EXPLANATORY NOTE

In this Amendment No. 1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Form 10K/A”), we refer to Zhongpin Inc., a Delaware corporation, as “we,” “us,” “our” or “our company.”

We are filing this Form 10-K/A to amend certain disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 17, 2009 (our “Report”).  The principal changes to our Report in this amendment are as follows:

· In Part I, Item 2 (Properties) of our Report, we revised footnote 3 to the table of properties to more accurately state the aggregate rental payments for the facility to be RMB 600,000 ($87,944) per quarter for the lease term;

· In Part II, Item 5 (Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities) of our Report, we revised the weighted average exercise price of outstanding options and the number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans in the summary table under the caption “Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans” to be $11.63 and 1,890,000, respectively.  The figures were inadvertently stated as $11.29 and 1,156,667, respectively, in our Report;

· In Part II, Item 6 (Selected Financial Data) of our Report,

o in the table furnishing annual selected income statement data, we revised the basic net income per common share for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 from $1.03 to $0.84, as was originally reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on March 28, 2008 (the “2007 Form 10-K”); and

o in the table furnishing quarterly selected income statement data for the year ended December 31, 2007, we revised the basic net income per common share to $0.24, $0.03, $0.26 and $0.31 for the first, second, third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2007, respectively, from $0.32, $0.21, $0.27 and $0.23, respectively, and revised the fully diluted net income per common share to $0.22, $0.03, $0.25 and $0.30 for the first, second, third and fourth fiscal quarters, respectively, from $0.19, $0.20, $0.23 and $0.18, respectively;

· In Part II, Item 8 (Financial Statements and Supplementary Data) of our Report,

o we amended our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2008 to classify purchase deposits in an aggregate amount of $6,429,295 made in connection with land usage rights as long-term assets in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.  Such purchase deposits were misclassified as current assets and included in our line item for “total current assets”;

o we amended our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2007 to revise the basic earnings per common share from $1.03 to $0.84, as was originally reported in the 2007 Form 10-K;

o under the caption “Account Receivable” in Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to the audited financial statements, we revised the information at December 31, 2008 in the table detailing the allowance activities in accounts receivable to conform the ending balance of our accounts receivable to our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2008; and

o in the table in Note 14 (Earnings Per Share) to the audited financial statements, we revised the net income attributable to common shares for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, to $15,081,431 and $2,670,877, respectively, from $18,525,281 and $4,108,934, respectively, and we revised the basic earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $0.23 from $0.35, in each case as was originally reported in the 2007 Form 10-K.

In addition to the above, we are filing this Form 10K/A to correct certain inadvertent typographical, clerical and rounding errors in Part II, Item 5 (Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities), Item 7 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) and Item 8 (Financial Statements and Supplementary Data) of our Report.  We believe those errors, when considered either individually or in the aggregate, do not result in a material change to the disclosures made in our Report as originally filed.

As required by Rule 12b-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are being filed as exhibits herewith, and as such, we have included Item 13 of Part III, “Exhibits,” as part of this Form 10-K/A. As further required by Rule 12-b-15, this Form 10-K/A sets forth the complete text of each item as amended.

This Form 10-K/A does not affect any section of our Report not specifically discussed herein and continues to speak as of the date of our Report. Other than as specifically reflected in this Form 10-K/A, this Form 10-K/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of our Report or modify or update any related disclosures. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with our other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of our Report.

PART II

Item 5. –  Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Our shares began trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on December 27, 2007 under the symbol “HOGS.”  From January 31, 2006 to December 26, 2007, our shares traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “ZHNP.”

The following table contains information about the range of high and low prices for our common stock for each full quarterly period during the period January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008.  Information for the period from January 1, 2007 to December 26, 2007 is based on the high and low bid prices of our common stock based upon reports of transactions on the OTC Bulletin Board.  Information for the period from December 27, 2007 to December 31, 2008 is the high and low closing sales price of our common stock based upon reports of transactions on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

	High		Low
Fiscal 2007
First Quarter	$	8.50	$	6.75
Second Quarter		11.34		6.75
Third Quarter		11.99		8.10
Fourth Quarter		15.10		9.00
Fiscal 2008
First Quarter	$	14.45	$	8.50
Second Quarter		13.05		9.55
Third Quarter		12.97		9.88
Fourth Quarter		12.00		6.81

These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commissions and may not represent actual transactions.  The high and low prices listed have been rounded up to the next highest two decimal places.

As of March 5, 2009, there were approximately 91 holders of record of our common stock.  On March 5, 2009, the closing sale price of our common stock as reported by the NASDAQ Global Select Market was $7.60 per share.

While cash dividends were paid in 2003 and 2002 by Henan Zhongpin, which is a deemed predecessor to our company and our subsidiary in the PRC, we have never paid or declared any dividend on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result of our holding company structure, we would rely entirely on contractual or dividend payments from Henan Zhongpin for our cash flow to pay dividends on our common stock.  The PRC government imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of the PRC, which also may affect our ability to pay cash dividends in the future.  See Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

4

The holders of our Series A convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by our Board of Directors, dividends in such amounts as may be determined by our Board of Directors from time to time out of funds legally available therefore.  No dividends (other than those payable solely in common stock) will be paid to the holders of our common stock until there shall have been paid or declared and set apart during that fiscal year for the holders of our Series A convertible preferred stock a dividend in an amount per share that the holders would have got for the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of their shares of Series A convertible preferred stock.

Performance Graph

The following graph compares the cumulative total return on our common stock, the NASDAQ Composite Index and a peer group over the period commencing on February 28, 2006 (the first date on which there was any significant trading of our common stock following our acquisition of our existing business operations on January 30, 2006) and ending on December 31, 2008.  The peer group is comprised of companies that are engaged in the production and sale of meat products (SIC Code 2011), and includes Diamond Ranch Foods Limited, Hormel Foods Corp. and Tyson Foods Inc.  We did not include Energroup Holdings Corporation (“Energroup”), a Dalian, China-based pork processing company, as Energroup did not complete its reverse merger into a U.S. shell corporation until the end of 2007 and has had no trading activity.

The performance graph assumes the value of the investment in the common stock of each index was $100 and that all dividends were reinvested. This graph is not necessarily indicative of future price performance.

*$100 invested on 2/28/06 in stock & index-including reinvestment of dividends.

Fiscal year ending December 31.

The performance graph in this Item 5 is not deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC or subject to Regulation 14A or 14C under the Exchange Act or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, and will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except to the extent we specifically incorporate it by reference into such a filing.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

On January 30, 2006, our board of directors and stockholders adopted and approved, and on February 27, 2007 our board of directors and stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of, our Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”).  The Incentive Plan allows for awards of stock options, restricted stock grants and share appreciation rights for up to 1,800,000 shares of common stock.  On April 21, 2008, the Compensation Committee of our board of directors approved, and on June 26, 2008 our stockholders approved, an amendment to the Incentive Plan for the purpose of increasing the authorized shares from 1,800,000 shares to 2,500,000 shares.

As of December 31, 2008, options to purchase an aggregate of 610,000 shares of common stock had been granted under the Incentive Plan.  Options granted in the future under the Incentive Plan are within the discretion of our board of directors.  The following table summarizes the number of shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plans.

Plan Category	(a) Number of Securities to be Issued Upon Exercise of Outstanding Options		(b) Weighted- Average Exercise Price of Outstanding Options		(c) Number of Securities Remaining Available for Future Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans (excluding securities reflected in column(a))

Item 7. – Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

During the period from our formation on February 4, 2003 to March 30, 2005, we were in an unrelated business that was discontinued on March 30, 2005.  From March 30, 2005 to January 30, 2006, we did not generate any significant revenue, and accumulated no significant assets, as we explored various business opportunities.  On January 30, 2006, in exchange for a controlling interest in our publicly-held “shell” corporation, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Falcon Link.  This transaction is commonly referred to as a “reverse acquisition.”  For financial reporting purposes, Falcon Link was considered the acquirer in such transaction.  As a result, our historical financial statements for all periods prior to January 30, 2006 included in this Report are those of Falcon Link.

Executive Summary

The following executive summary is intended to provide significant highlights of the Discussion and Analysis that follows.

• In 2008, net revenues increased 85% to $539.8 million and net profit increased 70% to $31.4 million. In 2007, net revenues increased 103% to $291.4 million and net profit increased 351% to $18.5 million.

• In 2008, basic earnings per share increased 26% to $1.06 and diluted earnings per share increased 31% to $1.05. In 2007, basic earnings per share increased 265% to $0.84 and diluted earnings per share increased 300% to $0.80.

• We ceased production in our Yanling facility and recorded a $3.2 million impairment for the assets at that location. We plan to sell those assets as a group in 2009.

Overview

We are principally engaged in the meat and food processing and distribution business in the PRC.  Currently, we have 12 processing plants located in Henan, Hebei, Jilin and Sichuan Provinces and in Tianjin City in the PRC.  Our current total production capacity for chilled pork and frozen pork is approximately 1,385.4 metric tons per day, based on an eight-hour working day, or approximately 498,760 metric tons on an annual basis.  We also have production capacity for prepared meats of approximately 150 metric tons per eight-hour day, or approximately 54,000 metric tons on an annual basis, and for fruits and vegetables of approximately 35 metric tons per eight-hour day, or approximately 12,600 metric tons on an annual basis.  We utilize state-of-the-art equipment in all of our abattoirs and processing facilities.

The following table sets forth, as of March 1, 2009, the annual production capacity of our processing plants based on an eight-hour working day.

We believe we must continue to expand our production capacity to seize additional market share.  As a result, we are currently constructing, or plan to construct, the following additional production facilities to expand our production capacity:

• We recently completed the construction of the expansion and upgrading of our production line for fruits and vegetables in our production facilities located in Changge City, Henan Province.  This new production line has been designed to expand our production capacity for fruits and vegetables in Changge City by 83 metric tons per eight-hour day, or approximately 30,000 metric tons on an annual basis.  This increased capacity will allow us to consolidate into one state-of-the-art production facility the existing fruit and vegetable production currently in our existing facility in Changge City (annual production capacity of 12,600 metric tons) and our Yanling facility in Henan Province (annual production of 10,800 metric tons), to discontinue outsourcing fruit and vegetable processing from third-party suppliers (approximately 2,880 metric tons in fiscal 2008), and to increase our aggregate production capacity for fruits and vegetables by approximately 14%, to 30,000 metric tons from the current 26,280 metric tons.  The new facility is expected to be put into operation in late March 2009.

• We plan to invest approximately $52.0 million, not including the cost of land use rights, to build a production facility, warehouse and distribution center, and research and development center in Tianjin City.  This facility is being designed with a production capacity of 100,000 metric tons for chilled and frozen pork, of which 70% will be for chilled pork and 30% for frozen pork, and 36,000 metric tons for prepared foods. We expect to commence construction for this project in April 2009 and to put the new facility into use in the second quarter of 2010.  After production at this new facility commences, we intend to terminate the lease for our existing production facilities in Tianjin City.  Following such closure and with the addition of the production capacity from the new facility, our annual chilled and frozen pork production will increase by approximately 9% to 545,760 metric tons from the current production of 498,760 metric tons.

• We also plan to invest approximately $21.0 million to build an additional production facility in Changge City, Henan Province.  This facility is being designed with a production capacity of 36,000 metric tons for prepared foods, including quick-freeze sausages and other prepared meat products that will cater to various consumer tastes.  We expect to commence construction for this project in April 2009 and to put this facility into use in December 2009.

