FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

NOTE 18 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair values of the financial instruments as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 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. The fair 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, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, short-term bank loans, long-term loans and payables - current portion, accounts payable, accrued expenses 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 15.

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, and which approximated to its carrying amount as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND 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 omitted as permitted by rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The December 31, 2011 consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2011 audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position as of June 30, 2012, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 and cash flows for six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, have been made.

The Company’s business is subject to seasonal variations; thus, the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. Generally, the second and third quarters are peak sales periods, and first and fourth quarters are low sales periods for the Company.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of fixed assets; the allowance for doubtful accounts; the fair value determination of financial and equity instruments and stock compensation awards, the realizability of deferred tax assets and inventories; the recoverability of goodwill, intangible asset, prepayment for mining project, land use right and property, plant and equipment; and accruals for income tax uncertainties and other contingencies. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in those estimates and assumptions.

The Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC as well as by the general state of the PRC’s economy. In addition, the Company’s business may be influenced by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, rates and methods of taxation, and the extraction of mining resources, among other factors.

The holders of the redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares are  entitled to receive cumulative paid-in-kind dividends in additional shares of redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares, on each anniversary of the Issuance Date (See Note 15) (“Cumulative Dividends”), and therefore net income attributable to Yongye International, Inc is reduced by dividends accumulated for each reporting period in the computation of basic earnings per share. At each reporting period prior to the dividends declaration date, the fair value of the dividends accumulated is measured based on what it would be if the end of the reporting period was the dividend determination date.  In June 2012, 397,727 shares of paid-in-kind dividends with a total fair value of the US$1,808,667 were issued to MPSEA. The paid-in kind dividends for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 represent the fair value of the dividends on the declaration date, net of the amount accumulated in prior reporting periods within the anniversary of the Issuance Date.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of fixed assets; the allowance for doubtful accounts; the fair value determination of financial and equity instruments and stock compensation awards, the realizability of deferred tax assets and inventories; the recoverability of goodwill, intangible asset, prepayment for mining project, land use right and property, plant and equipment; and accruals for income tax uncertainties and other contingencies. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in those estimates and assumptions.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

NOTE 1 -ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Yongye International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 12, 2006. On April 17, 2008, the Company and the Company’s then 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 to the Company all of their shares in exchange for 11,444,755 shares of the Company’s common shares (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Fullmax became a 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 held a nominal amount of cash and, Fullmax, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Asia Standard Oil Limited (“ASO”) and indirect subsidiary, Yongye Nongfeng Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (“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 interests in 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.

On January 4, 2008, the incorporation and establishment of Yongye Nongfeng was approved by the Inner Mongolia Department of Commerce and the Inner Mongolia Administration for Industry and Commerce. The scope of business of Yongye Nongfeng is the research and development, manufacturing, distribution and sale of fulvic acid based liquid and powder nutrient compounds used in the agriculture industry. The period of the cooperative joint venture is ten years and may be extended by a written application submitted to the relevant government authority for approval no less than six months prior to the expiration of the cooperative joint venture. Prior to the legal establishment of Yongye Nongfeng, both Fullmax and ASO were non-substantive holding companies with no assets and operations and were primarily designed and used as legal vehicles to facilitate foreign participation in the business conducted by Inner Mongolia Yongye.

In connection with the September Offering (See Note 15), 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 consideration paid for the Acquisition consisted of cash of US$4.7 million and 4.5% equity interests in Yongye Nongfeng. After the Acquisition, Inner Mongolia Yongye and ASO became 5% and 95% equity interest owner of Yongye Nongfeng, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, ASO made a capital contribution of US$55,999,965 into Yongye Nongfeng. During the year ended December 31, 2011, ASO made a capital contribution of US$42,541,199 into Yongye Nongfeng. These contributions resulted in an increase in ASO’s registered capital interest in Yongye Nongfeng to 98.8%.

