(UNAUDITED)
NOTE
1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
Company
Sunwin
International Neutraceuticals, Inc. ("we", "us", "our" and the "Company") was
incorporated in 1987 in the State of Nevada. Substantially all of our
business operations are conducted through our wholly owned subsidiaries; Qufu
Natural Green Engineering Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries, a Chinese limited
liability company, organized under the laws of the People's Republic of China,
with its principal offices located in Qufu, China ("Qufu Natural Green") and
Sunwin Stevia International Corp., a Florida corporation ("Sunwin
Stevia").
Through
Qufu, we are engaged in the manufacture and sale of natural sweeteners
(stevioside), traditional Chinese medicines, organic herbal medicines, other
neutraceutical products and veterinary medicines prepared from organic herbal
ingredients.
Qufu was
founded in 1999 and was re-registered in 2004 to amend its capital structure.
Qufu has three wholly owned subsidiaries also located in the
Peoples Republic of China ("PRC"):
|
-
|
Shengya
Veterinary Medicine Co., Ltd.;
|
|
-
|
Shengyuan
Herb Extraction Co., Ltd.;
|
|
-
|
Qufu
Chinese Medicine Factory; and
|
In
addition on June 30, 2008, Qufu Natural Green entered into an agreement to
acquire a 60% interest in Qufu Shengwang Stevia Biology and Science Co., Ltd.,
(“Qufu Shengwang”) from its shareholder Shandong Shengwang Group Co., Ltd., a
limited liability company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of
China (“Shandong Group”). This transaction was completed on September 2,
2008.
Qufu
Shengwang manufactures, sells and distributes stevioside based animal feed
additives and fertilizers. Stevioside is a 100% natural sweetener
extracted from the leaves of the stevia rebaudiana plant, a green herb plant of
the Aster/Chrysanthemum family. Qufu Shengwang sells products in the
provinces of Shandong, Heilongjia, and Liaoning in China to farmers of
vegetables, fruits, flowers, and livestock.
On
September 2, 2008, Qufu Natural Green amended its June 30, 2008 Acquisition
Agreement (the “Amendment to Acquisition Agreement”) with Qufu Shengwang and
Shandong Group. Under the terms of the Amendment to Acquisition Agreement, Qufu
Natural Green agreed to acquire Shandong Group's 60% interest in Qufu
Shengwang for $6,200,413 payable in cash at closing. The purchase price
represented 60% of the revised value of the net assets of Qufu
Shengwang of $10,334,022 as of April 30, 2008. Qufu Shengwang's
net assets were reduced from $11,693,666 to $10,334,022 as a result of the
application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
(“U.S. GAAP”) which required the elimination of the difference between the fair
market value and cost basis of the land use rights recorded by Qufu Shengwang in
its financial statements prior to completion of an audit of its financial
statements as of April 30, 2008.
On
November 18, 2008, Qufu Natural Green amended the June 30, 2008 Agreement with
Qufu Shengwang and its shareholder, Shandong Group (the “Second Amendment to
Acquisition Agreement”). Under the terms of the Second Amendment to Acquisition
Agreement, Qufu Natural Green agreed to acquire Shandong Group's 60% interest in
Qufu Shengwang for $4,026,851. The purchase price represents 60% of the revised
value of the net assets of Qufu Shengwang of $6,711,418 as of April 30,
2008. The net assets of Qufu Shengwang were further revised to
account for a $698,115 decrease in the value of inventory and a $2,924,489
decrease in the value of intangible assets as of April 30, 2008.

SUNWIN
INTERNATIONAL NEUTRACEUTICALS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
(UNAUDITED)
As a
result of the Amendments to the acquisition agreement, the Company entered into
a second amendment to the Stock Sale Agreement to reduce the total number of
Shares to be purchased by Shandong Group from 29,525,776 to 19,175,480 at a
price of $.21 per share (the “Second Amendment to Stock Sale Agreement”). As a
result of the amendment to the stock sale agreement, the Company will cancel
10,350,296 Shares issued to Shandong Group and refund to Shandong Group
$2,173,562 reflecting the difference between the purchase price of $6,200,413
under the Amendment to Stock Sale Agreement and the purchase price of $4,026,851
for the Shares under the Second Amendment to the Stock Sale
Agreement. The 19,175,480 shares of Common Stock purchased by
Shandong Group represents approximately 22% of the issued and outstanding shares
of common stock of the Company prior to the transaction. The company cancelled
the 10,350,296 shares issued to Shandong Group on December 10,
2008.
In
addition to Qufu, we also operate through two North American subsidiaries, which
are active in marketing Qufu's products in North America:
|
-
|
Sunwin
Stevia; and
|
|
-
|
Sunwin
(Canada) Pharmaceutical, Ltd. (“Sunwin
Canada”).
|
In
December 2007, as a cost cutting measure, we dissolved Sunwin California, Inc.,
our wholly-owned subsidiary, with their marketing efforts being absorbed by
Sunwin Stevia.
BASIS OF
PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The accompanying consolidated
financial statements for the interim periods presented are unaudited and reflect
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position and operating results for the periods presented.
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our
wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. These consolidated interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the
year ended April 30, 2008 and notes thereto contained on Form 10-K/A of the
Company as filed with the SEC. The results of operations and cash flows for the
three and six months ended October 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations or cash flows which may be reported for future periods
or the full fiscal year.

RESTATEMENT
OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008 have been restated
to correct for a classification error with regards to the liability of advances
from customers, which was overstated by $570,090. The advance was, in fact, an
advance from one of the Company's subsidiaries to another Company subsidiary,
that had it been accounted for correctly, would have been eliminated in
consolidation. Following the correction, the statement of cash flows for the
fiscal year ended April 30, 2008 reflected an increase in net cash used in
operating activities and an increase in the effect on exchange rate on cash. The
correction of this error did not impact any previous quarterly reports filed by
us. Components of the restatement are detailed as follows:

ESTIMATES
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States 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 financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant
estimates for the three and six months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007 include
the allowance for doubtful accounts, the reserve for obsolete inventory,
assumptions associated with the recognition of stock based compensation and the
useful life of property, plant and equipment.
CASH AND
CASH EQUIVALENTS
For
purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, we consider all highly
liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money
market accounts to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of these instruments
approximates their fair value.
ACCOUNTS
RECEIVABLE
Accounts
receivable are reported at net realizable value. The Company has established an
allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors pertaining to the credit risk
of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. Delinquent
accounts are written off when it is determined that the amounts are
uncollectible. At October 31, 2008 and April 30, 2008, the allowances for
doubtful accounts were $515,400 and $467,415, respectively.