Over the past two years, we constructed three processing plants in Henan Province.  We constructed all of these plants ourselves because we are familiar with the market, and we located these plants in a capacity cluster so we can serve Henan Province and its surrounding areas.  We believe these plants will enable us to achieve synergies in certain areas, including the purchase of raw materials, logistics and marketing.  To further expand our business and to upgrade the “Zhongpin” brand from a regional brand to a national brand, we intend to expand our production into other provinces in which pork is traditionally consumed in significant quantities and in which there is a sufficient hog supply. In an effort to minimize our risk and the potential of losses when expanding into new markets, we have entered certain markets by leasing, rather than purchasing or constructing, our production facilities because we believe that, even after conducting comprehensive market research and professional due diligence, there is significant risk that a market will not generate the level of sales we expect.  For example, we leased a plant in Heilongjiang Province with the intention of leveraging its location and transportation advantages to develop the export market.  In 2008, we determined that the export market was shrinking and that our market risk was increasing. As a result, in January 2009, we terminated the lease agreement for our Heilongjiang production facilities and leased another plant in Jilin Province to focus on the domestic market.  We believe we would have been unable to shift our strategy in Heilongjiang Province as quickly as we did if we had acquired or constructed our production facilities in that province. On the other hand, we acquired a plant in Deyang, Sichuan Province after we leased the plant for a period of time.  In the future, we would like to replicate our success in Henan Province in other provinces in northern and eastern China where we would like to build capacity clusters similar to the cluster we constructed in Henan Province.  We intend to lease, acquire or build new facilities to support the development of our target markets.

Our capacity utilization rate was approximately 57%, 65% and 84% for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The capacity utilization rate is calculated by using our production quantity divided by our weighted average capacity in each year. Our capacity utilization rate fluctuated during those periods due to the supply of live hogs and raw materials in certain periods, the price fluctuation for live hogs in different areas near our production facilities, our maintenance of machineries and facilities, and our sales capability.  Our target capacity utilization rate at our production facilities is approximately 70%. The decrease in our utilization rate over the past three years was primarily due to the significant increase in our capacity over that period resulting from the additional facilities we put into operation in 2008 and 2007.  We anticipate that it will take from three to six months for the utilization rates of our new production facilities to reach our target utilization rate.

Our products are sold under the “Zhongpin” brand name.  At December 31, 2008, our customers included 21 international or domestic fast food companies in the PRC, 39 processing factories and 1,669 school cafeterias, factory canteens, army posts and national departments.  At such date, we also sold directly to 3,061 retail outlets, including supermarkets, within the PRC.

Since 2001, we have been one of the “leading agricultural industrial enterprises” in the PRC.  Over the past five fiscal years, we achieved a compound annual growth rate of 79% in terms of revenues and 84% in terms of net profits.  We have established distribution networks in 24 provinces, including four cities with special legal status, in the North, East, South and South Midland of the PRC, and also have formed strategic partnerships with leading supermarket chains and the catering industry in the PRC.  In addition, we export products to the European Union, Southeast Asia, Russia and South Africa.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.  We evaluate, on an on-going basis, our estimates for reasonableness as changes occur in our business environment.  We base our estimates on experience, the use of independent third-party specialists, and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

11

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments, estimates and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.  We believe the following are our critical accounting policies:

Revenue Recognition.  Revenues generated from the sale of various meat products and vegetables and fruits are recognized when these products are delivered to customers in accordance with previously-agreed-upon pricing and delivery arrangements, and the collectability of these sales is reasonably assured.  Since the products sold by us are primarily perishable and frozen food products, the right of return is only for a few days and has been determined to be insignificant by our management.  Accordingly, no provision has been made for returnable goods.  Revenues presented on our consolidated income statements are net of sales taxes.

Accounts Receivable.During the normal course of business, our policy is to ask larger customers to make deposits in reasonable and meaningful amounts on a case-by-case basis.  For certain newly-developed customers, we may extend unsecured credit.

We regularly evaluate and monitor the creditworthiness of each of our customers in accordance with the prevailing practice in the meat industry and based on general economic conditions in the PRC.  If any particular customer appears to be delaying or deferring payments for our products, we generally request a deposit from, or an increase in the deposits of, such customer.  Such deposits are typically applied against the outstanding accounts receivable of the applicable customer during the year.  As a result, we did not have a bad debt allowance provided against any specific customer at December 31, 2008.

We maintain a general policy of providing 100% allowance for doubtful accounts in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of those accounts that are not collected within one year plus an amount equal to 5% of the aggregate amount of accounts receivable less than one year old.  After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.  Prior to December 31, 2008, Henan Zhongpin had a general policy of providing a reserve for doubtful accounts in an amount equal to 10% of its accounts receivable.  However, after examining the actual collection experience for the past two years, effective December 31, 2008, Henan Zhongpin changed its allowance estimate from 10% to 5%, which is consistent with the practice of our other subsidiaries.  As a result of changing this estimate, our net income in 2008 increased by $999,999, which had a $0.03 impact on our basic earnings per share and our diluted earnings per share in 2008.

Inventories.Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, and net realizable value.  Work-in-progress and finished goods are composed of direct material, direct labor and an attributable portion of manufacturing overhead.  Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose.

Plant, Property and Equipment.  Plant, properties and equipment are recorded at cost and are stated net of accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation expense is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

	Estimated Life
Plants and buildings	5-30 years
Machinery and equipment	5-20 years
Office furniture and equipment	3-5 years
Vehicles	5 years

Maintenance and repairs are charged directly to expense as incurred, whereas betterment and renewals are generally capitalized in their respective property accounts.  When an asset is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and applicable accumulated depreciation are removed and the resulting gain or loss is recognized and reflected as an line item before operating income (loss).

12

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of that asset.  Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.  We recorded an impairment loss of $2,209,127 in fiscal 2008 due to our decision to dispose of our Yanling production facility.  There were no impairment losses in fiscal 2007 or 2006.

Income Taxes.  We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”).  SFAS No. 109 requires an entity to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence attributable to the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date.

We were established under the laws of the State of Delaware and are subject to U.S. federal income tax and Delaware state income tax.  Falcon Link was established under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and is not subject to income tax in accordance with the laws and regulations of the British Virgin Islands.  Our other operating subsidiaries, which are located in the PRC, are subject to the PRC’s new Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) Law, which was effective January 1, 2008 and has a uniform statutory tax rate of 25 percent.  Under the new EIT law, income derived by an enterprise primarily from the processing of agricultural products (including slaughtering live hogs) is exempt from EIT.  Consequently, the 11 of our 16 subsidiaries in the PRC that engage in the slaughtering of live hogs are exempted from EIT.  Two of the 11 subsidiaries have obtained a written tax-exemption approval from their respective tax authorities and the other nine subsidiaries are in the process of performing EIT exemption procedures.  In the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the exempted income before income tax was $34.9 million, $23.2 million and $13.2 million, respectively.  We excluded such exempted income before income tax in determining our proper income tax provision.  For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the impact on our income tax resulting from the exemption of net income from preliminary processing of agricultural products was $8.7 million, $7.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively.  Our remaining five subsidiaries in the PRC are subject to the uniform 25% tax rate in relation to non-primary processing of agricultural products.

13

There is no consolidated enterprise income tax return concept in the PRC.  As a result, if one subsidiary has net income, that net income cannot be offset by the loss incurred by another subsidiary within the consolidated company.  Similarly, if one subsidiary has a net operating loss, that net operating loss cannot be offset by the net income in another subsidiary within the consolidated company.

Results of Operations

In fiscal 2009, we intend to continue to focus on the implementation of our strategic plan to continue the growth we have experienced in the last five years.  In June 2008, we placed into operation a new fresh meat production facility in Luoyang City, Henan Province with an annual capacity of 70,000 metric tons. During the third quarter of 2008, we completed a number of smaller projects to support our expanding operations, including a waste water solution system, a storage facility and the first phase of a residential dormitory complex, all for our production facilities in Changge City, Henan Province.  In November 2008, we placed into operation at our production facility in Changge City a new production line for prepared meat products with an annual capacity of approximately 28,800 metric tons.  In December 2008, we leased a production facility in Shenzhou City, Hebei Province for chilled and frozen pork production with an annual capacity of approximately 26,000 metric tons. In January 2009, we placed into operation a new fresh meat production facility in Yongcheng City, Henan Province with an annual production capacity of approximately 80,000 metric tons.

In 2009, we will continue to expand our production facilities. In March 2009, we will put into operation an expanded production line in our production facilities in Changge City with an annual capacity of approximately 30,000 metric tons for fruits and vegetables.  We plan to invest approximately $52.0 million, not including the cost of land use rights, to build a production facility and distribution center in Tianjin City.  This facility is being designed with a production capacity of 100,000 metric tons for chilled and frozen pork, of which 70% will be for chilled pork and 30% for frozen pork, and 36,000 metric tons for prepared foods. We expect to commence construction for this project in April 2009 and to put the new facility into use in the first half of 2010.  We also plan to invest approximately $21.0 million to build a production facility in Changge City, Henan Province.  This facility is being designed with a production capacity of 36,000 metric tons for prepared foods.  We expect to commence construction for this project in April 2009 and to put this facility into use in December 2009.

In fiscal 2009, we expect the demand for pork in the PRC and the results of the pork and pork products segment of our business to remain strong.  To take advantage of market changes, we are seeking to establish relationships with several multinational companies, including some of the leading pork processing companies in North America and their PRC-based subsidiaries.  While supply is expected to be ample, live hog prices are expected to remain stable in the first half of 2009 and, due to a change in the supply and demand for hogs in the market, are expected to increase in second half of 2009. We anticipate that our gross profit margin in fiscal 2009 will decrease slightly.  While we expect to increase our market share in the meat and meat products segment in our target markets in fiscal 2009, we anticipate that the global economic slowdown and the intense competition in the meat industry will adversely impact the operating results of the meat processing industry in the PRC as a whole.

Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007

Revenue. Total revenue increased from $291.4 million in fiscal 2007 to $539.8 million in fiscal 2008, which represented an increase of $248.4 million, or approximately 85%.  The increase in revenues was primarily due to increases in the sales volume of our pork and pork products and, to a lesser extent, to increases in prices of our pork and pork products.  The following table presents certain information regarding our sales by product division in fiscal 2008 and 2007.

	Sales by Division
	Year Ended December 31, 2008						Year Ended December 31, 2007
	Metric Tons		Sales Revenues (in millions)		Average Price/Metric Ton		Metric Tons		Sales Revenues (in millions)		Average Price/ MetricTon
Pork and Pork Products
Chilled pork		128,963	$	289.3	$	2,243		88,665	$	151.0	$	1,703
Frozen pork		86,085		187.9		2,183		62,819		102.6		1,633
Prepared pork products		24,621		53.7		2,181		16,416		29.2		1,779

Total		253,141	$	539.8	$	2,132		179,643	$	291.4	$	1,622

The pork market in China is highly fragmented and in the markets in which we sell our products, no single supplier has a significant impact on the market price of pork or related pork products. We have been pricing our products based on the value of our brand, the quality of our products, then-applicable hog prices and pricing trends for similar products in the regions in which we operate.  In fiscal 2008, we increased our sales of chilled pork products by approximately $138.3 million over the amount of our sales of such products in fiscal 2007.  As shown in the table above, our average price during the fiscal 2008 was approximately $2,243 per metric ton for chilled pork whereas our average price during the fiscal 2007 was only $1,703 per metric ton for chilled pork.  Assuming the average price for chilled pork during fiscal 2008 was the same as the average price during fiscal 2007, the impact from the increase in metric tons of chilled pork sold was $68.6 million.  Assuming the number of metric tons sold in fiscal 2008 was the same as the number of metric tons sold fiscal 2007, the impact from the increase in prices of our chilled pork products was $47.9 million.  The impact from the combination of changes in prices and volume of chilled pork products sold totaled $21.8 million.

