Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results

This report contains forward-looking statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company's future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This report and other written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on management's plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "will" and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, and financial results. A list of factors that could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially is set forth below, and these factors are discussed in greater detail under Item 1A - "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2015, as amended, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission:

 
-
 
Dependence on related party revenues;
 
-
 
Dependence upon continued market acceptance of our stevioside products, maintaining Generally Recognized as Safe status in the United States and obtaining approval in other countries in the world that currently do not permit use of steviosides in food products;
 
-
 
Competition and low barriers to entry to the market in which we sell our products;
 
-
 
Our dependence on the services of our president;
 
-
 
Our inability to control the cost of our raw materials;
 
-
 
The limitation on our ability to receive and use our cash flows effectively as a result of restrictions on currency exchange in the PRC;
 
-
 
Our operations are subject to government regulation. If we fail to comply with the applicable regulations, our ability to operate in future periods could be in jeopardy;
 
-
 
The absence of various corporate governance measures which may reduce stockholders' protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and other matters;
 
-
 
The effect of changes resulting from the political and economic policies of the Chinese government on our assets and operations located in the PRC;
 
-
 
The impact of economic reform policies in the PRC;
 
-
 
The influence of the Chinese government over the manner in which our Chinese subsidiaries must conduct our business activities;
 
-
 
The impact of any natural disasters and health epidemics in China;
 
-
 
Regulations relating to offshore investment activities by Chinese residents may increase the administrative burden we face and create regulatory uncertainties that may limit or adversely affect our ability to complete a business combination with PRC companies;
 
-
 
The lack of various legal protections in certain agreements to which we are a party and which are material to our operations which are customarily contained in similar contracts prepared in the United States;
 
-
 
Our ability to enforce our rights due to policies regarding the regulation of foreign investments in China;
 
-
 
Difficulties stockholders may face who seek to enforce any judgment obtained in the United States against us, which may limit the remedies otherwise available to our stockholders;
 
-
 
Our ability to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act which could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences;
 
-
 
Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent a take-over which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders;
 
-
 
Our dependence on our corporate management services in the preparation of our financial statements and reports we file with the SEC.
 
-
 
Adverse affects on the liquidity of our stock because it currently trades below $5.00 per share, is quoted on the OTC bulletin board, and is considered a "penny stock" and
 
-
 
The impact on our stock price due to future sales of restricted stock held by existing shareholders.

We caution that the factors described herein and other factors could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements we make and that investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

SUNWIN STEVIA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 31, 2016


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
 
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Sunwin Stevia International, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries are referred to in this report as "we", "us", "our", or "Sunwin". We changed our name from Sunwin Neutraceuticals International Inc. to Sunwin Stevia International, Inc. on April 23, 2012 to more accurately reflect our business operations.

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 into two operating segments related to our Stevioside and Chinese Medicine product lines.

Stevioside Segment

In our Stevioside segment, we produce and sell a variety of purified steviol glycosides with rebaudioside A and stevioside as the principal components, an all natural, low calorie sweetener, and OnlySweet, a stevioside based table top sweetener.

Chinese Medicine Segment

In our Chinese Medicine Segment, we manufacture and sell a variety of traditional Chinese medicine formula extracts which are used in products made for use by both humans and animals.

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 represented 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 - based fertilizers and feed additives.

On September 30, 2011, Qufu Natural Green purchased the 40% equity interest in Qufu Shengwang owned by our Korean partner, Korea Stevia Company, Limited, for $626,125 in cash, and as a result of this repurchase transaction we now own 100% equity interest in all of the net assets of our subsidiary Qufu Shengwang.
 
On July 1, 2012, Qufu Shengwang entered the Cooperation Agreement with Hegeng (Beijing) Organic Farm Technology Co, Ltd. ("Hegeng"), a Chinese manufacturer and distributor of bio-fertilizers and pesticides, to jointly develop bio-bacterial fertilizers based on the residues from our stevia extraction. Under the Cooperation Agreement, Hegeng provides strain and formula that we apply to the stevia residues to produce bio-bacterial fertilizers in the current facility of Qufu Shengwang. The bio-bacterial fertilizers will be distributed under Qufu Shengwang's name.  No additional investment in the facility would be required. During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we decided to suspend the agreement with Hegeng due to a lack of sales since the reaction to the products was lower than anticipated in fertilizer market. Currently we plan to use these assets to manufacture a variety of traditional Chinese medicine formula extracts. We started production in last quarter of fiscal 2014.

Qufu Shengren

In fiscal 2009, Qufu Natural Green acquired Qufu Shengren for $3,097,242. The purchase price was 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. Prior to being acquired by us, Qufu Shengren was engaged in the production and distribution of bulk drugs and pharmaceuticals.  Subsequent to the acquisition, Qufu Shengren produces and distributes steviosides with a full range of grades from rebaudioside-A 10 to 99.

