NOTE 2 --- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and reflect all the necessary adjustment not recorded in the books and records of the Company’s subsidiaries.
 
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of SCLI and all its subsidiaries. All transactions and balances between the SCLI and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.   As all of the above entities are under common control, they have been consolidated based on their carrying values for both years. Accordingly no goodwill or adjustments to fair values have been recorded.

NOTE 3 --- NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of all recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended September 30, 2010. Interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited financial statements. The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 is derived from the Company’s annual audited financial statements.

NOTE 4 --- USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s financial statements include collectability of account receivable, value of live hogs, useful lives and impairment of property and equipment. Actual results when ultimately realized could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

NOTE 5 --- INVENTORY

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is calculated on the weighted average basis and includes all costs to acquire and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The Company evaluates the net realizable value of its inventories on a regular basis and records a provision for loss to reduce the computed weighted average cost if it exceeds the net realizable value.
 
 
Inventories on June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 consisted of the following:

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not currently a party to, nor are we aware of, any legal proceeding, investigation or claim which, in the opinion of our management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. The Company did not record any legal contingencies as of June 30, 2010.

CONTINGENT LIABILITY
The Companies declared dividends to its stockholders in the amount of $13,064,075 and $8,897,167 for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. According to the Income Tax Laws in PRC, the Company is required to withhold income tax of 20% on the dividends paid to shareholders, which the Company failed to do. In the event that these taxes cannot be collected from the stockholders, the Company may be liable to pay the unpaid amount of approximately $4.4 million and late payment penalty may be levied in an amount ranging from 50% to maximum 5 times the taxes owing. The Company believes that the likelihood of the taxes and penalties being levied against the company is remote as of the date hereof. In the event that the taxing authorities assess the company for these amounts, they will be recorded as appropriate, depending on whether the these can be recovered from the stockholders or not.
 
NOTE 8 ---SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Pursuant to a Subscription Agreement between the Company and certain investors named in the Subscription Agreement, at closings held on March 29, 2010, March 31, 2010, April 30, 2010 and May 6, 2010, the Company completed the sale of 759,496.5 investment units (“the Units”) for gross of $7,594,965 (net $5,783,859), each Unit consisting of two common shares and four-year warrants to purchase one common share of the Company, at an exercise price of $5.50 per share.
 
The warrants have a term of four years and provide for a cashless exercise, commencing twelve months after issuance if the underlying shares are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act.”)

In connection with the private placement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the common shares issued in the private placement within 45 days after the final closing and use its best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 180 days after the closing.  The registration statement is to cover, subject to limitations imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), the common shares issued in the private placement and the common shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Through our subsidiaries, we engage in the business of breeding and raising commercial hogs in the PRC. We believe that we are the largest breeder in Jiangxi province in China. We own 24 hog farms with a total of approximately 115,000 breeding sows and hogs .  These farms are located in Jiangxi provinces. We sell live hogs in one of China’s wealthiest regions, Guangdong province, which has China’s highest hog prices as well as deep pork consuming cultures and is considered one of China’s wealthiest regions.

China is the world’s largest market for hog production with approximately 600 million hogs produced annually. More than 1.2 billion Chinese consume pork as their primary source of meat, and 65% of all meat consumed in the PRC is pork. Chinese consumers consume more pork each year than the rest of the world combined. Pork production in China is a key political, social and security issue for consumers. The PRC government supports hog producers with preferred tax status and subsidies, insurance, vaccines and land use grants and supported pig farmers in 2009 with a program to maintain prices by purchasing frozen pork products.
 
Our business is primarily affected by the cost of feed and the market for and the selling price of live hogs.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, more than 98% of our sales were made to three companies.  We presently sell more than 95% of our pigs to one customer pursuant to a contract which provides for us to sell the customer 200,000 hogs per year.  Since our present capacity is 200,000 hogs, we will sell substantially all of our hogs to this customer.  The loss or significant reduction in orders from this customer would have a significant impact on our ability to remain profitable.  We are significantly increasing our inventory of hogs as well as breeding sows in anticipation of being able to significantly increase our sales.  However, we can give no assurance that our existing customers will purchase these pigs or that we will be able to expand our customer base.  During 2009, pig farmers in China suffered from a reduced demand for pigs and pork products which resulted in a significant decline in the sales prices for pigs.  Although government intervention helped to reduce the price drop, we cannot assure you that the government will not step in to prevent declines in the price of pigs in the future.