In fiscal 2008, we increased our sales of frozen pork products by approximately $85.3 million over the amount of our sales of such products in fiscal 2007. Our average price during fiscal 2008 was approximately $2,183 per metric ton for frozen pork whereas our average price during fiscal 2007 was only $1,633 per metric ton for frozen pork.  Assuming the average price for frozen pork during fiscal 2008 was the same as the average price during fiscal 2007, the impact from the increase in metric tons of frozen pork sold was $38.0 million.  Assuming the number of metric tons sold in fiscal 2008 was the same as the number of metric tons sold in fiscal 2007, the impact from the increase in prices of our frozen pork products was $34.6 million.  The impact from the combination of changes in prices and volume of frozen pork products sold totaled $12.7 million.

In fiscal 2008, we increased our sales of prepared pork products by approximately $24.5 million over the amount of our sales of such products in fiscal 2007.  Our average price during fiscal 2008 was approximately $2,181 per metric ton for prepared pork products whereas our average price during fiscal 2007 was only $1,779 per metric ton for prepared pork products. Assuming the average price for prepared pork products during fiscal 2008 was the same as the average price during fiscal 2007, the impact from the increase in metric tons of prepared pork products sold was $14.6 million.  Assuming the number of metric tons sold in fiscal 2008 was the same as the number of metric tons sold in fiscal 2007, the impact from the increase in prices of our prepared pork products was $6.6 million.  The impact from the combination of changes in prices and volume of prepared pork products sold totaled $3.3 million.

15

The sales of meat and vegetable products are closely related to the particular regional markets in which our distribution channels are located.  Therefore, the increase in metric tons sold in fiscal 2008 was partly attributable to our effort to expand our distribution channels.  The following table sets forth the changes in our distribution channels:

	Numbers of Stores and Cities Generating Sales Volume
	December 31,				Net		Percentage
	2008		2007		Change		of Change
Showcase stores		132		113		19		17	%
Branded stores		961		927		34		4	%
Supermarket counters		1,968		1,899		69		4	%
Second-tier cities		106		93		13		14	%
Third-tier cities		324		287		37		13	%

The expansion in our distribution channels and geographical coverage has been a significant factor in the increase in our sales volume.  The following table sets forth our revenues by distribution channel for fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively.

	Sales by Distribution Channel
	($ in millions)
	Years Ended December 31				Net			Percentage
	2008		2007		Change			of Change
Branded stores	$	226.8	$	129.3	$	97.5			75	%
Food services distributors		155.7		60.2		95.5			159	%
Restaurants and noncommercial		152.0		85.8		66.2			77	%
Export		5.3		16.1		(10.8	)		(67	)%
Total	$	539.8	$	291.4	$	248.4			85	%

The increase in sales to different distribution channels was mainly due to the following factors:

· our production capacity has increased since our Luoyang production facilities commenced production in the second quarter of 2008;

· we have built up our brand image and brand recognition through advertisements on China Central TV and local television and promotion;

· we have increased the number of stores and other channels through which we sell our products; and

16

· we believe consumers are placing increased importance on food safety and are willing to pay higher prices for safe food products.

During fiscal 2008, revenues from export sales decreased to $5.3 million, which represented a decline of $10.8 million, or approximately 67%, as compared to fiscal 2007.  The decrease in export sales was primarily due to the reduction of our export sales efforts during the 2008 period due to the higher gross profit margins we could achieve during that period by selling our pork products domestically in the PRC.

Costs of Sales.  All of our meat products are derived from the same raw materials, which are live hogs.  Our vegetable and fruit products are purchased from farmers located close to our processing facility in Changge City, Henan Province.  As a result, the purchasing costs of live hogs and vegetables and fruits represent substantially all of our costs of raw materials. Our costs of sales primarily include our costs of raw materials, labor costs and overhead.  Of our total cost of sales, our cost of raw materials typically accounts for approximately 96% to 97%, our overhead typically accounts for 2% to 2.5% and our labor costs typically accounts for 1% to 1.3%, with slight variations from period to period. Our cost of sales increased from $253.9 million in fiscal 2007 to $471.3 million in fiscal 2008, which represented an increase of $217.4 million, or approximately 86%. The increase in our cost of sales was consistent with our increase in sales revenue.

	Costs of Sales by Division
	Year Ended  December 31, 2008						Year Ended  December 31, 2007
	Metric Tons		Amount (in millions)		Average Cost/ Metric Ton		Metric Tons		Amount (in millions)		Average Cost/ MetricTon
Pork and Pork Products
Chilled pork		128,963	$	253.2	$	1,963		88,665	$	131.8	$	1,486
Frozen pork		86,085		168.6		1,959		62,819		91.3		1,453
Prepared pork products		24,621		42.0		1,706		16,416		23.6		1,438
Vegetables and Fruits		13,472		7.5		557		11,743		7.2		613
Total		253,141	$	471.3	$	1,862		179,643	$	253.9	$	1,413

Our gross profit margin (gross profit divided by sales revenue) decreased from 12.9% in fiscal 2007 to 12.7% in fiscal 2008.  The slight decrease in our gross profit margin during fiscal 2008 was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue from products that were sold through low-margin distribution channels (wholesalers), which resulted from our decision to enhance our capacity utilization of our newly-built facilities that were put into service during fiscal 2008.  Consequently, our gross profit margin was lower than the level we would expect to achieve when we successfully penetrate new regional markets and increase our sales through higher-margin channels, such as our retail channels. In addition, the decrease in our gross profit margin during fiscal 2008 was attributable to the increase in labor costs we experienced as a result of the implementation of new labor laws in the PRC and the increase we experienced in our depreciation expense resulting from the newly-built production facilities that were put into service during fiscal 2008.  We intend to adjust our production levels and product mix and the percentages of our sales through our different sales channels in fiscal 2009 to stablize our gross profit margin.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased from $10.3 million in fiscal 2007 to $17.9 million in fiscal 2008, which represented an increase of $7.6 million, or approximately 74%.  As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased from 3.5% in fiscal 2007 to 3.3% in fiscal 2008.

17

The increase in general and administrative expenses during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 was primarily the result of

· a $2.0 million increase in salary expense due to the expansion of our business, which required us to hire more employees, and certain salary increases that were implemented in 2008 to bring our compensation levels more in line with industry and regional standards;

· a $1.7 million increase in advertising expenses in 2008 to build up our brand image and brand recognition;

· a $1.1 million increase in option amortization expense resulting from the options we granted at the end of 2007;

· a $1.0 million increase in consulting fees incurred in connection with the listing of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market; and

· a $0.7 million increase in training expenses as we provided more training to our management and staff to support our expansion.

These increases were partly offset by a $2.3 million decrease in non-cash compensation expenses related to the escrow arrangement we implemented in connection with our 2006 private placement.

Selling Expenses . Selling expenses increased from $5.0 million in fiscal 2007 to $9.9 million in fiscal 2008, which represented an increase of $4.9 million, or approximately 98%.  The increase in selling expenses was primarily the result of our increased sales of pork and pork products.  As a percentage of revenue, selling expenses increased to 1.8% in fiscal 2008 from 1.7% in fiscal 2007.  The increase in selling expenses was primarily due to a $2.3 million increase in transportation costs due to our increased sales of products and a $1.2 million increase in salary expense due to the expansion of our business, which required us to hire additional employees, and certain increased compensation levels as discussed above.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased from $0.2 million in fiscal 2007 to $0.7 million in fiscal 2008, which represented an increase of $0.5 million, or approximately 250%. The increase was due to our increased investment in new product development, our cooperation with different agriculture universities and institutes and an increase in our salary and welfare expenses because we employed more scientists in our research and development group.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased from $2.5 million in fiscal 2007 to $3.4 million in fiscal 2008, which represented an increase of $0.9 million, or approximately 36%.  The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of an increase of $20.2 million in short-term bank loans, an increase of $21.8 million in long-term bank loans and an increase of $4.3 million in capital lease obligations, which increases were partly offset by an increase in interest income.

Other Income, Exchange Gain and Government Subsidies.  Other income, exchange gain and government subsidies decreased from $0.5 million in fiscal 2007 to $0.4 million in fiscal 2008.

Income Taxes. The effective tax rate in the PRC on income generated from the sale of prepared products is 25% and there is no income tax on income generated from the sale of raw products, including raw meat products and raw fruits and vegetable products.  The increase of $1.0 million in the provision for income taxes in fiscal 2008 over fiscal 2007 resulted from the increased sales of prepared meat products, which was partly offset by the decrease in the income tax rate from 33% in fiscal 2007 to 25% in fiscal 2008 and from the $0.6 million increase in the provision for income tax due to the donation to our company by certain of our shareholders of a company payable to such shareholders, which we discuss in more detail in Note 10 to our audited financial statements.

Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006

Revenue.  Total revenue increased from $143.8 million in fiscal 2006 to $291.4 million in fiscal 2007, which represented an increase of $147.6 million, or approximately 103%. The increase in revenues was primarily due to increased sales in our meat and meat products segment resulting from the effects of the continuing increases in the number of our branded stores, increased sales to food service distributors and increased market prices for pork products in the PRC during the year.

The following table presents certain information regarding our sales by product division for fiscal 2007 and 2006.

As discussed above, the pork market in the PRC is highly fragmented and in the markets in which we sell our products, no single supplier has a significant impact on the market price of pork or related pork products. We have been pricing our products based on the value of our brand, the quality of our products, hog prices in the applicable period and pricing trends for similar products in the regions in which we operate.  In fiscal 2007, we increased our sales of chilled pork products by approximately $79.2 million over the amount of our sales of such products in fiscal 2006. As shown in the table above, our average price during fiscal 2007 was approximately $1,703 per metric ton for chilled pork whereas our average price during fiscal 2006 was only $1,211 per metric ton for chilled pork.  Assuming the average price for chilled pork during fiscal 2007 was the same as the average price during fiscal 2006, the impact from the increase in metric tons of chilled pork sold was $35.6 million.  Assuming the number of metric tons sold in fiscal 2007 was the same as the number of metric tons sold in fiscal 2006, the impact from the increase in prices of our chilled pork products was $29.2 million. The impact from the combination of changes in prices and volume of chilled pork products sold totaled $14.4 million.

In fiscal 2007, we increased our sales of frozen pork products by approximately $51.7 million over the amount of our sales of such products in fiscal 2006. Our average price during fiscal 2007 was approximately $1,633 per metric ton for frozen pork whereas our average price during fiscal 2006 was only $1,162 per metric ton for frozen pork.  Assuming the average price for frozen pork during fiscal 2007 was the same as the average price during fiscal 2006, the impact from the increase in metric tons of frozen pork sold was $22.1 million.  Assuming the number of metric tons sold in fiscal 2007 was the same as the number of metric tons sold in fiscal 2006, the impact from the increase in prices of our frozen pork products was $20.6 million.  The impact from the combination of changes in prices and volume of frozen pork products sold totaled $9.0 million.

In fiscal 2007, we increased our sales of prepared pork products by approximately $13.8 million over the amount of our sales of such products in fiscal 2006. Our average price during fiscal 2007 was approximately $1,779 per metric ton for prepared pork products whereas our average price during fiscal 2006 was only $1,565 per metric ton for prepared pork products. Assuming the average price for prepared pork products during fiscal 2007 was the same as the average price during fiscal 2006, the impact from the increase in metric tons of prepared pork products sold was $10.3 million.  Assuming the number of metric tons sold in fiscal 2007 was the same as the number of metric tons sold in fiscal 2006, the impact from the increase in prices of our prepared pork products was $2.1 million.  The impact from the combination of changes in prices and volume of prepared pork products sold totaled $1.4 million.

