SINO GREEN LAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Organization
Sino Green Land Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in Nevada in March 2008 under the name of Henry County Plywood Corporation, as the successor by merger to a Virginia corporation organized in May 1948 under the same name. On March 23, 2009, the Companys corporate name was changed to Sino Green Land Corporation.
The Company, through its Chinese operating subsidiaries, Zhuhai Organic Region Modern Agriculture Ltd. (Zhuhai Organic) and Guangzhou Organic Region Agriculture Ltd. (Guangzhou Organic), is engaged in the wholesale distribution, marketing and sales of premium fruits through wholesale centers and to supermarkets in China.
On January 15, 2009, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Organic Region Group Limited (Organic Region), its stockholders and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Zhuhai Organic, Guangzhou Organic, Fuji Sunrise International Enterprises Limited (Fuji Sunrise), Southern International Develop Limited (Southern International) and HK Organic Region Limited (HK Organic). Pursuant to the share exchange agreement and a related agreement with the Companys two former principal stockholders:
-
The Company issued to the former stockholders of Organic Region a total of 81,648,554 shares of common stock, constituting approximately 98% of our outstanding stock, in exchange for all of the capital stock of Organic Region; and
-
Our former majority stockholders sold to the Company 1,666,298 shares of common stock, representing 50% of the then outstanding shares, for $500,000 non-interest bearing convertible promissory notes. The Company cancelled these shares. As of April 27, 2009, the Company had paid the principal and accrued interest on the notes in full and had no further obligations to the former majority stockholders.
Prior to the closing of these transactions, the Company, then known as Henry County Plywood Corporation, was not engaged in any business activity and was considered a blank-check shell company.
The Company is the sole stockholder of Organic Region, a British Virgin Islands corporation which was incorporated on January 30, 2003. Organic Region is the sole stockholders of five limited liability companies organized under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China, each of which is a wholly foreign-owned entity, known as a WFOE: Zhuhai Organic, Guangzhou Organic, Fuji Sunrise, Southern International and HK Organic.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, the acquisition by the Company of Organic Region is equivalent to the acquisition by Organic Region of the Company, then known as Henry County Plywood Corporation, with the issuance of stock by Organic Region for the net monetary assets of the Company. This transaction is reflected as a recapitalization, and is accounted for as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the acquisition is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition. Under reverse acquisition accounting, the comparative historical financial statements of the Company, as the legal acquirer, are those of the accounting acquirer, Organic Region. The accompanying financial statements reflect the recapitalization of the stockholders equity as if the transactions occurred as of the beginning of the first period presented. Thus, only the 81,648,554 shares of common stock issued to the former Organic Region stockholders are deemed to be outstanding for all periods reported prior to the date of the reverse acquisition. As a result of the reverse acquisition effected by the share exchange agreement, the Companys business has become the business of the Organic Region. The 1,666,297 shares of common stock that were outstanding on January 15, 2009, net of the 1,666,298 shares that were purchased by the Company and cancelled, are treated as if they were issued on January 15, 2009, as part of a recapitalization.
Zhuhai Organic was formed by a British Virgin Islands corporation known as Nature Institution Group Ltd. (NI Group) on January 3, 2004, and Guangzhou Organic was formed by NI Group on September 24, 2004. On December 31, 2007, NI Group transferred to Organic Region all of the stock of Zhuhai Organic for $5,000,000 and all of the stock of Guangzhou Organic for no consideration since Guangzhou Organic had negative equity. At the time of the transfer, NI Group had made the required capital contributions to both Zhuhai Organic and Guangzhou Organic. At the time of the transfer, one of NI Groups stockholders, who held a 13.5% interest in NI Group, was also a 50% stockholder in Organic Region. As a result, the acquisitions were accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to that used in pooling of interests method since the two acquisitions represented transactions between related parties. The amount by which the purchase price exceeded the value of the assets of Zhuhai Organic and Guangzhou Organic, which was $365,755, was recorded as deemed dividend to the stockholder.