INVENTORIES
Inventories,
consisting of raw materials and finished goods related to our products, are
stated at the lower of cost or market (estimated net realizable value) utilizing
the weighted average method. Due to short production cycle of our natural
products, we do not maintain a work-in-process inventory.
NOTE
PAYABLE
On July
1, 2008, the Company and Mr. Laiwang Zhang, our president and chairman, entered
into a $100,000 note payable agreement with China Direct Investments, Inc., a
consultant to the Company. The note bears interest at 6% per annum, and is
secured by 400,000 shares of our common stock held by Mr. Laiwang Zhang and is
due with all related accrued interest on July 1, 2009.
FAIR
VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosures of information about the
fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to
estimate the value. For the purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a
financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in
a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or
liquidation.
The
carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable,
accounts payable and accrued expenses, note payable, advances from customers and
amounts due to related parties approximate their fair market value based on the
short-term maturity of these instruments.
INCOME
TAXES
The
Company files federal and state income tax returns in the United States for its
domestic operations, and files separate foreign tax returns for our Chinese
subsidiaries. We account for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes", as clarified by the Financial Accounting Standard
Board ("FASB") interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes", which is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition
of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences
of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax
returns.
INCOME
PER SHARE
Net
income per common share for the three and six months ended October 31, 2008 and
2007 are based upon the weighted average common shares and dilutive common stock
equivalents, if any, outstanding during the periods presented as defined by SFAS
No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". The effect of outstanding warrants to purchase
common stock, which could result in the issuance of 9,696,590 additional common
shares at October 31, 2008, is anti-dilutive as the exercise price of the
warrants exceeds the average market price of our stock and, accordingly, has not
been included in the earnings per share calculation for that period. We had no
stock options outstanding at October 31, 2008 or 2007,
respectively.
PROPERTY
AND EQUIPMENT
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided
using the straight line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets,
which range from five to twenty years. Expenditures for major renewals and
betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are
capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
incurred. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", we examine the possibility of decreases in the
value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact
that their recorded value may not be recoverable. Accumulated depreciation on
property and equipment totaled $4,953,805 and $3,964,662 at October 31, 2008 and
April 30, 2008, respectively.

FOREIGN
CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Transactions
and balances originally denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their
original amounts. Transactions and balances in other currencies are converted
into U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation"
and are included in determining net income or loss.
The
reporting currency for the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency
of our Chinese subsidiaries is the local currency; the Chinese dollar or
Renminbi ("RMB"). The financial statements of the subsidiaries are translated
into United States dollars using year-end rates of exchange for assets and
liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs,
and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions
are included in the consolidated statements of operations. Translation
adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency
financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive
income or loss. The cumulative translation adjustments and effect of exchange
rate changes on cash at October 31, 2008 and 2007 were $3,685,091 and
$1,502,716, respectively.
COMPREHENSIVE
INCOME
We report
comprehensive income in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income". Comprehensive income is comprised of net
income and all changes to the statements of stockholders' equity, except those
due to investments by stockholders', changes in paid-in capital and
distributions to stockholders. Comprehensive income for the three and six months
ended October 31, 2008 and 2007 included net income and foreign currency
translation adjustments.
CONCENTRATION
OF CREDIT RISK
Financial
instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk
consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. We place our cash
with high credit quality financial institutions in the United States and China.
At October 31, 2008, we had $6,708,346 on deposit in China, which is not
insured. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts through October 31,
2008.
Almost
all of the Company's sales are credit sales which are primarily to customers
whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in
these areas; however, we believe concentrations of credit risk with respect to
trade accounts receivables is limited due to generally short payment terms. We
also perform ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce
potential credit risk.
STOCK
BASED COMPENSATION
The
Company accounts for stock options issued to employees in accordance with SFAS
No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment, An Amendment to FASB Statement No. 123". SFAS
123R requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the
grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation
issued to employees as an expense in our statements of operations over the
service periods of each award.
REVENUE
RECOGNITION
The
Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff
Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104 and SAB Topic 13 for revenue recognition. In
general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to
the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably
assured.

RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157; "Fair Value Measurements". This
statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
in generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting
pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having
previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is a
relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any
new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this
Statement will change current practices. This Statement is effective for
financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The
adoption of SFAS 157 has not had a material effect on our consolidated financial
statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business
Combinations". SFAS 141R is a revision of SFAS 141 and includes substantial
changes to the acquisition method used to account for business combinations
(formerly the "purchase accounting" method), including broadening the definition
of a business, as well as revisions to accounting methods for contingent
consideration and other contingencies related to the acquired business,
accounting for transaction costs, and accounting for adjustment to provisional
amounts recorded in connection with acquisitions. SFAS 141R retains the
fundamental requirement of SFAS 141, that the acquisition method of accounting
be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for
each business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for periods beginning on or
after December 15, 2008, and will apply to all business combinations occurring
after the effective date. We are currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS
141R and the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial
statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, "Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin
No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements" ("ARB 51"). This Statement amends ARB
51 to establish new standards that will govern the (1) accounting for and
reporting of non-controlling interests in partially owned consolidated
subsidiaries and (2) the loss of control of subsidiaries. Non-controlling
interest will be reported as part of equity in the consolidated financial
statements. Losses will be allocated to the non-controlling interest, and, if
control is maintained, changes in ownership interests will be treated as equity
transactions. Upon a loss of control, any gain or loss on the interest sold will
be recognized in earnings. SFAS 160 is effective for periods beginning after
December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS 160 and
the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities". The new standard is intended to improve financial
reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring
enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on
an entity's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. It is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods
beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. We are
currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 161 on our consolidated
financial statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles". This standard is intended to improve financial reporting
by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting
principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following
approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board's amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning
of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles".
We do not expect SFAS No. 162 to have a material impact on the preparation of
our consolidated financial statements.
On June
16, 2008, the FASB issued final Staff Position ("FSP") No. EITF 03-6-1,
"Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are
Participating Securities", to address the question of whether instruments
granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior
to vesting. The FSP determines that unvested share-based payment awards that
contain rights to dividend payments should be included in earnings per share
calculations. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the requirements of FSP No. EITF
03-6-1 and the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial
statements.