The sales of meat and vegetable products are closely related to the particular regional markets in which our distribution channels are located.  Therefore, the increase in metric tons sold in fiscal 2007 was partly attributable to our effort to expand our distribution channels.  The following table sets forth the changes in our distribution channels:

	Numbers of Store and Cities Generating Sales Volume

Second-tier cities		93		75		18		24	%
Third-tier cities		287		226		61		27	%

The expansion in our distribution channels and geographical coverage has been a significant factor in the increase in our sales volume.  The following table sets forth our revenues by distribution channel in fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The increase in sales to different distribution channels was primarily due to the following factors:

· our production capacity has increased since our Zhumadian, Anyang and Tianjin production facilities commenced production in the second and third quarters of 2007;

· we have built up our brand image and brand recognition through advertisements on China Central TV and local television and promotion;

· we have increased the number of stores and other channels through which we sell our products; and

· we believe consumers are placing increased importance on food safety and are willing to pay higher prices for safe food products.

In fiscal 2007, revenues from export sales increased to $16.1 million, which represented an increase of $3.9 million, or approximately 32%, as compared to fiscal 2006.  The increase in export sales was primarily due to our export sales efforts during the 2007 period due to the higher gross profit margins we could achieve during that period.

Cost of Sales.  As discussed above, all of our meat products are derived from the same raw materials, which are live hogs.  Our vegetable and fruit products are purchased from farmers located close to our processing facility in Changge City, Henan Province.  As a result, the purchasing costs of live hogs and vegetables and fruits represent substantially all of our costs of raw materials. Our costs of sales primarily include our costs of raw materials, labor costs and overhead.  Of our total cost of sales, our cost of raw materials typically accounts for approximately 96% to 97%, our overhead typically accounts for 2% to 2.5% and our labor costs typically accounts for 1% to 1.3%, with slightly variations from period to period.

Our gross profit margin (gross profit divided by sales revenue) decreased from 14.3% in fiscal 2006 to 12.9% in fiscal 2007.  The decrease in our gross profit margin during fiscal 2007 was primarily due to an increase in the cost of raw materials and our strategic decision to take steps to increase our market share and the utilization rate of our production capacity at a time when our production capacity increased due to the opening of new production facilities during the year.  As a result, our gross profit margin was lower than the level we would expect to achieve when we fully integrate our new production facilities and open new regional markets for our products. We intend to adjust our production levels and product mix and the percentages of our sales through our different sales channels in the coming quarters to increase our gross profit margin.  Our gross profit margin in fiscal 2007 also declined because of the increase in our depreciation expense resulting from the newly-built production facilities that were put into use during 2007.

21

General and Administrative Expenses.   General and administrative expenses increased from $5.1 million in fiscal 2006 to $10.3 million in fiscal 2007, which represented an increase of $5.2 million, or approximately 102%.  As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses remained at 3.5% in fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007.  In each of fiscal 2007 and 2006, we incurred a non-cash compensation expense in the amount of $2,250,116 in connection with the release from escrow to certain of our employees of shares of common stock that had been deposited into escrow by such employees in connection with our January 2006 private placement. On January 31, 2006, we completed a private placement in which we sold for an aggregate purchase price of $27.6 million, 3.45 million units, each unit consisting of two shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock.  In connection with this financing, nine individuals, including six of our employees, including Mr. Xianfu Zhu, our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, and Mr. Baoke Ben, our Executive Vice President and a director of our company, deposited into escrow an aggregate of 1,125,056 shares of our common stock.  Under the terms of such escrow arrangement, 50% of such shares were to be released to the investors in the private placement if our audited net income in fiscal 2006, subject to certain adjustments, was less than $7.927 million, and the remaining 50% are to be released to such investors if our audited net income for the fiscal year 2007, subject to certain adjustments, was less than $15 million.  Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the release of any of such escrow shares to any of our employees based on our fulfillment of stated performance thresholds constitutes a compensatory plan to such employees, which requires us to record a corresponding compensation expense in our financing statements.  As we satisfied the performance thresholds for fiscal 2006 and 2007, 50% of the escrowed shares were released to employee stockholders in April 2007, and the other 50% of the escrowed shares were released to employee stockholders in April 2008.

During fiscal 2007, we adopted a more conservative doubtful account allowance rate estimate and increased our reserve to an amount equal to the aggregate amount of those accounts that have not been collected within one year plus the sum of 10% of the aggregate amount of the accounts receivable of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Henan Zhongpin, plus 5% of the aggregate amount of the accounts receivable less than one year old for all of our other subsidiaries.  The increased amount of $0.9 million in our allowance for bad debts in fiscal 2007 was recorded as a general and administrative expense.  The net amount of our general and administrative expenses also increased in fiscal 2007 due to the increased scale of our operations.

Selling Expenses.  Selling expenses increased from $3.5 million in fiscal 2006 to $5.0 million in fiscal 2007, which represented an increase of $1.5 million, or approximately 43%. As a percentage of revenue, selling expenses decreased from 2.4% in fiscal 2006 to 1.7% in fiscal 2007. The increase in selling expenses was primarily the result of the increased scale of our operations.

Penalty Expense.  In fiscal 2006, we incurred a non-recurring expense in the aggregate amount of $8.4 million as a result of payments we made in December 2006 to the holders of our Series A convertible preferred stock and related stock purchase warrants because of our failure to register in a timely manner for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion or exercise of such securities.  Such payments included cash payments in the aggregate amount of $1.0 million and our issuance of an aggregate of 379,743 shares of our common stock valued at $2.9 million, and warrants to purchase 884,799 shares of our common stock valued at $4.5 million.  We did not incur an expense of this nature in fiscal 2007.

22

Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased from $1.2 million in fiscal 2006 to $2.5 million in fiscal 2007, which represented an increase of $1.3 million, or approximately 108%. The increase in interest expense was primarily a result of increased short-term bank loans. Our average outstanding bank debt increased by approximately $23.0 million from $20.5 million in fiscal 2006 to $43.5 million in fiscal 2007, primarily due to our increased working capital requirements.  Our weighted average borrowing rate increased from 5.83% in fiscal 2006 to 6.43% in fiscal 2007.

Other Income, Exchange Gain and Government Subsidies. Other income, exchange gain and government subsidies decreased from $2.4 million in fiscal 2006 to $0.5 million in fiscal 2007, which represented a decrease of $1.9 million or approximately 79%. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease of $2.2 million in allowance income.

Income Taxes.  The effective tax rate in the PRC on income generated from the sale of prepared products is 33% and there is no income tax on income generated from the sale of raw products, including raw meat products and raw fruits and vegetable products. The increase of $0.9 million in the provision for income taxes in fiscal 2007 over fiscal 2006 resulted from an increase of $2.6 million in our net income from the sale of prepared products during fiscal 2007.

Segment Information

Under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, we operate in only one segment: meat production.  Our fruit and vegetable operations, both financially and operationally, do not represent a significant enough portion of our business to constitute a separate segment.  However, our product lines have been divided into two divisions: pork and pork products, and vegetables and fruits.

Our pork and pork products division is involved primarily in the processing of live hogs into fresh, frozen and processed pork products.  Our pork and pork products division markets its products domestically to our branded stores, food retailers, foodservice distributors, restaurant operators and noncommercial foodservice establishments, such as schools, hotel chains, healthcare facilities, the military and other food processors, as well as to international markets.

Our vegetables and fruits division is involved primarily in the processing of fresh vegetables and fruits. We contract with more than 100 farms in Henan Province and nearby areas to produce high-quality vegetable varieties and fruits suitable for export purposes. The proximity of the contracted farms to our operations ensures freshness from harvest to processing. We contract to grow more than 20 categories of vegetables and fruits, including asparagus, sweet corn, broccoli, mushrooms, lima beans, strawberries and capsicum.

The following tables set forth our sales in metric tons and production processed in metric tons by division in fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006 and the percentage increases for each division between fiscal periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations over the three years ended December 31, 2008 primarily through cash from operating activities, borrowings under our lines of credit with various commercial banks in the PRC, net proceeds from the sale of our equity securities and the proceeds from the exercise of certain of our outstanding stock purchase warrants.  In January 2006, we completed a private placement of our Series A convertible preferred stock and common stock purchase warrants and received net proceeds of approximately $23.1 million.  In October 2007, we completed a private placement of our common stock and received net proceeds of approximately $46.4 million.  During 2008, we consummated a capital lease transaction and obtained net proceeds of $6.6 million.  At December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $41.9 million, $45.1 million and $21.7 million, respectively.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $65.8 million, $0.5 million and $9.5 million in fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Fiscal Year 2008

We have established and implemented corporate policies to manage our cash flows generated by our operating activities.  We have established strict credit policies to manage the credit we give to our customers, and we give different credit terms to different types of customers in different sales channels.  For supermarket customers, the credit terms are generally two to four weeks.  For showcase stores and branded stores, the credit terms are generally cash sales within one week.  For food distributors, the credit terms are generally two weeks.  For restaurants and non-commercial customers, the credit terms are from one week to one month.  These credit terms are subject to negotiation if requested by our customers, but any adjustment must be approved by designated management.  In general, we ask for credit terms from our suppliers.  We generally pay for the hogs we purchase within one week after the hogs pass our health and quality examinations.

In fiscal 2008, net cash provided by operating activities was $65.8 million, which represented an increase of $65.3 million as compared to the net cash provided by operating activities of $0.5 million in fiscal 2007. Of the $65.3  million increase, net income accounted for $12.9 million, non-cash items accounted for $4.3 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities accounted for $48.1 million. Of the non-cash items, depreciation and amortization accounted for $2.9 million of the change due to the fact that more plants, equipment and machinery were put into use during fiscal 2008.

25

Cash flow from changes in operating assets and liabilities accounted for approximately $48.1 million of the increase, as compared to the negative cash flow of $23.9 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities in fiscal 2007. Of the $48.1 million increase, $25.4 million was attributable to the change of cash flow from inventories due to the fact that our inventory balance at December 31, 2008 was reduced as our sales increased during the year and we built up our inventory at the end of 2007 as we expected pork prices to increase in early 2008; $4.6 million was attributable to the change of cash flow from accounts receivable due to the fact that the collection of accounts receivable in fiscal 2008 was significantly improved; $5.5 million was attributable to the change of cash flow from other receivables due to the fact that the collection of other receivables in fiscal 2008 improved; and we consumed $8.0 million more on purchase deposit due to the changes in market situation in hogs supply.

 Net cash used in investing activities was $120.7 million in fiscal 2008, which represented an increase of $67.5 million as compared to the net cash of $53.2 million used by investing activities in fiscal 2007. We spent $47.1 million more on the costs of construction for new production facilities, $8.2 million more on equipment and machinery and $4.8 million more on deposits for purchase of land usage rights in fiscal 2008 compared to the prior year. The cash spent on building new production facilities was a result of implementing our development strategy of deploying new production facilities to increase our geographical market coverage.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $49.0 million in fiscal 2008, a decrease of $25.4 million compared to the net cash provided by financing activities of $74.4 million in fiscal 2007. We received $21.6 million in net proceeds from long-term bank loans in fiscal 2008 and no such proceeds in the prior year. We received $62.8 million of net proceeds from the issuance of common stock in 2007 and we did not have any such activities in 2008.  We received $1.5 million of net proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants during 2008 and we did not have such activities during 2007. In addition, we issued $14.6 million more of bank notes during fiscal 2008 and we paid off short-term loans by $4.7 million during fiscal 2008 compared to the prior year.

At December 31, 2008, Henan Zhongpin had short-term bank and governmental loans in the aggregate amount of $67.9 million with a weighted average interest rate per annum of 6.30%, and lines of credit with aggregate credit availability of $175.4 million, as follows:

* 29% of the outstanding principal amount of this loan bears interest at the rate of 6.02% per annum and the remaining principal amount of this loan is interest free.  All repayments are applied first to the interest-bearing portion of this loan.