Sunwin USA

In fiscal 2009, we entered into a distribution agreement with WILD Flavors to assist our 55% owned subsidiary, Sunwin USA, in the marketing and worldwide distribution of our stevioside-based sweetener products and issued WILD Flavors a 45% interest in Sunwin USA.

On August 8, 2012, we entered into an Exchange Agreement with WILD Flavors pursuant to which we purchased its 45% membership interest in Sunwin USA for an aggregate consideration of approximately $1,625,874, which includes the issuance of 7,666,666 shares of our common stock valued at approximately $1,533,333 and a cash payment of $92,541.  The transaction closed on August 20, 2012. On August 22, 2012, we issued 7,666,666 shares of our common stock and paid $92,541 cash to WILD Flavors. The $92,541 cash payment was paid by China Direct Investment, Inc. ("CDI"), our corporate management service provider, and reimbursed by us to CDI through the issuance of our common shares as part of the terms of the consulting agreement with CDI dated May 1, 2012. The net tangible assets of Sunwin USA were reduced from $1,825,804 to $1,625,874 as a result of the application of generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") which requires elimination of the difference between the purchase price of the 45% membership interest in Sunwin USA and cost basis of the intangible assets recorded by Sunwin USA. Intangible assets include the product development and supply chain for OnlySweet.

Under the terms of the agreement, WILD Flavors assumed certain pre-closing obligations of Sunwin USA totaling approximately $694,000, including trade accounts receivable, loans, health care and monthly expenses of an employee, potential chargebacks, bank fees and broker commissions incurred prior to the closing date. The agreement also contained customary joint indemnification and general releases.  As a result of this transaction, we began consolidating the operations of Sunwin USA from the date of acquisition (August 20, 2012).

In addition to the Exchange Agreement, on August 8, 2012 we entered into the following additional agreements with WILD Flavors or its affiliate:

-           We entered into an Amendment to Operating Agreement with WILD Flavors pursuant to which we are now the sole management of Sunwin USA and certain sections of the original agreement dated April 29, 2009 were cancelled as they were no longer relevant following our purchase of the minority interest in Sunwin USA described above;

-           We entered into a Termination of Distribution Agreement with WILD Flavors and Sunwin USA pursuant to which the Distribution Agreement dated February 5, 2009 was terminated; and
 
-           We entered into a Distributorship Agreement with WILD Procurement Gmbh, a Swiss corporation ("WILD Procurement") which is an affiliate of WILD Flavors. Under the terms of this agreement, we appointed WILD Procurement as a non-exclusive world-wide distributor for the resale of our stevia products.  There are no minimum purchase quantities under the agreement, and the pricing and terms of each order will be negotiated by the parties at the time each purchase order is placed.  The agreement restricts WILD Procurement from purchasing steviosides or other forms of stevia that are included in our products from sources other than our company under certain circumstances. In addition, at such time as we desire to offer new products, we must first offer WILD Procurement the non-exclusive right to distribute those products and the parties will have 60 days to reach mutually agreeable terms. The agreement contains certain representations by us as to the quality of the products we may sell WILD Procurement and the products' compliance with applicable laws and good manufacturing practices, as well as customary confidentiality and indemnification provisions.

In the event WILD Procurement should fund research on stevia used in food, beverage or dietary supplement applications, and as a result of this research it develops new intellectual property, such intellectual property shall be the sole property of WILD Procurement. In the event we should jointly fund research, any new intellectual property developed from this effort will be jointly owned and each party will have the right to use the developed intellectual property in stevia-based products.

The agreement is for an initial term of 12 months and will automatically renew for successive 12 month terms unless the agreement has been terminated by either party upon 45 days prior written notice. There are no assurances any purchase orders will be placed under the terms of the Distribution Agreement. The agreement may also be terminated by either party upon a material breach by the other party, or upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition, both subject to certain cure periods. In the event the agreement is terminated, WILD Procurement has the right to continue to distribute our products on a non-exclusive basis for 24 months upon terms and conditions to be negotiated by the parties. This agreement is still in effect as of today.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim financial reporting. The accompanying unaudited condensed 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. Certain financial statement amounts relating to prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes for the year ended April 30, 2015 included in our Form 10-K as filed with the SEC. The results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows which may be reported for future periods or the full fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2015 contained herein has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2015, but do not include all disclosures required by the U.S. GAAP.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sunwin and all our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Our subsidiaries include the following:

-                                            Qufu Natural Green;
-                                            Qufu Shengren;
-                                            Qufu Shengwang;
-                                            Sunwin Tech; and
-                                            Sunwin USA

