(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. a Chinese limited liability company and its
subsidiaries ("Qufu Natural Green"), and Sunwin Stevia International Corp., a
Florida corporation ("Sunwin Stevia").
Through
Qufu Natural Green, with its principal offices located in Qufu, China 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
Natural Green was founded in 1999 and was re-registered in 2004 to amend its
capital structure. Qufu Natural Green has three wholly owned subsidiaries also
located in the PRC:
·
|
Shengya
Veterinary Medicine Co., Ltd.;
|
|
·
|
Shengyuan
Herb Extraction Co., Ltd.;
|
|
·
|
Qufu
Chinese Medicine Factory;
|
In
addition in September 2008, Qufu Natural Green acquired a 60% interest in Qufu
Shengwang Stevia Biology and Science Co., Ltd., (“Qufu Shengwang”) from Shandong
Shengwang Group Co., Ltd., a Chinese limited liability (“Shandong Group”). 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, Heilongjiang, and Liaoning in China to farmers of
vegetables, fruits, flowers, and livestock.
Under the
terms of the acquisition, Qufu Natural Green acquired 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.
Pursuant
to the acquisition of Qufu Shengwang, the Company entered into a Stock Sale
Agreement with Shandong Group purchased 19,175,480 shares of common stock for
$4,026,851.
In
addition to Qufu Natural Green, we also operate through two North American
subsidiaries, which are active in marketing Qufu Natural Green's products in
North America:
·
|
Sunwin
Stevia International Corp. (“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.
On
February 5, 2009, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with
Wild Flavors, Inc. (“Wild Flavors”) to purchase 20,000,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock at a price of $.15 per share (the “Wild Flavors Stock”)
together with five-year warrants to purchase 26,666,666 shares of common
stock with an exercise price of $0.35 per share. Upon completion of the sale of
the shares and other transactions agreed to in connection with the Securities
Purchase Agreement, Wild Flavors now owns approximately 15.7% of the issued
and outstanding common stock of the Company. Please see Note 13
below.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued
(UNAUDITED)
BASIS OF
PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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 result of operations and cash flows for the
three and nine months ended January 31, 2009, 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 U.S. GAAP 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 nine months ended
January 31, 2009 and 2008 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.

SUNWIN
INTERNATIONAL NEUTRACEUTICALS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued
(UNAUDITED)
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 January 31, 2009 and April 30, 2008, the allowances for
doubtful accounts were $498,422 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
(LOAN) 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.
During the three months ended January 31, 2009 the Company received
$80,000 from a unaffiliated third party, the short-term loan bears no interest
and the borrower satisfied the loan on March 5, 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 nine months ended January 31, 2009 and
2008 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 January 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 January 31, 2009 or 2008,
respectively.

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 $5,393,858 and $3,964,662 at January 31, 2009 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 period-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 January 31, 2009 and 2008 were $136,287 and
$730,725, 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 nine
months ended January 31, 2009 was $77,607 and $1,288,369,
respectively. Comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended
January 31, 2008 was $1,591,153 and $2,797,984, respectively. Comprehensive
income for the periods 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 January 31, 2009, we had $6,912,478 on deposit in China, which is not
insured. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts through January 31,
2009.
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 March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS
161 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 requirements of
SFAS 161 and the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial
statements.
In May
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff
Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1,
Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon
Conversion (Including
Partial Cash Settlement. FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt
instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional
conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12
of APB Opinion No. 14,
Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase
Warrants. Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such
instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in
a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when
interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt FSP APB 14-1
beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, and this standard must be
applied on a retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of
FSP APB 14-1 will have on our consolidated financial position and results of
operations.
In May
2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“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
September 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, as well
as the impact of the 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 December 31, 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 $347,274 and $144,337 for the nine months ended
January 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At January 31, 2009, the Company owed
Shengwang Group Corporation $1,478 for management fees. See Note 13
below.
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.
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 January 31,
2009 and April 30, 2008 the amount outstanding under those notes was $0 and
$372,900, respectively, 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.