On July 20, 2010, Yongye Nongfeng set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, Inner Mongolia Yongye Fumin Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (“Yongye Fumin”), with registered capital of US$14,731,880 (equivalent to RMB100 million). Yongye Fumin is engaged in the manufacturing and sale of fulvic acid based liquid and powder nutrient compounds. Yongye Fumin was established to expand the production capacity for fulvic acid based liquid and powder nutrient compounds, and to produce humic acid using lignite coal (See Note 9). The construction of the production plant of Yongye Fumin, which is located in Wuchuan County, was completed in the fourth quarter of 2010.

In May 2011, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with MSPEA Agriculture Holding Limited (“MSPEA”), an affiliate of Morgan Stanley, and Full Alliance International Limited (“Full Alliance”), the Company’s largest shareholder. According to the agreement, the Company issued 5,681,818 shares of redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares to MSPEA on June 9, 2011 (“Issuance Date”) for total gross proceeds of US$50 million. The redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares are convertible into common stock of the Company at an initial conversion price of US$8.80 subject to certain adjustments as specified in the agreement (See Note 15).

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company began to sell two new products, a crop seed nutrient product and a crop root nutrient product named “Zhongbaosheng” and “Qianggenbao”, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, revenue from the two new products were US$21 million and US$69 million, respectively.

Redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares

In May 2011, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with MSPEA, an affiliate of Morgan Stanley, and Full Alliance, the Company’s largest shareholder. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, on June 9, 2011 the Company issued 5,681,818 shares of redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares to MSPEA for gross proceeds of US$50 million. The redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares are convertible into common stock of the Company at an initial conversion price of US$8.80, subject to further adjustments as discussed below.

In June 2012, 397,727 shares redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares were issued to MSPEA as paid-in-kind dividends. Total fair value of the paid-in-kind dividends as of the declaration and issuance date was US$1,808,667. The estimated fair values of the paid-in-kind dividends were determined using Monte Carlo Simulation Model.

The significant terms of the redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares are as follows:

Liquidation Preference

In the event of liquidation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares then outstanding shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of the common stock, with respect to each outstanding share of redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the original issue price, representing US$8.80 per share of redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares, plus (a) all accrued but unpaid preferred dividends and (b) other declared but unpaid dividends on redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares, and (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares been converted into common stock immediately prior to such liquidation.

If upon liquidation, the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares the full liquidation preference to which they shall be entitled in accordance with the above, the holders of the redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

Dividends

The holders of the redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares shall be entitled to receive paid-in-kind dividends in additional shares of redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares, on each anniversary of the Issuance Date. The calculation of paid-in kind dividends is based on the number of shares of redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares held by such holders on such anniversary multiplied by an annual dividend rate determined on such anniversary in accordance with the formula set forth below (the “Preferred Dividend Rate”), compounded annually:

Preferred Dividend Rate is defined as 7% - [(VWAP - 8.8) x 2 / 310], where VWAP means one-year volume weighted average share price of the Company during the 365-day period immediately prior to the applicable anniversary of Issuance Date, provided that the preferred dividend rate should not exceed 7% per annum and shall not fall below 3% per annum.

In addition, the holders of redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares should also receive, on an as-converted basis, any dividends or distributions that the Company declares to the holders of common stock.

Conversion

At any time after issuance, each holder of any shares of redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares then outstanding may, at such holder’s option, elect to convert all or any portion of the shares of redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares held by such holder into a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. The initial conversion price is US$8.80 per share and is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments for issuances of shares of common stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of the common stock, or mergers or reorganizations or future issuances of other Company’s securities at a price lower than the then applicable conversion price. Additionally, the conversion price is subject to upward or downward adjustments, depending upon the Actual Net Income (as defined below) being greater than or lower than the Cumulative Net Income Guarantee (as defined below) of the corresponding period, provided that (i) the conversion price, as adjusted, shall not exceed US$15.00 per share, and (ii) the sum of all shares of common stock issuable to the holders of redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares as a result of conversions, dividends, or distributions, or common stock acquired shall not exceed 9,869,205, or 19.99% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on May 29, 2011, which is the date the Company entered into the securities purchase agreement for the issuance of redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares.

