NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2012

NOTE 1 – 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 (“US GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by rules and regulations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Yew Bio-Pharm Group, Inc. (individually “YBP” and collectively with its subsidiaries and operating variable interest entity, the “Company”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10/A filed with the SEC.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position as of September 30, 2012, and the results of operations and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, have been made.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company continually evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, recovery of long-lived assets, income taxes, and the valuation of equity transactions. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it 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. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Details of the Company’s subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIE”) are as follows:

Name	Domicile and date of incorporation	Registered capital		Effective ownership	Principal activities
Heilongjiang Jinshangjing Bio-Technology Development Co., Limited (“JSJ”)	PRC October 29, 2009	USD $	100,000	100%	Holding company

Yew Bio-Pharm Holdings Limited (“Yew Bio-Pharm (HK)”)	Hong Kong November 29, 2010	HK$	10,000	100%	Holding company of JSJ

Harbin Yew Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“HDS”)	PRC August 22, 1996	RMB	45,000,000	Contractual arrangements	Processing and selling yew raw materials used in the manufacture of TCM; growing and selling yew tree seedlings and mature trees, including potted miniature yew trees; and manufacturing and selling furniture and handicrafts made of yew tree timber

NOTE 2 – PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of YBP, its subsidiaries and operating VIE, in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

YBP’s subsidiary JSJ entered into a series of contractual arrangements (the “Contractual Arrangements”) with HDS and/or Zhiguo Wang (“Mr. Wang”), his wife Guifang Qi (“Madame Qi”), Xingming Han (Mr. Han) (collectively, the “HDS Shareholders”) as described below:

●

Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement. Pursuant to the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement between JSJ and HDS (the “Business Cooperation Agreement”), JSJ has the exclusive right to provide to HDS general business operation services, including advice and strategic planning, as well as consulting services related to technology, research and development, human resources, marketing and other services deemed necessary (collectively, the “Services”). Under the Business Cooperation Agreement, JSJ has exclusive and proprietary rights and interests in all rights, ownership, interests and intellectual properties arising out of or created during the performance of the Business Cooperation Agreement, including but not limited to copyrights, patents, patent applications, software and trade secrets. HDS shall pay to JSJ a monthly consulting service fee (the “Service Fee”) in RMB that is equal to 100% of the monthly net income of HDS. Upon the prior written consent by JSJ, the rate of Service Fee may be adjusted pursuant to the operational needs of HDS. Within 30 days after the end of each month, HDS shall (a) deliver to JSJ the management accounts and operating statistics of HDS for such month, including the net income of HDS during such month (the “Monthly Net Income”), and (b) pay 80% of such Monthly Net Income to JSJ (each such payment, a “Monthly Payment”). Within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year, HDS shall (a) deliver to JSJ financial statements of HDS for such fiscal year, which shall be audited and certified by an independent certified public accountant approved by JSJ, and (b) pay an amount to JSJ equal to the shortfall, if any, of the aggregate net income of HDS for such fiscal year, as shown in such audited financial statements, as compared to the aggregate amount of the Monthly Payments paid by HDS to JSJ in such fiscal year. HDS also granted an irrevocable and exclusive option to JSJ to purchase any and all of the assets of HDS, to the extent permitted under PRC law, at the lowest price permitted by PRC law. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Business Cooperation Agreement or other agreements separately executed between JSJ and HDS, the Business Cooperation Agreement is for a term of ten years and expires on November 5, 2020; however, the term of the Business Cooperation Agreement may be extended if confirmed in writing by JSJ prior to the expiration of the term thereof. The period of the extended term shall be determined exclusively by JSJ and HDS shall accept such extended term unconditionally. Unless JSJ commits gross negligence, or a fraudulent act, against HDS, HDS shall not terminate the Business Cooperation Agreement prior to the expiration of the term, including any extended term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, JSJ shall have the right to terminate the Business Cooperation Agreement at any time upon giving 30 days’ prior written notice to HDS.

●

Exclusive Option Agreement. Under an Exclusive Option Agreement among JSJ, HDS and each HDS Shareholder (individually, an “Option Agreement”), the terms of which are substantively identical to each other, each HDS Shareholder has granted JSJ or its designee the irrevocable and exclusive right to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or any part of the HDS Shareholder’s equity interests in HDS (the “Equity Interest Purchase Option”) for RMB 10. If an appraisal is required by PRC laws at the time when and if JSJ exercises the Equity Interest Purchase Option, the parties shall negotiate in good faith and, based upon the appraisal, make a necessary adjustment to the purchase price so that it complies with any and all then applicable PRC laws. Without the consent of JSJ, the HDS Shareholders shall not sell, transfer, mortgage or dispose of their respective shares of HDS stock. Additionally, without the prior consent of JSJ, the HDS Shareholders shall not in any manner supplement, change or amend the articles of association and bylaws of HDS, increase or decrease its registered capital, change the structure of its registered capital in any other manner, or engage in any transactions that could materially affect HDS’ assets, liabilities, rights or operations, including, without limitation, the incurrence or assumption of any indebtedness except incurred in the ordinary course of business, execute any major contract over RMB 500,000, sell or purchase any assets or rights, incur of any encumbrance on any of its assets or intellectual property rights in favor of a third party or transfer of any agreements relating to its business operation to any third party. The term of each Option Agreement is ten years commencing on November 5, 2020 and may be extended at the sole election of JSJ.

●		Equity Interest Pledge Agreement. In order to guarantee HDS’s performance of its obligations under the Business Cooperation Agreement, each HDS Shareholder, JSJ and HDS entered into an Equity Interest Pledge Agreement (individually, a “Pledge Agreement”), the terms of which are substantially similar to each other. Pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, each HDS Shareholder pledged all of his or her equity interest in HDS to JSJ. If HDS or the HDS Shareholders breach their respective contractual obligations and such breach is not remedied to the satisfaction of JSJ within 20 days after the giving of notice of breach, JSJ, as pledgee, will be entitled to exercise certain rights, including the right to foreclose upon and sell the pledged equity interests. During the term of the Pledge Agreement, the HDS Shareholder shall not transfer his or her equity interest in HDS or place or otherwise permit any other security interest of other encumbrance to be placed on such equity interest. Upon the full payment of the Service Fee under the Business Cooperation Agreement and upon the termination of HDS’s obligations thereunder, the Pledge Agreement shall be terminated.
●		Power of Attorney. Under the Power of Attorney executed by each HDS Shareholder (each, a “Power of Attorney”), the terms of which are substantially similar to each other, JSJ has been granted an exclusive, irrevocable power of attorney to take actions in the place and stead of the HDS Shareholders, to act on behalf of the HDS Shareholder as his or her exclusive agent and attorney with respect to all matters concerning the HDS Shareholder’s equity interests in HDS, including without limitation, the right to: 1) attend shareholders’ meetings of HDS; 2) exercise all the HDS Shareholders’ rights, including voting rights under PRC laws and HDS’s Articles of Association, including but not limited to the sale or transfer or pledge or disposition of the HDS Shareholder’s equity interests in HDS in whole or in part; and 3) designate and appoint on behalf of the HDS Shareholders the legal representative, executive director, supervisor, manager and other senior management of HDS.

To the extent that the Contractual Arrangements are enforceable under PRC law, as from time to time interpreted by relevant state agencies, they constitute the valid and binding obligations of each of the parties to each such agreement.

The Company believes that HDS is considered a VIE under ASC 810 “Consolidation”, because the equity investors in HDS no longer have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, and the Company, through JSJ, is the primary beneficiary of HDS and controls HDS’s operations. Accordingly, HDS has been consolidated as a deemed subsidiary into YBP as a reporting company under ASC 810.

As required by ASC 810-10, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of HDS which is identified as a VIE of the Company. A quality assessment begins with an understanding of the nature of the risks in the entity as well as the nature of the entity’s activities including terms of the contracts entered into by the entity, ownership interests issued by the entity and the parties involved in the design of the entity. The Company’s assessment on the involvement with HDS reveals that the Company has the absolute power to direct the most significant activities that impact the economic performance of HDS. JSJ is obligated to absorb a majority of the risk of loss from HDS activities and entitles JSJ to receive a majority of HDS’s expected residual returns. In addition, HDS’s shareholders have pledged their equity interest in HDS to JSJ, irrevocably granted JSJ an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC Law, all or part of the equity interests in HDS and agreed to entrust all the rights to exercise their voting power to the person(s) appointed by JSJ. Under the accounting guidance, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of HDS and the results of HDS are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, as a VIE, HDS’s sales are included in the Company’s total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with the Company’s and the Company’s net income includes all of HDS’s net income. The Company does not have any non-controlling interest and, accordingly, did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income attributable to the Company. Because of the Contractual Arrangements, YBP has a pecuniary interest in HDS that requires consolidation of HDS’s financial statements with those of the Company.

