NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010

NOTE 1 -ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Yongye International, Inc. (the “Company”, formerly known as “Golden Tan, Inc.” or “Yongye Biotechnology International, Inc.”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 12, 2006. On April 17, 2008, the Company and the Company’s principal shareholder entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Fullmax Pacific Limited (“Fullmax”), a privately held investment holding company organized on May 23, 2007 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and all the shareholders of Fullmax (the “Fullmax Shareholders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Fullmax Shareholders transferred all of their shares to the Company in exchange for 11,444,755 shares of the Company’s common shares (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Fullmax becamea wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Fullmax Shareholders received approximately 84.7% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. Immediately prior to the date of the Share Exchange, the Company was a publicly listed shell entity with no operations and a nominal amount of cash and, Fullmax, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Asia Standard Oil Limited (“ASO”) and indirect subsidiary, Yongye Nongfeng Biotechnology (“Yongye Nongfeng”), was engaged in the sale of fulvic acid based liquid and powder nutrient compounds. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, equivalent to the issuance of stock by Fullmax for the net monetary assets of the Company accompanied by a recapitalization.

In November 2007, ASO entered into a Sino-Foreign cooperative joint venture contract with Inner Mongolia Yongye Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (“Inner Mongolia Yongye”) to form Yongye Nongfeng, pursuant to which, Inner Mongolia Yongye and ASO were to own 10% and 90% of the equity interestsin Yongye Nongfeng, respectively. Inner Mongolia Yongye was formed on September 16, 2003 in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). Mr. Zishen Wu, Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Company, owns a controlling equity interest in Inner Mongolia Yongye.

In connection with the September Offering (See Note 13), the Company entered into agreements to acquire the productive assets of Shengmingsu manufacturing business from Inner Mongolia Yongye (the “Acquisition”). In October 2009, the Company completed the Acquisition. The reason for the Acquisition was to expand the Company’s manufacturing business.

On July 20, 2010, Yongye Nongfeng set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, Inner Mongolia Yongye Fumin Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (“Yongye Fumin”), with an initial investment cost of $2,946,376 (equivalent to RMB 20 million). Yongye Fumin is to be engaged in the manufacturing and sale of fulvic acid based liquid and powder nutrient compounds. As of September 30, 2010, the production plant of Yongye Fumin was in final stage of construction and has not started official operation.

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omittedas permitted by rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The December 31, 2009 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2009 audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position as of September 30, 2010, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, have been made. 

The Company's business is subject to seasonal variations; thus, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 is not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. Generally, the second and third quarters are peak sales periods, and first and fourth quarters are low sales periods for the Company.

B. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur upon the exercise ofoutstanding warrants. Common share equivalents are excluded from the computation of the diluted earnings per share when their effect would be anti-dilutive.

5

C. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605):  Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (EITF Issue No. 08-1, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables ). ASU 2009-13 amends ASC 605-25 to eliminate the requirement that all undelivered elements have vendor specific objective evidence of selling price (“VSOE”) or third party evidence of selling price (“TPE”) before an entity can recognize the portion of an overall arrangement fee that is attributable to items that already have been delivered. In the absence of VSOE or TPE for one or more delivered or undelivered elements in a multiple-element arrangement, entities will be required to estimate the selling prices of those elements. The overall arrangement fee will be allocated to each element (both delivered and undelivered items) based on their relative selling prices, regardless of whether those selling prices are evidenced by VSOE or TPE or are based on the entity’s estimated selling price. Application of the “residual method” of allocating an overall arrangement fee between delivered and undelivered elements will no longer be permitted upon adoption of ASU 2009-13. Additionally, the new guidance will require entities to disclose more information about their multiple-element revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of adopting ASU 2009-13 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In connection with the acquisition of Customer List (See note 7), the Company issued 3,600,000 shares of common stock of the Company in July 2010 to the Seller as part of the consideration.

Warrants

Concurrent with the April Investor Shares, the Company issued 1,623,905 warrants to purchase 1,623,905 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “April Warrants”) to the April Investors. The warrants issued have a five years exercise period with an initial exercise price of $1.848. In addition, 649,562 warrants were issued to Roth as the placement agent with terms and exercise price identical to the warrants issued to the April Investors.

Concurrent with the September Investor Shares, the Company issued 1,518,253 warrants to purchase 1,518,253 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “September Warrants”) to the September Investors. The warrants issued have a five years exercise period with an initial exercise price of $1.848. In addition, 607,301 warrants wereissued to Roth as the placement agent with terms and exercise price identical to the warrants issued to the September Investors.

On September 12, 2008, Roth executed an irrevocable cashless exercise of its warrants. In exchange for the issuance of 354,987 shares of the Company, Roth surrendered 649,562 warrants received in the April Offering; and in exchange for the issuance of 331,891 shares of the Company, Roth surrendered 607,301 warrants received in the September Offering.

The Company issued 198,247 shares of common stock of the Company in exchange for the surrender of all the May Warrants.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, nil and 54,803 “April Warrants”and “September Warrants” were exercised by April Investors and September Investors. In connection with the exercise, the Company issued 54,803 shares of common stock and received $84,397 from warrant holders.