On
October 10, 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”) No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a
Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not
Active. This FASB Staff Position (FSP) clarifies the
application of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, in a market that
is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in
determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that
financial asset is not active. Statement 157 was issued in September 2006, and
is effective for financial assets and financial liabilities for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. We have adopted SFAS 157-3
and determined that it had no impact as of September 30, 2008, and we will
continue to evaluate the impact, if any, of SFAS 157-3 on our financial
statements.
A variety
of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under
study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to
the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, management has
not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be
material to our consolidated financial statements.

5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The
Company pays management fees to Shandong Shengwang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a
limited liability company organized under the laws of the PRC ("Pharmaceutical
Corporation"), in which Mr. Laiwang Zhang, our president and chairman holds a
majority interest. The management fees, which are included in general and
administrative expenses, totaled $264,365 and $112,224 for the six months ended
October 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At October 31, 2008, the Company owed
Shengwang Group Corporation $8,759 for management fees.
At
October 31, 2008, the Company recorded $2,173,562 due from Shandong Group
related to an amendment to the acquisition of a 60% interest of Qufu
Shengwang. The $2,173,562 due from Shandong Group represents the fair
value of the 10,350,296 shares which are to be cancelled pursuant to the
amendment. The shares were cancelled on December 10, 2008.
In
February 2006 we granted options to five employees and, upon exercise, the
option holders tendered to us non-interest bearing promissory notes representing
the exercise price of the options. Included in this transaction were options to
purchase 800,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $0.90
granted to Ms. Fanjan Wu, our Chief Financial Officer. Upon exercise of these
options, Ms. Wu delivered to us a non-interest bearing promissory note in the
amount of $720,000. While the grant of the options and the delivery of the note
were disclosed and accounted for within our financial statements in prior
periods, our disclosure of these transactions failed to disclose that Ms. Wu was
the recipient of an option grant, nor did we disclose that she had exercised the
option by delivery of the promissory note.
Section
402 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 prohibits granting credit in the form of a
personal loan to a director or executive officer of a public company. The
delivery by Ms. Wu to us of a promissory note as consideration for the payment
of the exercise price of the options was considered the extension of credit to
her and, accordingly, in violation of Section 402 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of
2002.
At
October 31, 2008 Ms. Wu owed us $54,900 under the note. As set forth below,
she has agreed to assume a portion of a liability owed by us under a note
payable to a third party in satisfaction of this amount. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, should the Securities and Exchange Commission determine to
investigate the matter, we could become subject to litigation involving the
granting of this personal loan to Ms. Wu, which such investigation and/or
litigation could involve significant time and costs and may not be resolved
favorably. Our Board of Directors is evaluating Ms. Wu's ongoing role in our
company.
As set
forth above, in February 2006 we granted options to five employees and, upon
exercise, the option holders tendered to us non-interest bearing promissory
notes representing the exercise price of the options. At October 31, 2008 the
amount outstanding under those notes was $0 and is reflected on our balance
sheet as a subscription receivable. In addition, on September 24, 2007, our
subsidiary, Sunwin Canada, borrowed $430,000 from an unaffiliated party
associated with the Chairman of our company. The loan bears no interest, is
unsecured and is due on demand. On September 5, 2008, the three employees who
collectively represented the amount of subscription receivable due us, which
included Ms. Wu our Chief Financial Officer, agreed to pay the amounts of the
subscription receivables owned by each of them directly to the lender in
satisfaction of $372,900 of the amount owned by our company and lender agreed to
accept in partial payment of amounts due him, payment by three employees of our
company. As a result of this transaction, monies due us in the amount of
$372,900, carried as a subscription receivable, were satisfied and the balance
due to related parties was reduced by a similar amount.

provide services for which we have paid.
NOTE
7 - INCOME TAXES
The
Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes". SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and
the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit
to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carryforwards. SFAS 109
additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the
likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets.
Our
subsidiaries in China are governed by the Income Tax Law of the People's
Republic of China concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign
Enterprises and local income tax laws (the "PRC Income Tax Law"). Under the PRC
Income Tax Law, beginning in January 2008, wholly-owned foreign enterprises are
subject a maximum of 25%, inclusive of state and local income
taxes.

CONSULTING
AGREEMENTS
On April
24, 2007 the Company entered into a consulting agreement with CDI Shanghai

International Corporation entered into an agreement with China Direct Inc. Under
the terms of the agreement China Direct Inc., shall assist with the business
development efforts related to Sunwin Stevia International Corp. including but
not limited to efforts related to the OnlySweet line of products. As
consideration for these services China Direct Inc. was entitled to receive an