Additionally, pursuant to ASC 805, as YBP and HDS are under the common control of the HDS Shareholders, the Second Restructure was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. As a result, the Company’s historical amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements give retrospective effect to the Second Restructure, whereby the assets and liabilities of the Company are reflected at the historical carrying values and their operations are presented as if they were consolidated for all periods presented, with the results of the Company being consolidated from the date of the Second Transfer Agreement. The accounts of HDS are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company agreed to waive all management fees to be payable by HDS and the Company expects to waive such management fees in the near future due to a need of working capital in HDS to expand HDS’s operations.

The Company is principally engaged in (1) processing and selling yew raw materials used in the manufacture of TCM; (2) growing and selling yew tree seedlings and mature trees, including potted miniature yew trees; and (3) manufacturing and selling furniture and handicrafts made of yew tree timber. The Company is located in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, China.

YBP has no direct or indirect legal or equity ownership interest in HDS. However, through the Contractual Arrangements, the stockholders of HDS have assigned all their rights as stockholders, including voting rights and disposition rights of their equity interests in HDS to JSJ, our indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary. YBP is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of HDS and the financial statements of HDS are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the carrying amount and classification of the assets and liabilities in the Company’s balance sheets that relate to the Company’s variable interest in the VIE is as follows:

Total liabilities of VIE	$	2,996,843	$	3,839,653

The assets and liabilities in the table above are held in HDS. The creditors of HDS have legal recourse only to the assets of HDS and do not have such recourse to the Company. In addition, HDS’ assets are generally restricted only to pay such liabilities. Thus, the Company’s maximum legal exposure to loss related to VIE is significantly less than the carrying value of the HDS assets due to outstanding intercompany liabilities. Restricted net assets of the VIE shall mean that amount of our proportionate share of net assets of HDS (after intercompany eliminations) which as of the end of the most recent fiscal year may not be transferred to the parent company by the VIE in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends without the consent of a third party (e.g. lender, regulatory agency, foreign government).

NOTE 3 – RESTATEMENTS

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been restated as of December 31, 2011 to reflect the proper accounting treatment for slow-moving inventory and potential reserves for slow-moving inventory. Based on analysis of inventory, the Company determined that a reclassification of certain inventory should be made from current assets to long-term assets. The Company originally recorded all inventory in current assets. However, based on analysis of inventory movement and analysis of its operating cycle of one year, it was subsequently determined that any inventory in excess of our current operating cycle of one year, based on historical and anticipated levels of sales, should be classified as long-term on its consolidated balance sheets. The classification of long-term inventory requires the Company to estimate the portion of inventory that can be realized over the next 12 months.

Accordingly, the Company restated its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011. The Company did not restate its consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income or consolidated statement of cash flows for the period ended September 30, 2011. The respective restatement adjustments are non-cash in nature. These adjustments resulted in a decrease in our total current assets of $7,508,030 and an increase in long-term assets of $7,508,030 as of December 31, 2011, respectively and summarized as follows:

	December 31, 2011 (As Previously Reported)		Adjustments to Restate			December 31, 2011 (As Restated)

NOTE 6 – LAND AND YEW FOREST USE RIGHTS

There is no private ownership of land in PRC. Land is owned by the government and the government grants land use rights for specified terms. The following summarizes land use rights acquired by the Company.

Yew trees on land containing yew tree forests will be used to supply raw materials such as branches and leaves that will be used by the Company’s customers for production of TCM. The Company amortizes these land and yew forest use rights over the term of the respective land use right. The lease agreements do not have any renewal option and the Company has no further obligations to the lessor. The Company records the amortization of these land and yew forest use rights as part of its cost of revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, amortization expense amounted to $87,050 and $88,830, respectively.

NOTE 8 – TAXES

(a) Federal Income Tax and Enterprise Income Taxes

The Company is incorporated in the State of Nevada and is subject to the United States federal income tax at a tax rate of 34%. No provision for income taxes in the U.S. has been made as the Company had no U.S. taxable income as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The Company’s subsidiary and VIE, JSJ and HDS, respectively, being incorporated in the PRC, are subject to PRC’s Enterprise Income Tax. Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Laws, Enterprise Income Taxes (“EIT”) is generally imposed at 25%. However, JSJ and HDS has been named as a leading enterprise in the agricultural area and awarded with a tax exemption for the years up to December 31, 2058.

The table below summarizes the difference between the U.S. statutory federal tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012			2011
U.S. federal income tax rate		34	%		34	%
Foreign income not recognized in the U.S.		(34	)%		(34	)%
PRC enterprise income tax		25	%		25	%
Tax exemption		(25	)%		(25	)%
Total provision for income tax		-			-

Income before income tax expenses of $879,659 and $712,305 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $3,359,870 and $2,838,337 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, was attributed to subsidiaries with operations in China. No income tax expense related to China income incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

The combined effects of the income tax expense exemptions and tax reductions available to the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012			2011			2012			2011
Tax exemption effect	$	255,902		$	188,982		$	909,548		$	737,027
Basic net income per share effect	$	(0.01	)	$	(0.00	)	$	(0.02	)	$	(0.02	)
Diluted net income per share effect	$	(0.01	)	$	(0.00	)	$	(0.02	)	$	(0.01	)

The Company has incurred United States net operating loss for income tax purposes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. The net operating loss carry forwards for United States income tax purposes amounted to $830,018 and $564,438 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income. These carry forwards will expire, if not utilized, through 2032. Management believes that the realization of the benefits arising from this loss appear to be uncertain due to the Company’s limited operating history and continuing losses for United States income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The valuation allowance at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was approximately $282,206 and $191,909, respectively. The net change in the valuation allowance was an increase of $47,527 and $13,566 during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $90,297 and $33,224 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and management will review this valuation allowance periodically and make adjustments as warranted.

For U.S. tax purposes, the Company has cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiary and VIE of approximately $15.3 million and $12.0 million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which are included in consolidated retained earnings and will continue to be indefinitely reinvested in international operations. Accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. deferred taxes related to future repatriation of these earnings, nor is it practicable to estimate the amount of income taxes that would have to be provided if we concluded that such earnings will be remitted to the U.S. in the future.

There will be no deferred income tax assets or liabilities calculation in the Federal Income Tax because the US corporation taxable loss and deferred taxable loss was the same and the use of any net operating loss carry forwards appears to be uncertain, There will be no deferred income tax assets or liabilities calculation in the EIT because the Company awarded EIT exempted status under agricultural area.

The Company did not have any interest and penalty provided or recognized in the income statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 or balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The Company did not have uncertainty tax positions or events leading to uncertainty tax position within the next 12 months. The Company’s 2009, 2010 and 2011 U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return are subject to U.S. Internal Revenue Service examination. The Company’s 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 China corporate income tax returns are subject to China State Administration of Taxation examination.

(b) Value Added Taxes

The applicable VAT tax rate is 13% for agricultural products and 17% for handicrafts sold in the PRC. In accordance with VAT regulations in the PRC, the Company is exempt from paying VAT on its yew seedling and trees sales as an agricultural corps cultivating company up to December 31, 2016. VAT payable in the PRC is charged on an aggregated basis at the applicable rate on the full price collected for the goods sold or taxable services provided and less any deductible VAT already paid by the taxpayer on purchases of goods in the same financial year.

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

At December 31, 2011, the Company reflected a $950,000 refundable common stock subscription liability related to 9,500,000 of the shares in a private offering of the Company’s common stock (the “2009 Summer Offering”) on the accompanying balance sheet. The 9,500,000 shares of YBP Common Stock were the subject of a rescission offering (the “Rescission Offering”) to the 62 subscribers in the 2009 Summer Offering, all of whom are residents of the PRC. In the Rescission Offering, subscribers in the 2009 Summer Offering could either 1) confirm their subscriptions of shares of YBP Common Stock or 2) elect to rescind their subscriptions of shares of YBP Common Stock and receive a refund of their respective subscription amounts, together with interest. Pursuant to the Rescission Offering, which was conducted in March 2012, all the subscribers in the 2009 Summer Offering confirmed their subscriptions for an aggregate 9,500,000 shares of YBP Common Stock.