10

According to the terms of these warrants, the Company could be required to pay cash to the warrant holders under certain events that are not within the control of the Company.  Specifically, upon the occurrence of certain “fundamental transactions” as defined, the warrant holders (but not the shareholders of the Company’s common stock) are entitled to receive cash equal to the value of the warrants to be determined based on an option pricing model and certain specified assumptions set forth in the warrant agreement.  In addition, the terms of the warrants include a “down-round” provision under which the exercise price could be affected by future equity offerings undertaken by the Company.  If the Company issues any common stock or common stock equivalents, as defined, at any time the warrants are outstanding, at an effective price less than the then warrant exercise price, the exercise price of warrants will be reduced to the effective price of newly issued common stock or common stock equivalents.  In the “May Offering”, the Company issued new commonstock at a price of $1.54 per share and accordingly, the exercise price of the April Warrants and the September Warrants was reduced to $1.54 per share. As of September 30, 2010, there were 148,172 warrants outstanding, of which 48,714 and 99,458 warrantswill expire if unexercised by April 2013 and September 2013, respectively.

The potential cash payments and the down-round provision preclude the classification of these warrants as equity. Accordingly, the warrants are accounted for as a liability and adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. The loss resulting from the increase in fair value of warrants was $12,077 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The gain resulting from the decrease in fair value of warrants was $157,393 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The loss resulting from the increase in fair value of warrants was $15,836,189 and $20,905,136 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.

The estimated fair values of the warrants issued to April Investors and September Investors were determined at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 using Binominal Option Pricing Model with Level 2 inputs. The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

			Fair Value Measurements Using:

Liabilities at fair value:
Derivative liabilities—warrants	$	1,380,205		-	$	1,380,205		-

The fair values of the warrants are summarized as follows:

The fair values of the warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were determined based on the Binominal option pricing model, using the following key assumptions:

	September 30, 2010						December 31, 2009

Fair value of underlying common shares (per share)	$	7.06		$	7.06		$	8.13		$	8.13

Escrow shares

In connection with the September Offering, the Company entered into an escrow agreement with Roth, the escrow agent and Full Alliance (the “September Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which 4,000,000 shares of the Company issued to Full Alliance in the Share Exchange (the “September Escrow Shares”) were delivered to the escrowagent. Of the September Escrow Shares, 2,000,000 shares (the “Make Good Escrow Shares”) were held and to be released back to Full Alliance upon the Company’s achievement of both 2008 and 2009 financial targets, as defined in the September Escrow Agreement. The remaining 2,000,000 escrow shares were held and to be released back to Full Alliance upon the Company obtaining the approval from Ministry of Agriculture of Inner Mongolia in relation to the transfer of fertilizer license to Yongye Nongfeng from Inner Mongolia Yongye and the completion of Yongye Nongfeng’s restructuring (the “Restructuring Make Good Shares”). In June 2010, both Make Good Escrow Shares and Restructuring Make Good Shares were released to Full Alliance.

NOTE 14 – STATUTORY RESERVE

Yongye Nongfeng is required to allocate at least 10% of its after tax profits as determined under generally accepted accounting principal in the PRC to a statutory surplus reserve until the reserve balance reaches 50% of its registered capital. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, Yongye Nongfeng made appropriations to this statutory reserve of $5,051,225 and $2,328,546, respectively. The accumulated balance of the statutory reserve of Yongye Nongfeng as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $9,116,795 and $4,065,570, respectively.

In accordance with the PRC laws and regulations, Yongye Nongfeng is restricted in its ability to transfer a portion of its net assets to the Company in the form of dividends, which amounted to $8,660,955, representing the amount of accumulated balance of statutory reserve of Yongye Nongfeng attributable to the Company, as of September 30, 2010.

NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES

The Company and its subsidiaries file separate income tax returns.

The United States of America

Yongye International, Inc. is incorporated in the State of Nevada in the U.S., and is subject to a gradual U.S. federal corporate income tax of 15% to 35%. The State of Nevada does not impose any corporate state income tax.

British Virgin Islands

Fullmax is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, Fullmax is not subject to tax on income or capital gains. In addition, upon payments of dividends by Fullmax, no British Virgin Islands withholding tax is imposed.

Hong Kong

ASO is incorporated in Hong Kong. ASO did not earn any income that was derived in Hong Kong and therefore was not subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax. The payments of dividends by Hong Kong companies are not subject to any Hong Kong withholding tax.

12

PRC

Effective from January 1, 2008, the PRC’s statutory income tax rate is 25%. According to an approval from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region National Tax Authority on December 11, 2009, Yongye Nongfeng, being a foreign investment enterprise located in the Western Region of the PRC, is entitled to a preferential income tax rate of 15% for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010.

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 16.66% and 16.16% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The difference between effective tax rate and statutory tax rate primarily represented the tax effects on non-taxable income and non-deductible expenses.

The Company had deferred tax assets of approximately $389,318 as of September 30, 2010 that consisted of tax loss carryforwards. The Company had no other temporary differences as of September 30, 2010. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those tax loss carryforwards are available. The Company considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making its assessment. At present, the Company does not have a sufficient operation in the United States toconclude that it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be able to realize all of its tax benefits in the near future and therefore a valuation allowance was established for the full value of the deferred tax asset as of September 30, 2010.