5
The Company has an exclusive agreement with the Companys chief operating officer, who is the owner and holder of the business license for Guangzhou Greenland Co. Ltd. (Guangzhou Greenland). Pursuant to this agreement, Organic Region provides consulting services, including business operations, human resources and research and development services, to Mr. Luo with respect to Guangzhou Greenland to enable Guangzhou Greenland to operate the fruit trading business in China. In exchange for such services, Mr. Luo agreed to pay a consulting services fee to Organic Region equal to all of the revenues obtained by Guangzhou Greenland. The agreement gave the Company the ability to substantially influence Guangzhou Greenlands daily operations and financial affairs, appoint its senior executives and approve all matters requiring stockholder approval. Mr. Luo also irrevocably granted the Company an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of the equity interests in Guangzhou Greenland and agreed to entrust all the rights to exercise voting power to the person appointed by the Company. Guangzhou Greenland is considered a variable interest entity under ASC 810 (Originally issued as FIN 46R), and its financial statements are included in our consolidated financial statements. Substantially all of the Companys revenue is derived from the business of Guangzhou Greenland.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future period. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The results of the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.
b. Principle of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Zhuhai Organic and Guangzhou Organic, Fuji Sunrise, HK Organic and Southern International, together with its 100% Variable Interest Entity (VIE), Guangzhou Greenland. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
6
In accordance with ASC 810 (Originally issued as Financial Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities FIN 46R), VIEs are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with which the Company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes.
On January 1, 2005, Organic Region entered into exclusive arrangements with Mr. Xiong Luo, who is presently the Companys chief operating officer and who holds the business license for Guangzhou Greenland, that give the Company the ability to substantially influence Guangzhou Greenlands daily operations and financial affairs, appoint its senior executives and approve all matters requiring shareholder approval. As a result, the Company consolidates the financial results of Guangzhou Greenland as variable interest entity pursuant to ASC 810 (Originally issued as Financial Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities FIN 46R).
a. | Guangzhou Greenland holds the licenses necessary to operate its fruit trading business in China. | |
b. | The Company provides the exclusive privilege to purchase the fruit and vegetables and other general business operation services to Guangzhou Greenland in return for a consulting services fee which is equal to Guangzhou Greenlands revenue. | |
c. | Mr. Xiong Luo irrevocably granted the Company an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of the equity interests in Guangzhou Greenland and agreed to entrust all the rights to exercise his voting power to the person appointed by the Company. |
c. Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues 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 materially from those results.
d. Accounts receivable
The Companys policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had accounts receivable, of $184,582 and $200,731, net of allowance for bad debts in the amount of $63,202 and $9,264, respectively.
e. Other current assets
Other current assets, valued at $380,010 as of September 30, 2009, mainly included an unsecured loan receivable in the amount of $293,384, at an interest rate of 5.53%, from an unrelated party. This loan is due in January 2010 and relates to a loan made to the local fruit association in connection with the construction of a seeding lab for emperor bananas. The interest expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 for this receivable are immaterial.
f. Advances to suppliers
The Company provides advances to certain vendors for purchase of its products. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the advances to suppliers amounted to $2,433,990 and $497,568, respectively.
7
g. Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The cost of improvements that extend the life of plant, property, and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment, and fixtures. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: 5 to 10 years for manufacturing machinery, 5 years for office equipment, and 5 years for motor vehicle.
h. Revenue recognition
The Companys revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 605 (Originally issued as Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104). Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.
Sales
Revenues from the sale of products are recognized at the point of sale of the Companys products. Discounts provided to customers by the Company at the time of sale are recognized as a reduction in sales as the products are sold. Sales taxes are not recorded as a component of sales.
Cost of Goods Sold
The Cost of Goods Sold line item of the Consolidated Statements of Income includes product costs, net of discounts and allowances. Discounts provided to the Company by vendors at the time of purchase are recognized as a reduction in inventory cost as the products are delivered.
