COMPANY
Sunwin
International Neutraceuticals, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries
are referred to in this report as the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or
“Sunwin”.
We sell
stevioside, a natural sweetener, as well as herbs used in traditional Chinese
medicines and veterinary products. Substantially all of our operations are
located in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). We have built an
integrated company with the sourcing and production capabilities designed to
meet the needs of our customers.
Our
operations are organized in two operating segments related to our product
lines:
-
|
Stevioside;
and
|
||
-
|
Chinese
and veterinary medicine.
|
Stevioside
Segment
Stevioside
and rebaudioside are all natural, low calorie sweeteners extracted from the
leaves of the stevia rebaudiana plant. Stevioside is a safe and natural
alternative to sugar for people needing low sugar or low calorie
diets. Qufu Shengwang and Qufu Shengren are two fiscal 2009
acquisitions now included in this segment.
Qufu
Shengwang
In fiscal
2009, Qufu Natural Green acquired a 60% interest in Qufu Shengwang from its
shareholder, Shandong Group, for $4,026,851. The purchase price represents
60% of the value of the net tangible assets of Qufu Shengwang as of April 30,
2008. Shandong Group is owned by Laiwang Zhang, our President and Chairman
of the board of directors. Qufu Shengwang manufactures and sells stevia food
additives, agricultural organic fertilizers and bio fertilizers.
Qufu
Shengren
In fiscal
2009, Qufu Natural Green acquired Qufu Shengren for $3,097,242. The
purchase price is equal to the value of the assets of Qufu Shengren as
determined by an independent asset appraisal in accordance with asset appraisal
principles in the PRC. Qufu Shengren is engaged in the production and
distribution of bulk drugs and pharmaceuticals.
Chinese
and Veterinary Medicine Segment
In our
Chinese and Veterinary Medicine Segment, we manufacture and sell a variety of
veterinary medicines, including seven series of more than 200 products, as well
as traditional Chinese medicine formula extracts which are used in products made
for use by both humans and animals.
Sunwin
USA, LLC
In fiscal
2009, we entered into a distributorship and operating agreement with Wild
Flavors for the worldwide distribution of our stevioside based sweetener
products and issued Wild Flavors a 45% interest in Sunwin USA, LLC. In exchange
Wild Flavors’ agreed to provide sales, marketing, logistics and supply chain
management, product development and regulatory services with a stated value of
$1,000,000 over a period of two years beginning on February 5, 2009, and
will act as the sole manager of Sunwin USA and will be responsible for all of
its business and affairs.
On May
11, 2009 we converted our former subsidiary Sunwin Stevia International, a
Florida Corporation, into Sunwin USA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company. We retain a 55% voting interest in the new company, yet the
aggregate impact of veto and approval rights of the minority voting interest has
overcome our ability to consolidate this entity. Therefore, we
account for our investment in Sunwin USA, LLC as an equity method
investment.

BASIS OF
PRESENTATION
We are on
a fiscal year ending April 30, as such the year ended April 30, 2009 is
referred to as “fiscal 2009” and the coming year ending April 30, 2010 is
referred to as “fiscal 2010”. Also, the three month period ending
January 31, is our third quarter and the three month period ending January 31,
2010 is referred to as the “third quarter of fiscal 2010”. Likewise, the three
month period ending January 31, 2009 is referred to as the “third quarter of
fiscal 2009”. Also, the nine month period ending January 31, 2010 is
referred to as the “first nine months of fiscal 2010” and the nine month period
ending January 31, 2009 is referred to as the “first nine months of fiscal
2010.”
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
unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. These unaudited consolidated interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
for the year ended April 30, 2009 and notes thereto contained on Form 10-K of
the Company as filed with the SEC. The result of operations and cash flows for
the nine months ended January 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations or cash flows which may be reported for future periods or
the full fiscal year.
Certain
financial statement amounts relating to prior periods have been reclassified to
conform to the current period presentation.
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 revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods presented.
Significant
estimates for the periods reported include the allowance for doubtful accounts
which is based on an evaluation of our outstanding accounts receivable including
the age of amounts due, the financial condition of our specific customers,
knowledge of our industry segment in Asia, and historical bad debt
experience. This evaluation methodology has proven to provide a
reasonable estimate of bad debt expense in the past and we intend to continue to
employ this approach in our analysis of collectability. However, we
are aware that given the current global economic situation, including that of
China, meaningful time horizons may change. We intend to enhance our
focus on the evaluation of our customers' sustainability and adjust our
estimates as may be indicated.
We rely
on assumptions such as volatility, forfeiture rate, and expected dividend yield
when calculating the fair value of our derivative liability related to common
stock purchase warrants. We also rely on assumptions and estimates to calculate
reserve for obsolete inventory and the depreciation of property, plant and
equipment. We make assumptions of expiration duration on our products held as
inventory based on historical experience and if applicable, regulatory
recommendation. We also group property plant and equipment into similar groups
of assets and estimate the useful life of each group of assets; see Note 3 –
Property and Equipment for further information on asset groups and estimated
useful lives.
Further,
we rely on certain assumptions and calculations underlying our provision for
taxes in China. Assumptions and estimates employed in these areas are
material to our reported financial conditions and results of
operations. These assumptions and estimates have been materially
accurate in the past and are not expected to materially change in the
future. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
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, 2010 and April 30, 2009, the allowances for
doubtful accounts were $828,282 and $817,923, respectively.
INVENTORIES
Inventories,
consisting of raw materials, work in process, 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.
DERIVATIVE
LIABILITY
We issued
a total of 10,793,750 common stock purchase warrants exercisable at $0.65 per
share in connection with our 2007 Unit Offering which expire March 26, 2012;
8,410,280 and 6,331,080 of these warrants remain issued and outstanding as of
May 1, 2009 and January 31, 2010, respectively. On February 20, 2009, our
Board of Directors approved the permanent reduction in the exercise price of
these warrants to $0.15 per share. The last sale price of our 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. The exercise price of the
warrants is subject to reset adjustment in the event of price
reduction. If we issue or sell shares of our common stock after the
2007 Unit Offering for an amount less than the original exercise price per
share, the exercise price of the warrants is reduced to equal the new issuance
price of those shares.
Upon our
adoption of the Derivative and Hedging Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC 815”) retroactively effective on May 1, 2009, we
determined that the warrants did not qualify for a scope exception under FASB
ASC Section 815-10-15 as they were determined to not be indexed to our
stock. This change in accounting policy became retroactively
effective May 1, 2009 and the warrants were reclassified from equity to a
derivative liability for the then fair market value of $1,366,890 and marked to
market based upon valuation using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model. The value of the warrants decreased by $376,500 from March 23,
2007, the warrants issuance date, to the adoption date of ASC 815, May 1,
2009. As of May 1, 2009, the cumulative effect in adopting ASC 815
was a reduction to additional paid in capital of $1,743,390 to reclassify the
warrants from equity to derivative liability and a increase in retained earnings
of $376,500 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle to
reflect the change in the value of the warrants between their issuance date and
May 1, 2009. For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2010, we
recorded a loss on change in fair value of derivative liability of $124,992 and
$58,758, respectively to mark to market for the increase in fair value of the
warrants during the three and nine month periods ended January 31,
2010. Under ASC 815, the warrants will be carried at fair value and
adjusted at each reporting period.
The
Company determined the fair value of the warrants at each reporting date using
the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions and
key inputs for each series of warrants and reporting date:

FAIR
VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The
Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and
has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification
(“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial
instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a common definition for fair
value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that
require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.
The adoption of Paragraph 820-10-35-37 did not have an impact on the Company’s
financial position or operating results, but did expand certain
disclosures.