The fair values of the financial instruments shown in the above table as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 represent the estimated amounts that would be received to sell those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at that date. Thosefair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Company’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Those judgments are developed by the Company based on the best information available in the circumstances, including expected cash flows and appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates, available observable and unobservable inputs.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, short-term bank loan, long-term loans and payables – current portion, accounts payables, accrued expenses, due to a related party and other payables: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Derivative liabilities: The method and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of derivative liabilities are set out in Note 13.

Long-term loans and payables: The fair value of the Company’s long-term loans and payables is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current market interest rates offered to the Company and its subsidiaries for debts with substantially the same characteristics and maturities.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company could terminate the Agreement by giving one month notice to Inner Mongolia Yongye. Upon Yongye Nongfeng obtaining its own fertilizer license, the Agreement was terminated in July 2009.

As of December 31, 2009, accounts payable to related party was $880,026, and represented the payable for the purchase of inventories from Inner Mongolia Yongye. The accounts payable was repaid in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Company Overview

In April 2008, we entered into a share exchange transaction (the “Share Exchange”) prior to which we were a public “shell” company with nominal assets.  Following the Share Exchange, we changed our name to Yongye International, Inc. and through our Cooperative Joint Venture subsidiary, Yongye Nongfeng BiotechnologyCo. Ltd. (“Yongye Nongfeng”), are engaged in the research and development, manufacturing, distribution and sales of fulvic acid based liquid and powder nutrient compounds used in the agriculture industry.

Our headquarters is in Beijing, China and additional administrative offices and our manufacturing unit are located in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China. Currently, we sell two lines of products, both based on our fulvic acid compound base: a plant nutrition liquid compound and animal nutrition powder which is a feed additive. Our products start with our proprietary fulvic acid base which is extracted from humic acid, and to which we add other natural substances to customize the base for use in our plant and animal product lines. Our plant products add naturally occurring macro and micro nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, boron and zinc. Our animal products add natural herbs which help to reduce bacterial inflammation (mastitis) in cows. It also assists various animals digest food more completely and thus be more healthy. Based on industry research and government testing, we believe our proprietary technology for fulvic acid extraction creates some of the purest and most effective fulvic acid base on the market in China today. We believe our fulvic acid has a very light weight molecular composition, which may improve the overall permeability of cell walls, thus it allowing more complete transport of nutrients across plant membranes, and effectively strengthening the overall health of plants. We believe our patented processes for mixing our plant nutrient and animal nutrient are key differentiators in the market. We believe this will help us ensure that we have a high quality product that we can control from procurement of raw materials to final production. We believe this also ensures our products provide reliable results from season to season.

In the three months ended September 30, 2010, we sold approximately 6,352 tons of plant product, which represented 99.9% of our total revenue or $71,647,884. We also sold approximately 18 tons of our animal product, which represented 0.1% of our total revenue or $104,185. 

Recent Developments

In March 2010, Yongye Nongfeng signed a preliminary agreement with a local supplier of humic acid to purchase an undeveloped lignite coal resources project in Inner Mongolia, PRC. Consummation of the acquisition requires the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including receipt of governmental approval.  The preliminary agreement with Wuchuan Shuntong Humic Acid Trading Company Limited ("Shuntong") provides for the acquisition of Shuntong's development rights to a currently undeveloped lignite coal resource project located in Wuchuan County, a suburb located outside the city of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, where the Company's major operations reside in the PRC. According to a third party valuation report, the project area is estimated to contain over 40 million cubic meters of surface level lignite coal which can supply the Company's long-term needs. According to the agreement, Nongfeng will pay Shuntong RMB240 million ($35.1 million) to acquire the development rights for this project. This acquisition will not be completed until Nongfeng makes full payment to Shuntong and receives in return the full, unencumbered title to the development rights. Nongfeng is still in the process of obtaining the related titles.

In June 2010, Yongye Nongfeng entered into an agreement to acquire the Shengmingsu distribution network from its provincial level distributor in Hebei Province which is solely comprised of a customer list, which was completed in July 2010. The Company has issued 3.6 million shares of common stock and will pay an additional $3.0 million in cash to the seller on or before March 2011, as considerationfor the acquisition. The Company has commenced to trade with these customers in July 2010. The customer list is comprised of all of the sub-provincial level distributors who sell the Company's Shengmingsu plant and animal nutrient products in Hebei Province, which is Yongye's largest regional market in China, representing approximately 30% and 28.8% of the Company's revenues in 2009 and the nine months periods in 2010, respectively. Previously, in Hebei Province, Yongye sold its products to its provincial level distributor who then resold those products to lower level distributors. After the acquisition of the customer list, Yongye sold directly to those sub-provincial level distributors in Hebei Province.

On July 20, 2010, Yongye Nongfeng set up a wholly owned subsidiary, Inner Mongolia Yongye Fumin Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (“Yongye Fumin”), in a nearby economic development zone located near the coal resources project, with investment of $2,946,376 (RMB 20 million). Yongye Fumin is to be engaged in manufacturing and sale of fulvic acid based liquid and powder nutrient compounds and will have 20,000 tons of plant nutrient product and 10,000 tons animal nutrient product annual capacity. As of September 30, 2010, Yongye Fumin is in final stage of construction and has not started official operation.