All other costs, including warehousing costs, transportation costs, salaries, rent expense and depreciation expense, are shown separately in Selling Expense or General and Administrative Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Incomes.
i. Income taxes
The Company utilizes ASC 740 (Originally issued as SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes), which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis 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. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
8
The Company records a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, if any, based on its estimates of its future taxable income as well as its tax planning strategies when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. If the Company is able to utilize more of its deferred tax assets than the net amount previously recorded when unanticipated events occur, an adjustment to deferred tax assets would increase the Company net income when those events occur. The Company does not have any significant deferred tax asset or liabilities in the PRC tax jurisdiction.
j. Income per share of common stock
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock (using the if-converted method) and common stock warrants (using the treasury stock method). The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

k. Foreign currency translation
The Company uses the United States dollar for financial reporting purposes. The Companys subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their functional currency - Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY), being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. Such financial statements were translated into United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830 (Originally issued as Statement of Financial Accounts Standards (SFAS) No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation). According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate, stockholders equity are translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC 220 (Originally issued as SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income) as a component of shareholders equity.
l. Fair values of financial instruments
ASC 825 (Originally issued as Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments) requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for assets and liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
The Companys financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, advances to suppliers, accounts payable and other payables.
As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented on the balance sheet. This is attributed to the short maturities of the instruments and that interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective balance sheet dates.
m. Segment reporting
ASC 280 (Originally issued as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, SFAS 131), Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information requires use of the management approach model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a companys management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.
ASC 280 (Originally issued as SFAS No. 131) has no effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements as the Company operates in one reportable business segment.
n. Subsequent Events.
For purposes of determining whether a post-balance sheet event should be evaluated to determine whether it has an effect on the financial statements for the period ending June 30, 2009 pursuant to ASC 855(Originally issued as SFAS No. 165), subsequent events were evaluated by the Company as of August 12, 2009, the date on which the Form 10-Q, which included the unaudited consolidated financial statements at and for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, was available to be issued.

o. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105 (previously SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162), which will become the source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities. The Codification is effective in the third quarter of 2009, and accordingly, the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2009 and all subsequent public filings will reference the Codification as the sole source of authoritative literature. The Company does not believe that this will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855 (previously SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. There was no material impact upon the adoption of this standard on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860 (previously SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets) , which requires additional information regarding transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810 (previously SFAS No. 167) for determining whether to consolidate a variable interest entity. These amended standards eliminate a mandatory quantitative approach to determine whether a variable interest gives the entity a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity in favor of a qualitatively focused analysis, and require an ongoing reassessment of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary. These amended standards are effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 and we are currently evaluating the impact that adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-05, which amends ASC Topic 820, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on the measurement of liabilities at fair value. These amended standards clarify that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, we are required to use the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities, or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets. If these quoted prices are not available, we are required to use another valuation technique, such as an income approach or a market approach. These amended standards are effective for us beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 and are not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

7. SHORT TERM CONVERTIBLE NOTES
On April 23, 2008, Organic Region issued four 18% convertible notes to various investors in the total amount of $500,000. The notes were due on April 23, 2009. In addition, Organic Region also issued to the investors warrants that were to be assumed by the Company upon the completion of the reverse acquisition. The warrants are exercisable after the consummation of the Companys going public transaction per the term of warrant agreements.
As part of the transaction in which Organic Region issued its 18% convertible notes in the principal amount of $500,000, Organic Region issued warrants to purchase such number of shares of common stock to be determined by a formula based on a future financing after the reverse acquisition. The warrants are assumed by the Company. The Holder shall be entitled to purchase up to $500,000 of securities at a per share price equal to 115% of the lowest cash price paid in a financing, which is defined as the consummation of one or more equity financings by the Company with aggregate proceeds of at least $3,000,000. See Note 8 for information with respect to financing which were completed in August 2009.