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, during the first nine months ended January 31, 2016, the Company had a net loss of $2.7 million and net cash provided by operations of approximately $309,000. At January 31, 2016, we had working capital of $3.9 million, including cash of $225,726. We believe the Company has the ability to further implement its business plan, raise additional capital, generate more revenues, and collect receivables from the third party and related parties to increase the working capital. However, actual results could differ from our anticipation.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the allowance for obsolete inventory, the useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets and valuation of deferred tax assets, and the value of stock-based compensation.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash and equivalents. As of January 31, 2016, we held $225,726 of our cash and cash equivalents with commercial banking institutions in the PRC, and none with banks in the United States. As of April 30, 2015, we held $241,845 of our cash and cash equivalents with commercial banking institution in PRC, and $122 in the United States. In China, there is no equivalent federal deposit insurance as in the United States, so the amounts held in banks in China are not insured. We have not experienced any losses in such bank accounts through January 31, 2016.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable and other receivable are reported at net realizable value. We have 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, 2016 and April 30, 2015, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $1,116,039 and $1,207,075, 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. An allowance is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record reserves for the difference between the cost and the market value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates. At January 31, 2016 and April 30, 2015, the Company recorded a reserve for obsolete or slow-moving inventories of $560,339 and $608,186, respectively. These is no change in inventory reserve at January 31, 2016 from April 30, 2015. The decrease reserve as disclose above is resulted from changes of foreign currency translation difference.

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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"), 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.
 
Included in property and equipment is construction-in-progress which consisted of factory improvements and machinery pending installation and included the costs of construction, machinery and equipment, and or any interest charges arising from borrowings used to finance these assets during the period of construction or installation of the assets if applicable. No provision for depreciation is made on construction-in-progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and ready for their intended use.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

In accordance with ASC 360, we review and evaluate our long-lived assets, including property and equipment, intangible assets, and land use rights, for impairment or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets, including goodwill, if any. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. Our estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates. Based on our evaluation, we have determined certain long-lived assets that are no longer useful for our operations, and we recorded a disposition loss of $429,172 and $2,198 for the nine months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We adopted ASC Section 820-10-35-37 to measure the fair value of our financial instruments. ASC Section 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 ASC Section 820-10-35-37 did not have an impact on our financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures.

ASC Section 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, ASC Section 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 our financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, prepayments and other current assets, accounts payable, taxes payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.  

TAXES PAYABLE

We are required to charge for and to collect value added taxes (VAT) on our sales on behalf of the PRC tax authority. We record VAT that we billed our customers as VAT payable. In addition, we are required to pay value added taxes on our primary purchases. We record VAT that charged by our vendors as VAT receivable. We are required to file VAT return on a monthly basis with the PRC tax authority, which we are entitled to claim the VAT that we charged by vendors as VAT credit and these credits can be applied to our VAT payable that we billed our customers.  Accordingly, these VAT payable and receivable are presented as net amounts for financial statement purposes. Taxes payable on January 31, 2016 and April 30, 2015 amounted to $69,244 and $43,046, respectively, consisted primarily of VAT taxes.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Pursuant to the guidance of ASC Topic 605, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

GRANT INCOME

Grants received from PRC government agencies are recognized as deferred grant income and recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as and when they are earned for the specific research and development projects for which these grants are received.

INCOME TAXES
 
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes ("ASC 740-10") which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce the deferred tax assets to an amount that it is more likely than not be realized.

We file federal and state income tax returns in the United States for our corporate operations pursuant to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and file separate foreign tax returns for our Chinese subsidiaries pursuant to the China's Unified Corporate Income Tax Law.
 
We apply the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes", which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in our consolidated financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company's liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company's results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of January 31, 2016, the Company had no uncertain tax positions, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future.

BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

Pursuant to ASC Section 260-10-45, 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 us, subject to anti-dilution limitations. The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income per common share:

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 ASC Section 830-20-35 and are included in determining net income or loss.
 
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the parent company is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company's operating subsidiaries is the Chinese Renminbi ("RMB").  In accordance with ASC 830-20-35, the consolidated financial statements were translated into United States dollars using balance sheet date rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for the income statements and cash flows. Equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. 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 other comprehensive income or loss.
 
RMB is not a fully convertible currency. All foreign exchange transactions involving RMB must take place either through the People's Bank of China (the "PBOC") or other institutions authorized to buy and sell foreign exchange. The exchange rate adopted for the foreign exchange transactions are the rates of exchange quoted by the PBOC, which are determined largely by supply and demand. Translation of amounts from RMB into United States dollars ("$") was made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:
 
As of January 31, 2016
RMB 6.60 to $1.00
As of April 30, 2015
RMB 6.09 to $1.00
   
Nine months ended January 31, 2016
RMB 6.30 to $1.00
Nine months ended January 31, 2015
RMB 6.15 to $1.00
 
COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
 
Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and all changes to the statements of stockholders' equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. For the Company, comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015 included net loss and unrealized gains (losses) from foreign currency translation adjustments. 
 