Pursuant to an agreement dated November 1, 2010 between YBP and a consultant, a resident of the U.S., YBP agreed to pay $20,000 cash and 500,000 Shares to the consultant as compensation for consulting services rendered by him to the Company. The shares were valued at $0.10 per share or $50,000 in total and the Company recorded $50,000 of compensation expense related to those Shares for the year ended December 31, 2010. The shares were recorded as outstanding as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

NOTE 10 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

ASC 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS 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 then shared in the earnings of the entity.

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.

The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income per share for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

	Three Months Ended September 30,

Under the Technology Agreement, Kairun provides the Company with testing and technologies regarding utilization of yew trees to extract taxol and develop higher concentration of taxol in the yew trees the Company grow and cultivate. For these services, the Company agreed to pay Kairun RMB 200,000 after the technologies developed by Kairun are tested and approved by the Company. The Company will retain all intellectual property rights in connection with the technologies developed by Kairun. Kairun may not provide similar services to any other party without the Company’s prior written consent. In February 2012, we entered into a supplemental agreement with Kairun, extending the term of the Technology Agreement indefinitely until project results specified in the original Technology Agreement have been achieved. Kairun is owned directly and indirectly primarily by Mr. Wang and Madame Qi. As of September 30, 2012, Kairun has not yet completed the services provided for in the Technology Agreement and, therefore, no payment was made to Kairun.

NOTE 13 – STATUTORY RESERVES

The Company is required to make appropriations to reserve funds, comprising the statutory surplus reserve and discretionary surplus reserve, based on after-tax net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the PRC (“PRC GAAP”). Appropriation to the statutory surplus reserve is required to be at least 10% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP until the reserve is equal to 50% of the entities’ registered capital. Appropriations to the discretionary surplus reserve are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

The statutory surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholding or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered capital. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company appropriated to the statutory surplus reserve in the amount of $102,361 and $75,593, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company appropriated to the statutory surplus reserve in the amount of $363,819 and $294,811, respectively. The accumulated balance of the statutory reserve of the Company as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $2,049,906 and $1,686,087, respectively.

NOTE 14 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

ASC 280 requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company operated in three reportable business segments: (1) the TCM raw materials segment, consisting of the production and sale of yew raw materials used in the manufacture of TCM; (2) the yew tree segment, consisting of the growth and sale of yew tree seedlings and mature trees, including potted miniature yew trees; and (3) the handicrafts segment, consisting of the manufacture and sale of handicrafts and furniture made of yew timber. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products. They are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations. All of the Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC.

Information with respect to these reportable business segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

The Company does not allocate any selling, general and administrative expenses to its reportable segments because these activities are managed at a corporate level and not allocable to any segment. Accordingly, depreciation, interest expense or net income by segment is not reported. The Company’s operations are located in the PRC. All revenues are derived from customers in the PRC. All of the Company’s operating assets are located in the PRC.

Seedling Purchase and Sale Long-Term Cooperation Agreement

On November 25, 2010, HDS entered into a Seedling Purchase and Sale Long-Term Cooperation Agreement (the “Seedling Agreement”) with Wuchang City Xinlin Foresty Co., Ltd (“Xinlin”), pursuant to which HDS will sell yew seedlings to Xinlin at a price equal to 90% of HDS’s publicly-published wholesale prices. Xinlin has agreed to purchase from the Company 10,000 yew seedlings annually. The Company did not make sales under the Seedling Agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company made sales of $0 and $311,158, respectively, under the Seedling Agreement.

Land Use Rights and Yew Forest Purchase

On March 4, 2010, the Company entered into Land Use Right and Seedling Transfer Agreement with Heilongjiang Pingshan Yew Comprehensive Development Co., Ltd., pursuant to which the Company acquired land use rights with an area of 15,865 mu and all yew trees and seedlings situated on such land, for an aggregate cost of RMB 80,152,900 (approximately $12,500,000). The purchase price was divided into three installments, each installment representing a parcel of land and the Company paid final installment in full during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, there was no unpaid amount related to the Land Use Right and Seedling Transfer Agreement.

Land Use Right

On July 18, 2012, the Company entered into the Fuye Field Agreement with an individual in the PRC. Pursuant to the Fuye Field Agreement, HDS leases 117.5 mu (approximately 19.6 acres) located at Fuye Field, Beizhao Village, Hongxing Town, A’cheng District in Helongjiang Province, PRC. The term of the Fuye Field Agreement is 16 years, through March 2028. During the term of the Fuye Field Agreement, HDS has the right to develop the property for the production of yew trees. In addition, HDS acquired a building and more than 80,000 trees – which are not yew trees – located on the property.

Payments to be made by the Company under the Fuye Field Agreement total RMB 15,002,300, payable as follows:

·	RMB 6,300,000 upon receipt by HDS of all related supporting documents and materials on the ownership and land use right of the property;

·	RMB 3,700,000 on December 25, 2012;

·	RMB 5,002,300 on or before December 25, 2013.

The Company paid RMB 9,330,000 (approximately $1.5 million) as of September 30, 2012 and the unpaid amount related to the Fuye Field Agreement was RMB 5,672,300 (approximately $0.9 million) as of September 30, 2012 which was included in accounts payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company presently expects to be able to make the additional payments required by the Fuye Field Agreement from cash-on-hand and net cash flow from operations.

Options

Generally, the founders of a corporation in the United States receive shares of stock in consideration of the tangible and intangible assets contributed by them to the enterprise. Since the consideration for those shares is the transfer of assets, including intellectual property, and business know-how, sometimes referred to as “sweat equity”, no payment for such shares occurs.

However, unfamiliar with the usual way that founders acquire equity interests in corporations in the United States, the HDS Shareholders actually purchased their HDS Shareholders’ Stock between March 2008 and September 2009, for cash, in a series of four different offerings of YBP Common Stock during that period, at prices ranging between $0.02 and $0.10 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $890,501.

As a result of the Contractual Arrangements of the Second Restructure, in which all of the profits of HDS will be paid under the terms of the Business Cooperation Agreement to JSJ, which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of YBP, combined with the actual purchase by the HDS Shareholders of the HDS Shareholders’ Stock for cash, it could be viewed that Mr. Wang, Madame Qi and Mr. Han have, in effect, paid for their HDS Shareholders’ Stock twice.

Accordingly, it is the intention of the Company to rectify this situation by issuing a stock purchase option (a “Founder’s Option”) to each of Mr. Wang, Madame Qi and Mr. Han in an amount equal to the number of shares of YBP Common Stock that each of them currently owns. The terms of each Founder’s Option will be identical to each other except for the name of the optionee and the number of shares of YBP Common Stock subject to each such Founder’s Option. Those terms include:

●

The issuance of the Founder’s Option will be subject to pre-issuance approval by our shareholders as described below;

●

Each Founder’s Option will be fully vested upon issuance;

●

Each Founder’s Option may be exercised only upon the approval by the YBP shareholders of an amendment to YBP’s Articles of Incorporation increasing the number of shares of authorized Common Stock and the filing of an amendment of the Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada;

●

Each Founder’s Option will be exercisable for a period of five years;

●

Each Founder’s Option will have a per share exercise price of equal to the fair market value of a share of YBP common stock on the date of grant; and

●

Each Founder’s Option will have a cashless exercise feature, pursuant to which, at the optionee’s election, he or she may choose to deliver previously-owned shares of YBP common stock in payment of the exercise price or not pay the exercise price of the Founder’s Option and receive instead a reduced number of shares of YBP common stock reflecting the value of the number of shares of YBP common stock equal to the difference, if any, between the aggregate fair market value of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Founder’s Option and the exercise price of the Founder’s Option.

The Company has scheduled a special meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) to be held on December 13, 2012 to approve the Founders’ Options, among other proposals to be brought before the Meeting. Shareholders of record as of the record date of October 18, 2012 will be entitled to vote at the Meeting.

Assuming the options are approved by the shareholders of the Company, the options will be valued on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the expected and implied volatility from its peer companies’ volatilities as the Company itself does not have historical trading history, expected dividends yield of 0%, expected term of 5 years and risk-free interest rate on the date of grant. The value of the options granted will be immediately recognized as the Company’s compensation expenses upon the issuance of the options. The number of shares of YBP Common Stock subject to each Founder’s Option is as follows:

Name of Optionee	Number of Shares Subject to Option
Zhioguo Wang		20,103,475
Guifang Qi		2,488,737
Xingming Han		213,300

The terms of the Founder’s Option have not been determined as a result of arm’s-length negotiations. The Board of Directors of YBP, which consists of the same persons who are the HDS Shareholders and the grantees of the Founder’s Option, may seek shareholder approval or ratification of the issuance of the Founder’s Options.