Of our outstanding short-term indebtedness at December 31, 2008, $38.5 million aggregate principal amount of loans was secured by our land and plants located in the PRC and $29.3 million aggregate principal amount of loans was guaranteed by Xuji Group Co., Ltd., an unaffiliated third party.

In April 2008, Henan Zhongpin entered into a mutual guarantee agreement with Xuji Group Co., Ltd. (“Xuji Group”), a group corporation based in Henan Province, PRC that is not affiliated with our company or with any of our subsidiaries.  The mutual guarantee has an effective term of April 1, 2008 through March 30, 2009 and is only applicable to bank loans received by either party.  Pursuant to this mutual guarantee, Henan Zhongpin has agreed to guarantee bank loans of Xuji Group in an amount up to $44.0 million, and Xuji Group has in turn agreed to guarantee Henan Zhongpin’s bank loans in an amount up to $44.0 million.  None of our assets have been pledged by Henan Zhongpin to secure its obligations under its guarantee agreement.  This mutual guarantee may be terminated by either party at any time; provided, however, that any loan guarantees in effect prior to termination shall remain in effect.

27

The business purpose for the mutual guarantee is to provide each party with a credit line from banks that would have otherwise been unavailable absent the guarantee.  As bank credit loans are generally unavailable in China, companies are required to provide either a pledge of assets, a third-party guarantee or a combination of both in order to receive loans.  In the case of pledges, companies can pledge their assets, including, among other things, land, buildings and machines, to banks as collateral to secure loans; however, banks generally will only loan up to 50% to 70% of the value of the pledged assets. Conversely, if a company provides the banks with a guarantee agreement, the banks generally will loan up to 90% to 100% of the amount being guaranteed.

Henan Zhongpin’s obligation as guarantor to repay loans on behalf of Xuji Group will only arise if Xuji Group cannot repay its loans and proceeds from liquidating Xuji Group’s pledged assets are insufficient to cover its outstanding debt.  Henan Zhongpin’s actual liability for such guarantee, should the guarantee obligation become due, will vary depending on the difference between the outstanding bank loan plus accrued interest and the proceeds received for the liquidated collateral.  We did not pledge any of our assets in connection with the mutual guarantee agreement as this gaurantee was not based on credit quality concerns, but rather based on the local banks' requirements.  In the event we or any of our subsidiaries is required to pay all or a portion of any loans covered by the mutual guarantee, we or such subsidiary would seek reimbursement for such payment from Xuji Group.

At December 31, 2008, Henan Zhongpin has guaranteed $38.1 million of Xuji Group’s bank loans. As a result, the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) we could be obligated to make under the mutual guarantee at such date was $38.1 million.  As of the date of this report, we have not recorded any liability on our balance sheet with respect to this mutual guarantee as we believe, based upon our continuing due diligence on Xuji Group and its business, that our liability thereunder remains contingent.

In May 2008, Henan Zhongpin entered into a credit agreement with Rabobank Nederland Shanghai Branch that provided for a one-year short-term loan of RMB 20 million ($2.9 million) and a three-year term loan of up to RMB 80 million ($11.8 million).  Upon execution of the credit agreement, the full amount of the short-term loan was funded by the bank.  On June 16, 2008, the first 50% of the long-term loan was funded by the bank.  The remaining 50% of the long-term loan was drawn down by Henan Zhongpin on July 10, 2008.  Amounts currently outstanding under the long-term loan bear interest at the rate of 7.56% per annum, which was the interest rate published by the People’s Bank of China on July 10, 2008 for loans with the same or similar terms.  The accrued interest on this loan is payable on a quarterly basis.  Of the outstanding principal under the long-term loan, 25% is payable 24 months after the first drawdown date (June 16, 2008), 37.5% is payable 30 months after the first drawdown date and the balance is payable 36 months after the first drawn down date.

Borrowings under the term loan agreement are guaranteed by our subsidiaries, Anyang Zhongpin Food Co., Ltd. and Zhumadian Zhongpin Food Ltd., are secured by mortgages on our prepared pork production facilities located in Changge City, Henan Province and are subject to various financial and non-financial covenants, including a debt to net worth ratio, a debt to EBIDTA ratio, an interest coverage ratio, a required minimum tangible net worth, restrictions on investments in fixed assets and financial assets, on inter-company indebtedness and on consolidated contingent liabilities and a requirement that a minimum percentage of Henan Zhongpin’s consolidated EBITDA be generated by Henan Zhongpin and the guarantors. Henan Zhongpin also is prohibited from paying dividends in an amount in excess of 50% of its retained earnings during the term of the credit facility.

In April 2008, Henan Zhongpin entered into a loan agreement with CITIC Industrial Bank pursuant to which Henan Zhongpin borrowed RMB 30 million ($4.4 million).  All amounts borrowed under the loan agreement bear interest at a floating rate that was based on the prime rate published by the People’s Bank of China for the loans with the same or similar terms on the drawdown date (7.56% per annum on that drawdown date) and are payable on January 23, 2010.  The accrued interest on this loan is payable quarterly on the 20th of the last month of the quarter since the drawdown date.   Borrowings under the loan agreement are guaranteed by a third party located in Henan Province.

In July 2000, Henan Zhongpin entered into a loan agreement with Bank of Communications, Zhengzhou Branch, which is the intermediary bank for a 40-year term loan in the amount of $2,504,969 from the Canadian government.  Under the terms of the loan agreement, 58% of the principal amount ($1,452,882) of this loan bears interest at the fixed rate of 6.02% per annum and remaining principal amount of this loan is interest free. The loan is repayable in a fixed amount of $145,671, which includes both principal and interest, that is payable on a semi-annual basis through May 15, 2042.  Borrowings under the loan agreement are guaranteed by the Financing Department, Henan Province.

In December 2008, Henan Zhongpin entered into a loan agreement with Bank of Communications pursuant to which Henan Zhongpin borrowed RMB 40 million ($5.9 million). All amounts borrowed under the loan agreement bear interest at a floating rate that was based on the prime rate published by the People’s Bank of China for loans with the same or similar terms on the drawdown date (5.67% per annum on that drawdown date) and are payable on November 27, 2010.  The accrued interest on this loan is payable quarterly on the 20th of last month of each quarter since the drawdown date.   Borrowings under the loan agreement are secured by the land use right, property and plant of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Luoyang Zhongpin Food Co., Ltd.

On November 5, 2008, we entered into a sale-leaseback agreement with CMB Finance Lease Company (“CMB Finance”) pursuant to which we sold to CMB Finance equipment with a book net value of $6.8 million for $4.6 million and leased such equipment back.  Our lease payments for this equipment are paid on a monthly basis over a three-year period and consist of a fixed payment based upon a 36-month amortization of the purchase price plus an interest component that is based upon the interest rate announced from time to time by the People’s Bank of China for three-year loans.  At December 31, 2008, our monthly rental fee under the agreement was $142,253, which included an interest component calculated at the rate of 7.02% per annum.  We have the right at the end of the lease term to repurchase all of the equipment for a RMB 1.00 purchase price.

We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with our available lines of credit ($175.4 million at December 31, 2008), will be sufficient to finance our investment in new facilities with budgeted capital expenditures of $78.3 million over the next 12 months and to satisfy our working capital needs.  We intend to satisfy our short-term debt obligations that mature over the next 12 months through additional short-term bank loans, in most cases by rolling the maturing loans into new short-term loans with the same lenders as we have done in the past. We also we intend to optimize our loan structure by replacing certain of our short-term indebtedness with additional long-term debt.

Fiscal Year 2007

Cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2007 consisted primarily of our net profit of $18.5 million, an increase of $3.6 million in other receivables, an increase of $2.8 million in accounts payable and other payables due to improved payment terms from suppliers, an increase of $2.5 million in non-cash compensation expense adjustment, an increase of $2.1 million in depreciation expense, an increase of $1.3 million in accrued liability and an increase of $1.1 million in deposits from clients.  Cash used in operating activities in fiscal 2007 was primarily attributable to an increase of $14.5 million in inventory, an increase of $5.8 million in purchase deposits in order to secure our supply of live hogs, an increase of $4.9 million in accounts receivables, an increase of $0.4 million in taxes payable, an increase of $2.9 million in other receivables and an increase of $1.5 million in prepaid expense and deferred charges. The increase in both accounts receivable and inventory levels during the period was primarily due to our increased sales, increased selling prices and increased costs of live hogs.  During 2007, management focused on reducing the average age of our accounts receivable.  Our average accounts receivable turnover days decreased from approximately 30 days in fiscal 2006 to approximately 20 days in fiscal 2007.  At the same time, our average inventory turnover days increased from approximately 18 days in fiscal 2006 to approximately 26 days in fiscal 2007.

Net cash used in investing activities was $53.2 million in fiscal 2007. At December 31, 2007, our investment in facilities construction in progress increased by approximately $29.4 million as compared to the amount of such investment at December 31, 2006.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, a total of $6.9 million was invested in the purchase of fixed assets. In addition, we expended an additional $13.5 million for an investment in land use rights during the year ended December 31, 2007.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $74.4 million in fiscal 2007 and $27.0 million in fiscal 2006.  In fiscal 2007, cash provided by financing activities included the net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $46.4 million, net proceeds from short-term loans of $49.7 million and the net proceeds of $16.4 from the exercise of certain of our outstanding stock purchase warrants. The net cash used in financing activities included the repayment of indebtedness in the aggregate amount of $28.4 million.

Fiscal Year 2006

Net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2006 was primarily attributable to the net income of $4.1 million generated in fiscal 2006 and an increase of $9.8 million in accounts payable and other payables due to improved payment terms to suppliers.  In addition, due to our failure to have our registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission during fiscal 2006, we accrued $8.4 million of penalty expense, of which $1.0 million was paid by cash and $7.3 million was paid by issuing shares of our common stock and warrants.  The net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2006 also included $2.3 million in non-cash compensation adjustment.  Net cash used in operating activities in fiscal 2006 was primarily attributable to increases in inventories, accounts receivable and taxes payable in the amounts of $7.7 million, $3.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively.  During fiscal 2006, management also focused on reducing the average age of our accounts receivable.  Our average accounts receivable turnover days decreased from approximately 44 days in fiscal 2005 to approximately 30 days in fiscal 2006.  In addition, our average inventory turnover days increased from approximately 16 days in fiscal 2005 to approximately 18 days in fiscal 2006. 

Net cash used in investing activities was $26.3 million in fiscal 2006. In fiscal 2006, construction in progress in the amount of $22.0 million for the construction of Zhongpin Industrial Park II was completed and transferred to fixed assets.  During fiscal 2006, we invested an additional $17.1 million in construction in progress and expended $1.8 million for the purchase of fixed assets.  In addition, we expended $7.4 million for an investment in land use rights during fiscal 2006.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $27.0 million in fiscal 2006. In fiscal 2006, cash provided by financing activities included net proceeds from the issuance of Series A convertible preferred stock and common stock purchase warrants of $23.1 million and net proceeds of short-term loans of $30.1 million, and the net cash used in financing activities included the repayment of short-term indebtedness in the aggregate amount of $25.2 million, the repayment of long-term indebtedness in the amount of $0.4 million and the repayment of bank overdrafts of $0.6 million.