The Actual Net Income means, in respect of any fiscal year or quarter, the consolidated net income of the Company for such fiscal year or quarter (as applicable), after all charges and provisions for taxes and minority interests and adjusted to exclude certain items, as audited (for fiscal years) or reviewed (for fiscal quarters) in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Cumulative Net Income Guarantee is defined as: US$84 million for fiscal 2011, US$210 million for the cumulative period of fiscal 2011 through fiscal 2012, US$399 million for the cumulative period of fiscal 2011 through fiscal 2013, and US$682.5 million for the cumulative period of fiscal 2011 through fiscal 2014.

Automatic Conversion

On the fifth anniversary of the Issuance Date of the redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares, all redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares will automatically convert into common stock at the then applicable conversion price.

Voting Rights

The holders of the redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares are entitled to vote upon all matters upon which the holders of common stocks have the right to vote, such votes to be counted together with all other shares of stock having general voting powers and not separately as a class. Each holder of the outstanding redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares shall be entitled to cast the number of votes, which is equal to the number of votes that would be attributable to the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares.

Redemption

The holders of the redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares have the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the outstanding redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares upon the occurrence of any of the following conditions: (i) a material breach by any of the Company and Full Alliance of any of the key obligations under the securities purchase agreement and related transaction documents, (ii) the failure to remain current in the Company’s securities filings, (iii) the failure to obtain the Exploration Right (See Note 9) and recover amounts paid for such rights, on or prior to June 30, 2012, and (iv) the discontinuation of Mr. Zishen Wu as CEO of the Company prior to December 31, 2014, unless his cessation of duties results from his death, disability or incapacity. In such cases, the redemption price for the redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares would be equal to an amount that would yield a total internal rate of return of 30% on the purchase price of the redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares.

The holders of the redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares also have the right to redeem all or a portion of their redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares if (i) the quotient of the Company’s aggregate earnings per share in any six rolling consecutive quarters from the first quarter of 2010 onwards divided by the aggregate amount of the earnings per share of the corresponding periods in the prior year is less than 120%, and (ii) net income of any fiscal year between 2011 and 2014 is less than the relevant Income Threshold for such year. In such cases, the redemption price for the redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares would be equal to an amount that would yield a total internal rate of return of 20% on the purchase price of the redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares. The “Income Threshold” is defined as: US$75 million for the fiscal year 2011, US$101 million for the fiscal year 2012, US$121 million for the fiscal year 2013 and US$145 million for the fiscal year 2014, subject to certain adjustments caused by future issuances of the Company’s securities that have a dilutive effect on the holders of the redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares.

Based on the historical income level, year to date income and projected net income and earnings per share for the next three years, management believes it is not probable that the Series A convertible preferred shares are redeemable as at December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012. The Company assesses the probability of whether the redeemable Series A convertible preferred shares are redeemable at each reporting period end.

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 as an inducement to the April Offering. The warrants issued have a five-year exercise period with an initial exercise price of US$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 as an inducement to the September Offering. The warrants issued have a five-year exercise period with an initial exercise price of US$1.848. In addition, 607,301 warrants were issued 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 and was issued 686,878 shares of common stock of the Company. In exchange for the issuance of 354,987 shares, Roth surrendered 649,562 warrants received in the April Offering; and in exchange for the issuance of 331,891 shares, Roth surrendered 607,301 warrants received in the September Offering.

Concurrent with the offering of the “May Shares”, the Company issued to Roth as the placement agent, 246,224 warrants (“May Warrants”). The warrants have a five-year exercise period and an initial exercise price of US$1.848. On November 9, 2009, Roth executed an irrevocable cashless exercise of all the “May Warrants”. 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 six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, no “April Warrants” and “September Warrants” were exercised by April Investors and September Investors.