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 carry-forwards. 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

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 this
amendment, on December 10, 2008, the Company cancelled 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 and the
purchase price of $4,026,851 for the Shares under the 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

NOTE 12 – PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF
ACQUISITIONS (UNAUDITED)
Acquisition
of a 60% interest in Qufu Shengwang
The
unaudited pro forma Combined financial statements are presented to illustrate
the estimated effects of Sunwin International Neutraceuticals, Inc. having
entered into a purchase agreement with Qufu Shengwang. On June 30, 2008, QuFu
Natural Green Engineering Co., Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Qufu Shengwang and its shareholder
Shandong Shengwang Group Co., Ltd., a limited liability company organized under
the laws of the People’s Republic of China. Under the terms of the Agreement,
Qufu Natural Green agreed to acquire Shandong Group’s 60% interest in Qufu
Shengwang for a price of $7,016,200 payable in cash at closing. Shandong Group
is owned by Laiwang Zhang, the Company’s president and its chairman of the
board of directors. The purchase price under the Agreement represents 60% of the
value of the net tangible assets of Qufu Shengwang of $11,693,666, as of October
31, 2008.
Amendment
to Acquisition Agreement
On
September 2, 2008, Qufu Natural Green amended its June 30, 2008 acquisition
agreement with Qufu Shengwang and its 60% shareholder, 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 represents 60% of the revised
value of the net tangible 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.
Second
Amendment to Acquisition Agreement
On
November 18, 2008, Qufu Natural Green amended the June 30, 2008 acquisition
agreement with Qufu Shengwang and its shareholder, Shandong Group. 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 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.
Stock
Sale Agreement
On June
30, 2008, the Company entered into a Stock Sale and Purchase Agreement with
Shandong Group to purchase up to 29,000,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock, $0.001 par value per share at a price of $.25 per share upon completion
of the Qufu Shengwang acquisition.
Amendment
to Stock Sale Agreement
As a
result of the Amendment to Acquisition Agreement, on September 2, 2008, the
Company entered into an Amendment to the Stock Sale agreement to sell up to
29,525,776 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Shandong Group at a price of
$.21 per share upon completion of the Qufu Shengwang acquisition. In
addition, the Amendment to Stock Sale Agreement 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"), Shandong Group shall be
obligated to return 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) the number of
shares of Common Stock purchased by Shandong Group under the Stock Sale
Agreement.

Second
Amendment to Stock Sale Agreement
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 of the Company’s Common Stock to be purchased
by Shandong Group from 29,525,776 to 19,175,480 at a price of $.21 per
share. As a result of the Second Amendment to Stock Sale Agreement, the Company
canceled 10,350,296 shares of its Common Stock issued to Shandong Shengwang on
December 10, 2008 and refunded from Shandong Shengwang $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 of Common
Stock 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.
Qufu
Shengwang is a Chinese limited liability company formed in August 2007 as a
foreign invested entity by Shandong Group and Korea Stevia Co., Ltd. (“Korea

The pro
forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not
necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would
have occurred had the acquisition of Qufu Shengwang by the Company occurred as
of the periods presented, or during the operational periods presented, nor is it
necessarily indicative of the future financial position or operating
results.
These pro
forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
historical financial statements of the Company, and the related financial
statements for Qufu Shengwang included in the Form 8-K/A filed on November 26,
2008.
An
allocation of the purchase price has been made to major categories of assets and
liabilities in the accompanying pro forma financial statements based on
available information. The actual allocation of purchase price and the resulting
effect on income from operations may differ significantly from the pro forma
amounts included herein. These pro forma adjustments represent the Company’s
preliminary determination of purchase accounting adjustments and are based upon
available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes to be
reasonable. Consequently, the amounts reflected in the pro forma financial
statements are subject to change, and the final amounts may differ
substantially.
The
accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not give
effect to any cost savings, revenue synergies or restructuring costs which may
result from the integration of the Company and the operations of Qufu Shengwang.
Further, actual results may be different from these unaudited pro forma combined
financial statements.
The
following pro forma combined financial information presented below, gives effect
to the acquisitions, in 2008, of Qufu Shenwang. This acquisition was accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting prescribed by SFAS 141. The below
presentation is prepared as if the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning
of the fiscal year of acquisition.