Inflation and Seasonality

While demand for our products in general is relatively high before the Chinese New Year in January or February each year and lower thereafter, we do not believe our operations have been materially affected by inflation or seasonality.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”).  SFAS 141(R) changes accounting for acquisitions that close beginning of 2009.  SFAS No. 141R broadens the guidance of SFAS No. 141, extending its applicability to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses.  It broadens the fair value measurement and recognition of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and interests transferred as a result of business combinations.  SFAS No. 141R expands on required disclosures to improve the statement users’ abilities to evaluate the nature and financial effects of business combinations.  SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  We are currently assessing the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 141R may have on its financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, An Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”).  SFAS No. 160 requires that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary be reported as equity and the amount of consolidated net income specifically attributable to the noncontrolling interest be identified in the consolidated financial statements.  It also calls for consistency in the manner of reporting changes in the parent’s ownership interest and requires fair value measurement of any noncontrolling equity investment retained in a deconsolidation.  SFAS No. 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.We do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our financial statements.

31

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting No.161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 161”). The provisions of SFAS No. 161 are effective for us as of January 1, 2009.  SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about (i) how and why we use derivative instruments, (ii) how we account for derivative instruments and related hedged items under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect our financial results. We do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1,"Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" (“APB 14-1”).  APB 14-1 will require entities to separately account for the liability and equity components of a convertible debt security by measuring the fair value of a similar nonconvertible debt security when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods.  APB 14-1 will require entities to retroactively separate the liability and equity components of such debt on the entities’ balance sheets on a fair value basis.  APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  We do not expect that the adoption of APB 14-1 will have material impact on our financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS No. 162”).  SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  We do not expect any significant changes to our financial accounting and reporting as a result of the issuance of SFAS No. 162.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Zhongpin Inc.

Henan Province, P.R.China

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Zhongpin Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period ended December 31, 2008.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Zhongpin Inc. at December 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Zhongpin Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated on March 15, 2009, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

1.  ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Zhongpin Inc. is incorporated in the State of Delaware as a holding company and Henan Zhongpin Food Share Company Limited (“Henan Zhongpin”) was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).  Henan Zhongpin is headquartered in Changge City, Henan Province. Through its subsidiaries, Henan Zhongpin is principally engaged in the production of pork, prepared meat products and fruits and vegetables, and the retail sales of pork, processed pork products, fruits and vegetables and other grocery items to customers throughout the PRC and other export countries, either directly or through its subsidiaries.

Zhongpin Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware under the name “Strong Technical Inc.” for the purpose of operating a personnel outsourcing service that provides skilled workers to industry.  On March 30, 2005, an 82.4% controlling interest in the company was acquired by Halter Capital Corporation and all previous operations were discontinued.

On May 20, 2005, Henan Zhongpin Food Co., Ltd. (“HZFC”) was established in the PRC for the sole purpose of holding the capital stock of Henan Zhongpin and its subsidiaries. The owners of Henan Zhongpin formed HZFC with an initial investment of 16,000,000 Renminbi (“RMB”) ($1,932,367).  HZFC acquired Henan Zhongpin by paying 15,040,000 RMB ($1,816,425) to the stockholders of Henan Zhongpin in exchange for 100% ownership of Henan Zhongpin. The transaction was accounted for as a transfer of entities under common control, wherein Henan Zhongpin was the continuing entity with an increase in registered capital of 960,000 RMB ($115,942).  The historical financial statements of HZFC are essentially those of Henan Zhongpin shown with an increase in capital as if the transfer had taken place at the beginning of the first period presented.

On July 21, 2005, Falcon Link Investment Limited (“Falcon”) was incorporated in the territory of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) as a holding company for the purpose of owning all of the equity interests of HZFC. Falcon acquired 100% ownership of HZFC by paying 21,285,300 RMB ($2,650,000) to the stockholders of HZFC, who also were the stockholders of Falcon.  The transaction was accounted for as a transfer of entities under common control, wherein HZFC was the continuing entity.  The historical financial statements of Falcon are essentially those of HZFC and are shown as if the transfer had taken place at the beginning of the first period presented.

On January 30, 2006, Zhongpin, Inc., then known as Strong Technical Inc., consummated an agreement with the shareholders of Falcon whereby Zhongpin Inc. issued 11,250,000 shares of common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding stock of Falcon.  Immediately prior to the transaction there were 502,568 shares outstanding as compared to 11,752,568 shares outstanding immediately following the transaction.  Consequently, Falcon became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zhongpin Inc.  The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition resulting in a recapitalization of Falcon, wherein Falcon’s historical financial statements became those of Zhongpin Inc., retrospectively restated to reflect the adopted capital structure of Zhongpin Inc. as if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the first period presented.  These financial statements have been adjusted to reflect such restatement.

On January 31, 2006, in conjunction with acquisition of Falcon, Zhongpin Inc. (then known as Strong Technical Inc.) sold for $8.00 per unit 3.45 million units, each consisting of two shares of Series A convertible preferred stock and a five-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a purchase price of $5.00 per share.  Each share of preferred stock is convertible into one share of common stock.  The shares of Series A convertible preferred stock originally issued in such transaction were convertible into an aggregate of 6,900,000 shares of common stock and the warrants originally issued in such transaction were exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 3,450,000 shares of common stock.

1.  ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)

On February 16, 2006, Zhongpin Inc. (then known as Strong Technical Inc.) amended its articles of incorporation to change its name from Strong Technical Inc. to Zhongpin Inc.  In the same amendment, the company changed its authorized common stock to 100,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001 per share and its authorized preferred stock to 25,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001 per share.

On February 16, 2006, Zhongpin Inc. effected a 1:35.349 reverse split of its outstanding common stock. Immediately prior to the split, 415,442,354 shares of common stock were outstanding as compared to 11,752,568 shares of common stock outstanding immediately following the split.  The aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of its outstanding shares of Series A convertible preferred stock was reduced from 243,908,100 shares of common stock to 6,900,000 shares of common stock, and the aggregate number of shares of its common stock issuable upon the exercise of its outstanding warrants was reduced from 121,954,050 shares of common stock to 3,450,000 shares of common stock. These financial statements have been adjusted to show all stock transactions using post-split amounts.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zhongpin Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “Company”).  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated during the process of consolidation. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions

RMB, the national currency of the PRC, is the primary currency of the economic environment in which our China-based subsidiaries are operating.  The United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”) is the functional currency used by Falcon and Zhongpin Inc. to record all of their activities.  The Company uses the U.S. dollar for financial reporting purposes.

The Company translates assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars using the noon buying rate in the City of New York for cable transfers of RMB as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of the balance sheet date. The consolidated statement of income is translated at average rates during the reporting period.  Adjustments resulting from the translation of financial statements from RMB into U.S. dollars are recorded in stockholders' equity as part of accumulated comprehensive loss – translation adjustments.  Gains or losses resulting from transactions in currencies other than RMB are reflected in income for the reporting period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue Recognition

Revenues generated from the sales of various meat products and vegetables and fruits are recognized when these products are delivered to customers in accordance with previously agreed upon pricing and delivery arrangements, and the collectibility of these sales is reasonably assured.  Since the products sold by the Company are primarily perishable and frozen food products, the right of return is only for a few days and has been determined to be insignificant by the management of the Company.  Accordingly, no provision has been made for returnable goods. Revenues presented on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income are net of sales taxes.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Company maintains its cash accounts at credit-worthy financial institutions and closely monitors the movements of its cash positions.

Restricted Cash and Bank Notes Payable

Under the terms of the credit agreements with certain of its lenders, Henan Zhongpin has agreed to maintain with such lenders in a deposit account an amount of cash that will serve as collateral for its delivery of bank promissory notes of such lenders as payment instruments for its procurement purposes.  The amount of bank promissory notes of such lenders that can be delivered by Henan Zhongpin can be up to twice the amount of such deposits.  As such deposits may not be withdrawn by Henan Zhongpin without restriction, such cash deposits are presented as “restricted cash” on the consolidated balance sheets.

Bank Notes Receivable

The Company only accepts notes issued by banks in the normal course of business as payment for products sold by the Company. These bank notes receivable have maturity dates of up to 180 days and bear no interest. The Company can hold the bank notes until the maturity date and collect the amount from the issuing banks, or the Company can use these bank notes as a means for payment for goods or services received. The Company accrues no provision for these bank notes because such bank notes have little risk of default in the PRC.

Accounts Receivable

During the normal course of business, the Company’s policy is to ask larger customers to make deposits in reasonable and meaningful amounts on a case-by-case basis.  For certain newly-developed customers, the Company may extend unsecured credit.

The Company regularly evaluates and monitors the creditworthiness of each of its customers in accordance with the prevailing practice in the meat industry and based on general economic conditions in the PRC.  If any particular customer appears to be delaying or deferring payments for our products, the Company generally requests a deposit from, or an increase in the deposits of, such customer.  Such deposits are typically applied against the outstanding accounts receivable of the applicable customer during the year.  As a result, the Company did not have a bad debt allowance provided against any specific customer at December 31, 2008.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The Company maintains a general policy of providing 100% allowance for doubtful accounts in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of those accounts that are not collected within one year plus an amount equal to 5% of the aggregate amount of accounts receivable less than one year old.  After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.  Henan Zhongpin previously had adopted a 10% estimate.  Examining the actual collection experience for the past two years, Henan Zhongpin changed its allowance estimate from 10% to 5%, which is consistent with the practice of the Company’s other subsidiaries, effective December 31, 2008.  As a result of this change, the net income of the Company increased by $999,999, which had an impact of $0.03 on basic earnings per share and $0.03 on diluted earnings per share.

The following table presents allowance activities in accounts receivable.

Inventories

Inventories are comprised of raw materials and low-value consumables, work in progress, and finished goods.  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or the market based on the weighted average method.  Production cost components include the purchase cost of live hogs, direct labor, depreciation, packaging material, utility expense and other manufacturing overhead.  By using a systematic costing system, the production cost is allocated to various products at the stage of work-in-progress and finished goods, respectively.  Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose.  The Company regularly inspects the shelf life of prepared foods and, if necessary, writes down their carrying value based on their salability and expiration dates into cost of goods sold.

Plant, Property and Equipment

Plant, properties and equipment are recorded at cost and are stated net of accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation expense is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

ZHONGPIN INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

	Estimated Useful Economic Life
Plants and buildings	5-30 years
Machinery and equipment	5-20 years
Office furniture and equipment	3-5 years
Vehicles	5 years

Maintenance and repairs are charged directly to expense as incurred, whereas improvement and renewals are generally capitalized in their respective property accounts.  When an item is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and applicable accumulated depreciation are removed and the resulting gain or loss is recognized and reflected as a line item before operating income (loss).

Land Use Rights

The Chinese government owns all of the parcels of land on which the Company’s plants are built.  In the PRC, land use rights for commercial purposes are granted by the PRC government typically for a term of 40-50 years.  The Company is required to pay a lump sum of money to the State Land and Resource Ministry of the applicable locality to acquire such rights.  In accordance with the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”), the Company capitalizes the lump sum of money paid and amortizes these land use rights by using the straight line method over the term of the land use license granted by the applicable governmental authority.

Construction in Progress and Interest Capitalization

Construction in progress is stated at cost. The cost accumulation process starts from time the construction project is set-up and ends at the time the project has been put into service and all regulatory permits and approvals have been received. The interest costs incurred for these construction projects have been determined to be insignificant by management. Consequently, no interest has been capitalized during the construction process.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of that asset.  Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.  There was no impairment loss for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. However, there was an impairment loss of $2,209,127 in the year ended December 31, 2008 due to the decision to dispose of the Company’s Yanling facility.  In addition to such $2.2 million write-off, a VAT recoverable of approximately $1.0 million related to the Yanling facility was also deemed impaired and written off due to the termination of operations in Yanling.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, advances to vendors, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair value because of the short maturity of these items.  The fair value of amounts due from/to related parties and stockholders are reasonable estimates of their fair value as the amounts will be collected and paid off in a period less than one year.