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Substantially all of our operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC's economy. Our operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. Our results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

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, 2016, we had $225,726 of cash balance held in PRC banks, which is not insured. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts through January 31, 2016.

Almost all of our 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 that the concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited due to generally short payment terms. We also perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers to help further reduce potential credit risk.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of ASC Topic 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). ASC 718 also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

January 31, 2016

 
Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the "measurement date." The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. The awards to consultants and other third-parties are then revalued, or the total compensation is recalculated, based on the then current fair value, at each subsequent reporting date.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. Research and development costs are incurred on a project specific basis. Research and development cost were $571,574 and $114,482 for the three months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015; and $614,465 and $119,827 for the nine months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
 
SHIPPING COSTS

       Shipping costs are included in selling expenses and totaled $113,441 and $59,605 for the three months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015; and $209,830 and $198,417 for the nine months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes". The amendments in ASU 2015-17 eliminates the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The amendments may be applied prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." The amendments in ASU 2016-01, among other things, requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; Requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; Requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables); Eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. . The amendments in this ASU are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The new guidance permits early adoption of the own credit provision. In addition, the new guidance permits early adoption of the provision that exempts private companies and not-for-profit organizations from having to disclose fair value information about financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, we have not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE HELD FOR RESALE
 
On August 25, 2011, Qufu Natural Green entered into an agreement with Qufu Jinxuan Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., an unaffiliated third party, to purchase thirty apartment units in China for investment. The total area of the apartment complex units is 4,500 square meters (48,438 square feet), for a total purchase price of RMB15,120,000 (approximately $2,484,799) (the "Purchase Price"), at RMB 3,360 (US$546) per square meter. The Company prepaid 80% of the Purchase Price, approximately $1,987,839, upon signing the agreement on August 25, 2011, and we classified investment in real estate held for resale as a long-term asset since we did not plan on selling the apartment units during the one year period. On February 9, 2015, the Company decided to award twenty apartment complex units, totaling 3,000 square meters (32,292 square feet), to certain management personnel and outstanding performers in our technical team for their past contribution made to the Company, which also served as an incentive to stimulate improvement in performance of other employees and attract future talents to serve the Company. These apartment units are valued at the fair market price of RMB3,448 (US$561) per square meter. Ms. Dongdong Lin, our Chief Executive Officer, received an apartment valued at $84,206 which was included in her fiscal 2015 compensation. Total non-cash employees' compensation / bonus recorded for this reward amounted to RMB10,344,000 (US$1,684,122) and as a result, we recognized a gain of RMB 264,000 (US$42,989) from the excess fair value of these twenty apartment units transferred to these employees. The non-cash employees' compensation / bonus has been classified and included in the general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015. As of January 31, 2016 and April 30, 2015, investment in real estate held for resale amounted to $305,242 and $331,306, respectively.

NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
On August 25, 2011, Qufu Natural Green entered into an agreement with Qufu Jinxuan Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., an unaffiliated third party, to purchase thirty apartment units in China for investment. The total area of the apartment complex units is 4,500 square meters (48,438 square feet), for a total purchase price of RMB15,120,000 (approximately $2,484,799) (the "Purchase Price"), at RMB 3,360 (US$546) per square meter. The Company prepaid 80% of the Purchase Price, approximately $1,987,839, upon signing the agreement on August 25, 2011, and we classified investment in real estate held for resale as a long-term asset since we did not plan on selling the apartment units during the one year period. On February 9, 2015, the Company decided to award twenty apartment complex units, totaling 3,000 square meters (32,292 square feet), to certain management personnel and outstanding performers in our technical team for their past contribution made to the Company, which also served as an incentive to stimulate improvement in performance of other employees and attract future talents to serve the Company. These apartment units are valued at the fair market price of RMB3,448 (US$561) per square meter. Ms. Dongdong Lin, our Chief Executive Officer, received an apartment valued at $84,206 which was included in her fiscal 2015 compensation. Total non-cash employees' compensation / bonus recorded for this reward amounted to RMB10,344,000 (US$1,684,122) and as a result, we recognized a gain of RMB 264,000 (US$42,989) from the excess fair value of these twenty apartment units transferred to these employees. The non-cash employees' compensation / bonus has been classified and included in the general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015. As of January 31, 2016 and April 30, 2015, investment in real estate held for resale amounted to $305,242 and $331,306, respectively.

