YONGYE BIOTECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
JUNE 30, 2008
 
NOTE 1 -ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
On April 17, 2008, Yongye Biotechnology International Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Fullmax Pacific Limited, a company organized in May 23, 2007 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“ Fullmax ”), the shareholders of Fullmax (the “ Shareholders ”), who together own shares constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Fullmax (the “ Fullmax Shares ”), and the principal shareholder of the Company (“ Principal Shareholder ”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Shareholders transferred to the Company all of the Fullmax Shares in exchange for the issuance of 11,444,755 (the “ Shares ”) shares of our Common Stock (the “ Share Exchange ”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Fullmax became our wholly-owned subsidiary and the Shareholders acquired approximately 84.7% of our issued and outstanding Common Stock. The transaction is accounted for as a reverse acquisition with a public shell.
 
The unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008 includes Yongye Biotechnology International Inc., Fullmax, Asia Standard Oil Limited (“AOS”, subsidiary of Fullmax)and Yongye Nongfeng Biotechnology Co. (“Yongye Nongfeng”) and the unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 include Yongye Nongfeng for the full periods and Fullmax, ASO and Yongye Biotechnology International Inc. from April 17, 2008. All the historical financial statements prior to January 1, 2008 are solely those of the predecessor, Inner Mongolia Yongye Biotechnology Company, Ltd.
 
Concurrent with the Share Exchange, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors (the “ Investors ”) for the sale of an aggregate of 6,495,619 shares of our Common Stock (the “ Investor Shares ”), and warrants to purchase 1,623,905 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants” and, together with the Shares, the “Securities”) for aggregate gross proceeds equal to $10,000,651 (the “ Offering ”). Expenses of the Offering were $1,162,022 which includes fees for the issuance of stock at $806,159 which is a reduction on Additional Paid In Capital under the Shareholder Equity section on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and $355,863 for legal fees for the reverse takeover (the “RTO”) transaction which is an expense on the Consolidated Income Statement.

In connection with the Offering, we also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “RRA”) with the Investors, in which we agreed to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register for resale the Investor Shares and the shares underlying the warrants (which are further described in Item 3.02), within 45 calendar days of the Closing Date of the Offering, and use our best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 150 calendar days of the Closing Date of the Offering. We will pay liquidated damages of 1% of the dollar amount of the Shares sold in the Offering per month, payable in cash, up to a maximum of 10%, if the registration statement is not filed and declared effective within the foregoing time periods.

Also, along with the Closing, the company signed a Make Good Agreement for 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock with the understanding that the Investors’ will receive such shares on a pro rata basis for no consideration in the event that the After Tax Net Income as reported in the Annual Report of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, as filed with the Commission on Form 10-K (or such other form appropriate for such purpose as promulgated by the Commission) (the “2008 Annual Report”), is less than $10,263,919.

Upon closing, we also entered into an escrow agreement with ROTH Capital Partners, LLC, a representative of the Investors (“ Roth ”), Tri-State Title & Escrow LLC (the “ Escrow Agent ”) and one of the Shareholders (the “ Escrow Agreement ”), pursuant to which 2,000,000 of the Shares (the “ Escrow Shares ”) were delivered to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Shares are being held as security for the achievement of $10,263,919 in net income for the year ended December 31, 2008 (the “ Net Income Threshold ”). If we achieve the Net Income Threshold, the Escrow Shares will be released back to the Principal Shareholder. If the Net Income Threshold is not achieved, the Escrow Shares will be distributed pro-rata to the Investors.

The Company’s Predecessor, Inner Mongolia Yongye Biotechnology Co., Ltd (the “Predecessor”) was formed on September 16, 2003, also under the corporate laws of PRC. Its primary business is to research, manufacture, and sell biological products for use in plants and animal growth. The Company is located in the City of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region., People’s Republic of China (‘PRC”).
 
NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and include the financial statements of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2008 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X applicable to small business issuers. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007 as reported in Form S-1.

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, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” the Company and the Predecessor considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
 
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND BAD DEBT RESERVE
 
The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable. As a consequence, the Company believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited. The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure accounts receivable are not overstated due to uncollectibility and are maintained for all customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience. Based on the age of the receivables, the Company reserves 10% of accounts receivable balances that have been outstanding for more than 6 months but less than one year, 20% of accounts receivable balances that have been outstanding between one year and two years, 50% of receivable balances that have been outstanding between two year and three years, and 100% of receivable balances that have been outstanding for more than three years. An additional reserve for individual accounts is recorded when the Company becomes aware of a customer's inability to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to customers change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted. No allowance for doubtful accounts was provided as of June 30, 2008.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
Revenue from product sales is recognized when title has been transferred, the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the fee is fixed and determinable, and the collection of the related receivable is probable which is generally at the time of shipment.
 
