Part 1 Business

1. Back Ground：

Sino Agro Food, Inc.

SIAF is an agriculture technology and natural food holding company with principal operations in the People’s Republic of China. The Company acquires and maintains equity stakes in a cohesive portfolio of companies that SIAF forms according to its core mission to produce, distribute, market and sell natural, sustainable protein food and produce, primarily seafood and cattle, to the rapidly growing middle class in China. SIAF provides financial oversight and strategic direction for each company, and for the interoperation between companies, stressing vertical integration between the levels of the Company’s subsidiary food chain. The Company owns or licenses patents, proprietary methods, and other intellectual properties in its areas of expertise. SIAF provides technology consulting and services to joint venture partners to construct and operate food businesses, primarily producing wholesale fish and cattle. Further joint ventures market and distribute the wholesale products as part of an overall “farm to plate” concept and business strategy.

The Company (SIAF) has been established since 2007 with major activities in agriculture industry producing food produces and products (as primary producer) using modern technologies introduced and transferred mainly from Australia. SIAF became a SEC fully reporting company since 2010. The Company employs a strategy of vertical integration from primary production through processing, distribution and marketing of high quality, organic food products in the food value chain. China’s fast growing middle class is creating rapidly rising demand for gourmet and high-quality protein food. 

The Company’s operations and strategy are executed through a number of subsidiaries located in China, and the Company contributes financial oversight and strategic direction to otherwise independent management teams which employ the Company’s intellectual property and proprietary methods.

The Company has been severely impacted by the effects of COVID-19 “Pandemic 2020”, which effects continue to this day as such presently the Company is no longer a fully reporting company and has dropped from quoting on OTCQX to OTC Pink sheet from September 2020 onward due primarily to the Company’s auditors, which are located in Hong Kong, have been unable to do on-site inspections of the Company’s operations in China due to COVID-19 restrictions to complete the audit of 2019, 2020 and2021. So Basically SIAF is delinquent in its Form 10-Ks for fiscal year end 2019, 2020 and 2021, Form 10-Qs for periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, June 30, 2020 and 2021, September 30, 2020 and 2021, and March 31, 2022. It will need to amend and restate filings going back to December 31, 2019 to be able to apply to become a fully reporting company.

The aggregate market value of the voting stock held by non-affiliates of the issuer on May 11th 2022, based upon the $0.039 per share closing price of such stock on that date, was in round figure of $2,353,914.00.

Whereas

Whereas

B.1. Division (1) of leasing of operations:

The operation of Hunan Shenghua A Power Agriculture Co. Ltd. (“HSA”) is in manufacturing and sales of organic fertilizer. From 1^st October 2019 the Company contracted out its manufacturing and sales of organic fertilizer to its operational management; as such income of HSA is derived mainly from said leasing contract.

Plantation operation refers to the operations of Jiangmen City Heng Sheng Tai Agriculture Development Co. Ltd. (“JHST”) in the HU Plantation business where dragon fruit flowers (dried and fresh), crops of vegetables and immortal vegetables (dried) are being grown and sold to wholesale and retail markets. JHST’s financial statements are consolidated into the financial statements of Macau EIJI Company Ltd.

(“MEIJI”) as one entity. From 1^st October 2019 the Company contracted out its plantation operation to its operational management; as such income of JHST is derived mainly from said leasing contract.

Cattle Farm Division refers to the operations of Cattle Farm 1 under Jiangmen City Hang Mei Cattle Farm Development Co. Ltd (“JHMC”) where cattle are being grown, fatten and sold live to third party livestock wholesalers who sell them mainly to Guangzhou and Beijing livestock wholesale markets. The financial statements of JHMC are consolidated into MEIJI as one entity along with MEIJI’s operation in the consulting and service for development of other cattle farms (e.g., Cattle Farm 2) or related projects. From 1^st October 2019 the Company contracted out its cattle operation to its operational management; as such incomes of JHMC are derived mainly from said leasing contract.