To the extent that the Founder’s Options are exercised, assuming they are granted as described above, the number of shares to YBP Common Stock then held by each HDS Shareholder could as much double, which would be highly dilutive to the other existing YBP shareholders. The following chart shows the maximum effect of this dilution assuming full exercise of each Founder’s Option for cash:

Shareholder	Number Shares Presently Held		Percentage of Issued Shares Presently Held			Number Shares Held Assuming Exercise of Founder’s Options		Percentage of Issued Shares Following Exercise of Founder’s Options
Zhiguo Wang		20,103,475		40.50	%		40,206,950		55.23	%
Guifang Qi		2,488,737		4.98	%		4,977,474		6.84	%
Xingming Han		213,300		0.43	%		426,600		0.58	%
All HDS Shareholders as a group (3 persons)		22,805,512		45.61	%		45,611,024		62.65	%

All other existing shareholders		27,194,488		54.39	%		27,194,488		37.35	%
Total		50,000,000		100.00	%		72,805,512		100.00	%

NOTE 16 – JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT FOR PLANTING OF YEW TREES

On March 21, 2004, HDS entered into a Joint Venture Planting Agreement (the “Joint Venture Agreement”) with Wuchang City Forestry Bureau (the “Forest Bureau”), pursuant to which the Forest Bureau has given HDS access to 1,000,000 mu of forest land located in Wuchang City to develop yew tree forests and produce yew seedlings. Pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement, the Company is required to plant yew trees on this land from 2004 to 2034. Any profits from the planting of yew trees and other agriculture shall be distributed 80% to the Company and 20% to the Forest Bureau. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company has not generated any revenues or activity on this land.

NOTE 17 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended ASC 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”. This amendment is intended to simplify how an entity tests indefinite-lived assets other than goodwill for impairment by providing entities with an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The amended provisions will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2014, and early adoption is permitted. This amendment impacts impairment testing steps only, and therefore adoption will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-03, “Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update)” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-03. This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 is not expected to have a material impact on financial position or results of operations of the Company.

In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04 ("ASU 2012-04"). The amendments in this update cover a wide range of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on financial position or results of operations of the Company.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a major grower and seller of yew trees and manufacturers of products made from yew trees, including potted yew trees for display in homes and offices, and handicrafts. We also sell branches and leaves of yew trees for the manufacture of TCM containing taxol, which TCM has been approved in the PRC for use as a secondary treatment of certain cancers, meaning it must be administered in combination with other pharmaceutical drugs. The yew industry is highly regulated in the PRC because the Northeast yew tree is considered an endangered species.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we operated in three reportable business segments: (1) the TCM raw materials segment, consisting of the production and sale of yew raw materials used in the manufacture of TCM; (2) the yew tree segment, consisting of the growth and sale of yew tree seedlings and mature trees, including potted miniature yew trees; and (3) the handicrafts segment, consisting of the manufacture and sale of furniture and handicrafts made of yew timber. Our reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products. They are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations. All of our operations are conducted in the PRC. We are located in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, China.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, revenues from the sale of TCM raw materials represented approximately 65.1% of consolidated revenue (including 32.2% of consolidated revenues to related parties); sale of yew trees represented approximately 28.9% of consolidated revenue; and the sale of handicrafts represented approximately 6.0% of consolidated revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, revenues from the sale of TCM raw materials represented approximately 59.2% of consolidated revenue (including 12.4% of consolidated revenues to related parties); sale of yew trees represented approximately 38.3% of consolidated revenue; and the sale of handicrafts represented approximately 2.5% of consolidated revenue (including 0.1% of consolidated revenues to related parties).

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, revenues from the sale of TCM raw materials represented approximately 71.3% of consolidated revenue (including 20.9% of consolidated revenues to related parties); sale of yew trees represented approximately 26.7% of consolidated revenue; and the sale of handicrafts represented approximately 2.0% of consolidated revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, revenues from the sale of TCM raw materials represented approximately 60.2% of consolidated revenue (including 26.5% of consolidated revenues to related parties); sale of yew trees represented approximately 37.7% of consolidated revenue; and the sale of handicrafts represented approximately 2.1% of consolidated revenue.

All of our revenues were generated by HDS. Other than expenses (approximately $182,000 and $98,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively) incurred primarily related to meeting its reporting requirements in the U.S., YBP has no other significant business operations. At September 30, 2012, YBP has approximately $23,000 in cash and holds the 100% equity interests in its subsidiaries Yew HK and JSJ. Yew HK itself has no business operations or assets other than holding of equity interests in JSJ. JSJ has no business operations and assets with a book value of approximately $54,000, including approximately $37,000 in cash at September 30, 2012. JSJ also holds the VIE interests in HDS through the contractual arrangements (the “Contractual Arrangements”) described in Note 1 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In the event we are unable to enforce the Contractual Agreements, we may not be able to exert effective control over HDS, and our ability to conduct our business may be materially and adversely affected. If the applicable PRC authorities invalidate our Contractual Agreements for violation of PRC laws, rules and regulations, in such an event, we would lose control of the VIE resulting in its deconsolidation in financial reporting and severe loss in our marked valuation.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

Our 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. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, recovery of long-lived assets, income taxes, and the valuation of equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we 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. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Variable interest entities

Pursuant to ASC 810 and related subtopics related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, we are required to include in our consolidated financial statements the financial statements of VIEs. The accounting standards require a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns. VIEs are those entities in which we, through contractual arrangements, bear the risk of, and enjoy the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity, and therefore we are the primary beneficiary of the entity. HDS is considered a VIE, and we are the primary beneficiary. We entered into agreements with the HDS pursuant to which we shall receive 100% of HDS’s net income. In accordance with these agreements, HDS shall pay consulting fees equal to 100% of its net income to our wholly-owned subsidiary, JSJ and JSJ shall supply the technology and administrative services needed to service the HDS.

The accounts of HDS are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements. As VIEs, HDS’ sales are included in our total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with ours, and our net income includes all of HDS’ net income, and their assets and liabilities are included in our consolidated balance sheets. The VIEs do not have any non-controlling interest and, accordingly, we did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income attributable to us. Because of the contractual arrangements, we have pecuniary interest in HDS that require consolidation of HDS’ financial statements with our financial statements.

As required by ASC 810-10, we perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of HDS which is identified as a VIE of the Company. A quality assessment begins with an understanding of the nature of the risks in the entity as well as the nature of the entity’s activities including terms of the contracts entered into by the entity, ownership interests issued by the entity and the parties involved in the design of the entity. The significant terms of the agreements between us and HDS are discussed above in the “Corporate Structure and Recapitalization - Second Restructure” section. Our assessment on the involvement with HDS reveals that we have the absolute power to direct the most significant activities that impact the economic performance of HDS. JSJ, our wholly own subsidiary, is obligated to absorb a majority of the risk of loss from HDS activities and entitles JSJ to receive a majority of HDS’s expected residual returns. In addition, HDS’s shareholders have pledged their equity interest in HDS to JSJ, irrevocably granted JSJ an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC Law, all or part of the equity interests in HDS and agreed to entrust all the rights to exercise their voting power to the person(s) appointed by JSJ. Under the accounting guidance, we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of HDS and the results of HDS are consolidated in our consolidated financial statements for financial reporting purposes.

Accordingly, as a VIE, HDS’s sales are included in our total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with our income from operations and our net income includes all of HDS’s net income. All the equity (net assets) and profits (losses) of HDS are attributed to us. Therefore, no non-controlling interest in HDS is presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As we do not have any non-controlling interest and, accordingly, did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income attributable to us. Because of the Contractual Arrangements, YBP has a pecuniary interest in HDS that requires consolidation of HDS’s financial statements with those of ours.

Additionally, pursuant to ASC 805, as YBP and HDS are under the common control of the HDS Shareholders, the Second Restructure was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. As a result, our historical amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements give retrospective effect to the Second Restructure, whereby our assets and liabilities are reflected at the historical carrying values and their operations are presented as if they were consolidated for all periods presented, with our results of operations being consolidated from the date of the Second Transfer Agreement. The accounts of HDS are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, a customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. The Company recognized the probability of the collection for each customer and believes the amount of the balance as of September 30, 2012 could be collected and accordingly, the Company did not record any allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories

Inventories consisted of raw materials, work-in-progress, finished goods-handicrafts, yew seedlings and other trees (consisting of larix, spruce and poplar trees). The Company classifies its inventories based on its historical and anticipated levels of sales; any inventory in excess of its normal operating cycle of one year is classified as long-term on its consolidated balance sheets. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value utilizing the weighted average method. Raw materials primarily include yew timber used in the production of products such as handicrafts, furniture and other products containing yew timber. Finished goods-handicraft and yew seedlings include direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead.