ADVERTISING COSTS
 
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $480,457 and $4,738, respectively. Advertising costs for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $2,057,032 and $8,594, respectively.
 
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Per SFAS 144, the Company is required to periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets and to record an impairment loss when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the asset’s carrying amounts.
 
In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company and the Predecessor concluded that as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
Deferred income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method, such that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial reporting amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities based on currently enacted tax laws and tax rates in effect in the People’s Republic of China for the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period plus the change during the period in deferred income taxes.
 
8

 
A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. No differences were noted between the book and tax bases of the Company and the Predecessor’s assets and liabilities, respectively, therefore, there are no deferred tax assets or liabilities for the three months period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and the six months period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The Company’s Cooperative Joint Venture subsidiary Yongye Nongfeng Biotechnology Co., (“Yongye Nongfeng”) is subject to PRC Enterprise Income Tax at a rate of 25% of net income from its foundation on January 4, 2008, and 1.25% of gross revenue since April 2008. Since the Predecessor is located in the economic development area in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Predecessor is exempt from income tax according to the tax law in China.
 
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND TRANSACTIONS
 
The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries are determined using local currency (Chinese Yuan) as the functional currency, while the reporting currency is US dollar. Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are translated at the prevailing exchange rate in effect at each period end. Contributed capital accounts are translated using the historical rate of exchange when capital is injected. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included in the cumulative translation adjustment account in shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions denominated in other than the functional current are included in operations as incurred. Such gains and losses were immaterial for the periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
 
In the opinion of management, these unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments and disclosures considered necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, term deposits, trade receivables, and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

NOTE 9-NET INCOME PER SHARE
 
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, but excluding the 2,000,000 “Make Good Shares” according to the “Make Good Escrow Agreement” (see Note 1). Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. Common share equivalents are excluded from the computation of the diluted net income per share in periods when their effect would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 11-Commitments

On (June 2, 2008), Yongye Nongfeng signed two construction contracts with two Construction Companies (Hainan No. 4 Construction Engineer Company and Hohhot Saihan District Art & Landscape) to begin construction of a new 8,000 Tons Per Annum (TPA) plant on its current contracted location. The value of these contracts is approximately RMB 25,000,000. This addition, when added to the current 2,000TPA capacity of Inner Mongolia Yongye Biotechnology Company, Ltd., will increase total production capacity to 10,000TPA and is critical to our ability to keep up with future anticipated demand. In July 2008, the construction contractor gave notice that it forecasts the in-service date of the facility to be the end of September 2008, which will be sufficient to avoid any weather-related delays. We do not anticipate any other delays.
 
Item 2- Management Discussion & Analysis


MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements:

The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Yongye Biotechnology International, Inc. is referred to herein as “we” or “our.” The words or phrases “would be,” “will allow,” “expect to”, “intends to,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements include those concerning our expected financial performance, our corporate strategy and operational plans. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of risks and uncertainties, including: (a) those risks and uncertainties related to general economic conditions in China, including regulatory factors that may affect such economic conditions; (b) whether we are able to manage our planned growth efficiently and operate profitable operations, including whether our management will be able to identify, hire, train, retain, motivate and manage required personnel or that management will be able to successfully manage and exploit existing and potential market opportunities; (c) whether we are able to generate sufficient revenues or obtain financing to sustain and grow our operations; and (d) whether we are able to successfully fulfill our primary requirements for cash which are explained below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, we do not undertake, and we specifically disclaim any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences, developments, unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statement.

Our Business

Yongye Biotechnology International, Inc. is a holding company whose direct subsidiaries are engaged in the research, development, and sales of fulvic acid based liquid and powder nutrient compounds used in the agriculture industry. Our CJV, Inner Mongolia Yongye Nongfeng Biotechnology Company, Ltd., has its headquarters in Beijing, China and we sell our products domestically into 10 different provinces. Currently, we sell two lines of product based on our fulvic acid base: plant nutrition liquid compound and animal nutrition food additive. The product lines are called “Shengmingsu” for plants and “Shengmingsu” for animals.
 