OVERVIEW
On June
30, 2008, Qufu Natural Green entered into an agreement to acquire a 60% interest
in Qufu Shengwang Stevia Biology and Science Co., Ltd., (“Qufu Shengwang”) from
its shareholder Shandong Shengwang Group Co., Ltd., a limited liability company
organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Shandong Group”).
This transaction was completed on September 2, 2008.
Qufu
Shengwang manufactures, sells and distributes stevioside based animal feed
additives and fertilizers. Stevioside is a 100% natural sweetener
extracted from the leaves of the stevia rebaudiana plant, a green herb plant of
the Aster/Chrysanthemum family. Qufu Shengwang sells products in the
provinces of Shandong, Heilongjia, and Liaoning in China to farmers of
vegetables, fruits, flowers, and livestock.
On
September 2, 2008, Qufu Natural Green amended its June 30, 2008 Acquisition
Agreement (the “Amendment to Acquisition Agreement”) with Qufu Shengwang and
Shandong Group. Under the terms of the Amendment to Acquisition Agreement, Qufu
Natural Green agreed to acquire Shandong Group's 60% interest in Qufu
Shengwang for $6,200,413 payable in cash at closing. The purchase price
represented 60% of the revised value of the net assets of Qufu
Shengwang of $10,334,022 as of April 30, 2008. Qufu Shengwang's
net assets were reduced from $11,693,666 to $10,334,022 as a result of the
application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
(“U.S. GAAP”) which required the elimination of the difference between the fair
market value and cost basis of the land use rights recorded by Qufu Shengwang in
its financial statements prior to completion of an audit of its financial
statements as of April 30, 2008.
On
November 18, 2008, Qufu Natural Green amended the June 30, 2008 Agreement with
Qufu Shengwang and its shareholder, Shandong Group (the “Second Amendment to
Acquisition Agreement”). Under the terms of the Second Amendment to Acquisition
Agreement, Qufu Natural Green agreed to acquire Shandong Group's 60% interest in
Qufu Shengwang for $4,026,851. The purchase price represents 60% of the revised
value of the net assets of Qufu Shengwang of $6,711,418 as of April 30,
2008. The net assets of Qufu Shengwang were further revised to
account for a $698,115 decrease in the value of inventory and a $2,924,489
decrease in the value of intangible assets as of April 30, 2008.
As a
result of the Amendments to the acquisition agreement, the Company entered into
a second amendment to the Stock Sale Agreement to reduce the total number of
Shares to be purchased by Shandong Group from 29,525,776 to 19,175,480 at a
price of $.21 per share (the “Second Amendment to Stock Sale Agreement”). As a
result of the amendment to the stock sale agreement, the Company will cancel
10,350,296 Shares issued to Shandong Group and refund to Shandong Group
$2,173,562 reflecting the difference between the purchase price of $6,200,413
under the Amendment to Stock Sale Agreement and the purchase price of $4,026,851
for the Shares under the Second Amendment to the Stock Sale
Agreement. The 19,175,480 shares of Common Stock purchased by
Shandong Group represents approximately 22% of the issued and outstanding shares
of common stock of the Company prior to the transaction. The company cancelled
the 10,350,296 shares issued to Shandong Group on December 10,
2008.
Through
our subsidiaries located in the PRC, we manufacture and sell neutraceutical
products. Our focus is to provide our customers with naturally produced
nutritional food additives and nutritional supplements for both human and
veterinary consumption. Our product lines can be classified into three distinct
product groups:
|
-
|
Stevioside,
a 100% natural sweetener derived from the leaves of the stevia
plant;
|
|
-
|
Traditional
Chinese medicines and formula extracts;
and
|
|
-
|
Natural
veterinary medicines and animal food
additives.
|
For
accounting purposes, due to similarities in the processing and reporting of
naturally processed Chinese medicines and natural veterinary medicines, we
combine these two product groups into one segment. Accordingly we
report our operations in two segments:
Natural
Sweetener (Stevioside); and
Chinese
and Veterinary medicines.
Approximately
58% of our total net revenues in the first half of fiscal 2009 were derived from
our Natural Sweetener (Stevioside) segment. Our principal customers for this
segment are located in Asia, primarily China and Japan where stevioside is
approved for use as both a food additive as well as a nutritional supplement.
China has emerged as the world's largest producer of stevioside.
We also
manufacture and sell traditional Chinese medicines and formula which are
utilized in more than 200 different veterinary products.
Our
ability to significantly increase our revenues in any of these groups faces a
number of challenges. In addition to the existing laws which limit the sale of
stevioside in Western countries, we face competition in the PRC in the
manufacture and sale of stevioside. There are approximately 30 stevioside
manufacturers in China. In an effort to increase our competitive position in the
PRC, in December 2005, we completed the upgrade of our existing stevioside
production facility. This facility now has a production capacity of 300 tons of
stevioside per year. In March 2007, we completed the construction of an
additional stevioside manufacturing facility. The new facility is located in
Shuyuan Economic Zone of Qufu City, Shangdong Province. Through October
2008, we invested approximately $10,324,000 in buildings and equipment for the
new facility. The construction of the facility commenced in August 2006 and
became fully operational in July 2007. Our new stevioside manufacturing facility
is capable of producing an additional 200 tons of stevioside per year,
increasing our total annual production capacity to 500 tons. The additional
production is being marketed to consumers in China, Japan, South Korea, and
other Far Eastern countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and
India.
-23-
Both of
our operating segments are dependent upon raw materials which are harvested and
farmed. Our ability to produce our products and compete in our markets is also
subject to risks inherent in farming including weather and similar events which
may reduce the amount of raw materials we are able to purchase or at what prices
these materials are available. Further, our ability to expand our revenues from
the sale of stevioside, including our OnlySweet product, is limited as the
product is not approved for use as a food additive in most Western countries,
including the United States, Canada and the European Union. In these countries
forms of stevioside may, however, be marketed and sold as a nutritional
supplement.
All of
our product groups operate in highly competitive environments. We estimate there
are more than 200 companies in China that produce traditional Chinese medicines
and extracts and refined chemical products and 5,000 companies in China selling
veterinary medicines. The sale of our products in these two product groups is
concentrated on domestic customers; therefore, our ability to expand our
revenues in these product groups is limited to, and to a certain extent
dependent upon, economic conditions in the PRC.
While we
are a U.S. company, substantially all of our operations are located in the PRC,
and accordingly, we face certain risks associated with doing business in that
country. These risks include risks associated with the ongoing transition from
state business ownership to privatization, operating in a cash-based economy,
various government policies, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements,
export restrictions, tariffs and other trade barriers, challenges in staffing
and managing operations in a Communist country, differences in technology
standards, employment laws and business practices, longer payment cycles, and
changes in currency exchange rates and currency exchange controls. We are unable
to control the vast majority of these risks associated both with our operations
and the country in which they are located and these risks could result in
significant declines in our operating results.
FOREIGN
EXCHANGE CONSIDERATIONS
As
revenues from our operations in the PRC accounted for substantially all of our
net revenues for the six months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, how we report
net revenues from our PRC based operations is of particular importance to
understanding our financial statements. Transactions and balances originally
denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts.
Transactions and balances in other currencies are converted into U.S. dollars in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
52,"Foreign Currency Translation".
The
functional currency of our Chinese subsidiaries is the local currency, the
Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of our subsidiaries are translated to
U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and
average rates of exchange for the periods presented for revenues, costs, and
expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are
included in the consolidated statements of operations. Translation adjustments
resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial
statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income or
loss. The translation adjustment and effect of exchange rate changes on cash for
the six months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007 were $199,789 and $283,933,
respectively.
If any
increase in the value of the RMB were to occur in the future, our product sales
in China and in other countries may be negatively affected.
The
functional currency of our Canadian subsidiary is the Canadian Dollar. At
October 31, 2008 we held cash of $8,099 in banks in Canada.
-24-
As a
result of the currency translation adjustments, we reported unrealized (loss)
gains on foreign currency translation of ($119,806) and $495,306 for the three
and six months ended October 31, 2008, respectively. We reported unrealized
gains on foreign currency translation of $308,464 and $719,320 for the three and