We estimate the amount of the excess inventories by comparing inventory on hand with the estimated sales that can be sold within our normal operating cycle of one year. Any inventory in excess of our current requirements based on historical and anticipated levels of sales is classified as long-term on our consolidated balance sheets. Our classification of long-term inventory requires us to estimate the portion of inventory that can be realized over the next 12 months.

To estimate the amount of slow-moving or obsolete inventories, we analyze movement of our products, monitor competing products and technologies and evaluate acceptance of our products. Periodically, we will identify inventories that cannot be sold at all or can only be sold at deeply discounted prices. An allowance will be established if 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, we will record reserves for the difference between the carrying cost and the estimated market value.

Our handicraft and yew furniture products are hand-made by traditional Chinese artisans and many are one-of-a-kind pieces that do not decrease in market value. Much of the furniture that we produce is reproductions of popular Ming and Qing Dynasty style antique furnishings with high collection value; therefore we believe that the market value will increase from time to time. Currently, we have an adequate supply rare Northeast yew timber on hand for approximately five years’ worth of production. Northeast yew trees are considered an endangered species with a relatively slow growing nature and are officially protected in the PRC. Because of the scarcity of Northeast yew timber supply, the cost to acquire new inventory of yew timber is rising. We had minimal manufacturing activities and minimal sales of exclusive and expensive handicraft and yew furniture in 2010 and 2011 and accordingly, the yew timber and certain handicrafts and yew furniture pieces are considered slow-moving. In 2010 and 2011, we concentrated on the sale of our TCM products and did not actively market our handicraft products. In August 2012, we began to increase our marketing efforts for our handicraft products. Historically, we have never sold our handicraft products below cost and we believe the current selling price which is higher than historical cost can be obtained. Additionally, we believe that we are one of only a few companies in the PRC to have received approval for the manufacture of items made from yew timber. In short, we may have difficulties finding reasonable cost Northeast yew timber suppliers if the handicraft finished goods sell out due to our market development activities.

In connection with the inventory of our Northeast yew timber, in February 2012, we engaged a third party independent appraiser and they prepared a report which indicated that the current fair value of such timber is greater than our historical cost. The appraiser was comprised of several forestry experts and approved by the Price Authentication Center of Heilongjiang Province of China, a provincial government institute.

Based on factors above, at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we did not provide any inventory allowance and reserve.

In accordance with ASC 905, “Agriculture”, our costs of growing Yew seedlings are accumulated until the time of harvest and are reported at the lower of cost or market.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis (after taking into account their respective estimated residual value) over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. 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. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Building	15 years
Machinery and equipment	10 years
Office equipment	3 years
Leasehold improvement	5 years
Motor vehicles	4 years

Land and yew forest use rights

All land in the PRC is owned by the PRC government and cannot be sold to any individual or company. We have recorded the amounts paid to the PRC government to acquire long-term interests to utilize land and yew forests as land and yew forest use rights. This type of arrangement is common for the use of land in the PRC. Yew trees on land containing yew tree forests will be used to supply raw materials such as branches, leaves and fruit to us that will be used to manufacture our products. We amortize these land and yew forest use rights over the term of the respective land and yew forest use right, which ranges from 45 to 50 years. The lease agreements do not have any renewal option and we have no further obligations to the lessor. We record the amortization of these land and forest use rights as part of its cost of revenues.

Revenue recognition

We generate our revenue from sales of yew seedling products, sales of yew raw materials for medical application, and sales of yew craft products. Pursuant to the guidance of ASC 605 and ASC 360, we recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured, and no significant obligations remain.

Income taxes

We are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC, Hong Kong and the United States. We account for income tax using the liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence; it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

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 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 our liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to our results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. Currently, we have no uncertain tax positions, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future.

Stock-based compensation

Stock based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of ASC 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. The Accounting Standards Codification 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.

Pursuant to ASC 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 period of services or the vesting period, whichever is applicable. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. We record 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.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended ASC 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”. This amendment is intended to simplify how an entity tests indefinite-lived assets other than goodwill for impairment by providing entities with an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The amended provisions will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2014, and early adoption is permitted. This amendment impacts impairment testing steps only, and therefore adoption will not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-03, “Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update)” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-03. This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04 ("ASU 2012-04"). The amendments in this update cover a wide range of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Currency exchange rates

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, and the functional currency of our operating subsidiaries and VIEs is the RMB. All of our sales are denominated in RMB. As a result, changes in the relative values of U.S. dollars and RMB affect our reported levels of revenues and profitability as the results of our operations are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. In particular, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could have a significant impact on our financial stability due to a mismatch among various foreign currency-denominated sales and costs. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and RMB affect our gross and net profit margins and could result in foreign exchange and operating losses.

Our exposure to foreign exchange risk primarily relates to currency gains or losses resulting from timing differences between signing of sales contracts and settling of these contracts. Furthermore, we translate monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies into RMB, the functional currency of our operating subsidiaries. Our results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in our statement of shareholders’ equity. We have not used any forward contracts, currency options or borrowings to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. We cannot predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our results of operations and may incur net foreign currency losses in the future.

Our financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency of our parent company. The functional currency of our operating subsidiaries and affiliates is RMB. To the extent we hold assets denominated in U.S. dollars, any appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar could result in a charge in our statement of operations and a reduction in the value of our U.S. dollar denominated assets. On the other hand, a decline in the value of RMB against the U.S. dollar could reduce the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of our financial results.

Recently Enacted JOBS Act

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the recently enacted Jumpstart our Businesses Act of 2012 (the “JOBS” Act). As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, among other things, we will not be required to:

●

Have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

●

Submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency”

●

Obtain shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved; and

●

Disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive’s compensation to median employee compensation.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion; (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

Until such time, however, because the JOBS Act has only recently been enacted, we cannot predict whether investors will find our stock less attractive because of the more limited disclosure requirements that we may be entitled to follow and other exemptions on which we are relying while we are an “emerging growth company”. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

Revenues

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we had total revenues of $1,373,024, as compared to $1,205,998 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $167,026 or 13.8%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we had total revenues of $4,832,790, as compared to $4,416,290 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $416,500 or 9.4%. The increase in total revenue was attributable to the increase in revenue from all three of our business segments, and is summarized as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Percentage
	2012		2011		Increase		Change
TCM raw materials	$	893,909	$	859,497	$	34,412		4.0	%
Yew trees		396,416		322,015		74,401		23.1	%
Handicrafts		82,699		24,486		58,213		237.7	%
Total	$	1,373,024	$	1,205,998	$	167,026		13.8	%

	Nine Months Ended September 30,						Percentage
	2012		2011		Increase		Change
TCM raw materials	$	2,860,552	$	2,659,234	$	201,318		7.6	%
Yew trees		1,853,504		1,665,665		187,839		11.3	%
Handicrafts		118,734		91,391		27,343		29.9	%
Total	$	4,832,790	$	4,416,290	$	416,500		9.4	%

Sales of yew raw materials to a related party customer decreased during the first two quarters of 2012 because the related party customer had adequate inventory for its needs and we focused our attention on expanding such sales to third party customers. During the third quarter of 2012, sales of yew raw materials to the related party customer increased because the related party customer required more yew raw material as its own inventory decreased, while sales of yew raw material to third party customers decreased because such customers now had adequate inventory. Over the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the overall mix of sales of our yew raw materials consisted of sales primarily to third party customers compared to the related party customer.

Cost of Revenues

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, cost of revenues amounted to $230,937, as compared to $261,130 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $30,193 or 11.6%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, cost of revenues amounted to $836,709 as compared to $988,592 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $151,883 or 15.4%. Our cost of revenues principally consists of the cost of raw materials such as wood plates and yews, amortization of land and yew forest use rights, labor, utilities, manufacturing costs, manufacturing related depreciation, machinery maintenance costs, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, and other fixed costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, cost of revenues accounted for 16.8% of total revenues compared to 21.7% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, cost of revenues accounted for 17.3% of total revenues compared to 22.4% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Cost of revenues by product categories were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Increase			Percentage
	2012		2011		(Decrease)			Change
TCM raw materials	$	158,354	$	161,226	$	(2,872	)		( 1.8	)%
Yew trees		21,395		88,380		(66,985	)		(75.8	)%
Handicrafts		51,188		11,524		39,664			344.2	%
Total	$	230,937	$	261,130	$	(30,193	)		(11.6	)%

	Nine Months Ended September 30,				Increase			Percentage
	2012		2011		(Decrease)			Change
TCM raw materials	$	446,436	$	640,843	$	(194,407	)		(30.3	)%
Yew trees		320,410		287,681		32,729			11.4	%
Handicrafts		69,863		60,068		9,795			16.3	%
Total	$	836,709	$	988,592	$	(151,883	)		15.4	%

The decrease in our cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily a result of decreases in costs of revenue in our TCM raw materials and yew trees segments, partially offset by an increase in cost of revenue in our handicrafts segment.