We purchase most of our feed, which is our largest expense, from one supplier.  If we are not able to purchase from this supplier, which could result from disease or other problems affected the supplier’s corn or changes in market conditions, we may have difficulty in purchasing feed at a reasonable cost.  Since our sales prices are based on market price, we may not be able to increase our price for pigs to cover any increase in the cost of feed.

Although the government of the PRC has broad powers to adopt price controls, it has not sought to apply price controls to either the sale or pigs or the sale of corn or other feed grains.  If price controls are adopted, our revenue would be affected, and, if price controls are placed on the sale of pigs and not the sale of feed, we would not be able to increase our sales prices to cover increases in the cost of feed.  If price controls are imposed on both the sale of pigs and the sale of feed, the government could effective determine our gross margin.
 
During the third and fourth quarters of the current fiscal year, which ends on September 30, 2010, through August 16, 2010, we entered into agreements with several pig farmers pursuant to which we purchased a total of 2,200 breeding sows and 21,000 hogs. These agreements typically provided for the payment of the purchase price in installments.  The total purchase price for these pigs was $4.9 million, of which $1.95 million has been paid and the balance of $2.95 million is due in installment at various times prior to July 31, 2011.  In connection with the purchase of the pigs for inventory, we also acquired land use rights and certain other assets.  The total purchase price for these other assets was $1.1 million, of which $330,000 has been paid and the balance of $770,000 is due in installment at various times prior to July 31, 2011.

We believe a natural area for growth is in the organic fertilizer business.  Organic fertilizers made from livestock manure are commonly used in China.  It is an environmentally friendly product and exempted from all tax with the current selling price around $117-$132 per ton.  We anticipate using the proceeds from our proposed public offering, for which we have filed a registration statement to begin development of the organic fertilizer line of business.  We plan to spend $2 million to build an organic fertilizer line by or during the fourth quarter of calendar 2010, which is the first quarter of our fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.  This organic fertilizer product will be primarily made of pig waste. We believe that it will take about two to three months to build such production line.  We believe that our fertilize business will become operational in April 2011 and we will be able to generate revenues from the new business in April 2011. Since we plan to use a portion of the the proceeds of our proposed public offering to finance the organic fertilizer business, any delay the timing of our proposed public offering or any change in the proposed terms of the offering would affect both the timing of the commencement of our efforts to develop the organic fertilizer business and our ability to develop this business. Further,, we do not have experience in the fertilizer business which is different from the raising and selling of pigs.  We cannot assure you that our cost or time estimate will be accurate, and it may take longer to establish a production facility and the costs may be greater than the $2 million which we have allocated from the proposed public offering to the project.  To the extent that our costs exceed $2 million, we believe that our cash flow from operations can satisfy any additional cash requirements.  Further, since our management does not have experience in the fertilizer business, unless we are able to hire qualified personnel to manage the fertilizer business, we may not be able to generate a profit from this business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete a public offering of our securities and the failure to complete a public offering would affect our ability to enter into the organic fertilizer business.

Reverse Acquisition

On March 29, 2010, we acquired Southern China Livestock International, Inc. in a reverse acquisition transaction, which involved a financing transaction and a share exchange transaction. In accordance with the exchange agreement, by and among us, SCLI, and the shareholders of SCLI, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of SCLI in exchange for 5,623,578 shares or 99.97% of our common stock issued and outstanding after the closing of the share exchange transaction, thereby making SCLI our wholly owned subsidiary. Pursuant to the terms of the exchange agreement, our then sole shareholder, cancelled a total of 98,500 shares of our common stock. Further, the prior officer and director of the Company resigned and new officers and directs were appointed.
 