Qufu
Shengwang was established on August 20, 2007. The operations from its date
of inception through January 31, 2008 have been minimal, accordingly, no
pro-forma financial information is presented for the three and six months ended

NOTE
13 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On
February 5, 2009, the Company entered into a Securities
Purchase Agreement with Wild Flavors to purchase 20,000,000 shares of
the Company’s common stock at a price of $.15 per share together
with five year warrants to purchase 26,666,666 shares of common stock with
an exercise price of $0.35 per share. Upon completion of the sale of the Shares
and other transactions agreed to in connection with the Securities Purchase
Agreement, Wild Flavors owns approximately 15.7% of the issued and outstanding
common stock of the Company. The Company paid fees in connection with
the Securities Purchase Agreement to Mr. Jeffrey Reynolds, CEO of Sunwin Stevia,
of $100,000 in cash and issued Mr. Reynolds 1,000,000 shares of its Common Stock
which will be valued at the fair market value. In addition, the Company
paid legal fees to its counsel associated with the Securities Purchase
Agreement. After payment of these fees and costs associated with the Wild
Flavors Offering, the Company received net proceed of approximately
$2,885,000. The net proceeds of this offering will be used for expansion
of the Company's Stevia production facilities in China and general corporate
purposes.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company converted its
wholly owned subsidiary, Sunwin Stevia, into a Delaware limited liability
company. In exchange for its contribution of Sunwin Stevia’s current
capital, the Company received 5,500 membership units in Sunwin Stevia, a 55%
interest after giving effect to the issuance of membership units to Wild
Flavors. In addition, the Company issued to Wild Flavors 4,500
membership units (a 45% interest) in Sunwin Stevia in exchange for Wild Flavors’
agreement to provide sales, marketing, logistics and supply chain management,
product development and regulatory services to Sunwin Stevia over a period of
two years beginning on February 5, 2009 (the “Services”). The Company and Wild
Flavors agreed that the value of the Services is $1,000,000. In addition,
Wild Flavors agreed to act as the sole manager of Sunwin Stevia and will be
responsible for all of its business and affairs as provided for in the proposed
form of the Operating Agreement to be entered into between Wild Flavors and the
Company. In addition, Wild Flavors has the right of first refusal to purchase
additional membership units in Sunwin Stevia at $222.22 per unit to provide any
additional capital required by Sunwin Stevia as jointly determined by the
Company and Wild Flavors.
Under the
terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Wild Flavors has the option to
exchange its 45% interest in Sunwin Stevia into 6,666,666 shares of the
Company’s common stock at any time until December 31, 2010 (the “Exchange
Option”). Wild Flavors is also entitled to a bonus option which would
entitle it to receive the greater of 6% of the issued and outstanding membership
units of Sunwin Stevia or the number of membership units of Sunwin Stevia
necessary to get Wild Flavor’s ownership interest to 51% if (i) Sunwin Stevia
achieves cumulative pre-tax profits of $3,000,000 on or before December 31, 2011
computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP exclusive of the cost of product liability
insurance and (ii) Wild Flavors has not exercised its Exchange Option (the
“Bonus Option”). Upon exercise of the Bonus Option, Wild Flavors is obligated to
pay Sunwin Stevia an aggregate exercise price of $1,000.00. The Bonus
Option expires upon the earlier of the date when one of the above conditions can
no longer be satisfied and July 1, 2012.
Pharmaceutical
Corporation has orally agreed to waive the management fees it charges the
Company related to Sunwin Stevia's operations beginning in February
2009. In addition, Pharmaceutical Corporation has agreed that starting
January 2010, the maximum consulting fee that will be charged to the Company by
Pharmaceutical Corporation will be approximately $175,508 (RMB1,200,000) per
year.
On
February 5, 2009, the Company entered into a Distributorship Agreement with its
subsidiary, Sunwin Stevia and Wild Flavors for the worldwide distribution of the
Company’s Stevia sweetener products. The Distributorship Agreement is
for an initial term of 60 months with automatic renewal terms of 12 successive
36 month renewal periods.
As part
of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company, Wild Flavors and certain
shareholders of the Company owning approximately 34.12% of the Company’s common
stock (the “Sunwin Shareholders”) entered into a Stockholders Agreement dated
February 5, 2009. The Stockholders Agreement provides that so long as
Wild Flavors owns at least 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, the
parties will vote or cause their shares of the common stock to be voted to elect
two members of the Company’s board of directors designated by Wild Flavors and
three members designated by the Sunwin Shareholders.
In March
2007 as a component of a unit equity capital raise, the Company issued five-year
common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,793,750 shares of
its common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.65 per
share. There are an aggregate of 9,696,590 of the warrants that
remain issued and outstanding. The shares of common stock issuable
upon the exercise of the warrants are covered by an effective registration
statement. On February 20, 2009, the Board of Directors of the
Company approved the permanent reduction in the exercise price of the warrants
to $0.15 per share. The last sale price of the Company’s common stock
on February 20, 2009 as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board was
$0.30. Other than the reduction in the exercise price, all of terms
and conditions of the warrants remain unchanged.