In October 2010, the Company granted 1,183,667 restricted shares to management and independent directors of the Company in accordance with the Yongye International, Inc. 2010 Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan, as an incentive to such individuals to promote the success of the Company’s business. Shares vest on the six-month anniversary of the date of grant. Management was granted shares of 1,137,000 on October 8, 2010, and the independent directors were granted shares of 46,667 on October 15, 2010.

Factors affecting our operating results

Demand for Our Products

One major tenet of the PRC government’s 11th Five-Year National Economic and Social Plan (the “NESDP”) (2006-2010) is the focus towards developing China’s western region. This is one of the top-five economic priorities of the nation. The goal is to increase rural income growth which will in turn increase demand for more food and agriculture products. Currently, a large majority of our products are sold in this western region and we hope that this government focus will increase our opportunity to sell more plant and animal nutrients to farmers who have to keep up with the demand for higher quantity and higher quality of products.

According to the Asian Development Bank statistics, well over 60% of the nation’s total population of 1.3 billion people is comprised of low-income, rural farmers. According to the NESDP (2006-2010), raising the level of rural income is a top economic and social goal for the country. Many government initiatives, including removal of certain agricultural and local product taxes, have been implemented to spur rural income development. The government expects annual rural income to grow between 5% and 10% through 2010 (according to a study issued by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in April 2009). Additionally, according to the National Population and Family Planning Commission, China’s population will reach 1.5 billion by 2030. Therefore, the country has the challenge ofproducing approximately 100 million more tons of crops needed to feed the additional 200 million people, which has put pressure on the agricultural system to increase production capacity.

Supply of Finished Goods

Before June 1, 2009, we purchased our finished goods from our main supplier, Inner Mongolia Yongye and then sold them through our distribution system. Upon obtaining the fertilizer license on June 1, 2009, we commenced the manufacturing of our product.

Seasonality

Our Shengmingsu products face seasonality in our sector. In general, the first and fourth quarters are typically our slowest quarters. 13% and 10% of our total net sales for the year 2009 were from these quarters, respectively. The second and third quarters drove the bulk of our overall sales in 2009 with 47% and 30%, respectively, of the total 2009 year’s net sales.

18

Agriculture Sector

Agriculture continues to be a heavily invested sector in China. Brand name investors continue to invest into China’s agriculture space because they have confidence in China’s long-term outlook. The market volume for agriculture products is large, both for domestic sales and export and there is no set threshold for foreign investment into the sector as opposed to other industries, such as energy, finance, mining, and telecommunications. This is driven by the growing demand for higher quality food products domestically and international reliance on food products from China. Currently, China is the world’s biggest grower and consumer of grains and yet must boost crop yields by at least 1 percent a year to ensure the country has enough food to feed its 1.3 billion people, according to the Minister of Agriculture, Sun Zhengcai (China Economic Net, July 21, 2008). Additional policy changes will include protecting farmland and working to increase rural incomes to retain farming interest.

The goal is to maintain self-sufficiency in food production because no other country can feed the world’s biggest population, according to Sun. “Our strategy must be based on stable farmland, and seeking ways to improve yields,” Sun said in a speech to local officials, outlining the government’s near- and long-term agriculture policy and objectives. China, which harvested more summer crops, aims also to boost grain and oilseedoutput this year, Sun said. To ensure next year’s crops, officials must “stabilize” area planted in winter wheat and use idle land in the off season to grow rapeseed, Sun said.

This growth, however, does not come without challenges and China has faced many of these with regards to the continued concern over the quality of milk and eggs sold both domestically and internationally in the dairy industry. We believe that the government is making every effort to bring back consumer confidence in these domestically produced products and overall this will bring about an even stronger industry once planned new licensing and safety procedures have been put into place.

New Land Reform Policy

Farmland in China is owned by the local government, but given to local farmers under 30 year use contracts. With the allure of higher incomes and better living conditions in the city, farmers have abandoned the land and no other farmers have stepped in to bring it back into production. This has created a shortage of a key raw material in the agricultural supply chain productive land. The government has acknowledged this issue and recently enacted a new land use reform policy which liberalizes the exchange of land among the nation’s farmers. This creates a new model for China’s 730 million farmers with the idea being to create more stable farmland by shifting the country away from the single household farm plot model to the amalgamation of larger-scale operations which should be more productive due to technology and economies of scale. Farmers will be able to transfer their land-use rights to others through a new market system for rural land-use rights. Chinese authorities commented that, “Without modernizing agriculture, China cannot modernize; without stability and prosperity in rural areas, China cannot have stability and prosperity. These changes are enacted to “ensure national food security and the supply of major agricultural products, and promote increases in agricultural production, farm incomes and rural prosperity.” (China’s Ongoing Agriculture Modernization, USDA, April 2009)

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009

Net Sales

Sales of $71,752,069 in the third quarter of 2010 was an increase of $42,472,596 from $29,279,473 in the same period of 2009, which was an overall increase of 145%.