(UNAUDITED)
Paragraph
820-10-35-37 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. Additionally, Paragraph 820-10-35-37
requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized
below:
Level 1:
|
Observable
inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities
|
Level 2:
|
Observable
market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market
data
|
Level 3:
|
Unobservable
inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use
of the reporting entity’s own
assumptions.
|
The
carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as
cash, accounts receivable, prepayments and other current assets, accounts
payable, taxes payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities,
approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these
instruments. The Company’s loan payable approximates the fair value
of such instrument based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that
would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangement at January
31, 2010 and 2009.
The
Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring or a non-recurring basis, consequently, the Company did not have any
fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at
January 31, 2010 or 2009, nor gains or losses are reported in the statement of
operations that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses
relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date for
the interim period then ended.
INCOME
TAXES
The
Company files federal and state income tax returns in the United States for its
corporate operations, and files separate foreign tax returns for our Chinese
subsidiaries. We account for income taxes under the provisions of Section
740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, 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.
BASIC AND
DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE
Pursuant
to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, basic income
(loss) per common share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects
the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in
the issuance of common stock that would then share in the income of the
company, subject to anti-dilution limitations.

At
January 31, 2010 outstanding purchase warrants which could have resulted in the
issuance of 6,331,080 additional common shares were anti-dilutive as we reported
a net loss applicable to our common shareholders; additionally, outstanding
purchase warrants which could have resulted in the issuance of 26,666,666
additional common shares were also anti-dilutive as the exercise price of the
warrants exceeded the average market price. Both these tranches of
warrants were not included in diluted earnings per calculations for the third
quarter or first nine months of fiscal 2010.
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 paragraph 360-10-35-17 of the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification, 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 $5,262,044 and $5,726,352 at January 31, 2010 and April 30,
2009, respectively. Also depreciation expense totaled $1,422,877 and
$1,197,515 for the first nine months of fiscal 2010, and 2009,
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 Section 830-20-35 of the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification 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 were an unrealized loss
of $10,008 for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 and unrealized gain of
$564,632 for the first months of fiscal 2009.
COMPREHENSIVE
INCOME
Comprehensive
income is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income or loss. Other
comprehensive income or loss refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that
are included in comprehensive income but excluded from net income as these
amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders’
equity.
Our
comprehensive income consists of currency translation adjustments. The following
table sets forth the computation of comprehensive income for the third quarter
and first nine months of fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively:

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, 2010, we had $11,320,502 on deposit in China, which is not
insured. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts through January 31,
2010.

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 as compensation expense
in the statement of operations based upon the grant-date fair value of stock
options and other equity based compensation issued to employees with such
expense recognized in our statements of operations over the service periods of
each award.
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.
SHIPPING
COSTS
Shipping
costs are included in selling expenses and totaled approximately $189,404 and
$354,431 for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009,
respectively.
RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
EITF
Issue No. 07-5 (ASC 815), "Determining Whether an Instrument (or embedded
Feature) is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock" (EITF 07-5) was issued in June
2008 to clarify how to determine whether certain instruments or features were
indexed to an entity's own stock under EITF Issue No. 01-6 (ASC 815), "The
Meaning of "Indexed to a Company's Own Stock" (EITF 01-6) (ASC 815),. EITF
07-5(ASC 815), applies to any freestanding financial instrument (or embedded
feature) that has all of the characteristics of a derivative as defined in FAS
133, for purposes of determining whether that instrument (or embedded feature)
qualifies for the first part of the paragraph 11(a) scope exception. It is also
applicable to any freestanding financial instrument (e.g., gross physically
settled warrants) that is potentially settled in an entity's own stock,
regardless of whether it has all of the characteristics of a derivative as
defined in FAS 133 (ASC 815), for purposes of determining whether to apply EITF
00-19 (ASC 815). EITF 07-5(ASC 815) does not apply to share-based payment awards
within the scope of FAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123(R) (ASC 718)).
However, an equity-linked financial instrument issued to investors to establish
a market-based measure of the fair value of employee stock options is not within
the scope of FAS 123(R) and therefore is subject to EITF 07-5(ASC
815). Upon our adoption of ASC 815 retroactively effective on
May 1, 2009, we determined that the warrants associated with a capital
raise in March 2007 did not qualify for a scope exception under FASB ASC Section
815-10-15 as they were determined to not be indexed to our
stock. This change in accounting policy became retroactively
effective May 1, 2009 and the warrants were reclassified from equity to a
derivative liability.
In
January 2009, the FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-1 (ASC 325), to amend the
impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20 (ASC 325) in order to achieve
more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment
(“OTTI”) has occurred. This FSP amended EITF 99-20 (ASC 325) to more
closely align the OTTI guidance therein to the guidance in Statement
No. 115 (ASC 320, 10-35-31). Retrospective application to a prior interim
or annual period is prohibited. The guidance in this FSP was considered in the
assessment of OTTI for various securities at December 31,
2008.
In
June 2009, the FASB approved the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification”
(the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S.
GAAP to be launched on July 1, 2009. The Codification does not
change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all
authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to
a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard
documents will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in
the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification was
effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15,
2009.
In
August 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-04 “Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments - Amendment to Section
480-10-S99” which represents an update to section 480-10-S99, distinguishing
liabilities from equity, per EITF Topic D-98, Classification and
Measurement of Redeemable Securities . The Company has adopted this
update and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

more of the following techniques: 1. A valuation technique that uses: a. The
quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset b. Quoted prices
for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets. 2. Another
valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of topic 820; two
examples would be an income approach, such as a present value technique, or a
market approach, such as a technique that is based on the amount at the
measurement date that the reporting entity would pay to transfer the identical
liability or would receive to enter into the identical liability. The amendments
in this update also clarify that when estimating the fair value of a liability,
a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to
other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the
transfer of the liability. The amendments in this update also clarify that both
a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability when traded as an
asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset
are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The Company has
adopted this update and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-08 “Earnings Per Share – Amendments to Section 260-10-S99”, which
represents technical corrections to topic 260-10-S99, Earnings per share, based
on EITF Topic D-53, Computation of Earnings Per Share for a Period
that includes a Redemption or an Induced Conversion of a Portion of a Class of
Preferred Stock and EITF Topic D-42, The Effect of the
Calculation of Earnings per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion of
Preferred Stock . The Company has adopted this update and it did not have a
material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or