Pursuant to ASC 815 (Originally issued as EITF 00-19, paragraph 4), these convertible notes do not meet the definition of a conventional convertible debt instrument since the outstanding principal plus all interest accrued, at the holders option, may be converted on the maturity date, into shares of the issuers equity securities if going public transaction does not consummate on or before the maturity date. Therefore, the convertible debenture is considered non-conventional, which means that the conversion feature must be bifurcated from the debt and shown as a separate derivative liability. The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature is adjusted to fair value each balance sheet date with the change being shown as a component of net income.
The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature at the inception of these convertible notes was $363,308. Thus, at issuance, the notes were reflected with a discount of $363,308, which is amortized over the term of the notes. The notes were paid off and the related debt discounts were written off.
As of December 31, 2008, $313,627 net of debt discount of $153,425 and debt issuance cost of $32,948 was booked as convertible debt. The Company accrued $62,384 interest expenses for the convertible notes as of December 31, 2008.
As of September 30, 2009, $0 was booked as convertible debt.

On January 15, 2009, the Company completed the reverse acquisition as described in Note 1. Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, the Company issued 81,648,554 shares of common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Organic Region.
Pursuant to an agreement with an independent director, the Company agreed to pay the director 12,500 shares of common stock every fiscal quarter. As of September 30, 2009, the Company accrued the value of 33,333 shares, reflecting the shares that were due through September 30, 2009 pursuant to his agreement.

b. Pursuant to a Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated August 7, 2009, with three investors, on August 7, 2009, the Company issued of an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Companys series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (series A preferred stock) and five-year warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.14 per share and 10,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, for which the Company received a total of $1,000,000. The Company also granted the investors an option to purchase up to 1,000,000 additional shares of series A preferred stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share of series A preferred stock. Using blackschole pricing model, the fair value of the preferred stock options was $21,689 at the grant date. This option expires on February 10, 2010.
Each share of Series A preferred stock is convertible into 11.36 shares of common stock. The conversion price is subject to certain adjustments.
The holders of the series A preferred stock have no voting rights. However, as long as any shares of series A preferred stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative approval of a majority of the holders of the series A preferred stock then outstanding, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the series A preferred stock or alter or amend the certificate of designation relating to the series A preferred stock, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends or distribution of assets upon a liquidation senior to or otherwise pari passu with the series A preferred stock, or any of preferred stock possessing greater voting rights or the right to convert at a more favorable price than the series A preferred stock, (c) amend our articles of incorporation or other charter documents in breach of any of the provisions hereof, (d) increase the authorized number of shares of series A preferred stock, or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing; provided, however, that any creation or authorization of another series of junior securities shall not be deemed to adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges of voting powers.
The certificate of designation for the series A preferred stock prohibits the Company from paying dividends on its common stock or redeeming common stock while any shares of series A preferred stock are outstanding.
In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of the series A preferred stock are to receive a payment of $1.00 per share of series A preferred stock before any distribution is made to the common stock or any securities junior to the series A preferred stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
The certificate of designation and the warrants provide that those securities may not be exercised or converted if such conversion or exercise would result in the holder and its affiliates having beneficial ownership of more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-3 thereunder.
Pursuant to the series A preferred stock and warrant purchase agreement, in addition to the foregoing and other conditions, we agreed that:
-
The Company would maintain its listing on the OTC Bulletin Board or a national stock exchange; provided that if the Company is are not so listed, as long as the investors owned series A preferred stock, the Company would pay the investors, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to 1% of the purchase price per month, which is $10,000 per month if all of the shares of series A preferred stock are then outstanding, until the stock is again listed on the OTC Bulletin Board or a national stock exchange.
-
The Company would cancel any outstanding preferred stock and, prior to August 7, 2012, not issue additional shares of preferred stock, other than pursuant to the purchase agreement or sales at a price of $0.135 per share on an as-converted basis.
-
The Company would have outstanding convertible debt converted into either a straight loan with a reasonable payment schedule or converted into common stock at a price of not less than $0.085 per share.