This increase was driven by higher demand throughout our market area, including an increase in the number of branded stores developed by our distributors, and the growth of several new markets, which resulted in almost all of such growth being due to an increase in the quantity of product sold while our prices remained relatively stable. Additionally, after the acquisition of Hebei customer list, we are selling at a higher price directly to lower level distributors in Hebei, which is Yongye's largest regional market in China, representing approximately 30% of the our revenues in the third quarter of 2010.

Gross profit in the third quarter of 2010 increased 166%, from $15,844,147 to $42,112,407, or $26,268,260, over the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Gross margin increased between the two periods from 54% to 59%, or an overall 5% increase in margin. The increase in gross profit was mainly due to the benefits from economics of scale. Moreover, after the acquisition of Hebei customer list,our margin for the sales made in Hebei province increased to 63% from 56%, which also resulted in the increase of gross profit ratio.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $29,639,662 which is 41% of revenues. This is an increase of $16,204,336 over the previous period of $13,435,326 and represents an 121% increase overall. As a percent of revenue, this represented a decrease of 5% when compared with the corresponding period in 2009, which was 46%. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue for the third quarter of 2010 was mainly due to the benefits from economics of scale, as well as the acquisition of the customer list.

Sales by Product Line

In the three months ended September 30, 2010, we sold approximately 6,352 tons of plant product, which represented 99.9% of our total revenue or $71,647,884. We also sold approximately 18 tons of our animal product. This represented 0.1% of our total revenue or $104,185. The revenue of our plant product increased to $71,647,884 from $29,276,377 or 145% in the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009 and the revenue of our animal product increased to $104,185 from $3,096, or 3265%, in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by $15,095,829 to $19,105,619 in the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $4,009,790 in the corresponding period in 2009. As a percentage of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2010, SG&A increased by 13% to 27% as compared to 14% of net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2009, due to an increase of $6,457,053 in advertising expenses mainly resulted from more promotional activities in 2010, as we entered into more geographic markets and conducted several nation-wide jointprograms with China Central Television Station (CCTV). Also an increase in amortization expenses of $1,111,617 that mainly resulted from the amortization of customer list, as well as the increase in training expenses of $4,738,743 for various levels of distributors and staff education.

21

Research and Development

We incurred $2,170,951 of research and development expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $69,871 in the three months ended September 30, 2009. While we expanded our geographic coverage to several new provinces in 2010, the Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses consist of expenses related to making investments in future new products and conducting various field tests in the Company’s new sales territories. This increase in expenses is mainly the result of more field test areas for different product to both our plant and animal products in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

Loss/gain on change in fair value of warrants

The warrants issued in our private financings in 2008 and 2009 are accounted for as derivative liabilities and measured at fair value at each reporting date. The increase in fair value during the three months ended September 30, 2010 resulted in a loss of $12,077. The increase in fair value of the warrants was primarily due to the increase in our stock price from $6.89 per share at June 30, 2010 to $7.06 at September 30, 2010. The change in fair value of the warrants for the three months ended September 30, 2009 resulted in a loss of $15,836,189.

Income Tax

The Company did not carry on any business and did not maintain any branch office in the United States during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and does not intend to repatriate any earnings from the Chinese operations. Therefore, no provision for withholding taxes for the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries or U.S. federal income taxes or deferred income tax benefits has been made.

Effective from January 1, 2008, the PRC’s statutory income tax rate is 25%. According to an approval from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region National Tax Authority issued on December 11, 2009, Yongye Nongfeng, being a foreign investment enterprise located in the Western Region of the PRC, is entitled to a preferential income tax rate of 15% for the year ended December 31, 2009 and year ended December 31, 2010. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 16.66% and 16.16% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The difference between effective tax rate and statutory tax rate primarily represented the tax effects of certain non-taxable income and non-deductible expenses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company’s income tax expense was $3,705,985 as compared to $3,089,047 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $18,540,489 (representing a net profit margin of 26%) compared to a net loss of $6,995,237 in the same period ended September 30, 2009. The increase in our net profit margin is primarily due to the impact of the fair value changes of derivative warrants as well as the increase in sales in the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the corresponding period in 2009.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009

Net Sales

Sales of $186,101,173 in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was an increase of $98,114,381 from $87,986,792 in the same period in 2009, which was an overall increase of 112% in revenue. This increase was driven by higher demand throughout our market area, including an increase in the number of branded stores developed by our distributors, and the growth of several new markets, which resulted in almost all of such growth being due to an increase in the quantity of product sold while our prices remained relatively stable. Additionally, after the acquisition of Hebei customer list, we are selling at a higher price directly to lower level distributors in Hebei, which is Yongye's largest regional market in China.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 also increased by 127%, which was an increase from $46,711,982 to $106,005,208, or $59,293,226, over the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Our gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased from 53% to 57%. The increase in gross profit ratio was mainly due to the lower production cost as compared to the purchase of finished goods from Inner Mongolia Yongye, as well as benefits from economies of scale. Moreover, after the acquisition of Hebei customer list, our margin for the sales made in Hebei province increased to 63% from 56%, which also resulted in the increase of gross profit ratio.