In
September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-09 “Accounting for Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures and
Accounting for Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. This update
represents a correction to Section 323-10-S99-4, Accounting by an
Investor for Stock-Based Compensation Granted to Employees of an Equity Method
Investee . Additionally, it adds observer comment Accounting
Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to
Other Than Employees to the Codification. The Company has adopted
this update and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-12 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic 820 – Investment in
Certain Entities That Calculate Net Assets Value Per Share (or Its Equivalent)”,
which provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures-Overall, for the fair value measurement of investments in certain
entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). The
amendments in this update permit, as a practical expedient, a reporting entity
to measure the fair value of an investment that is within the scope of the
amendments in this update on the basis of the net asset value per share of the
investment (or its equivalent) if the net asset value of the investment (or its
equivalent) is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles
of Topic 946 as of the reporting entity’s measurement date, including
measurement of all or substantially all of the underlying investments of the
investee in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments in this update also
require disclosures by major category of investment about the attributes of
investments within the scope of the amendments in this update, such as the
nature of any restrictions on the investor’s ability to redeem its investments
at the measurement date, any unfunded commitments (for example, a contractual
commitment by the investor to invest a specified amount of additional capital at
a future date to fund investments that will be make by the investee), and the
investment strategies of the investees. The major category of investment is
required to be determined on the basis of the nature and risks of the investment
in a manner consistent with the guidance for major security types in U.S. GAAP
on investments in debt and equity securities in paragraph 320-10-50-1B. The
disclosures are required for all investments within the scope of the amendments
in this update regardless of whether the fair value of the investment is
measured using the practical expedient. The Company has adopted this update and
it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
Management
does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective
accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

On
September 24, 2007, our subsidiary, Sunwin Canada, borrowed $430,000 from Mr. Ma
Qiang, a party associated with our Chairman. The loan bears no interest, is
unsecured and is due on demand. On September 5, 2008, three employees, including
Ms. Wu our Chief Financial Officer, who collectively owed us $372,900 related to
the exercise price of options granted and exercised in fiscal 2006 agreed to
satisfy their obligation to us by assuming $372,900 of the $430,000 we owed to
Mr. Qiang. As a result of this transaction, monies due us in the amount of
$372,900 were satisfied and the remaining balance due to Mr. Qiang was $57,100
at April 30, 2009. This amount was repaid to Mr. Qiang during the
second quarter of fiscal 2010 leaving $0 outstanding at January 31,
2010.
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, was in violation of Section 402 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act
of 2002. At January 31, 2010 and April 30, 2009 this extension of
credit had a $0 balance and was satisfied as described above.
The
Company has paid management fees Pharmaceutical Corporation, in which Mr.
Laiwang Zhang, our president and chairman holds a majority interest. The
management fees, which have been included in general and administrative
expenses, totaled $0 and $347,274 for the nine months ended January 31, 2010 and
2009, respectively. At January 31, 2010, the Company owed Pharmaceutical
Corporation $1,477 for management fees. Pharmaceutical Corporation has agreed to
waive fees it charges us to provide consulting services to certain of its
subsidiaries, including maintaining infrastructure and covering utility expenses
of those entities for the calendar year 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 (RMB 1, 200,000) per year. We are currently in
discussions with Mr. Zhang regarding an additional waiver of this fee for the
remainder of fiscal 2010 which we expect to obtain. [

7 – EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT
Sunwin
USA, LLC
In fiscal
2009, we entered into a distributorship and operating agreement with Wild
Flavors, Inc. ("Wild Flavors") for the worldwide distribution of our
stevioside based sweetener products and issued Wild Flavors a 45% interest
in Sunwin USA, LLC (“Sunwin USA”). In exchange, Wild Flavors’ agreed to provide
sales, marketing, logistics and supply chain management, product development and
regulatory services with a stated value of $1,000,000 over a period of two years
beginning on February 5, 2009, and will act as the sole manager of Sunwin USA
and will be responsible for all of its business and
affairs. .
On May
11, 2009 we converted our former subsidiary Sunwin Stevia International, a
Florida Corporation, into Sunwin USA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
and contributed $423,493 of net assets into the newly formed
entity. We retain a 55% ownership interest in the new company, but
the assumption to consolidate this entity based on our greater than 50%
ownership interest is overcome due to the aggregate impact of veto and approval
rights of the minority voting interest.
Under the
terms of the operating agreement Wild Flavors manages all business and affairs
of Sunwin USA, and has the right to appoint all of its
officers. Furthermore, the operating agreement prohibits us from
terminating, limiting or restricting Wild Flavor’s authority, altering or
rescinding the operating agreement, or binding Sunwin
USA. Accordingly, by virtue of these contractual rights, Wild Flavors
has operating control over Sunwin USA. Wild Flavor’s rights and the
limitation on our rights provide for Wild Flavors to effectively participate in
all significant decisions that would be expected to be made in the ordinary
course of business. In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification
810-10-25-5 and after assessment of these rights individually and in aggregate,
we note that the presence of such rights in favor of Wild Flavors and the
absence of our rights overcome our presumption of consolidation. Based on these
factors we began to account for Sunwin USA as an equity method investment
beginning in our first quarter ended July 31, 2009.
The
balance of such investment is made up of the following:

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information
contained in our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto appearing elsewhere herein and in conjunction with the Management’s
Discussion and Analysis set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended April 30, 2009.
We are on
a fiscal year ending April 30, as such the year ended April 30, 2009 is
referred to as “fiscal 2009” and the coming year ending April 30, 2010 is
referred to as “fiscal 2010”. Also, the three month period ending
January 31, is our third quarter and the three month period ending January 31,
2009 is referred to as the “third quarter of fiscal 2010”. Likewise,
the three month period ending January 31, 2008 is referred to as the “third
quarter of fiscal 2009”. Also, the nine month period ending January
31, 2009 is referred to as the “first nine months of fiscal 2010” and the nine
month period ending October 31, 2008 is referred to as the “first nine months of
fiscal 2009.”
Overview
We sell stevioside, a natural
sweetener, and we manufacture and sell a variety of veterinary medicines,
including seven series of more than 200 products, as well as traditional Chinese
medicine formula extracts which are used in products made for use by both humans
and animals. Substantially all of our operations are located in the
PRC. We have built an integrated company with the sourcing and
production capabilities designed to meet the needs of our customers
Our
operations are organized in two operating segments related to our product
lines:
-
|
Stevioside;
and
|
|
-
|
Chinese
and veterinary medicine.
|
Stevioside
and rebaudioside are all natural low calorie sweeteners extracted from the
leaves of the stevia rebaudiana plant. Stevioside is a safe and natural
alternative to sugar for people needing low sugar or low calorie diets.
Stevioside can be used to replace sugar in beverages and foods, including those
that require baking or cooking where man made chemical based sweetener
replacements are not suitable.
OnlySweet
is an all natural, zero calorie, dietary supplement comprised of three natural
ingredients, including stevioside. OnlySweet is carried in approximately 3,500
stores in the U.S. and is generally displayed in the sweetener aisle with
alternative sweeteners. Through our equity method investment in Sunwin USA and
relationship with Wild Flavors we support the marketing of OnlySweet as a zero
calorie sweetener alternative; as well as a “green” alternative. Natural
products are one of the fastest growing segments in the grocery
industry.
On May
11, 2009 we converted our former consolidated subsidiary Sunwin Stevia
International into Sunwin USA and contributed $423,493 of net assets
into the newly formed entity. We retain a 55% ownership interest in
the new company, but due to the aggregate impact of veto and approval rights of
the minority voting interest we will not consolidate this entity; as such,
beginning with the first quarter of 2010 we do not include the revenues and
expenses of this entity in our unaudited consolidated financial statements,
instead we account for our 55% interest in net income of the entity as part of
other income. As our historic revenues from the sales of OnlySweet
represented approximately 3% of our revenues for fiscal 2009 we do not
anticipate that our inability to consolidate this entity will adversely impact
our revenues in future periods.
In our
Chinese and veterinary medicine segment, we manufacture and sell a variety of
veterinary medicines, including seven series of more than 200 products, as well
as traditional Chinese medicine formula extracts which are used in products made
for use by both humans and animals.
We
manufacture and sell all natural polysaccharid and flavonoid extraction compound
feed additives. We believe these compounds have little or no side effects and
can be substituted for antibiotics and chemical compounds often found in animal
feeds. We also sell our brand of CIO 2 food disinfectant. CIO 2, a chemical
employed in both industrial and commercial applications, was developed
successfully in 1985.
We
manufacture and sell approximately 120 different extracts of the estimated 400
traditional Chinese medicine extracts, which can be divided into the following
three general categories:
-
|
single
traditional Chinese medicine extracts;
|
|
-
|
compound
traditional Chinese medicine extracts; and
|
|
-
|
purified
extracts, including active parts and monomer compounds such as soy
isoflavone.

