value. Work in progress and finished goods are composed of direct material, direct labor and a portion of manufacturing overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Our long-lived assets consist of property, equipment and intangible assets. As of March 31, 2009, the net value of property and equipment and of intangible assets was $979,646 and $136,746, respectively, which represented approximately 19.0% and 2.7% of our total assets, respectively.

We periodically evaluate our investment in long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the net carrying amount may not be recoverable. Our judgments regarding potential impairment are based on legal factors, market conditions and operational performance indicators, among others. In assessing the impairment of property and equipment, we make assumptions regarding the estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. If these estimates or the related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets.

Based on our analysis, we charged $639,492 as loss from impairment of long-lived assets in fiscal 2008. No such costs were charged during three months ended March 31, 2009.

Fair Value of Warrants and Options

We have adopted SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” to recognize warrants relating to loans and warrants issued to consultants as compensation as derivative instruments in our consolidated financial statements.

We also adopt SFAS No. 123(R) “Share Based Payment” to recognize options granted to employees as derivative instruments in our consolidated financial statements.

We calculate fair value of the warrants and options with Black-Schole Model.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue for our products in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” as amended by SAB No. 104, “Revenue Recognition.” Sales represent the invoiced value of goods, net of value added tax, supplied to customers, and are recognized upon delivery of goods and passage of title.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence attributable to the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company establishes a valuation when it is more likely than not that the assets will not be recovered.

Major Customers and Suppliers

Bio-fertilizer Products

We had a total of 13 customers as of March 31, 2009, of which our top three customers accounted for 31.7%, 15.3% and 13.9% of our net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. We had a total of 14 customers as of March 31, 2008, of which our top two customers accounted for 63.8% and 17.2% of our net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008, respectively. No other single customer accounted for more than 13% of our revenues.

Our top three suppliers accounted for 42.6%, 12.9% and 11.5% of our net purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2009. Comparably, our top four suppliers accounted for 24.0%, 16.8%, 16.4% and 12.8% of our net purchase during the three months ended March 31, 2008. Historically our existing suppliers have met our needs. In addition, the raw materials used in our bio-fertilizer products are widely available from a variety of alternative sources.

Bio-enhanced Feed

As of March 31, 2009, we had 35 customers in total. Our three largest customers accounted for 12.9%, 10.9% and 9.7% of our net sales, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we had 50 customers in total. Our three largest customers accounted for 15%, 9.1% and 6.0% of our net sales respectively.

Our three largest suppliers accounted for 42.8%, 12.1% and 9.0% of our net purchases for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Raw materials used in our production of bio-enhanced feed products are available from a wide variety of alternative sources.

Results of Operations

Results of Operations for Three Months Ended March 31, 2009

Net Sales

Net sales were $658,524 and $2,184,271 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, representing a decrease of $1,525,747 or 69.6%. The decrease is mainly due to quick reduction in net sales of our principal operations, including our bio-fertilizer business and bio-enhanced feed business in the first quarter of 2009.

Net sales from bio-fertilizer decreased $139,214 or 94.0% from $148,104 in first quarter of 2008 to $8,890 in the same period of 2009. During three months ended March 31, 2009, limited capital resources has lowered Kiwa Shandong’s capability of purchasing raw materials. Meanwhile, our efforts in boosting sales revenue were partially offset by request to customers of cash payment at the time of purchasing.

Revenue generated from our bio-enhanced feed business reduced $1,386,533 or 68.1% from $2,036,167 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $649,634 for the same period in 2009. The significant decrease of sales revenue was mainly due to adjustment to product mix by reducing the amount of production and sales of low-profit-margin fowl feed.

Cost of Sales

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, cost of sales was $648,851, representing a decrease of $1,472,715 or 69.4%, compared with $2,121,566 for the same period of 2008. The sharp decrease of cost of sales was mainly attributable to reduction of revenue.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $9,673. In comparison, gross profit for the same period in 2008 was $62,705, representing a decrease of 53,032 or 84.6%.

	Bio-fertilizer						Changes 09 - 08						Bio-enhanced feed						Changes 09 - 08

The gross profit margin for our bio-enhanced feed business increased from 0.9% to 1.4%. The slight increase in gross profit margin in the bio-enhanced feed business was due to adjustment of product mix of reducing amount of production and sales of low-profit-margin fowl feeds.

Comparably, as of December 31, 2008, our current liabilities exceeded current assets by $4,000,056, denoting current ratio of 0.49:1 and quick ratio of 0.062:1.

As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had cash of $16,917 and $18,986, respectively. Changes in cash balances are outlined as follows:

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, our operations utilized cash of $127,330 as compared with $331,218 in the same period of 2008. Cash was mainly used for working capital for our bio-fertilizer and bio-enhanced feed businesses and public company operation.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we generated $88,667 from financing activities, consisting of loans from related parties of $161,917, which was offset by repayment of $72,328 to related parties and long-term borrowings of $922.

We are actively looking for new sources of capital. To the extent that we are unable to successfully raise the capital necessary to fund our future cash requirements on a timely basis and under acceptable terms and conditions, we will not have sufficient cash resources to maintain operations, and may have to curtail operations and consider a formal or informal restructuring or reorganization.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

All of our revenues and the majority of our expenses and liabilities incurred are in RMB. Thus, our revenues and operating results may be impacted by exchange rate fluctuations of RMB. Up to now we have not reduced our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations by using hedging transactions or any other measures to avoid our exchange rate risks. Accordingly, we may experience economic losses and negative impacts on earnings and equity as a result of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