13

 
Our products start with a highly concentrated base of Fulvic Acid which is manufactured according to the exact specifications required by our patent pending process design. Each product has additional natural elements added which then customizes the fulvic acid base for use on plants or in animal feed. Our plant product contains naturally occurring macro and micro nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, boron and zinc. Our animal product adds natural herbs which provide antibiotic type properties. Based on industry research and government testing, we believe our proprietary technology for fulvic acid extraction creates some of the purest and most bioactive fulvic acid and thus some of the most effective plant and animal nutrients on the market in China.

Our competitive advantage begins with the core intellectual property owned by our CJV which we are then able to commercialize via cost effective, flat fee, contractual agreement with our selected manufacturers. Our chief scientist has been working specifically on our products for the last five (5) years and has over forty (40) years of experience in the industry. This has led to two (2) Invention Patents pending held by our CJV which are used to design the manufacturing process. These patents cover the formulation of Shengmingsu for plants and animals nutrient products and two (2) technology patents which covers its extraction of the Fulvic Acid and the stabilization of the product for addition of the proprietary nutrient formulas. The finished goods we sell are approved and certified by the PRC Ministry of Agriculture.

We sell our products through our unique sales channels which more resemble the sales characteristics of the Pharmaceutical or IT industry here in China and is comprised of distributors who purchase our product directly and then sell it through various downstream sales points, including our Yongye Branded Stores, and ultimately to retail customers. These “Branded Stores” sell agricultural products and in conjunction with the private owner, and our local distributor, we brand them with our name outside, our banners and headline products inside and also provide a computer and monitor to display our advertising and educational programs. We support our entire distribution network with sales and support staff who are trained to work with our distributors, branded stores, and end users to ensure they receive proper after-sales technical support. Each sales and support staff manager oversees approximately 3 - 10 stores each.

Overview of 2nd Quarter
 
Agriculture Outlook
 
China is already one of the world’s leading countries for agricultural production. China’s Minister of Agriculture, Sun Zhengcai, told a UN FAO hosted world summit that China is a major contributor to world food security by feeding nearly a quarter of the global population and being involved in distributing aid to other countries. He also said, "China has managed to feed 1.3 billion people, mostly relying on domestic production, which in itself is a major contribution to the world food security," He also reported that since 2004, food production in China has increased for four consecutive years and the total grain output exceeded 500 million tons last year and he expects China to have a big summer harvest this year, with grain output set to rise for the fifth consecutive year. In the first five months of 2008, Agenese France Presse reported that China's exports increased by 12% to US$16.18 billion and that China is self-sufficient in most staple crops, but relies on imports of some agricultural products, such as soybeans, to meet rising domestic demand.
 
Supply of Finished Goods
Currently, we purchase our finished goods from our main supplier, Inner Mongolia Yongye Biotechnology Company, Ltd and then sell it through our distribution system. In order to generate greater profit margins, we set out to control our cost of goods sold and have put into place a fixed rate contract with our main supplier and this will extend over the next five years. Each quarter we will go through a review process with our supplier to adjust the fixed rate for the next quarter. Thus far, in 2008, we have not received any rate increases.

Earthquake in Sichuan
The earthquake in Sichuan was a devastating event in the recent history of China. While the impact was felt all the way to Beijing, the disruption of business and the ensuing relief efforts were largely contained to the province itself and mainly to the areas nearest the epicenter. Because of this, the impact to our business was minimal. China's Agriculture Minister Sun Zhengcai said in an interview with Xinhua that, “The earthquake will not change the nation-wide situation of agricultural production this year since local output of the affected area is quite small compared to that of the whole country," Sun acknowledged that, “The damage was mainly to planted crops and livestock," he said, adding an urgent harvesting and planting effort has helped minimize the impact and which had no national implications.” Furthermore, he said that “food security remains guaranteed because of sufficient stockpiles and a big harvest ahead.”
 
14

 
    
Seasonality

The second quarter of the year is typically our strongest and this year was no exception with approximately 87% growth over the first quarter in 2008. Which such strong seasonal growth in our plant line, our Shengmingsu for animal product sales, which doesn’t experience the same seasonal tapering which our plant product does, mirrored Q1 sales and we expect this to continue in Q3. As for our plant product, we will see some tapering off of sales in Q3 due to the beginning of the ending of the harvest season.

Our financial condition continues to improve as shown by an increase of 34% in shareholders’ equity during the second quarter of 2008 increasing by $4,434,473 to $17,345,945 at the end of June 30, 2008 from $12,911,472 at the end of December 31, 2007. Cash increased by 259% during the quarter and our accounts receivable increased by 1164% as a result of increased sales volume and longer than anticipated collections on some key accounts. Property, plant and equipment decreased by 78% during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to the prior year end December 31, 2007 because our new business model, after the Reverse Takeover, is as a distribution and sales company and we carved out the 2,000TPA manufacturing facility from our financial structure and it remains with the predecessor company.