Shipping and Handling Cost

The Company adopted EITF 00-10, “Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs.”  All shipping and handling fees are included in selling expenses.

Value Added Tax

All China-based enterprises are subject to a value added tax (“VAT”) imposed by the PRC government on their domestic product sales.  The output VAT is charged to customers who purchase goods from the Company and the input VAT is paid when the Company purchases goods from its vendors.  Input VAT rates are 13% for most of purchasing activities conducted by the Company.  Output VAT rate is 13% for chilled pork products, frozen pork products and vegetable and fruit products, and 17% for prepared meat products.  The input VAT can be offset against the output VAT.  The VAT payable or recoverable balance presented on the consolidated balance sheets represents either the input VAT less than or larger than the output VAT.  The debit balance represents a credit against future collection of output VAT instead of a receivable.

Share-Based Payment

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 123(R), “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”).  SFAS 123R amended existing accounting pronouncements for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee and certain non-employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments.  SFAS 123(R) generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method.  The Company accounts for stock options granted using a fair-value-based method in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R).

Earnings Per Share

The Company presents earnings per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS No.128”).  Under the provision of SFAS No. 128, basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity, similar to fully-diluted earnings per share.Based on the fact that the voting rights and certain other characteristics of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock are the same as those of common stock, the outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock at each reporting period are deemed to be common shares outstanding. All of such securities are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.  The number of shares of common stock underlying the outstanding stock warrants and options at December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were 1,816,289, 2,665,338 and 5,124,796, respectively, which were all included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Government Subsidies

The Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC receive government subsidies from local Chinese government agencies in accordance with relevant Chinese government policies.  In general, the Company presents the government subsidies received as part of other income unless the subsidies received are earmarked to compensate a specific expense, which have been accounted for offsetting the specific expense, such as research and development expense or interest expenses.  The information relating to government subsidies received and recognized is presented in Note 15.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  Gross research and development expenses for new product development and improvements of existing products by the Company incurred for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $3,151,854, $1,822,300 and $1,057,100, respectively.  After offsetting the government subsidies received by the Company that were specified for supporting the Company’s research and development efforts, the net research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $1,144,647, $1,554,147 and $(1,317,224), respectively.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (“SFAS No. 130”), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).  SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.  The Company has chosen to report comprehensive income (loss) in the statements of income and comprehensive income.  Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income and all changes to stockholders’ equity except those due to investments by owners and distributions to owners.

Adoption of Fin 48

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”).  FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition of tax benefits, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.  In accordance with FIN 48, the Company performed a self-assessment and concluded that there were no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”).  SFAS No. 109 requires an entity to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence attributable to the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date.

Zhongpin Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on February 4, 2003 and is subject to federal income tax and Delaware state income tax.  Falcon Link was established under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on July 21, 2005 and is not subject to income tax in accordance with the laws and regulations of the British Virgin Islands.  The Company’s other subsidiaries, which are all located in the PRC, are subject to the PRC’s new Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) Law, which became effective January 1, 2008 and has a uniform statutory tax rate of 25 percent.  Under the new EIT Law, income derived by an enterprise from the primary processing of agricultural products (including slaughtering live hogs) is exempt from EIT.  Consequently, 11 of the Company’s 16 subsidiaries in the PRC that slaughter live hogs are exempted from EIT.  Two of the 11 entities have obtained a written tax-exemption approval from their respective tax authorities and the remaining nine subsidiaries are currently in the process of obtaining EIT exemption certificates.  In the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the exempted income before income tax was $34.9 million, $23.2 million and $13.2 million, respectively.  The Company excluded such exempted income before income tax in determining its proper income tax provision.  For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the impact on the Company’s income tax resulting from the exemption of net income from preliminary processing of agricultural products was $8.7 million, $7.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively.  

The Company’s other five subsidiaries in the PRC are subject to the uniform 25% tax rate in relation to non-primary processing of agricultural products.  The following table provides a summary of the EIT status.

Subsidiaries Subject to Enterprise Income Tax	Tax Rate
Henan Zhongpin Food Share Company Limited	EIT Exemption for slaughtering business and 25% for other businesses
Henan Zhongpin Industry Company Limited	EIT Exemption
Zhumadian Zhongpin Food Company Limited	EIT Exemption

Henan Zhongpin Fresh Food Logistics Company Limited	25%

Henan Zhongpin Agriculture Development Company Limited	25%

There is no consolidated enterprise income tax return concept in the PRC.  As a result, if one subsidiary has net income, that net income cannot be offset by the loss incurred in another subsidiary within the consolidated company.  Similarly, if one subsidiary has a net operating loss, that net operation loss cannot be offset by the net income in another subsidiary within the consolidated company.

Adoption of SFAS No. 157

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”).  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157.”  This FSP delays the effective date of FAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The partial adoption of FAS No. 157, as allowed by FSP FAS 157-2,  did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active.”  The FSP clarifies the application of FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active.  The FSP is effective immediately, and includes prior period financial statements that have not yet been issued.

Adoption of SFAS No. 159

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits enterprises to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any assets or liabilities that were not previously carried at fair value. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 159 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) changes the accounting for acquisitions. SFAS No. 141R broadens the guidance of SFAS No. 141, extending its applicability to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. It broadens the fair value measurement and recognition of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and interests transferred as a result of business combinations. SFAS No. 141R expands on required disclosures to improve the statement users’ abilities to evaluate the nature and financial effects of business combinations. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 141R may have on its financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, An Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”).  SFAS No. 160 requires that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary be reported as equity and the amount of consolidated net income specifically attributable to the noncontrolling interest be identified in the consolidated financial statements.  It also calls for consistency in the manner of reporting changes in the parent’s ownership interest and requires fair value measurement of any noncontrolling equity investment retained in a deconsolidation.  SFAS No. 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting No.161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 161”). The provisions of SFAS No. 161 are effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009.  SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about (i) how and why the Company uses derivative instruments, (ii) how the Company accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the Company’s financial results.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)(“APB 14-1”).  APB 14-1 will require entities to separately account for the liability and equity components of a convertible debt security by measuring the fair value of a similar nonconvertible debt security when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods.  APB 14-1 will require entities to retroactively separate the liability and equity components of such debt on the entities’ balance sheets on a fair value basis.

7. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

The Company’s slaughtering and meat-producing facilities in Yanling City, Henan Province were purchased in 2001 by Henan Zhongpin Industry Company Limited, a subsidiary of Henan Zhongpin.  Over the past three years, the Company constructed new production facilities with state-of-the-art production machinery and equipment to produce chilled and frozen pork products and prepared meat products.  As the machinery and equipment located in the Company’s Yanling facility were out-of-date and there was a possibility of a shortage of live hogs to supply both the Yanling facility and the Company’s newer production facilities in Henan Province, in 2007 management decided to use the Yanling facility to produce vegetables and fruits products, and put in place a production line with an annual production capacity of 10,800 metric tons.  However, due to the expansion of Yanling City, the location of the Yanling facility is now quite close to the downtown area.  Under the latest environment protection restrictions imposed by the China Environment Protection Agency, the continuation of fruit and vegetable production activities in Yanling will require a large investment.  In addition, the Company’s newly-built vegetable and fruit production facility in Changge City, which is just 50 kilometers away from Yanling and has an annual production capacity of 30,000 metric tons, will be put into service in 2009.

Based on the above considerations, during 2008, management of the Company decided to dispose of the Yanling facility and terminated all production activities at that location.  In accordance with SFAS No. 144, management also ceased the depreciation of the Yanling facility as of December 31, 2008.  During February 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors affirmed management’s decision made before December 31, 2008 and approved the plan to close and dispose of this facility at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value.

7. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE (continued)

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, this facility has been presented on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 as “assets held for sale” and has been stated at the lower of its cost or its fair value less the estimated cost to sell this facility.  Without knowing a definite fair value of this facility, management estimated the realizable value of the machines and equipment, plants and buildings, certain electronic equipment and the  land use rights and recorded an impairment loss as follows:

	Carrying Value		Impairment		Realizable Value
Plant and buildings	$	684,365	$	525,012	$	159,353
Machines and equipment		1,963,072		1,676,010		287,062

Land use rights		177,014		-		177,014
Total	$	2,832,998	$	2,209,127	$	623,871

Management believes that the decision to close and dispose of the Yanling facility would not constitute a discontinued operation as the vendors and customers of the Yanling facility in this region are still the vendors and customers of the Company’s operations.  The revenue and cash flows associated with the Yanling facility are now associated with the production facilities located in Changge county.

10. AMOUNT DUE TO SHAREHOLDERS

During the process of reorganizing and recapitalizing Henan Zhongpin in 2006, HZFC acquired a 10% interest in Henan Zhongpin from six individual shareholders by crediting “amount due to shareholders” for RMB17 million in March 2006, which was included in other payables on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 and 2007.  The substance of “amount due to shareholders” is a related-party transaction and the actual owner of the 10% interest in Henan Zhongpin is HZFC, which is disclosed in Note 1.  As a result, RMB17 million was presented on the balance sheet as “Amount due to shareholders” as of December 31, 2007.

At December 31, 2008, the six individual shareholders donated to HZFC the RMB17 million payable to such shareholders plus imputed interest of approximate RMB1.9 million accrued from March 2006 to December 31, 2008.  Accordingly, the Company reclassified this amount due to shareholders into additional paid capital at both the U.S entity level and the HZFC level.  In accordance with Chinese tax law, HZFC also recorded an income tax liability of RMB3.9 million at December 31, 2008. This donation transaction was deemed a non-cash transaction for cash flow purposes.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  Significant components that give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2008 were as follows:

	At December 31, 2008

Bad debt allowance	$	138,850
Accrued salaries		69,650

During 2008, management examined the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements regarding income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109 and noted that deferred tax assets and/or liabilities were not presented in those financial statements. Management reviewed the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007 regarding the temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements and the net operating loss incurred in the U.S. and the PRC and determined that the accumulated errors resulted in an understatement of deferred tax assets of $206,306, deferred tax liabilities of $44,229, an income tax payable of $162,017 and an overstatement of income tax provision of $60 for the three-year period ended

11. INCOME TAX (continued)

December 31, 2007. Under the rollover method, the errors in the respective years were immaterial for each of the prior three years. Under the iron curtain method, these accumulated errors represented only 0.06% of the Company’s total assets and 0.15% of the Company’s total liabilities and had a negligible impact on the Company’s net income after taxes for the year ended December 31, 2008 before the correction was made. Therefore, management decided to correct these minor errors in 2008. Consequently, the information of deferred tax and liabilities presented in these notes to financial statements only covers the information for 2008.

The U.S entity had an accumulated net operating loss of $5,480,662, $3,567,507 and $1,530,614 at December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  There was no net operating loss in 2005.  Under the U.S. tax laws, the net operating loss can be carried forward for 20 years and carried back for the prior two years.  Accordingly, the nominal deferred tax assets could be $1,918,231 at December 31, 2008.  Management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize these potential tax benefits as the Company’s U.S. operations will not generate any operating profits in the foreseeable future.   As a result, the full amount of the valuation allowance was provided against the potential tax benefits.

The difference between the effective income tax rate and the expected federal statutory rate was as follows:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2008			2007			2006
Statutory rate		34.0	%		34.0	%		34.0	%
Income tax rate reduction		(9.0	)%		(1.0	)%		(1.0	)%
Permanent differences		(19.9	)%		(27.0	)%		(19.2	)%
Valuation allowance		2.0	%
Other		0.1	%		1.2	%		(1.3	)%
Effective income tax rate		7.2	%		7.2	%		12.5	%

The permanent differences were related to tax-exempted profits that were derived from conducting a slaughtering live stock business.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had outstanding warrants and options to purchase an aggregate of 1,815,603 shares of common stock.  During 2008, the Company did not grant any stock warrants or options.