-
With certain exceptions, if, prior to August 7, 2011, the Company issues stock at a price less than the conversion price of the series A preferred stock, which is presently $0.088 per share, then the conversion price of the series A preferred stock would be reduced to the lower price at which such shares were sold.
-
If the Companys net income, as defined, is less than $0.045 per share on a fully-diluted basis, then the conversion price will be reduced by the percentage shortfall, subject to a maximum reduction of 40%.
The following table sets forth the conversion price of the series A preferred stock and exercise price of the warrants if our pre-tax income per share for 2009 is 20% below the threshold (a 20% shortfall), and 40% below the threshold (a 40% shortfall) and in each case there were no other events that affected the conversion or exercise price:

9. INCOME TAXES
The Companys operations are conducted solely in the PRC. It does not conduct any operations in the United States or The British Virgin Islands and is not subject to income tax in either jurisdiction. For certain operations in PRC, the Company has incurred net accumulated operating losses for income tax purposes. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that these net accumulated operating losses generated in the PRC will not be utilized in the future. Therefore, the Company has provided full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets arising from the losses at these locations as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Accordingly, the Company has no net deferred tax assets.
15
Under the current PRC enterprise income tax law, which became effective January 1, 2008, there is a standard enterprise income tax rate of 25%. The tax holidays that were granted under the former tax law, will continue in effect until they expire. Guangzhou Greenland has a two year income tax exemption in 2008 and 2009 and will have a 50% tax reduction from 2010 to 2012.
The income tax rate of Xiong Luo, with respect to Guangzhou Greenland , which is part of consolidated financial statement as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 as a VIE under ASC 810-10 (Originally issued as FIN 46R), is 1.8% of the fixed income amount accounted by the local national tax bureau in which he conducts the businesses.

Our main products include Fuji Apples, Emperor Bananas and Tangerine Oranges.

We distribute our products through our established distribution network and trading agents who sell our products to customers throughout China.

Principal Factors Affecting our Financial Performance
Uncertainties that Affect our Financial Condition
We currently generate sufficient operating cash flows to support our working capital requirements, but our working capital requirements and the cash flow provided by future operating activities, if any, will vary greatly from quarter to quarter, depending on the volume of business during the period and payment terms with our customers. In the future we may require access to the financial markets to provide us with significant discretionary funding capacity, as we did in the quarter ended September 30, 2009. However, the current uncertainty arising out of domestic and global economic conditions, including the disruption in credit markets, poses a risk to the economies in which we operate and may adversely impact our potential sources of capital financing, as well as our ability to manage normal relationships with our suppliers, customers and creditors. In addition, the lack of availability of credit could lead to a further weakening of the Chinese and global economies and make capital financing of our operations more expensive for us or impossible altogether. Furthermore, deteriorating economic conditions including business layoffs, downsizing, industry slowdowns and other similar factors that affect our customers and creditors could have further negative consequences for our business operations. Although our products are considered staples in Chinese consumers daily life, and historically, demand for such staples has not fluctuated with the ups and downs of the general economy, if the current economic situation continues to deteriorate, we could see a more drastic reduction in the demand for our products. Such reductions and disruptions could have a material adverse effect on our business operations.
Natural Disasters
Severe weather conditions and natural disasters, such as snow, floods, droughts, frosts, earthquakes or pestilence, which are difficult to anticipate and cannot be controlled by us, may affect the supply of our products and disrupt our operations. For instance, in the first quarter of 2008, heavy snow storms in the regions in which our products are grown caused a material decrease in sales during such period. In addition, such disasters may affect the cost and supply of raw materials, including fruits and vegetables or result in reduced supplies of raw materials, lower recoveries of usable raw materials, higher costs of cold storage if harvests are accelerated and processing capacity is unavailable or interruptions in our production schedules if harvests are delayed. Our competitors may be affected differently by weather conditions and natural disasters depending on the location of their supplies or operations. If our supplies of raw materials are reduced, we may not be able to find enough supplemental supply sources on favorable terms, if at all, which could impact our ability to supply product to our customers and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If our operations are damaged by a natural disaster, we may be subject to supply interruptions or other business disruption, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Net Sales. Net sales increased approximately $3.50 million, or 12.65%, to approximately $31.15 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $27.66 million in the same period last year. 95% of this increase was due to an increase in the volume of sales of our apples, bananas and oranges. Specifically, during the three months ended September 30, 2009, the volume of apples sold increased by 66% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008, the volume of oranges sold increased 64% and the volume of bananas sold increased 10%. Approximately 5% of the increase in net sales was due to an increase in prices of our products.