Sales revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $17,598,671, which was an increase of $10,157,459, or 137%, compared with the corresponding period in 2007. This was also a decrease of 21% from estimated Q2 revenues of $22,205,888 which represents our quarterly seasonal sales estimates of 45% of total 2008 revenue generated in Q2.

Gross profit for the Quarter ending June 30, 2008 was $9,602,150, and represented 55% of sales. This was an increase of $6,068,958, or 172%, when compared with the corresponding period in 2007 which ended at $3,533,192. When compared as a percentage of revenues, Gross Profit Margin increased by 8% from 47% to 55% from 2007 to 2008. The overall increase in margin was largely due to our ability to control Cost of Goods Sold through our contract manufacturing agreement as explained above..

Overall, compared with our results in 2007, we have increased our sales exponentially in Q2 of 2008 and we have already exceeded our expectations in building our network for all of 2008 by increasing the number of branded stores from 350 in Q1 of 2008 to 775 in Q2 of 2008, which is an overall increase of 19% compared to our initial estimation of 650 stores. When looking at the increase from the end of 2007, we have increased stores by 575, which is a 288% increase. Additionally, average same store sales are approximately the same which means our branding process has been successful across the network and is stable. This is due in large part to our efforts to standardize the branding process and provide service and support to all store owners and distributors.

Customers

Three months ended June 30, 2008 (Yongye Nongfeng) compared with three months ended June 30, 2007 (Predecessor)

Cost of Sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $7,996,521, which is 45% of revenues. This is an increase of $4,088,501 over the previous period which represents an 105% increase overall. As a percent of revenue, this represented an overall decrease of 8% when compared with the corresponding period in 2007, which was 53%. The overall dollar increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the increase in our production plan to meet our overall sales goals. The decrease in percentage of cost of sales was due to more stable pricing from our contract manufacturing agreement.

Suppliers

Inner Mongolia Yongye is Yongye Nongfeng’s main contract manufacturer and provided 100% of Yongye Nongfeng’s purchased finished goods for the three months period ended June 30, 2008. We believe this manufacturer will continue to deliver the finished goods we require at the quality levels we expect. Through our contract, we are able to control our prices and Intellectual Property and expect to do so for the foreseeable future.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 were $1,231,709, an overall increase of $1,061,224, or 622%, when compared with the corresponding period in 2007. This was 7% of revenue which was a 5% increase over the same period last year where these expenses were 2% of revenue. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased, correlated, sales activities, such as advertising and increased staffing expenses related to the build up of the executive and sales teams. Specifically, as referenced in the footnotes, advertising expenses increased $475,719 to $480,457 in June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 which was $4,738. This is due to our increased media coverage in 6 provinces and print coverage in 10 provinces whereas in the same period in 2007 advertising was primarily word of mouth.

Income Tax

Three months ended June 30, 2008 (Yongye Nongfeng) compared with three months ended June 30, 2007 (Predecessor) 

The Company did not carry on any business and did not maintain any branch office in the United States during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Therefore, no provision for withholding or U.S. federal income taxes or tax benefits on the undistributed earnings and/or losses of the Company has been made.


For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company’s tax expense was $219,983 and accrued taxes were $406,530 compared to $0 and $893,892 for the same period in 2007.

Net income was $7,160,855 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and was 41% of revenue for the quarter. This was an increase of $3,848,061, or 116%, when compared to net income of $3,312,794 for the same period of 2007, and represented 45% of revenue for the quarter. This is an overall increase of 116%, which is the result of an increase in sales revenue due to expansion of our number of branded stores and distribution network overall. By percentage of revenue, however, net income is down 4% over the prior period due largely to other expenses of $387,198 and minority interest of $603,194, which is new for this quarter. These two expenses combined were 6% of revenue for the quarter.

Foreign Currency Translation Gains

The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. We use our local currency, Renminbi (RMB), as our functional currency. Results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.
The value of the USD versus the RMB continued to decline during the second quarter of 2008. As a result of the appreciation of the RMB, we recognized a foreign currency translation gain of $277,101 for the second quarter of 2008 compared to a gain of $127,723 for the same quarter last year. Given the uncertainty of exchange rate fluctuations, we cannot estimate the effect of these fluctuations on our future business, product pricing, and results of operations or financial condition. All of our revenues and expenses were denominated in RMB Yuan and both the income statement accounts and balance sheet amounts were translated at 1 RMB Yuan to 0.1414 USD.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Inner Mongolia Yongye has historically financed our operations and capital expenditures principally through shareholder loans, bank loans, and cash provided by operations. We will use the net proceeds of the Q2 PIPE Offering of approximately $10 million to finance the purchase of raw materials and finished inventory from Inner Mongolia Yongye, finishing research and development on new products ready for launch in 2008, capital equipment and an expansion of our facilities and production, build out of our distribution network and increasing the number of our branded stores.