Our
Performance
In the
third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2010 our total revenues, including
related party revenues, declined by approximately 22% and 38% as compared to the
same periods of fiscal 2009. During the third quarter of fiscal 2010, revenues
from our stevioside segment decreased approximately 15% as compared to the third
quarter of fiscal 2009 and revenues from our Chinese and veterinary medicines
segment decreased approximately 37% as compared to the third quarter of fiscal
2009. Similarly, during the first nine months of fiscal 2010,
revenues from our stevioside segment decreased approximately 25% as compared to
the same period in fiscal 2009 and revenues from our Chinese and veterinary
medicines segment decreased approximately 59% as compared to the same period of
fiscal 2009. These decreases were primarily due to a continuation of
decreased customer demand and decreased production levels due to severe flooding
in July, 2009 and regulatory limitations on livestock breeding in
response to the H1N1 pandemic within China. Also, delayed recovery from the
recent global economic crisis caused lower export sales levels as compared to
the same periods in fiscal 2009.
Our total
operating expenses increased 89% and 19% in the third quarter and first nine
months of fiscal 2010, respectively, from the comparable periods in fiscal
2009. We reported a net loss of approximately $2.9 million and $3.4
million for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2010,
respectively, compared to net income of approximately $28,000 and $747,000 for
the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2009. Further, we
reported a net loss attributable to our company of approximately $2.9 million
and $3.4 million for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2010,
respectively, as compared to net income attributable to our company of
approximately $8,000 and $723,000, respectively, for the third quarter and first
nine months of fiscal 2009. These declines in net income are
primarily a result of the significant decrease in our revenues in fiscal 2010,
approximately $566,000 in impairment to inventory and approximately $1.1 million
on loss of disposition of an 36,000 square foot stevioside production facility
due to a Chinese government required closure of this facility located in
Qufu.
Our
Outlook
While the
current quarter has presented us with significant challenges , we believe that
there is an opportunity for growth in our stevioside segment based on the
following key factors
-
|
In
February 2009, we established a strategic alliance with Wild Flavors
to develop, market and sell stevioside based sweeteners for the
food and beverage industry;
|
|
-
|
We
believe the synergies between us and Wild Flavors will create
opportunities to establish new sweetener products and establish additional
revenue streams;
|
|
-
|
On
September 15, 2009, we completed the process for U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (“FDA”) self-affirmed Generally Recognized as Safe (“GRAS”)
status for our high grade stevioside extracts. Self-affirmed
GRAS status is an authorized FDA designation that allows us to perform the
necessary research on our products to determine whether there is
reasonable certainty in the minds of competent scientists that our
products are not harmful under the intended conditions of use;
and
|
|
-
|
During
the third quarter of fiscal 2010 we acquired the exclusive rights to
certain stevioside extraction technology for $157,000 and entered into an
agreement to develop stevioside extraction technology and product
development and technical support for
$333,000..
|
Further,
we have begun to see an overall upward trend in sales including a 3% increase in
revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the second quarter of
fiscal 2010, and a 10% increase in revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2010
compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010 representing two consecutive
quarters of quarter-over-quarter growth. The current quarter increase
is made up of a 1% increase in revenues from our stevioside segment and 14%
increase in revenues from our Chinese and veterinary medicines
segment.
Foreign
Exchange Considerations
Revenues
from our operations in the PRC accounted for substantially all of our revenues
for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 and the third quarter of fiscal 2009. We
report 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 Section 830-20-35 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification,
and are included in determining net income or loss. For foreign operations with
the local currency as the functional currency, assets and liabilities are
translated from the local currencies into U.S. dollars at the prevailing
exchange rate on the respective balance sheet date.
- 20
-
The
functional currency of our Chinese subsidiaries is the local currency, the
Renminbi (the “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 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 effect of exchange rate changes on cash for
the first nine months of fiscal 2010 and the first nine months of fiscal 2009
were a net decrease of $1,596 and net increase $136,288,
respectively. If any increase in the value of the RMB were to
occur in the future, our product sales in the PRC and in other countries may be
negatively affected.
At
January 31, 2010 we held cash of $1,483 in banks in Canada. The functional
currency of our Canadian subsidiary is the Canadian dollar. We periodically
evaluate the credit quality of the financial institutions in which we hold
deposits.
As a
result of the currency translation adjustments, we reported unrealized gain on
foreign currency translation of $6,865 and unrealized gain of $67,012 for the
third quarter of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, respectively. Also, we reported an
unrealized loss of $10,008 and an unrealized gain of $564,632 for the first nine
months of fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively. These non-cash item,
which is before amounts attributable to noncontrolling interest, had the effect
of decreasing our comprehensive loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 and
increasing our comprehensive loss the first nine months of fiscal
2010.
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.
A summary
of significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this report. Management believes
that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables us to
provide useful and reliable financial information about our operating results
and financial condition.
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 revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods presented.
Significant
estimates for the periods reported include the allowance for doubtful accounts
which is based on an evaluation of our outstanding accounts receivable including
the age of amounts due, the financial condition of our specific customers,
knowledge of our industry segment in Asia, and historical bad debt
experience. This evaluation methodology has proven to provide a
reasonable estimate of bad debt expense in the past and we intend to continue to
employ this approach in our analysis of collectability. However, we
are aware that given the current global economic crises, including that of the
PRC, meaningful time horizons may change. We intend to enhance our
focus on the evaluation of our customers' sustainability and adjust our
estimates as may be indicted.
We rely
on assumptions such as volatility, forfeiture rate, and expected dividend yield
when calculating the fair value of our derivative liability related to common
stock purchase warrants. We also rely on assumptions and estimates to calculate
reserve for obsolete inventory and the depreciation of property, plant and
equipment. We make assumptions of expiration of our products held as inventory
based on historical experience and if applicable, regulatory recommendation. We
also group property plant and equipment into similar groups of assets and
estimate the useful life of each group of assets; see Note 3 – Property and
Equipment of the Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere herein
for further information on asset groups and estimated useful lives.
Further,
we rely on certain assumptions and calculations underlying our provision for
taxes in the PRC. Assumptions and estimates employed in these areas
are material to our reported financial conditions and results of
operations. These assumptions and estimates have been materially
accurate in the past and are not expected to materially change in the
future. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
- 21
-
We record
property and equipment at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided 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. Recoverability of long-lived assets is
measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows
that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. 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.
We
account for stock options issued to employees as compensation expense in the
statement of operations. We calculate the total cost based on the
grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation
issued to employees and recognize the expense over the required service
period.
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
EITF
Issue No. 07-5 (ASC 815), "Determining Whether an Instrument (or embedded
Feature) is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock" (EITF 07-5) was issued in June
2008 to clarify how to determine whether certain instruments or features were
indexed to an entity's own stock under EITF Issue No. 01-6 (ASC 815), "The
Meaning of "Indexed to a Company's Own Stock" (EITF 01-6) (ASC 815),. EITF
07-5(ASC 815), applies to any freestanding financial instrument (or embedded
feature) that has all of the characteristics of a derivative as defined in FAS
133, for purposes of determining whether that instrument (or embedded feature)
qualifies for the first part of the paragraph 11(a) scope exception. It is also
applicable to any freestanding financial instrument (e.g., gross physically
settled warrants) that is potentially settled in an entity's own stock,
regardless of whether it has all of the characteristics of a derivative as
defined in FAS 133 (ASC 815), for purposes of determining whether to apply EITF
00-19 (ASC 815). EITF 07-5(ASC 815) does not apply to share-based payment awards
within the scope of FAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123(R) (ASC 718)).
However, an equity-linked financial instrument issued to investors to establish
a market-based measure of the fair value of employee stock options is not within
the scope of FAS 123(R) and therefore is subject to EITF 07-5(ASC
815). Upon our adoption of ASC 815 retroactively effective on
May 1, 2009, we determined that the warrants associated with a capital
raise in March 2007 did not qualify for a scope exception under FASB ASC Section
815-10-15 as they were determined to not be indexed to our
stock. This change in accounting policy became retroactively
effective May 1, 2009 and the warrants were reclassified from equity to a
derivative liability.
In
January 2009, the FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-1 (ASC 325), to amend the
impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20 (ASC 325) in order to achieve
more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment
(“OTTI”) has occurred. This FSP amended EITF 99-20 (ASC 325) to more
closely align the OTTI guidance therein to the guidance in Statement
No. 115 (ASC 320, 10-35-31). Retrospective application to a prior interim
or annual period is prohibited. The guidance in this FSP was considered in the
assessment of OTTI for various securities at December 31,
2008.
In
June 2009, the FASB approved the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification”
(the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S.
GAAP to be launched on July 1, 2009. The Codification does not
change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all
authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to
a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard
documents will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in
the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification is
effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15,
2009.
In
August 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-04 “Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments - Amendment to Section
480-10-S99” which represents an update to section 480-10-S99, distinguishing
liabilities from equity, per EITF Topic D-98, Classification and
Measurement of Redeemable Securities. The Company has adopted this
update and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows..
- 22
-
In
August 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-05 “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures Topic 820 – Measuring
Liabilities at Fair Value” , which provides amendments to subtopic 820-10, Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value measurement of
liabilities. This update provides clarification that in circumstances
in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not
available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or
more of the following techniques: 1. A valuation technique that uses: a. The
quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset b. Quoted prices
for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets. 2. Another
valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of topic 820; two
examples would be an income approach, such as a present value technique, or a
market approach, such as a technique that is based on the amount at the
measurement date that the reporting entity would pay to transfer the identical
liability or would receive to enter into the identical liability. The amendments
in this update also clarify that when estimating the fair value of a liability,
a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to
other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the
transfer of the liability. The amendments in this update also clarify that both
a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability when traded as an
asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset
are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The Company has
adopted this update and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-08 “Earnings Per Share – Amendments to Section 260-10-S99?? which
represents technical corrections to topic 260-10-S99, Earnings per share, based
on EITF Topic D-53, Computation of Earnings Per Share for a Period
that includes a Redemption or an Induced Conversion of a Portion of a Class of
Preferred Stock and EITF Topic D-42, The Effect of the
Calculation of Earnings per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion of
Preferred Stock. The Company has adopted this update and it did not have a
material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
In
September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-09 “Accounting for Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures and
Accounting for Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees” . This update
represents a correction to Section 323-10-S99-4, Accounting by an
Investor for Stock-Based Compensation Granted to Employees of an Equity Method
Investee . Additionally, it adds observer comment Accounting
Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to
Other Than Employees to the Codification. The Company has adopted
this update and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-12 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic 820 – Investment in
Certain Entities That Calculate Net Assets Value Per Share (or Its Equivalent)”
, which provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures-Overall, for the fair value measurement of investments in certain
entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). The
amendments in this update permit, as a practical expedient, a reporting entity
to measure the fair value of an investment that is within the scope of the
amendments in this update on the basis of the net asset value per share of the
investment (or its equivalent) if the net asset value of the investment (or its
equivalent) is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles
of Topic 946 as of the reporting entity’s measurement date, including
measurement of all or substantially all of the underlying investments of the
investee in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments in this update also
require disclosures by major category of investment about the attributes of
investments within the scope of the amendments in this update, such as the
nature of any restrictions on the investor’s ability to redeem its investments
at the measurement date, any unfunded commitments (for example, a contractual
commitment by the investor to invest a specified amount of additional capital at
a future date to fund investments that will be make by the investee), and the
investment strategies of the investees. The major category of investment is
required to be determined on the basis of the nature and risks of the investment
in a manner consistent with the guidance for major security types in U.S. GAAP
on investments in debt and equity securities in paragraph 320-10-50-1B. The
disclosures are required for all investments within the scope of the amendments
in this update regardless of whether the fair value of the investment is
measured using the practical expedient. The Company has adopted this update and
it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
Management
does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective
accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Overall
In the
third quarter of fiscal 2010, our total revenues decreased approximately 22%
from the third quarter of fiscal 2009. This decrease is a result of
a $595,505 decrease in sales in our Chinese and veterinary medicine segment
or approximately 37% and a $518,617 decrease in sales in our stevioside segment
or approximately 15%.
During
the first nine months of fiscal 2010, our total revenues decreased approximately
38% from the first nine months of fiscal 2009. This decrease is a result of
a $3,945,517 decrease in sales in our Chinese and veterinary medicine
segment or approximately 59% and a $2,801,293 decrease in sales in our
stevioside segment or approximately 25%.
- 23
-
The
decreases in demand for our products is primarily due to (i) reduced customer
demand over all product categories due to slow recovery in response to the
global economic downturn for the products we export , and (ii) customer demand
has continued at a reduced level as a result of restrictions imposed by the PRC
on the use of antibiotics and breeding of livestock impacted by the H1N1 flu
virus, demand has been decreasing in this segment compared to prior year for the
last four quarters.
Our gross
profit in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 decreased approximately 51%, as
compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2009. In the third quarter of
fiscal 2010, cost of sales as a percentage of revenues increased approximately
9%. This increase is attributable to higher costs of production associated with
production of smaller quantities as a result of the decreased sales in both
segments. Also, during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 we incurred
additional costs associated with the State Food and Drug Administration of China
requirements which required us to repackage and provide additional labeling for
certain stevia products. Additionally, through our acquisitions of Qufu Shengren
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 we began production of higher grades of
stevia; this transition has resulted in higher costs associated with converting
Qufu Shengren’s production facility resulting in lower margins in the
short-term. We expect our production costs to decrease as a percentage of
revenues at such time as higher demand for higher grades of stevia increases.
In the
third quarter of fiscal 2010, total operating expenses increased approximately
89% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Total operating expenses
increased primarily as a result of an approximately $566,000 inventory
impairment where the book value of the inventory was determined to be higher
than the market value and a $751,000 increase in general and administrative
expenses. These increases were partially offset by an approximate
$191,000 decrease in selling expense as a result of lower sales and a $103,000
decrease in stock-based consulting expense. General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 34% during the
third quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared to 11% during the third quarter of
fiscal 2009. This increase was primarily due to an approximate
$150,000 increase in salaries and $200,000 increase in calendar year-end
bonuses. and approximate $581,000 increase in research and
development expenses. Selling expenses as a percentage of revenues
decreased to 7% during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared to 10%
during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 with the largest overall decrease of
approximately $79,000 in lower commissions and $47,000 in lower shipping and
freight expenses due to lower revenues.
During
the first nine months of fiscal 2010, total operating expenses increased
approximately18 percentage points compared to the same period in fiscal 2009
which is primarily attributable to the inventory impairment and increased
general and administrative expenses. These increases were partially offset by an
approximate $544,000 decrease in selling expense or 39% as a result of lower
sales. General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to
$212,000 increase in salaries and $200,000 increase in calendar year-end
bonuses. $635,000 increase in research and development expenses, and $109,000
increase in depreciation due to our fiscal 2009 acquisitions. These
increases were partially offset by a $347,000 decrease in management fee
expense. We are currently renegotiating this fee with Mr. Zhang and expect
further waiver of this fee for January 2010. Selling expenses as a
percentage of revenues remained relatively consistent at 8% during the first
nine months of fiscal 2010 and 2009 and general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales increased to 22% during the first nine months of fiscal 2010
from 10% during the comparable period of the fiscal 2009.