Cost of Goods Sold. Our cost of goods sold is comprised of the costs of our raw materials, labor, overhead and sales tax. Our cost of goods sold increased approximately $2.77 million, or 11.14%, to approximately $27.68 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $24.90 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008. This increase was mainly due to the increased cost associated with our purchase of a greater volume of apples, bananas and oranges to meet our customers demands for such products.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Our gross profit increased approximately $0.72 million to approximately $3.48 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $2.75 million in the same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was 11.16% and 9.95% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This increase was mainly due to the increased profit margin from sales of our Fuji apples during this period.
Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses, which are comprised of transportation costs, salesmen salaries and rent expenses, increased approximately $0.38 million, or 76.58%, to approximately $0.89 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $0.50 million in the same period last year because bonuses payable to salesmen were drawn in advance to incentivize salesmen during the three months ended September 30, 2009, which was not done in the same period last year.
Administrative expenses. Our administrative expenses, which are comprised of salaries, trip expenses, audit fees, attorneys fees, advisory fees and depreciation expense increased approximately $0.38 million, or 214.3%, to approximately $0.56 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $0.18 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008. This increase was mainly due to the additional attorneys fees and advisory fees accrued for the financing transaction we consummated in August, 2009.
20
Net Income. Net income increased approximately $0.1 million, to approximately $1.87 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009, from approximately $1.78 million in the same period of 2008. However, net income as a percentage of net sales decreased to 6.01% in the three months ended September 30, 2009, from 6.43% in the same period last year. This decrease was mainly due to the increase of selling expenses and administrative expenses.

Net Sales. Net sales increased approximately $13.79 million, or 23.92%, to approximately $71.46 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $57.67 million in the same period last year. Our production had declined during the first quarter of 2008 as a result of heavy snow in the regions where our products are grown. During the first quarter of 2009, more favorable weather conditions resulted in increased production and increased sales. Our production capacity also increased in the first three quarters of 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008, because we cultivated an additional 28,000 mu (1 acre=6 mu) of land. This additional production contributed to additional sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Cost of Goods Sold. Our cost of goods sold increased approximately $12.13 million, or 23.62%, to approximately $63.47 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $51.34 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This increase was mainly due to the increased cost associated with our purchase of a greater volume of apples, bananas and oranges to meet our customers demands for such products.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Our gross profit increased approximately $1.66 million to approximately $7.99 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $6.32 million in the same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was 11.18% and 10.96% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our gross margin was relatively stable since it is largely determined by the margin of the wholesale prices we buy from our suppliers and the reseller price we sell at distribution centers, both of which have remained relatively stable during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
21
Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses increased approximately $1.10 million, or 106.55%, to approximately $2.12 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $1.03 million in the same period last year. As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses increased to 2.97% in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from 1.78% in the same period of 2008. Selling expenses increased because of increased sales in this period and because of the advancement of bonuses in the third quarter of 2009.
Administrative expenses. Our administrative expenses increased approximately $1.06 million, or 131.92%, to approximately $1.87 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $0.81 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. As a percentage of net sales, administrative expenses increased to 2.62% in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to 1.40% in the same period last year. Administrative expenses increased as a result of increased fees and expenses related to the reverse merger transaction that was consummated on January 15, 2009, plus the additional attorneys fees and advisory fees accrued for the financing transaction that we consummated in August 2009.