six months ended October 31, 2007, respectively. This non-cash item had the
effect of significantly increasing our comprehensive income for both periods
presented.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following
policies as well as the Basis of Presentation included in Note 1 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) appearing elsewhere in this
quarterly report, are important to understanding and evaluating our reported
financial results.
PROPERTY
AND EQUIPMENT
We record
property and equipment at cost. Depreciation and amortization are recognized
using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets,
which are from five to twenty years. Expenditures for major renewals and
betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are
capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
incurred. We review the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment at
least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If such assets are
considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair
market value.
SHARE-BASED
COMPENSATION
We
account for stock options issued to employees in accordance with the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement 123R, "Share-Based Payment, an
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 " ("FAS 123R"). FAS 123R requires companies
to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock
options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees as an expense in
our statements of operations over the service period of each award.
REVENUE
RECOGNITION
We follow
the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting
Bulletin 104 and SAB Topic 13 for revenue recognition. In general, we record
revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been
rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is
fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157; "Fair Value Measurements". This
statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
in generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting
pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having
previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is a
relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any
new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this
Statement will change current practices. This Statement is effective for
financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The
adoption of SFAS 157 has not had a material effect on our consolidated financial
statements.
-25-
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business
Combinations". SFAS 141R is a revision of SFAS 141 and includes substantial
changes to the acquisition method used to account for business combinations
(formerly the "purchase accounting" method), including broadening the definition
of a business, as well as revisions to accounting methods for contingent
consideration and other contingencies related to the acquired business,
accounting for transaction costs, and accounting for adjustment to provisional
amounts recorded in connection with acquisitions. SFAS 141R retains the
fundamental requirement of SFAS 141, that the acquisition method of accounting
be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for
each business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for periods beginning on or
after December 15, 2008, and will apply to all business combinations occurring
after the effective date. We are currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS
141R and the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial
statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, "Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin
No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements" ("ARB 51"). This Statement amends ARB
51 to establish new standards that will govern the (1) accounting for and
reporting of non-controlling interests in partially owned consolidated
subsidiaries and (2) the loss of control of subsidiaries. Non-controlling
interest will be reported as part of equity in the consolidated financial
statements. Losses will be allocated to the non-controlling interest, and, if
control is maintained, changes in ownership interests will be treated as equity
transactions. Upon a loss of control, any gain or loss on the interest sold will
be recognized in earnings. SFAS 160 is effective for periods beginning after
December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS 160 and
the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities". The new standard is intended to improve financial
reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring
enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on
an entity's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. It is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods
beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. We are
currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 161 on our consolidated
financial statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles". This standard is intended to improve financial reporting
by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting
principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following
approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board's amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning
of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles".
We do not expect SFAS No. 162 to have a material impact on the preparation of
our consolidated financial statements.
On June
16, 2008, the FASB issued final Staff Position ("FSP") No. EITF 03-6-1,
"Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are
Participating Securities", to address the question of whether instruments
granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior
to vesting. The FSP determines that unvested share-based payment awards that
contain rights to dividend payments should be included in earnings per share
calculations. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the requirements of FSP No. EITF
03-6-1 and the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial
statements.
On
October 10, 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”) No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a
Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not
Active. This FASB Staff Position (FSP) clarifies the
application of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, in a market that
is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in
determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that
financial asset is not active. Statement 157 was issued in September 2006, and
is effective for financial assets and financial liabilities for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. We have adopted SFAS 157-3
and determined that it had no impact as of September 30, 2008, and we will
continue to evaluate the impact, if any, of SFAS 157-3 on our financial
statements.
A variety
of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under
study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to
the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, management has
not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be
material to our consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Overall
For the
three and six month periods ended October 31, 2008, our total net revenues
increased to $6,559,912 and $12,787,784, respectively. This represents an
increase over the same periods in 2007 of $875,723 and $2,886,358 or
approximately 13% and 29% for the three and six month periods ended October 31,
2008, respectively. This increase reflects increases in sales in our Natural
Sweetener (Stevioside) segment. Our acquisition of Qufu Shengwang which was
concluded on September 2, 2008 contributed $149,299 of net revenues during their
two months of our consolidated operations in our financial statements for the
three months ended October 31, 2008We attribute the overall increase to improved
reception and demand for natural or "green" products for both human and animal
consumption as well as increased recognition in the benefits of herbal medicines
for many health related indications. While there can be no assurance, we
anticipate a continued acceptance and increase in demand for more natural
products to continue for the foreseeable future.
For the
three and six months ended October 31, 2008, cost of revenues as a percentage of
net revenues were approximatley 74.9% and approximately 75.3%, respectively
compared to approximatley 74.3% and approximately 71.7%, respectively, for the
comparable periods in fiscal 2008. While costs of revenues as a
percentage of net revenues remained relatively constant in the comparable three
month eperiods, the increase in the most recently concludedfrom the six months
ended October 31, 2007 is due to an increase in coal prices in the PRC between
the periods reported. This increase affects our costs both directly through our
own energy costs as well as indirectly through related increases in PRC sourced
raw materials on which we are dependant. Despite the decrease in our gross
profit percentage relative to sales, our total gross profit increased
approximately 13% in each of the fiscal 2009 periods from the comparable periods
in fiscal 2008 which is due to our increase in overall sales
levels.
For each
of the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2008, total operating
expenses compared to the same periods in 2007, decreased by $146,576 and
$55,264, respectively. Components of operating expenses did however fluctuate.
Selling expenses declined approximately 47% and approximately 34% between the
periods due mainly to the completion of our expanded marketing program
within our Natural Sweetener (Stevioside) segment related to the launch of our
OnlySweet sweetener product in the U.S. in the prior year. This decrease in
costs was largely offset by an increase in management fees paid to
Pharmaceutical Corporation, a company controlled by our Chairman, which in
included in our general and administrative expenses.