(iii)    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 the PRC. At January 31, 2016, we had $225,726 on deposit in the PRC, where there is no equivalent of federal deposit insurance as in the United States. As a result, cash held in PRC financial institutions is not insured. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts through January 31, 2016.
 
Almost all of our 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 that the concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited due to generally short payment terms. We also perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers to help further reduce potential credit risk.

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 the preceding unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes and our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended April 30, 2015, as amended.

OVERVIEW
 
We sell stevioside, a natural sweetener, as well as herbs used in traditional Chinese medicines. Substantially all of our operations are located in the PRC. We have built an integrated company with the production and distribution capabilities designed to meet the needs of our customers.
 
Our operations were organized in two operating segments related to our product lines:

 
-
 
Stevioside, and
 
-
 
Chinese Medicine.

Recent Developments

We are planning to start buildings a new facility with annual capacity of 500 metric tons in order to meet substantially increased demand for our high-grade stevia products. In fiscal 2015 and in the first nine months ended January 31, 2016, we have invested approximately $670,000 and $408,000, respectively, in this new facility. The new manufacturing facility is fully equipped with stainless steel equipment without any plastic while it has a fully automated system in order to prevent any potential contamination from operators and plastic. In addition, the new manufacturing facility uses the most advanced production equipment that is the first time to be used for stevia production in the industry, such as scraper with centrifuge and fluidized drying system.

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. Stevioside can be used to replace sugar in beverages and foods, including those that require baking or cooking where synthetic chemical based sweetener replacements are not suitable.

Steviosin is a natural low calorie stevioside extract for medicinal use, containing rebaudioside A at 90% with the total steviol glycosides meeting or exceeding 95% on a dry weight basis. Steviosin is used as an alternative sweetener in the pharmaceutical production in China.

OnlySweet6¾4 is an all natural, zero calorie, dietary supplement comprised of three natural ingredients, including stevioside.  Based on our strategy to develop new products that contain our stevia products, we are evaluating our strategy for the sale and distribution of OnlySweet6¾4.

In an effort to meet the international food safety standards mandated by larger consumer product companies that we expect to target as customers in the future, we have made capital investments to enhance our manufacturing facilities, equipment and documentation systems, changed certain manufacturing processes and carried out additional personnel training in order to meet these standards.  These investments allowed us to meet the HACCP System Certification, ISO 9001:2008 Certification and ISO 22000:2005 Food Safety Certification. We obtained these certifications in November, 2010.

Chinese Medicine Segment

In our Chinese medicine segment, we manufacture and sell approximately 354 different 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.

We have evaluated alternatives as to the potential disposition of the Chinese medicine segment to further streamline our product offering and focus our business on producing and selling high-quality stevia products. The exit strategy contemplated for the Chinese medicine segment has also been influenced by our concerns regarding the profitability of this segment in the near future. The competition in Chinese medicine market has strengthened over the past few months. In addition, the Chinese government continues to issue more regulations covering the supply of Chinese herbal raw materials and has increased the regulatory manufacturing standards on this segment. These measures are expected to further increase our raw materials and production costs in the coming quarters and beyond. However, this segment is currently operating at full capacity and we do not expect significant growth potential from this segment in the near future. 

OUR PERFORMANCE

 Our total revenues totaled $3.8 million in the three months ended January 31, 2016, an decreased of 19.4% from the same period in 2015, and our gross margin decreased to 8.0% from 22.6% compared to the same period in 2015. Our sales revenues, excluding revenues from related party, decreased by 31.7% in the three months ended January 31, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. Revenues from related parties increased by 12.5% in the three months ended January 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. Our operating expenses in the three months ended January 31, 2016 increased by 63.0% compared to the same period in 2015. Our net loss for the three months ended January 31, 2016 was approximately $2,099,000 as compared to $324,000 for the same period in 2015. 

 Our revenues totaled $11.9 million during the nine months ended January 31, 2016, an decrease of 5.8% as compared with the same period in 2015 while our gross margin decreased to 13.7% from 19.7%. Our total operating expenses in the nine months ended January 31, 2016 increased by approximately $710,000 or 19.8% compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to an increase of approximately $495,000 and $427,000, or 412.8% and 19,425.6% in research and development and loss on disposition of property and equipment, respectively, offset by a decrease of approximately $87,000 and $124,000, or 7.9% and 5.3% in selling expense and general and administrative expense, respectively. Our net loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2016 was approximately $2,739,000, an increase of $1,650,000 from the same period in 2015.

Our operating performance for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2016 was primarily driven by a decrease of 31.7% and 30.0%, respectively, in sales revenue excluding revenues from related party in our Stevioside segment, offset by a slightly higher revenue in our Chinese medicine segment, as compared to the same periods in 2015.