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 common stock at a price of US$1.54 per share and accordingly, the exercise price of the April Warrants and the September Warrants was reduced to US$1.54 per share.  The exercise price of the May Warrants (US$1.848) was not affected but is also subject to potential down-round adjustments in future periods. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were 148,172 warrants outstanding, of which 48,714 and 99,458 warrants will 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 gain resulting from the decrease in fair value of warrants was US$9,889 and US$83,435 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The gain resulting from the decrease in fair value of warrants was US$69,287 and US$413,587 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The estimated fair values of the warrants issued to April Investor and September Investor were determined at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 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 June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Stock-based compensation

Pursuant to the 2010 Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which was approved by the stockholders of the Company in the annual meeting held on June 11, 2010, the Company was authorized to issue up to 2,350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to selected executives, key employees and directors. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock that can be issued is limited to an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares in any calendar year. The purpose of the Plan is to provide incentives to such individuals to promote the success of the Company’s business.

In October 2010, the Company granted 1,183,667 restricted shares to management and independent directors of the Company in accordance with the Plan. Management was granted 1,137,000 shares on October 8, 2010, and the independent directors were granted 46,667 shares on October 15, 2011. The shares vested in April 2011.

INCOME TAXES

NOTE 17 - INCOME TAXES

Effective from January 1, 2008, the PRC’s statutory income tax rate is 25%. The Company’s PRC subsidiaries are subject to income tax rate of 25%, unless otherwise specified. During 2010, Yongye Nongfeng was qualified as a High-Tech Enterprise which entitles it to a preferential tax rate of 15% for three years from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2012.

The Company’s effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were 17.66% and 19.49%, respectively, and were 17.69% and 20.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 differs from the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25% primarily due to the effect of Yongye Nongfeng’s preferential tax treatment, which is partly offset by the effect of non-deductible expenses.

There has been no change in unrecognized tax benefits during the six months ended June 30, 2012. In addition, the Company does not expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next 12 months. No interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was US$730,693 and US$755,628, respectively. Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was US$1,485,114 and US$1,453,508, respectively. The estimated annual amortization expense for intangible asset in each of the next five years is US$2,909,161.

On July 1, 2010, Yongye Nongfeng entered into an agreement with its provincial level distributor in Hebei Province, the PRC (“Seller”) to purchase the customer list, including the customer relationships, from Seller (“Customer List”). The acquisition of the Customer List allows Yongye Nongfeng to sell its products to sub-provincial level or regional distributors in Hebei Province directly. The consideration of the Customer List was 3,600,000 shares of common stock of the Company which was issued in July 2010 and US$3 million cash. The US$3 million cash consideration was paid in March 2011.

The Company determined that a nine-year period to amortize the customer list was appropriate, following the pattern in which the expected benefits of the acquired asset will be consumed or otherwise used up. The Company’s contract period with the provincial distributors (including sub-provincial level distributors after the acquisition) generally is for a period of three-years. The Company believes that it has historical experience in renewing or extending similar distributor contracts, which is consistent with the intended use of the Customer List. There are no legal or regulatory provisions that limit the useful life of the Customer List or that cause the cash flows and useful life of the Customer List to be constrained. In addition, the Company expects the effect of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors to be minimal.

The Company engaged an independent third party valuation firm in determining the fair value of the Customer List. The fair value of the Customer List was determined using an income approach and considered assumptions (including turnover rate) that a market participant would make consistent with the highest and best use of the asset by market participants. The period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the Customer List was nine years. Without evidence to the contrary, the Company expects that the Customer List will be renewed or extended at the same rate as a market participant would expect, and no other factors would indicate a different useful life is more appropriate. Accordingly, in light of the absence of any other entity-specific factors, the useful life of the Customer List was determined to be nine years.

A straight-line method of amortization has been adopted as the pattern in which the economic benefits of the Customer List are used up cannot be reliably determined.

PREPAYMENT FOR MINING PROJECT

NOTE 9 - PREPAYMENT FOR MINING PROJECT

On March 1, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with its then major humic acid supplier, Wuchuan Shuntong Humic Acid Company Ltd. (“Vendor”), to acquire the permit for the rights to explore, develop and produce lignite coal resources (the “Mineral Right”) in a certain area of Wuchuan County (the “Project Site”) for cash consideration of approximately RMB 240 million or US$ 35 million. The permit allows the Company to complete all necessary administrative procedures and obtaining government approvals to acquire the Mineral Right. Pursuant to the agreement, Vendor is to assist the Company in completing all necessary administrative procedures and obtaining government approvals.