Net Income. Net income decreased approximately $0.83 million, or 19.87%, to approximately $3.36 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from approximately $4.19 million in the same period of 2008. Net income as a percentage of net sales decreased to 4.70% in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from 7.27% in the same period last year. This decrease was mainly due to the increase of selling expenses and administrative expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.29 million. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statements periods presented in this report.
Cash Flow
(All amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Nine months Ended September 30, | ||||||
2009 | 2008 | |||||
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | $ | 3,681 | $ | 5,076 | ||

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | 2,608 | 293 | ||||
Net cash flows | 744 | (145 | ) |
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $3.68 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of approximately $1.40 million, from approximately $5.08 million in net cash provided by operating activities in the same period last year. The reason for this decrease is that the Company paid more accounts payable during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 than during the same period in 2008.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 totaled approximately $2.61 million, compared to approximately $0.29 million in net cash generated by financing activities in the same period last year. This increase was due to our raising $2.64 million in financing transactions in August 2009.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures were approximately $3.37 million and $5.41 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our capital expenditures were primarily used to rent the land on which the products we purchase from suppliers are grown. Our material capital expenditure requirement for fiscal year 2009 is expected to be approximately $8.5 million, which will be used to lease additional land and to establish a processing and packing factory, as well as the construction of a distribution hub.
22
We believe that our cash on hand and cash flow from operations will meet part of our present cash needs and we will require additional cash resources, including loans, to meet our expected capital expenditure and working capital for the next 12 months. In addition, we may, in the future, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our production capacity or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial conditions and results of operations and require managements difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from managements current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Accounts Receivable Our policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.
Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market value. Management compares the cost of inventories with market value and an allowance is provided to reduce the value of inventories to their net market value.
Impairment We apply the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, or SFAS, No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, or SFAS No. 144, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. We test long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets subject to periodic amortization, for recoverability at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. We consider historical performance and future estimated results in our evaluation of potential impairment and then compare the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, we measure the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate we utilize to evaluate potential investments. We estimate fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary.
23
Revenue Recognition Our revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 104. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue. Revenues from the sale of products are recognized at the point of sale of our products. Discounts provided to customers by us at the time of sale are recognized as a reduction in sales as the products are sold. Discounts provided by vendors are not recognized as a reduction in sales provided the coupons are redeemable at any retailer that accepts coupons. Sales taxes are not recorded as a component of sales. The Cost of Good Sold line item of the Consolidated Statements of Income includes product costs, net of discounts and allowances. Discounts provided to us by vendors at the time of purchase are recognized as a reduction in inventory cost as the products are delivered. All other costs, including warehousing costs, transportation costs; salaries, rent expense and depreciation expense, are shown separately in Selling Expense or General and Administrative Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Incomes.
Foreign Currency Translation We use U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. Our subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their functional currency - RMB, being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. Such financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars (USD) in accordance with SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate, stockholders equity are translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income as a component of shareholders equity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS 166), which requires additional information regarding transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS 167), which modifies how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. SFAS 167 clarifies that the determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entitys purpose and design and a companys ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance. SFAS 167 requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 also requires additional disclosures about a companys involvement in variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. SFAS 167 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS No. 168), which becomes effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. SFAS No. 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 168 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with US GAAP (the GAAP hierarchy).

Seasonality
Our fresh fruits business is highly seasonal. Our Fuji Apples and Tangerine Oranges are harvested mainly from late-August to mid-November every year, while our Emperor Bananas grow in an eight month cycle. As fruits collected cannot be stored at room temperature for a long time, they must be processed as soon as they are harvested or stored at a cold temperature. We plan to invest in a bigger and better processing line and packing house, including the construction of our own cold storage facilities in our base in Luo Chuan, Shaanxi, in order to avoid unnecessary fluctuations in seasonality.
We generally experience higher sales in the third and fourth fiscal quarters.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.