In the related financing transaction, on March 29, 2010, March 31, 2010, April 30, 2010 and May 6, 2010, we completed a private placement of investment units for a total of $7,594,965.  The purchase price of each unit was $10.00.  Each unit consisted of two shares of common stock and four-year warrants to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.50 per share . We issued a total of 1,518,993 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase a total of 759,497 shares of common stock in this financing. Rodman & Renshaw, LLC acted as the lead placement agent and Newbridge Securities Corporation acted as the co-placement agent in connection with the financing transaction. For the placement agent services, we paid a cash commission equal to 6.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Units sold , for a total of $493,763, and we issued four-year warrants  to purchase 92,564 shares of common stock, exercisable at any time at an exercise price equal to $5.50 per share.  The warrants issued to the placement agents have registration rights identical to the registration rights afforded to the investors in the private placement.  Upon exercise of any of the warrants issued to the investors, we agreed to pay the placement agents a cash fee equal to 8% of the warrant exercise price. We further agreed to indemnify the placement agents against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.  We paid for the out-of-pocket expenses of $40,000 incurred by the placement agents.

Net Revenue

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, our net revenue increased 15.6% to $8,347,700 from $7,223,473 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we sold hogs weighing at total of 4,719,000 kilograms, representing a decrease of 1.3% from 4,781,000 kilograms for the comparable period in 2009. The average unit selling price increased 16.4% from $1.52 to $1.77 per kilogram.  The average unit selling price during the 2009 quarter reflected the effects of higher competition in the hog market resulting from a decline in demand and an oversupply of hogs.  The price increased in the 2010 quarter reflecting an overall improvement in the market for hogs.

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue consists primarily of the fodder expense, and we have limited influence on such cost. The price of fodder is determined solely by suppliers and generally reflects the price of grain. We will seek to obtain more beneficial pricing from our suppliers by offering to increase our purchases from this supplier.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to get more beneficial pricing terms or that we will not become more dependent upon a single supplier. The cost of revenue increased by 12.7% from $6,444,995 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $7,261,947 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The average unit cost increased 14.1% from $1.35 to $1.54 per kilogram.

Operating Expense

Operating expense includes overhead expenses such as rent, management and staff salaries, professional service fee, general insurance, marketing and offices expenses. Operating expenses increased 299.7% from $90,896 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $363,333 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, because during the three months ended June 30, 2010, we incurred significant expenses  associated with our public reporting requirement, including provide a competitive remuneration package to attract and retain qualified personnel and obtain professional service from attorneys and accountants. Since, we had no obligations as a public company prior to the reverse acquisition in March 29, 2010, we did not have any comparable expenses prior to that date

Income tax provision and government subsidies

The business of agricultural breeding of livestock is exempt from Enterprise Income Tax (EIT) and Value Added Tax (“VAT”).   We recorded subsidy income when received from the government and the amount of subsidy depends on the government incentive policy.
 
Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders

As a result of the foregoing, our net income attributable to common shareholders decreased from $698,000, or  $0.09 per share (basic and diluted) for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 to $630,000, or $0.12  per share (basic and diluted) for the June 2010 quarter.

Net Revenue

For the nine months ended June 30, 2009, our net revenue increased 13.3% to $27,744,480 from $24,477,903 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, we sold hogs weighing approximately 15,713,000 kilograms, representing an increase of 10.8% from approximately14,186,000 kilograms for the comparable period in 2009. The average unit selling price increased 2.3% from $1.73to $1.77 per kilogram .  The average unit selling price during the 2009 period reflected the effects of higher competition in the hog market resulting from a decline in demand and an oversupply of hogs.  The price increased in the 2010 period reflecting an overall improvement in the market for hogs.. 

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue consists primarily of the fodder expense, and we have limited influence on such cost. The price of fodder is determined solely by suppliers and generally reflects the price of grain. We will seek to obtain more beneficial pricing from our suppliers by offering to increase our purchases from this supplier.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to get more beneficial pricing terms or that we will not become more dependent upon a single supplier. The cost of revenue increased by 19.8% from $19,704,153 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 to $23,612,296 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. The average unit cost increased 7.9% from RMB1.40 to $1.51 per kilogram.

Operating Expense

Operating expense includes overhead expenses such as rent, management and staff salaries, general insurance, marketing and offices expenses. Operating expenses increased 45.4% from $392,395 to $570,635. Because during the nine months ended June 30, 2010, we incurred significant expenses associated with our public reporting requirement, including provide a competitive remuneration package to attract and retain qualified personnel and obtain professional service from attorneys and accountants . However, we had no obligations as a public company prior to the reverse acquisition in March 29, 2010, we did not have any such expenses prior to that date.