CAUTIONARY
STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain
statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q contain or may contain
forward-looking statements that are subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements were based on various factors and were derived
utilizing numerous assumptions and other factors that could cause our actual
results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These
factors include, but are not limited to, economic, political and market
conditions and fluctuations, government and industry regulation, interest rate
risk, global competition, and other factors as they relate to our doing business
solely within the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). Most of these factors are
difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our control. You should
consider the areas of risk described in connection with any forward-looking
statements that may be made herein. Readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of
this report. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information
under the Federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release
publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to
report the occurrence of unanticipated events.
We are on
an April 30 fiscal year. The coming fiscal year
ending April 30, 2009 is referred to as “fiscal 2009”, the fiscal year
ended April 30, 2008 is referred to as “fiscal 2008”. The nine month
period ending January 31, 2009 is the third quarter of fiscal 2009, while
the nine month period ended January 31, 2008 was the third quarter of
fiscal 2008.
OVERVIEW
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
62% of our total net revenues in the first nine months 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 January
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.
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.
During
fiscal 2009 we have closed two transactions which we believe will have a
positive impact on our business in future periods. In September 2008,
our subsidiary Qufu Natural Green acquired a 60% interest in Qufu Shengwang
Stevia Biology and Science Co., Ltd., (“Qufu Shengwang”) from Shandong Shengwang
Group Co., Ltd., a Chinese limited liability (“Shandong Group”). Qufu Shengwang
manufactures, sells and distributes stevioside based animal feed additives and
fertilizers Qufu Shengwang sells products in the provinces of Shandong,
Heilongjia, and Liaoning in China to farmers of vegetables, fruits, flowers, and
livestock.
In
February 2009 we entered into a series of transactions with Wild Flavors,
including:
·
|
we
sold it 20,000,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.15
per share and issued it five year warrants to purchase an additional
26,666,666 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $0.35 per
share resulting in proceeds to us of $3,000,000;
|
|
·
|
we
agreed to convert our Sunwin Stevia subsidiary, into a Delaware limited
liability company. In exchange for our contribution of Sunwin
Stevia’s current capital, we received a 55% interest and Wild Flavors
received a 45% interest in exchange for Wild Flavors’ agreement to provide
sales, marketing, logistics and supply chain management, product
development and regulatory services to Sunwin Stevia over a period of two
years. Wild Flavors will act as the sole manager of Sunwin
Stevia and will be responsible for all of its business and affairs;
and.
|
|
·
|
we
entered into a Distributorship Agreement with Sunwin Stevia and Wild
Flavors for the worldwide distribution of the our Stevia sweetener
products. The Distributorship Agreement is for an initial term
of 60 months with automatic renewal terms of 12 successive 36 month
renewal periods.
|
We intend
to partner with Wild Flavors to obtain U.S. Food and Drug Administration
GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status for our stevia extracts. Wild
Flavors expects to quickly commercialize many new and innovative product
concepts and offerings with current customers for immediate entry in the market
and opening doors to new clients for access to zero-calorie, natural sweetening
systems. We are committed to sustainable production and supply
of the highest quality stevia extracts available. The companies
expect that the technological synergies between our production
knowledge, and Wild Flavors’ management systems and product development
techniques, will result in volume growth and opportunity through new routes to
market and ensure the highest quality and best tasting products
available.
FOREIGN
EXCHANGE CONSIDERATIONS
As
revenues from our operations in the PRC accounted for substantially all of our
net revenues for the nine months ended January 31, 2009 and 2008, 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 nine months ended January 31, 2009 and 2008 were $136,286 and
$730,725, 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
January 31, 2009 we held cash of $10,344 in banks in Canada.
As a
result of the currency translation adjustments, we reported unrealized gains on
foreign currency translation of $69,335 and $564,632 for the three and nine
months ended January 31, 2009, respectively compared to $958,207 and $1,677,527,
for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008, 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 March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities ” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 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 requirements of
SFAS 161 and the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial
statements.
In May
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff
Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1,
Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon
Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement. FSP APB 14-1 clarifies
that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either
mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not
addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and
Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, FSP APB 14-1
specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the
liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s
nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in
subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt FSP APB 14-1 beginning
in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, and this standard must be
applied on a retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of
FSP APB 14-1 will have on our consolidated financial position and results of
operations.