Natural
Sweetener (Stevioside)
For the
three and six months ended October 31, 2008, net revenues from our Natural
Sweetener (Stevioside) segment represented approximately 57% and 60%,
respectively of our total net revenues as compared to approximately 56% for the
prior period. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2008, net revenues
from our Natural Sweetener (Stevioside) segment increased $936,353 and
$2,078,453, respectively or approximately 40% and 37%, respectively over the
preceding period. We attribute these increase in the net revenues from this
segment to increased sales efforts in the PRC, $299,235 of net revenues from the
sale of our OnlySweet line of products in North America for the six months ended
October 31, 2008, and $149,299 in net revenues contributed by our recent
acquisition, Qufu Shengwang, during September and October of 2008. We
believe the market for stevioside will remain strong as consumers continue to
seek alternative, more natural, sweeteners in their diets. In addition we are
continuing our efforts to introduce stevioside as a food additive in those
jurisdictions, such as Canada, where approval is limited to supplemental status
only.
During
the three and six months ended October 31, 2008, cost of sales as a percentage
of sales related to our Natural Sweetener (Stevioside) segment was approximately
78% and 79%, respectively, remaining relatively constant when compared to the
same periods of fiscal 2007. Local farmers have increased production of stevia
leaves in response to growing demand. Due to the increased supply, we ceased our
policy of contracting local farmers to grow stevia leaves for our designated
production. While we believe this is a financially sound decision, our cost of
sales in this segment may be subject to more volatile swings in raw material
costs based on variables such as demand, farming related fuel costs, and farming
conditions. In addition, our new stevioside production facility became
operational in July 2007. During the six months ended October 31, 2008, our
gross profit increased $379,231, or approximately 31% over 2007.
-28-
For the
three and six month period ended October 31, 2008 operating expenses for our
Natural Sweetener (Stevioside) segment decreased $61,300 and $158,252,
respectivley. These decreases are primarily attributable to significant
selling and marketing costs incurred during the six months ended October 31,
2007 related to our promotion campaign in the U.S. to launch our OnlySweet
sweetener. This campaign, with its related costs, was scaled down to reduce
costs.
Chinese
and Veterinary Medicines
For the
three and six months ended October 31, 2008, net revenues from our Chinese and
Veterinary medicine segment totaled $2,417,941, and $5,126,716, respectively.
This represents an increase of $530,599 and $807,905, or approximately 28% and
19% for the three and six month periods, respectively compared to fiscal 2007.
During the six months period, revenues from this segment represented
approximately 40% of our total net revenues as compared to approximately 44% for
fiscal 2008. Due to the growing demand for natural or naturally produced
medicinal products, we expect revenues from the segment to increase, however, we
expect this segment, as a portion of our overall revenues, will continue to
decrease as we continue to emphasize our stevioside segment.
For the
three and six months ended October 31, 2008, cost of sales in our Chinese and
veterinary medicine segment represented approximately 69% and 70%, respectively
of net revenues for this segment, as compared to 67% and 64%, respectively of
net revenues during the same period in fiscal 2008. This increase was due in
large part to an increase in coal price in the PRC between the periods reported.
This increase affects our costs both directly, through our own energy and
transportation costs as well as indirectly, through related increases in PRC
sourced raw materials on which we are dependant.
During
the three and six months ended October 31, 2008, operating expenses associated
with our Chinese and veterinary medicine segment totaled $489,046 and
$1,016,104, respectively as compared to $496,929 and $794,203, respectively for
the prior period. This significant increase was primarily due to a bad debt
recovery in 2007 of approximately $210,000. This recovery offset bad debt
expense and was included in general and administrative expenses in the prior
period. Absent this recovery, operating expenses would have increased 1% between
the periods. We expect operating expenses related to this segment to remain
consistent with historical levels for the foreseeable future.
Corporate
and Other
We incur
various operating expenses at the corporate level related to legal, auditing,
and other professional resources. For the six months ended October 31, 2008,
these expenses decreased $118,913 from the comparable period in fiscal
2008 as we become less dependent on outside resources and as well we scaled
down the expenses related to our North American operations.
NET
INCOME AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Net
income for the three and six months ended October 31, 2008 totaled $417,831 and
$715,465, respectively, compared to $178,873 and $487,511 for the same periods
in fiscal 2008. These increases in our net income reflects our increasing
revenues and related gross profits as compared to the prior fiscal year, offset
by an increase in general administration expenses primarily due to the overall
increase in operational activities in our Stevioside segment.
For the
three and six months ended October 31, 2008, we reported other comprehensive
(loss) income of ($119,815) and $495,297, respectively. This is a decrease of
$224,023, or approximately 31%, compared to the six months ended October 31,
2008 and 2007. Other comprehensive income represents unrealized gains and losses
on foreign currency translation and is a non-cash item. As described elsewhere
in this report, the functional currency of our Chinese subsidiaries is the RMB.
The financial statements of our subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars
using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates
of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and
losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the
consolidated statements of operations.