In August 2011, Inner Mongolia’s Ministry of Land and Resources granted the Company a Mineral Resource Exploration Permit which gives it exclusive exploration rights for the 29.74 square kilometer Project Site for an initial period of three years effective August 2, 2011 (the “Exploration Right”). As of June 30, 2012, the Company had not obtained all other government approvals, including the Geological Report and Geological Exploration Report, for it to acquire the Mineral Right. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company engaged a third party mineral institute to assist the Company in obtaining Geological Exploration Report. The Company believes the cost to be incurred in completing the remaining administrative procedures and obtaining government approvals are not significant. The Project Site in Wuchuan is located near Yongye Fumin’s production plant which manufactures the majority of the Company’s products. The Company believes the acquisition of the Mineral Right will allow it to secure a long term supply of humic acid, which is a major raw material used in the manufacture of fulvic acid based liquid and powder nutrient compounds, and which is sourced from lignite coals.

NOTE 19 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In December 2010, the Company entered into an operating lease for an office space in Beijing, PRC for the period from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2013. The lease expense for the Beijing office was US$66,005 and US$64,172 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and US$132,121 and US$127,559 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, the minimum lease payment for each of the twelve month periods ending June 30, 2013 and 2014 under a non-cancellable operating lease agreement was US$264,234 and US$132,117 respectively, or an aggregate amount of US$396,351. There is no minimum lease payment in the next third, fourth and fifth twelve month periods.

On May 26, 2011 and June 3, 2011, the Company and three of its officers and directors were named in putative class action lawsuits filed in the US Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging, among other things, that the Company and such officers and directors issued false and misleading information to investors about the Company’s financial and business condition. These securities class action complaints generally alleged that the Company’s business was not growing at the rate it represented and that the Company’s financial results as reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission were inconsistent with its production capabilities. On March 5, 2012, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed this action with prejudice as to themselves as named plaintiffs.

On July 19, 2011, the Company and certain of its officers and directors were named in a derivative suit filed in the First Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada and Carson City alleging, among other things, that such directors and officers breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, misrepresented the Company’s earnings, wasted corporate assets and unjustly enriched themselves at the expense of the Company. The derivative complaint also alleges that the Company, at the direction of or with the approval of its directors, failed to implement an adequate system of internal and financial controls. This lawsuit is in its early stages. The Company believes the claims contained in the lawsuit to be without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 consisted of the following:

	June 30, 2012			December 31, 2011
Accounts receivable	US$	197,359,480		US$	168,852,106
Less: allowance for doubtful accounts		(8,999,828	)		(15,222,584	)
Total	US$	188,359,652		US$	153,629,522

The activities in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

	June 30, 2012			June 30, 2011
Allowance for doubtful accounts at beginning of period	US$	15,222,584		US$	-
Charged to bad debt expense		-			-
Reversal of allowance for doubtful accounts, net		(6,334,832	)		-
Foreign currency translation adjustment		112,076			-
Allowance for doubtful accounts at end of period	US$	8,999,828		US$	-

Past due balances are reviewed individually for collectability. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the entire accounts receivable as of December 31, 2011, including all the past due accounts were collected by the Company. Accordingly, the Company reassessed its allowance for doubtful accounts and recorded a reversal of the allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of US$6.3 million, which was included in general and administrative expenses. The reversal of the allowance for doubtful accounts primarily related to successful settlement of past due accounts receivable from certain distributors that management had assessed collection to be doubtful due to historical collection pattern, the size of the distributors’ businesses, and length of the relationship with the distributors. Although the Company continues to deliver products to these distributors, revenues from sale of products to these distributors are not recognized until collectability is reasonably assured, and this is generally evidenced by receipt of cash until sufficient period of historical collection experience can be demonstrated. The Company determines the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts by considering the amount of historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and the customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute and past due, the accounts receivables aging and customers’ repayment patterns.