The decrease in our cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily a result of decreases in costs of revenue in our TCM raw materials, partially offset by an increase in cost of revenue in our yew trees and handicrafts segments.

Gross Profit

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, gross profit was $1,142,087 as compared to $944,868 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, representing gross margins of 83.2% and 78.3%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, gross profit was $3,996,081 as compared to $3,427,698 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing gross margins of 82.7% and 77.6%, respectively. Gross profit margins by product categories were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Increase
	2012			2011			(Decrease)
TCM raw materials		82.3	%		81.2	%		1.1	%
Yew trees		94.6	%		72.6	%		22.0	%
Handicrafts		38.1	%		52.9	%		(14.8	)%
Total		83.2	%		78.3	%		4.9	%

	Nine Months Ended September 30,						Increase
	2012			2011			(Decrease)
TCM raw materials		84.4	%		75.9	%		8.5	%
Yew trees		82.7	%		82.7	%		0.0	%
Handicrafts		41.2	%		34.3	%		6.9	%
Total		82.7	%		77.6	%		5.1	%

The overall increase in our gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to the increase in the TCM raw materials and yew trees segments, partially offset by a decrease in our handicrafts segment. The overall increase in our gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to the increase in the TCM raw materials and handicrafts segments.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the increase in our gross margin percentage related to the sale of TCM raw materials was primarily attributable to the operational efficiency improvements as we have had longer operation experience in the TCM raw materials segment as compared to the same periods in 2011.

The increase in our gross margin percentage related to the sale of yew trees for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily attributable to the fact that the average unit selling price for our yew trees was higher, which contributed to the higher gross profit margin in 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the gross margin percentage related to the sale of yew trees remained consistent as compared to 2011.

The decrease in our gross margin percentage related to the sale of handicrafts for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was because we sold more high value handicrafts as compared to the same period in 2011. High value handicrafts products generally have lower profit margins compared to low value handicraft products. The increase in our gross margin percentage related to the sale of handicrafts for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same periods in 2011 was mainly because, overall, we sold fewer high value handicrafts as a percentage of our handicrafts revenue in 2012.

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses consisted of the following:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Salary and related benefit	$	4,016	$	3,129	$	11,718	$	8,714
Advertising		-		61		-		9,482
Shipping and handling		303		3,568		696		10,317

Total	$	6,643	$	8,455	$	17,880	$	42,640

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, selling expenses were $6,643, as compared to $8,455 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $1,812 or 21.4%. The decrease in our selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to the decreases in advertising and shipping and handling expenses, partially offset by the increases in salary and related benefit and other expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, selling expenses were $17,880 as compared to $42,640 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $24,760 or 58.1%. The decrease in our selling expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to the decreases in advertising, shipping and handling and other expenses, partially offset by an increase in salary and related benefit.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, salary and related benefit increased by $887 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was attributable to the increase in salary expenses and bonuses paid, as we had more sales staff on our sales team during the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, salary and related benefit increased by $3,004 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which was primarily attributable to an increase in salary expenses and bonus paid, as we had more sales staff on our sales team during the nine months ended September 2012 as compared to the corresponding period in 2011.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we did not incur any advertising expenses, while we recorded advertising expenses of $61 and $9,482 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. We primarily relied on our sales staff to promote our products and did not have any advertising activities during 2012.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, shipping and handling expenses decreased by $3,265 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. In the third quarter of 2012, the majority of the shipping fees were either paid directly or reimbursed by our customers, while in the third quarter of 2011 shipping fees were paid by us. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, shipping and handling expenses decreased by $9,621 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a majority of the shipping fees were either paid directly by our customers or reimbursed to us by our customers, while in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 shipping fees were paid by us.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, other miscellaneous selling expenses increased by $627 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in materials expenditure related to handicrafts selling activities during the three months ended September 30, 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, other miscellaneous selling expenses decreased by $8,661 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This decrease was primarily attributable to the overall decrease in materials expenditure related to selling activities.

General and Administrative Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, general and administrative expenses amounted to $256,013, as compared to $221,654 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $34,359 or 15.5%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, general and administrative expenses amounted to $619,786, as compared to $533,595 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $86,191 or 16.2%. General and administrative expenses consisted of the following:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Compensation and related benefits	$	52,056	$	42,568	$	152,061	$	124,205
Depreciation		48,634		38,153		137,624		110,336
Travel and entertainment		27,819		25,305		68,120		77,013
Professional fees		98,374		68,674		183,628		127,902
Research and development		-		694		-		15,968

Total	$	256,013	$	221,654	$	619,786	$	533,595

The increase in our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the comparable period in 2011, was primarily attributable to increases in compensation and related benefits, depreciation and professional fees, partially offset by decreases in other expenses. The increase in our general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the corresponding period in 2011, was primarily attributable to increases in compensation and related benefits paid, depreciation expenses, and professional fees, partially offset by the decreases in travel and entertainment expenses and research and development expenses. The changes in these expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, consisted of the following:

●

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, compensation and related benefits increased by $9,488 or 22.3% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compensation and related benefits increased by $27,856 or 22.4% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. These increases were primarily attributable to an increase in salaries paid to our management and other administrative staff resulting from the expansion of our business.

●

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, depreciation increased by $10,481 or 27.5% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, depreciation increased by $27,288 or 24.7% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. These increases were primarily attributable to an increase in depreciable assets. Since later part of 2011, we purchased more fixed assets as a result of the expansion of our business. As such, we had more depreciable assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2011.

●

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, travel and entertainment increased by $2,514 or 9.9% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was due to more travel activities incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, travel and entertainment decreased by $8,893 or 11.5% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. These decreases were primarily attributable to less travel and entertainment activities incurred during the first nine months of 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011.

●

Professional fees consisted primarily of legal, accounting and other fees associated with preparing to and becoming a reporting company in the United States. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, professional fees increased by $29,700 or 43.2%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, professional fees increased by $55,726 or 43.6%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in legal and accounting fees as a result of our becoming a reporting company in the United States in 2012.

●

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, other general and administrative expense decreased by $17,130 or 37.0%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to less office and communication expenses incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2012 as a result of our cost cutting effort. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, other general and administrative expense remained materially consistent.

Income from Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, income from operations was $879,431 as compared to $714,759 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $164,672 or 23.0%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, income from operations was $3,358,415 as compared to $2,851,463 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $506,952 or 17.8%. These increases were primarily due to higher overall gross margins and a decrease in selling expenses incurred and offset by the increase in general and administrative expenses.

Other Income (Expenses)

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, total other income amounted to $228 as compared to total other expenses of $2,454 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, total other income amounted to $1,455 as compared to total other expenses of $13,126 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The change in total other income (expenses) was primarily attributable to the following:

●

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, interest income amounted to $474 as compared to interest income of $263 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, interest income amounted to $2,062 as compared to interest income of $1,712 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. These increases were the result of more money being deposited in interest-bearing accounts.

●

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, other expense amounted to $246 as compared to other expense of $2,717 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, other expense amounted to $607 as compared to other expense of $14,838 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was a result of better costs control related to non-operational expenses.

Net Income

As a result of the factors described above, our net income was $879,659 or $0.02 per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to $712,305 or $0.02 per share (basic) and $0.01 per share (diluted), for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Our net income was $3,359,870 or $0.07 per share (basic and diluted), for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to $2,838,337 or $0.07 per share (basic) and $0.06 per share (diluted), for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we reported an unrealized loss on foreign currency translation of $59,359, as compared to unrealized gain of $158,519 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we reported an unrealized gain on foreign currency translation of $108,308, as compared to $582,653 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The change reflects the effect of the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the RMB. These gains (loss) are non-cash items. As described elsewhere herein, the functional currency of our subsidiary, JSJ, and our VIE, HDS, is the RMB. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for net revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains resulting from foreign exchange transactions, if any, are included in the consolidated statements of income.