22

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $80,095,965, which is 43% of total revenues. This is an increase of $38,821,155, or 94%, over the corresponding period in 2009. As a percent of revenue, this represented a decrease of 4% when compared with the corresponding period between 2010 and 2009. This decrease was due to the lower production cost as compared to the purchase of finished goods from Inner Mongolia Yongye, as well as benefits from economies of scale. Upon obtaining the fertilizer license on June 1, 2009, we started producing our nutrients ourselves. Moreover, after the acquisition of Hebei customer list, the cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue in Hebei province decreased to 37% from 44%, which also resulted in the cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue to decrease.

The revenue of our plant product increased by 113% and the revenue of our animal product increased by 30% in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses increased by $30,991,394 to $45,202,898 in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $14,211,504 in the same period in 2009, which was a 218% increase. As a percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, SG&A increased by 8% to 24% of net sales as compared to 16% in the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This increase was due primarily to additional costs brought on by increased expenses in the areas of advertising of $17,578,090, as we entered into more geographic markets and conducted several nation-wide joint programs with China Central Television Station (CCTV), various levels of distributor’s training and staff education expenses of $4,746,301, amortization expenses of $1,661,268, transportation fee of $1,204,965 and salary expenses of $1,081,015.

Research and Development

We incurred $4,509,847 of research and development expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $1,482,888 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009. While we expanded our geographic coverage to several new provinces in 2010, the R&D expenses consist of expenses related to making investments in future new products and conducting various field tests in the Company’s new sales territories. This increase in expenses is mainly the result of more test field areas for different product to both our plant and animal products in the first three quarters of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

Loss/gain on change in fair value of warrants

The warrants issued in April Offering and September Offering are accounted for as derivative liabilities and measured at fair value at each reporting date. The change in fair value during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 resulted in a gain of $157,393. The fluctuation in fair value of the warrants was primarily due to the decrease in our stock price from $8.13 per share at December 31, 2009 to $7.06 at September 30, 2010. The change in fair value of the warrants for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 resulted in a loss of $20,905,136.

Income Tax

The Company did not carry on any business and did not maintain any branch office in the United States during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. 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.

Effective from January 1, 2008, the PRC’s statutory income tax rate is 25%. According to an approval from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region National Tax Authority issued on December 11, 2009, Yongye Nongfeng, being a foreign investment enterprise located in the Western Region of the PRC, is entitled to a preferential income tax rate of 15% for the year ended December 31, 2009 and year ended December 31, 2010.

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 16.16% and 76.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rate and statutory tax rate primarily represented the tax effects of certain non-taxable income and non-deductible expenses, including the loss/gain on change in fair value of warrants. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company’s income tax expense was $9,389,307 as compared to income tax expense of $7,836,270 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

23

Net income

Net income increased by $46,268,670, from $2,437,976 to $48,706,646, over the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, which was 1898% increase. Also, this represented an increase in net profit margin from 3% to 26% in the related period of 2010 and 2009. This increase is primarily due to the fact that the gain from the decrease in the fair value of warrants amounted to $157,393 in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, while in the same period of 2009 there was a loss from the change in fair value of warrants of $20,905,136, as well as the increase in sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared with nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has historically financed its operations and capital expenditures principally through issuance of common shares and bank loans. As is customary in the industry, we provide credit terms to most of our distributors which typically exceed the terms that we receive from our suppliers. Currently, we typically provide 6-month terms to our key provincial level customers and ask for all others to make cash payments upfront or upon delivery. Therefore, the Company’s liquidity needs have generally consisted of working capital necessary to finance receivables and raw material and finished goods inventory. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our anticipated future cash needs for the coming 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.

In summary, our cash flows were:

Net cash used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased by $2,499,371 to $9,341,126 from $6,841,755 for the period ended September 30, 2009. The change was mainly due to higher demand of working capital to finance receivables and inventories, resulting from the expansion our business.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $34,286,311, or 1291%, to $36,942,127 in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $2,655,816 the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily due to the prepayment of $28,866,259 for the acquisition of the right to develop certain lignite coal resources inthe Wuchuan area. Total consideration of the development right is approximately $35 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $3,279,233, or 38%, to $5,260,922 in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $8,540,155 the same period in 2009. This was due to the increase in repayment of loans and payables of $3,373,475 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Net current assets at September 30, 2010 increased by $15,953,925 to $123,706,240 from $107,752,315, or 15%, over December 31, 2009.

Total current liabilities increased by $14,738,226 to $27,407,765 at September 30, 2010 from $12,669,539 at December 31, 2009, which was largely due to an increase in accrued expenses of $10,467,510 and income taxes payable of $3,793,236, primarily due to the significant growth of our business, and increase in our net income before income tax. Moreover, other payables increased by $4,450,575 mainly due to $3 million cash consideration payable for the acquisition of Hebei customer list. We repaid the short-term bank loan during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, which decreased current liabilities by $2,925,174.

Total equity increased by $82,902,639 to $215,493,461 at the end of September 30, 2010, compared to $132,590,822 at December 31, 2009. The increase in our total equity was primarily due to increase in common stock and additional paid in capital of $21,709,546, which was mainly from the 3,600,000 shares issued for acquisition of customer list and warrants exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, collection of subscription receivable of $8,550,000 that was received during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and increase in retained earnings of $46,195,261 dueto the net income attributable to Yongye International, Inc. during the period.