Stevioside
Segment
In the
third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2010, revenues from our export
sales in our stevioside segment decreased approximately 15% and 25%,
respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2009. In the third
quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2010, revenues from this segment
represented approximately 74% and 75%, respectively, of our total revenues as
compared to approximately 68% and 62%, respectively, in the same periods of
fiscal 2009; our stevioside segment's larger share of our total sales is
due to our continued focus of sales efforts in our stevioside
segment. The decrease in revenues in this segment overall is
primarily attributable to a reduction in customer demand as result of a slow
recovery from the overall world economic crisis. Customer demand has also
decreased in South Korea as a result of an approximately 15% devaluation of
South Korean Won compared to the RMB during the same period in the prior
year. We can attribute approximately $194,000 or 7% of
stevioside segment revenues during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 and $570,000
or 7% of stevioside segment revenues during the first nine months of fiscal 2010
to sales from our acquisitions of Qufu Shengren during the last quarter of
fiscal 2009 which did not contribute to revenues in the second quarter or first
six months of fiscal 2009.
- 25
-
Our gross
profit in this segment in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2010
decreased approximately 53% and approximately 42%, respectively, compared to the
same periods of fiscal 2009 primarily as a result of decreased revenues and
increased of cost of sales. In the third quarter and first nine months of
fiscal 2010, cost of sales as a percentage of revenues in our stevioside segment
was approximately 88% and 83%, respectively, increasing ten percentage points
from the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and four percentage points from the first
six months of fiscal 2009. This increase is primarily due to a temporary
increase in packaging costs due to Chinese government requests to include
modified product information. Also, through our acquisition of Qufu
Shengren we have begun to produce higher grades of stevioside. This acquisition
has allowed us to realize efficiencies in the production of higher grade
stevioside as we are able to specialize different production facilities for our
different products.
In the
third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2010, operating expenses for our
stevioside segment increased approximately 73% and 27%, respectively, from the
comparable periods in fiscal 2009, which is primarily attributable to a $581,000
increase in research and development expense as we explore improving the
extraction process of stevioside from the stevia leaf and $252,000 in
salaries. These increases were partially offset by the waiver of a
management fee in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 related to housing
provided to certain non-management employees, insurance for our employees, rent
for our principal offices and the use of research and development
facilities. This segment was historically allocated 55% of this fee.
We paid approximately $192,000 to Pharmaceutical Corporation, an entity
controlled by our President and Chairman, Mr. Zhang for the first nine months of
fiscal 2009, and were granted a waiver for the remaining calendar year ending
December 31, 2009 and first month of the following year. We are
currently in discussions with Mr. Zhang regarding an additional waiver of this
fee for the remainder of fiscal 2010 which we expect to obtain.
We
continue to place emphasis on the expansion of sales of stevioside in the PRC
and throughout Asia and North America. In February 2009, we entered into a
distribution agreement with Wild Flavors in connection with their investment in
our company. We believe this relationship has the potential to expand revenues
in this market through improvements in product development, marketing, and
distribution. Furthermore, in October 2009 we signed an exclusive
distribution agreement with Hunan Fuhui Flavors Co. Ltd. to distribute our
stevia extract within Hunan province in China. Under the terms of the
one year agreement, we will provide marketing support and technical staff to
support Hunan Fuhui’s sales efforts within the province. Additionally, Hunan
Fuihui must distribute at least 50 tons of stevia extract within the first year
for this agreement to be subject to renewal. Hunan Fuhui is an experienced
distributor based in the Hunan province, located in southern China and home to
more than 64 million people.
Chinese
and Veterinary Medicine Segment
In the
third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2010, revenues from our Chinese
and veterinary medicine segment decreased approximately 37% and 59%,
respectively, compared to the same periods of fiscal 2009. During the third
quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2010 period, revenues from this segment
represented approximately 26% and 25%, respectively, of our total revenues as
compared to approximately 32% and 38%, respectively, in the third quarter and
first nine months of fiscal 2009. In the third quarter and first nine months of
fiscal 2010 we generated revenues of approximately $550,000 and $1.5 million
from our traditional Chinese medicine products as compared to approximately
$818,000 and $3.5 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal
2009, a decrease of approximately 33% and 57%, respectively. In the
third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2010 we generated revenues of
approximately $447,000 and $1.2 million, respectively from our veterinary
medicine products as compared to approximately $773,000 and $3.2 million in the
third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2009, a decrease of approximately
42% and 63% as compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2009,
respectively. As described earlier in this section demand for our products in
this segment declined as a result of a variety of factors, including the
continuing impact of government restrictions on veterinary
medicines.
In the
third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2010, cost of sales as a
percentage of revenues represented approximately 77% and 76%, respectively, of
revenues within this segment, as compared to approximately 71% and 70%,
respectively, of revenues in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal
2009. Our cost of revenues increased as a percentage of revenues primarily due
to higher costs of production associated with production of smaller quantities
as a result of the decreased sales.
In the
third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2010 our gross profit within this
segment decreased approximately 50% and 67%, respectively, from the comparable
periods of fiscal 2009.
In the
third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2010, operating expenses of this
segment increased approximately 208% and 19%, respectively, primarily due to a
one time $566,000 inventory impairment of inventory where the book
value of the inventory was determined to be higher than its market value, this
was partially offset by a decrease in management fee as described above. This
segment was historically allocated 45% of this fee. This segment paid
approximately $155,000 for this fee during the first nine months of fiscal 2009
that was not replicated in the current period. Operating expenses as a
percentage of revenues increased to approximately 107% and 58% in the third
quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2010, respectively.
- 26
-
Corporate
and Other
We incur
various operating expenses at the corporate level related to stock-based
compensation, legal, auditing, professional and business consultants. For the
third quarter of fiscal 2010, these expenses decreased approximately 99% as
compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2009. This decrease resulted primarily
from the accounting treatment of the renewal of our consulting agreement with
China Direct Investments, Inc. for consulting services to be provided throughout
the rest of fiscal 2010. We fully expensed all of these consulting
services in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 due to the lack of forfeiture or
vesting provisions in our agreement with such consultants. For the
first nine months of fiscal 2010, these expenses decreased 10% as a result of
recognizing a full year of this consulting expense in the first quarter of
fiscal 2010.
TOTAL
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
In the
third quarter of fiscal 2010, our total other expense increased approximately
$1.3 million to an expense item of $1.3 million as compared to an income item of
$12,771 during the third quarter of fiscal 2009. In the first nine months of
fiscal 2010, our total other expense increased approximately $1.4 million to an
expense item of $1.4 million as compared to an income item of $37,272 during the
first nine months of fiscal 2009. Other expense for the third quarter and first
nine months of fiscal 2010 is primarily due a $1.1 million loss disposition of
building and equipment and the local government requested us to vacate our
former stevioside facility and relocate to a new location. We sold a
portion of the equipment for less than book value.
In
November 2009, the Qufu City Environmental Protection Agency provided us notice
to cease operations and vacate by December 31, 2009 our 36,000 square foot
stevioside production facility that we leased from Qufu ShengDa
Industry Co., Ltd., and unaffiliated government entity. This notice
followed a city policy to cease operations of factories not located in newly
zoned areas of the city. In connection with the cessation of operations
at this facility, we abandoned production equipment located at this facility and
we recognized a loss on disposal of equipment attributable to this event of
$1,100,813.
During
the current fiscal year, we produced approximately 86 tons of stevioside
products. This loss of production capacity at our former facility leased
from Qufu ShengDa Industry Co., Ltd. was picked up at our 33,000 square foot
facility we acquired from Qufu Shengren in March 2009 located within the city of
Qufu’s demarcated industrial economic zone.
The other
expense is also due to a loss recorded based upon the change in fair value of
our derivative liability related to our common stock purchase
warrants. In accordance with ASC 815, we revalue the liability at
each reporting period recognizing the change in fair value on our statement of
operations. Finally, other expense is also mainly due to our equity in the loss
of our equity method investee, Sunwin USA.
In the
third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2010, interest income increased
$1,230 and $3,342, respectively, from the third quarter and first nine months of
fiscal 2009. These increases reflected more interest earned due to comparatively
more cash held in banks.
FOREIGN
TAXES
Foreign
taxes for the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2010 decreased $28,580 and
$155,219, respectively, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2009 due to lower
income generated in China. We did not generate significant revenues in the U.S.
in any period presented and only incurred corporate and non-cash expenses and
therefore have a net loss carryforward for U.S. tax purposes.
NET INCOME
(LOSS)
We
recognized a net loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 of $2.9 million
compared to net income of $28,268 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 primarily
due to our $1.1 million loss on disposition of building and equipment, $566,000
inventory impairment, a 25% drop in revenues, and $581,000 increases in research
and development. We recognized a net loss for the first nine months of
fiscal 2010 of $3.4 million compared to net income of $723,737 for the same
period in fiscal 2009 due to the same reasons stated earlier.
NET
INCOME (LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO SUNWIN INTERNATIONAL NEUTRACEUTICALS,
INC.
In the
third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2010 we reported a net loss
attributable to Sunwin International Neutraceuticals, Inc. of $2.9 million and
$3.4 million, respectively, as compared to net income attributable to Sunwin
International Neutraceuticals, Inc. of $8,272 and $723,737 for the third quarter
and first nine months of fiscal 2009, respectively. This item takes into effect
attributing approximately $37,000 and $96,000, respectively, of Qufu Shengwang’s
loss to the noncontrolling interest for the same periods.