Comprehensive Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, comprehensive income of $820,300 was derived from our net income of $879,659, partially offset by a foreign currency translation loss of $59,359. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, comprehensive income of $870,824 was derived from the sum of our net income of $712,305 plus a foreign currency translation gain of $158,519.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, comprehensive income of $3,468,178 was derived from the sum of our net income of $3,359,870 plus a foreign currency translation gain of $108,308. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, comprehensive income of $3,420,990 was derived from the sum of our net income of $2,838,337 plus a foreign currency translation gain of $582,653.

TCM raw materials

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we sold 5,400 kg of TCM raw materials as compared to 5,160 kg of TCM raw materials during the three months ended September 30, 2011, a 4.7% increase in sales volume due to increased sales efforts and customer demand, while the average unit selling price remained constant. We sold TCM raw materials to Yew Pharmaceutical, a related party, at a fixed price of RMB 1,000,000 (approximately $158,000) per metric ton pursuant to the Development Agreement, and we sold TCM raw materials to other customers at a price of RMB 1,100,000 (approximately $174,000) per metric ton.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we sold 16,800 kg of TCM raw materials as compared to 16,420 kg of TCM raw materials during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a 2.3% increase in sales volume due to increased sales efforts and customer demand, with a 5.1% increase in our average unit selling price. The increase in our average unit selling price was attributable to the increase in the percentage of total TCM raw materials sales made to our third party customers. We sold TCM raw materials to Yew Pharmaceutical, a related party, at a fixed price of RMB 1,000,000 (approximately $158,000) per metric ton pursuant to the Development Agreement, and we sold TCM raw materials to other customers at a price of RMB 1,100,000 (approximately $174,000) per metric ton.

In February 2010, we began selling yew branches and leaves that are used in the production of TCM. On January 9, 2010, we entered into the Development Agreement with Yew Pharmaceutical, a related party, for the development, production and sale of yew-based TCM. Pursuant to the Development Agreement, we sell yew branches and leaves to Yew Pharmaceutical. Yew Pharmaceutical manufactures TCM at its own facilities in Harbin in accordance with the requirements of the Heilongjiang Food and Drug Administration (the “HFDA”). Yew Pharmaceutical is also responsible for producing the finished product in accordance with the requirements of good manufacturing practices (“GMP”). In this regard, Yew Pharmaceutical received a GMP certificate in November 2009, and has filed all applications with, and obtained all approvals from, the HFDA.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we had revenue of $442,467 and $251,876, respectively, from the sale of TCM raw materials to Yew Pharmaceutical pursuant to the Development Agreement. As Yew Pharmaceutical did not make TCM raw materials purchases from us during the second quarter of 2012, it made more purchases in the three months ended September 30, 2012 in order to meet its production needs. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, revenue from the sale of TCM raw materials to third parties amounted to $451,442 and $607,621, respectively, as we had less third-party customer demand and seasonal limitations on the sale of TCM raw materials as a result of the growth rate of yew trees available for cutting branches and leaves.

Sales of yew raw materials to a related party customer, Yew Pharmaceutical, decreased during the first two quarters of 2012 because Yew Pharmaceutical had adequate inventory for its needs and as we focused our attention on expanding such sales to third party customers. During the third quarter of 2012, sales of yew raw materials to Yew Pharmaceutical increased because Yew Pharmaceutical required more yew raw material as its own inventory decreased, while sales of yew raw material to third party customers decreased because such customers now had adequate inventory. Accordingly, our revenue generated from the related party revenue increased and our revenue generated from the third party customers decreased during the third quarter of 2012.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, pursuant to the Development Agreement, we had revenue of $600,556 and $1,169,688, respectively, from the sale of TCM raw materials to Yew Pharmaceutical. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, revenue from the sale of TCM raw materials to third parties amounted to $2,259,996 and $1,489,546, respectively, as we actively developed more sales to third party customers during 2012. Over the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the overall mix of sales of our yew raw materials consisted primarily of sales to third party customers compared to sales to the related party customer.

Sales volume is summarized as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Sales volume - third parties (kg)		2,600		3,560		13,000		8,810
Sales volume - related party (kg)		2,800		1,600		3,800		7,610
Total sales volume		5,400		5,160		16,800		16,420

Additionally, in order to ensure the sustainability of our yew forests, we closely monitor the growth rate of our yew trees. The amount of TCM raw materials can be sold is limited by the seasonal growth rate of our yew trees that are available for cutting branches and leaves. Over time, as more yew trees reach maturity, these limits may be increased.

The decrease in our cost of revenues in the TCM raw materials segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the corresponding periods of 2011 was primarily attributable to improved operational efficiencies in 2012. We have continued to find ways to improve our operational efficiencies and cost controls in the TCM raw materials segment since we first started this segment’s operations in 2010. As a result, we were able to reduce the cost of revenues as a percentage of our revenue.

Yew trees

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we sold approximately 42,000 yew seedlings and trees as compared to approximately 51,000 yew seedlings and trees in the three months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease in volume of 17.6%. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, demand for our yew trees decreased as our customers did not have as many reforestation or landscaping projects as a result of the current slowdown in the Chinese economy. In addition, because the supply of yew trees is relatively limited while our yew forests continue to grow and reach maturity, we have become more selective in selling to customers in 2012 who are capable of paying higher prices for yew trees, thereby generating greater profit margins for us, while maintaining the sustainability of our yew trees inventory for our future revenue growth. We sold more yew trees in the potted miniature trees form as a percentage of our yew tree revenues. Potted miniature trees are higher priced than yew seedlings and customers generally purchase potted miniature trees in smaller quantities. As a result, we saw an increase in the average unit selling price of yew trees of 49.8% for the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the third quarter of 2011. The increase in our average unit selling price for yew trees was primarily attributable to the different sales revenue mix with varying unit selling prices.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we sold approximately 227,000 yew seedlings and trees as compared to approximately 349,000 yew seedlings and trees in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease in volume of 35.0%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, demand for our yew seedling products decreased as our customers did not have as many forestation or landscaping projects as a result of the current slowdown in the Chinese economy. Additionally, we sold more yew trees in the potted miniature trees form. Potted miniature trees are generally more mature and higher priced than yew seedlings and customers generally purchase potted miniature trees in smaller quantities. As such, the sales volume decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. However, we saw an increase in the average unit selling price of yew trees of 71.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in our average unit selling price for yew trees was primarily attributable to the different sales revenue mix with varying unit selling price. The selling price of yew trees is dependent on the age, size and variety of the seedling or tree. For example, smaller, less developed yew seedlings or trees sell for less than more mature seedlings or trees. We sold more matured and larger yew seedlings as a percentage of total yew trees sales during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The decrease in our cost of revenues in the yew tree segment for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the comparable period of 2011 was because we sold less yew trees and the percentage of younger trees sold was higher for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in our cost of revenues in the yew trees segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the comparable period of 2011 was attributable to the increased cost of cultivating yew trees in 2012 and overall more mature yew trees with higher costs being sold in 2012. We sold approximately 42,000 and 227,000 yew seedlings and trees in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to approximately 51,000 and 349,000 yew seedlings and trees in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The average cost per yew tree was approximately $0.51 and $1.41 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $1.73 and $0.82 per yew tree in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

In connection with our entering into the Fuye Field Agreement, we acquired more than 80,000 trees – which are not yew trees – located on that property. These trees consist of approximately 20,000 larix, 56,700 spruce and 3,700 poplar trees. Larix trees are used primarily in landscaping and we currently anticipate that we will begin selling larix trees to customers during 2013. Spruce and poplar trees are used primarily as building materials and we currently anticipate that we will begin selling these trees to customers in later periods, when these trees reach maturity in several years.

Handicrafts

During the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, revenue from the sale of handicrafts made from yew timber amounted to $82,699 and $24,486, respectively, an increase of $58,213 or 237.7%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, revenue from the sale of handicrafts made from yew timber amounted to $118,734 and $91,391, including sales to a related party of $1,603 and $0, respectively, an increase of $27,343 or 29.9%. We sold more yew handicrafts, including furniture, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the comparable period in 2011. We increased our sales effort in promoting our high-priced yew handicrafts in the third quarter of 2012.

In August 2012, we began to actively market our handicraft products. Specific steps taken to market our handicraft products include:

We will begin to engage first tier distributors to distributor our handicraft products in provincial capital cities in 10 provinces; each first tier distributor is required to reach minimal annual sales volume of 2,000,000 RMB. First tier distributors will be able to purchase handicrafts from us at a price below the price that basic distributors pay for the handicraft products. In addition to the discounted first tier distributor pricing provided, we will also provide approximately 3%-5% commission (payable in yew seedling products) to these first tier distributors.