During the first three months ended January 31, 2016, the sales revenue of our stevia products in our Stevioside segment started to decrease for the first time from its consistent increase in the past several years, primarily due to a decreasing demand from the domestic market and the shift in our effort to focus more on developing sales in the international market. While we have broadened our stevia product offerings to include a number of higher quality stevia grades needed in new product formulations we are developing to introduce to the U.S. and European food and beverage industry, the demand for higher grade stevia products has yet to materialize to the degree we had anticipated, and thus our sales volume in higher grade stevia products was lower than expected for fiscal 2016. Stevia has been widely accepted by the food industry and many new stevia manufacturers have entered this industry in the past few years, and recently we introduced a new product line. We are now focusing on new types of stevia products, including tablets, liquid, High A products, and others. We expect to consistently increase our sales of our new products; however we cannot quantify this increase and its effects on future periods.
 
The slightly increase in revenues in our Chinese medicine was primarily due to the increase of our unit sales price as market prices increase and the result of the restructure of our Chinese medicine segment.

Our Outlook

We believe that there are significant opportunities for worldwide growth in our Stevioside segment, primarily in the U.S. and EU. For fiscal 2016 and beyond, we will continue to focus on our core business of producing and selling stevioside series products.
 
Some of the recent favorable observations related to the stevia markets in fiscal 2016 include:

 
-
Chinese domestic food and beverages, particularly herbal tea manufacturers and the pharmaceutical industry, have increased the use of steviosides;
 
-
Southeast and South Asia have renewed and increased their interest in stevia, particularly high grade stevia;
 
-
The marketing strategy to differentiate ourselves as a producer of higher quality stevia grades and product formulations through these collaboration efforts will lead to sustainable growth in stevia sales volume in the future; and
 
-
A new stevia extraction line was finished in December 2015. This new line will add additional 500 metric tons to our current annual production capacity;


 
- 19 -

 
 
 
 


Meanwhile, we are also facing challenges in competitive pricing and raw materials for fiscal 2016. During fiscal 2015, the market prices of stevioside products were impacted by strong price competition among Chinese manufacturers. We expect the pressure from pricing competition to continue in fiscal 2016. We anticipate the price of stevia leaves, the raw material used to produce our stevioside series products, to increase in fiscal 2016.

Revenues

Total consolidated revenues in the first three months ended January 31, 2016 decreased by approximately 19.4% as compared to the same period in 2015.  Stevioside revenues, which accounts for 83.8% and 87.0% of our total revenues in the first three months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, decreased by approximately 22.4%, while Chinese medicine revenues increased by approximately $2,000 or 0.4%.
 
Within our Stevioside segment, revenues from sales to third parties decreased by 38.7%, while sales to the related party increased by 12.5% in the first three months ended January 31, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015. Since we do not have the authorization to export products from China, we outsourced all of our exporting business to a related party, Qufu Shengwang Import and Export Corporation, which has authorizations to export. During the first three months ended January 31, 2016, within our Stevioside segment, we produced 87 metric tons, an decrease of 10% as compared to 97 metric tons during the same period in 2015; however the average unit price of our stevia products has increased by 7.6%. We generated revenue from the new launched products including A3-99 and the customized orders for restructuring by enzyme based on our Stevioside products which accounted for approximately 21.1% and 33.3% of total Stevioside segment revenues in the three months ended January 31, 2016and 2015, respectively.

Total revenues in the first nine months ended January 31, 2016 decreased by approximately 5.8% as compared to the same period in 2015.  Stevioside revenues, which accounts for 85.0% and 86.4% of our total revenues in the first nine months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, decreased by approximately 7.3%, and Chinese medicine revenues increased by approximately $70,000 or 4.1%. During the first nine months ended January 31, 2016, within our Stevioside segment, we also decreased our sales volume by approximately 49,000 tons, a 17.4% decrease; however the average unit price of our stevia products was increased by 12.8%, as compared to the same period in 2015 Stevioside revenues from sales to third parties decreased by 37.7% while sales to the related party increased by 63.9% in the first nine months ended January 31, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due a decreasing demand from the domestic market and the shift in our effort to focus more on developing sales in the international market.
 