The table (C) below shows MEIJI’s 2021 leasing contract’s financial results:

SJAP: The cattle and beef divisional operation of our partially owned subsidiary Qinghai Sanjiang A Power Agriculture Co., Ltd. (“SJAP”) in manufacturing and sales of organic fertilizer, bulk livestock feed, concentrated livestock feed, and the growing and sales of live cattle inclusive of: (a) cattle that are not being slaughtered in our own slaughter house operated by Qinghai Zhong He Meat Products Co., Limited (“QZH”) are sold live to third party livestock wholesalers, and (b) cattle that are sold to QZH and slaughtered and deboned and packed by QZH; and the sales of meats deboned and packed by QZH that are sold to various meat distributors, wholesalers and super market chains and our own retail butcher stores etc. QZH was a fully owned subsidiary of SJAP; as such, the financial statements of these three companies (SJAP, QZH and HSA) were consolidated into our wholly owned subsidiary, A Power Agro Agriculture Development (Macau) Limited (“APWAM”), as one entity. SJAP and QZH are both variable interest entities over which we exercised significant control. As of December 30, 2017, QZH was derecognized as variable interest entity and its operating profit and/or loss no longer accretive to the Company’s 45% holding in SJAP, a variable interest entity. On September 30^th 2019, Mr. Solomon Lee resigned as the Chairman of SJAP resulting in categorization of SJAP as an Investor in Associate from a subsidiary status, and SJAP contracted out its business operations to its existing operational management, as such from 1^st October 2019 it is not a variable interest entity and SJAP was reclassified as an unconsolidated equity investee and SJAP’s cattle and beef operation is discontinued on same date.

SJAP became an investee of SIAF since 01102019 such that its financial is not detailed in SIAF’s consolidated financials but reported under investments in investees.

Summary of Tri-way’s historical events:

TWL: Up until 5^th October 2016, our divisional fishery production and sales operation was with our fully owned subsidiary Tri-way Industries Limited (TWL or Tri-way, a private company incorporated in Hong Kong ) and our 75% owned subsidiary Jiangman Fishery Development Co. Ltd. (JFD, a limited liability company incorporated in China) operating one indoor APM farm in Enping District, Enping City. On 5^th October 2016 we carve out Tri-way that became an unconsolidated investee of the Company resulted with the Company owning 36.6% equity interest in Tri-way derived from (i) 23.89% as a result of retained interest in Tri-way, and (ii) 12.71% acquired in exchange for outstanding debt owed to the Company at the time. An independent appraisal was obtained to determine fair value, and this appraisal resulted in a one-time (deemed) gain of USD 56.9 million for SIAF. In reference to the press release dated January 17, 2017, wherein the Company had indicated that legal due diligence had been completed in relation to the carve-out of its aquaculture operations, the announcement that legal due diligence had been performed had been released in conjunction with what had been the main announcement, which was SIAF wishing to convey to its shareholders that JFD had been officially registered as a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise (WFOE) of Tri-way, making it legally eligible for SIAF shareholders to now own shares of Tri-way, directly. Whereas, within August 2016, JFD completed its acquisition of the operation assets of Aqua-farm 2 and 3a, 3b and 4 and 5 and Tri-way acquired the China master license on A Power Recirculating Aquaculture System (we called that APRAS Technology) from Capital Award (CA) with all said acquisitions’ considerations were satisfied by the issuance of Tri-way common stocks and Tri-way registered its fully paid up share capital at US$345 million with the Hong Kong Company Register. By mid-year 2017, the Aqua-farm 4 which was an in-door farm of 18,000 square meter (m2) enclosed built-up area situating on 60 Chinese Mu (39,600 m2) of land zoned building construction permissible; started its production operation prematurely while Aqua-farm 4 was about 85% completed. Aqua-farm 5 was the out-door farm consisting many open dams constructed using CA’s Open Dam Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (that we called the ODRAS technology and systems) situated on 1,000 Mu (about 660,000 m2) of aquaculture land started partial production from quarter (1) of 2017 while the construction of the ODRAS dams were in progresses. We called the development of the Aqua-farm 4 and 5 “the Mega Farm Project” and both farms collectively as the “Mega-farms”.