From an
overall perspective, the current global economic downturn has not had a
significant impact upon our liquidity as we have been able to maintain the
majority of our short-term financing through more favorable payment terms with
our suppliers and vendors rather than business loans from banks. The
economic downturn and reactions to the swine flu virus has impacted our
operations and has reduced customer demand for the last four quarters over all
product categories in both segments as described earlier in this report and our
customers are slower to pay us with days sales outstanding increasing to an
average of 90 days for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 up from 61 days for
the first nine months of fiscal 2009.

12 months, increased $10,359 from April 30, 2009. While we have seen an increase
in days sales outstanding in the current period, the aging of our receivables
and our perception of our customers’ abilities to pay have not significantly
changed to require a modification to our allowance for doubtful accounts as of
January 31, 2010. Our total allowance for doubtful accounts as of
April 30, 2009 is related to our Chinese and veterinary medicine segment. We
may, however, collect all or a portion of these doubtful accounts. At January
31, 2010 accounts receivables decreased 18% as a result of our
decrease in sales compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.
At
January 31, 2010, inventories, net of reserve for obsolete inventory, decreased
$980,810 as compared to April 30, 2009. This decrease is primarily due to a
$566,00 inventory impairment in our Chinese and Veterinary Medicine Segment as a
result of adjusting this inventory to market value and the impact of decreases
is raw materials inventory as we delay replacement of used up raw material as a
result of declining demand and decreased sales.
Prepaid
expenses and other current assets increased $551,621 or approximately 186% at
January 31, 2010 as compared to April 30, 2009. This increase was primarily
related to an approximately $584,000 deposit for research and testing and
$102,000 of prepaid consulting fees for new products in our Chinese and
veterinary medicine segment. The project has not been completed and this deposit
will be amortized as the work is completed. The change is also
attributable to timing differences near our fiscal year end related to
advances to suppliers. These advances reflect deposits to suppliers in
anticipation of the upcoming harvest season and are related to future
delivery of raw materials inventory.
At
January 31, 2010, we had property and equipment, net of accumulated
depreciation, of $16,290,777 as compared to $19,121,340, a 15% decrease from
April 30, 2009. This decrease is due to a $1.1 million loss on disposal of fixed
assets from our relocation of our stevioside facility upon the request of the
local Chinese Government and normally occurring depreciation expense during the
first six months of fiscal 2010 offset by $559,097 in fixed asset capital
expenditures used to further our planned improvement of our Qufu Shengren
stevioside facility.
At
January 31, 2010, we reflected $2,452,412 of accounts payable and accrued
expenses, remaining relatively consistent with the balance at April 30, 2009.
This balance includes trade accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2,342,412
and accrued salaries and benefits of $110,019. Of the total accounts payable and
accrued expenses at January 31, 2010, approximately $1.4 million relates to our
stevioside segment, with the balance of approximately $673,000 relating to
our Chinese and veterinary medicine segment. The change at January 31, 2010
compared to April 30, 2009 reflects timing differences of payments made in the
ordinary course of business.
At
January 31, 2010, we had a due to related parties balance of $1,477, an
approximate 97% decrease from April 30, 2009 as we repaid an advance from Mr. Ma
Qiang of $57,100 during the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
At
January 31, 2010, we had other current payables of $0 compared to $10,000 at
April 30, 2009; other current payables included a $10,000 unsecured,
non-interest bearing, advance from an unrelated party. We repaid this advance
during the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
At
January 31, 2010, we held cash of $11,538,243 as compared to cash of $10,487,165
at April 30, 2009, an increase of $1,051,078. During the first nine months of
fiscal 2010, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $740,133, net
cash provided from investing activities was $57,761, net cash provided by
financing activities was $254,780, and the effect of prevailing exchange rate on
cash of $1,597.

