EXTRACT FROM MANAGEMENT¡¯S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The following information should be read in conjunction with our selected consolidated financial and operating data and the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report, particularly in ¡°Risk Factors¡± and ¡°Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements.¡±

 

Virtually all of our revenues and expenses are denominated in Renminbi ("RMB"), the currency of the People's Republic of China. Because we report our financial statements in U.S. dollars, we are exposed to translation risk resulting from fluctuations of exchange rates between the RMB and the U.S. dollar. There is no assurance that exchange rates between the RMB and the U.S. dollar will remain stable. A devaluation of the RMB relative to the U.S. dollar could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. See ¡°Risk Factors.¡± We do not engage in currency hedging and to date, inflation has not had a material impact on our business.

 

Unless otherwise specified, references to Notes to our consolidated financial statements are to the Notes to our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the two-year period ended December 31, 2008.

 

Overview

 

We are incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware and our operating subsidiary, Yang Ling, is headquartered in ShaanxiProvince, the People¡¯s Republic of China. We are engaged in developing, manufacturing and selling organic fertilizers, liquid fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides in the People¡¯s Republic of China and produce numerous proprietary product lines, from pesticides to crop-specific fertilizers. We market and sell our products to distributors throughout the People's Republic of China, and these distributors, in turn, sell our products to farmers. We also conduct research and development to further improve existing products and develop new formulas and products.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The accounting and reporting policies that we use affect our consolidated financial statements. Certain of our accounting and reporting policies are critical to an understanding of our results of operations and financial condition, and in some cases, the application of these policies can be significantly affected by the estimates, judgments and assumptions made by management during the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. These accounting and reporting policies are described below. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our accounting policies.

 

 

Accounts receivable

 

We maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable and record them primarily on a specific identification basis. In order to establish reserves, we review the composition of accounts receivable and analyze historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. This analysis and evaluation requires the use of judgments and estimates. Because of the nature of the evaluation, certain of the judgments and estimates are subject to change, which may require adjustments in future periods.

 

Inventories

 

We value inventories at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market. When evaluating our inventory, we compare the cost with the market value and make allowance to write them down to market value, if lower. The determination of market value requires the use of estimates and judgment by our management.

 

Intangible assets

 

We evaluate intangible assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. This evaluation requires the use of judgments and estimates, in particular with respect to recoverability. Recoverability of intangible assets, other long-lived assets and, goodwill is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, ¡°Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities¡± (¡°FSP EITF 07-3¡±), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed.  Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), ¡°Business Combinations.¡± SFAS No. 141R changes how a reporting enterprise accounts for the acquisition of a business. SFAS No. 141R requires an acquiring entity to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value, with limited exceptions, and applies to a wider range of transactions or events. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and early adoption and retrospective application is prohibited.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, ¡°Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements¡±, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (¡°ARB¡±) No. 51.  SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  SFAS 160 changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest.  SFAS 160 is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Based on current conditions, we do not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, ¡°Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.¡± SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity¡¯s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Based on current conditions, we do not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

 

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, ¡°The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.¡± SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS 162 will not have an impact on our financial statements.

 

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, ¡°Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.¡± The scope of SFAS 163 is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of Statement 60. Accordingly, SFAS 163 does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables). SFAS 163 also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of FASB Statement No. 133, ¡°Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.¡± SFAS 163 will not have an impact on our financial statements.

 

For information regarding these and other recent accounting pronouncements and their expected impact on our future financial condition or results of operations, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.

 

Results of Operations

 

Year ended December 31, 2008 compared to year ended December 31, 2007

 

Revenue. We generated revenues of $7,594,458 for the year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $4,514,121 or 37.3%, compared to $12,108,579 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The significant decrease in revenue was due to the abnormally cold spring time weather of Shaanxi province, which affected crop plantings and decreased the use of fertilizer.

 

Gross Profit. We achieved a gross profit of $2,030,113 for the year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $3,316,096 or 62.0%, compared to $5,346,209 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The significant decrease in gross profit was due to the significant decrease in revenue as result of decreased sales, and, to a lesser extent, increased commodities prices, which increased our costs of revenues. Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of revenues), decreased, from 44.2% for the year ended December 31, 2007, to 26.7% for the year ended December 31, 2008 primarily due to changes in overall product mix comprising sales.  In addition, during 2008, the Company sold approximately $2,600,000 of older inventory to a customer at cost.

 

Operating expenses. We incurred operating expenses of $11,036,750 for the year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $19,872,954 or 64.3% compared to $30,909,704 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The significant decrease in our operating expenses is due to the decrease in our general and administrative expenses as a result of a significant increase in allowance for doubtful accounts in 2007.

 

Aggregated selling expenses accounted for $2,558,396 of our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $785,852 or 44.4% compared to $1,772,544 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in our aggregated selling expenses is primarily due the increase in advertising expense.  General and administrative expenses accounted for $5,866,097 of our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008, which decreased $23,197,160 or 79.9% compared to $29,137,160 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The significant decrease in our general and administrative expenses is primarily related to an increase during 2007 in our allowance for doubtful accounts, legal fees associated with litigation and other matters in connection with the Amex delisting and a loss of approximately $1,700,000 due to storm damage in August 2007.  Write down of assets in 2008 consisted of a write down of our inventory of $1,624,397 due to obsolescence and a write down of an investment of $987,860.

 

Non Operating Income and Expenses. We had total non-operating income of $2,045,834 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to total non-operating income of $274,276 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Other income was $1,889,898 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $(69,519) for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The change is primarily due to bad debt recoveries during the year ended December 31, 2008.  Total non-operating income includes interest income of $155,936 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to only $348,113 of interest income for the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Net Income (Loss). For the foregoing reasons, we had a net loss of $6,919,037 for the year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $18,408,355 or 72.7% compared to net loss of $25,327,392 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  We had earnings (loss) per share of $(0.37) for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to earnings per share of $(1.38) for the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We are primarily a parent holding company for the operations carried out by our indirect operating subsidiary, Yang Ling, which carries out its activities in the People¡¯s Republic of China. Because of our holding company structure, our ability to meet our cash requirements apart from our financing activities, including payment of dividends on our common stock, if any, substantially depends upon the receipt of dividends from our subsidiaries, particularly Yang Ling.

 

As of December 31, 2008, we had $90,716 of cash and cash equivalents compared to $617,406 as of December 31, 2007. The significant decrease in cash is due to an increase in net cash used in investing.

 

Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe our cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations will satisfy our current working capital needs, capital expenditures and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations. However, to the extent our allowance for bad debts in insufficient to cover our actual bad debt experience, our liquidity would be negatively impacted.

 

Cash Flows

 

We had $6,161,699 provided by our operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $7,932,725 used in 2007. The significant increase in cash provided was due to the advances from the suppliers and the receipt of other receivables.

 

We used $6,924,024 of cash for investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $3,743,357 in 2007.  We used cash of $9,117,104 in connection with additions to construction in process for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $3,648,750 in 2007.

 

We had no cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

 

Contractual Commitments

 

In August 2006, we entered into a 30-year land-lease arrangement with the government of the People¡¯s Republic of China, under which we pre-paid $2,529,818 upon execution of the contract of lease expense for the next 15 years. We agreed to make a prepayment for the next eight years in November 2021, and will make a final pre-payment in November 2029 for the remaining seven years. The annual lease expense amounts to approximately $169,580. Our land-lease arrangement is currently our only material on- and off-balance sheet expected or contractually committed future obligation.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We currently do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements except for the remaining pre-payments under the land-lease arrangement described above.