In May
2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“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
September 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, as well
as the impact of the 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 December 31, 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
Our
revenues have increased approximately 7.8% for the nine months ended January 31,
2009 from the comparable period in fiscal 2008; however, our revenues for the
third quarter of fiscal 2009 decreased approximately 24.1% as compared to the
three months ended January 31, 2008. The year to date increase reflects
increases in sales in our Natural Sweetener (Stevioside) segment. Our
acquisition of Qufu Shengwang which was concluded on September 2, 2008
contributed $296,159 of net revenues during the year. We 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. The decrease
during the fiscal 2009 quarter as compared to the first 2008 quarter reflects
both an approximate 45% decrease in sales of our Chinese and
Veterinary medicine segment together with a decrease of approximately 8% in
sales of our Natural Sweetener (Stevioside) segment. The decreases in
revenues are due to a decrease in sales orders as vendors reduced inventory
ahead of the Chinese New Year in February 2009 and as well a result of the
global economic slowdown
For the
three and nine months ended January 31, 2009, cost of revenues as a percentage
of net revenues were approximately 75.8% and 75.4%, respectively compared to
73.2% and 72.3%, respectively, for the comparable periods in fiscal
2008. The slight increase is primarily 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 7.3% year to date over the
comparable period in fiscal 2008; due to an increase in overall sales
levels.
For the
three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2009, total operating expenses
remained relatively constant compared to the three and nine months ended
January 31, 2008, respectively. Components of operating expenses did however
fluctuate. Selling expenses declined approximately 32% and approximately 45% for
the three and nine months ended January 31, 2009 compared to fiscal 2008 due
mainly to the reduction of marketing expenses. In Fiscal 2008 we completed our
marketing program within our Natural Sweetener (Stevioside) segment related to
the launch of our OnlySweet sweetener product in the U.S. This decrease in
costs was largely offset by an increase in management fees, included in our
general and administrative expenses, paid to Pharmaceutical Corporation, a
company controlled by our Chairman, of $347,274
and $144,337
for the nine months ended January 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We pay
Pharmaceutical Corporation management fees to Pharmaceutical Corporation 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. Pursuant to the
Wild Flavor agreement referenced in Note 13 above, beginning in February 2009
our President and Chairman, Mr. Laiwang Zhang has orally agreed to waive the
management fees related to Sunwin Stevia's operations for the balance
of the 2009 calendar year. Mr. Laiwang Zhang has also
orally agreed that beginning January 2010, the maximum consulting fee that will
be charged to the Company by Pharmaceutical Corporation will be approximately
$175,508 (RMB 1,200,000) per year..
Income
from operations for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2009 was $67,438
and $928,390, respectively. In comparison, income from operations for
the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008 was $619,893 and $1,074,563,
respectively. This represents a decrease annually of 13.6% which
is mainly due to reduced sales generated during the second and third quarters of
fiscal 2009.
The
following table provides information on net revenues, cost of sales, gross
profit, operating expenses, and operating income for each of our reporting
segments for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively, as well as information related to our corporate
operating expenses:

Natural
Sweetener (Stevioside)
For the
three and nine months ended January 31, 2009, net revenues from our Natural
Sweetener (Stevioside) segment represented approximately 68.3% and 62.3%,
respectively of our total net revenues as compared to approximately 56.6% and
56.5% for the same periods in the prior fiscal year. W e attribute
the year to date increase in the net revenues from this segment to increased
sales efforts in the PRC; sale of our OnlySweet line of products in North
America generated $299,235 in revenues for the nine months ended January 31,
2009, while our recent acquisition of Qufu Shengwang contributed
$296,159 of net revenues during the nine months ended January 31,
2009. 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. Our management believes that the outlook for our
Natural Sweetener segment is positive following the issuance by the U.S.
FDA of a no objection letter to two entities for the use of its particular
grade of Stevia as additives and / or sweetner, and in food and beverage
products in the U.S. In January 2009, the Company submitted its
application to the U.S. FDA for GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status. Our
management also anticipates that the partnership with Wild Flavors as described
above will result in increased sales in our Natural Sweetener segment pursuant
to our exclusive distribution agreement following our sale of a majority
interest of our Sunwin Stevia subsidiary in February 2009..