Net cash
provided by operating activities increased approximately $1.1 million to
$740,134 during the first nine months of fiscal 2010 as compared to cash used in
operating activities of $337,448 for the first nine months of fiscal 2009.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2010, we used $551,621 for prepaid
expenses, $91,540 to pay down taxes payable. These uses were primarily offset by
adjustments to net income of non cash expenses of $3,656,620 related to
depreciation, amortization, loss on disposal of fixed assets and stock-based
consulting, $627,558 received from customers paying off receivables, and
$246,679 due to decreased inventory levels. Comparatively during the first nine
months of fiscal 2009, cash used in operating activities of $337,448 is
primarily due to $2,318,340 increase in inventory, and payments for taxes and
$233,234 offset by adjustment to net income for non-cash expenses of $1,590,021
and similar paying down of accounts receivable from our customers of $446,076
.
Net cash
provided by investing activities totaled $57,761 during the first nine months of
fiscal 2010 as compared to $167,829 during the first nine months of fiscal 2009.
In May, 2009 we converted Sunwin Stevia International into Sunwin USA and in the
process deconsolidated the former subsidiary due to our loss of controlling
interest and management control of the entity. As part of the
deconsolidation, $260,569 of cash belonging to Sunwin USA is no longer
consolidated in our consolidated financial statements and is presented as cash
contributed to this equity method investment. We also spent $559,097
in capital expenditures associated with capital improvements in our
stevioside segment. These uses were partially offset by $877,427
in proceeds from the sale of fixed assets during the period. This is
an decrease of $110,068 of cash used in investing compared to the first nine
months of fiscal 2009 when we acquired $410,704 in cash from our acquisition of
Qufu Shengwang and we spent $242,875 for capital expenditures.
Net cash
provided by financing activities totaled $254,780 during the first nine months
of fiscal 2010 as compared to cash provided of $180,000 during the first nine
months of fiscal 2009. During the first nine months of fiscal 2010,
2,079,200 of our common stock purchase warrants were exercised at $0.15
providing proceeds of $311,8800, this inflow was offset by repayment of a
$57,100 advance from a related party occurring during the second quarter of
fiscal 2010. During the first nine months of fiscal 2009, we
received $180,000 in short-term financing paid off later in fiscal
2009.
We
believe that existing cash and cash equivalents and internally generated funds
will be sufficient to cover working capital requirements and capital
expenditures for the next twelve months for our current operations.
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;
|
|
-
|
Any
retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States.

CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES.
|
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
Under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer, our who serves as our principal executive officer
and our Chief Financial Officer who serves as our principal financial and
accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in
Rules 3M-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), as of the period ended January 31, 2010 (the
“Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, and as described below under
“Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting”, we indentified material
weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 3M-15(f)) described in the next section. Solely as a
result of these material weaknesses, our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective as of January 31, 2010, which is the
end of the period covered by this report.
A
material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal
control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility
that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial
statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our
"disclosure controls and procedures" are controls and other procedures that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports
filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified in the Sac’s rules and
forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
The
specific material weaknesses identified by our management related
to:
We
did not properly record common stock purchase warrants which were not
indexed to our stock as a derivative liability at May 1, 2009 upon
adoption of Derivative and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC 815 and properly
record the subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the
associated liability at July 31, 2009 or October 31, 2009 and for the
periods then ended
|
|||
-
|
We
have an inadequate number of personnel and our Chief Financial Officer and
our staff within our finance and accounting group in the PRC do not
have the requisite expertise in generally accepted accounting principles
and the securities laws of the United States to ensure the proper
application thereof;
|
||
-
|
Our
internal audit function is significantly deficient due to insufficient
qualified resources to perform internal audit functions; and
|
||
-
|
We
do not have an Audit Committee of our board of directors that is comprised
of independent directors.
|
We
believe the following actions we have taken and plan to take will be sufficient
to remediate the material weaknesses described above:
-
|
We
have trained our existing accounting staff on how to account for financial
instrument that could be considered derivative liabilities and include
quarter-end reviews of our existing financials instruments which may be
impacted by ASC 815.
|
||
-
|
We
will seek to hire an adequate number of personnel involved in the
preparation of the financial statements and disclosures with the requisite
expertise in generally accepted accounting principles to ensure the proper
application thereof;
|
||
-
|
We
will evaluate hiring additional internal audit resources and are
considering a position for an internal auditor who will test and monitor
the implementation of our accounting and internal control
procedures;
|
||
-
|
We
will review and revise our existing documentation of our accounting and
internal control procedures and policies which will include appropriate
controls and procedures for accounting for intercompany transactions and
related party transactions;
|
||
-
|
We
will implement an initiative to ensure the importance of internal controls
and compliance with established policies and procedures that are fully
understood throughout our company; and
|
||
-
|
We
will provide training to our employees to ensure these procedures are
properly performed.
|
Management
believes the actions described above will remediate the material weaknesses we
have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting.
While we expect the material weakness will be remediated prior to April 30, 2010
subject to our ability to find and attract adequate professional resources on
reasonable financial terms. If the result of our remediation of the
identified material weaknesses is not successful, or if additional material
weaknesses are identified in our internal control over financial reporting, our
management will be unable to report favorably as to the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting and/or our disclosure controls and
procedures, and we could be required to further restate our financial
statements, implement expensive and time-consuming remedial measures and
potentially lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our
financial reports which could have an adverse effect on our stock price and
potentially subject us to litigation.As we implement remediation measures, we
may supplement or modify them as described above.
Our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our
internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no
matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are 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. Due to 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, within our Company have been detected.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was
no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in
connection with the evaluation of our controls performed during the quarter
ended January 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
