● | 51% of the registered equity of Baoqing County Lvxin Paddy Rice Plant Specialized Cooperative (“Lvxin”), a company registered in China on February 9, 2012. Lvxin is an integrated agricultural company providing self-planting paddy, sales and services to its customers. |
Reorganization
On May 16, 2018, the Company completed a corporate reorganization to combine several controlled entities (now referred to as the “subsidiaries”) into Organic Agricultural. The specific transactions related to this reorganization are as follows:
On March 31, 2017, Hao Shuping and the shareholders of Lvxin signed an Equity Transfer Agreement, whereby shareholders of Lvxin transferred 51% of the controlling interest in Lvxin to Hao Shuping. Hao Shuping agreed to pay the Lvxin shareholders RMB 2,029,586 (US$305,472) in cash and cause the company that would become Organic Agricultural to issue to them 152,736 shares (valued at US$152,736). Hao Shuping and the shareholders of Lvxin also signed an irrevocable supplemental agreement that gave Hao Shuping voting and managerial control over Lvxin. By June 22, 2018, Tianci Liangtian paid off all consideration to Lvxin’s former shareholders.
On January 1, 2018, pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement between Hao Shuping and Tianci Liangtian, Hao Shuping transferred his 51% controlling interest in Lvxin to Tianci Liangtian. As control of both entities resided with Hao Shuping, we have accounted for the combination of Lvxin with Tianci Liangtian as a transaction between entities under common control.

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
● | On January 8, 2018, the shareholders of Tianci Liangtian transferred ownership of Tianci Liangtian to Organic Agricultural HK, which is wholly owned by Organic Agricultural (Samoa) Co., Ltd. (“Organic Agricultural Samoa”), a privately held limited company registered in Samoa on December 6, 2017. |

Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however, actual results could differ from those estimates. One significant item subject to such estimates and assumptions is the inventory valuation allowances. These estimates are often based on complex judgments and assumptions that management believes to be reasonable but are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash consists of cash on hand and bank deposits, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use. All highly liquid investments with original stated maturities of three months or less are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents approximate or equal fair value due to their short-term nature. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and cash in bank, as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgment regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts.
Effective April 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. ASC 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received when selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining the fair value for the assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or for similar assets and liabilities, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
There were no transfers between level 1, level 2 or level 3 measurements during the three and nine months ended December 31 2018 and 2017.
Financial assets and liabilities of the Company primarily consists of cash, prepayments & deferred expenses, inventories, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, customer deposits, due to related parties, advances for shares to be issued and other payables. As at December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the carrying values of these financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Functional currency and foreign currency translation
An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. Normally that is the currency of the environment in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. Management’s judgment is essential to determine the functional currency by assessing various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements. The functional currency of the Company is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB’), except the functional currency of Organic Agricultural HK is the Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”), and the functional currency of Organic Agricultural Samoa and Organic Agricultural is the United States dollar (“US Dollars” or “$”). The reporting currency of these consolidated financial statements is in US Dollars.
The financial statements of the Company, which are prepared using the RMB, are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, the US Dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at each reporting period end date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average rates prevailing during each reporting period, and shareholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from these transactions are included in operations.
The exchange rates used for foreign currency translation are as follows:
For the Three Months Ended December 31, | ||||||||||