We believe that the slightly decrease of sales in Chinese Medicine segment is primarily due to an oversupply of product in the market. The unit price remains stable in the first three and nine months ended January 31, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. We expect demand to increase in the future as we expand our client base, however, we are not able to quantify this future increase.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin

Cost of revenues in the first three months ended January 31, 2016 decreased by 4.2% as compared to the same period in 2015 Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues increased from 77.4 % to 92.1%, comparing the same period in 2016 and 2015. Gross margin on Stevioside segment for the first three months ended January 31, 2016 was 3.4%, as compared to 21.5% for the same period of fiscal 2015. The lower gross margin for Stevioside was primarily due to the higher cost of raw materials during the period, as compared with the same period in 2015. Gross margin on Chinese Medicine was 31.7% in the first three months ended January 31, 2016, compared to the 29.7% in the same period in 2015. The slightly higher gross margin for Chinese Medicines was primarily due to the restructure of our product line to lower the cost of adopting of our high-efficiency product line. We believe that the slower market for animal Chinese medicines seen in prior periods has stabilized and improved. Since we purchase our raw materials on the spot market, we are unable to predict with any degree of certainty our raw material costs and their impact on gross margin in future periods. Our consolidated gross margin for the first three months ended January 31, 2016 was 8.0%, as compared to 22.6% in the same period in 2015   
 
The consolidated gross margin for the first nine months ended January 31, 2016 decreased to 13.7%, compared to 19.7% for the same period in 2015. Gross margin on Stevioside segment decreased during the first nine months ended January 31, 2016 to 10.5%, compared to 18.1% for the same period in 2015. The decrease was primarily due to the higher raw material costs during the period compared with the same period in 2015. The Chinese medicine gross margin increased to 31.7% in the first nine months ended January 31, 2016, compared to 29.8% for the same period in 2015, due to similar reasons discussed above. 

Total Selling Expenses

In the first three months ended January 31, 2016, we had a decrease of approximately $39,000, or 8.8% in selling expenses, as compared to the same period in 2015 The decrease was primarily due to the approximately $72,000 decrease in advertising and promotion expenses, $17,000 decrease in office expenses, $16,000 decrease in marketing expense, $4,000 decrease in meal and entertainment expense, and offset by approximately $54,000 increase in shipping and freight, $9,000 increase in travel expense and $7,000 increase in China local sales taxes.

In the first nine months ended January 31, 2016, we had an decrease of approximately $87,000, or 7.9% in selling expenses, as compared to the same period in 2015. The decrease was primarily due to the approximately $53,000 decrease in office expense, $18,000 decrease in advertising and promotion expenses, $11,000 decrease in meals and entertainment expense, decrease of $8,000 in marketing expense and decrease of $18,000 in miscellaneous expense, offset by $12,000 increase in shipping and freight and $9,000 increased in China local sales taxes.

Total General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses for the first three months ended January 31, 2016 increased by approximately $74,000, or 8.5% from the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily due to an increase of approximately $204,000 stock-based employment compensation, an increase of approximately $97,000 in headquarter expense for professional consulting fees, an increase of approximately $49,000 in meal and entertainment expense, a $3,000 increase in property tax and other tax expenses, a $144,000 increase in office expense, and offset by a decrease of approximately $253,000 in depreciation and amortization expenses, $35,000 decrease in salaries and wages, $27,000 decrease in travel expense, $39,000 decrease in bad debt expense, and $69,000 decrease in miscellaneous expenses.

Total general and administrative expenses for the first nine months ended January 31, 2016 decreased by approximately $124,000, or 5.3% from the comparable period in 2015. The decrease was primarily due to increase of approximately $732,000 decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses, $31,000 decrease in salaries and wages, and $46,000 decrease in miscellaneous expenses, offset by $204,000 increase in stock-based employment compensation, $197,000 increase in headquarter expenses for professional consulting fees, $98,000 increase in accounting and auditing fees, $35,000 increase in property tax and other tax expenses, $95,000 increase in office expense and $56,000 increase in meal and entertainment expenses. The general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue was 18.8% in the first nine months ended January 31, 2016 as compared to 18.7% in the same period in 2015.

Loss on Disposition of Property and Equipment

We periodically evaluate our property, plant and equipment to determine whether any negative change in regulatory and environmental policies, technical specifications or customer acceptance of our products impair the usefulness and fair market value of these assets. In connection with this evaluation in the first nine months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, we determined that some of our equipment needed to be replaced or otherwise removed from service. As a result, we disposed of these assets and recorded a loss on disposal approximately of $407,000 and $429,000, as compared to $2,000 and $2,000 in the first three and nine months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Research and Development Expense

For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2016, our research and development expenses amounted to approximately $572,000 and $614,000, as compared to $114,000 and $119,827 for the same period in 2015, respectively. The increase of $457,000 and $495,000 was primarily due to the fact that in the three and nine months ended January 31, 2016, respectively, we recorded the transfer of inventory to Shandong Chinese Medicine University for the collaboration with Professor Jingzhen Tian on the project named "development and research on new kinds of stevia for pharmaceutical use", this project is related to the grant we received during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 of approximately $1,059,867 (RMB7,000,000) and $166,551 (RMB1,100,000) during the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

Other Expenses

For the three months ended January 31, 2016, other expenses, net of income, amounted to approximately $86,000, an increase of $110,000 as compared to the other income of $25,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in other expense of approximately $97,000 and offset by a decrease in interest expense in the amount of approximately $31,000, a decrease in grant income of $70,000 and a decrease interest expense - related party in the amount of approximately $26,000.