During
the three and nine months ended January 31, 2009, cost of sales as a percentage
of sales related to our Natural Sweetener (Stevioside) segment was approximately
77.8% and 78.6%, respectively, remaining relatively constant when compared to
the same periods of the prior fiscal year. We continue to witness
increased production of stevia leaves from local farmers 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.
For the
three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2009 operating expenses for our
Natural Sweetener (Stevioside) segment were $640,223 and $1,622,132,
respectively, compared to $460,329 and $1,600,490 for the three and nine months
ended January 31, 2008, respectively. Operating expenses for our Natural
Sweetener (Stevioside) segment increased approximately 39% and 1.4% for the
three and nine months ended January 31, 2009, respectively, from the comparable
periods in fiscal 2008. Total operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues
for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2009 were approximately 19% and
15%, respectively, compared to 12% and 17% for the three and nine months ended
January 31, 2008, respectively. Although our year to date operating expenses as
percentage of revenues decreased approximately 3%, our quarter ended January 31,
2009 increased 6% due to the marketing efforts in our OnlySweet line of products
in North America.
Chinese
and Veterinary Medicines
For the
three and nine months ended January 31, 2009, net revenues from our
Chinese and Veterinary medicine segment decreased approximately 44.6%
and approximately 6.6% over the same periods in fiscal 2008, respectively.
During the three and nine months period, revenues from this segment represented
approximately 31.7% and 37.7%, respectively of our total net revenues as
compared to approximately 43.4% and 43.5% for the same periods in the prior
fiscal year. This decrease in net revenues for the three and nine months
ended January 31, 2009 was mainly due to the global economic slowdown in sales
and productions and the Chinese new year in February that caused many customer
to significantly decrease their inventory, therefore, causing a decrease in
sales orders for the third quarter ended January 31, 2009. 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 nine months ended January 31, 2009, cost of sales within our Chinese
and veterinary medicine segment represented approximately 71.4% and 70.3%,
respectively of net revenues for this segment, as compared to 65.9% and 64.6%,
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 nine months ended January 31, 2009, operating expenses associated
with our Chinese and Veterinary totaled $345,694 and $1,361,798, respectively,
which represents a decrease of approximately 33% and increased approximately
3.6%, compared to the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008. The 33%
decrease between the quarters is due mainly to the 44.6% decrease in net
revenues as the company has less operating expenses for the Chinese and
Veterinary operations during the quarter. The slight year to date increase
was primarily due to a bad debt recovery in 2008 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, our year
to date operating expenses would have decreased by approximately 11% 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 three and nine months ended
January 31, 2009, these expenses decreased $9,075 and $127,988 from the
comparable periods 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
Our net
income for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2009 was $8,272 and
$723,737, respectively, which is a decrease of approximately 98.7% and
approximately 35.4% compared to the three and nine months ended from the
comparable periods in fiscal 2008. These decreases in our net income reflects
our decrease of 9% in net revenues in our natural sweetener segment and a
decrease of 45% in net revenues within our Chinese and Veterinary Medicine
segment during the quarter as discussed herein and an increase in general
administration expenses primarily due to the overall increase in operational
activities in our Stevioside segment.
For the
three and nine months ended January 31, 2009, our other comprehensive income
decreased $888,872 and $1,112,895 from the three and nine months
ended January 31, 2008, respectively. 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 period 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 January 31, 2009
decreased approximately $369,088 from April 30, 2008. While our allowance
for doubtful accounts increased $31,007 from April 30, 2008, we may, however,
collect all or a portion of these doubtful accounts. This decrease in our
accounts receivable at January 31, 2009 of approximately 9% was due
primarily to increased collection efforts in both operational
segments.
At
January 31, 2009, inventories, net of reserve for obsolete inventory, increased
$3,223,051 or approximately 68%, as compared to April 30, 2008. This increase
was due mainly to an increase in stevia leaves inventories in an effort to meet
the needs of our increased production capacity of stevioside. This increase
includes $739,286 of inventory held at our recent acquisition, Qufu
Shengwang.
Prepaid
expenses and other current assets increased $150,153 or approximately 57% at
January 31, 2009 as compared to April 30, 2008. This increase was mainly
attributable to an increase 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
January 31, 2009, we had property and equipment, net of accumulated
depreciation, of $16,894,517 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 2009.
At
January 31, 2009, we reflected $2,471,898 of accounts payable and accrued
expenses, a decrease of approximately $177,919 from April 30, 2008. This balance
includes trade accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2,361,879 and accrued
salaries and benefits of $110,019.