As is customary in the industry, we provide payment terms to most of our distributors which typically exceed the terms that we ourselves receive from our finished goods suppliers. Therefore, the Company’s liquidity needs have generally consisted of working capital necessary to finance receivables and raw material inventory. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and cash flows from operations and from the Offering will be sufficient to meet our anticipated future cash needs for the remaining growing season. We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changing business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. Therefore, there can be no assurance that such additional investment will be available to us, or if available, that it will be available on terms acceptable to us.

The Company's working capital at June 30, 2008, increased to $17,811,795 from $2,655,790 on December 31, 2007.  The increase in working capital resulted from growth in the Company's overall business and the use of cash earnings to fund increases in accounts receivable and inventories.  Accounts receivable Days Sales Outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased to 69 days at June 30, 2008 from 81 days at June 30, 2007 and Days Sales in Inventory decreased by 4 days to 75 days at June 30, 2008 from 79 days at June 30, 2007.  As is customary in China’s agriculture industry, we give credit terms which allow our distributors to pay over a longer period of time than is traditionally done in other industries.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash used in operating activities was $7,604,652. Reductions in cash were primarily attributable to increases of $5,196,266 in inventories and $20,613,347 in accounts receivables, . These were offset to some degree by net income of $7,742,185, an adjustment for depreciation of $93,263 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $6,772,337.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash used in investing activities was $762,418 and was primarily attributable to the build out of the Beijing office with improvements of $639,519 over the first six months of 2008 and the purchase of intangible assets (patent and accounting software) of $122,899.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, gross cash from financing activities was $10,100,651 from the PIPE investment received on April 17, 2008. This was offset by expenses incurred in issuance of stock to shareholders of $806,159 resulting in net cash of $9,294,492.

Net Sales

Sales revenue increased by $18,858,921, or 232%, to $26,986,639 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $8,127,718 for the same period ended on June 30, 2007. This can be attributed to our investment in our distribution channels and build up of branded stores which put more product in the hands of end users. We have increased the number of stores from inception in 2007 to 775 stores by June 30, 2008. The Company and the Predecessor’s total sales to our five major customers were $24,068,529 and $7,961,977, for the six months period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Gross Profit Margin

We achieved gross profit of $14,567,619 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, up 285% from gross profit of $3,780,957 for the corresponding period in the prior year. Gross profit margin for June 30, 2008 was 54%, up 7% from 47% as compared to the corresponding period in 2007. This is largely attributed to our fixed price contract for finished goods which has stabilized our cost of goods sold.

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses

We incurred total SG&A expenses of $ 4,809,602, or 18%, of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2008. As compared to the same period in 2007, this represented an increase of $4,583,423 or 2026% over SG&A expenses of $226,179 which was 3% of revenue. Much of this increase is due to increased expenses for operating as a public company, hiring additional executive team members and increased advertising expenses which, due to the seasonal nature of our business, must be expended in Q1 and Q2 in order to reach customers for the growing season starting early in Q2.

Net Income

Our net income was $7,742,185 or 29% of revenues for this six month period in 2008 which was $4,383,757 or 12% increase over the same six month period in 2007 which was $3,358,428 and 41% of revenue. The increase reflected continued expansion in sales revenue levels, continued strong demand for our products and sustained profitability.

Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the six months ended June 30, 2008, were $0.55 and $0.54, respectively, compared to $0.29 and $0.29, in the same period last year, respectively. The weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted EPS for the comparative periods were 14.1 million and 14.3 million and 11.4 million and 11.4 million, respectively.

Impact of inflation

We are subject to commodity price risks arising from price fluctuations in the market prices of the raw materials. We have generally been able to pass on cost increases through price adjustments. However, the ability to pass on these increases depends on market conditions influenced by the overall economic conditions in China. We manage our price risks through productivity improvements and cost-containment measures. We do not believe that inflation risk is material to our business or our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The terms of these agreements have been disclosed in the Joint Venture contract as filed with the SEC on April 17, 2008.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and accordingly, no such arrangements are likely to have a current or future effect on our financial position, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