We will engage second tier distributors in smaller cities. Each second tier distributor is required to reach minimal annual sales volume of 1,000,000 RMB. These distributors will also be offered beneficial pricing off the price that basic distributors pay. We will also provide approximately 2%-3% commission (payable in yew seedling products) to the second tier distributors.

·	We have instructed our sales rep to make frequent visits to our distributors to promote our handicraft products.

The increase in our cost of revenues in the handicrafts segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the corresponding periods of 2011 was due to increased costs incurred in connection with increased sales of handicrafts and a different product mix sold.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had cash balances of $567,798 and $732,371, respectively. These funds are primarily located in various financial institutions located in China. Our primary uses of cash have been for the purchase of yew trees, land use rights and yew forest assets. Additionally, we use cash for employee compensation, and for working capital.

In July 2012, we entered into the Fuye Field Agreement to acquire a land use right in the amount of approximately $2.4 million, payable in installments. We lease 117.5 mu (approximately 19.6 acres) located at Fuye Field, Beizhao Village, Hongxing Town, A’cheng District in Helongjiang Province, PRC. The term of the Fuye Field Agreement is 16 years, through March 2028. During the term of the Fuye Field Agreement, we have the right to develop the property for the production of yew trees. In addition, we acquired a building and more than 80,000 trees – which are not yew trees – located on the property. In connection with the Fuye Field Agreement, we paid approximately $1.5 million as of September 30, 2012 and there is an amount payable related to the Fuye Field Agreement of approximately $0.9 million as of September 30, 2012 which was included in accounts payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We presently expect to be able to make the additional payments required by the Fuye Field Agreement from cash-on-hand and net cash flow from operations.

The following table sets forth information as to the principal changes in the components of our working capital from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012:

						December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012

Working capital (deficiency)	$	1,046,457	$	(1,253,852	)	$	2,300,309			(183.5	)%

Our working capital increased $2,300,309 to $1,046,457 at September 30, 2012, from a working capital deficiency of $(1,253,852) at December 31, 2011. This increase in working capital is primarily attributable to:

·	An increase in accounts receivable of approximately $530,000;

·	An increase in inventories of approximately $189,000;

·	An increase in prepaid rent – related parties of approximately $67,000;

·	An increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of approximately $14,000;

·	A decrease in accounts payable of approximately $445,000;

·	A decrease in accrued expenses and other payables of approximately $70,000;

·	A decrease in refundable common stock subscription of approximately $950,000;

·	A decrease in due to related parties of approximately $210,000;

offset by:

·	A decrease in cash of approximately $165,000; and

·	An increase in taxes payable of approximately $11,000.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net cash flow provided by operating activities was $345,813, as compared to net cash flow provided by operating activities of $4,368,029 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $4,022,216. Because the exchange rate conversion is different for the balance sheet and the statements of cash flows, the changes in assets and liabilities reflected on the statements of cash flows is not necessarily identical with the comparable changes reflected on the balance sheets.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net cash flow provided by operating activities of $345,813 was primarily attributable to:

	●	net income of approximately $3,360,000 adjusted for the add-back of non-cash items, such as: depreciation of approximately $159,000, and amortization of land use rights and yew forest assets of approximately $259,000, and
	●	the receipt of cash from operations from changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $34,000,

partially offset by:

the use of cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities, such as: an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $531,000, an increase in inventories of approximately $2,335,000 mainly due to the acquired trees from Fuye Field Agreement, an increase in prepaid rent – related parties of approximately $67,000, a decrease in accounts payable of approximately $452,000 and a decrease in accrued expenses and other payables of approximately $67,000.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash flow provided by operating activities of $4,368,029 was primarily attributable to:

	●	net income of approximately $2,838,000 adjusted for the add-back of non-cash items, such as depreciation of approximately $128,000, amortization of land use rights and yew forest assets of approximately $213,000, loss on disposal of fixed assets of approximately $10,000; and
	●	the receipt of cash from operations from changes in operating assets and liabilities, such as: a decrease in inventories of approximately $859,000, an increase in accounts payable of approximately $502,000,
	●	partially offset by the use of cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities, such as a decrease in advances from customers of approximately $174,000.

Net cash flow used by investing activities was approximately $274,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to net cash flow used in investing activities of approximately $5,608,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we spent approximately $208,000 on purchase of property and equipment and spent approximately $66,000 on purchase of land use rights and yew forest assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we spent approximately $134,000 on purchase of property and equipment and spent approximately $5,495,000 on purchase of land use rights and yew forest assets, offset by proceeds from disposal of property and equipment of approximately $20,000.

Net cash flow used in financing activities was approximately $239,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to net cash flow provided by financing activities of approximately $200,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we made repayments to a related party of approximately $239,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we received proceeds from related party advances of approximately $137,000 and received proceeds from a director’s advances of approximately $63,000.

We have historically financed our operations and capital expenditures through cash flows from operations, bank loans and advances from related parties. From March 2008 to September 2009, we received approximately $2.9 million of proceeds in the aggregate from offerings and sales of our common stock. Except for the portion used to pay for professional and other expenses in the U.S., substantial portions of the proceeds we received through selling of our common stock were retained in the PRC and used to fund our working capital requirements. As the PRC government imposes controls on PRC companies’ ability to convert RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currency out of China, from time to time, in order to fund our corporate activities in the U.S., our CEO Zhiguo Wang advanced funds to us in the U.S. and we repaid the amount owed to him in RMB in the PRC.

It is management’s intention to expand our operations as quickly as reasonably practicable to capitalize on the demand opportunity for our products. We regularly review our cash funding requirements and attempt to meet those requirements through a combination of cash on hand, cash provided by operations and any potential available bank borrowings. We believe that we can continue meeting our cash funding requirements for our business in this manner over at least the next twelve months. The majority of our funds are maintained in RMB in bank accounts in China. We receive all of our revenue in the PRC. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from the SAFE or its local counterparts is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also, at its discretion, restrict access to foreign currencies for current account transactions. Approximately $24.5 million of our net assets are located in the PRC. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, and we may not be able to move funds deposited within the PRC to fund working capital requirements in the U.S. or pay dividends, which we have declared not but might declare in the future, in currencies other than the RMB, to our shareholders.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have certain potential commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

The following tables summarize our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2012, and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods:

Contractual obligations:	Total		1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		5+ years
Operating leases	$	667,293	$	36,004	$	69,561	$	63,924	$	497,804
Land and yew forest rights (1)		895,532		105,778		789,754		-		-
Total	$	1,562,825	$	141,782	$	859,315	$	63,924	$	497,804

(1)

On July 18, 2012, we entered into the Fuye Field Agreement, pursuant to which we acquired the right to use land with an area of 117.5 mu (approximately 19.6 acres), for a term of 16 years, through March 2028. We also acquired a building, and more than 80,000 trees — which are not yew trees — located on the property. During the term of the Fuye Field Agreement, we have the right to develop the property for the production of yew trees. The aggregate purchase price of RMB 15,002,300 (approximately $2,377,000) was divided into three installments. As of September 30, 2012, we made payment of RMB 9,330,000 (approximately $1.5 million) and we are required to pay RMB 670,000 (approximately $106,000) on December 25, 2012 and RMB 5,002,300 (approximately $790,000) on or before December 25, 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates Risk

Substantially all of our operating revenues and expenses are denominated in RMB. We operate using RMB and the effects of foreign currency fluctuations are largely mitigated because local expenses in the PRC are also denominated in the same currency. We do not believe that we currently have any significant direct foreign exchange risk and have not hedged exposures denominated in foreign currencies or any other derivative financial instruments. Because we generally receive cash flows denominated in RMB, our exposure to foreign exchange risks should be limited.

Our assets and liabilities, of which the functional currency is the RMB, are translated into USD using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, resulting in translation adjustments that are reflected as cumulative translation adjustment in the shareholders’ equity section on our consolidated balance sheets. A portion of our net assets are impacted by changes in foreign currencies translation rates in relation to the U.S. dollar. We recorded a foreign currency translation gain (loss) of $(59,359) and $108,308 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, to reflect the impact of the fluctuation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar.

The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. The conversion of the RMB into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China.

To the extent that we decide to convert RMB denominated cash amounts into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making any dividend payments, which we have not declared but may declare in the future, or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us. Conversely, if we need to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for operations, appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the RMB amount it received from the conversion. We have not used, and do not currently expect to use in the future, any forward contracts or currency borrowings to hedge exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.

Interest Rate Risk

We have not been, nor do we currently anticipate being, exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates.