On January 30, 2006, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders adopted and approved, and on February 27, 2007 the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of, the Company’s Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”).  The Incentive Plan allows for awards of stock options, restricted stock grants and share appreciation rights for up to 1,800,000 shares of common stock.  On April 21, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s board of directors approved, and on June 26, 2008 the Company’s stockholders approved, an amendment to the Incentive Plan for the purpose of increasing the authorized shares from 1,800,000 shares to 2,500,000 shares.

The Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No 123R”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to the Company’s employees and directors, including stock options and employee stock purchases.  Stock-based compensation expense for stock options was based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R.  During the process of estimating the fair value of the stock options granted and recognizing share-based compensation, the following assumptions were adopted.

The fair value for these awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions, assuming no expected dividends:

	Years Ended December 31,

Expected life (years)		—			3-5
Expected volatility		—	%		46 - 55%
Risk-free interest rate		—	%		3.63 – 4.19%
Dividend yield		—	%		—%

The expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.  The observation is made on a weekly basis.  The observation period covered is consistent with the expected life of the options.  The expected life of stock options is based on the minimum vesting period required.  The risk-free rate is consistent with the expected terms of the stock options and is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

13. STOCK WARRANTS AND OPTIONS (continued)

Granting Activities in 2007

On August 23, 2007, the Company issued stock purchase options to an executive officer to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock and to a director to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock, in each case at an initial exercise price of $9.20 per share.  These options were accounted for using the fair value method, with the expense being recognized ratably over the requisite service period (three years for the executive officer and one year for the director).  The compensation expense for these options amounted to $170,306 and $94,111 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

On September 30, 2007, in conjunction with a one-year consulting agreement, the Company issued three-year warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $10.00 per share. The warrants vest monthly over a one-year period. These warrants were accounted for using the fair value method, with the expense being recognized ratably over the requisite service period of one year. Consulting expense related to the warrants amounted to $145,791 and $48,597 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

On October 9, 2007, the Company completed a private placement in which the Company sold 6.25 million shares of common stock for $8.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $46.5 million, net of commissions.  In conjunction with this private placement, the Company issued five-year warrants to purchase 437,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share. Since these warrants were an integrated part of the financing transaction, no fair value was assigned to these warrants.

On December 14, 2007, the Company issued stock purchase options to certain executive officers to purchase an aggregate of 580,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $11.76 per share. These options were accounted for using the fair value method, with the expense being recognized ratably over the requisite service period (three years). The compensation expense for these options amounted to $1,159,669 and $54,012 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

At December 31, 2008, the Company had unrecognized stock-based compensation in the aggregate amount of $2,265,326 related to stock options granted during 2007 based on the fair value of options on the grant date, which compensation is expected to be recognized over a period of two years.  A summary of stock warrant and option activities during the two-year period ended December 31, 2008 is as follows:

15. GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES

The local government in Changge City, Henan Province provided Henan Zhongpin with various subsidies to encourage its research and development activities and its establishment of a fresh fruit and vegetable production facility in Changge City, and for other contributions to the local community, such as increasing employment opportunities.  The government subsidies are generally classified as earmarked (such as research and development activities) or non-earmarked. The interest subsidies were earmarked to offset the Company’s interest expenses incurred in relation to the construction of its fruit and vegetable production facility.  All subsidies were accounted for based on evidence that cash has been received and the earmarked activities have taken place.  In accordance with internationally prevailing practice, subsidies earmarked for research and development activities were first offset against relevant research and development expenses incurred, and interest subsidies were offset against the relevant interest expense incurred.  Non-earmarked subsidies are generally recognized as other income.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Mutual Guarantee

In April 2008, Henan Zhongpin entered into a mutual guarantee agreement with Xuji Group Co., Ltd. (“Xuji Group”), a group corporation based in Henan Province, PRC that is not affiliated with the Company or with any of its subsidiaries.  The mutual guarantee has an effective term of April 1, 2008 through March 30, 2009 and is only applicable to bank loans received by either party.  Pursuant to this mutual guarantee, Henan Zhongpin has agreed to guarantee bank loans of Xuji Group in an amount up to $44.0 million, and Xuji Group has in turn agreed to guarantee Henan Zhongpin’s bank loans in an amount up to $44.0 million.  This mutual guarantee may be terminated by either party at any time; provided, however, that any loan guarantees in effect prior to termination shall remain in effect.

The business purpose for the mutual guarantee is to provide each party with a credit line from banks that would have otherwise been unavailable absent the guarantee.  As bank credit loans are generally unavailable in China, companies are required to provide either a pledge of assets, a third-party guarantee or a combination of both in order to receive loans.  In the case of pledges, companies can pledge their assets, including, among other things, land, buildings and machines, to banks as collateral to secure loans; however, banks generally will only loan up to 50% to 70% of the value of the pledged assets. Alternatively, if a company provides the banks with a guarantee agreement, the banks generally will loan up to 90% to 100% of the amount being guaranteed.

Henan Zhongpin’s obligation as guarantor to repay loans on behalf of Xuji Group will only arise if Xuji Group cannot repay its loans and proceeds from liquidating Xuji Group’s pledged assets are insufficient to cover its outstanding debt.  Henan Zhongpin’s actual liability for such guarantee, should the guarantee obligation become due, will vary depending on the difference between the outstanding bank loan plus accrued interest and the proceeds received for the liquidated collateral.  Henan Zhongpin did not pledge any of its assets in connection with the mutual guarantee agreement as this guarantee was not based on credit quality concerns, but rather based on the local banks’ requirements.  In the event Henan Zhongpin is required to pay all or a portion of any loans covered by the mutual guarantee, Henan Zhongpin would seek reimbursement for such payment from Xuji Group.

At December 31, 2008, Henan Zhongpin has guaranteed $38.1 million of Xuji Group’s bank loans. As a result, the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) Henan Zhongpin could be obligated to make under the mutual guarantee at such date was $38.1 million.  The Company did not record any liability on its balance sheet with respect to this mutual guarantee as the Company believes, based upon its continuing due diligence on Xuji Group and its business, that Henan Zhongpin’s liability thereunder remains contingent.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company has disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business.  As of December 31, 2008, there was no material legal proceeding to which the Company was a party or to which any of the Company’s assets was subject that will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

Operating Leases

The Company leases plants and buildings in four locations, Hailun City in Heilongjiang Province starting from September 2006, Changchun City of Jilin Province starting from December 2008, Tianjin City starting from September 2007, and Hengshui in Heibei Province starting from November 2008 under their respective lease agreements.  The terms of these operating lease agreements range two to three years from their respective starting dates.  The respective monthly rental payment ranges from RMB150,000 ($21,986) to RMB233,333 ($34,201).  The Company has adopted the straight-line method to record the monthly rental expenses.  The rental expenses under these lease agreements were $707,344, $466,521 and $62,831 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

In January 2009, the Company terminated its lease agreement in Heilun City, Heilongjiang Province as it plans to terminate its meat production activities in Heilongjiang Province and move those meat production activities to Jilin Province.   In connection with such termination, the Company was required to pay an aggregate rental of RMB500,000 ($73,287) for the first quarter of 2009 as a penalty for canceling the lease agreement.

Capital Leases

On October 28, 2008, Henan Zhongpin entered into a sale-leaseback agreement with China Merchant Bank Finance Lease Company (“CMB Finance”) pursuant to which Henan Zhongpin, as lessee, sold to CMB Finance, as lessor, plants, buildings, machinery and equipment owned by Henan Zhongpin and located in Changge City, Henan Province with a net book value of $6,779,873 for net proceeds of $6,579,600 and leased these assets back immediately.  The principal terms of this sale-leaseback agreement are as follows:  1) lessee sold the assets to lessor for cash proceeds of $6,579,600; 2) lessee immediately leased back the assets from lessor; 3) the lease term is three years; 4) the monthly lease payment of RMB970,523.65 ($142,254) is payable on the first day of each month after the starting date; 5) the interest rate applied in the lease agreement is 7.02% per annum, which is a three-year bank loan interest rate issued by the People’s Bank of China; 6) the interest rate will be adjusted whenever the People’s Bank of China adjusts the interest rate of its three-year bank loans and, upon any such adjustment, an incremental interest calculation will be provided by lessor; 7) Mr. Xianfu Zhu, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, provided his personal irrevocable guarantee of the obligations of Henan Zhongpin; 8) lessee has the right to repurchase the leased assets back at a nominal price of RMB 1 when the lease agreement expires; 9) lessee is required to pay RMB14,437,120 ($2,116,204), which includes the first monthly payment of RMB970,524 ($142,253) on the effective date of the lease agreement; and 10) lessee is required to make a deposit of RMB2,513,802 ($368,457), which is refundable or will be applied to offset the last monthly payment.

Based on the above terms, the Company determined that this transaction is a capital lease transaction.  The effective interest rate derived from the lease terms was 7.02% per annum.  Using the effective interest method, the Company prepared an amortization schedule to recognize the principal payment and corresponding interest expenses in terms of the monthly payment. Once the interest rate is adjusted by the People’s Bank of China, the amortization schedule will be adjusted accordingly.  During the period from October 28, 2008 to December 31, 2008, the effective interest rate was adjusted by the

People’s Bank of China twice. As of December 31, 2008, the outstanding capital lease obligation was $4,252,743.  The loss derived from this sales-lease back transaction was RMB1,366,363 ($200,273), which will be amortized over the three-year lease period.  As of December 31, 2008, the unamortized loss resulting from this saleslease back transaction was $183,584.

Under the Company’s non-cancellable lease agreements, the minimum lease payments for the remaining lease terms are summarized as follows:

	Operating		Capital

* The operating lease minimum payments for 2009 includes the rental payment of RMB500,000 ($73,287) for the time period from January 1, 2009 to March 29, 2009.   The Company moved out of this facility during January 2009.

17. SEGMENT REPORTING

Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 131, the Company operates in only one segment: meat production (fruit and vegetable segment is not material enough to compete with meat production).  However, the Company’s product lines are divided into two divisions: pork and pork products, and vegetables and fruits.

The pork and pork products division is involved primarily in the processing of live hogs into fresh, frozen and processed pork products. The pork and pork products division markets its products domestically to branded stores and to food retailers, foodservice distributors, restaurant operators and noncommercial foodservice establishments, such as schools, hotel chains, healthcare facilities, the military and other food processors, as well as in certain international markets on a limited basis.

The vegetables and fruits division is involved primarily in the processing of fresh vegetables and fruits.  The Company contracts with more than 100 farms in Henan Province and nearby areas to produce high-quality vegetable varieties and fruits suitable for export purposes.  The proximity of the contracted farms to operations ensures freshness from harvest to processing.  The Company contracts with those farms to grow more than 20 categories of vegetables and fruits, including asparagus, sweet corn, broccoli, mushrooms, lima beans and strawberries.

19. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On December 30, 2008, the Company announced that it will terminate the lease agreement for its production facility in Hailun City of Heilongjiang Province and move the meat production from that facility to Jilin Province in January 2009.  As a condition to terminating the lease prior to the September 29, 2009 expiration date, the Company was required to pay rent for the first quarter of 2009.  The Company anticipates that the production employees from the facility in Heilongjiang Province will be relocated to the Company’s production facility in Jilin Province and the sales employees will stay in Hailun to sell the products produced in the Jilin facility or the Company’s other production facilities.  While the Company’s subsidiary in Heijingjiang Province will no longer engage in meat or food processing, it will continue to engage in the sale of meat and food products.  As a result, management of the Company believes the operations of that subsidiary should not be treated as  discontinued operations for financial reporting purposes.