Somehow, Mega Farms performed poorly with Aqua-farm 4 cumulated many loses from mid-2017 to mid-2019; and Aqua-farm 5 suffered badly resulted from damages and loses caused primarily by the two strongest typhoons ever experienced in the Guangzhou districts in 2017 and in 2018. Therefore, during 2017 to 2019 Tri-way’s major revenues and incomes were generated mainly from the operations of AFF 1, 2, 3a & 3b and other sub-contracted farms.

Furthermore, coupling the said poor performances of the Mega farms, impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020 caused much financial loses for AFF 1, 2,and 3 as well as to Tri-way’s sub-contracted farms incurring losses over $87 million and $118 million for the fiscal year of 2020 and 2021 respectively due primarily to its effects caused all farms to stop work for over 7 months during 2020 without sufficient workers, feed, supplementary, medications, transportation and maintenances etc. to keep the live stocks going and they all died during the period calculating to multiple million pieces (equivalent to multiple of thousand metric tons). It is estimated that it will cost over $80 million in Capital Expenditures and Working Capital and two years to replace said live stocks and to bring the fishery operation of the said AF 1, 2 & 3 back to the revenue and income generated in fiscal year 2019. Impacts of the Covid-19 continued in 2021 thus Tri-way didn’t generate any revenue but loses in 2020 and 2021 and to provide impairment loses over $135 million for the loses of expensive brood stocks and the need to replace many operational plants and equipment etc. At the same time, financials of Tri-way’s China fishery operations could not be audited by its Hong Kong Auditor due to the traveling restrictions caused by the effects of the Covid-19, therefore Tri-way could only file its standalone financial in its annual return to satisfy the requirement of HK Company Register in 2020 and 2021. In order that the said standalone financial could be presented Tri-way had to terminate the WFOE status of JFD. Therefore JFD changed its WFOE status to a Chinese Entity owned status in 2020 with Mr. Solomon Lee as the legal representative of the said Chinese Entity holding ownership of JFD for and on behalf of Tri-way. At that time, although the Change of ownership of JFD to the said Chinese Entity was approved and registered with the China Company Register yet the approval of the China Taxation Authority was not granted until sometimes in February 2022 to allow its disclosure of event such that the change of JFD’s WFOE status to a Chinese owned entity was announced in the 10K 2021 filed during April 2022.

C.1. Division (3) of the Marketing & Trading operation of The Corporate Sector

This division is referring to the trading segment of business operations of the Group named internally under corporate division of Sino Agro Food, Inc., including import/export business, corporate affairs and consulting and service operations provided to projects that are not included in CA’s fishery development activities. Over the years up until end of fiscal year 2019 the corporate division imported mainly live seafood from South Africa countries, Vietnam, Thailand, Russian and other nearby countries and frozen beef from Australia and South America countries; however it is due to the interruptions and adverse impacts caused by the Pandemic COVID-19 made it impossible and unprofitable to continue the imports of live seafood, and the poor political relationship between China and Australia in 2020 induced high risks on the imports of Australian beef. However, over the years the Company has built up a strong base of connections and customers in China that provides an unique opportunity to the Company to develop an additional Trading Platform aiming to generate additional revenues, profits and most importantly positive cash flows, so from July 2020 onward, the corporate division started to explore the opportunities of importing some of the China markets’ niche products. Although in so far the Company achieved minimal financial impacts due mainly to the adversities caused by the impacts of Covid-19 limiting oversea and domestic logistic, air flights and shipping services, restricting custom clearing services, inconstancy of supplies and deliveries and increasing costs and expenses of sales etc. making it extremely difficult to perform the trading activity effectively.

Therefore, there was no sales revenue generated in fiscal year 2020, 2021 and up to 31st March 2022 (Q1 2022) for Division (3).

Nevertheless presently the Company has registered in its book multiple of US$ hundred millions of supplies and sales in locally produced corns (for China domestic end users), imported sugars from Brazil, rape seed oil from Russia and coals from Indonesia for sales in China etc. that will be initiated as soon as the Company will finalize the seed capital needed for the establishment of bank instruments to generate the sizable trades. Once when these trading will be started, collectively they will bring in multiple of US$ tens of millions in gross profit per year to support the Company’s cash flows at reasonable high levels. In this respect, the Company is optimist that the said seed capital will be materialized within a further reasonable period on or before the end of Q2 2022.