We cannot
be certain that we could have ready access to our cash should we wish to
transfer it to bank accounts outside the PRC nor can we be certain that the
Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose more stringent restrictions on
the convertibility of the Renminbi, especially with respect to foreign exchange
transactions.
Accounts
receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, at October 31, 2008
decreased approximately $422,148 from April 30, 2008. While our allowance for
doubtful accounts increased $47,985 from April 30, 2008, we may, however,
collect all or a portion of these doubtful accounts. The 10% decrease in
our accounts receivable at October 31, 2008 was due primarily to increased
collection efforts in both operational segments.

At
October 31, 2008, inventories, net of reserve for obsolete inventory, increased
$4,519,250 or approximately 96%, as compared to April 30, 2008. This increase
was due mainly to an increase in levels of stevia leaves on hand to meet the
needs of our increased production capacity of stevioside and due to our new
acquisition of Qufu Shengwang which held $800,501 of inventory.
Prepaid
expenses and other current assets decreased $91,030 or approximately 34% at
October 31, 2008 as compared to April 30, 2008. This decrease was mainly
attributable to a decrease in advances to suppliers in our veterinary medicine
line of products that reflected deposits relating to the orders for inventory in
the ordinary course of business which were subsequently
received.
At
October 31, 2008, we had property and equipment, net of accumulated
depreciation, of $17,234,044 as compared to $14,151,293 at April 30, 2008. This
increase reflects investments in buildings and equipment primarily related to
our expansion in capacity in our stevioside production facilities and our recent
acquisition of Qufu Shengwang which contributed approximately $3.5 million. We
have no capital expenditures commitments in fiscal year 2009.
At
October 31, 2008, we reflected $4,234,322 of accounts payable and accrued
expenses, an increase of approximately $1,584,505 from April 30, 2008. This
balance includes trade accounts payable and accrued expenses of $4,066,137 and
accrued salaries and benefits of $168,185. Of the total accounts payable and
accrued expenses at October 31, 2008, approximately $3,267,259 relates to our
Stevioside segment, $831,264 relates to our Chinese and Veterinary Medicine
segment and $135,799 relates to our corporate operations. The increase at
October 31, 2008 from April 30, 2008 reflects the overall increase in our level
of operations and the acquisition of Qufu Shengwang.
At
October 31, 2008, we held cash of $6,782,197 as compared to cash of $6,811,136
at April 30, 2008, a decrease of $28,939. While we did borrow $100,000 during
the six months ended October 31, 2008, the decrease is primarily a result of
timing differences in payments of liabilities and receipts of cash from
sales.
During
the six months ended October 31, 2008, net cash used in operating activities was
$479,708, net cash provided by investing activities was $229,234, and net cash
provided by financing activities was $100,000. The effect of prevailing exchange
rate on cash was $121,535 as compared to $$283,933 for the six months ended
October 31, 2007.
Net cash
used in operating activities decreased to $479,708 during the six months ended
October 31, 2008 as compared to cash used in operating activities of $2,332,129
for the prior period in fiscal 2008. For the six months ended October 31, 2008,
our material sources of cash included net income of $715,465. In addition,
we add back non-cash depreciation of $766,070, and stock-based compensation of
$247,496. Further, cash from operations was increased by a $473,858 decrease in
accounts receivable and $1,348,826 increase in accounts payable. These increases
were offset by cash used to stockpile inventory during the stevia leaves harvest
season representing an increase in inventory of $3,619,213 which includes
$801,000 worth of inventory related to our acquisition of Qufu Shengwang.
Comparatively, for the six months ended October 31, 2007, we used $2,882,449 to
fund increases in inventory, $784,857 to reduce accounts payable and accrued
expenses and $120,407 in increased levels of accounts receivable. These uses
were offset by a reduction in prepaid expenses and other current assets of
$1,050 and an advance from related parties of $430,043.
During
the six months ended October 31, 2008, net cash provided by investing activities
totaled $229,234 which is comprised of $410,704 of cash acquired during our
acquisition of Qufu Shengwang, offset by capital expenditures of $181,470, as
compared to cash used in investment during 2007 for capital expenditures of
$607,272 during the six months ended October 31, 2007. During fiscal 2008, the
majority of the capital expenditures related to construction and completion of a
new stevioside facility.
Net cash
provided by financing activities totaled $100,000 during the six months ended
October 31, 2008 and was all attributable to one secured loan during the period.
On July 1, 2008, the Company and Mr. Laiwang Zhang, our President and Chairman,
entered into a $100,000 note payable agreement with China Direct Investments,
Inc., a consultant to the Company. The note bears interest at 6% per annum, and
is secured by 400,000 shares of our common stock held by Mr. Laiwang Zhang, and
is due with all related accrued interest on July 1, 2009. During the six months
ended October 31, 2007 cash provided by financing activities was $713,154
comprised of proceeds from the exercise of warrants.