Income tax provision and government subsidies

The business of agricultural breeding of livestock is exempt from Enterprise Income Tax (EIT) and Value Added Tax (“VAT”). With the effort from the government support on hog producers during recent year, the government subsidies increased to $382,117 from $362,493 for the same period in 2009

Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders

Operating Activities

During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, net cash provided by operating activities was $3,860,940, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $6,307,644 in the nine months ended June 30, 2009.  This decrease was a result of several reasons, including a decrease of net income from $4,851,548 for the nine months ended June, 2009 to $3,929,299 in the comparable period in 2010, an increase of advance to suppliers of $1,893,102.

Investing Activities
 
During the nine months ended June, 2010, net cash used in investing activities was $4,174,001, as compared to $197,241of net cash used by investing activities for the comparable period in 2009. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the amount of purchase of biological assets from $318,225 to $1,238,865 and purchase of property and equipment from $0 to $3,115,592.  The biological assets are the breeding sows which we purchased.
 
Financing Activities
 
During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, net cash provided by financing activities was $1,588,658, mainly due to net proceeds of $5,783,859 from sale of securities in a private placement and the $4,195,201 repayment of loan from stockholders. During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, net cash used in financing activities was $8,039,995, reflecting $6,358,493 in repayment of loans from stockholders and dividend payments of $1,701,502.

Our total cash and cash equivalents increased to $2,469,690 as of June 30, 2010, as compared to $1,569,549 as of June 30, 2009. 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

There were no off-balance sheet arrangements during the nine months ended June 30, 2010 that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our interests.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK
 
Substantially all of our operations are conducted in the PRC.  Our function currency is the United States dollar and the functional currency of our Chinese subsidiaries is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). As a result, currently the effect of the fluctuations of RMB exchange rates only has a minimal impact on our business operations, but will be increasingly material as we introduce our products widely into new international markets. Substantially all of our revenues and expenses are denominated in RMB. However, we use the United States dollar for financial reporting purposes. For the nine months ended June 30, 2010, we had unrealized foreign currency translation gain of $216,083, because of the change in the exchange rate.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Item 3 is not required for smaller reporting companies.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 
 
Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act.  Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”).   Under the direction of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.  In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework.  During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, management identified significant deficiencies related to a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions  and a lack of adequate personnel who are familiar with United States GAAP. However, management believes that these deficiencies do not amount to a material weakness.  Therefore, our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2009.
 
We became a reporting company in March 2010, and prior to that date we were a privately owned company with operations in China.  As a result, our books and records have been kept in accordance with PRC GAAP.  In connection with the reverse acquisition on March 29, 2010, we prepared our financial statements in accordance with United States GAAP.  Prior to March 29, 2010, At that time, our internal accounting staff was primarily engaged in ensuring compliance with PRC accounting and reporting requirements for our operating affiliates and was not required to meet or apply U.S. GAAP requirements.  As a result, with the exception of certain additional persons hired at the end of 2009 to address these deficiencies, including the hiring of our chief financial officer, our current internal accounting department responsible for financial reporting of the Company, on a consolidated basis, is relatively new to U.S. GAAP and the related internal control procedures required of U.S. public companies.  Although our accounting staff is professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generally accepted in the PRC, management has determined that they require additional training and assistance in U.S. GAAP matters.  Management has determined that our internal audit function is also significantly deficient due to insufficient qualified resources to perform internal audit functions.
 
In order to address these deficiencies, we engaged outside consultants who are familiar with both PRC GAAP and US GAAP and who understand our business to work with our internal staff to perform the necessary services in order that our financial statements comply with US GAAP.
 
In order to correct the foregoing deficiencies, we have taken the following remediation measure.  Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible.  However, to the extent possible, we are beginning to implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals. We are continuing to engage consultants to work with our staff and to train our staff in order that our staff will understand and maintain records in accordance with US GAAP and comply with Section 404.
 
We believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the significant deficiency identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.
 
A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting.
 
Our management is not aware of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and nothing has come to the attention of management that causes them to believe that any material inaccuracies or errors exist in our financial statements as of December 31, 2009.  The reportable conditions and other areas of our internal control over financial reporting identified by us as needing improvement have not resulted in a material restatement of our financial statements. Nor are we aware of any instance where such reportable conditions or other identified areas of weakness have resulted in a material misstatement of omission in any report we have filed with or submitted to the Commission. Accordingly, we believe that our financial controls were effective.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report, the third quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