C.2. Division (4) of the Project Development of (CA)

This is referring to the fishery operations of Capital Award Inc. (“Capital Award” or “CA”) covering its engineering, technology and consulting service management of fishery and agriculture farms, technology transfers and seafood sales and marketing, where;

Capital Award generated revenues from providing engineering consulting services as turnkey contractors to owners and developers of fishery projects that are being designed and engineered into turnkey contracts by Capital Award in China using its A Power Module Technology Systems (“APM”) as follows:

From January 2020 up to the date of this annual report CA has not been able to do any fishery project or fishery project development due to the effects of the Pandemic COVID-19 as such, there was no revenue generated for fiscal year 2020 and 2021 for Division (4).

CA’s Potential project of 2022Q1:

In July 2020 SIAF became the joint venture partner of the China Africa Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industries (CAJCCI) which is a non-profit organization established in November 2016 by the China and Africa Governments to plan and to implement agriculture projects and related developments in Africa through development fund of US$60 Billion every three years provided by and granted by the China Government to Africa Nations in Agriculture industry projects and developments etc. In March 2021, development project papers in (i). Development of Trading of exporting dried cassavas to China and exporting of plant and equipment from China to Madagascar and developments of cassavas plantations and related value added processing and drying of cassavas on 100,000 acres of land in Madagascar and (ii). Development of goat farms and related value added processing in Madagascar were submitted to CAJCCI and Government of Madagascar; by early May 2021, both CAJCCI and the Government of Madagascar gave consents to both projects. Up until the date of this report, stringent traveling restriction between China and Madagascar has not been relaxed such that we have not been able to send our team members (including various professionals and professionals from CAJCCI) to assist our current Madagascar management teams of two members in Madagascar to start up the Projects but to wait until such time the said traveling restriction can be relaxed before sending staffs to Madagascar hopefully from June 2022 to start up the trading of cassavas and the development of cassavas farms etc.

SJAP formed Qinghai Zhong He Meat Products Co., Limited (“QZH”) , with SJAP would owning 100% equity interest. SJAP formed Qinghai Zhong He Meat Products Co., Limited (“QZH”), with SJAP would owning 100% equity interest. On October 25, 2015, both QZH and new stockholder, Qinghai Quanwang Investment Management Co., Ltd (“QQI”) contributed additional capital of $4,157,682 and $769,941, respectively. As a result, SJAP decreased its equity interest from 100% to 85% and QQI owned a 14% equity interest. In addition, according to investment agreement between QZH and QQI, (i) QQI only enjoy interest 6% annually on its capital contribution and did not enjoy profit distribution; (ii) investment period was 3 years only, and (iii) SJAP shared 100% on profit or loss after deduction 6% interest to QQI and enjoyed 100% voting rights of QZH’s board and stockholders meetings. SJAP disposed its 85% equity interest in QZH for RMB2 (equivalent to $0) for cash and completed on December 30, 2018. As a result, QZH was derecognized as variable interest entity of the company. On September 30th 2019, Mr. Solomon Lee resigned as the Chairman of SJAP resulting in categorization of SJAP as an Investor in Associate from a subsidiary status.

Up until September 30th 2019, revenues have been generated from activities that the Company divided into five stand-alone business divisions or units: (1) Fishery development (in consulting and services), (2) Cattle & Beef (fully integrated activity), (3) Organic Fertilizer, (4) HU Plantation, and (5) Marketing and Trading.

The fully integrated Cattle and Beef business was gradually being scaled down from year 2016 onward after the China Government relaxed its importation policies to allow many countries (i.e. Australia, NZ, Countries of South America and Canada etc.) to import beef into China affecting its domestic cattle rearing and beef industry. SJAP lost in excessive of US$30 million by year ended December 31st 2017 and by March,31th 2019, it reduced its large fully integrated activity into a small operation keeping and maintaining the production of fertilizer at less than 8,000 MT per year comparing to over 35,000 MT per year in 2015 and the production of concentrated live-stock feed at less than 3000 MT per year compares to over 15,000 MT in 2016 and fattening less than 1500 heads of live cattle at its own farm compares to 2015’s around 25,000 heads of live cattle reared and fattening by 20 corporative farms that consisted over 2,000 individual farmers collectively.