Income taxes
The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred income taxes for the differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statements and income tax purposes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for operating losses and for tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740-10-30 requires income tax positions to meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10-30, tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Under ASC 740-10-40, previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met.
The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Therefore, the actual liability may be materially different from our estimates, which could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities or the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
Lvxin products sales and services have been exempt from enterprise income tax, according to the “PRC Income Tax Law” Article 27 (1)”, income from agricultural, forestry, animal husbandry and fisheries Industries shall be exempt from business tax.
Earnings (loss) per share
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income (loss) divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of contracts to issue ordinary common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. The computation of diluted EPS includes the estimated impact of the exercise of contracts to purchase common stock using the treasury stock method and the potential shares of converted common stock associated with the convertible debt using the if-converted method. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase earnings per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
In July 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The update changes the classification of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. The update also clarifies existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. The update is effective retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for all companies in any interim or annual period. The adoption of ASU No.2017-11 will not have an effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. This pronouncement was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted the new standard using the full retrospective application, and the adoption did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures for any period.
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). The ASU clarifies the definition of business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2018 and subsequent interim periods with no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). The amendment in this update affects entities with transactions included within the scope of Topic 606, The scope of that Topic includes entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services (that are an output of the entity’s ordinary activities) in exchange for consideration. The amendments are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, the amendments in ASU 2016-10 provide more detailed guidance, including additional implementation guidance and examples in the following key areas: 1) identifying performance obligations and 2) licenses of intellectual property. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”). The amendments do not change the core principles of the standard, but clarify the guidance on assessing collectability, presenting sales taxes, measuring noncash consideration and certain transition matters. This update becomes effective concurrently with ASU No. 2014-09. The Company adopted ASU 2016-12 effective April 1, 2018.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. This accounting standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
We do not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.
NOTE 3. PREPAYMENTS AND DEFERRED EXPENSES
Prepayments are reported as prepayments and deferred expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred expenses include prepaid paddy planting land rent and Tianci Liangtian office rent. As of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, prepayments and deferred expenses were $99,703 and $526,100, respectively.
NOTE 4. INVENTORIES
Inventories are generally kept for a short period of time. Inventories comprise of growing costs, harvesting costs, raw materials, finished goods (including harvesting agricultural produce Paddy and manufactured goods rice and other products).
Growing costs, also referred to as cultural costs, consist of seeds, cultivation, fertilization and soil improvement, pest control and irrigation.
Harvest costs are comprised of labor and equipment expenses incurred to harvest and deliver crops to the packinghouses.
Raw materials include all purchasing cost.
Harvesting agricultural produce Paddy is grown in Lvxin’s planting base. This crop has distinct growing, harvest, and selling periods, each of which lasts approximately four to six months. During the growing period, cultural costs are capitalized, as they are associated with benefiting and preparing the crops for the harvest and selling period. During the harvest and selling period, harvest costs and cultural costs are expensed when incurred and capitalized costs are amortized as cost of planting in accordance with LIFO recognition of historical costs.
Most cultural costs, including amortization of capitalized cultural costs and certain other costs, such as indirect labor including farm supervision and management and irrigation that benefit multiple crops are allocated to crops on a per-kilogram basis.
The cost of Harvesting agricultural produce Paddy includes all relevant expenditures incurred before and during the entire cultivation period and after harvesting, mainly including seed, fertilizer and other production materials, land rent, labor, and other related costs, subject to impairment if the cost of inventory exceeds market value.

As a result, the Company provided a 100% allowance on all deferred tax assets of approximately $172,000 and $0 related to its operations in the PRC as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The valuation allowance has increased by $172,000 and $0 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

NOTE 5. INCOME TAX (Continued)
The Company has incurred losses from its United States operations during all periods presented. Accordingly, management provided a 100% valuation allowance of approximately $15,000 and $0 against the deferred tax assets related to the Company’s United States operations as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, respectively, because the deferred tax benefits of the net operating loss carry forward in the United States is not likely to be utilized.
The Company is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States as well as by the taxing authorities in China, where the firm has significant business operations. The tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction. The table below presents the earliest tax year that remain subject to examination by major jurisdiction.
U.S. Federal | March 31, 2018 | |
China | March 31, 2018 |
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some or all of any deferred tax assets will not be realized.
United States
On December 22, 2017, the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (“The Act”) was enacted. Under the provisions of the Act, the U.S. corporate tax rate decreased from 35% to 21%. Accordingly, we have remeasured our deferred tax assets on our net operating loss carryforwards in the U.S at the lower enacted tax rate of 21%. However, this remeasurement had no effect on our income tax expense as we have provided a 100% valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets previously.
Additionally, the Tax Act imposes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriation of historical earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and future foreign earnings are subject to U.S. taxation. The transition tax, if applicable, is a one-time income tax which, if elected, can be paid over 8 years. However, this one-time transition tax had no effect on our income tax expense as we have no undistributed foreign earnings prior to December 22, 2017 since we have cumulative foreign losses.
Samoa
Organic Agricultural (Samoa) Co., Ltd was incorporated in Samoa and, under the current laws of Samoa, it is not subject to income tax.
China
Tianci Liantian and Yuxinqi are subject to a 25% standard enterprise income tax in the PRC. Income tax was $0 at December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Lvxin products sales and services have been exempt from enterprise income tax, according to the “PRC Income Tax Law” Article 27 (1), which states that income from agricultural, forestry, animal husbandries and fisheries Industry shall be exempt from business income tax.