At
January 31, 2009, we held cash of $6,957,805 as compared to cash of $6,811,136
at April 30, 2008, an increase of $146,670. While we did borrow
$180,000 during the nine months ended January 31, 2009, the increase is
primarily a result of collection efforts on outstanding receivables and timing
differences in payments of liabilities and receipts of cash from
sales.
Net
cash used in operating activities
During
the nine months ended January 31, 2009, we used $337,448 in operating
activities , received $167,829 from investing activities, and
realized $180,000 from by financing activities. The effect of prevailing
exchange rate on cash was $136,288 as compared to $730,725 for the nine months
ended January 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Net cash
used in operating activities decreased to $337,448 during the nine months ended
January 31, 2009 as compared to cash used in operating activities of $2,540,684
for the prior period in fiscal 2008. For the nine months ended January 31,
2009, our material sources of cash included net income of $723,737, which
included non-cash depreciation of $1,197,515, stock-based compensation of
$350,047, and a $446,076 decrease in accounts receivables. These increases were
offset by $2,318,340 used to stockpile inventory during the stevia leaves
harvest season, a decrease in accounts payables and accrued expenses of
$412,526, and taxes payable of $233,234. Comparatively, net cash used in
operating activities for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 was $2,540,684.
For the nine months ended January 31, 2008, we used $3,075,086 to fund increases
in inventory, $929,531 to reduce accounts payable and accrued expenses and
$567,802 in increased levels of accounts receivable.
During
the nine months ended January 31, 2009, net cash provided by investing
activities totaled $167,829 which is comprised of $410,704 of cash acquired
during our acquisition of Qufu Shengwang, offset by capital expenditures of
$242,875 related to manufacturing equipment, as compared to $593,303 used in
investment during the nine months ended January 31, 2008 comprised of the
capital expenditures related to construction and completion of the new Stevia
facility.
Net cash
provided by financing activities totaled $180,000 during the nine months ended
January 31, 2009 and was attributable to two loans 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. This loan was
satisfied during the fourth quarter of 2009. In January 2009, the
Company borrowed $80,000 from unrelated third parties for working
capital. The short term loan bears no interest and the company satisfied
the loan on of March 5, 2009. Net cash provided by financing activities was
$1,154,773 for the nine months ended January 31, 2008, and was all attributable
to 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 nine months ended January 31, 2009 and 2008 this
management fee was $347,274 and $144,337, respectively, which such amounts are
included in our general and administrative expenses in the respective financial
statements appearing elsewhere in this report. Pursuant to the Wild Flavors
agreement referenced in Note 13 herein, beginning in February 2009 our President
and Chairman, Mr. Laiwang Zhang has orally agreed to waive the management fees
related to Sunwin Stevia's operations for the balance of the 2009 calendar
year. Mr. Laiwang Zhang has also orally agreed that beginning
January 2010, the maximum consulting fee that will be charged to the Company by
Pharmaceutical Corporation will be approximately $175,508 (RMB
1,200,000) per year.
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 cancelled 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.
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 January 31, 2009 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.
As of
January 31, 2009, we do not have any commitments for capital expenditures.
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.
OFF
BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Under SEC
regulations, we are required to disclose our off-balance sheet arrangements that
have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our
financial condition, such as changes in financial condition, revenues or
expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources that are material to investors. An off-balance sheet arrangement means
a transaction, agreement or contractual arrangement to which any entity that is
not consolidated with us is a party, under which we have:
·
|
Any
obligation under certain guarantee contracts;
|
|
·
|
unconsolidated
entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit,
|
|
·
|
liquidity
or market risk support to that entity for such assets;
|
|
·
|
Any
obligation under a contract that would be accounted for as a derivative
instrument, except that it is both indexed to our stock and classified
in stockholder's equity in our statement of financial
position;
and
|
|
·
|
Any
obligation arising out of a material variable interest held by us in
an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk
or credit risk support to us, or engages in leasing, hedging or
research
and development services with
us.
|
We do not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements that we are required to disclose
pursuant to these regulations. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into
operating lease commitments, purchase commitments and other contractual
obligations. These transactions are recognized in our financial statements in
accordance with U.S. GAAP.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not
applicable for a smaller reporting company.
As
required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of January
31, 2009, 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 January 31, 2009. Our management believes that significant
remediation measures are required in order to improve our disclosure
controls.
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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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.
None.
Not