From 1st October 2019 onward, SJAP contracted the said small maintaining operation to its existing management.

The Company currently maintains operations of its services in engineering consulting and specializing in the development of agriculture and aquaculture projects whereas operations of its HU Plantation, Asian “Yellow cattle” demonstration farm, and HSA’s manufacturing of fertilizer were contracted out to their respective farm’s management since 30th September 2019.

The Company is now the investor in two Associates originated from subsidiary status namely SJAP and Tri-way; whereas Tri-way is in the aquaculture segment contracting out it’s aqua-farms’ operations (inclusive Aqua-farm 1, 2 and 3 & b) to respective farm’s managements and JFD, it’s fully owned subsidiary in China, has the sole right to market and distribute the said Aqua-farms’ productions by buying from and selling all fishery productions of the said contracted aqua-farms. Operation of Aqua-farm 4 and 5 of the Zhongshen Mega Farm Development ceased since September 30th 2019 failing the Company’s original ambition to become one of the biggest prawn producers in the world by year end of 2024.

Therefore from 1st October 2019 onward, Revenues of the Company are generated from (i). Incomes derived from CA’s Engineering Consulting and services, (ii). Incomes derived from the contractual agreements of JHST, MEIJI and HSA, (iii). CA’s (or the Corporate) marketing and Trading business and (iv). Incomes generated from its investments in SJAP and Tri-way.

The Company’s principal executive office is located at Room 3520 Block A, China Shine Plaza, No. 9 Lin He Xi Road, Tianhe District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, P.R.C., 510610.

The Company has adopted December 31 as its fiscal year end.

SINO AGRO FOOD, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries CA, CS, CH, MEIJI, JHST, JHMC, HSA, APWAM, SAFS and its variable interest entity SJAP. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

SIAF, CA, CS, CH, MEIJI, JHST, JHMC, HSA, APWAM, SAFS, and SJAP are hereafter referred to as (the “Company”).

The Company adopted the accounting pronouncements relating to business combination (primarily contained in ASC Topic 805 “Business Combinations”), including assets acquired and liabilities assumed on arising from contingencies. These pronouncements established principles and requirement for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquisition as well as provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. In addition, these pronouncements eliminate the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the initial recognition and measurement criteria and require an acquirer to develop a systematic and rational basis for subsequently measuring and accounting for acquired contingencies depending on their nature. The Company’s adoption of these pronouncements will have an impact on the manner in which it accounts for any future acquisitions.

The Company adopted the accounting pronouncement on non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This guidance is primarily contained in ASC Topic “Consolidation.” It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this standard has not had material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods covered thereby. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Judgments and estimates of uncertainties are required in applying the Company’s accounting policies in certain areas. The following are some of the areas requiring significant judgments and estimates: determinations of the useful lives of assets, estimates of allowances for doubtful accounts, cash flow and valuation assumptions in performing asset impairment tests of long-lived assets, estimates of the realization of deferred tax assets and inventory reserves.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which replaces numerous requirements in U.S. GAAP, including industry specific requirements, and provides a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018.

The core principle of the new standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This requires companies to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. The Company’s revenues generated mainly from trading of frozen food and sales of agricultural products are recognized at a point in time.

The ASU requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenues.

Multiple-Element Arrangements

To qualify as a separate unit of accounting under ASC 605-25 “Multiple Element Arrangements”, the delivered item must have value to the customer on a standalone basis. The significant deliverables under the Company’s multiple-element arrangements are consulting and service under development contract, commission and management service.