Days sales outstanding is defined as average accounts receivable for the period divided by net sales for the period and decreased by 44 days to 82 days for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from 126 days in the same period ended 2009, as result of increased efforts in cash collection.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC are measured using the Renminbi as the functional currency, while the Company’s reporting currency is the US dollar. Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are translated at the prevailing exchange rate in effect at each period end. The income statement is translated at the average rate of exchange during the period. Translation adjustments are included in the cumulative translation adjustment account in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income.

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 at this time.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We do not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements 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.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer evaluated, with the participation of other members of management, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 15d-15(e)), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

25

Although the management of our Company, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and internal controls currently provide reasonable assurance that our desired control objectives have been met, management does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Yongye International Announces Third Quarter 2010 Results

BEIJING, China, November 15, 2010- Yongye International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YONG) (“Yongye” or the “Company”), a leading manufacturer, developer and distributor of "Shengmingsu" brand plant and animal nutrient products in China, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Third Quarter 2010 Highlights

§ Sales increased 145.1% to $71.8 million

§ Gross profit increased 165.8% to $42.1 million

§ Gross margin increased 460 basis points to 58.7%

§ Operating income increased 77.1% to $20.8 million

§ Net income attributable to Yongye was $17.6 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $7.0 million in the same period last year

§ Adjusted net income attributable to Yongye, which excludes the impact of non-cash items related to a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities of $12,077 and amortization of the acquired Hebei customer list of $674,622, was $18.3 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to $8.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the same period last year*

§ The number of independently owned, Yongye-branded stores increased to 21,925 from 9,110 stores at the end of 2009

§ Opened a new production facility in Wuchuan County, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia

§ Entered into two new revolving credit facilities totaling RMB 400 million (approximately $59 million)

§ Days sales outstanding decreased by 44 days to 82 days

§ Operating cash flow reached almost breakeven at ($0.2) million, an improvement from ($1.1) million in the prior year period

“During the third quarter we saw continued strong growth in demand for our Shengmingsu products in both our traditional and new provinces,” stated Mr. Zishen Wu, Chief Executive Officer. “We added over 3,000 independently owned Yongye-branded stores to our network in the quarter. We made significant investments in our training programs for branded store owners and our distributors to build a more solid foundation for future growth. We are also pleased to report that after the acquisition of the customer list from our previous distributor, our Shengmingsu business in Hebei, our largest province, has been developing very well. Sales from Hebei increased 474% year-over-year in the third quarter and 96% year-over-year during the first nine months of this year.  Our post-acquisition gross margin in Hebei was 63%, which surpassed our original pre-acquisition forecast of 60%.”

Third Quarter 2010 Results

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010, was $71.8 million compared to $29.3 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of 145.1%. The increase in revenue was due to higher sales penetration in existing markets and the continued expansion of the Company's distribution network.  In addition, after the acquisition of the Hebei customer list, the Company is selling its products at a higher price directly to lower level distributors in Hebei, which is Yongye’s largest regional market in China, representing approximately 30% of the Company’s revenues in the third quarter of 2010. As of September 30, 2010, Yongye had 21,925 independently owned Yongye-branded stores in its network, compared to 18,700 at the end of the second quarter.

Gross profit was $42.1 million compared to $15.8 million for the same period last year, an increase of 165.8%. Gross margin was 58.7% compared to 54.1% in the same period last year. The 460 basis point increase in gross margin was primarily the result of increasing economies of scale and higher gross margins from the Company’s sales in Hebei following the acquisition of the customer list.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses including research and development (“R&D”) expenses were $21.3 million, or 29.7% of sales, compared to $4.1 million, or 13.9% of sales, in the same period last year. This increase in SG&A was primarily due to an increase of $6.5 million in advertising expenses that resulted from promotional activities that commenced in 2010, as the Company entered into more geographic markets and conducted several nationwide joint television programs with China Central Television Station (CCTV); an increase in amortization expenses of $1.1 million, of which $674,622 is from amortization of the acquired Hebei customer list; and an increase in training expenses of $4.7 million for branded store owners, distributors and staff education. In addition, the Company incurred $2.1 million of R&D expenses, which consists of expenses related to making investments in future new products and conducting various field tests in the Company’s new sales territories. Operating income was $20.8 million compared to $11.8 million in the same period last year, an increase of 77.1%.

Mr. Wu added, “We engaged in additional advertising and promotional activities during the quarter as we conducted business in more provinces and carried out a nationwide marketing campaign through premium media outlets. We believe these initiatives were effective in reaching our customers, helping to drive our sales and expand our brand awareness. Given our very rapid growth to date, we have decided to increase our investment in education and training for our branded store owners and distributors. For example, over the summer, we had over 4,000 of our branded store owners and distributors participate in our recent training programs in Hohhot. We are committed to maintaining the quality of our distribution network and customer experience as we grow our branded store network and geographic coverage.”