NOTE 8. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENT
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.
The Company was not subject to any material loss contingencies as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of such financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to useful lives of real estate assets, bad debts, impairment, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
Corporate Reorganization: Basis for Accounting
On May 16, 2018, the Company completed a corporate reorganization to combine several controlled entities (now referred to as the “subsidiaries”) into Organic Agricultural Company Limited. The specific transactions related to this reorganization are as follows:
On March 31, 2017, Hao Shuping acquired the controlling equity interest in Lvxin and entered into an agreement with the shareholders of Lvxin that gave him managerial control over the operations of Lvxin. On January 1, 2018, Hao Shuping assigned his interest in Lvxin to Tianci Liangtian, an entity that he had recently organized and controlled 100%.
On January 8, 2018, the equity owners of Tianci Liangtian assigned ownership of Tianci Liangtian to Organic Agricultural HK. Hao Shuping had recently organized Organic Agricultural HK in Hong Kong as a subsidiary of Organic Agricultural Samoa, a holding company in which Hao Shuping held the 100% controlling interest. |
On May 16, 2018, Organic Agricultural Company Limited acquired 100% ownership of Organic Agricultural Samoa in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued to the shareholders of Organic Agricultural Samoa. As a result, Organic Agricultural Company Limited became the beneficial owner of each holding company listed above and of the 51% equity interest in Lvxin, the Company’s operating entity.
The aforesaid series of transactions was accounted for as a business combination by entities under common control in accordance with ASC 805-50-30-5. Accordingly, the consolidated assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries have been presented at their carrying values at the date of the transaction; the Company’s historical stockholders’ equity has been retroactively restated to the first period presented, and the financial statements included in this Form 10Q reflect the consolidation of the results of operations and cash flows of Tianci Liangtian, its subsidiary Yuxinqi, and Lvxin since their respective inceptions.
Plan of Operations
Our subsidiary, Lvxin, has been involved in growing, threshing and selling unmilled rice since 2012, using leased farmland and the part-time labor of local farmers. During the 2018 fiscal year, which ended on March 31, 2018, Lvxin concentrated its leasing in the selenium-rich areas on the Sanjiang Plain. As a result, at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2018 Lvxin held a harvested inventory of selenium-enriched paddy of $187,604 and $690,283. Because of the need to increase the selenium in the diets of many residents of China, particularly in the northeastern portion of China where Lvxin’s operations are located, we believe that this recent focus on production of selenium-enriched paddy will allow us to collect premium prices for our paddy.
19 |
Our other subsidiary, Yuxinqi, was organized in February 2018, and has only recently initiated its business plan. During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, Yuxinqi recorded its first sales of rice and other foodstuffs. Yuxinqi will devote its efforts to marketing and distribution of a range of selenium-enriched agricultural products.
We plan to continue to expand our operations. Over the next twelve months, we will concentrate on the following areas to grow our operations:
● |
Introducing new products – We intend to expand our product offerings in order to reach new markets and reduce the harsh seasonality of our current revenue streams, which concentrate revenue in the first and fourth calendar quarters, the period of harvest and sale of paddy. |
● |
Seeking capital for expansion - Our management will be exploring financing options that will enable us to increase the farmland we have under lease, increase production, and expand our product offerings. |
● |
Expanding our marketing efforts – Our marketing personnel will endeavor to expand awareness of our brand, open new marketing channels, and educate the nation about the health benefits of selenium-enriched rice. |

During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, the Company's subsidiary, Yuxinqi, recorded its first sales of milled rice and other foodstuffs. As our focus was on the rollout of that marketing operation, our revenue and cost of sales was significantly changed from prior periods:

As our results during the year ended March 31, 2018 indicate, where all sales for the first nine months of the fiscal year were recorded in the third quarter, the sale of paddy is extremely seasonal. This occurs because of the seasonal nature of paddy production, for which the period from April through September is the planting and growing season. Our development of Yuxinqi as a marketing enterprise with focus beyond paddy is largely caused by our desire to generate revenue year-round.
Because we had insignificant sales of paddy during the nine months ended December 31, 2018, we likewise had insignificant cost of sales attributable to paddy. The costs incurred in planting and growing paddy are capitalized as additions to inventory until the harvest season, when the capitalized costs are amortized against sales. Therefore costs of sales of only $8,778 and $10,856, respectively, were attributable to paddy sales. The remainder of our cost of sales, $127,154, was attributable to the sales of foodstuffs by Yuxinqi.
During nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred $853,680 and $43,110, and $121,070 and 43,110 for three months, respectively, in operating expenses, the greater portion of which was attributable to the costs of our operations - i.e. salaries and office expenses. Salaries and benefits expense was particularly high during the nine months ended December 31, 2018 because in May 2018 the Company granted a total of 290,000 shares to 8 employees, which resulted in $377,000 of additional compensation expense. representing the fair value of those shares on the date issued.
In addition, during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, we incurred advertising and promotion expenses of $16,808 and $56,156, respectively, for the purpose of promoting the Company’s expansion. We also incurred expenses relating to our efforts to become a reporting company in the United States, including legal and accounting fees, fees for a transfer agent and the like.
The Company’s operations produced a net loss of $45,920 for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and $773,578 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. However, because we own only 51% of the equity in Lvxin, U.S. GAAP directs us to record all of the revenue and expenses attributable to the operations of Lvxin, but to then offset the portion of net income or net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest. Therefore, we eliminated $86,992 of the net income attributable to Lvxin during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and eliminated $66,745 of the net income attributable to Lvxin during the nine months ended December 31, 2018. As a result, the net loss attributable to the Company's shareholders was $132,912 for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and $840,323 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s operations have been financed primarily by loans from related parties. The shareholders of Lvxin financed the operations of that entity, and their loans have been repaid. Recently, Hao Shuping has been the primary source of financing for Tianci Liangtian and Yuxinqi. As a result, at December 31, 2018, the Company’s loans payable to related parties totaled $240,018 (a decrease from $571,650 at March 31, 2018), which was owed to members of the Company’s management. This left the Company with significant liquidity, as its working capital totaled $849,492. Working capital increased by $142,501 during the nine months ended December 31, 2018, primarily because $425,749 that had been advanced for the purchase of shares during the prior fiscal year was reclassified to shareholders’ equity when Organic Agricultural Company Limited was organized in April 2018 and the shares were issued.
The largest component of working capital is inventory, which is measured by the expenses incurred for rice in the field and in the warehouse. It is noteworthy that Lvxin had no accounts receivable at either December 31, 2018 or March 31, 2018. This occurs because the payment terms given by Lvxin to its customers are very constricted: most sales are made with COD (cash on delivery) terms, and no customer is afforded more than three days to complete payment.
Cash Flows

The Company only recorded $5,214 of cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2017, as most cash generated by operations during that year was payable to the individuals who were shareholders of Lvxin at that time.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2018, our operations used net cash of $389,092. Net cash used in operations was primarily the result of expenses relating to our efforts to become a reporting company in the United States, including legal and accounting fees, fees for a transfer agent and the like, as well as $413,435 in cash expended to increase our inventories. We partially offset these uses of cash by utilizing $114,079 in prepayments, $205,948 provided by shareholders and by receiving $190,258 in customer deposits.
Our investing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2018 used $232,897. Investing activities consisted of:
l | $ 10,494 used in purchases of fixed assets; |
l | $ 222,403 used to pay the purchase price for 51% of Lvxin. |

Our financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2018 generated $240,956. Financing activities consisted of:
● | $335,250 in proceeds from sales of common stock. |
Cash flows during the nine months ended December 31, 2018 were primarily impacted by our absence of revenue. For that reason, the $389,092 in cash used in operations (primarily to fund the $413,435 addition to our inventories) partially offset by the sale of our parent company’s common stock for an aggregate capital contribution of $377,000.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluations of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management team, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of December 31, 2018. Based on this evaluation, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures have the following material weaknesses:
· | The relatively small number of employees who are responsible for accounting functions prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system. |
· | Our internal financial staff lack expertise in identifying and addressing complex accounting issued under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. |
· | Our Chief Financial Officer is not familiar with the accounting and reporting requirements of a U.S. public company. |
· | We have not developed sufficient documentation concerning our existing financial processes, risk assessment and internal controls. |
Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s system of disclosure controls and procedures was not effective as of December 31, 2018 for the purposes described in this paragraph.