Revenues from the Company’s consulting and services under development contracts are performed under fixed-price contracts. Revenues under long-term contracts are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). Under the percentage-of- completion method, the Company estimates profit as the difference between total estimated revenue and total estimated cost of a contract and recognize that profit over the contract term. The percentage of costs incurred determines the amount of revenue to be recognized. Payment terms are generally defined by the installation contract and as a result may not match the timing of the costs incurred by the Company and the related recognition of revenue. Such differences are recorded as either costs or estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts or billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts. The Company determines a customer’s credit worthiness at the time an order is accepted. Sudden and unexpected changes in a customer’s financial condition could put recoverability at risk.

SINO AGRO FOOD, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The percentage of completion method requires the ability to estimate several factors, including the ability of the customer to meet its obligations under the contract, including the payment of amounts when due. If the Company determines that collectability is not assured, the Company will defer revenue recognition and use methods of accounting for the contract such as the completed contract method until such time as the Company determines that collectability is reasonably assured or through the completion of the project.

For fixed-price contracts, the Company uses the ratio of costs incurred to date on the contract to management’s estimate of the contract’s total costs, to determine the percentage of completion on each contract. This method is used as management considers expended costs to be the best available measure of progression of these contracts. Contract costs include all direct material, subcontract and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as supplies, tool repairs and depreciation. The Company accounts for maintenance and repair services under the guidance of ASC 605 as the services provided relate to construction work. Contract costs incurred to date and expected total contract costs are continuously monitored during the term of the contract. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability arising from contract penalty, change orders and final contract settlements may result in revisions to the estimated profit ability during the contract. These changes, which include contracts with estimated costs in excess of estimated revenues, are recognized as contract costs in the period in which the revisions are determined. Profit incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. At the point the Company anticipates a loss on a contract, the Company estimates the ultimate loss through completion and recognizes that loss in the period in which the loss was identified.

The Company does not provide warranties to customers on a basis customary to the industry, however, customers can claim warranty directly from product manufacturers for defects in equipment or products. Historically, the Company has experienced no warranty claims.

The Company provides various management services to its customers in the P.R.C. based on a negotiated fixed-price contract. The clients usually pay the fees when the services contract is signed and services are rendered. The Company recognizes these services-based revenues from contracts when (i) management services are rendered; (ii) clients recognize the completion of services; and (iii) collectability is reasonably assured. Fees received in advance are recorded as deferred revenue under current liabilities.

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of direct purchase cost of merchandise goods, and related levies. Cost of services consist primarily direct cost and indirect cost incurred to date for development contracts and provision for anticipated losses for development contracts.

Shipping and handling costs related to cost of goods sold are included in general and administrative expenses, which totaled $0 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

Advertising costs are included in general and administrative expenses, which totaled $0, and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

Research and development expenses are included in general and administrative expenses, which totaled $0 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Chinese Renminbi (RMB).

For those entities whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollars, all assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; shareholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and items in the statements of income and of cash flows are translated at the average rate for the period. Because cash flows are translated based on the average translation rate, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported in the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances in the balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statements of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statements of income and comprehensive income, as incurred.

Accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity amounted to $ (49,394,494) as of March 31, 2022 and $ (51,277,535) as of December 31, 2021. The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were translated using an exchange rate of RMB 6.35 to $1.00 and RMB 6.38 to $1.00, respectively. The average translation rates applied to the statements of income and other comprehensive income and of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 were RMB 6.35 to $1.00 and RMB 6.48 to $1.00, respectively.

The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents kept with financial institutions in the P.R.C. are not insured or otherwise protected. Should any of those institutions holding the Company’s cash become insolvent, or should the Company become unable to withdraw funds for any reason, the Company could lose the cash on deposit with that institution.

The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.

The standard credit period for most of the Company’s clients is three months. The collection period over 1 year is classified as long-term accounts receivable. Management evaluates the collectability of the receivables at least quarterly.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) and net realizable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its location and conditions are accounted for as follows:

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs for completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such costs include the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalization when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalization. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

An item of plant and equipment is removed from the accounts upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the consolidated statements of income in the period the item is disposed.