Net income attributable to Yongye was $17.6 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to Yongye of $7.0 million in the third quarter of 2009. The Company recorded non-cash items related to a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities of $12,077 and amortization of the acquired Hebei customer list of $674,622 in the third quarter of 2010. Excluding the impact of these non-cash items, adjusted net income attributable to Yongye was $18.3 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income attributable to Yongye of $8.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share in the same period last year.(*)

(*) See the table following this press release for a reconciliation of net income and diluted EPS to exclude non-cash items related to a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities and amortization of the acquired Hebei customer.

Financial Condition

As of September 30, 2010, the Company had $25.0 million in cash compared to $65.5 million as of December 31, 2009. Days sales outstanding decreased by 44 days to 82 days for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from 126 days in the same period last year as result of the Company’s increased efforts in cash collection.  Working capital was $123.7 million, compared to $107.8 million at the end of 2009. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had only $0.4 million in long-term debt. Stockholders' equity totaled $215.5 million as of September 30, 2010, compared to $132.6 million at the end of 2009.

Mr. Wu continued, “There is a strong seasonality to our business with 70% to 80% of full year sales occurring in the second and third quarters. As such, we have historically had significant inventory needs. Our inventory level is determined by our management team based on our market assessment and confidence in future sales. We provide our key distributors up to six months credit terms and our very rapid sales growth means we have also seen an increase in our accounts receivable. That said, we believe we have secure accounts receivable. We have no bad debt in this regard and no accounts receivable outstanding over six months. Additionally, the efficiency of our cash collection efforts continued to improve this quarter as evidenced by our improved days sales outstanding for the quarter.

“We have a positive operating cash flow trend. We were very close to operating cash flow breakeven in the third quarter and expect to become operating cash flow positive in the fourth quarter. We have also significantly enhanced our borrowing power by securing lines of credit from commercial banks to help manage our working capital needs.”

Recent Developments

§ In October 2010, the Company granted 1,183,667 restricted shares to management and independent directors in accordance with Yongye’s 2010 Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan.

§ In September 2010, the Company received "The Best Practice Award of Harvard Business Review" by Harvard Business Review China, recognizing the Company’s effective strategy and execution in the Chinese agriculture industry.

§ In September 2010, the Company entered into two new revolving credit facilities totaling RMB 400 million (approximately $59 million).

§ In August 2010, the Company opened a new production facility in Wuchuan County, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia., which is expected to be operational by year end. The Company's new facility is capable of producing 20,000 tons per annum of Shengmingsu plant nutrient product and 10,000 tons per annum of Shengmingsu animal nutrient product, for a total production capacity of 30,000 tons per annum.

§ In July 2010, the Company announced it increased the annual production capacity of its existing plant nutrient production line from 10,000 tons to 15,000 tons as a result of streamlining its production process and upgrading its manufacturing equipment

§ In July 2010, the Company acquired the Shengmingsu distribution network from its provincial level distributor in Hebei Province which is solely comprised of a customer list.

Business Outlook

For full year 2010, the Company expects revenues of between $200 million and $205 million, representing an increase of 103.9% and 109.0%, respectively, over last year’s revenue of $98.1 million. The Company expects adjusted net income attributable to Yongye, which excludes the impact of certain non-cash expenses such as the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, share-based compensation and amortization of the acquired Hebei customer list, of between $50 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, and $52 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, representing an increase of between 90.8% and 98.4%, respectively, over 2009 adjusted net income attributable to Yongye of $26.2 million, or $0.84 per diluted share. The Company increased its year-end target to at least 24,000 for the number of independently owned, Yongye-branded stores selling Yongye's Shengmingsu products, which represents a 163% increase over the 2009 year-end figure of 9,110.

Yongye is in the process of securing governmental approvals to close its previously announced acquisition of the development rights of a lignite coal resource project. The Company’s new production facility is currently in trial runs and is expected to launch normal operations by year end.

Mr. Wu concluded, "We are pleased to have already achieved our previously issued full year revenue guidance one quarter early. This reflects the robust demand for our product in the market and the success of our integrated marketing approach. As a result, we have raised our revenue and adjusted net income guidance for the full year.  Primarily due to the significant investments in training for branded store owners and other distributors that we made during the third quarter, we do not expect our full year 2010 selling expenses as a percentage of revenues to fall within the range of between 15% and 17% that we had previously indicated. However, we are actively evaluating the effectiveness of our training initiatives and based on our current estimates of optimal spending in this area we are confident that we will be able to keep our selling expenses excluding amortization of acquired customer list at no more than 20% of revenues.

“Overall, we remain confident in our business prospects. We expect sustained sales growth in both our traditional and new provinces. We expect our new state-of-the-art production facility, which we believe is the best of its kind in China, to launch normal operations later this quarter. We also are confident that we will complete the remaining requirements to receive government approvals for the acquisition of our lignite coal resource project. These facilities will help fulfill our anticipated increase in future market demand for our Shengmingsu products. We continue to expect to achieve at least a 50% annual growth rate in revenue in 2011 and 2012.”

Use of Adjusted Financial Measures

GAAP results for the three months ended September 30, 2010 include non-cash items related to a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities and amortization of the acquired Hebei customer list.

A reconciliation of the adjustments to GAAP results appears in the table accompanying this press release. This additional adjusted information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financials. The adjusted financial information that the Company provides also may differ from the adjusted information provided by other companies.