For the nine months ended January 31, 2016, other expenses, net of income, amounted to approximately $62,000, an increase of $136,000 as compared to the other income of $74,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in other expenses of approximately $114,000 and an increase in interest expense in the amount of approximately $24,000, offset by an increase in grant income of $42,000 and a decrease interest expense - related party in the amount of approximately $44,000.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was approximately $70 and $5,000 for the first three and nine months ended January 31, 2016, respectively, as compared to $3,000 and $60,000 in the same periods in 2015. The decrease in income tax expense was attributable to the decrease in taxable income in PRC generated by our Stevioside operating entities.
 
Net Loss

Net loss in the three months ended January 31, 2016 was approximately $2.1 million, compared to $324,000 in the three months ended January 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to decrease in revenues, hence decrease in gross profit while higher operating expenses mainly from general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses.

Net loss in the nine months ended January 31, 2016was approximately $2.7 million, compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2015. The increase in net loss was primarily due to decrease in revenue while higher other expenses as discussed above.
 
Foreign currency translation adjustment
 
The functional currency of our subsidiaries and variable interest entities operating in the PRC is the Chinese Yuan or Renminbi ("RMB"). The financial statements of our subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for the period) for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a non-cash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation loss of $716,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2016, as compared to a foreign currency translation loss of $72,000 for the same period in 2015. We reported a foreign currency translation loss of $1,422,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2016, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $26,000 for the same in 2015. This non-cash gain had the effect of decreasing our reported comprehensive loss.
 
Comprehensive loss
 
As a result of our foreign currency translation loss, we had higher comprehensive loss for the first three months ended January 31, 2016 of $2.8 million, compared to $397,000 for the same in 2015. We had comprehensive loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2016 of $4.2 million, compared to $1.1 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2015.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash to meet its operational cash requirements.  

At January 31, 2016, we had working capital of $3.9 million, including cash of $225,726, as compared to working capital of $3.6 million and cash of $241,967 at April 30, 2015. The approximate $16,000 decrease in our cash at January 31, 2016 from April 30, 2015 is primarily attributable to net cash used in purchase of property and equipment to improve our productivity with the increased inventor purchase during the nine months ended January 31, 2016. We believe that our 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.       

Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, including accounts receivable from related parties, decreased by approximately $1,263,000 during the first nine months ended January 31, 2016. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable - related party of $1.8 million during the first nine months ended January 31, 2016, offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $541,000 during the nine months ended January 31, 2016. The days for sales outstanding in accounts receivable for third party sales decreased to 13 days as of January 31, 2016, as compared to 43 days as of April 30, 2015. The days for sales outstanding in accounts receivable - related party decreased to 49 days as of January 31, 2016, as compared to 77 days as of April 30, 2015 while the revenue from the related party increased by 64%.

At January 31, 2016 inventories, net of reserve for obsolescence, totaled $5.3 million, is the same as of April 30, 2015.

Our accounts payable and accrued expenses were $6.5 million at January 31, 2016, an increase of approximately $941,000 from April 30, 2015. The increase is primarily due to in purchasing and the timing of payments for balances related to raw material purchases made in the ordinary course of business.

CASH ALLOCATION BY COUNTRIES

The functional currency of our Chinese subsidiaries is the Chinese RMB. Substantially all of our cash is held in the form of RMB at financial institutions located in the PRC, where there is no equivalent of federal deposit insurance as in the United States. As a result, cash accounts at financial institutions in the PRC are not insured. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts as of January 31, 2016.

In 1996, the Chinese government introduced regulations which relaxed restrictions on the conversion of the RMB; however restrictions still remain, including but not limited to restrictions on foreign invested entities. Foreign invested entities may only buy, sell or remit foreign currencies after providing valid commercial documents at only those banks authorized to conduct foreign exchanges. Furthermore, the conversion of RMB for capital account items, including direct investments and loans, is subject to PRC government approval. Chinese entities are required to establish and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items. We cannot be certain Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose more stringent restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB, especially with respect to foreign exchange transactions. Accordingly, cash on deposit in banks in the PRC is not readily deployable by us for purposes outside of the PRC. Our cash position by geographic area is as follows:

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 as 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 U.S. GAAP.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company's critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company's financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, we have identified the critical accounting policies and judgments addressed below. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.