Goodwill is an asset representing the fair economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified or separately recognized. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis at the end of the Company’s fiscal year, or when impairment indicators arise. The Company uses a fair-value-based approach to test for impairment at the level of each reporting unit. The Company directly acquired MEIJI, which is the holding company of JHST that operates the Hu Plantation. As a result of this acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $724,940. This goodwill represents the fair value of the assets acquired in these acquisitions over the cost of the assets acquired.

A master license of stock feed manufacturing technology was acquired and the costs of acquisition are capitalized as proprietary technologies when technological feasibility has been established. Cost of acquisition of stock feed manufacturing technology master license is amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated life of 25 years.

An aromatic cattle-feeding formula was acquired and the costs of acquisition are capitalized as proprietary technologies when technological feasibility has been established. Cost of acquisition on aromatic cattle-feeding formula is amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated life of 20 years.

The cost of sleepy cods breeding technology license is capitalized as proprietary technologies when technological feasibility has been established. Cost of granting sleepy cods breeding technology license is amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated life of 25 years.

Bacterial cellulose technology license and related trade mark are capitalized as proprietary technologies when technological feasibility has been established. Cost of license and related trade mark is amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated life of 20 years.

The Company has determined that technological feasibility is established at the time a working model of products is completed. Proprietary technologies are intangible assets of finite lives. Management evaluates the recoverability of proprietary technologies on an annual basis at the end of the Company’s fiscal year, or when impairment indicators arise. As required by ASC Topic 350 “Intangible - Goodwill and Other”, the Company uses a fair-value-based approach to test for impairment.

Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction as well as acquisition and design fees incurred. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to property and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until construction is completed and the asset is ready for its intended use.

Land use rights represent acquisition of rights to agricultural land from farmers and are amortized on the straight-line basis over their respective lease periods. The lease period of agricultural land is in the range from 10 to 60 years. Land use rights purchase prices were determined in accordance with the P.R.C. Government’s minimum lease payments on agricultural land and mutually agreed to terms between the Company and the vendors.

Investee entities, in which the company can exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the company’s share of the earnings or losses of these companies is included in net income. A loss in value of an investment that is other than a temporary decline is recognized as a charge to operations. Evidence of a loss in value might include, but would not necessarily be limited to absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment.

A corporation formed, owned, and operated by two or more businesses as a separate and discrete business or project (venture) for their mutual benefit is considered to be a corporate joint venture. Investee entities, in which the Company can exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of these companies is included in net income.

A loss in value of an investment that is other than a temporary decline is recognized as a charge to operations.

A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is an entity (investee) in which the investor has obtained less than a majority interest, according to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). A VIE is subject to consolidation if a VIE meets one of the following three criteria as elaborated in ASC Topic 810-10, Consolidation:

If a firm is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the holdings must be disclosed on the balance sheet. The primary beneficiary is defined as the person or company with the majority of variable interests. A corporation formed, owned, and operated by two or more businesses (ventures) as a separate and discrete business or project (venture) for their mutual benefit is defined as a joint venture.

Treasury stock means shares of a corporation’s own stock that have been issued and subsequently reacquired by the corporation. Converting outstanding shares to treasury shares does not reduce the number of shares issued but does reduce the number of shares outstanding. These shares are not eligible to receive dividends. Accounting for excesses and deficiencies on treasury stock transactions is governed by ASC 505-30-30.

State laws and federal agencies closely regulate transactions involving a company’s own capital stock, so the purchase of outstanding shares must have a legitimate purpose. Some of the most common reasons for purchasing outstanding shares are as follows:

The cost method of accounting for treasury shares has been adopted by the Company. The purchase of outstanding shares and thus converting them into treasury shares is treated as a temporary reduction in shareholders’ equity in view of the expectation to reissue the shares instead of retiring them. When the Company reissues the treasury shares, the temporary account is eliminated. The cost of acquiring outstanding shares for converting into treasury shares is charged to a contra account, in this case a contra equity account that reduces the stockholder equity balance.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

The provision for income tax is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred income taxes are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

ASC Topic 740 also prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or for one expected to be taken, in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance related to, among other things, classification, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and disclosure requirements. Any interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded as tax expense.

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived assets, including intangibles, for impairment, during each reporting period. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is considered not recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flow.