Transactions
with related parties
We pay
Pharmaceutical Corporation management fees for services including housing
provided to certain of our non-management employees, government mandatory
insurance for our employees and rent for our principal offices and the use of
research and development facilities. Pharmaceutical Corporation is controlled by
our President and Chairman, Mr. Laiwang Zhang. The amount of the management fee
is discretionary, subject to increase at Mr. Zhang's discretion. For the six
months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007 this management fee was $264,365 and
$112,224, respectively, which such amounts are included in our general and
administrative expenses in the respective financial statements appearing
elsewhere in this report.
On
September 5, 2008, a creditor of the Company agreed to accept $372,900 as
partial payment of amounts due to them. The three employees of the
Company, owed us $372,900 relating to the exercise of common stock options. As a
result of this transaction, $372,900 due the Company, carried as a
subscription receivable, was satisfied and the balance due to related parties
was reduced by a similar amount.
On
September 2, 2008, our wholly owned subsidiary, Qufu amended its June 30, 2008
Acquisition Agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement Amendment") with Qufu
Shengwang and its shareholder Group Corporation.
On
November 18, 2008, Qufu Natural Green amended the June 30, 2008 Agreement with
Qufu Shengwang and its shareholder, Shandong Group (the “Second Amendment to
Acquisition Agreement”). Under the terms of the Second Amendment to Acquisition
Agreement, Qufu Natural Green agreed to acquire Shandong Group's 60% interest in
Qufu Shengwang for $4,026,851. The purchase price represents 60% of the revised
value of the net assets of Qufu Shengwang of $6,711,418 as of April 30,
2008. The net assets of Qufu Shengwang were further revised to
account for a $698,115 decrease in the value of inventory and a $2,924,489
decrease in the value of intangible assets as of April 30, 2008.
As a
result of the Second Amendment to Acquisition Agreement, on November 18, 2008
the Company entered into a second amendment to the Stock Sale Agreement to
reduce the total number of Shares to be purchased by Shandong Group from
29,525,776 to 19,175,480 at a price of $.21 per share (the “Second Amendment to
Stock Sale Agreement”). As a result of the Second Amendment to Stock Sale
Agreement, the Company will cancel 10,350,296 Shares issued to Shandong Group
and refund to Shandong Group $2,173,562 reflecting the difference between the
purchase price of $6,200,413 under the Amendment to Stock Sale Agreement and the
purchase price of $4,026,851 for the Shares under the Second Amendment to the
Stock Sale Agreement. The 19,175,480 shares of Common
Stock purchased by Shandong Group represents approximately 22% of the
issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company prior to the
transaction.
In
addition, the Stock Sale Agreement Amendment provides that in the event Qufu
Shengwang does not earn a minimum of $5,000,000 in net income as determined in
accordance with U.S. GAAP (the "Target Amount") over a period of 36 consecutive
months beginning the first day of the month following the closing of the stock
purchase (the "Earnings Target Period"), then Group Corporation shall be
obligated to return to us a number of shares of common stock equal to an amount
computed by multiplying (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Target
Amount less the amount of Qufu Shengwang's net income earned over the Earnings
Target Period and the denominator is the Target Amount; by (ii) 29,525,776, the
number of shares purchase under the Stock Sale Agreement Amendment. The closing
under the Stock Sale Agreement Amendment shall take place no later than
September 30, 2008.
At
October 31, 2008 Ms. Wu, our Chief Financial Officer, owed us $54,900
under the note. As set forth below, she has agreed to assume a portion of a
liability owed by us under a note payable to a third party in satisfaction of
this amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the Securities and Exchange
Commission determine to investigate the matter, we could become subject to
litigation involving the granting of this personal loan to Ms. Wu, which such
investigation and/or litigation could involve significant time and costs and may
not be resolved favorably. Our Board of Directors is evaluating Ms. Wu's ongoing
role in our company.
As set
forth above, in February 2006 we granted options to five employees and, upon
exercise, the option holders tendered to us non-interest bearing promissory
notes representing the exercise price of the options. At October 31, 2008 the
amount outstanding under those notes was $0 and is reflected on our balance
sheet as a subscription receivable. In addition, on September 24, 2007, our
subsidiary, Sunwin Canada, borrowed $430,000 from an unaffiliated party
associated with the Chairman of our company. The loan bears no interest, is
unsecured and is due on demand. On September 5, 2008, the three employees who
collectively represented the amount of subscription receivable due us, which
included Ms. Wu our Chief Financial Officer, agreed to pay the amounts of the
subscription receivables owned by each of them directly to the lender in
satisfaction of $372,900 of the amount owned by our company and lender agreed to
accept in partial payment of amounts due him, payment by three employees of our
company. As a result of this transaction, monies due us in the amount of
$372,900, carried as a subscription receivable, were satisfied and the balance
due to related parties was reduced by a similar amount.
During
fiscal 2009, we may seek to raise additional working capital to further augment
our cash position and to provide additional funds for expansion through
acquisition, and expanded marketing and distribution as we seek to bring
distribution of stevioside to North American markets. We do not have any
firm commitments for any additional capital and there are no assurances we
will obtain a commitment upon terms and conditions which are acceptable to
us.

4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
As
required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of October
31, 2008, the end of the period covered by this report, our management concluded
its evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are
controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required
to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods prescribed by SEC rules and regulations, and to reasonably assure
that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error
and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can
provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's
objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the
fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be
considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in
decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple
error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon
certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no
assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all
potential future conditions.
As of the
evaluation date, our CEO and CFO have concluded that we do not maintain
disclosure controls and procedures that are effective in providing reasonable
assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods prescribed by SEC rules and regulations, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. The decision by our management is based
upon two recent events, including:
As
previously disclosed in our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 12, 2008,
our Board of Directors determined on September 11, 2008 that our consolidated
financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008 could no longer be
relied upon as they contained an error. This error related to the liability of
advances from customers, which was overstated by $570,090. The advance was, in
fact, an advance from one of our subsidiaries to another subsidiary, that, had
it been accounted for correctly, would have been eliminated in consolidation. As
a result of this error, our management has determined that we failed to maintain
effective controls to review and reconcile intercompany transactions. Our
financial statements and disclosures were restated to correct for this matter
and were included in Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on September 15,
2008.
During
the preparation of this report we determined that the prior disclosure
surrounding the granting of options in February 2006 to certain of our employees
and the subsequent exercise of those options through the delivery of
non-interest bearing notes was incorrect. While the option grants and promissory
notes were properly accounted for, our historical disclosure had failed to
properly disclose that Ms. Fanjan Wu, our Chief Financial Officer was a party to
those transactions. She was the recipient of options to purchase 800,000 shares
of common stock and tendered to us a non-interest bearing promissory note in the
amount of $720,000. At July 31, 2008 the amount due under that note was $54,900.
As described later in this report, that amount has been satisfied through the
assumption of a third party debt. As a result of this error, our management has
determined that we failed to maintain effective controls to properly record
related party transactions.
Accordingly,
management determined that these control deficiencies constitute material
weaknesses. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of
control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a
material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be
prevented or detected. As a result of these material weaknesses, our management
has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not
effective as of April 30, 2008. Our management believes that significant
remediation measures are required in order to improve our disclosure
controls.
-34-
Our Chief
Financial Officer and our staff within our finance and accounting group in China
do not have the requisite expertise in the proper application of United States
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and the securities laws of the
United States to ensure that the requisite information is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC rules and
regulations, and to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Accordingly, until such time as we have properly trained our
internal accounting staff, including our Chief Financial Officer, in the
application of US GAAP and compliance with the securities laws of the United
States we may experience additional and/or continuing material weaknesses in
our disclosure controls that may result in errors in our financial
statements in future periods.
There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our
last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