As prescribed in ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” Basic Earnings per Share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year plus potential dilutive instruments such as stock options and warrants. The effect of stock options on diluted EPS is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period.

ASC 260-10-55 requires that stock dividends or stock splits be accounted for retroactively if the stock dividends or stock splits occur during the year, or retroactively if the stock dividends or stock splits occur after the end of the period but before the release of the financial statements, by considering it outstanding of the entirety of each period presented. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the year.

For the three months ended March 31,2022 and March 31,2021, basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to Sino Agro Food, Inc. and subsidiaries common stockholders amounted to $(0.28), and $(0.88), respectively. For the three months ended March 31,2022 and March 31,2021, diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to Sino Agro Food, Inc. and its subsidiaries’ common stockholders amounted to $(0.28), and $(0.88), respectively.

ASC Topic 220 “Comprehensive Income” establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in stockholders’ equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The comprehensive income for all periods presented includes both the reported net income and net change in cumulative translation adjustments.

P.R.C. state managed retirement benefit programs are defined contribution plans and the payments to the plans are charged as expenses when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contribution made by the employer.

The Company has adopted both ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” and ASC Topic 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non - Employees” using the fair value method in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods and services from employees and non- employees. Stock compensation for stock granted to non-employees has been determined in accordance with this accounting standard and the accounting standard regarding accounting for equity instruments that are issued to other than employees for acquiring, or in conjunction with selling goods or services, as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. This accounting standard allows the “simplified” method to determine the term of employee options when other information is not available. Under ASC Topic 718 and ASC Topic 505-50, stock compensation expenses is measured at the grant date on the value of the option or restricted stock and is recognized as expenses, less expected forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10- 35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, Deposits and prepayments, accounts payable and accrued expenses, other payables, due to a director and income tax payables. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. The Company’s long-term borrowing, promissory notes and convertible notes payable approximates the fair value of such instrument based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangement at December 31, 2019. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

The Company revalues its derivative liability at every reporting period and recognizes gains or losses in the consolidated statement of income and other comprehensive income that are attributable to the change in the fair value of the derivative liability. The Company has no other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which aims to make leasing activities more transparent and comparable and requires substantially all leases be recognized by lessees on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability, including leases currently accounted for as operating leases.

Any interest payment note shall be subject to the same terms as the note. The note has a maturity date of February 28, 2020.

The note is convertible, at the discretion of the note holder, into shares of the Company’s common stock (i) at any time following an Event of Default, or (ii) for a period of thirty (30) calendar days following October 31, 2015 and each anniversary thereof, at an initial conversion price per share of $1.00, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions and subject to the terms of the note. As long as the note is outstanding, the investor shall have a right of first refusal, exercisable for thirty (30) calendar days after notice to the note holder, to purchase securities proposed to be offered and sold by the Company.

The Company and the note holder entered into a restructuring agreement regarding the settlement of the Note 1. Both parties have agreed to restructure the indebtedness represented by Note 1 as follows: (a) SIAF issues 5,196,333 shares of its common stock and transfer 400,000 shares of TRW to the note holder; and (b) SIAF executes a new promissory note in the principal amount of $15,589,000 to the note holder to be paid in installments over a period of time.

(i). The earlier understanding of the restructured indebtedness is to be carried as follows: (a) SIAF issues 5,196,333 shares of its common stock and transfer 400,000 shares of TRW to the note holder; and (b) SIAF is to pay the revised promissory note in the principal amount of $15,589,000 to the note holder.

(ii). It is the Company’s intension for the said 5,196,333 shares of its common stocks to be converted into the G Series Preferred Stocks at conversion ratio of the offer of the Initial Public Offer stated in the registration statement (i.e. S1 and S4 registration statement) filed with SEC on or before June 30, 2021. However it was due primarily to the effects of the Covid-19 delayed the completion of the said filing of the said registration statements until such time a comprehensive re-statement of financials of (2019 to present date ) of the Company will be filed targeting on or before May 15, 2022. The repayment of Note 1 is subjecting to the below stated item (iii) being satisfied and resolved.

(iii).
